Chapter 11 Acting Alone
I sat for five or six minutes and suddenly I felt that something was wrong.
I was about to get up and go to the shopkeeper, but the boss walked in through the main entrance with the policeman, pointed at me and shouted, "It's him, he's going to rob my shop." ”
Oops, I'm still being calculated by my boss.
So far, I can only stand up and explain to the police.
Before I could speak, all the lights in the room suddenly went out, and the whole antique shop instantly became invisible.
Although my eyes are very bright, I still can't adapt to the sudden changes in light and darkness, and I will still be blind for a short time.
Before I could react, I heard a scream from the other side, and a stream of air with the smell of blood swooped down from the direction from which the scream came from.
I took a step back and grabbed the long knife on the table, slashing it down with its sheath at the oncoming object. I didn't see exactly what I had struck, but I heard a muffled sound of an iron rod hitting a man's head not far away.
After noticing that I didn't hear anyone falling to the ground, I picked up my long knife and slashed twice in the same direction. I can still hear the movement of the falling knife when the first knife goes down, but the second knife slashes into the air.
At this time, my eyes also adjusted after a brief transition between light and dark. I saw a figure move to my left with my head in my hands, and immediately chased after me with a long knife.
This time, I really got to see what the guy looked like. The shirtless body of the other party was covered with a dark green skin like a frog's skin, and the hands covering his head also had a frog-like membrane, and although there was still human-like hair on the top of his head, the strands of hair seemed to be stuck together by some kind of slime.
The other party had apparently been smashed open by me twice, and dark red blood was dripping down the top of his head. I didn't plan to draw the knife at first, but when I saw the other person's appearance, I immediately pulled out the long knife and raised the knife to slash at the top of the opponent's head.
As soon as I raised the long knife above my head, all the lights in the room came on. I just felt that my eyes were slight, and the guy who was still holding his head and moving it was suddenly gone.
The two policemen standing at the door shouted at the same time: "Put down the knife and don't move!"
When I swept to the door out of the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart: Oh no.
The shopkeeper didn't know when someone had cut his throat and collapsed in a pool of blood. The policeman standing near him, although unharmed, pointed his pistol at me after the lights were restored: "Put down the knife and squat with your head in your hands!"
There were only three people left in the room, and I was the only one holding a knife, and I was still stained with the blood that had burst out of the monster just now, and I couldn't clear my suspicion for a while.
When I turned around with my long knife in my hand, my head was still figuring out how to explain to the two policemen. What I didn't expect was that Dong Xiaowei suddenly rushed in from outside the store and hugged the police from behind: "Wang Huan, you run, you run!"
The policeman was blinded by Dong Xiaowei who suddenly appeared, and before he could break free of Dong Xiaowei, a boy in our class grabbed another policeman's arm.
At that time, the only thought in my mind was not to let the police catch me, and after I looked at Dong Xiaowei, I turned around and rushed into the backyard of the antique store. I have the impression that if I can jump over the wall into the backstreet from the backyard, as long as I can climb over it, everything will be fine.
However, before I could rush to the wall, I heard the policeman's shout behind me: "Stop, don't move!"
I hesitated for a moment, then sped towards the wall. I knew the police had guns in their hands, and I bet they wouldn't shoot me.
After I took two steps, I jumped up with my feet on the wall, and as soon as my outstretched left hand grabbed the wall, I heard a gunshot from behind, and I almost fell off the wall.
When I realized that the police were just firing warning shots, I immediately threw the long knife outside, grabbed the wall with both hands, and slammed it over the wall and landed on the street.
The back street of the antique shop is also a commercial area with people coming and going, and when I hit the ground, all I saw was a stunned crowd.
Whoever hears a gunshot and sees a bloodied figure jumping out from behind the wall can't help but fall into a brief shock. When I picked up the knife from the ground, the crowd of onlookers exploded and countless people were screaming and running, so I simply plunged into the crowd and pushed the crowd towards the end of the long street.
I didn't know exactly where I was going, the only thought was to keep digging into the pile. I know that when there are many people, the police will not shoot casually, and once I am alone, the police may no longer be "polite" to me.
I wanted to run out of the chaos, but the further I chose, the fewer people there were, and in the end I rushed into a dead end.
I couldn't climb over the high wall in front of the alley, but the footsteps of the police behind me were getting closer and closer, and listening to the footsteps, there were more than two policemen chasing after me, and even if I turned around now, it was impossible to break through between them.
I was in a hurry when I saw a figure flash at the mouth of the alley. When I instinctively grabbed the long knife and looked at the other party's face, I couldn't help but whisper: "Ye Xun!"
The person who came out of my back turned out to be Ye Xun! He followed me all the way?
"Don't make a sound. Ye Xun passed by me, rushed to the wall quickly, arched one leg, his hands were in one place, and his palms were on his legs, "Up!"
I didn't have time to think about anything more, so I inserted the knife into my belt, rushed forward a few steps quickly, and stepped on Ye Xun's palm, who took advantage of the situation to lift it up. I climbed the wall with the strength of Ye Xun, turned over and jumped behind the high wall, but fortunately there was a pile of discarded paper shells under the wall, so I was not injured.
When I climbed down from the paper shell, Ye Xun himself jumped over the wall and landed firmly on the ground.
Ye Xun was able to climb over the high wall without assistance, and there was not much sound after landing, which only showed that he was a practitioner.
Although Ye Xun saved me, I was wondering if I was his opponent at this moment.
I didn't practice martial arts, but my dad taught me how to fight.
My dad told me: 300 rounds of battles in novels and TV are bullshit. If they don't lie down for 300 rounds, it can only show that they are joking. In hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield, if two or three can't defeat the other party, you will die.
Fighting is a principle, see the opportunity to pass, knock down the other party, you can beat him casually. The hand is fast enough, the courage is big enough, the heart is ruthless enough, don't be afraid to beat people to death, you are a master.
With the eyesight that my dad taught me, I was never afraid of fighting, and I never lost. But Ye Xun in front of me made me feel bottomless for the first time.
Ye Xun and I looked at each other through a few cardboard boxes, and the police had already chased them into the alley: "I saw someone running in just now, where did they go? Could it be that they have climbed over the wall?"
"Nonsense. You don't see how high this wall is, no one can climb it without a hand. You must be mistaken, go back and chase over there. ”
Several policemen quickly left the alley, and only when their footsteps were far away did I speak, "Who are you?"
Ye Xun said calmly: "My name is Ye Xun, and I am also looking for the secrets in Fuxian Lake. As for who I am, I hope you don't ask. ”
I watched Ye Xun for a long time, I didn't speak, and the other party didn't speak, his silence seemed to be waiting for me to continue to ask.
I stared at Ye Xun and said, "Why did you save me?"
Ye Xun said as a matter of course: "Because the monster is also looking for you." I need help, and you need someone to work with you. ”
I reacted immediately: "You've been following me?"
"It's not. Ye Xun denied, "I've been asking about the monster I caught, and it wasn't until last night that I saw you in trouble." I'd like to follow you to see if there are any clues. You're better at finding clues than I am, though. So, I want to work with you. ”
I immediately caught the message in Ye Xun's words: "You mean, that monster can talk?"
Ye Xun nodded and said, "It can say simple things." But it wouldn't say anything in front of me, and I asked for a day to no avail. It only later occurred to me that the monster would be the first to find you, and the clue would not be on you. But before I could go to the hotel to look for you, I found you sleeping on the street. Since then, I have followed you. ”
Ye Xun's words sounded impeccable, but he avoided talking about the most important issues. I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking for the secret of Fuxian Lake? What is in Fuxian Lake?"
Ye Xun was silent for a moment before he said, "Why should I look for the secret of Fuxian Lake, I can't tell you, what is under Fuxian Lake is exactly the answer I am looking for." So you're asking a nonsense. ”
I almost didn't choke to death by Ye Xun. But there's nothing wrong with what he said. If he knew the answer, what else would he be looking for?
I was silent for a moment before I said, "And what do you know?"
Ye Xun said: "I came about a week earlier than you, and I have been inquiring about the legend of Fuxian Lake. Legend has it that the ghost town in Fuxian Lake will have a phantom on the lake every three years or so, and after the phantom, a water god will come out to pull people to fill the lake. As for what the god of water looks like, there are different opinions. But all the legends can't run out of one thing, and that is that they all have the characteristics of the water tribe. For example, the water god I caught is somewhat similar to the wave-resistant fish in Fuxian Lake. ”
Ye Xun said extremely seriously: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, if it hadn't been caught by my own hands, I would have even suspected that he was the legendary Dragon Palace Water Clan." ”
I looked at Ye Xun: "Take me to see that guy." ”
