vs 18 The god Nus and the hanged man
"It's magnificent!" commented Ji Ran, "Could it be that all the books here are about that god Nus?"
"Not all of them at the time, but a significant part of them were. The deceased husband collected like crazy before his death, and he didn't care how much it cost at all. ”
It can be seen that he is indeed obsessed with this God, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a believer. ”
"Isn't it just a believer?" Liu Yiyi smiled sadly, "It's just a crazy believer." ”
"Could it be that this devil's Bible is also about this god Nus?"
According to legend, this god Nus is the great god in charge of death and judgment, which is equivalent to what we call Hades in the Central Plains. And this Devil's Bible was compiled by one of his oracles in order to find the truly pious. ”
"But since this deity is a god similar to Hades, why is the book compiled by his divine envoy called the Devil's Bible?"
"That's because this great god is still a god of deception. She walked over to a bookshelf and retrieved a bulky manuscript bound in thread. The font on it is round and large, and it is only written on one side, "Look at this book!"
"A deal with the devil!" Ji Ran read aloud, "What does this mean?" he stroked one finger to one of his eyebrows, looking for the right word, "This name is very... It's weird. ”
"It's strange!" she continued, putting the book back in its place, "This book is an account of a deal between an exotic sorcerer and the god Nuss," Liu Yiyi smiled and patted the striking title of the book, "This warlock is named Constantine, and he is said to be the first person to deceive the god Nuss. ”
Her tone was light and pleasant, as if there was an infinite amount of topic to talk about.
It's not at all like the sad look just now.
"I'm interested in your husband's death right now!"
However, Ji Ran was not interested in the warlock or the so-called Nus God that Liu Yiyi said, but instead inquired about the cause of Wu Zizhi's death.
After all, Ji Ran had seen Wu Ziyi before, and this short and fat but energetic man left a deep impression on him.
"Hang yourself!"
Liu Yiyi was not too entangled in the previous story, and her originally happy expression once became sad.
"Hanged?
"He is so obsessed with the god of the moon that he is already a little stunned, so much so that he actually thinks that suicide is a shortcut to being able to meet the god Nus!"
Liu Yiyi stared at the books on the wall, her tone became more and more choked, and she even sobbed silently.
However, Ji Ran always felt that something was wrong, and his intuition told him that this might just be Liu Yiyi's means, deliberately pretending, like an actress's preparatory actions before she began to show her acting skills.
"I'll never know what happened to him," she replied at last, still in utter silence, "and for the last week he became withdrawn and depressed, and hardly ever stepped out of the study. Then, one afternoon he slammed the door shut, went out, and did not return until early in the morning. I was still in bed and heard the door. It was only in the morning that I was woken up by the screams of the butler, and by that time my deceased husband had hanged himself from the beams of the house. ”
Liu Yiyi looked at Ji Ran now and looked at his reaction. She looked extremely sad, but Ji Ran didn't pay attention, thinking about something silently, and her mind was not here at all. It was a long time before he looked at her playfully.
At this time, Liu Yiyi's eyes blinked as if she wanted to hold back tears, but her eyes became more and more hazy, and there were signs of wetness.
This expression was enough to break the hearts of every man he had seen, and even Ji Ran was a little unbearable. Coupled with Liu Yiyi's flawless makeup, a clear shadow was reflected on her eyelids, which strengthened her eyes.
"What last words did he leave behind?" Ji Ran asked, "People who commit suicide usually do this, don't they?"
When he said this, Ji Ran also regretted it a little, it was obvious that he shouldn't care about a stranger's last words. Otherwise, it is easy to be seen as a suspicious person.
"Nothing! just trifles. ”
Sure enough, Liu Yiyi's expression changed in an instant, and the indifference made Ji Ran suspect that he was daydreaming just now.
"There is something to do today, Ji Gongzi will come back another day!"
Liu Yiyi has indirectly issued an eviction order.
However, the other party still politely sent Ji Ran to the door.
But Ji Ran always felt that the woman in front of him was not ordinary, even today's visit, he returned in vain, and even Liu Yiyi took out a lot of information.
He originally came to investigate what the book had to do with Jiang Xiaoyun's death, but unconsciously he heard a lot about the deeds of this god Nus.
He looked at Liu Yiyi and thought with quiet curiosity: "Is this woman really just an ordinary person?" He recalled in his mind that he reported his home was Liu Yiyi's calm look. It's as if I've never heard of him, and it's not like he's faking at all. Could it be that I am too careful?
"I'm interrupted today!" Ji Ran reined in his thoughts, and made a satisfied smile as he spoke, "Thank you for telling me so much." ”
"Don't thank me. I have a good impression of Jiang Gongzi, and I hope you can find out what happened. ”
"If you remember anything, you can send someone to tell me!
Ji Ran said with a smile, clenching his fists.
"Uh... Good. ”
Liu Yiyi hesitated for a moment, maybe a few more seconds than usual, and then just smiled politely and agreed.
Ji Ran was still wondering in his heart when he walked through the gate and walked out into the street.
He thought to himself that there were at least several questions that needed to be answered, and as he thought so, he ranked them in order of importance.
He walked on the clean avenue, facing the bustling street, and inadvertently looked to the left.
There was a large donkey cart full of melons, fruits and vegetables, parked dozens of feet away, and the driver was dressed in a dark gray short coat, leaning on the frame to eat watermelon.
It just so happened that he also raised his head, and he happened to make eye contact with Ji Ran.
Their eyes met for only a second, and the driver immediately lowered his head to eat his watermelon. He was dark-skinned, bearded, and had a pale scar on his cheek.
His appearance made Ji Ran feel familiar: he looked like someone.
But I couldn't remember anything, countless faces flashed in my mind, but I couldn't find anything that matched the person in front of me.
Even if this person's appearance shook Ji Ran's vague and distant memory.
He decided not to think about it anymore, everything he had done for the past few days had left him just to get a good night's sleep.
However, there was always an illogical memory in his ears that echoed in his heart. "I know him. ”
This voice was very much like Ji Ran's heart was saying to his sanity, "I've seen this person, and more than once. ”
