Chapter 225: Crocodile Tears
Gu Yun and Tang Shui came to the door of the villa again.
It was getting late, but the black-clothed security guards were still meticulously patrolling, and this time when they entered the door, Gu Yun observed more carefully than in the early morning.
In the picture frame on the TV cabinet in the living room is a photo of Miss Nanjia, who looks very young in the photo, as if she has just graduated, playfully gesturing scissor hands to the camera, smiling brightly.
This time, Tang Shui also saw the photo frame.
At that time, Miss Nanjia must have never imagined that a few years later, the Nanjia family would become such a field as it is now.
"Gu Yun, let me ask you something."
Before entering the security check, Tang Shui moved to Gu Yun's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you believe in the saying 'When a person is about to die, his words are also good'?" ”
"I don't believe it."
Gu Yun's answer did not hesitate for a moment.
The dying people he met in the past were crazy people who wanted to drag the whole world to be buried with him, so he wouldn't let his guard down on anyone who was dying.
"Got it."
The two passed the seven-fold strict review for the second time, and standing in front of the heavy bulletproof glass, Tang Shui straightened his clothes that had been licked messily by the wolf dog.
He swore that when he was done, he would definitely go and take a good hot bath.
Or give yourself a long vacation and go to the famous hot spring valley to relax for a while, anyway, the clues about Chengming are broken, and it will not be his turn to worry about the rest of the matter.
When they met for the second time, Qi Lian was sitting at the dining table, the table was full of dazzling delicacies, the food was mainly Western, Qi Lian had poured himself a glass of red wine, holding a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left hand, through the built-in sound transmission equipment, he could also hear the soft sound of the steak meat.
The contrast between the gentleman's manners and his fat body creates a wonderfully funny feeling.
"See you again, if it's not an extraordinary time, I will definitely invite you to share the food with me."
Qi Lian did not stop his movements.
"Still don't have to, I'm afraid few of the people who have had dinner with you in this house will make it out alive, right?"
Tang Shui said straight to the point, with the style of a reef killer, they must have managed to inform their employer of the news of the failure of the mission, and he and Gu Yun had been on the mountain for such a long time, Qi Lian must have been completely prepared.
Hearing this, Qi Lian didn't show too surprised expression, "Yes, twenty years is just a snap of a finger, and those things seem to be just yesterday...... You Carmen men told me that in twenty years someone would come to fulfill the second half of the agreement. ”
"No, he is here to fulfill the agreement, and I was introduced by Mr. Jin."
Gu Yun corrected Qi Lian's statement, in fact, in the morning, he wanted to ask the other party, "Are you really happy to lock yourself in here?" ”
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to stand this kind of prison-like life.
"You won't understand, these twenty years are too short for me."
Qi Lian sighed with emotion, and then said, "The housekeeper said that you have something to give to me?" ”
"It's just a jade pendant."
When he heard the word "jade pendant", the expression on Qi Lian's face finally changed, he let go of his hand like an electric shock, and the dinner fork and knife fell on the table, making a crisp sound of "bang".
"Bring it."
After a long time, Qi Lian gently pressed the button on the cane, and a gap appeared in the bulletproof glass, so small that he couldn't even reach his hand.
Tang Shui stepped forward and pushed the jade pendant through the gap to the other end of the glass.
Qi Lian clutched the jade pendant tightly, returned to the sofa in despair, and sat down on it as soon as he leaned back.
He held the jade pendant in both hands, covering his face.
"I didn't expect it...... She had been waiting for me. ”
Even the tone of his speech changed, Tang Shui was stunned for a while, and he clearly saw a few drops of crystal liquid flowing through Qi Lian's fingers and all the way to the ground.
Qi Lian's reaction after seeing the jade pendant was very different from what Tang Shui had imagined, and it was also completely different from the story that the old housekeeper had just told them.
In the story told by the housekeeper, Qi Lian is a man who is willing to use his wife as a tool in order to eliminate his competitors.
How could such a person show such an emotional side after seeing the relics of his deceased wife?
Could it be ......
Qi Lian has really repented over the years?
"That's right, she's waiting for you in the mountain cemetery right now, and you can reunite with her as soon as you get out of here."
Tang Shui took advantage of the situation and said, "Instead of staying in the cage all day in fear, it is better to see her for the last time with dignity, you must know that you can't escape all this forever." ”
"You heard this story from the butler, right?"
After a long silence, Qi Lian's tone also became hoarse and dry, "...... I don't know, did he tell you the truth about the accident? ”
Something wasn't quite right in the atmosphere.
The crystal liquid continued to flow on the ground, but Qi Lian's tone did not sound like a howl.
"I'll never forget what happened that night......"
When he moved his hands away, Gu Yun and Tang Shui were both shocked by what they saw.
Qi Lian's eyes widened, his face was hideous, his eyes were bloodshot, and his pupils seemed to reflect the hell karma—from beginning to end, he never left a single tear.
It was his saliva that flowed to the ground.
He took the entire jade pendant in his mouth, and saliva continued to flow down the gap between his lips.
"It's a pity that I almost got her forever, I should have broken her legs and bound her in chains when I knew it was so."
Together, it was the sound of wind breaking through the sky.
Gu Yun waved his arm, but found that the sneak attack on them turned out to be the old butler in the old age of the wind and candle, but this blow was not the strength of ordinary people at all, he frowned, and took two steps back, but the old butler did not back down at all, the palm against Gu Yun's right arm suddenly moved, and two fingers pointed directly at Gu Yun's eyebrows,
"Divine fire."
The pale flames turned into dark arrows, and they hit the barrier built by the spiritual power.
This blow caused countless cracks to appear on the barrier.
"Bang-"
At the same time, Gu Yun's swept out right leg against the old butler's lower abdomen, and the butler was kicked several meters away, but behind the hole in the abdomen was not flesh and viscera, but distorted pure white energy.
"And I've found a more reliable business partner."
Qi Lian was hoarse, and to this day, he clearly remembers every detail of what happened that night.
Naturally, the name of the sacrificial ritual is also included.
- "Séance".
"This time the opponent is different from the previous ones."
The old butler stood still, the hole in his abdomen had been repaired, and he looked directly at Gu Yun with his eyes, "I didn't expect that we would meet in such a way." ”
