One meter high

Zhu Qi touched his face. For quite a long time in the past, this scar gave him a sufficient sense of security.Otherwise, like Man Man's mother, he might be controlled by drugs to do some shady business.

However, he is not much better now.

The street lamp outside the window was on, and the moth flapped its wings, casting flickering light and shadow on the window.Zhu Qi leaned on the head of the bed, bent one leg, and warmed his knee with his palm.

There was a scar on his knee, which was so faded that he couldn't see it now, and Zhu Qi also forgot why it was left there.Maybe it was because he was caught stealing something, or maybe he was trying to compete with someone for a place to sleep at night - he had suffered too many injuries, some of which healed up quickly, and some of them hadn't faded after many years.

Whether he likes it or not, life always leaves some lingering traces.Yuan Yue grew up in the mountains, his eyes are as clear as spring water, and his heart is straightforward; while Zhu Qi has been rolling in the world for the past few years, his face has long been covered with dust.Originally, he didn't think there was anything, but the closer he got to Yuan Yue, the more he could see himself reflected in those crystal-clear eyes, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Zhu Qi glanced at the phone, the screen was dark, and Yuan Yue did not send a message.

This kid said it in a nasty way, but he didn't miss me very much.Zhu Qi thought in his heart.It's been almost an hour, why hasn't he sent a message yet?

Zhu Qi has never been in love before, let alone met many people who make his heart move, so he is actually quite at a loss.He has already learned all kinds of ways to make a living, but he doesn't know how to say all kinds of nasty words without changing his face like Yuan Yue, and he doesn't know how to face his mixed feelings of loss and frustration at the moment.

It's all Yuan Yue's fault.Zhu Qi was thinking angrily, picked up the phone and started editing as if admitting defeat, but the phone vibrated slightly, it was Yuan Yue's belated message——

"I'm back at the hotel. Are you home yet? There are a lot of people here today, and it's very difficult to dismiss. The senior brother said that he happened to go to the conference hall for a meeting. If he had known, I wouldn't have come back." The symbols were added so rigidly that Zhu Qi could almost imagine him frowning and poking at the screen.

"Are you still going to have a meeting?" Zhu Qi couldn't help laughing, he couldn't imagine a group of charlatans—especially Yuan Yue sitting in the meeting hall in a serious manner.

"Well, brother likes the meeting. It lasts for a long time, and they talk endlessly."

"What? Discuss spells?" Zhu Qi guessed.

Yuan Yue's reply simply interrupted his imagination: "I don't know. Once they have a meeting, I will fall asleep soon. Well, but now I can use the mobile phone to chat with you, so I shouldn't be sleepy."

"...Is it okay to play on the phone during the meeting?"

"It's okay, I'm a stealth." Yuan Yue replied, "No one told me when I was sleeping."

Zhu Qi understands, this is the treatment of the boss.

"By the way, I have some snacks for the meeting here. They look good. I'll bring you two." Yuan Yue sent a photo, which showed a few pink and tender macarons.Zhu Qi found that he could no longer imagine what kind of painting style these quack warlocks had in meetings. It was as weird and unpredictable as their professions.

Yuan Yue ate one after posting the photos, and highly recommended it to Zhu Qi.Zhu Qizao found out that this kid likes to eat sweets, so he couldn't help smiling.

Next, Yuan Yue tore a piece of paper and began to fold the paper cranes, and showed Zhu Qi several commonly used ones, having a great time playing.Although this guy has never been to school, he has not let go of his experience of desertion in class.

"Your senior brother doesn't talk about you?" Zhu Qi couldn't help asking.

There was no news over there for a while, Zhu Qi thought that his words had come true, Yuan Yue was caught by his brother and confiscated his mobile phone, and the other party's reply finally came late.

"Brother's method is useless."

"what?"

"It doesn't matter how long you talk or how many meetings you hold." Yuan Yue said, "They say it well, but they don't necessarily do it in practice. Some warlocks thought they were superior to ordinary people before, and used ordinary people to refine medicine and set up battles. , Harm countless people; those who know a little bit of tricks can amass money at will, deceive people, pretend to be tricks. No one will remember how many meetings were held and how many promises were made before."

Zhu Qi was shocked: "Yuan Xiaodai, is that you? Have you changed someone?!"

"I'm not staying..." Yuan Yue retorted several times, and finally said, "But my method is not good either."

"What is your solution?" Zhu Qi thought for a while, "You seem to have said... abolish their spells?"

"Well. Spells are closely related to people's souls. After abolishing the spells, most people will become demented and disabled." Yuan Yue seemed a little downcast, "So many people came to me this time because of the recent period There are too many people who have been abolished by me. The circle of warlocks is very small, and a person must have three or four senior brothers, seven or eight relatives, and a dozen or so friends... a long list, all come to seek justice."

Zhu Qi suddenly became nervous: "Then how are you? Can you handle it?"

"I said a long time ago that as long as I see people who use magic to do evil, I will never let them go." Yuan Yue said, "They come to me for justice, but for those who have been killed, who should they go to for justice? ?Many people don't even know who it is that hurt them."

Zhu Qi understood that Yuan Yue's depression was not because of his own troubles, but because of those innocent victims.

"I don't want to sit here anymore." Yuan Yue finally said, "I want to tell them, whoever refuses to accept me, just come to me directly. If anyone beats me, they will be the new stealth."

After sending this message, there was no movement from Yuan Yue for a long time.Zhu Qi guessed that he was really bored, and he didn't know that there would be a few unlucky ones hitting his muzzle.

Zhu Qi put away the phone.Before he knew it, the night was getting dark, he stretched himself, stretched his stiff shoulders, touched his shriveled pockets, and finally took out a crumpled twenty.

I have to find a job tomorrow.I wish to abandon thinking.

Yuan Yue will celebrate his birthday next month, so although he won't be able to give any expensive gifts, at least he won't be shabby either.And if you ask Yuan Yue, he will probably say "you come here." Of course Zhu Qi would not do such a stupid thing.

When the two of them were hanging out today, Zhu Qi discovered that Yuan Yue had a strong interest in technological products, probably because he hadn't had much contact with them before, and he was curious about everything he saw.Zhu Qi decided on the gift to give, and money became the only problem.

Now that two of Master Li's "businesses" have been terminated one after another, it is estimated that they will have to keep a low profile for a while.While Zhu Qi was thinking about when he would be able to take away the third one, he wondered in his heart whether there was an opportunity to take advantage of this matter.

Thinking about it, Zhu Qi closed his eyes in order to concentrate better.

On a cool summer night, Zhu Qi, who was thinking, was about to fall asleep.While half dreaming and half awake, a sharp cry pierced the night sky suddenly, and he shivered and opened his eyes.
