Chapter 43: Night Attack
There was no warning of the Taoist priest's departure, and he had not mentioned it before, and when I asked him what he was going to do, he only said that he had something urgent to do, but he refused to say anything.
Ouch, I'm depressed in my heart, although there is no banquet in the world, but now is my most difficult time, my father and uncle were arrested, even the third uncle was helpless, isolated, Taoist priest left at this time, I really became a loner.
In my lamentation, the Taoist priest still left, and before leaving, he patted me on the shoulder: "Relax, unfortunate things will always pass, maybe as long as I sleep and wake up, your father and uncle will come back." Hehe, Dao Ye does have an urgent matter, if you wait for Dao Ye's affairs to be completed, and you have not yet finished this matter, Dao Ye will accompany you out for a walk, even if you have lifted the nest of the Heavenly Witch Sect, you will also help you find people back. The Taoist priest smiled, and after finishing speaking, he didn't let me send him, and walked away by himself.
I don't know why, I always feel that the Taoist priest is a little strange, but I can't say the specifics.
The anxiety and irritability were made worse by the departure of the Taoist priest, and I tried almost all the ways to rescue my father and third uncle, but found that all the methods were not feasible.
Call the police, the police-inspector can't control this, besides, the nature of the third uncle's work is similar to that of the police-inspector, and he is in charge of these, he can't help it, and the police are even more useless. But if you don't call the police, can you really just wait at home honestly as the third uncle said?
No, this is absolutely not good, the mother's missing people are my dearest people, if I want to do nothing and wait for news at home, I really can't do it, but the key is what can I do now?
In the evening, ignoring the third uncle's warning not to go out, I sneaked out in a gloomy mood. The cold wind is whistling, penetrating the bone marrow, under the stimulation of the biting cold, I have been in a state of confusion for the past few days, maybe it is the influence of a bad mood, I don't feel that the cold is unbearable, but I have a sense of scene blending in my heart, and I can't help but sigh.
I walked aimlessly, like a walking corpse, but my mind kept sorting out the whole thing. The continuous cold wind blew my brain more awake than ever, and some details that I had not thought of for a while also came to my mind at this time.
From the third uncle's narration, I already know that the cause of the whole incident is still the Fengyang incident, and the culprit of the Fengyang tragedy, the black wizard Bagan, is not dead, maybe for revenge, or for other purposes, he colluded with a group of mysterious people suspected of being Heavenly Witch cultists, and targeted me, and then there were these later things.
On the surface, that group of mysterious people should be from the Heavenly Witch Sect, otherwise it would be impossible for Bagan to hook up with them, but what I can't understand is that Luo Yi is also from the Heavenly Witch Sect, since he is also a member of the Heavenly Witch Sect, why did Luo Yi follow the old lady and secretly sabotage the old lady's plot against me? It doesn't make sense!
Another point, if that group of mysterious people is indeed from the Heavenly Witch Sect, since their target was me at the beginning, why did they then shift the target to my father? If it was to threaten me with my father, why haven't they moved since I returned to Chengdu? And the third uncle didn't mention a word about it.
The only plausible explanation is that they did target me in the first place, and when they found out that they had been unable to find me and the situation was very urgent, they replaced me with my father. In other words, I am the preferred target, and my father is their substitute target, because of Luo Yi's intervention, I went to the ancient town, and they had to arrest my father, as for the uncle, he completely made himself into it.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be surprised, if the truth is really as I thought, then my father and I must have some kind of same or similar qualities, and it can only be unique to our father and son, otherwise they would not have just taken my father and let my uncle go.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the most reasonable possibility, but what could it be?
The first thing that came to my mind was genes, I was born to my father, and the most similar thing was the bloodline gene, but the scope of genes was too large, and cults generally couldn't be proficient in such advanced biological sciences, so genes were immediately excluded by me.
What can be compared between people, in addition to genes, there are also blood type, appearance, and even mental quality and even personality.
Blood type is definitely impossible, my father and I are two blood types, as for appearance, it is even more impossible, I am much more handsome than my father, and I think the cult is unlikely to care about this.
For other intrinsic character traits, it's even more impossible.
Aimless thinking was the most exhausting, and soon my mind was cluttered with all sorts of jumbled conjectures.
At this time, it was completely dark, the weather was freezing, there were basically no pedestrians on both sides of the road, and even the cars were pitiful, after all, the location where we rented a house was not a prosperous area.
Facing the howling wind of the night, I raised my head, wiped my face, took a deep breath, calmed myself, and pondered the way in which two things that were connected under normal circumstances, and that similarities should be different from the others.
Slowly, I started to have a clue.
Actually, when I first look for similarities, I shouldn't immediately compare them to my dad, because it's much harder to find similarities between the same kind of things than to find differences.
In other words, instead of looking for the similarities that exist in me and my father but are different from ordinary people, it is better to first find the differences that distinguish us from others, and then compare these differences with each other to find out what my father and I have in common, that is the purpose of the Heavenly Witch Sect to arrest us.
Speaking of the difference between Daddy and others, if nothing else, let's take Uncle as an example, because Uncle fell into the control of Bagan at the beginning, but in the end he still didn't take Uncle How, which shows that Uncle doesn't have much effect on them, and Uncle can be used as a reference here.
First of all, although the uncle and the father are brothers, they are not biological, and there is no blood relationship between them; Secondly, the uncle has a perverse personality, is rough and uninhibited, and is not a good person, while my father has been studying since he was a child, has a pedantic personality, and is a complete literati. In the end, the uncle got along with his grandfather for eleven years, and since he was a child, he was very in awe of ghosts and gods, and his father, in order to avoid the curse of the source of misfortune, his grandmother never let him touch such things, coupled with years of scientific education, he cultivated his father into a wooden atheist.
Compared with the future, I think the latter two points are unlikely, because there are more pedantic atheists in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for Bagan to attack us because of this. In this way, the greatest possibility should be the first one: blood relatives.
I opened the sleeve of my right hand, looked at the hideous black lines entrenched under the flesh and blood of my arm, and a thought flashed through my mind: Perhaps, this has something to do with the master and the source of doom.
The curse of Doom originated from Taiye, and was passed down from generation to generation through bloodline inheritance, and finally came to me, and Doom is related to the ultimate goal of the Heavenly Witch Sect - the Earth Eye, if the purpose of the Heavenly Witch Sect is really the source of Doom, then it is not difficult to explain their actions.
I carry the curse of Doom on my body, which can guide me to find the sealed Eye of the Earth, and at the same time, Doom is also the key to unlocking the seal, all of which I learned from the experience after Feng Yang, but Bagan is different, this old thing does not know how many years it has lived, it is likely that he knew what the Doom Yuan on my body represented from the beginning, and after Feng Yang escaped by luck, he contacted other members of the Heavenly Witch Sect and exposed me, so there were those things that followed.
Bagan wanted me at the beginning, and I was naturally the candidate to exchange my uncle's life, but because of Luo Yi's intervention, I went to the ancient town and lost the news, so Bagan had to retreat and turn the target to Dad, because we are blood relatives, and Dadden can also become the carrier of Doom.
Thinking of this, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, although this is just my conjecture, but if this is really the case, Daddy's current situation is dangerous, in order to let Daddy have the curse of Doom, who knows what kind of things those crazy people will do?
I couldn't calm my mind anymore, and immediately turned around to go back, and just now, I thought of someone, and now the only person who can help.
I was walking completely unconsciously, and before I knew it, I had turned back to the small courtyard where I was renting, but not at the front door, but by the small alley behind the courtyard wall.
I was stunned for a moment, for I saw an old ginkgo tree a meter away beside me, the leaves had fallen away, and only the bare branches remained, shivering in the howling cold wind, like an old man in the twilight, lingering in the wind.
"Here, how is it so similar to the place described by the third uncle?" I was suspicious, looked at the bare corner of the ginkgo tree, and found no rubble, so I turned around and walked to the ginkgo, reached out and touched it back, and my heart jumped, and behind the ginkgo branch, there was a cold-touch object.
I don't need to look at it, I also know that it is the ghost-faced bronze mirror that Luo Yi hangs behind the ginkgo, the legendary Borneo necromancer.
The street lamp described in the third uncle's words was already broken, only the faint light scattered in the distance, I took out my mobile phone and turned it on, poked my head out, and looked carefully through the light of my mobile phone.
At a glance, I frowned, and what hung behind the tree was indeed a bronze mirror, but it was a little different from the description of the third uncle, it was just a smooth black bronze ancient mirror, and there was no Brahma necromancer on it.
What's going on?
I was suspicious, so I moved my phone closer to look closer, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, a strange face with a hideous smile appeared on the smooth mirror of the bronze mirror.
The sudden change frightened me to retract my neck, and my body quickly retreated, but I didn't expect that just a few steps back, I suddenly hit something behind me, as if I had hit a steel plate, and the pain was so painful that I almost lost my breath.
I clutched my waist and turned around to see a guy dressed in black with a bruised face standing behind me expressionlessly. His face was extremely gloomy, without a trace of blood, and at first glance, it was exactly the same as the zombie I met in the ancient town.
The continuous fright made me a little unable to react, and at this moment, the man in black who looked like a zombie suddenly pulled out a kitchen knife with a cold glow from behind his back, and slashed it at my head.
I didn't expect such a shocking change anyway, but fortunately, I have experienced a lot of wind and waves now, and my body's conditioned reflex is faster than the brain's response, and at the moment when the other party raised his knife to cut down, my body had already flashed sideways, rolled on the spot, and rolled from the foot of the courtyard wall to the road.
Turning over and standing up, I didn't think about it, I immediately shouted for help, and at the same time, the man in black missed the knife, quickly turned around and rushed down the road, and continued to chase after me.
At this time, I was not idle, while shouting, I ran towards the front door of the small courtyard with all my might, but the speed of the man in black was beyond my imagination, and the running speed I had practiced during this period of time was not worth mentioning in front of him, just a few breaths, and the road ahead was intercepted by him.
Strange to say, there are many residents near this alley, and I have been shouting for help for so long, but no one has come out to help, so I can only rely on myself.
I can't run, so I have to fight with it.
As soon as I thought of this, I turned my heart sideways, and saw the man in black swinging a sharp kitchen knife at me again, I didn't dodge, I calmly saw the knife path clearly, clenched my fists with both hands, pierced my legs, and played the boxing technique that the doctor taught me not long ago, my fists intersected, and my wrists were facing forward, just avoiding the blade of the man in black.
At the same time, I felt as if my crossed wrists had hit an icicle, cold and hard. I hurriedly withdrew my hand, and at the same time raised my foot and kicked the man in black in the abdomen, this kick I used a lot of force, if I kicked it solidly, even if I was a master, I would have to lie on the ground for a few minutes.
It's a pity that I still miscalculated, this kick did hit the man in black, but I felt as if I was on a steel plate, and the huge force of the shock almost shook my leg away, but the man in black only stiffly took a few steps back.
At this time, if I didn't know what was going on, I really deserved to be hacked to death, damn it, this guy is really not human, such a hard body, could it be that he is really a zombie?
I felt a chill in my heart, and my steps unconsciously retreated, and the man in black suddenly became troubled at this time, like a Humvee rampage, and crashed straight towards me.
