Chapter 435 Xia Xiaoyu's Surprise
"Go away! Go away!"
Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from the crowd. Su Ming looked up in surprise. Xia Xiaoyu just pushed the crowd away. She shot towards Su Ming like a cannonball just out of a barrel. She opened her arms and legs and hugged Su Ming, holding Su Ming like an octopus.
Xia Xiaoyu was completely relieved. It was really great that he was not dead.
Su Ming hugged Xia Xiaoyu, buried his head in Xia Xiaoyu's hair and took a deep breath. The fragrance of Xia Xiaoyu's hair made him dizzy, and the touch of her arms made him so moved that he wanted to cry. This feeling of security was what he had been thinking about day and night. He had dreamed of such a scene many times, and now it had finally come true.
"Okay, we can come down now." Su Ming said.
"No! Let me hold you for a while longer." Xia Xiaoyu said coquettishly.
Su Ming looked at the people in front of him who were all moved, and suddenly felt very strange.
Everyone was looking at him with gratitude for the joy of surviving the disaster, but he stood in the center of the crowd holding Xia Xiaoyu. The feeling was quite subtle and hard to describe. If I had to describe it, it was a bit like when you were watching something unhealthy on your phone during class in high school and the teacher found out but chose to ignore it.
At this moment, the sound of armor colliding suddenly came from the outside of the crowd, and a group of guards came forward and surrounded everyone here.
Everyone was terrified. The captain of the guards standing behind the guards held a megaphone and shouted, "Don't worry! I hope everyone will cooperate. It's just a normal psychological examination to confirm whether everyone is mentally healthy!"
As soon as Su Ming heard it, he knew the purpose of these guards, because the Molten Iron Royal Family knew the truth about the Devil's Land, so they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of so many people. They were not sure which of them had turned into crazy monsters, so they had to select them carefully.
This is a good idea and there is no harm in it.
"Wait a minute, come out for a moment." A cold bass voice sounded from behind the formation. A middle-aged man with a serious face and a drooping mouth walked out of the formation and pointed at Su Ming who was holding Xia Xiaoyu in the middle of the crowd and said, "You must be the murderer wanted by the platform. Please come with me!"
He was recognized at the first sight. Su Ming thought for a moment and patted Xia Xiaoyu's butt. Xia Xiaoyu immediately understood and jumped down obediently.
Su Ming took a few steps forward, wanting to cooperate with the other party for the time being, but before he could step forward, the crowd rushed over and blocked Su Ming's way.
"Sir, you are wrong. Mr. Xia is not a murderer." said an honest blacksmith.
"You must be mistaken," echoed the woman holding the child's hand.
"Mr. Xia can't be a murderer!"
"He saved us! This must be a mistake!"
Qin Hansheng pushed the blacksmith away and shouted, "No mistake! Take him away!"
"Don't take Mr. Xia away!"
"Don't take Mr. Xia away!"
"Mr. Xia saved everyone! Why do you say he is a murderer!"
In just a few seconds, the crowd became noisy. Qin Hansheng was very surprised to see this scene. He stepped back and shouted to stop the boiling crowd, but the deterrence that had been effective in the past had no effect at all at this moment. This group of civilians completely ignored the fact that the people standing in front of them were honorable royal city guards, and they shouted at him like they were possessed.
Qin Hansheng didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Just then, Zhou Xiaoxiao walked out from the crowd and came in front of Qin Hansheng. Qin Hansheng saw Zhou Xiaoxiao, his eyes lit up, raised his hand and greeted her: "I didn't expect that Xiao Zhou, you are out too. It seems that everyone who went in has indeed come out."
"Uncle Qin, he was the one I investigated before. He is not Su Ming. He is Xia Ming. Although he looks very similar to Su Ming, they are indeed two different people." Zhou Xiaoxiao said.
After that, Zhou Xiaoxiao leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered, "In addition, it can be said that all these people were rescued by him. It can be said that so many people were able to come back alive thanks to him."
Qin Hansheng's eyes flashed, and he looked at Su Ming with more respect.
He was a smart man, and as soon as he heard this he knew what this man meant to the royal family of Molten Iron City. Although the ghost domain only occurs once in a long period of time, there are absolutely no signs or prompts when it occurs, and there is no pattern at People from anywhere may be pulled into the ghost domain, even people living in the royal city.
In addition, there is a saying...that is, among those who enter the ghost realm, no normal person comes out.
Although the royal family has always emphasized that it is entirely possible to survive the ghost realm with devout faith, a retired senior revealed that it was just a statement to maintain people's confidence.
The real truth is that the royal family was helpless in the face of this terrible and bizarre phenomenon, so they could only make up a lie to cover everything up.
If the rumors are true, and this man who looks very similar to Su Ming has indeed led many people back from the ghost realm, then the value of this man to the royal family is immeasurable!
"Please calm everyone down. I'm going to report the situation of the past few months to my superiors." Zhou Xiaoxiao said.
Qin Hansheng nodded: "I understand."
After Zhou Xiaoxiao had finished her preparations, she turned around and winked at Su Ming. Su Ming understood and quickly followed Zhou Xiaoxiao's pace.
The people behind him followed suit, and the crowded crowd slowly moved along with Su Ming. The people around him were trying to dissuade Su Ming, but as soon as Su Ming raised his hand, everyone shut up and watched Su Ming and Zhou Xiaoxiao pass through the guard array and disappear from their sight.
"Son, do you think those people will make things difficult for Xiao Xia?" asked old man Xu, frowning his gray eyebrows.
"Don't worry, Dad! It won't happen. Mr. Zhou is right next to us." Xu Tiejun said while supporting his old father.
…
“La la la la ~ la la la ~ ~ ~”
The cheerful singing voice echoed in the long corridor, hitting the high dome and then reflecting off the walls. Xia Xiaoyu held Su Ming's hand, humming a ballad without a fixed tune, and walked casually beside Su Ming.
After the ups and downs just now, Xia Xiaoyu is in a very good mood now. As long as she holds Su Ming's hand and does not face anything weird, everything will be fine. Although Su Ming seems to have encountered some difficulties now, she thinks it is not a problem at all.
Xia Xiaoyu, who has gained freedom, is invincible in front of humans!
"Ah! I almost forgot, I have a surprise for you!" Xia Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, like a child who got 100 points but forgot to show the test paper to her parents, and a knitted black "long skirt" escaped from the storage box No. 7 behind her.
This dress is a bit like a woman's skirt, and a bit like a cloak. The whole thing is woven with some kind of black silk thread. Su Ming had a guess when he saw it for the first time. He reached out to touch the smooth and soft surface of the dress. The familiar feel confirmed his guess.
"Did you get that shampoo ?"
"Well! Isn't it great? I made it myself!" Xia Xiaoyu looked proud.
Recalling the learning process of knitting this dress, Xia Xiaoyu became more certain that she was a genius. She did not have the knitting skills, but after learning in the high-end tailor shop in Sun Island, her knitting speed surpassed those of the old tailors.
Su Ming couldn't wait to put on the clothes and try out their effect. Only he knew how valuable they would be if they worked!
Soft hair was draped over Su Ming's body. He put on his clothes, tied them close, and put on a hood. There were hair ties in front of the hood that could be tied up. By tying up each hair tie, he could hide his entire face in the clothes, without even showing his eyes.
In order to achieve the perfect effect, Su Ming had to make himself blind. If he showed his eyes, others would still be able to sense his presence. He couldn't imagine how others would view him in that state. They should be able to recognize him, but all parts of his body except his eyes would be ignored.
Su Ming glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao who was walking in front, quickly patted Zhou Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and then covered his face.
"Xia Ming? Hmm? Where is Xia Ming? Who took the photo of me just now?"
He heard Zhou Xiaoxiao saying this outside, which meant that his actions while wearing clothes would still have an impact on the outside world, but the perception of the naked eye could be completely blocked, which was exactly the same as Su Ming's original guess.
Then Su Ming took off the clothes Xia Xiaoyu gave him in front of Zhou Xiaoxiao. Zhou Xiaoxiao just watched Su Ming "appear" from thin air without any surprise. She didn't ask questions like "Where did you go just now?" Instead, she asked, "Did you pat my shoulder just now?"
"Nothing, just asking how long it will take."
"Almost there, we'll be at the office soon."
After saying that, Zhou Xiaoxiao continued to lead the way.
From Zhou Xiaoxiao's series of reactions, Su Ming could roughly guess how terrible the influence of this dress is. If he disappears, he will notice the movement, but if he takes off his clothes and appears directly, he will not be questioned why he appears here, because Xia Xiaoyu's clothes affected him, so the correct causal cognition is not "Su Ming took off his clothes", but "the clothes released Su Ming."
"Okay, do you like this surprise?" Xia Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Like... cough! I like it very much!" Su Ming held it in for a long time before uttering two words. Although there were only two words, they were very spirited.
He originally wanted to add some thoughts, but to be honest, he didn't say dirty words, and it would be easier to express it directly with actions. Xia Xiaoyu liked to see Su Ming's shy look. When seeing Su Ming like this, Xia Xiaoyu would feel a sense of pride in his heart, "I have this guy for sure! I can control him for the rest of my life!"
"My surprise will take some time to prepare," said Su Ming.
He had promised to give Xia Xiaoyu a surprise, but because he was accidentally pulled into the devil's territory, the progress of the surprise was delayed. Although he was trying to complete it in the devil's territory, the workload was a bit heavy, so there was still some progress.
“Oh~ I see!”
Xia Xiaoyu responded with a slightly rising tone, as if she had sensed the deeper meaning in the surprise.
She nodded contentedly, as if she had already guessed what surprise would come later.
