Chapter 208: Chi You's back
At night, the pedestrian walkway is crowded with people, and the lights of the city block out the light of the moon in the sky.
The ambiguous and hoarse singing came out from the bar if not at all. Handsome men and women came in and out of it, and limousines stopped at the door and flew away.
Jiang Luo and Wen Renlian walked into the bar in a low profile.
Jiang Luo's footsteps paused just as he entered the door.
He saw a ghostly vapor scurrying on the tiles in a foggy manner, and the ghostly vapor had a reddish glow, there were ghosts hiding in this bar.
Or a harsh ghost who has harmed many people.
Jiang Luo's gaze chased after the ghostly qi, he turned his head sideways and said to Wen Renlian, "There are dirty things here, I'll go and fix it first, you go wait for me in the box."
Wen Renlian nodded, "Be careful."
The place where the ghost's aura is the strongest is in the toilet, and Jiang Luo chased him all the way here. The hidden ghosts seem to realize that he is not coming for good. The moment Jiang Luo enters the toilet, the door closes fiercely and the overhead light starts to flicker rapidly.
Brightly and darkly, the evil wind outside the window howled like a cry.
Jiang Luo calmly took off his jacket and wrote a talisman on the back of the jacket with his fingers, "After catching you, I'll give it to Chi You so that he can replenish his ghost energy."
Jiang Luo shakes his jacket and walks towards the pool, which is suddenly filled with blood.
*
Bai Qiu and Fu Wei both arrived at the box early, and within a few minutes of Wen Renlian's entrance, Jiang Luo also arrived in a clean and fresh state.
He was wearing nothing but a stylish white shirt, his jacket balled up and thrown casually onto the couch.
Bai Qiu gave him an angry look, "How can clothes be thrown away?"
She was about to reach out and fold Jiang Luo's clothes, when he said, "Don't worry about it, there's still a ghost wrapped inside."
Bai Qiu's entire body stiffened as she lost her voice and exclaimed, "Ghost?!"
Jiang Luo sat down next to Wen Renlian and explained towards Bai Qiu with a smile, "Has this bar of your friend's had a lot of bloodshed lately?"
A friend told Bai Qiu about it, and Bai Qiu turned pale and nodded in horror.
Jiang Luo said, "Don't worry about it in the future, the culprit has been caught by me."
Bai Qiu wanted to run away, but the thought of being in the same room with a ghost sent chills down her spine. She took a deep breath and managed to thank her friend, "Thank you, thank you, Jiang Luo, thank you so much."
Fu Wei looked straight at Jiang Luo's jacket for a moment, he didn't look too scared.
With a ghostly jacket balled up next to them, everyone in the ensuing collaboration sped up, wanting to hurry up and talk and leave. In less than twenty minutes, everything was negotiated.
Bai Qiu controlled himself from looking at Jiang Luo's jacket again and said with a slightly unnatural smile, "You guys want to go out and have some fun? My friend's bar is pretty lively."
At Bai Qiu's warm invitation, Jiang Luo and Wen Renlian declined, intending to go to the first floor to have a seat.
The second floor wasn't too noisy at the boxes, but the first floor was much more chaotic. The noisy crowd was cut into countless bright and dark color blocks between the lights, twisting their bodies to the music, intoxicated by cigarettes and alcohol.
There were a few empty seats at the bar, so Jiang Luo casually sat down and asked for a drink. The dark light from the top of the head down, let him look more a few points of laziness, Jiang Luo lazily let the bartender another pack of cigarettes, bartender cleverly sent a box of high-grade cigarettes.
Jiang Luo extracted a, two fingers lazily holding the cigarette to the lips, next to someone came up, familiar with the lighter to Jiang Luo cigarette front.
The dark-haired youth lifted his eyelids to look up as the tall, handsome man smiled confidently at him.
There are countless eyes on them in the shadows, and some of those who were foolish enough to try to hit on Jiang Luo, but were beaten to it, are watching Jiang Luo's reaction.
As soon as Jiang Luo entered the bar, he attracted a lot of attention.
He was so beautiful, a beauty that carried with it the aggressiveness and gallantry of a man, with a flamboyant and diffident air that was extremely eye-catching. In the bar, a hunting ground, he was almost seen by many as a quality prey that had to be taken.
Jiang Luo's soft lips curled up and nonchalantly spat out a mocking word: "Get lost."
The man left with a green and black face.
The bartender smartly offers a lighter, and Jiang Luo looks down and lights his cigarette, leaning over the bar table to watch the men and women around him.
His spine was curved in a relaxed manner, and his long, unbound hair was unruly on his shoulders. Jiang Luo, in the hidden light, is in the downtown area, but feels a little lonely and boring.
After the man left, I guess someone thought he didn't like men, and another hot babe came, but again Jiang Luo rejected her.
Wenren Lian smiled for a moment, "Of all the people, you don't have a favorite?"
Jiang Luo pulled up his lips, "I didn't mean that at all, I'll leave as soon as I finish this drink."
Wen Renlian looked at Jiang Luo's side face shadowed in the smoke and said in a joking tone, "You only like Chi You that type, right?"
Jiang Luo took a sip of his cocktail and grunted, "So true."
Wen Renlian looked toward the crowd and suddenly pointed in one direction, "Do you see how that person looks like Chi You?"
Jiang Luo looked along and saw a man in a suit wearing glasses sitting on the sofa looking at him.
Handsome looking, like a svelte scum. He was obviously not less attractive, as he was surrounded by several other flamboyant young boys.
Jiang Luo was only looking at it casually, but he frowned after reading it instead.
This guy really looks like Chi You.
If he didn't know that Chi You was seriously injured and was out there devouring ghosts in silence, Jiang Luo would have thought that this was a puppet manipulated by Chi You.
Wen Renlian said in a summarizing tone, ''I see that he's quite interested in you, he's just been looking at you. Aren't you going to break up with Chi You? Consider thinking about this person as well."
Jiang Luo's eyelids jumped, why are we talking about this again?
He reminded secretly, "Did you forget that dream Ge Zhu had earlier? I broke up with him, he had to go crazy."
The dream was a lie made up by Wen Renlian, and of course Wen Renlian didn't forget it. But Wen Renlian knew that Jiang Luo clearly liked Chi You, and it had nothing to do with sacrificing oneself for others.
Wen Renlian didn't want Jiang Luo to think that he was barely with Chi You at the expense of himself for the sake of someone else, misinterpreting his fondness for something else.
This insults both Jiang Luo's secret favorite and Chi You's feelings for Jiang Luo.
He wanted Jiang Luo to recognize himself, to admit his love from the bottom of his heart and happiness, and to simply be with Chi You without the burden of "destroying the metaphysical world".
Wenren Lian said, "A dream is still a dream after all, it doesn't always come true."
Jiang Luo rejects the others and admits to having a crush on someone of Chi You's ilk. When he is not interested in anyone like Chi You, Wen Renlian believes that Jiang Luo will be able to understand his feelings.
As soon as Wen Renlian's words fell, the man stood up from the sofa and walked towards Jiang Luo.
The man's aim was clear, and he flashed a smile when he saw that Jiang Luo was also looking at him.
The more you look at it, the more it looks like.
Jiang Luo looked at him steadily for a few minutes, pondering in his mind the possibility of Chi You using a puppet to hang out at the bar without telling him.
The man walked over to him and ordered another drink for him. Jiang Luo did not refuse, but looked at him in silence.
The man politely asked, "May I ask if you have a boyfriend?"
Jiang Luo's expression instantly became a bit cold, "Sorry, I have a lover."
The man did not pester, but looked at Jiang Luo with slight regret, and courteously left.
In two sentences, this man completely lost the feeling of Chi You, let Jiang Luo's suspicion curiosity lost to nothing, Jiang Luo felt completely boring, he wanly lowered his head to smoke a cigarette, and looked back at the back of the man, but Yu Guang glimpsed a familiar figure in the crowd, it was Chi You!
Jiang Luo pupils clenched, abruptly stood up, picked up his jacket and chased after him.
He recognized Chi You even if it was ashes. He was sure it was Chi You!
Jiang Luo quickly weaved his way through the sea of people, the smell of various perfumes pungent to his nose, making his face more and more gloomy. When he finally ran through the crowd and out the door of the bar, Chi You's figure had already disappeared.
Jiang Luo's chest heaved violently, he stared at the sides of the road, Chi You is really gone, as if disappeared out of thin air, everything was so fast that it was like an illusion of Jiang Luo.
Damn it.
Jiang Luo kicked the foot of the wall hard, trying to calm the fire.
Is he really hallucinating?
But Jiang Luo intuited that it was Chi You.
If it's really Chi You, why did he come here? Did he come here to talk about work like Jiang Luo, or did he come to find Jiang Luo?
But if he came to see Jiang Luo, why didn't he show up to see him?
Jiang Luo closed his eyes and pulled out his cell phone to make a call to Wen Renlian.
A few minutes later, Wen Renlian walked out of the bar. The two of them drove back, Jiang Luo did not say anything on the way, his face was cloudy. Wen Renlian seemed to know that he was in a bad mood, and did not interrupt.
Back in his room, Jiang Luo began to look for the cell phone Chi You had given him for Chinese New Year.
That's the only way to reach Chi You.
The first few days, Jiang Luo was worried that he was busy recovering, and he didn't contact Chi You when there was nothing really important, but the back of the man he saw at the bar today has been haunting Jiang Luo, and he wants to know where the hell Chi You is right now.
Jiang Luo found his cell phone and dialed the only number in his address book. But he waited for a long time, but the other party did not answer.
Five times in a row.
Jiang Luo's face slowly became calm, but the cell phone was suddenly pinched into pieces by him.
It was as if he understood how Chi You had felt waiting for his call when he had been imprisoned in the Tenshiho.
The broken pieces fell from his fingers, Jiang Luo collected his expression and went out the door as if nothing had happened, and walked to Ge Zhu's door.
"Ge Zhu?"
Ge Zhu opened the door and said suspiciously, "What's wrong."
Jiang Luo said, "Make a call to Ge Wuchen and ask him how Teng Bi's news is going."
Ge Zhu nodded obediently and turned to go back inside.
Jiang Luo naturally followed, sitting next to Ge Zhu and listening to him on the phone.
Ge Wuchen was quick on the uptake, guessing what Ge Zhu wanted to ask, and without waiting for Ge Zhu to make a sound, he took the lead in answering, "I found out his birth date, but no one knows the date of his death."
Ge Zhu frowned and looked at Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo mouthed, "Chi You."
Ge Zhu asked cautiously, "Chi You don't know either?"
"I have not asked him," Ge Wuchen said, "I have not seen the master since he left, and I will ask when he returns. If the master doesn't know either, then no one in the world does."
The corners of Jiang Luo's lips pulled straight, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke out, "It would be best if Teng Bi's matter was resolved as soon as possible, so think of a way to contact him."
"Jiang Shi Zhu is also there?" Ge Wuchen appeared to be genuinely surprised, then sighed and said sincerely, "Jiang Shi Zhu, it's not that I don't want to contact the master, Hua Li and Liao Si, they can transmit the words they want to say to the master through their heartbeats, and we used this method, but the master doesn't give us a response. If the master doesn't respond, there's nothing we can do, we can only wait slowly."
Jiang Luo laughed silently, "Really?"
"Surely," Ge Wuchen asked rhetorically, "you have some other matter of importance for the master?"
"Teng Bi's business is the most important thing," Jiang Luo said with disinterest, "Since you don't know where he is, hang up."
"Wait."
Ge Wuchen suddenly said.
Jiang Luo, "What else do you want?"
"Grand Master Cheng De of the Da Zhao Monastery would like to meet with Jiang Shi Zhu," Ge Wuchen said in a lowered voice, "to discuss the plan to deal with the Fated One."
Jiang Luo understood his unspoken words in an instant, "You told the Buddhist Sect about the fatalist's serious injuries?"
Ge Wuchen smiled without saying anything, and after a while, he said, ''The Predestined Man is already in a state of serious injury, and is also missing most of his followers. This would be a great time to kill him, you and the host have inexplicably disappeared for half a month, and the host doesn't know where he's gone now, which has already wasted a lot of time. In case the night is long, Jiang Shi Zhu, you can go to the Da Zhao Monastery and have a chat with Master Cheng De. The masters of the Da Zhao Monastery are kind and compassionate and will definitely help you."
