Chapter 61: The Superfluous
We left the village and headed west, and I walked ahead with Ink.
"Ink, the direction in which the immortals are chasing, whose smell is it?"
Shui Mo said, "It's kind of like your taste." β
"Du Qingchen?" I asked, "If you don't come back to us, how long do you expect to catch up with him?" β
"It's hard to say, we are also looking for the smell, if he keeps running at that speed, it will be difficult for us to catch up, if he suddenly stops......" Shui Mo thought for a moment, "an hour." β
I whispered, "So, he's already able to summon the phase......"
Du Qingchen was able to make Xiao Fan and Ink keep chasing, and they were not sure that they could catch up with him, and then look at themselves, now it is difficult to even say a word to the evil stone in their body, and they can't help but be frustrated.
Ink patted me, "Xiaobai, this kind of thing is urgent, it needs time, talent, understanding, and your fate with it." The things I just mentioned, but if you can have one, then this can be done, I think, you should be the kind of big thing that takes shape late. β
I looked at the ink, "You know what? After hearing you, I panicked even more...... Hey, do you think Du Qingchen is deliberately splitting you apart? β
"It's because we thought of this that the immortals asked Brother Huo to come back to protect you, and asked me to come back and take you away."
I said, "No." β
"What's not?" Shui Mo looked at me, and for a moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something, "What do you mean?" β
I nodded, "I'm worried that he wants to break you apart and then disadvantage the immortals." β
"Then the goal of the dog day is to go to the immortals? Would he be so self-conscious? β
"Don't forget the current physical condition of the immortals." I said, "In my opinion, don't follow us, our team is all disabled, and it's too slow." If you chase it now, you can still catch up with the immortals, maybe you can help something. β
"Without me, do you know how to get around? Besides, that's just your speculation just now, what if Du Sun's target is really you? If after I leave, you have three long and two short, how can I follow the immortal to explain? β
"He doesn't need an explanation from you!" I said urgently.
"yes, he'll just take my head!" Shui Mo had a bitter face, "Xiaobai, you should pity me, whatever the immortal tells us to do, what he said will definitely not be wrong." β
I looked at the ink and said in my heart, how familiar this is.
I said, "Puppy legs, you're welcome to join." β
Shui Mo pouted, "Whatever you say, in short, let's come as originally planned and meet with the immortals as soon as possible." β
I looked back at the three people, Brother Huo and Bai Ye helped the housekeeper to follow behind, and we basically had to stop and wait for them after walking for a while, "Ink, what is the origin of this housekeeper?" β
"Why do you ask?" Ink looked back at the butler.
"Don't you think he's redundant? Why would Shangxian let such a person join? What didn't you PHS even hear? β
After returning from the Ten Thousand Souls Snow Mountain, I was thinking that everyone in the "Seven Sons" had his reason for being. Some are evil spirits that can come in handy at critical times, such as Ink and Huoge, and some are implicated, such as me, Bai Ye and the sΓ©ance, and the existence of only the housekeeper is very unreasonable.
At the end of the day, he's been doing some logistical work, but anyone can do something like this.
Shui Mo said, "When the immortals found me, the team had already been formed, and I was the last one to join, oh no, the last one was you." I didn't think about it that much at the time, and after getting along for a long time, it was natural to know who had a few brushes. But when I found out that the butler didn't even have a brush, I thought it was strange. I inquired with Bai Ye, but he said that he didn't know that they were all arranged by Shangxian, and I didn't dare to ask Shangxian directly. Shui Mo looked at me, "You have a good relationship with Shangxian, why don't you ask him the next time you see him?" β
"If you ask, it's a vain question, and the immortal will definitely say: If you want to know, ask yourself. When I asked him about Bai Er's mission before, he replied to me like this. β
"What is Second Master Bai's task?"
I spread my hands out, "I don't know until now." By the way, the next time I see Bai Er, you can help me ask about it. β
Shui Mo nodded, "That's all trivial, the key is this housekeeper...... It's not funny. β
"Perhaps, I already know who he is." I said.
"You know?" Shui Mo looked at me in surprise, "Who is he?" Relatives of the Shangxian family? Came in through the back door? β
I glanced at the ink, "We people either have special abilities, or we were implicated in that incident back then. The immortals will not bring idlers, if the housekeeper is not because of the former, then it must be the latter. β
"You mean, he had something to do with that?"
"It's more than that, if I'm not mistaken, he's one of Scar's gang."
"Who?" Ink came over.
"Xiao Tian." I said.
"Xiaotian?" Shui Mo pondered for a long time and asked, "Is that the one who followed He Xiuming?" Hey, wasn't he bitten to death by a snake? β
I asked, "Did you see his body?" β
Shui Mo shook his head, "Why do you think it's him?" β
"Do you remember the blue-eyed giant snake that captured Bai Er?" I said, "Shangxian said that the old scar and their spirit used to chase after they left, and Bai Ye also mentioned it when recalling He Xiu's narrative that it was a blue-eyed giant snake that chased He Xiu at that time. β
"I've heard about this, but wasn't that Xiao Tian bitten to death by the sΓ©ance to save He Xiu?" Shui Mo said suspiciously, "Even if you want to suspect that the housekeeper is that guy, you should also suspect that he is He Xiu." β
I sneered, "When he saw that giant snake in Tang Wangcheng, he was so frightened that his soul was gone, no wonder, the giant snake that killed him decades ago suddenly appeared in front of him again." Bai Ye said that there were only two people who escaped from the sΓ©ance alive back then, Lao Scar and He Xiu, but what if Xiao Tian, who was attacked by the sΓ©ance, did not die in the end? And what is the self-description of He Xiu in Bai Ye's mouth, but it is actually Xiaotian's self-statement? β
Shui Mo looked puzzled, "Xiaobai, what kind of brain circuit are you?" I'm all stunned by you. β
I stopped and turned to look at the butler, "Before yesterday, I had always suspected that he was He Xiu, and all indications also indicated that he was He Xiu, but yesterday afternoon, we got wet from playing with water, and then when he took off his clothes and was about to bake them dry, guess what I saw?" β
"Chest hair!" Ink blurted out.
I "tsk" him, and Ink nodded hurriedly, "You say, Inspector Holmes." β
"He has a deep scar on the back of his neck." I rolled up my sleeves, showed the ink the bite marks on my wrists, and said, "It's exactly the same as my one, it's a snake bite." β
Shui Mo looked at me in shock, "So the encounter between you and Bai Ye back then ......"
I nodded, "Eighty percent was made up by the old man again." "I suddenly felt a panic in my heart.
"Okay Xiaobai, don't roll your eyes, it's not been a day or two since you knew Bai Ye, you take the train in his mouth all year, you should get used to it." Shui Mo asked, "But why don't you suspect that the housekeeper is another person, I remember that Bai Ye said that it seems that two people were bitten to death at that time, right?" What's the other thing called? β
"Yellow Fang."
"Yes, yes, it's him, why don't you say that the housekeeper is him?" Ink asked.
"Verification failed." I said, "I put together the words of Shang Xian and Bai Ye about the narration of the year, overlapped it once, and then put aside the words they had all said, and then took out the rest of the words, and used Shang Xian's narrative as a reference to analyze Bai Ye's words, and then eliminated the yellow teeth." Shangxian said that two people ran away at that time, one of them was Lao Scar, and the other was He Xiu. But if Xiaotian does not belong to 'running away' but to 'not dying', then it is likely that there are three people who survived at that time. β
I turned my head and saw that Ink was looking at me with pity in his eyes at the moment.
I asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Little white...... You were really deceived by the old man of Bai Ye, and even had your own set of polygraph methods, but how can you be sure that Shangxian did not lie to you? β
I replied, "As long as he says it, it's true." β
At this time, Bai Ye and the others also followed, and I turned around with Shui Mo and continued to walk forward.
Shui Mo whispered, "Xiaobai, if he is really Xiaotian, then he can be regarded as half of your enemy." Shangxian and Bai Ye haven't told you, indicating that there must be something that has not been resolved, and I am afraid that you will be angry and kill him after you know it, so buddy estimates that this Xiaotian must have other value, you have to be stable, don't be impulsive. β
I agreed with Ink and nodded.
