Chapter 186 Only those who are innocent can sleep peacefully (6K)

When Lu Ping was a child, he thought that the friendship between him and his friends would last forever, enough to withstand any test.

Until that day begins.

Lu Ping and his friends went to hang out in the canteen of the community as usual to see if there were any interesting toys.

At that time, the canteen was very empty, and the boss was napping on the table, not paying much attention to the two children.

Lu Ping went to pick out snacks, while his friend was looking at toys.

In the end, the two didn't buy anything and left directly from the canteen.

The next day, when Lu Ping was talking and laughing with his friends on the road, the owner of the canteen aggressively chased after him.

"You really don't learn well, and you're still a thief?" He scolded angrily.

Lu Ping and his friends were immediately stunned. From the words of the shop owner, Lu Ping knew that there was one item missing in the store yesterday, which was the most expensive toy.

At that time, only Lu Ping and his friends were present.

More and more people gathered around, and the words of the shop owner became more and more ugly.

The two children had never seen such a battle before, and they panicked all of a sudden, tears came out of their eyes.

Seeing their appearance, the owner of the commissary sighed.

"I'm sorry, because the store was often thieves in the past, so I'm really angry this time." He patted the shoulders of the two of them lightly and said, "Keep the toys for yourself, and I promise not to buy them again in the future." I will lose my temper with you."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, and the adults who were watching dispersed without saying anything.

However, the story of the two stealing things spread in the community, and they were gradually isolated.

After a while, Lu Ping finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Although he was young, he knew the way the adults and children in the neighborhood looked at him.

Facing Lu Ping's estrangement, the friend begged bitterly.

"Ping, I really didn't steal that toy, please believe me."

At that time, Lu Ping had mixed feelings in his heart.

After all, he was just looking at the snacks at that time, while his friend was picking out toys, so he couldn't pay attention to whether his friend made them or not.

He only cares about one thing, that is, he is innocent and should not be wronged.

In the end, he chose to keep a distance from his friends, and consciously or unconsciously mentioned what happened that day to people in the community.It was precisely because of this that Lu Ping cleared himself of his suspicions.

He was very happy, because everyone would no longer look at him like that.He can also play with his peers in the community as a matter of course.

Now the isolated person is only his friend.

Although Lu Ping sometimes felt guilty thinking about it, it was only for a short while.

"If he really has no suspicion, he can explain it to everyone confidently, why should he keep silent like this?" He used this reason to enlighten himself.

After that, although Lu Ping still met his friends sometimes, he always pretended not to see them.

And his friend is no longer cheerful, the whole person is depressed all day long, staying at home all day long.

Later, the owner of the commissary accidentally discovered that the toy was not lost.It's just because Lu Ping's friend picked up the toy over and over again that day, and finally pressed that toy under a pile of toys.Didn't find out until he was sorting out his toys.

After learning the truth, Lu Ping immediately ran to his friend's house to find him. At that time, he was very happy.Because the friend is innocent, the two can play together again.

However, just as he was about to arrive at the building where his friend lived, he happened to see something on the roof falling in front of his eyes.

Looking back, Lu Ping realized that it was his friend.

At the moment before the grievance was washed away, he finally couldn't bear the burden in his heart, and finally chose to jump off the building.

"If I had chosen to stand with him, if I had chosen to believe in him." Lu Ping was already crying when he said this, "he would not have died."

Li You was silent.

Only now did he understand why Lu Ping usually looked like this.

For a long time, the extreme guilt and self-blame towards his friend deeply overwhelmed him, and finally evolved into a demon in his heart.

This inner demon has been suppressing Lu Ping, making him stop.

Reaching out to pat Lu Ping's shoulder, Li You softly comforted him, but Lu Ping just cried.

"I'm guilty, and I should be punished," he said with a choked voice.

And Li You said in a deep voice: "But you have been punished now? Isn't it?"

It was not easy for him to persuade Lu Ping, and after the meal, the two parted ways and left.

Lu Ping walked all the way wiping his tears. In order to get back to his dormitory as soon as possible, he chose to take a remote path.

As he was walking, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lu Ping looked around and couldn't help being stunned.

Because that figure was his childhood friend.Under Lu Ping's gaze, the friend slowly walked out of the shadows in the alley, fully revealing his figure under the bright moonlight.

"Long time no see, Aping." He said softly.

Lu Ping silently looked at the friend in front of him, he still looked like he was when he was a child, his expression and appearance were not bad at all, as if he had walked out of his own memory.

While absent-minded, he couldn't help murmuring.

"Sorry, sorry."

And his friend stretched his hand behind his back.

Then, he drew a black spear.

"Are you willing to atone for the mistakes you made in the past?" He looked at Lu Ping and asked.

While stunned, Lu Ping nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, die." The friend's expression became cold, and he threw the black spear in his hand towards Lu Ping.

Lu Ping neither dodged nor dodged, but opened his arms calmly and closed his eyes.

At this critical moment, a red figure quickly flashed in front of him, cutting off the attacking black spear with a single sword.

Li You looked coldly at friend Lu Ping on the opposite side.

On the way back, he sensed something was wrong, and immediately transformed and rushed over, just in time to save Lu Ping.

And Lu Ping's friend looked coldly at the red-haired twin-tailed magical girl in front of him.

"I advise you not to meddle in your own business."

"As long as it's about the witch's business, it's nothing to worry about." Li You also replied coldly.

He had already seen that the child in front of him was not Lu Ping's friend at all, but a forged one by a certain witch based on Lu Ping's memory.

And it is likely to be the witch who committed the crime in the KTV before.

After realizing that he was rescued by a magical girl, Lu Ping murmured.

"You don't need to save me, I deserve what I deserve."

"No matter what, I won't let a witch kill you." Li You turned around and replied, "I'll hold her back next time, just run as fast as you can, the farther you run, the better!"

In the next second, the alley became pitch black.

Li You immediately lit up the alley with the red flames burning all over his body. At this moment, he saw countless black spears flying towards him.

Among them, three black spears aimed at his forehead, throat and heart, and more black spears aimed at Lu Ping behind him.

Because the black spear is so fast, it is impossible to condense the red flames to form a barrier defense.

Holding his breath, Li You immediately made the best countermeasure.

He swung his sword to block three deadly black spears in an instant, and then tightly protected Lu Ping behind him.However, at this moment, Lu Ping made a move that Li You did not expect.

He rushed out of Li You's back suddenly, and spread his arms to meet the countless black spears attacking.

Under Li You's amazed gaze, Lu Ping's body was pierced, and he spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

And Lu Ping's friend on the other side of the alley nodded in satisfaction after seeing this scene, and said softly, "The old debt has been paid."

He backed away slowly and finally disappeared without a trace.

Holding Lu Ping who kept vomiting blood, Li You desperately sent magic power into his body, trying to keep him alive.However, Lu Ping's injuries were too serious to be saved.

"Why are you bothering?" Li You couldn't help sighing.

Lu Ping smiled in relief, looked up at the sky, and said softly.

"So you can forgive me."

Afterwards, he gently closed his eyes and lost his breath in Li You's arms.

An hour later, Witch Countermeasure Bureau.

"So this witch has shot again?" Captain Lei looked at Lu Ping's body in front of him, and said softly.

After receiving Li You's report, the staff of the Witch Countermeasures Bureau rushed to the scene and brought Lu Ping's body back.

And those black spears that killed Luping disappeared without a trace.

Li You told Captain Lei everything he knew in detail.

"That witch can peek into people's past memories, and can even appear in the form of memories." He said to Captain Lei, "And she disappeared very quickly, and the breath and magic power on her body would also disappear without a trace. trace."

After rubbing his chin and pondering for a while, Captain Lei pondered and said, "You two dead classmates, one used to drive without a license and hit and run, and asked parents to help him escape from accountability. The other is a friend who wronged him, Indirectly caused the suicide of a friend. Have you noticed what they have in common?"

"You mean they are all guilty? And this witch is judging them?" Li You said after thinking for a while.

"It's almost like this." Captain Lei nodded. "I'm afraid that's why the witch attacked them. Speaking of which, I'm also curious as to what kind of witch this is."

"We can only check slowly." Li You said softly.

On the way back, he received a call from Bai Qiuyue.

"We just came back from the food street, do you want to bring you something to eat?" Bai Qiuyue asked softly.

"No need, I'm not hungry now." Li You shook his head.

Then he seemed to think of something, and said to Bai Qiuyue: "Today I went to a restaurant and had a good omelet rice, shall we eat together in the future?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately thought of Lu Ping's sobbing appearance while eating, and his appearance before he died, and his mood suddenly became depressed.

"This omelet doesn't seem very tasty anymore." He thought silently.

At this moment, Bai Qiuyue said suddenly.

"By the way, your squad leader is also playing with us."

Li You was taken aback for a moment, then asked more questions.

"It's Wang Yingying? Are you sure?"

"That's right." Bai Qiuyue said and glanced at Wang Yingying beside her, "Because she is my roommate, so I invited her to play with her. We have been together since the end of the military training."

Li You couldn't help but frowned.

Squad leader Wang Yingying has been with Bai Qiuyue and the others since the beginning of military training, which also means that she is not the witch who did it, and the suspicion on her body has been washed away.

"Actually, Wang Yingying has not been very happy, probably because of the things in the KTV." Bai Qiuyue added, "Even though we have been enlightening her, she still can't let go, and even cried."

"Yeah." Li You nodded lightly, "Be careful on the way back, I'll hang up if nothing happens."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Captain Lei.

"Captain Lei, let me ask you a question," he said.

"Speak." Captain Lei waved.

"Can a witch transform into a man to sneak into human society?" Li You asked.

Captain Lei was stunned when he heard it.

"Your question is really tricky, you immediately hit my blind spot." He smiled wryly. "Actually, I haven't really thought of this problem, but it's still possible, right?"

Li You nodded.

It didn't take long for him to return to his dormitory building. When he opened the door, Chu Ci was sitting at the desk reading a book.

Seeing Li You's return, he put down the book in his hand and nodded slightly towards him.

"Oh, are you back?"

"En." Li You nodded.

Then he pretended to be casual and asked: "Did you read all night in the dormitory tonight?"

"That's right." Chu Ci nodded and replied, "During the period, a group of girls asked the boys passing by the door to call me out, and I asked them to line up in the order they came, and rejected their confessions one by one."

"."

"By the way, here are chocolates and handmade biscuits, would you like to try them?" Chu Ci said, pointing to a pile of chocolates and biscuits on the table. "This is the confession gift that those girls insisted on giving me."

"This is not good." Li You scratched his head. "After all, this is a confession gift from a girl. How can I eat it properly?"

"Don't worry, I didn't spoil their good intentions." Chu Ci said, "I opened the package and tasted everything carefully. But I really can't solve it by myself. It would be too wasteful to throw it away. So please Please help me."

After sighing lightly, Li You took a few packets of chocolates and biscuits thrown by Chu Ci.

Taking a closer look, there are also expensive and delicious hazelnut praline chocolate balls, which made Li You's eyes light up, and he started to eat them immediately.

During this period, he quietly sensed Chu Ci's breath, wanting to see if there was any clue.

But still didn't notice anything.

When sleeping at night, Li You quietly used magic power to form a barrier on his body, and held his soul gem under the quilt.

He has already prepared the best defense measures.

But the night passed without incident.

The next day, the news of Lu Ping's death spread in the school.The students in Li You's class immediately became more depressed, because this was the second person in their class who died.

Everyone became panicked, and they no longer had the energy to conduct military training.

Li You was questioned by many students.Because although he didn't reveal his cardinal identity, he had dinner with Lu Ping that day, and Lu Ping encountered an accident when he returned.

To this, he could only answer the crowd calmly: "Lu Ping was killed by a witch."

Having said that, he secretly clenched his fists.

He is a high-ranking magical girl who oversees the school's jurisdiction, but two people were killed by the witch in just a few days after the start of school, and there is nothing he can do at this moment.

"We must find that witch as soon as possible and expel her." He silently made up his mind.

But no one died in the next week, and this unknown witch obviously chose to lie dormant for a while.

Early one morning.

"Don't blame yourself too much." Li Qingzhi, who came to visit Li You at the school gate, said comfortingly. "Your school is so big, and there are tens of thousands of people, you can't take care of it."

Then he added.

"If you feel guilty, try to shoulder your responsibilities."

Li You nodded.

Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the school gate.

That is the monitor Wang Yingying.

At this moment, she was talking to a middle-aged man sitting in a luxury car. The middle-aged man was [-]% similar to her in appearance, and he was obviously her father.

"This is a multi-million dollar luxury car." Li You couldn't help but said.

He once heard about Wang Yingying's affairs among his classmates. She came from a wealthy family, and her father gave her a bank card when she was in high school and asked her to use it for consumption.Since junior high school, her monthly pocket money has been several thousand, and it has even reached five figures in college.One of the reasons why Wang Yingying is so confident and generous is her strong family background.

But when facing her father, Wang Yingying didn't seem very natural, but rather cautious and cramped.She often lowered her head when talking to her father, completely different from her confident and bold appearance in the past.

Looking at it, Li You frowned slightly.

He always felt vaguely that Wang Yingying seemed to be very afraid of her father.During the conversation between the two, she never raised her head and looked at her father.

When Wang Yingying finished the conversation with her father and watched him leave, she inadvertently turned around and saw Li You standing not far away.

"That's my father. I was actually quite surprised to learn that he came to see me at school today." While walking on the road with Li You, Wang Yingying brushed her hair and said softly.

"En." Li You nodded.

"The reason why my father came to me today is to ask me if I want to move out of the dormitory and live at home." Wang Yingying continued, "But I don't always get along well with my younger siblings, so I refused. gone."

After hearing this, Li You obviously felt a little surprised.

He expected that Wang Yingying, not to mention cute, was confident and enthusiastic, with a bold and lively personality. She was a heartthrob who was loved by everyone. How could she not get along well with her younger siblings.

But when he thought that every family had hard-to-recite scriptures, he didn't choose to ask more questions.

In the following day, Li You noticed that Wang Yingying had been absent-minded, and even her military posture was a little unsteady.

When a girl asked her with concern, she just waved her hand and shook her head saying she was fine.

At the end of the military training in the evening, Li You and Bai Qiuyue went to have dinner together.

Even though she is wearing a simple military training uniform, she is tall and good-looking and still attracts many people's attention when she walks on the road.

While eating, Bai Qiuyue inadvertently frowned.

"What's wrong?" Li You immediately asked with concern. "Are you having trouble with your friends?"

"That's not true, everyone is fine." Bai Qiuyue replied. "It's just my roommate, your monitor Wang Yingying. She's not very happy recently."

"How to say?"

"At night, she often cried secretly under the quilt. Although she deliberately lowered her voice, I still heard it." Bai Qiuyue said with a worried expression on her face. "I once asked her what was going on and if she needed my help, but she always shook her head and waved her hands and said it was okay."

"Is that so?" Li You hesitated to speak.

He didn't expect that Wang Yingying, who was always generous and confident in front of everyone, was so sensitive and fragile behind her back. She obviously had something on her mind.

At this moment, Lu Ping's face when he was crying flashed through his mind again, the way he couldn't make a sound.

"That's right." Bai Qiuyue seemed to have thought of something, and added another sentence. "On the first day of school, Wang Yingying came here by herself, and her parents didn't come to help. Whenever her father called, she was always very unnatural and even faltered."

"Was it always Wang Yingying's father who called her and saw her? Where's her mother?" He asked immediately.

Bai Qiuyue just shook her head when she heard the words.

"I haven't seen her mother."

When she said this, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Li You softly.

"One morning when I got up to take a shower, I overheard Wang Yingying in her sleep saying that my mother was sorry."

Li You nodded upon hearing this.

"Please help protect Wang Yingying." He said to Bai Qiuyue.

"What's wrong?" Bai Qiuyue asked suspiciously.

"It's also hard for me to explain. It's probably just my intuition." Li You replied.

After eating, he accompanied Bai Qiuyue to go shopping for a while, and bought some gifts for her.After coaxing his girlfriend to be happy and sending her back to the dormitory, he stood still and thought carefully.

"Although I can't explain it clearly, I always feel that Wang Yingying will become the witch's next target. There must be some clues about the matter between her and her mother." He said to himself.

To be on the safe side, Li You decided to start investigating Wang Yingying's affairs.

"Then who better to ask?" he thought to himself.

After all, this is Wang Yingying's family affairs and privacy, so he can't ask blatantly.In case things were revealed, he would cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

At this moment, a cute girl who came out of the dormitory saw Li You, her eyes lit up, and she walked towards him quickly.
