Just when Lao Wu was sorting out his thoughts, Qi Lu's words made him even more unhappy

"Lao Wu, this mysterious person, I have had contact with him a total of three times"

"What, why didn't you say it earlier" This time it was Lao Wu's turn to teach Qi Lu a lesson

Qi Lu's face turned red, and he embarrassedly snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray

"Alas, I said you two," Lao Wu paced around the room with his hands behind his back and began to count Qi Lu

"Xiao Ding has no experience, no wonder she is a veteran of demon hunting, why don't you seriously analyze and study such supernatural things"

"I'm not sure yet, I'm not sure if it's a real event."

Old Wu Tie walked to the table with a blushing face, pushed all the things on it to the ground, and then turned around and picked up his travel bag and put it on the table

Lao Wu is easy-going and rarely loses his temper, but Qi Lu knows that what he did just now is a serious dissatisfaction with himself, but after all, he was careless and did something wrong, Qi Lu also felt guilty, he walked to Lao Wu twistedly, looked at what he was looking for in the bag, and wanted to help by the way

Lao Wu took out the thing from the bag was a laptop computer for the company, he turned on the computer and said to Ding Xiaolan with a smile: "Come to Xiaoding, let's find out what kind of monsters this is."

"In order to investigate the crime, you can't bring the computer with you," Ding Xiaolan asked

"A lot of information in the computer is confidential, and you can't find it on the Internet."

"Yes, then show me," Ding Xiaolan became interested, she had come to Lao Wu's side to look at the information opened in his computer, this is an e-book, the title of the book is called the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Ding Xiaolan grinned, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, this is the top-secret information you said, and there is this book everywhere on the Internet."

Lao Wu opened the e-book noncommittally, and what caught Ding Xiaolan's eyes was a beautifully designed document page with a simple and antique atmosphere

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas you see now is the most primitive and authentic version, not the kind of edited and distorted cheap goods that are flying all over the Internet now," Qi Lu kindly reminded Ding Xiaolan behind her

"Well, you just have nothing to do, by the way, tell me about your three illusion experiences, try to restore the details at that time," Lao Wu glared at Qi Lu angrily

"Hey, I'm your boss, how can you talk to me in such a tone," Qi Lu was unhappy, but Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan ignored him, and the two of them buried their heads in the book of mountains and seas

Qi Lu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to move a chair nearby, sit next to Lao Wu, and began to talk to him about the strange experience of the past few days

While listening, Lao Wu quickly flipped through the e-book with the arrow keys on the keyboard, and finally stopped on a page and motioned Ding Xiaolan to look at the contents

At the top of the page is a dragon-shaped image depicting a giant red dragon swimming in the sea, its mouth sticking out of the water, whether it is spraying rain or clouds or other gases

"Do you recognize it?" asked Lao Wu with a smile

"Dragon, three-year-old children know everything," Ding Xiaolan replied with a pout

"Wrong" Lao Wu shook his head and said, "It's not a dragon"

Listening to Lao Wu say this, Ding Xiaolan took a closer look at the animals in the pattern, it is really a little different from the dragon that Ding Xiaolan usually sees in the medium, it has the same black wings as bats on its back, the scales on its body are a little strange, with the neck as the demarcation, the scales on the nod are no different from the fish scales that are usually seen, but although the scales under the neck are the same shape, they grow backwards, and the legendary dragon can fly high without wings, but it will not have such strange wings, let alone such strange scales

Ding Xiaolan looked at Lao Wu's smiling face, and her heart suddenly became unsteady, and she forcibly quibbled: "This is the dragon, maybe it is the dragon of the West."

Lao Wu shook his hand and interrupted her words, telling her in a very positive tone: "Although the nine sons of Longsheng are all different, they are not compatible with this thing."

"This monster is very similar to a dragon, is there a magical creature in the world that looks very similar to a dragon," Ding Xiaolan still didn't believe it

"It's a monster that looks like a dragon, but it's a monster that looks like a dragon and isn't a dragon, and when it's not a spirit, it can take the lives of many creatures."

"Then tell me its name," Ding Xiaolan shook Lao Wu's shoulder coquettishly

"You should have heard of mirage," Qi Lu whispered to her beside her

"Mirage, that's a rare atmospheric phenomenon, I haven't seen it yet," Ding Xiaolan said, "I heard the teacher say that a mirage is an illusion formed when light is refracted into the atmosphere."

Lao Wu moved the arrow keys again, and the words under the pattern were all displayed, and he pointed to the words to let Ding Xiaolan look at them, and after reading Ding, Xiaolan couldn't help but gasp and muttered: "You want to tell me that this strange dragon is really a mirage."

"Yes, it's a mirage, not a dragon," Lao Wu corrected the mistake in Ding Xiaolan's words again, and then pointed to the mirage's neck in the pattern and said: "I saw that there was a red mane from the neck to the back, which is a distinctive feature of the mirage."

"Look at it again, its toes are only three-clawed, dragons are generally five-clawed," Qi Lu also added

"It is true that the mirage has only three claws, but the dragon also has three, four and five claws," said Old Wu and took out his precious wine jug as he spoke

Qi Lu nodded in agreement with Lao Wu's point of view, and he said to Ding Xiaolan: "In ancient China, there was a saying that the five-clawed emperor, the four-clawed princes, and the three-clawed doctor, although this monster thought that the distant relatives of the dragon were equipped with five claws, and the three chicken claws were all lifted by it."

Ding Xiaolan was silent, but she still knew a little about the legend of the mirage from her uncle Chen Jixian

It is said that mirages live on the coast or in large rivers, and they are born with incredible abilities, that is, the mirage exhaled from the mouth can be transformed into all kinds of strange illusions, and these illusions can be projected into people's hearts, and gradually transform into heaven in his eyes, and some people say that even if many people fall into the mirage by mistake at the same time, the illusions in their respective eyes will be correspondingly different

Whether these legends are true or false, Ding Xiaolan didn't know, but she clearly remembered that Chen Jixian repeatedly warned herself that she could run as far as she could when she encountered a mirage, and she must not be delusional to be an enemy of it, it would only lose her life in vain

Ding Xiaolan trembled violently, and she asked hesitantly, "Could it be that the huge monster in my illusion is a mirage?"

Lao Wu said: "This is the most reasonable explanation at present, and it is normal for Xiao Qi to plant a fight in front of it."

Qi Lu also said: "I agree with Lao Wu's speculation, this bastard and I are talking in a high-minded tone, which is just in line with the temper of the mirage."

Ding Xiaolan asked: "What is the character of the mirage?"

"This species considers itself to be a relative of the dragon, because the dragon has the supremacy among the living beings, so since ancient times, emperors often regarded themselves as the embodiment of dragons, and in the same way, mirages also considered themselves noble creatures, and their personalities were naturally arrogant and looked down on other races."

Ding Xiaolan pursed her lips and chuckled, she said in a slightly teasing tone: "I thought it was the respect of the king, but it was just a little demon who misrecognized relatives."

"Little demon, don't underestimate their mana, otherwise you will suffer a big loss," Qi Lu said to her seriously: "Dragons are good and bad, but mirages are evil, do you know why they like to use mirages to confuse people's hearts, is to use the trick of the willing to take the bait, so that people can mistakenly fall into the illusion it arranges, so that they can eat this mirage defenselessly, it has the effect of mental anesthesia, it can make people die comfortably, and they have no resistance at all."

"Happy to Death"

"You think it's a drug overdose and you died," Qi Lu lit a cigarette and said to Lao Wu: "Now that we know its details, let's study the way to deal with it."

"I can't think of a solution to it yet, not to mention that it lurks in the shadows, and the situation is very unfavorable to us."

"Yes" Qi Lu nodded and said, "Every time I am passively dragged into the illusion by it, I have a fire in my belly"

Lao Wu took a sip of wine and asked Qi Lu: "There is a detail that you haven't noticed, right?"

"Which detail"

Lao Wu flipped through Ding Xiaolan's black notebook to investigate the case and said: "The young man who was hit by a car and died on the first day you came here, and the wife surnamed Pei have a significant common point before he died" After a pause, Lao Wu said: "Although we didn't see Ye Xuanzhi's situation before he died, judging from his son's description, he should have died in a fantasy world."

Hearing Lao Wu say this, Qi Lu suddenly came to his senses, and he said in a slightly surprised tone: "Panicked, his eyes are blank, as if he saw something terrible."

"Isn't this the obvious symptom of losing your soul," Lao Wu finished speaking for Qi Lu

"What do you mean," Ding Xiaolan didn't have as smart as them, tilting her head and asking them

"When a mirage doesn't cultivate into a demon, he relies on eating people and animals to fill his stomach, but once he cultivates into a demon, he has to devour people's souls to increase his cultivation," Qi Lu told her

"Are you saying that Su Ling and the young people who died in the car accident were sucked by the mirage?"

Lao Wu replied: "This should be an unmistakable fact"

Qi Lu frowned, he thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have reservations about your opinion."

Lao Wu asked: "Why do you have evidence to prove that I am wrong?"

"No," Qi Lu shook his head again, "I always subconsciously feel that Su Ling's death has nothing to do with Pei Liping, not with the mirage."

Lao Wu drank silently and didn't speak, but Qi Lu could see from his expression that Lao Wu didn't agree with his point of view, Qi Lu had to sit under the lamp and smoke, as if his body had been condensed by the light

"Let's start with reality first," Lao Wu didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, so he put forward his own suggestion: "Anyway, the person surnamed Pei doesn't know me, it's better for me to investigate his details today, don't you suspect that their husband and wife are not harmonious, and there may be women outside, so I will use this as a breakthrough to find clues"

Qi Lu was positive about Lao Wu's idea, and he was about to nod in agreement, but he saw Ding Xiaolan glaring angrily

"Are you still suspicious of Mr. Pei?"

Qi Lu moved the joints between his fingers, the appearance of being a little lonely just now no longer existed, and his face returned to the cynical demeanor that Ding Xiaolan had seen in the past, and he said to Ding Xiaolan word by word: "Before the matter is settled, no one is worth doubting."

"Why don't you take Ye Daochang as a breakthrough and get entangled in irrelevant things"

"Ye Xuanzhi has a wide range of contacts, looking for clues from him is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack," Qi Lu held his chin and said with a grin: "Since the causes of death of these people are all the same, we investigate Pei Liping and indirectly understand the truth of Ye Xuanzhi's death, beauty, you can't be idle today, you want to investigate Pei Liping with us today."

"The goal of three people is too big, or I can go alone," Lao Wu waved his hand again and again

"Who said it was with you," Qi Lu said with a smile on his face with an extremely confident look, "The beauty picked you up and took out that ID card, let's go find that little gangster"
