Chapter 442 Jiang Xueying
There are many idle factories in the Iron-Smelting City. These steel factories are all state-owned, that is, owned by the royal family. The workers obey the arrangements of the royal family and move their positions according to the demand of orders from outside customers. They go to where it is easy to get goods, and they work there.
At docks that do not need to load goods temporarily, there will be temporarily idle factories like this. Apart from people guarding and maintaining them, there are no workers.
Now, the hearts of all the guards here have been taken away by a beautiful woman.
"Chief, we have found traces of several Iron Demons, but I noticed that your brother has followed us as well." Lei Qianxin stood in front of an elegant woman, lowered his head and reported the information he had collected so far.
Jiang Xueying sat on a dusty chair. The crescent moon hanging in the night sky outside the window was reflected in her pink pupils.
She nodded slightly after hearing the report from her followers, and said to herself, "Really? He followed us too, how annoying. I might as well just... kill him here."
So many years had passed, and she was beginning to lose her patience. She had important things to do now, and if there was always a troublesome follower following her, it would distract her precious attention and might also slow down her pace in collecting Chaos Fragments.
She doesn't have much time left, and must collect as many Chaos Fragments as possible as quickly as possible... She must find those people before she completely turns into a monster.
Hearing that Jiang Xueying wanted to kill Jiang Yichuan, Lei Qianxin's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke out to dissuade her, "Leader! You can't kill him!"
"Why?"
"He...he is your brother." Lei Qianxin was speechless, not knowing what to say.
"I know he is my brother , but why can't I kill him? Since he dares to come to my house, it means he is ready to die. Then it is normal for me to kill him, isn't it?" Jiang Xueying said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Lei Qianxin clenched his fists and thought about the appropriate words. Although he also disliked Jiang Yichuang, he didn't think it was right for the leader to kill Jiang Yichuang.
Jiang Xueying changed from someone she didn't know when, and became indifferent to Jiang Yichuan.
From a certain point on, she stopped paying attention to her younger brother. At first, Lei Qianxin thought this was normal, but now he thinks it is abnormal.
"You said you did everything to protect him."
"Well, I did say that, but I'm fed up with him. He doesn't understand anything and just follows me like a dog. He follows me wherever I run. He has no opinion of his own." Jiang Xueying's eyebrows slowly frowned. "Now, I don't want him to follow me anymore."
Lei Qianxin didn't know what to say after hearing this. He thought it was obviously you who made him know nothing, but now you are blaming him. This reason is too outrageous.
He had an illusion that some existence had changed the leader's feelings towards his brother, and although this idea was unfounded, he felt more and more that it was true.
"Do you think I'm weird?" Jiang Xueying asked.
Lei Qianxin looked up at the other person. When he saw Jiang Xueying's pink eyes, he felt his heart beating. He lowered his head and looked away.
Seeing that Lei Qianxin didn't say anything, Jiang Xueying continued to talk to herself: "People's ideas will change. When people grow up, their wishes are different from when they were young. Few adults will fulfill their childhood dreams. It's the same for me. Yichuan has made me tired. If he doesn't come to me, then forget it. If he comes to cause trouble, let's solve it here."
Lei Qianxin's expression became more solemn, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked, "Then when are we going to attack those demons?"
"There's nothing to prepare anyway, so let's do it tomorrow night." Jiang Xueying said.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden violent vibration from the ground, the beams above their heads shook, and fine dust slid down from the beams like rain. Jiang Xueying and Lei Qianxin's faces changed suddenly at the same time.
The next second, a steel pillar as thick as a man's arms smashed down the wall and rushed into the room!
Rubble flew everywhere, high walls collapsed, and the heavy roof mixed with tiles and reinforced concrete fell down heavily!
Seen from the outside, the row of low-rise buildings was completely destroyed by the steel pillar that was like a stabilizing force. No matter who was trapped underneath, they would be in great danger.
"The demon in there is the one who just arrived here recently, right?" a skinny, shirtless man said in a hoarse voice.
His silver-grey eyes stared straight at the smoke-filled ruins, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly in a cruel smile.
Next to him stood a burly man who looked like a blacksmith. He had his hands on the ground and his eyes fixed on a steel pillar in the distance. As his ability was activated, the steel pillar slowly broke down into tiny pieces of iron. After breaking down into pieces of iron, it shattered into iron sand, which slowly flowed and rolled towards the man.
"It feels like he hit the target perfectly. He should be dead." said the man who looked like a blacksmith.
"Brother Long, don't be so confident. That woman is not simple. I have a contractor who has fought against her men. Her men are very powerful. Five people surrounded one of them and he ran away." The thin man sneered.
Steel Dragon shook his head. He knew this was impossible and those people inside would surely die.
Because their boss spent a lot of money to investigate that woman and just got first-hand information half an hour ago.
That woman is a demon who has made a contract with the Love Demon. The Love Demon has been taken in by the Alliance, and none of the skills displayed by other Love Demons in battle are skills to enhance the physical body. All their abilities are to control the human mind and body.
In other words... a sneak attack can kill the opponent directly. With that attack he just made, the opponent would definitely die.
Even if she didn't die, she would have been crushed to death, unless she was not only a demon but also possessed special abilities that could be used for defense.
"Monkey, come with me and see if she is dead or not." Steel Dragon said in a powerful voice. The two walked out of the construction site next to them and slowly walked towards the ruins.
Kara.
A small piece of stone rolled down from the top of the ruins and rolled all the way to the feet of the Steel Dragon and the Iron Monkey.
The Steel Dragon and the Iron Monkey stopped at the same time.
The Steel Dragon looked at the stones on the ground and raised his head to look at the ruins.
"Bang!"
An entire huge concrete floor was lifted up high and fell to the side, causing the earth to shake.
A slender figure dressed in khaki stood up in the center of the ruins. Her body was covered with yellow lumps of earth like the Terracotta Warriors. As she stood up, the earth on her body cracked, shattered and fell off. The earth on her face broke into pieces, and a pair of pink glowing eyes appeared behind the gap!
"Alright... let's deal with it tonight."
…
In the middle of the night, Su Ming sat in front of the computer, waiting anxiously.
Not long after, Chu Xiaobai's account on the computer sent a video request. Su Ming quickly pressed the agree button, and then Chu Xiaobai's face appeared on the computer screen.
"Hello, Brother Ming!" Chu Xiaobai raised his hand and waved to the camera, and Alice's voice was heard beside him.
"I want to see it, I want to see it!"
“No.”
The camera shook, and Chu Xiaobai handed the phone to Alice. Alice's cute pink face appeared in the video.
She looked at Su Ming on the phone with tears in her eyes, and asked softly and anxiously: "Dad, when will you come back?"
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a while."
"What have you been doing for so long? Sister Xiaoyu said she came to look for you. Did you see her?"
"Yes, yes!" Xia Xiaoyu rushed out from behind Su Ming and forced her way into the camera.
"Sister Xiaoyu, Dad... have you been gone for such a long time and are you going to look for your brother again? Alice doesn't want her brother anymore... can you please come back?" Alice's eyes were slightly red and her soft voice was a little choked.
Seeing Alice like this, Su Ming didn't know how to answer. He has never been good at comforting people, and he doesn't know how to deal with children.
Just when Su Ming was at a loss, Xia Xiaoyu interrupted and said, "Your father and I will be back soon. If you are lucky, we will bring you a little brother! So Alice should be a good boy at the Investigation Bureau and listen to Brother Xiaobai. Do you understand? When we return, we will both bring you a surprise!"
Hearing that Su Ming would be back soon and that there was a surprise, Alice's face looked a little better.
She nodded obediently and handed the phone back to Chu Xiaobai. Her avatar disappeared in the video, but Su Ming heard Alice say, "Dad, you have to come back soon." This made Su Ming feel the burden of being a father... although he was not Alice's real father.
Chu Xiaobai walked into the elevator with his mobile phone, then took out a card and swiped it on the elevator. The elevator went all the way down to the floor where the Demon of Love was.
Xi Wei was busy and couldn't leave, so Chu Xiaobai carried out Su Ming's request. As for why Chu Xiaobai had to bring Alice with him? Because according to data monitoring, the power of the Love Demon has increased recently, and its mental interference ability can already interfere with nearby researchers to a certain extent, so now Alice must be present when contacting the Love Demon.
Alice is completely immune to the love demon's mental interference.
Although Alice was in a very low mood due to Su Ming's absence for too long, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of her immunity, this level of immunity was still easy to achieve. After all, Alice was someone who could even avoid the interference .
The elevator went down all the way, and finally the door opened. Chu Xiaobai took Alice's hand and came to the place where the Devil of Love was imprisoned.
"What a rare guest." The Devil of Love spoke in an androgynous voice.
Observing the Devil of Love through the mobile phone video, the feeling of extreme beauty still affects Su Ming. Of course, because the indirect observation through electronic equipment weakened the sense of shock, Su Ming was not unable to take his eyes away like the first time he saw the Devil of Love.
Xia Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to Su Ming, took the initiative to mention: "It also knows about my amnesia. I once went to see it, but it didn't tell me at all afterwards!"
Su Ming nodded and recalled the scene when he and Xia Xiaoyu went to meet the Devil of Love for the first time. At that time, the Devil of Love did seem to have known Xia Xiaoyu for a long time, but he did not think about it deeply at that time.
"Xiaobai, tell it I have something to ask it." Su Ming said.
Chu Xiaobai: "He has something to say to you, I'll help him convey it."
"Who wants to talk to me?"
"Su Ming."
"Oh~ What is he going to say?" The eyes of the Devil of Love glowed slightly. They were really glowing, like beautiful opals.
"Please tell him first that I don't want to cancel the temporary contract. Also... do you want to sign a new temporary contract with me?" The Devil of Love asked with a smile.
Su Ming: "Xiaobai, tell it that I want to know about Jiang Xueying."
Chu Xiaobai conveyed Su Ming's words. When the Demon of Love heard these words, Su Ming saw that the expression of the Demon of Love in the video had changed very obviously. That change in expression was very close to human surprise and curiosity.
"Jiang Xueying... I'm sorry, I can't tell you about her. After all, she is my main source of energy now." said the Demon of Love.
Su Ming frowned slightly and said, "Tell it that I am willing to pay a corresponding price in exchange for Jiang Xueying's information."
Chu Xiaobai told him.
"Human, are you looking down on me? You are exchanging a fish for a fisherman's net... and do you think they will allow me to make such a high-risk contract?" The Demon of Love sneered contemptuously.
Xia Xiaoyu hugged her knees with her hands and squatted quietly on a chair next to Su Ming, looking at the Devil of Love in the video and observing Su Ming's expression.
"You don't really want to make a contract with it, do you?" Xia Xiaoyu asked in a deliberately low voice.
"I'm just saying it casually. The risk of the contract is too great. I won't do it."
After that, Su Ming said to Chu Xiaobai: "Ask it if there is any hidden story behind Jiang Xueying's incident at that time."
Chu Xiaobai relayed the message again.
Su Ming's hand quickly adjusted the mouse wheel, and the face of the Devil of Love in the video was gradually enlarged, eventually occupying the entire computer screen.
This was the first time that Su Ming used super intuitive lie detection on the devil. Due to information transmission and pixels, Su Ming knew that super intuitive judgment would definitely have errors, but he believed that this level of influence should not make him feel nothing at all.
He noticed that the Devil of Love hesitated for a moment when he heard the question, and then immediately said: "I said, Jiang Xueying is very important to me now."
"Xiaobai, it's okay. Go to sleep with Alice." Su Ming said and ended the video call.
He was sure.
Although the Devil of Love did not reveal anything, he knew that there was definitely something hidden in the matter of Jiang Xueying!
He's going to tell the captain about this!
Su Ming immediately stood up and walked out to Jiang Yichuang's residence. The interior of the royal city was quite large, and Jiang Yichuang's residence was quite far away from his. This was because Jiang Yichuang's current identity was an expert invited by the Rongtie Royal Family, while Su Ming's identity was a civil servant recognized by the Rongtie Royal Family.
Although he might only be an honorary civil servant soon, according to the rules he was indeed an insider of the island's ruling group, so his residence was relatively formal.
Now if Su Ming wants to go to Jiang Yichuang's place, he has to go through a garden and walk through a very long corridor.
It took Su Ming fifteen minutes to get downstairs. He saw that the windows of Jiang Yichuan's residence were dark, and it was impossible for him to fall asleep at this time!
"Not here?"
Su Ming frowned, he had a bad feeling.
