Chapter 214: Surfacing
At this critical moment.
A huge stick came out of the air and directly stopped the stone lion's mouth.
Suddenly, the same thing was around me, and it disappeared without a trace.
I quickly got up and looked up to see that there was no trace of the whole old house.
In front of me was still the same street as before, still the same bright lights.
Not far away stood a man dressed in scruffy clothes.
The man smiled at me, "It stands to reason that with your abilities, you shouldn't have fallen into her illusion." ”
"Who are you?" My eyes widened as I looked at the man not far away.
The man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you can wade through this troubled water, so you should think of a way to get out." ”
After saying this, the man turned away and did not give me any chance to ask.
I watched the man's departing back, and for a moment fell into a sense of fear.
As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky.
The appearance of this man is a good proof of such a sentence.
I always thought I was powerful, but in front of this man, I seemed so small.
I don't know what kind of means he used to help me get out of my illusion, but I could tell that this man's methods were far superior to mine.
That's when I helped Daniel Zhang up.
When I returned to the Sun family's old house, it was already late at night.
At this moment, the old house of the Sun family is extremely quiet, making people feel like they have entered a haunted house.
Sister Hua saw that the two of us came back, and there was no problem, but she found some medicine to help Daniel Zhang deal with his injuries.
Now we don't need to say anything at all, we already know that danger is approaching us step by step.
At times like these, we have to hold together.
Because although the other party's purpose is to be me, it is likely to attack the people around me.
Xiao Qi is a very obvious example, now I don't know how to rescue at all, and Xiao Qi doesn't know where Xiao Qi is.
But one thing I am very sure of is that the hostess of the tavern must have known about this, and the hostess was very kind to me.
If you want to find Xiao Qi, then this boss lady is a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, I stood up, said hello to Sister Hua, and left.
Walking down the empty street, I always feel like there are a pair of eyes around me watching my actions.
But I'm not worried at this moment, because I'm sure these people won't do anything to me right now.
Maybe all of this came from that mysterious man, but such an opportunity is naturally a good one.
I didn't stop long and went straight to the tavern, which was now devoid of many customers.
Everything inside seemed very normal, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with it.
The proprietress was still busy at the bar.
I found a place to sit down, and the proprietress looked at me with a smile, "How about a glass of spirits, it's late at night, drink it and go back to sleep." ”
I gladly accepted the hostess's suggestion, nodded, and drank down the glass of wine she had handed me.
After that, I didn't ask for any alcohol, but kept watching the proprietress move, trying to find some clues from her.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the white of the fish belly was already exposed every day.
At this moment, there were no more guests in the tavern, except for me, of course.
However, the proprietress had no intention of driving me away, and closed the door of the tavern directly.
"You know I'm not leaving?" I looked at the proprietress with some confusion.
The proprietress smiled, "I knew you were coming." ”
I laughed too, and the conversation was like a couple I hadn't seen in years.
But we all know that this kind of conversation is just waiting for the boss lady to give me an answer, maybe the boss lady has already thought about how to give this answer.
The lights in the tavern are not very bright.
It seems more or less ambiguous.
I laughed, and so did the hostess.
"You should know what I want." I looked at the proprietress very calmly and said.
"Of course, but when you want to know all this, you have to do something for me." The proprietress was so resolute that I found it incredible.
Maybe it's all just waiting for me to come now.
"Ten miles outside the city, there is an ancient tomb, where there are all the things I need, if you want to know the reason for this, you go to the ancient tomb and help me get those things, and then I will tell you everything word for word." After the proprietress said this, she walked directly to the second floor.
I stood there for a moment, not knowing whether what the proprietress said was true or not.
After all, the last time Chen Rong's incident put me in a difficult situation.
"Of course you can choose not to believe me, and I don't have to tell you what I've said." The proprietress spoke in a very gentle tone, without the slightest hint of threat.
I clenched my fists tightly, "Okay, I promise you, but you must tell me the whole thing after the incident." ”
The proprietress laughed, and her beautiful face was like a blooming flower.
"There is a night pearl in the mouth of the corpse in the ancient tomb, my purpose is to get the pearl, as long as you get that night pearl back, I will tell you all the ins and outs of the whole thing." After the proprietress said this, she also threw a map.
The markings on the map are very obvious and easy to find.
"You only have two days, because two days later there is a big thing waiting for you." After the proprietress said this, she neither let me leave, nor did she let me stay alone, and I thought about many things in this empty tavern.
The flowers in the morning are always filled with a rhythm that makes people can't stop.
Young people with briefcases, office workers still on the road to breakfast. and people waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
Everyone was busy, and my pace seemed so slow.
Before I knew it, I had come to the Sun family's old house and told Sister Hua about this matter as it was.
Sister Hua's meaning is obvious, that is, you can't do things like digging people's ancestral graves.
But now I can't care about it so much, after all, I've reached the point where I haven't looked back.
"Since you want to do it, I won't stop you. But you have to take me with you. ”
