While confronting the police, Kongyuan suddenly noticed a flash of light on an abandoned building in the south three or four hundred meters away, and she immediately understood that it was the reflected light from the telescope; Realizing that there might already be a sniper in place, she immediately ducked her head behind Professor Li's head, pressed the blade of her dagger against Professor Li's neck, and shouted at the policeman, "Within ten minutes, if you don't let him go, I will kill him!" ”

Just as the police turned to leave, Professor Li woke up.

Professor Li was apparently awakened by the shouting in his ear, and writhed in confusion, as if sensing that he was being clamped down on vigorously, and tried harder to break free. Seeing this, Kongyuan clamped his arm harder and harder.

The policeman who was about to leave glanced back, and probably saw that Professor Li, who was controlled by the void, was writhing, so he stopped leaving and took a step back: "You are not allowed to hurt the hostages!" ”

Seeing the police turn around, Kong Yuan changed his knife to the tip of his knife and pressed it against Professor Li's neck and shouted, "Don't come here!" ”

Professor Li was startled by the shouting, and his body twisted again in an attempt to break free, and his mouth made a muffled "uh-huh, uh-huh, woo" sound.

Just as Professor Li struggled desperately, his neck twisted and touched the sharp blade of the dagger, and the artery in his neck was cut open, and a red pillar spurted out.

The empty edge hurriedly blocked it with his hands, but how could he block the blood column that spurted out of the spurt!

When the policeman saw this, he stepped forward: "I'll help you." ”

Kongyuan pointed a knife at the police and shouted, "Take one more step and try!" Then he pointed the tip of the knife at Professor Li, who was still struggling.

The policeman stood still, as if using a walkie-talkie on his shoulder to report to the command.

At this time, the empty edge had dragged Professor Li back into the door and closed the door.

The police surrounded them, and several of them came to the police officer's location where they were talking to Sora.

Then the door opened suddenly, and she saw the blood dripping from the hand of the empty edge, and she put the dagger on her neck, and looked directly at the people who were ready to attack with a frosty gaze; Just when everyone was surprised, the door was closed again.

When the attacking commandos went up the dirt slope and came to the door of the house, they smelled a strong smell of gasoline coming from the crack in the door, followed by a "boom" and a fireball burst out, and the people who had just rushed to the door couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Xiao Zhang, who rushed up the dirt slope with the commandos, heard Kong Yuan shouting something in Hokkien inside at this time, one high and one low, not like chanting Buddhist scriptures.

A train whizzed past the railroad behind the house and let out a terrifying whistle.

Several assault officers kicked open the door and rushed in, and found a person lying on the ground during the fireworks, and dragged the person out with great difficulty, only to find that it was Professor Li; Professor Li's eyes were not closed, but the blood flow was clotted and he could no longer feel his pulse.

The fire in the kitchen behind the house was so big that no one could get in, and it was burned down.

The commandos picked up a mobile phone with a recording on the ground next to the door, and a hoarse voice in it was chanting loudly, but he couldn't understand what he was reading, looking at each other head-on, Xiao Zhang stepped forward and took the phone, and when he heard it, he could tell that it was Hokkien dialect, which was recorded by the void at some point; At this time, the phone is still reading over and over again at maximum volume: "...... Love is ...... What...... Double Flyer ...... To whom does the shadow go......"

120 ambulances arrived, and Professor Li was exhausted from excessive blood loss.

When the items at the scene were finally counted, it was found that the mobile phone left at the scene was empty, which was easily recognizable from the communication records held by the police; The mobile phones of Professor Li and Zong Zhenlei, who determined the location for the police, were not at the scene.

The police also found two strips of Japanese cloth from the car at the bottom of the slope.

The fire in the hut was eventually extinguished, and the police cleared the rubble inside the hut and the collapsed kitchen, but did not find the body of the empty edge.

Due to the fire extinguishing, the footprints around the hut are messy, and it is impossible to trace and collect evidence.

Once again, the Void Edge was nowhere to be found.

Zong Zhenlei and Li Ruhui walked around the Yongzuo Temple for a while, looked at the scenery in the temple and talked about the subject and Professor Li, considering that the subject research could not be carried out normally, neither of them was in the mood to continue to walk in the temple; Seeing that it was already noon, Li Ruhui said that she felt so sleepy, and there was already a pot of paste in her head, and she wanted to go back and sleep well, so the two left the temple.

Zong Zhenlei drove Li Ruhui back, and the two were silent all the way; Entering the school gate, Li Ruhui broke the silence and said: "As soon as I entered the school gate, I thought of Professor Li, I thought I had met a very good fellow, knowledgeable, and young, if I was good, I would have a very promising future...... The impression he gave me was so different from the reality! ”

"Is it because you don't want to believe in reality?" Zong Zhenlei asked.

Li Ruhui slowly shook her head and said, "I can't believe it!" When I think of him, my heart is like being picked up, and I really feel a lot of emotion! What has happened in the past month or so is like a dream, and what he has done is like a drama of truth and falsehood! Do you say that he is driven by desire to do so? ”

Zong Zhenlei drove the car into the parking lot, stopped the car, and said: "The 'desire' you said reminds me of a poem written by Zen Master Miaofeng in Wutai Mountain, "Hidden Peak Tower", I will read it to you: 'The suffering in the world is impermanent, who is not busy. Only my teacher dreams big, waiting for idle games of life and death. Looking back at the history we have learned about the Buddha relics, as well as the various experiences during this time, in fact, they all involve the 'suffering' brought about by desire, and this 'suffering' is endless; Therefore, looking back at Professor Li, his behavior must have been driven by his desires, but I don't know if Professor Li can realize that the evolution of his desires will be a game of life and death! ”

As she was talking, Li Ruhui's mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be Mr. Hong calling.

Mr. Hung said that he had been informed by the police that Professor Li had died and was missing. The police found two Japanese cloth strips with the same handwriting in the car at the scene, and since it was known that one of them was lost by Mr. Hong, they asked him to submit an application for return; He then applied to the police, who screened it and returned another strip of cloth as a relic of his late father. Mr. Hung also said that he was going to rest for a while before returning to the city, and that he had arrived at the airport from his hotel and would not meet the two young men to say goodbye. He also hoped that the two would not interfere with the study and stressed that the contract for the project was still valid.

Li Ruhui asked Mr. Hong to recuperate with peace of mind, saying that she and Zong Zhenlei would continue to work hard to ensure that the project was completed in accordance with the time required by the contract; She also told Mr. Hong that he had initially found the basis for "this is that".

After receiving the line, Li Ruhui told Zong Zhenlei about Mr. Hong's phone number.

Zong Zhenlei sighed for a long time and said, "Professor Li's pattern is small; How can a scholar achieve great academic achievements if he does not use his intelligence for research, but only seeks to monopolize the results, and asks others to be loyal to him for his own interests, and even instructs his accomplices to use evil tricks without any bottom line! ”

Li Ruhui thought for a while and said, "In addition to Professor Li's desire to monopolize the research results, maybe he also has the idea of doing things for his family......

Zong Zhenlei shook his head: "I listened to what you told last time, after Professor Li said that his family was related to Li Caifeng, I went to check the information of the Empress Dowager Li's family, but I didn't find the connection between his two families, but I saw the legend of the cave of the former residence of the Empress Dowager Li in Linfen Yicheng on the Internet." Now that I think about it, Professor Li's statement that his family is the keeper of Yongzuo Temple is because of the same family as Li Caifeng, if there is no genealogical proof, it cannot be ruled out that Professor Li wants to use the results of this research project to raise his own worth in the name of Empress Dowager Li's association with his family. ”

Zong Zhenlei remembered his first acquaintance with Professor Li: "From the 'loyalty' that Professor Li asked me to join the team when he formed the research team, to his eagerness to control the data we collected, and then to his various actions of wanting to possess the research results alone, it shows that from the very beginning, he only controlled all this for his own selfish desires, rather than doing research around research, which is not what a scholar should do; After a pause, he said: "As for the empty edge, it is sad and hateful, when I was in the hospital, I heard from the Fujian public security officers that she and the professor were lovers, so from this point of view, her affection is too distorted; Unscrupulous means to achieve the goal for the sake of love will inevitably have no good results! Now that this man is missing, I don't know who he will harm again. ”

Li Ruhui sighed again and said: "The empty edge is hateful, but it is pitiful to be so infatuated. I somehow came up with the poem Yuan Hao wrote when he was sixteen years old: 'What is love in the world?' Teach life and death'. ”

Zong Zhenlei nodded and said, "Sixteen years old!" What an amorous year! I heard the policeman Xiao Zhang say that Professor Li and Kongyuan's relationship happened when Kongyuan was 16 years old; This sixteen-year-old reminds me of the life and death relationship between Du Liniang after visiting the Peony Garden at the age of sixteen in "The Peony Pavilion", and the Empress Dowager Li took love when she was sixteen years old and had her later long-cherished wish......"

Li Ruhui looked at Zong Zhenlei affectionately: "And the two of us, do you remember stealing the forbidden fruit that year, I was also sixteen years old at that time!" ”

The car entered the parking lot, parked the car and turned off the fire, Zong Zhenlei turned around and took her hand and kissed her gently: "Although these flowers of love bloom at the age of sixteen, they bear different fruits." After speaking, he wanted to say something, but looking at Li Ruhui's bright eyes beside him, he didn't seem to want to say anything.

Li Ruhui didn't retract her hand, just looked at him quietly.

After a while, she saw that Zong Zhenlei only looked at her and didn't speak, and whispered: "Say, keep talking, I really want to listen to your voice more, it's not enough to stay together for a long time." ”

Zong Zhenlei held her hand, put his head close to her forehead, and lowered his voice: "Why?" At this time, he smelled her sweet exhalation, and felt the heat on the faces of the two of them that night.

"With your voice circling in my ears, I am very relieved, I can not think of anything, and I am willing to do anything for you!"

"And who will be the Popeye who takes on the challenges of the world?"

"You let me be."

"I'm not going to let you be?"

"I'll come back to you when I'm done to annoy you!"
