Dark Blood Age

In the evening before the darkness first descended on Earth, the setting sun was particularly beautiful. The east of the sky was as blue as the sea, without a single cloud, clear, vast and unfathomable; in the west, sunlight was shed on clouds, making them glow in red, their jagged peaks squashed together like the red cream on a birthday cake or like thousands of Fire Bugs in red armor.

Behind the beautiful scene, the sun, with its lingering face like blood, sank helplessly into the sea of clouds. Reluctant and unwilling, it glanced toward Earth for the last time and sent a wisp of red light into a clear floor-to-ceiling window a million miles away, and shed it in a room that was filled with smoke, turning into a tiny bit of heat energy.

Here, the same as the world outside, the shadows were driving away the sunlight at a rapid speed, snatching up the warm and bright places left by the setting sun on tables, sofas, and carpets, and the clear straight line between light and dark, was like the frontline of a fierce battle between two armies, with a dark army that kept winning and a light army kept losing.

At last, at some point, the exhausted light gave up the ashtray that piled with cigarette butts on the table, and the darkness that already waited for a long time swallowed up the ash at once without hesitation. The sparks of cigarette butts shining in the darkness were its flags of victory.

Its pride, however, did not last long. A big, sweeping hand forced down its “battle flag,” and instantly extinguished it. It was so angry that he sent forth a cloud of pale smoke, brandishing its sharp teeth and claws, at the owner of the big hand, the enemy in its eyes.

Seeing it was about to succeed in getting into the nostrils of the enemy, who had dared to snuff out its “battle flag”, and injecting a poison called nicotine into the enemy’s body, it felt elated. Wriggling its tiny, stripy body like a vengeful warrior, it was excited and pleased.

But unexpectedly, at this time the enemy suddenly opened “a bloody mouth”, spat out thick smoke, violently shredding its tiny body, easily tearing it into three sections. It hated the enemy. Although it was angry and unwilling, it could only see its body parts gradually scattered far away.

At the moment it was about to disappear, it vaguely discovered that the cloud of smoke its enemy spat out in the air seemed to also contain nicotine…

But in the bedroom he entered, there was no one in the bed. But before entering, he could see that the light in Song Ying’s room was on. If it weren’t for the fact that there was a security guard right below that window, he would have already climbed in through it

Standing behind the door of the bedroom, Chu Yunsheng listened carefully for a while, making sure that there was no one in the corridor. He then carefully opened the door, quickly approached the door of Song Ying’s room, and then tried to twist the handle.

The door was unlocked and there was light inside.

Chu Yunsheng held his breath, dashed inside, and took a quick glance around the room.

But there was no one in the room!

Chu Yunsheng frowned, then the faint water running sound was detected by his ears. The sound came from the bathroom in the room.

So it was in the toilet.

Chu Yunsheng heaved a sigh of relief. He had used so much black gas, it would be really a waste if he got nothing from this trip.

The bathroom was right next to the door, facing Song Ying’s beige-colored bed, and on the other side of the bed was the floor-to-ceiling windows. But the windows were closed at the moment.

Chu Yunsheng immediately went quietly to the floor-to-ceiling window, checked the situation outside if there were traces of Yu Jian and his men.

There was no movement outside except for a patrol officer checking the area with a flashlight, occasionally, he shone the light at the wall to check the building as well.

Chu Yunsheng immediately closed the curtain, turned around, at this time, from outside the door in the corridor came the sounds of footsteps, it instantly alerted him.

The footsteps in the night were very loud and clear, every step could be heard by Chu Yunsheng clearly. He, who had stayed in a dark environment for a long time, was very sensitive to the sound. When the footsteps stopped, he could immediately tell that the person in the corridor stopped before Song Ying’s room.

Chu Yunsheng looked downstairs through the crevice of the curtain, the patrol was still there, which meant he could not hide behind the curtain. But there was nowhere else he could hide. While he was trying to come up with an idea, from outside the door came Auntie Wang’s voice,

“Miss, I made a little snack for you.”

While she was talking, she did not wait for the response from Song Ying, who was inside the toilet, but directly twisted the door handle and was about to push in.

Chu Yunsheng’s heart instantly sank, killing her or disturbing the whole Song Family, none of them was a good choice.

At the last moment, he suddenly used the nine diagram of body movements, jumped over the bed, darted toward the toilet like a sharp arrow. He opened it, closed it, and put his hand over the mouth of Song Ying, who was startled while sitting on the toilet.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, it was as smooth as flowing clouds, and as fast as lightning.

But, suddenly, Chu Yunsheng’s forehead began to have cold sweat!

The person, who sat on the toilet with bare buttocks, was staring at him with a pair of beautiful and meaningful eyes. The surprised look on her face had a faint of confusion, and in the confusion contained both anger and shame, and some almost unnoticeable panic.

But that was not important. What was important was that that pair of eyes was not Song Ying’s!
