"General Inspector...Mr. Josh Leilo." Henry muttered a name.
Next to him, Victor looked at the two of them, curious as to why the eunuch agent Weeden was not with them.
"We have to rush to Dandelion before the 24th. Today is the night of the 22nd, so we have to leave now." After Henry finished speaking, he looked at Victor, "If you want to inherit the family's property, you'd better come with us.
Go see Mr. Thomas and talk to him."
Traveling at night is very dangerous. There is no train station in Valding, so you usually need to contact your convoy in advance.
Victor thought about it and thought that there was a high probability that Weeden was making things difficult for Henry, and that he himself might have followed the escort car during the day.
Just when Victor wanted to expose the other party, he suddenly became uneasy.
He had an eerie premonition that was hard to describe, as if a finger was fiddling with or provoking his thoughts, making Victor do something urgently.
Two seconds later, Victor finally figured out what this feeling was about. To use a common saying in his hometown to describe it, that is, "Don't panic, let me figure it out!"
So, Victor touched his non-existent beard, raised his right hand, and began to calculate his fortune according to the current time, sun and moon.
The moon starts from the top of the yin, the sun starts from the moon, and the time starts from the sun...
Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao...
Victor muttered something in his mouth, looking exactly like a stickman from his previous life.
This scene left the people nearby dumbfounded. No one had ever seen this kind of thumb pointing at the knuckles. Even Downey, who had witnessed aboriginal sacrifices, didn't know what he was doing.
After several rounds of reincarnations, Victor's thumb touched the knuckle of the hexagram "empty death".
"Empty?"
He frowned and thought silently:
Things that are empty and dead will not last long, Yin people are in Hinayana, it is useless to seek wealth, and there will be disaster for travelers!
"This is a sign of great danger!"
……
This fortune-telling with fingers is obviously incompatible with the world we live in now, but it does not affect the conclusion of a hexagram.
Victor continued to pull on his empty beard, sighing and shaking his head like an old man reading his horoscopes on the roadside.
The other four people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what the hell he was doing, and they looked like they were mentally retarded.
"What are you doing?" Henry looked at Victor up and down, feeling as if he didn't recognize him.
Victor was still immersed in the hexagram. Downey clapped his hands and said as if he was very discerning: "This guy must have been knocked unconscious. His fingers are twitching. It's a pity that there is no private clinic in Valding town."
."
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor suddenly raised his head and said to Henry: "No! We can't leave now."
Travelers are in danger of disaster! It indicates that there will definitely be danger when setting off now. This is the conclusion of the hexagram.
However, Henry did not understand the basis of Victor's calculation. After thinking for a while, he said: "Are you afraid of encountering trouble on the road?"
Victor had an idea and followed his words and replied: "Yes, wolves, Indian lions, and bears outside the wilderness will all be fatal dangers."
Henry lit a cigarette for himself: "Based on the distance traveled, even if we set out during the day, we will have to spend the night. When this happens, we usually set up a bonfire in a wide area to rest, and the two of us take turns keeping watch. We just came to Mi
When we were in Sule Prefecture, we stayed in the wilderness like this for a few days. Wild animals did not dare to approach when they saw the light of fire. It was enough for two people to look after each other and watch out."
"There are traders in Walding Town. If they need to sleep outdoors during the trip, they will go with them in advance. We can go with them during the day. Each vehicle has a gun-wielding escort, so even if we encounter horse bandits, we will be able to resist."
Victor is still trying to persuade Henry.
Henry thought about it for a while and felt that what the other party said made sense, but the two interns from the Inspection Bureau who came to convey the instructions were not so happy.
"Instructions from the Chief Inspector, Agent Henry!"
Henry frowned, glanced at the darkening night, and said to the two of them: "Mr. Victor is right, there is a certain danger in traveling at night. I don't understand what Mr. Thomas means, but the meeting with him,
The presence of a regular investigator is not necessary."
After hearing this, the two people understood that Henry was not going to travel overnight, and they suddenly became a little anxious: "Henry Vidal, for what purpose did you want to disobey the chief inspector's order?"
When the other party was angry, in Henry's eyes, his true nature was revealed, and his face instantly became cold, and he replied: "What's wrong? Are you afraid that Agent Weeden will blame you for not completing the mission? I'm not an idiot, this kind of meeting
, what can small staff like him and me do? I guess Chief Inspector Josh’s order was not so harsh. It was Weeden who added fuel to the fire without permission, just to make me sick. Are you right?"
After being discovered by Henry, the two trainee detectives reacted and were extremely embarrassed.
"Henry Vidal! Don't expect us to put in a good word for your tardiness in front of the General Inspector. Goodbye!"
No longer able to disguise themselves, the two of them whipped up their horses and quickly ran towards the gravel road.
Henry raised his eyebrows, smiled at Victor and Donnie, and then the three of them rode towards Walding Town.
Along the way, Victor was still thinking about the previous hexagram.
Although this was his first time fortune-telling, he always felt that the knowledge he gained in the mysterious dimension was by no means a trick to deceive others.
……
Back at Walding Station, Donnie said goodbye and went to the police station, while Victor ran to the boiler room to boil hot water and prepare to wash his body.
He fell into a deep pit before and was very dirty.
"No clothes to change, damn..."
As he said that, he looked at Henry expectantly.
Henry was sitting in front of the counter, glanced at him, and said only one sentence: "3 farka and 2 farthing, this is what you owed me last time."
Victor's face twitched and he said with a smile: "I will definitely do it again next time..."
Henry sighed and told him that he had clean men's clothes there, and he could temporarily change into Victor's clothes after he finished washing them.
"This set of clothes is worth 7 farka and 86 farfen. Counting what you owed me before, the total is 10 farka and 88 farfen. And don't forget, you have to pay me back double, which is 21 farka and 76 farfen." Victor felt his energy and blood rising, and the price was just a piece of cake for him now.
"Next time I will definitely...next time I will definitely..."
Victor smiled awkwardly and carried the boiled hot water upstairs.
Lying in the bathtub, Victor closed his eyes comfortably and began to enjoy this quiet time, which inevitably made him miss the dreamy days of lying down on the balcony.
However, the peaceful time is always short-lived. There was a knock on his door, and Henry's voice came in from outside again.
"By the way! Today's rent and water bill are 17 French cents! You will pay me back 21 French cents and 93 French cents!"
Victor almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He sat up from the bathtub, and his good mood disappeared instantly.
Just when he was about to say a few words to Henry outside the door, his eyes suddenly flickered, and the scenes and objects in front of him suddenly appeared in serious double images!
The bed, the door frame, the poor paintings on the wall, and the old wooden chairs next to them overlapped with different objects from another world. The originally dead objects turned into various crawling and disgusting flesh limbs, and dead things interacted with living things.
Stacks, constantly changing in front of Victor’s eyes.
He felt as if he was in the disgusting intestines and stomach of some kind of creature. The walls turned into tissue like flesh walls, and they were squirming everywhere. If he blinked his eyes, they would return to normal, and if he blinked again, these disgusting body tissues would appear again. Victor suddenly realized something and looked at his hands.
The originally unremarkable human limbs have turned into soft tissue like slugs, extremely permeable!
