59. Step by step
It was Khan's strange behavior that caught my attention, but it was too painful at the time for me to think about anything else, just to pay more attention and guard against this person when there might be something wrong with him. Then he slipped away, and my doubts deepened. But I didn't see him after that, and I thought maybe I was suspicious.
Later, from the showdown with Yang Wenhao, Zhou Tong and Liuzi said goodbye without saying goodbye, until I found this secret room and learned the secret of the three people, the whole person was completely confused. The mind is also confused, and I can't think of things at all. It wasn't until I came back from Zhou Tong that I sorted out the things that had happened since I woke up, and gradually found that I had been living a really bad time and had neglected a lot of details.
Something was dug up from forgotten memories......
The first incident was that I was arrested by Wong Tai Sin in Jiuzhaigou, and when Sheng Shiyao and his six sons came to save people, they changed their faces; The second pile is the stone chamber of Green Lake Village, the two of us touched the mechanism, and when we escaped from the stone chamber, Sheng Shiyao showed his hand and shrunk his bones. These two things alone constitute the reason why Khan's stature, body shape, and appearance are completely different from his.
Human memory is very strange, it selectively remembers something and forgets something. And if you dig out your mind to reminisce, those forgotten will appear vague shadows.
On the way from Hangu to that big town, I woke up one night in a daze and saw the sparkling foam outside the window, it was actually two people smoking. One is Zhou Tong and the other is Khan, which I forgot about after I fell asleep. Later, when I first realized that he hadn't come back and had a splitting headache, Khan stood by and watched.
Many things are vague shadows, and when they are connected, the fog is gradually revealed. On our way to Urumqi, I rarely got out of the car, and occasionally noticed that there was a person in the bottom sleeper who was like me, always covering his head in the bed and not getting out of the car. When they arrived in Urumqi, Zhou Tong and Liuzi said goodbye that night without saying goodbye, and asked Yang Wenhao to convey those words. At the moment, I had two choices, one was to follow them and go back to my hometown; The other is in hot pursuit.
This seemingly ordinary choice actually hides a strong psychological hint. There were five of us when we went, and only three of us were left when we came back, and without the core and the most important person, what could the people who stayed do but go their separate ways? In fact, my mind was really shaken, and I wanted to return to my hometown, but as Yang Wenhao said, it was difficult to feel at ease if I didn't come to take a trip. This choice is naturally also calculated, so the message asked Li Fengyun to arrange for me to live in the back room, and there are two possibilities here: one is that I can't wait for Zhou Tong and his sixth son for a few days, and I will return gloomily; The second is that I discovered the secret of the back room and found this dark room, so as to find Zhou Tong and Liuzi, who were already sleeping.
So there was Zhou Tong's recording message again, asking me to guard it for 7749 days.
This one thing seems to be commonplace, but when they are all connected, they find that the other party thinks about people, and everything is so detailed that all kinds of possibilities are thought of in advance. is so far-sighted, Zhou Tong and Liuzi can't do it, and I can't do it, only one person has this scheming and wisdom, and that is Sheng Shiyao.
Not only did he not stay in that virtual space, but he was all around us all the time, from the disguised Khan to the man who didn't get out of the bus later, many other faces appeared that I didn't know. And Zhou Tong and Liuzi practiced the 7749 days to save Liu Yue's soul, without him, who would operate and control it? I don't know what this is called, but among a few people, except for Liu Yue, who learned a little from him, Zhou Tong and Liuzi are not good at occult things at all, and it is a matter of Liu Yue's life, how dare they come nonsense?
There must be some other exit to this dark room, and I have overlooked one of the most obvious details. If Zhou Tong and the two were not partners with Li Fengyun, they must have gone out in front of Li Fengyun after coming back, so Li Fengyun told me that they were gone. The house has no back door, and it is sandwiched in the middle, and the yard is also closed by clear glass, so there is no other way to enter this back house. Therefore, there must be an exit to the outside, so that they can return to the underground secret room in the back room without noticing.
This explains why I didn't leave the upstairs at all, but Zhou Tong and Liuzi were able to leave the dark room and go outside.
I even suspect that Sheng Shiyao has come back during this period, because the 7749 days method they practiced is too mysterious, it must not be just the two of them lying down under the stone platform and falling asleep, there must be some other steps. Since it is divided into seven seven and forty-nine days, it is very likely that I will have to operate something every seven days, and something flashes through my mind, so fast that I can't catch it. As for the lock I put on the door, I believe that with Sheng Shiyao's ability, it is definitely not a problem.
And Zhou Tong's theory about Soul City just now, it's not that I want to question Zhou Tong's wisdom, but that way of reasoning, which is basically Sheng Shiyao's model. There are so many flaws and doubts in front of me, I didn't find out until today. Fighting his wits against him, I really lost a lot.
Taking two deep breaths, I stared at Zhou Tong's eyes, "Tell me, where is he?" ”
Zhou Tong's eyes flickered, avoiding my gaze, "Little sister, don't ask, Brother Yao won't let us tell." ”
His eyes turned to Liuzi, and he did the same, lowering his eyes and not looking at me. I sat on the ground with my ass just propped up on the glass slag, and I didn't feel the pain, Zhou Tong had already come over and grabbed my hand, and there was a blur of blood on it, "Little sister, ...... you"
I buried my head and asked, "Why?" ”
It took half a minute before I heard Zhou Tong say, "Brother Yao said that he can't see you again." I asked you why, but he didn't answer, he just said let's come back and persuade you to leave and don't stay here anymore. ”
Come back? We suddenly looked up, grabbed his sleeve and asked urgently, "You just saw him?" ”
Zhou Tong and Liuzi both nodded, "Actually, you saw it just now, but you didn't know it was him." ”
I've seen it before? "Li Fengyun?" After asking, he denied it, "No, it can't be her." I observed her for more than ten days, and if she was Sheng Shiyao, she would not have escaped my eyes. Then what I just saw is ......"
I know, it's the one who comes to deliver to Li Fengyun every Friday! Once a week, exactly seven days, and today is their forty-nine days, and he must come to put the finishing touches on it. Ha, I really want to look up to the sky and sigh, who said that the best disguise is not to look like others, but ordinary, so ordinary that no one will pay attention to you when walking in the crowd, and the person who delivers the goods is ordinary and will not be noticed at all.
In the end, it is still wrong, Li Fengyun may not know the secrets of the back room, but she must have a connection with Sheng Shiyao. The reason why she took the initiative to talk to me today was not because of the reasons she said on the surface, but because Sheng Shiyao used some channel to inform her that she was delaying me, and he must have been casting spells for Zhou Tong and Liuzi in this dark room at that time. He was afraid that I would suddenly come down and interrupt him, and he would also grab him.
waited until the matter was completed, he left through another secret door in a grand manner, and then pretended to deliver the goods from the front, meaning to inform Li Fengyun that he didn't know each other when he met him, and he missed this opportunity. It's really a step by step, every step is a game, I'm a mortal, how can I break this puzzle?
I asked in a whisper, "Did you leave with him?" Zhou Tong nodded, "After Brother Yao woke us up, he did some follow-ups, and then went out of the dark room with him." I pointed to the lock on the door that had been picked, "Then why pry the lock open, isn't he able to pick the lock himself?" They all glanced back at the lock, and said in a deep voice: "It was Brother Yao who asked us to do this, saying that if you destroy the door lock from the inside, you can think that we woke up and walked out by ourselves after you find out, so you won't be too anxious." ”
"Heh," I laughed mockingly, "mainly because he didn't want to expose himself." ”
The silence of the two was tantamount to acquiescence.
I asked again, "Is there any monitoring equipment on top of this secret room?" "It's a doubt, but it's a certainty, otherwise how would he know that I happened to be back? I saw Zhou Tong glance at Liuzi, Liuzi ran to the stone platform, leaned over and touched an object above the space where they were lying before, I took a closer look and found that it was a handheld computer again.
Turn on the switch, and immediately several pictures appear on the screen, which is the monitoring of the entire front room to the back room, all locations, including the secret passage and this secret room. It's more complete than the monitoring equipment I found on Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong said that before they came back, Sheng Shiyao left, and this time he really left, not hiding in the shadows like the previous times. There are two reasons, one is that Liu Yue's soul has been condensed, and he has to think of another way. This method Zhou Tong said very vaguely, but I still understood it, which meant that Liu Yue was left in the bat cave in the Soul City, and that body would inevitably die, so Sheng Shiyao wanted to find a person whose magnetic field matched Liu Yue's and lean her soul over. The mind is clear, this is the real soul attraction. No wonder he understood the osmanthus incident so clearly before, it turned out that he would also know this soul technique.
Another reason is that Zhou Tong said that it was time for Sheng Shiyao to leave in January every year, and he didn't lie to me, it was true. Every November, Sheng Shiyao will not take any more business orders, he will leave Jingzhou for a month, no one knows where to go, they never asked, and when the January period is over, he will come back. This habit has been practiced for twenty years.
I don't believe it, but Zhou Tong's eyes were very serious when he said this, and he said that his task with the six sons was to guard this secret room, guard the life-sustaining lamp and immortal card of the three people, and then wait for Sheng Shiyao to come back. Because don't look at the two of them now, but they rely on candlelight to condense their souls to continue their lives, so after transferring their soul qi to condense Liu Yue's soul, they will be weak due to lack of soul energy.
He stretched out his hand for me to touch, and it was much cooler than the normal temperature of the human body, which was a sign.
It's clearly organized, the head is the way, and it's reasonable, I don't think it's useless to believe it, because Zhou Tong's eyes tell me that these are true. Including the sixth son, although he was silent, the expression on his face confirmed this matter.
