Chapter 29: Mystery
Officer Li didn't look at Qiao Jiajin, but asked Qi Xia, "I do have something about Han Yimo...... Did you just have something to say? What does Han Yimo's death represent? And what does that sword mean? ”
Qi Xia narrowed his eyes and looked at Officer Li carefully: "Officer, what you are good at is criminal investigation, and what I am good at is fraud, isn't it strange that you are asking me for advice now?" ”
Officer Li lowered his head helplessly and said, "We have already come to this kind of ghost place, how can "criminal investigation" still come in handy?" ”
Qi Xia was silent for a while after hearing this, and decided to tell him the clues he thought of: "Officer, I can only say...... It is possible that Han Yimo knew that sword. ”
"Acquaintance?" Officer Li frowned, then nodded thoughtfully, "You mean he's seen that sword before?" ”
"That's not something you have to think about." Qi Xia said, "You still care about your situation." ”
"What do you mean?"
Qi Xia sighed and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Officer Li.
"Don't go, what kind of "situation" am I?"
Lin Yi covered his mouth and nose, leaned into Officer Li's ear, and then whispered: "Mr. Officer, Qi Xia is unwilling to say, I can say it for him, there are two places you have to be careful of." ”
"Two?"
"That's right, first, the only one who can easily lift that giant sword is the crazy female clerk present, her strength is very strong, in other words, if Han Yimo was really killed, then the female clerk is the biggest suspect. Get out of this place as soon as you can. ”
Officer Li nodded with a heavy face, and asked again, "What about the second?" ”
"Second, there are your "teammates" who don't seem trustworthy."
Officer Li's lips moved slightly, as if he had thought of something.
Now on his side, there is a kindergarten teacher Xiao Ran who is swayed by emotions and does not seem to be smart, there is a lawyer Zhang Chenze who is indifferent to everything and only looks at the pros and cons, and there is a doctor Zhao who has confronted him and is somewhat self-centered.
If the combination of the four of them encounters a life-threatening test, will they be able to trust each other?
Officer Li struggled for a long time before he finally spoke: "Qi Xia, no matter what, I will use the convenience store as my base camp and explore a few nearby areas, if you have any information...... You can also come to me for an exchange. ”
Qi Xia didn't agree or refuse, glanced at him lightly, turned around and left.
The rest of the people, not knowing what to say, followed.
Officer Li looked at the backs of the four people for a while, and returned to the convenience store with Dr. Zhao and Xiao Ran.
He didn't know that the four people outside were more trustworthy at a critical moment, but they were going to collect the Dao, in other words, they were looking for death.
It's not safe to follow them.
Now if you want to survive smoothly, you can only find a base first, and then think about it in the long run.
……
Qi Xia led a few people forward, and it didn't take long for him to come to the square where he came yesterday.
He wanted to come here to confirm something.
That's the huge bell that you hear in the early morning.
It's like yesterday, with a huge electronic display in the center, and a bronze bell hanging above it.
When Han Yimo was assassinated, the giant bell rang.
Lin Yi blinked and said, "I seem to have heard the bells ring several times......"
"How many times?" Qiao Jiajin was stunned and asked, "When?" ”
Lin Yi's pupils twitched slightly, and he recalled, "Do you remember...... Was it the man whose head was shattered by the "human sheep" when we first woke up in the room? When he died, it seemed that a bell also rang. ”
Tian Tian seemed to understand something: "Could it be ...... Every time someone dies, the bell rings? ”
Several people nodded their heads, feeling that this guess should be in the right direction, and the bronze bell in front of them seemed to be like a death knell, informing everyone of the number of deaths.
"That's not right." Qi Xia shook his head, "The corridor we have experienced, to say the least, there are thousands of rooms, while we are going through the "game", there are dead people in each room, if this thing is a death knell, we can't only hear the bell twice. ”
"This ......" Tian Tian felt that what Qi Xia said also made sense, but in this case, what were the conditions for the giant bell to ring?
"Huh?" Lin Yi looked up at the display and found that it was empty, "I remember that there was a line of words on it yesterday. ”
When everyone looked up, the words on it were indeed gone.
"It seems to be...... Reverberate or something......" Qiao Jiajin touched his chin and said, "I echoed the disaster?" ”
"I heard the echo of 'Disaster'." Qi Xia said.
"Ah yes...... Qiao Jiajin nodded, "What does that mean?" ”
Qi Xia shook his head.
It's not something that can be known by "guessing", they know too little about the city.
What is Disaster Summoning? What is the reverberation? Who is "I"?
"Forget it, let's go somewhere else."
Qi Xia turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he was stunned.
In front of him was a withered, smiling face.
This face appeared behind him at some point, and it was staring directly at him at the moment.
Qi Xia's pupils moved, and he hurriedly took two steps back.
The other three were also startled, and in front of them was a withered old man, standing on tiptoe and bending his body like a dead tree.
"I thought of it...... the old man smiled slightly, revealing his only remaining tooth, "you asked me a question, I thought of it!" ”
Qi Xia was stared at by the old man, and only felt a chill behind him: "Are you talking to me?" ”
The old man pursed his chapped lips: "Young man, I know the answer!" It's "gambling on life"! Just gamble your life and you're good to go! ”
He stretched out his hand with dirty nails and was about to grab Qi Xia.
"We're so close to getting out! As long as you're willing to gamble your life......"
Qi Xia frowned and took a few steps back, although he couldn't understand what the old man was saying, it was too weird for him to keep saying that he wanted his life.
"Hey! Who are you, old man? Qiao Jiajin asked a little suspiciously, "Have you seen Qi Xia before?" ”
The old man's expression moved, and he turned his head to look at Qiao Jiajin.
He opened his mouth with a complicated expression, and then asked, "You don't know me?" ”
"Why should I know you?"
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the old man's cloudy eyes kept flashing, and it took a long time before he finally thought of something: "I see...... You guys...... I've already seen the Celestial Dragon......"
"Draco?" The four men looked at each other.
"There's no hope...... the old man shook his head and turned his back slowly, "we can't fight him...... We're lost here forever...... No wonder the "zodiac" is back again......"
He walked away while muttering, and his back looked very lonely.
