This Damned Thirst for Survival

In the middle of the night, it started to rain outside the window.

The rain in winter is as cold as ice. Jiang Luo was awakened by the sound of the rain. He stretched lazily on the bed, with long hair running across his neck, the young man stretched out his body to be slender and beautiful.

Jiang Luo's mouth was dry during this sleep, so he got up and went to the living room to pour a glass of water. The ginseng doll was also hung on his body, and his sleepy eyes said dimly: "Dad, I am also a little short of water."

This is the first winter that ginseng essence has spent in human society, and it is the first time to feel the power of heating. The heating is good, but it's a bit drying. Jiang Luo put a glass of water on the table for it, and he sat next to it and drank the water slowly.

The water stayed in the lips for a short time, and then slowly slid towards the throat. The table in the living room has not been cleaned up. After drinking a glass of water, the ginseng doll regained a little energy. It poked Jiang Luo's finger with a beard, and said with a voice: "Dad, there is someone outside the door."

Jiang Luo glanced outside the door and stood up lazily, "Stay here."

He walked to the door, took the utility knife that opened the express on the shoe cabinet in his hand, and looked out of the cat's eye. It was pitch black outside, and nothing could be seen. But when the ginseng doll said there were people, it must be someone. Jiang Luo slowly grasped the doorknob and pushed it open.

The hallway lights came on suddenly.

Sitting outside the door against the wall was a wet black figure. The ground was wet by the water on this person's body. He hugged his knees and buried his head, not knowing how long he had been sitting here. Several seconds passed after Jiang Luo opened the door before he raised his head dullly, revealing a familiar face.

Jiang Luo frowned and put away the utility knife: "Qi Ye?"

Qi Ye's face was blue and white, and his lips were purple from the cold.

He looked at Jiang Luo without focus, and looked at Jiang Luo for a while, his lips trembled, "...Jiang Luo."

He has a strong nasal voice, begging in a low voice, "Can you let me see Chi You?"

No one knew how Qi Ye got here, and what happened.

Jiang Luo took him into the house and called others. Everyone was taken aback by Qi Ye's state. Qi Ye's hair had become icy scum, and if he dragged it down, he would be frozen to death alive.

While others were busy setting up Qi Ye, Jiang Luo stood by the door of the guest room watching, and asked nonchalantly: "Why do you want to see Chi You?"

Qi Ye lowered his head and let others wipe his hair, Jiang Luo saw his fingers trembling uncontrollably. Qi Ye was silent for a while, and shook his head silently.

Jiang Luo folded his arms and leaned against the door frame. He squinted his eyes and examined Qi Ye's expression. Qi Ye looked like he was frightened by the collapse of his outlook on life.

He didn't continue to ask, "Let's talk about it after the trial."

Qi Ye's state was very wrong, and this kind of wrongness persisted until the beginning of the trial. He didn't say a word for the whole day, and drank a sip of water. When Jiang Luo and the others were about to rush to Xuanling to co-operate, Qi Ye asked to go with them.

Ge Zhu couldn't bear to say: "We and your father went to court. You'd better not go."

Qi Ye's voice was dry and dumb, "Take me with you."

They had to take Qi Ye with him.

After arriving at Xuanling Joint Office, Dean Xu was already waiting for them. Not seeing him for more than a month, the old man was in good spirits and his face was flushed. He saw Jiang Luo and several people arriving on time, and he immediately laughed, "Not bad, all of them are very energetic."

Dean Xu also saw Qi Ye who was in a trance, but he didn't say anything.

When Qi Ye left, Dean Xu's expression faded, "Is he a lobbyist sent by the old fellow Qi Yuan?"

Wen Renlian shook his head, "He is here to find Jiang Luo."

Dean Xu was a little surprised and thought for a while, until someone came to remind them that it was time to go through the process, Dean Xu took the students to the plaintiff's office.

The Xuanling Joint Office is a court that specializes in dealing with events in the metaphysical circle, and there are some differences in functions and procedures from the courts in ordinary society.

The leaders of the joint office sat in high positions with serious expressions. Just as Jiang Luo stood still, he saw Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye being led to the defendant.

They have dark eyes and messy clothes. They should have not slept for several nights. Their images are very embarrassing, and their original domineering arrogance has also disappeared a lot. And judging from the fact that these two people are ignorant of each other, there should have been a conflict.

The two of them also saw Jiang Luo. The black-haired young man stood straight and tall. He had a good rest yesterday, and he was full of energy at this time, and his appearance seemed to be shiny. After being glanced at by Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye, they were so provocative that they raised their lips.

Qi Yuan's anger burned, how dare this junior be so arrogant! He was about to get angry. At a critical moment, he remembered his current situation and thought of the attitude of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the fatalist. A basin of cold water poured down from his head, completely extinguishing his anger.

Sooner or later...

His eyes swept across Jiang Luo in the dark.

Sooner or later, he will solve Jiang Luo and Chi You together.

There were also few people sitting in twos and threes in the auditorium. Because this trial involves a lot of things, it should not be made public. Only a few close people can enter the court to listen.

After looking at the embarrassing attitude of the Patriarchs of Qi and Chi, Jiang Luo happily raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the auditorium inadvertently, and saw a calm and handsome man sitting in the middle of the auditorium.

The evil spirit had its long legs folded, and he looked at the court lazily with his head on the armrest. He changed into a slightly retro black suit, as if to match the cold of this season, with a black coat outside. The top hat loomed over his eyebrows, revealing only the pale face of a ghost. He looks like a gentleman in the Republic of China, wearing brand-new white gloves on both hands and leaning on a long slender cane.

The appearance of the evil spirit is simply conspicuous, but everyone seems to be unable to see him. Including the leaders of the Joint Office, Dean Xu and Qi Yuan Chi Zhongye, none of these industry leaders noticed that a calm evil spirit was sitting in the courtroom.

The evil spirit noticed Jiang Luo's gaze. He raised his head from under the brim of his hat, and Jiang Luo's dark eyes covered with shadows met Jiang Luo's eyes. His thin, straightened lips suddenly drew up, revealing a charming but evil smile.

Jiang Luo seemed to have seen an unexpectedly exciting and interesting gift, his heartbeat jumped two beats quickly, and quickly returned to normal. He stared at the evil spirit for a few seconds, and said silently, "Insane."

What is Jiyou dressed up?

Playing role-playing?

But let alone, it looks familiar.

Jiang Luo casually looked at the evil spirit while searching for familiar reasons in his memory. It didn't take long for him to remember that he once saw a black and white photo of a middle-aged man in the room of the young boy Chi You in the mirror. At the age of about thirty, the man dressed similarly to Chi You's current appearance. Based on the time difference between the Republic of China and the present, plus the Chi family's direct lineage each generation can only live for 30 years, that should be Chi You's grandfather.

But why did Chi You wear his grandfather's clothes to participate in this trial?

Jiang Luo felt as if a cat's paw was scratching him, making him tickled with curiosity from his soul. Can't help being attracted by Chi You's strangeness, and want to understand the reason.

Ye Xun beside him pulled La Jiangluo strangely, and looked at the place Jiang Luo was looking at, "Jiang Luo, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Luo said, "Did you not see?"

Ye Xun asked, "What should I see?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Luo retracted his eyes and deliberately said, "It's just a crazy face with a decent face, nothing good to look at."
