Chapter 14 Rainy Night, The Kindness of the Aluminum Bento Box.
"Oh dear! Xiao Qi, how did you get so soaked?" Wang Fang, who was busy in the kitchen, saw Lin Qiye drenched and quickly took a towel to wipe his hair.
"It's raining quite heavily outside, and I didn't bring an umbrella today."
"Liu Lang? What are you doing here? You..." Lin Qiye was about to say, "Didn't you join the Night Watch?", but he swallowed his words when he remembered that his aunt was here.
"I took a day off to go home, can't I stop by your place for a bit?" Liu Lang was still sitting on Lin Qiye's sofa, playing on his phone, lounging like Ge You.
He was very comfortable, just like he was at home.
"Alright, hurry up and wipe yourself dry, or you'll catch a cold! Langlang is a guest, how can you talk to him like that!" Wang Fang said, feigning anger.
Lin Qiye chuckled and scratched his head, offering no rebuttal.
"Also, your teacher just came by. I told him to wait in your room," Wang Fang instructed.
"Teacher?" Lin Qiye looked at Liu Lang with a puzzled expression.
What teacher?
He's only been in class for a few days, he doesn't even know all the teachers yet, okay?
"Yes, he said he's your No. 2 Middle School's PE teacher and needs to see you. He knows Langlang too. Get ready and go see him quickly, don't keep him waiting."
A PE teacher? He was even more confused, looking at Liu Lang with a puzzled expression, as if trying to find the answer in his eyes.
He hasn't had a single PE class in the few days he's been here.
Liu Lang said with a smile, "Teacher Zhao has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Aren't you going in to see her?"
Teacher Zhao?
Could it be...
Is it the "Zhao Kongcheng" engraved on the emblem?
Connecting Zhao Kongcheng with the uncle who kidnapped him yesterday and booked a "dynamic and passionate themed king-size bed room," Lin Qiye seemed to have figured something out.
“Okay, Auntie, I understand.” Li Qiye nodded.
"I have one more dish that's almost ready. Remember to ask them to stay for a meal before they leave."
After Wang Fang went into the kitchen, Lin Qiye hurriedly opened the door and went into his room.
Sure enough, I saw that familiar middle-aged man.
Liu Lang couldn't hear what was being discussed inside, but at this moment... the mechanical voice that rang in his mind again made him fall silent.
Yes, it was silence, not surprise.
[Congratulations, host! The new check-in location has been updated!]
[Please sign in during the famous scene where Zhao Kongcheng faces death!]
Upon hearing this voice, Liu Lang fell silent. "Zhao Kongcheng, that famous scene of his dying moments?"
Although he had already guessed something when Zhao Kongcheng found Lin Qiye's house...
However, when the check-in system listed this matter in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Will Zhao Kongcheng still die?
"The check-in location refresh of this check-in system is indeed not random!" Liu Lang pondered.
Although the events and locations were random, it was clear that... all three check-in locations were related to Lin Qiye.
Soon, Zhao Kongcheng came out carrying a black umbrella.
He glanced at Liu Lang, said nothing, and silently left.
Lin Qiye stood by the window of his room, silently watching Zhao Kongcheng leave.
Lin Qiye walked out of the room, looked at Liu Lang who was comfortably lying on his sofa, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Aren't you going with him?"
"Why, you don't welcome me?"
“No, you’re very welcome.” Lin Qiye shook his head. “But…didn’t you join them?”
"Didn't you come with him to persuade me to join the Night Watch?" Lin Qiye asked, looking confused.
Liu Lang nodded, then shook his head. "It's true that I joined them, but I didn't come with him to persuade you to join the Night's Watch."
If I really wanted to force you to join the Night's Watch, I probably would have dragged you along that very night. Not now.
"I haven't had Aunt Yang's cooking in so long, I wanted to try it..." Liu Lang sighed, "What a pity, we can't have this meal."
"why?"
"Something came up, so we can't have this meal." Liu Lang said nothing more.
He also wanted to see if he could save Zhao Kongcheng this time...
"Aunt Yang, my dad has something urgent to attend to and wants me to go home early... I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner today," Liu Lang said regretfully.
"Oh? Is that so..." Wang Fang said with a regretful look, "I've made so many dishes this time, and they're almost done. It's a bit of a shame for you to go back now..."
"How about this, I'll serve you some of everything, you can take it home and eat it."
"Aunt Yang, there's really no need to go to so much trouble."
In the end, Liu Lang couldn't resist Wang Fang's insistence, so he grabbed an aluminum lunchbox, opened the door, and went out.
It drifted away...
"Old Zhao, what are you doing here?" Liu Lang called out to Zhao Kongcheng, who was carrying a briefcase and speeding through the rain in a small alley near Lin Qiye's house.
Lei Yingdian stood next to Liu Lang, holding an aluminum lunchbox in both hands, with a serious expression on his face.
Neither of them brought umbrellas; Liu Lang and Lei Yingdian were using the same black umbrellas as Zhao Kongcheng.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Kongcheng asked in shock. "Liu Lang, weren't you having dinner at Aunt Lin Qiye's house? What are you doing here?"
It was discovered that the masked man's current destination was either an old residential area or the city center. Due to the urgency of the situation, most people were relocated to the city center.
He had to get the residents of the old town area evacuated as soon as possible; this was simply not a place for the two of them to stay.
However, he didn't get a reply from Liu Lang.
Suddenly, a nauseating stench, seemingly capable of penetrating the soul, assaulted them without warning.
The smell was like the stench emanating from countless rotting corpses piled together, so strong that it was almost impossible to breathe.
He didn't instinctively cover his mouth and nose, but instead cautiously observed his surroundings.
The Ghost-Faced King has arrived.
Finally, his gaze fell on the manhole cover not far away.
"Liu Lang, quickly take your master and leave this place! The farther the better!"
It's getting closer and closer...
"Report, Watcher Zhao Kongcheng has discovered the Ghost-Faced King in the old residential area..."
As he spoke, he pressed a button on the briefcase.
Snapped--!
The suitcase popped open, revealing three neat and brand-new notice boards inside.
As soon as Zhao Kongcheng put up one notice board, he discovered that the other two notice boards had already been put up.
Liu Lang and Lei Yingdian each held a sign, which was just right.
One is not too much and the other is not too little.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Zhao Kongcheng asked seriously. "Hurry up and leave, or when Ghost Face King comes... I won't have time to protect you."
“Old Zhao, we’re both from the Zhan Realm, one possessing the Divine Ruins and the other the Forbidden Ruins… You’re just an ordinary person, how can you possibly deal with the Ghost-Faced King? Even with the [Boundless Void Domain], how long can you hold out?” Liu Lang had already prepared his reasons; he couldn’t possibly leave now.
"Besides, my home is behind here... My home is right here, I grew up here, even though he didn't give me fatherly love."
But he is still my father. Liu Lang's gaze fell on a small bungalow not far away.
“You…” Zhao Kongcheng choked up. He thought of Liu Lang’s background and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
He wanted to protect that child's home and didn't want to involve others, but Liu Lang's home was right behind him.
"Besides, Aunt Yang gave me an aluminum lunchbox. How could I forget such a kindness?"
