Nocturnal

Qin Mochi looked around and didn't feel any difference.

Qingning told him, "Southeast, in that alley."

Outside the restaurant is a tree-lined road, connected to several alleys.The night has already fallen, and the light from the street lamps shines through the dense shadows of the plane trees, giving the early summer night a touch of gentle warmth.There are not many vehicles on this road, pedestrians walking in twos and threes on the sidewalk to enjoy the cool air, the night wind blows, and there are faint laughter.

It's hard for Qin Mochi to imagine that such a peaceful scenery also hides such a huge danger.

Qing Ning said again: "He has followed."

Qin Mochi couldn't help but get nervous, "If I want to see him, can I release my consciousness...?"

"If your spiritual sense is released, your cultivation base is not enough, and the opponent will see through it soon." Qingning said: "If he follows your spiritual sense and attacks you in turn, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Qin Mochi, "...I thought I was pretty good."

"Of course Ah Li is very good. As for you," Qing Ning snorted, drawing out her tone old-fashionedly, "You still have to practice hard, kid."

Qin Mochi, "..."

Qin Mochi crossed the road with it in his arms, looking left and right unconsciously.He didn't see who was more suspicious, but there was an invisible coercion in the air inexplicably, which made him feel chest tightness involuntarily.He also felt this familiar feeling when he confronted the "Qiankun Realm" in the corridor of the "Special Affairs Section" that day.

Qin Mochi was so nervous that the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Although he knew that after Qing Ning's guidance, he should be stronger than before, but the shadow of being captured would not dissipate so easily.

Qin Mochi walked towards the parking lot vigilantly, and asked Qing Ning without words, "Tian Qing said that the man could make him pretend to be Zhao Qing, does Master think it will work? Bazi or something, can it be so easily caught?" Coax it over?"

Qing Ning got out of his arms, with an unexpectedly calm expression, "Zhao Qing's soul is on it, and it can be regarded as Zhao Qing's clone, maybe it is possible. As far as the current situation is concerned, even if it is not possible, this There should be no other way for people. After all, Zhao Qing is the only person in the Zhao family who is completely negative."

"These rules are also quite strange," Qin Mochi murmured, "Why do you have to have a full horoscope? What's so special about it?"

"Perhaps," Qing Ning said thoughtfully, "the things in the box are extremely masculine, and no one can bear it except the pure yin body with all yin characters."

Qin Mochi was at a loss when he heard it, and when he was about to ask carefully, he felt something roaring from behind and slammed into the barrier.Qin Mochi's chest trembled, his throat was sweet and fishy, ​​and a mouthful of blood almost spewed out.Qingning got out of his arms and flew up heavily.Qin Mochi felt a familiar wave emanating from Qingning's body, gently bypassing him, and suddenly swinging outward along the edge of the barrier.

It was a clear summer night a few minutes ago, but now it seems to have passed into late autumn suddenly. The leaves are swept up by the strong wind, spinning and drifting in the dark night, and the surrounding temperature suddenly drops a lot.Qin Mochi even had an illusion, as if a giant beast was crouching in front of them, with its bloody mouth wide open, trying to swallow them into its belly.

The dense night, which seemed to be indissoluble, slowly solidified under Qin Mochi's surprised gaze, turning into an invisible behemoth.The invisible coercion made Qin Mochi breathless. It was an instinctive fear rooted in the nature of wild beasts for creatures stronger than himself.

The barrier that was slightly shaken by the violent impact just now was quickly repaired by Qing Ning.At the same time, he attacked Qin Mochi moderately in his consciousness, "Are you crazy about it?!"

The term "fat nympho" was learned from Zhang Xiaomi that day in the store.

Qin Mochi's whole body twitched in pain, and after recovering, he felt scared again.Even if this person is a hundred times stronger than him, how could he retreat when the two armies confront each other?Taking a step back at this time, isn't that courting death?Turn around and take myself away again, and stick a yuan-absorbing talisman...

If you don't want to be sucked into a mummy, you have to resist!

Qin Mochi took a deep breath, forced out the real essence in his dantian, and condensed it into a sharp cone shape.The sharp cone couldn't help trembling in front of him, as if sensing the determination and fear in his heart, mixed with a trace of inexplicable excitement, it trembled twice, and shot towards the direction of the shadow.

There was a loud bang, which was obviously just a puff of smoke, but it sounded like a wall had been smashed.The black shadow spread out in all directions, and then slowly gathered together, letting out a piercing long hiss in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Mochi was dizzy and dizzy from the stimulation of the sound waves, and felt disgusted in his chest.

The wind was stronger, swirling the scattered black smoke, constantly swirling around them.Qin Mochi felt that he was trapped in the eye of a tornado. Except for the ground under his feet and the sky above his head, the surroundings were surrounded by hurricanes that could tear people apart. As if they were about to crush them, they spun and gradually tightened inward. .And the black shadow that was scattered and condensed by him was hiding behind the hurricane, waiting for an opportunity to move.

From the corner of Qin Mochi's eyes, he saw Qingning's body emitting a faint yellow light, while the barrier around them slowly opened outward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was actually a tug-of-war with the surrounding hurricane.

Qin Mochi quickly caught a branch from the whirling wind by his side, and the spinning true essence in the inner mansion seemed to have finally found a blast hole, and shot out along the branch in his hand, instantly piercing through the thick wind curtain , crashed straight into Sombra's chest.

There seemed to be a muffled thunder in mid-air, and the black shadow let out a shrill neigh, and was scattered by Qin Mochi again.

The hurricane swirling around them quickly dispersed, and branches, beverage cans, packaging bags and other sundries rolled up from nowhere were scattered all over the place.

Qin Mochi panted heavily, holding the broken branch tightly in his hands, looking around vigilantly.Qing Ning flew back with drooping fur all over her body, nestled listlessly on his shoulder.A pair of small bean-like eyes are half-opened and half-closed, as if they will fall asleep standing up in a second.

The street lights came back on, and a dog barked in the distance.

Qingning rubbed Qin Mochi's cheek wearily, "It's gone."

Qin Mochi couldn't hold on anymore, he sat down on the ground, his whole body was exhausted, "It's not easy to be a monster, everyone wants to come and eat Tang Monk's meat...Damn it."

Qing Ning shook her wings, and said in a rare serious manner, "Little Martial Nephew, you will be fine, you will become a big monster, and no one can bully you anymore. Well, when my injury heals, I can also protect you." you."

Qin Mochi smiled wryly, "There are mountains beyond mountains, there are people beyond people, well, there are monsters beyond monsters. Who can guarantee that they will become number one in the world?"

Qingning remained silent.

Qin Mochi patted its head, he now knew what conditions he was going to ask Zhao Qing.

The sound of dogs barking was coming towards them, and it was getting closer and closer. Qin Mochi suddenly realized, "It can't be a walnut, right? Why did it come here?" He didn't have any strength at all right now, and he was still cross-legged on the sidewalk sit on.Qingning was also half dead from exhaustion, so she just nestled into his arms, not curious about anything anymore.

"By the way, that broken tree branch," Qing Ning muttered in his sea of ​​consciousness, "find yourself a decent weapon. You have to wait until the critical moment, and pick up a broken tree branch to exert its power... You should think of yourself as a weapon A juggler?"

Qin Mochi, "...If you don't discriminate against broken branches, broken branches have dignity, okay?"

Qing Ning scoffed at his words.

Qin Mochi resentfully threw the broken branch in his hand aside.When he looked up, the black figure had briskly jumped over the two-foot-high bushes on the side of the street and rushed towards him.Qing Ning nestled in his arms, already a little drowsy from sleep, but was startled by the sudden appearance of the vicious dog, fluttered out of Qin Mochi's arms with flapping wings, and landed crookedly on the railing outside the green belt , Huarong screamed palely, "What?!"

Qin Mochi was hit by the walnut and almost fell to the ground, he hugged the walnut frantically, and let it bark and take a bath with his saliva.

Qing Ning became jealous.

"So it's this stupid dog, why is it still alive? Yo, yo, I want to become a monster too... Go away!" Qing Ning flapped her wings and patted Walnut's nose to prevent him from licking her fur.

Qin Mochi hugged Walnut and smoothed the hair on its neck, still very happy in his heart, "Why are you here?"

Walnut stared at Qingning who had jumped onto his shoulder, and whimpered.

Qingning sneered, "This stupid dog can't take shape yet."

Qin Mochi was helpless, "Little Master, Walnut is not yet 20 years old." It must be a long time before he becomes a demon or transforms into a shape.

Qing Ning was disturbed by this stupid dog, and was afraid that it would come to lick her, so she jumped on Qin Mochi's head, looked around and said, "The boy from the Li family is running this way. How did he know we are here? ?”

Qin Mochi let the walnut lie on his lap and rested against it for a while, "Brother Li knows that I'm here with you to see Zhao Qing, so he probably doesn't feel at ease, so come and have a look."

Qing Ning snorted lightly, "Hmph, it's so late, the day lily is cold."

Qin Mochi's heart skipped a beat, he knew Li Yedu's temperament, since he was going to come, he must have come out early, he wouldn't arrive so late, what happened to him, right?

Qin Mochi pinched Walnut's hairy ears, "Did you guys go out early?"

Walnut stared at him with glazed eyes, and whimpered.

Qin Mochi didn't know what it was talking about, and was about to ask Qing Ning about the translation, when he heard Qing Ning say, "Oh, you still asked what it does, and the kid from the Li family is here too. Just ask him directly!"

Qin Mochi looked up, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure running towards him from a distance.

The mess of the place and Qin Mochi, who was slumped on the sidewalk, startled Li Yedu.He ran over quickly, squatted on the ground and checked Qin Mochi up and down, "Just exhausted? No injury? Are you sure?"

"It's okay." Qin Mochi leaned into his arms lazily, "I'm just tired."

Li Yedu froze for a moment.

Qing Ning snorted, and raised her wings to cover her face in grief, "In broad daylight...uh, even though it's dark...it's really immoral!"

Qin Mochi laughed loudly.

Li Yedu smiled, and when he put his arms around Qin Mochi, he adjusted his posture so that he could lean more comfortably.

"It's outrageous!" Qing Ning peeked over the wings, saw the two people still leaning together, and said angrily, "The world is getting worse, people's hearts are not old. A woman walks on the street, even her legs are exposed! A man Also cuddling and hugging on the street...how decent!"

Qin Mochi's stomach hurts from laughing.

Li Yedu hugged him indulgently, as if no matter what he wanted to do, he would support him unconditionally.

"It's so blinding." Qing Ning finally had the opportunity to use this modern slang that he had just learned, and at the same time deeply realized that the wisdom of modern people should not be underestimated. Look at how well this sentence describes the feeling of heartache !

Walnut licked Qin Mochi's chin, and put his head into his embrace coquettishly.

Qing Ning spurned, "Stupid dogs are so inappropriate!"

Qin Mochi sighed and took Li Yedu's hand to rub his stomach, "Little Master, can you take a break for a while?" Although it said that the cross talk was good, laughing all the time was not conducive to the recovery of the wounded.

Qing Ning snorted, stopped talking, and just stared at Li Yedu dissatisfied with her round eyes.

Li Yedu rubbed Walnut's dog's head and said with a little apology: "We both went out quite early, and encountered a little trouble on the way. There was a conflict between the two monster clans. One of them didn't have a 'settlement certificate', and the other Pushing and shoving in front of me, I had no choice but to send it to the 'Special Affairs Section' and hand it over to the logistics staff on duty, so..."

Qin Mochi was puzzled, "Is it a coincidence?"

Li Yedu frowned slightly, "No one knows that I came out at night to find you. The second senior brother didn't even know." When he went out, Na Kun brought the steward of "Yipintang" and two buddies to check the inventory in the warehouse. His mind was full of those bottles and jars in his library, and he didn't even hear him say goodbye to him standing at the door of the warehouse.

That being said, Qin Mochi still felt that it was not that simple.Two demon tribes quarreled on the road he passed by, and one of them was a black household, so he had to be turned over to the "Special Affairs Section"... This scene sounds too deliberate, is it really just a coincidence?

"Don't think about it," Li Yedu tried to help him up, "Go home first."

"We have to wait." Qin Mochi stood up shaking his legs, took out his mobile phone and called Qu Zhi, and reported how he was attacked.

Qu Zhi said: To protect the scene, the technical personnel for evidence collection will go there immediately.

An hour later, Qin Mochi was wrapped in a bath towel, sitting comfortably on the sofa in his living room, waiting for Li Yedu to make tea for him.Qing Ning also just took a shower, and her fur was still steamed with damp, but her energy was much better.Walnut lay beside Qin Mochi's legs, wagging his tail lazily.

Qin Mochi picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhao Qing: I agree with your proposal, but I don't want the Zhao family's shares, I want a elixir that can heal the damage of the true essence.

A few minutes later, Zhao Qing's text message replied: I will discuss with him and get back to you when I have news.

Qin Mochi deleted the two text messages, and happily threw the phone aside.He knew that Zhao Qing would pay special attention to the conditions he proposed, because in this matter, the person who was least anxious was Qin Mochi.

Qing Ning didn't know why he was in such a good mood suddenly, so she pecked his ear with her pointed mouth in doubt.

Qin Mochi hugged it into his arms with a smile, and decided not to tell it about it in advance.

Walnut curiously leaned over to smell Qingning, who was disgusted by Qingning and slapped away with his big wings, "Go away! Stupid dog!"

Qin Mochi stroked Walnut's head soothingly.Walnut was not angry at being rejected, but rested his chin on Qin Mochi's lap, staring at the little yellow bird that was bouncing in his arms curiously with amber-like clear eyes.

"Let's talk about something serious now." Qingning looked at Qin Mochi seriously, "I think it's time to find you a suitable weapon."

Qin Mochi guessed what it was going to say.

Sure enough, Qing Ning said with disgust: "Although for Da Neng, falling leaves and flying flowers can hurt people. But you obviously haven't reached that level. So..." It looked at its little nephew sincerely, " You can’t keep kidding yourself like, uh, pretending to be superior or something. It’s just stupid.”

Qin Mochi, "...'

Qing Ning added, "Really."
