21, Mr. Silver
But Wang Zhexuan disagreed, he said that it was too dangerous to do so, and the villagers here were obviously very unfriendly, I insisted, and finally Nie Team said, "Maybe Zhang Ziang just wants He Yang to stay, instead of us staying with him, why don't we wait for him in the village in front of him, and when he figures out the reason for the matter, he will come and contact us, after all, we can't do this without him."
So in the end, it was agreed that we would keep in touch, and they would wait for me in the village in front of me, and if I didn't come in two days, they would come back to me.
I tried to go into the alley again to find the child, but the child was completely gone. I thought that since Zhang Ziang could let this kid send him a letter, then he must have lived here for a while, and he was not ostracized by the people here, so how did he do it?
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly bumped into several villagers head-on, and I ran into several of them at once, so I turned around and wanted to leave, but who knew that they would chase after me, and they were silent until I turned around and asked them, "What are you doing?" β
They came over and stopped me without a sound, I also wanted to struggle but after all, it was obviously impossible for one person to deal with several people, and I also wanted to see what they were going to do, from the way they did it, it didn't look like they were going to be against me, if it was to be against me, it wouldn't be so light, I guess I would have been beaten and dragged away.
Sure enough, they took me to an old-fashioned house, and there was a man in the house, who seemed to be the head of the house or somebody, and he was sitting behind a desk, and I hadn't seen this person, and it was kind of like the boss here. After I was carried in, I was let go and stood in front of him, and he looked at me and asked, "Are you He Yang?" β
He had already confirmed it, but he still asked it on purpose, and I said, "Why do you ask again when you have already confirmed?" β
He said, "I haven't seen you, I'm sure I'm going to make sure." β
I asked, "Who are you and why do you know about me?" β
He said, "I don't know you, but I know the name, and everyone here knows the name He Yang." β
I wondered, "Everybody knows this name, why?" β
He stood up, walked up to me and said, "Because this village was destroyed because of you." β
I said, "The village is ruined?" What's going on, I've never been here, what does it have to do with me? β
He said, "Sometimes a person doesn't need to be present in person to happen, it just needs to be related to him, don't you understand this truth?" β
I said, "But what do I have to do with this?" β
"Because you were born here, that's the connection," he said. β
Where was I born? It was the first time someone had given me an exact answer and let me know where I was born, and I was a little excited when I heard this message, and I said, "So you know who my parents are?" β
He looked at me without changing his eyes, but shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
I felt that his words were inconsistent, as if he had said something and as if he had said nothing, and I said, "So how did you know I was born here?" β
He said, "What about your three companions?" β
He abruptly changed the subject, and I said, "They're gone." β
And the man continued, "You are here for the mirage incident of that year, you have to go to the village at the end of Sanlian Town, because that is where the mirage happened, isn't it?" β
I said, "How do you know?" β
He said: "Basically, the outsiders who came here came for the mirage incident of that year, but they all returned in vain. β
I asked, "Why?" β
"Because the thing itself is a secret, just like you," he said. β
I asked, "Who are you?" β
He said, "It doesn't matter who I am, it's who you are." Of course, you don't have an answer yourself, but there is someone who wants to see you. β
I asked, "Who is it?" β
He said, "Come with me, and you'll know when you see it." β
After saying that, he walked into the inner room, and I followed him in, only to find that it was a corridor leading to the back yard, and the courtyard behind the brocade stock purchase was another wing, and he stood in the courtyard and said to the people inside, "He is here." β
With that, he looked at me and turned away, and I stood where I was, as if I had let myself in.
So I approached the chamber, and it was dark and dark, but I saw a man in it, and soon I saw his mask, the silver mask, and I recognized him at once, and I said, "Mr. Silver, why are you here?" β
In a hoarse voice, he said, "Sit." β
I sat down across from him and he asked me, "Do you want tea?" β
As he spoke, he picked up a cup and lifted the teapot to a cup of tea and pushed it to me, I looked at the shaking tea, and then focused my eyes on him, I asked, "Why are you here, what is this place?" β
Mr. Silver said, "This is Sanlian Town, why you are here, is why I am here." β
I know he doesn't want to say it, at first I thought it was just xenophobia, but seeing Mr. Yin here, I don't think things here are as simple as I know, and I'm afraid that's why Zhang Ziang let me stay here, because he has already found out something.
I guessed something, and I said, "You've seen Zhang Ziang." β
He replied, "Yes." β
Sure enough, it makes sense, but why is Mr. Silver here, he seems to have some connection with the case, but it seems that there is not much connection, and his appearance here now means that he is also connected here, so who is he?
Although I had a lot of questions, I didn't speak, just looked at him, and after a while he asked me, "You are here for the truth of the mirage." β
I said, "Yes." β
Mr. Silver asked, "Why do you want to know the truth about the mirage?" β
I said, "The mirage is the key to everything at the moment, the only clue that can be found, and I feel that the answer to all the mysteries is hidden behind the mirage." β
Mr. Yin listened and said, "The mirage is not the answer, it is just the beginning of another mystery, He Yang, it's too late for you to stop now." β
I frowned, and Mr. Silver said, "You think you're looking for an answer, but have you thought about it, what if it's not the answer, but just the beginning?" β
A start? This is not the first time I've heard this statement, and I asked, "What do you mean by the beginning, the new case of the Spider Codename?" β
Mr. Silver said, "The spider is not a case, just a warning, the spider oil paper you found in the village in front of you, is just a warning to you, it's just that you don't understand, if you do, you won't go on." β
I didn't get it, and I said, "What do you mean?" β
Mr. Yin said, "Spiders are creatures that are good at building webs, Duan Jiaming uses spiders as a code to make you understand that what you are about to face is a spider web that has been woven a long time ago, just waiting for the prey to come in, and you want to retreat from the difficulties, but unfortunately you didn't understand, but misunderstood this warning, thinking that it was a hint before the truth." β
I said, "But there are often more traps near the answer, and since I'm already in the cobweb, does that mean I'm getting closer to the answer?" β
Mr. Silver suddenly laughed, and he said, "You really have a strange mind. β
I don't know if he is praising me or hurting me, I am not angry, nor do I speak, but waiting for further news from him, since he has seen me at this time, it will not be as simple as persuading me to leave, it is obvious that he has more important things to tell me, and this matter is probably the answer I am looking for.
Sure enough, Mr. Silver said, "But if you really hold back and don't move forward, it's boring, isn't it?" β
I asked him, "Are you going to help me?" β
Mr. Silver said, "How can you think that I am helping you instead of harming you, after all, your life and death have little to do with me. β
When I heard him say this, his expression changed a little, and after thinking about it, I didn't have much intersection with Mr. Yin, and his appearance didn't seem to be because of me, but judging from Zhang Ziang's experience, it seemed that Mr. Yin paid more attention to Zhang Ziang, I thought of this, squinted my eyes and asked, "Your target is Zhang Ziang." β
He didn't speak, I said, "But......"
I couldn't figure it out, but I couldn't say anything, I said, "So where is Zhang Ziang now?" β
Mr. Yin calmly said to me, "Zhang Ziang has never appeared in Sanlian Town, so how did you know that he appeared here?" β
This time I was really surprised, and I exclaimed, "What did you say?" β
Mr. Yin said, "How did you get the clue that Zhang Ziang once appeared here, who saw Zhang Ziang appear here, and how are you sure that Zhang Ziang appeared here?" β
I was a little speechless, and then I saw Mr. Silver take out a piece of paper and a pen, as if he was writing something, and when he was done, he handed me the note, and saw that it was written exactly the same line as I had ever seen itβstay here!
It's exactly the same as Zhang Ziang's handwriting!
I looked at him in amazement and I said "you are ......"
He said categorically, "I'm not Zhang Ziang, it was I who created the illusion that Zhang Ziang is here, because I know that after getting this clue, you will definitely come here desperately, if you don't come, then what's the point." β
I asked him, "What are you going to do?" β
Mr. Silver said, "I want you to choose the first person to die in Sanlian Town, those three companions of yours, who do you choose, and who do you choose to let die?" β
I asked him, "Why are you doing this?" β
Mr. Silver said, "Choose one person and save the other two, otherwise all three of them will die, or, if you choose to die yourself, they can't contact you after two days, and they turn back, is this kind of serial murder more interesting?" β
