Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Three
After saying that, he looked at me again, as if to tell me that the secret had been kept for me, so that I would not do that in the future.
Then the old dog pulled Wang Zhengqing up, and then we began to question why the old dog wanted to say goodbye.
After all, we are also his teammates, and when we are together, everything is easy to solve, but if we act separately and don't say hello in advance, it will inevitably mean a crisis of confidence.
It's good for me, I'm just a newcomer, just a temporary member of the spirit case team, but Wang Zhengqing is different, he and the old dog are both from the last war, they have experienced post-war trauma together, experienced psychological treatment together, and finally were appointed by the spirit case team headquarters to form a new eighth group.
It can be said that they should have established a deep relationship, Wang Zhengqing was still in a coma at that time, and the old dog should not leave him alone.
Although Mo Xiaoyun and I are both here, Mo Xiaoyun is an outsider, just a little girl, and I, except for the use of force to deter Agent 7 at the airport, I basically have nothing to contribute.
If the old dog wants to solve the problem well, he should stay and face it with us, after all, escaping will not solve the problem.
He can only keep us safe for a while, but in the future, he will only become more and more unclear about the spirit team.
However, in the face of our doubts, the answer given by the old dog was the same as we had expected.
He said it was to keep us safe and distract Agent 7.
We can barely accept such an answer, after all, this is what we envisioned before, but to be honest, when we meet each other like this, he still says this, which is a bit too much, at least it doesn't make us feel his sincerity.
If nothing else, at least make it clear, right? A sentence to ensure our safety is over? If we needed him to protect our safety, then Wang Zhengqing and I would not have been able to get out of the airport at that time.
"Old Qin, although we know that you are for our good, doing so will only put us in a dilemma."
After speaking, Wang Zhengqing continued: "You saw that you took away the satellite communication phone, but why didn't you contact us?" Do you know that after you left, Agent 7 and Wu Dezhou came to look for us. ”
Wu Dezhou, that is, the name of the goatee, when he was on the road, Wang Zhengqing told me about him, saying that this guy's traditional martial arts have been practiced to the extreme, and no one in the emergency control department is his opponent.
At the time, I still thought it was very mysterious, and the goatee didn't look very old, so why was his attainment in martial arts so deep.
If he is really that powerful, he should be able to do it when he is in the safe house, after all, force is the best deterrent, and he is fully capable of arresting us all.
There are only two possibilities for not doing it, one is that he has discussed with Agent 7 before he comes, which proves that the attitude of the headquarters or the attitude of Agent 7 has indeed changed;
The second is that he is also very jealous of me, after all, when I was at the airport, I made a deep impression on Agent 7, or... Shade.
But none of this has anything to do with the old dog's resignation, and it will not be a reason for us to justify him in our hearts.
When I was bored in the car today, I also chatted with Wang Zhengqing, and I said how we should deal with the old dog if it suddenly appeared.
He said that this time the old dog broke his heart, he thought that the old dog took away the satellite communication phone in order to contact us, but the result was not able to contact us at all, so that he was empty and happy, and the next words 1 was probably that he felt that the old dog had changed, and no one trusted him, or that we could not trust the old dog.
There are all kinds of signs that there is still a crisis of confidence between these two people, and what can I say as a bystander, my purpose is only to find out the truth, so it is not enough to say that I also feel that I have been deceived by the old dog, but he did not take into account our feelings when he did it.
But the old dog said that he was in a hurry and may have broken the satellite phone.
"I didn't want Agent 7 to have a conflict with me when he found you, and then it would be difficult to deal with this matter."
He continued: "When I went to the safe house, I deliberately avoided the surveillance, so they couldn't find me, but after you came, the safe house was exposed, and if I didn't leave, when No. 7 and Wu Dezhou came over, I'm afraid the outcome would not be so clear." ”
In a way, this is indeed the case, the old dog is not there, so I have enough time to have a fight with No. 7 and Wu Dezhou, but if the old dog is here, if we don't let No. 7 and Wu Dezhou arrest him, then we will do it directly, and at that time, the situation will not be like it is now.
He is right, but the crisis of confidence has unfolded, and even if some words are clear, they are not a taste.
"Okay, I fainted just now, if it weren't for Zhang Yao, I guess I wouldn't have been able to escape this catastrophe, what's the situation now?"
In the end, it was Wang Zhengqing who took the lead in breaking the awkward silence, he turned around the altar twice, and finally said: "Let's see if there are any clues that can be used, it seems that the seventh altar has been successfully sacrificed, and we are one step late." ”
Then I nodded, shared the information we had come into contact with, and asked him what he had found to tell us.
As a result, he was stunned for a moment and said, in fact, it was nothing, just remembering the several strongholds he often investigated when he was acting with the six groups before, and then he continued to touch and investigate, but he didn't expect to bump into the two people just now, so he followed.
"Gone?"
"No, these guys are very cunning, let's see what is worth paying attention to at the scene."
After saying that, the old dog changed the subject.
I wanted to continue to ask forcibly, but Wang Zhengqing stopped me, he didn't tell me directly, but gave me a look, the scene was very dark, so I didn't know if I was interested.
Indeed, you shouldn't ask any more questions at this time, otherwise you will be embarrassed again.
But I didn't tell him all about what happened just now, for example, the snuff bottle, I wasn't going to tell the old dog, after all, the snuff box found in the General Bureau, the one with black smoke in it, I didn't tell him, and this secret only belonged to me and Wang Zhengqing, so I found the snuff box on the altar, and the two little minions were also looking for the snuff bottle, so I naturally could only tell him.
But I also know that the consequence of this is that in the end, we both cheat on each other, and that's when it's the most embarrassing.
It's just the same thing, even if you do it repeatedly, it can't be perfect.
I don't want to have a clear conscience, I just want the result to be good for everyone.
So I didn't ask the old dog any more, and I hid something.
It's just that there are no key clues left at the scene, after all, after the altar is over, there are some things that have been removed by them, and even if something is left behind, someone will come back to pick it up.
So it's hard to find any key clues after the sacrifice is over.
To put it more bluntly, we are very passive now, even if we can find them every time, it is also a passive find, just like the previous six times, the six groups and the old dog, each time they found the location of the altar after the sacrifice was over, and almost all of them were cloudy, this is very problematic, which proves that they are not looking for traces of heavenly power at all, but the person who arranged this altar, and then circled them, and encircled them all.
So, if we keep one step behind, even if it's just this one, all the efforts will be in vain.
The only thing that can break this cycle is that we can take the initiative and find the altar one step ahead of them, for example, by grabbing an existing one before the sacrifice begins.
No matter how difficult it is to find their hiding place, based on those runes, I can already deduce that the purpose of the Heavenly Power to set up the altar and slaughter so many innocent beings to complete the sacrifice is to pray for the power of eternal life to their faith, and this power of eternal life, that is, the Holy Dew, has been transferred to the blood jade in some form.
This also explains clearly, there is some kind of mysterious gem in the blood jade, which is the same as the result we investigated in Xinjiang City, so ......
Just as I was pushing down, the old dog barked at us.
"Come and see, what is this?"
We hurried to his side and found him holding an ancient coin in his hand, which he looked at amazingly.
I knew this thing, so I said that this is not an ancient coin, I don't know what age it is, and it shouldn't be very valuable.
"No, it's not, it's paper."
Wang Zhengqing's addition made me stunned for a moment, and then the old dog also nodded.
"That's right, it's paper, for the dead." After the old dog finished speaking, he pointed to the ground again, and by the way, he shone it with the bright light of the flashlight.
On the ground, there are many ancient coins like this, I quickly picked up a few pieces, and found that they were indeed paper, this thing is really the kind of thing that is burned for the dead? Even the back of the ancient coin is printed with the Bank of Heaven and Earth, which is really funny.
It's just that I don't understand, something is wrong, no matter which part of the altar is, there is no need to burn this thing, or even taboo, because the altar sacrifice is such a process from birth to death, if you burn something to the dead, it will break the cycle, just like breaking Feng Shui, and the consequences will be very serious.
No, they all immediately asked me if I didn't need this thing for the altar? I told the truth, and even said some serious consequences.
"And how can this thing be here?"
We asked this question almost at the same time, and almost at the same time, we thought of a place.
Mass graves, mass graves very, very close to this bamboo forest.
