Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

There were extinguished cigarette butts everywhere in the empty Coke cans, on the fruit bowl, and on the leftover pizza. When Lao Qian woke up from his dream, he saw that his teeth were black and his mouth had a bad odor. He was so angry that he asked his family to throw all the ashtrays into the trash can, and his remaining Chesterfield cigarettes were naturally put into our bags. Neighboring residents brought flowers stained with rain and dew, which were said to have been picked in their own yards. The vases were placed outside the door in a mess. Everyone wants to know what happened the night before, and everyone thinks the farce is over.

And we know that this is just the beginning, it won’t get any worse, it will only get worse.

Lao Dai lay on Qian's sofa for a few hours, then quickly got up and participated in the cleaning work of the study. We marked several bookcases A, B, and C respectively, sorted and stacked the books, and stacked them all in the courtyard, trying to find out what Lao Qian was looking for. Regarding this issue, we repeatedly reiterated when his family was out shopping that if there were any secrets that could not be disclosed publicly, we could take this opportunity to disclose them and we would definitely keep them confidential. But no matter how much he recalled it, he could never remember it.

This is the disgusting thing about the ghost under the soil. It will cut off all clues about itself, so old money cannot provide substantial help. We can only find the answer ourselves. However, it cannot be said that there was no success this time. Although the portraitist was scared to death, the two grimaces were so ferocious that he could not forget them even if he wanted to. Therefore, within half an hour after the incident, the sketch was produced.

These are two forbidding portraits, a man and a woman whose bodies are mostly immersed in darkness, leaving only their facial features. Judging from their appearance, they are all white men over forty years old. The man has a slicked back hair, a plump figure, a Douglas-style chin dimple, and a dolphin tattoo under his neck; while the woman has big bobs, a face from the Rita Hayworth era, and is painted in bright colors She wears lipstick and trims her eyebrows, which makes her look more fashionable and well-dressed. In order to find out who they were in the future and need to distribute it widely, Fan Pang printed dozens of copies at once and handed the first copy to Lao Qian.

The portrait was circulated in front of everyone, including the residents of Ou Shizhu Street. Everyone said they didn't know about it and had no impression of it. We had no choice but to put it away in frustration, which also showed that the answer required searching for clues in the Peachtree Corner area. Mrs. Qian repeatedly apologized for the unhappiness between them in the past few days. She paid 30,000 yuan in cash first and said that she would be repaid again when the matter was completed, adding another 20,000 yuan to the original price. At this point, the price of this transaction has increased from the original 50,000 to 70,000, finally putting a smile on everyone's gloomy faces in recent days.

"The main business of Tomorrow Glory is to investigate this type of supernatural events. In fact, it is very similar to criminal investigation. You only know one cause, but you need to find the clues on your own. There are various imaginable and unimaginable factors involved here. The process It will be very exciting, so the future direction must be based on what I say."The detective said, pacing back and forth in the courtyard under the night, with his hands behind his back.

He had previously sent a fax of Ajia's portrait, asking him to spread it widely among the national detectives. The more people would see it, the more people would see it. Then the channels for collecting information will be wider. Starting from the Fruit Core Hotel, Lao Dai has been very jealous that we have miners. Now he has also found an organization, and it is far larger than us. There are tens of thousands of civilian enthusiasts all over the United States.. These people are usually afraid of having nothing to do, and they want to find fun for themselves even though they are sarcastic. Two grimaces are enough for them. As a result, only four hours later, a group of local national detectives from Durham drove over and headed towards Lao Dai offered to participate

"Don’t you have to go to work?"Looking at these middle-aged people, I couldn't help but be curious and asked:"What about the family?"

As a result, after introducing each other, these people have a lot of backgrounds. Some are club owners, some are young men, and some are independent agents. In short, no one is working from 9 to 5 for a dead salary. They are all wealthy middle class. Therefore. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and you can work as hard as you like. Compared with them, we Lancasters are the ones who are jealous. Most of the miners are minors and have no financial foundation. Sometimes they have to rely on us to support them. , how can we be compared with this group of mainstays of society? Unexpectedly, the detective went to North Carolina to do some personal business, and had already relied on the halo of his ancestors, the Browek brothers, to lay a foundation for himself in the southern states.

People are obsessed with these things , they carefully researched and selected it, but it didn’t tell us anything we didn’t know.

According to the normal script, we thought that Lao Dai would have a good chat with them, putting their arms around each other. As expected, the carnival did not last long before the detective politely turned him away.

"why is that? You yourself said that they are more professional than detectives in many aspects, and their families are relatively well-off, so it is impossible to go to Qian's family to ask for fees. I can't understand why I'm so envious of others' resources but abandoning them. Fan Pang asked puzzledly.

"If these words were raised by two young people, it would be understandable, but if you are more than ten years older than them, you shouldn't be."Lao Dai dragged the fat man aside, pointed at Krys and I to compare with him, and said,"They came here in high spirits because they live nearby. National detectives are different from your miners. They are people who follow logical reasoning, pay attention to on-site evidence, and investigate the original story. This principle is just like if you go to the police station to report that ghosts on a certain road section have killed people, others will not file a case for you. It's just that what happened this time is related to the mysterious incident, but the essence is still a case. This group generally has high IQs and focuses on major domestic cases. They just happen to hear about them and are temporarily interested. Moreover, do you think their physiques can withstand high-intensity fighting?"

"We might as well deduce it, in order to investigate who the man and the woman are? What era does it belong to? You need to devote a lot of energy to searching for missing persons files in various institutions and visiting various places. But according to what this guy described, most of you have never been to Georgia, you have to rely on maps to find the way, and you have no local acquaintances, and you only have about ten days. Is this always realistic?"Unexpectedly, these words were quickly heard by them. A certain four-eyed woman pointed at the Soul Scythe and made a loud noise, saying:"And we are in contact with the national detectives and the sympathetic associations in other places. We don't live far from each other. Help you a lot"

"You don’t understand. I’ll ask the people in New York to email you a copy of the original file of Case 2201 later. The detective put his hands in his trouser pockets, sighed, and said,"What we are dealing with is something we don't even know about." The Brovek brothers also dealt with the same type of thing back then. They had more resources than contemporary ones, but they still failed. Therefore, if this thing is to be done, it will not be as dramatic as a novel like Sherlock Holmes. I personally think that the chance of success is very slim and extremely dangerous. You can follow, but don't get involved, because I can't guarantee your life safety. Furthermore, most mysterious events are anti-scientific and anti-physical phenomena. You, like Lao Qian, find it difficult to identify with these and conflict with your own ideas. If you really want to help, you can simplify the complex and look for clues based on the information you have collected so far."

"The United States is such a strange country."Eupisio sat on the porch, watching them from a distance, clinking a glass with Ruddock's razor, drinking the brandy with a tilt of his neck, and smiled helplessly. In fact, for him, and even for me, it would appear that This view, after all, we all come from the other side of the earth. The ethnic unity of our own country means that there will not be so many sects, sympathetic associations and various cultural characteristics among the people. And the countries that can be found on the globe are basically inhabited by people. In North America, this is a big country of immigrants, so it brings customs and traditions, concepts and cultures from all over the world, which together create a majestic inclusiveness. The soul-seeing sickle is playing with the rose-red beads he saw last night. I asked how their decisive battle was planned last night. It turns out that this kind of beads is a kind of classical paper flower in the mountains of Portugal. In the past, poor people who couldn't afford flowers would put them in a vase, called Ranúnculo. Because they wanted to spread The strong fragrance was soaked in the dye vat for several months in advance. Once unfolded, it filled the nose with a fragrant fragrance. It was intended to seduce the woman; and then the thick liquid that Ruddock sprayed out was some kind of chemical product, containing a strong smell of nicotine. The same reason is based on their characteristics. The original plan was to attract the two ghosts to reveal themselves, then tie them with black hinges, and then hand them over to Paco. The dough tied by the Mexicans has a lot of history. It is actually a kind of grass. Insect cheese cake is a delicacy in southern Europe. If the two demons can't stand it, they will dig into the batter, so that they can be cut off. But it is a pity that the props failed.

As for the bug that jumped out from Lao Dai's back They didn't know about the virtual spirit. It was the essence of Bojia's cutting technique, and it was impossible to share the experience. We didn't believe it, so we asked Lao Dai about it. He smiled and said nothing as Gongyang said. , finally got tired of being pestered, and kept hearing me complain that I had to work hard to cooperate with him, so I uttered a few words - Judge.

No matter what it was, in short, the planning this time was rigorous, and all the layout designs were integrated with each other. , which did not follow the ancient method, and was really full of creativity. Fan Pang said with emotion that this incident reminded him of a person, Aurora, the castaway of San Vitale.

According to Miss Lycurgus's description, this person came from Greece The elite female swordsmen created a precedent for combining their strengths. In the battle of Leiyinweng, they actively used their brains to compete with Henghuang, breaking the opponent's advantage of seeing through the entire space-time line, and cutting off the orbit. Although he tried his best, he still died underground in the end, which is really sad.

Therefore, to deal with unprecedented giant monsters, you can't break them without stepping out of the old frame and without reflection. The driving force of this world is innovation, and what you use Every software and every life convenience you are accustomed to is a revolution brought about by innovation. Ideas are opportunities and wealth. Without them, society can only stand still and be attacked by others' dimensionality reduction. This trip to Durham This is just the beginning. In the future, we will encounter more challenges, and we will surely experience the pain of falling into hell.

The pile of things sorted out from the study room were classified into books, utensils and daily necessities, and the answer lies in them. Lao Qian's rummaging behavior meant that he must have known the reason when he was once awake. However, when a male and a female ghost were silenced, his memory was also locked up. From this point, Lao Dai judged that, His encounter with evil spirits was not accidental, there must be a reason.

So, if we really want to find out why, we have to go to Georgia and see the monorail in person. Therefore, the itinerary was decided, and it was scheduled to start tomorrow. While the national detective was also there, there was only one thing that could be done tonight, which was to label anything suspicious in the courtyard and bring it to the local sympathy club in Durham. in so that you can read it at any time later

"Charlie is back at the core too, right? Krys pushed Ruddock gently and asked,"Where did you go to Florida?""

"She's still in Jacksonville, saying she wants to relax, and maybe she'll stay for a while, who knows? I'm not familiar with her and haven't spoken to her much in the past. Razor shrugged and asked,"You want to see her for something?""

"No, I asked casually."Krys walked back to the corner of the courtyard lonely and played on the swing. Since the afternoon, I felt that something was wrong with her. She was very preoccupied, and she never said anything to me, let's sneak out and play while they were busy.

"What's wrong? Want someone to talk to?"I walked up to her, also started swinging, and asked,"What are you thinking about?" Have you heard about leaving for Georgia and are you a little eager to see Hollisman? Let’s divert midway and go to Yuegu Radio Station first."

"No, I'm not thinking about this, you don't understand, give me your cigarette."Taking out the lighter, I lit it for her. Krys took a few puffs and snuffed it out on the iron stand.Sighing:"I'm just worried about my own incompetence."

"You were originally traveling with me, why are you worried? Did Lao Dai and Soul Scythe say something to you in private?"

"No, precisely because I came to play along. She stared blankly into the distance, tears streaming down her face, and suddenly laughed again, laughing at herself:"They are both very kind to me, you misunderstood." Compared to you, I don’t have to do anything, which is frustrating to me. I don’t want to be someone else’s foil forever, Alex, do you understand? In the past, in Brisbane, I came out to join society at a very young age. At that time, I had my own life and made friends with all kinds of people. I would not be ignored by others no matter what. However, after getting to know Hollisman, it was a hard journey, and I lost myself every day. Everything was because of others, including being on duty at the core. I don't want that kind of life. You slowly have your own circle and get out of loneliness. Charlie also has his own belonging. In comparison, I feel that I am so incompetent. Why did I sink to this point?"

I couldn't help but be shocked. How could she have such an idea? Although I don't know the specific reason for getting old money, she played a key role. However, can I tell her the truth? For a creature like a woman, I Dixie, who is always unpredictable and doesn't understand what they are thinking, comes into my heart because of this, which makes people worry-free. She is not like a girl of Krys's age who needs comfort and understanding from others. Just like the night broadcast on the emotional channel, they are very good at taking care of each other's emotions. Since Lin Rui left, I never paid attention to her. I even thought it would be fun for female soldiers to move in, and I regarded Krys as a prop from the beginning to the end.

If I put myself Putting myself in her shoes and putting myself in her shoes, I can understand her thoughts. At least before meeting Lin Rui, she was a very independent girl, but life is like this. People will gradually grow up, think about the past, and make comparisons. Law

"I understand. From now on I will not mention Moon Valley Radio again until you remember it yourself. I won’t tell you to go away or let you participate less. In the past, I was entrusted by him, and I was always worried that I would make mistakes and not be able to explain it later. But since this is your idea, let's go ahead and do it. You are very important. You are still the most important part of our death squad. This will not change."

"Thank you, I just hope I can get a little respect and not things like freebies or free coupons."She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the raven circling above her head, and said:"I want to be like it, like Charlie, to be independent and not rely on others."

"Hey, I want to ask you something. I remember one time I slept in Charlie's room, and before I came out, she asked me to call her at noon. Then we went downstairs, and the detective happened to find us. Follow me back to 0512 and knock on her door again, but the female soldier seemed extremely impatient and kicked me away." Seeing her staring at the sky in a daze, I deliberately changed the subject and asked,"What kind of mentality is this?"

"Maybe you want some personal space, but you are constantly being harassed, and you want to leave some mystery to the other person but it is broken. She also said that she is very strict about keeping time, why don't you call her and ask yourself?"She stretched herself and called a taxi back to the hotel alone.

After watching her leave, I turned back to the crowd and saw Fatty Fan squatting in front of the wooden box holding a book, so I asked what this was. What. Turn your head and look at it. It’s a science fiction book called How We Are Now in the Eyes of People a Hundred Years Ago.

"Sometimes I can't understand it, like this book."Pang Fan picked up a stick of Weed, clicked his tongue, and said.
