Chapter 974: Riding a Whale on This Day
Rain poured down during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road wanted to break their souls.
It was not yet Qingming in Luo City, but everyone on the streets wore mournful faces.
Everyone had a small white flower pinned to their chest to pay tribute to that respected elder.
The intersection of the street outside the campus of Qinghe University was cold and clear, people would put down a bouquet of flowers at the intersection as they passed by, the peonies and spring flowers that had bloomed in the entire Luo City just after the arrival of spring were all picked here.
It was like a sea of flowers.
Some people said that if Mr. Jiang Xu was still around, he would have criticized everyone, the flowers were on the branches, they should not have been picked, and everyone could just enjoy them from afar.
But some people refuted, if Mr. Jiang Xiu is no longer here, who would still be in the mood to enjoy the flowers?
The students of Qinghe University stood in silence on the street, and several of them cried and fainted, and it was only after Jiang Xu’s accident that afternoon that they realized why Jiang Xu suddenly had to take that lesson.
It turned out to be the last lesson. It turned out that Mr. Jiang Xu had a premonition of his death.
However, in the hour before his death, Mr. Jiang Xu was still laughing and joking, and when he met his classmates while walking on the campus road, he would still respond amiably.
Therefore, he proposed that he wanted to walk alone, but also afraid that Zhang Chentong was dragged down by him.
A person who knows he is going to die can still be so calm and comfortable, this is the greatest candor, right?
On this day, the city of Luocheng was filled with mourning, and the only one who could do this in this era was Jiang Xu.
Not only within Luo City, but also outside of Luo City.
Nowadays, because of the war in the north, several people fled towards the Zhou clan in the south, and when they learned of Jiang Xu’s death on their way to escape, they would also make a special walk to put down a bouquet of flowers outside of Luo City.
However, the people’s view on Jiang Xu’s death was by no means as simple as mourning, and the opposite of mourning was anger.
On the streets not far from Jiang Xu’s death, people pulled up banners to condemn Wang, and some even found Wang Shengzhi’s portrait and began to burn it among them.
They did all this just because it was hard to accept Jiang Xu’s sudden departure.
This era is an unfortunate one, simply because disaster never leaves, people are displaced, morals begin to crumble, and the law is gone.
However, this era also had its own light, and it was because of all this hardship that the light in that dark crevice was born.
Outside of Luocheng, Luo Lan and Zhou Qi arrived with wreaths in their hands, and he went to the gate to submit his visa paperwork, something Qing had done for him long ago.
Only the Luocheng garrison stationed at the gate was surprised when they saw Luo Lan’s documents, Luo Lan? The Luo Lan from Qing’s?
You have to realize that everyone now thinks that Wang killed Jiang Xu, they all think that Wang has gone crazy.
And the Qing Clan, as the consortium that Wang Clan has been targeting, Luo Lan suddenly ran to Luo City at this time, really not afraid of death?
Wang Clan’s closest barriers to Luo City, the drive was only three hours, if Wang Clan’s army arrived, Luo Lan’s several lives would not be enough to die.
The soldier guarding the door glanced at the wreath Luo Lan was carrying, only to see simple words written on the elegy:
Riding a whale on this day.
When will you be able to ride a crane?
After entering the city, Luo Lan walked slowly in the eyes of the crowd, walking all the way towards the place where Jiang Xu had an accident, because there hadn’t been a memorial service yet, so his wreath could only be sent there.
As for whether or not he could attend the memorial service, it depended on whether or not he was still alive at that time.
However, right now Luo Lan was too lazy to think about those things.
On weekdays, Luo Lan dressed in a gangly manner, looking not at all like a bigwig of a consortium, but rather more like a big lord who mixed with the underground world.
Today, Luo Lan put on a black suit, but looked particularly solemn and dignified.
The matter about Luo Lan arriving in Luo City to offer condolences to Jiang Xu slowly spread, and when Luo Lan walked on the streets, everyone would subconsciously keep a distance from him.
In the rain, Luo Lan’s eyes looked ahead, he came to the place where Jiang Syu’s accident happened first bowed deeply, then said, “Old sir, I started reading your articles from a very early time, and I have always admired you very much in my heart, and I’ve seen too many dark and gray things even when I’m in the consortium, so I know better than they do that wanting to stick to the principles you insisted on in this world is how difficult it is.”
“I know that you and Corn are on good terms, he and I are very, very good friends, so I can also be considered your junior, if your spirit is still here, please accept my call.”
However, Luo Lan waited for half a day after he finished speaking, and the world didn’t change in the slightest.
He finally sighed, it seemed that Jiang Xu was unwilling to pay attention to him.
As a matter of fact, this ability of the Ying Ling God’s Temple was very cruel to the deceased, the matter of people dying and not being able to come back to life was originally a rule of heaven and earth, so resurrection was likewise subject to punishment.
In the Hall of Spirits, all the spirits must fall into a deep sleep when they are not summoned out, it is boundless darkness, and the only thing left in their lives is to protect the host of the Hall of Spirits.
The hosts of the ability would become stronger and stronger, but this was actually very cruel to a once living person like a Yingling.
Luo Lan had awakened in Barrier 61 and summoned 12 Yinglings, but they were all old men who had followed him for a long time, and the Yinglings had only willingly become part of the Yingling pantheon in order to protect him.
Moreover, when the host of the Spirit Temple summoned a Spirit, it was an equal dialog, and if the other party refused, the host could not force the summoning.
Luo Lan stared blankly at the flowers that filled the street as he once again bowed deeply, “If I’m not dead in a few days, I’ll come back to see you at the memorial service.”
At this moment, four hundred meters away from here on a high building, there was a sniper dressed in black silently observing Luo Lan from his scope, he had a white earpiece in his ear and said, “Permission to shoot.”
“Permission to shoot.”
However, right at this moment, the sniper suddenly felt a huge force behind him lifting him up hard, and the moment the sniper pulled the trigger, the muzzle of the gun suddenly skewed.
The sniper turned back hastily, but saw a teenager with a face as heavy as water lifting him in his hands.
As the sniper shot rang out, Luo Lan on the street suddenly looked over to the side of the tall building, and when he saw the silhouette of the teenager upstairs, a hanging heart was put back.
Ren Xiaosu had come, it was like every time Luo Lan was in a nine-death situation, the other party would come as promised.
Luo Lan stood in place and smiled, “Now it’s time for us to settle the score with those demons and ghosts.”
Zhou Qi said as if nothing had happened, “You only dare to say that because Ren Xiaosu, the killing billet, has come.”
“Then what else?” Luo Lan asked rhetorically, “Being protected by you, I don’t have much security at all ah ……”
At the same time, the sound of gunshots not only attracted Luo Lan’s attention, but also attracted the attention of those demons and devils in Luo City, after they realized that their sniper companion was attacked, hundreds of black-clothed people came out from the residential buildings, shadowing and surrounding towards the building.
