Haigu City, on the top floor of a luxury hotel.
This time Wei Huaqian changed hotels. The only thing that remained unchanged was the height and the view overlooking the entire Haigu City from the window.
He took a drag on his cigarette and flicked it in the ashtray. It was dusk outside the window, and the environment was much darker. In the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see the wrinkles on his face and mottled white hair.
Wei Huaqian's eyes glanced at the mobile phone from time to time. It lay quietly without making any sound.
"Squeak-"
The moment the sunset completely disappeared, the door behind him slowly opened. Wei Huaqian paused for half a second while flicking the cigarette ash. His eyes followed the black and gray cigarette ash as it fell, without even raising his head: "Shen Mo."
Shen Mo changed into a simple and neat shirt, and his hair was still wet from the shower. He closed the door and sat across from Wei Huaqian. This person's movements were very relaxed, and the material of his clothes instantly outlined the outline of his young body.
"Xiao Wei, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are getting old again." He greeted casually.
The flesh on Wei Huaqian's face trembled, and he gave a polite smile: "Shi'an's mad dog is very honest. Brother Shen made a mistake?"
Shen Mo touched a fig nonchalantly, and with a little force of his fingers, the sweet and bloody core was revealed in the yellow-white flesh. He took a bite casually and chewed it for a while: "Well, I missed it, and I just happened to see someone investigating."
He casually flipped through the information on the tablet, becoming more and more silent as he read.
Wei Huaqian: "Well, he has some talent. But apart from eating, drinking and having fun, this guy basically did nothing. In the cases that the nine groups participated in before, he didn't have any special performance."
"Then no one has found his body." Shen Mo shrugged, "I took it very seriously. The seal of the Great Heavenly Master is in the Valley of Bones... Well, judging from the terrain, it is the Valley of the Sea. It is probably the same as those who were suspected by the predecessors. The word 'bone' is unlucky, I won't mistake it."
Even in multi-person scenes, he could only see information photos such as "young lovers feeding each other", "young lovers shopping in the supermarket", "young lovers wearing toy ears while playing in an amusement park".
His eyes stopped on the photo of Yin Ren holding the skewers in a fan shape, imitating the fan hero. There was no momentum at all in those red eyes. The man bent his eyes and looked at Zhong Cheng, who was chewing roasted baby vegetables, with only pure happiness in his eyes.
Wei Huaqian remained silent.
Shen Mo quickly looked through Yin Ren's photos. This man looked quite evil and not like an ordinary person. But I don't know if it's a coincidence or something, but the information photos obtained by the Sinking Association are a bit... that.
When he said this, Shen Mo lost his carefree temperament and became rarely serious.
"Absolutely impossible." Wei Huaqian stood up and put out his cigarette in the ashtray. "Zhong Yi is dead. You haven't read our information. By the end, his body was in dilapidated condition. Don't tell me To save the memory, he can’t even save the whole body!”
"Let me think about it... According to this time, there should be something wrong with the 'ant nest' in Gengsheng Town. Maybe there is information about the Great Heavenly Master hidden there, but you didn't find it, and Shi'an found it afterwards - after all, it was a thousand years ago Anthill, the people of the Sinking Society are always good at hiding things, you should know it best.”
"Wei Huaqian, I don't know how many new clues Shi'an has got. I only know that after this experience, they will only know more about the other side. It's best to plan your 'sacrifice' plan in advance."
"I still want to ask you. I saw a lot of things this time." Shen Mo shook his head, "Shi'an's gang has obtained very powerful memories - I haven't discovered them before, and there are still some hidden ones in the Bone Valley. Such a giant monster. Compared with it, the evil spirits are simply petite and cute.”
For example, this person cannot move his feet in front of the game experience store, such as this person holding three balls of ice cream with both hands at the same time, such as this person holding a large bucket of fried chicken with eyes shining...
The origin of this person is unknown and very suspicious. But he passed all the physical examinations of Shi'an and is currently a non-scientific employee in Shi'an's special transfer group nine, with a grade C rating.
Sinking Club intentionally or unintentionally tested Yin Ren and his partner Zhong Cheng with the pollution source case, but no substantial "abnormal" evidence was obtained. In the recent attack on Mr. Qiu, his partner Zhong Cheng said he was shot dead on the spot.
Shen Mo: "...Xiao Wei, that's what you said. How long have we known each other? If there is a chance, I will be the first to kill him."
Memory world.
"Give me a reason to fail."
Wei Huaqian fell back into the armchair and pinched his eyebrows. He casually took out the tablet, operated it a bit, and pushed it in front of Shen Mo.
Shen Mo: "...hiss."
The fire in Huajisi burned all night before being extinguished. Due to the large number of people watching, everyone in Zhi'an stayed up all night.
"The most suspicious thing is this young man. See for yourself."
Shen Mo played with the soft red-skinned fig in his hand. It rolled around in his palm like a stale organ.
"You spend a lot of time 'over there', so you may not know the details. I asked people to investigate all the suspicious people related to the 'eruption of evil power'."
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows and wiped the juice on his hand: "Yin Ren?... The last name is interesting, a descendant of Yin Village who hides his identity?"
Shen Mo pressed his temples: "I understand, this person has nothing to do with the Great Heavenly Master."
Shen Mo rapped his knuckles on the table.
Wei Huaqian's face was gloomy, and the ashes from his cigarette had accumulated on the old man's head: "Monster?"
"Yes, Shi'an got the memory from somewhere and used Huang Liang's illusion to project it. That memory is detailed enough, and the memories of the Great Heavenly Master himself are nothing more than that."
According to the information from the Sinking Society, after Zhong Cheng said that after his death, Yin Ren specially made a flesh figurine to commemorate his lover and became inseparable from the flesh figurine.
This directly led Fu Xingchuan to think that he was hallucinating when he saw Yin Ren approaching wearing a T-shirt "The Leader's Worst Confidant".
"Hmm." Wei Huaqian was noncommittal.
Shen Mo resolutely turned off the screen.
After hearing these words, Wei Huaqian calmed down.
"Did you find a shaman named Sanjie in that competition that Shi'an held a while ago? If I remember correctly, the shaman faction in Linan is good at golden light to ward off evil spirits, and they all have Yi Luo blood - Yi Luo’s research on ‘Yuanwu’ and ‘The Other Side’ is of its own kind.”
"That world is not reality. Even if Fu Xingchuan ends up in person, you will not suffer any loss." Wei Huaqian said solemnly, "Or is it that he has really come to an end and you can't bear to take action against the younger generation you have led?"
"I still remember the fluctuations in the evil power in the summer. It was suspected that the evil evil was born, but you used blood sacrifices to attract it, and not even a hair of the evil evil was attracted. Do you think that will-" Shen Mo said meaningfully Lengthen your voice.
"Perhaps they discovered something in Gengsheng Town, and specifically used the name of the competition to find descendants of Yiluo practitioners to come to Haigu. That girl is still in the hospital, you can use her as a breakthrough."
Shen Mo looked at the sentence "Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng are lovers" in shock for a while.
"We don't have much time."
Shen Mo ignored him, touched two more figs, and ate them comfortably.
But just by looking at this person's temperament, Fu Xingchuan could tell at a glance that "Yin Ren" was a genuine Great Heavenly Master inside his shell. I saw that the man was carrying a chubby black rabbit, and the rabbit was chewing vegetable leaves calmly in its mouth.
When the onlookers Huajisi members saw such a weirdo, they took two steps back.
Fortunately, the elites of Huajisi are well-informed and their mood is very stable. There are thousands of weirdos in the metaphysical world, but this one at least has a good-looking face.
Lu Xiaohe was the first to control her expression. She cleared her throat in a dignified manner: "Xiao Yin, who is this rabbit?"
She looked at the rabbit with suspicious eyes - the black rabbit was different from the phantom rabbit they saw. It had the same nose and eyes, and looked fat and plump, which was quite pleasing. At this moment, its nose curled up and down, and the green vegetable leaves disappeared into its mouth at an even speed.
"This is what Zhong Cheng said." Yin Ren hugged the rabbit tightly "sadly", "It's a long story. In short, he gave me his body that belonged to me, and I found another place for him. He... he is I made it with my own hands, so there’s no need for complicated containers.”
Fu Xingchuan stared deeply at the rabbit. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. "Actually, I should choose a healthier one." Yin Ren suddenly added, his tone a bit flat - flat to the point of being familiar.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Yin Ren.
"It's a pity that the vegetation near Skeleton Valley is lush and the rabbits are all round." Yin Ren quickly returned to his original tone, with an imperceptible tension in his tone.
Lu Xiaohe's expression gradually became confused.
"But it's really too fat." Just when she thought this irrelevant topic was coming to an end, Yin Ren suddenly spoke up again. The rabbit stopped eating and looked at Yin Ren with moist black eyes.
"The fat one is very cute." This time Yin Ren's tone was a little more determined, "It's very suitable."
Lu Xiaohe: "Uh..."
Could it be that the flesh figurines sacrificed themselves and "died" again, irritating this person's mental scars? She looked left and right and wisely remained silent.
Inside Yin Ren's body.
Zhong Cheng said: [...] He watched helplessly as Yin Ren hugged and rubbed the "fake Zhong Cheng said", and a series of ellipses rolled through his mind.
This fat rabbit was obviously bought from the market to fool Shi'an by turning stones into silver. In order to appease its mood, Yin Ren stopped by and bought the freshest vegetable leaves.
[Yin Ren could have chosen the healthiest one. ] He thought quietly, [Is there anything wrong with the impression I gave him?]
Yin Renchao cleared his throat loudly and changed the subject: "Anyway, you should have read the memory I gave. Everyone - what's going on? Why is there one person missing?"
The little girl from the Lu family, Fu Shangliu and Li Heyan, who I had brought with me, plus that... that dyed dog with a solemn expression, all had communication headsets in their ears.
Yin Ren casually glanced at the yellow beams on the wall in the corner, walked up to "Fu Shangliu", and asked with a serious expression: "Fu Xingchuan, who is in trouble?"
Fu Tianyi: "?"
Fu Xingchuan silently opened his mouth and bit into Yin Ren's calf.
In the evening, a light shimmered under Shi'an.
After disappearing for nearly two weeks, seven figures reappeared on the bed. Fu Xingchuan was the first to struggle to sit up, his movements a little weird and uncoordinated. Li Nian strode forward, looking as ugly as if he was just over seven years old.
"What happened? Why was the connection disconnected for so long?"
"We made a mistake in judging the nature of the memory world, and temporarily corrected many details of the spell."
Fu Xingchuan murmured, still immersed in Yin Ren's analogy about "network".
In the process of perfecting the technique, Yin Ren spoke out all his guesses about the memory world. After suddenly receiving this unprecedented guess, Fu Xingchuan still hadn't turned around until he left the memory world.
Li Nian: "..."
Li Nian: "What does 'misjudgment of the nature of the memory world' mean?"
"It's about the other side. It's not appropriate to talk here." Fu Xingchuan lowered his voice and glanced at Yin Ren and the "flesh figurine" who were still lying on the bed. "Let everyone rest first. You can make an appointment at another time."
Li Nian was silent for a longer time this time.
"Yes." He said dryly, "It seems that some people's spirits need time to recover."
He made a gesture, and Chian's medical team quickly entered the scene. Hearing Huang Jin's sad cry, he took the lead in reaching out to the medical team. Fu Xingchuan finally came back to his senses and coughed twice.
"This will be a long story." He said one word at a time, "Remember to leave enough time and free up the laboratory. By the way, it is best to arrange them all to the People's Hospital. If they stay, they will attract too much attention. "
"I see."
Seeing his former partner being so serious, Li Nian's expression showed a hint of surprise.
"I will make arrangements." This time, his answer was equally solemn.
When the ninth team of Shi'an returned to Haigu People's Hospital again, it was already dark.
The loss in the memory world is relatively small, but everyone is already exhausted to the extreme. Except for Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng, the others hung up in a row and fell asleep. Although Yin Ren had a lot to say, he still tried to hold it back.
He had no choice but to touch Zhong Cheng who was lying in the bed next to him from time to time and said that since he had a physical body, that strange feeling of rejection has returned. But after understanding this guy's situation to a certain extent, this subconscious feeling of rejection became more interesting.
Zhong Cheng said that after thinking for a while, he nuzzled in Yin Ren's direction and allowed him to poke and poke.
"After some time, Fu Xingchuan and the others will definitely 'summon' us two to resolve business matters together. Before that, we don't have much free time."
"Yeah." Zhong Cheng responded softly.
In the darkness, Zhong Cheng said that the outline of his body was strong and beautiful. Even now, Yin Ren still couldn't reconcile the messy rabbit with the handsome human in front of him.
"Do you have any plans?"
Yin Ren stopped poking him, but stretched out his hand and put his palm against the man's back.
Very warm.
"Celebrate well with you." Zhong Cheng muttered with his back to Yin Ren, "Stay with you..."
"What else?" Yin Ren raised his eyebrows.
"besides… "
"It's the end of the month, Zhong Cheng said." Yin Ren leaned down, his body a punch away from Zhong Cheng.
He blew into the man's ear: "It's your birthday, right?"
At this moment, the building next door.
"It's coming, it's coming." Sun Qian yawned, braced himself, and sat in front of a hospital bed. "We agreed, sister will read a story, Qianqian, please stop crying, okay?"
The little girl's face was blue and her lips were white. The blood vessels on the back of her thin hands protruded and were being infused.
Sun Qian'an touched her hair and picked up the fairy tale book beside the little girl's pillow.
The fairy tale book has a soft and beautiful cover, clearly a classic fairy tale. Sun Qian opened one of the pages, and his eyes suddenly became extremely soft. When she spoke again, her voice had not changed, but it had a calming magic.
"Well... let's tell you the story of 'The God of Death' today."
