Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The Scorpion Goddess

Merry opened her eyes just in time to see the young man's hand stretched out to her and his half-opened black shirt.Almost at the same time, Mei Li, who was usually a little slow to react, suddenly realized the fact that his collar was torn, and without thinking about it, he slapped him across the face and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?" A crisp sound! "What am I going to do?" The young man was startled and froze in place. Meili didn't expect this slap to be real at all, and she was stunned: "I'm sorry..." "No need." The young man replied lightly, continued to untie his shirt, and then draped it over Meri's shoulders under Meri's shivering eyes, "Put it on."

As expected, he was indeed an iceberg man, he didn't even frown when he was slapped, but his hand hurt from the slap... Meili buried her head, and buttoned up her shirt as fast as she could with trembling fingers: "Thank you, An Yu. " The other party didn't answer, and didn't know what he was thinking.Meili raised her head nervously, and saw An Yu's naked upper body, even if she subconsciously avoided looking, the scars on the wheat-colored chest still hurt her eyes. Those scars caused by unknown reasons have healed, but Mei Li can still imagine how hideous and tragic the wounds were back then, and the bones can be seen deep.No wonder the collision in "Blue Falling Yellow Spring" a few days ago made this tough fugitive unable to get up for a long time...

"What do you want to ask, just say it." An Yu was not used to Meili's peeping, so he cut straight to the point, "I'll ask after you've finished asking." "What's the matter with your injuries?" Mei Li muttered.For some reason, seeing the injuries on An Yu's body, she actually felt pain from the outside to the inside. An Yu didn't expect Meili to ask such an "insignificant" question first at such a critical moment, so she replied lightly: "It's nothing, just a memory of my previous imprisonment." "Why are you in jail?" Although asking this question can be interpreted as a result of curiosity, Meili always feels that her motives are not so simple, as if... fearing a certain answer, but looking forward to a certain answer.

"..." The corners of An Yu's mouth twitched, and finally closed into a slit, "Can I not answer?" "Of course." Meili was a little embarrassed when she realized that she was unscrupulously prying into the other party's privacy, "Then...I stabbed you with the Anka pendant last night, is it okay?" Since Pei Sidu had confidently announced that An Yu would never again It will appear, so where did An Yu come from now?Could it be that he has supernatural powers that God Pei has no way of understanding? "Are you surprised that I'm here to harass you again?" An Yu sneered, "Pei Sidu tried his best, but he didn't expect that his Anka wouldn't work on me. Similarly, he didn't expect that someone could be under his nose Take you away."

"Kidnapped?" The two words made Merry jump up, realizing the shocking fact for the first time, "I was kidnapped? You did it?" However, there was no need for An Yu to answer, Meili immediately denied this idea, because she saw a huge motionless scorpion on the ground not far away, even with its tail curled up, it was as big as a sea bowl!As for such a large and hideous poisonous insect, she would never forget it once she saw it—when An Yu drove her to the theme park from Luweiyu studio, it was this kind of scorpion that attacked them by lying on the car window! What's even more weird is that right next to the scorpion, there is a stone statue as tall as half a man. The face of the stone statue is a beautiful and enchanting woman, but the body is a scorpion with well-defined limbs!

Could this be the legendary scorpion goddess? "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you..." Meili shrank to the base of the wall, staring at the poisonous insect vigilantly, but it suddenly jumped up to sting, "You killed that scorpion? What kind of place is this?" "Where Pei Sidu can't find." An Yu didn't answer Meili's question directly, and kicked the big scorpion to a farther corner, "I just knocked her unconscious." "Then how did you find this place?" Seeing that An Yu was not in a hurry to rescue herself, Meili was secretly vigilant: Could it be that he was really with the kidnappers?But why doesn't it look like...

"It's very simple." An Yu replied nonchalantly, "Grab one of their accomplices, and if she refuses to answer after asking, I'll tear off one of her feet." Why does it sound like eating crabs... Meili felt a chill in her heart, and then thought that the accomplice was probably also a scorpion, and felt a little more acceptable: "Then... how many legs did you break?" "She loves beauty so much, so she confessed without letting me talk about it." An Yu said lightly. Anyway, it was violent enough... After Meili finished her slander, she carefully probed: "Can you let me go home, I can return the clothes to you..."

"It's the safest place here now." An Yu didn't seem to care that she was shirtless, and she simply refused. Safety?Pei Sidu couldn't be found, and the kidnappers didn't expect to be taken to his lair for a moment. Compared to An Yu, an unknown and maverick guy, staying here may be the best choice.But no matter how nervous Meili is, he still can't talk and laugh happily with a big scorpion who will wake up at any time, so he mustered up his courage to struggle again: "But I still have class this morning, and the teacher of linear algebra is a famous teacher in the department." The iron-faced god catcher..."

But this time, the iceberg man extinguished her desperate little flame with one sentence: "It's already afternoon." Meili wanted to cry, but she could only secretly pray that when the teacher mentioned her name, Marysu would be able to answer "yes" for her in a righteous way. "Are you done asking? It's time for me to ask." An Yu suddenly said coldly. Merry nodded hurriedly.There was a case of pulling the scorpion's feet first, and now she is the meat on An Yu's chopping board, how dare she say "no"? Sure enough, Bingshan Man's first question was: "Do you love Pei Sidu?"

If other people ask such a question, Meili really wants to answer him with four words in a cool and dragging manner: "None of your business!" However, she thought that no matter how cool it is, it would not be as cool as An Yu, so she simply gave up the urge to fight against others. Answer honestly: "I don't know. But with his conditions, any normal girl will like it." "Then do you think he loves you?" An Yu asked the second question expressionlessly. "I don't know either." Merry shook her head.She originally wanted to say that she didn't believe that a rich, beautiful, and winged god would really fall in love with a worthless little fat sheep, but she felt that it was too much to admit this in front of An Yu, so she held her head up and supported herself Face, "You want to say that I'm not beautiful enough, but a person with taste... maybe they value temperament more?"

"How does your temperament reflect? Are you good at literature, music, or art?" An Yu continued to speak venomously in an orderly manner, "As far as I know, you seem to be good at nothing." "Nonsense, I have special skills!" Meili blushed, "I...I can run fast, and I can score 95 in the test..." Her voice lost all confidence, even if she could get 100 points, it didn't seem to be the reason why Pei Sidu loved her. "Don't you just want to prove that I don't love him and he doesn't love me?" Faced with An Yu's cold gaze, Meili couldn't help but get angry, "So what? We..." "Then why are you still entangled with him?" An Yu cut off Meili's words forcefully, "Do you know that he will completely ruin your life!" "How do you know what kind of life I'm living in this life?" Perhaps An Yu's tone was too harsh, even though Meili was sympathetic to his prison just now, she couldn't help but burst out at this moment, "I know you're not God is a demon, so you can despise me, a little mortal who is nympho, shallow, and vain, but please don't think you can control my choices!" "I don't want to control you, but I can't just sit and watch you being controlled by Pei Sidu!" An Yu's usually cold face showed a rare expression of regret and regret, "Since you already know that we are not mortals, and Pei Sidu treats you You also have ulterior motives, so why are you still willing to jump into his trap? Could it be that you were really confused by his appearance and wealth? You didn't pay attention to what I told you that day? " "My mind is sound, thank you for your concern." Meili chuckled disapprovingly, "I also remember what you said very clearly: "But——" Mei Li looked sideways at the mural of the Scorpion Goddess and her sisters on the stone wall, and there was a light in her eyes, "You all think that I am being led by the nose by President Pei; but why don't you think that I am also using him ?” "Are you using him?" Meili's answer greatly exceeded An Yu's habit of thinking, and made him vigilant, "Don't you think this idea is like playing with fire?" "It's a bit like playing with fire. But without fire, people can only live in darkness and cold forever." Meili twisted the hem of her black shirt, and suddenly felt that her words were really philosophical, and even the confession behind Much smoother, "My school is not good, I'm not pretty enough, I don't have any specialties, and I don't have any family background, so although I am still studying now, my life in this life can be roughly imagined: I can barely find a job after graduation. Working to make ends meet, marrying an ordinary husband, running around for the house and children all his life, and finally sinking into the trivial world, arguing with the vegetable vendor all day long over a few cents, the greatest joy is washing the dishes every night After watching soap operas... When I die, I will only feel that my life has not passed tens of thousands of days, but that I have repeated the same day tens of thousands of times. You don't have to deny it, my life is destined to be so pale and boring , Sometimes even I don’t know what I am living for.” "Merry..." "But the appearance of Boss Pei has changed everything." Meili ignored An Yu, fearing that she would not have the courage to continue, "No matter whether he was lying to me or acting on the spot, he still gave me a girl Everything I dreamed of. Admittedly, even though I never believed in my heart that he would love me, I couldn't help being moved by him, just like Cinderella knew that the prince would fall in love with him only if she became a princess, but it didn't matter. When she was cleaning the dust, she was full of love and longing for life because of the vain love of the prince. I am a Cinderella. I never expected to marry the prince. I only hope that when I die of old age, I can proudly recall: There was once a prince who loved me, and my life was brilliant and brilliant, not as boring as you imagine... I know that playing with fire has the risk of self-immolation, but if I am doomed to escape the mediocrity and bleak life, I will Rather struggle to hold on to this little fire, like that song you once sang to me—" "Which song?" An Yu was quite surprised, "Do you remember that song?" "Well, the song you sang underwater before you killed me." Meili looked up at An Yu and tried her best to recall, "I remember one sentence: 'The future can be seen right away'..." "The future that can be seen through at a glance / the difficult escape / love to me is not the desire of immortality / the heroic dream of an ordinary life..." An Yu sang these few lines softly, and the surprised expression slowly returned to calm, " I understand, compared to the danger brought by Pei Sidu, what you can't stand is the mediocre and gloomy life day after day...Meili, it turns out that you have never changed..." "Is it like this in my previous life?" Meili saw a trace of sadness flashing across An Yu's dark eyes, as if there was a thin layer of ice that would shatter if she touched it lightly, "The song you sang, It was written for me?" Otherwise, how could his singing voice be so deep that her heart would tremble every time she heard it? "What happened in the previous life is over, what you should consider now is how to get out of the crisis." An Yu looked at the strange appearance of Meili in a black shirt and a white dress, and finally sighed, "Well, I'll send you back to change clothes first , if you have any relatives or friends to turn to, don’t live alone anymore. The person who kidnapped you today may not value your life.” "But my former relatives have been forgotten by me..." Meili twisted up the corners of her clothes again, depressingly realizing that she is not the protagonist of a romantic fantasy drama with no danger at all, and the development of the situation has greatly exceeded her ability to bear. Can't help staring at An Yu, "Where else can I hide?" For a moment, she suddenly wanted to hear him answer: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." "You can move back to the school. Where there are more mortals, they will be more scruples." An Yu intentionally or unintentionally avoided her gaze, and proposed without any originality. "No!" Meili suddenly remembered Chen Zhiwei's indifferent expression, "I won't go back!" Seemingly aware of the dangers in the school, An Yu didn't insist anymore, but just listened attentively: "They are coming back, let's go now!" "Where are you going?" "Find a random place first, and then we'll figure out a way!" Meili nodded, and quickly followed An Yu towards the door of the stone chamber.She suddenly felt a little funny, it was An Yu who threatened to kill her before, but just now she thought of him as a savior! What a dizziness!Why should she trust someone who killed her in a previous life?In the dream, isn't he also like this while being tender and painful while killing the killer? In fact, she never understood An Yu's thoughts. "I remembered that there was someone who could help me." There was a dark corridor outside Shiwai, Meili stopped, determined to get rid of her inexplicable dependence on An Yu, "Can you send me to Mrs. Yin?" Although the first person who thought of It's Teacher Li Ping, but Meili doesn't want to drag this last reliance into the whirlpool just yet.What's more, An Yu is still hard to distinguish between good and evil. "Why?" An Yu paused, as if realizing Meili's hidden suspicion, his voice suddenly became as cold as the scar on his back. "Because..." Meili swallowed, "Because she is the goddess Isis, I heard that Isis is kind and loves to help people... Besides, I made a wish on her in the theme park, so I am a little worried... ..." For a long time, An Yu didn't answer, but just led Mei Li through the labyrinthine corridors.Finally, when Meili thought that An Yu would not care about her anymore, a man's calm voice sounded in the darkness: "Well, at least their mother and son still need you for the time being." And some hopes will not be reconciled until they are shattered. Meili didn't dare to speak any more, but followed An Yu silently.She felt in a trance that the suspicion just now had more serious consequences than the life key that pierced An Yu's chest last night.She regretted it a little, but she didn't know how to redeem it.But why did An Yu keep secret about killing her in her previous life?She obviously gave him a chance to explain... "Or, let's not go..." Mei Ligang said eagerly, and suddenly a strong force pushed her down, pushing her straight into the corner of the corridor.Before Meili could cry out in surprise, a hand had already covered her mouth, and a deep and melancholy voice sounded beside her ears: "Hide here and don't move!" Are the kidnappers chasing him?Meili nodded obediently, and then felt that An Yu let go of her, and purposely walked into another corridor. A sound of "crackling" came from not far away, reminding Meili of the "stormy pear blossom needle" often described in martial arts novels, and he couldn't help shrinking closer to the corner of the wall. The hearing in the dark became more sensitive. Although no one made a sound from the beginning to the end, Meili could still vaguely distinguish the sound of something jumping and moving—is An Yu avoiding the attack of the poisonous scorpions?He was stung by a scorpion last time, so he won't be poisoned this time, right?He was her only life-saving straw now... Meri listened nervously, but couldn't discern any redundant information. Even the sound of "cracking" just now disappeared, and there was a deathly silence in the darkness. A terrifying thought suddenly popped up in Meili's mind: An Yu, he...he couldn't be dead, right?Even though he was stung by a poisonous scorpion and stabbed in the heart by Pei Sidu's Anka before, why was she so panicked this time? Is it simply because of the fear of being left alone in the dark?Or has his concern for him exceeded his expectations? During the suffocating wait, a gust of wind suddenly flashed in front of him, and the familiar voice sounded in his ear: "Go!" Thank God, he was not stung to death by the poisonous scorpion!When Meili was about to stand up, he realized that he had almost lost all his strength, and the clothes soaked in cold sweat were sticking to his back, which was so cold that it made people want to sneeze, so Meili covered his mouth in a panic. nose. "Quick!" An Yu grabbed Meili's hand in desperation, twitched violently as if holding a spike, and then held it tighter and more firmly.He drew a vertical line in the darkness with his free palm, and the original solid stone wall of the corridor instantly cracked a gap, just for An Yu to pull Mei Li and slip past. "Let them escape!" Before the re-closed gap in the stone wall, a woman's panting voice sounded angrily, "Boss, what should we do?" "What should we do? Naturally, we should ask the Lord of Darkness to give us an explanation!" The woman called "Boss" sneered, and pulled out a black figure from behind, "Ghost, don't you think so?" "I was only focused on tracking the princess' aura just now, but I really didn't see who took her away... Ah—" Before the ghost could finish speaking, there was a sudden scream, and he fell to the ground and couldn't stop rolling, "Everyone Goddess, forgive me, forgive me..." "This is a lesson for you 'not seeing clearly'!" "Boss" kicked the ghost with the toe of his shoe, "Did you see clearly this time?" "I see it clearly, I see it clearly!" the ghost wailed, and defended unwillingly, "But the young master didn't hurt the five goddesses... Ah, I was wrong, I—" "You have no place to speak here!" "Boss" silenced the ghost's voice impatiently, "Go and tell your lord that his dear son has broken our covenant. I want to see, for How will he deal with this betrayal?" The darkness above her head slowly moved away like a mobile phone sliding cover, sending fresh air and bright sky light to Meili, she couldn't help but turned her face, and looked at An Yu worriedly: "Are you okay?" "It's okay." An Yu jumped out of the tunnel first, and suddenly smiled coldly at Meili, "Actually, how do you know that I will treat you better than those kidnappers?" Looking up at the exit that was as tall as a person, Mei Li cheekily stretched out his arms towards An Yu, and angrily replied, "Bet on your intuition, can't you?" "Okay." An Yu paused, and took Meili's hand. Holding An Yu's hand and crawling out of the tunnel, Meili was surprised to find that he was already standing in the imperial garden with a super green rate, and the hole they climbed out of was closed like a mobile phone slide cover, covering the All secrets hidden. "Who dug these tunnels?" Meili asked curiously, thinking that it could reach every corner of Forest City due to its extensive connections, which is more than enough for tunnel warfare. "The Lord of Darkness." An Yu observed the surrounding situation carefully, and answered briefly. "Who is the King of Darkness?" Meili immediately had a black-clothed and black-robed Grim Reaper appearing in Meili's mind, carrying a scythe around the streets at midnight, but during the day, he could only hide in his own tunnel and curse the sun while sharpening the scythe. However, An Yu didn't encourage Mei Li's diligent study and questioning at all. Instead, he warned him coldly: "The less you know, the safer it will be for you." "Oh." Meili lowered her head dejectedly.She admitted that what An Yu said was reasonable, the characters in the novel who knew more about the inside story would die faster, of course, there was a very important premise - they were not the main characters, but cannon fodder. That's why An Yu didn't even want to tell herself the identity of the kidnappers or the terms of the ticket redemption. Although he keeps saying that he has the self-consciousness of being cannon fodder, Meili still can't help being a little sad-because a similar analogy is that it doesn't matter whether the little sheep knows who the butcher is. Because it only has the life of being slaughtered. From this point of view, An Yu is much more hateful than Pei Sidu who eagerly encourages him to save the world. An Yu never expected that his words would attract so much resentment, he just listened to Mrs. Yin's door, and gently rang the doorbell.Meanwhile, Mei Li looked around guiltily, fearing that she and An Yu, who were dressed in strange clothes and shirtless, would attract the community security to check. For a long time, no security guard appeared, but no one came out to open the door. "Is Mrs. Yin okay? I didn't make any random wishes to her..." Thinking of what happened to Manager Mo, Meili panicked for no reason. However, isn't the murderer who killed Manager Mo by his side? An Yu made a silent gesture, and gently pushed the door of the villa—the door opened! Seeing that An Yu walked into this eerily quiet villa first, for a moment, Meili just wanted to turn around and run in unison, but the unwillingness in her heart made her stop in her tracks—since she was the one who suggested If you want to come here, you must not let An Yu look down on her!If there is a chance to guess An Yu's secret name in the future, she will definitely let him taste the feeling of being bitten by ice balls! With such lofty ideals in mind, Meili followed An Yu and stepped into Mrs. Yin's villa. Passing through the entrance, there is no difference between the dining room and the living room on the first floor, but the unreasonable fear made Meili want to grab An Yu's clothes and hide behind him.However, she immediately discovered sadly that the most tragic thing in the world was when she stretched out her hand and suddenly found that An Yu had no clothes... "Are you here to kill me?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in the empty living room, and Mei Li let out an "ah" in fright, and jumped behind An Yu in one step. "No, aunt." An Yu stood where she was, calmly looking at Mrs. Yin who seemed to appear on the sofa out of nowhere, "I just want to ask you to find a dress for Meili." "The clothes are in the closet on the second floor, you can get them yourself." Mrs. Yin leaned on the sofa, her voice seemed a little hoarse from exhaustion, "Just now Chilin came, and it really took me a lot of effort to get rid of it. " An Yu didn't respond to Mrs. Yin's words, but turned to Meili and said, "Go upstairs and change your clothes." Although Meili was surprised that An Yu called Mrs. Yin "Auntie" and didn't know who "Red Lin" was, she was still full of doubts and braved up to the second floor. "You go, my son is coming back soon." Mrs. Yin waved to An Yu weakly. "I happened to have something to ask him." An Yu saw that Mrs. Yin seemed to be injured, and as a hostile party, no matter it was out of favor or respect, it was not appropriate to spy on her side, so An Yu nodded, " Meili stay here first, I will talk to him outside." After speaking, he bowed slightly to Mrs. Yin, opened the door and walked out of the villa. There were people walking by in the community outside the villa, but no one could see the young man with his upper body topless.An Yu looked up at the sky, quickened her pace and moved a little further away from Mrs. Yin's villa. There were some things he didn't want Merry to hear. "Why are you here?" Pei Sidu obviously didn't expect to see An Yu again, even though his hands were still leisurely in his pockets, his sudden and stagnant footsteps still couldn't conceal his surprise. "You think you can send me back to the Temple of Karnak with an Anka?" An Yu replied coldly. Pei Sidu smiled: "If Anka can't do it, I think the Lightning Whip can always do it." He glanced at the numerous welts on An Yu's body, and deliberately emphasized, "Why, you haven't tasted enough of it yet?" "I didn't come here to challenge your authority." An Yu saw that Pei Sidu's eyes were not friendly, and knew that he hated him so much that he might do something at any time, so he just wanted to clarify why he came, "I'm here to talk to you about Meili... ..." "What qualifications do you have to talk about Meili with me!" Before An Yu finished speaking, Pei Sidu's right hand was pulled out of his pocket, and a long whip with flaming light fell on An Yu's head like lightning, "Go back to where you should be !" "You self-righteous idiot, just wait for your complete defeat!" An Yu rolled over and narrowly escaped Pei Sidu's whip, and then was forced speechless by the shadow of the whip that hit like a torrential wind. "Who says I will fail, I will succeed soon!" Pei Sidu flicked his whip twice, seeing that An Yu was dodging blindly, unable to fight back, he couldn't help but feel elated, "Eliminating you is just a matter of effort, but I will I'll let you lose!" As he said, he put away the lightning whip with a wave of his hand, but took out the latest iPhone from his pocket, opened a picture and shook it in front of An Yu, and then brought the winner Appreciating An Yu's face gradually pale with a smile. At first glance, the photo is a popular selfie style. On the large screen of the mobile phone, there is a couple hugging tightly: the girl's arm is around the man's neck and on his shoulder, and the whole person is like a vine clinging to the on the man. She stared at the phone camera with her eyes wide open, with a mischievous smile on her lips, as if announcing to the world that she was immersed in sweet love. The man in the photo is Pei Sidu, and the girl with shoulder-length hair beside him is Meili. Really Merry.An Yu stared closely at the face on the screen. Although it was only a photo, he used his eyesight to make sure that he didn't miss a single bit.It's just that compared to Meili, who is usually a little reserved and shy, the girl who is ignited by love in the photo looks more energetic and radiant, and the affection in her eyes can drip water. Even the best actors can't perform such satisfaction. smile. "No, it's impossible..." An Yu just wanted to concentrate on the suspicious things in the photo, but Pei Sidu dragged away the next photo with a swipe of his finger, and asked with a complacent smile, "I still have a lot here. Don't you want to read them all?" Sure enough, there are many photos, all of them are photos of intimate couples without exception, and the degree of intimacy rises more and more intensely.Obviously, almost all of these photos were taken in a luxuriously decorated Western-style restaurant. "Don't you believe me? I just took her to an expensive French meal, and she said she loves me, promised to marry me, and even fell in love with a Tiffany diamond ring..." Pei Sidu saw Ann Yu just stared at Meili's expression on the photo, as if he was determined to find signs of fraud or being confused by magic, so he mocked contemptuously, "Stop wishful thinking, don't you want to see what the world has become now? Materialistic desires, money first, women all over the Internet are signing 'begging for support', not to mention that my image is completely transformed according to the princess's request, even if I am a fat and bald old man, she will love me because of my power I...why, uncomfortable? Of course, if I would also be uncomfortable, who would have thought that she could not stand the temptation and would want to come back when she risked her life to help her escape from the deep palace and the God Realm?" "So, mortals are greedy and humble." Pei Sidu concluded coldly, "They are always pursuing what they can't get, even if this thing was once resolutely abandoned by them." An Yu didn't listen to what Pei Sidu said, he just stared at Meili's indulged and yearning expression on the photo, and Meili's unconscious call from the stone room echoed in his ears: "I am willing to marry you and serve you forever and ever Mr. Pei, help me..." At the most helpless moment, she actually called Pei Sidu for help!And she was always vigilant and suspicious of everything he did. In this way, her explanation to him was nothing more than an excuse to cover up her fascination with money and beauty. Fortunately, he still wished to think that she hadn't changed from before! The current world is no longer what he used to be familiar with. At that time, people could sacrifice everything for a sacred belief, but now they think about how to get more. However, even if he knows that the current Meri is not the Meritamon of the previous life, why does he always lose the most rational judgment in front of this superficial and hypocritical modern person? "Go back to your prison!" Seizing the moment of An Yu's loss of consciousness, Pei Sidu suddenly pulled out the lightning whip, and whipped it at An Yu... However, the accident happened at this moment.
