Chapter 123

"Bang, bang bang—"

After three beeps, no one answered the door.

Hidden in the darkness, Gu Xi paused slightly with his hand on the door knocker.

From waking up to now, one year is enough.

Enough, she faces any situation.

Gu Xi took a deep breath and exerted a little force on his hand.

There was only a "creak" sound, and the dilapidated courtyard door was easily pushed open.

In the small courtyard, weeds are overgrown, and there is almost no place to stay, as if no one has lived in it for a long time.

In the night sky, thick clouds moved slowly, covering the last ray of deserted moonlight.

Darkness covers the earth.

The night wind blows towards the world.

At the same time, Gu Xi stepped into this dilapidated small courtyard.

In an instant, depression, gloom, dilapidation, distortion, anger, sadness...all kinds of negative emotions rushed to my face.

Gu Xi walked towards the depths of the small courtyard without changing his expression.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The petite figure of the girl quickly disappeared in the depths of the grass swaying in the wind.

In the middle of the night, the wind is rumbling, and the vegetation can become soldiers.

Those negative emotions that rushed to her face, with her slow and firm steps, also quietly receded like a tide, as if they had never appeared before.

But the vague and uncertain aura lingering on Gu Xi's body never left.

A few minutes later, Gu Xi walked through the dilapidated courtyard, and finally stopped in front of a gray-white metal room.

She calmly looked at the electronic screen in front of her, remembering that night that year, the slightly drunk Li Ming once said...

His favorite number is 7, seven sevens.

The password is entered correctly.

The door of the metal house slid open in front of her silently.

The space inside is not big, the surrounding metal walls are mottled, and there are even a lot of bloodstains, Gu Xi walked in without changing his expression.

The door closed silently behind her.

A synthesized metallic sound sounded above her head—"Please enter the passphrase, repeat, please enter the passphrase."

Gu Xi thought of something, couldn't help but smiled, then looked up at the roof, and said: "Please enter the passphrase, repeat, please enter the passphrase."

"The passphrase is correct."

The metal house sank slowly at a steady speed.

A few minutes later, the metal door opened again, and Gu Xi came to a black hall deep underground.

A dark and thin man stood guard by the door, looked her up and down vigilantly for a while, and then moved out of the way.

Gu Xi frowned slightly, and the little green bud wrapped around her wrist calmly.

After passing through the long underground corridor, Gu Xi looked at the familiar house number in front of her eyes, and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, when a tall and strong man covered in black robes pushed the door and stopped her. way to go.

He narrowed his eyes, stared at Gu Xi coldly, and sized him up unscrupulously: "New here?"

The man's eyes seemed to be looking at some valuable goods, but the emotion in Gu Xi's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Get out of the way." She glanced at him calmly, and the little green shoot came out suddenly, and turned into a sharp thorn in the next moment, directly touching the man's eyebrow.

Now, the man in black robe looked at Gu Xi with fear instantly.

at this time.

"Xiaoxi?"

An old but gentle voice came from behind the two of them.

Gu Xi subconsciously turned around and looked back, it was Li Ming.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, with a black blanket on his legs, his hands slightly curled up in front of him, skinny as a stick.

The whole person exudes a gray and defeated breath.

The warm smile in his eyes is still vaguely the same as before.

Gu Xi walked over calmly, squatted down, firmly held those skinny hands, and raised her head slightly: "Brother Ming, it's me."

In the past, the youth who yearned so much for the light, but now choose to stay in such a dark place?

What has Li Ming experienced all these years?
Gu Xi didn't dare to ask, and also, couldn't ask.

Because she knows better than anyone else how proud her Brother Ming is.

"It's good to be back." Li Ming's face was still pale, he held Gu Xi's hand behind his back, his eyes were obviously a little moist, "It's good to be back."

at this time.

"Ah! My eyes."

The man who was pinned against the gate of life by the sharp thorn suddenly let out a scream.

Gu Xi was silent for a moment, then looked up at Li Ming, Li Ming nodded.

The underground black market is such an environment, just give some lessons.

After recalling Yabao, Gu Xi got up and walked behind Li Ming, pushing the wheelchair, and walked towards the end of the corridor.

Along the way, she seemed exceptionally silent.

Li Ming probably sensed something, turned around and asked her: "Xiaoxi, are you angry with yourself?"

In front of the world, the invincible and extremely powerful blood-colored Shura, in Li Ming's eyes, has always been the little girl who loves to eat fruits, so simple and straightforward that people can see through her mind at a glance.

Gu Xi shook her head, silently pushed Li Ming into the room, turned around and closed the door.

Li Ming's room is very simple, except for a bed and a cabinet, there is nothing.

It's not like a place where a person lives at all.

Li Ming followed her gaze, coughed a few times, and explained, "I'm moving out tomorrow, so..."

Gu Xi withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Li Ming: "Because I'm back, you plan to move overnight? Brother Ming, what are you afraid of?"

Li Ming smiled, "Xiaoxi, don't be angry..."

"I'm not angry." Gu Xi sat cross-legged on the ground, looked up at him slightly, and suddenly said, "Brother Ming, my ability is probably about to be upgraded."

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that he bent down and grabbed Gu Xi's hand, a little unbelievable: "Really? Your ability..."

Gu Xi looked down at the hands that were holding her, they were as skinny as sticks, but they were surprisingly hot.

Following these hands, she slowly raised her eyes. Li Ming's eyes were full of shock and excitement, but with a hint of uneasiness.

"Xiaoxi, does anyone else know about this?" Suddenly, Li Ming asked with a solemn expression.

The god level is already a legend in the world of supernatural powers, attracting countless people to covet it, if Xiaoxi's supernatural powers can be upgraded...

Gu Xi shook his head slowly.

Li Ming sighed and looked at her disapprovingly: "Xiao Xi, you shouldn't have told me about this."

"But I want to tell you." Gu Xi pulled out a hand, patted the back of Li Ming's hand reassuringly, looked up at him, and solemnly declared: "Brother Ming, I'm back."

Gu Xiaoxi, stronger than before, is back.

So, you don't have to move anymore, and you don't have to be afraid anymore.

Because, from now on, no one can hurt me again.

Li Ming understood something from her eyes, and squeezed Gu Xi's hand tightly, "Okay, listen to the captain."

Originally, he just felt that now is not the best time to meet, and this underground black market is full of fish and dragons, and it is not a suitable place to meet, so he planned to leave overnight.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xi found him so quickly.

But Li Ming is worthy of being Li Ming, he quickly restrained all his emotions, he pointed to the bed beside him, and motioned for Gu Xi to sit on it.

But Gu Xi didn't want to move.

Li Ming looked at her helplessly: "Be good, the ground is cold and damp, sitting for a long time is not good for the girl's health..."

It turns out that you also know that this is not good for your health?Gu Xi glanced at him, then slowly moved to the bed.

Li Ming slid the wheelchair and sat beside her helplessly.

The little green bud jumped out of Gu Xi's hand in an instant and wrapped around Li Ming's wrist.

The two grew up together and fought side by side for many years. They only need a look to understand each other's thoughts.

Li Ming didn't struggle, and silently cooperated with Gu Xi's movements.

It's good that neither of them has a sentimental temperament, and they soon got down to business.

"This time Zhou Jinyu asked you to come to the central base, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Li Ming raised his hand and pulled the tender sample on the top of Yabao, frowned and said: "As far as I know, there have been frequent internal transfers in the Ability Research Institute recently..."

"Is it because I want to intervene in the matter of seeds? Or is the success of the reverse evolution experiment of plants making some people restless?" Gu Xi asked with his head tilted.

Li Ming shook his head: "This is just a superficial reason."

After speaking, Li Ming fell silent.

Gu Xi keenly sensed that something was wrong with Li Ming's mood.

The next moment, she suddenly realized something: "Is it because of my appearance? The people behind the Ability Research Institute can't sit still? Or... What did Ye Xin do?"

"...You guessed it all?" Li Ming glanced at her in surprise, and let the little green bud slide down his arm and into the position of his heart.

After a while, he sighed blankly: "Xiao Xi, maybe I blamed Ye Xin wrongly back then. But now, I can't see through her anymore."

Gu Xi frowned slightly, but did not rush to conclusions.

It is said that people's hearts are changeable, she was thinking, if she was Ye Xin, no matter what reason she entered the Ability Research Institute back then, but now that she has come to this point——

Right, status, fame, Ye Xin has all of them now. It can be said that she has reached the pinnacle that many people can't reach.

But just at this time, she, the old captain of the past, came back.

So what will Ye Xin do next?

Gu Xi couldn't help but think of the names of those people Ye Nan sent a few days ago...

It has been almost a year since she came back, it is impossible for Ye Xin to know now.

But she chose to send those names when Zhou Jinyu came to talk to her about cooperation.

Obviously, Ye Xin had hesitated before...

But why should she hesitate?
Are you worried that you won't be able to cope with the situation in front of you?Or... are you testing your attitude?Or...someone said something to her?
There may be too many unknowns, and every point is worth pondering.

Li Ming looked up at Gu Xi who was looking down and thinking, feeling the renewed vitality in his body, and his mood was quite complicated for a while.

After a while, he said with emotion: "Xiaoxi, you are not the same as before."

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, but quickly restrained herself, she smiled frankly: "Because I, the captain, always have to grow up."

Although, the price of growth is a bit high...
