Volume 1 The Mist Chapter 2 The Old Man's Final Scheme
Xiang Yi sighed slightly, he understood that no matter whether Zhao Hecun had a conscience or not, all he received was a death order, and you don't have to worry about the truth, you just let him confess.
"Remember your promise."
"I'm sure you'll see you one last time."
Xiang Yi was taken out of the interrogation room, looking out through the window of the corridor, and his fingers were invisible in the fog.
Looking at the fog, Xiang Yi unconsciously murmured: "The fog... The fog is coming..."
This whisper was like the yin wind of the mass grave in the middle of the night, and the jailer who escorted him was shuddered by this cold word, and kicked directly at Yeheng's waist.
Yeheng, who was carrying the heavy shackles of the car, only stumbled slightly two steps, and the jailer, who was supported by a simple exoskeleton, took more than three steps back.
"You!"
The jailer who had just stood firm was annoyed and angry, and was glared at by Zhao He.
"Enough! Escort him into the car. ”
This time, Xiang Yi was not hooded, and it was the first time he knew that the institution where he was being held was actually on the edge of Andong City, not far away but covering a huge area, and there was no sign hanging up.
Countless thoughts drew a big question mark in Xiang Yi's mind, what department is this?
However, Xiang Yi also knew that if he didn't take the lead today, it would definitely not be Zhao He's sudden kindness, maybe this would be the last time he would see the door of this mysterious detention place.
The visibility in the fog was already less than five meters, and the car could not drive too fast in the fog, so the jailer who was driving in boredom turned on the radio in the car......
"Today is June 15, 2022, welcome to Traffic Radio, and now let's insert a set of newsletters."
"In recent days, most countries around the world have experienced haze, and most cities in China are also shrouded in haze, and now most cities in China are like dark nights."
"The state has issued a major smog warning, calling on the public to stay indoors as much as possible, reduce going out, and do not listen to rumors of "Judgment Day". ”
"Those who create and spread rumors will be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law."
The gray world outside the car was like volcanic ash floating in the sky after a volcanic eruption, and Xiang Yi carefully stared at his every move outside the window, as if he could see what was hidden in the fog......
The lights of countless vehicles move forward in the gray world, and the lights of the cars shuttling on the road are like ferries for the dead.
Only Xiang Yi himself knew that this was not an ordinary fog, and Xiang Yi smelled a smell of depression and death from it.
There had just been a car accident on the street, and through the thick haze, I could see that the front windshield of the Audi car seemed to have been cut out of a big hole, surrounded by bloodstains, and the seriously deformed front of the car, I don't know what it had knocked down, and it was parked alone in the middle of the road to cause a lot of trouble to the passing vehicles.
Xiang Yi saw all this through the narrow window, and his memory seemed to return to the cave more than a year ago, and the light brown eyes and desperate voice flashed by again.
"Run, the fog is coming..."
As the tremor of the police car stopped and pulled Xiang Yi back to reality from his memories, Zhao He opened the shackles on the railing in the car for Xiang Yi.
"Let's go, fifteen minutes!"
With the sound of the iron chain rubbing the ground, all the doctors and patients in the hall of the inpatient department looked at Xiang Yi, Zhao He pursed his lips and took Xiang Yi into the elevator and pressed directly to the 14th floor......
"That's not an auspicious number......"
"Lao Zhao, we have known each other for a year, do you believe in the end of the world? Do you believe that judgment is coming? The fog is coming..."A smile suddenly appeared on Xiang Yi's lips.
Zhao He watched with his own eyes how the young man in front of him fell from a reporter to the abyss, from the original straightforwardness and sunshine to the current eyes like a torch, his emotions were weak, and his low and flat voice was like a cold wind, as if every sentence could pierce the tip of his heart.
Zhao He didn't know why he was suddenly angry, inexplicably irritable, grabbed Xiang Yi's collar, pulled out the gun and pressed it directly against Xiang Yi's jaw, the green tendons in the corners of his forehead were beating suddenly.
"No matter how much nonsense you talk about, you won't see this last side!"
Xiang Yi smiled disapprovingly, and as the elevator made a "ding~" sound, the patient's family members waiting for the elevator on the 14th floor suddenly saw a scene in the elevator, Zhao He hurriedly put away the gun and glared at Xiang Yi angrily.
"I'm dying anyway, aren't I? Fifteen minutes won't keep you waiting. ”
Xiang Yi walked out of the elevator with a smile and dragged the heavy shackles.
Zhao He's heart was suddenly shocked, and he wondered if he knew?
In fact, when they didn't wear a hood on this outing, Xiang Yi already knew their plans.
There was a radiant old man lying on the hospital bed, and he didn't look like he was critically ill at all, but Xiang Yi understood that his grandfather's excessive use of adrenaline had already overdrawn his life.
The old man looked at Xiang Yi in front of him and showed a smile.
"It's coming...... Time is running out, grandchildren ......"
Xiang Yi knelt down in front of the old man's hospital bed, two tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, only Xiang Yi himself knew what the old man had done for him for more than a year.
That is the hope of the future life.....
"Xiao Yi, grandpa can't accompany you to the end, the translated codex grandpa gave it to you when he went to see you, did you practice the content on it?"
"Eun ......"
Xiang Yi nodded diligently, and the old man in front of the hospital bed continued.
"That's good... That's good... The codex says that the law is approaching, the seal of heaven will collapse, and it will be under the fog, and the ghost will be seen in the heart, and then the world will be slaughtered...... I calculated, two days at most..... Ahem....."
"The codex is a fragment, but I found out who is in the hands of some of the fragments, grandpa can't go, here's a detailed address, you put your hand in the quilt......"
Xiang Yi put his hand deep into Xiang Gan's quilt, and the old man held Xiang Yi's big hand tightly like a withered hand, like a farewell before death, the old man's eyes were still so bright, and Xiang Yi even couldn't bear to look at his eyes.
Suddenly, Xiang Yi felt a cold grip being stuffed into Xiang Yi's hand, and Xiang Yi could feel the wildness and hideousness emanating from this grip through the quilt......
Xiang Yi looked up at the old man's radiant eyes, which seemed to be able to see infinite hope.
"Grandpa......"
The old man smiled kindly, and there were some fairy bones in his smile.
"I'm sure my grandchildren can survive this time... Piff is not guilty of his crimes, can't let anyone know about the existence of the Codex, remember? ”
"Well, remember, grandpa......"
"By the way, Xiao Yi, the codex was brought back by you at the scene of that cult, the girl who was sacrificed has a fate with you, and when you are safe, you might as well look for the information she had before she died, there may be information on the remaining pages, grandpa is old, and he seems to remember who she is......"
"Huh? Grandpa she ......"
"It doesn't matter, I'm out of time..."
The old man who felt that his time was approaching interrupted Xiang Yi's question, he didn't have time to answer Xiang Yi's doubts, so he could only try to finish what he wanted to say.
"Xiao Yi, grandpa thank you, thank you really much..."
"What did Grandpa thank me for?"
"You prove that Grandpa is right, they are all wrong... Hahaha... I'm right, they're all wrong, they're all wrong... Ahem... Old woman... Top dog... Dick: Third... You're all wrong..."
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
The old man cried as he spoke, like a child who had been greatly wronged, but Xiang Yi still didn't know the meaning of the old man's expression, maybe his thinking was confused before he died.
With the old man's violent cough, the face flushes abnormally, which is the reason for the decrease in the action of adrenergic receptors.
"Xiao Yi, those who can achieve great things are not informal, there is no one in history who founded the country in troubled times is benevolent, you have a higher starting point than others, in fact... When Grandpa was young... I've seen it... Personal letter... It..."
"What?!"
Xiang Yi looked at the old man who was still smiling and flushed in surprise, his expression and eyes were forever fixed at this moment, and his radiant eyes also faded.
The old man's words were obviously not finished, and the remaining words became a mystery and were taken away by the old man forever, Xiang Qian really couldn't hold on, and he could hold on until Xiang Yi came over, and he had exhausted his last resort.
"Drip ......"
Xiang Yi's tears rushed out of his eyes in an instant, and two hot tears fell on the hospital bed......
As the electrocardiogram pulled up the horizontal line and made a beeping sound, several nurses and doctors rushed to the door but were stopped by Zhao He at the door of the ward.
"The people inside are very dangerous! The old man had run out of oil and the lamp had dried up, and his grandson had been squatting in the trumpet for the rest of his life even if he wasn't shot, so it was a relief to die like this. ”
"Stand back, back away, we'll take people into it, you go do something else first, don't watch here!"
Zhao He's words Xiang Yi heard clearly, looking at the smile on the corner of his grandfather's mouth before he finally left, Xiang Yi's heart warmed for a while.
If Zhao He didn't drive these doctors and patients away from the door, he really wouldn't dare to be so unscrupulous in what happened next.
Everything here Grandpa Xiang Qian helped him set it up.
The old man not only left Xiang Yi a gun and notes, but also left him a key, all of which were hidden in the quilt of his hospital bed, all of which were calculated by the hundred-year-old man.
Kneeling on his knees in front of his grandfather's hospital bed, with his back against the door of the ward, Xiang Yi poked the key into the keyhole of the shackles......
"Click...... Click..."
Two crisp metallic sounds made Zhao He frown, and shouted: "Xiang Yi! What are you doing? Turn around! ”
Xiang Yi looked up slightly and saw this very ordinary mirror placed in the corner of his grandfather's hospital bed, where he could clearly see the scene behind him, but he couldn't see what he was doing through the mirror.
Zhao He pulled out his gun and slowly approached Xiang Yi with the three jailers who pressed forward, but he never imagined that the shackles that were still imprisoning Xiang Yi before had now become a murder weapon in his hands.
With the sound of buzzing through the air, Zhao He only felt a flower in front of him, and a warm salty liquid gradually entered his mouth, and in his eyes, he wanted to pull the trigger.
Exercise! Forget about insurance!
When Zhao He saw the scene in front of him again, the silver-white six-inch barrel with gray mold spots was coldly attached to his forehead.
Zhao He's psychological defense line collapsed in an instant, which ..... This is the famous Colt Python revolver.
Hell, where did he get it! This is contraband within contraband!
Zhao He's heart was flooded with bitter water, did the old calf lying there deliberately trap Lao Tzu to death?
Xiang Yi's expression was with a faint smile, as if he was laughing at a dog.
The three colleagues who had just been alive were lying motionless on the ground with bright red and white liquid flowing from their heads......
Zhao He had never felt that he was so close to death, as he grew older, the advantages of his profession, and years of alcohol addiction had already hollowed out his body, and he had lost the courage of his youth.
"You're a crime! You've violated ...... by doing so."
"I'll give you a suggestion, when you speak so majestically, can you not say it on your knees......"
"I ......"
"Shh......h I think you're still a little useful, don't be so anxious to reincarnate, can you be obedient? ”
"Can ......"
"I like to deal with smart people and people who know the times, how many days can you hold this down?"
Xiang Yi gestured at the room with the muzzle of his gun.
"One day...... Up to one day ......"
Zhao He's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible, if it weren't for Xiang Yi's unusually good hearing, I am afraid that he would not be able to hear what he was saying.
"That's enough time, you can follow me during this time, and now follow me to the city center."
Xiang Yi covered his hands with a hospital gown as if to cover the existence of shackles, but in fact, it was to cover the Colt python in his hand.
Bursts of screams and hoarse roars rang out from outside the ward.
"What's that?! Yes! ”
"Ah!!h
"Run!"
At this moment, there was a sound of broken glass and heart-rending screams at the end of the corridor outside the ward......
"! Fog ghosts! ”
