Journey to Salvation from Chaldea

Yue Ye got stuck halfway through her words.The customer Cang Qi Chengzi spoke of stood up and walked in front of him, and bowed to him like a teacher: "It's the first time we meet, please take care of me, Mr. Yue Ye. My name is Yan Tiaoba. Call me Yan Tiao Enough."

"...Is this the customer you were talking about?" Yue Ye looked at the boy in front of him who had the same hair color as Li Xiang, and then looked at Cang Qi Orange with a strange look.

"That's right." Aozaki Chengzi's smile was a bit secretive, "How about it, does it belong to the category of 'you are interested in'?"

"It's not just interest anymore." Yue Ye's expression became serious, "Rou Tiao, I'm sorry, can I have a few words with Miss Chengzi alone? Thank you very much."

Yan Tiaoba nodded obediently, then opened the door and left the room.

After seeing the door closed tightly, Yue Ye said, "What's going on?"

"I picked up this child in the middle of the night yesterday." Cang Qi Chengzi said, "He claimed to have killed someone, and he hid in hiding in order to have a place where no one would find him. It seemed that he had something hidden. Out of curiosity, I brought him here. He slept on the sofa last night."

"That's not what I asked." Yue Ye shook her head, "As a magician, no, as a puppeteer, you should be very clear, right?"

"Sure enough, you are right to come here. The perception of lifespan by Chinese immortals is really extraordinary." Cang Qi Chengzi said with a smile, "That's right, Yantiao is just as you think."

"Does he know?"

"how is this possible."

"Is it because of Araya Soren?"

"It's possible, and I brought him back because of that possibility."

"...I'll call him in."

Cang Qicheng smiled again: "I knew you would promise me."

Moonlight opened the door.Yan Tiaoba was standing obediently in the corridor with his hands in his pockets and leaning against the wall.Yue Ye waved to him and invited him back to the room.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Yantiao." Yue Ye said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself formally. My name is Yue Ye, I am from China, and I am Miss Chengzi's friend and work partner. Although I don't know what your commission is , but she must have called me here because she thought I could help. Well, it's the first time I've heard it, so please repeat to me what you might have said to Miss Orange .”

"I killed people."

"It doesn't feel like it." Yue Ye tilted her head, "You have the face of an obedient child."

"It's true, I just killed him last night. I stabbed him to pieces with a kitchen knife and chopped off his head. He couldn't possibly be alive... Hehe, the cops will definitely gather at my house by now, with bloodshot eyes Search for me. That’s right, if Ms. Aozaki hadn’t hid me, I’d be famous at dawn——!”

Yan Tiaoba's voice became higher and higher, and when he realized that his emotions were out of control, he had already laughed at himself.Yue Ye listened to his laughter, somehow, it also sounded like he was crying.

"I'm sorry." Yan Tiaoba lowered his head.

"It's okay." Yue Ye shook his head, "But it seems to be true. It should be a murder of passion, right? Your emotions and behavior are quite similar to most murderers I have seen before, or most murderers in society. It's all passion killing... I'm sorry, let's get back to your business."

"Mr. Yue Ye... You and Ms. Cang Qi react similarly." Yan Tiaoba adjusted his emotions, and looked at Yue Ye with somewhat surprised eyes.

"After all, we should all be regarded as outliers in the crowd. Do you need me to be surprised?" Yue Ye said with a smile, "However, sensibility won't be of any benefit at this time, right?"

"That's right." Yan Tiaoba nodded, "Then I'll continue..."

### Chapter 350 Chapter [-] Ba's Story###

Sand sculpture group 779037920)

Before entering high school, Yan Tiaoba was a famous sprinter in the track and field circle.When I was in junior high school, I didn't know what defeat was, and I never watched the backs of other players cross the finish line.I am convinced that I can continue to shorten the record, and I have no doubts about my athleticism.

More importantly - I like to run.Only this was my truth, and I also held the heart of not losing to any obstacles.

However, I gave up running.

My family was not rich at first, and my father was unemployed when I was in primary school. Since then, the family environment has become worse and worse.The mother was originally a lady from a famous family, but it is said that she severed ties with her natal family and married her father.The father is unemployed and no longer works, and the mother who knows nothing about the world knows nothing.

Living in a family that was falling apart, I matured earlier than other children.Before I knew it, I had started lying about my age to work and try to pay my tuition.I can't manage my family's problems, it's enough to take care of my own affairs.

I worked by myself, went to school by myself, and went to high school on my own.Under the double pressure of my parents who no longer treat me as parents and living expenses, only running is my only salvation.Therefore, no matter how tired I was, I still insisted on participating in clubs and entered high school.

But not long after I started school, my dad had a car accident.Not only did he hit passers-by with his car, what's worse, he didn't have a driver's license.The compensation paid to the other party seems to be borrowed from the mother's family with her head bowed.During that time I couldn't think about anything, and I didn't know the details.

After the car accident dispute is over, the surrounding changes follow.I have nothing to do with my parents, but just because I am their son, the attitude of the school suddenly changed.

The instructors of the track and field club who had contributed a lot in the past turned a blind eye to me, and the seniors who originally praised me as a rising star also put pressure on me to quit the club.

But I'm used to these encounters, and it's not a problem.

The problem is at home.The car accident caused his father to lose his meager income, and he was no longer able to support the family.Although my mother took part-time jobs that she was not used to, the money she earned was only enough to pay the utility bills.My father hadn't had a full-time job since several years ago, and in the end he killed someone while driving without a license.These rumors were fueled and spread among the nearby neighbors, and he never went out of the house again.My mother endured the pressure of being gossiped about in private and continued to work, but she was unable to work in the same place for too long.In the end, when I just walked on the road, people would call me out with contempt.

The bullying around me was getting more intense day by day, but I didn't feel angry.Because Dad really killed someone, it is only natural to be discriminated against or insulted.It was not society that was at fault, but my father.That being said, I didn't turn my anger on my parents either.

At the time, I was tired of everything.I am very tired of all the entanglements around me. No matter how hard I try, the result is the same.Since no matter how fast I run, the troubles of my family will come around and get in front of me, so I can imagine the future——

I must have given up resistance at that moment.

The pursuit of life that is taken for granted in society has to be hit.As long as I accept that my life is meant to be like this, I will not feel unhappy, just like when I was a child.I replaced fantasy with intelligence and decided to live alone.

After giving up, I felt that it would be ridiculous to continue studying, so I dropped out of school.No, I can't support my family without working all hours of the day.As long as you are young enough, you can find job opportunities no matter what experience you have.My half-hearted conscience makes it impossible for me to abandon my family.Having said that, I haven't spoken to my parents since I left high school on a leave of absence.

------------------

"—I ended up killing them anyway."

Yan Tiaoba lowered his head and sat down on the sofa somewhat dejectedly.Yue Ye couldn't see his expression clearly, but he didn't think there would be any pretty look on his face now.

Yue Ye didn't know what to say.It seems that he should ask him why he killed his parents, but he is neither a policeman nor a psychological counselor, so there is no need to go through the scars of the teenager in front of him again.Maybe he could ask him about Araya Soren?It's not good either, now he should be immersed in sadness and quiet for a while.Thinking of this, Yue Ye got up gently and went to make three cups of hot chocolate.

"Give."

"Thank you."

There was no communication between him and Yan Tiaoba.To him, this person seemed to be a creature from another world.Yue Ye couldn't empathize with the misfortune that happened to him at all—he didn't quite understand the complex relationship between parents and children, and he knew that killing relatives was definitely a heinous crime.However, Yan Tiaoba seems to have his own hidden secrets, so he can only keep silent.

"Every family has hard-to-recite scriptures?" Yue Ye thought wildly, "It seems that there are more than one difficult-to-recite scriptures in his family, and there must be a box. Ah, one box is too much, let's make a pile, a pile of this amount More or less."

"Rouge, why did you kill your parents?" Aoqi Chengzi asked.

"Ask out." Yue Ye thought, "Sure enough, Miss Chengzi still asked out."

"I was so scared. I... had a dream. I went to bed after getting home from work, and not long after I heard my parents arguing next door, the paper door was pulled open. I found my father covered in blood. Mom stood there. After stabbing me to death, she also cut her throat. At first I thought I was dead, but when I opened my eyes in the morning, those tragedies did not happen. It was a dream, a boring dream."

Moonlight sighed softly.

"I must have that dream because I wanted to kill my parents but didn't dare to do it. Later, I repeated the same dream every day. That dream repeated every day. Although it was just a dream, I witnessed it every day Ah, I can't stand it anymore. I'm afraid of the night I was killed, and I don't want to have that dream again. So—to stop dreaming, I just killed the other person before I was killed... Yes, that One night, as soon as my mother opened the paper door, I took out a hidden kitchen knife and stabbed her. I killed her carefully and wiped away the anger that had died in her hands countless times. .I'm free. I'm not bound by my bad parents and my horrible dreams. I deserve it! It's so cool, I've never had anything to scare me from now on. Damn, what a . . . filthy freedom."

Only the fan in the room was still making noise.Yan Tiaoba consciously made a slip of the tongue, apologized softly, then lowered his head silently.

"Miss Chengzi, what is Rouge's request?"

"Ah, about this, it's actually not his commission." Aoqi Chengzi shrugged, "After I picked him up yesterday, because of his special status, I asked for his home address and planned to take a look. The scene. But after all, this kid is considered a murderer, and I was worried about leaving him alone here, so I watched him all night and called the police this morning."

Yan Tiaoba opened his eyes wide: "What!?"

"The feedback from the police is that there is no murder, and the Yantiao family is alive and well." Cang Qi Chengzi took a sip of hot chocolate calmly, "There is no murder, no corpse, and no abnormality."

"Impossible! I killed them!" Yan Tiaoba retorted fiercely, "I'm even afraid that my attack was too light and they didn't die completely. I even smashed their internal organs!"

Yue Ye narrowed his eyes: "No abnormality is the biggest abnormality. I don't judge Yan Tiao's character, but his feelings when describing those things don't seem to be fake."

"So we have to go to the scene." Aoqi Chengzi stood up as if making a conclusion, "Hey, Yantiao, can you still walk?"

"...I can." Yan Tiaoba nodded.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go back and change my clothes." Yue Ye also stood up, "Or, we'd better wait a little longer—for example, at night. Rouge's condition is not stable now, in order to avoid accidents, I I suggest that Miss Chengzi take him to eat something good first, and then let him take a hot bath or something, and have a good rest. I can also take advantage of this time to prepare something—something to deal with Araya Zongren."

"Are you so sure it's him?" Aozaki Chengzi raised an eyebrow.

"Nine out of ten." Yue Ye nodded.

"Okay." Aoqi Chengzi sat back on the sofa, "Then it is indeed necessary to wait. Just listen to you, and we will meet at eight o'clock in the evening. Yantiao, is there anything you want to eat?"

"Then I'll take my leave first." Yue Ye smiled and nodded.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yue Ye showed up in Cheng Zi's office on time.He was wearing black clothes: a black windbreaker, black shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes, even a black tie and gloves.

Cang Qi Cheng Zi and Yan Tiao Ba were ready, Cang Qi Cheng Zi even carried his own suitcase.Seeing his outfit, Aoqi Chengzi raised his eyebrows: "You are dressed in black...who is it for?"

"Of course not because of Huang Ye, he is not worthy of my courtesy." Yue Ye shrugged.

Cang Qi Chengzi looked at Yue Ye, then at the bewildered Yan Tiaoba, and sighed helplessly: "I've ordered a car, it's downstairs. Let's go."

###Chapter 350 Four Eternal Wheel###

Sand sculpture group 779037920)

As the destination, Ogawa Apartment is located in the apartment area near Chimihama, and it takes about three to 10 minutes to drive there from the Garan no Do of Canozaki Orange.Taking advantage of this time, Aozaki Chengzi opened her notebook and began to explain the situation to Yue Ye.

"I copied these directly from the police documents, so they should be accurate." Cang Qi Chengzi said, "The construction period was from 3 to [-], and the project was jointly contracted by three companies. —useless information. The apartment was formed by joining two adjoining apartments, two fairly neat half-moon-shaped ten-story buildings facing each other to form a circle—oh, Circular. Both buildings have ten floors, and the number of rooms is five on each floor, with a total of ten rooms from east to west. The rooms are a compromise between [-]LDK’s Western style and Japanese style. The configuration of waterways is quite rough. Started leaking downstairs, car park with [-] spaces above the apartment and another [-] below - what's the use of that information? I don't want to know about the style of the rooms and the quality of the waterways."

Yue Ye reluctantly stopped Ao Qi Cheng Zi from making complaints while reading.He directly took Aozaki Touko's notebook and began to read it.

It can be seen that Cang Qi Chengzi didn't care whether the information was useful or not when copying, basically she copied as much information as there was.Yue Ye not only saw the floor plan of the apartment structure, but also saw a bunch of useless construction data.He took a quick look and sorted out some noteworthy points.

One is that the building seems to have been pursuing a circular shape.Its appearance is round, the columns are also round, the elevator and elevator shaft are also round, and even the stairs are circular around the elevator shaft.

Another point of concern is the lobby.The hall is the only space that maintains the two buildings.This apartment is a building that divides a circle into two half-moon shapes from the center, and then puts them together.Only the central space connects the two buildings. If you are above the second floor, you cannot go directly from the east building to the west building. You have to go back to the central space first, and then go through the lobby.

"Strange design." Yue Ye closed the notebook and returned it to Cang Qi Cheng Zi, "Thank you for the information."

"Yeah." Aozaki Chengzi put the small notebook in his pocket.Rouge Ba, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, still seemed uneasy.He kept changing his sitting position somewhat awkwardly, and his ten fingers were intertwined dishonestly, as if to take care of his master's nervous mood.

"Here we are, the Xiaochuan apartment is in front of us." The taxi driver stopped the car, "Because we are not allowed to enter the yard with social vehicles, I can only take you here."

"Thank you master, be careful on the road." Yue Ye paid the fare with a smile.He got out of the car and saw Aoqi Chengzi frowning at the building: "What, here."

The houses surrounded by concrete walls are larger than some low-quality elementary schools.Since the building itself is circular, it does not occupy a large area, and the surrounding courtyards appear quite wide.As if dividing the courtyard in two, a paved path leads to the front of the apartment.Yue Ye shrugged and took the lead in taking the lead.The three of them came to the door of the apartment along the aisle. Yue Ye and Cheng Zi exchanged glances before entering the hall.

After walking a short distance in the hall, they came to the large pillar in the center of the apartment.An elevator is installed in the column, and on its side are stairs that few people use.Yue Ye casually pressed the button, and the elevator started to move with a "click, click".

"...It's really a disgusting place, here." Frowning, Aozaki Chengzi reached into the inside of his coat and took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Like a haunted house, there is an ominous smell that cannot be concealed in the air." Yue Ye sniffled, "That's great, I brought this thing for nothing."

Cang Qi Chengzi looked at his cane: "This one... seems to be different from the one you used before with a hidden knife inside. Can fairy magicians also use magic dress?"

"I don't know about others, I really know how to use this kind of thing." Yue Ye smiled and nodded, "The elevator is here, let's go."

In fact, Yue Ye didn't know if he was using fairy art or not.He just sensed in the dark that if there is a fairy art, it should be the way he used it that day.Of course, being mistaken by Aoqi Chengzi as a magician is also an unexpected gain.

"Hey! You've been talking about things I don't understand from the very beginning." Yan Tiaoba clenched his fists, "Can you explain to me?"

"Ah, it's too troublesome to explain one by one, anyway, you may see more things that you can't understand later." Yue Ye shook her head, "When everything is over, I will tell you a little bit. Your house is on the fourth floor, right?"

"……Um."

The elevator went up little by little with the sound of "click, click", and the sound of lack of maintenance made people panic.Obviously his body was rising, but Yue Ye felt that he was falling into the abyss bit by bit.With a "click", the floor indicator on the elevator door stopped at the number 4, the door opened silently, and a corridor appeared in front of their eyes.

"Did you feel it?" Yue Ye didn't leave the elevator immediately, but turned her head and asked without thinking.

"What?" Yan Tiaoba's face was a little dazed.

"Ah, I feel it, it's distorted." Aoqi Chengzi nodded knowingly, "But it's okay, let's go to Yantiao's house first."

After getting off the elevator, Yan Tiaoba walked directly to the south-facing corridor.Coming to the outside of the apartment, the corridor turns vertically to the left.This is the corridor that surrounds the outside of the East Building. The apartment rooms are lined up on the left, and the right side faces the outside. There is a chest-high guardrail to prevent slipping and falling.

"At the end is my home."

Getting closer to the destination, Yan Tiaoba's mood became more and more depressed, and he talked less and less.If it wasn't for leading the way, he would never be at the front of the team.In the quiet apartment, neither human voices can be heard from the room nor people walking in the corridor.When he came to the room at the end, he stopped.

Rouge stretched her fingers towards the doorbell, but was stopped by Yue Ye.

"Don't ring the bell. Go in, Yantiao."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Yueye. Are you planning to go in casually?" Yan Tiaoba was a little surprised.

"It doesn't matter what you want, this is your room." Yue Ye shrugged, "Besides, it's better not to touch the switch. Isn't the stage play very good? Do you have the key? Just open the door."

"This... alright." Yan Tiaoba reluctantly opened the door.For some reason, he always obeyed Yue Ye's instructions unconsciously.

The door opened, and the sound of the TV came from inside, as well as the sound of emotionless, formless conversations between family members.It was the voice of Rouge's father complaining, complaining that his current life was caused by his mother and this society.There is also the voice of the rouge mother who listens silently and nods blindly.

Yue Ye habitually said "excuse me".The voice is not low, theoretically speaking, it should not be overwhelmed by the sound of the TV, so that the rouge parents can hear it clearly.But the conversation in the room did not stop at all, and no one came out to greet them at all.Yue Ye shrugged and walked in without taking off her shoes.

"Hi! This is my house—"

"Wow!"

Yan Tiaoba's voice was interrupted by the sound of Yue Ye pulling the door - Yue Ye opened the door to the living room.Cheap dining table and small tv that don't match the luxury of the room, never cleaned properly, filthy room full of rubbish.The two middle-aged people, a man and a woman sitting on both sides of the table, are undoubtedly Rouge's parents.
