Chapter 103: Burning the Candle!
The Mercedes-Benz that Xia Ren just mentioned was temporarily detained by the superintendent, in order to avoid follow-up troubles, Liu Xiuxiu called the logistics, and it was the bald man who came and picked them up in an SUV.
Huang Qiuyuan once again exerted his self-familiar temperament, and naturally followed Xia Ren and them into the car, and the latter did not stop him.
Normally, Xia Ren should be angry when he encounters such a government official whose life is not right, but I don't know why, maybe he has experienced such a change in his mentality of life and death, and he has begun to get used to it in the face of this situation.
And listening to the sheriff's description, two of the cases were taxi drivers, which were made by Shen Hua and Rootless Water, who had become a second-class infected, and even if the people at the police station dug through the ground, it was impossible to find the murderer.
"Then again, I didn't expect you to be a criminal investigation expert."
Liu Xiuxiu realized it afterwards and sighed in the car.
"It's not an easy name to come by."
Huang Qiuyuan twisted open the thermos cup, took a sip of cold Coke, and then said: "This is the name I obtained after handling thousands of cases, large and small, and all of them were successfully closed. β
"That's amazing!"
Although I don't know how powerful it is, Liu Xiuxiu is still amazed.
"I would venture to ask."
Xia Ren then really took the liberty of saying: "Thousands of your cases, didn't they all end with suicide? β
This sentence sounded sarcastic, but Huang Qiuyuan didn't care: "Suicide is the most perfect plan." β
"But what if the dead don't agree?" Xia Ren's sentence is a bit-for-tat.
Huang Qiuyuan closed the thermos cup, leaned back in the chair, and said with a smile on his face: "Living people have names, and once they die, they are all corpses, a pile of meat without any consciousness." No one asks the ground under their feet if it hurts, and no one asks a corpse the same question, so what does it matter? It's better than catching someone confessing their guilt. When I was very young, I thought how nice it would be to have a simpler life. In fact, as long as you don't think about the problems after your death, then life will be much easier. β
These words are tantamount to admitting in disguise that he deliberately committed suicide.
Xia Ren understood, but he didn't care, his purpose was just to test whether the other party knew about the infected.
Liu Xiuxiu looked unaware of it, it is estimated that his parents both work in the foundation, and they have been nurtured since childhood, and their three views are a little different from ordinary people.
"There's a taxi following us in the back."
Qin Yun said.
She is the most relaxed person now, and the only people who can see her are Xia Ren and Liu Xiuxiu with glasses, so she doesn't have to worry about so many problems.
Without waiting for Xia Ren to remind, the driver who was driving had already noticed it and easily threw the other party away, and Xia Ren didn't take this matter to heart.
When he arrived at the bank, he used Sima Gangdan's ID card to get a bank card, and transferred all the money in Qin Yun's account into it, and then took back the Mercedes-Benz car, Liu Xiuxiu asked the logistics department to leave, and he followed Xia Ren and them, intending to go home.
When passing by a large shopping mall, Liu Xiuxiu said that she wanted to go down to buy something, but she came back with a lot of daily necessities.
"You're not going back?" Xia Ren asked as he looked at the bags he had brought back.
Liu Xiuxiu said before that the purpose of his coming was to have no roots, just like a business trip, but now that the problem is solved, it stands to reason that he should go back.
"Fund ......"
Liu Xiuxiu was halfway through speaking, and saw Huang Qiuyuan on the side, and quickly changed her words: "I can't leave for the time being." β
In fact, he wanted to leave in the first place, after all, who wants to be neighbors with two infected? The danger was too great, but the Foundation denied his request to go back last night, turning him into a local resident tasked with dealing with what might happen in and around Jupiter.
This "maybe" statement is more general, Liu Xiuxiu is not a brainless person, he estimates that this is definitely related to Xia Ren.
In other words, the Foundation tied him to Xia Ren.
Xia Ren finally understood why his attitude towards himself had changed so much today.
In the future, he will be his "old king next door", and if he looks up and doesn't look down, he probably didn't expect it.
Huang Qiuyuan was just a hitchhiker, there was still some distance from the community, so he got out of the car, saying that he was going to go around the nearby park and bask in the sun.
Leaving Xia Ren and the three of them home, Liu Xiuxiu originally bought a bunch of vegetables and wanted to learn to cook by herself.
When he said this, he clenched his small fists and looked like he was swearing, but within half an hour, he still knocked on the door of Xia Ren's house.
"I'll learn from Sister Qin!"
He said with a hot face.
After eating, Xia Ren returned to the study, but not for the codeword.
He hasn't updated for three days, three days!
At first, there were many questions in the comment area, and then they all scolded the eunuchs and wasted their investment quotas.
Looking at these comments, Xia Ren felt very guilty.
Then he decisively turned off the computer, and the anxiety in his heart about the interruption suddenly disappeared.
The tragedy puppet has been unable to find a way to contain it, which is what he is most worried about at the moment, because this probably means that he will face an unexpected tragedy at any time, just like the last time he crashed into Zhu Youqian's truck, but how to make it recognize himself, Xia Ren still has no clue, and after playing with it in his hand for a while, he can only put it back on the shelf.
It is impossible to take out the old seal and touch it, and the disgusting feeling in the morning is still a little sick to my stomach when I think about it now.
This old seal was exchanged by him for his sister in the summer, autumn and winter, and then he had to find a way to hand it over to the other party.
The crowbar can be upgraded, but it only takes five hundred points, and anyway, there hasn't been a fight with the infected recently, so this aspect is not so urgent, so I put it aside.
He flipped through the system store and locked his gaze on an item.
Candlesticks.
Redemption requires 200 achievement points and an Ancient Dream Shard.
This is a new item unlocked by the increase in system fusion after he fought with the apostle Liu Fusheng, and he didn't care about it because there were no ancient dream fragments before.
After containing the rootless water, he was rewarded with a piece, and he was finally able to have a chance to understand what the ancient dream fragment was.
It takes so much effort to get an item that is certainly not simple.
γDo you want to redeem?γ γ
γYes!γ γ
Suddenly, a green candle appeared in his hand, about a foot long, the thickness of his index finger, smooth throughout, and a circular base underneath, except for the color that was a little weird, it looked no different from the ordinary candle bought outside.
[Note that after using the Dark Candle, there will be a chance to glimpse the appearance of the old gods in the ancient dream, and obtain controllable distortion, and the distortion ability is still different from god to god.]
Interruption of the Candle's burning will cause the host to emerge from the dream, please ensure that the surroundings are always quiet.
Note that premature death of the host can also lead to disengagement from the dream.
Do you burn candles? γ
Xia Ren didn't confirm it immediately, but went outside the house and told Qin Yun that unless the sky fell, he would never enter the house to disturb him, and he couldn't let anyone else disturb him, and then he returned to the study, and at the same time locked the door.
Placing the candle on the desk in front of him, Xia Ren rubbed his hands.
γConfirm!γ γ
"Whew!"
A miserable green flame burned from the top of the candle, and the light illuminated the room, and the atmosphere began to become a little terrifying.
Without the guidance of the system, Xia Ren's gaze moved uncontrollably to the candle flame, staring at the small flame.
Soon, the vision around him began to darken, and his mind began to drowsy, and sleepiness hit.
Darkness, descending.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao! Wake up! Wake up! β
Someone is pushing themselves, and it's so cold!
Xia Ren opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he seemed to be in the car, and turned his head to see that it was a woman in her thirties who was pushing herself.
"Great, I thought you froze to death!"
What do you say......
Xia Ren moved his ass and felt stiff all over.
It's more cold, it's cold!
"Where is this?"
He asked.
The woman frowned: "You can't remember?" We're in the Infinity Ice Field! β
