At that time, the demon hadn't grown up yet.

By the time she saw Yan Jinlan's face hidden under the mask, Qiao Zhen had already forgotten to pull out the dagger hidden in her sleeve, even though Yan Jinlan had already passed out from the pain at this time.

Qiao Zhen actually had a younger brother before crossing over, but that younger brother died in a car accident trying to save him when he was a teenager. In the following years, Qiao Zhen has been living in the shadow of that car accident. Nightmares are all about that bloody face, crying for him to give his life back.The psychological doctor advised him that the reason why he had frequent nightmares was not because there were ghosts and gods in this world, but because of his own inner guilt. He subconsciously felt that he was sorry for his brother.

The psychiatrist was right, he was indeed guilty, so now that he clearly knew that the child who passed out was not his younger brother, his heart softened, and he couldn't help it.

After a long time, Qiao Zhen sighed helplessly, picked up the child who was only in his teens, and put him on the bed.He was sitting by the bed, staring at the face in front of him without blinking.

Yan Jinlan, who was unconscious, seemed to still feel uncomfortable, frowning slightly, which was exactly the same as his younger brother under certain circumstances.

For so many years, he thought that his heart was as dead as water, and he would never make any more waves. However, it was not until he saw this face that he realized that he had overestimated himself. The scene of the car accident still remained in his heart.

Qiao Zhen just looked at Yan Jinlan like this until drowsiness hit him. He tilted his body and lay on the bed with his upper body. The dagger also fell from his sleeve and fell to the ground with a dull sound. He fell asleep. Qiao Zhen didn't notice that the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and those sharp eyes fell on Qiao Zhen like frost.

After a while, Yan Jinlan struggled to get up from the bed, and picked up the dagger that fell on the ground.

Qiao Zhen had a nightmare again. He dreamed that his grown-up brother was holding a fruit knife to his neck, shouting with a ferocious expression to kill him and let him die, but for some reason , the younger brother's appearance turned into Yan Jinlan wearing a golden mask again.

The dream was very long, and it was basically a scene of you chasing me and hiding. In the end, when the fruit knife stabbed at him, Qiao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes.

At this time, it was already dawn outside, and the sun shone through the windows, making the whole room extraordinarily bright.

He rubbed his sore neck, and felt a burst of pain as soon as his palm touched his neck, and then touched it with his hand, and there was indeed a wound, his heart froze, and he immediately looked up on the bed.

There was no such wound on his neck yesterday, and there were only two people in this room. It is conceivable who made this wound for him while he was asleep. No wonder he felt that even in his dreams, Someone put a knife on his neck, dare to dream or a projection of reality.

Sure enough, the devil is the devil, and the root of the devil has been planted in Yan Jinlan's heart since he was a child. He shouldn't have softened his heart last night.

Yan Jinlan didn't know when she woke up, but she was still lying on the bed without moving, her hand was still tightly holding the dagger that belonged to him, when she stared at him, her dark eyes were filled with Be on guard, which made Qiao Zhen think of a cub that lost its parents and was helpless. It looked so pitiful.

Yan Jinlan, who is now more than ten years old, has a very thin body and looks much taller than her peers. The hand holding the dagger seems to have a little skin wrapped around the bones, which makes that pitiful feeling It has increased a lot.

Originally, he wanted to snatch the dagger and kill the devil with one blow, but when he saw that face, he was unprincipled and dismissed it again.

However, when he thought of the devil trying to kill him while he was asleep, he couldn't bear it at all.

"You want to kill me? How can such a little force be enough? You should have used a little more force last night, so that I won't open my eyes today."

After all, he was the leader of martial arts. When Qiao Zhen said these words, his aura was not weak at all. Yan Jinlan, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be frightened by him, and her beautiful phoenix eyes almost widened.

At the moment when Yan Jinlan was stunned, he stretched out his hand quickly, snatched the dagger back, and compared it to Yan Jinlan's slender neck.Although he no longer has martial arts, his speed is not slow.

He thought that this little devil would beg for mercy, and might even negotiate with him. After all, Yan Jinlan also had a devil father, and if he killed Yan Jinlan, he would not be able to escape. However, Yan Jinlan didn't say anything. He pursed his lips stubbornly and said nothing, but soon, two lines of teardrops rolled out of his eyes unexpectedly, and the expression of the little devil showed a bit of forbearance.

Qiao Zhen, who was only scaring Yan Jinlan at first, suddenly withdrew her hand as if scalded by the teardrops.

Qiao Zhen heard the evaluation of Yan Jinlan from the world when he first passed through: that is a monster who has no emotions and desires, but only knows how to kill.

But at this moment, the child who was called a "monster" by the world was crying because of fear.

Qiao Zhen couldn't help thinking, maybe, as a child, Yan Jinlan hadn't become that monster without emotions, and in his mind, there might still be some kindness.

Seeing that he withdrew his hand, Yan Jinlan's tears suddenly became more violent, and after a while, a small piece of the sheet under the bed was wet.

Qiao Zhen panicked immediately. He really had no experience in dealing with children, not to mention that he was only a few years older than Yan Jinlan.

He put the dagger into his sleeve, then tore off a small piece of the bed curtain, and frantically wiped the little guy's tears. When he stretched out his hand, Yan Jinlan seemed to be a little scared, and shrank back, baring his teeth as he retreated. .

"Don't be afraid, I didn't intend to kill you in the first place!" At least after seeing Yan Jinlan's face, he had given up the idea of ​​killing Yan Jinlan.

At this moment, seeing this timid little guy, Qiao Zhen felt even more that killing Yan Jinlan might not be the only way to eliminate harm for the people. He had always believed that childhood education was really important, and maybe he could take this Straighten a small tree that has grown crookedly. In this case, the extremely tragic battle in the future may be avoided.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen felt a little excited. He seemed to have seen his future self, and once again became the savior of the entire martial arts world.

He grabbed the little guy who kept shrinking back and wiped away his tears.

Since he wanted to lead the little devil to the right path, he had to know what Yan Jinlan was thinking. For example, when Yan Jinlan got the scar on his neck, did he have murderous intentions?

He was about to pull the little guy closer, when he heard the little guy gasp, and a few tiny beads of sweat appeared on his white forehead.

Qiao Zhen stopped suddenly, and after a while, he slowly rolled up Yan Jinlan's sleeves.

This time, the person who took the air-conditioning directly became him.
