Chapter 85: Instantly Turned to Ashes (This number of words is purely for adding the chapter name, no charge is required.)

After closing the video chat with Huang Yuanguang, Yang Luo sat in the office with a calm expression.

"Lin Heng..."

He chewed the name over and over in his mind, looking at the information belonging to that young man that appeared on the computer desktop, and slowly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Why...you always have to force me?

"Obviously, all I want is a simple and peaceful life, a little power beyond ordinary people, and some freedom beyond ordinary people. But you always force me to come here without mercy... Could it be said that you are just like this?

Do you want to die?"

Yang Luo's body slowly sat up from the chair.

The entire office, as Yang Luo sat up from the chair, became much narrower at this moment. His body exuded a huge momentum, as if the entire space was compressed into an extremely small space.

"Crack."

Yang Luo's muscles and bones shook, and the bones all over his body made crackling sounds, just like piles of snowflakes suddenly being shaken off from the pine trees in winter, and his body showed unprecedented pressure.

There was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then, the ferocious smile grew bigger and bigger, until it evolved into a crazy smile.

"Since you want to investigate, let you investigate thoroughly!

"...Immediately you can go to the underworld and ask Wang Changming, Wang Ruo and Huang Cheng - their murderers - what they are like!"

The office window suddenly opened.

The next moment, Yang Luo's figure rushed out of the window at a speed that could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, and stepped out through the air.

Just before the sound of the sonic boom could spread far, red flames had already shot into the sky.

…

After Lin Heng got home, he lay in bed and woke up from sleep.

There seemed to be some great beast lurking in the dream, chasing him in all directions, making his drowsy sleep full of unpredictable dangers and exhaustion.

Waking up intermittently, then going back to sleep, then waking up again, then going back to sleep.

Probably because I was too tired from work in the previous two days, the accumulated stress and confusion turned into shadows and monsters in my dreams.

However, it seems there's more to it than that.

Although it can be understood as the body's stress response due to long-term fatigue and lack of restful sleep, Lin Heng seemed to have a vague premonition in his heart, symbolizing a gloomy future.

It was a feeling that couldn't be explained by reason.

So when Lin Heng opened his eyes tiredly again at six o'clock in the evening, that feeling was still lingering in his heart, and he could not get away from it for a while.

"call……"

The dim dusk light shines through the thin curtains, dyeing the ceiling with a thin layer of yellow light.

Lin Heng looked at the ceiling with some loneliness, but his mind was filled with all kinds of endless thoughts. Even he himself couldn't imagine what he was thinking at that moment.

The cell phone suddenly vibrated, interrupting Lin Heng's chaotic thoughts.

I picked up my phone and saw a text message from Shen Yunxi.

"Are you awake? I get off work early today and I can come see you later."

Only then did Lin Heng remember that in his intermittent sleep, it seemed that within a few minutes of waking up, he had seen a text message from Shen Yunxi taking care of her, and he had replied to her that he had asked for leave today and was at home.

sleep.

But when I think back on it, those few minutes are like part of a dream.

Obviously I was awake, but when I think about it, it seems like a dream in my sleep.

It was such a tiring sleep this time.

Lin Heng smiled bitterly and replied "Okay" to Shen Yunxi.

Then he thought for a moment and said "thank you" again.

Shen Yunxi returned a smile.

For some reason, Lin Heng suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness, and an urgent sense of attachment came from the bottom of his heart, so he said "It's great to have you" to Shen Yunxi.

The other party didn't respond for a long time.

Just when Lin Heng couldn't help but start to worry.

It was clear that only a few dozen minutes had passed in reality, but in consciousness it seemed that most of the day had passed.

Finally, Shen Yunxi responded to the message again.

"You just suddenly went crazy and almost caused my appendix to be cut in the wrong place!"

Then he sent him an angry emoji.

Lin Heng laughed "haha" and held the phone in his hands. He also knew that his smile should look very stupid.

But the uneasiness and weakness in his heart seemed to be swept away at this moment.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Yunxi asked again:

"What do you want to eat later? I'll bring it to you..."

Lin Heng relaxed his tired body, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he let out a long breath.

"Nothing... let's go out to eat together!"

…

Dozens of minutes later, Lin Heng, who was closely guarding the door of his home, finally saw Shen Yunxi's figure.

The light in the corridor reflected the fine sweat on Chen Yunxi's forehead. The woman smiled sweetly at him.

"Have you been waiting here? You are so good, Xiao Heng."

"...Hey, don't say that."

Lin Heng was a little embarrassed, but he stepped forward and naturally took Shen Yunxi's hand. The latter narrowed his eyes and smiled, deliberately not reminding Lin Heng. This time, his face was not shy at all.

The two walked out of the corridor and the community side by side, discussing what to eat together in the evening.

"Would you like to eat hot pot?"

"I have surgery tomorrow. Eating such strong food today may affect my condition. Do you want to eat ramen?"

"You came all this way to eat only ramen? You'd better eat something expensive..."

"It's too expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford it. Unlike Xiao Heng, I haven't officially been established yet. AA money can't afford it."

"Just let me treat you once."

"Hmph, after all the financial pressure has been borne by you, how will our family status be calculated in the future? Don't try to bribe me with this kind of petty profit. We doctors, the older we get, the more popular we are. You will be in pain for five years in the future. When I retire at the age of sixty, I will still be able to stand beside the operating table and guide my students with great energy~"

The two laughed and held hands and walked side by side on the street.

The street lights illuminated their figures, and vehicles passed by.

In the distant sky, the sunset has already fallen.

Among the dark red clouds, a cold crescent moon rose quietly.

And just under the crescent moon. In the distance, on the rooftop of a high-rise building, a figure suddenly appeared, staring at the two people on the street.

Then he slowly raised his hand and pointed it in the direction of Lin Heng.

At this moment, a large truck passed by the two of them.

"You..."

Hearing Shen Yunxi's high-spirited words just now.

Lin Heng turned his head, smiled and wanted to say something to him.

But at this moment, he suddenly found that the smile just now had solidified in Chen Yunxi's eyes, and was replaced by shock and terror that suddenly appeared.

……Um?

Xixi, what did you see?

Just before Lin Heng had time to react.

--"boom!"

The next moment, a huge sound came from the side.

At the same time, a huge wave of air swept from behind.

At the last moment of consciousness, the image reflected in Lin Heng's eyes was that of boiling air waves and blazing flames, like a lava hell.

And in that violent wave of fire, both himself and Shen Yunxi's body were completely swallowed up by it.

"...Xixi..."

The unspoken words stuck in his throat and turned to ashes in an instant.

I'm so tired today, there's only one update.
