Chapter 8: Blindness
I was stunned for a moment, I was still with Wang Le'an yesterday, why did he suddenly disappear?
When I saw Wang Le'an, he was already lying in the morgue, and before the autopsy report from the hospital came out, I was pulled aside by Wang Le'an's father, Wang Kui: "Chen Ye, tell me the truth, did Le'an encounter with something? He told me a few days ago that he contacted a deal for you. β
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I didn't ...... the deal he contacted."
Halfway through my words, Wang Le'an's daughter-in-law rushed over like crazy, grabbed my arm and didn't let go: "You killed Wang Le'an, if you hadn't done those gods and ghosts all day, would Wang Le'an have died?"
I reached out and blocked the other person: "Calm down." β
"Police, police...... Come and get him...... It was he who killed Wang Le'an!"
Before I came, Wang Le'an's daughter-in-law called the police, and the police also felt that the cause of Wang Le'an's death was unknown and needed me to cooperate with the investigation. Wang Le'an's daughter-in-law insisted on asking the police to take me back to the police station, but the police could only take me back, and it didn't take long for me to finish the record.
Wang Le'an's daughter-in-law's skills can't be so good, at least her action of avoiding her gaze is beyond the reaction of ordinary people.
I quietly took a cigarette out of my pocket and lit it as if I was lighting a cigarette and shone the lighter behind me.
The lighter I specially modified, with an extremely smooth shell that could be used as a mirror, was more than enough to see behind me.
The first thing I saw from the lighter was the head of Wang Le'an's daughter-in-law poking out of the corner. As soon as I could see the other side's face, the face on the lighter suddenly enlarged several times, and only a bloodshot eye was reflected on the mirror.
In an instant, the eyeball filled the entire mirror, and my face was clearly reflected in the blood-soaked dark purple pupils.
It was as if my eyes were caught in that eye, and I couldn't move even half a minute, so I could only meet the bloodied one-eye.
One second the pupils were still round open, but the next moment they quickly contracted under my eye and turned into a dot the size of a pin's nose, and I only felt a sharp pain in my eyes like pins and needles, and tears flowed down the corners of my eyes.
The pain in my eyes suddenly turned out, and I spit out the cigarette roll in my mouth, and the cigarette butt with the flame bounced on the shell of the lighter before it fell to the ground, and the eye reflected on the lighter disappeared.
As soon as I covered my eyes, the man hiding in the corner shrank back.
I rubbed my eyes as I chased in the direction where the man had disappeared.
The figure in front of me is ninety percent similar to Wang Le'an's daughter-in-law, but her speed is beyond ordinary people, shuttling through the crowd like the wind, and every time she wants to bump into a passerby, she can bypass the other party in time and pass by. I saw that every passer-by who was staggered with the other party was shivering involuntarily, and the place where the person walked became more and more off, and finally turned into an alley that no one usually passes.
I saw the man's back swaying at the mouth of the alley, and when I looked out again, the man was gone.
Before I could look any further, I felt a man standing behind me, and as soon as I reached for my waist, I struck a spirit.
Years of experience as a scout have made me develop the habit of hiding against walls, and how can I feel that there is someone behind me when there is a wall behind me?
Even if there is someone standing behind him, there should be a wall between me. But the next moment, I felt a hand pressed on my shoulder, and the cold air stuck to the man's finger instantly penetrated my clothes and pressed against my shoulder.
I pressed a human hand on my shoulder, but the other party's voice seemed to come from the wall: "Chen Ye, avenge Le An and me." β
Wang Le'an's daughter-in-law's voice?
I forced myself to calm down and said, "Who are you, what are you going to do?"
The man was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't go to the Shen Manor, go to Huaping Village." If you go to the Shen family, you will die, and if you go to Huaping Village, you will have a way to live. Take my word to heart. β
I wanted to ask again, but the man was gone.
After the man disappeared, I checked the place where I was standing three times, and there were no cracks in the wall behind me, and there were no footprints on the ground behind the wall. But, I'm sure, there was a man standing behind the wall just now.
I stood there and took a deep breath and walked briskly back to the white light. But as soon as I entered the door, I saw Ye Xuan standing at the door, still carrying a military dagger in his hand.
Before I could ask Ye Xuan what was going on, he lowered his voice and said, "There's a dead man sitting in your room?"
As soon as I glanced at Ye Xuan, I heard someone in the room say, "Shopkeeper Chen, you're back." Come in and talk!"
That voice was clearly Wang Le'an's father.
After I saw the other party, I realized why Ye Xuan said that he was a dead man.
Although Wang Le'an's father was sitting in my studio completely, his pupils had been completely opened, and his two eyes were looking at the door emptyly, and he didn't know if he was looking at me on purpose, or if it was an unconscious move.
Only the pupils of the dead will be dilated!
I also know Lao Wang, he was the only person who could "sweep" on Wenwan Street before I came to Wenwan Street, not a warlock, but he also knew the fur of a warlock. At that time, when Wang Le'an first took the inkstone, he was looking for his father, and Lao Wang couldn't handle the inkstone before he came to me.
Lao Wang took out a transfer slip from his pocket: "This is all my family's belongings, and now they have been transferred to your name." What Le'an got into trouble this time is amazing, I don't have the ability to avenge him, so I can only beg you. β
I did the opposite of Lao Wang: "Your daughter-in-law is dead or alive now, do you know?"
"It's supposed to be dead. Lao Wang said: "After she called the police to arrest you today, I wanted to tell her: find the police to withdraw the case." Le'an's death is none of your business, in fact, yesterday, Le'an came back before it was dark. I saw that something was wrong with Le'an at that time, and I asked him to hurry up and find you. He said he wouldn't go. Just wandering around the house all the time. While walking around, he rubbed his eyes, and his eyes were red, and then I gave him a drink of talisman water, and he stopped for a while. Who thought ......"
Lao Wang seemed to be grinning and crying, but not a single tear fell from his eyes.
I stretched out my hand to Ye Xuan behind me, and the other party quietly retreated outside the house and handed me a lantern.
Ye Xuan and I have nothing to say, he knows my skills clearly, he is not afraid of Lao Wang, because I took him to do similar work when I was in the army. I stretched out my hand and he knew I was going to take the lantern.
Ye Xuan quietly handed the lantern to me, but Lao Wang, who was sitting opposite me, didn't seem to know anything: "When I stopped my daughter-in-law today, she glanced at me, and I saw that she had blood in her eyes. The eyes are almost gone. I knew that she was infected with the evil spirit that Le'an brought back, but at that time, I couldn't save her if I wanted to, so I took advantage of the time I was pulling with him, and stuffed a talisman on her. With that talisman here, she'll be able to hold out for a while. Has she been looking for you?"
"I found it!" I nodded, "You asked her to find me?"
"That's right!" Lao Wang said: "When my daughter-in-law walked with the police, I kept shouting behind her to find Chen Ye, and after she died, she would definitely be able to find you." As long as she has looked for you, it means that she is gone. Our old Wang family is out of business!"
Lao Wang didn't wait for me to speak, and said, "I don't think she can escape this catastrophe, so I went home and drank the medicine myself." I used this life to change a place for you, and that place is called Huaping Village. The thing that killed three people in my family was in Huaping Village. β
I couldn't help but sink slightlyβmy grandfather told me that there is a skill among warlocks called "death certificate". To put it clearly, it is to trade your own life for clues. It is said that people can see many things clearly before they die. Warlocks may not be afraid of death, but they are most afraid that they will die without understanding, many warlocks will use secret methods to determine themselves when they encounter enemies they can't find, and they will definitely see some clues before they die, and this clue is called death certificate.
Lao Wang was afraid that he would not be able to explain what he saw, so he came to me.
I said in a deep voice, "What else do you see?"
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "That place is too evil, I only saw the stone tablet with Huaping Village written on it when I used the death certificate." β
I was about to speak, but Lao Wang stood up: "I have to go, I can't die in your house, if you are arrested by the police, there will really be no one to avenge the revenge of Lao Wang's family." Shopkeeper Chen, I know you are trustworthy. I thank you in advance. β
"I agreed to your business, you can go with peace of mind!" I didn't stop Lao Wang, the latter walked out of my store step by step with a stiff body, I kept watching him walk to the avenue of Wenwan Street, and then he fell to the ground without warning, and the owners of several shops next to him were busy coming out to call a car, shouting that someone wanted to save Lao Wang, but I knew that Lao Wang could not come back.
Ye Xuan came to my side: "Old class, you agreed?"
"I can't say no, look at my eyes......" I raised my head and glanced at Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan's face suddenly changed: "What's wrong with your eyes, why are they all red, why are you still bleeding." β
There is a mirror hanging in front of the door in my room, and when Lao Wang stood up just now, I saw from the mirror that my eyes were red, and at that time, there was a pool of blood in my eyes, and when I looked at it again, the blood was like tears flowing down my face.
I took out two pieces of rune paper from the table and dipped them in the blood stains on my eyes, and the somewhat sore eyeballs were a little better: "Prepare guys, let's go to work in the evening." β
