Jiang Lin smiled slightly, but did not offer any profound explanation.
Huang Quan took a deep breath, said nothing more, and directly pulled out the knife, while the train faded away once again.
At that moment, Jiang Lin, who was on the opposite side of the Yellow Springs, instantly felt an unknown influence, as if he had traveled through the void of time and space.
Jiang Lin looked at Huang Quan, whose indifferent eyes seemed to hold countless hands trying to drag his soul into the deep sea...
But Jiang Lin was unaffected by it until, a moment later, the feeling intensified again, at which point Jiang Lin seemed...
Did I see a huge, pitch-black sun?
Jiang Lin quickly lowered his gaze, his pupils dilating slightly, causing his vision to become somewhat blurry.
After exhaling a deep breath, Jiang Lin's vision cleared, and what came into view was Huang Quan's exquisite jawline.
But what's most striking is that bright red tear stain.
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, then, for some reason, took out a small test tube and, under Huang Quan's bewildered and helpless expression, began to collect her blood and tears.
Huang Quan looked at the test tube pressed against his face, opened his mouth slightly as if to say something, but changed his mind before he could finish.
"Or, should I do it myself?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and nodded.
Huang Quan caught the test tube shoved in his face with one hand, while holding the knife in the other, unsure where to put it...
But just a few seconds later...
"Um... I'm almost out of tears..."
Looking at the red liquid in the test tube that had stopped rising, Jiang Lin suggested:
"How about I find you two deceased people?"
Huang Quan was surprised by Jiang Lin's thought process.
"I remember you said something like—that you are willing to mourn for the deceased, right?"
Huang Quan: ......
"Okay, just kidding, that's about it."
As he spoke, Jiang Lin took the test tube from Huang Quan, sealed it, and put it away.
"Thank you for your cooperation. I will go back and look into it. I will let you know when I have the results."
As he spoke, Jiang Lin planned to return to his room on the train, since it had been equipped with fairly complete facilities.
Huang Quan nodded, and this absurd series of actions was finally over. But then Jiang Lin seemed to have thought of something and turned back again.
"Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you."
Huang Quan was slightly taken aback, but what happened next made her eyes light up.
Suddenly, Jiang Lin conjured up a peach that was bigger than himself.
After doing all this, Jiang Lin returned to his room.
Huang Quan, who remained where he was, looked at the large peach in front of him and didn't know where to start eating it.
Then he looked at the peach, and then at the katana in his hand...
"Hmm... let's cut it open first, then pull the knife out again, it should be fine..."
Meanwhile, Pam, in the train conductor's cabin, couldn't help but feel worried as she sensed the commotion in the observation car...
Chapter 92 The Eve of the Grand Music Ceremony
Back in his room, Jiang Lin took a drop of red liquid from the test tube and carefully sealed the rest away.
Once everything was ready, immersive research began.
On Sunday, after Sand Gold left, Sunday fell into deep thought alone.
The family now knows he has woken up, and it's estimated that his family's judgment will soon befall him.
He didn't care about his own fate, but he really didn't want to drag the robin down with him...
Then he recalled his conversation with the company envoy, Sandstone:
"The company can help you get rid of your family's eyes and ears and help you leave Pinocone."
"What's the price?"
"The price? Well, someone has already paid it for you. All you need to do is not let her down."
"The robin..."
"Heh, rather than calling it a price to pay, it's more like an investment..."
"What did you do?"
"You'll find out later."
"...Don't sit on my bed."
"..."
Just as he was lost in thought on Sunday, a cell phone next to his bed suddenly vibrated.
Everything he originally owned, including his cell phone, had been confiscated by his family. This phone was left behind by Sand Gold before he left.
But the moment I got my new phone on Sunday, I immediately re-added Robin as a friend...
The message was sent by a robin.
"Robin: Brother, I received a last-minute notice that the Harmonious Music Ceremony will be reorganized on the Hue-Chang-Shi ship, so I won't be going back for the time being."
"Robin: Oh, by the way, I've prepared a healthy and delicious nutritious meal for you. A nurse will bring it to you, so remember to eat well."
Sunday: Well, have a good day.
After asking around, Liu Ying finally found the room of "Ci Yu Pawnshop" where the jade was located.
"Welcome, Ciyu Pawnshop, Huichangshi Branch. How should I address this lady?"
Emerald smiled slightly, looking at the fireflies in front of her.
"Just call me Samuel."
Liu Ying also introduced herself very politely. Although her name was fake, her smile was very sincere.
"That's a very nice name. So what do you want? And what are you willing to pay for it?"
Liu Ying paused for a moment, then spoke seriously, but with a hint of heaviness in her voice.
"I want to live. I'm willing to risk everything for this wish."
"Everything that belongs to me?"
Yes, everything.
Although Liu Ying still had a smile on her face, the determination in her eyes even moved Fei Cui slightly.
After looking at her for a few seconds, Emerald turned away.
“Miss Samuel, please leave. I think you don’t fully understand the definition of ‘pawning.’”
At this moment, Liu Ying also stopped smiling and frowned slightly, as if she wanted to show a serious expression, but the way she actually looked made people feel a little aggrieved.
"What do you mean?"
The jadeite tilted its head slightly, as explained below:
"It means exactly what it says. I can feel your strong will to survive, it burns like a raging fire; but in contrast, you have nothing to offer as collateral."
"Oh...I see."
Liu Ying lowered her head slightly and came up with a brilliant idea.
"As expected, the so-called 'pawnshops that grant wishes through collateral'... it's just a charade."
That's right, it's a tactic of reverse psychology. It's old-fashioned, but it's effective.
Upon hearing Firefly's words, Jade turned around and looked at the somewhat dejected Firefly once more.
"These are very serious accusations, it's normal that you don't understand. But that's okay, I'll help you see things clearly."
Go find these men; they've all patronized my pawnshop. See for yourself whether their wishes have been fulfilled.
Then come back to me, and I will help you understand what "pawning" means, and also help you realize what you are lacking.
After hearing these words, Firefly took the list from Emerald's hand and left the room.
But at this moment, Firefly had some doubts...
"She...doesn't she look like a loan shark?"
Since Firefly had nothing to do at the moment, she decided to go check on these people first...
Just then, Xing arrived at the same time, but they missed each other.
Well, under Xing's constant abstraction, March 7th finally couldn't bear it anymore and, like Danheng, secretly left.
Xing suddenly felt a little bored.
But when I picked up my phone and saw the messages in the group, I realized that Jiang Lin had also come to the Huichangshi. So I thought about finding him and then the two of us doing something abstract together.
But Xing was nowhere to be found, and Jiang Lin didn't reply to her messages. Helpless, she could only wander around here, hoping to run into him.
Not long after, she found this place.
When Emerald saw Star enter, she smiled and greeted him.
"Hello, lively young lady, welcome to 'Ciyu Pawnshop.' How should I address you?"
Xing smiled slightly and replied in a deliberately profound tone:
"I am Jiang Lin."
Emerald nodded slightly, calmly looking at the stars.
"Hmm...not a bad name, but it lacks some merit. So, Miss Jiang Lin, what do you want? And what are you willing to give up for it?"
Xing was slightly taken aback, then seemed to realize something... immediately put her hands on her hips, straightened her back, and said with great self-satisfaction:
