Chapter 55: The Demon Card
Catcher, this is the first time I've heard this word, it sounds very ordinary, but it feels very mysterious to me, the first thing that comes to my mind is the fast catch in the ancient yamen, which is actually equivalent to the current criminal police.
Seeing what he said, I asked in confusion:
"You're a plainclothes cop who specializes in catching bad guys?"
The gray-robed man looked up and smiled, this indifferent temperament was extremely incompatible with his appearance full of pimples and baldness, and I even felt that there was another person under his skin.
"I'm not a policeman, but the people I arrest are much more powerful than the bad guys. ”
I was about to continue asking when the gray-robed man stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, little brother, don't be curious, you will naturally know in the future, and the future road will depend on yourself. ”
I listened to his meaning, as if he wanted to say goodbye to me, and hurriedly asked:
"Aren't you going to help me find Wanhu Village?"
The gray-robed man did not answer me directly, but brushed away the weeds and began to walk out, I hurriedly followed his footsteps, and he continued without looking back:
"Remember this place, you will be back in the future. ”
Listening to his words, I quickly looked back, the place where we were just now, was in front of a stone stele, the side of the stone stele was marked by a circle of small circular grooves, the strange thing is that this stone tablet did not have any words engraved on it, it was hidden in the vast weeds, if he had not brought me, maybe I would never have found it.
I knew that this was the place he was referring to, and it was this place that allowed me to avoid the pursuit, so I looked around carefully, and after roughly estimating the position, I followed the gray-robed man again.
The gray-robed man never spoke to me again all the way, so he walked forward silently and helped me lead the way.
It was only when he came to the fork in the village in front of him that he stopped and said to me earnestly:
"Okay, little brother, you should go back, I still have my own things to do, so don't leave it at that. ”
In fact, to be honest, this gray-robed man just changed his clothes, and then took me to the stele to save my life, and told me some things that I couldn't figure out, and he never made a move at all from beginning to end, but he gave me the feeling that he was extraordinary, and inexplicably gave me a sense of trust.
Seeing that he turned around to leave, I hurriedly said:
"If there is danger in the future, can I call you for help?"
The gray-robed man was slightly stunned, then took out a small cyan sword from his pocket, handed it to me, and said:
"It is estimated that it will be difficult to meet in the future, so this is for you. ”
After that, he ignored me again, turned around and left.
I took the small cyan sword to see clearly, it turned out that it was not a small sword, but a long sword, but it was broken from the finger length of the sword body, so at a glance, it looked like a small sword, but his hilt was particularly delicate, as if it was entangled by a few small snakes, and the palm of his hand was cold.
After careful inspection, it was found that the word "Wufeng" was engraved on the sword.
I looked at the broken sword in my hand speechlessly, this gray-robed man is really perfunctory, this sword hilt is exquisitely made, there is no sword body, how can I fight with others.
When I looked up, I saw that the figure of the gray-robed man had long since disappeared, and I didn't even know his name.
I shrugged my shoulders and pocketed the broken sword into my bag, then glanced at the long, straight path behind me.
Thinking of all the encounters last night, I was really emotional, I worked so hard to find Xie Desheng, it is a pity that he died, and the last words of the old man at the consultation desk before he died, let me convey the words of the old woman.
There must be no time at the moment.,Little Devil's game will be released today.,I have to hurry back.,I'll have to go to the old lady to tell my last words later.。
After a sigh, I turned and started walking back.
The sun had just risen, and I had turned off my phone before I went to the psychiatric hospital.
When I turned it on, I suddenly thought of a question.
I didn't come home all night, and my parents should be in a hurry......
I slapped myself in the face, I was careless, I should have called them first last night.
It was useless to say anything now, so I hurriedly called my mother while walking back:
The call went through quickly, and I quickly explained:
"Mom...... I'm fine, I'll be back soon......"
My mom was stunned on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, then said:
"What's okay with you? You ran out at six o'clock this morning, why did you go?"
I suddenly felt my scalp tingle, and the cold sweat on my back was straight out, could it be that someone pretended to be me home last night?
Resisting the panic in my heart, I asked:
"Yes, Mom...... What time did I get home last night?"
My mom was a little anxious when I asked, and said:
"Son, what's wrong with you? You came back at eight o'clock last night, did something happen to you? I have something to tell my mother. ”
My hands were shaking and I almost dropped the phone on the floor.
I hurriedly said:
"I'm fine...... Mom, I just forgot...... Ha ha...... I'll be back in a minute......"
After saying that, I quickly hung up the phone.
I stood there and began to wonder who this person was, and why every time I came to investigate the affairs of Wanhu Village, he pretended to be me and went home.
You know, I didn't go home at all from yesterday morning until this morning!
I pinched the phone, sweat dripping down my forehead.
In the end, I decided to go home first.
The road during the day was much easier than at night, and soon I was running to the bus stop.
I held my phone nervously, and kept wondering if it was the little devil who did it?
I repeatedly didn't want to involve my family, but this person came to the door to warn me not to investigate any further.
After a whole night of tinkering and a mess in my head, I fell asleep as soon as I got in the car.
When I woke up, I found that there was still one stop left from home, so I got out of the car first, found a KFC bathroom, washed my face with cold water, and then wiped the dust and mud off my body.
There was a hole in the little girl's pants, but fortunately it was not very obvious, the only thing that surprised me was that now the wound had healed and scabbed over, and I didn't feel anything, and after it was tidied up, I walked back again.
The main reason for doing this is that I don't want my parents to see that there are traces of a fight on my body.
When I got home, my mom looked at me with a worried look and asked:
"Son, what's wrong with you today?"
I squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just that I went to play a game with my classmates, and I lost and was unhappy." ”
My mother reluctantly knocked me on the head a few times and criticized me by saying:
"You know how to play games and have a virtue with your father...... Okay, have you had breakfast? I'm going to make you something to eat. ”
I almost couldn't hold back my tears when I saw my mom love me so much, it's hard to imagine that they welcomed a fake son last night, and if that man had done something to them, they might not even have a chance to resist.
I went into the room and covered my head, and the hatred for the little devil in my heart deepened infinitely.
At this moment, my phone rang, needless to say, it must have been from the little devil.
He still had a smiling face.
Said:
"Everyone, have a good time around, many of them are very busy. ”
I felt that he was saying this to me, and I replied angrily directly in the group:
"If you have a fart, you will know how to play yin!"
Now I am probably the only one in the class who dares to talk to the little devil like this.
The little devil was not angry at all and continued:
"It's Sunday and there's going to be a new game. ”
"This game, I need the whole class to participate. ”
"Game content: All students must gather in the playground at twelve o'clock tonight, and then listen to my instructions and start looking for demon cards in the school, the number plate is limited, and the students who don't find it will be punished. ”
Since the whole class participated, it is estimated that various squads will be formed to compete with each other, this is the usual routine of the little devil, and everyone knows it.
I asked in the group:
"What is a demon card?"
The little devil sent a smiling face, and then sent a picture out.
I clicked on it to check, and it was about the same size as a poker, with a weird clown pattern painted on it, the color was dark and dark, and the painting style was a bit gothic.
Only then did someone in the class come out to discuss:
"Do you mean you're looking for this card at school?"
"What if I find more than a dozen copies, can I sell them?"
"That's right...... Little devil, how many have you put in the school, I'll go to the school to find it now. ”
"Is there a reward for collecting the most cards?"
The classmates in the class are finally normal this time, and the questions they ask are very important.
The little devil made a smiling expression and said:
"There is no limit to the number of demon cards that each person can collect, so it's up to you to decide what to do with it. ”
"The person who collects the most will be rewarded. ”
"The number of demon cards is lower than the size of your class. ”
