Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

All we could hope for was this option. We had to follow the other party's instructions and arduously go down the mountain. The advantage of having such a local snake is that he is more familiar with the terrain than you are and knows where to take the car to avoid people's eyes and ears. It is considered a service process. Seeing that this man was so polite, Fatty Fan winked at me and asked if I wanted to lower his price, but he was stopped by the polite man. He said that the drifter does not accept further negotiation. If you feel that the first price increase is inappropriate, you should reject him immediately. If you follow him now and then regret it, you will probably be taken to the ditch. This kind of person cannot be offended.

We walked through the woods and canals like this, and half an hour later we emerged from the birch forest. What appeared in front of us was a vast open space with only a lonely warehouse in the center. The wanderer who led us immediately retreated into the dense forest, and asked us to ignore the others and just penetrate the main road in the wasteland. This person took care of everything else. Sure enough, when we returned to the avenue, the loudspeakers behind the warehouse began to sound, and many bald heads ran out of the wooden house and fired at us. They were entangled by the corpse, and they had already disappeared when they really got rid of us. No trace left, the mountains have been left far behind

"This is really a magical pocket world."This was the first time Sister Di heard about so many secrets of the dark world, and she seemed very excited. She took everyone to a gas station based on her memories, went to an ATM to pull cards, and said she didn't know if she could raise four thousand dollars. While she was busy, two pickup trucks appeared in the distance, with seven to eight bald people sitting on them, and others were chased.

"Don't panic, it was me who called."Hun Siyan shook his phone and said,"They are here to ask for money. It's time to settle the bill."

Looking at this scene, I felt both ridiculous and surprised. These bald heads were shooting a second ago, and then turned around and completely forgot about it. They jumped out of the pickup truck as if nothing had happened, and came over with expressionless faces and hands behind their backs. We looked at each other across the car without saying a word. Later, I heard the short man say that this kind of thing is possible. It is impossible for us to find out where they are hiding while being chased by rampant ghosts. Common sense determines that it was an accidental collision. , so the Free Military Police only thought that they were unlucky and had to sweat. If they really felt that they were being fooled, they would only target the drifters. Now for them, they just came to collect money, and then they would go about their own business.

When Sister Di came back, she saw a bunch of We were surrounded by five big and three thick people of all races in Gaixin. We thought it was going to be a gang fight, so we panicked and almost ran into the gas station to hide. However, the bald man leading the group seemed to have seen her on TV, so he said hello with a smile and continued. After paying the money, he asked for her autograph and said that his group was called mountain people, and he quickly drove back.

"The money was a bit short. After giving it to them, there was only seven hundred left."Dixie, the God of Wealth, put the note in the hand of Soul Scythe, rubbed his face, asked Lao Dai for a tissue and said with tears:"Look at me, I'm thirty-six, I don't have as much social connections as you think, and I still have to take care of my family. Pay off loans with extremely high interest rates. Now I am a member of your Ghostbusters, my head is covered in feces, my body stinks terribly, my body is bruised and my back is sore. Then you have to ask for leave, which counts as absenteeism. If Ajia takes the opportunity to promote interns, I might be replaced tomorrow when I go on camera. The workplace is like a tiger's den. Anyway, at this moment, I only have these, and I can’t make up for the rest."

"It doesn't matter, almost all the men present have beaten you up, including this little naughty guy. Eubisio sniffed expressionlessly, raised his hand and pointed at the detective and said:"This New York guy and his buddy are the only ones who haven't had your nosebleed on their hands, so let them make up for it." And I believe that he is waiting for you to go up and talk to him."

But then again, the drifter who led the way seems to have disappeared since he led the corpse into the situation. Could it be that he is in trouble and has no time to care about him? On the way home, I thought about it with good wishes, Soon this guy called me without mercy, but I was shocked when he opened his mouth. As for why? Because he actually offered to negotiate the price.

"But then I thought about it, this is considered a favor, and I have a lingering fragrance in my hand. Asking you for a thousand is a bit too much, after all, I have done nothing. The man thought for a moment and asked,"Just take 600. This is reasonable. If you drive forward for another 20 minutes, you will naturally see a country restaurant with a red roof. Put the money under the vase on table three." , I will come and get it"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind? That's not your style."The short man put his hands together and asked coldly

"Because you don’t have much left. I saw Dixie collapsed because she couldn’t get enough money. She was crying just now. So I think I should leave you some breakfast money, so I’ll ask for a hundred less, hehe."

Everyone in the car was shocked. They didn't know whether this guy was a human or a ghost. How could he know our current situation so clearly. After arriving at the gas station, everyone didn't see any passers-by, and the soul scythe kept staring at the person standing in front of the ATM. Sister Di, there is no one around. No drifter has ever lowered his worth. It would be a blessing if they didn't take the opportunity to extort money. Therefore, Soul Scythe judged that this person must have a background, and he would also make other demands.

"So I said to myself, why make all the money at once? Dixie will forget about it within a week after returning home. If we have to deal with him again, a busy person like her may not be able to remember me, so I have to leave a good impression on her. As expected, with a few slanderous words, the negotiation process immediately started. The sound of the man smoking soon came from the phone. He seemed smug and said easily:"I can sell you information." , a friendly gift first. Three days ago, I saw a man in a raincoat standing in front of Dixie's house. He put a heavy black bag on the porch and rang the bell. When the girl went downstairs and opened the door and looked at him, she immediately fainted and fainted. The snake embryo was planted. The guy was a person without eyes."

"Since you know everything from astronomy to geography, and even our private affairs so clearly, you should know that you can't get the money out."When Fatty Fan heard this, he became a little annoyed and said:"And this time we ran all night just to save people and nothing else."

"If you focus on identifying Dixie, you will play into the minds of some people, because she was indeed dragged into this mess by that yellow-haired boy, whether she wanted to or not.. I only seek money for no other reason, so naturally I have to get it in a wise way, so there is no need to guard against me. That is the wrong direction. If the yellow-haired boy is the flying bird of prey in dreams, then I am the flying bird of prey in reality. My name is a drifter, not a drifter in the sense of the dark world. If you feel uncomfortable, you can also call me a ghost. Okay, if one day you are really interested in me, just put an empty red envelope in the No. 4 shipping box of the Fruit Core Hotel, and I will understand. Dixie is very good at playing cards. She can win every time with the diamond 7. Finally, I would like to give you a piece of advice: don’t question Dixie’s professionalism. That’s her fault. Goodbye, everyone."

The nine people in the group drove to the country restaurant he designated with gloomy expressions and put the money under the vase. Then they shared a big table and described to her the reasons why they followed Sister Di on the rainy night, and then they went their separate ways. Discuss in groups

"Otherwise, let's pretend to leave for a while, drop everyone in the middle, and then go back around to see who comes to withdraw the money, and we may find his traces." Fan Fat had a premonition that he was about to enter the conspiracy theory section that interested him most, and he assured Lao Dai:"I often do such quiet things, and if I do it, it will ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"No need, since that person is so confident, he is not worried that you will find a way to find him. Even if someone does come to withdraw money, it will be a random stranger called on the street. You are still too young."The detective stretched himself out and looked out the window in a daze.

"Hey, how are you?"Since we entered the store, even if we vividly described all the dangerous situations to Sister Di, she always lowered her beautiful eyes and said nothing, and her whole body was trembling. I noticed this, leaned over and asked:"Actually, we also I didn’t hit you that hard, especially me, who kept dodging for fear of accidentally getting hurt. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, this is terrible. Who is that person? She used the excuse of going to the toilet and dragged me into the aisle. She held her head and said in fear,"I have only played a trick once, and I won by stealing a Diamond 7. How did he know that?" I won 2,400 yuan that time, but in fact, I didn’t tell the truth to that stern-faced man just now. I didn’t finish the money, and that’s the amount left in my card!"

"this……"I didn't comment on this, but I didn't expect that Dixie, who looked sincere on the surface, would tell lies with her eyes open and her face calm. This was very similar to Sister Zhan Xing. But if you think about it carefully, that drifter's intelligence gathering ability is too strong to be ordinary.

"I don’t know them, so how do I know if I was abducted or if I really came here on my own? It’s not easy to make money, so why should I pay for it in vain? When she saw my face turned red, she whispered in my ear:"I only believe in you. Listen to me and break away from this group of people with complicated backgrounds. You will not end well if you continue to hang out with them.""

In this way, the storm came to an end in silence, just like the thunder and lightning when we left, and the dark sky when we returned home. After returning to Charlotte, we went to the hospital separately, treated the wounds a little, and returned to the hotel. , decided to give birth and take a rest, Tieblich had to be busy with decoration, Eubisio felt that he had nothing to do, so he decided to go out for a walk at the invitation of Lao Dai, so as to familiarize himself with the geography of the United States, so he decided to set off with us on the 29th. Durhan traveled around the mountains and rivers. At the same time, he asked the three rams accompanying him to secretly monitor and protect Sister Di.

At noon the next day, the detective invited Xiaoma's serious friends to the 0514 warehouse and said that he planned to give them some work.

"Take it out."Lao Dai glanced at Fan Fan, nuzzled into his pocket, and said,"You can't ask the miners to work in vain."

The fat man reluctantly took out a few pieces of jewelry from his trouser pocket and threw them on the ground. He had picked them up secretly from the vault of the Yin Eclipse Dojo. He thought they were well hidden and no one would notice them, but in fact they had been stolen a long time ago. Soul Scythe saw it, but just didn't expose him. From the fact that Fan Pang carried a double-edged sword ring with him in the past, the detective believed that he was actually very money-loving and was just pretending to be generous.

"You can take these things to the flea market and exchange them for money. I estimate that you can exchange them for about 4,000 yuan, which can be considered your first pot of gold. Paco and I didn't think about the matter in detail last time, so this should be considered as compensation. I can guarantee that no one will come to trace the source of the gold and silver. If it really happens, just remember it on my head."The detective coughed a few times and asked the Mexican to open his backpack.

A large bundle of old photos and documents brought back from the Tell Sandbank Bank were placed in front of everyone. He looked at the noisy Kelly, not knowing what Lao Dai wanted. What tasks are assigned to them?

"Well, we got this information accidentally. It would have taken us a while to figure out the background of the people and the location of the buildings in the old photos. But you also know that the fruit core boss friend can't afford to delay the matter, so he has to go to Durhan. The detective puffed out his chest and belly, wiped his nose and smiled:"Well, you are all young people. You pick up girls online every day, and you also have unique hacking skills. You are much better than an old, stubborn and ignorant living stone like me." Therefore, it is more suitable for this job. How much money you want to exchange for these jewelry is your business, but you have to start work immediately. No matter how long it takes, you must give me a result."

After hearing this, Four Eyes and the others were all overjoyed. They patted their chests and said that it was all about them. They even arrogantly claimed that they would be able to find out the source in less than ten days. The detective and Paco listened to these boasts and took it for granted. I sneered at it.

And I spent the whole afternoon leaning in front of the big window of the living room thinking about what happened these days, feeling worried. I was not worried about myself, but worried about Sister Di. Others even knew how much money was left in her card. , and knows where she lives, if you want to break into the house and rob her, you can easily do it. I firmly believe that that person will not be so low-key, he actually wants more.

Krys comes in from time to time and asks me why I am still in a daze, and will I go out tomorrow? Pack it up? What on earth were you thinking about? I could only give a wry smile and nuzzled my lips to the sky, saying that I only felt lost after the female soldier left, so I sent her away again. Yes, I told myself more than once that I had saved Dixie from this ordeal. , I need to make up my mind to distance myself from her. My unknown origin will cause her endless trouble in the future. However, there is a pusher in the dark, always pushing me towards her, which is very melancholy. Mobile phone Without any suspense, it rang again. When I raised it up, it turned out to be her. I pressed the call button and heard an enthusiastic voice.

"Last time you mentioned to me that you were going to go out to do errands tomorrow. So before you leave, I want to give you a gift. She greeted others with a smile on the other end of the phone, then turned to a quiet place and said,"I spent a lot of effort to get this gift.""

"That's fine. I originally planned to meet you tonight, so I decided to meet you at seven o'clock in the evening. It's too far to go, so I might as well come to the pond in the park opposite the fruit core."I responded casually and closed the phone. Tonight is very important. I must make a break with her. I can't continue to be entangled in this confusion. For Dixie's safety, I must stay as far away from her as possible. The sky is gradually getting dark. It was gloomy. A car came in front of the hotel and she called me. Dixie was like this. No matter where she made an appointment at the beginning, she would always change her mind at the last hour and move the person to a place she thought was more suitable. I pushed hard. I pulled off my formal clothes that were not dry yet, stepped into the Sheraton gate, and walked into the revolving restaurant rather awkwardly.

She was already waiting at the other end and waved to me frequently. Before sitting down, she asked the waiter for some fruit wine, then she held her chin and looked at me with a smile.

"Actually, this time I came here because I wanted to……"What should I say to her? I thought hard and didn't know how to speak.

"Eh? I almost forgot, wait a moment, this is a gift for you."She suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and rummaged through the bag, then took out a carefully packaged box and placed it in front of me. She pressed it with her fingers and asked,"Guess what it contains first?"

"It can’t be an engagement ring, right?"I deliberately made a lame joke, took the brocade box from her hand, and dismantled it. When the last layer of tulle was peeled off, I couldn't help but be shocked on the spot. I could no longer control my inner turmoil and burst into tears.

That was Because, this gift is the blue bottle I got back from the Nightmare Remnant Crow, which is exactly the same perfume.

"I specially took photos of the bottle and kept looking for its origin. Finally, with the help of a friend, I got it from Pennsylvania. This perfume is called Langside. It was discontinued in 1991. It is a relatively cheap French perfume. I always wonder, what should I give you as a gift for saving me from trouble many times? That must be something money can't buy, so I give you this deepest memory.……"

"Thank you, Dixie, thank you."I don't care what others think of me, I've already burst into tears.
