Chapter 26: Who is the witch
Date: July 13, at 01:00
Luo Sheng lit a candle in the stone room, and when he looked at the time, it was 1 o'clock. However, under the light of the flames, there was no third person in this empty and old stone room except for him and An Yi who was standing aside.
"Didn't come again." An Yi said, his face was full of skeptical expressions, it was better to say that he was very skeptical that there was no such person as a monk who peeled oranges.
Luo Sheng didn't think so, but instead felt the aroma of some kind of plant in the air, and then stared at the two futons in the center of the clearing, one of which seemed to be rubbed against the stain, like mud on it. But he couldn't be sure if the futon wasn't absolutely clean in the first place. In fact, when he came out of the spa pavilion, Luo Sheng felt dizzy, and I am afraid that it was to blame for the essential oil treatment from beginning to end inside.
Looking at it, Luo Sheng found that there was something on the futon, and under the candlelight, the surface of the thing was shining. He walked over......
"It's already here." After speaking, Luo Sheng picked up the thing on the futon—a square piece of cardboard the size of half a palm. Because of the plastic sealing, it shines brightly in the light.
"It's a game card." Luo Sheng said, An Yi also came over, and the two looked at a few lines of small white characters on the card.
A psychic card that says: Is the witch a man? Is the sheriff an ordinary villager?
After reading it, Luo Sheng flipped the card over, and there was a line written on the back: The witch is a doctor.
"This is left by the monks?"
"I don't know."
Luo Sheng shook his head, he couldn't give more answers to An Yi's questions, he just wondered, it was very illogical for this card to appear here at this time.
"But I think you seem to see something." An Yi said, walked around the stone room, and carefully checked the ground with a candle, but didn't seem to find anything, and finally shook his head at Luo Sheng when he walked over.
Luo Sheng was also affected by him and looked around, there was nothing abnormal, and even he was a little inexplicable, An Yi was checking what he was doing just now, but thinking about it, a person like An Yi who was as sharp as an eagle falcon would not behave meaninglessly, and he didn't care. So, Luo Sheng changed his mind and introduced the topic to what he thought was strange.
"I do think it's a little unusual, Siddha doesn't appear at a fixed time, why did this card happen to appear when we were here."
"Let's go out and talk about it, what do you think?"
It seems that An Yi's investigation just now has confirmed that this is the only card that can provide clues here. So I proposed to go directly to the outside with good air to discuss.
Luo Sheng nodded, he also felt that there was no need to stay for a long time. The purpose of coming here is only to get information, and at the moment it seems that the game cards are information.
Coming to the staircase, Luo Sheng looked back at the center of the stone room again, feeling that a thought was beating wildly in his head. Especially the residual smell of the aroma of plants, but what thoughts are coming to mind? Luo Sheng still couldn't think of a clue. It's like in people's memory, something will not come out due to the foreshadowing of a special situation, or a hint, there is a strong sense of familiarity, but I can't remember anything, which is very maddening.
Luo Sheng held the hand of the card tightly, felt some pain in his upper arm, he almost forgot about the injury to his right arm, and then hurriedly covered it with his left hand.
"What's wrong?" An Yi stopped and turned back to ask Luo Sheng behind him.
"It's nothing, how about going to a late-night stall outside the temple and eating and chatting?"
"Well, I was hungry."
Luo Sheng nodded, and thought of the dinner he ate with An Yi, which was in the spa hall, but he had a vague impression of what kind of food he ate. Again, he blamed the oil aromatherapy and massage in the spa that had made him feel drowsy all the time, and it was only after a few days of exertion that his body showed his immeasurable tiredness when he suddenly relaxed. He remembered that he had been receiving massages and medicinal baths all afternoon, perhaps his brain had been oversmoked by those essential oils and herbs, and he felt like his thinking area was covered with a layer of cotton, so he felt that his mind was chaotic. After that, he and An Yi had dinner at the spa, and then went to Tabulun Temple.
It's just that...... Luo Sheng rubbed his temples. He always felt that something was missing, and the frequent headaches finally made him give up dwelling on the problem.
"What did you eat for dinner?"
"Shrimp noodle soup, you watched me eat it." An Yi replied a little loudly.
"Hmm-" Luo Sheng replied thoughtfully. Immediately, the two returned to the city in a tuk tuk that had not yet returned home.
"You said something wrong with this card?"
An Yi sat at the small round table, smoking a cigarette and asked, at this time, the food at the supper stall had already occupied the table, and he and Luo Sheng seemed to like to eat the supper here.
Luo Sheng took out the game cards again, "When we arrived at the monastery, the cards were already in the stone room, but according to the law of the appearance of the monk, or Siddha, how did he know that we would go to the stone room at that time, and what does this mean?" ”
"This thing has been down there for a long time." An Yi said.
Luo Sheng ate beef hot pot and acquiesced to An Yi's statement.
"The last time you went to the stone chamber, did you really see a monk with six hands?" An Yi asked along the topic, it seemed that he had always been unacceptable to Siddha who peeled oranges with three hands. In addition, when he thought he could see is believing, he didn't see anything, only a game card that anyone could leave there, as proof that the superhuman creature had come, and he could not believe it.
"Yes." Luo Sheng did not hesitate at all, "It is indeed three hands, and they are peeling oranges, which is consistent with the information in the Cheng Yin Research Institute." ”
"And what did he give you last time?"
Luo Sheng smiled, laughing a little playfully, "If I didn't give anything to me, would you think that the monk who peeled the orange was made up by me?" ”
"I said I believed you, after that, I will believe whatever you say, of course, you must also be honest, otherwise-" An Yi patted the position of the lower back, and Luo Sheng knew that there was a gun there.
"Last time, he didn't give me anything, just told me that what I was looking for was at the institute, so I went to the institute again."
"Then I left you a card this time, what do you think?" An Yi mouthed at the card Nunu.
"There's already an answer on the card, the witch is a doctor. Who else can I know a doctor? ”
"You mean—"
"The fish is slightly cool. It's just-" Luo Sheng paused, but in this case, he fell into the mode of being led away again, if he just went to find Yu Weiliang like this, what instructions would the other party give him, or who would he continue to find?
Events seem to cycle in a seemingly endless pattern of finding people, and when does the cycle end? The scene of killing people on the roof can't help but float in front of me, whether the end of the cycle is to kill another self. The answer is unequivocal.
Just thinking about it, An Yi's phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
Luo Sheng guessed that nine times out of ten it was Adan calling, but it was still early in the morning, could he have found Luo Sheng 2 so quickly? Still is...... There are other circumstances.
