Wen Tingxu squinted at me, and he finally began to be surprised.

"Aren't you satisfied? What more could you want. Wen Tingxu asked.

"You just said that the 'Western Night Ruins' we went to a few days ago were actually not Huggandu City, but Zihe City, right?"

"I—did I say that?" He was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Of course. Zihe Castle is the second largest city in the Western Night Country. But when we were there a few days ago, we didn't find any relevant proof, how do you know that it is Zihe City? ”

"Guess what."

"Where did the cellars in the city, the gold, silver, and jewels in the cellars come from?" I asked.

"Of course it was bought with money." He said.

"That's buying and selling cultural relics, right? But where did you buy so many Tang Dynasty artifacts? And is it a cultural relic of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty? The era of Stein and Hedin has long passed, and how can there be such rampant tomb robbers who dare to 'wholesale' cultural relics in whole packages? ”

Wen Tingxu smiled a little mischievously: "Shanren has their own channels - these are actually secretly repurchased from the foreign black market, and in the end they are just donated to the country in a different way."

"What? Is it also a felony to buy back lost cultural relics and not to keep them for yourself, but to hand them over to the state with dignity? ”

His words were full of provocation. I thought about it for a while, so I had to say to him solemnly and sincerely, "You have your own sin. Since these sins are not hidden from me, it also means that you have no intention of getting rid of them.

"To put it bluntly, you and I are not fools, and even if you are arrested, you will not be sentenced to a few years in prison. Moreover, public opinion will also be on your side - try to think about it, an excellent entrepreneur, a high-tech talent needed by the country, his parents were murdered many years ago, but they were recognized as criminals, he did not hesitate to be guilty in order to clear his parents' wrongs, and he also planned a big drama.

"He didn't let the 'actors' perform, but reproduced the scenes of the year, so that everyone could see through the fragility of human nature - if it weren't for the change of color in Weiyang and the panic of people, I believe that by now, it is estimated that the reportage about his son's struggle and revenge for his parents has been written.

"But what I wanted, it wasn't at all. You are my old classmate, and it is not up to me to judge whether you are guilty or not. I just wanted to ask you, who exactly is that organization that is helping you?

"They hide in the shadows, help you get rid of Bai Ya'er, Zhang Xiangchun and other 'characters', help you find Yu Sufu, find your mother's body, help you find an ancient city ruins that are not the West Night, but similar to the West Night, and even help you get a batch of 'lost overseas' cultural relics in the Western Regions - they are too familiar with the ancient city and cultural relics, and they actually have such a difficult resource to find......"

Wen Tingxu interrupted me.

"Don't list it, in order to save time, you just say it, who do you suspect?"

"The organization that stands on the same side as you is the Faceless Man, right? Their leader, is it that Nie Qing? ”

"No comment, I won't betray my friends."

"Can I understand that you're saying, 'That's right, you're right.'"

"That's what you think, I didn't say it."

"I'll just have something to say, how did you know Nie Qing? Did you find her, or did she find you? "I saw that he wanted to push the pot and do tai chi, so he had to throw the question directly.

Wen Tingxu was stunned for a moment, and I saw the red wine in his glass swaying slightly.

"I met when I was studying abroad, and she suddenly came to me and asked me if I wanted to get ahead and if I wanted to turn things around."

"And then?"

I didn't want to pay attention to her, but I asked, what is turning things around? She said three words, Let God's be God's, and Satan's be Satan's; Let the particles belong to the particles, and the universe to the universe; What is white is never black, and what is black is never white. Her words convinced me at once. ”

"Do you know about her affair with the Faceless Man?"

"I know a little, she didn't particularly hide it from me, like she didn't bother to hide it."

"Who the hell is the Faceless Man?"

"They?" Wen Tingxu looked at me and suddenly let out a strange laugh, "Where do you think they came from?" ”

"Another world?"

"No, they're real human beings."

"Humans, who are exposed to radiation, are they genetically mutated?" I remembered the words of Xiang Yulong from the Police Department's Technical Center.

"Hahaha," Wen Tingxu laughed, "Old classmate, you're wrong again, they're-"

- Smack!

At this most critical moment, I heard a loud bang, only to see the glass window behind Wen Tingxu burst open, and the broken glass particles scattered downstairs like hailstones.

We were sitting in a window seat, and as soon as the glass shattered, we felt like we were on the edge of a cliff. I hurriedly jumped in and crawled on the ground, shouting "danger" to Wen Tingxu on the other side.

Wen Tingxu reacted quickly, and he rolled on the spot and hid under the table. I was trying to figure out what was going on, when there was another crunch and the glass in front of me was shattered in the blink of an eye.

"Someone sniped us!" Wen Tingxu suddenly ripped off the tablecloth and hoisted it towards the broken window. When the tablecloth blocked the view, he jumped over and grabbed me, and ran towards the dining room checkout counter!

"Don't stand up!" I saw him straighten up, probably trying to run faster. It's fast, but it's exposing yourself to the gun!

However, it was too late, and his body suddenly shook violently, as if he had been hit by a bullet. He stood there trembling, as if he wanted to look back......

I couldn't care too much about it now, so I stood up suddenly, pushed him forward despite my back being completely exposed to the sniper's scope, and then got straight in front of him.

Syllable!

There was another crisp sound, and he shook behind me, blood flowed from his shoulder, and I subconsciously reached out to help him stop the bleeding. Just as he raised his arm, he heard another shot, and his exposed right rib was pierced with a bloody hole.

Wen Tingxu shook for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a "bang" like a severed tree trunk.

"Call someone! Ambulance! Alarm! "My phone fell on the table, and I had to shout at a waitress crouched in the corner, trembling and tears streaming down her face, like leaves in a storm.

"Stake, that ......" Wen Tingxu was lying in a pool of blood, he grabbed my hand, his lips trembling.

"Stop talking!" I yelled at him like crazy.

"Faceless man...... It is...... West Night ...... Nie Qing...... It's the leader of the Faceless Man, and she draws ...... ......His mouth "fluttered" and foamed with blood, and finally the blood burst and the blood gushed out, like a spring in a pool.

"Ahh

The sniper had probably fled, and I knelt in front of Wen Tingxu, wiping my sweat and tears while trying to stop the bleeding in every way I could.

Soon, I heard an ambulance roaring closer, but just as the sirens sounded, I heard a strange buzzing sound.

I looked up the window, and I saw a black blob in the flickering sky, and those spots kept trembling, like crows returning from twilight, and like the arrival of bombers in a great war.
