20demayo Chapter 201: The Homelander Arrives
Chapter 201: The Homelander Arrives
When Ling Yuan dragged his tired body back home, the clock had quietly pointed to two o'clock in the morning. At this moment, the house was quiet, only Zhongyan and Suo were still sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on the fierce game battle; Kara and Maeve had already fallen asleep, and the only one in the house was Peter Parker who was still working hard in the laboratory.
"Haha! Zhongyan, you are nothing more than that!"
With a chuckle, Suo controlled her character to approach the enemy quickly like a ghost, and then she jumped into the face, ascended the dragon, and used a big move. The whole set of actions was completed in one go, and the health of the character controlled by Zhongyan was reduced by more than half in an instant. After the success, Suo was full of pride, and she showed off her brilliant victory to her opponent without any concealment.
Since returning home, the two have fought more than 30 fierce duels, but Zhongyan has only achieved 20 losses and 10 wins, which is a miserable sight. Seeing that he was defeated by Suo's sharp and smooth operation again, Zhongyan's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if ink could drip out of it. His eyes, which were originally clear as water, turned red with anger, and tears kept rolling in his eyes, as if they could roll down at any time.
Twenty-one losses and ten wins!
Looking at Zhongyan's aggrieved and unwilling look, Ling Yuan couldn't help laughing. He walked over to the two of them, first gently touched Suo's head, then gently patted Zhongyan's shoulder and comforted him:
"Okay, Zhongyan, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed. Don't worry, I will help you get revenge tomorrow! Oh, and you, Vita!"
Listening to Ling Yuan's voice that was as gentle and warm as the spring breeze, Zhong Yan, who had been holding back tears, finally couldn't control her emotions anymore. Like a wounded little animal, she threw herself into Ling Yuan's broad and solid arms and burst into tears: "Wuwuwawa T﹏T!! Ling Yuan... Suo she bullied me..."
Looking at Zhongyan who was curled up in Ling Yuan's arms and crying like an ostrich, Suo's eyes revealed deep envy. She felt extremely regretful and secretly blamed herself for why she had been so cruel to Zhongyan just now. Otherwise, she would be the one being hugged by Ling Yuan and comforted by him at this moment!
The corners of Ling Yuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He raised his head and glanced at Suo, whose face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Black lines instantly appeared on his forehead, and he was filled with a feeling of powerlessness and helplessness.
After a lot of effort, Ling Yuan finally succeeded in pulling away the Zhongyan who was clinging to him tightly and refused to let go. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Suo clung to him again like a piece of taffy. In the end, Ling Yuan almost exhausted all his strength and finally coaxed these two difficult guys to sleep quietly. Exhausted, Ling Yuan stood alone in front of the huge French window, silently staring at the deep night outside the window, his eyes full of sleepiness and fatigue that could not be concealed.
After parting with Ling Yuan, Xingguang walked slowly back to her residence with heavy steps. When she stretched out her hand and pushed open the door, an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere came over her, causing her to frown.
Xingguang hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to press the light switch. In an instant, bright light illuminated the entire room, but at the same time, a familiar and disturbing object - the flashy cloak of the Homelander - broke into her sight. It was quietly hanging behind a familiar figure, as if silently telling some ominous premonition.
Starlight stared at the cloak with wide eyes, a trace of fear rising in her heart. She took a deep breath and walked towards the sofa carefully. She saw Homelander sitting in the middle of the sofa with his legs crossed. His arms seemed to be casually placed on the backrest, but he exuded a majesty that could not be ignored.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Homelander turned his head leisurely, and his eyes happened to meet the stunned Xingguang at the door. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a standard fake smile, and his deep eyes revealed an unconcealable surprise.
"Hello, newcomer!" The Homelander raised his hand and waved gently, as a greeting, but his body did not move at all, still sitting steadily on the sofa, "Don't be nervous, I just came to chat with you and understand some things."
Perhaps sensing Xingguang's vigilance, Homelander deliberately lowered his posture and tried to appear more friendly. After all, Xingguang was now connected to Lingyuan, and he didn't want to easily provoke this girl, and couldn't bear Lingyuan's anger.
"You came to see me so late, is there something going on?" After experiencing the incident where Deep Sea had taken advantage of her, Xingguang was full of disgust towards these sanctimonious and hypocritical superheroes, and her tone was full of hostility. "If you have something to say, then hurry up and say it! I'm very tired now and need a good rest."
Homelander keenly captured the strong hostility revealed in Xingguang's words, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes, but he did not show this emotion. Instead, he quickly concealed the unhappiness in his heart.
Homelander spoke with a smile on his face, his voice sounding very gentle: "The situation is like this, the invisible man in our group of seven was brutally murdered in the Seven-Man Tower. According to the clues we have so far, you and the mysterious oriental man were the only ones there at the time of the crime. So, I hope to know from you what exactly happened!" Although he still had a smile on his face, his slightly narrowed eyes revealed an imperceptible chill.
Xingguang frowned slightly, recalling the scene at that time. Yes, she was indeed with Lingyuan at that time, but it was Shenhai who had a conflict with them, not the so-called invisible man. Facing the invisible man's corpse that inexplicably appeared at the scene, Xingguang was full of doubts. After all, she and Lingyuan were the only two people present at the time!
While thinking, a detail suddenly jumped into Xingguang's mind - when she was in the bathroom, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside the door. When she walked out of the bathroom, Ling Yuan immediately grabbed her hand and moved away in an instant. It is very likely that at that time, the invisible man had been killed by Ling Yuan.
However, Xingguang became more and more curious. What happened that made Ling Yuan kill the invisible man? You know, even in the face of the deep sea, Ling Yuan finally chose to let him go.
Looking at Xingguang's confused and puzzled eyes, as well as the doubts revealed in her eyes, the motherland instantly understood: That's it! The invisible man was indeed killed by Ling Yuan, but the problem is that when Ling Yuan killed him, Xingguang was not at the scene, or maybe she didn't witness any related scenes at all.
If it was really as he thought, then he could only ask Ling Yuan, but he didn't want to meet Ling Yuan. The fear that Ling Yuan brought him was already deeply engraved in his heart.
