Biljent got out of the car and staggered forward, waiting for the cab to disappear around the corner, looking around and making sure that no one was watching, before returning to open the old aluminum door of the garage.

Ten minutes later, he rejuvenated, drove a gray car to a wide street in the 15th arrondissement, threw the changed women's clothes into the trash, and headed for his destination. This time, he stopped hiding his tracks, drove straight ahead, and after two hours left the highway into a sparsely populated town, then drove through a wooded field onto a country road, and finally pulled over to the side of the road and into a lonely cabin.

The owner of the house, a thin old man, of medium height, a slave, in a wheelchair, saw Pergynt come in, nodded, led him into the tea-room, invited him to sit down at the tea-table, and said, "The tea is ready, and I will wait for you when I receive the call." ”

Pelgynt carefully looked at the tea room, which could be said to be empty except for tatami mats, tea sets, and tea tables, and remained vigilant in his heart. The old man lifted the teapot and poured tea into the two small cups, cleaned the teacups first, and said, "The room has been cleaned." I have a habit of cleanliness, and I hate it when I see dust in the tea room. So, you can enjoy your tea with confidence. ”

Perkin nodded, still took out a small detector from his clothes to probe inside and outside the house, to make sure that there were no hidden monitors, cameras and other dirty things, before relieving his heart, sitting at the tea table, and said: "I met someone on the airliner, a little uneasy, he left a little soon......" paused, and said. “…… It seems that they confirmed that you were okay and no longer spying on you. That's a good thing, you're finally free to live. ”

"Four months ago, I was given a surveillance order to revoke the order, but the monitors are still at home, and I have to report to the police station every month and apply for travel trips. But it's a bit more liberating than it used to be. The house has always been full of clutter, and I usually stay at home and rarely come to the tea plantation. Knowing that you were coming, I came over to sort it out in the past two days. ”

"It's hard work for you, it's bothering you."

The old man poured tea and brought one of the cups to Peer Gent, and then drank his own first sip to show that he had no other, and said, "This is autumn tea, and it is not as good as spring tea." It's just that I grew it myself, so I invite you to taste it. ”

"You've been living in a small town for so many years, so you probably like the quietness here."

"Yes, looking at the Los Mountain in the distance, I can't help but think of the Qiuzhi Mountain in my hometown, so I have a faint nostalgia. That's a comfort, guess. After all, that's enough for a sinful sinner. ”

Pergynt took out a photograph and put it in front of the old man, and the person in the photo was Minako. The old man didn't look at the photo and said, "You should have gained something by coming so quickly." Still, it might be better to go with the flow. ”

"As you said, some things are fate, fate is inescapable, and sooner or later you have to face them. Right? ”

The old man sighed, stopped talking, looked down at the photo, then sighed heavily and closed his eyes. Pergynt waited patiently. After a long time, tears flowed from the old man's eyes, and he muttered, "It's been two hundred years." ”

Two hundred years of sighs, what a heavy emotion, and what a memory that is difficult to restart, Pergent knows very well in his heart. He knew that if he were himself, he would inevitably sigh so deeply when he had to face the difficult past that spanned two hundred years. He felt a little abrupt for a while, and wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't find the right words, so he had to look at the old man silently.

After a while, he saw that the old man's mood had calmed down, and then he said, "Hirano said on the phone that an old friend is willing to see me. It's been two hundred years, and who wants to see me for such a long time? Thinking about it, it should be only you, but I really didn't expect you to be alive. I remember that the last time we met was in Okaya Prefecture 63 years ago. ”

"Yes, at that time, my mother passed away, and the prison authorities granted me parole to go home for my good behavior. It's so touching to have the privilege of meeting you through Hirano! As a Class C war criminal who has committed war crimes, it is a great grace to be able to survive in secret, and I can't imagine that you can forgive me, an old stubborn man who was on trial, regardless of his past suspicions. Alas, it's all shameful to think about it now. When I saw you in Ganglu that time, because I was still a prisoner, the people who monitored me were very unsympathetic, and they were afraid of causing you trouble, so they could only look at you from a distance, and I couldn't thank you in person, which was a deep regret. Now I can finally do it, but I want to......"

When the old man said this, he picked up Minako's photo and looked at it carefully, as if many things had been triggered by this photo, and his dry eyes became blurry, flashing a trace of imperceptible pain. After a while, he said again. “…… Regarding Ishii, although he and I are fellow villagers and have a superior-subordinate relationship, we can be regarded as his cronies, but we don't know everything. However, I can confirm that Minako is his daughter. This is not only because she looks like Ishii, but also because that's what my wife says. On her deathbed, she told me that I must find a way to find her. ”

The topic opened, and Pergynt knew that time was tight and didn't want to go around the bend anymore, so he simply asked directly: "Does Ishii have a son?" Rie was supposed to be pregnant with twins back then, and in addition to Minako, she also had a son. Is that right? ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "It turns out that you are so fortunate to go to Nagaxi Town, just to find out what is the relationship between the knife and Ishii?" No wonder he was in such a hurry to bring the video to me, and he hurried to it, not caring about the danger at all. Speaking of which, Ishii is absolutely true. During the war, his two sons died in Nanyang one after another, both of them died in battle, and I didn't hear my wife talk about having another son with Rie. After we were taken to Meiguo, there were no men in the village, and the women were able to make ends meet by helping each other. At that time, Rie was in childbirth, and my wife helped give birth. If I had a son, I don't think my wife would have known about it, and she wouldn't have hidden it from me. Ishii is not in good health, although he was released later, and he has lived in Meiguo for many years, he has always been single and has not had children. Therefore, the fact that he has a son can be completely ruled out. As for the knife face, how to say it, I watched the video repeatedly, although I was wearing a priest's costume, and it seemed that I was doing strange rituals, but that demeanor and gaze couldn't be changed! The difference is only in age and the presence or absence of scars on the face. Hirano has a low rank, and he only enlisted in the army a few years before the defeat, so he is not impressed and cannot be seen. But he was Ishii. When Ishii died, my wife helped to bury him, so there is no doubt about his death. However, this can only be measured by common sense. If he can resurrect the corpse, it will be a different story......"

"What? Wait a minute! What is the resurrection of the corpse? You mean Ishii can be resurrected? This...... How is this possible! ”

"Hehe, look at your expression, but it is exactly the same as the appearance of Shanmujun back then, he was also very surprised at the time, and shouted. Actually, the first time I heard Ishii, I was surprised and didn't believe it at all. ”

Pergynt suddenly remembered what Daii said about Minako's resurrection, he had always thought that Minako was just in a deep coma or suspended animation, and it was not even ruled out that it was a deliberate deception, so he could use some mysterious and cruel spell to save her. This is completely different from the resurrection, so I don't think about it at all, and in fact I can't think of it that way, because it's outrageous and not in line with science at all. Now listening to the old man's words, not only Minako, but I'm afraid that even Ishii himself has been resurrected. He couldn't believe it for a while, looking at the old man's demeanor, it didn't look like he was lying at all, and he was greatly confused.

"You may not know it, but Ishii has been studying rejuvenation and the like since he was a child. I remember that after we captured Longcheng, the officers and soldiers were busy killing people for fun, robbing property and women, but he went to the National Library and studied in it for many months. According to him, the Taigu Fengxing people passed down the nine divine arts, which are hidden in the "Three Graves", "Five Classics", "Eight Suo", and "Nine Hills", but most of them have been lost, and the Huaxu people have only been able to conduct qi and meridians so far, and they are all incomplete. He said that as long as he learned the art of rebirth, he would be able to live forever. People don't believe it. He said something in a hurry, and because it was very bizarre, and he said it cautiously, I have always remembered it. He said that the ancient Huaxu people had a book of "Yunqi Nine Signatures", and the ninth volume of the "Three Caves Secret Sect Department" interpreted the "Little Secret Notes" in the "Xuan Mystery", and there was such a passage: "The three emperors ruled the world, each received a volume, and the world was in an emergency, summoning the gods in the sky and the ghosts in the ground, all of them were envoys, called the three tombs; Later, there were eight emperors, and the second three emperors ruled, and they also ruled the world with the teachings of the gods. The first three volumes are said to be three refinements, the second three volumes are said to be three changes, the second two volumes are said to be two, and the eight volumes are called eight suo. It is said that the ancient scriptures make it clear that the scriptures of the "Three Tombs" are given by the gods of Fengxing, and if there is trouble in the world after enlightenment, the gods and ghosts can fight. How could such an earth-shattering skill be done if it weren't for the Nine Great Divine Techniques such as the Rebirth Technique? It must be true. He was very knowledgeable, quoted scriptures, and spoke the truth, and everyone began to believe it. When he went to Mayat Volcano without his life, he had something to do with it, claiming that if he obeyed God's call, he would be able to rise from the dead. So when it comes to resurrection or something, it's unbelievable to ordinary people, but for him, it's different. ”

"Oh my God, this is incredible! Is there really such a thing as resurrecting a corpse? Oh, my God! No wonder the bones are not in the right proportions, it was not him at all, but he used someone else's corpse to cover up his resurrection. By the way, I have always felt that there are too many doubts, many clues contradict each other, and they can't be connected in series, it turns out that the problem is here, and I can't think that he is himself who cuts his face! In this way, not only the more than 1,000 villagers in Nagasai Town, but I am afraid that even Rie was deliberately killed by him. Oh my, oh my God! When I was looking for the grave, I suddenly saw Rie's ghost, which I thought was a hallucination at first, but later I relied on her guidance to find the grave and the cave. She was bleeding from her face, and she should have died unjustly, so the apparition asked me to help her avenge her......"
