beloved does not come back

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the carriage, and Yu Lang's steady and long breathing was close at hand.

Two hours later, Cui Ruyue stopped the car.

Yu Lang was still asleep, Cui Ruyue whispered, "Wake him up? He's here."

Jiang Tianxiao thought for a while, and also replied in a low voice: "It's okay, let him sleep for a while."

Cui Ruyue nodded.

It was dark outside the car window, except for a white light on a tall utility pole not far away.

This scene reminded Jiang Tianxiao of many places he and Yu Lang had been to, the abandoned construction site in Liuzhou, the morgue by the Yellow River, the dead Ma's house in Wuwei... At that time, he would still be nervous and afraid because of the darkness, Yu Lang beside him is the most effective sedative.

Now that all deceptions and illusions have peeled off, he is still facing darkness.

But this time, Yu Lang beside him could no longer give him a sense of security.

But Jiang Tianxiao knew that he was not afraid.

Yu Lang's head moved on his shoulder, and Jiang Tianxiao's neck was itchy as his soft hair rubbed against it.He lowered his head, rubbed the tip of his nose against the top of Lang's head, and asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Yu Lang exhaled lightly and straightened up: "I drank a little too much."

"Do you want to get out of the car to get some air?" Jiang Tianxiao stretched out his hand and squeezed Yu Lang's shoulder.

"Let's go, the formation is here." Yu Lang grabbed Jiang Tianxiao's hand and kissed the back of his hand as if no one was there.

Jiang Tianxiao followed Yu Lang out of the car, Cui Ruyue walked behind them, and asked softly, "Yu Lang, are you sure you're sober? If not, why don't we... come back in two days?"

Yu Lang waved his hand without looking back: "Don't worry."

The phone that was in the pocket of his trousers vibrated, and after about half a minute, it vibrated again.Jiang Tianxiao didn't move, and silently followed behind Yu Lang.

When he got closer, Jiang Tianxiao could see the building in front of him clearly.

Behind a tall iron gate is a bungalow.

The reason for saying "one building" is that although this one-story house has only one floor, it is far higher than the height of one floor of ordinary buildings.In addition, this one-story house occupies a large area. Looking from the door to the two sides, the corner of the house cannot be seen clearly.

"It's a warehouse, I rented it out." Yu Lang said.

"Oh, it's huge."

Yu Lang nodded.Cui Ruyue stepped forward, took out the key and unlocked the iron door.

"Squeak—" the sound was extraordinarily long in the dark silence.

After a few steps, we arrived at the warehouse door.

Yu Lang stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

"Ah!" Jiang Tianxiao let out a low cry.

The warehouse, about half the size of a football field, is filled with tall, thin red candles.At a glance, bright yellow candle flames are densely packed.

These candles were not placed randomly, but arranged in some complicated pattern. Jiang Tianxiao thought that if he could stand on a high place, he would be able to see the pattern clearly.

Although he was mentally prepared, the scene of thousands of candle flames flickering in the darkness still made Jiang Tianxiao's palms sweat.

Jiang Tianxiao remembered that when he was a child, he and his grandma once saw a ritual in a temple. In a deep temple, a haggard old monk sat cross-legged on a cattail mat, with only his lips slightly opening and closing, singing a long Sanskrit **.

And now—isn't this a ritual event?

If time hadn't stopped on Yu Lang, he would probably be more terrifying than that old monk now, right?

"Don't be afraid," Yu Lang turned his head and smiled at Jiang Tianxiao: "It's just a formation."

Jiang Tianxiao had restrained his emotions and said a calm "hmm".

The next second, footsteps suddenly came from the corner of the warehouse!

Jiang Tianxiao's body tensed instantly!

"See if there is any problem with the placement of the candles. I'm exhausted." It was Long Ke's voice: "Jiang Tianxiao...see you again."

Long Ke walked over slowly and looked at Jiang Tianxiao with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Tianxiao was almost terrified—didn't Long Ke betray Yu Lang?Why is Long Ke here?Why did Long Ke help Yu Lang set up these candles?

"Didn't you forgive you, Teacher Yu?" Long Ke shrugged, "Let me help, otherwise you would have to get so many candles."

Jiang Tianxiao: "..."

There was no problem with what he said, but he still couldn't believe it. How could such a decisive and ruthless person like Yu Lang trust a person who betrayed him?

A terrible thought immediately came to Jiang Tianxiao's mind: Could it be... Could it be that Long Ke never betrayed Tai Lang, but just cooperated with Yu Lang in acting?

But Long Ke did tell him a lot of truths, just like Shen Yuanmen, pushing him away from Yu Lang overtly and secretly.

So why on earth is Long Ke appearing here? !

"Tianxiao, come," Yu Lang held Jiang Tianxiao's hand, "I'll show you this formation."
