Chapter 356: The Golden House in the Brain (2)
Turning into the front street of the provincial capital again, the street lights are all lit up, and from time to time there are car lights sweeping by, which makes people have nothing to hide.
I felt a little nervous, so I stopped behind a thick plane tree and took a deep breath to calm my beating heart.
The consequences of killing Yan Graffiti are immeasurable, and I must do it for the safety of the whole city. If a mad man like him is allowed to hide under the Whip Finger Alley, innocent people will be victimized at any time.
This matter should have been done by the predecessors of the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately, everyone is protecting themselves, turning a blind eye and letting the forces of the Yan Wangfu enter my hometown.
"Whoever endangers the people, he will be killed. "I looked at the traffic and pedestrians on the street, and once again swore an oath in my heart.
"Mr. Xia. Xixi's right hand was on my shoulder, "You're tired." ”
I was tired, but it wasn't time to stop and rest.
"It's okay, I can hold it. I shook my head in response.
"If you don't feel well, we can change the time separately. She said.
There was a stone bench next to the tree, and I sat down with my arms in the evening.
"The 'Brain-Eating Technique' is extremely harmful, and I must stop the wicked from doing evil deeds. The life and death of my own person is nothing, the people of the rivers and lakes are in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the most important thing is not to let the innocent people suffer. I replied.
All ordinary people want is a stable and quiet living environment, where they can earn money to support their families and share the joy of father's love and filial piety. They don't know much, and they don't want much, so the people in the rivers and lakes with thaumaturgy have the obligation and responsibility to escort the people.
With great power comes great responsibility - this has always been the ancestral motto of the thaumaturgical world. If you can't do things for the country and the people, what's the point of having a body of thaumaturgy?
"You see, this is my hometown, the place where I was born and raised. My roots are in this soil, and if I don't maintain it, who can I count on?" I said with a wry smile.
Whether Xi Xi understands it or not, I have to say it. Maybe after tonight, I won't have a chance to speak.
Yan Graffiti is not a baby without the power of a chicken, but a giant crocodile lurking under the Nine Shadows. I have the courage to kill him, but I don't necessarily have the luck to get a blow and get out of the way.
What I said is the heart of every Jianghu person who loves this city, although it cannot be seen in the newspaper and let everyone see it, but it is every word of blood and true feelings, like a cuckoo crying blood.
Sitting here, I can feel the helplessness and powerlessness of the anti-Japanese athletes seventy or eighty years ago. Countless real men and men threw their heads and spilled their blood in order to defend this city, but in the end, they could only lie in a pool of blood and watch the sun flag of the Japanese invaders flutter above the gate tower of the West City.
Back then, they must have exhausted their last breath of strength and shouted out the sentence that made the Chinese people tearful and enthusiastic-"I have the intention to kill the thief, but I have no power to return to the sky!"
I know that anything is possible, and tonight maybe I will follow the old path of the anti-Japanese athletes and water this ancient land with my blood.
"Mr. Xia, I can understand your mood at the moment. In the past ten years, no one on the rivers and lakes has dared to touch the Yan Wangfu, and its power has become stronger and stronger. It is rumored that the 'Xiongnu Jingwei' is still alive, and it is precisely because of her existence that the foundation of the Yanwang Mansion has been built deeper and deeper, and has extended far under the Arctic ice and soil, and has a close relationship with the head of the secret base left by the former Eastern European powers......" Xixi sighed and gently patted the stone bench.
My heart thumped, and my nervousness skyrocketed again.
In the legends of the rivers and lakes, "Xiongnu Jingwei" is not a person, but a god, or the title of a "god", which has been passed down from the Han Dynasty to the present.
"Xiongnu" was a major disaster in the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty, and "Jingwei" was a sacred bird that dared to fight the god of the sea in ancient mythology. Linking the two together as honorific titles has actually expressed the infinite worship of the people for a half-human and half-god.
The last time the "Xiongnu Jingwei" appeared in modern times should be the year when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing and the Empress Dowager of the West escaped the palace. It is rumored that the person who really turned the tide and straightened the country was the Xiongnu Jingwei, and if she did not take action, the Eight-Nation Coalition would never give up.
"It's horrible. I sighed from the bottom of my heart.
"Yes, the 'Hun Jingwei' is unfathomable. Who else dares to stand up against her in today's rivers and lakes?" Xixi said.
"I don't dare, but I must kill Yan Tuya and eliminate his 'Brain Eating Technique'. I only have one life, and I only do this one thing. I said.
Fighting against the "Xiongnu Jingwei" is something that the people of the rivers and lakes dare not think of, just like when the Monkey King tried in vain to fight against the West Sky Rulai, but was knocked down by the hand of the clouds and rain and suppressed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain.
I have self-knowledge and a goal that must be accomplished, and the two are not contradictory, just like a moth fighting a fire and a spring silkworm spinning silk. I know that I want to die, but I must die meaningfully and with dignity.
"Let's go, come in at the back door, and when you get it, go out the front door. I said.
Xixi wanted to say something more, but I gently shook my head to stop her.
At this time, gritting your teeth and going down one way is more important than anything else.
When I arrived at the back door of the café, I pressed Xixi's shoulder and whispered, "You wait for half a minute, there is no movement inside, you go in again." ”
Since we pretended to be Yan Gexing and Bai Fenfang, we had to not let two "Bai Fenfang" appear in the café at the same time, so that everything would be in trouble.
Xi Xi nodded, and immediately moved sideways, hiding in the shadows.
This short five-step alley is very secluded, and there is no one to be seen except for a green bin.
Last time, I had already taken a closer look, and there were no cameras installed on the walls and eaves above, so it was quite safe to hide here.
I pushed the door open, slid in, and closed it.
At this time, there is no business in the café, and it will be at least three hours before there will be well-fed tourists and idlers coming in for coffee. So, now the kitchen was empty, and there was no sound around it, except for a small dim light on the side of the door that led to the front hall.
I walked to the door and listened, but there was no sound outside.
The hostess is dead, and the store will definitely not be able to recruit the right person in a short time, so the front desk should also be empty.
"Hah-" someone yawned loudly outside.
"You boy yawn again, what time are you sleepy?" The proprietress said that she would stay here until twelve o'clock every night, and only turn off the lights and close the door when there were no guests. Alas, you yawn all the time, and I get sleepy. Come on, don't be idle, let's play chess, and wait for the guests to come to the door. Another said.
"Well, we're cooks, not waiters. Take one salary and do two errands. Anyway, the proprietress isn't here, what time does it close, isn't it up to us?" muttered the first person to yawn.
"Let's play chess, play a few games of chess, and I'll stay up until twelve o'clock. Another said.
Then, there was the sound of placing the chessboard and inverting the chess pieces outside, and then there was the sound of "pop, pop" falling, accompanied by the conversation of two people "taking the lead and jumping the horse".
From the conversation between the two people, I knew that Bai Fenfang was not in the store for the time being, so my hanging heart was half relieved.
I stepped back, opened the door, and let the sunset in.
On the north wall of the kitchen is a huge food display case, at least four meters wide and two and a half meters high. This is not normal, because this is a café, not a Chinese restaurant, and there is no need to refrigerate and stock up on a lot of food at all. Moreover, although the various indicators on the display case are on, there is no food on the display shelves in the cabinet.
I walked over and looked through the gap between the display case and the wall, and immediately saw a faint golden light shining through the wall. It is clear that the display case was set up to cover the secret door on the wall, where the portal to the underground is located.
Soon, I found the control button behind the display case, and with a light press, the display case silently slid open to the left, revealing a small stainless steel door two meters high and one meter wide, and the golden light I had seen before was diffused through the gap around the small door.
I gestured to Sunset, and slowly turned the handle on the small door.
Subconsciously, I held my breath, my muscles tensed so much that the arm holding the doorknob almost stiffened.
I don't know what's behind the door, but most likely, it's a passageway, and of course an elevator, that goes underground.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the mirror room that fell into the abyss forever.
The first time I entered the mirror room, I also went down through the elevator to a depth of dozens of meters. After that, I also took another elevator to a depth of 100 meters to the core of the mirror room. Now, everything about the Mirror Room has vanished, and it has fallen into the depths of infinity with all the sophisticated instruments, all people, and all souls, and may never return, and it will become the absolute sound of the world.
This time, if I go down, what will happen?
The lock clicked, and then the door opened backwards, and the golden light hit me, forcing me to close my eyes and immediately avoid it.
Behind the door, there is a short corridor with gold on all four walls, and five steps away, there is a golden elevator.
Xixi and I faced this overwhelming golden world, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, completely stunned.
In addition to the legendary desert tycoon and oil prince, any rich man or big man in other parts of the world would not be so extravagant, and he actually built such a golden corridor and golden elevator in the ancient and old Whip Finger Alley. As you can imagine, the golden elevator must be connected to a golden house, which is the one I saw with my own eyes when I was on a video call with Yan Tuya.
"A person who is extremely psychologically twisted and perverted. "I made a preliminary conclusion about Yan graffiti.
We entered the hallway, pressed the button on the back of the display case again, and it slid to its original position, covering the secret door tightly.
"Summer ...... Mr. Xia, this is the ...... Where are you looking for?" Xixi spoke, her teeth chattering involuntarily.
I nodded, strode forward, and pressed the elevator button.
The tentacles were cold and piercing, and the fingertips felt sticky after touching the steel in winter.
"It's cold, it's too cold...... Finish. Xixi was trembling all over.
Indeed, the temperature in this short corridor is close to freezing, which is the temperature in the cold room of a normal refrigerator.
I held Xixi's hand, only to find that the palms of both of them were equally cold.
When the elevator arrived, the two golden elevator doors slowly parted to both sides, and it was not only the dazzling golden light that came to the face, but also the cold air and ice fog.
I couldn't help but be stunned because it wasn't like an elevator, more like a body locker in a funeral home.
"Something is wrong...... Mr. Xia, it's a little ...... No...... ...... right" Xixi can no longer speak completely.
I opened my arms and took Xixi in my arms.
"Are you afraid?" I asked, looking down.
Xixi took a long breath: "As long as ...... As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid, and I'm not afraid to go anywhere!"
In my heart, I actually wish that she would stay outside and not take risks with me, but if I go alone, it will definitely arouse Yan Tuya's suspicions, and the chances of success will be very small.
"Let's go. Xixi said.
I nodded, since I'm here, I'm going to kill it in one go. It's a big deal, throw this life for the people of the whole city. Why bury the bones, there are green mountains everywhere. Death is death, that's all.
It was extremely cold in the elevator, and when the elevator doors were closed, we stood in the center of the two-meter-square elevator, and the cold air from all directions gathered in the center, and instantly our hair and eyelashes were covered with hoarfrost.
I've let go of the setset because there are cameras mounted in the four top corners of the elevator room, pointed at us from all four directions.
Now, I am "Yan Gexing", and Xixi is "Bai Fragrance", if we show anything inappropriate, I am afraid that we will be dead in the elevator in an instant and turn into a huge ice cube.
The elevator slowly descended, and Xixi and I looked at each other, and could only warm each other with our eyes.
I have seen gold bars and various gold jewelry countless times, but they are all in a normal temperature environment, and I can deeply feel the attraction and allure of these things that exude strange brilliance. But now, I'd rather the walls of gold be turned into quilts, jackets, or even firewood, at least to dispel the chill and keep people alive.
