Chapter 353 - 353: The Center Of The Disaster
MO Ruyue and Gu Ying returned to the small courtyard they had rented. They still acted according to their disguised roles, but now most of the matters had been handed over to the Xiao family, and they were only left with the role of overall planning.
This was also what MO Ruyue and Gu Ying had strongly requested. Since they had to return to the light in the end, why not start letting go now?
Gu Ying listened to her every word. He never minded having a trace of blood on his hands, but he would also immediately put down his butcher’s knife because of MO Ruyue’s words.
There were only a few days left until the Lantern Festival. Because MO Ruyue had promised the babies that she would go back to celebrate the festival with them, Xu City’s trip had to be sped up.
“Honored guests, the brothers are in place according to your arrangements.
The identities of the guests in the restaurant have also been checked. There is no possibility of accidental injury. We can take action tonight.”
The person who was standing in front of MO Ruyue and reporting to her was Xiao Jincheng.
He wouldn’t expose MO Ruyue and Gu Yings identities and would only address them as distinguished guests. This was also what MO Ruyue wanted.
This was called being sensible.
Although he had a tacit understanding of their identities, as long as he didn’t expose them, they could still work together happily.
“Very good, then let’s end this quickly.”
MO Ruyue nodded. She didn’t feel guilty at all for the dozens of lives that were about to be lost.
She had already seen the evidence that Gu Ying had gathered. Every single person in the blood tower had their hands covered in blood, and no one was innocent.
Strictly speaking, Gu Ying was also one of them, but this was MO Ruyue’s weak spot. She was the double target, so what if she protected her own?
Xiao Jincheng bowed and cupped his fists, then disappeared in a flash.
“It’s indeed easier to do things with underlings. We’ll just be the hands-off managers. Gu Ying, why were we so stubborn in the past?”
MO Ruyue said with a sigh.
She was just saying it. If she really wanted to take in a follower, she had to consider whether she would be stabbed in the back. She didn’t want to waste her energy on that.
“In the future, leave all these things to me. I’ll be your ‘little brother.”
Gu Ying said dotingly.
After reuniting with MO Ruyue, the two of them were almost stuck together, except when they were in the toilet and taking a bath. They had never been separated.
It was just like in her previous life, but they had changed time and space, and their appearances had changed.
“Forget it, you’d better get used to the life under the sun.”
MO Ruyue hurriedly shook her head.
She knew how difficult it was to break free from the darkness. Back in Lin City, she was almost dragged back by the dark desire in the depths of her heart, so she could not relax for even a moment.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Gu Ying didn’t have any objections to what MO Ruyue said as long as she was happy.
The two of them were talking affectionately when MO Ruyue’s expression suddenly changed. She reached into his arms and took out a bone whistle.
“Why did the whistle sound on its own?
She looked at the bone whistle in her hand in surprise. The whistle was trembling slightly, emitting a high-frequency sound wave.
Ordinary people couldn’t hear these sound waves, but it was easy for MO Ruyue, who had extraordinary senses, to hear them.
“This is a human’s phalanx?
Gu Ying took the bone whistle from her hand and examined it carefully. He could easily tell that it was a whistle carved from the bone of a person’s index finger.
“Yes, this is a gift from the black wolf king. It’s the wolf king of the pack that showed special interest in you.”
When MO Ruyue said this, Gu Ying remembered. That huge black wolf had really left a deep impression on him.
“Maybe it’s because they already knew about our relationship, that’s why they’re so interested in me. Don’t you think so, Bing ‘Er?”
Other than that, he really couldn’t think of any other reason to attract the wolf packs attention.
“I can’t rule out that possibility. After all, animal instincts are stronger than humans. Besides, those wolves were not ordinary wolves. I seem to have forgotten to tell you something.”
“Let’s wait first. The whistle wouldn’t have sounded for no reason. Could it be that something has happened to the wolf pack again?
MO Ruyue originally wanted to tell Gu Ying about what happened in the valley of treasures, but the vibrations of the bone whistle suddenly became more intense, and the sound became sharper. This made her realize that the matter might be very urgent.
However, she was now in Xu City, which was hundreds of miles away from the Qin Village. Even with the big black horse, she would need at least a day to get back.
It was already past noon. Although there was still some time before the night operation, it wasn’t enough for her to go back and forth. Moreover, she didn’t even know if the wolves were still in the mountains near the Qin Village.
“Bing Er, why don’t you go back first and see if anything happened to the wolves. I’m here, and there’s also the Xiao family, nothing will go wrong.”
Although Gu Ying also wanted to go back with her, he knew that MO Ruyue would not agree.
They were all people who would finish what they started, so if he did not personally end the blood tower incident, there would still be some regrets.
“I’ll go out of the city to take a look first. This bone whistle is used to summon wolves, so it might have the opposite effect. Even when the wolves are in trouble, it will inform its master.”
MO Ruyue didn’t think of herself as the wolf pack’s master. She and the wolf pack had always been friends on equal footing.
She had saved them before, and they had given her more in return. Other than the valley of treasures, it was the mirror valley behind the valley.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, MO Ruyue’s head felt like it had been pierced by a sharp blade. She started to feel an intense pain. Her body swayed slightly, and she fell into the arms of Gu Ying.
“Bing Er, what’s wrong?
Gu Ying was shocked. Why did she suddenly show such a painful expression? In an instant, the back of her clothes was soaked with cold sweat.
Countless fragments of images quickly flashed through MO Ruyue’s mind. In the image, a wolf pack was running extremely fast in the forest, and countless fireballs streaked across the sky, smashing down fiercely.
A meteor shower?
It looked like a large-scale natural disaster, but no one knew if it had happened before or was about to happen.
MO Ruyue only felt that her heart was beating fast and panicking, as if an accident was really going to happen.
“No, Ying, I really have to go out of the city to take a look. It seems like something is going to happen.”
She couldn’t stand it any longer. If this had happened before, there would definitely be records of this disaster, but what if it was about to happen?
It was impossible to determine where the wolves were from the scene of them running, but one thing was certain: the meteorite rain had affected a large area. The Qin Village and the county were most likely at the center of the disaster.
Although Gu Ying didn’t know what had happened, he didn’t have time to ask when he saw MO Ruyue’s state and just followed her out of the courtyard.
MO Ruyue didn’t leave the city blindly, but went to find Xiao Jincheng first.
“Honored guests, why have you two come? Is there anything else you need?”
Xiao Jincheng was making the final arrangements for his men, in order to ensure that tonight’s operation would be a sure-hit one, leaving no survivors and making no mistakes..
