Star Architect

Chapter 31

A man with a hoodie put away the things on the table, stood up with a grim expression and walked out of the room.

Three days passed in a flash, and there was still no movement between him and the person he had worked so hard to find.

Either he was mistaken, which was almost impossible, or the woman was really difficult.

Thinking, he looked up at the cloudy sky that seemed to be covered by thick clouds and dust.

"Boom—crack!"

A few meters away, the silent, muddy crimson river water suddenly churned, roared angrily, and slammed into the rocks violently.

The man squinted towards the shore and saw a scorpion knocked over by the splashing water. He picked it up, snapped off the scorpion's tail smoothly and threw it into the water.

"Gah-ah, ah, ah."

The red black bird landed on the man's shoulder with a mocking sound.

"You're back."

"Ah~ pia da, da, ka la la."

The blackbird ate the scorpion thrown to it by the man with relish, and the man frowned under the shadow of the brim of his hat.

Now, he can't walk out of this dark area at will. Fortunately, according to the woman's ability, he can't find it here casually.

Speaking of dark areas—

A specific person who has disappeared and has strong resentment or hatred in himself, goes to the corner of the world, a corner of no man's land outside the Three Realms, because of the influence of resentment, will be in that corner where no one notices. Outside, a muddy space was born out of thin air.

This space is called the dark area.

At present, there is only this dark area on this big road, but for the dark area, there is also its sister area—the gray dilemma.

Some of the ghosts who are burdened with fear and resentment and cannot escape will be lost because they will gather outside the unknown corners of the world opposite the dark area, forming a specific area waiting for the opportunity to be transcended by advanced people.

This specific area was discovered by an ascetic monk hundreds of years ago, and he called it the "Grey Dilemma", and carried out the first transcendence, but in the next few hundred years, there will always be lost ghosts gathering in There.

Fifteen years ago, this man walked into his dark zone alone, suffering from a loneliness that seemed cursed.

He walked slowly to the water's edge, looked at the tumbling river with a cold face, and said a suppressed voice to the black bird beside him: "Go find her."

"Gah-"

Clap la la!

The blackbird flapped its wings suddenly, and three slightly curved feathers fell from the sky, showing a mocking smile.

On the other side, Luo Pingxuan was still half-joking with Qi Qiuran: "These days, your eyes seem to be fine."

"From your tone, it seems that you really hope there is a problem."

"I just want to put away the eye drops."

"Why do I feel like hitting someone when I hear this sentence?"

"Yeah, take a look at the bar and oven, I'm going to collect eye medicine."

"and many more."

"Ah?" Luo Pingxuan responded softly, turned around and saw Qi Qiuran packed up all the things the students needed, turned back calmly——

A red light spot appeared in her left eye again!

"I'm going to drop the eye drops, and the other things have already been paid." As he said, Qi Qiuran resisted the burning feeling of his eyes and went to the back room.

Luo Pingxuan looked at the back and sighed softly, and sent away the students who came to consume, and Qi Qiuran also came out of the room.

"Those little girls didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"As the owner of the shop, you have to protect my personal safety. This is the countless times that a little girl winked at me." Luo Pingxuan said jokingly.

"I'll make you ugly some other day."

"Oh, by the way, are your eyes okay?"

"Anyway, there are no people there, right? I don't need to be so nervous. I hope I won't be discovered and won't cause trouble to others."

"That's right. By the way, don't you want to go to the bookstore to have a look? It's just after two o'clock in the afternoon when the students are in class. There should be no one in the store for a while."

"Then I'll go out first."

"I'll drive the car to the intersection and wait for you later."

"it is good."

Qi Qiuran, who had just gone out for a few steps, suddenly felt uneasy, as if she was being stared at by several pairs of eyes; she turned her head suddenly and was blank for a few seconds with no expression on her face——

"Why are you?"/"Ah, 'Four Great Beauties' Qi Qiuran?"

Qi Qiuran talked with several junior high school classmates.

To be honest, Qi Qiuran knew that there was nothing outstanding about her when she was in junior high school, which is why some boys here gave her nicknames.

Unexpectedly, many years later, they would still say the same in front of the girls in the class.

"You guys still remember this nickname." Qi Qiuran turned around indifferently, took a step forward and turned back: "Are you here to see the teacher today?"

"Ah." The squad leader at the time replied a little embarrassed when asked by Qi Qiuran. "What are you doing now?"

"Open the shop." Qi Qiuran said still expressionlessly.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" At this time, another boy asked Qi Qiuran's left eye that was shining red.

"Hard to say."

"Hey, I heard that during the high school entrance examination, your ice and blood pupils were disabled?" Wu Tianyang, the class leader, asked this question immediately.

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!

"You know." Qi Qiuran secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, and replied with such a lukewarm sentence.

"That's what they all said."

"Yes." Qi Qiuran seemed to be talking to himself, turned his eyes to the people behind him and said, "There are no cars now, so you just go to the school."

"We were thinking about going there just now. Didn't there be a driver over there who drank too much? Look, the one who quarreled with the police seemed to be broken in love."

Only then did Qi Qiuran notice the driver shouting over there——

"No! I - I didn't drink too much! You guys, leave me alone! My wife can take care of me! You guys, who are you! For me, get out!"

"How long have you been waiting here?" A frosty voice came from Qi Qiuran's back.

"Fuck, I've been waiting for more than ten minutes. Hey, if the driver doesn't leave, let's go. When will we wait?" Ouyang Hai, the sports committee, said, making a gesture to move forward.

"Let's go," the girl named Du Qingxue asked kindly, "Qi Qiuran, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, come with us." Then she walked to the side of the road and gave Qi Qiuran a hand.

"Wait—" Qi Qiuran turned to the other side and stopped Du Xueqing—

"Get out of the way!"

The sound of traffic police shouting suddenly came;

scold--!

The sound of brakes suddenly sounded;

"You guys, don't—stop—"

The voice of stammering and cursing was suddenly close at hand!

A few seconds ago, the drunk driver suddenly yelled at the traffic policeman: "Don't stop me looking for my wife, my wife!"

The traffic policeman rushed to the side of the co-pilot and just opened the door——

call out!

The car has rushed out!

At this moment, Bai Xueqing just pulled Qi Qiuran to the side of the road; Ouyang Hai followed Du Xueqing onto the road; the car was very close to several people!

"Slow."

Qi Qiuran's ethereal voice came, and the car became extremely slow in her eyes, as if the moment of braking turned into eternity.

"Frozen."

Whoa!

A burst of biting cold air instantly surrounded the space with a radius of more than ten meters; the car made the sound of freezing from the front, and the frost suddenly spread to the entire body!

"stop."

The car stopped abruptly as if with a "ding", only half a step away from Qi Qiuran!

Everything seems to be back to normal.

A few junior high school students looked back with shock on their faces - the whole car body had been wrapped in ice!

"Di——! Didi!" The driver honked his horn angrily, yelling obscenities like "Why are you stopping me from driving", which suddenly woke up these classmates, and cast a strange look at Qi Qiuran——

Qi Qiuran's left eye, between life and death at this moment, finally relied on Qi Qiuran's powerful thoughts to quietly transform into an abyss of ice pupil, thus successfully freezing the car that was about to hit someone.

On the other hand, the Binghua Xuetong was deeply buried in the soul by Qi Qiuran, as if he was at ease, and said to Qi Qiuran in an ethereal voice like Qi Qiuran: "I feel it, that strange, red light the smell of blackbirds. Be careful."

"Really, I see." Qi Qiuran just lowered his head calmly and closed his eyes.

When the traffic police came over and looked at the people with a surprised face, Qi Qiuran had withdrawn the light of Binghua pupil, and said slowly——

"This driver, you'd better take him to your car, just as if you successfully prevented him from drinking and driving."

"Girl, are your eyes okay?" the traffic policeman said worriedly.

click -

"The door of the driver's seat has been opened. After you take him away, the ice will disappear. You know what to do with this car. If it wasn't for my eyesight problem, I'm afraid he was about to drive into an accident."

Speaking of this, Qi Qiuran smiled slightly, retracted Binghua pupils in the astonished eyes of everyone, and his eyes returned to normal.

"Aren't you guys going to see the teacher?" Qi Qiuran turned to the classmate who was staring at her in a daze, and asked slowly, "Or, do you want to know about Xuetong?"
