Chapter 164 A hundred years ago [21] Forerunners, new humans
The sound of the plastic sheet being lifted is unique, especially harsh in the quiet night.
Jiang Ke bent down and walked out, then stood up straight. The moonlight fell on him like water, shining on his brows and shattering the stars in the sky in his dark eyes.
He raised his hand and the flashlight light came over and landed at their feet.
His dark eyes moved slightly: "He also has a little tail."
"Mr. Jiang." Goblin smiled dryly at him.
"Come down."
Jiang Ke moved his wrist, and the beam of the flashlight fell on the path at their feet.
Mo Qing was the first to go down.
Goblin followed closely behind.
It had just stopped raining for a day and the mud was still wet. When you step on it, the soles of your shoes will inevitably get muddy.
"This is where Yin Lin lives?"
After approaching, Goblin looked around with a strange expression.
Mo Qing: "Yeah."
Goblin sighed: "Then his physical fitness is too good."
Even he expressed such emotion.
Jiang Ke and Mo Qing couldn't help but look at each other.
"A good body needs a good environment." Goblin just thought they were questioning and explained, "I have seen some homeless people with yellow faces and thin muscles, like bamboo poles, and they will fall over when the wind blows. Yin Lin is just a little dirty.
, be a little crazy, I thought the place where he lived was pretty good."
Jiang Ke did not respond, only said: "Come in first."
Goblin touched the tip of his nose angrily.
He looked at Mo Qing.
Mo Qing walked forward first and followed Jiang Ke into the wooden house.
Goblin then came to the opening, glanced inside, and found that as soon as the two entered, the originally cramped space became even narrower, which was a bit suffocating.
"Can we sit inside?" Goblin asked.
"Hardly." Mo Qing looked back at him.
Goblin knew what was going on: "Then I'll stay outside."
Anyway, he followed Mo Qing by the way.
He didn't even know what Mo Qing was doing here, let alone why Jiang Ke appeared here in the middle of the night.
After he finished speaking, he sat down on a barrier at the door.
Mo Qing and Jiang Ke glanced at each other but did not ask him to come in.
"What story does the graffiti tell?" Mo Qing crossed his legs, sat on a small bench, and asked straight to the point.
After the rain, the wooden house was almost soaked with water. The wooden boards exuded a musty smell, and there were also some peculiar smells mixed in. It was even more unpleasant than the last time I came here.
In fact, it would be better to stay at the door of the cabin like Goblin.
Jiang Ke didn't say anything. He took out a notebook from his pocket, placed it on the table, opened two pages, and pushed it in front of Mo Qing.
He said: "Look."
The candlelight was dim, and with the addition of a kerosene lamp, the light was still very dim, so Jiang Ke raised the flashlight and used the beam to illuminate Mo Qing.
Mo Qing picked up the notebook: "Did you draw it?"
"Um."
What is recorded is always more reliable than what is remembered in the brain. Moreover, Jiang Ke is afraid of missing some details, so he can study them carefully in the future.
Mo Qing started browsing the graffiti.
Although Yin Lin's graffiti was crude and messy, Jiang Ke's job as a painter last time was not in vain. He not only copied it, but also filled it in appropriately.
The graffiti's expression suddenly became coherent.
Mo Qing relied on his own understanding and the annotations next to the graffiti to try to connect the meanings expressed by these graffiti.
At first, a group of people broke into Yin Lin's home, detained Yin Lin in a dark room, and interrogated Yin Lin about everything about "Miss Mo".
At that time, he didn't realize anything and couldn't bear the torture, so he told the interrogator all the stories his grandfather told about "Miss Mo".
From his story, the group of people learned that his great-grandfather had painted a portrait of Miss Mo, so they asked him to hand it over.
But the painting had been washed away by water during a flood.
Afterwards, they forced him to describe "Miss Mo's" painting.
At this point, he realized something was wrong.
Because "Miss Mo" was a person from a hundred years ago and must have long since passed away, why do these people want to find out what "Miss Mo" looks like?
So he didn't tell the truth when describing the portrait.
After confessing everything, he was detained for a while.
At that time, he had been tortured to the point of losing consciousness.
Just when he thought he was going to die, the group suddenly injected him with a tube of medicine and then let him go.
After Mo Qing finished reading, he put down his notebook and wondered: "Is this why he became crazy?"
"It should be." Jiang Ke said, "I asked around and found out that he did suddenly become crazy after disappearing for a while. However, he was living alone at that time and no one noticed him."
Mo Qing frowned.
"This group of people is looking for you. What do you think?" Jiang Ke's eyes fell on Mo Qing's face.
"No idea." Mo Qing said disdainfully, "The treasures and techniques I left behind are enough for them to study me for hundreds of years, let alone inquire about my legendary past?"
Jiang Ke: "..." I didn't expect you to be so arrogant.
After a pause, Jiang Ke emphasized: "They are asking about your appearance."
Mo Qing didn't find it strange: "Isn't it normal to look up at my face?"
"..."
Jiang Ke suddenly thought of the "holy object" of the Changsheng Society - the portrait of Mo Qing.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
He was now certain that Mo Qing had no clues at all.
Just a tattoo can lead to an immortality meeting.
What's more, Mo Qing has acupuncture needles, scalpels, miasma removal instruments and other things that can be classified as "supernatural items".
And she deliberately left those prescriptions.
And, her person.
Any thing or item related to her may become a clue for someone to track her down.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ke tapped the table with his fingers and said to Mo Qing, "Turn another page."
Mo Qing raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Jiang Ke looked at the notebook.
So, Mo Qing looked at the notebook again and opened a page.
It's not graffiti, but two lines of writing.
——"Forerunner."
——"They want to turn me into a new human being."
Jiang Ker frowned: "These two lines were said when he was dreaming."
Mo Qing looked at it several times and said with one hand: "Forerunners, new human beings. It's a bit interesting."
She was actually interested.
I don't feel any sense of crisis at all.
But at this time, Goblin, who was looking at the sky boredly outside, suddenly stiffened when he heard the words "Forerunner".
There was another voice coming from inside.
Jiang Ke: "I suspect that Yin Lin's strong body is related to the medicine injected into him."
Mo Qing: "What then?"
Jiang Ke: “I have to ask you.”
Mo Qing: "Me?"
Jiang Ke: "Is there a possibility that they are investigating you because they know you are still alive, and maybe they want to recreate your abilities?"
Mo Qing's voice stopped suddenly.
At this time, Goblin, who had been slow for a while, finally moved.
His neck was stiff, and he slowly twisted it, then stretched out his hand to slam the plastic sheet. When he touched it, he paused, but the next moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly opened the plastic sheet.
The light in the wooden house fell into his eyes, and a candle burned in his eyes.
Mo Qing and Jiang Ke looked over.
Goblin said word for word: "I know the pioneers."
When Leng Buding heard this, both Mo Qing and Jiang Ke were startled.
Goblin's eyes flashed. He stood up and wanted to walk inside, but Mo Qing and Jiang Ke both stood up at the same time and walked straight towards the door.
Seeing this, Goblin took two steps back to avoid getting in the way.
Mo Qing got out of the plastic sheet and glanced at him curiously: "You know?"
Jiang Ke then bent down and came out.
"Yes." Goblin calmed down his emotions, his expression was serious, and he nodded cautiously, "The one who dealt with Captain Chi called himself the 'Forward Walker'."
Jiang Ke, who knew nothing about "Captain Chi", chose to listen without saying a word.
Mo Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there any more?"
Goblin shook his head: "I have said that Captain Chi is very skilled. However, those two 'precursors' can be tied with him. I think it may not be easy."
Unexpectedly, Mo Qing raised his eyebrows with interest.
It's like I discovered something interesting.
Jiang Ke and Goblin stared at her in unison.
——What do you mean by your eagerness to try?
Mo Qing shrugged and said to Jiang Ke, "You may have guessed it right."
Jiang Ke was speechless: "Is it worth being so happy?"
Mo Qing asked back: "We have a clue, aren't you happy?"
"...But what if they capture you and take you back for research?" Goblin reminded.
Mo Qing asked back: "Wouldn't it be better? We don't even have to look for their lair."
Jiang Ke: "..."
Goblin: "..."
If you think about it carefully, it's normal.
There is indeed nothing wrong with a person with extraordinary abilities like Mo Qing saying such arrogant words.
After a pause, Mo Qing glanced at the wooden house: "Let's go back first."
Jiang Ke chose to stay in the wooden house because all the graffiti in the wooden house had been copied by him, and the wooden house had no value anymore.
He went back to the house and put out all the candles and kerosene lamps, then took a flashlight and left with Mo Qing and Goblin.
On the way, the three of them checked in with each other and exchanged information.
then--
The target is pointed directly at Minister Chi.
At this point, the problem is simple.
Mo Qing made the decision: "You should prepare yourself and wait until he comes out next time."
Jiang Ke and Goblin were noncommittal.
*
When we got back to the hotel, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Goblin and Song Yiyuan lived on the third floor, and Goblin took the elevator directly up.
Mo Qing and Jiang Ke took the stairs.
When he reached the door of Mo Qing's room, Jiang Ke suddenly stopped, tilted his head slightly, and called her: "Mo Qing."
Mo Qing took out the room card and turned around: "Is there anything else?"
His eyes lingered on her face for a moment, Jiang Ke said "good night" and then walked away.
Mo Qing was a little confused.
She stared at Jiang Ke's back and saw Jiang Ke entering the room quickly. She raised her eyebrows and opened the door herself and entered the room.
Although the environment of this hotel was very poor, there was hot water available 24 hours a day. Mo Qing took a hot bath and waited until almost four o'clock before going to bed.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
Mo Qing was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk."
It's like a reminder of the soul.
Mo Qing was half asleep and was so irritable that he lifted up the quilt and stepped barefoot on the ground to open the door.
She opened her mouth and said: "Who died?"
"..."
There was silence outside the door.
Mo Qing half-squinted his eyes and glanced around, seeing four people standing outside the door.
From left to right, they are Song Yiyuan, Jiang Ke, crew member Xiao Wu, and... Chu Yangyang's assistant, A Luo.
The one who knocked on the door was Song Yiyuan.
However, the moment the four of them saw her, they became quiet and their expressions changed slightly.
No one could speak.
Mo Qing wore a white shirt.
The hem of the shirt is very long, covering everything that should be covered, but because of this, those exposed parts are inexplicably attractive.
Below are two straight long legs, slender and slender, with beautiful ankles, connected to the two exquisite feet, which can be seen at a glance, and the hem of the clothes attracts people's imagination.
Her collar spread out, revealing her delicate collarbones and long white neck, which were just right and beautiful.
Above, her face is as beautiful as a fairy. The messy hair does not diminish her beauty, but adds a certain amount of lazy beauty.
A sense of déjà vu that is both pure and lustful.
The next second, Jiang Ke's face darkened, and he suddenly strode forward, blocking the opening of the door with his body.
He looked sinister: "Get dressed before you come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Mo Qing inside, then grabbed the door handle and slammed the door shut.
"Bang!"
The sound is huge.
Mo Qing hissed.
Are you sick?
She was about to open the door, but suddenly realized something, paused, and looked down.
After taking a shower last night, she only wore a white shirt for convenience.
It's really not suitable to be stared at.
However, everything that should be covered was covered, and if someone looked at her, she wouldn't lose a piece of flesh, so Mo Qing didn't worry at all.
She turned around, took off a rubber band from her wrist, grabbed her loose hair a few times, and tied it casually behind her head.
After that, she found a pair of denim shorts in her backpack and put them on. She grabbed a piece of the hem of her shirt and tucked it in without doing anything else.
As for shoes, after searching around, she found a pair of canvas shoes and put them on.
…
Five minutes passed.
Mo Qing opened the door again.
This time, except for Jiang Ke, the other three subconsciously tilted their heads and did not dare to look directly at him.
——It’s not that they are particularly conscious.
——But, the moment the door opened, they felt a murderous aura.
Mo Qing immediately met Jiang Ke's eyes.
Faintly, I could detect a bit of anger in Jiang Ke's eyes.
Mo Qing ignored it and asked: "What's the matter?"
"Ahem," Song Yiyuan cleared his throat, "Xiao Wu and Chu Yangyang's assistant, A Luo, they want to come over and thank you for saving Chu Yangyang last night."
"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded hurriedly, "Thank you so much for yesterday. If it weren't for you -"
Xiao Wu slapped his thigh: "The consequences are really unimaginable!"
Compared with Xiao Wu's exaggeration, the assistant named A Luo is obviously much calmer.
A Luo is not too old, he is a boy in his early twenties. He used to be by Chu Yangyang's side as an assistant and bodyguard. He doesn't talk much and only obeys Chu Yangyang's orders.
After Xiao Wu finished talking, A Luo looked at Mo Qing and took out a thick envelope: "This is the reward."
Mo Qing glanced at it but didn't answer: "That's it?"
"..."
One sentence leaves people speechless.
A Luo was a little surprised.
Obviously, he did not expect that Mo Qing would be so shameless.
A Luo made a move but did not take the envelope back: "You make a price and the Chu family will call you."
Mo Qing glanced at Song Yiyuan: "Tell my assistant."
Song Yiyuan accepted the status of "assistant" in one second and took the stack of money: "Just discuss it with me."
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Arrow's cell phone rang.
After he answered, his expression changed drastically: "What do you think happened to Miss Chu?"
