Chapter 66: Gain or Loss

The God-King Mask comes from the Abyss and is used to banish and suppress the undead in the night.

In fact, there are also such legends among the folk, which are used for various masks or masks; There are even rumors that these facial contours are used to ward off disasters, and even in some places, a custom has been formed, and on some disaster days, a specific mask must be worn.

But after the Cultural Revolution, this kind of legend is rare, only those places where Sichuan opera is prevalent, there are still reservations about it, but in that era, it was not easy to show people.

Later, with the advancement of a large number of science and technology, many supernatural events have a clear explanation, and the saying of using masks to ward off evil spirits is simply considered to be a kind of cognition in people's hearts.

But there are some things that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and the concepts imprinted in people's hearts have become so ingrained that even if there is a reasonable explanation, people may not want to believe it, and still insist on their own ideas and practices.

It is not easy to change the beliefs of some people in a short period of time, but the reason for this is undoubtedly that the current knowledge of people is not enough to accept this "reality."

However, many backward places often confuse faith with superstition, and this is the most ignorant place.

The belief in my heart is an incredible power, but this power is not the same as what those old men and old ladies in the countryside say.

Plausible things often require a pair of far-sighted people to see the truth from the end.

I am skeptical of the story in Baizhou's mouth, but since the murderer thinks that the mask of the god king is in the clan tomb, whether it is true or not, he must act with his own discretion.

Baizhou had already told the information here and the spirit keepers on the other side of the clan tomb, and told them to be careful, because the origin of these people did not seem to be simple.

Also, about the person in the car, Baizhou said that he was at least seven or eight dead, and when I heard what happened in the car, he also said that it was impossible.

I shrugged, and that was exactly what it was, and there was a crack-like thing on the man's body.

He didn't know how to explain it when I swore it, so he immediately said that he wanted to go back and have a look.

He wanted me to go with him, but I waved my hand again and again, indicating that I would refuse.

The other party suddenly looked at the ward again, thoughtfully, and finally said to me, "That girl is not simple, you have to be careful!" ”

I didn't understand what he meant, but Baizhou didn't explain, got up and walked to the end of the hallway.

I looked at his back as he walked away, looked back at the ward, and muttered in my heart, what kind of plane is this weirdo doing, you haven't met yet, why is there such hostility?

In fact, my curiosity is not superfluous, listening to Baizhou's tone just now, my prejudice against Qianqian seems to be far more complicated than I thought.

After Baizhou left, I didn't go back, but went to the supermarket outside to sell some fruit and came back.

Sitting in the chair, Chen Haidong and I were talking while thinking about the god-king mask that Baizhou had said.

First of all, he told me the news, as if he wanted me to go to Sichuan with him, and maybe even help him go to the clan tomb to arrest the person who stole the mask of the god king.

Although I am very interested in these things, it does not mean that I will promise him, is it not enough to suffer these few days? I don't want to wade into troubled waters anymore.

But looking at the envelope in my hand, I hesitated again, I didn't know whether I should give these things to the old clock?

If the old bell will be involved, I'm afraid I will be dragged in too.

After thinking about it, there was no result, so I had to give up and listen to Chen Haidong next to me start to tell the story of his time at the police academy again.

And something about his girlfriend.

They broke up here a few years ago, after which there was no contact, and it wasn't until not so long ago that he received news about this ex-girlfriend.

She died on the beach, but strangely enough, there were no wounds on her body, and after a forensic examination, it was discovered that she had died of kidney failure.

He was serious, but I didn't bother to comfort him, because the stories reminded me of myself.

Will there be a day when I have a girl living in my heart, and suddenly one day she disappears, and a few years later I will receive a letter identifying the body, and then find her body lying in the hospital room.

The bullet was only a few millimeters from the heart, and I couldn't imagine what happened last night.

I don't know if it's a miracle or if we're not finished, but all in all she's fine, but she hasn't woken up yet.

Glad she is safe now, but this safety does not mean luck, nor does it last long, but it carries an imperceptible bizarreness.

I try to avoid those things in my heart, but even if I do, what has happened and what is about to happen will not change because of this?

I ended this hypothesis with a wry smile, and saw it as a miracle in the doctor's mouth, and this miracle would happen to anyone, including her, the amazing girl.

Chen Haidong also said that during the period of my disappearance, everyone was very worried, and if it weren't for the injuries on his body, I am afraid that he would have been dragged out by Lao Zhong and them to find me.

Hearing him say this, I sighed and asked, "You must have been in the ward during that time, did you notice anything wrong, did anyone else come here?" ”

Chen Haidong thought for a while, and then said, "That fake Inspector Wang has been here, and more than once, but everyone was there at the time, so I didn't care." ”

"Did she say anything to you when she came over?"

Chen Haidong suddenly glanced at me with some disdain, "I really don't understand, what is important to her, she has been calling your name since she came in, just...... The tone is a bit strange, giving the impression that there are two different voices speaking. But I don't know if the nurse who brought her in noticed it, so she just let her to me, looking at her appearance, she must have come to look for you, but when I asked her what she was looking for you, she still muttered your name as if she didn't hear it. ”

"After that, I asked her to sit down, and just as I was about to tell her about your disappearance, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the Inspector Wang immediately walked to your bedside, but just as he was about to go to get the things hidden under the bed, he suddenly saw her, and without saying anything, he shot her directly."

"I found the first shot in time and pushed her away, but I didn't expect this person to let her go at all before firing five shots in a row."

When I heard this, I was shocked, could it be that his purpose was not only the blueprint of the clan tomb, but also to kill her......

But how did he know that she would be here, and the location of the metal body, even if he had been to the ward to look for it here, but it should not be an obvious place under the bed.

After thinking about this, I unconsciously looked out the window, could it be that after this person, there was a third participant, this person knew everything.

recalled everything we met on the mountain, the coffin, and the appearance of Qianqian, could it all be planned by the same person.

The last time we didn't kill her, we missed the time, and now that person asked the fake detective to kill her?

No, no, no! How could things be so complicated, and if this person was so shrewd, why would he make mistakes again and again, and why did he have to do it by my side.

I was thinking too much, and after shaking off these emotions, I called Lao Zhong again, and he said that he was already on his way and would be back soon.

After waiting for dozens of minutes, Lao Zhong and the others rushed to the hospital, and when they saw Qianqian on the hospital bed, they shifted their eyes to me again.

I was speechless, but I heard Chen Haidong next to me answer, "The relationship between this girl and Qin Huai is not simple, otherwise she wouldn't have chased us here."

! ”

I really didn't know how to explain it to them, so I chose not to respond and just threw the paper bag in my hand.

"Look at these!"

After Lao Zhong took the paper bag, he poured out the photos inside, just glanced at it, his expression changed, and he immediately asked nervously, "Where did you get these photos?" ”

I didn't hide it, so I told him everything Baizhou told me, and asked him if the content on the photo was the same as what he found in the ancient tomb.

Lao Zhong frowned and looked at it a few more times, pointed to a few places on the photo where the color was not sufficient, and said, "These images should have been copied and processed, you look at the colors on them, they are not like the ones taken now, maybe these photos were black and white before, and then they were painted in color by the computer." ”

I followed the place he was pointing to, and sure enough, I found that many of the colors in the photo were not sufficient.

"This shows that the time when the photo was taken is not now, if you guess correctly, it should be someone from before, given to the deceased!"

I sighed and repeated the question I had just asked, but the old bell was a little hesitant, and after coughing lightly, he saw that we were all focused on him, and then continued, "Actually, it's about the same, because I don't know the words on the fragment." ”

Hearing such an ambiguous answer, it was not good for us to continue asking, but just as Lao Zhong continued to look at those photos, Liu Ran grabbed one of the photos first.

When she picked up the picture and saw the person on it, her eyes seemed to be frozen in this moment, and even I could feel her hands trembling.

Although I don't know her very well, I rarely see her like this, even in the ancient tomb, when facing any danger, she can deal with it calmly.

But when she saw this photo, it seemed that her whole person had collapsed, and her eyes suddenly lost that familiar look.

That indescribable look was best known only to herself, and what she had been looking for was now finally found.

I don't know how long it took, she watched motionlessly, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, and by the time we reacted, the picture had already flown out of her hand and landed in the corner of the hospital bed.

We hurriedly helped Liu Ran up from the ground, and pinched Renzhong a few times before we saw her slowly wake up.

But after waking up, she looked around at us in confusion, and finally said, "I know who the person above is, he is Liu Qingchun, the cause of everything!" ”

None of us said anything, but I can guess what this result means for her.

The photo was taken decades ago, and the content on it has been restored until it is restored to the current level, and it was sent to Li Sansi, asking him to help check and even piece together the content of those fragments.

Maybe Li Sansi knew something, so the original owner of these photos would send things over, but now that he is dead, we can't ask him, so the only clue left is to trace the source of the photos.
