Chapter 4: Strange People
As the sun sets, at the end of the road in the distance, a black Mercedes-Benz G500 speeds by, and after a gallop, it stops in front of a villa in the city.
The three-storey building is simple and elegant, and the expansive courtyard is full of rare and delicate plants.
The electric gate slowly opened, and Leng Yan got out of the car and walked straight into the villa.
In the villa, the furnishings are very simple, but everywhere is luxurious and elegant, seats, coffee tables, bookcases, tables, all are authentic precious solid wood.
In particular, a set of chairs placed in the center, the inky texture of the flowing clouds and water, contained in a dark gold, in front of a pot of incense burners, a quiet and gentle fragrance faintly rising.
Leng Yan found a place to sit down, his fingers tapping casually on the gentle and smooth armrest.
"It's cold, long time no see. With a hearty greeting, upstairs on the second floor, a tall and straight middle-aged man appeared.
Behind him, there was a person, but that person was completely hidden behind the middle-aged man, as if it completely coincided with his shadow, almost imperceptible.
Leng Yan nodded slightly at the visitor, but did not say much.
The middle-aged man didn't care, and raised his heavy eyebrows, "I should have seen my nephew this time, right?"
Hearing this, the cold beating fingers stopped suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "Third Master, are you checking me?"
The middle-aged man came to the opposite side and sat down, and replied with a smile: "I Fu Dongliu want to find out who still needs to ask in person? Not to mention that with your skills, who can get close to ordinary characters?"
The other party's words were to the point, and he said slowly: "I did see Hu Fei." ”
"After all, as an elder, I always have to give some appropriate attention. Fu Dongliu pulled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly condensed, "If I guessed correctly, the reason why you appeared must be that my nephew's left eye has awakened." ”
With a loud bang, the armrest of the cold palm broke suddenly, and he immediately drank: "So what, Hu Fei's current situation can't cope with the pressure of his left eye, what do you want." ”
Fu Dongliu's tone also sank, "Leng Yan, you have to be clear about your identity, Hu Fei is the successor of the eldest brother, and the 'dictatorship' should have mastered its movements." ”
Leng Yan snorted lightly, "Unless it is the third master, you personally take action, otherwise send more people, otherwise in Leng Mou's hands, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask for any benefits." This is said to be domineering, and it is really not contemptible.
Fu Dongliu paused, his expression changed, and he said softly: "After so many years of friendship, you still have this temper, my entire set of chairs is worth tens of millions, but now it is ruined by you." ”
Seeing that Leng Yan still didn't react much, Fu Dongliu immediately smiled again: "By the way, what news does Zhu Gui have?"
Leng Yan just shook his head and asked, "What else does the third master have to do?"
Fu Dongliu sighed: "Hey, you are such a character, you come and go in a hurry, and you don't catch up with me." ”
"I don't need to tell anyone about the old things I remember, and I'm not interested in the old things you remember, Third Master. As soon as the words fell, Leng Yan had already gotten up, "After this operation, I need to be by Hu Fei's side, and when the next selection comes, Hu Fei will definitely be able to win the championship in one fell swoop." This is not a request for instructions, but more like a message, and after speaking, no matter what Fu Dongliu's reaction is, he will leave without permission.
After the cold figure left the villa for a long time, Fu Dongliu sighed leisurely, "Lao Sha, what do you think?" ”
It was only at this time that the man in the shadow behind him slowly appeared, lowered his head and said: "Leng Yan has always been such a character, third master, you are not surprised." ”
Fu Dongliu snorted thoughtfully.
But I heard the man say again: "Leng Yan and Zhu Gui have helped the third master deal with dictatorial affairs over the years, but it is only for the sake of the deceased uncle and the second master. With all due respect, the third master and I are the main servants, so it is the best; Zhu Gui and the second master are partners, and they can be controlled; only Leng Yan and the uncle, who were brothers in life and death back then, this bond is the most difficult to guess, and it can be seen from his attention to Young Master Hu Fei now. ”
Fu Dongliu nodded his forehead helplessly, and sighed slowly: "Unconsciously, Mr. Bai Mei has passed away for ten years, and I have also taken over the dictatorship for ten years. In the past ten years, I have used almost all my connections and financial resources, but there is still no clue. ”
As he spoke, he got up and came to the window, recalling Bai Mei's prophecy, as if he was talking to himself, "The eyes are the same as the heavens, the yin and yang of Pudu have passed through the years, the heavenly spirit and the earth have existed for thousands of years, and it is difficult to leave the right path in the world." ”
The night poured down quietly, and in the black and blue sky, a few stars occasionally flickered and dimmed.
On the desk, Hu Fei was in front of him with a piece of information spread out, but his eyes stayed on the bamboo slips left by his father, which were densely connected to each other, and each gap was covered with fly-headed small slips.
Touching his father's things, Hu Fei sighed unconsciously, he couldn't imagine that this bamboo slip had become the only link between him and his father, but it was strange to say, the content recorded in the bamboo slip was very complicated, but there was always a certain sentence that could clearly explain his current doubts.
First of all, the left eye of the devil was not as terrifying as he thought.
It is recorded in the bamboo slips that not all people's souls cannot be dissipated after death, only those who have deep resentments and obsessions, at the moment when the soul is withdrawn from the body, can be condensed and transformed into another form to exist in the world.
In other words, Hu Fei's earlier speculation that eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, taking the bus, and going to the elevator would all be in the same room with the ghost could not have happened at all.
And most importantly, the re-condensation of energy requires the replacement of the physical body with something, relying on it, and because of the different molecular structures, the range of activity cannot be too far away from that thing.
For example, the old woman by the river should also have something sunk at the bottom of the river, so naturally she can't leave the river to endanger the world.
If you want to eliminate it, as Leng Yan said, you must seal the river and fill the soil, and burn the things where the energy resides, then the energy will have nowhere to put it, and it will turn into particles again and dissipate between heaven and earth.
With such a basis, Hu Fei began his own bold guess, taking Wu Hai as an example, the two ghost presses were in his room, so the soul of the little fat Wu Hai must be living on something in the room.
With the above explanation, it is not difficult to guess what is the link between the two, and the only thing at present must be the novel that Wu Hai gave to Hu Fei as a birthday gift - "White Night Walking".
When he was thinking about it, there was still one thing that made Hu Fei difficult to understand, why the same soul, the gap between Wu Hai and the old woman was so big, Wu Hai couldn't even speak, but the old woman could think of harming people!
After rummaging for a while, it was revealed at the other end of the bamboo slip that the moment when the world passed away should be the time when the soul energy dissipated, and people who are obsessed with the heart cannot disperse the energy after death, but the energy that is not strong enough will stop here.
But there are always exceptions, such as the tragedy of the old woman by the river caused a lot of sensation in the city, to this day, there are still some copywriters who will mention this matter, everyone who understands this matter will inevitably have compassion, the active thinking and nerves in the world will produce a weak magnetic field, which is like the brain waves released through bioelectricity, countless thoughts are transmitted through the thoughts, and they are condensed again, and the old woman's soul can continue to grow over time.
As soon as he thought of this, Hu Fei couldn't help but think of his father, who he had never met, and even Wu Hai's parents, if there are really ghosts and gods in the world, whether it is a bad thing or a good thing, if death is not completely gone, for his loved ones, there is no ghost in the world that is much more terrifying than a ghost.
At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, Hu Fei brought an eye mask early and came to the edge of the city according to the agreement with Leng Yan.
From the moment he saw the ghost in his left eye, Hu Fei actually didn't know what he needed to face in the future, and at this moment, the young man's mentality was a little frightened and even more excited.
Leng Yan came earlier, still standing next to him like a green pine, and when he saw Hu Fei coming, he said softly: "Have you finished reading all yesterday's books?"
Hu Fei yawned heavily, nodded and said, "I've read it all roughly." ”
In fact, the information that Leng Yan gave to Hu Fei yesterday was very complicated, including the myths of various countries, the origin of the universe, anecdotes, and even the story of a vampire hunter.
"Do you think there is anything different about all living beings in the world?" Leng Yan asked yesterday's question again.
This time, Hu Fei did not rush to answer, but waited for a cold explanation.
Sure enough, Leng Yan continued: "Compared with ordinary people, there is another group that is different from ordinary people but exists in the world. ”
There are so many theories about the formation of the universe today, but most of them are based on the Singularity Big Bang. The myths of various countries have also been described, at the beginning of heaven and earth, all things were chaotic, and after the opening of the world, there were all living beings in the world.
From the vast universe to each planet, there is an overload of energy when it is formed, and these unimaginably huge energies continue to discretely aggregate, and finally form three 'strange stones', namely: the 'spirit' that controls the spirit of all things, the 'realm' that represents the world's nature, and the 'dao' that plans the rules of time and space.
The three strange stones have the energy to destroy the universe and rebuild the universe, and in millions of years, there will occasionally be leaks, and the people who are eroded by the energy and then become one with it are called 'strange people' by later generations.
In ancient times in our country, there were records of those who called for wind and rain and scattered beans to form soldiers, and these people either made meritorious contributions or guarded one side, and they were all strange people with great magical powers. The Western world also records this kind of gifted talent like stars, such as archangels, Satan, Nephilims, and so on.
With the cold and continuous narration, although Hu Fei was a little difficult to accept in his heart, his brain had already kept up with the rhythm, "This kind of ability is considered a superpower?"
"You can understand it that way. Leng Yan said: "The number of strange people is extremely rare, but all of them have the ability to destroy the world, so someone must always stand up to maintain this delicate balance, these people are born ordinary human beings, but through chance and their own penance, they are finally higher than ordinary people, their formation at the beginning, is to resist strange people, so they call themselves 'wonder hunters'." ”
"I'll take a break. Hu Fei frowned, carefully chewing the content of the cold explanation.
Leng Yan had to use difficult words again, trying to explain to Hu Fei in the most understandable words, "Like you, you were born to overlook yin and yang, and melt through heaven and earth, but you have not yet awakened, once the ability is used, the innate ability of the realm is unlimited, it is called a 'strange person', and I can perceive the soul of the old woman by the river, which comes from my years of practice and experience, but I can't clearly see the appearance of the other party, I can only get a rough idea, I am a 'curiosity hunter'." ”
"Well, I kind of get it. Although Hu Fei still looks like he is ignorant and demented, he still understands the definition given by Leng Yan in his heart.
"Alright, lock your bike here now, and go to school now. ”
"What?" Hu Fei thought he had misheard, and asked suspiciously.
looked at him coldly and explained: "Use the one to run, go to school." ”
This time, Hu Fei didn't hear it wrong, but his stunned expression became even more serious, "Uncle Leng, this place is at least ten kilometers away from my school, right?"
Leng Yan nodded, "Fourteen kilometers, by the way, I will send you to school by bicycle." ”
"Isn't it a bit far?" Although the intersection is not deep, Hu Fei still has a lot of respect for Leng Yan, and he didn't dare to protest loudly at this time, so he had to mutter.
"If you want to deal with the backlash of your left eye, you need a lot of physical toughness. Leng Yan patiently explained: "As a strange person, it is not difficult to surpass the limits of ordinary people, your time is limited, and you can't delay at all." ”
When it comes to surpassing human limits, Hu Fei really doesn't have this self-confidence, so what he is showing now is a head-to-toe rejection.
However, Leng Cold's patience seemed to have been exhausted, "I have something to do, I have to leave today, before I come back, you have to stick to this amount of training every day, if you are lazy, I will definitely know." ”
Leng Yan didn't continue, but Hu Fei was also frightened by him, so he reluctantly opened his legs and ran in the direction of the school.
didn't run far, and Leng Yan said in the back: "By the way, this afternoon is the day when your friend's case is finalized, you had better solve this matter quickly." ”
Hearing this, Hu Fei stumbled under his feet, but then gritted his teeth and rushed forward, even for the sake of Xiaopang, for the unwilling soul, he was desperate, and he had to integrate the ability of his left eye.
Far away at the end of the city, the rising sun merges with the ground, the shadow of the young man running is infinitely extended, and waiting for the darkness before sunrise is the most painful, but necessary process.
