Braut mit Geisteraugen 2

Kapitel 24

Nizi suddenly realized: "You...you're not Shen Daxing? You're not Shen Daxing!"

A clap of thunder shook the small house, shattering the windows and letting in a torrential downpour.

Outside, the knocking turned into a violent shaking of the door.

Xu Haibing pulled the heartbroken Nizi to the window: "Listen carefully! Never come back to this room! Never go back to that dance hall! Get out of here now, run! Contact me—no, Shen Daxing—on QQ tonight..."

Nizi stood frozen, murmuring, "...Sister...Mother..."

The sound of a door being opened came from outside.

"It's all for your sister! Your mother!" Xu Haibing picked up Nizi and threw her out the window.

Footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and then someone came and knocked on the door of the small house.

"Run!" Xu Haibing shouted!

"Boom!" Lightning roared!

Nizi, who had been standing motionless in the alleyway with the window slanted towards her, suddenly became alert and started running forward.

Xu Haibing watched her retreating figure intently, ignoring the loud banging on the door.

In the sky, thick, dark clouds churned, gathered, and shifted...

Xu Haibing let the dense raindrops soak him as he stood by the window, watching Nizi running in the downpour.

Suddenly, as if propelled by some unknown force, he blurted out at Nizi:

"Believe me--!"

Nizi, who was running to the alley entrance next to a big elm tree, heard this, turned her face, and gave this side a bitter smile!

Xu Haibing was stunned--

Nizi's smile conjured up numerous ■-shaped patterns that burst forth in front of him!

Xu Haibing's mouth, still slightly agape in astonishment, suddenly opened even wider. He clearly saw—

Suddenly, a gigantic demon appeared from the dark clouds in the sky, with fierce brows and bared fangs, carrying thunder and lightning, and pounced down!

A blinding flash!

A deafening thunderclap!

Nizi, facing a desperate situation--

A surprised look!

Woofy hair!

The legs that are suspended in mid-air!

Outstretched arms!

"Crack--!" The demon's countless fiery arms suddenly snapped off a branch as thick as a bowl from the elm tree!

"Smash--!" In the blink of an eye, the demon's countless gleaming silver claws tore off all of Nizi's clothes! It lifted her body high into the air and then slammed her to the ground.

A brief moment of deathly silence, then Xu Haibing roared like a madman, and then jumped up like a madman...

"Bang!" Da Yu and Xiao You, dressed in black raincoats, burst through the door and then froze.

Xu Haibing actually leaped out of the window!

Nizi's snow-white, beautiful naked body, like a piece of milky-white silk, fluttered and fell in the wind and rain...

In the rain, Xu Haibing took off his black smock as he ran.

He ran to Nizi, who was lying face down on the ground, wrapped the black blouse around her, and knelt down to hug her in his arms...

The rain suddenly stopped...

The colorful fragments fluttering in the exceptionally clear and bright sky after the rain were pieces of Nizi's clothes...

QQ Lost, Chapter 36 (1)

The subway station was deserted late at night.

Xu Haibing, having just gotten off the last subway train, climbed the steps with heavy legs.

His hair was disheveled, his expression was gloomy, and a black smock was draped over his shoulders.

Beautiful mountains, beautiful water, beautiful place

Every road is wide and broad...

The elderly blind couple I met last time were still standing close together at the corner, singing "My Motherland" with great emotion.

Xu Haibing walked past them with his head down as if he hadn't seen or heard them, but after stepping up two steps, he suddenly realized what was happening, turned back, took a coin out of his pocket, and put it into the blind couple's money box.

The elderly blind couple were singing "He was greeted by..." when they heard the noise, stopped singing, and quickly said, "Thank you."

Xu Haibing took two steps forward, then turned back, took out two coins, and put them into their money box.

The elderly blind couple were singing "Here comes..." when they heard the noise, so they stopped singing and quickly said, "Thank you."

Xu Haibing simply stood up and emptied all the pockets of his clothes, putting any money he found into the box.

The elderly blind couple were also moved to sing and thank the singers repeatedly.

"He was greeted by... thank you."

"He was greeted by... thank you."

"He was greeted by... thank you."

...

The night was deep.

Xu Haibing lay in bed unable to fall asleep, so he got up, turned on his computer, and logged into QQ using Shen Daxing's account number.

The QQ panel still pops up in the upper right corner of the computer screen, but the faces of the friends on it are all black and white.

Click the QQ icon on the status bar in the lower right corner of the screen with your mouse pointer to change "Invisible" to "Online".

In an instant, all the friends' faces on the QQ panel suddenly turned brightly colored and started flashing!

Xu Haibing, sitting in front of the computer, was immediately invigorated. He simply took off his "old man shirt," baring his chest, and clicked to read the messages from his friends one by one.

Immediately, QQ users flocked to him—no, they flocked to "Brother Erhei," to Shen Daxing, bombarding him with questions:

So handsome he got beaten up: "Hey! Long time no see!"

Meowing: "Oh, you're here! Where have you been, cat? What have you been doing these past few days?"

Old Berenstain Bears: "Okay? Little brother."

Water Spinach: "It's been a while since we last met, I've missed you."

Even more beautiful than Kelly Chen: "Dude, did you dream about me?"

A broken heart: "Hello, I have so much to tell you."

Princess Pearl: "You've gotten so pale from all that covering up, haven't you?"

"Looking at you to quench my thirst: 'You've finally shown yourself! I'm so eager to see you!'"

...

The pop-up dialog boxes clearly made him feel--

A series of warm, smiling faces;

A series of warm greetings;

Each and every one of them is so heartwarming!

"So handsome he got beaten up: 'You know what? Your suggestion really worked! My design won a Best Creativity Award. The prize money isn't much, but it's enough to treat you to two meals of Thirteen-Spice Lobster. You decide the time and place!'"

Meowing: "Did you find all the information you promised me? I need it!"

Old Berenstain Bears: "I tried the remedy you gave me, and after a week my feet weren't sweating as much. I never thought I could cure my chronic athlete's foot for just two dollars! Thank you so much!"

Water Spinach: "I've already signed up for the English class. You promised to tutor me, so don't be a bother later!"

Even prettier than Kelly Chen: "I made the face mask you mentioned last time, and it seems okay. It's just that the ratio of honey to rice powder is hard to get right. Um, could you come to my house and give me some personal guidance? My husband's away on a business trip, hehe, dare you come?"

A broken heart: "Thank goodness you patiently and kindly enlightened me that day, otherwise I would have wanted to die. Now I finally understand, that heartless, ungrateful man isn't worth dying for. It's my good fortune that he was exposed early; I'm overjoyed!"

Princess Pearl: "I didn't accept your criticism at the time, but thinking about it carefully, it's true. I'm starting to understand my parents. They work so hard from dawn till dusk. I'll never be stubborn again, I'll never argue with them again, I won't let them worry about me anymore, and I won't let their hair turn gray again..."

Wangm Quenches Thirst: "I'm so ashamed to face you again. Just like you said, I didn't catch the wolf in sheep's clothing that day, and I got myself into a mess. Before we even got to the hotel, she stole my rented phone while she was in the restroom. I had to stand outside the women's restroom for hours, and I almost got dragged to the police station by the old lady from the neighborhood committee for being a pervert. Sigh, if I keep going like this, I'll be a full-fledged hooligan. If only I had listened to you earlier!"

...

The handsome guy who got beaten up said, "Huh? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you jealous because I won an award? Oh, you must think eating crayfish is too low-class. Say something! What's there to be embarrassed about? Food is the most important thing for people. If I say something, you'll say I'm talking nonsense. Hey, what does achieving communism ultimately come down to? It's about food! Making sure everyone not only eats more and better, but also for free. Without food, any ideology is just nonsense; the people won't buy it! Let's skip the street food stalls. How about the Carnival Hotel? It's an eight-star hotel."

Meow: "It's driving me crazy! You haven't replied for ages. I've been telling you to practice Wubi input method since we met, and you're typing fluently now, but you insist on using Intelligent ABC to learn Mandarin more conveniently. Looks like you can forget about finding a girl online. Before you even had a chance to flirt, she'll already have a baby with someone else."

Even prettier than Kelly Chen: "Huh? You're ignoring me? Are you really scared? I was just kidding, haha, don't be so easily teased, look how red your face is."

Wangm Quenches Thirst: "You're not saying anything, you must be looking down on me, right? Don't block me! I know that in real life, people of your status and refinement wouldn't bother with someone like me, and if you ignore me online, I'll feel even more inferior. Didn't you say I have adolescent sex addiction and mania? Can the urology department at Gulou Hospital treat that?"

...

Xu Haibing simply watched quietly, without replying to anyone...

QQ Lost, Chapter 36 (2)

Netizens gradually began to have doubts.

"you busy?"

Are you really busy?

Are you Shen Daxing?

"You're not Shen Daxing?"

...

Suddenly, Xu Haibing seemed to see—in the many questioning faces of netizens—

A disheveled, blood-soaked female ghost is pointing at herself and screaming:

"He's not Shen Daxing—!"
