Chapter 5: Crisis
I don't know why, but it always feels like it's all deliberately arranged, not like a coincidence, but just as I was thinking about it, a group of people with masks suddenly came in, and the flickering candles illuminated the masks on their faces.
The man in the fox mask who walked in front of me was talking to the vendors around me, but his voice was so remote that I couldn't hear what they were saying.
The moment they entered, all the hairs on my body stood on end, perhaps this was the dangerous instinct of all animals for dangerous things, and my body was one step ahead of my brain to warn me of the danger of this group of "creatures".
Liu Xia asked me to wait a little longer, and I didn't pay attention to him, but just looked intently at the group of men in black with masks, and they dragged away the man who had just knocked me down in an extremely distorted position, saying that it was extremely twisted, because they did not take him away by the arm, but held the man's ankle with one hand, and dragged him away like a child dragging a worn-out doll, allowing his face to be scratched by stones on the ground with blood one after another.
"Let's go, don't look at it." Liu Xia's expression became more and more nervous, dragging me to leave, when leaving, I glanced back, the person also looked up at me and Liu Xia, his face was pale, his face was full of blood, his eyes were bloodshot, he just looked at us straight, his eyes were complicated, not for help or fear, but like a sigh of relief.
Before I could speak, Liu Xia hurriedly dragged me away, but this time instead of returning the same way, he led me to the path on the other side of the stone arch after passing through the tomb.
Liu Xia took the lead in walking, making a "rustling" sound as she crossed the dwarf bushes, which seemed more and more permeable in such a dark situation, and the bloody faces seemed to appear in front of me again.
The forest is very wide, I don't know how long I walked, I just felt that this forest seemed to have no end, suddenly, I was tripped by something, Liu Xia pulled me up, patted the dust on my body, looked around, but did not find anything strange, had to limp forward under Liu Xia's support.
It took us about thirty minutes to get out of the jungle, and by this time the sky was already slightly white, and there was a river in front of the forest, which was rushing and seemed to have a certain depth.
Suddenly, my eyes were covered with my hands from behind, and my brain suddenly felt cold, and I subconsciously struck back with my elbow, and Liu Xia quickly dodged.
There was a strange evil taste hidden in his smile, and the kind of smile that made people feel very uncomfortable just by looking at it.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Just kidding, I thought you were going to kill me when you hit me back."
"I am not familiar with Liu Xia, let alone ...... Are you really Liu Xia? "I looked at the 'Liu Xia' in front of me, and neither of them had the slightest intention of apologizing.
"Life is really boring." He sighed inexplicably, "So make everything a little fun." ”
"Don't say it's useless." I didn't want to say too much to him, "Who the hell are you?" ”
Actually, I don't have too much evidence that he is not the Liu Xia I knew at the beginning, but I don't believe that a person can change his personality in half a day.
Not surprisingly, the real Liu Xia was only the extremely indifferent young man I saw at the Education Bureau in the morning, and the Liu Xia I saw after that was not the real Liu Xia, and from the moment we first contacted him, he had already stepped into the trap of the enemy, including that phone call...... As an informal investigator, I didn't want me to appear in the eyes of the police as a suspect from the bottom of my heart, so I naturally chose the lowest cost method, which was to contact me privately, and Liu Xia handed me my business card early in the morning, which gave us a chance for each other.
Seeing that I used a spell to summon the Nine Heavens Xuannu should not be as he explained, I think it is more likely that he has already figured out the details of me, so it was all in their plan.
"The one who was dragged away just now is the real Liu Xia." I looked up at him.
"What?"
"You deliberately found a reason to block my view when that person deliberately hit me just now, and when I was about to take a closer look at that person, your expression was obviously nervous, indicating that this person must have something to do with this case or that I know, and that person's figure looks like you...... Or is it the same as Liu Xia's figure, you should be afraid that person will reveal something to me in a hurry, right? ”
"Your analysis is interesting, go ahead." His tone was calm, as if he had listened to a story that was neither salty nor light, and we stood by the river, the water was rushing fast, and the cold air in the water was swept up by the wind and fell on me, and I couldn't help but shiver all over.
"The look in his eyes when he looked at me was not a cry for help but a sigh of relief, which showed that he didn't want me to get involved in this matter, and that our direction was the exit at that time, and his expression only showed that he was a party to this matter, and that he not only knew a lot of inside information but also knew me."
"You're really a very smart person...... "He tilted his head and stared into my eyes, "I'm a little reluctant to kill you." ”
He suddenly approached me very closely, his face full of pride, "You know, there is a canyon under this river, I once did an experiment, I threw a dog down from here and was directly washed down by the river, when I went downstream to look for it, the whole dog was pierced by the sharp stones at the bottom of the river, and when I picked it up, the blood was still flowing out, and the internal organs had been completely thrown out." ”
I had a chill in my neck, this girl wasn't going to throw me down, I couldn't help but ask when I thought so.
"Bingo, that's what I think, I also want to throw someone down to see, since you sincerely begged me, then I will be merciful to throw you down." 'Liu Xia' looked at me with half-squinted eyes, and I saw a faint hint of danger in his expression, like a madman who could go crazy at any moment.
I'm not sure if I should be the first to strike at this point, I don't know the details of the enemy in front of me, and I don't have the ability to recite incantations silently, so I can be said to be responsible that my chance of victory is less than 30%.
Just as I was thinking about the plan, the woman I had just seen in the antique shop walked out of the woods slowly, as beautiful as a fairy in the forest, and I saw her eyes as I wished, which were a pair of golden snake eyes......
