Volume XV

Twenty-nine dragons

Time. Like quicksand in your hands. Little by little, slipping through the fingers. Slip off imperceptibly. Another half hour passed. Zhang Hailin just watched Hou Min continue his unfinished ritual with a blank look. Holding Gu Ling, who was already sluggish, in his arms. For the first time. He felt so powerless. As if he could only be a bystander to a homicide case. Want to do something. But nothing can be done

"Is my sister and I just sacrifices?" Xiao Ling stared blankly ahead. Suddenly he muttered to himself." Grandma told me. Is that so. Mom and Dad really died, or abandoned us when we were born, it turned out that we were only born as sacrifices"

That moment. Zhang Hailin was shocked. He only felt a rush of blood rushing towards his head. It's too late to think. His body had already instinctively pounced towards Hou Min:

"Stop."

For Zhang Hailin's move. Hou Min was stunned at first. Then there was a contemptuous smile. Only one sideways. A leg lift. Zhang Hailin has already been kicked firmly in the lower abdomen. Holding his stomach and hugging on the ground. It hurt so much that I couldn't even scream

Hou Min smiled slightly. Contemptuously leaned down and attached himself to Zhang Hailin's ear:

"You're still useful. So don't kill you. Explorer. Hehe. You're just a tool that can be used by the government for the time being. Not even a dog."

A crisp slap sounded. People were stunned. Hou Min turned his face sideways. Rub your fanned face. The person who fanned her in amazement. To know. With her alertness and reflexes. It is absolutely impossible to be slapped so easily. This. It's just an insult. Across from him. It's Cheng Shuai with his head buried and his face black. Cheng Shuai slowly raised his head. When Dang saw those eyes. Hou Min didn't realize that a cold sweat broke out on his back. What a terrible look that is. The person in front of him couldn't combine it with Cheng Shuai, who usually had a hippie smile and a nervous heart.

"You are except for the pretending pure girl Hu Ling. Lao Tzu is the second woman who breaks the bottom line of principles and wants to fight." Cheng Shuai looked at her coldly. He said to him almost in a commanding tone." Apologize to Lao Tzu for him!"

Hou Min swallowed. Hurriedly turned to Chen Xingye. And glanced at Bi Chengcheng, who was stunned on the ground. Give Chen Xingye a look:

"What are you doing? Don't do it yet. Chopped off all the fingers of his apprentice's left hand. A warning to this Mr. Detective."

Chen Xingye looked at Bi Chengcheng on the ground. replied with a dark face. Shut up. Stinky three-eight."

"You." Hou Min was stunned. stared at Chen Xingye in surprise and anger.

Chen Xingye tilted his head. Avoid eye contact with her. But without making a sound, he took out the knife holder and put it on Bi Chengcheng's neck:

"Mr. Detective. I promised you wouldn't hurt anyone. But. Please also cooperate. Stop messing around. We've not gotten this far. If after going through so many visions again. I still let the regrets go back like this. I think. I can't ever forgive myself for the rest of my life. Thank you for your understanding. As long as you don't mess around. I promise no one will lose a hair."

"yes. CHENG Shuai. Although that eighth woman is so arrogant, I can't get used to it. But it's too much for you to hit a woman." Xun Qian crossed her hands. Shook his head." Besides, we just want to see if there really is such a magical creature (and by the way, some more valuable treasures).It's not a big deal.But we also know that with your temper, you can't say anything about the 'dragon sacrifice'. That's the only way to go. If you're honest, you'll just get it. Really."

Cheng Shuai turned his head. stared at Xun Qian without speaking. Suddenly, two lines of tears were revealed:

"Xiao Qianqian. My first love, Reserve Four. So do you."

“”

"It's done." Then. Hou Min behind Cheng Shuai suddenly said. Original. Just now, she took advantage of Cheng Shuai's distraction to complete the pattern needed for the ceremony, and Hou Min glanced at Cheng Shuai proudly. Cheng Shuai wants to do something. can hinder Bi Chengcheng's safety. I had to grit my teeth. turned around and helped Zhang Hailin, who was sweating profusely in pain. Silently stepped aside. Find a clean place to sit down. Close your eyes. It seems to indicate no more meddling

As soon as I heard it, it was said that the preparation was complete. Biological expert Liu Yibin is the most excited and conflicted one. He was looking forward to the creature's appearance. I'm scared again. In fact. He never believed in "dragon sacrifices", "dragon power", "mysterious tribes". All that he had experienced and heard along the way had made his heart extremely confused. And now. He can do it. Only waiting

Hou Min walked to the waterhole. Something muttered in his mouth. Suddenly, both hands pointed upward. Then. Something unexpected happened. The water in the pool suddenly burst out of the middle with her hand, and a column of water more than ten meters high. And this time. Definitely not fake. Because everyone clearly and truly felt the splash of water on their faces. The feeling of hitting the body. This time. It's true

Thirty Mysteries

Suddenly. The whole cave seemed to shake. Everyone present suddenly felt a sharp headache inexplicably. The pain is indescribable. It's as if countless ants are biting. It was as if it had been split by a knife. It's impossible to think. I can't open my eyes either. What's even stranger is . Everyone seems to be deprived of all five senses. Speechless. Unseen. Can't hear it either. It's as if everything is back to the time when it wasn't born

Cheng Shuai opened his hazy eyes. Found yourself lying on the verdant grass. Surrounded by heavy mountains. Beside him is a rattling stream. Overhead is a blue sky. White clouds. The smell of flowers wafts through the nose. Refreshing. Beside. It's the sleeping players.

"Young dragons. You're awake."

Cheng Shuai was stunned. Suddenly I heard this voice in my ears. He looked up. Slightly surprised. However, he quickly returned to his usual expression:

"Zhang waits. What is Zhang. it right in your mouth. The names of the supporting characters are too lazy to remember. What is Zhang. Wait a minute. It's almost coming out."

"My name is Zhang Huaitian."

"Damn. Don't tell Lao Tzu. It's almost coming out. Wait a minute. What is Zhang. Zhang Dandan. Zhang Xiaoniao."

"Young dragons. Have you found the answer in your mind?"

"Ahh I remembered. It's Zhang Huaidan."

Zhang Huaitian turned around. Walk slowly forward. Slowly disappearing into the landscape. But the voice echoed in Cheng Shuai's ears." Flowers bloom and fall into the air. Origin and extinction of a dream. O young dragons. Don't be obsessed with the mysteries of our people. Keep an eye on your side. The greatest darkness lurks in Si. The darkness of another baby dragon is about to pass. True darkness is coming. Take care of what you have to deal with. We won't be enemies for a while. Don't make any more moves like this one. Forget what you saw this time. What is heard. It's just a dream."

"Damn. If you guess the wrong name, you guess the wrong one. What are you doing with this bunch of inexplicable bird language," Cheng Shuai looked at Zhang Huaitian's distant back and said. Can be after. There was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth." I finally know who you are. Zhang Huaitian and Zhang Lu"

"Yawn." Then. The players next to them woke up one by one. Shook his hazy head. yawning one after another.

Cheng Shuai turned around. Looking at them with sleepy eyes:

"Hahahaha. It's really interesting. I wonder if we were teleported here by the 'power of the dragon'."

"'The Power of the Dragon'." Bi Chengcheng raised his head. looked at Cheng Shuai suspiciously. Master. What do you say?"

"Master." Cheng Shuai tilted his head and looked at Bi Chengcheng. And then without saying a word, it's a punch to walk up." I said don't call me Lao Tzu like that. Damn it. This reminds me of Lao Tzu's perverted master."

Bi Chengcheng covered his head. looked at Cheng Shuai with an aggrieved face:

"Yes. But I don't know. You didn't say I wouldn't call you that, so what should I call you?"

"Ahh

"Hmph. 'The power of the dragon'. ridiculous." Liu Yibin sneered after waking up. Turning his face to the side in disdain." Mr. Cheng Shuai. On the plane I don't want to argue with you. But first you talk about the existence of dragons. Now there is some kind of 'dragon power' for some reason, and the next sentence will not inexplicably say what the dragon apparilates."

"Damn. You little kid has lost your memory."

"Don't make a fuss. Let's go when you're rested." Chen Xingye had a calm face. Quickly tidy yourself up and pull out a map, right." Everyone was too sleepy last night. I'm going to let everyone go to bed first. After resting, we will set off for the ancient cave. But let's not forget that we're not here to play. Pack up and get ready to go."

"Yes." Gu Ling, who was beside him, agreed crisply. Then he got up and looked ahead." Sister. Wait for me"

Xun Qian and Hou Min both yawned at each other and woke up. Laughing and starting to pack your luggage. Cheng Shuai was stunned. He looked around. Fierce discovery. This is where you first got off the plane. Other words. This. It was the starting point, and Cheng Shuai looked at the busy players. I was at a loss for a moment. Don't. Everything before was a dream. Bart's scream at his feet pulled Cheng Shuai back to reality. Cheng Shuai shook his head. Hurriedly asked Bi Chengcheng:

"Boy. What time is it today?"

"Ahh Today should be June 30th."

"Thirty. That's not right. My electronic watch with the calendar says it's July 2nd."

"No, I won't. I also remember it was the thirties. Wait for me to check the phone. It also says it's July 2nd on my phone."

Tons. The players exploded like a pot. Talk. Can't figure out what's wrong. Cheng Shuai looked at them. Suddenly asked:

"Where is that guy Zhang Hailin?"

"Zhang Hailin." Chen Xingye frowned. Just wanted to ask something. Suddenly, the emergency contact next to me rang." Feed. I'm Zhang Hailin. Hello sir. Yes. Why. I got it, everybody. This time the operation was cancelled."

"What." The team members were taken aback. looked at Chen Xingye inexplicably. But the other party refused to give an answer.

Gu Ling was even more anxious and was about to cry. She couldn't help but step forward and grab Chen Xingye's shoulder:

"Why. What about my sister's whereabouts?"

"No comment. However, Mr. Zhang Hailin, the explorer who disappeared before, was sent back to the city last night. He is now recuperating in the hospital. Something about your sister. You can ask him again when you go back."

"Hum hum hey hey hahaha." Then. Cheng Shuai suddenly burst into a burst of laughter. Able to make people partially amnesia. Even drugs that can tamper with memories can't imagine that they really exist. Hahahaha. It's so fun."

looked at Cheng Shuai laughing inexplicably. Everyone else was curious. Don't know what he's talking about. And Cheng Shuai. But it is clearly understood. The memories of Hou Min after completing the 'Dragon Sacrifice' have been deleted or tampered with. And what is in that memory? Even Cheng Shuai didn't know

(Sigh. Readers. I'm afraid you won't understand or feel sorry when you see this. So here is a word for you to explain. Some readers may say that this is not a detective case at all. I'm very sorry. I wrote this case entirely because I had always wanted to write such a story. So everyone simply regarded it as a side story or a theatrical version like 'The Legend of the Mermaid'. As for whether there really are dragons. This question. I believe that it is not ordinary people like me who dare to give an answer casually. After careful consideration. That's what I said. Please understand)

At this time. In the villa of the popular singer Jiang Rongqin

"Ahh Jiang Rongqin woke up from the nightmare with a scream. Bean-sized beads of sweat continued to roll down his forehead. In a dream. The mother left behind. But because some people around him said that it would invite misfortune, the doll that was thrown away by himself was holding a sharp knife dripping blood. Yin smiled and approached her step by step, Jiang Rongqin gasped for breath. It's so easy to calm down. I can inadvertently turn my head to look. The doll was lying on her pillow. There was an eerie smile on the corner of his mouth

(Stay tuned for the next case: Evil Doll)
