Tick.
One drop of blood dripped to the floor. Cheese took a deep breath when he looked at Nini, as well as the b.l.o.o.d.y knife in her hands, “Wind-Chasing Wolf! Come out! I know you are here! You are here!” Cheese was shouting in the warehouse.
Crack—the light turned on. Cheese saw a familiar but strange face… behind the wooden box. It reminded him of the moment when Wind-Chasing Wolf lay on the dirt with many wounds… He seemed to have been attacked by different groups.
Cheese didn’t know how much despair Wind-Chasing Wolf felt at that time and he couldn’t understand why Wind-Chasing Wolf would be so crazy now. The wound was bleeding. He wondered if Wind-Chasing Wolf regarded him as a friend or not… their friends.h.i.+p was scattering. This was a different kind of sadness that he had experienced since Shu You died. He said sorrowfully, “Wind, why did you hate me that much?”
Wind-Chasing Wolf smiled coldly and then jumped from the box. He waved to make Nini walk to him with her head lowered… she was like a servant. “I hate you?” Wind shook his head, “I despise you much more… I just want to let you know the feeling of being betrayed by others… Oh, I am so happy now for no reason.”
Cheese shook his head, “Is that interesting? You know that Nini wouldn’t behave like this if she was not controlled by you… Look at Nini, she isn’t behaving like she used to be.”
Wind-Chasing Wolf’s face fell, “Oh? You mean Nini won’t hurt you if she is normal? Cheese, don’t forget you are a mouse but she is a cat. You are born to be enemies. Are you sure that… these are not her real thoughts.” A red light flashed in Wind-Chasing Wolf’s eyes, “Can you trust her unconditionally? I don’t think you can.”
Cheese… Cheese looked at Nini subconsciously. He failed to say the words out. ‘I trust her… I trust her…I trust her… I should trust her… I should trust her… I… Why couldn’t I say it out?’
“Hahahaha!” Wind laughed loudly, “See, you are such a hypocrite. You hesitate… you don’t trust her at all.”
“No…” Cheese didn’t dare to look at Wind-Chasing Wolf directly but lowered his head, “It’s you… who influenced me. It’s you.”
“Yes.” Wind said, “You are correct… you blamed me… right? All of these wouldn’t happen without me. Nini wouldn’t have stabbed you if it wasn’t for me, right? Don’t be ashamed of yourself… because I am the initiator of evil. Cheese, well done! It’s all my fault, so that you are… still the nice guy… Well done!”
“What… are you going to do?” Cheese raised his head with his fist clenched.
Wind said, “Do you remember the compet.i.tion half a year ago? Let’s do it once again.”
“What?”
“Follow me, the place is not suitable.” Wind-Chasing Wolf smiled, “I know a good place.”

The Beautiful Lotus Gymnasium was one of the landmarks of this city. On the one hand, the government made a great effort to build it, on the other hand, it was very high. And it was decorated with a ring-shaped structure at the top—which seemed useless except for looking good. But it was truly a nice place for sightseeing—If the audience seats were like mountain tops, then the top of the gymnasium would be like a peak. For normal people, they were unable to climb up to the top of gymnasium regardless of how beautiful the scenery was… but for Luo Qiu, this was a VIP seat with his powers.
Luo Qiu and Miss. Maid looked at the luxurious gym, the surroundings, the people, and the monsters. They were watching the shadow by the wall, the shouting audience and the first singer on the stage as well as the running True Dragon.
“You Ye, do you know why the people came here together?” Luo Qiu stopped looking and asked You Ye. Luo Qiu failed to ask this question… last time. Now he did it.
“Is that because of fate?” You Ye answered lightly.
Luo Qiu smiled, “Is that your answer? Why did you answer me with a question?”
Miss. Maid frowned, “I don’t know the answer exactly. Master, what do you think?”
Luo Qiu shook his head, “It’s okay, because it is your understanding… as for me, I want to find the answer myself.”
You Ye nodded. She tidied her hair which was blown about by the wind. Then, she looked at one direction outside the gym, “It seemed that Tai Yinzi didn’t do the cleaning carefully.”
“I would have guessed it already.” Luo Qiu smiled, “So, I made him do the cleaning job… well, I bought the music alb.u.m of this singer before. They are letting Hong Guan go as the last singer… We can listen to the songs one by one.” After saying that, Luo Qiu started to listen with interest. Now, it was time for the second singer to perform.

It was amazing that the old man with an afro could ride a Harley motorcycle to pick up Cheng Yiran. Cheng Yiran felt that the old man had hidden this motorcycle under the bridge in advance… as he was enjoying the roars of the engine. Or else the old man wouldn’t have said ‘get on, no time to explain!’ after revealing the plastic sheet mixed in red, white and blue colors…
At this time, the old man driving the Harley bike stopped, leaving half a circle of skid marks—One could imagine how fast the speed was. Cheng Yiran was so scared, his wet T-s.h.i.+rt had already dried due to the fast speed. He got off the motorcycle with a pale face… yet, the old man was as calm as if nothing happened.
“It took seven minutes. Wow, I… my driving was pretty good, haha!” The old man with the afro was boasting and laughing. He said to Cheng Yiran, “Brat, you still not going in?”
Cheng Yiran was stunned, “Uncle, how did you know that I wanted to go in?”
“If not, why are you here? To drink the northwest wind?” The old man said while rolling his eyes, “Don’t hesitate, do whatever you want. I see you look much better than before, like a human.”
Cheng Yiran smiled bitterly, taking a deep breath, “Uncle, may I know your name?”
“My name?” The old man thought for a moment, “You can call me John·Lennon·Taiyin!”
“Pardon?”
“John! Lennon! Taiyin!” The old man snorted, “Are you clear?”
Cheng Yiran had heard about John and Lennon…. but what Taiyin meant… the old man was so energetic and weird. Cheng Yiran smiled, “I will call you uncle… Uncle, thank you so much. I am really sincere.”
“Enough, no more words!” The old man started the engine of the Harley again.
Cheng Yiran nodded to the old man with a deep breath. Then he ran into the entrance of the gym.
“Wait!” The old man shouted at him suddenly.
Cheng Yiran was shocked and saw the old man taking out a long box from one side of the motor—Cheng Yiran had seen the box just now and he wondered why such an ugly box would be carried on such a cool motorcycle. But he didn’t ask the strange old man just now.
However, the old man threw the box to Cheng Yiran right away… with all his strength! “This one is for you. Remember to return it back to me when you’re finished… I will come to you!”
Bang! The box landed on Cheng Yiran’s face. Then, the old man drove the bike away to the west. Cheng Yiran opened the box and found an old ba.s.s in it.
“Uncle… didn’t throw it away!” Cheng Yiran took the base with a smile on his face. But he couldn’t see the old man and the Harley already.

Ma Houde frowned… he found that there was a GPS device installed in the missing fire trunk. He had gotten the message from the fire brigade that the missing fire truck was located at the distance which was one kilometer away from the gym… but there was no reply from firemen who were on duty.
So, Ma Houde drove there himself and saw the truck by the roadside. However, when he stepped forward, he found that all of the firemen were lying on the truck as if they were in a coma.
“What…” Ren Ziling’s words occurred in officer Ma’s mind, ‘What if the fireworks explode? Has anyone called the fire brigade?’
“It can’t be…” Ma Houde s.h.i.+vered when he looked back at the gymnasium in a distance.
