187. The deceased
The madman's nonsense did not arouse the suspicion of the other party, and soon the door slammed shut, and the madman came over with his shoes on his feet, and I made a silent gesture to him and pointed to the elevator. After walking into the elevator, the madman finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you know him?" I nodded silently, his eyes widening: "Then why don't you come out and speak?" ”
I smiled, a slight bitterness somewhere in my mouth.
Five minutes later, the madman made a bitter face, and stood with me in the darkness diagonally opposite the hotel, muttering: "It's all confirmed that we know each other, why don't you just find someone and stay downstairs?" ”
I didn't look at him, my eyes were fixed there, "You can go back to the hotel first, you don't have to wait for me here." ”
The madman shook his head like a rattle: "No, I can't leave you alone." I frowned when I heard this, and I couldn't figure out why this person couldn't get rid of it. But it didn't take long for me to be speechless, for the man who had sworn that he would not leave me alone sat on the floor and leaned against the wall and fell asleep, snoring loudly.
I thought I would stay up until dawn, but after a day in the car, my body was very tired, and I felt sleepy when I listened to the cry of the madman. But a nerve seemed to be being lifted all the time, so when the figure reappeared, I was awake.
Seeing that the other party was coming in my direction, I sat down and leaned next to the madman, and buried my head in the collar.
As his footsteps became clearer, there was a noticeable pause and a gaze swept towards him, but he only stayed for two seconds before moving away, and his footsteps passed. When I had counted almost the steps, I raised my head, stared at the slightly faster figure, hesitated for a moment, and then got up to catch up. I didn't try to wake up the madman, firstly, with his snoring strength, I guessed that the thunder would not hit, and secondly, I didn't want him to stick in the way.
I didn't chase too closely, and I understood earlier how sharp the nerves of these people were, and they had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Try to reduce the sense of presence, so that even if the other party turns back defensively, it is not appropriate to detect yourself.
At this time, the sky is white, and it is faintly visible that there are cleaners sweeping the floor on the side of the road, and the doors of the shops are closed on the side of the street where the leaves are sparsely scattered, and only an old Chinese medicine acupuncture shop is hidden. Just like at night, I pushed open the door of the acupuncture shop and heard a wind chime above my head, and the smell of Chinese medicine came to my nose. When I looked up, I saw an old bronze wind chime hanging above the lintel.
The room was dim and dark, and a voice came from somewhere: "The door hasn't opened yet, let's come back later." "I followed the sound, and judging from the direction of the sound, it was probably coming from the east corner of the inner room, but it was dark and I couldn't see it clearly.
deliberately lowered his voice and slowly spoke: "I need acupuncture." Two more words were added: "Very urgent." ”
After a moment's suffocation, the voice asked, "What does it hurt?" ”
"Cervical vertebrae."
"Wait, I'll help you ask." As the words fell, a short black shadow walked out of the corner of the east wall and walked towards the back room. Judging from the walking posture, it looks like an extremely old man hunched over and walking slowly. Seeing that the dark shadow was about to disappear in the dark, I suddenly spoke: "Don't pretend anymore, it's you." ”
The space is silent, and the long-term stagnation is very exciting.
Finally, a low sigh came, and the short black shadow slowly straightened up, changing from the old man just now, and his voice was clear: "How did you see it?" I said, "A person can change his voice and shape, but he can't change his breath." ”
With a chuckle, he stepped out of the shadows, "You've learned to distinguish others with your breath too?" "The glimmer of light from outside the door came in, and the first thing that came into my eyes was a black shirt and dark trousers, and my heart skipped a beat for a moment. But when the eyes were fixed on that handsome face, they regained their composure.
I haven't seen you for a year, the old man, and the scenery is cold.
That face did not have the banter and sorrow when he first met, as if time had passed, and he had become more mature than before.
The two of them spoke at the same time, and he asked, "Why are you here?" I asked, "You opened the acupuncture practice?" ”
Then he was silent, and after half a minute, Luo Jinghan opened his mouth first: "It's a friend's shop, call me to come over and help take care of it for a day." I took a step forward to control my breathing and asked, "Which friend?" ”
Luo Jinghan smiled, "A friend you don't know." ”
I paused, and after a long silence, I said, "Then I'll wait here, my cervical spine has been hurting so much lately, I have to take physiotherapy." In order to be realistic, he also raised his hand and stroked the back of his neck.
"Are you really coming to see a doctor?" There was surprise in his voice.
"If I say it's a coincidence that I met you, would you believe it?"
He shook his head and said decisively: "Don't believe it." Seeing that I was silent, he said, "Xiao Xia, this is really a friend of mine, not him." I also smiled when I heard this: "I just want to treat cervical spondylosis, what are you in a hurry to clarify?" ”
Luo Jinghan's expression froze, and I coldly threw another sentence in silence: "Since you are still covering up, why do you want to bring me over?" He gasped and looked at me in amazement: "How do you know? ”
How will you know? Because it was too smooth, and his actions were inconsistent.
"If you don't know I'm following you, you don't have to pretend to be an old man after you enter this acupuncture parlor; By extrapolating from this, you must have noticed me a long time ago, when you looked at the darkness where I was for a moment near the hotel? ”
Luo Jinghan shook his head: "Earlier." In the middle of the night, there was an inexplicable knock on the door, and I went down to the bar and asked to find out the appearance of the two of you. ”
I couldn't help laughing, I was really anxious to go to the doctor, and I also voted for the quack doctor of the madman. While asking him to test the customers of Room 301, how could he not get to the bottom of it with Luo Jinghan's vigilance? And the image of the madman is so impressive that it is difficult for the staff to lose their memory for a short time. I thought that I was sitting on the ground like a madman, like a wanderer or a drunkard, but I didn't know that I had already fallen into the eyes of people with a heart, but I was caught here.
Since it is spread out, it also saves a lot of trouble: "Say, why did you bring me here?" ”
Luo Jinghan pointed to the only chair in the dim light, "Let's sit down first." "When I sat down, I saw him open the door and open the closed window, and the room was bright. I looked around, I had never seen how other acupuncture tubes were laid out, but there were some discrepancies from my impression, except for the smell of Chinese medicine wafting in the air, it was a very ordinary room, and there were no utensils or medicine cabinets or anything.
"Which part hurts?"
I raised my eyebrows and watched him pull up his sleeves, "Do you know how to do acupuncture?" ”
He smiled and said, "Acupuncture can't be, it can be done a few times." If you really have cervical spondylosis, it is best not to use acupuncture in the early stage, and massage can be effective. When he really wanted to reach out, I stepped back and avoided it, and when my patience came to the end, I said with a cold face: "Since you brought me here, you can tell the purpose, there is no need to fix all these things, I still have something." ”
"What's the matter?"
I narrowed my eyes, and doubts became in my heart, could it be that the Bai Yu case was really related to them? But how is that possible? I really don't believe that they will do such things as smuggling white jade and trafficking men and women. I chose to trust my instincts, and even though it was ridiculous for me to use my intuition on them, I didn't believe that I had lost even the ability to make simple judgments. It's not that they don't have the intelligence to do such a crime, but in fact if that person wants to, sin will take precedence over justice.
Here's the thing: he doesn't disdain! He once said that cats and mice prefer to be cats.
Swept away the distracting thoughts in his heart and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt something strange behind him, and before he could turn around, he felt a stinging pain somewhere in his neck, and a slender leg was glimpsed in the corner of his eye. The drowsiness was only in a second, but the consciousness had not yet deviated, and when he rolled to the ground, he heard Luo Jinghan's startled voice asking: "Why do you ...... her?"
Before he finished speaking, he was cut off: "Han, you are confused and lure her here?" ”
I sighed in a drowsiness: Why did I forget that there must be a Quxin painting where there is a falling scene? If you are careless enough to do so, this should be the end. But I don't know why, listening to the sound of Qu Xinhua's voice, the spatial distance doesn't seem to be so close, maybe it's because of the medicine injected into my neck.
Later, the consciousness gradually sank, and I only vaguely felt that my body was being moved, but the external sound was inaudible. I sank into the dark space of consciousness and couldn't get out. This was the conclusion I came to after my consciousness was revived.
After being knocked unconscious by the sneak attack of Qu Xinhua, I don't know what medicine she used on me, and my consciousness was not completely lost, but my sensory perception only disappeared for a moment before returning. Then I tried to open my eyelids several times in vain, only to know that they moved me somewhere and put it down, and everyone left.
At first, I thought it was a surge of fatigue, and my consciousness was withdrawn for a moment, but then I realized that something was wrong and immediately condensed my consciousness. But I felt that the whole person seemed to be sinking, and the feeling of weightlessness when I was loose was gone, and my head became heavy and abnormal. It suddenly dawned on me that I could only choose one of the two, either consciousness or sensory perception, and I thought it was impossible to do both. And at that moment just now, I had already chosen sensory perception, so my consciousness sank to the bottom of the space, and I couldn't float up again.
As a result of this choice, I could clearly feel that there was another creature in the outer space, which could be a human or an animal. The reason for this judgment is because the other party gives me a very strong dangerous aura, like a beast that is fierce and may pounce on it at any time to bite it; It is also like the Shura Yaksha who waits for an opportunity in the dark night, and when he strikes, he is annihilated.
The back of my neck was reflexively cold, but my consciousness was so heavy that I couldn't do anything but feel the fear.
The only thing that is fortunate is that the other party doesn't seem to be ready to tear me apart, and the distance that permeates the breath has not changed. However, there is always a time when things change, not in the present, but in an unknown moment. And that moment came quickly! When I felt the strong wind shooting like an arrow, I could only wail in my heart but could not bear it, and immediately my body was heavily weighed, and the hot breath was close to my neck.
Wait for the sharp pain to spread into the nerves. With such a fierce and fast pounce, this bite will break the neck!
But after a while, the pain didn't hit, and the scorching breath never left, just around my neck, Sensen's weirdness. And when I recovered from the shock of preparing to die, I immediately judged from the direct touch of my body that it was a human being.
The heart twitched suddenly, a similar encounter that was too familiar had been in a certain time and place, and it was also dark and invisible, and a violent force suddenly pounced on ......
