Thousands of Hearts

"Um?"

Wang Yiyang slowly opened his eyes from his sleep.

In fact, he no longer needs to sleep, but because of his previous habits as a human, he prefers to follow such a regular life.

If it is not a necessary event such as cultivation, then he will usually set aside a little time to rest.

But this time, he didn't wake up naturally, but was awakened by some kind of reminder.

"The imprint I left on the node has been touched... have I encountered trouble so soon?" Wang Yiyang was a little surprised.

He checked carefully and found that the last node, Jayne Potter, had an abnormality.

The other party is in a rather tense and fearful state.

Wang Yiyang put on his robe, walked out of the bedroom, stood at the window and looked out.

The city at night is like a sleeping beast. Even in a deep sleep, one can still feel the ferocity and danger hidden in it.

"Are you a believer of the old gods?" Wang Yiyang's unscrupulous perception quickly spread out, and after locating Jayne, who was several kilometers away, he quickly understood everything.

"Interesting...they started to expand the scope to find the target so early..."

He quickly withdrew his perception to avoid being noticed by the icy being above his head.

After all, he didn't want to stand in the way of the ancient gods for nothing.

The old gods who have just awakened will have a violent temper. If they act carelessly, they may be mistaken for the ancient gods in advance and be besieged by the old gods.

"It's really troublesome if there are no subordinates who can be driven around." Wang Yiyang had the idea of ​​guiding some subordinates.

But that's a matter for later, and Jayne's side should be dealt with first.

He opened the window, his figure flashed, and disappeared into the room suddenly.

.........

.........

.........

Jayne ran wildly with Mirissa.

They made the sound of messy footsteps on the empty and dead street, and the surrounding houses of different heights were like beasts in the dark, from which a deadly threat could emerge at any time.

Both were exhausted.

But they didn't dare to stop at all, and there was always the rustling sound of chasing after them.

Those people in black robes who looked like mice were like ghosts, rushing out from some corners from time to time, trying to catch them.

Jayne dragged Mirissa to keep avoiding, looking for a narrow and remote place to run wildly.

Only such a place can prevent these black-robed men from encircling on a large scale.

As for alleys and the like that may be blocked, if it is an ordinary person, such a dilemma may arise.

But Jayne has lived here for many years and knows every alley here like the back of his hand.

So only he leads the enemy around the bend, and no one else takes him around the bend.

"Hold on... as long as we can run to the Security Bureau, we will be safe!" Jayne cheered up Mirissa who was already covered in sweat.

They were still a few hundred meters away from the Security Bureau.

But the footsteps behind him were getting closer.

"Thank you... Thank you! Brother Jayne..." Mirissa's face was flushed, and tears were about to flow out.

Although there were still pursuers behind her, her mood at this time was completely different.

She was helpless before, but now the two of them fled together, she seemed not as scared as before.

"It's okay...it's okay...we'll be saved, we'll be saved!"

Jayne kept repeating, pulling the girl and running wildly.

But he didn't pay attention at all. On the right side of the Security Bureau in front, behind a trash can, there was a Literate cultist in a black robe quietly hiding.

He only knew that as long as he could get close to the security station, he would be rescued.

After all, the Security Bureau is the city's security department that protects people!

Those cultists must be afraid of it!

With hope in his heart, Jayne dragged Mirissa all the way.

The distance of a few hundred meters was quickly reached, and he had exhausted all his strength, his legs were as heavy as lead, and his temples were throbbing violently in his head, as if his blood vessels were about to explode.

But since he promised Mirissa, he must take her to escape!

Just like at the beginning, he promised his mother that sooner or later he would take her to escape that house together.

Both are the same!

I don't know who ever told him.

A man can be poor, have no money, or be humble, but he must keep his promise!

As long as you keep your promises, you're still a man!

No matter what class of people, people who keep their promises are extremely valued.

Because this is one of the most valuable qualities of being a human being.

Jayne kept this sentence firmly in his heart.

"I will definitely take Mirissa and escape!!" Jayne stopped thinking about it and rushed towards the Security Bureau at full speed.

Boom!

At this moment, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from the back of the trash can on the left.

squeak! !

There was a sudden scream like a mouse.

Jayne was caught off guard and was about to be thrown to the ground.

He had almost seen the bloody dagger in the black robe's hand, and the abnormal scarlet eyes of the other party.

With that look, looking at him was like looking at slaughtered livestock. It's chilling.

Jayne always thought that he was a very brave person, but he didn't know it until this moment.

Facing ordinary knife-wielding gangsters and this kind of weird cultists are two completely different concepts.

So, he froze in fear, his whole body felt like an electric shock, completely numb and unable to move.

Boom!

The cultist slammed into Jayne hard, knocking him staggering. Just when it was about to stab Jayne through the heart with a dagger.

A burst of rapid screams floated from afar.

The Lite believer paused immediately, the red light in his eyes receded, he turned around and rushed in the direction of the cry.

Soon, he disappeared into the night, and his back was never seen again.

"Hoo...hoo...hoo!!" Jayne and Mirissa just sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

They were covered in torn clothes, covered in sweat, and extremely embarrassed.

His hair was still wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead.

"Jain?" Suddenly a peaceful voice came from the darkness on the right.

Jayne turned his head, just in time to see Wang Yiyang walking out of the night slowly with a short stick in his hand.

He was wearing a black tuxedo, a round hat, and a silver silk scarf on his chest, and he looked as if he had just returned from a walk.

Mr. Gorman takes a walk every evening, which is one of his habits since he moved recently.

It's just that he didn't expect that it was so late, and he was still outside.

"You look quite embarrassed, why don't you come to my place to rest." Wang Yiyang said calmly.

"No! I will implicate you, those cultists are chasing me!" Jayne didn't want to implicate anyone. Not to mention Gorman who gave him money.

"It's okay." Wang Yiyang said with a gentle smile, "If you are talking about those men in black robes before, I seem to have seen them all run away in one direction just now. Come on, I have hot water and hot milk here, you and Your little girl looks like she needs a break."

Jayne still wanted to refuse, but looked at Mirissa next to her, she was covered in scars and looked embarrassed.

His heart softened.

In addition, the Lite religion seems to have been withdrawn.

He finally nodded.

"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Gorman."

"No, you still have to work for me. If something happens to you, all my previous investment will be lost." Wang Yiyang blinked and smiled.

Mirissa on the side wanted to say something, but after Jayne whispered a few words, she was dragged in a daze, and followed Mr. Gorman together.

The group of three quickly walked through a block and came to a three-story villa at the end of the street.

Wang Yiyang opened the big iron gate of the outer yard, and took the two children straight into the living room on the first floor.

A roaring fireplace in the living room, a warm fire and a closed door gave the two children a great sense of security.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, everything will pass." Wang Yiyang poured a cup of hot milk for each of them.

"Now, you guys sit down first, rest on the sofa for a while, and talk about your business. See if I can help."

Jayne and Mirissa were almost moved to tears.

From the cold and desperate street to the warm and comfortable living room, there are also Wang Yiyang's gentle words of concern.

This made them seem to have risen from hell to heaven all of a sudden.

Jayne quickly explained his situation in detail.

His business was very simple. He met Mirissa asking for help. In order not to hurt his family, he took Mirissa and fled quickly, and then met Wang Yiyang.

Therefore, the root of the core lies in Milissa.

Milissa drank a cup of hot milk and slowly recovered.

Start to speak out what you know, the whole process.

"So, you were suddenly attacked by the Litterists? And up to now, Milissa's parents haven't come home?" Wang Yiyang fumbled for the obsidian on the top of the short staff, and asked softly.

"That's right, Mr. Gorman, can you find a way to find out how Mirissa's parents are doing now? I know it would be presumptuous to make this request, but we have no other way!"

Jayne said helplessly, "If you can help me once, no matter what you ask me to do, I will agree, even those things! I will do it too!!"

What he said was actually a serious violation of the law.

When he said this at the beginning, he still hesitated, but now looking at the beautiful and poor Mirissa beside him, it was as if a flame was burning in his heart, and he wanted to use all his strength to protect her and help her. he.

"Of course there is a way." Wang Yiyang smiled slightly.

He was afraid that Jayne would not come to beg him.

People, as long as they ask for something, they will not be invulnerable.

And Jayne, a kid, he likes it very much.

He likes kids who keep their promises.

So, he made a decision.

"Jain, are you willing to be my adopted son?"

Adoption is a unique relationship in this world.

Generally, it is similar to the relationship between godfather and son, and it is also a bit like adoptive father and son.

The adoptive son needs to fully trust and respect the adoptive father, and the adoptive father also has the obligation to raise and educate the adopted son.

This is a real relationship with the force of law.

Jayne was not a fool, he was overjoyed at the first moment, let go of Mirissa, took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee facing Wang Yiyang, and put his hand on his heart.

"I do!"

Wang Yiyang put his right hand on top of his head, and lightly tapped his forehead with his fingers.

"Then, I hope you can keep your promise."

"Jayne will never let you down." Jayne has seen many swearing-in ceremonies of gang members on the road, and knows how to answer at this time.

He is a very bright boy.

So it is very clear how lucky I am to befriend someone of Mr. Gorman's level.

Therefore, no matter what price he has to pay in the future, he has no regrets at this moment.

"Okay, it's too late today, you guys just rest here for the night, and I'll go to deal with Mirissa's parents. There will be news back soon."

Wang Yiyang ordered.

"yes!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gorman!"

Jayne and Mirissa responded quickly.

 …

 …

 …

In the night, Wang Yiyang left the villa and walked slowly on the dark street.

His steps were slow, but his speed was strangely fast.

A street can be crossed in only ten seconds.
