7 This is the day of my death
"What do you need me to do?" I could see the chaotic relationship between Mai Ye and the Dragon Elephant Girl, who was also a master and apprentice, a father and daughter, and a couple, and suddenly felt a chill in my back.
Throughout the ages, the head descenders have been unable to be emotional all their lives, and once this taboo is violated, there will be an irreparable big hole in the ability to control the attack of poisonous insects, and they will be attacked by poisonous insects at any time. In this line of work, death is not the most terrible, and the backlash of the head-lowering technique can even affect my relatives and friends of the Nine Clans.
"I don't know...... I don't know, Eagle, it's time for me to die. The blue-gray color on his face became heavier and heavier, the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose concave were in an imperceptible state of continuous disappearance, and a square seal filled with black gas appeared in the center of his eyebrows.
Mai Ye's faction takes the "Bangkok bullfrog" as the protector god, and the shadow on the seal is engraved with the image of a crouching bullfrog.
"Eagle, I look forward to you coming, but I'm actually afraid that you will come, poisonous insects will retaliate, and the body protector will bring you bad luck, but I have no choice. Until she finds out her identity, she won't be blind to death. Do you say, 'Is this my last fate?'" He raised his hands and rubbed them slowly but cautiously between his brows, and the seal finally reappeared and disappeared.
"She's not a 'soldier', if you're not at ease, I'll call right away to verify. Mai Ye, you should believe in your own skills, if there are clues on the other party that can be traced back to your identity, you can detect it a long time ago. "I'm not deliberately comforting him, the head descender can get the life information of ordinary people with just a hair and a photo, let alone the object of getting along day and night and coexisting in the same room?
Mai Ye wanted to speak and stopped, and fell into a state of hesitation and hesitation.
I took out the phone, pressed an international number without thinking, waited until the other person's phone rang three times, and hung up immediately.
"Eagle, do you know why I'm settled here - don't answer, listen to me. I've been traveling around Africa all these years, and I've never left the desert, just to find a clue about something. I know that there are quite a few great men who have come to Egypt for various reasons, all for that thing, hehe, as far as I know, no one knows more about that thing than I do......" He rubbed his fat palms together a dozen times, and Huo stretched it out and spread it flat on the table, "Look-"
The palm of his left palm was as pale as paper, and he couldn't see any palm prints or fingerprints at the moment, only a clear black and white image.
I only glanced at it, and although my face didn't show anything, I was already secretly gasping in my heart: "Prometheus fire?"
I was so impressed by the gold cylinder with its gems on all eight sides that I could make it out even in a black-and-white image. The image in the palm of Mai Ye's right palm is an undulating sea, even if it is in a static state, it can also make people imagine the turbulent scene of the waves flying on the tip of the waves.
"Eagle, you're not interested in this?" Mai Ye was a little disappointed.
"As long as it's a baby, everyone will be interested, but I cherish life more. Mai Ye, you should remember the story of the desert man's 'grain for gold', right? He threw the food and drinking water on his hunchback to the devil and exchanged it for a mountain of gold, but he died of thirst in the depths of the desert. Mai Ye, no matter whether my identity has changed or not, I always value my life and the lives of my friends more than Jinshan. ”
The more secrets you know, the more dangerous your situation will be, which is the common rule of survival in black and white.
Mai Ye slowly clenched his fists and muttered a wry smile: "Eagle, I just think that if this secret is handed over to you, I will be more at ease." ”
I shook my head resolutely, clasped my palms to my chest, and bowed my head in thanks.
"In fact, a character like you is likely to treat any treasure coveted by the world as if it were nothing. Eagle, with your concentration and recuperation, if you can join the industry of head descender, you will definitely be able to reach the point where there is no one before or after you, and become a top person in this industry. Do you know that the five-year Global Head Descender Conference is about to be held in Pattaya, Bangkok, and I can help you become famous and sit on the throne of the 'King of Head Descenders', which is also my lifelong desire......
Mai Ye's voice became very deep, as if he was telling someone else's story, without any enthusiasm to speak of.
"Thank you. "I salute again with all sincerity.
"You don't, eagle, can you fulfill the last wish of a dying person?" he turned his head out the window, pretending to enjoy the sunset, but a cloudy tear rolled in the corner of his eye.
soaring into the sky and becoming famous in the world is indeed a great attraction to all people in the rivers and lakes, but I have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes. If I was hungry for fame, I would have stayed up in the organization for a few more years, and when the major instructors had retired from the background, I would naturally be promoted to a big man who gave an order and died for thousands of people. It's a pity that I'm not the kind of person who is keen on fame and fortune, and I just want to live a life that is completely my own.
"Your eyes...... Something went wrong?" I changed my words in time to avoid the word "total blind."
"Closed the hearing and hearing, cut off the pulse, and the divine insect left the body and turned into ashes. Eagle, blind in both eyes is only the first step towards death, I see my own future, a bizarre and terrifying result, a scene that you and I can't imagine. You see—" He lifted his clothes and showed his navel, which was covered with crooked scars, "that kind of ending is out of my control, and I can only barely survive by relying on deep self-harm and the power of the Divine Worm." ”
When I entered the hall just now, I was already vaguely aware of Mai Ye's strangeness. As a big head lowerer, his vision is as sharp as a needle tip and a wheat, and everyone who looks at him will have a tingling sensation in his eyes, but I have looked at him more than a dozen times, but I have not felt anything.
"What's the end of that?" The sunset over Cairo City was a rare sight that caught my eye, and of course, I wanted to break the solemn atmosphere in the small living room with a relaxed tone.
As a head lowering master, he will often take many disgusting poisonous insects to increase his strength, or through unimaginable self-harm methods, to improve the body's endurance, so as to achieve the state of invulnerability. In the eyes of ordinary people, these projects are absolutely bizarre and terrifying, and even if you only watch them once, you will be haunted by nightmares for the rest of your life. So, what would the scene look like when even the head descender would feel hopeless?
"It was a vast space, full of tangled and slippery bodies, and I was in it, but I didn't know what they were. I wanted to die, but I couldn't enter the realm of death, I just couldn't live on my own, and I knew that I would continue to live like this, entangled with more and more bodies. There was no sky, and I looked up, just a huge golden dome that stretched endlessly in all directions. Looking down, the gaze is blocked by the body—I know that the same body will grow more and more until it reaches the position of the dome, filling all the space. Then, another mutation will occur, the dome will burst, and the body will rise to the ground, filling every corner of the city......"
Mai Ye raised his hands and pressed his temples hard, his facial muscles twisting painfully.
His description is rather bizarre, and he never says what the "body" represents.
"The earth – the earth will be filled with this kind of thing, land, sea, mountains, deserts...... They were all covered in them, and I even saw the outer space spacecraft get entangled in them as soon as they landed. Eagle, it seems to me that the earth no longer exists at that time, only a strange ball made of billions of bodies. ”
Mai Ye shuddered, his eyes widened, and he looked nervously left and right, "Eagle, why is it so dark all of a sudden? No, it's pitch black in front of me, where are you? Where are you-"
I grabbed his hands and whispered softly, "I'm here, you can be quiet and your eyes relaxed, you will be fine." ”
After a pause, Mai Ye let out a desperate sigh: "Eagle, I'm completely blind." ”
His black eyes were rapidly shrinking until they became extremely tiny dots parasitic on the white eyeballs.
"Take me away, take me away, this world is too scary. Eagles, only you can save me, take me away, they cannot be destroyed, but will reproduce, multiply, and grow indefinitely, like small leaf aphids in the bushes......" he muttered incoherently.
"Who are they, what are those bodies?" I lowered, and my sixth sense told me that all the changes in Mai Ye had come from the strange night when the dragon elephant girl appeared.
"They are ......" Mai Ye's arms shook and broke free of my hands, and his back straightened up, and he bounced up.
I didn't dare to slack off, so I jumped up and slapped my right palm on the Baihui acupoint above the other person's head with a "snap", and my left palm almost silently touched the middle acupoint on his chest at the same time.
"Tell me, what the hell are they?" I whispered, the echo humming and making the glass on the window tremble.
Mai Ye was already completely under my control, but I couldn't detect his heartbeat, so I could only channel the internal force into his body meridians in one go.
The door of the small living room opened silently, and the dragon elephant girl stood quietly at the door, her face as calm as the autumn water.
"Ahh It was a martial art he had stolen from Brazilian martial arts, and he used it to avoid the enemy's retreat.
I had to let go and watch out.
"There is no need to struggle, all fates are in the compass, against the sky, is it useful?" the dragon elephant girl smiled, put her palms together in front of her chest, and formed the authentic "Great Enlightenment to Troubles Seal" in Thai Buddhism, and her expression immediately became awe-inspiring and inviolable, just like the main Bodhisattva in the main hall of the temple.
Mai Ye let out a scream, and more than a dozen cold stars shot out from his armpits and legs, clanging and intertwining into a curtain of light, enveloping me and the dragon elephant girl. The head descending master is known for Gu magic, witchcraft, and insect repellent techniques, but each of them is also very good at martial arts, and they have their own unique secret skills.
"Be careful, he's crazy—" I flashed in front of the dragon elephant girl, and grabbed a colorful silk scarf under the low table in my hand, shook it open, and danced in the air to block the hidden weapon that was being shot.
The top priority is to control Mai Ye, so that he does not hurt others and himself. Here, I did make a considerable mistake, because in what Mai Ye said, the origin of all the strange things has been pointed to the Dragon Elephant Girl, and what I should really do is to find out where she came from and find the answer from her.
The passage of "entangled bodies" mentioned by Mai Ye reminded me of the brief hallucinations I had when I first entered the desert with Miz - the bottomless fall process, far away, thousands of entangled and ready to move. It was clear to me that they were not ordinary earth creatures like pythons, but something I had never seen before.
"Leng Xin is falling into their arms, and she will soon ......" I shuddered involuntarily, unwilling to recall it again, "So, what role did the Dragon Elephant Girl play in Mai Ye's mutation?"
"He didn't go crazy, it was just the last struggle of the Descending Master before he died. You don't know anything about this world, so it's best not to be suspicious. She sneered and pushed me away, all the way to Mai Ye, and then the two of them looked at each other closely.
Mai Ye's white eyes were stared at the limit, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, extremely hideous.
"I am your disciple, so it is the rule of this profession to pass on all the mantle of thought to me. You die, I live, and then the people of the earth will know that Mai Ye Da Descending Master will live forever, his soul will be inserted into the wings of death, and he will live forever in the sky above the Egyptian desert. Isn't that good?" The dragon elephant woman spread her arms and took a big step forward.
"Are you...... You are...... Are you ......" Mai Ye shouted, nervously taking three steps back, and slamming against the windowsill.
"I am your descendant, the head descending master will continue from generation to generation, come on, come on-" The dragon elephant girl's palms pressed against Mai Ye's temples, and immediately flashed a series of crackling blue static sparks.
She was a head shorter than Mai Ye, so I could see Mai Ye's expression over her head. In an instant, Mai Ye gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks were strangely knotted, showing that he was undergoing a harsh torture.
"Let him go, he's not doing well!" I knew Mai Ye needed help, but it wasn't hers.
The dragon elephant girl didn't look back, and when I leaped over and slapped my left palm on her shoulder, I suddenly felt a strong electric shock enter my palm, and half of my body became paralyzed. If it was just static electricity in the human body, it would only flash a spark and release it, but now I feel the burning pain after being hit by a normal mains electricity.
The three of us stood in a strange row, and the one who controlled everything had changed from Mai Ye to the Dragon Elephant Girl.
The phone in my trouser pocket rang, and it was the number I had just dialed and was calling back, but I couldn't move, and I was standing on the spot.
"Soldier?" the dragon elephant girl turned her head, her eyes scorching, and her spirit increased several times. Her lips were so bright that I couldn't help but think of a monster that had just sucked human blood.
"It's ...... I'm dead...... The days ......" Mai Ye staggered and leaned on the windowsill, his face was pale, his footing was unsteady, and he slowly slipped to the ground, holding his knees with both hands, and curled up into a ball.
The paralysis on my body disappeared, and I didn't care about answering the phone, so I immediately rushed to Mai Ye's side, grabbed his arm, and dragged him up.
"I'm fine, Eagle, leave me alone. He shook his head with a miserable laugh and buried his face in his knees.
"He's fine, I'm just using my own mental power to clear the demons in his body. Electricity, it's the best tool for slaying demons, you're probably okay, right?" the dragon elephant sneered proudly, as if she disdained my ignorance.
Of course I'm fine, after I was sure that Mai Ye was still awake, I immediately adjusted my breathing, picked up the phone, and gently "hey".
"Eagle, is it really you, you really shouldn't trust your ears. Hehe, can you tell who I am?" came a crisp laugh like a silver bell from the earpiece, and suddenly opened my dusty memory.
"Hannah, how could you not hear me?" I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my lips.
"I wish I was an amnesiac 'soldier', so that I would feel better and not have to doubt my identity all day long. The dragon elephant girl's face darkened, and she turned and walked out of the small living room.
"Hey, wait a minute, wait for me, it doesn't matter what identity it is......" Mai Ye stood up straight, and then chased out. It seems that he is indeed fine, at least he understands his identity, and from his concerned and distressed tone, it can be seen that his feelings for the Dragon Elephant Girl are very complicated.
Now that Mai Ye is fine, my heart can be put down again, and I will take the hustle and bustle just now as a small accident for the time being.
"Eagle, the instructor just left, I knew you could call, he definitely wouldn't leave, and I'm going to persuade you to turn back. Hannah said with a smile, as if I had seen her youthful face with delicate features. She is the highest-ranking operator in the organization, the equivalent of the auditory center of the larger system, responsible for all sound-related information.
I smiled wryly, not wanting to give any explanation on the subject.
"Are you in Cairo? I can reveal to you a piece of gossip that does not violate the rules of the organization, it is said that there will be a grand event of the global underworld people soon, and the elite figures of the Yamaguchi-gumi, which is deservedly ranked No. 1 in Asia, and the Chinese underworld dragon hall in Chinatown have arrived, so you had better not show up frequently, lest you have trouble coming to your door. ”
Hannah speaks quickly, but articulately, and her voice is sweet and perfect. At that time, she was one of the five most popular beauties in the organization, dismissive of any man's pursuits, and once had the nickname "Ice Goddess".
The Yamaguchi-gumi, who are best at drug trafficking, pornography trafficking and urban violence, have always been an underworld force that has given INTERPOL headquarters in Asia a headache to death, but they have the support of powerful political groups and economic consortia behind them, and they have repeatedly retreated from the encirclement and suppression of Interpol, and when they make a comeback for the second time, they will always cause even greater chaos.
If they were stationed in Cairo, they feared that the social order would soon be in turmoil, because the African Interpol was relatively weak and did not have enough experience to deal with this group of murderous thugs.
As for Long Tang, they have always been compared to the "scribe gentlemen" in the underworld, at least on the surface, before they take any action, they will first create a high-sounding reason to show that they do this "involuntarily and unexpectedly".
The underworld characters put "profit" first, and in my opinion, they are moving for the "sea of gold", after all, running such a huge community machine, the daily expenses accumulate a lot, and there is always a large financial deficit.
"Hannah, I'd love to stay out of it, but now I can't get out of it - aside, please help me look up a painless girl to see if she's an escapee from the 'Soldier' group?" In addition, her IQ seems to be very high, and her 'mind reading' has obviously entered the realm of a first-class psychology master, and she has quickly and thoroughly comprehended the unique methods of the head lowering master industry. ”
These data are obtained by me through "visual inspection", and the error will not exceed plus or minus one percent.
"That's all?" The sound of a computer keyboard clattering immediately sounded, and Hannah's instant reflexes were repeatedly praised by instructors, and after five years, there was still no regression.
"Yes. "I couldn't see Hannah's expression, but I knew exactly what she was thinking.
Hannah knew the information of the "soldiers" group, and was no stranger to the death rule that "the test subject must be male", so when I reported the information of a girl, she would find it incredible.
"Eagle, do you suspect that this person has used gender mutation and osteolasty?" Hannah thought with me, but within a few seconds she gave me the most accurate answer, "All the 'soldiers' databases have been searched, there are no people who have disappeared for no reason, and there are no escapes and no returns, everyone's information is very complete, but I can't find the girl you said." No matter what disguise she uses, she can't belong to the 'soldiers' group. ”
I silently said that this conclusion was the same as my previous judgment, and even if the dragon elephant girl did not feel pain, it did not mean that she was once a "soldier".
"I can help you look up the medical records of the 45 painless people who currently exist around the world, including six young girls, three Asians, and three Europeans, and there are detailed monitoring data reports every day. So, the people you see won't be them. Hannah smiled helplessly.
I made this call just to confirm my judgment, so I wasn't extremely frustrated to get the result Hannah said, but just sighed: "I understand, thank you, Hannah." ”
It seems to be an ordinary call, but the number of communication signal transfers behind it has reached the upper limit of system secrecy, and the high-precision sound analysis spectrometer around Hannah will also accurately check and compare my voice to ensure that the location of the organization and the communication system will not be invaded by people with ulterior motives.
Before closing the line, Hannah added in a joking tone: "Eagle, come back, I'...... We miss you so much, take care. ”
She said such a pun to me herself when she left five years ago, and it still touches me a little now.
"Take care of yourself, ask the instructor on your behalf. "I carefully retracted the thread, as if I was afraid that this subtle movement would hurt the other party. People in Hongchen, the word "love" must be cautious, cautious, and cautious, once the sensitive boundaries of the relationship between men and women are crossed, the consequences are absolutely like a waterfall out of the sky, and the ending cannot be speculated.
"The Dragon Elephant Girl is not a 'soldier', she doesn't know anything about her past, where did this girl come from?" I can't explain, it's not surprising, because even the person who witnessed it, Mai Ye, can't tell the specific situation at that time.
The light outside the window dimmed, and the light of the setting sun finally changed from pale yellow to disappearing, and the day passed in a hurry. I didn't receive Bai Li's call, and I always hung a corner for her in my heart, for fear that when a call came in, it would be a tragic end for the entire army of one party.
If Bai Li died in the hands of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, the "Snake King" side is "one door and two mournings within 100 days", which is the "most murderous" in Feng Shui, and the scholars all know that in this case, the people related to the deceased will die violently for no reason, and they will not die well.
Fu Bo is a friend of the "Snake King" Bai Shuyi, and Bai Shuyi and I have also met a few times in Bangkok, Thailand, and we can talk. Based on the above two points, we don't want to see the daughter of the deceased take risks, and it is not good to make the "Snake King" disappear from now on.
When I walked out of the small living room, Mai Ye and the Dragon Elephant Girl were sitting opposite each other in the middle of the hall, each holding a gray pottery wine glass in their hands. In addition to a bottle of Egyptian native wine on the low table, there was also a small gray suitcase, and on the top was a protective insect belonging to Mai Ye's faction - a blood-red bullfrog lying on its body and ready to attack.
"Eagle, take the dragon elephant girl with you to save your friend, I believe that her skills will be able to cure the disease. However, you have to keep her safe and don't let too many people disturb her, can you?" Mai Ye's palm was on the combination lock of the suitcase, and his face was replaced by a breezy smile.
I frowned, "Okay, but you like—" If I'm not mistaken, the suitcase contained the "suit" he had relied on to become famous and regarded as his life.
Mai Ye smiled on his back and responded to me word by word: "You guessed it, I want to pass on the 'battle suit' to the Dragon Elephant Girl, because—this, yes, I, death, the, day, son." ”
