Chapter Seventy-Three: New Clues
"Lao Jiang, please tell me, what is the current Ah Shen is not the former Ah Shen?" Yu Yue got on the boat from the speedboat and asked in the sea breeze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lao Jiang had been guarding the sea for three days and three nights, and his whole beard was unshaven and haggard. Even so, there is still no news of poker face. He sat on the deck, looked up at Yu Yue, smiled sadly, and said nothing.
"Lao Jiang, don't sell Guanzi, tell Yu Yue."
Yu Yue frowned slightly, looked back at Zhuo Fan, tilted his head and asked, "You know?" ”
Mayisha on Zhuo Fan's side looked at Zhuo Fan in embarrassment, and then shifted her gaze to Yu Yue, "Yu Yue ......"
Yu Yue's gaze swept over Mayisha, and Mayisha's expression immediately made Yu Yue understand something, and she smiled bitterly, "Do you also know what Lao Jiang is going to say?" ”
Ma Yisha grabbed Zhuo Fan's hand in embarrassment, "Teacher Zhuo, for now, let's tell Yu Yue!" ”
Lao Jiang stood up with his support on the deck, and because he had been sitting in a fixed position for a long time, his legs were a little numb and he couldn't stand up straight, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go into the cabin." With that, he moved into the cabin step by step.
Lao Jiang sat on the edge of the sofa in the cabin, and Yu Yue naturally sat on the sofa opposite Lao Jiang. Zhuo Fan and Ma Yisha sat on Lao Jiang's side.
Yu Yue swept the three of them, the gentle expression on his face was no longer there, but was replaced by a serious face, "Say it." She said short but forcefully.
Lao Jiang pondered for a while, but he didn't know how to speak. He can tell the truth, but he doesn't know where to start.
Seeing Lao Jiang hesitating, Zhuo Fan looked at Yu Yue and asked, "Why did you and Ah Shen decide not to get married in the end?" ”
"Is that the point?" Yu Yue's heart trembled, and she didn't know until now, the overflowing resistance in her heart at that time, although she knew that she would regret it later, she still decisively canceled the wedding.
"That's the point." Zhuo Fan was Yu Yue's boss after all, and no matter how personal the question was, he forced Yu Yue to retreat to the position of a subordinate.
Yu Yue lowered her head slightly, "Actually, I don't know, it's not my decision alone......"
Zhuo Fan and Lao Jiang beside him looked at each other, and Lao Jiang nodded to Zhuo Fan tiredly.
Zhuo Fan crossed his hands and propped his elbows on his knees, "Yu Yue, what we said next may surprise you and you can't believe it......" Zhuo Fan paused and continued, "And we don't have any evidence, but you have to believe us." ”
Yu Yue's body shook slightly, and she felt once again that Zhuo Fan was not discussing with her, but telling her. What they are about to say is not speculation, let alone inference, but real facts. She hesitated a little dazedly for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Zhuo Fan closed his eyes, thought through everything in his mind, and finally found the thread in the mess, "Poker face, you know, right?" ”
Yu Yue nodded. She vaguely felt that what they were going to say had something to do with Pokerface, but she hadn't known Pokerface for a long time, and she didn't know much about him. Why should everyone look at her like this, as if she had a close relationship with poker face? She opened her mouth slightly to ask something.
Zhuo Fan interrupted her, "Don't ask, listen to me." ”
Yu Yue suppressed the curiosity in her heart.
"Do you remember the first time we went to the Guizhou Cave, the deputy leader of the construction team?"
"Hmm." Yu Yue nodded again. Of course, she remembered that the deputy captain of the construction team was not an ordinary person in terms of skills and wilderness survival skills. What makes Yu Yue even more haunted is his identity. "He's not the deputy leader of the construction team." Yu Yue added.
Zhuo Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Yes, of course he is not." Zhuo Fan raised his eyes and looked at Yu Yue, "Because he has a poker face." ”
"I saw that the man was wearing a ......"
"Wearing a human skin mask." Zhuo Fan answered first. "He's actually about the same age as us, but he had an accident and his appearance grew old instantly, so he had to wear a mask."
"Because of the door of the world, it's the same as my father......" Lao Jiang said on the side. He had been sitting on the deck for a few days and nights, and now he was finally a little overwhelmed and wanted to sleep.
"The Gate of the Realm?" Yu Yue was puzzled. "All along, I don't know what you're looking for the Gate of the Realm?"
"Ma Yisha and I, as well as Lao Jiang's family, have guarded the secrets of the Gate of the World of Things for generations, but they are only part of it, and we still can't find the Gate of the World of Things when we put them together. But poker face, he desperately wants to find the door to the world. Because the year before last, there was an accident in the poker face, and after returning from the gate of the world, his body changed...... "Zhuo Fan cleared his throat, "That's what I just said, I grew old in an instant." He believed that by finding the door to the world, he could find a way to restore his body. ”
"That'...... Did you find it? Hearing this, Yu Yue didn't feel very sincerely, after all, she and Poker Face only met in Pingshui, and they had a few intersections, but they didn't have deep friendships. What surprised her was why the expressions of everyone present seemed to indicate that she had a deep intersection with Pokerface, and that she would have something to do with Pokerface's disappearance this time?
"We've found the exit to the door of the world." Lao Jiang said calmly, his voice was already a little erratic.
"Exit?" Yu Yue repeated.
"Yes, in the cave." Lao Jiang's voice was very soft, "The statue of the Queen Mother of the West on that stone wall." It's the clue. Later, Pokerface and I went back again and opened the exit of the door to the world. ”
"What about the entrance?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Fan and Ma Yisha stopped talking, because from then on, only Lao Jiang could explain what happened.
"We deduce that in this sea. Because my dad and Luo Jin are all here. Although Duanmulong said that this is just an artificially opened door to the world, we still have to come and see if we don't give up. ”
"Haven't you and Pokerface been together all the time? How could he have lost his news? ”
"We went into the sea at the same time, but the waves were too big, and when I dived into the water, I didn't see a poker face......" Lao Jiang Wuxin told Yu Yue the specific details.
Yu Yue is a little careless, she has just experienced twenty-six years of great changes in her life, and she is very tired both physically and mentally. "Call the police." Yu Yue said softly, "Please ask the police to search for poker face." ”
Old Jiang shook his head, "It's useless." The best time for search and rescue has been missed, and ...... I've looked for it all within a few miles. ”
"Will he find the door to the world?" Mayisha said, trying to comfort Lao Jiang. "As before, once again through the Gate of the Realm. It was okay the summer before last, and so it is now. Maisha pulled out an atlas from her backpack, "I was a little concerned when I came here just now, but now I suddenly remember. She opened the atlas, a hand-drawn atlas, as she spoke, "Look, this place. She spread out the atlas in front of Lao Jiang and pointed to a small irregular figure on it, "This, doesn't it look like an island there?" Maisha raised her hand to the southeast.
There was a small turquoise island, vague, but also very clear under the blue sky.
"I didn't understand why there was such an irregular pattern on the whole land, but when I came here just now, I realized that it symbolized an island." She snapped the atlas shut, "We're going to go up and have a look." ”
"It's all this time...... Lao Jiang said, obviously not in the mood to echo Mayisha's suggestion.
"Listen to me, I know you're not in the mood. But this atlas was taught to me by my grandfather. It wasn't until after my grandfather passed away that I understood what this atlas meant. You see. She opened the atlas again and turned over the previous page, which had many small holes, through which she could see some of the locations in the atlas. She pulls out a marker and draws marks on the holes. "Look." She flipped through the atlas, and many dots appeared on it. "These points should be the location of the Hundred Ghost Box. And where the box of the hundred ghosts is located, there must be a clue to the gate of the world. You see. Once again, she spread out the atlas in front of everyone.
"That island ......" Yu Yue, who was sitting opposite, exclaimed first, only to see that on the entire atlas, there was only one small dot in all places, except for the island, which was painted red with a marker. (To be continued.) )
