Chapter 9: The River of Fate Flows Slowly

Previous Chapter

"There's no need!" Chen Mo frowned and looked at the closed small door, as if the figure of the Demon Mountain was hovering on the side of the small door.

"I have to go in and take a look, this is the only clue that is possible to find Lao Xie and solve the mystery of the monster at the moment, I can't turn a blind eye, you open the door, if you don't want us to withdraw at any time."

Song Yunzhe actually admired Chen Mo's calm and sensitive attitude when encountering things, but it was a pity that although the age difference was not big, he did not have the enthusiasm of young people at all, but was more sophisticated and indifferent, he naturally would not force others to do this kind of dangerous thing, and motioned Chen Mo to retreat and stand alone in front of Xie Xiaorui's bedroom door.

Seeing Chen Mo open the door, Song Yunzhe took a deep breath, tightened the gun in his hand, pushed the door open, and then both of them reflexively dodged to the side.

After a while, when I came back to my senses, the whole room was intact, as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion.

"No bullet holes!" Song Yunzhe walked into the room and said in a sighing tone that if everything before was just an illusion, then the three bullets missing from the pistol were the most powerful counterproof.

Chen Mo stood at the door and looked at the divination board on the table silently, the divination board that had been broken under the hands of the Demon Mountain had returned to its original state at this time, only the traces of his own movement, and at this moment, the feeling of being covered with dust in the entire holiday had disappeared, I don't know if it was related to the crisis of that moment.

Looking out the window, the huge shadow of the Magic Mountain still stands, but it wanders among the other buildings.

Song Yunzhe took a deep breath, took off his clothes and wrapped it in the divination board, he brought a bag to store the evidence, but unfortunately he didn't expect the evidence to be so big.

After carefully looking around this room, the layout of the room is the same as the girl in his impression, pure and lovely, yesterday he promised Lao Xie to pick up the girl by the way after the patrol mission was completed, it seems that yesterday was the girl's birthday, but today it has become a cold corpse on the morgue, and even more bizarre secrets may be hidden behind it.

Song Yunzhe sighed, saw that there was no more special things, and then wrapped the divination board and picked it up and walked out.

"Let's go." Song Yunzhe said, maybe he should thank God for sending Chen Mo here, at least so far, this case is not clueless.

According to the regulations, the property should be returned in time after the key is used up, of course, it can also be taken to the police station for evidence, but at present, Lao Xie has not been missing for more than 72 hours, and there is no way to file a case, so Song Yunzhe still has to call the property to return the key after going downstairs.

The property is not far away, and it is still Xiao Li who sent the keys before.

"Brother Song, finished reading?" Xiao Li stepped forward to take the key and asked about the case by the way, which can be regarded as a concern for the old neighbor.

"Yes, we're back in the bureau too, you're busy, thank you!" Song Yunzhe was polite and waved his hand.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's expression moved, and he looked into the distance behind Xiao Li.

"What kind of shop is there?" Chen Mo patted Xiao Li and pointed to a store in the distance and asked, the store was backlit, and only an old-fashioned glass counter could be seen.

"There? There is a clock shop, which sells clock repairs, and there is an old man surnamed Mu in it. Xiao Li said indifferently.

Chen Mo's eyes flashed, and he randomly greeted Song Yunzhe and said:

"Let's go over and see."

Song Yunzhe naturally knew that Chen Mo must have seen something again, so he immediately sent Xiao Li back and walked towards the watch shop first.

"Do you two want to fix your watch or buy something?" Old Man Mu is a very old man, his back has been bowed like a lobster, his face is full of bark wrinkles with a pair of reading glasses, he has to roll his eyelids to see people's faces when he talks to people, and there is an old horse lamp on the counter, more like a ghost than a person.

Chen Mo didn't have time to pay attention to him at all, he only looked at the clock in the store, and in Chen Mo's eyes, the phantom of another clock appeared next to the largest quartz clock in the store, but the time pointed to ten twenty, a big angle.

It's amazing, this is the first time Chen Mo has seen the phantom of the artifact.

"Look for the guy who just came in, he's already out the back door." Seeing that neither of them spoke, the old man picked up a rag and began to wipe his horse lamp, talking as he wiped.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Mo's face suddenly changed: "Who are you?" You just saw something! ”

The old man just wiped the lantern by himself, and didn't seem to hear Chen Mo's voice.

Song Yunzhe is not a stupid person, he immediately understood the meaning of the conversation between the two, obviously Chen Mo saw the figure of a monster and even Officer Xie, and similarly, this old man also saw it.

"Mr., I am a police officer from the S City Public Security Bureau, and now we are investigating a murder case, I hope you can cooperate with the investigation." Song Yunzhe took out his police officer card and said, holding the pistol secretly behind his back with one hand, even an old man did not dare to take these strange people and things lightly.

Listening to Song Yunzhe's words, the old man smiled inexplicably, took out a match and carefully lit the lantern.

The horse lantern lit up the dim light, and the beating flames illuminated the faces of the three people very strangely, and the world outside the light seemed to fall into darkness inexplicably, which was obviously only a little more than six o'clock, but for a while, the two did not notice this strange phenomenon.

"What do police students want to know?" The old man asked.

"Who did you just see? That's how you see it? Song Yunzhe glanced at Ma Deng and asked.

"I saw the soul of a girl, turned the quartz clock in my shop, and ran away, I can always see it!" The old man said with a smile.

Chen Song and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes.

"What the hell are they? Why can we see them! Chen Mo stepped forward and asked eagerly. Growing so big, finally having someone like him, he desperately wanted to know what was going on.

"Don't worry, young man, the river of fate flows slowly, eagerly and relaxed, it will not change its trend, sit down, and listen to me slowly." The old man took out two Maza from behind the counter, slowly walked around the counter, and placed Maza behind the two of them.

The two were naturally anxious to know the truth of all this, but they couldn't help but sit down at this moment.

When the old man saw that the two were sitting, he took out a small square piece of paper from his arms, took out a little tobacco from a small wooden box, poured it on it, rolled it up, and slowly lit it.

Just when the patience of the two was almost exhausted, the old man took a puff of cigarette, spit out a layer of smoke, and began to say slowly:

"Time does not move forward straight, sometimes it also goes backwards, but the direction of fate does not change, so there is this world and the other world." The old man paused, and took another serious puff on his cigarette.

"What's in this realm and the other world?" Chen Mo seemed to have touched something.

"It's just a common saying, you can also call it the earth and the parallel earth, one that carries the present of the earth, and the other that carries the past and future of the earth." The old man said lightly, as if in his tone, he didn't have much affection for Chen Mo.

"And what's going on with those monsters?" Song Yunzhe glanced at Chen Mo, and then said.

"Monsters? In your eyes they are monsters? Hehe, maybe in their eyes, you're a strange species. Okay young man, you may be able to ask your questions for divination, the river of fate is very generous, it's nice to meet you, but it's the rules of the game not to reveal the mystery, see you next time, maybe I'll give you some hints again, and I'll meet again! The old man smiled mysteriously, blew at the flame of the lantern, and suddenly fell into darkness.

The two of them hurriedly stood up, and the light suddenly entered their eyes again, and when they came back to their senses, they were only standing at the door of the watch shop, and the largest quartz clock and phantom in the store were still there, but the boss had become a chubby gray-haired old man, and he couldn't see the appearance of his old age in the slightest when he was healthy.

"Are you two fixing your watch or buying something?" Seeing the two of them standing at the door of the store for a long time, the old man couldn't help but ask across the counter.

The two looked at each other in horror, quickly shook their heads, and quickly left the watch shop. Only the boss was left confused to look at the backs of the two of them leaving in a hurry.
