Chapter 97 A Camellia
It was drizzling and the sky was gradually getting brighter.

The evil spirits retreated, leaving only a ruined town.

In the old house, Lu Ran received phone calls one after another. The people who survived the disaster reported to each other that they were safe.

One of the calls came from Beijing.

My mother must have just retreated from the battlefield when she heard about what happened in Yuxiang City.

Obviously, among the two special events, the influence of "the advent of the devil" is far greater than that of "ghosts walking at night"!
Even if there were a thousand evil demons from the Wuxi River Realm wandering around, they would still be far less powerful than a demon lord from the Sea Realm showing up.

"I'm really fine, Mom." Lu Ran sat on the small bed, "I'm far away from where Yin Huadan appeared.

Moreover, as soon as she appeared, before she could even start singing, she was led out of the city by the Wusheng followers."

Qiao Wanjun: “Rain Alley City seems to be cursed.

Stop being there and go home."

Lu Ran remained silent and did not respond.

The dark clouds that linger all year round in Yuxiang City and the seemingly never-ending drizzle have always been criticized.

Two special events in a row have added an even darker gloom to this precarious little town.

The question is. Go home?

This is my home.

"Ranran?"

"Isn't it like this all over the country?" Lu Ran said.

This time, it was Qiao Wanjun's turn to be speechless.

Indeed, this is the case everywhere, not just the whole country.

The evil demon clan is becoming more and more rampant, and is visibly becoming stronger!

All these signs make people worry whether the gods can still suppress the evil.

Lu Ran continued, "In the capital, even an ordinary fifteenth night is much more intense than the ghost parade in Rain Alley City."

"That's true, but we shouldn't compare them like this." Qiao Wanjun said softly, "The guards here are stronger."

My mother's words were relatively tactful.

The defense force of the capital city is many levels higher than that of Yuxiang City.

Powerful Sword One believers like her are stationed in the city all year round.

Where is the rainy alley?
If the Demon King had not come to the world, Lu Ran would probably never see a Wusheng follower appear in the Rain Alley in his lifetime.

"I'm fine, Mom. I'm fine."

Lu Ran stopped talking and suddenly shrugged his nose.

Sniff~
"Oh," Qiao Wanjun sighed.

I have to say that Lu Ran is indeed very skilled.

It could make such a cold and aloof follower of Jian Yi feel helpless and sigh repeatedly.

If it were Qiao Yuanxi, Qiao Wanjun would have given the order directly.

Don’t understand?
It doesn't matter what you think, as long as you understand it during execution.

disobedient?
Then kneel down until you obey.

During the years that he lived in the capital, Lu Ran had witnessed with his own eyes the overly naughty little Yuan Xi being punished by his mother to kneel down.

Even eating and drinking are not allowed.

He still remembered that day, he hid a hamburger and secretly delivered it to Xiao Yuanxi at night.

It seemed that it was from that time that Xiao Yuanxi fell in love with this food.

Thinking about it now, it’s really interesting.

Little Yuanxi, who was kneeling in the living room as punishment, wolfed down the hamburger like a little refugee, making "woohoo" sounds while eating it.

And the mother was resting in the bedroom at that time, how could she not hear it?

"Mom, you should get some rest. You've been guarding the city all night, which is very exhausting."

Qiao Wanjun stopped trying to persuade him and asked, "Are you still going to practice with Yuan Xi this month?"

Lu Ran immediately said, "Let's see what the situation is. I'll discuss it with her."

"Yeah." Qiao Wanjun responded softly and hung up the phone.

Lu Ran put down his phone, stood up, walked to the closet, and took out a yellow raincoat.

Then, Lu Ran came to the window sill and opened the window with one hand: "Eavesdropping?"

Outside the window, Deng Yuxiang was standing sideways with a knife in one hand and his back against the wall.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Ran: "Very warm."

Lu Ran looked at the wet Big Nightmare and asked, "Looking for me to do a mission?"

Deng Yuxiang shook her head: "I just happened to be patrolling here, to see if you are still alive."

Lu Ran carefully observed her expression and couldn't help but feel happy. He asked tentatively, "Captain Sun?"

"He's been rescued." A rare smile appeared on Deng Yuxiang's face.

It was the fifteenth night and the wind and rain were strong.

The small town in Yuxiang has been devastated.

At this moment, the smiling face of the big nightmare is out of tune with this devastated world.

Lu Ran seemed to see a camellia slowly blooming in a ruin. Bright and beautiful.

"Let's go." Deng Yuxiang exerted force on her back and used the rebound force to stand up straight.

She came here for only two things: one was to see if Lu Ran was okay, and the other was to report the good news.

Now that it's over, it's time for her to continue her mission.

"Your raincoat." Lu Ran said immediately.

Deng Yuxiang stopped and asked: "Are you planning to return it to me?"

"Isn't this natural?" Lu Ran handed over the raincoat, "Besides, I have another one.

There’s no point in keeping so many, since two pieces can’t be combined into one of higher quality.”

Deng Yuxiang: "Yutang said that you are a little money-grubber."

Lu Ran: “Ah?”

Deng Yuxiang pointed to the raincoat and said, "This piece of clothing is not much cheaper than his red scarf."

Lu Ran was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, that red scarf was worth several thousand yuan?
Good guy~
Why would you spend several thousand to buy something that only costs 9.9 yuan and includes free shipping?

"You're really willing to spend money." Lu Ran touched the material and found it was indeed quite good, but it was also ridiculously expensive.

Deng Yuxiang reached out to take the raincoat and said, “Maybe one day, I will be gone.

If you like it, just buy it. Why care so much? "

Lu Ran: “.”

There's no way to refute this.

Especially for people like Deng Yuxiang who always fight on the front line, they really have to live with their heads on the line.

"Since it is only natural, shouldn't you return the other one to me?" Deng Yuxiang said casually as she put on her raincoat.

Lu Ran changed the subject: "Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Huh?" Deng Yuxiang was a little surprised.

Isn't this a very abrupt change of topic?
What made Deng Yuxiang even more confused was that she had never heard the word "please" from Lu Ran's mouth.

Given their life-and-death friendship, is there a need to go to such great lengths?
Lu Ran said, "Can you talk to the Divine People Bureau for me and let me join the patrol team next month?"

Deng Yuxiang understood, and after a moment's silence, he said, "The evil spirits invading the city are getting stronger and stronger.

The intensity of our city patrols is also increasing.”

Lu Ran nodded and said, "Then you need me even more."

"Haha." Deng Yuxiang laughed in silence.

She wanted to retort, but she had just gone to the door for help last night.

Lu Ran fought for an opportunity for himself: "I am a radar, I can control it, and I don't have to kill the enemy at close range, it's not as dangerous as you think.

With me in charge, everyone can do their job better."

Deng Yuxiang nodded slightly.

The only problem is that Lu Ran is still a student.

No matter what, he is a group that needs to be protected.

"Can you talk to the Divine and Civilization Bureau for me?" Lu Ran's face was full of anticipation.

Deng Yuxiang looked directly into Lu Ran's eyes: "Think it over carefully."

"Of course I've thought about it." Lu Ran pressed on, "Not just next month, I want to patrol with you every month."

Deng Yuxiang suddenly reached out.

The wet palm was pressed on Lu Ran's head, rubbing it gently:

"Are you so afraid of my death?"

Lu Ran: “.”

Are you being too sentimental?
I do this to better nourish the statues of gods and demons.

Well, you can’t blame Big Nightmare for misunderstanding, because she didn’t know she owned a sculpture park of gods and demons.

What's more, there is nothing wrong with what Deng Yuxiang said.

Of course Lu Ran didn't want to see any harm to his comrades.

"Hmm?" Deng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows slightly, with a probing look on her face.

"You are my brother's biological sister, so if you round it off, that makes you my sister!"

Lu Ran said stubbornly, "It's my duty to take care of my family."

"Oh." Deng Yuxiang smiled, her eyes softening a little, "I'll give it a try."

With that said, she turned and left.

"Don't try!" Lu Ran looked at her back, "You have to go all out and fight for it!"

Deng Yuxiang did not look back, but just raised her hand and waved it casually.

The figure in the yellow raincoat flew up, carrying a long Zan Ye sword, flew over the roof of the residential building, and disappeared without a trace.

"Bang." Lu Ran closed the window, took a step diagonally backward, and sat down in front of the shrine.

Tried my best,
Just wait for the good news.
