Chapter 1065 - 1036: Another Soul (2)
How could Xiao Lin deny the reality before him? His fingers brushed over those familiar devices, identical hobbies, and a whole jar of lollipops. If he guessed correctly, there should be two entire rows of milk placed on the third and fourth shelves in the refrigerator. As if seeking confirmation, Xiao Lin opened the fridge.
His eyes were a bit hazy, and in that moment, he suddenly felt like escaping; perhaps he didn’t truly want the result.
"Who are you? Why are you in my house, and why did you open my fridge?"
Even the voice was the same? Xiao Lin inhaled bitterly and closed the fridge. "It’s me!"
Tang took a step back, instinctively feeling this person was dangerous. "Should I know you?"
He was a Rainbow, every part of his body showcasing that this person’s shell was Rainbow. "I’m Xiao Lin! You should know me. Rainbow!"
"Why are you also calling me by that name? You must know that handsome brother, meaning you must be the one who went to the little black room to find him!" Tang kept his distance and moved to the window. "Did you just say your name is Xiao Lin? Hua Qingyi also thinks I should know you, but in reality, I don’t know you."
The same shell yet inhabited by a stranger’s soul! His pitch-black eyes reflected his own image, and Tang reluctantly turned away. Until now, only his master would make him feel this way, unable to meet their gaze directly. And this inexplicable person intruding into his home also had this oppressive presence. The key point was why meeting this person would make him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Mu Rongyun! Does this name sound familiar?" Xiao Lin blinked, took a deep breath, and asked the question he least wanted to ask.
"How can you call the master’s name directly?"
Master? Xiao Lin was moved when he heard these two words, and Tang shrank back in fear. From those pitch-black eyes, he read sadness and anger.
Just as Xiao Lin was about to step forward, a few silver lights forced him back to the side. The silver light grazed Tang’s cheek, shot in from the window behind him. Xiao Lin let out a fierce cry, decisively leaping past Tang and darting out from behind him. As he landed on the ground, a few more silver beams fell, hitting the ground before his feet. It was this small obstacle that caused Xiao Lin to lose the initiative. When he looked up, the shadow was already gone.
Attempts to return to Tang’s house proved difficult. Xiao Lin looked at the small head poking out from the windowsill. This was no longer the Rainbow he knew. Just moments ago, when he brushed past him, the cold sensation that struck his heart wasn’t fake. That wasn’t a normal person’s body temperature; it was the temperature of a dead body. Tang’s body temperature was even colder than a corpse.
Feeling nothing under such a gaze is a lie. Very seriously, Tang began contemplating whether he should truly know this person named Xiao Lin. When he looked at him, it was mostly with sorrow, except when the master’s name was mentioned just now, he was very angry. Watching Xiao Lin’s departing figure, Tang wondered whether he should go ask the master?
Meanwhile, in a forgotten corner of Palermo, three figures silently entered a very ordinary residence.
The moonless night always brings a mysterious hue to such evenings. The wooden stairs creaked anciently underfoot, and the sound of breathing added intangible fear to this seemingly uninhabited house until one among the three couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke up. "Mr. Shao, whom are we going to meet here?"
"Shut your mouth unless you’re told to speak. If you end up disturbing this person, I won’t be able to save you." Shao Weihua viciously dropped the remark and indeed didn’t speak again. Wang Zhanting glanced at his brother; he was the last one walking. Judging by the building structure, this building seemed to have grown a bit, almost directly from the ground to the sole doorway at the top. Connecting the top and bottom of the three-story house, only this upward staircase remained, supported by brackets on each floor. He couldn’t discern the owner’s personality from the setup; it’s a hollow place, not like a residence, filled everywhere with dead air.
Shao Weihua’s heart was tense, feeling as if his heart was about to leap out of his mouth. A drop of sweat began to fall from his forehead to his chin. After wiping it clean with a towel, the three had already crossed the second floor heading towards the third.
A wisp of white ghostly shadow floated in the darkness, gracefully passing over their heads. The timid Wang Zhantian couldn’t control his scream, nearly wetting his pants. If not for Wang Zhanting behind him holding him up, he might have already rolled down the stairs at the moment his head was stepped over. Feeling ashamed from the bottom of his heart, Wang Zhanting exerted force to turn Wang Zhantian’s scream into a cry of pain, reluctantly turned to glare at him, "Stop embarrassing yourself; that’s a human, not a ghost!"
This time, Shao Weihua didn’t turn back to scold because he’d seen the white figure was a woman, a pure woman like an angel, a woman more deserving of the title Angel than Adam Gadmon.
"Fourth Master!" Shao Weihua respectfully lowered his head towards the woman in front of him. The clever Wang Zhanting also followed suit, lowering his head. Only the lustful Wang Zhantian was already bewitched until he received several heavy slaps on his cheek, not knowing who had done it. The woman spoke up, her low voice slowly resonating in the air.
"Shao Weihua, you’re late!"
"I’m sorry! Just on the way, the police station was bombed, so there was a bit of road congestion." Only three minutes later than scheduled.
"That’s not an excuse, so for those three minutes, you should know how to make it up." Fourth Master’s cold attitude scrutinized the three from above, causing Wang Zhanting to frown. This was someone he had heard of before, a terrifying woman, a woman the underworld competed to associate with, an expert in pharmaceuticals, a woman as beautiful as a virgin. Some even rumored she was the one who once created HTC4. Seeing her today for the first time, he felt a sudden impulse he hadn’t felt in years as a man. This woman’s presence could stir a man’s desires.
"I understand! Shao will repay threefold for this. Rest assured." Besides respect, there was constant flattery. Who could make this man act with such reverence and humility? Wang Zhanting couldn’t help but speculate: might this person be the big shot supposed to stay central? It doesn’t seem so! "Today, I’ve brought the Wang brothers along with their family heirlooms to present." (To be continued.
