Volume III
Fifth, the past is like the wind
The mind gradually returned to reality. Tang Peng sat on the stone slab and looked around at the dilapidated scene here. Not so long ago it was a thriving square. A constant stream of people. Constant traffic comings and goings. Luxurious towering buildings, he sighed lightly. I couldn't help but smile again. He is now both the mastermind of the city's most recent bombings. Again the murderer of the city's senior police officer. Not to mention investigating and stopping the "Second Coming of Noah". I can't even find a place to hide. Even if we find out how the "Shadowless" will blow up the city and how to stop them. But. And who believes? Come to think of it. Tang Peng's heart sank. Looking up at the sky blankly. The sun seemed to be running away from his question. Embarrassed to hide in the dark clouds. It was getting dark. The dark cloud immediately turned into a greedy demon. Swallowed all the sun in one gulp. Two drops. Three tears of the sun turned into rain and fell to the ground. The more you stream, the more you go. The tears are getting bigger and bigger. Finally. It became a rainstorm
It's raining. Tang Peng buried his head. The eyes are fixed on the raindrops that keep falling. Let them hit their bodies. Slowly reach out and stroke those cold raindrops. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. It seems that he likes this feeling very much at the moment. And the raindrops also fell obediently into Tang Peng's palm. Slide down the palm print to the ground. The whole world is silent. There is only the "ticking" sound of raindrops falling to the ground. The more people are in quiet moments. The things that are least remembered are the more likely they are to slip into memory. Cheng Shuai's mutilated body before his death gradually appeared in his mind. The scene of pressing the button with his own hands turned into a sharp knife again** Tang Peng's heart. The vision is blurring. A sloppy and arrogant young man appeared more and more clearly in front of him. The other self also gradually appears in the rain. The two re-enact the past one by one: they set up the Ssangyong Detective Agency together. Fight for the gun cup noodles. Fighting for the division of the commission fee, Tang Peng quietly looked at the two living treasures. A fiery temper. Nerve bars. I'm going to pounce on it at every turn. A calm character. Serious and calm. often calmly steals each other's cup noodles. Tang Peng's face couldn't help but smile. I couldn't help but close my eyes and take a deep breath. The days we lived together were repeated: Bill's curse. The mystery of the murder room. Hospital Geist. Murder in a mountain village. The legend of the mermaid and the case of an experience keep coming to mind. Tang Peng held back tears. Open your eyes and look at this heavy rain. Countless memories of the past have been washed away. But in the depths of his memory, he drew a scar that could not be healed. Countless memories were blown away. But he left an eternal story to remember in his heart. He knows it. This time Cheng Shuai is really dead. And. Kill this partner you trust the most. The one who left this most important brother of oneself forever is himself. It's a button that you pressed by yourself. Tang Peng closed his eyes again. Let yourself wash in the rain
"The key to fate is in your hands. The wheel of life comes to an end with a nightmare. Choose between death and survival. Judgment ceases when it passes away" suddenly. A mysterious voice came from my ears. Tang Peng didn't look back. Because he knew that this tone and voice were unique to Zhang Huaitian. Zhang Huaitian slowly walked in front of him. Holding his hands behind his back and looking at Tang Peng." Flowers bloom and fall. Dependent origin and extinction. How to choose. It's all up to you and I to let Lu give you advice, and it doesn't seem to help you, the other young dragon still can't escape the fate of being devoured after all. You in front of my eyes. And they never grew up. Alas"
Talking. Zhang Huaitian turned around and prepared to leave. But a faint voice came from behind him:
"Cheng Shuai made the right choice. And I. The moment he killed Cheng Shuai with his own hands, he had already grown."
Tang Peng raised his head. Open your eyes slowly. Zhang Huaitian saw his face clearly. It was a face that was so calm that it didn't have any expression. But there is a lot written in his eyes. It was as if there was a huge feeling that was constantly pouring out. When you can look at it again. But there was nothing. It was an incomprehensible face. It's a look that you can't read. Zhang Huaitian was slightly taken aback. Although only for a moment. But even he felt as if there was an incredible force surrounding Tang Peng, and he had indeed grown. Zhang Huaitian smiled slightly:
"Good. The future becomes unpredictable again. Very good. That's good."
After speaking. He faded into the rain. It's as if it never appeared
Six strange old men
"Ahh Who are you. What do you want to do?" Xiaoshuang woke up. Suddenly I found myself in a field. There was a strange old man standing in front of him. He has a head full of gray hair. There are a few long white whiskers on the cheeks and chin. Dress like the ancients. It's already sixty years old. But the body is unusually tough. Standing straight in the middle of the rainstorm facing himself. Xiaoshuang couldn't stop shaking. Both because of fear. And because it's cold." You. Why are you kidnapping me?"
The old man glanced at her with a straight face. Xiaoshuang immediately didn't dare to speak again. Because that glance of the old man is enough to make anyone tremble:
"Phew. Kidnapping you. A kid deserves me to do it."
"That. So why are you?"
"If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense and annoy me." The old man's words made Xiaoshuang tremble even more. Tears rolled out of my eyes.
The old man didn't even care about her. Xiaoshuang sat alone in the icy rain shivering. Remembering what happened to me. Can't help but be even more sad. I didn't dare to cry out loud. I had to sobb desolately. And the old man didn't pay any attention to him. Standing still and waiting for something. Occasionally glance over:
"You little bastard. This little rain makes me cry. My apprentice Min learned to survive alone in the mountains when he was ten years old. I can't get used to you squeamish children. Get up for me. Do what I taught you."
The old man couldn't help but step forward and pull Xiaoshuang up. Xiaoshuang didn't have time to reflect. The body has become a cross-legged sitting position. Then I saw the old man unceremoniously grabbing his hand and dancing in front of his eyes like a fight. All she felt was a heat in her grip. The heat quickly flowed all over the body. By the time the old man let go, he didn't feel cold anymore. I heard a scolding at an inexplicable time:
"Who told you to put your hands down. Carry it up for me."
Xiaoshuang was startled. Hurriedly raised his hand. Don't dare to move. Oddly enough. As long as you maintain this position, your body will always feel like there is a stream of heat swimming. And I feel a lot more energetic. It's as if I have an inexhaustible strength. The originally sad face suddenly smiled:
"Wow. It's amazing. It seems to be making a martial arts movie. Ay. Isn't this a detective. When did it change style. Hee-hee. I can't imagine that there is such a goldfinger character in. In the future, as long as you hand over those bad people to him to solve, you can get it."
The old man didn't bother to pay attention to her at all. Still standing in the rain with a straight face. It's like waiting for someone. But after a long time, no one came. The old man's forehead was getting more and more bruised. Finally scolded into the air:
"Cheng Shuai, you are a bastard. Dare to trick me. See if I don't kick your detective agency."
"Huh. You're waiting for Cheng Shuai." Xiao Shuang was stunned.
The old man glanced at her. said with a cold face:
"I am the master of the eight lambs. He sent me an urgent message the day before yesterday. I want to bring you here and wait for him."
Behold. Xiaoshuang suddenly wiped his eyes. I looked at him repeatedly with incredible eyes. A conversation gradually appeared in my head:
"'What. You said you were going to find your master to protect me. Your conscience found out or suddenly show funny. I don't need any protection. All you have to do is help me find out who is my father's murderer.'"
'Damn. Do you think Lao Tzu is willing? Do you know that Lao Tzu lost all his belongings in order to ask that pervert to go down the mountain to help. You just have to be obedient to Lao Tzu, as for your father's murderer. That idiot Tang Peng will tell you then.'
'So what are you doing?' It's like it's none of your business in the future.'
'Lao Tzu has something to do. Probably out of the city for a long time less. Here are two letters. One letter to the perverted old man. One letter to Tang Peng, that idiot'
'Then you can at least tell me what your master looks like.'
'This perverted cockfighting eye. Perverted rosacea nose. Perverted buckteeth. The perverted trick ears are hard to see anyway. Perverted to the point of under-flattening.'
'Your master's appearance is really a miracle on earth'
'Okay. Come on. When the time comes, you'll definitely know who he is. That's it.'"
"What are you looking at me with those eyes?" The old man yelled at Xiaoshuang.
"It's fine. It's okay (it's not what Cheng Shuai said at all)." Xiaoshuang swallowed his saliva. Carefully took a letter from his bosom and handed it to the old man." Cheng Shuai said that there was something to leave. Let me give you this letter when I see you."
The old man snatched the letter unceremoniously. Two or three times to disassemble:
"You perverted old man. I'll never be angry with you again. Want to wonder why. Because Lao Tzu is dying. Hahahaha. I'll never be bullied by you again. Hahaha. How to feel like an idiot. Depend on. Don't talk about that. Do you know who killed me? I know you have a lot to do with Bird Shadow. I don't want to say anything. You will always be my master. Lao Tzu believes that the bastard things they do have nothing to do with you. I also know that your character is too lazy to care about them. Telling you about their recent plan didn't work. But. Master. I want to ask you to protect the little girl who gave you this letter (you think it's as simple as you to give you all your belongings and want you to help me get her out of the hospital), and don't tell her I'm dead
Other than that. I have an idiot brother named Tang Peng. If you guessed correctly. He must have been framed and is now in hiding. Find him. By the way, I also protected him. Because only half of the bank password is given to you. The other half is on him. Hahahaha. I can't think of it. Lao Tzu is really a genius. Hahahaha"
"You bastard." The old man tore the letter to shreds. But there was a small tear hanging in the corner of his eye." Those seven unscrupulous sons. You dare to touch my apprentice (no one can touch him but me), and it looks like you're getting impatient."
