Predicament
A suit of green clothes hurriedly passed through the intricately complex 【Alleyway】.
Li Qingshan step by step stepped on the steps, suddenly seeing on the side a corpse with heart dug empty. Figure unconsciously paused.
Li Qingshan's Adam's apple rolled. He carefully avoided Maple Ghost's corpse, all the way forward. After walking several tens of steps, the narrow 【Alleyway】 in front of eyes suddenly opened up.
"This is..."
Li Qingshan looked around all sides. Footsteps stepping on the devastated bridge bottom. In eyes full of shock.
What kind of battle should have happened, to be able to take here turning into this kind of appearance?
Li Qingshan one step stepped across the scorched black corpse. Following the voice transmitted from not far away walking over. Along with his approach, a voice carrying weak electric current increasingly clear.
"...【Enclosure Circle】 already locked dead Willow Town surroundings. A few high rank 【Architect】s also are about to arrive. Even if you have more means, also is nothing more than being a person alone. Cannot escape our palm... 【Floating Life Painting】, will let you pay a price."
Ink-like dark clouds gathered in the sky. Amidst piercingly cold evil wind. A suit of 【Great Crimson Theatrical Robe】 flew alone on the ruins.
"Good ah." That figure holding 【Walkie-talkie】, faintly opening mouth, "I wait for you all."
Bang——!
Voice falling. That figure five fingers used force. Abruptly taking 【Walkie-talkie】 crushing to explosion in hand!
That suit of red clothes slowly relaxed palm. Allowing the 【Walkie-talkie】's fragments to float scattering in the air. At his foot, Lin Xi's corpse was currently 【Dying With Eyes Wide Open】 falling in the blood pool.
Like detecting something. That suit of red clothes slightly turned head. A beam of gaze landed on Li Qingshan's body, letting his body shake.
That is what kind of pair of eyes?
Icy cold, chilling, lonely yet powerful... like a trapped beast on the verge of death. Whole body bathed in blood, flashing with calm madness.
Li Qingshan never saw this kind of gaze before. This instant, as if there was a gust of icy cold chill surging up to the top of skull from foot bottom. His whole person just like being watched by some kind of fierce beast. Not daring to move a fraction. Only sweat water continuously seeping out from his back.
"Li Qingshan?" Chen Ling's eyes slightly narrowed, "What are you doing here?"
"I... I wanted to come help you."
"Help me?"
"I just now on the road going to pick firewood, then was blocked by that person. I guessed he roughly was coming to catch you. Then thought of coming over to plead for you..." Li Qingshan opened his mouth. Ultimately silently taking out a few crumpled silver notes from sleeve. Emitting rustling sounds in the wind,
"I know this money is not much. But what if they are willing to accept it? As long as I beg them again. Perhaps can temporarily let you have a way of life...
Old saying goes, 【Where There Is Life There Is Hope】; as long as living, in the future always have ways to reduce punishment."
Li Qingshan paused for a moment, again supplementing a sentence,
"I am only an 【Ordinary Person】. What I can do truly is limited... perhaps to you all speaking this has no meaning at all. But if doing nothing. I this life all will have an uneasy heart."
Cold wind brushed past the devastated 【Bridge Underpass】, emitting humming sound.
Below the gloomy vault of heaven. Chen Ling looking at the green clothed Li Qingshan with determined gaze, fell into silence.
Don't know how long passed. He only then slowly opened his mouth, "You and I only met by chance. I don't remember doing anything worthy of you helping me."
"【Brother Lin】, do you not know? Because of the things you did in the theatrical troupe. Willow Town already became the focus of the whole 【Red Dust Domain】's attention. 【Flower Capital Consortium】 already apologized. Very quickly then going to carry out second examination in Willow Town. Moreover in order to restore public opinion, proving themselves didn't have 【Inside Story】 operation. This time definitely will guarantee the fairness and justice of the examination. Otherwise it's exactly letting other consortia and media grab the handle...
【Brother Lin】, because of you. All people of Willow Town, all possessed a chance to change fate."
Hearing this, in Chen Ling's eyes flashed a smear of astonished faint light.
Regarding 【Flower Capital Consortium】 apologizing. He seemingly heard it on the 【Radio】 before. However he himself also didn't expect, his own unintentional act, actually caused such a major influence...
Chen Ling deeply looked a glance at Li Qingshan,
"Looks like, the doorway within this, you also are not completely ignorant of."
Previously when in the theatrical troupe. Li Qingshan almost stubbornly completed the performance. Seemingly completely ignorant of worldly wisdom... But looking from his inference just now. He towards the doorway within it, already saw it as clearly as a fire.
"Know then what?" Li Qingshan mocked himself laughing a bit, "I a commoner, also cannot change anything... as long as I close both eyes. Those filthy dirty things, naturally then are not there."
"You right now are willing to use money to save me. Why previously didn't use money to open up relationships? Otherwise, perhaps you a few years ago then could have entered the 【Main City】."
"That is not the same." Li Qingshan solemnly shook his head, "Today pawning family property to save you, is benevolence and righteousness; but if using this money to bribe judges. That then is dirty... even if using this kind of means entered the 【Main City】. My play, also is no longer pure.
This kind of prospect, I Li Qingshan do not want."
Chen Ling silently stood on the spot for a long time, slightly nodding:
"Your heart's intent, I accepted it... right now you can leave."
Finishing saying this sentence, Chen Ling then turned around to leave.
Li Qingshan's original intent was wanting to come help Chen Ling. Result when arriving, he already took three people all counter-killing... right now he is currently being pursued and killed by 【Floating Life Painting】. If Li Qingshan again doesn't leave. I'm afraid will take him also involving inside.
Li Qingshan suddenly opened his mouth, "【Brother Lin】, you follow me going back right!"
Chen Ling stopped footsteps, slightly turning head, "What?"
"Aren't those people wanting to kill you? You also don't have a hiding place... you follow me going back. I then say you are my distant cousin. Like this even if they check on the door, also won't suspect you. Should be able to protect you for a period of time."
Li Qingshan's expression was incomparably earnest.
Chen Ling's both eyes slightly narrowed. After briefly pondering for a moment, still shaking head,
He faintly spat out two words:
"No need."
The next moment, that suit of red clothes then alone disappeared at the end of the wind and rain.
Li Qingshan watching Chen Ling's decisively departing back. Blankly standing on the spot. After a long time, helplessly sighed a breath of air...
Speaking truthfully, regarding Li Qingshan's proposal, Chen Ling indeed somewhat heart moved.
Right now 【Enclosure Circle】 sealed dead Willow Town. 【Floating Life Painting】's strong practitioners very quickly then will arrive. Chen Ling frontally necessarily is not an opponent... And Li Qingshan's proposal, is equivalent to letting Chen Ling perfectly integrate into Willow Town. Even if those people pursue and investigate up. Wanting to confirm the authenticity of distant relative also is very difficult. The most crucial is, they won't think of Willow Town people would risk danger shielding Chen Ling. Like a natural protective umbrella.
But the problem is, 【Floating Life Painting】 already moved true anger. Not killing Chen Ling to death, they won't release 【Enclosure Circle】. Under times and times again of screening, always will appear clues... At that time, not only Chen Ling himself suffers disaster. Li Qingshan and 【Elderly Woman】 who shield him also will be implicated.
Chen Ling alone walking in the wind and rain, eyebrows tightly locked,
"This time... exactly should how to 【Breaking the Deadlock】?"
...
【Inn】, Room 301.
【Beautiful Youth】 lying on the bed like falling asleep. Suddenly turned a body. Lazily yawned.
His both eyes slowly opened. Corner of mouth hooked up a smear of faint smile intent.
