"…" Mo Shang shook his head. What else did he have to say? Forget it.
"Oh, Mo Shang, do you think Su Lin and Liru like each other?"
Just as Mo Shang dejectedly turned around, Xuanyuan Mo seemed to have understood something. Suddenly, a low growl rang out.
"You only noticed it now!" Mo Shang helplessly turned around. That person isn't really that stupid, right?
"But that's not right either. If they like each other, what will you do?" Xuanyuan Mo crossed his arms across his chest.
"…" He even clearly knew that this was a scar in his heart, yet he still insisted on forcefully tearing it apart while sprinkling salt on it. However, looking at Xuanyuan Mo's serious expression, he felt that Xuanyuan Mo was doing this for his own good, that he just didn't understand, that's why he was curious, and that was why Xuanyuan Mo was asking him this question. In actuality, Xuanyuan Mo was only concerned about him.
That night, Xuanyuan Mo was worried that Mo Shang would feel sad if he went back alone, so he risked his life to accompany Xuanyuan Jun. He sat with him on the grass outside the relay station, listening to his bits and pieces of information about the past few years with Su Lin.
When Li Ruo and Su Lin came back holding hands, it was already dawn. The two men were still sitting in the bush, leaning on each other as if they were asleep.
However, martial practitioners were more vigilant than ordinary people. Before they even got close, Xuanyuan Mo had already woken up and seeing the two of them holding hands, he unconsciously thought back to what happened last night. He suddenly felt that it wasn't worth Mo Shang.
"Get up!" He had returned to his usual apathy and stretched out his leg to kick Mo Shang, who was fast asleep. Mo Shang woke up with a hazy look in his eyes and saw two hands that were in perfect harmony with each other, the light in his eyes unconsciously dimmed.
Led by Su Lin, she felt that something was wrong. In her previous life, she had always been the one to hold onto her shoulders, because she was 1.75 meters away, while Su Lin was 1.65 meters away. But now, Su Lin was 1.65 meters away from Ruo Lin, but she was less than 1.6 meters away from Ruo Ruo.
Besides, after being separated from Su Lin for such a long time, Su Lin had no choice but to surrender. She had always followed her lead. Now, she wanted to use her remaining life to compensate her.
"Why are you guys here? Don't you know to go back and rest?" Su Lin let go of Liru and walked forward to smooth Mo Shang's collar. She even helped him remove the weeds on his clothes.
Liruo noticed that Mo Shang hesitated for a moment, but he did not resist. He just looked at Su Lin with a complicated look in his eyes.
She suddenly felt that it was funny. This man couldn't be jealous, could he? But what was there to be jealous of between her and Su Lin?
They grew up together, were colleagues, and even family members. She thought back to last night and suddenly felt that their actions were indeed a bit too intimate. Then, she smiled, wanting to explain.
"Not good, General, Sir. A rapist case has occurred five kilometers away!" General Li had not slept for the entire night and had just sealed off the entire city. He originally wanted to return to the general's estate to report, but on the way, he discovered something new. He didn't know if it had anything to do with last night's incident, but some patrolling soldiers had rushed over after saying that Xuanyuan Mo had been here the entire time.
The victim was a fresh sixteen year old girl, with delicate features. After some questioning, she found out that her name was Ruo Su, and by the time the day was over, the sky had already turned slightly pale. She was about to get up as usual, but someone in black suddenly rushed into her room, with a cloth over her face, making it impossible for her to see his original appearance. Just as she was about to open her mouth to call for someone, someone suddenly covered her mouth and dragged her onto the bed.
At the same time, she discovered that the two girls next door to her house had also suffered the same fate as the rapist. However, they were already dead, and it was unknown if they felt that they had no face to live in this world and commit suicide afterwards, or if they had been tortured to death by the rapist when they committed the crime.
When they arrived, Ruo Su was lying on the bed expressionlessly. She was already dressed, but she refused to answer their questions. It was as if she had no life left in her.
Su Lin quickly looked at the bodies of the other two girls. They were the only ones who had been hurt, and since they were girls, only Liru and Su Lin were there to examine them.
This kind of thing often happened in the modern world. They had even personally captured many criminals like this before, but in ancient times, this was the first time Li Ruo had ever seen one.
Moreover, this person was especially cruel, as if he wanted to vent some of the suppressed emotions in his heart, because the scars on the bodies of these two dead people were too frightening.
From a psychological point of view, the perpetrator was probably a psychopath.
"This is a case of a serial rapist!" Li Ruo closed the door and walked out, conversing with Xuanyuan Mo and Mo Shang who were waiting at the door.
"I just checked the surroundings and didn't find any suspicious people passing by this morning!" Mo Shang spoke of his progress.
"My lord, my general, I beg of you, please uphold justice for my daughter!" Outside the door, the sounds of wailing rose and fell.
"We must bring the culprits to justice!" The families of the victims were all crying. Even in modern times, not everyone would be able to handle this kind of thing, let alone this conservative modern era.
"Believe us, we will definitely catch the murderer!" Xuanyuan Mo spoke with determination in his voice.
"General, can you catch him?" Can the culprit really be caught? "
"Definitely, please trust us!" Xuanyuan Mo's voice was tinged with pity, even Li Ruo could hear it. From this, it could be seen that he was not an extremely cold-blooded and heartless person.
Perhaps it was just a rather deep concealment.
Without caring about the emotions of the people outside, Li Ruo turned around and walked towards the house that Ruo Su was in.
Although she had studied psychology before, it was normal for ordinary girls to want to die after encountering something like this. Moreover, in ancient times, when one's reputation was damaged, it meant that they would not be able to get married.
"I know you're feeling bad right now!" Liruo opened her mouth. She wasn't the kind of person who liked to uncover other people's scars, but the victim's first hand information was very important, so she had no choice but to ask.
"What time did you get up this morning? What were you doing?" It could be said that Li Ruo's tone was a bit tough, the girl simply turned over with her back facing her, as if she didn't want to think about everything from before.
But in fact, Ruo Su's reaction was pretty good. At least, she did not scream or lose control of her emotions after committing suicide. Judging from the way she turned over just now, she was just unwilling to mention such a thing.
"What does he look like, what does he wear, are there any obvious characteristics?" Liru continued to ask, but the girl refused to speak and even started to cry.
Everyone understood that this was a cry after a moment of grief. Mo Shang stepped forward, wanting to pull Liru away from the scene and stop her from provoking the emotions of the victim, but was stopped by Su Lin who just came in.
"She knows her limits!" This sentence ignited the fire in Mo Shang's heart. Was Su Lin saying that Mo Shang had no sense of propriety?
Why did she trust Zhiruo so much?
He felt sad and didn't want to get angry with Su Lin so he walked out. Su Lin was surprised for a moment, but she quickly chased after him.
At this moment, only Liru, Xuanyuan Mo, and General Li were left in the room. They would glance in from time to time, looking very worried.
"What's the use of asking? Can you find the murderer? "Even if I find it, so what? Can my innocence return?" Ruo Su could no longer hold it in. She turned around and growled, but her voice was weak. She finally managed to calm herself down, but the person before her kept forcing her to remember.
"…" Liru was questioned, but it was just a moment of absent-mindedness.
"At the very least, we can bring the culprit to justice!"
"What is the use of bringing them to justice? I still can't go back to yesterday. You know, I'm already dirty! " Ruo Su had lost control of herself. She did not care about the identity of the person in front of her. She only knew that it was the woman in front of her who made her hurt even more.
That feeling of fear and humiliation filled her entire chest. She couldn't help but laugh, but her smile was filled with despair and helplessness. Did they really want to laugh at her so badly?
Since he could only disgrace his parents when he was alive, he might as well just die.
"So what if I can't go back?" Not only was Xuanyuan Mo stunned upon hearing those words, even the smile on Ruo Su's face had gone completely stiff. Since she couldn't return, what else could she do?
He hesitated as he was about to hit the bed.
Xuanyuan Mo stepped forward and was about to try to persuade her, but he suddenly recalled Su Lin's words just now. She was free to do as she pleased and stopped in her tracks, turning her head as if she did not wish to see the girl acting in such an extreme and pitiful manner.
"Yeah. "I can't do anything about it. I might as well die and get it over with!" The girl's eyes were unfocused. It was the kind of look of complete disappointment and helplessness that meant that she no longer had the desire to live.
"Bam!" She suddenly made up her mind and dashed toward the bed with all her might. However, she was stopped by Xu Ruo Sheng, whose forehead was just a finger away from the bed.
She could have pulled it early, but she didn't want to. Because people can only know what to like when they are on the verge of death.
