Chapter 85 Familiar Stranger
The key was very small, only three or four centimeters long, dark black, without any carvings. If it weren't for its unique shape, it would have looked like a small fire stick. The key handle was only the size of a thumbnail, and was a copper coin with a round outer edge and a square inner edge. The extended key body looked like a short blade, and the tip of the key looked like a sword was about to be sheathed, but the scabbard was broken off, leaving only a short section of the scabbard. Zhou Ning reached out and touched the ups and downs of the well-polished ridges on the tip of the key. He wondered what kind of lock core would be matched with such a strange key.
No one knew what material this small key was made of, but it was extremely hard. Zhou Ning could scratch the iron sheet of the safe with it, but this small thing did not leave any scratches at all, and it felt very light.
"This little key is pretty. Why don't you wear it as a necklace?" For some reason, Zhou Ting fell in love with this pitch-black little thing at first sight. Something that Sun Hua treasured so much and put in the safe must have its special features. Although neither of them knew what the use of this broken watch, this peculiarly shaped black key and the exquisite dice was, there would definitely be no harm in keeping them.
"Why do you insist on getting me a necklace?" Zhou Ning felt that something was wrong with Zhou Ting. His brother rarely acted so hesitant.
"I just happen to have it." Zhou Ting picked up the key and took out a very delicate silver chain from the safe. Then, a small black key necklace was hung around Zhou Ning's neck without any explanation.
The moment the black pendant touched his skin, Zhou Ning felt an electric shock. The five-pointed star on his neck that appeared out of nowhere also became hot for a moment, and then immediately cooled down. The time was so short that even Zhou Ting, who was standing behind Zhou Ning, didn't notice it. Zhou Ning reached out and touched the mark on his neck, feeling puzzled.
"Beautiful!" Zhou Ting praised highly. Zhou Ning doubted his aesthetic taste and chose to change the subject.
“These bars are too conspicuous to be stored in a bank.”
"Leave it to me! I promise to do everything for you. Keep this money for emergencies. It's hard to find so many currencies."
Zhou Ning didn't want to save the money at first. "Okay, let's do as you say." She picked up the pair of exquisite dice and the broken watch and looked at them.
"This thing looks very expensive, you should carry it with you. Sun Hua is not going to go to such lengths to keep something useless, as for this watch."
“I’ll keep them all.”
A few days later, Zhou Ting brought back four black statues. Zhou Ning looked from left to right but couldn't recognize what they were.
Zhou Ting smiled and joked: "If you look beyond the phenomenon to the essence, this is the real God of Wealth."
Zhou Ning understood, and Zhou Ting placed these statues in different places in the house. They looked black and worthless at first glance.
Zhou Ting was very busy during this period, leaving home early and returning late to deal with various things. Zhou Ning, except for the necessary training forced by Zeng Ajiu, spent most of her time lying at home, having everything provided for her, and she was almost exhausted, but she liked it very much.
"Who would have thought that the man who turned the world upside down would be like this in his daily life!"
Zhou Ning was startled, and his right hand clenched into a fist reflexively, and the steel needle on the pinky ring popped out immediately. Ma Tian's betrayal made Zhou Ting even more distrustful of outsiders. Only Zhou Ting knew the location of the house and Zhou Ning's condition. Even when Xue Qing came to treat him, Zhou Ting blindfolded her. Fortunately, Xue Qing understood and cooperated.
In the middle of the night, someone suddenly climbed up from the window. Even if Zhou Ning was fine, she would be scared to be alone at home, not to mention that she was still hiding from those people outside. Zhou Ning did not turn on the light. She calmed down and looked at the window.
"What? You want to give my other eye a try?"
Zhou Ning looked over with the weak moonlight outside. The man was hidden in the darkness and his face could not be seen clearly. There was a rag wrapped around his neck. The rag was soaked with blood but not replaced, and it had become a black blood scab. Zhou Ning's nerves were touched at once. The steel needle in her hand had only been used for a short time, and only a few people had been pierced with it. The most impressive thing was the man who grabbed her desperately when Zhou Ting was holding her and running away on the huge ship, trying to pull them both off.
"Impossible! How could you still be alive?" Zhou Ning turned on the light and was eager to confirm whether he was a human or a ghost, although she was very scared whether it was a human or a ghost.
The man looked even scarier under the light than in the dark. His injured neck was bandaged hastily, with large patches of bruises extending to his collarbone. There were multiple burns on his exposed skin, large areas of blood blisters left untreated, and some of them were scratched and bleeding. He really didn't look like a human, but more like a demon from hell.
"My grandmother has always said that I am very lucky and hard to kill." The man jumped into the room from the window, looked around the room, and sat down in front of the dressing table. Without asking, he took the food and drinks on the dressing table and stuffed them into his mouth, looking like he hadn't eaten for 800 years. Zhou Ning stared at the movements around him nervously, until the man had eaten and drunk enough and no one else appeared.
“Are you alone?”
"Isn't it obvious?" The man picked up the toothpick on the table and crossed his legs. "Don't be so nervous. I'm not here to arrest you."
Zhou Ning didn't believe his lies, "Then why did you come to see me?"
“I want to hang out with you.”
Even though Zhou Ning had anticipated countless answers, he never thought he would say this. "You are in this state now because of me. You don't want revenge but you want to get involved with me?"
"That's right!"
Zhou Ning had killed him at that time, using a steel needle tempered with a deadly poison to pierce his artery many times, almost tearing his flesh apart. Under normal circumstances, he should have died from the poison. Although it is unknown why he did not die, the grudge was definitely formed. Moreover, the large area of burns on his body was also caused by Zhou Ting's bombing of the ship.
"We were enemies at the time, and there was nothing wrong with you resisting when I arrested you."
Zhou Ning was also impressed by this train of thought, "What about now?"
"Now that I'm no longer a member of that gang, I'm free, so I'm going to hang out with you."
Zhou Ning had a headache. Could this guy be a masochist? "What if I don't agree?"
"Then I'll stay here. I think this place is pretty good. There's food and drink, and it's clean."
"You think that I dare not say anything now, so I can't do anything to you, right? You are acting like a rogue in front of me! Let me tell you, I am not a good person. I have killed many people and robbed many people." Zhou Ning was very confused. She had only met this man once, so why did he have to be with her?
"It's okay if you can kill me." The man didn't explain much and just lay down somewhere in the room. Zhou Ning was not a pushover either, he got up and went to the kitchen to pick up a kitchen knife and started chopping.
"Damn, I've never seen such a request since I was a child!"
