The Fallen Chapter 6 The Dead Die Tragically
Tang Nan heard Old Man Zhongli mention Daniel Zhang's name and exclaimed.
"Do you know this person?" Zhongli asked.
Xiao Lei also waited for Tang Nan to answer. Tang Nan looked at Liang Jun who was drinking beer and playing with his mobile phone next to him, and said to Xiao Lei: "Liang Jun knows, and I have seen it." Daniel Zhang was a subordinate of Liang Jun's adoptive father. ”
"Can you help me find out where they went?" Xiao Lei asked Zhongli and Tang Nan at the same time. Donnan agreed.
"Oh? Zhongli also nodded, "I'll check it for you." ”
Then Zhongli thought of another thing: "Oh! I almost forgot. He now has a new name, not Gao Jaw. Every time he goes back and loses his memory, he gives himself a new name. Now his name is Marco. ”
Xiao Lei felt that this clue was very important, he thanked Zhongli and said, "Wait for me, I need to leave for a while." So he went out into the air, and went to London.
Liang Jun's magic was temporarily lifted, and now that Xiao Lei is gone, there is nothing to hide from him. Tang Nan sat across from Zhongli and didn't know what to do. He looked at Zhongli, and Zhongli looked at him. The silence in the room was awkward. Liang Jun suddenly said, "Boss, your beer is awesome." He toasted again.
Zhongli turned his head and smiled at Liang Jun: "I brewed it myself, and I only made 100 catties a day." Then he waved his hand at Tang Nan and said, "Do you want to have some white food? I also burned it myself." ”
Donnan shook his head. He had secretly drunk some liquor in the children's welfare home before, and he didn't think it tasted good.
As the clock left the back room, there was the sound of ping-pong, followed by the sound of glass shattering on the floor. Zhongli frowned slightly and looked back, his face changing a little.
"The new gig worker tidy up the warehouse. Hey, clumsy. After Zhongli finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and poured it down his throat. As he spoke, Xiao Lei's spirit returned. He told the old doppelganger in London a new clue, and now he was back inside Donnan.
Xiao Lei said: "I'm back. ”
Zhongli nodded and said, "I was about to ask you for something, but you are busy looking for a high jaw now, I don't know if it's appropriate." ”
Xiao Lei smiled slightly and spread out his hand: "You just say."
Zhongli said: "I was still troubled by this matter just now, and since you are here, I think maybe you can ......."
Zhongli was interrupted by the ringing of a doorbell, coming from the back door, in the kitchen next to the front hall. Zhongli didn't intend to pay attention to the doorbell, he paused and said, "I want to ask you to ......"
The doorbell rang again, and the sound was shrill and piercing.
"I'll go check it out first. Zhongli stood up as he spoke, walked to the door and turned around to say something more, but finally he didn't say anything, and went out of the outhouse door to the kitchen.
Liang Jun finally put down his phone, rubbed his eyes, picked up chopsticks and continued to eat fish. While eating, he asked, "You know the boss well?"
Tang Nan only smiled and did not speak.
At this time, the door of the warehouse in the inner room suddenly opened, and Tang Nan and Liang Jun looked over. It was from there that the sound of glass shattering came from there, and both of them wanted to know what was there. Then the door opened wider, and a huge black head slowly poked out and looked around. Tang Nan and Liang Jun watched, waiting for him to come out and speak. The big black head saw the grilled fish and beer on the table, stiffened its nose, and flashed into the room.
The man straightened up when he entered the house, and Tang Nan and Liang Jun were startled. The man looked to be less than forty years old, tall and mighty, two meters tall, with dark skin, and looked to weigh more than three hundred pounds.
The big black man walked in, looked at Liang Jun and then at Tang Nan, and finally at the grilled fish and beer on the table. He walked over and picked up a bottle of beer and poured it into his stomach. Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to like the smell very much.
He wiped his mouth and reached out to grab a fish from the baking dish, Liang Jun wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare to stand up for fear of the size of the big black man.
The big man held a fish in front of him with both hands and sniffed it carefully. Suddenly, he shoved the whole fish into his mouth, down to the bones, and chewed hard.
Bloody. The big black man grinned in pain, apparently the fish bones had pierced him. But the big black man insisted on continuing to chew, grinning while chewing, and he hummed and chirped in pain. Finally, he chewed up the fish and swallowed it. Then, he smiled at the two people who were seated, blood still dripping from the corners of their mouths. He raised two greasy slaps and patted them, expressing the joy in his heart and gratitude for the hospitality.
Liang Jun was blinded by Xiao Lei, he couldn't see the blood, but he was very surprised when he saw that the person could swallow the whole fish.
Xiao Lei looked interesting, so he pushed the rest of the fish in front of the big man, and spread out his hand to signal him to continue eating.
The big man laughed, endured the pain and stuffed the rest of the fish into his mouth and ate it. And it's the same method. He ate happily, but his mouth was bleeding a lot. When he had finished eating, he smiled at the two of them, and turned back to the warehouse in the back room.
After more than ten seconds, Liang Jun reacted and asked Tang Nan in a low voice: "What's the situation? Why did you eat all our fish?"
Don Nan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Tang Nan encountered many more strange things than Liang Jun today, and there were few things that he could explain. Inside, he asked Xiao Lei, "Who is this?"
Xiao Lei explained to Tang Nan, "He's a newcomer, and he's a degenerate like Zhongli. ”
"What is the Fallen?"
"A psyker who is disconnected from the spirit world. They have spiritual powers. Some come from the secular world, and some are born in the spiritual world. They were either punished for sins in the spirit world or were voluntarily banished from the spirit world. When they leave, the spirit world deprives them of their memories and psionic abilities before sending them to live in the mundane world. ”
"Are you a fallen?"
"Yes, but with a slight difference. You've seen some of my experiences, and just as you entered my memory, I had secretly escaped from the psionic world. I'm not so much a degenerate as I'm a fugitive. ”
"Did your pursuers break you to pieces?"
"Yes. And then there's you and the clones. ”
"Zhongli is also a fallen. So he's also erased from his memories and psionic abilities?"
"His memory is still there. In the past, in Zhongli's time, there was no spell to erase memories. So the fallen of Zhongli's generation were simply stripped of their spiritual powers and banished to your secular world. They have no support, they are lonely and miserable. Later they gathered and offered to help the new degenerates. They have built many sites to house newcomers, and this food stall is one of them. Back then, when I escaped from the spirit world, I hid in Zhongli first. The big man just now should be new, so his mind is empty. ”
The table was empty, and they waited for Zhongli to return. But I waited for a long time and didn't see him come back.
Liang Jun saw that he had nothing to eat, and he was tired of playing the game, so he asked, "Shall we go?"
Xiao Lei thought it was okay, so he asked and talked. He said to Liang Jun: "You wait here, I'll go settle the bill with the boss." ”
Donnan got up and went out to the antechamber. There are several tables there, which are for diners who don't want to sit on the side of the street. He walked through the antechamber to the kitchen.
The kitchen was quietly empty.
He walked in, went around the stove, and suddenly saw a man lying on the ground. He hurriedly approached and checked, and it was Zhongli lying on the ground.
The clock leaves the face contorted, the eyes bulging outward, the body stiff, motionless. Donnan reached out and sniffed. It's dead, and the cheeks are still warm.
