After I sat there for five or six minutes, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
I was about to get up and go find the store owner, but the owner came in from the front door with the police, pointed at me and shouted: "That's him, he's trying to rob my store."
Oops, I was still tricked by my boss.
At this point, I can only stand up and explain to the police.
Before I could say anything, all the lights in the room suddenly went out, and the entire antique store instantly became invisible.
Although my eyes are very smart, they still cannot adapt to sudden changes in light and darkness, and I will still suffer from short-term blindness.
Before I had time to react, I heard a scream coming from the opposite side, and a burst of air with the smell of blood rushed towards me from the direction of the scream.
I took a step back, grabbed the long knife on the table, and slashed the oncoming thing with the knife and sheath. Although I didn't see clearly what I hit, I just heard a muffled sound like an iron rod hitting someone's head from a place not far away from me.
After I realized that I didn't hear the sound of someone falling to the ground, I picked up the long knife and struck twice in the original direction. I could still hear the sound of the falling knife after the first blow, but the second blow struck the air.
At this time, my eyes also adapted after the brief transition between light and dark. I saw a figure ducking down and covering his head with both hands, moving to my left, and I immediately chased him with a long knife.
This time, I really saw what that guy looked like. The other person's undressed body was covered with a layer of dark green skin like the outer skin of a frog, and the hands covering his head also had a membrane like frog webs; although there was still human-like hair on the top of his head, there were strands of hair. The silk seemed to be stuck together by some mucus.
The other party's head was obviously smashed open by me twice, and dark red blood was dripping down the top of his head. I didn't plan to draw the sword at first. After seeing the opponent's appearance clearly, I immediately pulled out the long knife and raised the knife to strike the opponent's head.
As soon as I raised the long knife above my head, all the lights in the room came on. I just felt like my eyes were dazzled, and the guy who was holding his head and moving just now disappeared.
The two policemen standing at the door shouted at the same time: "Put down the knife and don't move!"
When I glanced at the door with the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but let out a sigh in my heart: Oh no.
The shop owner didn't know when his throat was cut with a knife and he fell in a pool of blood. Although the policeman standing near him was safe and sound, after the lights returned, he pointed his pistol at me: "Put down the knife and squat down with your head in your hands!"
There were only three people left in the whole room, and I was the only one holding a knife. My body was still covered in blood from the monster just now. I couldn't clear myself of the suspicion for a while.
When I turned around with the long knife in hand, I was still thinking about how to explain to the two policemen. What I didn't expect was that Dong Xiaowei suddenly rushed in from outside the store and hugged the policeman from behind: "Wang Huan, run quickly, run quickly!"
The policeman was confused by the sudden appearance of Dong Xiaowei. Before he could break away from Dong Xiaowei, a boy in our class grabbed the arm of another policeman.
At that time, the only thought in my mind was not to let the police catch me. After looking at Dong Xiaowei, I turned around and rushed into the backyard of the antique store. In my mind, I could jump over the wall from the backyard into the back street. As long as I could climb over, everything would be fine.
However, before I rushed to the wall, I heard the police shouting from behind: "Stop and don't move!"
I only hesitated for a moment before speeding up and rushing towards the wall. I knew the police had guns, and my bet was that they wouldn't just shoot me.
After I took two steps, I pushed my feet on the wall and jumped up. Just as I grabbed the top of the wall with my outstretched left hand, I heard a gunshot from behind. I was suddenly startled and almost fell off the wall. .
When I realized that the police were just firing warning shots, I immediately threw the long knife outside, grabbed the wall with both hands, and with a fierce struggle, I climbed over the wall and landed on the street.
The backstreet of the antique shop is also a commercial area with people coming and going. When I landed on the ground, all I saw was a stunned crowd.
No matter who it is, after hearing a gunshot and seeing a man covered in blood jumping out from behind the wall, they will be temporarily shocked. When I picked up the knife from the ground, the crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded, with countless people screaming and running around. I simply dove into the crowd and pushed the crowd towards the end of the long street.
I didn't even know where I was running, my only thought was to keep digging into the crowd. I know that the police will not shoot casually when there are many people. Once I am alone, the police may not be "polite" with me anymore.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and run out, but unexpectedly, the further I took the road, the fewer people there were. In the end, I panicked and plunged into a dead end.
I can't climb over the high wall in front of the alley, but the footsteps of the police behind me are getting closer and closer, and listening to the footsteps, I can tell that there are more than two policemen chasing me. Even if I turn around now, I can't get between them. Break through.
When I was running around in a hurry, I saw a figure flashing out of the alley entrance. When I instinctively grabbed the long knife and looked at the other person's face, I couldn't help but whisper: "Ye Xun!"
The person who came out from behind me turned out to be Ye Xun! Did he follow me all the way here
"Don't make a sound." Ye Xun passed me by, rushed to the wall quickly, arched one leg, put his hands together, and put his palms up on his legs, "Come on!"
I had no time to think about anything, so I inserted the knife into my belt, rushed forward a few steps quickly, and stepped on the palm of Ye Xun's hand. The latter took advantage of the situation and lifted it up. I used Ye Xun's strength to climb up the wall, turned over and jumped behind the high wall. Fortunately, there was a pile of discarded paper shells under the wall, so I was not injured.
When I climbed down from the paper shell, Ye Xun jumped over the wall and landed firmly on the ground.
Ye Xun was able to climb over the high wall without any help, and there was not much sound after landing, which only shows that he is a practitioner.
Although Ye Xun saved me, at this moment I was wondering if I was his opponent.
I have never practiced martial arts, but my father taught me how to fight.
My dad told me: Any 300-round battles in novels and TV are bullshit. Three hundred rounds and not one person is lying down, it can only mean that they are joking. In hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield, if two or three of them can't defeat each other, you're dead.
The only principle in fighting is that if you seize the opportunity and knock the opponent down, you can beat him as you like. If your hands are fast enough, you are brave enough, and your heart is ruthless enough, don't be afraid of beating people to death. You are a master.
With the vision my father taught me, I have never been afraid of a fight, and I have never lost. But the Ye Xun in front of me made me feel unsure for the first time.
When Ye Xun and I looked at each other across several cardboard boxes, the police had already chased us into the alley: "I just saw someone running in. Where did he go? Could he have climbed over the wall?"
"Nonsense. You didn't realize how high this wall is. No one can help and no one can climb over it. You must have seen it wrong. Go back and chase it over there."
Several police officers quickly left the alley. When their footsteps were far away, I asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Xun said calmly: "My name is Ye Xun, and I am also looking for the secrets in Fuxian Lake. As for who I am, I hope you don't ask."
I looked at Ye Xun for a long time. I didn't say anything, and neither did he. His silence seemed to be just waiting for me to continue asking questions.
I stared at Ye Xun and said, "Why do you want to save me?"
Ye Xun said matter-of-factly: "Because the monster is also looking for you. I need help, and you also need someone to cooperate."
I immediately reacted: "Have you been following me?"
"No." Ye Xun denied, "I have been questioning the monster I caught. It wasn't until last night that I saw you guys were in trouble. I want to follow you to see if there are any clues. However, you are better than me. I'm even better at finding clues. So, I want to cooperate with you."
I immediately caught the message in Ye Xun's words: "You mean, that monster can talk?"
Ye Xun nodded and said: "It can say simple words. But it refused to say anything in front of me. I asked for a whole day with no results. Later I thought that the monster found you first, would there be any clues? On you. But before I even went to the hotel to look for you, I found you sleeping on the street. From then on, I followed you."
Ye Xun's words sounded impeccable, but he avoided talking about the most important issue. I couldn't help but ask: "Why are you looking for the secret of Fuxian Lake? What exactly is in Fuxian Lake?"
Ye Xun was silent for a moment and then said: "Why I am looking for the secret of Fuxian Lake, I can't tell you; what is under Fuxian Lake is exactly the answer I am looking for. So you are asking nonsense."
I almost choked to death because of Ye Xun. But thinking about it, there's nothing wrong with what he said. What else would he be looking for if he knew the answer
I was silent for a moment before saying, "Then what do you know?"
Ye Xun said: "I came here about a week earlier than you, and I have been asking about the legend of Fuxian Lake. Legend has it that the ghost town in Fuxian Lake will have a phantom on the lake every three years or so. After the phantom, there will be The water god came out to pull people to fill the lake. As for what the water god looked like, there are different opinions. But all the legends can’t escape one point, that is, they all have the characteristics of the water tribe. For example, the water god I caught is just like the water god in Fuxian Lake. The anti-wave fish is somewhat similar."
Ye Xun said extremely seriously: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, if I hadn't caught it with my own hands, I would have even suspected that he was the legendary Dragon Palace Aquatic Tribe."
I looked at Ye Xun: "Take me to see that guy."
