The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Chapter 105 Jiangcheng 38 Why did it run away?

After walking a distance, Wen Li swallowed a few pills and couldn't help but complain to Si Xiaxia.

"Shen Yingsi likes me? How stupid would someone have to be to say something like that? Right, Si Xiaxia?"

Upon hearing this, Si Xiaxia forced herself to reply, "Actually, host, I think so too."

Upon hearing this, Wen Li suddenly realized that Si Xiaxia was also dumbfounded.

Just then, Xie Xiao came in from outside carrying a river lantern.

"Oh! Wen Li, you're awake! We were so worried about you while you were unconscious for so many days."

Thinking of what Wen Mingzhu had just done, Wen Li felt disdain.

Worried? Forget it.

Wen Li glanced at the river lantern in his hand and asked, "What are you doing with these river lanterns? The Thousand Lantern Festival ended a couple of days ago."

"It's in the past, but I have many sisters and cousins ​​in my clan, as well as my mother. I think they would like these pretty things. When I return to the capital, I will bring them back for them. You have no idea how beautiful the Lantern Festival in Jiangcheng is. All kinds of river lanterns practically cover all the rivers in Jiangcheng. It's a pity..."

After saying that, Xie Xiao looked at Wen Li with a resentful gaze, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity you didn't see it."

Wen Li snorted coldly and said nonchalantly as she walked forward, "Oh, that's a real pity."

Xie Xiao didn't care about Wen Li's attitude. After all, she dared to go and save Fourth Brother all by herself, and from that point of view, he felt that it wasn't impossible for Fourth Brother to like her.

Just as she stepped out the door, she heard Xie Xiao's voice again: "Wen Li, next time, next time you have the chance, you must go to the Lantern Festival with Fourth Brother!"

With whom? What holiday?

Why is everyone so crazy when I woke up?!

Seeing Wen Li's expression as if the world was full of idiots, Si Xiaxia quickly explained.

“I swear! I’ve worked with novel world systems for so many years, how could I not know what it’s like to like someone? I had my doubts before, but now I’m 100% sure. You don’t know that when you were unconscious, he secretly came to see you many times, and several times he sat motionless watching you for hours. He personally prepared many of your medicines, and the medicines he used were incredibly expensive. I saw all of this with my own eyes, there’s no lie.”

Wen Li thought about the image of Shen Yingsi staring at her without moving, and felt a chill run down her spine.

"Could he be trying to harm me? I've been unconscious for ten days! How could I be unconscious for so long! Maybe it has something to do with him."

Seeing that Wen Li didn't believe her, Si Xiaxia became very anxious: "Host, believe me, he really likes you."

Wen Li couldn't understand: "That's impossible. What does he like about me? Does he like me scolding him? Or does he like me poisoning him?"

Si Xiaxia was initially incredulous, but after thinking about it for a long time, she realized that she couldn't use the common sense to speculate about the protagonist in a novel.

"Based on my experience reading novels, the male protagonist in a novel likes those who don't like him. Think about it, he's had so many people like him since he was a child, so when suddenly someone doesn't like him, he'll definitely feel special. Maybe the first time you meet him, when you scold him, he's thinking, 'Woman, you've successfully caught my attention.'"

Wen Li simply couldn't understand any of this; she really found it hard to believe.

Stepping out of the Zhao residence, the streets were bustling with people.

As you travel along the river out of the city, you can see the river lanterns that have burned out all along the way.

I just missed the legendary Lantern Festival on the 17th, what a pity.

"Alright, let's not dwell on that. By the way, what was the good news you mentioned earlier?"

"This is it!"

"This one? Which one?"

The protagonist has a crush on you!

"That's it! What kind of good news is that?"

Si Xiaxia said excitedly, "This is fantastic news! He likes you, so he'll definitely listen to you. That will make it so much easier for you to stop him from destroying the world!"

If he likes you, he will definitely listen to you.

What is the logic?

Wen Li stopped paying attention to Si Xiaxia; for her, the most important thing now was to investigate the Jiang family's case.

Peach Blossom Lane is not recorded on any map of Jiangcheng.

Wen Li could only ask passersby for directions, but even few people in Jiangcheng knew about this place.

Wen Li asked around outside the city for four or five hours, but couldn't find anyone who knew. It was already very late, so she had no choice but to return to the city and the Zhao residence.

She walked slowly down the road, cursing Si Xiaxia as she went.

"Si Xiaxia, you idiot, are you just trying to fool me? There's no such place!"

"Host, I've already told you, don't rush. The area around Jiangcheng is so large, it's obviously difficult for you to find it by yourself. You can go back and find Zhao Sicheng first, and ask him to send people to look for it."

Hearing Si Xiaxia mention Zhao Sicheng's name, Wen Li's headache started again.

First, there was the Zhao family's swordsmanship, and then a monster appeared in the back mountain of the Zhao family. Is the Zhao family really as simple as described in the book?

Having just woken up and run around aimlessly, her body was already at its limit. She couldn't find her way, and her mental support snapped. Wen Li stood there, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Why couldn't you be faster? Why couldn't you tell her the truth right away?

It was already quite dark, and there weren't many people left on the streets. The night vendors had long since packed up, and apart from a few houses with lights peeking out, most people were already fast asleep.

On the street, it seemed that only Wen Li was walking in the dark.

Wen Li was standing still when she suddenly started to feel pain in her body. She clutched her chest and squatted down on the ground, and blood began to seep from some parts of her body again.

"Host, I've told you to be careful. You've only just woken up. You can't be in such a hurry. You have to believe that you'll find out the truth sooner or later."

Will it? Really?

She could bear the pain in her body, but she felt dizzy and inexplicably nauseous. In her daze, she thought of Jiang Yanhong again.

Is she watching her right now?

"Wow! How beautiful! Host, look! There are so many river lanterns!"

Hearing Si Xiaxia's exclamation, Wen Li slowly looked up and saw a luminous river, like the Milky Way on earth.

Tens of thousands of river lanterns illuminated the river, which flowed through various parts of the city, lighting up the entire urban landscape.

There are so many stars tonight; looking up, they are countless, and looking down, they seem to have fallen to earth.

Wen Li got up, moved closer, and slowly squatted down by the river, carefully observing each river lantern that floated past her.

There are lotus flower designs, peony designs, lantern designs, and various small animal designs...

The light from the river lanterns illuminated Wen Li's face, revealing a once aloof and arrogant demeanor now replaced by one of docility and vulnerability. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her petal-like lips were slightly parted.

"It's so beautiful!"

She reached out and touched the little rabbit lantern with a smiley face painted on it, and her previously flustered and confused heart calmed down.

Wen Li took a deep breath and stood up. Suddenly, she felt like she was invincible again. Now that she had a clue, she might be able to solve the Jiang family's case soon!

The city of Wuhan is truly beautiful tonight.

"Host, who did you think put these here? There are so many. Is today some special day? And everyone is asleep so late. Who are they showing these to?"

Who is it for?

Upon hearing this, Wen Li looked around and realized that she was the only one standing outside. The street was deserted; not even a dog could be heard barking, even though there had just been a few pedestrians.

Wen Li suddenly turned around and ran back, then kicked the door of a house on the street and rushed straight in.

"What's wrong? Host! What are you doing?"

Wen Li didn't answer, but quickly walked in. There was a dog lying at the door.

Wen Li kicked the dog but saw no reaction. She quickly went to the inner room, where a couple was sleeping.

Wen Li kicked them a few times: "Wake up! Hey!"

Seeing that no one was reacting, Si Xiaxia began to get scared.

"Host, this, this..."

The two people on the bed were motionless. Wen Li checked with her hand and found that they were still breathing. She kicked the bed.

The bed collapsed instantly.

Bang!

After the loud noise, there was only silence again; no one was awakened.

She was all alone here, all alone...

"Quickly! Host, go check on the others at the Zhao residence!"

Wen Li ran out and started running wildly forward in the street.

As she ran, Wen Li also saw several passersby lying on the side of the street.

She stopped, went over and kicked the fallen passerby twice, but the passerby still didn't react.

He still couldn't wake up no matter what he did.

So she continued running forward, and for such a long distance, the river lanterns never stopped shining, but the same beautiful scenery now gave her a chill.

Why did it run away?

A questioning male voice boomed in the darkness, and Wen Li stopped and turned around to look behind her.

Suddenly, a person appeared on the street she had just run through. He was dressed in black and wore a mask with a half-smile and dripping red tears.

"Shen Yingsi".
