Wu Xi didn't think about it anymore, she grabbed her mobile phone and dialed Xu Xing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She was still hesitant just now, after all, Xu Xing hadn't looked for her in the past few days, she didn't want to be the one who took the initiative, but now, strange things are coming one after another, and her little reserve in front of these things really seems insignificant.

"Hey, Xu Xing, no, Director, a lot of things have happened in the past few days, and I don't think I can handle it."

"Don't worry, tell me slowly one by one." Hearing Xu Xing's voice as calm as ever, Wu Xi suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

"However, the phone ran out of battery immediately, so I was still concise and to the point......

"You can say it to your face."

"In person?"

"I'm downstairs in your hotel."

Wu Xi jumped downstairs and saw Xu Xing getting down from the taxi, he was wearing a gray hooded windbreaker, and he looked even more tall and handsome.

"Director, why are you here?" In Wu Xi's eyes, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, and they turned into the farthest cold star in the sky.

"You used my talisman, and I knew something must have happened, so I flew over."

"I mean, the talismans don't do anything to protect you, they are meant to inform you. But," Wu Xi looked at Xu Xing as if he had suddenly reacted, "Didn't you say that with these paper talismans, you don't have to make a special trip?" ”

"Wu Xi, don't you have a lot of things to tell me?" A gust of wind blew and ruffled Xu Xing's hair, Wu Xi suddenly had an urge to help him sort out those naughty messy hair, but she finally suppressed this thought that even she herself was frightened, and gently put down the hand that had been raised.

"Walking along the road?" Xu Xing suggested.

"Okay."

At night, L City was shrouded in bright stars, much better than its gray face during the day, Wu Xi and Xu Xing walked along the deserted streets and chatted.

"You mean, apart from the weirdo who was scratched by Lu Wu when you were a child, another man appeared just now?"

"That's right."

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

"At that time, all the lights in the corridor were dark, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but I didn't feel anything special, just an ordinary person."

"Except for the appearance? Is there anything else about him that makes you feel special? ”

Wu Xi pondered for a while: "He makes me feel scared, but this fear is different from the horror when I meet a ghost, he gives me the feeling of being a deterrent, just like ......"

"Seems like what?"

"It's like I'm his prey."

Xu Xing's footsteps suddenly stopped: "Wu Xi, promise me, if you meet this person next time, you must stay as far away from him as possible." Wu Xi had never seen Xu Xing like this, and his tone was full of anger and sadness, which made her overwhelmed for a while.

"Xu Xing, do you know him?" Wu Xi asked cautiously. "He's the one who used the Soul Trapping Technique, isn't he?"

"You're smart."

"Then why did he ......?"

"Wu Xi, it's time to go back, it's late, remember to book two tickets back to your house after you go back."

"My family? Isn't that your home? "The second monk Wu Xizhang was puzzled.

"It's not City D, it's your hometown, where you first met the red coat."

Early the next morning, after reluctantly saying goodbye to Sister Yan Xiaohui, Wu Xi and Xu Xing got on the train back to their hometown. Wu Xi held his cheeks and looked at the scenery speeding by outside the window, recalling what Xu Xing said last night: The red coat is not a demon or a ghost, he is a monster composed of many powerful resentments, he must have been seriously injured after being stabbed by the horns of the Gu carving, and if he wants to recover, he must return to the place where his original god is, and his original god should be in the place where he first appeared, that is, her hometown. So if you want to completely destroy this monster, you have to take a look at her hometown. It's okay to go back, Wu Xi happens to have something to ask her father, she always feels that Wu Li'an has hidden something from her about the red coat, so this time she just went to ask clearly.

"Let's have something to eat." Xu Xing handed over a boxed lunch to Wu Xi.

"It smells so good."

"You are the only one who can eat the boxed lunch on the train with relish."

"Thanks for the compliment, by the way, Director, I've been thinking about a question, where did he get those missing children?"

"Wu Xi, have you found out? The bones of the adults he killed were all discarded by him at will, but none of the children's were found, so I think that the children have a special meaning to him, and their bones should be hidden by him in some hidden place. ”

"Where could it be?"

"Ten years ago, there was a big case in your hometown, but because it was too cruel and the murderer has not been caught so far, it was suppressed by the relevant departments and not made public."

Rotate...... Wooden horse. ”

"Yes, during the demolition of an old park, workers found the skulls of seven or eight children buried next to the merry-go-round in the playground, and these skulls, identified by DNA, were the same children who disappeared a few years ago."

"It's strange, when I took Xiaohui to the park to play yesterday, I didn't find the soul of a child."

"He's cunning, he knows that what he's done before has been discovered, so he won't repeat it, and the bones must have been hidden by him somewhere else."

"I know," Wu Xi patted his head, "he buried them in the orchard on the mountain, and on the bus back from the interview that day, Xiaohui and I dreamed of those little children, it must be like this." Hey, why am I so stupid, I just figured it out now. However, there are so many orchards on the mountain, how do we know which orchard it is? ”

"We don't need to know."

"Not really? Why? ”

"Sometimes it's better not to know the truth."

"Xu Xing, I don't understand."

"In your hometown, after the bones of those children were found, the mother of one child chose to commit suicide, a few others were irritated and had mental problems, and several couples divorced. Therefore, it is better not to tell them the truth, at least they can still have a glimmer of hope. ”

Wu Xi was silent for a full minute: "Xu Xing, I regret why I couldn't stab him to death at that time." Right...... I'm sorry," she looked at Xu Xing timidly, "Did I say the wrong thing again." ”

"He really deserves to die." Xu Xing looked out the window with a solemn expression and said thoughtfully.

"By the way, how did you know about the case in my hometown, didn't you say that it was not made public?"

"I know it's not surprising that I've been through so much over the years, I naturally have my own channels of information. Strangely enough, your father, by the nature of his work, could not have been unaware of this, but why did he never mention it to you? ”

Wu Xi slowly lowered his head, yes, Xu Xing was right, Wu Li'an had worked in the public security department for decades, and there was such a big thing at that time, how could he not know, not to mention, this matter was not unrelated to herself.

"Xu Xing," Wu Xi's voice was so small that he couldn't hear it, "You've investigated my background, right?" ”

"Yes." Xu Xing said bluntly.

"If one day, you really find something, don't hide it from me, you must tell me the truth, I would rather live in pain than be confused for the rest of my life."
