The Way of the Demon Cult Leader Chasing His Wife

Xia Zhitao hesitated for a while, put his five fingers together into a fist, and put them on his chest which was still rising and falling.

In the end, she sighed inaudibly, retracted her hand, and still didn't say anything.

The fall was a small episode, but fortunately both of them were fine, and the filming continued smoothly.

However, the director was worried that similar accidents would happen again, so he asked a costumer to help them cut off a large piece of tulle from the hem of the dress, so as to ensure that they would not be tripped by the tulle again.

The director seems to be more satisfied with Xia Zhitao than Crazy.He pulled Xia Zhitao and couldn't stop praising him, which made Xia Zhitao a little embarrassed.After all, her acting skills were unfamiliar and she made frequent mistakes, which dragged everyone down to reshoot several shots.

Finally finished all the shooting, Zhang Kuang went to the fitting room to change clothes.When the curtain was drawn, she snapped her fingers, and instantly changed back to the previous gown and black pants, while the shooting clothes were neatly folded on the table.

Zhang Kuang was bored, sat on the chair with his legs crossed for a while, thinking that it was almost time, then pushed aside the curtain and walked out.

What she didn't expect was that Xia Zhitao changed his clothes first, and was standing at the door as if waiting for her.

Zhang Kuang stepped forward and said, "Taotao, are you waiting for me?"

Xia Zhitao turned his head: "Ah, yes."

"What's the matter? Or do you want to talk to me?"

Zhang Kuang smiled, and said in a soft and gentle tone, "Anything is fine."

Xia Zhitao paused for a moment, raised his head, and said in a tone full of apology, "Is it really okay to fall just now?"

Zhang Kuang saw the other party's hand suddenly stretched out, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head meekly, let Xia Zhitao's five fingers rest on his cheek, then turned to rub the top of his head.

Zhang Kuang laughed, and said, "It's really all right."

She lowered her head and leaned close to Xia Zhitao's ear, and the loose hair gently swept over the ear, as if she was tickling it.

"Actually, I originally wanted to summon flower petals, but Lu Qian said that there is a camera and you can't use spiritual power, so I had to give up."

Zhang Kuang whispered to her, with an aggrieved tone.

"However, he didn't even take into account the key details like 'clothes are too long', this director is too careless and hasty!"

Xia Zhitao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and smiled: "It's fine."

Even though she knew it was useless, she checked repeatedly that Zhang Kuang hadn't bumped into anything before letting go of her hanging heart.

.

They packed up their things and left the building together.

Winter is approaching, and it gets dark earlier than usual.The cold wind carried a few withered yellow leaves, rustling across the side of his face.

Nancheng is different from the falling snow in the northern capital, and the climate is much milder.Even if winter comes, there will only be a slight drop in temperature, and there is very little snow in the urban area.

Zhang Kuang sent the two of them to the parking lot. She leaned beside the car and said, "Taotao."

Xia Zhitao put his hand on the car door and looked back at her.

"Are you free tonight?" Zhang Kuang pretended to be casual and asked calmly, "Do you want to have dinner together?"

night?Although I have an appointment, but I can postpone it a little... maybe.

Xia Zhitao withdrew his hand from the car door, wanted to unzip his bag, and took out his phone to cancel the appointment.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhisong on the other side heard this, and helped Xia Zhitao to respond: "Ah, sorry, can we have dinner together next time?"

He explained to Zhang Kuang: "Old sister, she has an appointment tonight, and she has an appointment to chat with the witnesses of the case."

What Xia Zhitao wanted to say choked in his throat, and his hands were still on the handbag, neither up nor down, so he had to agree with Xia Zhisong and nodded.

Zhang Kuang was inevitably a little disappointed, but she still smiled brightly at Xia Zhitao, waved her hand, and said lightly, "Then see you later."

With a "click", as the door closed, the outside sound was also isolated.

Xia Zhitao looked out through the car window. The man seemed to be talking to her younger brother. His figure was getting farther and farther away, as if separated by thousands of miles of distant mountains and thousands of miles of deep sea.

"Sister, shall we go?"

It wasn't until Xia Zhisong called him that Xia Zhitao came back to his senses and replied, "Well, let's drive."

.

The car was driving slowly on the trail.

"...500 ahead turn right and your destination is on the left."

Xia Zhisong drove past along the navigation, and the two looked at a series of spooky old buildings, as well as a barren wasteland overgrown with weeds and piled up with garbage, and they suddenly doubted life.

"The law and order here in the old city has not been very good," Xia Zhisong held the steering wheel, a little worried, "Old sister, are you sure it's here?"

Xia Zhitao looked around hesitantly, and said, "What Qi Zidong said is indeed the correct address."

The two got out of the car, and the roar of the car attracted several residents.Those people walked out of the building area and looked at the two siblings.That gaze licked from the beginning to the end, the eyes were dark and unclear, which made people feel hairy.

Xia Zhisong thought of something and felt the need to mention it to his elder sister: "This Qi Zidong has always been very strange. He was unwilling to cooperate no matter what before, and he couldn't even make a phone call."

Xia Zhitao was a little surprised: "Why?"

"I don't know either." Xia Zhisong shook his head and continued, "But old lady, Qi Zidong answered the phone as soon as you called, and agreed to meet up readily. It's just that the place to meet is too remote."

After hearing what his brother said, Xia Zhitao looked at the address on the memo, as if he had made up his mind: "Let's go in."

Xia Zhisong nodded, he protected his sister by his side, and the two of them stepped on the uneven ground and gradually walked into the old building area.

There were many homeless people lying on the side of the road, and an old man with a pale beard leaned against a pile of cloth bags, and suddenly shouted drunkenly:

"Ahahahaha, welcome, hicc—"

“Welcome to Old Town!”

.

Xia Zhisong has been a criminal policeman for several years, and several murders he handled happened in this old city, so he didn't tell her elder sister to scare her.

This time he didn't bring a pistol, and he was a little flustered.

——It would be great if the leader was here.

"Sister, I'm a bit uncertain," Xia Zhisong pointed to his mobile phone, and whispered, "Why don't you call Zhang Kuang?"

Xia Zhitao didn't hesitate, and directly rejected his suggestion: "We can't bother her with everything, let's see the situation first."

Xia Zhisong: Sister QAQ!In fact, I am very unreliable, and I am a little panicked now!

The further you walked into the old city, although the people you saw gradually increased, the atmosphere became more and more strange.There was a strong smell of alcohol in the air, which made people feel a little headache.

The ground has not been cleaned, there is a lot of plastic garbage scattered on the street corners, and the public trash bins set up are already full, but no one comes to clean them up.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the building at the address.Although it looks a bit dilapidated, it is no problem to live in.

The two were about to go upstairs when they were suddenly stopped.

"Xia Zhitao."

The lights dimmed slightly, and they were pulled into the night to assimilate with it.Someone stood not far away, facing the two of them, and called out the name.

The man was dressed in black, and he was walking in the howling wind. When the wind blew up, his clothes billowed like black clouds, like thousands of troops and horses coming in avalanche.

"Xia Zhitao," she repeated, passing the name in her mouth, with a hint of laughter in her voice, and said meaningfully:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xia Zhitao followed the voice and saw the man walking towards him, his face became clearer as the distance shortened.

The man's eyes were covered with a finger-length black cloth, which tightly covered most of his face, making his complexion paler.

Xia Zhitao settled down, and tentatively said, "Hello, have we met before?"

The man smiled very lightly, his voice was like thin clouds, but it was inexplicably deserted in this noisy old city.

She said: "I am Qi Zidong."

——Qi Zidong?

Since he is a "witness" and naturally behaves like a blind person, why is he blindfolded with a black cloth?What does the phrase "long time no see" mean?

Just as she was thinking, Qi Zidong had already arrived beside the two of them.She looked at the guarded faces of the two of them, but she didn't care.

She leaned over slightly, stretched out her hand and made a "please" gesture, and said to Xia Zhitao, "Can we chat in private?"

Her intentions were obvious, she only wanted to talk to Xia Zhitao alone.

Xia Zhisong whispered: "Don't go, this person is too strange."

Xia Zhitao rubbed the back of Xia Zhisong's hand with something in his hands, and said, "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go."

——What she was holding was a small electric shock rod.

"Then I'll wait for you here," Xia Zhisong said, "I'll rush in if you haven't come out in 10 minutes."

Qi Zidong smiled slightly and said, "Let's go."

Xia Zhitao followed him, and the two entered a nearby tavern.

The music in the tavern was loud, Xia Zhitao was led by Qi Zidong, passed through the dancing crowd, passed the dazzling lights, and finally came to a small quiet room.

Xia Zhitao watched his surroundings vigilantly, and tightly clenched the electric shock baton in his hand.Qi Zidong closed the door and sat down with his hands folded.

She took out a booklet from nowhere, threw it in front of Xia Zhitao, and said, "A gift for meeting you."

——It is "Handan Travel Notes".

However, compared to the published thick dozen volumes, this one is only a thin volume, like a condensed edition.

Xia Zhitao didn't sit down, nor did he touch the booklet.She put her hands on the table, and the question was straightforward:

"You wrote "Handan Travel Notes"?"

Qi Zidong nodded, then shook his head: "It's true that I wrote it right, but if it's accurate——"

Despite being separated by a layer of black cloth, Xia Zhitao had the illusion of being "watched".

"You asked me to write it."

.

"What do you mean?"

"It means literally," Qi Zidong shrugged, and suddenly sighed: "Ah, sorry, I forgot that you don't know me yet."

She slowly stretched her hand behind her head, and took off the black cloth that blindfolded her eyes.

"We're meeting for the first time, let me introduce myself."

Those eyes are not the usual black, but extremely light gray, like the thin mist gradually gathering on the wasteland, blurred and unreal.

"I am Qi Zidong. I was born as the White Deer to Resist Evil, and I am ranked fifth among the Twelve Priests. I am in charge of the 'historian'."

The blindfolded black cloth fell from her pale palms and hung on the table.Qi Zidong's eyes were half closed, and his voice was long and distant:

"——The rise and fall of the book world, the rise and fall of the world, and the change of all things."
