Chapter 364: The Picture Scroll is Like a Dream
I don't know how long it took, but the wind finally stopped, and the world in front of me became clear.
The sky was blue, and the sun hung overhead. The valley disappeared, and I was standing in an endless wilderness, the soil under my feet was soft, and the warm wind was blowing from afar, giving people an incomparable sense of steadiness.
The fat man also got up from the ground not far away and ran to meet me.
Although our clothes were still sweaty and dirty, the wounds on our bodies were gone, and not even a single scar remained. It seems that the illusion is an illusion after all, like a dream.
Only the treacherous card on my chest was still cold like a stone, and the little stinky fart was not in it, and I couldn't sense her at all.
When it comes to the scene where the painter is finally devoured by the bronze coffin, the fat man and I are speechless, and silence is better than sound.
The terrain here is flat, and we soon found Xiao Jun and He Xiaoqi fainting not far away. Their faces were pale, but they only fainted.
The two of them fell into a white daisy field, and not far away grew a dead tree half of the body of a swarthy tree the size of a bowl. It seems that these two scenes are the only ones left, reminding us of the life of nine deaths that we experienced not long ago.
Xiao Jun was still holding the short-handled shovel in his hand, but a female corpse appeared next to He Xiaoqi. The female corpse was highly decomposed and difficult to distinguish, but one of her hands was tightly held with He Xiaoqi, inseparable.
Needless to say, this female corpse should be the one we are looking for, and has turned into an upside-down hanged person in the illusion - Fu Yuqing.
I was amazed by that.
You know, we can return to reality through illusion, one is because they are all living people, and the other is the result of defeating the painter and breaking the scroll.
And Fu Yuqing has already become a corpse, she shuttles back to reality through her connection with He Xiaoqi, and there must be more spiritual factors than the illogic of the physical level.
The fat man and I grabbed the two of them and woke them up.
After waking up, Xiao Jun cried with joy and couldn't help hugging the fat man. He Xiaoqi looked at the female corpse next to her and cried, and then kept retching, and it took a long time to calm down.
The Mercedes-Benz SUV we came with and Miss Fu's car were also parked not far away, and the two cars looked intact, but the fuel tanks were empty. It quickly reminded me of the gasoline in the trees in the snowy pine forest.
I took out my phone from the car to check the time, and we all went through nine deaths, but in the real world it was just a night's work, like a dream.
I discussed with everyone, first, the car could not start, and second, there was a corpse, in this case, we should report the case to the people's workers' security to deal with.
Everyone nodded yes.
Of course, we can't tell the truth about the process of finding this body and the purpose of our trip, and if we were to tell the truth, it is estimated that we would not be able to run away and be sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.
We studied a set of theories, half-false and half-true, saying that it was true that we were looking for someone, but we got lost in the field and the fuel tank was empty.
Before reporting the case, I first called Boss Qin, firstly to briefly explain the situation, and secondly, to ask him to contact Miss Fu's parents so that they could testify to the purpose of our trip.
Everything was arranged, and I called the police on 110.
The efficiency of the Yancheng police was higher than that of Quancheng, and 20 minutes after the report was made, a police car drove over from far and near.
After getting out of the police car, the police checked the body, and they seemed to be startled, and without waiting for us to report the situation, they hurriedly ran back into the car and chatted into the car radio.
After another half an hour, one after the other, four police cars with sirens whistled in, and the scene was quickly cordoned. The four of us got into the police car and were "invited" back to the Yancheng Police Station.
Sitting on the hard plastic stool at the Yancheng police station, my first words were: "Can you get a few bottles of water first, if you can, you'd better give me some more food, we're all starving......
Even today, many years later, I still believe that the scene of us gobbling bread and frantically pouring water in the Yancheng Police Station must have left an indelible impression on these dear workers and security officers.
It seems that we are not some homicide whistleblowers, but we have come here for a picnic, and the little brothers and sisters of the police in the office hall can't help but snort, and the frowns can kill flies......
Since we were the informants, and the time of getting off the highway did not match the time of the murder of the body preliminarily determined by the forensic doctor, coupled with the testimony of Boss Qin and Miss Fu's parents, the police investigation did not embarrass us much, and let us leave after making a record.
In addition to being told that we couldn't leave the city until the autopsy report came out, it was almost like providing us with a free lunch that was not very rich.
Although the matter was over, I and everyone were very depressed, so I found a hotel near the police station and waited for the police response.
In the past few days of recuperation in the hotel, in addition to recovering my body, I have not been less to explain He Xiaoqi. After the three of us took turns to enlighten, He Xiaoqi's depressed mood finally improved.
Three days later, the autopsy report was released.
After DNA comparison, as well as conclusive evidence such as the vehicle left at the scene and the relics in the car, it was determined that the female corpse was the missing Fu Yuqing.
Miss Fu's parents also quickly came to identify the body, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, which was naturally indispensable for some sadness, so he omitted it. We were also able to regain our freedom and return to Springs.
On the day I left, I unexpectedly received a call from Nie Yang.
He told me that one of the Secret Service labs had been attacked by unknown last night and that many monsters had escaped, including the water monkey I caught.
Nie Yang reminded me to be careful, and said that the evil thing like the East China Sea merman is the most vindictive, and he is afraid that he will wait for an opportunity to retaliate, so I will contact him as soon as I have any situation. I was a little touched and said it would.
Having a beginning and an end is my style of doing things.
After returning to Quancheng, I was thinking about how to explain the situation to Shao Lao, worried that the illusion and the picture scroll were too mysterious for a high-level intellectual like him, and I was afraid that he would not be able to accept it, so I was just perfunctory.
Who knew that Shao Lao took the initiative to come to Tiandihe to find me, and the old man seemed to be in much better spirits than before, as if he had finally let go of a matter of concern.
He told me that the day after we broke the picture, his wife gave him a dream, saying that his revenge had finally been avenged, and that the traitor who had killed her had also come to a deserved end, and asked Shao Lao to thank me.
The two commissions have finally come to an end, but there seem to be many unsolved mysteries.
First, I don't know the life and death of the little stinky fart, so I can't eat and sleep well all day long, and my days are like years. Second, in the sleepless town conjured up by the bronze murder coffin, who is the dark shadow that appears on the street and eventually leads us to the wooden coffin?
