Your ability is strong, it's mine now

Chapter 72 People in this world are too glass-hearted

In the 90th year of the new calendar, at the beginning of February.

York, a coffee shop on the corner.

Xu Cheng sat on the seat near the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

Opposite him is a girl with short hair, about 25 years old, with beautiful features and big and bright eyes.

Who would have thought that the girl in front of her who gave people a refreshing feeling was Wu Ruoying who had been acting crazy in the fraternity for two years.

It has been half a month since she escaped from the fraternity, and Wu Ruoying was sent home by Chu Mo to reunite with her parents.

Today she invited Xu Cheng out to express her gratitude in person.

The two ate lunch and sat in a nearby coffee shop until now, and they have talked about all the topics they can talk about.

Xu Cheng used the gesture of drinking coffee to cover up the embarrassment of being silent. Wu Ruoying, who was opposite her, lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

boom! boom! boom!
A few gunshots suddenly attracted the attention of the two.

It turned out that a bank across the street had been robbed, and the security guard and the robber were shooting passionately.

This is already a daily routine for people in the lower city of York City. Not only passers-by are calm, but even the guests in the coffee shop are watching with great interest.

This reminded Xu Cheng of some countries where drug traffickers were more powerful than the government before traveling, and the people were so simple.

When the robber on the opposite side was beaten away by the security guards, Xu Cheng took the opportunity to say to Wu Ruoying, "I'll take you home."

Wu Ruoying did not refuse, but nodded; "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Her home was in the lower city, and she arrived within a short distance. Xu Cheng took her downstairs and said goodbye to her.

Wu Ruoying looked at Xu Cheng's leaving back, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes.

She had already gotten the answer she wanted from Xu Cheng's attitude.

On the other side, Xu Cheng did not go home after leaving, but went to a certain place.

He also vaguely sensed Wu Ruoying's thoughts, so today he kept polite and distanced himself.

It's not the experience of discriminating against her, but Xu Cheng's current situation, not to mention dangerous, at least dangerous.

Blasphemers may make a comeback, after all, Wang Teng is not dead.

Then there was Zhao Wei. Xu Cheng did a brief investigation afterward. There were several congressmen and judges surnamed Zhao in York City, but no relationship between them and Zhao Wei was found.

It would be terrible if it was not found, which means that the other party's information is at a confidential level.

In this case, getting too close to Wu Ruoying will only harm her, so it's best to keep a distance.

Taking the train around the city, Xu Cheng quickly found the place according to the address given by Chu Mo, and came to the door of a cheap rental house.

There was no doorbell, so Xu Cheng had no choice but to knock on the door.

Not long after, the door was opened, and a decadent young man with disheveled hair and beard appeared in front of Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng looked at the other party's bloodshot eyes and asked, "Are you Duan Ming?"

Duan Ming frowned: "It's me, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am."

Xu Cheng took out a bag from his body and opened it, revealing the silver earrings inside: "I'll return it to you."

Duan Mingru was struck by lightning, staring blankly at the small earring.

He suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed Xu Cheng's shoulders tightly, and shouted: "Where is Lingling?! Where is Lingling?!"

That's right, the decadent young man in front of him is Zhou Lingling's fiancé.

Xu Cheng grabbed one of his hands, put the earrings into his hand, and sighed: "My condolences."

Duan Ming took two steps back and sat down on the ground. He looked down at the earrings in his hand, tears welled up from his eyes and fell on the earrings.

At this moment, Xu Cheng seemed to see an illusory female figure appearing behind Duan Ming, hugging him gently.

When I looked again, there was nothing, as if that scene was just an illusion.

Originally, Xu Cheng didn't intend to return the earring that can summon monsters to its original owner, but Chu Mo found out about Duan Ming's current situation, and Zhou Lingling's temporary wish was to return the earring to her fiancé, so Xu Cheng gave up on returning the earring to her fiancé. Things according to their own plans.

"why?!"

Duan Ming was crying and muttering to himself, then suddenly raised his head and yelled at Xu Cheng: "Why?! Why did you send the things back?"

He clenched the earrings tightly with his hands, and kept beating the floor until his fists were bloody, crying and screaming: "Why did you smash my last hope?"

After Zhou Lingling disappeared, Duan Ming quit his job and searched desperately.

After such a long time, the two families already knew that Zhou Lingling was in danger, but Duan Ming was still unwilling to give up and firmly believed that Zhou Lingling was still alive.

This weak, humble hope was shattered by the earrings that Xu Cheng sent to him.

He would rather never find Zhou Lingling for the rest of his life, and would rather believe that she lived well somewhere than see her die.

Xu Cheng didn't mind Duan Ming's losing control of his emotions, but made up a lie about Zhou Lingling's accidental death, and told him the danger of earrings.

"Weird, you mean that Lingling has turned into something neither human nor ghost?"

Duan Ming's face became ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and blood vessels bulged under his skin.

Xu Cheng smelled a manic aura from him, and was startled.

People in this world will collapse under strong mental stimulation, or commit suicide, or become weird on the spot.

Duan Ming was stimulated by the death of his fiancée, and obviously began to develop into the latter situation.

Xu Cheng quickly took out the music box and opened it, and the melodious and brisk music sounded.

When Duan Ming heard the music, he covered his head with his hands, and hit the wall with his head in pain.

The mania in him was getting stronger and stronger, shouting like a madman.

Xu Cheng knew that he couldn't wait any longer, Duan Ming must be given general anesthesia.

He stretched out his hand, and struck Duan Ming's neck like lightning.

Duan Ming fell straight down and finally stopped.

Xu Cheng sighed helplessly, he obviously sent the things back out of good intentions, how could this happen.

This is the first time he has personally witnessed the process of someone becoming weird, and people in this world are too glassy.

Is it because the game is not fun or the hot pot is not delicious?I've been thinking about getting into a dead end all day long.

After waiting for more than an hour, Duan Ming woke up from the anesthesia, his eyes had returned to rationality, and he was not as manic as before.

He got up from the ground, covered his neck and snorted in pain: "It hurts, I feel like I was hit hard."

Xu Cheng's face was not flushed and his heart was not beating: "You accidentally hit the wall."

Duan Ming gradually remembered what happened just now, sat down on the ground, looked at the earrings in his hands, and wept silently.

Xu Cheng was ready to give him another anesthesia: "The dead cannot be brought back to life, so please mourn."

Duan Ming wiped away his tears with his sleeve, raised his head, and apologized to Xu Cheng: "I'm sorry, I got angry with you just now, I'm sorry."

Xu Cheng shook his head, expressing that he didn't mind, since it wasn't me who was beaten anyway.

Duan Ming glanced at the earring again, and then stuffed it into Xu Cheng's hand: "Give it to you, maybe it will be useful to you."

He didn't know how to thank Xu Cheng, so he had no choice but to give him this earring that could summon weirdness. If he stayed by his side, he would only be able to see things and think about others, which would only add to his sadness.

Xu Cheng was not pretentious, and took the earrings away.

It's not because of the function of the earrings, it's mainly because Duan Ming is sad every day with the earrings, and then he will create a new weird one, which will harm others and himself.

Seeing Duan Ming sitting on the ground in self-isolation, Xu Cheng left without disturbing him.

When I came outside, I looked up at the sun in the sky, but I didn't feel much warmth.

Xu Cheng was about to go home when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Chu Mo calling.

"Hey, come to my office right away, I have something urgent to discuss with you."
