Volume 1: The Case of the Talented Man in Linzhou Chapter 20: The True Rune
Liu Zhi stared at Duan Ming closely. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Mr. Duan, don't you think you know too much?"
"If I didn't know anything, I wouldn't even have a chance to be caught by you." Duan Ming smiled: "If I want to survive, I think I must show my value in front of you."
"But people who know too much will never live long." Liu Zhi said solemnly.
"That's because he doesn't know enough." Duan Ming shook his head: "When I know a lot of things that you don't know, then you won't be willing to kill me."
"What do I not know?" Liu Zhi shook his head: "Mr. Duan, please tell me, what do I not know?"
"There are many talented people in Linzhou, and the title of 'Four Great Talents' for Su Meng and the others is just for their own amusement, but why did the Immortal Church choose them as their targets? Do you know?" Duan Ming asked with a smile.
"This..." Liu Zhi thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Duan, don't bully me. As you said, there are many talented people in Linzhou, and someone will die.
It doesn’t matter who you are. If you choose them, it’s their destiny.”
"No, no, they will die, not just because they are unlucky." Duan Ming shook his head: "Even if the Immortality Sect does not intend to rebel, these four people will definitely die."
"Then you might as well tell me why you died?" Liu Zhi became interested.
"The Immortality Religion has seven deities and twelve characters. The so-called twelve characters are twelve runes. You know this." Duan Ming said straightforwardly without being too subtle.
"Of course." Liu Zhi nodded.
"The Immortality Cult has spread these twelve articles throughout the world to promote the teachings of the Immortality Cult." Duan Ming said solemnly: "Everyone in the world says that the Immortality Cult is selfless, but they don't know the small thoughts behind the Immortality Cult. These twelve articles have been spread throughout the world.
, they are actually just imitation fakes.”
"The imitation runes are different from the real runes, so the imitation runes lack all kinds of magic compared to the real runes."
"And the reason why Su Meng and the others died is because Ji Qianfan got a real rune of the Immortality Sect out of nowhere."
"The four of Ji Qianfan have a very good relationship, so Ji Qianfan gave the rune to Su Meng and others to study together, but he didn't want to cause the four of them to die under the plan of the Immortality Cult."
"Even in order to destroy the real rune that was accidentally lost, the Immortality Cult sent people to sneak into the four families of Su, Fang, Du, and Ji, and even directly caused the death of the old lady of the Fang family."
"Liu Tongzhi, do you know this?"
"Are you saying that Mrs. Fang's death was the work of the Immortality Cult?" Liu Zhi frowned.
You must know that the entire Linzhou City matter has been handed over to his command, but he is indeed completely unaware of this matter.
"Of course, you can ask your father, Old Man Liu." Duan Ming said solemnly.
"He?" Liu Zhi was slightly confused, then suddenly raised his head: "You said Old Man Liu is my father?"
"Is there anything difficult to guess?" Duan Ming said: "Both of you are named Liu. Old man Liu also said in the past that he only has one son left. You look about the same age, and your appearance is somewhat similar.
.”
"All of them are named Liu?" Liu Zhi shook his head and said, "Mr. Duan, what you said is too hasty."
"Perhaps, but it's just about deciding the case and analyzing it. Isn't it just about making bold assumptions and careful verification." Duan Ming replied.
"Haha." Liu Zhi shook his head: "Mr. Duan, I will naturally ask what you said, but your things are not enough for me to keep you alive."
After saying that, Liu Zhi slowly stood up and took out a small dagger from the basket.
"Don't you want to become the eighth member of the Immortality Sect?" However, there was no panic on Duan Ming's face, but he said extremely calmly.
"Huh?" Liu Zhi's movements froze, and his eyes were fixed on Duan Ming's face: "What do you mean?"
"Each of the seven immortals of the Immortality Sect has a unique understanding of the twelve runes. In other words, if you have a deep understanding of a certain rune, then you can become the eighth one." Duan
Ming whispered: "The real rune in Ji Qianfan's hand was not completely destroyed by the Immortality Sect, but is in my hand."
"As long as you want, I can help you understand this rune. In this way, you will become the eighth emperor of the Immortality Religion. If the Immortality Religion succeeds in its rebellion in the future, you will be the eighth emperor of this world."
"On the contrary, you will definitely die."
"What do you mean?" Liu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Xing Qianqiu is not a kind person. Although he has not thought that it is you at the moment, as long as it takes a little longer, he will find you sooner or later." Duan Ming said: "In order to save your life, you must deal with him. It is best to
Able to kill him."
"But what is your value? Although your power in the Mirror Department is not too small, it is not very big either."
"Your biggest role is to guide and monitor Xing Qianqiu. Once Xing Qianqiu dies, you will be worthless."
"Think about it, as you said before. When you become a person of no value, but know a lot of things, what will be your end?"
"This..." Liu Zhi was shocked and immediately understood what Duan Ming meant.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Zhi said: "You said you have the rune in your hand, but where is it? I need to see it before making a decision."
"It's in my morgue, um, placed together with the yellow cloth." Duan Ming said.
"Okay, I'll go get it now." Liu Zhi nodded: "If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you first. Even if you are silenced by the Immortality Cult in the future, I will not let you live."
"Don't worry." Duan Ming nodded: "How could I lie to you? Can I just ask you one thing?"
"Say." Liu Zhi said in a deep voice, "Don't want me to let you go."
"Of course." Duan Ming said with a smile: "I just said so much, I'm really a little thirsty, can you give me some water?"
"There is no water here, only wine. Do you want to drink?" Liu Zhi said and walked back to the table and poured a bowl of wine.
"Of course, of course." Duan Ming nodded repeatedly.
Liu Zhi then gave Duan Ming a bowl of wine and left in a hurry.
Duan Ming looked at the closed door and the dark room, and sighed deeply...
Soon, Liu Zhi arrived at the door of the morgue. Compared with asking Old Man Liu to find out what happened first, Liu Zhi paid more attention to the real runes mentioned by Duan Ming.
However, before Liu Zhi opened the door, he heard a voice coming from behind him: "Liu Zhi."
Liu Zhi's body suddenly stiffened, and then he turned around and looked behind him, only to see Xing Qianqiu standing behind him at the moment.
"Commander." Liu Zhi calmed down and looked at Xing Qianqiu with a serious face: "Mr. Duan, something happened!" This chapter has been completed!
