Chapter 44 Yellow Raincoat
The pitch-black coupe drove out of the Yuxiang Home Community and sped through the rain.

"What's wrong with you?" Deng Yuxiang glanced at Lu Ran who was sitting next to her in the passenger seat while driving.

Lu Ran looked a little solemn, as if he was worried about something.

"Nothing." Lu Ran came back to his senses and tidied his hair that was wet by the rain with one hand.

"Nothing happened." Deng Yuxiang laughed, "It's like he lost his soul. He only remembered to bring a knife, and didn't even wear a raincoat?"

Hearing this, Lu Ran felt a little embarrassed.

Just now at home, Master Xianyang’s words really shocked Lu Ran.

He was so lost in thought that he even forgot how he got on the bus.

"Don't worry." Deng Yuxiang's voice was unusually gentle. "I'm here."

Lu Ran looked surprised and looked at the domineering daughter who was driving.

The two have known each other for more than a month, and this is the first time he has heard Big Nightmare speak so softly.

Deng Yuxiang: "July 15th is indeed unusual, but you really don't need to feel too much pressure.

If even I can't protect you, then you deserve to die."

Lu Ran: “Ah?”

Deng Yuxiang shrugged her shoulders: "At least your death was not unjust."

Lu Ran: “.”

I praised you for being gentle, but this is the result?

Lu Ran has experienced the level of comfort provided by Big Nightmare many times.

But every time, Deng Yuxiang has more shocking words.

"You." Lu Ran sighed and added in his heart: You always come up with some new ideas for me.

"What's wrong with me?" Deng Yuxiang glanced at Lu Ran.

"You are beautiful." Lu Ran turned his head to look out the car window, watching the street scene receding in the rain.

The weather forecast says it will rain in the next few days.

I’m afraid we won’t be able to see the moon on this fifteenth night.

The luxury coupe sped along and soon arrived at a desolate area and drove into the Wulie Riverside Community.

As the car came to a stop, Deng Yuxiang said, "I have a spare raincoat in the trunk. Wait, I'll get it for you."

As she spoke, she had already opened the door and got out of the car.

Lu Ran was really a little confused.

The big nightmare has changed?

Isn’t he such a nice person?

"Click."

The passenger door was suddenly opened, and Deng Yuxiang held up a yellow raincoat: "Put it on."

"Thank you." Lu Ran reached out to take the yellow raincoat, and an idea popped into his mind.

The nightmare is actually me?
Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang are of similar height, and the raincoat is loose, so it fits him well.

As Lu Ran got out of the car, Deng Yuxiang suddenly reached out and straightened his collar.

Such a gentle action made Lu Ran feel particularly uncomfortable.

Deng Yuxiang frowned slightly, looking dissatisfied: "What's that expression on your face?"

"Sister." Lu Ran was numb, "Don't do this, it makes me feel like I won't see the sun tomorrow.

Change back quickly, I can’t stand it.”

Deng Yuxiang smiled and glared at Lu Ran, then raised her hand and patted the brim of the raincoat hood lightly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah, it feels good~
"Follow me!" Deng Yuxiang turned and left.

Lu Ran took out the Xiaguang Sword from the back seat and quickly followed.

The two came to the residential building in the center of the community and climbed up to the roof.

On the dilapidated rooftop, all three teammates were there, but as for the mysterious Captain Ge Bin, Lu Ran still hadn't seen him.

"Report!" Deng Yuxiang shouted loudly.

Sun Zhengfang looked at the two "Minions" and pointed to the corridor entrance: "Go and get your equipment. In half an hour, we will walk through the area again."

"Yes!"

"Yes." Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang turned around and went back to the corridor. They picked up invisible headphones, headlamps and other equipment on a tattered wooden table.

Behind the table, there was another large saber, leaning against the corner of the wall.

That was Deng Yuxiang's weapon. It looked like it was made of ordinary steel, but Lu Ran knew very well that it was made of extremely expensive Tianchen steel!
The length of this knife is astonishingly long. The handle alone is about seventy to eighty centimeters long.

The blade is nearly 2 meters long!
At this length, the blade does not appear wide, but rather thin and long. It has blades on both sides, like a knife or a sword, and looks like a heavy weapon used by ancient cavalry, but Deng Yuxiang used it as an infantry weapon.

"Interested?" Deng Yuxiang put on her equipment and noticed Lu Ran's gaze.

Lu Ran nodded silently.

Deng Yuxiang really spoiled Lu Ran today: "Take it to the rooftop and play with it."

"What's it called?" Lu Ran was not polite. He took a step forward and held the magical weapon with both hands.

“Zanye.”

"So fierce?" Lu Ran raised his hand and gently stroked the cold blade.

Others are all "slaying demons and monsters" or something like that, but you're doing it differently, killing them at night as well?
Although the Zanyaya Sword was wiped clean, Lu Ran could faintly smell a hint of blood.

No one knows how many lives it killed at the hands of Deng Yuxiang.

"Is he very fierce?" Deng Yuxiang asked casually.

"Of course. Hmm?" Lu Ran's fingertips trembled slightly and he quickly withdrew his hand.

Seeing this scene, Deng Yuxiang showed a smile on her face.

“This Zhan Ye Dao” Lu Ran’s eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Deng Yuxiang, “Sword spirit?”

Just now, when Lu Ran's fingertips brushed across the blade, he clearly sensed a murderous intent.

This feeling of danger made Lu Ran's temple throb!
"Zan Yadao and I are just like him, only lacking the finishing touch."

Having said that, the smile on Deng Yuxiang's face gradually faded, and a sense of helplessness arose in her heart.

She is at the fifth stage of the River Realm, and is only one step away from being the “great power” in the eyes of the world.

Her Zanyaku Sword was only one step away from becoming a spirit.

However, this goal that seemed so close at hand was not achieved for a long time by both men and swordsmen.

"Let's kill Jin Ye, maybe it will work!" Lu Ran comforted.

Deng Yuxiang did not respond and remained noncommittal.

Lu Ran suddenly reached out and lightly flicked the blade of the Zanya Sword.

"Ding~" a crisp sound was heard.

Lu Ran looked at the silent woman and said, "You heard it. Zhan Ye also thought so."

"Haha." Deng Yuxiang laughed dumbly, "Who did you learn this little trick for self-entertainment from?"

Big Nightmare was very considerate and didn't say that Lu Ran was deceiving himself.

"Life."

The brief two-word response stunned Deng Yuxiang.

Lu Ran, holding the Zanyaku Sword, walked towards the rooftop.

A more accurate answer is: life as a young person living alone.

On the rooftop, the Wei brothers saw Lu Ran appear with a big knife, and a sense of anticipation arose in their hearts.

However, when Lu Ran started waving it, both brothers looked strange.

The hips are stretched!
Where has Lu Ran ever been exposed to this kind of "heavy weapons"?
He just felt dizzy and it was very difficult for him to dance!

Lu Ran also realized firsthand how terrifying the power of the Great Nightmare was!

In the end, it was Deng Yuxiang who saved Lu Ran and got the Zhan Ye Dao back in his hands.

It's not that she's stingy, it's mainly because she's afraid that Zan Yadao will be unhappy.
Deng Yuxiang really didn't expect that Lu Ran, who had always performed amazingly, would actually show his weakness and practice such an abstract sword technique.

He stumbled and twisted his body, like a lame man beating dates.

Deng Yuxiang was so angry that she just wanted to kick his good leg.
The day time passes by little by little.

Lu Ran followed the Moon Watching Team and patrolled the area step by step.

Until night fell, Yuxiang City fell into deathly silence.

Lu Ran stood at the empty intersection, under the street light.

The dim light matches the color of his raincoat very well.

in front of him,

There are some shops on both sides of the street, auto repair shops, hardware stores, supermarkets with locked doors, and pharmacies with bright signs.
Behind the store are residential buildings. Looking up, you can see warm lights on in every household.

behind him,

There are desolate lands that have been abandoned for a long time, and there are also dark and silent abandoned residential areas.

There are indeed street lights at the intersection.

But the figure standing in the rain seemed to be standing on the dividing line between light and darkness.

rain,
Go down and get bigger.

It seems to be foreshadowing something.
