Volume 1 Closed Loop World Chapter 4 Cat and Mouse Game
"I choose to kill!" The little fat man's words echoed in the empty living room of the hotel.
"Good. The choice of the murder scroll is my friend of the second elder Qi Huang, take back your money. One of the old men smiled, and a wrinkle stood up on his forehead, and he gestured to the deaf and dumb old man beside him, "Friends don't need silver. ”
Immediately afterwards, the little fat man found that three horizontal lines also appeared on the forehead of the deaf and dumb old man on the side, which was really an interesting pair of old men.
The little fat man understood that this must be the assistance of the closed-loop space, so he unceremoniously put away the silver tael, and opened the murderous scroll, on which was the portrait of Su Lin.
Another scroll engraved with the word "assist", and soon after, the deaf and dumb old man with three horizontal stripes on his forehead also unfolded it in front of the little fat man, and it was the little fat man himself in front of him.
I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why the two old men didn't get angry after the little fat man was arrogant and unreasonable.
They all need to assist each other in their tasks.
"These soldiers are all at your disposal, but my time is running out, and now that the progress of the bracelet is half complete, I need to kill the person who drew the scroll as soon as possible, can you help me do it?" He had more time than Surin's.
The little fat man's expression at this moment was particularly serious, and it was obvious that he was also the one selected by the closed-loop space.
"That little mouse just ran away from us and couldn't get far away, don't worry." The single-striped old man grabbed a teacup on the table in the air, Peng's crushed it, the tea spilled all over the ground, and the deaf and dumb old man clapped his hands on the side.
Since the violence of the Old Man was not directed at the interlopers themselves, the rules in the hotel room were not triggered.
Immediately, the deaf and dumb old man gestured to the little fat man and said: "The map you want is in the hands of the little mouse, you can follow us closely, after we catch it, you can follow the prompts to the designated place." ”
Seeing that the little fat man on the side didn't know why, the old man with a single pattern hurriedly translated for him, and added: "As for these soldiers of yours, they are all incompetent wastes, you can take care of them yourself, and we don't need to run with flying ones." ”
After finishing speaking, the two old men walked out of the hotel one after the other, and the single-striped old man took out something like a rag, and grew up in the wind with a slight shake, and the two jumped up, flew in the air, and soon intercepted in front of the Surin road.
At the same time, the little fat man also rode his horse closely behind the two old men according to the direction indicated by the two old men, but in a blink of an eye, he lost the trace of the two old men, and could only continue to hurry with a vague feeling.
With less than an hour left before the bracelet was closed, Surin followed the direction of the map to the vicinity of a winery, and according to the map, he passed the winery in front of him, followed by the direction of the woods outside the city.
There is a bronze bell struck near the winery, and every once in a while, someone goes to ring it to remind travelers not to miss the time to go home because of drinking.
The flag of the wine shop is also engraved with the words "three bowls do not enter the forest", which looks quite a sense of sight of Wu Song fighting a tiger.
Surin had no intention of stopping at the winery, and continued to speed up his pace and rush forward.
But when passing by the winery, for some reason, the horse seemed to be suddenly frightened, and could no longer drive away, so Su Lin had to tie the horse to the winery, and use the silver rewarded by Mrs. Xue to the shopkeeper to watch the horse, and then walked forward alone.
After walking for a long time, when Su Lin saw the three-bowl winery again, he had a strong sense of doubt in his heart. He was obviously moving in the direction of the map, but he passed here several times, could it be that he was lost?
The nearby bell rang seven times in succession, knowing that his time was running out, Su Lin casually picked up a few special stones on the ground and placed them next to the nearby buildings to leave markers, while walking quickly in the direction of the map.
At a distance of about five hundred meters from the winery, Surin met an old sweeper dressed in khaki clothes, who paused and checked his way to the woods outside the city.
The old man put down his broom and pointed his finger at Su Lin and gestured a few times, indicating that he was deaf and mute and did not know what Su Lin was talking about.
Su Lin directly folded a wooden strip from the old man's broom, and used the dust on the ground as a drawing board to outline the appearance of the teaching forest. The old man smiled this time, nodded vigorously, and pointed his right hand in the direction of the side at random.
"How can it be the other way around?" Su Lin was stunned for a while, thinking that it might be because Old Lady Xue deliberately did something on the map, so he simply ran all the way in the direction pointed out by the old man.
The road was still the same as before, but Surin suddenly felt that the road under his feet was very rough and muddy. He was about to reach out and touch the ground, but suddenly a crossroads appeared in front of him.
It was still the old man in yellow clothes who swept the floor before, and at this moment, he actually took the initiative to stretch out his hand towards Su Lin: "Hello child, I heard my twin brother say that you are looking for the woods outside the city, and his memory is always wrong, you cross this road, turn left and you will arrive." ”
"It turned out to be a twin brother, but went to the left?" After Su Lin thanked him briefly, he suppressed the surprise that had just ignited in his heart, and had to turn back the way he came, according to the old man's instructions.
Ten minutes later, he saw the deaf-mute old man again, he walked over again to ask, but the deaf-mute old man gestured that he didn't have a twin brother at all, and he had been sweeping this street alone for more than ten years.
Considering the contradictions in the two old people's mouths, Surin was a little suspicious that it was the same old man who was fooling himself by copying the path.
But then he noticed a slight detail on the faces of the two same old men, that is, when the old man in front of him spoke, a vertical line appeared on his forehead, while the deaf and dumb person before had three horizontal lines.
For some reason, Su Lin always felt that the two old men seemed to have met somewhere, but because of the urgency of time, he didn't think much about it and continued to hurry.
At this moment, the bell next to him suddenly rang again, and Su Lin counted the times in his heart.
Seven down? His eyes widened suddenly, wondering if he was hallucinating. forcibly suppressed the sense of absurdity in his heart and continued to move forward.
But the strange thing is that in addition to encountering the two old men sweeping the floor many times throughout the afternoon, there was no one on the entire trail. The marks of the clods of earth that he had set aside were also discovered, and at the same time, the road under his feet became more and more bumpy.
"What's going on? Who the hell is lying! "He's obviously gone in the opposite direction, how can he still appear here again and again.
Just after Su Lin walked not far away, the old man with a single forehead print behind him suddenly had a strange smile on his face, and in an instant, his whole body appeared above the sky, converging with the previous deaf and dumb old man.
I saw that the two old men each controlled a vertical wall with their hands, and the canvas on the wall moved synchronously with Su Lin's movement, and every time Su Lin turned in one direction, the number of city walls controlled by the old man would increase.
A struggling smile appeared on the deaf and dumb old man's face, as if he was enjoying the frightened look on Su Lin's face, and asked with a gesture of his finger, "Why don't you just kill him!" ”
The corners of the latter's mouth were amused, "It's just a mouse, let's kill it when you've had enough." ”
