Seven Days, Seven Nights

Chapter 139: Mercury retrograde

Views:

The wholesale market opened earlier than the clothing store. Ji Heng searched the address and took a taxi to buy a set of clothes.

Su Er was wrapped in sheets in the hotel by the window, and the news of Shicai seemed to be sent to Princess Camellia, but in fact, he asked Ji Heng about the part of the clues that Ji Heng concealed.

In the falsification, the other party's series of psychological analysis was too much to fit in the mirror, which was funny at the time, but later became a worry.

Assuming that Ji Heng really chose to leave at that time, is the copy now a world after darkness descends

Looking at the gradually bustling streets, Sur tried to find the slightest abnormality in them, and even used the eye in his body. However, people come and go, which is completely a secular scene.

I don't know how long it took, the door of the guest room was opened, and before turning around, the smell of soy milk blew in along with the wind in the corridor.

Ji Heng came in with breakfast and clothes.

There was no extra communication between the two parties during breakfast. After dinner, Ji Heng looked at the table below: "It's only half past eight, so you can go to the hospital first."

The woman who was sent to the emergency room last night woke up, and after learning about the situation from the police, she wanted to thank the rescuer in person.

The hotel is not far from the hospital. On the way to walk, Sur had doubts in his heart: "The child is lost. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a mother to worry about these details."

When they arrived, the police had already left, and the nurse had just come out of the ward, and only allowed the two of them to enter after seeing a few simple questions from the stranger.

The woman's face was a little haggard, and she was hanging from the water. She asked uncertainly, "Is it the hospital you sent me to?"

Ji Heng nodded.

The woman said thank you several times, and when she got up, she would transfer his medical bills.

Ji Heng waved his hand to indicate no need, and brought up what happened last night: "The traffickers seem to have come prepared."

Just after listening to the beginning, the woman suddenly covered her face and cried: "It was my fault, I should have listened to him." The sobbing stopped quickly, wiped away the tears and shook her head: "No one will believe this kind of thing."

It's like the police officer who was just now didn't say it clearly, but his eyes convey a message... I suspect that she has been hit too hard and is a little mentally ill.

Sur leaned forward, and the young and gentle face easily made people let go of their guard.

He said softly: "We are specializing in the show. Yesterday, I heard that it was haunted and specially went to collect material."

Hearing this, the woman frowned.

Suer said in a timely manner: "The media has a great influence, and maybe it can help you find your child soon."

The woman froze for a moment, twisted her fingers uneasily, and finally slowly told a story.

Her name is Lu Lanxin. A few months ago, she often went to the temple to offer incense because of poor work. She accidentally discovered that the person who cooked the vegetarian meal in the temple was an elementary school classmate. The two talked very happily, and they developed a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Later I got pregnant, and he was going to change jobs." Lu Lanxin's eyes gradually became dull: "However, it didn't take long for people to be silent. During that time, I often had dreams, in which he said that this child can't be wanted. bring disaster."

Su Er and Ji Heng looked at each other, whoever listened to them was in a trance caused by being abandoned by the scumbag and beaten too hard.

"Didn't you call the police?"

"Tell me to wait for the news." Lu Lanxin smiled bitterly: "He has no relatives or friends in this city, and the abbot of the temple said he resigned through formal procedures."

It cannot be characterized as a case of disappearance, and it is natural that the investigation will not be too focused.

Sur wrote down the temple's address and her boyfriend's name, then asked, "Is there a photo? I can ask someone to find it."

Lu Lanxin showed him a group photo on his phone, and Sur forwarded it.

"It's time to go." Ji Heng reminded.

The navigation shows that it takes nearly an hour to take a taxi from here to Hongquan Shopping Center.

When they left the hospital, neither of them said a word until they got to the taxi and asked, "Is she credible?"

Ji Heng shook his head: "Not necessarily."

Sur zoomed in on the photo, the men and women in it were all smiles, but his eyes couldn't help but freeze on the background.

"This is... a peach tree?"

Ji Heng glanced at it: "It looks quite similar."

The host didn't say the exact location, so they waited at the entrance of Hongquan shopping mall.

The mall has only opened, and there is not much passenger flow. Standing here, you can clearly see the people entering and leaving.

"There are players."

Su Er followed Ji Heng's line of sight and saw a man and a woman walking towards him wearing badges.

"Liu Lang, Zhu Yu..." He read out his name: "I remember all three ranks."

Ji Heng nodded.

Sur smiled: "It's amazing."

A high score means that both of them are in trouble, and it is not easy to successfully form a team in the end.

Just said hello after meeting, a breathless voice interjected: "Catch up."

The name of the player who ran over was Xu Yangyang, and the name of the player who teamed up with him was very interesting... Jia Kanhua.

Last night, the two of them chased halfway, and suddenly the civet cat at the scene was worthy of attention. Seeing Su Er standing side by side with Ji Heng, Jia Kanhuachi asked, "Have you turned into a human?"

Refused to face the unbearable past, Sur asked more concerned: "Where's the child?"

"I didn't catch up." Knowing that this sentence was not very credible, Jia Kanhua explained more: "Someone is answering the trafficker, and he has a gun on his body."

Someone who can be so arrogant in the city must have a powerful network behind it, and it's no good to provoke rashly.

"Why don't we exchange information?" After Xu Fan's death, Zhu Yu became the only female player, and she felt very shrewd: "I have a good clue here."

Sur thought about it and told a story about Lu Lanxin.

Jia Kanhua then said, "Smell... During the chase, I smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms on the baby."

Zhu Yu's eyes flickered, and he finally said, "I'm not far from Xu Fan. I originally wanted to find her to form a team, but I waited until that person was dead."

Sur: "I've seen pictures posted by netizens, and the murderer used her neck as a vase."

"It would be great if that was the case," Zhu Yu said with a complicated expression, "It wasn't inserted, it grew naturally."

This sentence is equivalent to a blockbuster, and Xu Yangyang was the most excited: "Really?"

Being suspected for no reason, Zhu Yu sneered displeasedly: "I checked it myself, and the tendons are attached, but I can't pull them out."

Ji Heng suddenly asked, "What flower?"

Forum pictures are bloody, and most of them are buds that are hard to judge.

Zhu Yu said solemnly, "Peach blossom."

The air was instantly quiet.

Thinking of the peach branch that Gou Baopu gave him, Su Er lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Seemingly aware of his emotions, Zhu Yu looked over with inquiring eyes, and Su Er calmly glanced at the time: "It's still a minute away."

At ten o'clock, the host still did not show up.

Sur asked in the group.

Xu Yangyang looked strange: "Is there a group?"

Because of the low score, he and Jia Kanhua had a very difficult journey, and they were also involved in the local gang struggle, and were almost not killed. Seeing this, he quickly opened the tablet and joined the group chat.

Ji Heng reminded softly, "Look at the intersection."

An RV was parked there, particularly prominent.

At the same time, a car emoji was sent from the group. Everyone walked towards the RV, the door was unlocked, and the player at the front tentatively knocked twice.

"Get in the car." A voice came from inside.

The space is very spacious. The man sitting at the table has his hands on crutches. His body is extremely slender and he wears glasses, like a scumbag who walked out of the comics. To the left stood a small flag with the words 'Welcome' written in bold.

As the last person to come up, Sur closed the door smoothly.

The man smiled half-heartedly: "I am the host of this game, Princess Camellia, welcome everyone to the dungeon Dark Recovery." He said with his sharp eyes swept over every player present: "You are really unlucky to be selected into this game. ."

A sentence made many people's hearts sink, and Sur raised his hand: "No, I came in on the initiative, relying on team props."

Princess Camellia smiled: "Please be quiet, gangster."

I haven't heard the mission for the time being, and Suer shut up.

"You need to find the original intruder within seven days and destroy it."

The word 'invader' can't help but remind people of the flower branches growing out of Xu Fan's neck. What the player needs to deal with seems to be some kind of parasitic monster.

Princess Camellia likes to use electronic products to explain. She turned on the projector and held up the frame: "Library, Tianjia Temple, rental house... Go to these three places to better understand the truth."

Data is transmitted to the group, including specific locations and floor plans.

Jia Kanhua: "Free activities?"

Princess Camellia shook her head: "Where to go is determined by the team with the highest total score. You can only go to one place a day."

Because there are two components that are the same, Princess Camellia used the most primitive way to draw lots.

In the end, Ji Heng got the decision.

Zhu Yu sighed helplessly, not sure about luck.

Ji Heng made a quick decision: "Go to Tianjia Temple."

Su'er was not surprised by his choice. Lu Lanxin's boyfriend worked in Tianjia Temple before he disappeared, so it was necessary to go there in person.

Princess Camellia used the inconvenience as an excuse to let the player drive. Xu Yangyang volunteered, followed the navigation to the bottom of the mountain, and the group changed to the cable car.

The plaque of Tianjia Temple can be seen from a distance, but today the gate of the courtyard is closed and pilgrims are not welcome.

Princess Camellia went to lock the door in person. It was the abbot who opened the door. The other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Princess Camellia returns a gift.

Crossing the threshold, the heavy door closed again.

The entire temple covers a large area, and the abbot said: "Tianjia Temple was first named after the hot spring, and was called the Hot Spring Temple by the locals. Pilgrims can come here to worship Buddha and keep warm in the hot spring, so the temple has always been filled with incense. prosperous."

"... But a strange thing happened recently. Every few days, some pilgrims fell asleep while soaking in the hot spring and nearly drowned. The disciples in the temple were sleeping longer and longer, and they couldn't even wake up in the morning when they were older."

Princess Camellia: "How about you?"

"To be honest, it's the same." The abbot smiled bitterly: "If not, I would have sent them to the hospital for an examination."

Some things can only be known by personal experience.

Princess Camellia: "Don't worry, leave the rest to us."

Abbot: "Excuse me, everyone. According to what was agreed before, the disciples in the temple are going to stay in private houses for a few days, so that you can do things easily."

Princess Camellia nodded.

The abbot explained a few more words, and then went back to the house to meditate.

Seeing people return to the house with his own eyes, Su Er asked, "What identity did we come in?"

"The temple is haunted, everyone is an invited Taoist priest."

"… "

Princess Camellia said calmly: "In terms of catching monsters, Taoists are more famous than monks."

The monster talk is not the worst, the host then said that everyone will live in the meditation room tonight, and after saying this, he indicated that they can move freely.

Ji Heng looked at the room the abbot walked into just now: "I'll go talk to him."

Sur decides to check out the hot springs.

Ji Heng shook his head: "There's a high risk factor there, let's go together later."

Sur changed his mind: "Then I'll try to find a place in the photo to take the photo."

"Things that can do evil in temples should not be underestimated." Ji Heng reminded: "Pay more attention."

Players have their own arrangements, and they are basically separate activities. Generally speaking, there is little chance of an accident during the day.

The surrounding vegetation coverage is very high, and Sur faced the corner of the building in the photo, constantly comparing it with the surrounding Buddhist temples. He stopped and walked until he passed through Wencheng Hall, and saw a huge boulder in the woods in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Lu Lanxin and her boyfriend were standing on the rock, holding the tree and gesticulating with scissors. There also happened to be a few peach trees beside the boulder.

The stride Meteor just walked a few steps, the branches swayed, and a few peach blossoms swayed down.

Su Er suddenly had an absurd delusion that this peach tree was the old bustard at the entrance of the brothel, and he couldn't wait to let him pass. After hesitating for a few seconds, he slowly backed away.

A peach blossom was blown by the wind and fell silently on his shoulders.

Feeling an invisible resistance behind him, Suer's heart sank, he put his hand in his pocket and clenched the electric shock, and simply walked forward.

There is still some distance from the peach tree, and out of the corner of the eye, I can see a white shadow.

He was stunned for a moment, and took out the electric shocker like lightning. The next second, Bai Ling, which appeared out of thin air, wrapped tightly around his fragile neck, and Suer's body was lifted up. His whole face was flushed red, and he raised his head with great effort... On the ancient tree several meters high, the female ghost in red grabbed both ends of the white silk and kept tightening it and pulling it upwards.

Long-range attacks are too much, and the shocker is not useful at all. Hypoxia is not the most painful, and if you continue, the bones will definitely be broken.

Sur no longer hesitated, and squeezed the soft body of the doll.

The faint cry sounded, and the female ghost above the tree was momentarily stunned, and he took the opportunity to break free from the shackles around his neck.

Once again, I sighed that it was cost-effective to peel the hands, and the crying child is probably the best prop to use after the electric shock.

It's a pity that only three minutes can make the ghosts have infinite affection. Sur quickly pondered how to use a short time to kill the ghost above, and decided to escape first after no results.

An unexpected situation happened... Just when the retreat started, the female ghost in red was strangled by the female ghost in pink who suddenly appeared: "Bitch, dare to stop my plan to make a fortune!"

The battle between ghosts and ghosts was quite terrifying. Sur watched the big tree with the sign of the century-old tree fall down, and slammed it steadily and ruthlessly.

"!!!"

Pull your legs and run in the other direction.

At this time, he couldn't turn back at all, and he rushed forward frantically for a few minutes, but the expected loud noise did not come. Sur turned around and glanced at it, the tree swayed back and forth, as if caught by something.

It didn't take long for him to breathe a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw the word 'hot spring' engraved on the wooden sign in front of him, and he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

After going around, I still came to the hot spring.

The calm water murmured, reminding people of the peach blossom branches swaying just now, as if they were all tempting themselves to pass.

The leaves are whirling, and the rustling voice has not stopped for a moment since Dasur came.

"Mine." A cold breath appeared behind him, trying to drag him away.

The hot spring was bubbling, and a stream of water was full of vitality, and it automatically went ashore to wrap around Sur's feet.

"its mine."

Forces from all directions are doing some kind of contest, and the parties feel that they will be divided by five horses.

Sur narrowed his eyes and decided to use the electric shocker to deal with the ghost behind him first.

He was caught off guard by an electric shock, and when the power behind him loosened, the water flow wrapped around Sur's feet tried to drag him directly into the hot spring.

He is not afraid, at least he only has to face a ghost after entering the water.

In the nick of time, the water flow was cut off. Princess Camellia didn't know when she appeared, she hit him with a cane, and Li Gui temporarily retreated. His face turned pale, and he was panting from exhaustion.

Originally, he came to watch a good show, but since he entered the dungeon, he has not stopped.

Sur got up and complained: "In broad daylight, these ghosts are too unrestrained."

Princess Camellia reminded coldly: "Insurance business."

Sur language stop.

Specter riot... Those who bought insurance wanted to touch porcelain maliciously, those who didn't buy it in advance started to make trouble out of jealousy. In just one day, the host fought evil spirits, carried giant trees, and continued to fight ghosts in order to maintain order... Half-Life was almost exhausted.

Thinking of this, he took a vicious look at Suer. Out of sight is pure. Princess Camellia decided to stay home for two days after solving the hidden danger, and rely on software to communicate on a daily basis.

·

Ji Heng and the abbot finished talking, with a slightly solemn expression, when a gust of wind suddenly swept around him, driven by the host's fiery walk.

At the moment of passing by, Princess Camellia stopped abruptly, and slammed her crutches on the ground twice: "Whose mortal situation is this?"

He sees it as his own!

Witnessing the people leaving with resentment, Ji Heng looked puzzled.

Not long after, Sur appeared in a state of embarrassment, his clothes were torn and wet, and there was a streak on his neck. He came floating like a ghost, the tip of his nose moved, and he smelled the refreshing scent of tea.

Ji Heng explained: "Not long ago the abbot was making tea with me and talking about Taoism."

Hearing that, Sur raised his face with a long sigh, and asked the same soul question as Princess Camellia: "Whose death is this?"

Since I became a civet cat yesterday, I can't remember how many times I almost died.

He took out a tissue and wiped the water off his forehead. Ji Heng frowned: "Go and change clothes, be careful of catching a cold."

The temple has specially equipped bathrobes for changing.

Putting on the strap of the bathrobe, Sur shrugged: "Before I came, I thought I must protect you."

Ji Heng couldn't help laughing: "Have you changed your mind now?"

"That's not it," Sur said. "It's just that it's not as expected."

Handing over a cup of hot water, Ji Heng cooperated and asked, "What's the difference?"

Su Er clenched his fingers and summed up seriously: "Your day... stroking cats, drinking tea, and the years are peaceful." Yu Bi pointed to himself: "My day... fights, fights, becomes a cat and gets slapped."
