Su Qing's cloudy eyes seemed to have parted, and the black cloth covering the showcase was torn off, revealing the rare treasures hidden under it.Her eyes glowed with brilliance, a kind of youthful and fierce beauty, descending on the late old man, reminding Deng Huailing of the beautiful girl at the ball.

The shadows of Su Qing with blue hair like a mirror, and Su Qing with white hair and bright head overlap at this moment without distinguishing each other.

"That was the first and last time I killed someone in my life." She looked down at her reflection in the cup, "Cecina saved me from the previous nuclear war and provided me with asylum as a neutral scholar, My life was given by her, watching her suffer, I can't sit idly by."

Heat gradually filled her eyes, "After Joseph made her into a bionic person, he brought her to the banquet. At that time, I thought, how can someone do all kinds of evil things without being punished? I don't believe in gods and Buddhas.Cecina has no other relatives or friends, so I am the last person in the world who can judge him."

Deng Huailing raised a question a little unexpectedly: "However, you were just a weak girl back then. Even if you used indirect means to poison, Joseph would be wary. Besides, the industry of bounty hunters did not rise 80 years ago, so it is difficult for youFind someone else to deal with him."

"Have you heard of the trick of hiding cards in the tree?" Su Qing smiled, "In order to perform it, the magician waited for twenty years for the tree to grow. Joseph was wary of me, but this vigilance, after ten yearsIt will weaken, it will dissipate in twenty years, and it will cease to exist in thirty years."

"You disappeared in front of him for thirty years?" Deng Huailing said.

"Not only in front of him, I moved away from the main city and went to the second district incognito. Until now, the name 'Su Qing' is not on my ID chip. The second district has rich mineral resources, and the price of precious metals and gems is cheaper than the urban area, so I started my career by processing jewels, and those jewels were smuggled into the city, washed to the surface, and gradually gained a little fame."

The old lady narrated in a flat tone, as if she was talking about small things like daily expenses, but Deng Huailing knew that half of Su Qing's life in Fengyunjihui could be summed up in a few short sentences. The hardships she experienced in the second district, I am afraid it is no less than when Deng Huailing worked hard in the main city.

"I have mastered all the channels for jewelry sales in the city, and I know exactly which jewelry will appear in which window." Su Qing continued, "When the time is right, I made a ring and let it mix in a certain place.A corrupt official gave Joseph a gift. At that time, Joseph had been promoted to the position of the mayor's advisor under Cesina's favor, and many people asked him to do things."

Deng Huailing understood: "Is there a mechanism hidden in the ring?"

A proud smile appeared on Su Qing’s lips, and the silver thread on her head reflected the halo under the lamp: “It’s a simple pressure-triggered mechanism, as long as Joseph wears it, the toxin will be injected into the body through a fine needle. The principle of this magic is notThe complicated thing is how to make Joseph forget my existence; forgetting your hated enemy is as dangerous as forgetting the poisonous snake behind you."

"You surprised me." Deng Huailing held the teacup in his hand and watched the hot mist rise. "I saw you when you were young, but I didn't realize the determination hidden in that girl."

"Have you seen me when I was young?" Su Qing was startled, and then realized, "It must be in the lost city. Speaking of which, I don't remember what I looked like back then. It seemed that I was pursued by a group of handsome men and women. WeAll day away from business, all I know is dancing and having fun... Well, the old days are so nostalgic."

Deng Huailing couldn't help laughing: "Don't let Igor hear this, otherwise he will be sullen for several days. He is not only greedy for money, but also very narrow-minded."

"Igor? He won't." Su Qing drank tea calmly, "We have all lived to this age, but we just gather together to keep warm and hide from the rain under the same roof. I don't want to ask him much., he won't be jealous of me, so you don't have to worry about it."

Deng Huailing smiled and said nothing.It is the hunter's patent to detect the hidden emotions in people's hearts, or his patent. He thinks the obvious signs, but Su Qing, who is several times his age, has not noticed them.

He drank the tea in the cup and prepared to end the conversation: "Then, thank you for your hospitality tonight, I should continue to look for the lock of the brain. The information you provided is of great significance to us, and the sameIf you need help, please feel free to ask."

"Can you represent 'Shu''s position?" Su Qing asked, "I do have something to ask 'Shu' to help."

"What's up?"

Su Qing's expression became serious, and she said slowly: "I have to leave the main city, and go now. Since my image has already appeared in the Lost City, the government will find it here sooner or later. Although they won't do anything to me,I will even treat each other with courtesy, but I don't want to tell them any clues, the scientific research achievements Cecina has cherished throughout her life must not be abused."

"I understand what you mean. But should we go now? Will it be too fast?" Deng Huailing paused, "Igor's side..."

"I will explain to him, let him pack up my things and throw them away, and erase all traces." Su Qing said calmly and decisively, "He used to be an excellent hunter, and it is difficult to destroy evidence like this.Don't knock him down."

"Wait, are you going to completely abandon your current life and stop thinking about it?" Even Deng Huailing, who is quick to do things, finds it inconceivable, "It's better to discuss it with Igor, he may not agree with youpractice."

The tea on the table was cold, and there was light smoke like embers that were about to go out.After a long time, Deng Huailing heard a faint sigh.

"Agree, or disagree, so what?" Su Qing whispered, "I know, one day I will go back to the second district, because with this secret in my heart, there is no place for me in this city.It's not my hometown anymore."

"I was doomed to die in the second district... For so many years, I have been waiting for the day to set off. And today is that day."

The rain outside was still rustling, and Deng Huailing was sent away. Su Qing wandered alone in the study, pulling the drawers by her hand, shaking her head, then opened the door of the display cabinet, staring at the dazzling array of jewelry for a while.Close it again.

All the objects here, from calligraphy and paintings to tea sets, from spices to jewelry, are all cherished by her on weekdays, and she often carefully wipes the dust off the surface.However, when she was about to leave, she was completely indifferent to them and didn't want to carry any of them, as if Su Qing, who was obsessed with the art world, was not her. She only really lived at the moment when she heard the news of Joseph's death.On the timeline, "Su Qing" is just an illusory shadow.

Deng Huailing contacted Rosie before leaving, and the other party replied that it would not be difficult to take her out of the city, and the branch of "Shu" in the city would send someone to pick her up soon, and asked her to pack her luggage and wait at home.In about an hour, she was leaving the warmly furnished house, the home Igor shared with her, never to return.

But she hasn't even discussed it with Igor yet.How should I speak?Su Qing hesitated, she thought that she was not afraid of his anger, but she was afraid of seeing the other party's indifferent reaction. In this way, she verified that their relationship was indeed as she said, just squeezed to hide from the rain.

How old are people, and they are still timid like young people.Su Qing suddenly felt that she was funny, walked out of the study, took off the coat hanging on the coat rack, put it on her body, chose a silk scarf to wrap around her neck, and finally picked up an umbrella.

These are the three things she wants to bring. People who are about to be buried have already taken property very lightly.Rosie promised that someone would take care of her food and daily life. For some reason, she saw at a glance that the leader was trustworthy, so she didn't bring any money.

"Igor," she said to the old man in the bedroom, "I'm going to move to the second district."

The door of the bedroom was ajar, a ray of light leaked through the crack of the door, and the sound of footsteps inside was dragging.When Igor poked his head out, he was still pushing a huge 32-inch suitcase in a coquettish fiery red color.Ever since Su Qing mentioned that red is the lucky color of Chinese people, Igor has been wishing to buy the toilet pan in red as well.

"You finished packing so quickly?" Igor took down the cigar in his mouth, "I finally finished the list, we have a lot of things to bring, those works you are proud of, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, full ofThe silk scarves in the cabinet...a box probably won't hold it."

"..." Su Qing froze on the spot, "The conversation between me and Deng Huailing just now..."

"I heard it all. There is a saying that I agree with. The work of destroying evidence is nothing to an excellent hunter, and the work of wiretapping is also not a problem." Igor said proudly.

"You installed bugs at home?" Su Qing couldn't believe it.

"Of course not. I was eavesdropping on the crack of the door. I vaguely understood it. I have long suspected that Deng Huailing has no good intentions, and he really got you involved." The old man deliberately blew his beard and stared.If I didn't find out in time, you were tricked into the second district by that rebel leader named Rosie."

Su Qing was about to explain, but heard Igor say sincerely, "So, in order to prevent you from being cheated on the way, let me go with you."

"You can't go with me." Su Qing refused him without thinking, "Igor, I know you like to stay in the Hunter's Guild, and you can only continue to work in this job if you stay in the main city. And the second districtThe environment is too harsh, and for unprotected people over forty years old, the risk of radiation sickness increases with age."

"Live to this age, I think it's enough." Igor said nonchalantly, pushed the suitcase and approached Su Qing, and stretched out his hand to her, "It's like going to the mountains outside the city to see the scenery, How about having a picnic together? When the sun goes down, we will drive back in the car and sing songs, if we can’t come back, we can set up a tent on the top of the mountain... It’s also good to sleep forever.”

Su Qing looked at the old man with vicissitudes and wrinkles on her face just like herself.Igor's hair is gray, but his eyes are extremely shining, which makes people think that he may also be a hunter with outstanding demeanor when Deng Huailing was that age; she guessed that at this moment, her eyes must also be shy like a girl.

After hesitating for a moment, she took his hand and went on an outing to death together.
