Chapter 1161 – I Ask, You Answer
”Injured?”
Baili Chubby froze.
”Didn’t you notice? His left foot is a bit strained when he walks, he should have twisted it, and his arm is a bit stiff when he releases the umbrella, although he is trying his best to hide it, but this kind of thing, a discerning person can see it at once.” Lin Qiye slowly said.
”Could it be that the road was too slippery on a rainy day and he fell?”
”…… There is this possibility.”
Lin Qiye was silent for a long time, but still stood up from the eaves of the house, held up a black umbrella, and walked straight towards the door, “I’m going out, I’ll be back soon.”
Lin Qiye walked through the open iron gate, turned the corner of the alley, reached out and gently pressed his hand in the nothingness, a red-eyed black shadow then stood up from the rainwater and bowed slightly with one hand on his chest:
”Caretaker Black Hitomi, at your service.”
”I want to see all the images on this road, within the past half hour.” Lin Qiye calmly said.
The black pupil nodded and his figure immediately transformed into a black shadow that climbed onto Lin Qiye’s body, and a single red-eyed eye suddenly opened at the center of his brow.
The crimson eye overlapped the images he saw onto Lin Qiye’s retina, and the remnants of past times flew by like a rewinding videotape in front of Lin Qiye’s eyes.
Old man Liu’s figure walked out of the iron gate backwards, disappearing all the way to the end of the drizzling rain.
Lin Qiye, dressed in civilian clothes and wearing a black umbrella, with a single red eye under the umbrella’s brim emitting a faint shimmering light, walked calmly forward along the rainy path.
Finally, he saw a few different figures at a corner two streets away.
It was four or five early-thirties, fierce middle-aged men with either tattoos or hideous scars on their shoulders, who took big strides with cigarettes in their mouths and walked aggressively towards the alleyway where the Cold Mountain Orphanage was located.
While walking, their lips opened and closed, seemingly saying something.
Black Pupil’s [Secret Peeper] could only see the past and couldn’t hear the sound, so Lin Qiye could only simply surmise through their opening and closing lips that their destination was the orphanage.
While at this time, Old Man Liu, carrying a loaded convenience bag, walked out quickly from another street in the rain.
The punks did not see Old Man Liu, while Old Man Liu saw them.
Old man Liu’s face instantly changed, he looked at the Dongtan Lane not far away, and then looked at the back of the punks who were rushing straight to the orphanage, his face showing a look of anxiety.
He hardly hesitated, firstly, he placed the convenient bag full of vegetables and meat in his hand carefully under the stone pier by the roadside, and then rushed out with an arrow step, shouting something while running towards those punks.
Those punks heard the sound, turned around and saw old man Liu, first froze, then sneered and rushed over with big strides.
They yanked up Old Man Liu’s collar and viciously said something, the latter stubbornly held his head high, and then was punched into the muddy roadside field, the rain poured down on his body, soaking him all over.
Immediately after that, the gangsters swarmed up and punched and kicked the old man Liu who was curled up on the ground for a long time before they spat twice and walked away with curses.
Old man Liu lay in the field for nearly a minute before slowly climbing up.
He coughed in his old age, his hands trembled slightly as he patted away the sludge on his body, hobbled over to the stone pier, lifted up the clean dishes and meat, looked complexly in the direction they left, sighed, and walked a little bit in the direction of the orphanage.
Watching that back gradually disappear into the remnants of time, Lin Qiye’s palm holding the umbrella handle couldn’t help but clench up tightly, and the bones of his fingers began to turn white.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and moved his gaze away from the direction that Old Man Liu had left, looking towards the road that the group of punks had left on, his eyes erupted with icy killing intent!
”Black pupil ……,” Lin Qiye spoke morosely, “Lead the way.”
”Yes.”
In the heavy rain, the figure held a black umbrella and disappeared above the deserted street like a ghost.
”Come! Drink!”
”Tsk, this shitty weather, what a bad mood.”
”Isn’t it, it’s raining so heavily, there are still two debts to be collected at night …… Grandma, tonight I bring a knife to go, which little punk doesn’t pay back the money, I directly give him a few knives!”
”Those tens of thousands of tens of thousands of dollars, are small money, if you can drive that old man and a group of motherless brats away, that is really earn money!”
”Indeed, Li’s money is really generous, this one vote is worth ten votes of our usual work.”
”No, tomorrow we’ll go to that orphanage again and make a scene, even if we have to use a knife, we’ll drive them away.”
”Come on, come on, let’s drink up first!”
Under a shed supported by a plastic sheet, five men were gathered around a low table, each carrying a bottle of beer and tilting their heads back to drink.
The pouring rain hit the plastic sheet and rolled down the slope to the ground, making a fine clattering sound, and one of the men with a scar on his face finished a whole bottle, then placed it on the table and burped:
”Cool! Not I blow ah, when I was young …… hmm?”
His words did not fall, suddenly found this small table around, seems to be a little crowded panic, slightly drunkenly raised his head, his eyes in the crowd’s face in turn swept through.
One, two, three, four, five …… six?
How come there are six people?
The scarred man rubbed his eyes, and his gaze fell on the extra sixth person beside himself.
That is a young man in his early twenties, the face is very unfamiliar, his feet placed a black umbrella, rainwater along the umbrella bone a little bit dripping on the ground, from the scope of the water halo, has been sitting here for a long time.
Scarred man’s pupils suddenly shrunk, the wine energy instantly went down most of the time, he violently stood up, almost directly overturned the table filled with bottles of wine!
”Who the fuck are you you?!”
As soon as the scarred man got up, the others also came back to their senses and stared dead at the ghostly young man in front of them.
Lin Qiye sat quietly on a wooden bench, a long snow-white sword laying horizontally on his knees, his eyes like the waters of a lake on an autumn day, his ancient waves unperturbed.
”I’ll ask, you guys answer.” He spoke faintly.
”Grandma, fuck him!”
Without saying a word, the scarred man directly copied the bottle on the table and smashed it against Lin Qiye’s head, his face fierce and sinister.
Ka-!
Lin Qiye sat there and didn’t move, but the long knife on his knee suddenly blurred with a flash of a blade, slicing off the entire arm of the scarred man carrying the bottle, flush!
”Ah !!!!”
Painful screams echoed under the shed.
The drenching blood spilled like a waterfall on the ground, and the other gangsters stared wide-eyed, already completely dumbfounded, as they looked at Lin Qiye sitting on the bench in horror, like they were looking at a plague god!
The scene in front of them had completely exceeded their perceptions, one of the gangsters raised his foot to flee, and the next moment a flash of a blade cut off his foot, and his entire person staggered and fell to the ground, screaming miserably.
Lin Qiye sat in front of the wretched short table, his eyes calmly sweeping over everyone’s faces as he faintly repeated:
”I ask, you guys answer.”
