The Midnight Owl

Chapter 142 - candle



Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai were standing at the door, and their hearts seemed to be run over by thorny wheels and broken into pieces, bloody.

It’s not them who are slapped, but they would rather be them.

Snapped.

Snapped.

Snapped……

The frequency of slaps gradually slowed down. The image was aching and the body shook more and more. Every time he fanned, it took longer than the last time hesitated.

The voice of “I was wrong” also began to become weak.

Finally, he stopped completely, trembling and gently raised his head, looking at the void in front, as if there was an invisible monitor standing there.

Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai also looked at the void involuntarily.

At this moment, in the empty space where there was nothing, suddenly a black shadow slowly condensed. At first glance, the figure of the shadow is an adult man, tall and majestic.

Moonlight outlined the outline of his profile, and Kang Jinxin shivered subconsciously.

It is Chi Yingxue ’s father, even if there is only a silhouette, he can recognize it!

Black Shadow tilted his head and looked at the thin figure, and suddenly raised his hand the next second.

The child’s figure shuddered and fanned himself again: “I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong …”

The crackling applause is denser and harder than before. His fear overwhelmed the hesitation, and the slap in the face slaps his face instead of introspection rather than begging, begging the other party not to do it by hand, he can come by himself. Really.

Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai can’t stand it anymore. The two figures at the moment are not illusions but real people in their eyes! Everything in front of me was so alive and bloody!

The two rushed into the room, Kang Jinxin went straight to the thin figure, Qian Ai yelled at the silhouette of the tall man: “You **** is a beast at all–“

With this curse, the money dart came out sharply, attacking the tall black shadow faster than Qian Ai, like a sharp knife!

The black shadow could not dodge, the money dart hit him in front of him!

At the moment of being hit, the black shadow dispersed silently, and the money dart penetrated the dust, and “bang” was nailed to the floor tile.

Beside, Kuang Jinxin has put his thin figure in his arms.

As in the previous room, he still couldn’t see the face of the little black shadow, and even his body couldn’t actually touch it. He hugged him like he held a soft, cool mist, he knew he was there, but he couldn’t use force, as soon as he pressed, he hugged himself.

Just so gently, Xiao Heiying stopped her own slap, but she still said, “I’m wrong, I’m wrong …”

Kuang Jinxin interrupted him: “You are right, you are not wrong …”

His eyes are sore, his throat is bitter, and he must exercise utmost restraint in order to keep his voice unchanged.

“I’m wrong……”

“you are right.”

“I’m wrong……”

“you are right!”

The dialogue is repeated meaninglessly, like the ball moving forward at a constant speed on a straight road with zero friction, never stopping, never ending.

Qian Ai wanted to stop it, but he saw the rare stubbornness in Kuang Jinxin’s eyes. When he came to his mouth, “Don’t waste your energy”, she swallowed it again.

I don’t know how long after that, the mechanical dialogue may have been repeated hundreds or thousands of times, and the small ball moving forward, finally stopped.

“I am right?”

The little black figure looked up, hesitating, hesitating, with a trembling voice, that was the last hope in the ashes, the last spark.

“You’re right.” Kuang Jinxin repeated the thousandth and the tenth.

Qian Ai squatted down and said without hesitation: “What is wrong is that bastard! He is not worthy of being a dad! Bah, he is not even qualified to be a person!”

The familiar goose yellow halo lights up inside the house.

The black shadow in Kuang Jinxin’s arms was scattered, scattered in the swaying candlelight, and scattered in the gradually warm air.

Qian Ai was puzzled. This has happened twice. As soon as the candle came, the little black shadow disappeared. But now he has no time to ponder the deep meaning. No one knows when the candlelight will go out. Taking advantage of the light, it is the right thing to quickly find the badge.

Seeing that Jin Xin was still squatting on the ground, maintaining a hug posture in a daze, Qian Ai slapped him on the shoulder: “Don’t be stunned, or as usual, you look for the wall, I look for the ceiling and the floor tiles.”

Kuang Jinxin stood up silently. He hadn’t recovered from his previous discomfort, but he knew how to prioritize. He still walked quietly to the wall and quickly looked up.

Qian Ai sighed and stopped talking.

Not to mention the situation of Jin Xin, he is now blocked so badly, he wants to scold others with his mouth open, and he wants to give the beast a stick with his hand raised.

The silent badge search quickly came to an end, as in the previous room, without any gain.

Heaven, earth, people, and.

Now only the [and] room is left.

Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai stood in front of the door of the last room and looked up at the wooden sign with [and] engraved on them, feeling particularly ironic.

with.

This house, this dark room, where is “harmony”?

They only saw pain, fear, and coldness.

Raising his hand to touch the door panel, Qian Ai hesitated. He didn’t know what else to see inside. This kind of uncertainty made him panic.

Turning his head to look at Jin Xin, he smiled bitterly, trying to use ridicule to dilute some anxiety: “I seem to have a psychological shadow about opening the door …”

Kuang Jinxin didn’t hesitate at all: “Brother Qian, if there is that **** shadow inside the door, you will just pick up the money dart.”

Qian Aitou met his classmates in such a burst, and hesitated for a moment: “What if the shadow is a good person this time?”

“Impossible.” Kuang Jinxin was decisive.

The sound of “I was wrong” echoed in my ear again, and Qian Ai’s eyes sank: “OK, listen to you.”

“Squeak–“

The door opened.

A scent of food spoiled, and people were sickened instantly.

The two partners covered their mouths and noses together and looked intently at the house.

This time, there was no one in the middle of the room.

The thin, thin figure shrunk in the corner, holding a large bowl of unclear food, and was slamming into his mouth, as if it was the taste of mountains and seas, at a slower speed, it would be snatched away.

But Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin can only smell the sour and bad smell of the food, just like the swill that was pulled away by the cart behind the restaurant.

The figure was skinny and skinny. It was smaller and weaker than the black shadows in the first two rooms. Especially, he was still shrinking in the corner. If he didn’t look carefully, he couldn’t tell if it was a child, more like a wild cat and wild dog in the dark. Hungry and thin.

“I can’t do it anymore, I can’t see this,” Qian Aibie turned his head and sucked his nose hard. “Is this a fake, right?” He seemed to ask Jin Xin, but he also convinced himself, “This is a dream, a fantasy. … “

He kept talking, but the more he said, the stronger the feeling of confirmation in his heart.

This is Chi Yingxue.

Childhood trauma, psychological shadow, dual personality-even if he has only seen multiple personality cases in TV series, he can easily follow a logical chain.

“Why …” He didn’t know how many times he asked. In his limited brain, he couldn’t think of any reason why a child could be treated so cruelly.

“No matter why, he should be damned.” Kuang Jinxin looked at the dark shadows in the corner. For the first time, from the heart to the bottom of his eyes, it was cold.

There is no reason why a child can be abused in this way.

The initiators should be frustrated.

This was the most extreme moment in Kang Jinxin’s life, he couldn’t control his anger, even for a moment, the intention to flash in his heart.

Fortunately, the shadow of the adult did not appear again in the room, and nothing further stimulated his emotions.

After taking several deep breaths in a row, he finally suppressed the messy thoughts, raised his arms, and opened the stationery box …

[Owl: Someone used yo ~~]

Qian Ai didn’t hear the prompt, only saw a huge piece of orange-scented cake suddenly appearing on the ceiling in the room. The next second, the cake slammed to the ground, but it was not broken, only the soft cake embryo with the cream on it Shivering, and then stabilized.

The cake is made of cheese chiffon embryo, with orange sauce and cream in the middle, and there is a gingerbread figurine on the cake, piled with orange soda sugar as high as a hill.

Qian Ai didn’t want to observe such details, it was really a professional instinct, but when the observation was finished, the saliva was three feet away, and suddenly he reacted to something that surprised him even more-Kang Jinxin can also control the taste of the cake? !

The last time King Yan used “Romantic Afternoon Tea”, he was on the scene. At that time, the scene could only be described as “a mess of chaos”. You simply can’t predict what will fall in the sky. The next second is flooded with cream Death, or burned to death by coffee.

I was about to ask, and suddenly I heard the sound of the rice bowl falling and the cracking of the tiles.

Qian Aixun looked around, and saw that the little black shadow stood up swaying, not thinking about the broken rice bowl, and approached the cake a little bit.

He was limping, as if he was wounded, but the straight course was betraying his desire.

Finally, he came to the cake, but he didn’t reach out, but just stood there and took a deep breath, breathing in one bite after another, as if smelling the smell, it was enough to be happy and fulfilled.

Moreover, Jin Xin stepped across the entry threshold half a step, and Xiao Heying suddenly flinched.

He retracted his foot again and squatted at the door, looking at the little black shadow: “Please eat.”

Little Black Shadow hesitated for a while, and finally did not resist the temptation. He stretched out his fingers and hooked some marmalade and licked it in his mouth.

His height was right against the marmalade, and he wanted to eat cream and jumped.

“Please eat.” Kuang Jinxin repeated it again, encouraging, “After eating, there are, how much, how much, what taste, what taste.”

Little Black Shadow turned to look over.

In the dark night, nothing was clear, but Jin Xin felt like he saw it.

He saw the little Chi Yingxue, carved with jade, and was as beautiful as a milk doll.

Little Black Shadow turned back to look at the cake again, and suddenly jumped up the next second, holding a large piece of cake with cream on it, and couldn’t wait to stuff it in his mouth.

Qian Ai squatted down next to Kuang Jinxin and, like his teammates, kept a distance that assured Xiaoheiying, and watched him quietly.

It was all gobbling, but at the moment, only the sweet smell of the cake remained in the room. The taste of the previous rancid food, just like the guilty person who can’t see the light, fled and disappeared.

“Actually, these cakes were supposed to be eaten by Daxue,” Kang Jinxin talked to the little black shadow with a smile, the voice was very light, and the children were innocent and gentle. Awkward guy … “

He said to himself, regardless of Xiaohei’s disregard, it seemed that he just wanted to say that it didn’t necessarily need anyone to listen: “I promised him that the next time I entered the owl, he would use ‘romantic afternoon tea’, But I did n’t say credit … “

“I actually want to see, if I don’t take the initiative, will he come and ask me, I know he must remember …”

“But he just didn’t speak, and clearly remembered to die …”

“This time it’s better, he doesn’t want to eat anymore …”

“If he can’t help it in the future, if I really ask, I will say to Xiao Xue, OK?”

Qian Ai listened, the more he listened, the more spirit he never knew there was such an episode between the two teammates. No, what surprised him even more was that when Jin Xin had a bad heart, he could even make up for how much injury Chi Yingxue had.

But he still stood on the side of Kuang Jinxin without hesitation. Chi Yingxue ’s awkward personality needed to be beaten at the right time, and then pampered, it was easy to slip into the dangerous abyss …

“belch–“

Suddenly Hiccup burped.

Qian Ai recovered, only to find that the cake had been eaten by nearly a third, and Xiao Heying’s belly was round from the side.

He was hesitating to dissuade him. After all, a hungry meal is not good for the body. Overeating is as undesirable as hungry eating.

Suddenly Hiccup burped again.

Then a candle was lit in the corner.

The candlelight illuminates the room, and the black shadow spreads, leaving only a third of the cake, still exuding a rich orange fragrance.

Kang Jinxin closed his eyes and lifted the stationery effect.

The cake disappeared slowly, and the room was completely empty again.

“What exactly does this candle mean?” Qian Ai wanted to ask long ago, “Why is the shadow gone when the candle comes?”

Kuang Jinxin looked at the candlelight and wrinkled his eyebrows for a long time, and finally stretched out: “When there is light, you are not afraid of darkness.”

Behind the candle, there is light at the seam between the wall and the floor tiles, like a star.

Kuang Jin and Qian Ai looked at each other, got up and rushed to the next second!

The brought wind swayed the candlelight, and in the swaying warmth, the reminder finally arrived–

[Owl: Congratulations on finding a 9/23 **** badge! 】

Just as the sound in their ears disappeared, they suddenly smelled a tangerine smell, which was completely different from Kang Jinxin’s previous cake. It was refreshing and jumping, just like a glass with ice in the summer … orange soda!

“Chi Yingxue!” Kuang Jinxin shouted and ran out quickly.

Qian Ai slowed down half a beat and hurried to keep up, but his head was ignorant: “What Chi Yingxue—”

“This taste is Chi Yingxue, he likes to drink orange soda!” Kuang Jinxin is almost certain now, it is this seemingly non-sense taste that led him all the way here, whether it is subjective or unconscious, indeed Chi Yingxue is indeed leading him!

Where is another orange soda? This smell is very similar to the smell when he woke up in a coma in the front yard. Was Chi Yingxue by his side then? Or does it mean something else?

by!

Qian Ai gave up thinking, who left him behind, and deserved to catch the plot, just run with it!

Kuang Jinxin followed the four rooms of [and] [person] [land] [day] along the way of the taste, and when he crossed the last room, he finally saw the black shadow in the veranda not far away. When separated from Xu Wang and Wu Sheng, the black shadow chased is exactly the same!

Kuang Jinxin sprinted at the fastest speed, and could not help but grab the shadow of the shoulder and blurted out: “Xiao Xue …”

In a flash, the shadow disappeared.

He grabbed an empty space, leaving only the cold moonlight in front of him.

“Boom–“

There was a trembling movement of boulders beside him.

He turned his head with Qian Ai, who had just chased him, and the high wall that closed the area into a narrow strip, with no end in sight, was slowly collapsing.

The gravel floated up and covered the night sky.

“Old money ?!” The sky was full of dust, and there was a surprise call from the wall.
