Chapter 11, The Knight
Ye Xuan's hand flipping through the book stopped, looking at the book in his hand, to be precise, looking at a sentence written in the book.
"Knights, who represent fearless bravery, are synonymous with guarding important people."
"The knight, the warrior who represents the light, is the one who kills all darkness."
Ye Xuan's eyelids fluttered, looking at this passage in the book, his eyes flashed slightly, and a strange feeling rose in his heart......
(Guarded...... )
With a sigh, Ye Xuan closed the book in his hand, a little disappointed, but this did not exceed his expectations, if he could get clues so easily, it would be beyond his expectations.
I took out my phone and glanced at the time, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Touching his stomach, he didn't feel hungry at all, which was strange, he hadn't eaten for nearly nine hours.
Could it be related to the mysterious nature of his brain, or rather? Isn't he a human anymore?
There is no self-pity in his heart, he actually doesn't pay attention to the fact that he is still not a human being, what is it, what is not, it does not affect anything, people just need to be good enough to be themselves.
However, although he was not hungry at all, he ...... Ye Xuan glanced at Lan Xun, Lan Xun didn't seem to have eaten lunch either, it wasn't good to go down like this.
Ye Xuan put the book back, walked to Lan Xun's side, patted him on the back, and said softly: "Lan Xun, let's stop here today, and come back tomorrow to find clues about that pattern."
Lan Xun's expression was a little haggard, after three hours of high-intensity searching, his spiritual power was naturally consumed a lot, unlike Ye Xuan, who looked ordinary and was very energetic, it was estimated that it would be fine to look for another day.
"But...... No trace of that pattern has been found...... ”
"Do you still want to find clues in one day, it's impossible, if it were that simple, the police would have found it a long time ago, besides, after looking for so long, your mind and body are almost at the limit."
Lan Xun: "........."
"Well, I'm hungry, aren't you hungry?" Ye Xuan asked with a tired look.
Lan Xun raised his eyes, sighed, and put the book in his hand back in place: "Okay, let's be here today, let's go eat."
Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Lan Xun would continue to investigate, although it was only his whim that he proposed to come to the library to find clues.
However, even if he hadn't looked for it, he knew that there was a high probability that there were no clues that could be found here.
It would be better to find clues about the pattern in a different way, or pay a few detectives to help them find it, which should be more efficient.
The two men walked out of the library together, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the street than at noon, and the sun in the sky was setting to the west, turning orange-red.
It's nearly dusk.
"Why don't we separate here today, and go back to our respective homes?" Ye Xuan said to Lan Xun.
"It's okay......" Basket Hoon said with his head down, a little disappointed.
Ye Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, tomorrow we will look in another place, as long as we persevere, we can definitely find the whereabouts of my uncle."
"A different place? Where to go? Lan Xun asked.
Ye Xuan raised his head and fell into deep thought, he knew that Lan Xun was very anxious, but if he was anxious, he couldn't eat hot tofu, but he would burn his mouth.
"Hmm...... Did your father have any friends? Maybe those friends might have your father's whereabouts? Ye Xuan asked rhetorically.
"Father's friend? No, I haven't met anyone who has friends like my father, and I am afraid that my father doesn't have a friend in this city. ”
"I don't have any friends, I don't even have a friend, it's a bit of a problem......"
There is not even a breakthrough, this is not so much a disappearance, but rather that the uncle ran away from home with his own consciousness.
Damn, the clues found haven't been connected yet, and they're about to break......
"Ah, by the way, my father seems to have sent letters to someone before he disappeared, but the last letter seems to have not been sent for some reason." Lan Xun's words interrupted his thoughts.
Epistle? What age is it now, and there are still people sending letters to each other, is there any ulterior secret? Or is it ...... What was the accident that caused the letter not to be sent?
"Is the letter that your father didn't send now in your possession?" Ye Xuan asked.
Lan Xun nodded, and took out a white envelope from his pocket, which had been opened, and it seemed that Lan Xun had already checked the contents.
Ye Xuan looked at the envelope in Lan Xun's hand, and sure enough, there was the same power covering it as on that drawing, but it was much weaker than the power on the drawing, like the gap between a thin film and a thick wall.
For ordinary people, this membrane is absolutely impossible to break, this is the limit of life, but also the truth of the world.
However, for Ye Xuan, the properties in his mind now combined, he could almost destroy a building in an instant.
It's a terrifying power, but compared to the dog demon he fought, I'm afraid it's still a big step behind, and if the dog demon hadn't been restricted by the "rules", he would have been killed a long time ago......
Rolling his eyes, Ye Xuan glanced at the pedestrians on the street, and said to Lan Xun, "Let's look at it from another location."
Ye Xuan pulled Lan Xun towards a remote place and walked to a position with fewer pedestrians.
"Lan Xun, we're looking for your father, you'd better not tell a third party."
“…… Why? ”
"Keep an eye on it, okay, now you can show me the letter in your hand."
Ye Xuan took the white envelope in Lan Xun's hand, and when he saw the words written on the white envelope, his pupils shrank sharply.
"Left to my son, Lan Xun"
Lan Xun couldn't see this line, it was covered by a special force, not only the envelope, but also the letter inside was covered by the same power.
(I see...... It's not that this letter was not sent out due to an accident, but was originally sent to Lan Xun. )
"Lan Xun, have you read the contents of this letter?"
"Well, I've read it, it's just some inconsequential gossip written in it, and there is no clue about my father's disappearance, it's just an ordinary letter." Lan Xun said with a slightly disappointed expression.
"Ordinary letters...... Lan Xun, do you really think so? ”
"Huh? Isn't it? Lan Xun said suspiciously.
