At Lanqiao International Airport in Jinghai City, Yuan Chen was walking quickly after getting off the plane. Ever since he received the call from the mysterious man, Yuan Chen rushed back without stopping.
"You said there is something wrong with your mind?
Don't give up on the great future in country M. If you are determined to return to the country, do you know that as long as you don't leave, the position of director will definitely be yours in the future. Who will you get? Bob, you are still talking to me.
Why do you want to return to the place where the dream began and repay the country's cultivation? Who are you fooling?"
The fat man on the side said angrily as he walked, of course this person is Hao Weida.
As a compatriot and Yuan Chen's best assistant, he will accompany him when he returns to China.
"Believe it or not, I love my motherland so deeply." Yuan Chen replied lazily.
In these years in Country M, in addition to solving cases, Yuan Chen has been secretly collecting information about "It", and everything about "It" has never been mentioned to anyone, so naturally no one will know.
Outside the airport, I saw the car responsible for picking them up.
"I still think there's something wrong with your brain." After getting in the car, Hao Weida was still unyielding.
"You are the only one with brain problems, your whole family has brain problems." Yuan Chen rolled his eyes at him.
"I mean it. Look up and look into my eyes sincerely."
Yuan Chen snorted coldly and had no intention of paying attention to him at all.
He lowered his head, and his broken bangs fell down, but they couldn't cover his piercing eyes. The most eye-catching thing was the row of small rainbow obsidian eyebrow nails on his left eyebrow bone, which shone as brightly as his eyes.
With a sharp light.
After a while, the car arrived at its destination.
This is the office that Yuan Chen had asked someone to find before. It was originally for the convenience of returning to China to handle cases, but unexpectedly it has come in handy now and has become a good place to stay.
Sitting on the chair, Yuan Chen took out a pack of Furong King from his pocket, took out a cigarette, took out his Zippo lighter, flicked the fire wheel to light the cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, feeling free.
Tobacco smoke drifted slowly in the room.
"Hey, don't tell me, I haven't been back for several years. The country has really changed a lot." Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the rows of high-rise buildings in front of him, Hao Weida sighed sincerely.
"Yeah." Yuan Chen sighed softly, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray very hard, and slowly sank into the sofa. His face looked very ugly.
"Hey." Hao Weida turned around, walked to Yuan Chen, lay on his desk, and looked at another plate carefully.
"Something is wrong, something is really wrong. Let me tell you, your brain wasn't really damaged by lightning that time, right?"
Yuan Chen raised his head, hesitated to speak, took out the hand that had been in his pocket for a long time, rubbed his chin, and fell into memories.
It was the summer of the year before last. Yuan Chen and his party met for a picnic in the suburbs. They packed all kinds of equipment and prepared to camp for a night.
I don’t know which bastard came up with the bad idea. The entertainment after dinner turned out to be hide-and-seek, and it was stipulated that the loser had to pay for everyone’s travel expenses back (later, when Yuan Chen recalled it, he always felt that it was Hao Weida who suggested it, even though he was alive
Refuse to acknowledge the debt).
Logically speaking, this is nothing, just come out to play and have fun. But as soon as everyone was almost hidden, there were roaring sounds above their heads, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down.
Yuan Chen, who was lurking in the grass, was soaked in the rain all of a sudden. He couldn't tell whether the snot flowing out of his nose was snot or rain. After thinking for a moment, he made the most wrong decision in his life:
He trotted all the way to the foot of a big tree.
"Huh", with a long sigh of relief, Yuan Chen lifted up his clothes and wiped his eyes with the few dry pieces of cloth on his clothes.
Finally I can relax a little bit.
He didn't dare to go back. Firstly, he didn't want to rush out and get soaked in the cold. On the other hand, more importantly, the game hadn't been canceled yet. If he went back now, he would most likely become the one who spent a lot of money to pay for his sins.
Suffering a big injustice.
Gritting his teeth, Yuan Chen was determined to fight to the end.
Suddenly, he felt a huge sense of numbness rushing through his body, and his eyes were suddenly covered by a white light, and then...
Nothing happened, Yuan Chen woke up again and was lying on a white and clean bed.
"You kid finally woke up, you were so scared."
This voice was particularly familiar, Yuan Chen turned his head, and sure enough, Hao Weida's fat body was sitting beside the bed.
What's wrong with me?
Yuan Chen slowly stood up and saw that everyone was actually there.
When I looked down again, holy shit, I was actually wearing a hospital gown.
Am I in the hospital?
Afterwards, based on the confessions of medical staff and witnesses, Yuan Chen roughly understood what happened:
Under that tree, Yuan Chen was struck by lightning and most likely fainted on the spot.
Everyone who had a great time playing hide-and-seek was surprised to discover that Yuan Chen was missing. By the time they found him, he was already mostly dead.
After several doctors worked hard to rescue him, Yuan Chen finally regained his life after wandering around the gate of hell.
Being struck by lightning and still not dead?
Yuan Chen felt a little unbelievable for a moment, but the doctor's answer seemed very indifferent. It sounded as if it was a normal thing for someone to be struck by lightning in their hospital.
People usually think that the fatality rate of lightning strikes is very high. Even in Country M, about 47 people from Country M are killed by lightning every year.
But in fact, in 90% of cases, the victims will not die. However, they rarely can continue to live unscathed. Lightning strikes usually have some side effects on the body.
In addition, as lightning moves toward the epidermis, it forces red blood cells out of the capillaries and into the epidermis, just like a bruise.
The complex pattern formed by this process is called the "Lichtenberg pattern", so a totem mark similar to the one in "Harry Potter" appeared on Yuan Chen's chest.
As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune later. Although you did not die in this catastrophic disaster, you did not see the good fortune after death. After being struck by lightning, Yuan Chen noticed something strange.
Ever since he was struck by lightning, Yuan Chen would often faint suddenly and inexplicably while solving crimes, and some extremely strange scenes would appear in front of his eyes.
In a panic, Yuan Chen went to several hospitals and scanned his whole body, but couldn't find anything wrong. After collecting a lot of information on the Internet, he finally noticed some clues.
It is said that some humans in the Yang world have the ability to communicate with ghosts in the underworld. They can see the dead souls, and the heavier the Yin energy, the stronger the psychic ability.
Yuan Chen thought about it carefully, and it was true that every time he fainted it was because he touched some objects, and these objects were all photos of the deceased and the relics they left behind. But in retrospect, those pictures were all closely related to the deceased.
