Chapter 16: The Mystery of Moonheart Island (1)
"Seongnam ...... Do you feel a little cold? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The four of them had already walked out of Yueluo City and headed for Yuexin City, Qin Yue suddenly hugged his shoulders and said in a trembling voice: "Why is this ghost weather so cold all of a sudden?" β
"Cold?" Gu Chengnan was a little puzzled, he didn't feel the cold, but looking over, not only Qin Yue, but even Li Jie and Kang Ning were also cold and shivering, and even the corners of their mouths began to turn white.
It's strange, why is it so cold and the south of the ancient city still doesn't feel at all?
"Here, put it on." Gu Chengnan took off his coat and handed it to Qin Yue.
As for Li Jie and the others, although Gu Chengnan was a little sorry, there was no way, he didn't bring clothes this time, and the only coat could only be given to his friend Qin Yue.
"Thank you...... South of the city. Qin Yue took the clothes, his hands trembled very much, and it was very difficult to put them on, but his movements were very stiff, and he didn't put them in after trying several times.
Guchengnan began to realize that something was wrong.
How can it be so cold?
Qin Yue has always been more arrogant, if he really feels cold, he will die with a hard mouth, he was the one who was unwilling to accept softness in the past, why is he shivering when he is cold now.
What's even more strange is that Li Jie and Kang Ning are already cold and runny noses, and their faces are frighteningly white.
How so?
Gu Chengnan was only wearing a thin piece of clothing now, but he only felt cooler, which was completely different from the performance of these three people.
It is impossible to say that these three people deliberately tricked him, otherwise this acting skill is too rebellious, even the snot comes out, and the face is white and scary.
"I ...... I said, "Seonnam, or ...... Let's go back tomorrow, tonight...... First, stay in Yueluo City for one night, how to ...... Like?"
Qin Yue looked like he was about to die of coldness, and he couldn't stop talking about it.
"Yawn!"
"Yawn!"
"Yawn!"
The three of them had a chain reaction and began to sneeze one after another.
Gu Chengnan put his hand on Qin Yue's arm, and an extremely cold feeling passed from his hand in an instant.
"Nope." Gu Chengnan said in a serious and deep voice, "There must be something wrong with Yueluo City, it was fine before, and you just left Yueluo City and you have this situation, which is enough to prove that there must be a problem in Yueluo City." β
Qin Yue gritted his teeth to resist the cold, and the expression on his face became a little exaggerated because of the cold:
"So, what then? Back here, back to Moon Heart City, it will take more than a day, I, I guess I don't have that strength. β
Gu Chengnan thought about it and decided to go to Yueyan City first, firstly, it was close, and secondly, if the abnormality of Qin Yue and the others was because of Yueluo City, why was he fine? So he had to go back again.
After explaining the reason to Qin Yue, the three of them agreed, they just want to go to bed quickly now, oh a pot of stove, cover a few thick quilts to keep warm, otherwise they will freeze to death.
In the middle of the night, they rushed to Yueyan City, and the people from the Security Department received them, the Security Department was on duty all year round and was on duty all day, and Qin Yue and the three of them were police officers from the Yuexin City Security Department, so they naturally would not treat them badly.
While the people from the security department arranged for a doctor to check on the condition of Qin Yue and the others, Gu Chengnan was sitting alone in the office and pondering.
What the hell is going on? Why do abnormal situations happen one after another?
Does this imply anything?
It's really hard to figure out the reason for this, and if you have to give an explanation for all the abnormal situations.
So......
Guchengnan thought of a word.
It's just that this word is so ridiculous that even he doesn't want to believe it, but he really can't find a better explanation.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a document on the table, and picked it up to look at it.
The above record is the change in Yuexin City, and Gu Chengnan was also quite surprised when he saw the city lord become a god master.
In this way, in the future, on Yuexin Island, the person with the highest status and the most special identity will no longer be the city lord, but the god lord.
According to the records, the god lord will not directly control the administrative work, and the city lord is still in charge, and the god lord's duties are more similar to that of the guardian god, protecting the residents of the entire Moon Heart Island.
God......
Is there really a God?
Guchengnan chewed on the word carefully.
If it is really God, then ...... Is there one?
"Guchengnan, you haven't rested yet?"
Gu Chengnan retracted his thoughts and said lightly: "Well, Minister Wang, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late." β
"Where, you're welcome, I'm the head of the security department, it's my duty, but ...... I'll say something, don't mind Seongnam. Minister Wang seemed to look at Guchengnan with some doubt.
"Say it."
"Good...... I wanted to ask you, why are you so interested in the case in L.A.? As far as I know, you don't have the idea of joining the Ministry of Guards, becoming a police officer. β
Gu Chengnan had already prepared for this, what he did was really intriguing, and it was normal for some people to be suspicious.
"Minister Wang is right, I really didn't want to join the Ministry of Guards."
"In that case, then ...... you do it"
"I'm just ......" Gu Chengnan has always been witty and calm, but this time he didn't know how to answer.
No matter who he told about those memories, it was impossible for him to believe him, and Gu Chengnan also knew very well that he could get so many personal receptions from officials, all because of his mother.
This doesn't mean that he can do whatever he wants, on Moonheart Island, there are many things that are taboo and cannot be violated, such as ......
Questioning the beliefs of the island's inhabitants.
You must know that the residents of Yuexin Island are very simple, and they are extremely loyal to the Yuecheng Mansion, even if it is petty theft, it is very rare, and the work of the security department is basically to solve some disputes, and there are no criminal cases throughout the year.
Especially the homicide case, the ancient city is so big that he has never heard of a murder case, and it is a manslaughter and it is very rare.
And what Guchengnan is doing now is looking for clues to the murder, not just one or two, and the number of people involved in the memory is as high as hundreds.
No one would believe it, there could be so many murders in the tiny city of L.A.
"Minister Wang, I'...... I'll explain to you later, it's not the time yet. "Guchengnan can only prevaricate.
Minister Wang is a man who is nearly fifty years old, but he is very energetic and physically tough, and his white beard and flat head with a little gray hair make him even more majestic.
Although he was not satisfied with Gu Chengnan's answer, after all, Gu Chengnan's relationship was there, and besides, he didn't do anything against the rules, so he didn't have much to say for a while.
Minister Wang casually explained a few words and then got up and left, Gu Chengnan looked at his disappearing back, and secretly felt in his heart that the seriousness of the matter was probably more serious than he thought.
Gu Chengnan came to the lounge to see the situation of Qin Yue and the others, after all, they were like this to help him, if there was really something, he was also responsible.
The strange thing is that just now they looked like they were about to die of cold, but now the three of them are completely refreshed, their faces have gradually become a little bloody, and the biting cold has disappeared without a trace.
Qin Yue has returned to his usual cheerful and funny personality, and the three of them are actually fighting the landlord in the room!
Qin Yue saw Guchengnan walking in, hurriedly put down the cards in his hand, and said:
"Chengnan, we went to look for you just now, and when we saw Minister Wang chatting with you, I didn't want to interrupt you."
"Yes, it's okay."
"What did he say to you? I don't think you had much contact with him. β
Gu Chengnan didn't know how to explain it, Minister Wang was already a little dissatisfied with what he had done, although Qin Yue didn't say anything, but he actually didn't approve of him doing it in his heart, you know, what Gu Chengnan wanted to verify would affect the hearts of the people of the entire Moon Heart Island, once this matter spread, it would definitely cause panic, and Gu Chengnan would also become the target of public criticism.
Qin Yue's support is more emotional, which Gu Chengnan also understands.
But if he doesn't figure things out, he will never give up, as for Qin Yue, he doesn't want to trouble him anymore, if this matter spreads, it's good that he has his mother as the backstage, Qin Yue will be in trouble.
"It's okay, Qin Yue, you guys have a good rest, and go back to Moon Heart City tomorrow morning."
"This ...... Are you going to investigate alone?" Qin Yue understood his thoughts and asked in surprise.
Gu Chengnan didn't deny it, nodded, and said: "Yes, I know what you want to say, Qin Yue, I am already very grateful to you for being able to accompany me this time, I won't say much else, in short, thank you, you will go back tomorrow, I don't want to bother you again." β
"But ......"
Qin Yue wanted to say something more, but Gu Chengnan had already walked out of the room.
Li Jie and Kang Ning were silent, and they didn't know what to say.
Qin Yue bit his lip tightly, he knew Gu Chengnan's character too well, it was impossible for him to change what he decided, unless he found an answer.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is impossible for the things that Guchengnan said to really happen at all, otherwise everyone on Yuexin Island would have known about it a long time ago.
As his best friend, Qin Yue also felt very embarrassed, Guchengnan would definitely have a problem if he continued to investigate like this, but there was no point in stopping him.
"Qin Yue, look...... What do we do?" Li Jie walked over and asked.
He never dared to make a decision directly, in case something happened to Guchengnan alone, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be implicated, it was not easy to become a police officer in Yuexin City, you know, there are only more than 100 police officers on the entire Yuexin Island, so you know how difficult this position is.
Qin Yue sighed helplessly and said, "Let him go, we can't stop him, no one can change what he decides." β
"Then we ......"
"According to what Chengnan said, early tomorrow morning, we will return to Yuexin City, and when he investigates the results, he will naturally come back."
β¦β¦
As soon as the day dawned, Guchengnan left Yueyan City, Qin Yue and the others were still asleep, and Guchengnan didn't bother them, and came to the road last night alone.
This road belongs to a three-way junction, directly in front of it is to Yuexin City, behind this road is Yueyan City, and on the right is to Yueluo City.
At the moment, there is no one on the road, and the surroundings are also empty and barren, but this place has a lot of gravel and hard soil, which is suitable for road construction but not suitable for land development.
It was here last night, Qin Yue and the three of them began to have abnormalities, and Gu Chengnan felt that there must be something wrong here, so he carefully surveyed the surroundings.
He is also very bold, you must know that it is still dark, he only has a small flashlight, the light is very weak, but he has no fear at all, just slowly search around.
The sun slowly climbed up the mountain, and the south of the ancient city did not find a result.
This is very strange, there is nothing on this road, how could Qin Yue suddenly seem to have fallen into an ice cellar, shivering with cold.
What's even more strange is why he doesn't feel anything?
Moreover, Qin Yue was safe and sound as soon as he returned to Yueyan City, obviously it was not that he was sick, not to mention Li Jie and Kang Ning.
There are all kinds of signs that Guchengnan is absolutely not careful, and there must be some incomprehensible existence at work.
That...... What is it?
It's still hard for Gu Chengnan to determine the idea in his heart, he has lived in Yuexin City for many years, and he has never believed in the existence of those things, although the existence of the god lord is already very incredible, but the god lord is a human after all......
Having said that, Gu Chengnan felt that this time the Divine Lord suddenly issued this regulation, it didn't seem to be groundless, there must be some reason.
In this way, Guchengnan couldn't help but think that the previous city lords also had mysterious and unpredictable powers, and the existence of the Moon God Palace had long existed, and the city lords of the Moon Heart City of the past dynasties also lived there, and the concept of the Imperial Palace was the same.
No one has ever questioned the source of the god's main power, as if it were taken for granted, but how can this kind of thing be taken for granted, you know, the city lord is also a human being, why would he always have this power?
Gu Chengnan felt that this question was worth exploring, but it was impossible for him to ask the Divine Lord directly, no matter how big his background was, it was insignificant compared to the Divine Lord, and if he violated the majesty of the Divine Lord, it was completely okay to kill him on the spot.
On this island, absolute loyalty to the god is a concept that every resident has been instilled from birth, even if there was no god lord before, the object of everyone's loyalty is the city lord of the moon heart city, and the city lords of the moon heart city in the past generations are elected by the people, and there is no hereditary, but it can be designated by the previous god lord, and the moon city government held a meeting to vote and passed it.
Gu Chengnan suddenly thought of this, but there were more and more places that made him wonder, one thing is, what is the name of the current god master?
It seems that no one has ever paid attention to this problem, and everyone only knows that she is called the lord of the castle (now the god lord), but their name is not known at all.
Guchengnan doesn't know either, and even now, no one knows about those high-ranking officials in Yuecheng Mansion.
Isn't that unreasonable? It's also unbelievable that the name of the supreme ruler is not even known.
Gu Chengnan found that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were a lot of problems, and since Moon Heart Island had been isolated from the world all along, how did they learn so much information from the outside?
I even know the term "mainland", as well as all kinds of information about the mainland.
These...... Is it really a completely closed island to know?
How many mysteries are hidden on this island?
At this moment, a distorted black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, and walked slowly towards him with very strange movements.
Guchengnan, who was in thought, was completely unaware of all this......
