I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]-Chapter 35
Chapter 84: 4.21 Third Blue Star – Found you~
Murder Case in 13th Street.
Yun Li, Xu Lun and Xie Ye watched as Hei Lan used his ability to empathize with the murderer from the event that took place in this manor. With his eyes closed and concentrating on his task, Xu Lun’s face looked even more bewildered the longer he observed Hei Lan. His change of expression was noticed by his lover, Yun Li and asked him for the reason.
“Is there a problem A’Lun? Your expressions are weird.” said Yun Li.
Xu Lun took a moment before answering, “Don’t you think Hei Lan feels too similar to Gui Lan?”
Yun Li’s silence gave him the answer of agreement. But before they could continue this conversation Xie Ye who was smoking not far from them interrupted their conversation.
“Don’t talk nonsense. He is not Lan’er.” said Xie Ye.
These words from Xie Ye ended the conversation in an instant. Xu Lun didn’t speak anymore about Gui Lan. If Xie Ye says this person is not Gui Lan then he isn’t. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
.....
“I won’t speak anymore nonsense.” said Xu Lun as he averted his gaze from Hei Lan.
Only the always silent Yun Li glances at Hei Lan then to Xie Ye whose crimson eyes show conflict deep within. Noticeably that even Xie Ye is having second thoughts about Hei Lan’s identity but since he doesn’t have proof he couldn’t get involved. If Hei Lan is indeed Gui Lan then he only needs to ask. He feels that as long as he truly believes that Hei Lan is Gui Lan then he will get his answer. That’s what his intuition says. There is no way two people in this world will have the same sound of heartbeat. He knew that Gui Lan’s heartbeat never changes in normal circumstances. It only changes when he is around Xie Ye. Coincidentally, this person who calls himself Hei Lan shares this same fortuity.
10 minutes later. Hei Lan eyes finally open revealing the sapphire orbs that hide it’s real hue. He calmly stood up and walked towards Yun Li who prepared a spray bottle of alcohol. After disinfecting his hand he wore back his black gloves once again. After seeing him wear his gloves again he passed the papers with information about everything about this manor.
“What did you get?” asked Yun Li.
After looking through the papers in his hands, “The Reaper is not involved in this case. This is a homicide crime scene. The murder is the husband.” replied Hei Lan as he found the profile of the murderer.
“It’s this man.”
Xu Lun took the profile with the picture of the man. The murderer is a young husband with average looks.
“The murderer is this one.” asked Xu Lun.
“Yes. A hidden esper with the ability to control electricity.” replied Hei Lan.
As if backing up Hei Lan’s words, an officer who was tasked to check through the electromagnetic energy in the location picked up a high voltage of energy. Just like Hei Lan had said, it’s an esper with the ability of electricity.
The officer reported, ” Sir. There’s a high level of electromagnetic energy left inside the house. The murderer is feasibly an Esper that is unregistered.”
Then they saw the good looking man before them smiled mischievously, attracting everyone’s attention on him. Even the officer who did the report couldn’t stop himself from blushing. Special Officer Hei Lan’s beauty is beyond even among the most gorgeous women in the world. He is just so otherworldly. Almost like a siren.
“So beautiful~” uttered the people from the SID unit in the crowd who saw Hei Lan smiled.
Xie ye spoke abruptly breaking the trance of the people around him. He looked at Hei Lan as if scrutinizing him with a cold expression on his face.
“You have something more to say. Speak.” said Xie Ye there’s an obvious hint of annoyance in his voice.
Hei Lan’s smile just widened when he heard his tone but the depths of his eyes turned colder. People around Xie Ye and Hei Lan felt as if winter arrived. They could feel the chill on their skin.
“You are no fun as always. What a boring man~” said Hei Lan.
Xie Ye replied calmly, “Stop wasting time.”
“Hmph! Fine~ follow me then.” said Hei Lan as he walks to the interior of the house walking towards the study room.
Study room.
The room is well decorated with a medium reading table made with the finest wood. Besides, there is a desktop computer with an active internet connection. The room is well ventilated with two large windows. On the walls of the room are bookshelves full of hard bound books. Most of the books relate to business and finance.
Yun Li, Xu Lun, Xie Ye and a few esper officers with defensive and offensive abilities follow after him. Inside the room Hei Lan walks as if he owns the place but Xu Lun’s expression turns even more guarded as he follows after Hei Lan. His special ability is a passive type but it is extremely life saving. As soon as he entered this study room Xu Lun’s expression turned gloomy and vigilant. Yun Li and Xie Ye noticed the changes in his expression. If Xu Lun is acting like this then there is something wrong with this room.
Xu Lun’s special ability is Survival Intuition. It is the ability to feel or sense any danger that may be life threatening to the user or those around him.
Xie Ye silently issued an order to the subordinates with them.
“Standby for sudden danger.”
“Yes!” 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
He followed Hei Lan inside the room and watched him stand in front of a bookshelf in some corner of the room. Seeing Hei Lan in that desolate corner the suspicious sense of danger increases in Xu Lun’s heart. They watched Hei Lan move a few books here and there as if solving a puzzle. Then they heard a loud click as if some mechanism was undone.
Click! Clang. Clang.
The bookshelf before Hei Lan slowly moves to the side as if opening. When the bookshelf was halfway opened. Xu Lun finally couldn’t help but shout.
“Put up the barrier!” exclaimed Xu Lun who instantly grabbed Yun Li besides him pulling him away from the incoming danger he was sensing.
“What?” said Hei Lan as he twisted his neck to look at Xu Lun who suddenly shouted.
In front of him the bookshelf revealed what’s behind it and saw a man covered thickly with blood and there’s electricity currently in his arms. He shot an electric shock towards Hei Lan’s as he was standing in front of him.
“Dodge it! A’Lan!” shouted Yun Li instinctively.
Hei Lan who moved his head to look at the incoming attack before him didn’t dodge instead he smiled like a madman. Seeing this Xie Ye jumped on him and hugged him as he pulled themselves in some corner of the room successfully avoiding the attack.
Since Xie Ye had issued the order before, the other espers with them were able to block the attack. Within the team with them there are espers that can initiate a barrier. Though the barrier was erected a bit late and some of them were injured. Thankfully the wounds were superficial.
“Capture him now!” ordered Xie Ye while holding Hei Lan in his arms.
They were both unharmed because of Xie Ye’s enhanced and inhuman reflex. The other esper officers worked as a group as they capture the unregistered esper who is suspected for murder. It didn’t take long for the murderer to get caught. They bound his arms and legs with special handcuffs for espers. This handcuff sealed off his ability making him like a normal person.
The suspect struggles, “Let go me! Fuck! How the hell did you even find me?!” he shouted as he was being escorted away. He glared at Hei Lan who was the first person he saw when the door to the hidden compartment opened.
But no one answered him instead all their eyes were on the pair who were in charge of the case. They could see Xie Ye wanting to peel off the human band aid on his body.
Xie Ye while pulling off Hei Lan. “Let go! Damn! What the hell is wrong with you!?”
With a confused expression on his face, they saw Hei Lan not willing to let go of Xie Ye despite his face full of doubt. He was even moving his hand all over Xie Ye’s body but because Xie Ye’s body is a lot larger than his he couldn’t hug him fully. He is a few hands short.
Everyone watching them cannot stop themselves from blushing as they could even see the elven like man put his hands in the clothes of the cold face man.
After some effort Hei Lan was yanked away by Xie Ye whose breathing is slightly ragged from the struggle. He then glared at Hei Lan.
“What is wrong with your head? Do you want to die?” There’s an obvious threat on Xie Ye’s words and tone
Looking at his hands then looking at Xie Ye, Hei Lan acted surprised. “Why couldn’t I see anything?”
Xie Ye threw him towards Yun Li who firmly caught him. But they only caught him and let go right away because of his OCD tendencies.
“Ouch! I’ve just touched a bit! You’re too stingy. Are you a woman or something?” complained Hei Lan.
“Shut up, pervert!” retorted Xie Ye.
Before Hei Lan could jump on Xie Ye to show him his anger Yun Li held him back to prevent the fight between the two of them. Xie Ye just snorted at Hei Lan who is now glaring at him as if he wanted to bite him.
“Please calm down. Sir Hei.” said Yun Li.
“Let go of me A’Li I’m going to beat up this bastard.” replied Hei Lan.
In the end Hei Lan could only walk away in anger. Leaving everyone else at the scene. After all he finished his quota for today and Xie Ye angered him too much. Seeing this Yun Li could only escort Hei Lan back to the Psyche Institute as it was his duty. Everyone dispersed out the room. Xu Lun on the other hand remained to talk with his boss.
“Boss, I’ve found a hideout of Inferno. It is a bigger branch than the others. There must be more traces left there.” reported Xu Lun.
“I will visit it tonight. Make the preparation for elimination.” said Xie Ye.
He replied, “Yes. Boss.” Xu Lun melted in the shadows before completely disappearing from the room.
As silence ascended inside the room, Xie Ye couldn’t help but grab the clothes above his chest. There’s a hint of pain in his heart and a feeling of satisfaction as if he found what he had been looking for. Within his eyes is indecisiveness and disbelief.
He rubs his chest in comfort as he murmurs, “He is not my Lan’er. There is no proof that he is Lan’er. Since there is none. I could only look for it. Once I found it only then I...” whispered Xie Ye.
Meanwhile inside the car.
Yun Li is currently driving while in the backseat Hei Lan is lying down as if intending to take a nap. There’s a cumbrous atmosphere inside the car. Hei Lan could see Yun LI peeking at him through the rear view mirror inside the car. Based on the emotions within his eyes, Hei Lan could guess what’s in this man’s mind.
“Just ask away. If you have some questions?” said Hei Lan.
Yun Li hesitated for a moment before speaking. “You are Gui Lan right?” he asked but the way he speaks and tone is obviously not asking but instead confronting him with truth.
Inside the car is a long tranquility. Hei Lan didn’t answer Yun Li’s question, instead he sat up and placed himself right at the center directly proportionally at the mirror inside the car where he met Yun Li’s eyes.
“Look carefully at the mirror. Your eyes will tell you the truth you wanted to see.” said Hei Lan.
Yun Li followed his words. He stared at the rear view mirror looking at Hei Lan’s reflection on it. Good thing that they were in the middle of traffic and the vehicle is currently halted. It took a few moments as Yun Li saw Hei Lan’s face in the mirror slowly twisted like an illusion. He blinked his eyes in comfort when his gaze once again stabilized; he finally saw the reflection of the man in the mirror.
The man in the mirror was similar to his memories but more refined and perfected. With elegant features and noble forbearance. A wanderlust blue green phoenix shaped eyes which excludes grace and iciness of a frozen mountain peak. A grown out layered straight cut hair with the same hue similar to that of the sea. He had puffy lips which upturned to a mischievous smile. They were succulent, sultry and velvet soft. This person is truly captivating. His appearance is heavenly enough to think that he is a mythical being that is well-known for their beauty like a siren.
He is indeed Gui Lan. This is Gui Lan 15 years later. An adult version Gui Lan.
