Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver
Chapter 18
This is a guild hall that can accommodate three hundred people dining at the same time. Although there are many large windows, they are covered with thick black curtains. Even if the lights are bright, the interior still looks very dim. The decoration and design of the venue are consistent with the era. They are basically made of special cedar wood and fir boards, and metal materials are rarely used. There are celadon vases every ten meters around, with burning spices inside, which are supposed to refresh the mind. However, all the male guests in this large room are smoking, which makes people drowsy.
After passing the letter test, the woman and I got two numbers respectively and were arranged to sit in the east corner. There were no tables and chairs in the center of the venue, but a strange wooden sculpture. It was supposed to be a big tree, and its branches were covered with male heads with thick hair and beards. Behind the giant wooden sculpture, there is a two-story-high gong, and beside it stands a strong man wearing a black hood of an executioner.
I saw everyone who was invited take out a pendant from their arms and wrap it around their fingers. Then they stepped forward and paid homage. I also planned to follow the crowd, but before they could stand up, they were held down by a woman. I had to look at them. She raised her water glass and smiled awkwardly
"Don't raise the water glass indiscriminately. It is the etiquette of greeting people around you. You must say something when you raise it. I really don't know how barbaric the so-called future world you call it will degenerate to."She still smiled weirdly, and that look was telling me that she was not angry with me, a person of unknown origin, but that she couldn't accept that it was Madeleine who deceived her.
In the impression that my father was anything but The handsome guy is not only short but also slovenly. He smells of cigarette smoke. He is usually taciturn. He should not be attractive, nor does he have the capital to get involved in sex. How could a man like that be attracted to women? I thought I was old Mom is already an alien, who would have expected that there is another one here.
What kind of person is Madeleine? As a parent, compared to others, I may be the one who knows the least about him. I suddenly had the urge to take a peek. I looked around to see if there was anyone looking at me, maybe I could ask something from other people's mouths. However, when I turned my face, I bumped into the eyes of this woman named Li En.
Looking at her, I couldn't help but feel in a trance. What's going on under the waterfall? Is that female corpse her? Most of the blue female ghost's body was soaked in liquid mud, and her whole body was broken into pieces like squid slices. She was completely unrecognizable and could not be compared with a living person. Don't mess around for a long time. She was actually a tool in the nightmare, and the body in the end was not hers. Thinking about it, I moved forward
"Can we talk?"Taking out the Blue Gaul, I lit a cigarette for myself and asked:"Anyway, I'm waiting for the opening. There are people talking loudly all around, and no one is paying attention. I need to check with you to avoid making a joke like raising a water glass again.."
So, a non-existent person and a long-dead person began to whisper in the corner of the venue full of cult atmosphere. Based on the fact that it is difficult for her to understand the theory of time and space lines, I can only wholesale it from Fan Pang. The concept will give her some enlightenment. The first thing that needs to be clarified is that after getting the so-called gold leaf feather coat, will she go back to the 0514 warehouse to commit crimes as I thought? What did she want to do when she broke into the sun? Is the person she is following A giant vomiting woman?
Leeann.Forest was always wary of me and naturally refused to reveal even a single word of her action plan. But when I asked why she hadn’t taken action after two years of delay, she couldn’t help but be stunned. And from her one-sided description , what happened in 1972 never happened, and she didn’t know that the target room number was 0514. She planned to move into the building and gradually find traces through their special black narcissus magic.
"I can no longer prove myself by what I did when I broke into the ancient Yin Mansion of Lu Ku. The trembling of the gold return line means that I have been targeted. Listen Leeann, what hasn't happened yet to you is history to me. I can't afford to waste time. Thanks to you guys, a very important person is currently trapped in the heart of that Lichen Falls. I rubbed my face, sighed, and said,"You and I have been together for an hour and a half, and you should have noticed that I have a rather impatient temper and cannot imitate Madeleine's leisurely manner." If you don't talk about the key part now, what's the point of dragging me into this nightmare?"
"You and I both know very well that we don’t know each other at all, so why do you want to help me?"As a result, I talked for a long time, but she didn't listen to a word. Instead, she replied and asked:"Who is this person? Why is it so important? Are you also a ladder party?"
"No, she is just an ordinary female TV news anchor and has nothing to do with it. She shouldn't even be doing this interview. She should still be in elementary school now. If you also have the magical powers of the Children of the World, go ahead and check it out to see if it is true. I had no choice but to briefly describe to her the ins and outs of how I got involved in this turmoil, and said,"At least let me try it once. Even if it's not for you, I'm doing it for her.""
This woman was sitting stiffly like a clay sculpture. She had no expression, and she didn't ask questions like ordinary people. She didn't say a word. Not only did I feel weird, I stretched out my hand to touch her lightly. As a result, this woman was as cold as a bone and as hard as pig iron. There was no pulse.
Just at this time, there was a noise in the center of the venue. The man dressed as an executioner sounded the gong. People around him stopped talking and stood up collectively. I had to hold her arm and stand in an extremely twisted posture. Exit.
After the gong was removed, a grandfather clock was revealed behind it. I finally figured out the time. This night banquet took place at six o'clock in the evening on March 15th. In other words, in another twenty-four hours, Madeleine will I returned to Lyon and officially met Sophie.
The whole venue was silent, everyone was looking at the wood carvings, as if waiting for someone important to come on stage. I supported Leeann who was stiff, sweating profusely from exhaustion, thinking what to do Isn't it over yet? How long do I have to stand up? As I was looking around, I noticed a figure in the distance. Although I had never seen it before, it was the only person I knew. This silly girl was actually little Farouk. A plain-looking female receptionist stands side by side
"Eh? Why is this scene so similar? Yes, yes."I was startled, and suddenly I couldn't feel the weight in my hands. I couldn't help but look at the two figures from the back carefully. They had appeared in a certain photo. It was Miss Lukugu who picked up the male corpse from the mercury heart-petal grass. It was found in the throat. At that time, it was judged that it was at the reception desk of a certain hotel. Unexpectedly, this ghost place was Wulongya Island. In other words, she had been living here since Christmas, and she was with the person named Liao Li or The Oriental people who surround Li are friends
"Ah, I was distracted just now."Just when I was planning to look for an opportunity to get closer to them for identification, the woman in my arms came to life. She secretly squeezed my palm and smiled:"You are indeed a flying bird, there is no need for any more testing."
About half a minute later, several people came up in front of the wooden sculpture and began to read the manuscript, and everyone slowly sat down. As soon as their buttocks fell down on the chair, I asked her why she was so silent as if she was dead just now? What kind of magic is this? What happened to the woman? She grinned and said she had gone to check.
It turned out that the so-called Black Narcissus was actually a low-end version of the Flag Mirror Master. This kind of person also knew how to transfer souls and was enlightened. Not only that, she could also be like an iron Blich's rams can read minds to some extent, but in very different ways. I first thought that she couldn't figure out the profound theories about time and space lines, but I actually looked down on her. In the bathroom, the womanIn order to confirm whether this body is Madeleine, it has actually been used once. This type of person can dig out clues in other people's memory fragments through out-of-body experiences, which is called"matching discs", and then exchange information with Black Narcissus of the same physique in the void, without leaking any trace.
She has already distributed the information about warehouse 0514 and Sister Di that I mentioned, so that the people who will come to meet us can confirm it first. At the same time, he told me that the gadfly who was actually sent to assist her in the theft was transferred and is currently lying on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The murderer of this poor thing should be me!
I didn't know how much harm this would bring to the former Madeleine, and I began to regret that I had said everything I knew. If this makes my father embark on the road of escape, then I will disappear like the foam in the sea. However, this woman noticed that I was feeling uneasy and suddenly asked:
"The extremely important anchor you mentioned is probably named Li En. So do you love her?"
"Love, but this is not the love between men and women. She can comfort the missing part of my heart. Maybe it is pretentious, maybe it is my wishful thinking, but I prefer to believe that she comes from the heart. She doesn't have that name."I waved my hand at her and said:"But if this is the case, Madeleine is killed, and I don't want this result. After all, he carries the great responsibility of bringing me into this world."
"So it's like a string of rings, one link is connected to the other, and it's hard to let go, right? I'd better call you Madeleine. Don't tell me your name. The future is still very long. You may be an enemy or a friend. But I personally will not hurt you, because I fell in love with your father, even if he deliberately wants to destroy me. She patted me on the shoulder like an elder and sighed:"It's a pity that after you wake up from the dream, you will forget everything and become a stranger to the news anchor." Just because you are an incomplete bird of prey"
"In fact, I still don’t understand what Xiaoprey is. It was speculated by others. It is said that all the people who appear are women?"
"Yes, all the birds of prey in the past were women, and there have never been men. As for what it is? You can understand it as a cheating device in a certain dimension."The woman asked me to clear my mind, not to use the gold return thread casually, and to tell the truth.
If the dimension is interpreted as a sophisticated computer, then Xiaoying is a loophole backdoor. How did it come from? How did it occur naturally? No one knows, Perhaps even the Creator has no answer. Powerful monsters such as the Shining and the Henghuang can at best peer into the entire space-time line and know all the results in advance, but they cannot change the theory of universe constancy, that is, go back to the past and revise it through magic. But Xiaoying can do it. She will use the wavelength of other people's dreams to move back and forth at will, and use her own consciousness to modify the indestructible barriers. What's even more amazing is that she can also change in the process. The ending even extracts items, so the three heroic beasts that have appeared in history are basically wealthy ladies.
Therefore, if the heroic beasts really exist in this world, they will be recruited by the dark world, the pan world and the extremely dark world with huge sums of money. , becoming a hot figure; at the same time, he may also bear the brunt of the political game and become the first target of elimination. After all, everyone and every organization have their own secrets, and they will not allow thieves to come and go at will in their own back garden.
"From now on, don't be complacent and say that you are a flying bird when you meet others. That is not something to be proud of, and will cause you to lose your head. It's a pity that the little bird has no freedom since birth. It is either locked in a cage by others or shot down as a flying target, without any personal space. The woman held her cheek and laughed at herself:"Compared to you, I am glad that I am just a black narcissus. Although it is several levels behind, I am more secure. After all, there are still many black narcissus in the world.""
"Although the reality is cruel, I think that I will eventually find a deserted land for my little bird to stay and preen its feathers."
As the barrier was broken, Leeann's tense face gradually relaxed. She asked me to tell me about my encounter with the giant vomiting woman on a rainy night. During this period, I tried my best to communicate through writing, as if I was worried that I would be invisible. My eyes detected it. I knew this was important to him, so I hesitated on purpose, hoping that she could shift her strategic focus back to how to break the sludge pool. Seeing me like this, she didn't ask further questions, only saying that if it was important information , it is not suitable to talk here. She and I must go to places where there is coal ash before we can continue. From Leeann's face, I saw the word fear. No matter she is twenty or thirty years old, she will subconsciously Shown in small gestures. From time to time, this woman will smile with her teeth and blow smoke rings in your face, so it may be both a kind of pride and her unique emotional release.
"You look a little scared, is it because of the Jadeite?"I glanced at the main table. It was still empty. The chef was walking around the table and calling a group of waiters to start serving dishes. So I asked:"Are you worried that he disguised himself as a guest and got in among the crowd?"
"Be careful with this question you ask."She didn't answer, staring at me with two big green eyes.
"Your acting skills are good. Cong sat down and you never glanced at that corner once. It seemed that not having anyone sitting there made you more uneasy than having someone sitting there. I had heard something about him, and it was said that he was a man who could not be photographed on film. According to the prevailing laws of the dark world, your plan to steal his private collection is tantamount to sending a signal for war. You should know these reasons better than me. Well, since you are the kind of person who is determined to act recklessly, you naturally have a life and death consciousness. No matter how blind I am, I can still tell the difference between a woman who is clearly scared but pretends not to be."
"How much do you really know about the word fear?"She gradually put away the extra expression on her face and asked
"The reason I'm here is to assist you. And you still retain a lot that you don’t want me to know. In fact, I have been holding back a lot of questions since I received the inspection letter. As long as those people are not blind, they all know that two of the four people standing are always fake. But this kind of thing that can be clarified with just a few clicks of a finger is driven away by the couple in a bureaucratic manner. At that time, it was like I was playing a game. I made a bad move at the beginning, which was supposed to be unsustainable, but in the end nothing happened. You then forbade me from worshiping the wood carvings and scolded me for raising water glasses. On the surface, you didn't want me to make a fool of myself, but in fact, you were worried that others would notice you because we were chatting for a long time. I think you are very familiar with this place, and you don't observe the terrain and prepare routes like ordinary robbers. I just want to tell you that I can help you. Since you are betting big on uncertainty, why not bet more on me."
For more than ten minutes after this, Leeann didn't say a word. Taking advantage of this silence, I pretended to go to the other end of the venue to wash my hands, intending to take a close look at the Austrian girl. It turned out to be Farooqs, wearing a A white school uniform suit, exactly the same as in the old photo. As for the female receptionist, I also saw her name tag clearly, which started with the letter R. As I thought about it, I fumbled for pen and paper in my pocket, planning to copy it down to avoid future mistakes. Forgotten. Finally, I came across a round object, which was velvet. All the things I carried on my body in front of the mud pool, including lighters and note pads, were all brought into this nightmare. I couldn't help being surprised, and turned around to scan the woman At first glance, I saw that she was watching the waiter divide the plates with dull eyes, looking thoughtful. After returning to the seat, Leeann pushed me and asked why I said those words to her just now. Was she secretly doing research on the gold rebate line? I She only knew that ECG could be used to replace conversations, but she didn't know that it had other effects, so she shook her head. Naturally, the woman didn't want to believe it, and said that no matter whether she had used it or not, don't do it again, it would make Jade Flower investigate immediately. Because he was not human at all.
Seeing me nodding without thinking, she was worried about duplicity and finally decided to share some advice to prevent me from thinking too much about it. The gold leaf feather coat she wanted to steal was named Fulinsha. The name of the princess of the princely state in the southern highlands of the Hindu Kush Mountains in India. This thing looks like it is made of gold and silver, but it is not a precious metal, but collected from an insect called the ground bug.
The living habits of the ground bug Strangely, they prey on insects that are similar in size to themselves. Usually one insect is enough for them to eat for a whole year. For fear of being snatched by other species of the same kind, the stink bugs will produce a gel-like secretion in their bodies and hold the food insect corpses on their heads. After walking and accumulating over time, they will eventually form into dung-colored armored hard balls. Local people collect and collect them to a certain number, boil them in the blood of swallows, and extract a highly malleable metalloid from them.
