Chapter Twenty-Seven: Different Worlds
At dawn the next day, when the dawn ushered in the first dazzling light, even the cherry blossom grass beside the river lowered its head in shyness, and the rushing river also quieted down after the tide receded last night, and the water was roaring. The valley echoed with the chirping of the warbler, they spread their wings freely, bathed in this pale red warm sun, perhaps for too long to enjoy such a beautiful moment, they rose and low, left and right, and after crossing a valley, they disappeared, and the joyful cry faded away. The deep or tender green locust poplar tree is also dressed in a pale red patterned coat, and even the halo on the car window looks so beautiful, driving away all the previous gloom and showing the light.
Zhou Meng gradually opened her eyes, even though the pain in her neck made her numb, her mind was still very agile, and the panic left over from last night came back to her heart as she woke up. The first thing she did when she woke up from the back seat was to find that the blanket she was wearing on her body, covering her chest, still hadn't suppressed the pain that hit her heart. Then I saw Mu Tianyu lying next to him, he fell asleep, did not wake up, put a shoulder on the front seat under his neck, turned his face sideways, and looked peaceful and comfortable. But soon, Zhou Meng found the blood stains on his chest, and a tremor of surprise woke him up.
"What's wrong?" Mu Tianyu opened his eyes slightly, lifted up from the back seat, and his right retreat in the gap in the front seat was numb, and he pulled it out with both hands. "It's all dawn?" He opened the window, and a breeze wafted in with the scent of cherry blossoms, and the sound of running water.
"yes, it's dawn." Zhou Meng replied, and also opened the car window, feeling such a beautiful morning, but soon found something. "It's so familiar, oh, I remember, it's the lower banks of the Rhine." She opened the car door and walked down, in her memory, a few years ago, she also stood in place, staring at the river in front of her, but the mood at that time was very different from this time, time is indeed the best medicine for self-healing trauma. "Right here, that bleak and tragic scene happened here." Zhou Meng said to Mu Tianyu who was standing on the edge of the river, and his left hand delicately stroked his charming hair and clamped it to his ear.
"It's all gone, just like this Rhine, long gone as it goes." Mu Tianyu stared at the end of the Rhine Lake, and sighed in his heart, the river should have entered Tiandu Peak through the underground channel of the valley, and the terrain there happened to be low, so the corpse of the police officer would appear in the depths of the dense forest of Tiandu Peak.
"Is it all over?" Zhou Meng couldn't believe it, everything that happened made her seem to exist in a dream, she had never been so confused as she was at this time, and in previous cases, she always knew more than other police officers.
"Yes, it passed." Mu Tianyu turned around and walked to the car, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are inexplicable phenomena in this world, if you have to figure it out, wouldn't it be a headache, sometimes what you see with your own eyes is the most profound understanding, and you can't delve into anything anymore." ”
Zhou Meng stared at the calm lake, she couldn't predict all this, maybe it was really as Mu Tianyu said, what she saw with her own eyes was the most fundamental answer. She turned the car around and drove in the direction she had come from last night, but without any more bumps or pits, looking out at the desolate path, all the way unimpeded. "Can you answer me a question?" She saw that Mu Tianyu didn't seem to want to talk about it, so she tried to ask curiously, and if the other party refused, she could understand. "Actually, it's just a small question." She explained, turning the wheel and driving onto the Rhine Avement.
"Okay." Mu Tianyu compromised, he didn't think that telling Zhou Meng about this matter was the best choice, she was a police officer, she needed the most focused and objective judgment, once it was involved in supernatural events, it would completely subvert her perception of the worldview, not only for her own future, but even for the entire police community It would be a great loss. After all, she is the honor of the police in Tiandu, and she is favored by people from all walks of life with a very high rate of solving cases.
"Why did the place where the Rhine collapsed become a ghost domain?" She glanced at Mu Tianyu who was in a daze, and explained: "It's the space-time rift you said, I think the ghost domain is more in line with the environment. ”
"Last night's place was not called the Ghost Domain, it was called the Space-Time Rift." Mu Tianyu replied in a deep voice, staring out the window, a truck drove by, carrying some organic chemicals, and the one-time handling capacity was so huge, presumably the factory was not small.
Zhou Meng muttered, it was the first time she had been denied her opinion so harshly, but she was a little nervous with pleasure in her heart, so she just squeaked: "Oh." ”
Mu Tianyu came back to his senses, stretched out his arms behind his head, and said leisurely: "But the ghost domain you said does exist, and it is two completely different places from the space-time rift, and that place is called the Otherworld. He noticed that Zhou Meng glanced at the water glass beside him, and handed it to her.
"Thank you, thank you." Zhou Meng replied hesitantly, surprised in his heart, how did he know that I wanted to drink water.
"As for why the place where the Rhine collapsed became a rift in time and space, in fact, the reason is very simple, every disaster area will have a certain amount of resentment, those innocent dead did not expect the disaster to befall them, once the resentment accumulates, the breeding of evil forces is more likely to appear. Most of the strange paths that are called murderous houses or have had tragic car accidents are because of this. Moreover, before the collapse, there was already a resentment entangled there, so this is where the rift in time and space came from. Mu Tianyu did not mention the disappearance of the police officer, a resentment caused by his body floating down the river.
"What about hospitals? On average, people die almost every day, and it is not ruled out whether the sick person had a grudge before he died. Zhou Meng is a police officer, she guesses that there are many examples, the hospital is indeed a place that puzzles her, it is also a place she frequents, and police duties are one of the high-risk workers.
"It's rare for a hospital to have such incidents, but it's not ruled out that the next time you go there to handle a case, you will find that there is something like an offering at the front desk on every floor. There are many kinds of deities in the temple, most of them are angels, but no matter what kind of offerings are made, the result is the same, and faith will give the region the protection of the Holy Light, which is the nemesis of those evil forces. The church your mother frequented was a powerful sanctuary that would not have been a great force of evil. ”
Zhou Meng took a deep breath, although it was the first time she heard about such knowledge, she did not reject it, nodded and continued to ask: "But Yang Na's disappearance, what's going on?" Although this is a paranormal event, how did she do it? That's an exaggeration. ”
Mu Tianyu said helplessly, and the other party's question was out of control. "Paranormal events are inherently unbelievable and unexpected, Yang Na and her sister are twins, this is a special group, they must have an unpredictable way of contact, and even reach a common thinking judgment and choice. Although the two are in a different place, their emotional state is very consistent, which is called telepathy in psychological terms, which is completely consistent with the symptoms. So that night, when she went to the scene of the crime, I thought it was due to the soul sensing of her late sister, who was wearing a headset at the time, and her soul fluctuations would disturb the electromagnetic field, so this also added to her influence. Once the electromagnetic field is out of order, the surveillance screen is easier to explain, and I have every reason to believe that the two figures you see in the surveillance screen, one of them is indeed Yang Na, but the other is her sister. Mu Tianyu picked up the teacup, and his mouth was already a little dry before the water was in. Mind if I take a sip? After all, this is the other party's cup, and women prefer to be clean, so he subconsciously asked.
Zhou Meng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, Mu Tianyu drank it all, and also took some tea leaves, but he spit it back into the cup without hesitation, this scene surprised Zhou Meng. "Do you still remember the two tourists from out of town on the night of Yang Na's disappearance? In their confessions, they mentioned that they felt as if they were being led by something, and only people who were possessed by evil spirits would have such symptoms. ”
Zhou Meng was silent for a long time, Mu Tianyu has always been a very decent man, and the scene just now really surprised him. "So, are you a legendary witcher? Like in the movies, someone who specializes in hunting demons? But Zhou Meng didn't care, and still asked curiously.
"That's your fourth question." Mu Tianyu looked out the window and said coldly, "Thank you, I'm here." Zhou Meng was stunned, she didn't expect the other party to be angry, her cheeks were crimson, and she was nervous, but in the end she pulled over helplessly. Mu Tianyu asked at the moment of closing the car door, "A few years ago, was there a child kidnapping case here?" ”
"Child kidnapping?" Zhou Meng's expression was very ugly, her eyes were red, and she took a deep breath: "It seems, it doesn't seem to be, there has been no disappearance of children in Tiandu." ”
"Oh." Mu Tianyu didn't dare to look her in the eyes, and continued to ask, "Then, do you know a person with a beard and a scar on his forehead?" ”
"Bearded? Got a scar on your forehead? Zhou Meng repeated, pondered for a moment, nodded, and hurriedly said: "Zheng Ju, the former chief of the police station, he was injured in a criminal case in his early years, and almost everyone in the police force knows that that scar is his glory. However, he seems to have retired a few years ago and became a businessman, and now he is a shopping mall tycoon in Tiandu. ”
Boom! A heavy sound of closing the door shattered Zhou Meng's whole heart, her happy smile froze on her face, the back outside the window had gradually faded away, she came back to her senses, breathed deeply, the tears in her eyes instantly blurred her vision, her heart tingled, it hurt so much that she couldn't even breathe, in the noisy city, in the busy streets, only her sad cry, lingering in the car, intensified.
The tail of the car in his eyes finally disappeared around the corner, Mu Tianyu stared at the city in the early morning, even if the sun was brilliant, it couldn't illuminate the dark corner of his heart. "I'm sorry, I can only cause you harm, you should have a happy and beautiful life, but the person who accompanies you is not me...... I'm sorry. ”
Psychics are lonely, and those who wander between psychics and infidels are lonely......
