The Fallen Chapter 5 The Eternal Man

Xiao Lei's heart was already much more relaxed. Since it wasn't Zhongli, it must be a high jaw.

Xiao Lei needs to contact the other clone immediately and urge him to act as soon as possible. He saw that Liang Jun next to him was playing a game again, and he was like an old monk entering a meditation. He lifted his blindfold and withdrew the spirit into the air. He travels to London, enters the old doppelganger, and asks about progress.

The doppelganger was in his study, frantically flipping through the phone book. Apparently he had not yet found the whereabouts of the tall jaw.

"Hell," said the clone, "no one in the company knows his whereabouts for such an important person." I've only been retired for seven or eight years, and now the secrecy system is so tight. ”

"I didn't expect it to go well," Xiao Lei said. ”

"Or is it because I'm retired that I don't have enough authority?"

Xiao Lei said: "Maybe he deliberately avoided me. ”

"Why?"

"That's exactly the answer I need you to help me find. If only he wanted to see me and take you with him. Xiao Lei thought of one more thing, "Do you know a man with only one arm? The severed arm also has a metal arm embedded in it, and there is a golden stone embedded in it, the size of an egg. ”

The clone shook his head, then continued to flip through the phone book and make a phone call.

Xiao Lei asked him not to be impatient and continue to help track down. After pacifying the doppelganger, he left him and returned to the sea. He was relieved to see the main body and the ultimate judgment, and they were still lying there quietly, undisturbed. Looking at the sea again, those people are still calling themselves in three shifts under the leadership of the "metal arm". He sighed, urged the spiritual energy, and pulled the spirit back to the sky above Beixing City again, entering the inside of Tangnan.

Liang Jun is still having fun, and everything is as usual.

Zhongli grilled the fish and brought it in. A dozen beers were also on the table. The three of them ate and drank together.

Xiao Lei hasn't eaten for more than 20 years, and every bite is chewed carefully and slowly.

Each of the three drank two and a half bottles. Liang Jun's eyebrows fluttered when he ate, and he began to actively participate in the chat. What he heard was still a processed conversation, bland but still unspeakable, so he talked to himself, praising Zhongli's cooking skills.

Tang Nan quietly listened to the conversation between Xiao Lei and Zhongli.

Xiao Lei said: "My doppelganger can't find Gao Jaw, his whereabouts are mysterious. It's not like his style. ”

Zhongli said: "Yes, his 'half-life company' is becoming more and more mysterious. But he came to me some time ago. ”

"What?" Xiao Lei put down his chopsticks, "what is he looking for you to do?"

"It's not looking for me," Old Man Zhongli continued, taking the beer in his hand, "It must have happened to come to me, maybe subconsciously still have an impression of my little shop." I don't know, anyway he's coming, but he doesn't know me anymore. ”

Xiao Lei sighed: "I almost forgot, he had amnesia." Does he look young or old now?"

"Very young. ”

Xiao Lei patted Tang Nan on the head: "No! No! Since he has amnesia, how can he still remember where I am hiding? How can he remember how to call me?" He shook his head again and said, "It's not him, it's not him." It wasn't he who sent to call me. But if it's not you, and it's not him, who would it be?"

Zhongli and Xiao Lei were silent.

At this time, Tang Nan said to Xiao Lei inside: "Who are you talking about? Why do I get more confused the more I listen?"

"Another person who knows where I'm hiding. Xiao Lei replied, and then showed Tang Nan some memories.

Gao Jaw is a secular person, he is not a psychic, and he has nothing to do with the spirit world. But there was a strange phenomenon in him. His body "backtracks" every 20 to 30 years, and the whole person returns to a youthful state of about twenty years old as if reading an archive. It is the power that borders on eternal life. There are always some strange things in the world that are unpredictable. When these things happen to someone, the high jaw will find them and gather them together. He founded a company - Half Life Company. No one knows how long Gao Jaw Shou lived, and no one knows how long the half-life company has existed. No one knows how big the company is and how many people there are.

But twenty-six years ago, Gao Jaw, who was in the process of backtracking, encountered an accident. That incident left him with no memory ever since. That's why Xiao Lei thinks that he shouldn't remember himself.

Xiao Lei said to Zhongli again: "He looks young, so he just 'backtracked'? It's been twenty-six years. ”

"It's a little more complicated than that," Zhongli said, "and the incident more than twenty years ago not only made him amnesia, but also affected his 'backtracking'. The time interval is gradually decreasing. In the past twenty years, he has gone back three times. 16 years, 7 years, 3 years. What's even stranger is that his amnesia attacks on every backtrack. Think about it, if you continue to accelerate like this, the next time it may be 1.5 years, then half a year, and you will lose your memory every time. Oh! No one knows what will happen in the end, and there is a good chance that he will end up facing death. ”

Xiao Lei wondered: "Could it be? He doesn't know how long he has lived, and he will die like this?"

"It's hard to say. If you think about it, the whole process of his 'backtracking' would have lasted all day. What would happen if the interval was shortened to the length of a day? Is it always in a state of confusion in retrospection, or is it going to die?"

Xiao Lei thought for a while and then gave up, this question was too difficult, and it had nothing to do with his current troubles. Perhaps, but there are too many gaps between cause and effect for any reason. On the contrary, Tang Nan thought that this person named Gao Jaw was very interesting, and kept thinking about this thing, young, amnesia, acceleration, immortality, death. Xiao Lei told him not to think about it anymore, that would disturb his train of thought. But Donnan just couldn't stop.

"I don't have time to think about anything else," Xiao Lei said to Zhongli again, "Tell me the details, he came twice, what did he say and do?"

Zhongli sighed, looked at Fang Liang, and rubbed his chin with his hand.

"Yes, twice. The first time was in the evening, and the second half of the night. He must have drunk too much elsewhere and seemed to have vomited. The whole person is dirty. He staggered to me and sat outside. He ordered some wine, but he didn't drink much before he got drunk. Then there was a guy who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill him. Zhongli raised his palm and gestured around his neck.

"That's not going to work. "Who is going to kill him?"

"Yes, it can't be successful. But I stopped it anyway. A bloody case will affect my business. I don't know the killer, but he probably doesn't know much about it, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to solve the problem with a knife. That would only make Gao Jaw head go back again, and it wouldn't kill him. ”

"That's probably what the killer was for. ”

"What?"

"Backtracking. ”

"Uh......hhh Maybe you're right, that killer wasn't there to kill, it was to make him amnesiac. If the head of the high jaw is killed, it will go back, and if it goes back, it will lose its memory. ”

Xiao Lei asked him to continue.

Zhongli said: "Then he took out a note from his pocket and asked me to send him to the address on the note. I did. ”

"Really?"

Zhongli stood up, took out a pen and paper from the bedside table, wrote down an address, and handed it to Xiao Lei. Xiao Lei looked at the arms in Tang Nan's arms, and then asked, "What about the second time?"

"The second time it was very lively. Gao Jaw and another group of people competed for a patient, just outside my shop. The patient was lying in the car dying. The two groups clashed over him. In the end, a few policemen calmed down the fight, and then took Gao Jaw Shou away. The head of those police officers seems to be called Daniel Zhang. ”

"Daniel Zhang!?" this time was Tang Nan's exclamation.

Zhongli looked at Tang Nan, and Xiao Lei was also surprised and puzzled.

The two of them were waiting for Donnan to continue.

Tang Nan turned his head to look at Liang Jun.
