Although the operation of Ta'er Lake, in which Xiao Mao participated, was very short, the story he told gave me a new understanding.

I always thought that the 5 I met, the mentally ill, was already a very, very bizarre thing, and I felt that the probability of this kind of thing happening was almost zero. But I didn't expect that I was not the only one who encountered this kind of thing, even Xiaomao's boss had encountered a similar situation.

It's just that the boss's situation is more dangerous than mine. When I met 5 and the mentally ill, at least I was able to make sure that we were safe with each other. And Xiao Mao's boss directly lives with the other party.

"At that time, I never understood how the two of them felt like they had a deep hatred as soon as they met, but afterwards, I probably understood." Xiao Mao said on the other side of the phone: "Have you ever thought that the two of them must die." ”

"Why?"

"Let's make an analogy, let's say that the boss who came from the camp is the real boss." Xiao Mao continued: "The boss who came out of the water is fake, when the real boss sees the fake boss, what he thinks in his mind is that if he doesn't do it, then this fake boss is likely to take his place and give orders in his capacity." They look so similar that I can't tell the difference, let alone anyone else. ”

"That's right." Listening to Xiao Mao's words, I remembered the conjecture I had made before: "The fake boss will not only give orders and order this team instead of the real boss, but he can also own the boss's property and own everything that originally belongs to the boss." ”

"That's right, so, the real boss will definitely do it. The fake boss may be for the purpose of self-preservation, or he may really have the idea of plotting the identity and industry of the real boss, he must also fight back, and the two are destined to only survive one, and there is no room for compromise and negotiation. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Mao sighed, I knew that he had left the boss and started his own new life, and the mystery of the real and false boss might never be solved. Xiao Mao has a deep relationship with the real boss, but he can't tell who is who, and he doesn't know whether it was the real boss or the fake boss who died in Ta'er Lake at that time, so he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"I don't think you need to think about this kind of thing anymore, because you know that there is no answer, and if you continue to think about it, there will be no results."

"Yes, I really shouldn't think about it anymore, after all, it was five years ago."

Xiao Mao and I changed the subject and stopped talking about his boss's story. Xiao Mao is an understanding person, since I mentioned Ta'er Lake, he knows that I must want to go to Ta'er Lake.

"I don't know much about the situation in Ta'er Lake, the time I spent there was too short, five years have passed, and I don't know what it was like over there, if you go, I can only provide what I know."

"I thought you'd tell me not to go."

"I'd love to persuade you, but I know I can't." Xiao Mao seems to be the same as before, he likes to laugh when chatting with people, and when he hears his laughter on the phone, I can make up my brain, he must be showing a mouthful of white teeth at this time, holding a cigarette, and squinting slightly: "Some people will not be entangled in whether this thing can be done or not, it may be active or passive, but as long as you make up your mind, you will move forward." Let's be arrogant, I'm such a person, and so are you, so I know it's useless to persuade you, all I can do is try to help you. ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

"You're welcome, a person who was born and died, it's too outrageous to say thank you. But ......" Xiao Mao paused and said, "I don't know exactly what you are going to do, but I just give you a small reminder based on my own judgment." ”

"What reminder?"

"I think every step you take, someone is guiding you."

"Someone is leading me......" I paused for a moment, but immediately reacted, Xiao Mao's words were not unreasonable. From the moment I first started to get involved in this matter, it was just like that, first the longevity box, then the old king, and then all kinds of clues that I had never heard of before were integrated by me in all kinds of unexpected ways, which was too coincidental.

However, I am now difficult to ride a tiger, and whether the road is led by others or not, I have to go forward.

"I don't know, so I can't say more, it's not a good thing that someone is leading, at least, you can take fewer detours."

Xiao Mao introduced me to the situation on the side of Ta'er Lake, as well as the approximate location of the equipment they didn't take away when they retreated last time, several years have passed, and some things are estimated to be unusable, but those sets of scuba are all Maozi goods, bulky but the quality is fine, and they may still be used. If there is water in Taer Lake during this time, then it will not be possible to do without scuba.

After all the introductions, Xiao Mao gave a little advice, Ta'er Lake is no better than other places, the number of people in the team should not be too small, and the team needs some experienced and skilled members, he may think that Lao Wang and Zhang Mo Moning kittens are not useful.

"That's really hard to find." I scratched my head, I really couldn't think of anyone else I could find to come over to help, my previous life was very peaceful and plain, the friends I knew were all ordinary people who were busy with life, they were not much better than Lao Wang and Zhang Momo.

"If your action can be postponed for a while, I can still help, but now I can't go out, the injuries on my body have not healed, and going out is also a burden to the team."

"You have a good rest, don't think about it so much just yet." I quickly interrupted Xiao Mao's words, Xiao Mao washed his hands and withdrew, for him, it took a lot of courage, and it also took a certain risk. He said that he wanted to open a small restaurant to make a living, and I agreed, and finally got on the right track, and I must not drag him into the water anymore.

After chatting a few more words, we ended the conversation, and before hanging up the phone, Xiao Mao said that he would be free in the future and let me go to his restaurant for dinner.

I chatted with Xiao Mao for almost two hours, and after hanging up the phone, the night was already very late, and the strength of the wine had passed for more than half of the time, and I felt a little hungry, and I wanted to go out for some supper.

I put on my coat and was about to open the door when the phone buzzed and vibrated to be a call from Zhang Momo. I guess she called me just now, but she was on the phone all the time, and as soon as I answered the phone, she complained very dissatisfied.

"I did have something to do just now, I was looking for someone to understand the situation, and I forgot the time when I chatted." I know Zhang Momo's temper, and I don't care about her, I said on the phone: "Mr. Zhang, what are your instructions?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense with me." Zhang Momo muttered, and then told me that she thought about it for a while, and felt that every time we went out to operate, there was always a lot of danger in the team, probably because we had fewer people and were not that kind of professionals.

"And what are your plans?"

"I'm going to find a way to hire a few people to help, people must be reliable, they are only responsible for taking money to do things, and nothing else, what do you think?"

"That's a good idea." I remembered Xiao Mao's suggestion just now, if our team can have a few good players, then the danger factor will definitely be reduced, but it is more difficult to find such a member, with good skills, and it must be reliable, don't be the same as Zhang Momo last time, the guide he was looking for was transferred as soon as he arrived in Tiger Ear.

Zhang Momo talked to me for a while and hung up the phone. I opened the door and walked out. The house I live in now is a very old unit building, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor don't work very well, and the lights are blind when I go out, so I stomped my feet hard, and the lights came on.

When the lights in the hallway came on, my scalp immediately went numb, and I could see a man crouching silently in the corner to the right of the door.

Immediately, my pupils contracted, and an indescribable feeling surged in my heart. The person squatting at the door turned out to be Lu Fangding.

My head buzzed around, I thought that I was moving back and forth to live, and my whereabouts were already secret enough, I didn't expect that Lu Fangding would be able to find my residence accurately in this situation.

What is he going to do?

I froze, motionless and looked at Lu Fangding. Lu Fangding also turned his head to look at me, at this moment, I suddenly had a vague illusion, I couldn't even tell the difference, the person squatting at the door was the selfish old man Liu in the countryside village, or the big man Lu Fangding.

Since Lu Fangding can find me, then if I want to run now, it is absolutely impossible. After a brief moment of consternation, I calmed down.

There was silence in the hallway, and the lights went out again. By the time I stomped my feet again and turned on the voice-activated lights, Lu Fangding was already standing in front of me.

This old thing!

The roots of my teeth are a little itchy, but I have to admit how good Lu Fangding's skills are. He was right next to me, but I didn't hear a single word, he was already standing in front of me.

If the light went out just now, if he had a knife in his hand and stabbed me in the vital point, would I be able to dodge it?

"You're done calling?" Lu Fangding asked lightly.

"It's over." I don't have much affection for Lu Fangding, although he didn't directly deal with me like Zhao Sanyuan, but I can't forget that I was involved in this incident, starting with the longevity box he brought: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Come out and move your muscles." Lu Fangding glanced at me from top to bottom and said, "Take you somewhere, do you have the courage to go?" ”

I don't know what Lu Fangding means, and I don't know where he's taking me. But at least one thing, I can imagine. Lu Fangding shouldn't do anything to me for the time being, if he wants to do it, he already knows where I'm hiding, and I can't compete with him even if I have three heads and six arms.

"Isn't guts all practiced slowly?" I was indeed very curious in my heart, curious about why Lu Fangding met me in this way, and I also wanted to know where he was going to take me: "Let's go, follow you to have a long experience and practice my courage." ”

"Let's go." Lu Fangding turned around and went downstairs, I followed him, and a thought came to me involuntarily.

No wonder Zhao Sanyuan has not been able to fight Lu Fangding for so many years, Zhao Sanyuan has Zhao Sanyuan's strengths, and Lu Fangding also has the advantage of Lu Fangding, at least at this point, Lu Fangding is stable Zhao Sanyuan. Lu Fangding didn't force me at all, but I willingly followed him.
