156. Contradictions
I wasn't immobile, and after he pulled away, I barely tried to sit up, but my arm went weak and I fell to the ground again, and in the process, he was always watching from the distance. When he finally sat up and leaned against the stone wall, his forehead was sweating.
I heard him say in a low voice: "First of all, answer your question: the first time I meet you, there is no need to make special arrangements." Now that I'm here in person, just wait for the rabbit, and you won't be able to run anywhere. But you had a slightly stunned expression at the time, which made me laugh, since you hit the door, then you won't refuse. After taking it by his side, he found that this little rabbit was a little different, and he actually had some shallow supernatural abilities. ”
He stopped suddenly, and I waited for a moment without him telling again, and couldn't help urging: "And then?" ”
But he stood up and swept swiftly into the darkness. The change came so quickly that I didn't even react, and I couldn't see him in sight. After being stunned for a few seconds, I called softly: "Gao Cheng? But there was silence all around, there was no sound at all, the white candle was still on the ground, the flame was faint, he ...... Let's go? I was in a hurry and didn't even take it.
I closed my eyes and listened carefully, making sure that he was not hidden in the shadows, and that his breath that could not be ignored in the space had disappeared. And the deeper question is how big this place is, so that he can leave the sensing range without leaving a word in an instant.
Maybe it's because after so long, the anesthetic ingested by Xu Jianglun's silver needle has gradually receded, picked up the candle on the ground and touched the mobile phone in his pocket. The heart is slightly fixed, as long as you can see, the darkness is not terrible.
Leaning against the wall, he slowly got up, stood still, and took a few deep breaths before taking a step. I didn't immediately go in the direction he left, for with my legs and feet being so sore that I would have to fall again if I left the wall. Judging correctly, after a few meters to the left, the wall is over, and then it is necessary to walk in the correct direction. This time, I walked for about ten meters, and I also touched the end, and I frowned slightly.
There was no reason for him to play "hide and seek" with me in this place, so as I walked slowly, I could already see the gap in the dim light. The opening, which is less than half a meter wide, can be seen at a glance to be artificially cut, and the cut surface is neat. But when I peeked into the gap to take a closer look, I felt powerless.
It was a slope of nearly 60 degrees, and even in the past I couldn't guarantee that I would be able to climb it out of thin air, let alone now.
No doubt he broke off his conversation with me for some reason and went up from here. I looked down and seemed to catch a glimpse of something, I was stunned, and I approached it by candlelight, and when I saw it clearly, I was so frightened that I took two steps back, my heart was pounding, and my eyes were staring at that place, the arm of the person?!
Thinking back to what he had just now, he had all his arms, I'm pretty sure. So whose arm does it belong to? Looking around at the darkness, could it be that there was a murder here? But suddenly a thought flashed, very fast, too late to catch it, as if something was missing by me.
Lifting the candle through the gap again, to be honest, I wasn't too scared after the calm, I had seen corpses more terrifying than this before, how could I be afraid of an arm? Wait, corpses! The charred corpse flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered something, and in order to verify that I was squatting in front of the arm embedded in the crack in the stone, I only hesitated to reach out and touch it.
The touch tells me that it is.
This arm was exactly what I saw when I first fell off the cliff, and it was later deduced by Takajo that it was a prosthesis. At that time, the criminal police followed closely down the mountain, but they did not find the arm, but found the male body at the bottom of the cliff. So, it fell into here from above? So what does this meander up to approximately?
A vague answer came to mind, and I looked up into the depths of darkness where candlelight could not reach, and perhaps the end of it was on the flat slope below the cliff mouth. At the beginning, Xu Jianglun rushed down to save me, firstly, to fight for my further trust, and to be bitten by a snake; The second is to hide this arm between the cracks in the mountains.
So does Xu Jianglun know that there is such a space underneath? I glanced at the notched facet, and I had seen Luo Jinghan cut through the stone bricks of the cemetery with a tool, and the cut was basically the same as this. Most likely, there is a small gap at the end of the slope, and even Xu Jianglun doesn't know that there is something else in it. But Gao Cheng didn't let go of this important clue, and secretly asked Luo Jinghan to find the gap and cut it with a tool, probably to find the missing prosthetic, but he found such a space.
So choose to hide it and not say it?
No, it's inconsistent. Gao Cheng had no reason to hide it after discovering this space, and he couldn't predict that Xu Jianglun would return to his hometown today. Unless it's ...... What was originally in this place.
I couldn't go up, I was stuck here, and there was no other way but to think about the mysteries. I simply sat down on the floor and rearranged my thoughts. First of all, why did Xu Jianglun choose this place again as a place to uncover the mystery? He couldn't have thought it casually, it must have been something here. Secondly, after discovering this secret space, Gao Cheng must have found this prosthetic arm, but he chose not to move. These two doubts are inevitably related, and there are antecedents before they have consequences.
On the other hand, because Gao Cheng discovered the clue, with his cautious thinking, he probably expected this situation to appear today, so he secretly asked Luo Jinghan to open it up. "Disappearing" at a critical time is to lurk in this dark place when necessary, waiting for an opportunity. Just think about it carefully, although Luo Jinghan and Qu Xinhua don't often appear around him, they are actually one, and they basically appear at a certain time.
Let me think back to the times they showed up. The first time I was in my gallery, they had already met before I walked in the door, and then Qu Xinhua pretended to buy a painting from me and left with Luo Jinghan. If I remember correctly, Luo Jinghan went to the landlady's hometown to help deal with one thing before, and I don't care about anything, but my remarried "mother" has the impression that she is married to that city, which is obviously not a coincidence, and it is estimated that the "mother" has been examined in detail.
With their abilities, I absolutely believe that they can turn the bottom over without alarming the "mother".
It can be said that they are mainly based on Gao Cheng, supplemented by the other two, and officially cut into my life.
No, why am I analyzing from this position again? Xu Jianglun has already revealed the truth to me, Gao Cheng is the hand that pushed me to the hurricane point, and he is the dark one who laid the biggest puzzle, he should have known that I had Yang Xiaofeng's memory in my mind. But if that's the case, then why does he have to search for my memories again and again? If the last time in Guangping was to wake up the memory, then what about before? Especially when Qiu Yuebai performed psychological techniques, I personally felt that she was searching in my memory, not to wake up.
I was confused, there was a contradiction, he didn't act like he knew that I had Yang Xiaofeng's memory, but in the few short sentences he just said to me, he admitted that he approached me with a purpose. His thinking mode and ability can be the hand that dominates everything, and there is also a motive to use me as bait to fish out Xu Jianglun and the organization behind him. But so far, the so-called organization can only be glimpsed in the language and the scale of the dungeon, Xu Jianglun has existed as a single entity from beginning to end, and has no extension, Jiang Yan can only be regarded as his assistant at most.
But since it's a bait, do you still don't know about bait? What else does it need to be reviewed in various ways? Gao Cheng is not a person who plays chess randomly without even figuring out his own chess pieces, there must be something wrong with this. 's real head is about to be knotted, and on the one hand, he wants himself not to believe Xu Jianglun all, and the facts are proving that what he said is not all false; On the one hand, he started against Gao Cheng again, but he can always find many contradictions.
I shook my head, let myself calm down, and if I thought about it again, I would only be entangled, so I put a question mark in my heart first, and pushed back the first point about Xu Jianglun just now. He is also a person who is cautious and not inferior to Gao Cheng, since this is set as the ultimate battlefield, how can he not investigate the terrain here?
Therefore, he may not be unaware of the existence of this space. So you might as well make a bold guess, is it because there is such a space that he chose here again? In the end, there is only one question left: what kind of bureau has he set up around this Tiger Cliff Pass?
Obviously, this time my role is to act as bait again, fishing for Zhang Ji or Gao Cheng. With Xu Jianglun's mind, he may feel puzzled when Gao Cheng suddenly disappears, but he will definitely point the finger of suspicion at Zhang Ji later. Even if he arranged for Jiang Yan to commit suicide, there was no guarantee that Zhang Jihui, who was always at the scene, did not suspect him at all. It's still not right, if he wants to lure Zhang Ji to take the bait, he doesn't need to use me as bait, and he doesn't need to come to this place. So, his goal has always been Gao Cheng!
He already suspected that Gao Cheng was playing tricks and directing and acting by himself, so he lured me up to the Tiger Cliff and lured you into the urn. At this point, can we overturn part of his analysis of Gao Cheng? Since I can become this bait, that is, I have recognized the importance of bait to fish, and he deliberately guided me to make a gap with Takashi.
After going through it, my mind is a lot clearer. It was right to make sure that he asked Takajo to verify again. No matter who I am, with the filling of memories and the inflow of some new knowledge, my psychological, academic and reasoning skills have been relatively improved. But I also feel that psychological warfare is more tiring than any actual battle.
As a chess piece, even if I don't have the right to decide my fate, I must at least know my own value and what each move is for. <
