Chapter 23: CH 23

Due to both his spirit and body being stirred into a frenzy, Lian Qiao couldn’t fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the big boss beside him had disappeared. Lian Qiao jumped up from the bed like a spring. He didn’t sleep well last night and this action was too violent. He was dizzy and almost fell backwards. He rubbed his eyes and finally calmed down, only to find that the boss was standing by the edge of the window sill, staring out the window silently.

The boss seemed to be thinking in a daze and didn’t even hear the sound of him getting up. Lian Qiao was about to say hello to the boss when he suddenly felt that he didn’t look quite right.

He saw Xu RenDong leaning against the window sill, his posture looking very relaxed. However the line on his back was still elegant and straight. He looked like a ballerina, even at rest he was still dignified.

However, there was also a trace of fatigue in this dignity. Lian Qiao couldn’t tell exactly. Like a white swan drinking by the lake, his neck is still beautiful and long and his wings are still white and flawless. But in fact, he was already exhausted and his throat was parched. Perhaps he didn’t even have the strength to fly again. Once the danger came again, he would not make any struggles to resist, and would only accept death gracefully and calmly.

Because he was already too tired.

Xu RenDong obviously just stood there by the window and Lian Qiao had no idea where his thoughts were coming from. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if there was something he had to do but hadn’t done. His heart was sour and swollen and his chest was stuffy and painful. It seemed that something could no longer be restrained and wanted to gush out.

Just when he made up his mind to ask what Xu RenDong was thinking, Xu RenDong suddenly looked over. The gloom in his eyes was fleeting and he returned to his usual appearance.

“Good morning,” he said.

Lian Qiao was about to say “Big brother, you’re up early” when he suddenly felt that the words “big brother” sounded too frivolous at this time. So he omitted the honorific title and changed his words: “Good morning.”

“Catch.” Xu RenDong suddenly said this and at the same time he picked up a long object from beside the wall and threw it at Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao reflexively caught it and looked down. It turned out to be a metal crowbar.

“The Holy Sword of Physics!” Lian Qiao exclaimed.

Xu RenDong smiled slightly: “Yes. The Holy Sword of Physics.”

“Where did you find it? Is this for me? What about you?” Lian Qiao was surprised and forgot the newcomer rule of “Don’t ask a million questions of the big boss”. He couldn’t hold back all the doubts and excitement in his heart.

Fortunately, Xu RenDong didn’t get annoyed but didn’t answer him either. He just said gently: “Put your clothes on and let’s have breakfast.”

Lian Qiao reluctantly picked up the crowbar and followed him happily. When the two people came down the stairs and walked to the second floor, Xu RenDong suddenly stopped and pointed to the room at the top of the stairs and said, “Is that blood oozing under the door?”

Lian Qiao looked in the direction of his fingers and as expected there was a large area of ​​dried blood on the ground and it had even formed a dark red ice ball. According to the laws of horror movies, something must have happened to the people inside the room. Judging from the amount of bleeding, the scene inside should be extremely bloody.

Hsss- it felt scary, he didn’t want to go in!

But he didn’t get in, he might miss some important information. At least he needed to find out who the dead person was and what their corpse looked like.

But he was still a little scared!

Unexpectedly, before Lian Qiao had finished pumping himself up mentally, Xu RenDong had already walked to the door of the room, raised his long legs and kicked the door open.

Lian Qiao: “?!” Fuck! Boss, calm down! You can easily be killed by opening the door like this!

The door of the room was not very strong and was kicked to pieces all at once. Xu RenDong glanced inside and his expression was very calm. When Lian Qiao saw his calm expression he became bolder, leaned forward and said, “This…”

Before he finished speaking, Xu RenDong suddenly raised his hand and pressed it over his eyes.

Lian Qiao: “???”

Xu RenDong: “Hold the crowbar.”

Lian Qiao: “…oh.” Although he didn’t know why, he still clenched the crowbar obediently.

Xu RenDong: “There are two people inside who have been broken into pieces so be mentally prepared. When you’re ready, let me know.”

Lian Qiao only felt that Xu RenDong’s hands on his eyes were delicate and slightly cold. This was the first time he had had physical contact with Xu RenDong and he couldn’t help swallowing nervously: “I’m ready.”

Xu RenDong slowly removed his hand. Even though Lian Qiao was mentally prepared, when he opened his eyes, he was still taken aback by the sight of the room.

The whole room seemed to be fished out of a blood tank; the floor, walls, ceiling…there was blood everywhere and there was almost not a single clean place. A large number of corpse parts and internal organs were scattered on the ground and the original shape could no longer be distinguished. The smell of blood was mixed with the stench of internal organs, even if Lian Qiao had expected what he would see, his throat was still choked up by the strong smell. He instinctively covered his mouth and backed away.

He just staggered two steps before he felt a warmth in his shoulders. Xu RenDong held his shoulders and supported him: “Yes, there is progress.”

His tone seemed to be holding back a smile. Lian Qiao felt confused but then he heard Xu RenDong say again: “It seems that chocolate is not needed this time.” 

Lian Qiao: “What? What kind of chocolate?” He was still thinking about the church roof that looked like Kisses last night. The greedy worm in his belly was immediately hooked out.

Xu RenDong said regretfully, “I thought you would at least scream even if you didn’t hiccup, but now it looks like…”

Lian Qiao reacted quickly. He yelled with the spirit of good acting, “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh someone’s dead ah!”

Xu RenDong: “…”

Lian Qiao thought that he didn’t look scared enough or maybe not cute enough, so he wasn’t being adequately lovable. So he cupped his hands around his cheek like in the painting “The Scream”: “Ahhhhh! Someone come help! Someone died! Ahhhh!” 

Xu RenDong was amused by his exaggerated performance. He immediately took out the chocolate: “Okay stop making trouble, I’ll give it to you.”

Lian Qiao was extremely surprised: “Really!” He happily stretched out his hand but before touching the chocolate, he shrank back with embarrassment, “Did you bring this chocolate in?” 

The boss didn’t look like someone who liked to eat sweets. Chocolate melted easily and was generally only carried by people with low blood sugar. If the boss brought chocolate in because he had low blood sugar, then he would be too embarrassed to take it.

Xu RenDong said casually: “No, I picked it up on the side of the road.”

“Oh!” Lian Qiao got the answer he wanted and immediately threw his worries out the window and took the chocolate with a grin.

The chocolate melted in his mouth and the strong cocoa aroma spread through his entire mouth instantly. Even his saliva became sweet. Lian Qiao sipped the chocolate contentedly and did not forget to thank him: “It’s so sweet, thank you.”

Xu RenDong looked at his curved eyes and smiling face. His mood suddenly improved.

At this time, other people who heard the screams also rushed to the scene. No one needed to explain the situation. Everyone knew what was going on as soon as they looked at the horrible state of flesh and blood in the room and their complexions suddenly became ugly.

Yuan XueMing sighed: “It seems that finding the elevator and buttons is not enough this time. We still have to follow the task step by step.”

Xu RenDong didn’t say a word. He really doesn’t understand why the elevator couldn’t run? Was it true what Yuan XueMing said? Had he jumped too many steps at once, and the world wouldn’t allow him to cheat??

For others, this was the first time they had such a close encounter with death. And it was a very miserable and tragic death of being ripped apart too. All their faces were very bad. At this time, Yuan XueMing took out the demeanor of a big brother, comforted everyone and then took them downstairs to eat.

Xu RenDong glanced deeply into the room before going downstairs. This time he still failed to record the names of the two men and only vaguely remembered that the young man in blue was a truck driver. The other man in black was a college student who was still studying. They were both still very young.

He thought he could save everyone, but in the end he still failed to prevent death from occurring.

He regarded himself as the savior of the world but in fact he was only just a mortal. He even gave up the chance of escape that was in front of him and chose to commit suicide to save others… Now it seemed ridiculous.

He was too arrogant.

Xu RenDong thought this way and inadvertently showed fatigue again. Lian Qiao looked at him quietly, feeling inexplicably hurt.

He thought about what he could do for him so he ran downstairs and found a small milk pot in the kitchen. He boiled the milk to the right temperature and brought it to Xu RenDong, wanting to please him: “Big boss, do you want to drink milk?”

He never thought that the smell of milk made Xu RenDong suddenly cranky:”No, take it away!”

Lian Qiao:.” …… Okay. “

Damn! It turns out that the big boss doesn’t like to drink milk!

But when the boss looked angry, he also looked a little cute. Lian Qiao felt that Xu RenDong at this time no longer had the cold, priest-like abstinence, but looked more human.

Think about it like this; he was also a picky eater!

Lian Qiao suddenly felt that the boss was cuter and it was simply too charming!  Then he felt embarrassed about his “M” {masochistic} tendencies. He had obviously just been scolded but inexplicably felt like he liked the big boss even more!

Geez.

After breakfast, everyone decided to go to the church again. Xu RenDong, who had not eaten breakfast, seemed to be in a bad mood. Lian Qiao didn’t dare to speak too much and the whole way was as quiet as a chicken.

After arriving at the church, the crowd divided into two groups and explored the church separately. Xu RenDong did not participate in the exploration but sat on the bench in the chapel with no interest, raising his head and staring at Jesus. His expression was depressed and he didn’t say what he was thinking.

Lian Qiao saw that his previous anger seemed to have disappeared so he dared to move forward, and asked very dogmatically: “Big boss, are you hungry? Do you want to eat a piece of bread?” and took out his specially prepared Leba bread for the big boss.

When Xu RenDong saw the bread, he immediately covered his mouth and retched.

Lian Qiao was shocked: “Are you okay, big boss?!”

Xu RenDong took a deep breath and said desperately, “You stay away from me.”

Lian Qiao stepped back ten steps sadly: ” …Okay.” 

It’s over. He had successfully angered the boss again. But the boss is really picky. He doesn’t drink milk or eat bread. Was he an exclusive Chinese food eater?

In any case, if he really continued to make trouble like this, the boss’s affection for him might really drop to a negative value. He didn’t dare to wander around in front of the boss anymore and decided to start exploring this church. As soon as he arrived in the hallway behind the chapel, he remembered the incident of being pushed into the wall by the boss yesterday.

By the way, he hadn’t figured out yet why  the boss would violently attack him?

…It may be that I stepped on a certain thunder spot of the boss unknowingly.

Alas, he obviously wanted to spoil his fan but in the end he provoked his thunder every time he opened his mouth. It was better to be a cold idol type who didn’t speak.

The more Lian Qiao thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He decided to find a corner to squat down in and feel sorry for himself. He remembered that the hidden room behind the wall was very suitable for growing mushrooms in, so he felt along the wall and found the location of the hidden room. He held his breath and walked into the wall.

One minute later.

“Fuck! Big boss! Come here!” Lian Qiao yelled and ran back to the chapel. He almost couldn’t break in time and nearly knocked into Xu RenDong on the bench.

Xu RenDong grabbed him with quick eyes and hands. Seeing that he was so flustered, he didn’t mind the distasteful title and just asked: “What’s wrong?”

“The elevator! Uh…” Lian Qiao struggled with his words and said, “The elevator is here!”

Xu RenDong was taken aback. Lian Qiao scratched his head: “The elevator button is glowing. I pressed it once and the elevator door opened! Do you think we can clear the instance?”
