Chapter 18: He's Dead
"Don't think about it, it's not dangerous for Master Xuanzang, it's not dangerous for you?"
On the way back, Zhou Zhenguo comforted Xiao Chu, "Young people, you must be down-to-earth, look to the future, and never indulge in the gains and losses of the past, you know?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Xiao Chu replied helplessly.
He understands the truth, but his heart hurts.
Just like a year ago, playing games at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the promotion match from bronze to silver, and suddenly received a call from his girlfriend at the critical moment of playing a group.
resolutely chose to abandon his comrades.
As a result, there was a wheezing and panicked sound of "I made a mistake, I accidentally pressed it, I was running at night".
The promotion was not successful, and it hurt as much as when I was given a hat.
After that, Xiao Chu became a man who "I choose Zhao Xin".
"By the way, this is the information of the members of the organization, as well as the high-level personnel, I'll tell you later."
Tang Luo, who was walking in the front, stopped and turned around, took out the documents and materials and sent them to the two of them, "Let's find an opportunity to completely destroy this organization." ”
Leading people to goodness and mobilizing others to punish evil and promote good will also reap the power of merit.
"Master!"
Xiao Chu's "tiger body was shocked"!
him, the great-master, the wise man.
In the future life, at least for this mission, the basic principle of the next step is to hold Master Xuanzang's thigh tightly and not relax.
"Master, where are we going next?" After taking the information and putting it away, Xiao Chu leaned over to Tang Luo and asked.
"What do you think?"
Tang Luo asked.
Although he was the master when he traveled west, in fact, Tang Luo did not have any consciousness as a leader.
The daily routine is basically "go west, cultivate, encounter demons and monsters, and kill!" process.
It's simple and rude, and you don't even need Tang Luo to care about the direction of progress.
With the little white dragon GPS accurate positioning, you don't have to worry about getting lost and other problems.
"Master, you have the final say."
Xiao Chu said, from tonight onwards, only Master Xuanzang will look forward.
Tang Luo glanced at Xiao Chu twice.
What's going on?
What about today's daytime "Subjective Monkey King"?
A good child, how can you say that it is wasted?
After all, he was not his own apprentice, and Tang Luo didn't bother to remobilize Xiao Chu's subjective initiative, he looked at Zhou Zhenguo and asked, "What does Master Zhou think?" ”
"Let's go to the inn and meet the others." Zhou Zhenguo said, "The two accidents were at night, and until now, we haven't even touched the shadow of the ripper, and we are completely in a passive state." I think it's going to be Jack the Ripper at night, and we'd better be investigating during the day. ”
"If things aren't right, we can even use the organization a little bit and force them to track down Jack the Ripper together."
Without the help of external forces, it is also based on the fact that the gods and demons can complete the task "independently" when they walk.
Unable to do so, or in great danger themselves.
Fools will continue to stick to the rules.
Besides, it's not a rule at all.
It's just a choice that I hope can maximize the benefits.
Outside the hotel on the street, Xiao Chu slammed the door: "Boss, boss open the door!" ”
It's different from the previous hotel.
There is no small courtyard in this inn, it is just a house facing the street.
Open the door and enter the "lobby".
Next to it are some shops.
Although it wasn't long in the night, the shops around it were closed.
Along the way, I only met a few people, and I still walked together in a hurry.
Seeing Tang Luo and the others, he seemed a little vigilant.
The street lamps on the side of the street emit a dim glow.
There was no curfew in Grand Field, but the town was depressed and even deadly.
"Open the door, we booked three rooms!"
The door was smashed for a while, but there was silence inside the inn, and no one came out to open the door.
It's impossible for this hotel to be crowded 24 hours a day.
But it's barely nine o'clock in the evening.
Generally speaking, it is at least midnight that the innkeeper or waiter goes to rest.
In the first half of the night, there will be no direct rest.
After all, there are guests who have opened three rooms today.
It's normal to close the door to the outside world, but Xiao Chu slammed the door so loudly that even in the house next to it and opposite, someone opened the window and came out to take a few looks.
There was still no response from the hotel, and something was wrong.
"Stand back."
Tang Luo said, stretched out his hand, and directly pushed open the door of the hotel.
The lights are on in the front desk lobby.
But something seems to have gone wrong, flickering like crazy.
Zhou Zhenguo and Xiao Chu both narrowed their eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable.
There was no one behind the counter.
On the table in the corner, there is a figure lying on his stomach.
He sat in a chair, face down, his face completely buried in the crook of his arm.
Under the flickering light, it was impossible to tell who this person was, but the figure felt slightly familiar.
"It seems to be Xiao Zhou, why does he sleep here?"
Xiao Chu squinted his eyes and said.
The person lying on the table is not dead.
Instead, he slept on his stomach, and the three people who walked into the hotel could hear a clear snoring sound.
It is "complementary" with the flickering lights overhead, and the perfect match.
"Probably resting and falling asleep here?" Zhou Zhenguo guessed, took a few steps closer, and then stretched out his hand suddenly.
The sound of metal colliding.
The chain burst out of thin air from the ground, instantly wrapping around Xiao Zhou, and fixing it high on the table along with the chair.
“……”
Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that it was Zhou Zhenguo who made a move.
This uncle really likes to do surprise attacks.
This is also normal, Zhou Zhenguo's imprisonment chains are not suitable for frontal combat.
Naturally, I developed the habit of "suddenly sneaking up in the middle of talking".
Why fight if you can solve it by sneak attack?
Inexplicably bound in chains.
Xiao Zhou also woke up, raised his head blankly, glanced around, and only stopped when he saw Tang Luo, and he didn't seem to wake up at all.
The bloodstained appearance on his face made Zhou Zhenguo and Xiao Chu's faces awe-inspiring.
"What's going on? How did you fall asleep here? What about the others? Didn't you hear us call just now? ”
Zhou Zhenguo asked questions like a cannonball.
Xiao Zhou didn't seem to be completely awake yet, and looked at the three of them with wide eyes.
turned a deaf ear to Zhou Zhenguo's questions.
It was a few seconds before he opened his mouth and was about to say something.
Right now.
A cold wind from nowhere blew through the room.
An icy chill spread in an instant.
It was like a huge ice vault opened, throwing Zhou Zhenguo and them into it.
"It's so cold......"
Xiao Chu instinctively wanted to hold his arm.
This move, in exchange for a feeling of innumbness.
He was horrified to find that he had lost control of his arms!
Except for the expression on his face, which is still in a "free state", the rest of his body seems to be frozen.
and like an insect in amber.
"Ahh
Xiao Chu let out a silent roar in his heart.
It's horror, it's anger!
Immediately after, a warm current suddenly emerged from his chest and flowed to his limbs.
Dispels cold, numb feelings.
Let Xiao Chu regain control of his body.
Tang Luo consumed the power of merit to bless the protection on his body and played its role.
The same is true of Zhou Zhenguo next to him.
The psychiatric hospital has no use of protection, and it is consumed here.
"Ripper?!"
The angry Zhou Zhenguo roared and looked at the corridor on the other side.
On the steps up, on the platform at the turn, there was a person standing at some point.
Most of his body is hidden in darkness and shadows.
makes people can't see the appearance clearly, and reluctantly judges based on body shape and posture that it should be a man.
The cold wind that filled the room hit like a tide just now, suppressing Zhou Zhenguo and them to be unable to move.
And when this man appeared, he receded like a tide.
Retreating towards the man, it was as if he had reabsorbed into his body.
Zhou Zhenguo had just finished roaring when he felt a silver light flash in the corner of his eye.
The man standing on the turning platform of the staircase "fluttered" to the side as if he had no weight.
Silver light streaked across him.
Piercing into the wall behind him, his tail shuddered and made a metallic trembling sound.
It was a table knife.
Before the trembling tail stopped, a few more silver flashes flashed.
The table knife on the table next to him was thrown out by Tang Luo one after another.
The man's body moved like a ghost, looking as light as a feather, but extremely fast.
It gives people a strange sense of disobedience that wants to vomit blood.
He headed for the stairs and left.
This is a corridor with a 90-degree turn.
The platform at the turning point, Tang Luo and they can still see it.
But keep going up, and you're out of sight.
The man disappeared from sight, the last silver light flashed, and everything was calm again.
Only the overhead light was still flickering.
Xiao Chu and Zhou Zhenguo stood still and did not move.
The breath or some kind of ability alone suppressed the two of them like quails.
Even if the other party retreats, how dare Xiao Chu and Zhou Zhenguo chase after them?
Not to mention, Zhou Zhenguo also used up the confinement chain in advance.
The strength has been greatly reduced.
Among those present, it is estimated that only Master Xuanzang has the ability to follow up.
Tang Luo didn't move, Zhou Zhenguo and Xiao Chu definitely wouldn't move.
"Master, was that Jack the Ripper just now?" Xiao Chu asked, his right hand almost covering his eyes.
The flickering lights made him feel like he was about to go blind.
Zhou Zhenguo walked to the switch on the side, pressed it twice, and unexpectedly returned the light to normal.
"It's not."
Tang Luo shook his head slightly.
"Master, are you so sure?" Zhou Zhenguo said.
"If it's Jack the Ripper, we should have done the job." Tang Luo said.
"Huh?" Xiao Chu and Zhou Zhenguo don't know why.
Tang Luo pointed to the hole in the opposite wall: "The poor monk hit him, he is already dead." ”
Zhou Zhenguo found that there was a hole in the corner between the wall and the ceiling.
That's the mark left by the last dinner knife.
"I'll take a look."
Zhou Zhenguo still has this courage.
He walked briskly up the stairs, and then the voice came: "It's Old John!" ”
At the junction of the staircase and the second floor, there was a corpse whose body had been almost split in half.
"Xuanzang style" hit.
It's hard to imagine that this is a wound that a small dinner knife can cause.
The knife was nailed to the ceiling.
And the strange thing is that the corpse did not shed a single bit of blood.
Zhou Zhenguo recognized it, this was the old John they had just met in the morning, and he thought that there was no suspicion and his legs were inconvenient.
Squatting, Zhou Zhenguo took off Old John's shoes.
I don't know if the deformity of one foot is caused by congenital or acquired injury.
But it is certain that this is indeed a foot with limited mobility.
With such a foot dragging, no matter how fast it is, how fast can it go?
But just now, Old John showed a ghostly power of action.
This deformed foot, like a smiling face, mocked Zhou Zhenguo for their stupidity and self-righteousness.
