Chapter 671: The Soothsayer
Inside the playground.
Li An and Hu Yuehai walked in the bustling crowd, and Hu Yuehai, who walked straight, had weak legs and was out of breath and did not find a clue.
Seeing that it was dark and the people and tourists in the playground had dispersed, Hu Yuehai dared to speak: "Mr. Li, I don't think there will be anything to gain today, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Ang Lee stood in front, his eyes fixed on a constellation shop in the corner of the playground.
"Mr. Hu, please read the information of the four missing people again."
"Huh? Good. ”
Hu Yuehai was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took out the file, glanced at it with the help of the light and said:
"Winston, ......"
"Just remember why they ran away from home or what happened before they disappeared."
Li An interrupted Hu Yuehai's words.
"Okay."
Hu Yuehai was slightly stunned again, and then looked for the key points in the file.
Four missing people, each of whom had been preceded by something more or less unpleasant.
For example, Winston drove a truck for more than 20 years without a single accident, only to be suddenly fired from the company the day before he disappeared.
Of the other three, one had cancer, one had a middle-aged son who had a miscarriage in a car accident, and one divorced his wife because of drug abuse.
"Mr. Hu, what do you say people will do when they are at a low point?" Ang Lee asked.
Hu Yuehai thought about it carefully, but shook his head again and said, "I don't know, maybe I might do something stupid." For example, if I'm in a slump, I'll get drunk. ”
"Escapism?" Li An looked back at Hu Yuehai.
Hu Yuehai nodded a little embarrassed.
Choosing to escape from reality, perhaps the choice of most people, is a sign of cowardice.
Li An didn't blame Hu Yuehai, his eyes fell on the astrological shop again, and then said: "Maybe they all need someone to guide them out of the maze." ”
Hu Yuehai nodded, completely agreeing with Li An's view, his eyes lit up in an instant, and he stared at the Xingzhan shop opposite and said, "Mr. Li, I understand what you mean, you mean that they have all been there?" ”
Li An nodded.
The four missing people live in four different neighborhoods, separated only by a playground.
The four of them are at a low point in their lives for various reasons, and they need someone to guide them.
When people are confused, divination becomes a common choice.
Ang Lee himself does not believe in the theory of fate, but he also opposes this knowledge, but feels that the study of fate is a mysterious force that cannot be understood by humans.
The astrological shop in front of me is the only fateful place in the playground, and it is possible that all four of them have entered it and disappeared.
To put it bluntly, this is the place that changed their fate.
"Whew."
A gloomy wind blew out of the horoscope shop.
Li An's eyebrows tightened, and he shouted in a low voice: "Mr. Hu, get out of here quickly, and go as far as possible!" ”
"Oh, good."
Hu Yuehai was not stupid, he immediately sensed the crisis, and turned around and ran away desperately.
As soon as Hu Yuehai moved, the lights of the people in the playground flashed two or three times in succession, and then they all went out, and suddenly fell into darkness.
A figure flashed out of the astrological shop, and the speed was extremely fast.
His target was not Ang Li, but Hu Yuehai, who had escaped, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Hu Yuehai and reached out to grab it.
He's fast, and Ang Lee is even faster than him.
With a "poof", a flying knife pierced the back of the person's heart, and his hand fell down as soon as he reached Hu Yuehai's shoulder.
Hu Yuehai was shocked, glanced back, and immediately recognized the other party's face, which was one of the four missing people.
The body is emaciated, and only a handful of bones are left because of drug abuse.
The astonishing speed must have changed since Winston's disappearance.
"Squeak!"
The sound of metal snapping was heard, and a huge figure in the darkness was seen walking with heavy steps.
Under the moonlight, he could be seen holding a steel pipe more than ten meters long and neck thick with both hands.
"Whew."
The steel pipe made a whistling sound and smashed towards Li An.
The third missing person, a man with cancer, was in a surge in strength.
God knows how many weirdos will appear here, Ang Lee didn't waste time on him, his body flashed to avoid the attack, and the streamer in his hand flashed away.
There was a "grunt" and the man's head rolled off his neck.
"Mr. Li, help!" A shout came.
Li An looked back and saw Hu Yuehai being sandwiched by a woman with messy hair and a dark face walking towards the Xingzhan store.
The fourth missing person, an aborted woman.
Her speed and strength are above ordinary, but they are not as good as the two who just died, but judging from her dark face, she should be able to use poison magic or something.
Li An's body flowed, and he walked lightly, and he blocked the door of the astrological store first.
Without giving the woman any chance to make a move, the streamer flashed, and cut off the opponent's head with a sword.
Li ...... Li ......"
Hu Yuehai looked at the headless corpse on the ground, and trembled in shock.
"Get out of here."
Li An gave an order, then ignored Hu Yuehai and entered the astrological shop alone.
The area of the astrological store is not large, only a dozen square meters, and there are various ornaments hanging inside, making it full of mystery.
In the middle of the shop is a black table with a crystal ball on it, which glows and illuminates the entire astrological shop.
The light blue light made the astrological shop a little more mysterious, and an old lady with a wrinkled face shrunk under the black robe, sitting behind the water planet, looking at Li Ang who broke in with a strange expression.
Soothsayer.
Needless to say, this guy is the guy who changed the four missing people and had Winston burn the middle of the mountain spirit newspaper to death.
For some reason, Ang Lee couldn't feel any breath from the old man.
If it's a dead person, it should also be dead.
But she didn't have it, as if she were a dummy, or she didn't exist in this world at all.
The more incomprehensible a person is, the more powerful he tends to be.
Ang Lee felt the pressure Qiang had never felt before.
Originally, I wanted to capture the other party alive and find out the truth of the problem, but now I only have one thought, kill the other party.
"Poof."
The streamer flashed, stabbing at the soothsayer like a meteor.
The other party sat there without the slightest movement, but the crystal ball placed on the table suddenly floated up and blocked in front of the tip of the sword.
"Dang" sound.
The tip of the sword touched the crystal ball, and the crystal ball exploded directly.
The pale blue fluorescence suddenly became blind, making it impossible to go back and open your eyes.
Li An was secretly frightened, and the streamer sword turned into an ordinary sword curtain in front of him, and at the same time retreated violently, retreating along the way he came to the door of the astrological shop.
Standing with his feet steady, the streamer sword protected on his chest, and his eyes staring at the astrological shop opposite, Ang Lee did not see anyone chasing.
Worst!
Li An secretly screamed badly, and rushed into the astrological shop again, only to find that the soothsayer was no longer there.
