One day, Angel suddenly asked Li Mo: "Have you ever thought about leaving Black Mist City and seeing the outside world?" ”

Li Mo shook his head without hesitation: "I don't want to." ”

Angel laughed, "Really, I know that almost everyone thinks this way, but they can't leave. ”

Li Mo shook his head very firmly and said, "I don't want to leave." I want to be with you, forever. ”

"What if I'm going to get out of here one day?"

Li Mo said without hesitation: "Wherever you go, I will go." We will never be separated. ”

"Is this a promise?"

"Yes. ”

"You must keep your promises. ”

Angel smiled very happily, looking at her bright and beautiful smile, Li Mo's heart completely melted: Angel, I will do everything I can to protect your smile.

Even if it is the loss of life, it will not be spared.

Well, back to reality.

Li Mo originally planned to help Angel finish the odd jobs at a speed, so he went to Naroba to ask about the five-star mang, but as soon as he saw Angel, he forgot all about Naroba, the five-star mang, and the death prediction. I can't wait to stick to her every minute and every second, smell her fragrance, listen to her heavenly voice, and when I finish my work, it's almost noon.

From this point of view, there are at least two things in Li Mo's life that are more important than death, one is Angel and the other is work.

Bidding farewell to Angel, Li Mo began to look around for Naroba. It's also strange to say, when I didn't want to look for him before, I could bump into each other inexplicably every day, but today I specially looked for him, but I couldn't find it. When I asked the others, they all hesitated for a moment to reminisce before they shouted in surprise, "Yes, I didn't see Naroba today, where will he go?"

Naroba was not near the church, the only possibility was in his home.

He never absentes himself from work without an excuse, and even if he is sick, he still has to move around the jurisdiction. His job is much more expensive than that of others in the church district, and of course, if he loses his job, he will lose more than others.

Naroba's strange disappearance cast a layer of ominous feelings over Li Mo's heart.

When he arrived at the two-story building in Naropa, he saw a large number of people surrounding the house, as well as inspectors, doctors, and some uniformed people coming and going in Nalopa's house.

The previous foreboding finally became a reality.

"Someone committed suicide, as if it was the owner of the house. Hehe, first stabbed him blind with a knife, and then stabbed him through his neck, he is a ruthless character. ”

There were many onlookers nearby, talking about bloody topics with excited and satisfied smiles on their faces.

Li Mo easily inquired about the news.

This is not good news.

His mind was a mess, staring at the open white door, thoughts and memories flashing back to him.

Naroba would never have committed suicide, and she would not have had the courage to commit suicide in such a cruel way.

His death had been predicted by himself yesterday. He came to seek Li Mo's help, which meant that he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die.

Well, even if he wasn't killed, at least he committed suicide against his will.

Naroba also mentions Cole Sr.

Li Mo's heart trembled, could it be that Old Cole's death had another hidden meaning?

Then the next person, will it be his turn, as Naroba said?

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

Li Mo looked up and saw two medical personnel walking out of the stretcher, the person on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, but I still recognized it as Naroba by the arm hanging out.

Because the bright silver watch he wore on his arm, the Cuevas mechanical watch, a symbol of status and status, was Naroba's favorite.

Ever since he got the watch out of nowhere, he was eager to tell everyone about the cost and luxury of Cuevas watches.

Li Mo stood still, like an ordinary onlooker, his eyes scanning everyone who entered and exited Naroba's house, trying to sort out a clear line.

If Naroba's words are true, then this is a series of murders. Although a large number of people die every day in Black Mist City.

But Li Mo never wanted to die.

It's like everyone he met was shouting that life was hard, life was better than death, and he hadn't seen any bastard really die.

Whining is a way to ease the stress of life, nothing more.

But now he really felt the shadow of death hanging over him.

In these days, death will come!

Naroba's death is a lesson in point.

To stop death, it is necessary to find the culprit behind it.

Who is behind this?

Why was he chosen?

Standing in the crowd of onlookers, receiving death threats, Li Mo's spirit was extremely concentrated, and his eyes were calm to the extreme.

Expressions of joy, indifference, excitement, and sadness flashed before his eyes, and it seemed that there was a cruel and smug smile hidden under each expression.

Suddenly, a pair of dark eyes that didn't feel anything came to mind.

Yes, that's the point.

When-

The bells of the city suddenly rang.

Li Mo was shocked and came to his senses.

It's actually one o'clock at noon, it's time to go back to catch up on sleep, otherwise you will be scolded when you go to work at night. As for the death threats, we'll find out when we wake up.

Before leaving, he turned his head to look at Naroba's house, where Naroba's wife was crying on the nanny's shoulder, but there was no child in sight.

Li Mo sighed and said in his heart: I wonder if anyone will cry for me after I die?

Angel probably would.

Back at the hotel, he bought a packet of compressed dry food from Aunt Cui Di, ate a few bites, paid to drink into the faucet, and lay straight on the bed to supplement sleep.

The night's hard work and the impact of Naroba's unexpected death made Li Mo's spirit overdrawn to the extreme, and he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Even Aunt Cui Di's "screams of fighting" from far and near didn't wake him up.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, when he woke up, Li Mo sat on the bed and pondered for a moment before washing his face with complicated feelings. In the Black Mist City, there is a shortage of everything except for the lack of businessmen, and water is no exception, a basin of face washing water can be used by him for three or four days.

Of course, that's not the point.

The focus is in the mirror.

Li Mo looked directly at the broken lenses on the washstand.

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint, and a cold and gloomy face appeared inside. The contour of his face is no different from his, but the pair of dark pupils that occupy the entire eye socket make the whole person's temperament change.

Li Mo blinked, thinking that it would disappear after a shake like yesterday.

But until he washed his face, it was still there.

Interesting.

Li Mo smiled and began to carefully examine the inverted doji in his pupils. He's not a good guy and won't wait for death to come.

If anyone wants his life, let it be seen whose life is hard.

First, he had to figure out what the thing was in his eyes without permission.

Li Mo looked at the mirror for half an hour, and after making sure that he had memorized all the black inverted doji patterns, he left his residence and went to work in the factory.

Along the way, he carefully watched his surroundings, but found no signs of being followed.

After a busy night at the factory, the sky was still overcast in the morning.

He walked out of the Casas car production workshop with a mood like a low lead cloud in the sky. The dark pupils were back to normal before he went to work, so it didn't make any difference.

At St. Mary's Church, Angel was talking to a few Protestants about the doctrine of the Church of Light and conveying the glory of the God of Light.

Li Mo didn't rush over, but stood quietly and listened.

Angel's voice is melodious, like a spring in a deep valley, tinkling like a heavenly sound. In the past, when he asked her to teach me doctrinal scriptures, the left ear went in and the right ear went out. I just want to hear more about her.

Angel noticed Li Mo's arrival, winked playfully, and continued her story after greeting each other in a unique way.

"Love is long-suffering and kind, love is not envy, love is not boasting, it is not arrogant, it is not shy, it does not seek its own good, it is not quick to anger, it does not count the evils of men, it does not delight in unrighteousness, but it delights in the truth, it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, and it never endures. "

"Do not be anxious about anything, but present your requests to the God of Light with thanksgiving in all things, with supplication and prayer, so that the peace of God beyond all imagination will hold on to the thoughts of your hearts. ”

"I am not afraid of the God of light, who will protect me: what can man do to me?"

......

When Angel speaks of the teachings, there is a strange magic that allows the listeners to enter a peaceful state of mind and quietly feel the teachings in the teachings.

But except for Li Mo, he has always listened to her voice, what she said specifically.

Who cares!

But today's teachings drilled into Li Mo's ears like a magic spell, making him even more determined to make his decision.

Li Mo waited for Angel to finish the teachings, and as usual, worked and chatted with her, and when it was almost noon, he said goodbye to Angel and walked straight to the study of his identity.

He stood outside the door, tidied up a little, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Father Merkes is a very special wise man.

Li Mo has always wanted to please the wise elder, but he has never dared to approach.

He wanted to please Mercais because he had a trace of extravagant hope for Angel in his heart that he never admitted, and the priest was Angel's elder and teacher, and Li Mo was in awe of him like a prospective son-in-law fearing his father-in-law.

As the only priest of the church, Merkis laughs and grieves with the faithful. But no matter laughing or sad, his eyes are always as calm as water, as if they can see through all hypocrisy and lies.

He spent most of his time in his study in the attic on the second floor, flipping through the classics.

"Please come in. ”

A moment later, a quiet and peaceful voice came from the study.

"Hello, Lee. The priest closed the black book on the table, pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Li Mo calmly and said, "You have been in a lot of trouble recently. ”

Not a question, not a rhetorical question, but a declarative sentence.

Li Mo's face changed, and he quickly returned to normal and said, "How do you know?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of the priest's mouth, he took off his reading glasses, looked at Li Mo seriously, and said, "You didn't come to me to listen to me explain the doctrine, because the doctrine we respect and practice is far less beautiful than Angel's voice to you." You didn't talk to me about Angel, you don't have the confidence and courage to talk to me, you didn't talk to me, the experience has turned you into an insecure person, except for Angel, you won't confide in you. You came to me for only one reason, you ran into a problem that no one else could solve, and you wanted to try your luck with me. ”

That's why Li Mo was reluctant to come into contact with the priest.

He knows everything, and communicating with him is completely crushed.

But this time there was an exception.

Li Mo was not in the slightest dissatisfied with the wisdom and thoroughness of the priest, but was very happy.

Even if the priest can't fix the strange things that happened to him, he can muddy the waters.

"Yes, Father Merkes, I am in a big trouble and have come out of here to ask you for help. Li Mo said immediately.

In front of smart people, it's best not to lie unless you can make up an unassailable lie. And the only kind of unassailable lie is to tell the truth.

Father Merkes motioned for Limer to sit down.

After thinking for a few minutes, Li Mo told him about the strange events he had encountered in the past few days in a steady and slow voice.

The priest's behavior was very strange, and he still had a calm expression at first, but when Li Mo said the inverted doji in his eyes, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, although he was very good at concealing it, he still did not escape Li Mo's gaze.

Then the priest listened calmly to Li Mo's narration, and when Li Mo finished speaking, he did not rush to ask the details, but turned around and took down a thick black scroll from the top of the bookcase. Then, from memory, I turned one of the pages, pushed the book in my direction, and said, "Is this what you see in the inverted five stars?"

On an old and yellowed page, a pattern was drawn in pitch-black colors, exactly the same as the inverted five-star light in Li Mo's pupils.

Li Mo's body was shocked, and he nodded with a cold expression: "Yes, it's this pattern, what the hell is this?"

The priest's expression was extremely solemn, he did not answer, and began to ask Li Mo some details, and even asked repeatedly in some places.

Li Mo told them one by one, observing Father Merkes strangely, and always felt that the other party's calm face suppressed the monstrous anger.

What's going on?
