Just when everyone was in despair, Ren Zhifei said again: "However, before last night, someone once asked Lao Fang about the location of Guxia Mountain."
Jiang Cheng was wary and asked quickly: "How come there are other people asking about Guxia Mountain? Are they Guixu believers?"
Ren Zhifei shook his head and said: "It's not a Guixu believer. It seems that she has a hostile relationship with the Guixu believers. Lao Fang also secretly killed the stalker for her, so the other party is not necessarily a bad person."
Jiang Cheng was confused and had to ask: "If that's the case, did Lao Fang tell him the location of Guxia Mountain?"
"No, Lao Fang lied to her." Ren Zhifei continued to shake his head, and then changed the topic and said: "Lao Fang told me that what he told the other party was the completely opposite direction. Based on what Lao Fang said, maybe I I can tell you the general direction of Guxia Mountain."
Xu Dingjia felt a glimmer of hope and said: "We have a sky measuring ruler. As long as it can give us the correct direction, we will be able to determine its specific location when it is within the sensing range of the sky measuring ruler!"
The Jiangcheng group finally got the news about the ruins from Ren Zhifei, but after experiencing the strange events last night, they did not feel at all relaxed. Thinking that Guixu believers would appear one after another in the future, Jiang Cheng and others felt an increasing sense of urgency.
After a brief discussion, the three decided to set off immediately to enter the ruins before the Gui Ruins believers came to the door. With Guo An in charge of finishing the subsequent events, they were not too worried about getting involved in unnecessary trouble.
At the same time, for safety reasons, Jiang Cheng suggested that Ren Zhifei also leave the hotel immediately. Considering that Lao Fang was Ren Zhifei's only relative, Jiang Cheng thought about it and recommended that he go to the lunatic asylum and find Shao Fang to take him in. After all, they are all strangers and should be able to take care of each other.
Although Ren Zhifei was not an ordinary person, he was still a child after all. Considering his current situation, he had no choice but to accept Jiang Cheng's suggestion. But before going to the lunatic asylum, he still needs to stay and deal with Lao Fang's funeral affairs. Knowing that the three of them were worried about their own safety, Ren Zhifei promised to deal with everything as soon as possible, and then went to the lunatic asylum to seek asylum.
After receiving Ren Zhifei's assurance that there would be nothing else going on, the three finally set out on their journey to the ruins.
After the three people left, the police arrived. Because Guo An deliberately concealed it, what happened in the hotel was characterized as a murder case caused by a burglary. As for the remaining two Guixu believers, Guo An explained that it was the sudden onset of mental illness among ordinary residents. As an honest man who is accustomed to telling the truth, Guo An has to fabricate so many lies at one time. For him, all this is far more difficult than experiencing a gun battle. Fortunately, Ren Zhifei was on hand to give him some advice. Although the explanation for all this was a bit strong, others had to believe it.
This time the case finally came to an end, and Guo An breathed a sigh of relief. But what he didn't expect was that what he experienced this time was just the beginning of many weird and bizarre events in the future.
Although Guo An helped, Ren Zhifei did not attract much attention from the police. After all, Ren Zhifei was still a child. He only went to the police station to take notes, and then was sent back to the hotel by Guo An. With Guo An's help, Ren Zhifei dealt with Lao Fang's funeral affairs, then packed his things and prepared to take refuge in the lunatic asylum.
Looking at the sky outside the window, it was already afternoon. Ren Zhifei looked out the window in the direction of Guxia Mountain and murmured: "I wonder if Jiangcheng and the others have found the ruins?"
After being lost in thought for a while, Ren Zhifei concentrated on packing his things and walked out of the hotel. There was a faint sound of a car starting outside the door, and Guo An was waiting for him outside.
Although they were in the same city, the lunatic asylum was still some distance away from the hotel. In order to ensure that no accidents occurred on the way, Guo An offered to drive Ren Zhifei there.
Just as he was about to step out of the hotel, Ren Zhifei suddenly remembered something and turned to look in the direction of the basement.
Ren Zhifei thought of his previous conversation with Bao Hong and suddenly wanted to take a look in the basement. Lao Fang might still have some unknown secrets hidden there. Ren Zhifei wanted to know Lao Fang's past and what happened.
So, Ren Zhifei ignored Guo An who was waiting outside and walked straight to the basement.
With a creak, the basement door opened.
A glimmer of light appeared in the dark and vast space. Ren Zhifei turned on the lights in the basement. Under the light, those familiar things were placed quietly in it.
"Look at that hourglass." Black Cat's voice appeared in his consciousness, reminding Ren Zhifei.
Ren Zhifei looked in the direction the black cat said and found that the sand in the hourglass had run out at this moment. Ren Zhifei felt a strange feeling in his heart and walked towards the hourglass involuntarily. Getting closer, he suddenly discovered that there was a piece of paper in the upper part of the hourglass. The piece of paper was about the size of a book page, with words written on it, but through the glass of the hourglass, it was difficult to see what was inside.
Ren Zhifei stretched out his hand and wanted to take out the piece of paper, but he didn't know how to start.
A crackling sound came from his feet.
Ren Zhifei was startled and looked up, and found that the bottom of the hourglass seemed to be unable to bear the weight of so much sand and actually broke apart.
The cracks spread quickly after they appeared, spreading like a spider web across the bottom of the hourglass.
Ren Zhifei carefully took a few steps back, and just as he stood still, he saw the crack suddenly burst open, and golden gravel spurted out from the crack, and continued to expand the crack. Eventually, the hourglass shattered completely, and gravel covered the ground beneath his feet. On top of the gravel and glass fragments, the page fell lightly in front of Ren Zhifei.
Ren Zhifei picked up the piece of paper gently, and under the light of the basement, he could see the words on it clearly.
In an instant, Ren Zhifei's expression changed, as if he was very shocked, but also as if he couldn't believe what he saw. He stared at the piece of paper, unable to utter a complete sentence. He only muttered: "Book of Prophecy?... Keeper of Secrets?"
Outside the hotel door, the surroundings were silent. Guo An waited for a long time, gradually feeling uneasy in his heart.
Just when he was about to go in and check, he found Ren Zhifei's figure appearing at the door.
Guo An was a little relieved, but he saw that Ren Zhifei looked wrong. It was because the other person was depressed after losing a relative, so he asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Ren Zhifei shook his head and said: "I just... forget it, I'm fine."
Guo An didn't care about Ren Zhifei's weird behavior. He just opened the car door for Ren Zhifei and said, "I know this is difficult for you, but everything will pass. Get in the car and I will take you to that safe place." "
Ren Zhifei was indifferent and just said silently: "Indeed, it is difficult."
After a moment, Ren Zhifei came back to his senses and said to Guo An: "I'm sorry, I can't go to the lunatic asylum now. I have to go to another place, that place is very important to me!"
Although Guo An heard it strange, he also knew that this was not a child's willfulness, so he said: "Where is that place? I will send you there."
Ren Zhifei shook his head and said: "There is no way to drive to that place."
Guo An became more and more confused and asked, "Where is that place?"
"The foreigner's camp." Ren Zhifei took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's also my hometown."
