Chapter 10, Memory Fragments
In Lin Xiaoxiao's room in the B&B hotel, Lin Xiaoxiao turned over and fell directly to the ground. Lin Xiaoxiao, who was in a daze, rubbed her eyes and struggled to get up.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had messy hair, staggered to the living room and drank two bottles of mineral water at once.
"Hiccup...... It's finally alive. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had eased up her drinking, looked at the room at the other end of the living room, which was Xu Huiling's room.
Because it has always been a public-funded business trip, when Xu Huiling booked the room, he directly opened a two-bedroom landscape suite in the stilted homestay, and Xi Fei arranged to live in a single room at the end of the side.
Lin Xiaoxiao staggered to the door of Xu Huiling's room, stuck her head in, and glanced around in a secret observation.
"Wow, the bed in Sister Ling's room is so big. Hey, no, what about Sister Ling?"
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Lin Xiaoxiao entered the room and looked around and turned on the Lin detective mode.
The quilt on the bed was lifted, and it was obvious that Xu Huiling had already gotten up and left before Lin Xiaoxiao woke up. The skin care products on the table were messy, and it was obvious that Xu Huiling was in a hurry when she left, and she hurriedly went out before she had time to clean up. The laptop on the side is also connected to a single-lens reflex camera for taking pictures, which should be that Xu Huiling has sorted out the photos taken since he came back yesterday.
"If it's going to breakfast, according to Sister Ling's habits, it should be sorted out. Where has Sister Ling gone?"
Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking in confusion, there was a knock on the door. Then came Xi Fei's shouting at the top of his throat.
"Sister Ling, Xiaoxiao, let's go, let's eat. Aren't you hungry? Do you want to lose weight?"
Just as Xi Fei was about to knock on the door again, Lin Xiaoxiao opened the door with a glare.
"Little fat man, you shout soul. Do you have a sense of public morality? What should you do if you make a noise that affects other people's rest? Even if it doesn't affect other people's rest, you're not afraid of affecting others? Huh?"
"Uh......... That, don't talk nonsense in broad daylight. I'm just here to call you to dinner, and it's almost noon. Hey, hey, hey."
Xi Fei smiled awkwardly, and Xi Fei's laughter was accompanied by Xi Fei's stomach rumbling protests.
"You woke up hungry, Sister Ling is not here, you should have gone out early in the morning. You're waiting outside, and Miss Ben is going to bathe and change your clothes. ”
"Ahh......h
"Bang~~~"
Before Xi Fei could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao had already turned around and closed the door. Xi Fei looked helpless, so he could only squat by the door, muttering to himself while brushing the circle of friends.
"When I finish losing the cup money, I won't serve yet. ”
Speaking of this, Xi Fei suddenly remembered that he had signed the so-called Book of the Two Realms with Dongliang. I thought it was a lie to make up these stories, but I remembered that I saw Zhang Han who had died on the rooftop. A burst of memories flashed through Xi Fei's mind, and he couldn't help but shudder from his body.
"Then I'll be the store manager, yes, when I become the store manager, Lin Xiaoxiao, you have to listen to me. I'll direct you to mop the floor and wash the dishes every day. That's right, I have to behave well in front of Sister Ling, and then let Sister Ling say more good things to me in front of the boss, hahahahaha. ”
Just as Xi Fei was smirking at his mobile phone, Lin Xiaoxiao on the side tiptoed down.
"Wow........."
A sudden shout sounded in Xi Fei's ears, and Xi Fei jumped forward directly. The mobile phone in his hand also flew out, and the mobile phone that flew out happened to fall at the feet of Xu Huiling, who came back.
"What? Are you going to get a new phone?"
Xu Huiling picked up the mobile phone at her feet and walked towards Xi Fei.
"Sister Ling, Xiaoxiao ...... her"
"I saw it, you are too timid, find time for me to help you practice your courage. ”
Hearing Xu Huiling's words, Lin Xiaoxiao walked over in two steps, poked Xi Fei with her hand, and said with a smug face.
"Did you hear it, little fat smashed, Sister Ling thinks you are too timid. ”
Xu Huiling handed the phone to Xi Fei and glared at Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Don't scare him so much in the future, if you change someone with a heart attack, you can be scared to death. ”
"Uh, oh, yes, okay, then I promise not to carry it in the future...... After scaring him. Sister Ling, where did you go early in the morning?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was sloppy, deliberately prolonged the two notes behind her, and looked at Xu Huiling with curiosity.
"Face-to-face scare has to be gradual, otherwise it is easy to scare people stupid. I went out early in the morning to run errands, are you going out to eat now?
Xu Huiling frowned, and between the words, she had already heard Lin Xiaoxiao's clever thoughts. After exposing Lin Xiaoxiao, he asked Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei with a sleepy face.
"Uh-huh......" Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei nodded together and replied.
"Well, good. I'll send you a picture of the ornament, and you can go out and look for it after eating. Let's see which store has exactly the same thing, I woke up too early, I'll go back to sleep first. ”
After speaking, Xu Huiling took out the room card and turned around and entered the room, leaving Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei in the corridor confused.
"Sister Ling, what's weird?"
Xi Fei asked Lin Xiaoxiao curiously, after all, they were in the same room, and Xi Fei seemed to think that Lin Xiaoxiao could give the answer.
"I'm also a wooden chicken, you ask me, I'll ask the side?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and replied to Xi Fei in a mouthful of loose Cantonese. As he spoke, he pushed Xi Fei towards the stairs.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei went down to the lobby of the B&B, they received a WeChat message from Xu Huiling on their mobile phones. In the WeChat of the two, there are two identical pictures and a voice.
The two of them then clicked on the pictures in their mobile phones and looked at them carefully, and the two photos in their mobile phones were the same, the photo was a small round silver medal, and there was a six-pointed star pattern embossed on the front of the silver medal. The back of the silver medal is covered with abrasion marks, which appear to have been worn off on purpose. There are also some strange vague symbols around the six-pointed star, which seem to be some kind of text or some kind of graphics.
Xi Fei then clicked on the voice, and Xu Huiling's tired voice came from inside.
"After you two have eaten, go to all the shops that sell silver jewelry here. See if there's anything the same or similar, and then ask by the way where the pattern comes from. ”
After listening to the voice sent by Xu Huiling, Xi Fei looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and asked.
"Tell me what you sent that?"
So Lin Xiaoxiao then clicked on the voice received on his mobile phone, which was still Xu Huiling's voice.
"Come back and bring me whatever you want to eat. ”
"Okay, Sister Ling. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao replied to Xu Huiling's voice, and then took Xi Fei to look for food all over the street.
Xu Huiling in the room lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time before gradually falling asleep. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a dreamland, but it is precisely another state of Xu Huiling, and the memory returns.
Memory relapse is a special ability training that is unique to the personnel of the previous East Fence Agency and is naturally received, in a state that seems to be asleep, and returns to the scene that was previously experienced, so as to find clues that were ignored or missed at the time. It's just that the longer the time of recall, the longer the apparent sleep will be. If you want to enter the memories of a few months ago in a state of memory reflux, depending on your physical condition, you may or may not sleep for a few days and nights.
In the dream, Xu Huiling returned to the scene when the three of them came out of the B&B hotel to eat at noon on the first day.
The three of them were talking and laughing and eating snacks and taking photos on the street, and Xu Huiling followed the footsteps of herself, Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei in her dreams, walking and stopping on the side of the road.
In front of the snack stall of tofu balls, Xu Huiling saw the uneasiness in her eyes. So he looked behind the three people in the dream, behind the three people in the dream were people coming and going, because there were too many tourists, Xu Huiling couldn't tell where his uneasiness came from for a while.
So Xu Huiling walked behind the three people in the dream, as if time stood still for a while. Xu Huiling walked through the stagnant crowd alone, observing the people coming and going.
After observing back and forth, Xu Huiling did not find anything abnormal. So he looked up and looked around, and sure enough, he found an answer that made him uneasy.
In the window of the second floor of a small restaurant on the side of the street, there was a dark shadow watching the three people wandering the street.
Xu Huiling immediately ran over, ran to the second floor and opened the door of a small box. There was an untouched table of food in the room, and a man in a black cloak stood by the window, his head poking out slightly.
Xu Huiling walked to the man in black and looked in the direction of the man in black's eyes. Suddenly frowning, what Xu Huiling saw was the back of herself, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Xi Fei buying tofu balls at a roadside stall.
Xu Huiling turned his head to look at the man in black, who had a cloak on his head and a mask on his face, revealing a little murderous aura in his eyes. The man in black can see half a tattoo on the left side of his neck, which is half of the six-pointed star. It can be roughly judged by the eyes that this is very similar to Xu Huiling's encounter with people in the mountains. Because in the dream of memory regression, he could only observe and could not touch any object, so Xu Huiling could not take off the mask of the man in black.
As the time went on, it was late at night. In the dream, Xu Huiling held Lin Xiaoxiao with one hand and Xi Fei with the other. The three of them swayed out of the restaurant of sour soup fish, and Xu Huiling, who was supporting the two, still revealed uneasiness in her eyes.
Looking at the backs of the three of them swaying away in the dream, Xu Huiling on the side clasped her hands and looked around again.
After some careful identification, behind the departure of the three people. It was still the rooftops of the shops on the street, and the silhouette of a dark shadow was hidden in the night.
Xu Huiling jumped on the snack cart next to her, and carefully observed the black shadow in front of her in a state of standing still in time. The Black Shadow wore a black cloak and a mask, and the light was too dark for him to see the tattoos on the black's eyes and neck.
Time moved back again, and it was like a movie fast-forwarding to the winding mountain path of the next day. Xu Huiling followed behind herself in the dream, all the way through the thorns to the broken brick house on the mountainside, but now Xu Huiling was more observing the movements around her, she wanted to see if she could find the trace of the man in black who suddenly appeared.
Following him all the way to the broken brick house in the mountains, Xu Huiling watched the process of kicking the broken door and entering the door to check the earthen pot of items, while paying attention to the surroundings.
Just as Xu Huiling turned his head to look behind him, a man wearing a black cloak and a black mask stood behind him.
This sudden man in black made Xu Huiling instinctively raise his legs, and kicked over with a roundabout kick, only to realize that the kick was just a memory illusion in a dream.
At this moment, an earthen pot flew out of the broken brick house and smashed heavily on the raised arm of the man in black. Then Xu Huiling in the dream ran out of the broken house in two steps. The right leg exerts force to allow itself to soar forward, the left leg bends the top knee, and the left knee hits the head of the black shadow.
Xu Huiling's left knee was just on the bridge of the black shadow's nose. Without waiting for the black shadow to raise his head, Xu Huiling, who was falling from the momentum, raised his right hand, and smashed his right elbow directly on the root of the left ear of the black shadow's left face.
Xu Huiling, who witnessed her wonderful performance, followed the man in black and trotted all the way to the top of the mountain.
On the mountaintop platform, due to the distance at that time, Xu Huiling couldn't get too close to the man in black. So now Xu Huiling once again stopped remembering time, stepped forward and squatted down, carefully observing the black-clothed man in front of him who took off his mask and leaned against the stone.
The man in front of him had some fear and despair in his eyes. Half of the festered fleshless face can be seen directly from the teeth in the mouth. The teeth were already red with blood from the mouth, and some of them were leaking out of the festering flesh holes all the way to the neck.
When Xu Huiling saw the neck of the man in black, her brows furrowed, and doubts kept rising. The six-pointed star tattoo on the neck of the man in black is not surprisingly also there, but the six-pointed star tattoo of the person in front of him is on the right side of his neck, and the six-pointed star tattoo of the man in black with murderous eyes in the restaurant box is on the left side of his neck.
In this way, it was not just the man in black who jumped down who was eyeing Xu Huiling, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Xi Fei.
After the man in black in the dream jumped down, Xu Huiling in the dream found a silver round plate at the stone pillar where the man in black leaned, with a six-pointed star pattern carved on it. This is exactly the round silver medal that Xu Huiling took a photo of and asked Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei to find.
The realistic Xu Huiling looked at the back of Xu Huiling in the dream holding a red oil-paper umbrella and began to think for a short time.
Now all the clues found are focused on the six-pointed star, and we need to find out the connection between this six-pointed star and the person in black who refines the Gu as soon as possible, otherwise if we continue to consume it like this, we will put ourselves and Lin Xiaoxiao and Xi Fei in danger that I don't know.
