"So that's the case, you disappeared for eight years for no reason, and everyone thought you were dead, but it turned out that you were hiding."

In the night rain mountain wooded house, my brother and I, as well as Chen Xie, sat on the ground, poured a cup of mountain wild tea, listened to the sound of rain outside, and told the previous things one by one.

I told him about the past eight years in the Great Rift Valley, and after hearing this, Chen Xie put down the teacup and said: "You have been absent for eight years, the ghost world has changed, I don't know how to tell you, I have been investigating the death of the master all these years, but the deeper I go/the more I find that things are more complicated than I thought, I always feel that there are two hands behind my back, leading me away, deliberately letting me go back and forth, but I have never found the truth." ”

"I heard that you already know about the person who killed Yuan Lao?" I asked him suspiciously, Chen Xie nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, it has been eight years, he looks a little different, and his eyes are hidden very deeply, as if there are many things.

"At the beginning, I went to investigate the truth of the master's death through the ghost bag, and it took nearly five years to find out, the person who killed the master, you should have heard of it, Red Mask."

"Red Mask?" My brother and I couldn't help but shudder when we heard this word.

"Red Mask I know, when I was looking for my brother before, every time I encountered a clue about Nong Shouren, it was related to this red mask, I heard before, he seems to be in the ghost guest organization, but among the four ghost guests, I haven't heard of a red mask."

"Indeed, the four ghost guests are painters, magicians, breeders, and butchers, and do not have red masks." Chen Xie nodded and said, "So this is also the point that makes me wonder, this red mask is very hidden, and the information about him is only known by this name, and there is a red mask, and there is nothing else, so I can't find out at all." ”

"After I found out the red mask three years ago, I have been looking for him, and now I have been looking for him for three years, and there is no clue at all, as if there is no such person in the world."

I listened to Chen Xie's words, and I can understand his feelings very well, some people are obviously in your stories and memories, but when you really look for them, you can't find them anyway, as if your memories are fictional, that feeling is very powerless and maddening.

"But after I investigated further, I found another thing, which was related to the ghost world." Chen Xie seemed to think of something, and said: "Every time I am about to find the answer, there will always be something inexplicable in the way, whether it is an opportunity or a timing, it is finally gained and lost, and slowly I found that it is not my bad luck, but behind the scenes, it seems that someone is controlling everything and does not want me to discover the truth." ”

"What do you mean?" I saw that he was referring specifically to the ghost world, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, he glanced at me, and said in a somewhat slow tone: "I know you may not believe it, but behind the ghost world, there are two hands that control everything. ”

My brother's face was surprised when he heard this, he put down the cup in his hand and said, "No, you mean that the entire ghost eradication realm is controlled by others?" ”

Chen Xie looked at us and nodded with a very serious look in his eyes.

"Impossible, the scope of the ghost removal realm is so wide, and there are so many people, how can it be directly controlled, this is simply impossible."

"I didn't think it was possible before, but when I saw the two of you still in front of me, I knew that nothing in this world was impossible." Chen Xie said in a calm tone: "I want to find a way to find the red mask, the only clue I know at the moment is that he belongs to the ghost guest organization, if you want to find out who he is, you must start with the ghost guest." ”

Hearing him say this, I wanted to come alone, and the memory became very distant, and said, "Maybe I know who you can ask." ”

"Who?"

"Butcher."

"Butcher?" My brother and Chen Xie were stunned for a moment when they heard this, they didn't know what was going on, and they were very at a loss when I said this.

My mind flashes back to the truth I knew eight years ago, when I was in the Great Rift Valley. Jiujiu Chinese

I thought about it and decided to tell them about it, so I told them what happened in the Great Rift Valley, and the two of them were extremely shocked after hearing it, especially my brother, whose eyes widened in disbelief: "You said Lao Bai... He.. He's a butcher? Does Brother Liu know about this? ”

I shook my head: "I didn't tell him at the time, it's been eight years now, and I don't know what's going on." ”

"Then when he was sick before, we went to see him, and there were still jokes at that time, when Zhen Zhen was taken away, he just smiled and said that he wanted to see what this fox looked like, and now it seems that this is all acting! This guy is too good at hiding! ”

My brother was very shocked by the news he heard, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, on the contrary, Chen Xie was okay to accept it, because he and Bai Youwei were not familiar with each other, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Are you sure you can ask him?" Chen Xie still felt that it was a little impossible, so he went directly to ask the butcher, which was a bit fantastical.

"In the past, it was definitely impossible, but now it's different." I said, "As long as you find him, you can still ask something if you can't, but you also have to be careful, this person is very deep in the city, and it is not easy to communicate." ”

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know, we haven't been in contact with Liu Kuaikou until now, maybe I can help you ask, speaking of which, I remembered, what about Wu Tian and Guoguoren? Why are you here? ”

From the time I came in until now, I didn't seem to see anyone else in this wooden house, including the two people who claimed to be assassins, and they were gone, and according to this situation, it was obvious that something had happened.

Sure enough, when Chen Xie heard my question, his brows furrowed, and he said: "Things are a little complicated, when the news of the death of the two of you came out, Lu Wenliang was eager to occupy a place and publicize to the outside world that she killed you, but no one in the entire ghost killing world believed it, because she couldn't take out your corpses." ”

"So in the case of this dispute, the situation became very chaotic, everyone was an enemy from all sides, in order to compete for the first place in the ghost eradication world, during that time, when the flower picker was not recognized, people pointed the finger at the warlock who was still the first, that is, me, many people came to attack us, for safety, I let Wu Tian leave with Guoguo."

"The whole process of struggle lasted for about three or four years, and suddenly disappeared, and everyone stopped fighting, and in the end there was no fight for who was the first, but in private, the ghost world has been an internal and external trouble, and now people's energy is not on dealing with ghosts, and the entire ghost world urgently needs someone to lead the way."

"Why don't you go up?" After listening to him, I felt a little puzzled: "Didn't the warlock faction be the first place a long time ago?" You say first, it's reasonable. ”

"It's useless, in this situation, no one will listen to me." Chen Xie smiled bitterly, took two sips of tea, and said: "If you want to stabilize the ghost eradication realm, you have to do something that convinces everyone, although I am investigating the death of the master, but I can't find the murderer until now, and before there is no result, everything is in vain." ”

"I see." My brother suddenly said, "The current ghost removal world is just a plate of loose sand, if you want to stick them together, you need to pour some water into it." ”

"Yes." Chen Xie nodded in agreement and said, "But now what I'm worried about is not the question of who comes first, but behind the ghost eradication world, there is likely to be another hand that controls everything in secret." ”

He had repeatedly emphasized the forces behind it several times, I thought about it, and said, "Assuming that there is someone behind it as you said, then who do you think it will be?" Can you have such a great ability to control the entire ghost eradication realm? ”

He was silent and didn't answer me, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't dare to say, we need evidence, I'll go back tomorrow to the person you said and ask him about the red mask, what are your plans next?" ”

"We found his brother from Grandpa's diary, the ghost spell on Tu Poor has a lot to do with this person, and now the time is urgent, we must solve this matter." My brother patted the package, which contained the skull.

Chen Xie nodded when he heard this, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Then wait until we have completed our respective things, and then come back to get together, when the time comes, everyone will be there, and no one can be missing." ”

When my brother and I heard this, we raised our glasses and said, "The coming days are long, and there is time." ”
