Chapter 181: Over the Mountain
Chapter 181
The ambulance arrived quickly, along with the police. Roach briefly confused the cognitive abilities of several police officers he had come into contact with, and hurried away.
He and Du Zhengyi met at the gate of the gate in the north of the village, walked through the village together, and walked north into the mountains. Du Zhengyi dealt with the most dangerous ones, no one died, most of them had a vendetta in peacetime, and something happened in this situation. One of the family members was already mentally ill, and this time it was the most affected, injuring several family members, but fortunately, his cognitive level at the time of the incident was not enough for him to find a suitable tool to kill, and he basically attacked the family with his bare hands. Two other people ran out of the house because they were frightened and ended up falling in the gutter, one of them bruising his head.
"I wonder how the police are going to record this kind of collective madness tonight?" Luo Qi was looking at the village below from the slope of the mountain, and the last time he looked here, he was trampled on by Du Zhengyi's psychic beast and broke his ribs.
"Gather a crowd to fight." Du Zhengyi said, "The police should have such experience, and when it comes to dealing with things that happen in the countryside, the police are probably used to encountering some things that cannot be explained." ”
Roach's lips twitched, he wanted to say "it's all my fault", but it got to this point, and instead of an apology could solve it. Even if Du Zhengyi didn't blame him, the hideous wound cut on the child's body still pierced his heart.
"I should have consulted with you." Roach whispered.
"Don't say anything." Du Zhengyi said dryly, turned around and walked towards the mountain, "If you tell me, I will hesitate, but in the end I will still be persuaded by you, it is a very reasonable idea to use the Mind Mage to investigate here." I just didn't expect your abilities to develop so quickly and reach such a stage. ”
Luo Qi followed behind him, "But I don't think you want anyone to find out the secrets that Guan Yushan guards. ”
"What do you think?" Du Zhengyi suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes were serious, this sentence was not a rhetorical question with difficulty.
"Because of the matter in Qianzhou. It all happened in the city-state of the ancient mage, so I think there must be some secret buried beneath the ground. Ancient mages are always sneaky, so I" Roach paused, he couldn't go any further, and it sounded like he was quibbling for himself. Things had come to such a point that everything that sounded like justification for himself made him embarrassed.
Du Zhengyi stopped, and they looked at each other in the dim woods.
Du Zhengyi opened his mouth and said, "As far as I know, the secret that Guan Yushan guards is not this. ”
"What's that?" Arch instinctively asked rhetorically, realizing that he was really dizzy. He shook his head frustratedly, "I didn't mean that, I didn't really want to ask, I just"
He couldn't go on, and the frustration almost swallowed him up.
"The secrets I know Guan Yushan guards will disappear with his death." Du Zhengyi said, this sentence attracted Luo Qi's attention.
Du Zhengyi chose the words and phrases vigilantly, he looked at Roach, guessing how much Roach might guess what he didn't say, Roach was smarter and sharper than most people he had ever met, and if there was something he didn't want Roach to know, then he had to be extra careful when talking to him. He instinctively sensed that Roach had mastered a lot of information, but sometimes he seemed to have made up his mind to be a stupid kid with big eyes.
Du Zhengyi said slowly and honestly, "If Guan Yushan is still in charge of guarding something in Shuozhou, that's something I don't know." ”
Roach looked at him for a moment, "I know you just want to take responsibility with me. ”
Du Zhengyi looked at him silently, and he added with a bitter face, "I'm not complaining, I understand your kindness, I owe you a lot of favors." ”
"There's no need to talk about that, now we can only go into the mountains to see." Du Zhengyi said, "There are puppets in the mountains, which is always a terrible hidden danger for human beings. Later, the mage who continued to investigate Guan Yushan's case here would also be in danger if he was just an ordinary execution mage. ”
His eyes looked at Roach, waiting to see what Roach meant. Roach nodded, "This is my debt, of course I have to pay it back." ”
"Let's go, then." Du Zhengyi said concisely, turned around and continued to walk towards the mountains and forests.
Luo Qi followed, the snow in the mountains had not completely melted, and the hard and brittle snow was mixed in the wild grass, and Luo Qi followed Du Zhengyi with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The road was not easy, but he didn't have the heart to complain.
Fortunately, Du Zhengyi's ability can always exceed Luo Qi's expectations, and he doesn't know how he followed Du Zhengyi to turn left and right and embarked on a narrow mountain road.
There are no particularly treacherous mountains in such a northern place, and once you set foot on the right path, it is no longer difficult to climb the mountain. Luo Qi had a feeling that the richness of Du Zhengyi's experience must have seriously exceeded his imagination.
Du Zhengyi released a small cold-light fireball, which stayed steadily at the height of their legs, illuminating the road in front of them. His physical strength was very good, and Rocky was afraid that he would drag him back, so he hardly dared to think about anything, and devoted all his energy to hurry.
However, the mountain facing the back door of the Guan family, although it doesn't seem to be very high, it is a long way to walk. With the agility of two mages, it still took three hours to climb to the top of the mountain.
Roach shuddered as he reached the top of the mountain, and before him, the darkness was like an abyss, and the mountains and valleys sank under this black nothingness.
The darkness was greater than he could have imagined, and Rocky missed the feeling of flying over the mountains in the world of his mind, when it seemed more alive.
He turned and looked back, and there was a brilliant cloud of light floating over the human city. Although it is commonly referred to as light pollution, the light of civilization is safer than the dark mountains and forests.
"Let's go." Du Zhengyi didn't look back and took the lead in stepping down the mountain.
"I'm not sure exactly where it is." Roach followed, descending the hill so fast that his knees were a little unable to hold up, and he trembled slightly.
"It doesn't matter," Mr. Du said, "I can feel it." ”
Roach's feet slipped and he almost fell on the slope. Du Zhengyi grabbed him with agility, and then he felt the coldness of his wrist.
"Are you cold?" Du Zhengyi asked him. He turned up the height of the flames and saw that Roach was wearing only the shirt he slept on.
"It's fine." Luo Qi shivered, "If you find it early, you can finish the work sooner, can you feel the high-energy crystal?" Is that thing still running? ”
