Seven Evil Slips Chapter 9:
After lunch, start on time.
It's rare to walk with your head held high this time. Huo Zihong, Uncle Zhang, and Zheng Bo all came out to see them off. bring to.
Six people and one chicken, the car was too crowded, everyone agreed to take turns to accompany Cao Jiefang to sit in the back compartment of the car, only the magic stick was spared - every time Cao Jiefang saw the magic stick, his body would radiate the same day fighting the cheetah The pride comes.
Luo Ren drove, but considering his physical condition, he would exchange with Cao Yanhua halfway—and, if nothing unexpected happened, Cao Yanhua would be responsible for most of the drive.
In the face of many suspicious eyes from his companions and chickens, Cao Yanhua held his driving book high: "I have it!"
Kiyo: "Is it expired?"
"No!"
13,000: "Did you buy it?"
"Nonsense! There is a steel seal."
Yan Hongsha: "Did you get the steel seal by chance?"
…
Luo Ren couldn't help but want to laugh, but the magic stick successfully attracted everyone's attention.
He looked surprised: "Do you need a book to drive?"
Cao Yanhua was speechless: "Mr. God, isn't this common sense? Then what do you think you need to drive?"
Shen stick said: "I thought it was enough to have money."
Luo Ren laughed, the movement became louder for a while, and the wound was a little painful. Kiyo stretched out his hand from the back seat, and stroked his wound carefully. Yes: Nothing.
Out of the ancient city, go to a private recuperation center first, Aoki is waiting at the door, leading Luo Ren and Kiyo to see Tasha.
Three people, one in front and two behind, walked through the reception hall on the first floor to take the elevator used inside.
This rehabilitation center was introduced by a friend of Zheng Mingshan. The first floor and above are open to the public, and the underground area has long-term cooperation with the police and even Interpol to provide covert treatment that is not available in ordinary hospitals.
A doctor was already waiting in front of a ward. He saw a few people coming and pushed and pulled a small door on the door. Inside was a layer of one-way viewing mirror with a speaker hole, so he could clearly hear what was going on inside. sound.
The walls are all upholstered, the furnishings are simple, and even the bed is an inflatable air cushion with no corners. Tasha lay on the soft carpet and flipped through a comic book, all of which were in Chinese, which she couldn't understand. But with a child's mind, even when looking at the paintings, they still enjoy watching them with gusto.
He was humming a song, intermittently, out of tune.
Without this door and lock, what a warm scene it would be.
The doctor frowned, not optimistic.
"...Being badly guided and influenced, she is too different from ordinary children. We did some test questions on her."
"What are knives used for? The answer with the largest proportion of children in the same age group is: chopping vegetables. She answered: killing people. When she answered, she made a stabbing motion..."
Luo Ren's eyes were a little wet, and his thoughts suddenly drifted back to the past.
——A dozen or so old men stood in a row and unzipped their crotch in unison. He turned around and ordered: "Tasha, watch!"
Tasha tensed up, turned around quickly, stomped her feet, covered her ears, and did not move.
He took a deep breath and interrupted the doctor's observation and diagnosis: "Can she see me?"
The doctor hesitated for a moment: "Yes."
Need to squat down, there is another small sliding door in the lower part of the door, which is made of special glass, double-sided.
Luo Ren squatted down slowly.
I don't know which screen to turn to, Tasha giggled, looked up inadvertently, and saw Luo Ren.
I can't describe the change in the expression on the child's face. The smile froze and turned into a hideous one in an instant. He almost rushed towards him, smashing his small fist hard at the glass.
Bang, bang, bang, kicked again, couldn't find a weapon around, and threw the book over, this time Luo Ren saw it clearly, the title of the book was "Snow White", the blond Snow White on the screen The princess smiled sweetly, was thrown against the glass, and then slid down the glass.
——"Daddy, will you come to Australia to see me?"
The sliding door was closed, and Kiyo reached out to help him: "Luo Ren, let's go."
…
Walking out of the hospital, Luo Ren sat on the steps of the door for a long time, the sun was so bright that the thorny people couldn't open their eyes, and there was an osmanthus tree in the flower bed beside it, and the finely broken gold spread on the grass A thin layer.
Sitting with him, Kiyo picked up a piece or two of sweet-scented osmanthus from the ground and put it in his palm, puffed up his cheeks, and blew it away with a huff.
Said: "Tasha is a little star that flew away from you. But maybe one day, she will fly back."
How chaotic the universe is, with so many unexpected collisions, there is no telling when this star will shine above you again.
Luo Ren laughed and said, "Don't fly around, girlfriend."
***
On the long road, the car goes straight, turns, and changes directions. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of looking at it. Even Cao Jiefang dozed off in the cage impatiently.
The most lively time is the meal time. The car has enough snacks, and the sound of pricking and tearing the packaging bag makes people feel refreshed.
The old saying of the magic stick is repeated, what exactly does the "hide" point to?
One thing is for sure, Cheetah doesn't know where the seventh root is. Her subordinates run around for her and even find Yafeng.
Cao Yanhua suddenly asked: "How did the cheetah find the sixth evil slip?"
The great-grandfather of the cheetah, with a map of China hanging in the room, with a crooked spoon lying across the map, has been thinking about going home, but he has never set foot on this continent in his whole life.
Luo Ren pondered for a while: "Cheetah's ancestor fled in a hurry and went all the way to Nanyang. We might as well make a bold guess, her ancestor also worshiped the evil Jane."
"After escaping, some information will inevitably be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, Cheetah's great-grandfather is familiar with this story, and also knows that the fierce Jane has special functions on the human body."
"Later, the cheetah had an accident. In the words of Interpol, it no longer has the ability to act. The cheetah fought fiercely with me and fell downstairs. It is common sense to speculate that even if it does not die, the spine is damaged, the brain is injured, and it is impossible to stand up. .”
"In this situation, her great-grandfather suddenly thought of the fierce Jane, so he sent Cheetah's men to enter the country first. But he only knew the geographical distribution of the last round of fierce Jane, so the photos Aoki got, the Cheetah's That subordinate will appear in the small town of Shibanqiao in Zhejiang."
Cao Yanhua still didn't want to understand: "But we all know that the location of this round of fierce letters has changed a long time ago, and this location is just a point on the map. In reality, it may be a large area, involving There are tens of millions of people, and if you don't use some means, you can't find it at all."
That's true, if you don't use some means, you can't find it at all, but what means are you using?
Luo Ren frowned, Cheetah couldn't answer this question anymore, her great-grandfather was over a hundred years old, far away in Medan, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, if he wanted to know the answer, he could only ask her The men who were caught and brought back to the Philippines by Interpol.
Luo Ren pulls over and stops.
The parking place is close to a small village, where chickens and dogs smell each other, and there is a strong atmosphere of life. Everyone gets out of the car to let the wind go. They were all xenophobic, and after a while of fleeing in all directions, only Cao Jiefang stood alone on the spot, with infinitely bleak eyes.
Cao Yanhua comforted Cao Jiefang: "Jiefang, it's because they don't know the goods, and they are not suitable for you."
In the distance, 13,000 was sitting on a rock, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and said: "Even Cao Jiefang knows how to pursue love, Cao Pangpang only knows how to chase pheasants—isn't it red?" Sand?"
Yan Hongsha ignored him.
In fact, since the morning, she hasn't said a word to him. Even after Uncle Zhang spoke, when he turned pale and said "write, write, write immediately", she just replied A sentence: "It's not rare, a gentleman doesn't eat food that is cheap."
The relationship breaks down in an instant, and it is extremely difficult to rebuild it.
13,000 smiles all over his face: "Red sand? Erhuo girl?"
While calling her, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, Yan Hongsha snapped off his hand with a snap, and then turned to another direction.
There, the magic stick is practicing shooting a slingshot at a scarecrow stuck on a high place, and small clods and pebbles are flying around, passing up, down, left, and right through the scarecrow.
It is really admirable, none of them won the bid.
Luo Ren was on the phone in the distance, and Kiyo accompanied him. Originally, the two thought that the magic stick was far enough away.
And every time this happens, Luo Ren has to pull Muyo to avoid it for a while, so the magic stick is not without success——Yan Hongsha feels that he has at least half driven Luo Ren and Muyo away There is more than enough.
She was curious: Who is Luo Ren calling.
***
The caller was calling Zheng Mingshan, and asked him to ask his friend to ask what Cheetah's subordinates did when they entered the country earlier, and specifically asked Zheng Mingshan to ask skillfully and show a It's like "I know what you did, I just see how honest you are".
Zheng Mingshan smiled dryly: "Luo Ren, I don't need you to remind me, my friends are no worse than you."
Luo Ren was embarrassed by what he said, and when he put down the phone, he smiled at Kiyo: "The regular army just looks down on our grassroots team."
Kiyo fed him a biscuit, with tiny salt and pepper grains on the surface, which was really delicious.
After a while, someone called from an overseas number.
It should be from Southeast Asia, and the Chinese is very blunt, saying: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Zheng gave me your number, let me tell you directly."
It's Zheng Mingshan's personality, he's not interested, and he doesn't bother to be a sounding board, so you can talk by yourself.
Luo Ren hummed.
"We have interrogated the content of Mr. Zheng's inquiry before, and there are indeed some strange things. But the cheetah is of Chinese descent. We have consulted scholars on East Asian issues, and they think it is just an ancient and ignorant ritual of the Chinese. , has no practical significance. You must know that China is very big, and there are different customs in ten miles, which is not what we care about.”
Luo Ren took a look at Kiyo, indicating that there is indeed a situation, and then switched the phone to the outside: "I want to know more about it."
Kiyo beckoned to Sanwan and the others, telling everyone to come over, and when he got closer, he raised his finger to his lips and pointed to the phone at the same time, which meant: Just listen carefully.
***
According to Cheetah's subordinates, after Cheetah's accident, there was strife and chaos within the group. Anyway, she couldn't survive, and everyone pushed the wall down. There must be a new round of leaders to take over.
Even, in order to avoid objections, he made up his mind to "finish" her completely.
Cheetah's confidants acted first and sent her overnight to the rear of Samar Island.
Different doctors, domestic or foreign, whether paid for or kidnapped, come and go in the hidden house near the sea on Samar Island. Looking at everyone with cloudy eyes.
Later, the cheetah's life was saved, but its spine was severely damaged, part of its brain was injured, and it was unable to speak. It was completely blind in one eye, leaving only one eye.
It is impossible for such a person to dominate Medan again. The tree fell and Misun scattered, and everyone looked for their own future. In the end, there were only a dozen or so people left.
The great-grandfather of the cheetah began to stay in the cheetah's room for a long time, talking in the cheetah's ear in a babbling manner. The old man, his speech leaked, and his articulation was slurred. No one cared about what he said.
Suddenly one day, he summoned all these people to Cheetah's bedside, and asked them to go to China to do one thing, pray for Cheetah, and may God's miracle come.
The old man who is about to die is really whimsical. Besides, most of them have never been to China.
But the great-grandfather of the cheetah said that this is the order of the cheetah.
Luo Ren was surprised: "Cheetah's order?"
"Yes. She can't speak, her whole body is paralyzed, but her eyes can move. There is a 26-letter keyboard in front of her bed. When a letter is pressed, the light will turn on. In order to prove that this is an order from the cheetah, someone stepped forward. Press the alphabet plate, and if she presses the letter she wants, she will blink one eye."
"What is her order?"
"It's easy, four letters, two words: doit."
Seven people were selected. The nurse drew a large tube of blood from the cheetah. The great-grandfather of the cheetah dipped a pen in the blood and drew seven pictures.
Luo Ren asked: "What kind of painting?"
"It's all burned, I can only give you a brief description."
"There is an eye in the sky, the pupil is very strange, twisted and slender, like a spoon. Under the eye, there are various death scenes."
"People were hacked to death with knives, drowned in rivers, hanged with ropes, buried in soil to suffocate, set on fire, etc."
"It is said that there are characters on every picture of death. But they don't know it. I showed them the Chinese square characters, but they didn't look like them. I couldn't retrieve them."
"Everyone, with a painting, went to seven different places. The span is very large, almost half of the border of China, from west to east. In the bright night of the stars, burn, but, to put Take back the ashes."
"In the end, seven people, gathered in a small town in the east - as far as we know, related to the Chinese ancestors of the cheetah. The paper ash was mixed in a glass vessel, opened, and placed in a room. "
Luo Ren's eyes tightened: "And then?"
"It is said that they have to wait. They confessed that on the seventh day, they accidentally went into the house to look, and saw a strange change in the paper ashes in the glass container. Many of them stood up in the container and aggregated into Rectangular. After the change, they immediately sealed the glass vessel and brought it back to Samar."
"They don't know what happened in the future. Mr. Luo, the cheetah suddenly acted as usual. We still don't understand the reason. Perhaps, it really is the magical power of witchcraft in your country."
Luo Ren smiled, not knowing how to answer.
Before hanging up the phone, the man seemed to think of something: "By the way, there is one more thing that may be useful to you. The great-grandfather of the cheetah died shortly after they returned to Samar Island. He died naturally, when he died , holding the empty glassware with a smile on his face. According to the person who took care of him, he kept saying 'opened, really opened again'."
…
Fields, villages, and far away, farmers in twos and threes may be discussing this year's crop harvest. Nearby, a few of them have just recovered from a tortuous and weird story.
Luo Ren said: "The sixth evil slip came out on its own initiative and came to the door."
Perhaps, they have already sensed that the situation is not right, and they will no longer obediently stay where they are and be restrained.
Shen stick suddenly murmured: "Heaven has opened his eyes."
Yan Hongsha is strange: "What day will your eyes open?"
Does God have eyes? The cheetah got fierce Jane, it was like God was blind, how could the sky be opened.
The **** stick was stunned, his eyes were a little scattered, and he looked blankly at the Hummer parked in the distance.
"That day, Xiao Pocket brought back the book "Zi Bu Yu", and I said I wanted to study it, so I read it again."
"There is a very short story of 'opening the eyes of the sky'. It is said that there was a scholar who was sitting idle at home one day when he heard a bang. He looked up and saw a gap in the sky. , shaped like a boat, with bright lights shining inside, round like an axle, it took a long time to close."
"The person who called just now said that in the picture drawn by the old man, there was an eye in the sky. It really looks like...the sky opened the eye..."
