10 The secret room where the water flows back was filled with the rapid and embarrassing sound of the plague. I stared at the rushing water swirling out from the drain of the pool, but part of my sight was squinting at the plague in the mirror. Faced with this
The all-pervasive master has to be careful to avoid suffering.
It is impossible to imagine what happened to Guan Baoling's disappearance, but it seems that this plague did not deliberately tell lies.
"Here? Disappeared from the faucet?" I asked with a sneer.
"Yes, it's right here." Plague replied firmly, but his tone was as confused as mine, and he turned to look out the window.
My wrist sank, and I pulled out the knife stuck on the scabbard of my forearm. Only more than an inch of the blade was exposed in the gap between my index finger and middle finger. Then I slowly turned around and stared at Plague's face: "I don't care what you are.
It’s not really the plague, but we are the only ones in this villa tonight. I would be sorry if I didn’t tell the truth——”
The blade flashed in the light, reflecting on the tip of his nose.
Plague leaned against the door frame and smiled bitterly: "Really, I'm telling the truth."
The tip of the knife scratched the white marble panel, making a sharp "crunching" friction sound. My patience was running out. After two hours of ineffective search, plus the fight and chase with the plague, my body
There is not much energy left.
"You'd better tell the truth that we can all accept, otherwise-"
I looked out the window. Outside was an endless barren hillside. It is said that there is a kind of snow wolf in Hokkaido that cannot endure the cold winter. It will attack human residential areas when it cannot find food. In this kind of environment, kill one or two people and throw them away.
, will be picked up by wolves within a few hours, leaving no trace.
After Plague was shot by a concealed weapon, his face was covered with blood and he was in a state of embarrassment. But I still admire him for being able to jump onto a chandelier and escape in the air even though his knee was seriously injured - the reason why any legendary figure in the world can
To be "respected and spread by word of mouth", there must be something special about him.
"What I said, the scene I saw is actually not easy for even myself to accept. In this way... I will just describe it, you just listen, don't interrupt, wait until I finish..."
He raised his sleeve to wipe away the blood dripping from his brow, and then began to narrate with a wry smile - "I live in a villa group, which is the villa group around the mountain that belongs to you Chinese, but the place where I spend the night is not fixed every night.
Don't ask me why I came to this damn place, that's my private matter. Every evening, I need to go to the 'Psychic Well' on the mountain to get water... Before you move in, I will drink the water and go upstairs
Spend the night in the bedroom..."
He pointed to the top of his head, very naturally, as if the villa was his private property.
"You're here. Of course I'm too embarrassed to disturb you. I went elsewhere last night. But today, when I saw the girl climbing over the gate and coming in, I became curious and thought I could sneak a peek at the show, so I just lay there.
On the roof…”
I raised my eyebrows and interrupted and asked, "The roof tiles keep making noise, so it's your footsteps?" I originally thought it was the strong north wind in the mountains that made the roof tiles make noise.
Plague suddenly showed a very surprised expression: "Can you hear my footsteps? Oh my god - can you use a hidden weapon to crack my 'Phantom of Heaven and Earth' Qing Gong? Who are you? How do you know this 'Electric Vision'
Kung fu?"
His body moved upward, and blood began to flow from several wounds at the same time.
I turned off the faucet and shook my head slowly: "Electronic vision? What kind of skill is that?"
Plague wiped his eyes again, tilted his head and stared at my face, sucking in a breath of cold air. After a few minutes, he shook his head in relief: "No, you are not the hero Yang Tian!"
I originally thought that apart from him, no one in the world could possess this magical power, but it seems I was wrong...haha...I was wrong!"
It's really weird for him to be so happy when he's wrong.
"Do you know the hero Yang Tian? The legendary 'King of Tomb Robbers' Yang Tian?" I suppressed the excitement in my heart. The legends about Big Brother in the world are all general and miraculous things. I hope to get more
Detailed information.
Plague's mung bean eyes started to move strangely again, and I suddenly thought: "I've shown too much emotion, and I'm afraid I'll give him another chance!"
"Haha! Haha!" Plague laughed twice, tilted his head back, closed his eyes and breathed heavily.
The wind outside started to pick up again, and this time it should be the real sound of roof tiles being blown by the wind, making a rattling sound.
The faucet was not completely closed, water dripped continuously, and the sound was monotonous and strange.
"Is Guan Baoling's disappearance related to the faucet? Or is it related to the sound of bubbling water?" I stretched out my hands and pressed them on the mirror, right where the two water stains of the handprints were.
The glass is cold, smooth, clean, and unremarkable.
I slowly moved my hands to both sides, pressed on the two water stains on the frame, and slowly exerted force, imitating Guan Baoling's movement when he tried to remove the mirror. The mirror was very heavy, and the parts with lenses inlaid on the four sides were visible.
The genuine bronze weighs more than twenty kilograms.
A girl like Guan Baoling cannot lift this weight at all. In other words, her disappearance has nothing to do with the mirror in the first place.
"Hey, kid, you want to know about Yang Tian? Now you've found the right person -" Plague recovered, his tone gradually became arrogant, he put his knees away and tried to stand up holding on to the door frame.
I turned around quickly and sneered: "What if you want to know? So what if you don't want to know?" Facing such a dirty lake, the old youtiao, I am afraid that any of my thoughts will be guessed by him.
"If you want to, pay to listen; if you don't want to - there are many rich men in this world waiting to hear his legendary stories, I won't force it..." His hand grabbed the door frame, and when he was halfway up, I suddenly raised my hand and ejaculated.
The knife flew through the air with a hiss, and was nailed to the door frame, right between his index and middle fingers.
The most valuable and most important thing for a master thief is these two fingers, which are their lifeblood and support in traveling around the world.
"I don't want to be rude, but if you continue to play tricks, don't blame us juniors for not giving face to our seniors..."
I have money, but the lure of money alone doesn't seem to be enough to bring the plague into submission tonight.
Plague stood up with difficulty and glanced at me sideways: "One word! Give me 10 million, and I will tell you all the information! Hero Yang Tian? We are old friends, and we met just now in front of the fireplace.
Let's fight, oh, by the way, we are just competing among friends in the world - he is famous and has a large drinking capacity, but compared to me..."
The fortune tellers have said: People with yellow faces are born to be masters of lying. Even if they tell a big lie, there will be no trace of it on their face.
Plague's mung bean eyes kept moving around, making me doubtful of his words.
"Ten million?"
"Yes, for ten million US dollars, I can give you information, and there is one more thing. Maybe a young boy like you has never heard of it - the 'Book of Purgatory'..." He kept tilting his head.
He looked at me and realized that the five bullets I had just fired had made him miserable. At this moment, he must be gnashing his teeth in his heart and hating me. In this case, he couldn't believe the deal he said of "10 million in exchange for information".
How could I not know about the "Book of Purgatory"? That strange book that Japanese monks dream of. Only by cooperating with the spells on the "Book of Purgatory" can the secret of the "Tower of the Dead" be understood.
I threw my head back and laughed three times, "Hahaha", because many Japanese consortiums and global explorers have bid 500 million US dollars for this book, mobilizing all the underworld forces in the world to search for it. If Plague knows the whereabouts of this book, and
Why waste your time here with me for one million or ten million?
"Are you kidding? The 'Book of Purgatory'? Is it in your hand? Hahahaha, you're kidding..." I laughed, frowning and smiling bitterly.
The blood on Plague's neck smeared out and spilled on his clothes, but he didn't bother to wipe it and laughed louder than me: "Haha, you are said to be a ignorant boy who doesn't understand anything. You are still not convinced! Of course I do."
This book, think about it, who am I? I am the number one thief 'Plague', right? If I see all the treasures in the world, I can catch them all. The 'Night Angels' are the number one thief gang in the world, we
My thief skills are at least fifty years ahead of other gangs... Forget it, I have no money to teach you, so I should leave..."
The existence of "Night Angel" is a strange "pride" in the hearts of many Korean people, just like they feel that industrial brands such as "Samsung, LG, Daewoo" are their pride, and "Night Angel" is also
It has indeed lived up to the enthusiastic expectations of the people. It has won the title of "No. 1 in the World" at the "Global Thieves Conference" in Berlin, Germany for five consecutive years, impressing tens of thousands of stealing masters from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States.
I have no extravagant expectations for the "Book of Purgatory". I just want to find Guan Baoling as soon as possible.
"If you want to leave, you can either tell me the whereabouts of that girl, or leave your life behind. You can choose for yourself..." My left arm dropped, and another knife slipped into my hand. These two hidden knives,
It was at Su Lun's strong request that I had no choice but to take them with me. In fact, with my ability to adapt to changes in circumstances, it was unnecessary to carry them with me.
"She was...she disappeared from the water. I saw it with my own eyes. When the water started to reverse its flow, she disappeared..."
The knife was very intimidating, and Plague finally got to the point. He leaned on the door frame, swinging his injured leg, and kept rubbing his left hand on the top of his head. This strange movement did not attract my attention, because
His words were so shocking - "Water reverses? How does water reverse?" I didn't react for a while.
"The water flowed out of the spout and flowed to the sewer. Suddenly the direction changed, and it came out of the sewer and flowed back to the spout. Her hand was stretched under the spout, and suddenly it disappeared. I thought she was being sucked by the faucet.
Breathe it in..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by my laughter: "What, what, what?"
I slapped the stainless steel faucet hard, and it made a loud popping noise - what he said was simply ridiculous. This was not a horror movie. Can the faucet suck people away?
Plague smiled gloomily: "I'm telling the truth, forget it if you don't believe me!"
I slapped the faucet more than a dozen times, my palms turned red from the shock, and then I turned back to him: "If she was sucked away, why wouldn't I? Why are we still standing here fine? Why?"
He didn't explain it, and he couldn't explain it. I paid a million, and what I got was such a ridiculous and bizarre story with no beginning or end.
"It's time for me to go...Whether you believe it or not, what I said is the truth. Regarding the 'Book of Purgatory', if you are sincere, we can talk about it tomorrow night, but my medical expenses will have to be charged to your account."
Go up..." He walked towards the back window, preparing to use the Bone Shrinking Kung Fu again to leave.
I don't know whether to believe him or not. "Disappearing from the faucet" is by no means a reasonable explanation for Guan Baoling's mysterious disappearance.
"Hey, senior, I have enough money. If your information can tempt me, any number is no problem!" I raised my voice and shouted towards his back. The property left behind by the scalpel can only be described as "astronomical figures,
To describe it as "countless", if I can buy some valuable information, I think Su Lun will never be stingy.
Plague staggered and walked to the window. He stretched out his hand to open the window and turned around with a smile: "Kid, of course my information is valuable, otherwise..." He stopped talking, held up the window sill with one hand, and jumped out lightly.
His body suddenly shrunk into a very flat page and slipped through the gaps of those fine and strong anti-theft nets without any hindrance.
I slowly walked to the window, facing the north wind and the wilderness silently. Things tonight were even more depressing than last night, and weird things happened one after another. I could only ask Xiao Kereng for help.
Back in the living room, I dialed the number left by Xiao Kereng: "Something happened in the villa..." After this opening statement, I remembered that the plot of Guan Baoling breaking in through the door seemed unacceptable, so I forcibly repeated the following words
Stop it and just say - "Xiao Xiao, something strange happened. Can you come over and talk?"
Xiao Kereng hesitated on the other end of the phone: "This..."
Dialogue plots like this often occur in third-rate romantic literary films. When the male protagonist is about to seduce the heroine, he usually uses such dialogue. Xiao Kereng must have misunderstood me, so he hesitated to answer.
I punched the sofa in annoyance and said quickly: "Oh, by the way, we will actually meet tomorrow for the same talk. I'm sorry to bother you!"
Xiao Kereng replied with disappointment and hope: "Oh, that's it..."
I couldn't care about that much, so I hung up the phone mentally and physically, my head full of depression.
If the disappearance of Guan Baoling is really like what the plague said, because a strange thing happened in the bathroom, "water backed up and people disappeared", then where did she go? The four-dimensional space? The secret passage of the castle? Or was she directly captured by monsters?
?
Should I call the police? Will Guan Baoling’s driver and the little boy call the police?
Curling up on the sofa, there were so many questions in my mind for a while. In fact, with my personality, I might as well pay the plague 10 million and solve these question marks one by one. Maybe only in that way can I sleep well tonight.
Sleep peacefully.
I refilled the fireplace with firewood, stared at the dancing firelight, and looked forward to the strange sound of bubbling water. With Guan Baoling's disappearance in front of me, even if turbulent sea water suddenly erupted from the fireplace at this moment, I would
I won't feel scared anymore.
Unfortunately, nothing happened. I kept staring at the flames until I leaned tiredly on the sofa and fell asleep. Nothing strange happened again.
I had a dream - Guan Baoling was lying in the water, the extremely clear water was rolling upwards and gushing like a blooming lotus, and she was lying so peacefully in the middle of the lotus, holding her hands elegantly, lying horizontally
The water was very deep around the waist, and although it was extremely clear, it continued unfathomably downward. Countless huge bubbles rolled up and floated up, making strange and continuous "gurgling" sounds.
I don't know what kind of place this is. It looks like a huge swimming pool, but from visual inspection, the water depth is at least fifteen meters away. No swimming pool in the world is so deep? It's like a well - ah, by the way, this is a well
, this is the "Psychic Well" in Fengge Temple, a well with magical precognitive power. I have been here, lowered my head and looked again, on the bluestone beside the pool, there are layers of lotus carved on it, lifelike and endless.
Absolutely, it is definitely a "well of psychics".
So, this is Fengqieji Temple?
What happened to Guan Baoling? In my memory, there is another person lying like this, that is Tengjia, who lost his soul in the Pyramid of Tulukhan. If anyone really should be lying in the well, it should be Tengjia?
As soon as his thoughts turned to this point, the person lying down really turned into Tengjia, still wearing that strange golden cylinder all over his body, lying quietly with his eyes closed.
My mind was a little confused. Is it Tengjia or Guan Baoling? They are also missing, but Guan Baoling's disappearance is even more strange and unpredictable. Just as I was thinking about it, the blisters disappeared. After losing the power to support upwards, Tengjia's body slowly moved towards
