Chapter 408: Assassination, but a psychopath
Looking at everyone's expressions, Ning Qiushui was really a little speechless, he came to the staircase of the strange house, pointed to the puzzle on it and said:
"Don't you see that all the pieces of my puzzle are still there?"
Several people followed Ning Qiushui's gaze, and the look of shock on their faces did not subside, but became even stronger.
"What the hell ...... I rubbed"
Liu Chengfeng muttered.
"Little brother, let me tell you something, don't be scared...... Two days ago, the pieces of the puzzle that were related to you disappeared! ”
Ning Qiushui was stunned.
He turned back again, carefully examining the pieces of the puzzle above.
There's nothing wrong with it, the two pieces that belong to me are still there.
But they disappeared two days ago?
What's the situation?
Don't...... Is it because of the blood gate that I entered through an abnormal way?
After making trouble, everyone finally confirmed that Ning Qiushui was not dead, and then quickly cleaned up the ...... Spiritual field.
According to the bearded man's instructions, Ning Qiushui burned his last photo with his own hands.
"Damn, Brother Qiushui, you're really scared us to death!"
Tian Xun wiped his sweat.
He was the only one in the audience other than Ning Qiushui who had entered the eighth door.
Because of this, he knew how high the mortality rate of the eighth door was, and it was not surprising for anyone to die in it.
"Okay, it's late, let's go rest, I'll go back and talk to you slowly about the things in the blood gate...... Xiaoxiao, you come with me. ”
When everyone heard this, they no longer entangled, and dispersed, and Bai Xiaoxiao followed Ning Qiushui to his room.
As soon as she entered the room, Bai Xiaoxiao asked:
"Qiushui, what did you meet behind the door, and why did your puzzle pieces suddenly disappear?"
Ning Qiushui shook his head:
"I'm not sure about the specifics, probably because I didn't enter the Blood Gate through normal means."
He roughly told Bai Xiaoxiao what happened in the Blood Gate.
“…… Zhao Er is not dead, he has returned to Xiangchun Mental Hospital. ”
"It's a pity that I didn't bring out that bronze mirror, it seems that that thing is not a ghost weapon."
Bai Xiaoxiao was thoughtful.
"Hmm...... Anyway, it's good to come out alive. ”
"But that girl named Hong Yu, I seem to have heard it somewhere......"
Bai Xiaoxiao recalled seriously, suddenly raised her head and said:
"Qiushui remembered that Hong Yu is a person from Rashomon, as if Tian Xun had met her and her boyfriend in the seventh gate before."
"What happened later?"
"Her boyfriend died in that door...... To save her. ”
Hearing this, Ning Qiushui suddenly wondered why he asked Hong Yu about the love token before, and she had such an expression.
"Is this girl the department in charge of investigating and collecting information in Rashomon?"
Bai Xiaoxiao:
"Hmm."
"She belongs to the 'ear', her position is not big, it is not small, and she has power in her hands."
Ning Qiushui didn't understand.
"Did she join Rashomon on her own initiative?"
"I don't know about this, you have to ask her."
"Good...... I know, you go and rest too, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow. ”
Bai Xiaoxiao snorted, but as soon as she got up, Ning Qiushui stopped her.
"Why do you have blood on your back?"
Bai Xiaoxiao let out an "ah" and turned her head to look at her back.
There were indeed some blood stains there, soaking the short sleeves.
Ning Qiushui stepped forward and lifted the clothes on her back, and saw that on Bai Xiaoxiao's smooth back, there was a strip of blood scabs that had not completely coagulated.
This blood scab is not very long, but judging by the amount of bleeding, it should be very deep, it is a wound stabbed into by a sharp weapon, and this location is ...... It's already very close to the heart.
"You were assassinated?"
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, not deliberately hiding these things.
"Hmm."
"Fortunately, Brother Jun was also next to him at the time, he reacted quickly enough and didn't let the other party succeed, the person who assassinated me has been arrested, but ......"
Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoxiao's expression was somewhat subtle and suspicious, which made Ning Qiushui a little curious:
"But what?"
"However, the person who assassinated me was not a killer, but a psychopath who escaped from Xiangchun Mental Hospital."
"Psychotic?"
"Well, the police have confirmed their identity, and Brother Jun went to check on that guy afterwards, he is indeed a psychopath, named Jin Cheng, who has been in Xiangchun Psychiatric Hospital for seventeen years, and it seems that he escaped a few days ago while the guards were changing......"
Ning Qiushui pondered for a moment and said:
"This psychopath named Jin Cheng must have something greasy about him, I will go to see him tomorrow, maybe I can dig up something."
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled wryly.
"I thought it was weird, but I couldn't help it...... I've already found out, and I can't find out anything. ”
"After all, isn't it too incredible to use mental illness to kill people?"
"Hmm...... You know what I mean, at least outside the Bloodgate. ”
Ning Qiushui took out some common medical items from the room and gave her a brief treatment of the open wound.
This comes from the consciousness of a veterinarian.
He always keeps some medicine and gauze for wounds in the places he frequents.
Although he hardly needs it.
“…… You go to rest first, sleep on your stomach at night, the wound will be better in a night, I'll check it tomorrow, and you try not to go out these days. ”
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.
"Good...... I'll tell you about Rashomon later. ”
After speaking, she took off her clothes, and when she walked out of the door, she turned back and smiled at Ning Qiushui:
"Thank you."
Ning Qiushui nodded, and then Bai Xiaoxiao returned to her room.
After she left, Ning Qiushui, who was about to sleep, was attracted by the long black river flowing in the sky.
He went to the window and stared at the sky, and suddenly he realized...... The fog lifted.
Although the dense fog above their heads will be weaker than the surrounding ones, under normal circumstances, they can't see the flowing dark river in the sky clearly.
"The fog lifted...... Just take this opportunity to go to the "church". ”
Since Ning Qiushui appeared as a living dead in the door, he didn't feel tired at all, and his spirit was relatively full after he came out.
He put on his coat and hurried all the way to the door of the house, everyone slept tonight, Tian Xun didn't stay up late, only the brazier with embers burning in the center of the hall was left, after Ning Qiushui opened the door, the fog outside the house really dissipated, and the ghosts hidden in the fog also went away with the fog.
He took out the copper coin, carefully observed it through the eyes of the copper coin, confirmed that there was no problem, and ran all the way in the direction of the church according to the route in his memory.
"If only I had a car......
Ning Qiushui thought in his heart, should he go back and take a battery car or bicycle to try on the Weishe bus.
He ran for a while, and finally came to the familiar outside of the church, through the copper coin eye, Ning Qiushui found that the "green area" here was much larger than before, and even some of the original red areas around it had turned green.
Little by little, the rubble on the ground is turning into a road, and some small but intact houses have appeared around the church.
This "old site" is being restored by some mysterious force.
After walking a little further, several pale monks appeared on the way to the church, covered in gray robes. On the back of the gray robe, a sign resembling a cross is engraved.
After these monks saw Ning Qiushui, they would even bow down slightly and nod their heads to greet Ning Qiushui.
However, Ning Qiushui couldn't hear their voices, and could only hear a strange whisper similar to a 'shadow' in his ears.
He went deeper, pushed open the door of the inner sanctum, and as soon as he entered, he felt a faint sense of solemnity permeating the place.
The slender figure of the Lady in Black stood in the corner of the inner sanctum.
However, the monks who were pilgrimage to the statue of the Lady in Black in the center of the church seemed to be unable to see it.
Ning Qiushui came to the side of the lady in black, wanting to show his intention, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the lady raised the pale and thin index finger at him and placed it on his bright red and weird lip.
Ning Qiushui knew to shut up.
He stood with the Lady in Black and watched the monks worship the statue in the center of the temple.
After about ten minutes, the monks left.
As soon as they left, the door of the temple was suddenly guided by a mysterious force and slowly closed.
At this time, the lady slowly turned around, stared at Ning Qiushui with those crazy vertical pupils, and gently drew her palm, signaling that Ning Qiushui could speak.
"Ma'am, I have a friend ......"
“……”
"Anyway...... She needed an 'identity'. ”
After hearing this, a monk's gray robe suddenly appeared in her hand, and she handed it to Ning Qiushui, with a strange but friendly smile on her face.
The latter took the gray robe, thoughtful.
"Just put this on for her?"
The lady in black nodded slightly.
PS: There are two more shifts in the afternoon, and in addition, the next "dungeon" is opened in the real world.
