Chapter 217: Embarrassment
Ye Xianguo? Who is Ye Xianguo, I rummaged through all the memories in my brain, but I didn't find any information about this person at all.
Could it be that the figure in red is deceiving me? Judging from the previous conversation, this guy knew me clearly, and besides, there was no need for him to lie in this situation.
"Goofy, or maybe you don't remember it now. But don't worry, you'll remember it in a little while! The red-clothed figure spoke slowly, still in that hoarse tone, which made people sound very uncomfortable.
Seeing that the figure in red had no ill will towards me, gradually, he became bolder, and simply asked, "How did you kill this dwarf?" β
"I didn't kill him, it was the evil deeds he committed that killed himself after all!"
"But, how much does that guy's crazy self-harm just now have anything to do with you?"
"I'm just a guide, and as you can see, this dwarf died by suicide. Actually, even if I hadn't been here today, this bastard would still have died, and the cultists wouldn't let this traitor go easily! β
"Cultists? Who are the cultists! β
I strongly feel that, like Lao Yan and Lin Bayi, this Ye Xianguo is one of the few people who knows all the truth, and the "cultists" referred to in the previous words should be related to Yu Tianlong or even the "Indoctrination Field" plan. If Ye Xianguo is willing to be honest now, a series of previous things may be explained.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my words fell, Ye Xianguo pulled the dwarf corpse towards the originally dark path, and he didn't mean to talk nonsense with me at all.
"Hey, Brother Ye, don't go, stay and talk more? Feed! β
"Goofy, the way forward is up to you! Don't worry, I don't belong to this world, after killing the dwarf, I will disappear completely, you can do it yourself. β
Ignoring the pain in my thighs, I rushed like mad to the mound in front of me with the saber, cut the rope in my hand, and tried to catch up.
However, after I reacted, Ye Xianguo's shadow was no longer visible on the path on the hillside.
"Damn!" I yelled and slammed the rope in my hand to the ground.
Want me to be reassured? Don't worry, uncle!
This bastard just appeared out of nowhere, and then fucked the dwarf.
Now it's okay, the clue is broken again when it comes to the gnome, not only about Yu Tianlong and the indoctrination field plan, but also the strange things that happened in this small village are also related to the batch of bath salts brought in by the dwarf, if he is spared, maybe that bastard can reveal more clues to me.
I pulled a cigarette out of my pocket, lit it slowly, and took a sharp puff. The spicy smell swept over my body with nicotine and quickly calmed me down.
Now that the matter has come to this, let's think about a solution first.
The murderer killed the camel in such a cruel way, obviously to vent his anger, and based on the relationship between the camel and the dwarf, I boldly speculated that the other party would put the next target on the dwarf. Originally, I wanted to use him to lure out the murderer hiding in the village, but what happened tonight completely disrupted my plan.
With the death of the dwarf, this plan is completely unworkable, and another measure must be devised as soon as possible to target the murderer, otherwise, the affairs of this village alone will already overwhelm me, let alone rush to L Mansion 37 to deal with the strange case of decades ago.
That's right! L House No. 37!
For a moment, as if something critical had flashed through my mind, my whole body trembled unconsciously.
I vaguely remember that the family that disappeared inexplicably at No. 37 L Mansion back then, and their male owner seems to be surnamed Ye.
At that time, it was widely speculated in the police circles that the murderer of the case was the male owner surnamed Ye, who killed the whole family that night, and then evaporated with the corpses of the whole family.
remembered that before Ye Xianguo left, he had inadvertently said, "I don't belong to this worldγγγγγ βγ It was his words that made me more sure of my conjecture just now.
If this Ye Xianguo is really the male owner surnamed Ye at No. 37 L House, then this guy must be in his eighties, to say the least. From his previous walking posture and even the movements of the dwarf, there was no trace of fatigue.
Damn, if the dwarf hadn't stabbed my leg, maybe I would have chased after it by now, but the outer thigh has already shown signs of infection and even swelling, let alone running, even walking is difficult.
After thinking about it for a while, it was better to rush back to the hotel first, otherwise, Lin Jie and Xiaoxue didn't know what to worry about.
Gritting his teeth, he used his left leg as a fulcrum and barely climbed down the hill.
Just this little distance already made me sweat profusely, and every time I pulled the injured muscles, the pain was heart-wrenching. If I were to make it all the way back to the village in this state, I don't know what the pain would be.
It was getting darker and darker, and now it was about two o'clock in the morning, and the whole mountain was still sleeping, and I seemed to be the stranger, walking alone through the mountain.
"Whew!" A terrible wolf howl was extremely eye-catching, and it made my back break out in a cold sweat.
Although Ye Xianguo didn't hurt me, it didn't seem to be much different from directly killing me in this big mountain like this.
First, I injured my right leg and had difficulty moving. Second, there was no light, only moonlight and vague memories could barely force the way towards the village along the remaining bloodstains near the mountain road.
It's also embarrassing to think about it, this bloodstain was originally deliberately left by the dwarf in order to let the dragon follow him in the sky, but now, it seems to have become one of the few things I can rely on.
I still have a saber in my hand to protect myself, and if any beast really wants to treat me as a dinner, I still have the capital to resist.
With each step, the pain from the wound was unprecedented, the pain and exhaustion continued to erode my body, and the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss made me almost take a few steps and have to stop and breathe for a long time. To make matters worse, the wound infection seemed to be causing a fever in my body's immune system, and I felt like my head was now warm under the covers.
To be honest, I've lived for so long, and I've never had such a hard time living like I have now, and if I continue in this terrible situation, I may not make it back to the village and fall. At this moment, I cursed that dwarf a hundred times in my heart, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have fallen into this situation.
"Hey... Goofy, you look like you're a little embarrassed? Suddenly, the figure appeared beside me again, still in an old tone and a familiar face.
"Didn't you see it all?" The reappearance of the figure was an extremely bad sign, because my mental condition gradually became unstable because of the fever.
"That's right... The figure muttered, then walked over, took out a cigarette from my arms, and slowly lit it: "If you want me to say, you should have killed that dwarf before, at least cut off the tesuji to make that guy unable to move, if it were me, I would definitely do it!" β
"You damn it, don't compare me to you!"
"Don't do that! Actually, we're all the same! β
"Shut up, I'm not like you!"
The words of the figure once again evoked the dusty memories of seven years ago.
That disaster has always been a scar in my heart. Even though the wound had healed, the imprint remained on it forever, so this time, I didn't stop to talk to him, but continued to go back the way I came from.
"Goofy, no matter how hard you are, you still can't deceive yourself after all, you will need me! After all, I've been protecting you for the past seven years! β
"I don't need you anymore!" Gritting my teeth, I quickened my pace and soon crossed a tree-lined path, but even so, I could strongly feel that the figure had been following me all along, following me like a shadow.
Gradually, the lack of oxygen and dizziness began to flood my brain, and I just relied on my body's instinct to take a mechanical step.
In the next second, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and put it directly on my body, affected by external forces, one center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person fell down heavily.
