Wear a Thriller To Protect the Boss

After conquering Xia Ming's dead soul and killing Tong Xin, who had done a lot of evil, the three of them stayed in the Tong's house for a while to recuperate.

Yin Yun has too many questions, and he is very concerned about what Pei Yi experienced during the period of separation from him.

"Senior Brother, where did you go before? Since you are fine, why haven't you come to me?"

Pei Yi looked down at the tea in the cup, with a low tone: "This is a long story. In short, I just got out of it recently."

"...The people who killed Master took you?"

"Yes, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to figure out their true identity until now."

Yin Yun sighed: "It doesn't matter, at least now you and I are reunited. As long as our brothers are together, sooner or later we will find out the truth and seek justice for Master."

Pei Yi nodded slowly: "Yes, that's right."

At the end of this sentence, his state was no longer quite right. He leaned back on the wooden chair, closed his eyes and panted, his face gradually showing a morbid paleness, and the hand resting on the table was also forced by secretly. The joints are prominent, and the veins are fully visible.

"Senior Brother?" Yin Yun was quite surprised. He was anxiously preparing to step forward to inspect, but unexpectedly he was grabbed by Huo Yinting behind him, "...what's wrong?"

Huo Yinting also didn't know why she suddenly reacted like this subconsciously, but she was really not at ease, because after leaving the dark room of Tongxin Refining Gu, Pei Yi began to faintly exude an indescribable sense of danger.

Because of her mission, she is responsible for Yin Yun's safety, so for the sake of insurance, she decided to be more cautious.

"You back off, I'll come."

She walked up to Pei Yi, pondered for a while, tentatively put her hand on the back of his cold hand, and whispered his name: "Pei Yi?"

She didn't get an answer this time.

"Pei Yi? Open your eyes and look at me."

Pei Yi seemed to be completely trapped in a nightmare, his heart fluctuated violently, and his breathing became more and more rapid. At the same time, Huo Yinting didn't ignore it. There was a red line slowly extending along the blood vessels in his neck, like a winding vine, very light in color, but shocking.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when she was about to touch the red line, Pei Yi suddenly opened his eyes. The pure black pupils were already filled with terrifying blood at this moment. He gritted his teeth and drew out his backhand in the next second. The willow leaf dart on her waist pierced her lute bone fiercely and decisively.

Yin Yun was shocked when he saw this: "White Bird!"

"Stay honestly, don't come over." Huo Yinting was very calm. She quickly pulled out the willow leaf dart, wiped the blood that was constantly gushing out of her hand, and then pressed the blood to Pei Yi's eyebrows.

But seeing the glimmer passing by, she single-handed the struggling Pei Yi with one hand until his frantic symptoms eased and he passed out again, and then slowly relaxed her strength and turned to cover the wound.

Unexpectedly, she was actually attacked by Pei Yi, maybe because of him, she would be unsuspectingly hit.

Fortunately, she is now a sparrow, and the human damage to her is not that serious.

"Are you okay?" Yin Yun was a little dazed, and didn't know whether he should go to help Pei Yi or Huo Yinting first, "I... how could he be like this, my brother?"

Huo Yinting took the handkerchief he handed to stop the bleeding. She sat on the floor and sighed helplessly.

"The specific reason must be explained in person after your elder brother wakes up. The only thing I can determine at the moment is that he is controlled."

Huo Yinting put Pei Yi in a coma and settled on the bed in the guest room of the Tong's House. She subconsciously unbuttoned Pei Yi's clothes, ready to figure out the source of her sudden madness, but she was stunned when she was halfway through. She saw Pei Yi's collarbone, near the mouth of her heart, scars all over her eyes, she didn't know what kind of inhuman torment she had suffered before.

It seems that every time he travels to a world, it is Pei Yi who suffers the most. In order to follow her footsteps and assist her in her mission, he does not know how much pain he has paid.

She was silent for a long time, and suddenly heard very light footsteps behind her, turned her head, and found Yin Yun was standing not far away.

Yin Yun saw that her expression was not right, and he hurriedly stepped forward to see this scene. He stopped where he was, his eyes became gloomy and angry for a moment: "Damn, who is so cruel to the brother!"

"You have to ask him yourself." Huo Yinting's heart was like a heavy boulder, gloomy and dull. She took a deep look at Pei Yi who was lying on the bed, and then walked out the door, "Take care of your brother. ."

She couldn't express too much worry about Pei Yi, lest Yin Yun had unnecessary doubts. Moreover, she felt that Yin Yun should and hope to be alone with her senior brother.

After all, Pei Yi here is not only Pei Yi, but also Yin Yun's only relative.

As the sun sets, night falls.

Yin Yun guarded Pei Yi and sat quietly for a long time. He hadn't slept well for several nights. He was squinting his eyes and half awake. He suddenly felt that someone was putting his shoulder lightly on his shoulders, and he straightened his back and woke up.

"...Brother?"

Pei Yi retracted his hand, turned to strenuously propped up his body, leaned on the bed and looked at him: "If you are tired, go to rest, I don't care."

"Does it really matter?"

"Um."

Yin Yun rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. Suddenly, he saw the criss-cross brown scars on Pei Yi's body that he had just seen before. He felt a dull pain in his heart. For a while, he even cried in his voice: "Brother, You shouldn't keep it from me. If you don't tell me the truth, who can you trust?"

Pei Yi comforted in a low voice, "Don't be sad, am I still alive?"

"So all the injuries you have suffered are proof that you are alive?"

"you saw it?"

Yin Yun nodded sadly: "I saw it, but Shiratori discovered it first-before that, you just pierced her lute bone with a willow leaf dart."

Pei Yi's expression was stunned, and he was incredibly unbelievable: "I hurt Yin Ting?"

"Yes, but it's not too serious. She is a sparrow and has a strong self-healing ability."

Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, and finally responded with self-blame: "I wronged her."

Regardless of the severity, she was ultimately because of his injury, so how could he not care.

"White Bird does not account for such trivial matters. Compared to this, we want to know what exactly have you experienced?" Yin Yun didn't notice the strangeness in Pei Yi's words. He held Pei Yi's hand tightly, his eyes gleaming. Floating, almost imploring, "Brother, tell me, who caused you to be like this?"

Pei Yi slowly raised his hand to press on his heart, and the light and shadow in his eyes were dark: "I don't know where they came from, I only know that this is a mysterious organization."

"Mystery organization?"

"They didn't kill me at the beginning, they just took me to a completely unfamiliar place. From then on, they started the never-ending process of testing medicine-there are still many young psychics like me, no one can escape, just Can passively become their drug puppet."

Yin Yun had also heard some rumors about testing drugs before, knowing that this kind of thing could be called annihilating humanity, only felt that his back was cold: "Is it a test for psychics alone?!"

"I can't give a specific explanation. They are very cautious when doing all this. Even the testing location is changing from time to time. It is difficult to reach the sky if you want to find them."

"Then... what kind of harm will the test drug cause you?"

"As you can see, the scar that will never fade away, and the sequelae that will happen at no time-I will attack everyone indiscriminately during the attack, just like crazy."

The tone of Pei Yi's narration was very flat, or rather, the narration was deliberately so flat, so as not to add psychological pressure to Yin Yun. It should be noted that at the place where the drug was tested, he would see the psychics in the same cell killing each other every day, some died halfway through, and some were like him, luckily living to the end.

He is not Yin Yun's real brother, but he has already accepted everything that his brother has experienced.

However, Yin Yun could still imagine how hard it would be to survive such painful years.

"So Brother, you... how did you escape?"

"When they tried to transfer the surviving psychics again, I found an opportunity on the road. I almost lost half my life, but finally succeeded."

"Yes, yes... thank God..."

Pei Yi laughed self-deprecatingly: "In any case, you and I can still meet, it's luck."

Tears flowed from Yin Yun's eyes, and he hugged Pei Yi hard, as if he would disappear when he let go, stubbornly like a child.

"Senior Brother, from now on, unless it takes my life away, the two of our brothers will never be separated again."

Feelings can be shared. At that moment, Pei Yi also seemed to realize the deep obsession that belonged to the senior brother. His eyes were slightly hot and he was silent for a long time. Finally, he raised his hand to caress Yin Yun's back and whispered slowly.

"Don't worry, I will protect you to the end."

There is another door in Tongxin’s cellar. After entering, there are many fruits and vegetables, as well as dried beef and mutton.

So when the first rays of light in the morning passed through the clouds, Yin Yun took the ingredients, cooked by himself, and said that he would cook breakfast for Pei Yi. Huo Yinting, who was up early, had nothing to do, so he went to help too. Not long afterwards, he saw the smoke curling up, and the warm smoke was reassuring.

Yin Yun held the spatula and stared at the vegetable oil in the pot for a moment before suddenly speaking without warning.

"How long have we known each other?"

"Almost..." Huo Yinting groaned, "It's been four months."

Four months, saying that the length is not long, and that the short is not short, from early autumn to early winter, spanning a season until now.

But doing the math, with the exception of Pei Yi, Yin Yun is the target she gets along with the longest compared to the second and third worlds.

Even if it is a stranger who meets across the water and walks this section of the road together, it is inevitable that he will feel a bit of sympathy, not to mention that he and her have experienced many moments of life and death, which can be regarded as a friendship of mutual adversity.

The long journey is accompanied by someone, after all, it will not be so lonely.

Yin Yun said, "I have worked hard for you for so long, Yinting."

This was the first time he called her name seriously in front of her.

He knew very well that without her, he would not be able to reunite with his brother alive. This friendship should be remembered in his heart.

"It's not your style to be so polite." Huo Yinting said quietly, "It's still the same sentence, as long as you live well, you can thank me."

"I won't die easily without finding out the truth and avenging my master."

The young man's eyes were clear and firm, like the stars in the dark night, possessing the power to pierce through the clouds and break the fog.

Huo Yinting patted him on the shoulder, not knowing where the inexplicable parting feeling came from at this moment, the blue pendant on the neck suddenly became hot, and the light and shadow shone, she lowered her head and turned her gaze to the direction of the court again.

"I will trouble you for breakfast. I have something to do. I want to ask your brother."

Even though Yin Yun was puzzled, he didn't ask much, just nodded, indicating that he heard it.

"Then I'll cook the porridge later, I'll call you."

"good."……

Huo Yinting walked slowly towards the courtyard. When the wind came, the osmanthus branches and leaves in the courtyard were swaying. As soon as she looked up, she saw Pei Yi sitting on the roof and looking at the sky. He was still dressed in black and rustling, still the coldest and unrestrained appearance in the memory.

"Morning."

Pei Yi lowered his eyes, and when he saw her, there was a smile between his eyebrows: "Morning."

"The genius is just bright, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Enough sleep."

She was silent for a long while, then smiled suddenly, and flew up to the roof with a leap and flew to sit side by side with him.

Pei Yi whispered: "Yin Yun..."

"Yin Yun is in the back kitchen and said he will make breakfast and make some soup for you, so he won't come over for the time being."

Pei Yi clenched his fingers and couldn't help but glanced at her more, but his eyes were fixed on the scar that hadn't completely disappeared on her neck.

Yes, he heard Yin Yun mentioned last night that he injured her with a willow dart when he lost his mind.

"……Feel sorry."

Huo Yinting understood what he was referring to, and she smiled: "I am a bird in this world, and I have a strong self-healing ability. This little injury is okay."

"Even so, it's best to never get hurt."

This is his most heartfelt wish.

"I am very lucky to have you here." Huo Yinting said, "I understand that you have suffered far more sins than me."

But these were originally not his responsibility, he didn't need to embark on this thorny road, and there was nothing else to do.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Pei Yi narrowed those nice eyes slightly, and his tone was low and gentle.

He said: "You don't have to feel bad about it. In fact, I am selfish."

"What selfishness?"

Pei Yi met her gaze, silent for a long time, and turned away calmly.

The sunlight melted into his dark pupils, and the depths and shallows swayed with gentle ripples. He sighed, and his voice gradually became lighter, like the distant whispers when a dream came.

"I have nothing to worry about in this life. It doesn't matter where I go. Life and death are not important. The only thing I can't bear is..." He paused, then smiled, "I liked it when I was twenty-six. A girl, I want her to get what she wants, spend her life safely, and stop wandering in another world."

He swore an oath, in order to achieve this wish, at any cost.

In Huo Yinting's eyes, there was a golden glow that lit up in an instant, and disappeared in an instant. That was the trace that the quelin would appear in a moment of extreme tension.

Her fingers on the edge of the tiles trembled slightly.

"I seem to have heard it wrong." She looked at him for a while, and asked without expression, "Pei Yi, are you... confessing to me?"

Pei Yi chuckled, "I know, it doesn't make sense to say this, but it's better than cheating you all the time, right?"

He didn't want to deceive her, and he didn't want to deceive himself anymore. Like it, he liked it. From the beginning, he didn't decide to escape.

"Yin Ting, you don't belong here, you should have a better life."

"I don't want to have a better life." Huo Yinting lowered her head and squeezed his hand. She said slowly, "I don't know how long I will travel. Maybe I will travel somewhere in the future. If the mission fails, it will last forever. Staying there is also an end."

If this is fate, she will admit fate without any fear.

"But I want to give you a happy ending. You should go back to your own world, right now."

"...Now?" The warning from the bottom of my heart was alive. Huo Yinting heard his overtones, and was surprised and suspicious, "How can I go back? The mission in this world has not yet been completed."

"The mission requirement of the system is to protect Yin Yun and help him fulfill his wish." Pei Yi explained in a deep voice, "Yin Yun has two wishes, one is to reunite with his brother, and the other is to avenge his master-the former you have completed. , I’m responsible for the rest."

"You can't complete the task for me, the system won't allow it."

"The system has allowed it."

"..."

Huo Yinting almost thought he had auditory hallucinations, but the pendant between the neck kept getting hot and the light gradually became stronger, as if it was confirming the truth of what Pei Yi said.

She became uneasy: "What's the matter? How can the task be changed midway?"

At the same time, the long-lost green reminder box reappeared in front of him.

[System prompt: [Imperial City Cry] scroll mission is successful. 】

Roll up?

She clenched Pei Yi's hand more subconsciously, and her voice trembled for a while: "Why didn't you tell me the truth? What deal did you do with the system?"

Pei Yi was silent.

"Pei Yi! I'll walk my own way. How can I let you take the place?"

In the last sentence, due to the emotional excitement, there was almost a broken voice.

"...There is indeed no reason." Pei Yi replied in a low voice, "but there are many things in the world, and there is no reason for it."

It's like he met her, and like he fell in love with her.

It's a pity that every reunion is a prelude to separation.

Before he finished his words, he suddenly leaned forward and squeezed her into his arms. He kissed her long hair, his eyes were flushed, and he was almost crying.

"Yin Ting." He whispered in her ear, "I will tell Yin Yun that you have gone to travel around the world and will protect him until you avenge his master."

"Also... go back to your world and live this life well. From now on, I will be treated as dead."

Huo Yinting choked up, and she didn't even have time to answer him. She only felt that the darkness in front of her eyes, the temperature of his fingertips had gone away, and she was replaced by a bitter cold.

She fell into a deep dream that would never wake up again.

The author has something to say: Pei Yi made a deal with the system to replace Xiaohuo to complete the task for her, and he will naturally bear all the consequences for her.

Regarding this story, when the next volume begins, I will introduce a few more words in detail.

And in the next volume, Xiaohuo accepted the final task assigned by the system in order to fight for the recall of Pei Yi.

[City of Fierce Ghosts] Volume, thank you all for accompany you through the final story.
