Chapter 42: The Great Tribulation Comes
Shen Ling closed the door and said, "Are you still worried about what happened just now?"
He Yan's cold and plain face lifted and looked at him sincerely, "Yes." I want to hear what is really in your heart. ”
After a pause, his eyes were a little clear, "There are so many things that have happened in this short night, and they are so fast that I am caught off guard." In fact, it's not just a square corner, even I think I'm calm, but now I'm also confused. At this moment, only you can make me believe and make me depend. ”
Shen Miao smiled gently, sat down beside her, and spat out a few words: "He didn't do it." ”
"He?" He subconsciously repeated, and immediately understood who "he" meant.
"Why? With such a similar picture, such a haunting whereabouts, such impeccable means, how can you be sure that it must not be him?"
There was a slight ripple in his sparkling blue eyes, and he suddenly said, "I couldn't save you in time at the Dongyi Altar last time, don't you blame me?"
He Yan'e frowned, but he didn't expect him to suddenly ask this question, and said, "...... No, no blame. You haven't told me why ......"
Shen Xuan interrupted, "Ever since you saw the real Zero Nine-Six by the altar, your mind about him has changed. You're haunted by this, and even though his presence means death and killing, you're still controlled by an indescribable emotion, and you even want to see this person here, don't you?"
He Yu only felt a bucket of snow water pouring down in front of him, and when he saw the sparkling eyes, he knew that he could not avoid it.
She sighed, lowered her head and said with emotion, "That's right." I do say goodbye to Zero Ninety-Six. I want to ask him why he saved me, is it because there is still a trace of kindness in his blood-stained heart? I want to talk with him all night like a friend, and ask him why he killed these people like Qi Yujun and Chi Fengbo, why did he provoke the Shangqing calamity again and again, and why did he keep holding on to the obsession in his heart? I want to know his name, look at his appearance, and ask him what kind of story is behind the deed?"
“......”
"I used to just want to catch him, defeat him, and bring him to justice, but now I don't think so. I think he's an emotional person, he breathes, he hurts, he laughs like we do. There has never been a person who I am so desperate to understand, and I am confident that the final truth will not disappoint as much as he does. ”
After saying these many words in one breath, he felt that the string in his heart was also released suddenly. She slowly turned her head and reached out to hold Shen Ling's hand, "I can't say this to others, but I know it, you can understand." ”
He was stunned for a long time, and his eyes showed a sparkling light, "Until today, I understand your intentions...... It is you. You're always like that, too. ”
Before He Yan understood what he meant, he held He Yan's hands back, "Actually, like you, I also want to see his true face of Lushan as soon as possible." It's just that the feeling I have about Zero Nine-Six is not quite the same as yours, but it is also not quite the same as those people who are giants. The truth will come out one day, won't it?"
He Yan nodded and said, "You're right, we'll wait." It's just that if this murder case is really committed by 096, we are in the same place as him, and how easy is it to be seamless after killing people? ”
Shen Ling sighed, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, "I'm afraid I can't." Zero Ninety-Six was much more difficult to deal with than we thought, and would never risk his life to fight us in such unfavorable terrain. The most important thing is that neither the dead nor Shang Yang received the ——— "All the brilliance in his eyes converged on one point," the deed of sin. ”
Although both Guo Ya and Shang Yang died by slitting their throats, how could there have been that small note on their sides and pillows, and that 096 habitual sin contract? This is the biggest flaw.
"Perhaps, they received it before and didn't know it, or maybe they received the deed of sin and accidentally damaged it?"
"Then I don't know. I'm just talking about one possibility, what the truth is, and we have to wait for the next move of the murderer in the shadows. ”
He Fei felt his fingers tremble slightly, and his muscles were faintly violent, as if he was excited to fight with an opponent of equal strength.
He asked tentatively, "Do you want to do anything?"
Because of the deaths of the two gods one after another, the guests of the box have long lost their mood as guests, and they are worried all day long, just hoping that Gagula's damned "Demon Pupil's Fear" will dissipate as soon as possible and leave this place of misfortune.
The most leisurely is still the temple owner, who entertains guests all day long chanting and worshipping the gods as usual, and also finds time to hand-copy the "Mantra of the Dead" for the two deceased. The white dove sent by the concubine finally had a reply, everyone was enjoying the feast on this day, the winged fire snake hurriedly rushed in and whispered a few words in the ear of the temple master, the temple master was stunned, and then changed to a respectful look, and immediately got up and walked in the direction of Dongzhai.
After a while, the master of the temple ushered in an old man who was drenched with a low-brimmed hat, and his robe was even more like rolling in the mud, and the stench was terrible.
Xinyue Fox took off his hat and wet clothes for the newcomer, and wiped the mud off his face for him. He Yan's eyes lit up, who is this Elder Utu of Shangqing?
I only heard the temple master recommend: "Rank the immortal family, this is the Utu elder of the Tu Ya clan of the Burmese Wu clan, and he was sent by the Shangqing Judicial God Juluo Jun to help capture the murderer." It should have arrived earlier, but it was only because of the recent wind and rain in the box that it was delayed until now. ”
Elder Utu stroked the white hair twisted into strands on his sideburns, and smiled innocently: "Everyone, little fairy Utu, give me a lot of advice, a lot of advice." He also seemed to notice Heyu's gaze, raised his palm slightly, and nodded at her.
Shen Ling thought thoughtfully: "Elder Utu is a real person, and if the giant spirit sends him, he may be able to come in handy." ”
Xu Heng asked, "Immortal, are you specifically dealing with killers?"
This question was so stupid that Utu scratched the back of his head and said, "Yes, not all right." I only got involved in those killers because I had something to do with them in the past. Hey ......"
The temple master said: "Elder Utu, Miss Heyu, and Shen Miao Immortal are old acquaintances, and I believe that they also know something about what happened in the mansion. After the elder rested for a while, the old man took the elder to the dormitory of Guo Ya and Shang Yang Immortal to investigate, so as to find out the real culprit as soon as possible. ”
Elder Utu pinched his chin and said in a deep voice, "No need. Since the temple master did not find clues from the dormitory, it is believed that the murderer would not have left clues in such details. The old immortals are dazzled, so don't do useless work. ”
He Yan smiled slightly and said, "The elder has a very thorough mind and has always had extraordinary insights. Since he didn't start from the traces left by the murderer, the elder must have calculated that the murderer would still appear. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yu Yin, Xuheng and others turned pale, as if a catastrophe was coming. Yu Yin trembled and proposed: "Why don't you all stay in this banquet hall together tonight, and everyone is watching, how can the murderer do it?"
Xuheng and the others hurriedly agreed, as if everyone could feel a little comfortable when they hugged each other.
Shen Miao smiled lightly: "Okay, that's it! If you meet the killer again, it's really scary." ”
He Fei didn't know what this person was thinking, but seeing the other party's smile and leisurely appearance, she remembered what he said last night, could it be ......
Elder Utu said, "What Miss Heyu said is exact. The murderer is targeting more than one person, and as expected, he will definitely show up. When the murderer appears, he may target anyone present, and the other party is in the dark, no matter how strong the immortal art is, it will be difficult to resist the murderer's unexpected attack. Let's stay together tonight, don't be alone, and don't move around easily. ”
Gu Jie said softly: "Could it be that the murderer is hiding in the mansion and listening to us......
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the cold swished into the cracks of the bones. Everyone felt their backs tighten, as if the murderer's terrible eyes were staring at everyone.
