Chapter 25: The Illusion Reborn

Creation makes people not settle,

Turning over and over, upside down and vertical,

Seeing is as promised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

……

The fat man returned to the hotel, and it was past midnight.

Starting from the flatbread fritters and a bowl of soy milk for breakfast, the amount of information and the huge amount of exercise in this day have approached his limit. Pushing open the door, throwing off his stinky shoes, and not bothering to take a shower, he lay on the bed like a landslide, exhausted, and slept in his clothes.

Outside the window, the night is late, but it is not young.

In and outside the city, in the streets and alleys, in front of and behind the house, there are heart-eaters with heavy makeup, black-faced and red-eyed zombies, hippie-faced money-grubbers, unkempt smokers, gamblers who twist their eyebrows, drunkards who are drunk into mud, perverts who salivate and laugh, big ghosts and small ghosts, male ghosts and female ghosts, fierce ghosts, obsessed ghosts, ghosts and ghosts...... It's really a long sigh and a resentful meeting, and the yin wind gusts into a dream.

As the saying goes: I usually don't do bad things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Eliminate the greed and hatred in your heart, and it is difficult to invade all kinds of poisons.

Let him go around outside the window, busy and happy, but the fat man who has been rid of the demons in his heart snores loudly, unconsciously, and sleeps until dawn.

In the next two days, Ito and Yunnai closed the door most of the time, and they didn't know what the hell was going on, during which they went out a few times, and they didn't go back to the hotel for a few meals, and they didn't need to be accompanied and arranged by the fat man, which was very mysterious.

Moreover, during this period, three batches of individual customers came one after another, with a total of eight individual customers.

On the afternoon of the 26th, a group of people came first, three people, Omori, Buffalo, and Mosquito, who held Luzon and Siamese passports respectively. It seems that Omori and Ito have a more familiar relationship, often whispering, going out many times, and purchasing a lot of items and utensils.

On the 27th, another group came, Goatee and Hammer, both from Annam.

The last three did not arrive in Chunshan until the afternoon of the 28th, and they were all five big and three thick, all bald, square-faced, thin-eyed, and stubble, but they were big Tartar men.

In addition to the commonality of different nationalities and unknown origins, these people also have a similarity, that is, they are fluent in multiple languages such as Chinese and English, so the fat man has no difficulty communicating with them.

Even the hotel lobby manager who had seen the big scene couldn't help but look at the dead fat man who had become acquainted with him in the past two days with envy, half-covered his jade teeth, and Ying Ying said with a smile: "Director Yuan, you are really amazing, this is a tour group, it's a small United Nations!" ”

"That's it!" β€”β€”On the evening of the 28th, when the fat man was dressed in a rose-red sunset, proud, waving a yellow guide flag, and leading the small United Nations tour group to set off, his heart was indeed extremely excited and difficult to calm down. He secretly pinched the carnelian rosary hidden in his neck through his clothes, and prayed silently in his heart: All the gods and bodhisattvas, Amen Amen! Bless my Yuan Fatzi this undercover success this time, the first battle victory, the victory, and the success, I wish everything safe and auspicious! Tashi Delek!

got on the green minibus driven by the yellow-skinned smoker Ding Buwei, and the "Yuan's welcome speech" has been taught before, which is nothing more than the set of flamboyant tongues that I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the big boss and all my colleagues.

Chunshan City is located about 300 kilometers northwest of Jiahe City, which belongs to the transition zone from the Wuling Mountains to the hilly hills. After that, it gradually enters the alluvial plain, crosses the boundary mountain, and the terrain is even more flat...... Three hours later, at 10:30 p.m., the group drilled through the blue-black and dense night like a cornfield and arrived at the Golden Harvest Jingyue Garden Hotel.

The next day, that is, on August 29th, when Yafu woke up from a hangover at the Asan Inn, Li Fangfei received his classmates and girlfriends, and we officials joined the Ghost Tale Magic Heart Brigade one after another, early in the morning, Ito and the others had already changed into uniform clothes and headed for Dragon Ball Island......

Wait a minute! Uniform clothing?

Yes, it was mentioned twice in the previous chapters that except for the fat man, Ito and others were uniformly dressed on the 29th: once in the "debut" of the mountain people, and once in the Golden Dragon Cave, all wearing peaked caps, a light blue cultural shirt, with a black tiger head printed on it, and a row of small characters, which are indistinguishable. Now, we can take a closer look through the fat man's mouse eyes, and the typography is-

Must be safe and full of biansecurity

Safety-security-security, what the hell is this? Uh, is it that Ito's 10 people, plus a chubby goalkeeper, exactly 11 people are on the field, is this pulling sponsors to participate in a football game?

Guess half right: Bi Bao Quan, is indeed the sponsor of this event, the full name of Chunshan Bi Bao Quan, by Haisheng Co., Ltd., Meilin Pavilion Group, Hongda Real Estate three corporate legal persons and a group of natural persons to invest in the composition, mainly engaged in and undertake security monitoring, security services, special escort and other businesses. Li Fangfei's father, Li Zhongming, is the chairman, his brother-in-law, Qiu Jiuru, the boss of Hongda Real Estate, is the deputy director and general manager, and Ito is the chief representative of the Japanese side.

Li Zhongming? Isn't that "Brother Ming"? How do you get involved with Ito? And that Qiu Jiuru, it seems that in 2000, he donated a "Millennium Dragon Ball" lamp ball and put it in the Golden Dragon Cave, right? How did he become Li Zhongming's brother-in-law? This character relationship, I don't distinguish between friend and foe, friend and foe, can you help me masturbate?

I'm sorry, no, our store does not provide this kind of service, please understand! Regarding the relationship between Li Zhongming and Ito Hiroaki and Qiu Jiuru, it is a long story, and it is difficult to tell it all for a while, so it is better to pull out the cocoon and say it slowly in the next story, let's set up a foreshadowing here......

……

……

The clock continues to be set to the afternoon of August 29, and the scene cuts back to the beginning of Chapter 21, "A Little Strange", the parking lot of General Pier.

The fat man crawled out of the memories of the previous days. In the minibus, the smoker Ding Buwei was still asleep, and the electronic clock above his head showed 04:29. It seems that from a quarter past three to now, Ito's gang has been in for more than an hour...... Well? Isn't that right? I was stunned just now, but I just thought back to the incident of going to Chunshan to pick up the group two days ago, no matter how chaotic my thinking and slow reaction were, it wouldn't take an hour so long!

Suspicious, the fat man lifted the gold watch to take a look - before going out this morning, he specially listened to the time of the beautiful anchor and carefully checked the watch - now, the watch hands are exactly aligned at 4 o'clock! Obviously, the electronic clock on this car is half an hour faster, it can't be that Ding Buwei deliberately adjusted it faster, right?

As he was thinking about how to trick this grandson in his mind, he felt a tingling pain in his neck, and his naturally curly hair stood on end, like a round hedgehog. The fat man immediately covered his neck, and found that the string of ancient carnelian prayer beads was suddenly as cold and piercing as black iron for some reason. Fortunately, no one around him saw it, so he immediately pulled out the rosary as if he had fished out his face, but was surprised to find that the beads had become dark red and black, revealing a chill, and the strange symbols etched on them had all disappeared.

I only know that this ancient chalcedony bead can sense and dissolve the little witch's Miyun heart spell, shake it twice, you have it and I have it, but what is the situation with this chill and discoloration? Brother Ming didn't teach! Do you want to give me a Xibei goods, or maybe this rosary is also stunned by the hot weather? No, I'll have to ask.

The phone has been changed to silent state, quickly bring up the privacy safe, open the address book, uh - stone dock, text:

"Convenient communication? Emergency!! ”

As soon as the text message was sent, I received a reply almost at the same time, one word - "speak"

The fat man's hands flew and he continued to send a message: "My rosary suddenly turned black and cold, and the symbols on it disappeared, but it didn't tremble, what's the matter?" ”

The reply was just as fast as "When?" ”

"Just now, four o'clock."

This time, I didn't receive a reply immediately, and after waiting for a long time, the phone screen was automatically turned off, but the message just now was like a mud cow into the sea, without any response, so anxious that the fat man scratched his ears and cheeks, and was at a loss. Just when he was about to lose his patience and was about to make a direct call, the screen lit up, and Brother Ming replied! I saw a few lines on it, silent, but incomprehensible:

"The gates of hell have been opened, and the Seven Star Coffin is nearby! Once the Ancient Spirit Forbidden Land is unsealed, a catastrophe will surely come! At eight o'clock tonight, you text me on time! It will be burned immediately after reading. ”

The fat man silently recited the first few words, like a prayer wheel, and his mind swirled with four words:

Gates of Hell? Seven-star coffin? Ancient Spirit Forbidden Land? A catastrophe?

Come on! Brother Ming, are you scaring the little kid? Don't fool me, which line of a magic blockbuster is this?

Looking at the carnelian rosary in his hand again, it seems that the drug addict has passed the medicine and gradually returned to normal. He shook his head, put the rosary back on, and lifted his collar again to keep it from being seen. In another hour, the general's door will be closed, and Ito and the others should also come out, and the next step is to arrange dinner and accommodation, and then secretly meet with Brother Ming...... While thinking, he raised his head and looked at the front of the car, but his fat face stiffened and the chrysanthemum tightened, because what caught the eyes of the rat was a very strange scene:

I saw Ding Buwei, who was still asleep just now, yes, it was Ding Buwei, the old smoker, the yellow-skinned and balding driver, and the honorary director of the United Nations Permanent Wild Animal Protection Association in Chunshan Area, suddenly a spirit, snorted twice, and woke up. It is said that there is nothing strange about this, but Ding Buwei clicked and twisted the sallow head twice, trembled his arms, staggered to his feet, and curled up his hands like withered old branches, and let out a strange cry from his mouth!

is a good living person, why did he suddenly fall into evil and turn into an old tree spirit?

I saw Ding Buwei suddenly stop shaking, turned his head suddenly, squeezed out twisted folds all over his face, and said bitterly: "Oh no! My stomach is upset, I'll go to the toilet ......" Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly opened the door on the driver's side, slipped out with a thud, slapped the door with his backhand, and trotted towards the smelly toilet with his stomach covered.

Alas! You don't need to fight so much if you have an upset stomach, right? Are you acting in a ghost movie or dancing a god? I knew that my belly was suffering now, and I couldn't eat less at noon? The plate of fried pork slices with green peppers, and the bowl of braised pork with louver rolls, I saw that your kid was flying with chopsticks to pick meat to eat, and the green peppers and shutter rolls were not touched. This is really the emperor's eyes, retribution is unpleasant, who do you not pull?

The fat man was gloating and scolding secretly, who knew that "a wave has not settled, and a wave has risen", he followed the direction of Ding Buwei's run, and suddenly saw an even more incredible scene:

I saw that the toilet that had just made everyone babble and scold endlessly, and the smelly toilet suddenly became in a trance, and it was actually distorted and deformed, looking like a loess bag with grass and grass, and behind it, the wind and clouds suddenly changed and the black fog rose...... What is it?

When I looked closely, it was overwhelming, buzzing out of a large group of strange insects, shaking bright wings, with bloody fangs, rushing towards this side!

Scalp fried! What's going on?

The sudden change outside the car is overwhelming, and the heart is full of panic with a capital letter.

The fat man instinctively jumped up, slapped his fat palm on the window glass, and shouted loudly - "Ding Buwei! Dangerous~! ”

It's a pity that the kid couldn't hear it at all, because he was already screaming, surrounded by that group of strange insects, and in an instant, he was gnawed into a white skeleton with blurred flesh and blood!

This kind of terrifying scene has only been seen in movies! And now, it's really happening right in front of you!

After the strange insect gnawed the white bones on the ground, it continued to circle, like a huge swarm of bees, and rushed towards the fat man again! Although the minibus was heavy, it still kept shaking under the violent impact.

Countless strange insects crashed into the car window glass one after another, headlessly, and rattled. Some of the ones that collided were unstable and fell to the ground one after another, densely packed and piled up a thick layer; Others clinged to the gaps between doors and windows with hook-like toes, waged their heads and tails, and danced their teeth and claws, frantically trying to rush in.

With the continuous rapid impact, the window panes seemed to be hit by hailstones, and cracks of different sizes gradually appeared. The fat man wiped the buttery sweat from his face, and tried to hold on to the back of the seat to stabilize his body and his frightened mind. But I saw that this strange insect was not small, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, the size of an adult's palm; The whole body is covered with short black and hard hairs like thorns, and three pairs of sharp claws like steel bars are born under the chest; On the back, there are a pair of black carapace elytra, with several yellow spots on them, resembling a skeletal ghost face, and a pair of silver inner wings hidden inside; The round head has a pair of blood-red strange eyes like convex mirrors, and four or five pairs of serrated chelica of various sizes are exposed in front of the mouth, which resemble sharp iron tongs.

Could it be this! This! It's a ghould-eating sandcap! (Considerate phonetics: θ₯, mΓ‘o)

Why is this terrible monster here?

When he was panicking, I don't know which hateful short-lived ghost just now actually forgot to lock the window at the back of the car, leaving a thin slit. Two strange insects had already squeaked and followed their tracks, ripped open the glass, and struggled to squeeze in; More insects heard the cry and climbed and swarmed towards the back of the car.

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll!" The fat man rushed to the back with a belly full of oil and water, howled all the way to the back, flew out, pressed against the window pane, and bit his teeth again, pressed hard, and with a "plop", the head of the strange insect was crushed together, and immediately rushed out a few yellow-green slimes, splashing everywhere.

Who knew that this mucus was acidic! Hitting the seat and floor, it corroded many holes like strong acid, and emitted several puffs of green smoke and a pungent smell. The poor fat man also splashed a small drop at the base of his thigh, and immediately burned a hole, and the skin opened and the flesh broke and the pain entered the bone marrow, and he couldn't help screaming.

What's worse is that the window pane that had just broken the head of the insect was also ablated into a fist-sized gap, just like the crowded ticket window of the old train station - more strange insects scrambled to one place, staring at the blood-red strange eyes, sticking out their chelica teeth, all wanting to grab a bite of the fat man's fat pork belly to taste.

Looking at this scene, the fat man's eyes gradually became dull, he staggered back a few steps, leaned on the back of the seat and bent down, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's over now!" I didn't expect that your family's eight-sided majesty and great military achievements, the famous man of his life, will be ruined today! In this little general's mound, he died unjustly under the mouths of you despicable, dirty, tasteless, and obscene sand cantharids! Alas...... It's bitter~! Poor to the end, still alone, single, slow to talk about flower girls, big sisters, even the hands of old witches and old goblins, I have never touched and kissed them! Alas...... The immortal Bodhisattva Hallelujah, the uncle and the second uncle, his father and mother, did not give birth to a son and a half daughter and leave an incense for our old Yuan family...... The child is not filial, so he just left! ”

Before he died, he still did not forget to run the train with his mouth full, still remembering the great mission of passing on the ancestry. The sand cantharids outside the car are not the main ones who eat fasting and chant Buddha, they have already squeezed open holes and fished in like the zombie pickpocketing train in "Train to Busan".

Seeing this, the fat man closed his mouse eyes with grief and indignation, and squeezed his eyelids vigorously, but unfortunately, he didn't squeeze out half a teardrop.

The audience shouted: This acting is too inferior! Refund and refund!

What kind of ticket to refund? Although the fat man failed to squeeze out his tears quickly and effectively, he was also acting with his life; Compared with who is inside, sucking mustard, ordering cans of eye drops, naked substitutes for martial arts and cheating, at least he has a sincerity, isn't it?

Here there are cranky thoughts and nonsense, and the ancient carnelian in his neck is restless again, and suddenly turns on the quick-freezing mode again, arousing a circle of cold goosebumps - the fat man opened his eyes in pain, and was surprised to find that there was silence all around.

Well? Silence?

Yes, there was silence - corpse-eating sandtharids, bloody white skeletons, grassy loess bags, all those horrific sights just now.

On a second look, the windows at the rear of the car are flat and well-opened, and there are no holes in the seats and floors that have been corroded by strong acid. Bow your head and touch your thighs, no pain or itching, safe and sound! Looking back at the outside of the car, Ding Buwei's kid had already pinched his nose with his head shut, tiptoed into the toilet, and startled a cloud of dozing flies......

Holding the cold rosary around his neck through his clothes, the fat man sighed, is it another illusion this time? I don't take drugs, I don't smoke, I don't drink heavily, and I don't go crazy, so why do I always have hallucinations for no reason? Moreover, that corpse-eating cantharid, I have never seen this thing before, how can it be automatically generated in my mind, with a nose and a mouth, as if I have seen it with my own eyes? Besides, why did the ancient chalcedony rosary become cold again?

However, it's okay to be okay, it's okay to be okay. The fat man was still a little unbelieving at first, and then reached out to touch the root of his thigh, which was burned out of a hole just now, the skin was open, and the pain was unbearable, but now it is fine. So after staying for a while, he finally accepted the reality. After all, the reality of peace and stability, just like the cat waiting for the guests to come back in the air-conditioned car, there is no, even if it is a little bland, even boring, tasteless and boring, but it is better than the day of licking blood from the knife edge and being frightened.

Didn't anyone say that - if you're not afraid of boredom, you're afraid of dying!

……

The hourglass of time flows silently.

As soon as the car door rang, Ding Buwei was full of puffs, didn't get into the car, picked up the tea cup in the door slot, stood in the sun and poured a happy heart. He looked inside the car, the fat man was relaxing and sitting in a corner, holding his mobile phone to play games, so he didn't bother, quietly took out a cigarette, and stood outside the car to smoke.

About four or five cigarettes, I saw Ito and his gang from a distance, big bags and small bags, threes and threes and twos and twos, and I seemed to hear Ito and Omori laughing along the way, looking very happy and excited. Ding Buwei hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt, rushed into the driver's seat, and pressed the automatic door with a "beep"; When the fat man heard the sound, he also turned off the game, picked up his mobile phone, wiped off his relaxed face, replaced it with a courteous smile, and invited everyone to take their seats.

How do you say it - a thousand people, a thousand faces, a hundred people? Now it seems that Ito's ten people have a hundred demeanors. Because almost everyone's expression is changeable, don't believe it:

First of all, Ito, who changed his previous coldness like cutting rocks, laughed and got into the car, sat down, but immediately put away his laughter, solemnly put his backpack lightly on the seat next to him, coughed dryly in his throat, and was silent.

Behind him, Omori, dragged his tongue like a wolf dog and followed the car, and when he saw Ito laughing, he also laughed with him, and kept giving his thumbs up; Later, when he saw that the other party stopped laughing, he was stunned at first, jumped twice with a face full of horizontal meat, and pursed his mouth silently; But when he turned around, he saw Yun Nai walking into the car with his head down, and he got up in a hurry, nodding and giving up his seat.

Yun Nai didn't look at it, she was still wearing sunglasses, and her baby's fat face seemed to have two tear stains, I don't know what made her sad and cry silently? Once seated, she turned out of the car and bit her pale red lip thoughtfully as the setting sun shone on the rows of tall maple groves by the parking lot.

Strangely, for the next minute or two, none of the remaining seven people got into the car. The fat man walked curiously to the door of the car, and wanted to greet them, but he saw three Tatars gathered on one side, muttering words that no one could understand, and the goatee and hammer were still hurrying to swallow the clouds and spitting fog, and were reluctant to throw away the half of the cigarette butt; The buffalo accompanied the mosquito half-squatting on the ground, sorting out the backpack while rinsing the red hair and face with mineral water.

Omori also noticed that no one was following the car, so he jumped up and yelled outside: "It's like a girl!" Hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up and get in the car! ”

Hearing this, the three Tatars did not dare to slack off, snorted, hunched their backs, shrank into the car door, and sat back in their old positions at the back of the car.

Goatee squinted and peeked at the situation in the car, and found that Omori was staring at him angrily, so he quickly extinguished the cigarette butt and patted the hammer's arm, meaning that we should hurry up and get into the car, otherwise we will suffer. The hammer also did the same thing, but in the opposite order, first extinguished the cigarette butt, and then peeked at the fierce and vicious Omori in the car, and hurriedly followed up and found the right place to sit down.

The last to get on the bus were buffaloes and mosquitoes. The mosquitoes washed their heads and faces, wiped them hastily with towels, and stepped into the car with their backpacks. I saw him frowning, with a bitter face, as weak as a woman; He was followed by a buffalo like a guard, always clenching his fists, with a long face, and he didn't forget to glare at Omori fiercely when he got into the car.

Why spend all this pen and ink to describe the demeanor and demeanor of these ten people? Because, our lovely dead fat man, who has just experienced a thrilling vision, a big grin but a delicate dead fat man, has already seen the clues with cold eyes - now, there is a taste of separation and opposition, like a bottle of overturned vinegar, faintly wafting away in this small United Nations-like special tour group.
