Chapter 127: The Death of Dias
A few minutes later, Cheng Wenqiu stood in the monitoring room and looked at Liu Ye's distant back, showing a smile.
"What are you going to do?" said a man sitting in a swivel chair with his back to him in the shadows behind him, "What's the point of telling him this?"
"It's better to follow the route I've chosen than to leave him running around alone. Cheng Wenqiu said, "Or do you have a better way to deal with it?"
"Wouldn't it be easier to just leave him here forever?"
"Haven't you thought about it?" Cheng Wenqiu tapped the table with his slender pale fingers, "Having a conflict with him here is likely to affect the progress of the research of the primordial stone carvings, and you and I can't afford that kind of responsibility." ”
"Is it just for this reason?" the man said, "If you just want to fool him away, you can reveal something that you don't need to reveal, such as Xin Yao's existence, so there's no need to tell him." Cheng Wenqiu, how are you going to explain to the above. ”
"Don't dictate my actions, you don't have that power. Cheng Wenqiu touched the pendant on his wrist, "What's more, no matter how much I play, you can't overdo it, are you right?"
Soon after Liu Ye walked out of the gate of Kangning Hospital, he found a small path and detoured back, he walked into a café opposite the hospital and chose a window seat to sit down.
Dias has not been found yet, and although he has already checked it, it is difficult to guarantee that Cheng Wenqiu has done some tracking methods on his body, and going back directly may bring danger to Shilan and Vanessa, and continuing to stay and observe is the best choice at present.
"Do you need something to drink, sir?" asked the waitress as she approached and asked enthusiastically.
"No thanks. Liu Ye said.
Why did Cheng Wenqiu show him the high-tech facilities built underground in Kangning Hospital, and why did he let him go so easily?
Is it really like Cheng Wenqiu said, for the sake of being a member of the 100 People Project in the past, to inform him of some information that can be "made public"?
No. Liu Ye shook his head.
I know that it is impossible to think about it with my toes, Cheng Wenqiu is not so kind, he is a madman, no matter how realistically he performs, he is a complete madman.
"Sir? Don't you really want to drink something? Our latte art shop is famous in the city. "The waitress is not relenting in her sales?" Seeing how tired you look, I recommend this one. ”
It seems that you can't get a quiet environment without ordering a drink.
"Okay? So be it. Liu Ye replied casually? His eyebrows have been aching faintly, and the magic of perception shielding has failed? He doesn't have the ability to cast it again.
The coffee was quickly delivered, and Liu Ye took a look? Is the latte art level of this shop really good? The white-brown leaves float quietly in the black ocean, like an isolated island, attracting all attention. For a moment, all attention was focused on this lifelike leaf? There's no time to focus on anything else.
"A blind eye? Don't see Tarzan. Cheng Wenqiu's words suddenly sounded in his mind.
I see.
When a person is allowed to see what he wants to see, his attention is focused on what may not be important, and he loses sight of what is really important.
Just like setting a blind spot in perspective, Cheng Wenqiu set a blind spot in his thinking.
There must still be something important hidden in the Ninth Ward.
"Ahem, ahem......" choked on coffee in his throat? With a shake of the hand, the cup spilled, and a lot of coffee spilled? Liu Ye hurriedly pulled out two pieces of paper to wipe it, but there was a sudden blur in front of him? The eyebrows hurt as if they were about to burst.
"You're in such a bad state right now, and you still want to think about me? Liu Ye? I'm getting more and more incomprehensible about you. "A man pulled out the chair across from him and sat down?" You're here worried about my safety, you don't have to, the great magician Dias isn't that vulnerable. ”
"Dias?" The blurred vision was sometimes focused and sometimes not, but Liu Ye still recognized the person in front of him, "Have they fulfilled the contract?"
"At least I've confirmed that they have the ability to fulfill the contract, and Lynn has given it to them. I don't have any qualifications to negotiate with them, after all, Lynn's situation couldn't be worse. Dias lowered his eyelids and said, "But if they are going to do anything to cause Lynn to have an accident, I will show them how cruel a man can be when he embarks on the path of revenge without any scruples." ”
"Have you prepared for the worst?" Liu Ye slowly sat up straight, holding his forehead, "Or do you already have divination about Lin's fate." ”
"I'm not going to do anything like that," replied Dias, "and if you know divination, maybe you'll understand why I didn't." ”
"Dias, I hope the next time we chat, we don't have to talk about such a heavy topic. ”
"Hehehe...... If there is a next time. Dias smiled.
Liu Ye knew that the face he saw now was not Dias's true face, and he didn't know that his real face was still smiling under that false face?
"Yes, I believe that day will come. ”
"Leaving me alone, I used some tricks to trick the guards who had been following me all along, and found something in the so-called Ninth Ward that might be of interest to you. Dias said.
"What will I be interested in?" Liu Ye rubbed his eyebrows, "What did you find?"
"Are you really okay?" said Dias, looking at him, "your face is horribly bad. ”
"I'm fine. ”
Dias frowned, Liu Ye's performance was very similar to the symptoms of excessive loss of life force that are common among soothsayers, but although this kind of magic is not a forbidden technique, most of it is a secret tradition, and he shouldn't be right.
"Oh well. In Ward 9, they were studying a group of so-called superpowers and conducting a series of bizarre experiments on them, and it seemed that they had been going on for a long time. Dias grabbed a playing card in the air, flipped it over and put it on the table. The guests at the surrounding tables suddenly fell silent and consciously walked to other places to sit down.
"Out of thousands of experimenters, they found twelve people with relatively strong abilities, but all of them seemed to be on the verge of getting out of control. So, after a high-level meeting half a year ago, the project was put on hold for the time being. ”
"Shelved for the time being?" Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, this was not the same as what he saw, and the superpower research was obviously still continuing.
"This is a photograph of the documents I saw in the archives. Dias reached out and stroked it gently, and three translucent A4 pieces of paper appeared on the table, "Look at the date of signing here, September 17, 2164, I don't need to lie to you." ”
"It was really half a year ago...... But ......" Liu Ye shook his head, "I don't suspect that you are lying to me. Dias, after you entered Corning Hospital, I followed along. I've been in the Ninth Ward where you went, but what I saw was different from what you learned. ”
"The difference?"
"I see that superpower research is still ongoing, and it has not been put on hold for the time being, as this document says. Liu Ye rubbed the tip of his nose with his fingers, there must be something hidden in this contradiction, but he couldn't think of any reasonable explanation for a while.
"Everything that is unreasonable must have a reasonable explanation. "I can find a way to sneak in again." ”
"No, it's too dangerous. Liu Ye said, "I don't have the physical strength to pick you up now, once something happens, you will fall into an isolated and helpless situation, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"It's just a group of ordinary people who don't know magic, how can something happen?" said Dias, "The constraints of the Magic Association are no longer important to me now. ”
"No, Dias, you don't know them......" As he spoke, Liu Ye suddenly paused, he turned his head and looked around, but he didn't find anything abnormal, just that the people queuing up in front of the counter to check out were much more abnormal.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Liu Ye bit his lip lightly, "Those people are much more dangerous than you think, they have no bottom line in doing things, and they can do anything." ”
"In the face of the absolute power of the magician, technology is just a child's toy...... Hmmm, that's ...... Lynn!" Dias paused, his eyes lit up and he stood up.
Liu Ye turned his head to look in the direction he was facing, his eye-catching long black hair wrapped around his emaciated shoulders, a woman stood at the intersection gracefully, her hair fluttered in the breeze, her smile was like a piece of chocolate melting in water, and her dark brown eyes seemed to have rum swirling.
Lin slowly walked in their direction, a beautiful picture, but Liu Ye always felt that something was weird.
Dias pressed his hands to the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly feeling the temperature from his palms, he had waited for this day for too long, and tears could not stop flowing.
"Lynn, it's really you!" she pushed the door open and walked in, and Dias met her and took her hand.
"It's me. Lynn smiled sweetly and threw herself into Dias's arms.
Liu Ye turned his head to look at the silent street, what a strange atmosphere, obviously it was such a warm moment, why did his heart always be as stuffy as pressing a stone.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning swept through Liu Ye's heart.
He understood! He understood what was wrong! It was too quiet, it was too quiet! He hadn't seen any more passers-by since Lynn appeared in their field of vision, there were no cars coming and going on the road, there was no constant flow of people in front of the gates of Corning Hospital, there were no other customers in the café they were in, and it seemed as if the three of them were the only ones left in the neighborhood at this moment!
"Ahh
Liu Ye looked back and saw that Dias's chest was pierced by Lin's hand, and the blood stained his shirt red, and it also soaked Lin's right hand.
Liu Ye's body couldn't help but tremble, and a cold breath jumped from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he couldn't tell whether it was anger or fear that filled his heart. His eyes gradually turned blue with ice crystals, and the temperature around him dropped to freezing.
"Ah!" The sharp pain in the center of the eyebrows hit, like ten thousand needles piercing the heart, Liu Ye slammed on the table with a miserable scream, and the pupils instantly returned to their original blackness.
Lynn ...... You...... Why ......" Blood couldn't stop flowing from the corners of Dias's mouth, and half of his hair gradually turned white like snow, "Why ......"
Lynn's face was cold, her eyes were blank, like a cold and merciless machine, and she slowly pulled her hand out of Dias's chest.
"Lynn ......" Dias fell to his knees weakly with weak legs, his heart was torn apart, which was a fatal wound for ordinary people and magicians, and he was able to survive until now because of an unwilling belief, "Why...... For...... What ......"
"Dias! She's not Lin! You sober up! Bang!" Liu Ye slammed his fist on the table, he hated his powerlessness, his headache was splitting, his eyes were blurry, and he couldn't even stand up now.
Dias lay on the ground and didn't move, "Lin" walked towards Liu Ye with his corpse expressionlessly, and stepped on Dias's arm, making a "click" sound, but she didn't even look down, and the blood fell on the floor of the café drop by drop along the fingertips of her right hand.
"Answer, answer, answer......" was like the roar of a death knell, knocking on Liu Ye's heart one by one.
"Damn!" Liu Ye took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and sat up, his hands crossed and folded in front of his chest, aiming in the direction of "Lin".
"Break!" Liu Ye snorted, a blood oozed from the sockets of both eyes, the cold wind suddenly rose, and "Lin's" body was covered with a thick layer of ice crystals in an instant, and his movements were suddenly much slower.
He exhaled deeply, put his head in his hands, and slammed into the glass beside him.
"Whoa-" The floor-to-ceiling window shattered in response, and Liu Ye threw himself on the broken glass slag on the ground, endured the sharp pain between his eyebrows, and stood up with a roll.
"Smack. A hand was placed on Liu Ye's right shoulder, and before he could come back to his senses, an unimaginable force erupted from that slender hand, throwing his body hard, and slamming into the counter of the coffee shop, smashing out a deep humanoid depression, and countless plates and cups fell down with two coffee machines and a bubble machine.
Rust-smelling blood gushed out from his chest, and a blush flowed from the corner of Liu Ye's mouth.
The shoulder blade is shattered.
"Lin" stood against the light, her blood-dripping right hand hanging down at her side, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, behind her was a broken glass window, her emaciated shoulders supported her brown dress, and she looked down at Liu Ye who was lying between the broken plates and cups on the ground, her eyes were cold.
"That's ......" Liu Ye's eyes widened, and in "Lin's" eyes, he saw a tiny, dark red triangle like a fly.
"Retreat!" With a coquettish shout, a water dragon swept past Liu Ye and brutally pressed against "Lin's" lower abdomen, rushing her into the sky.
A cold, boneless hand touched Liu Ye's cheek, and a floral fragrance like a faint orchid hit.
"Shilan ......" Liu Ye's vision gradually blurred,
"Let's go. The aqua blue curtain of light rose, and the two disappeared in place.
