Chapter 95: The Magic Watch
Huang Pinwen returned to the bottom of the Jinshan Bridge, he didn't know where Zhao Sanye's men had thrown Murong Hong into the river, so he could only look for it along the river bank. He was even a little worried, this Murong Hong's body really sank into the river and was swept downstream again, right?
Fortunately, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the full moon is high in the sky, and coupled with the bridge lights projected from the bridge, Huang Pinwen finally found Murong Hong lying on the bank, wet and wet on the bank of a river.
Murong Hong was lying on the ground on the bank of the river, soaked and motionless.
"Why doesn't this guy have a stone on him? He didn't sink, why did he float ashore? Huang Pinwen walked to Murong Hong's "corpse" and squatted down to take a closer look.
Suddenly, he heard a noise on the bank of the river. He turned his head sideways, but saw the river rushing towards the shore one after another, and there was a crackling sound.
It turned out that today was the high tide on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the river water actually pushed Murong Hong's "corpse" onto the riverbank.
Huang Pinwen didn't care about anything else, but stretched out his finger to probe Murong Hong's nostrils, and there was no breath there. Touching his body again, it was cold and piercing, and he was finally relieved.
"Murong Hong, although you are dead, it stands to reason that I should not have done anything to your corpse. However, people just want to gouge out your eyeballs, and I have to be sorry for you after receiving money from others. Huang Pinwen turned Murong Hong's "corpse" over, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and was about to start.
Suddenly, he saw that on Murong Hong's right wrist, there was something reflecting the moonlight.
"What is this?" Huang Pinwen put down the dagger in his hand, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Murong Hong's right wrist.
It turned out that this thing reflecting the moonlight turned out to be a beautiful watch.
"Crown watches? This watch can be inlaid with diamonds, which is worth a lot of money? Huang Pinwen said to himself, his pupils dilated.
But at this moment, suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist.
"What? You won't even let go of the dead? This Murong Hong, who was already "dead", actually sat up and showed a terrifying smile towards Huang Pinwen.
"You, you're still alive?" Huang Pinwen was shocked.
"Of course, I'm not dead at all, sir!" Murong Hong grabbed Huang Pinwen's hand, "You are dead!" ”
Huang Pinwen wanted to pull his hand out, but he was dragged by the other party, and when he looked back, the dagger was still by his side.
Then he stretched out his other hand to pick up the dagger.
However, the other party also saw his movements and quickly stretched out his hand.
The two men grabbed the handle of the dagger almost simultaneously. Their four hands were so entangled that no one let go. At this time, both of them understood: if anyone lets go of their hands, it is equivalent to giving their lives to each other, and this is a contest that no one can afford to lose!
The full moon was peeking through the thin clouds, and the moonlight was shining directly on the dial of the watch.
Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out of the watch.
This light was so dazzling, even several times brighter than the moonlight in the sky.
Suddenly, I could only hear a crackling, and an inexplicable "lightning" hit the two people who were entangled. The two of them shouted almost at the same time, and were split by this magical "lightning".
The lightning flashed, and both of them fell heavily to the ground, and both fainted.
The light vanished, and silence fell again.
I don't know how long it took for the sound of car horns to sound on the bridge again.
Murong Hong was awakened by this sound, he slowly opened his eyes and shook his head.
He looked up and saw the full moon hanging in the air. This month, it seems to be so gentle, as if it is caring for everyone in this world, whether it is a good person or a bad person.
"Why does my head hurt so much?" He slowly stood up, only to find that there was still a pain in his head from being hit by something.
He raised his eyes again, and not far away, there was a great river, and the river was flowing incessantly.
When he looked again, there was a person lying on his stomach in front of him. The man was face down, but his hands were still trembling slightly.
Murong Hong was startled and stepped back, but he felt something on his waist, and it was cold and cold.
He pulled out a pistol!
"Pistols? I, how could I have this? Murong Hong was stunned.
The man lying on the ground also slowly raised his head when he heard the voice.
Murong Hong looked at the man, but when he saw it, he screamed in surprise.
The man looked up, and when he saw him, he screamed in fright.
It turned out that the man Murong Hong saw turned out to be himself!
Am I already dead? I'm a soul without ** now? In Murong Hong's mind, the scene of the fight with Huang Pinwen just now came to mind.
Just now, the two of them were fighting, but they were suddenly hit by a thunderbolt. Could it be that he has been electrocuted?
"You, you?" That "Murong Hong" also opened his mouth, "You, are you me?" ”
"What?" Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and was taken aback by this look.
What he was wearing was a set of black clothes and black pants, and his body had become much stronger, and his skin had become darker.
He reached out and touched his face, it was a little rough, this was not his Murong Hong's face!
Ah, no, I can touch my own face? So, I'm not dead, I'm not a ghost, I'm a big living person?
"You, who the hell are you? Why did you become what I am? That "Murong Hong" looked at the real Murong Hong in surprise and asked.
"I have to ask why you became like me? I am the real Murong Hong. You, are you the guy who is going to kill me? Murong Hong was stunned.
"Huh?" The guy was also stunned, "Could it be, could it be that I and you, we ??????? ”
"I see. The two of us, the two of us swapped bodies. Murong Hong finally said the doubt in his heart
"Huh? What the? Swap bodies? The guy who looked exactly like Murong Hong lowered his head and saw the watch on his wrist, "This, this is your watch?" ”
"Of course it's mine." Murong Hong stepped forward and ripped off the watch.
That "Murong Hong" wanted to grab it, but found that he had no strength in his body.
"What the hell is going on, and why is this happening?" That guy, the killer Huang Pinwen who had swapped bodies with Murong Hong, said in surprise, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"I see, it must be this watch." Murong Hong had already put the watch on his wrist, "It turns out that the story that Brother Hui told me at the beginning was not fake. ”
"Watches?" Huang Pinwen was stunned, "This, what does this have to do with watches?" ”
"Of course it matters, this watch is not an ordinary watch." Murong Hong said, "This was given to me by a friend of mine, and when he gave me the watch, he told me a story. However, at the time, neither I nor he took this story seriously, and we all thought it was just a strange story. But I didn't expect this, this story to be true. ”
"What's the story?"
"Do you want to hear it?" Murong Hong pursed his lips, "But aren't you here to kill me?" You ask you first, why am I 'dead', and you still want to give me a knife just now? ”
"That's what my employer meant, I'm just doing what I'm told." Huang Pinwen said, "He told me, whether you are dead or alive, you have to gouge out your eyeballs!" ”
"This guy is really vicious!"
"Tell me quickly, what is the story? What can we do to switch back into each other's bodies? Huang Pinwen also forgot to carry out his task and asked.
Of course, he can't complete his task anymore, the other party is now another him, if he kills the other party, isn't that equivalent to killing himself?
"Okay, then I'll sue you." Murong Hong told the story he heard from Brother Hui at the beginning.
This watch was bought from a stall by Brother Hui when he traveled to Switzerland.
When he saw this watch, Brother Hui was a little surprised. Why does such an expensive crown watch appear on a stall? He even suspected that it was a fake, but it didn't look like a fake, but a real watch.
The small stall owner who sold watches was only in his thirties, not very old, but he had a thick beard, like an old man. The strange thing is that when he knew that Brother Hui wanted to buy this watch, he said a lot of things and seemed very excited. Due to the language barrier, Brother Hui was a local tour guide who translated through Guò, so he understood the words of the small stall owner.
However, when the local female guide heard the words of the small stall owner, she stood there in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time.
"Eh, what did he say?" Brother Hui asked.
"He, he said this watch, you can buy this watch, but you have to listen to him tell a story first, a very, very scary story." The tour guide stammered.
"The story? What's the story? ”
"He said, he said that none of the owners of the watch lived past the age of thirty." The female guide turned her face with a look of horror, "He said, this, this is a cursed watch, if you are under the age of thirty, he advises you not to buy it." Even if you buy it, don't sell it to or give it to anyone under the age of thirty. ”
Then, the female guide told the story told by the stall owner.
This watch was handmade by the late Andrew, a famous watchmaker in Switzerland. Once it was produced, it was, like any other crown watch, lying quietly in a watch shop, waiting for its first owner.
The first buyer was a young local entrepreneur. However, it didn't take long for this man to inexplicably get sick and die, and when he died, the man was just twenty-nine years old. The watch, like his business, became the property of his wife, who was in her thirties.
The entrepreneur's wife soon remarried, finding a man a few years younger than her original husband, just like the last marriage, it was another sibling relationship. It didn't take long for the young husband to put the watch on his wrist and swagger around.
However, the good times did not last long, and after a drinking party, the man got drunk and was hit by a car and died. He was not yet thirty years old when he died.
Even more bizarre things are still to come, the watch later fell into the hands of a woman named Charlotte, and this woman is a psychic medium, a psychic who helps the living talk to the dead.
When Charlotte first saw the watch, she was so excited that she felt like she had found a treasure.
She told people that this watch must have been spelled by some master, and if it wasn't someone with mana, she couldn't have this watch. Otherwise, that guy will definitely not live to be thirty years old. And she's a medium, and only she can get the watch.
However, everyone who heard this thought that this woman was afraid that someone else would take away this expensive watch, so she made up such a lie.
After that, this psychic woman went so far as to use the watch as a special tool in her psychic rituals.
On the night of the full moon, she wears the watch and presides over the channeling ceremony. It is said that she claimed that the watch could inject the power of the full moon into her body, allowing her to exchange bodies with those spirits. Those spirits attached to her can often say things that are not known to others. In this way, the families of the deceased who paid a high price to invite her to summon spirits were even more convinced: Charlotte could really summon spirits, otherwise, she would not have been able to tell the story. And, when she spoke, the voice, the tone was exactly the same as that of a revenant.
But in the end, Charlotte died unexpectedly on a full moon night.
On that day, there were only two days left before her thirtieth birthday??????
