Seven Evil Slips Chapter 23:

Luo Ren has been waiting for Zheng Mingshan's call, fidgeting, the time is not fast and slow, here he can only wait in vain, but elsewhere, many things may have happened.

What if something happened to Kiyo during this period?

When the phone rang, Luo Ren picked it up almost instantly, and was disappointed: it wasn't Zheng Mingshan, it was Wan Fenghuo.

Luo Ren couldn't get excited, so he asked him to make a long story short: "Is there any important discovery?"

The tone is not very good, Wan Fenghuo is very knowledgeable: "I will tell you what you want to listen to, and I will let someone contact you later if you don't have time."

Wan Fenghuo is considered a "leader" regardless of his size, and occasionally makes his subordinates put on airs.

"You say."

"It was found that the generation of cheetah ancestors who went to Nanyang was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, we have always been surprised that people who went to Nanyang are mostly concentrated in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang, which are rich in origin. Very few Some people left their homes."

Luo Ren hummed: "So?"

"I didn't want to leave on my own initiative, I killed someone, the crime happened, and I escaped."

Luo Ren was a little surprised: "You continue."

Listening to the sound, Wan Fenghuo knew that Luo Ren was a little interested in the news, and he felt a sense of accomplishment for a while: "It starts with the river in the town, and that river comes from outside. The water that flows in gathers at the east end of the town to form a large pond, which is now called Xiacheng Pond, but according to the older generation, it was originally called Qiren Pond.”

Luo Ren's heart trembled.

Seven? He is extremely sensitive to the number "seven" now.

"Back then, because of inexplicable reasons, seven people drowned in the pond one after another within a period of time. I did it, but I can't find it out."

Luo Ren felt that there seemed to be a thread in his mind: "The murderer is the ancestor of the cheetah?"

"Yes, it's his bad luck. He was never caught when he committed the crime, but that year, for some unknown reason, four or five foreigners came to the town. They should all be green forest roads and bold , Careful, skillful, and pulled that person out. The tribe locked him in the ancestral hall, probably to pick a day to serve the family law, who knew that the person ran away while taking advantage of this gap, and never went back .”

So that's the case, this run is really far, and it went straight to Nanyang.

"Later, a bridge was built in the town, and this case was engraved on the stepping stones of a bridge to warn the villagers—thanks to this, this matter has been passed down from generation to generation, and some old people still remember it."

Luo Ren pondered for a while, and asked him: "Those four or five outsiders, can you find anything?"

"Difficult. According to the narration that has been handed down, it's a town that 'speaking with a northern accent, pretending to be a flower seller'."

Hung up the phone, Luo Ren's heart beat a little violently.

Yan San hasn't come back yet, he called Cao Yanhua and Yan Hongsha to talk in the corner, Aoki from a distance glanced at them, but didn't come over - he has a unique pride: don't you ask me to listen, then I will too Not uncommon to listen to.

Luo Ren briefly explained the matter and asked them: "Do you have any ideas, does it sound familiar?"

Yan Hongsha opened her mouth half-opened, was stunned for a long time, and said, "Familiar. It sounds like the five of us, Ming Dynasty version."

Luo Ren nodded: "It's been hundreds of years, and the stories that have been circulating, the information may not be accurate, but it has reference value. Wan Fenghuo said, 'four or five foreigners came to the town', I can assume a definite number, no Four or five, five."

Five, exactly corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, just like a small team they built on a whim.

Cao Yanhua also said: "The role of Cheetah's ancestor is a bit like Yafeng."

That's right, at that time they got the fierce letter from Qingshan and Yafeng, and they didn't know what to do with them. At that time, those five people might have also got the murderous letter, and then handed over the person to the elders of the ancestral hall in the town, but they didn't expect that person to escape.

Luo Ren said: "I didn't know the exact year when the ominous slip appeared in that town in Zhejiang, but based on the fact that it was the same as the giant underwater painting in Wuzhu Village, I simply speculated that the ominous slip was transferred from the town to Wuzhu. .Now it seems that the situation is more complicated than I thought."

More complicated? Yanhong Sand Brain is not enough anymore.

Luo Ren smiled: "Perhaps back then, hundreds of years ago, the same thing happened to us now, and there were five other people who were chasing down the murderous Jane like us."

He motioned to Yan Hongsha to give him the order and pen stuck in the waiter's bib, flipped the notebook over, and drew two Big Dippers, one vertical and one horizontal, surrounded by a Chinese sign map outline.

First point to the vertical one: "This is the location distribution of the evils on our trip."

He pointed to the horizontal one again: "And this one, probably hundreds of years ago, when the fierce Jane at that time evolved."

Back then, hundreds of years ago, was the fierce Jane wreaking havoc? And there are five other people, like them, who subdued the fierce Jane?

The similarities and connections diffused in the vast space and time made Yan Hongsha's arms suddenly tremble.

Cao Yanhua timidly asked: "Then have they succeeded in subduing them?"

Luo Ren replied: "It's hard to say, maybe it was successful, but after that, because of something, the Phoenix Luan buckle was untied again. It may not be successful, the fierce Jane continued to migrate, and formed today's pattern .”

Cao Yanhua took a breath, and after a while murmured: "Cheetah is so capable, and coupled with fierce Jane, it is much more difficult than Biafeng."

Luo Ren said: "It's not that it's much more difficult, it's that it's much more difficult. Haven't you noticed that there is a particularly obvious difference between this matter and what we encountered before?"

Is there? Cao Yanhua guessed wildly: "Because that person went to Nanyang? He went abroad?"

Luo Ren lowered his voice: "It's because seven people drowned in that pool of seven people in a period of time, seven murder cases."

"Do you still remember that Yafeng said that many of the secrets of the fierce Jane are related to seven, and if seven is full, he also said that there is a 'number of seven'."

——In the case of the fishing line puppet, Luo Ren remembered that there were three known murders.

——Wuzhu Village, the number of deaths is unknown, and the village has been abandoned for a long time, even if Hongsha's uncle Yan Jiuxiao is included, there may not be seven.

——Sizhai is in the mountains, with fewer people.

——In Nantian County, Xiang Silan may have influenced many people with the help of the Tengma carving platform, but there may still be very few people who died.

——Caojia Village, Yafeng wanted to kill them, but fortunately, everyone retreated unharmed.

Only this town conveyed accurate information, "seven people were drowned in succession", and the ancestor of the cheetah subtly stopped after that, until those outsiders tracked down here.

Why seven, not eight, or nine? Yafeng once said, "I was born different from you" and "Because I have a bad heart." If she also completes the Seven Stories, will there be any changes?

The three of them fell silent together, the door rang, and 13,000 came back from delivering food. Seeing them gathered together, they walked towards this end wonderingly.

The phone rang again, it was an unknown number, Luo Ren picked it up.

There is an almost sharp sneer on the other end.

"Rom, keep smiling, don't let the people around you see the difference, leave the bar casually, don't try to wink or gesture to anyone, my eyes are staring at you, you have a place to do it No, I'll stab your little beauty."

Luo Ren smiled at 13,000 who came over, and said: "I went to the bathroom, I just talked about something, let Hongsha tell you about it."

He walked to the back of the bar, and when he passed Aoki, he said: "Going out to eat at night? For a change."

Casual questioning, as usual.

When going around the stairs at the back, his face suddenly turned cold, and his pace quickened, almost pushing open the back door and rushing out, asking: "What do you want?"

"The action is very fast. After thinking for a long time, I realized that it was your little beauty who leaked the news. Luo, the feeling of being played by others makes me very unhappy."

What do you mean?

Luo Ren first thought that the cheetah was saying that he came out quickly, and then he realized that the cheetah knew about Kiyo's delivery of location information.

How would she know? Zheng Mingshan didn't call back, or did something happen to Zheng Mingshan?

Luo Ren felt his back was tense, and Cheetah said "very unhappy", she must vent, she is a person who doesn't like to lose.

He could hardly hold his breath: "What do you want?"

Cheetah said: "Luo, I want to see you."

The phone hung up, the video request came in, Luo Ren gritted his teeth, and still clicked through, and a picture appeared on the other end.

The cheetah is outside, in the woods, with a gloomy face but with a strange smile, it takes off its sunglasses, revealing its eyes covered with black leather blindfolds.

After the tragic battle, this was the first time Luo Ren saw a cheetah.

"Long time no see, Luo."

The camera moved away, and the scene quickly turned around around him. It was deep in the forest, surrounded by trees. Before Luo Ren understood what was going on, the camera suddenly turned to the ground.

He saw that someone was filling up the last shovel, which was a... pit for burying people.

Luo Ren's blood rushed to the top of his skull, his legs were almost uncontrollable, and the cheetah's face appeared on the screen again: "I just showed you the surrounding environment, come and save her, Luo. If you win again, I will consider giving her the chance to turn the wheel, I keep my word."

She giggled and hung up the phone.

Cold sweat dripped from Luo Ren's forehead, he quickly looked around to see all the surrounding terrain, and quickly played back the fragmented scene he had just seen in his mind.

——Forest, the terrain is relatively flat, and the area is not small in terms of depth. In my impression, there are indeed several forests near and far.

——Cheetah let him play this game, which shows that this game is difficult, but not impossible. She would not choose a forest far away, so that he would not be able to reach it at all, and it would be meaningless.

——There are two places that are closer, one is outside the city, and the other is halfway up the mountain. The road outside the city is easy to walk, and he can run wildly all the way. Most likely in the middle of the mountain, because at this time there are many tourists, and he is blocked everywhere, even though the distance is close. The cheetah would like to watch this kind of "burning inside and outside".

Luo Ren no longer hesitated, and ran away.

I have never thought before that there are so many tourists in the ancient city. Those who pose, take pictures, and set up tripods, even meet the elderly tourist group, with silver-haired tourist hats, who dare not push hard.

Luo Ren shouted: "Get out of the way!"

I don't care about someone scolding behind me, and I don't care about kicking over the roadside stalls. The big deal is to lose money afterwards, but Kiyo can't wait. I seem to have been trained in the Philippines before. People who are buried alive have a period of survival. , how long is it? Minutes, or seconds?

There was chaos in my mind, and I moved forward mechanically, and then forward again.

——Luo, if you win again, I will consider giving her the chance to turn the wheel.

Turntable?

In Medan, there are many rumors about Cheetah. She is so moody, ordinary people can never understand her mind, and someone who offends her is sent to the front. I was in a good mood that day and said, "Come on, why not turn the dial."

Like the kind of lucky turntable that is common on TV, two points, either life or death.

The man peed his pants in fright, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and with a flick of the pointer, the rotary needle rotated on the disk, stopped slowly, and actually turned to life.

Cheetah waved and said, "Let's go."

It really let go.

But most of the time, her turntable is not a choice of life and death, the direction of the pointer can decide, it is a way of death, or another way of death.

Luo Ren's hair tightened, and as he stumbled, the forest was already in sight.

It’s not dense, but it’s very big, and the branches are dense. It’s not the season of falling leaves, but this forest is self-sufficient all year round. There are thick branches and leaves on the ground-the cheetah will definitely use the branches and leaves on the ground to camouflage. He will not let him easily find the traces of digging.

Standing at any point at a little depth to look at it, it is similar to the picture that the cheetah let him see at that time.

Where the **** is it? where?

Luo Ren knelt down almost crazily, quickly pushed aside the branches and leaves on the ground with his hands, there was none in one place, and there was still no place in the other place, sweat dripped from Luo Ren's forehead, suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind.

He has been to this forest.

That night, he cried Kiyo in fear in this forest, and he also ate her elbow, and he couldn't sleep well for several nights due to the pain.

The time is counted in seconds, where is Kiyo, she may stop breathing soon, this second, or the next second.

Luo Ren gritted his teeth and continued to sweep the branches and leaves. For a moment, his emotions suddenly reached a critical point, and he yelled: "Kiyo!"

Unexpectedly, there was a response. A frightened pheasant flew out from behind a tree, looking straight at him with two small eyes.

This is... Cao Jiefang?
