Chapter 1,207 The moon is dark and the wind is high
dark night.
White bricks and red walls intersect. A golden and green sycamore tree is planted on the right side of the alley. There are some idle tables, chairs and benches under the sycamore tree. But because it is already evening, people gather here to play cards during the day.
The people in the crowd had already dispersed, and the orange-yellow street lights tilted the tables, chairs, and miscellaneous items onto the ground, adding to the coolness of the late night.
Lin Young breathed out softly, and a faint white mist appeared under the warm yellow street lamp.
It has just begun autumn, and the temperature has suddenly turned lower following yesterday's continuous rain. "There is rain before and after autumn, and there is wind before and after white dew." The old people say that if it is sunny at the beginning of autumn, the last autumn will be ushered in until the middle of the year.
, if it rains, it means it is autumn, there will be more rain throughout the Beginning of Autumn, and the temperature will also drop.
The current real-time outdoor temperature is 13 degrees Celsius. The sudden drop in temperature caused by the rain has caused many old men in BJ to put on thick coats in advance, put their hands in their sleeves, and only slightly squinted cloudy eyes could be seen looking at their necks.
The autumn leaves on the trees have gradually turned yellow.
But tonight, Lin Nian's clothes were not thick, but rather thin. A pure black polyester T-shirt with a dark green print, and his pants were changed from versatile jeans to mixed fiber casual pants, which are loose, quick-drying and breathable, even if
You can stay comfortable and dry during strenuous exercise. The shoes have not changed much. They are still sports shoes, but they have been changed from the usual white to black. The material is still "silicon nitride" that can provide super elasticity and energy rebound.
The surface has a fire-retardant coating to prevent fire and combustion during severe friction.
He did not carry any electronic devices, including mobile phones, and the black watch on his wrist was replaced by an Omega mechanical watch. It was a very simple suit that did not look outstanding, but Lin Nian was dressed like this.
Whenever you meet people who know him and are familiar with him on the street, they will turn around and leave without hesitation. Only those among them will understand the reason.
Lin Nian walked slowly from the deserted, quiet, street-lit road to the right side of the plane tree at the entrance of the alley, pulled up a low bench and sat down, leaning on his thighs with his hands and bending forward slightly.
On his wrist, the tiny parts in the mechanical watch are constantly rubbing during the operation of the movement, and the rustling sound they make is particularly clear in the quiet streets of the old alleys. The second hand on the dial moves one by one, causing the minute and hour hands to start to shake.
Until the last moment, the three hands took one step at the same time.
The moment before the hands moved, the pair of dim pupils under the dim shade of the trees lowered their heads and looked at the mechanical watch on their wrists.
There is no "click" sound as imagined, only a dull "click" sound.
All street lights on the entire street went out instantly.
The warm yellow light was swept away by the darkness. Although the dim light was extinguished in an instant, the remnants of the retina seemed to darken little by little, as if ink dripped into the center of the rice paper, moving slowly but unusually quickly to the surroundings.
Devour.
In the darkness, a scorching red light lifted from the mechanical watch, and the afterglow illuminated Lin Nian's indifferent face.
September 9, 2011, 2:00.
During the ugly time, everything is silent, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Not only the street lights, but also the power supply in the entire block was shut down. Some people tried to call the power bureau to check the fault, but they found that they were reminded by artificial voice that they were not in the service area, which meant that the signal base stations in this large area were also completely shut down.
.But this did not cause panic, because the night was too late, countless people had fallen asleep, and most people did not even notice this abnormal phenomenon at all.
Everything is the same as what was discussed earlier. The whole plan is like a Swiss watch movement, precise and complex.
Walking in the old alley with burning red eyes, only a tiny bit of faint light from the sky is needed, and the golden eyes are enough to see through everything in the darkness.
Lin Nian was no stranger to this place. Entering from the old alley was the large courtyard. He lowered his head and crossed the threshold of the red door, avoiding the garbage piles. He passed through the twists and turns of the alley and finally picked along the ginkgo tree.
Walking straight through the red wall, you can repeat the path you took last time just by relying on your memory.
The maple leaves protruding from the branches in the red wall fell towards his shoulders in the night wind. It was only a centimeter away from touching his clothes, but the next moment the figure had disappeared from the spot and appeared several meters away.
Lin Nian stepped on the fallen leaves and fruits of the ginkgo tree but strangely did not make any sound. He silently counted every step he took until he stopped after counting to the agreed number. The one on his right was not in the courtyard.
The gate is still a long red wall, and this is indeed his destination.
Lin Nian took out a metal strip that looked like a pencil from his trouser pocket. He fiddled with the metal strip to find the head and tail. Following the instructions of the person who gave him the thing, he pressed the button hidden on the head for three seconds.
Then he threw it into the yard inside the red wall. After waiting for five seconds, Lin Nian felt a directionless and invisible "net" passing by him, and his red golden eyes suddenly burned.
Yan Ling·Time Zero.
The huge domain expanded rapidly. With the expansion of the domain, Lin Nian took three steps forward and jumped to an extreme height of more than three meters. He stepped on the cornice of the red wall and jumped forward again, stepping gently on the ground.
The dark eaves of the houses in the upper courtyard.
Like an ancient snitch, Lin Nian ran quickly on the roof of the huge courtyard. Standing on a high place, he could clearly see the layout of the entire building complex behind the red wall. It was like a small Forbidden City, with countless courtyards connected.
The roads are pieced together to form an entire community of courtyard houses. It is difficult for others to imagine what kind of groups live in such a community of courtyard houses.
He stopped at the highest point of the courtyard complex, stepped on the eaves with one foot, and looked around. In the dark moonless night, under the operation of "time zero", everything was covered in the thick black curtain, and he seemed to be escaping.
The ghost that entered the dark side of the world disappeared without being noticed by anyone and turned into black smoke.
Before coming, the layout of this place had been deeply memorized in Lin Nian's mind. On the roof, he ignored the complex terrain of the courtyard and hurried much faster. The characteristics of the field meant that his high-speed movement would not cause any damage.
The violent turmoil wiped out even the sound of footsteps. Even the top thief in ancient times bowed in admiration at this scene. The Nine-Dragon Cup, which perhaps even the Saint Thief could not steal, was just in his hand.
While rushing on the road, the state of solidified violent blood was blessing Lin Nian's body anytime and anywhere. In the peripheral vision of his scorching red golden eyes, there was a cold gaze like an undercurrent of ice. It was like a storm of blades passing by, which was cold to the core.
With his will to kill, anything that stands in his way will be cut into pieces and erased.
Following the route memorized in his mind, Lin Nian quietly jumped over most of the courtyard complex, and finally stopped at the cornice of a roof in a half-crouching posture. The black clothes from head to toe effectively hid him in the courtyard.
In dark.
In the darkness, he slowly stood up straight, and his burning red eyes glanced at the small inner courtyard of the courtyard at his feet.
There is no stunning layout and furnishings. The only thing worth taking a second look is probably a beautiful osmanthus tree planted in the center of the inner courtyard, with simple stone chairs and benches placed under the tree.
It matches the layout she mentioned. If there is no second place like this in the entire courtyard complex, then he must have found the right place.
Lin Nian checked the mechanical watch on his wrist. He did not forgive the acceleration of this dead thing in the field, so the watch was still moving at the normal time flow rate. From the time he released the field to now, the normal time has not moved.
About 3 seconds.
Until now, he has penetrated into the deepest part of this "Dragon and Phoenix Garden" and has not encountered the dragnet he imagined. The orthodox defense seems to be nothing more than that, or perhaps this place is not an important place at all, so the defense is not as tight as imagined.
?
Although Li Huoyue mentioned that he is likely to encounter some very difficult enemies in this operation, monsters that can make even the super hybrid "Moon" feel afraid, but so far he has not found any
The gaze that catches one's own traces.
So far everything has been going smoothly according to the plan. Although Lin Nian knew that it was unlucky to say this in his mind, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of accident would happen while he was maintaining time zero.
No, in fact, accidents may still happen, that is, he made a big mistake tonight and saved the wrong person, and his trip was in vain.
Because before coming here, Lin Nian had no idea who his target was this time.
Li Huoyue, who gave him this task, kept it secret until the end, only telling him that when he saw the person he wanted to save, he knew that was the person he was looking for.
Lin Nian expressed his dissatisfaction with this, but the other party insisted on it. In the end, he did not know what the other party was insisting on, and finally chose to compromise.
Lin Nian jumped off the roof and landed firmly in the inner courtyard. This courtyard is a traditional courtyard with the word "kou". The door is located in the southeast corner. It has the traditional main room, side rooms, side rooms, reverse rooms, and entrance.
The shadow wall is not big, so many things can be seen at a glance.
There are no ambushes, no enemies.
Looking around, the corridor surrounding the entire inner courtyard was pitch dark. There were no lights or sounds in the guest bedrooms and the kitchen on the left and right. "Time Zero" was still in effect, so everything he saw looked like the pause button had been pressed. Osmanthus fragrans
The remaining leaves of the tree also stopped in mid-air.
Lin Nian walked quickly through the inner courtyard and walked to the door of the middle hall. To the left was the study room and the guest bedroom, and to the right was the tea room and the master bedroom. He walked straight to the right and walked to the door of the master bedroom. He pushed it gently and opened the door.
It was not locked and opened silently.
The master bedroom has the simplest layout, a very simple table and chair display, a round dressing mirror in the corner, no calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the bed is placed in the corner.
But the bed is empty.
No, to be precise, it should be empty now. The quilt has been half lifted, and the wrinkles on the sheet mean that someone slept here not long before Lin Nian.
Lin Nian's face was expressionless. The accident did happen, but he never thought it would happen in this form.
There are no people left.
Did the news leak out, or was it a simple accident? If it was an accident, then where was the person he was looking for?
He thought silently for a moment and took the initiative to cancel "Time Zero".
During the release of "Time Zero", all sounds will be prolonged, which also causes some small sounds to be subconsciously ignored by Lin Nian. However, after the domain is released, the flow rate of all sounds tends to normal, and his solid-state blood burst
The powerful hearing brought by it is enough to capture the extremely small movements in this small courtyard.
For example, the sound of human breathing.
Lin Nian closed his eyes, then turned his head slightly, and looked in one direction when he opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to penetrate the blocking wall in front of him, and fell on the "person" he had locked onto. There was no Kama Itachi, but he
His hearing was several times better than that of Caesar, and even if he suspended his heartbeat by feigning death, he could not escape his awareness.
He calmed down his hands and feet, lowered his golden eyes, exited the master bedroom along the same route, walked along the corridor step by step through the central hall, and came to the source of the sound, in front of the study door on the left.
A steady sound of breathing and a heartbeat were undoubtedly coming from inside the door. Judging from the heartbeat speed and breathing frequency, this person should be asleep. But why didn't he sleep in the master bedroom instead?
Go to bed in the study?
Lin Nian Nian gently opened the door of the study room and saw the man sleeping soundly on the papers in front of the bookshelf. Sure enough, the first time he saw this man, Lin Nian understood why Li Hueyue was so sure that he would be in Lin Nian's house.
When you see this person after entering the courtyard, you will know that this is his goal.
Zhao Yanman.
Li Hueyue’s mother?
On the document, next to Zhao Zianman's lying hand, a photo frame was pressed on the table while she was sleeping. With the power of night vision, Lin Nian could see clearly that there was a wedding photo inside.
Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree under the nice weather, the groom is very handsome and the bride is very beautiful. The dragon and phoenix gown represent that this is a traditional Chinese wedding, with phoenix crown and harem, ten miles of red makeup, and three bows to get married.
Lin Nian knew the bride in the photo, but the groom was a stranger to him.
While Lin Nian's thoughts were swirling, Zhao Yanman's breathing rate suddenly changed on the table, and the fingers holding the photo frame also trembled slightly.
One hand was already placed on the back of her head and shoulders.
The person behind her said calmly, "Don't move or scream, if you don't want to die."
Death threats are the most effective method of controlling hostages.
But the next moment, Lin Nian, who had indifferent eyes, was slightly startled.
Zhao Zianman, who was on the document, opened his eyes, and a line of tears fell from his pale golden pupils.
It wasn't because of the threat, because Lin Nian couldn't see any panic there, but instead saw a mist-like confusion.
It seemed like she was having a nightmare.
It must have been a very long dream, so long that I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or something that happened in the past.
In the dream, there seemed to be a man and woman who devoted themselves to love. For the sake of love, they had threatened and grieved, saying that they would go to a faraway place together and never come back.
But now she woke up from her dream. In a daze, she noticed the person behind her and called out a man's name in a voice that was almost whispering.
"Whoever this person you are talking about is not me."
Lin Nian said slowly, "Zhao Zianman, right? I'm Li Hueyue's friend, and I'm here to take you out of here."
