Seven Evil Slips Chapter 6:
Like Kiyo, Yan Hongsha was accompanied by Ji Jian into the Guansi Mirage.
Like Cao Yanhua, Yan Hongsha felt that Ji Jian was full of nonsense and was not credible, but unlike Cao Yanhua, she was too embarrassed to hit her.
"That vicious Jane," she said, "is cute and silly, and she speaks in a child's tone when she talks to me. There is an old saying in the world, don't reach out and hit a smiling person, she has a thick skin, and she can't even scold her." Go."
So let it follow.
This vicious Jane, like a chatterbox, never stopped talking all the way.
"The words were also inconsistent. One moment they urged me to leave, saying that there was not enough time, and the next moment they asked me to stop and asked me to go into Boying to do something. I was really overwhelmed by it."
Sure enough, when it comes to Hongsha, the fierce Jane has another set of rhetoric, Cao Yanhua is confused: "Then which sentence is true?"
Kiyo thought for a while: "The key to the matter is not telling the truth or lying. The purpose of the fierce Jane is not to lie, but to mess up the whole situation."
"It's like a question with five parts. If everyone solves it correctly, you are right. If one person is wrong, you lose everything."
"So along the way, Fierce Jane simply said something according to her heart, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false. And I think they are communicating with each other along the way."
Yan Hongsha resented: "Yes, no wonder they are laughing and joking, like cats and mice, they must communicate with each other, even if you go the right way, they are not in a hurry - as long as they lead the other person to the wrong way."
Kiyo asked Yan Hongsha: "What did you change?"
Yan Hongsha suddenly stopped talking, and after a while, her eye circles gradually turned red.
Said: "Kiyo, I want my parents not to have a car accident."
Although she has been loved by her grandfather and uncle in every possible way since she was a child, Yan Hongsha has always had a knot in her heart about the loss of her parents.
"I saw that before the car accident, my father was driving, and my mother was holding me in the back seat. I couldn't help it, so I went into Boying. Jane told me that I could be attached to the original one. On Little Red Sand."
Yan Hongsha did just that.
"My mother is holding me, Kiyo, I think it's the first time in my life that I was hugged by her. It feels so good, and my mother smells so good."
She took a deep breath greedily: "My mother is much prettier than me, and compared to her, I just look crooked."
But she couldn't change anything after all.
"Too young. At that time, she was only a little over a year old, and she couldn't speak. Even if she was attached to Xiao Hongsha, she couldn't speak—how many words rushed out of her throat, just crying hysterically. "
"My mother kept coaxing me, and my father kept looking back, asking if I was hungry or if I was sick. I was distracted by coming and going, and then...the car accident happened."
Yan Hongsha covered her eyes with her hands, and kept sniffing her nose. The tip of her nose was red. It was different before, but this time, even in Boying, the funnel began to leak sand.
Kiyo was a little uneasy.
After a while, Yan Hongsha continued: "I'm fine, my mother protected me with her body."
When the accident happened, she was still too young. Over the years, her memory of her parents has been blurred. When I asked my grandfather, Old Man Yan, he kept speaking vaguely. , Tian confiscated.
A plain description is far less shocking than a personal experience.
Cao Yanhua advised her: "Sister Hongsha, don't be sad."
Yan Hongsha wiped away her tears: "I'm not sad, I'm very happy, my mother loves me so much, she tried her best to keep me alive, I think I'm very lucky."
"However, I don't understand what's going on. The death of my parents obviously happened a long time ago. Why now, it seems to be caused by my random interference."
"So, I didn't dare to do anything anymore. No matter how much that fierce stick nagged me, I kept moving forward. Anyway, I don't have any regrets to make up for until..."
Kiyo interjected softly: "Until you met your uncle?"
Yan Hongsha bit her lip: "I don't want my uncle to die. Although my uncle is a loafer, does not seek to make progress, and almost ruined his family property, he has always been very kind to me."
She tried her best to prevent Yan Jiuxiao from going to Wuzhu Village, and then went to find her grandfather, old man Yan: "Uncle's debt, let's find a way to pay it off, even if we sell the house and land—Grandpa, don't touch the entrance of Sizhai Village." Bad-hearted Bao Jing, who harmed innocent people, I can't sleep just thinking about it, after all these years, can you really sleep well?"
Before old man Yan changed his color, she turned around and slammed the door, crossed Bo Ying, and returned to the corridor.
Things that made her hair stand on end happened. The next wave shadow, and the next one, completely deviated from the appearance in her memory. There was no Zheng Mingshan bringing Kiyo to the door, and there was no two people rushing to five beads.
She understood that this is like a series of chain reactions—uncle is not missing, grandpa does not need to use Zheng Mingshan's relationship to find any bodyguards, and she will not meet Kiyo unless...
Looking back, the wave shadow that has been experienced is faint, and it is about to disappear in the darkness. It was too late, Yan Hongsha made a decisive decision, and rushed back to the mansion from the wave shadow.
She said: "If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will walk towards the mountain. If you don't come to me, I can come to you. I remember this bar in Lijiang, so I bought a ticket and came here .”
When it was time to get together and leave, I asked about Mudai, and Uncle Zhang said, "That's our little proprietress, she's out on business, and she'll be back soon in the next two days."
Are you coming back soon? Then the safest way is to "wait", Yan Hongsha made a decisive decision: "Uncle, then you can accept me as a part-time job, no salary, you can do it upside down."
…
***
Kiyo asked Cao Yanhua to find a pen and paper, ready to discuss with everyone and outline the key points of the matter. While waiting, he looked up out of the window, and the snowy peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was no longer visible.
A trace of strangeness flashed across my mind, but I had no time to delve into it—the paper and pen were already in front of me.
Yan Hongsha was very embarrassed: "Muyo, can we figure it out? I'm not good at this kind of analysis."
In the past, when the five of them acted together, she was too used to letting Luo Ren or Wan San use her brains.
Kiyo said: "Hongsha, we must use our brains, Luo Ren and Shi Wan didn't come out, do you know that?"
Yan Hongsha remained silent, but Cao Yanhua was quite confident in his IQ: "The three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang, are we not as good as the cobbler?"
Kiyo drew a pentagon on the paper, with five edges, and marked the five characters of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in turn. Draw a passage leading to the center on each edge, and the center Made a triangle.
"According to the shape of Guansi Mirage, we all walk in from the outside, through the corridor, so I think that the 'end point' mentioned by Ji Jian refers to the central position represented by this triangle."
Cao Yanhua narrowed his eyes to look at the pentagon: "Little master, are we now at the end?"
Kiyo said: "I think, this end point does not refer to space, or even time."
She explained: "The mirage of Guansi is a fantasy, which belongs to the five of us. At first, we were separated. If we couldn't meet, we would probably wander aimlessly among the so-called 10,000 possibilities— —But after I met Cao Pangpang, there was no road in the front and back of the tunnel, and the end was the end, which meant that the illusion between me and Cao Pangpang came to an end.”
Cao Yanhua nodded fiercely. He thought it made sense. Before he met Kiyo, he basically forgot about the meeting on the ropeway. The illusion is over.
So, the end point does not lie in how long or how far you walk, but in understanding yourself.
Yan Hongsha reacted: "So, I found you, so I have reached the end?"
Kiyo nodded, pointing to the three-person clepsydra floating in mid-air: "Our clepsydra began to leak sand after entering this heavy wave shadow, and Xiaoqi said that when the sand leaks out, we are in real time. The moment when the inside stagnates—I guess, at that time, the door to go out will appear.”
That is the connection between the illusion and the real world.
Yan Hongsha took a deep breath, there was only a small handful left in everyone's clepsydra, the fine sand was rustling endlessly, and it was about to be cleaned up.
She became anxious: "But Luo Ren and Shi San haven't come yet."
"Yes, but Hongsha, you reminded me of one thing."
"When Boying couldn't come in and out at will, you bought a ticket from Kunming and came to Lijiang by car."
Cao Yanhua reacted instantly: "Little master, you want to..."
Kido said categorically: "We are looking for Luo Ren, looking for ten thousand, through various methods. Posting posts, missing people notices, trouble Wanfenghuo, we will find them and help them to end their illusion."
Cao Yanhua was stunned for a few seconds before he understood and slapped the table: "Success!"
He turned to greet Hongsha again: "Sister Hongsha, help me."
There is a computer in the bar, and I went up to move it down for Mudai's own use. Various social networks, large forums, Weibo, Cao Yanhua's typing like flying, first drafted a missing person notice, and wrote the reward one million.
Yan Hongsha objected instinctively: "Isn't this nonsense, we don't have a million."
Cao Yanhua said: "Anyway, it's an illusion, so what's wrong with writing 10 million, after we find someone, we'll go back to the real world."
That's right.
Kiyo walked to the window and called Wan Fenghuo. The sun was shining and the weather was clear. On such a day with high visibility, how could he not see Jade Dragon Snow Peak?
The call was connected, she declared her identity, and asked Wan Fenghuo for help. All expenses were charged to Ms. Huo Zihong.
Wan Fenghuo said: "There is no beginning and no end, only the name is reported, and there is no way to find it. You must at least give some characteristics."
Features? Kiyo's mind turned quickly, pondering.
Luo Ren's biggest regret in this life should be Uncle Luo Wenmiao and the brothers who were born and died in the Philippines. Assuming Luo Ren's intervention is smooth, after saving Luo Wenmiao, he will no longer have contact with Ji Jian, and will start to forget the five people Some related things, but the trajectory of the Philippines will continue, so the biggest possibility now is that Luo Ren is in the Philippines.
She said: "Here for Luo Ren, you can find two lines, one is Ningxia Xiaoshanghe, ask Luo Wenmiao or Luo Pinting, and ask if they have contact with Luo Ren; the other is to inquire directly from the Philippines, Mindanao Island, He is a mercenary..."
There was a chirping sound from the microphone, as if the signal was not good, Kiyo walked a few steps outside, and suddenly felt that something was missing from his sight.
It is the farthest part of the ancient city, and the corners of the cornices and roofs that stick to the sky seem to have disappeared.
Wan Fenghuo seemed to say something, but Kiyo didn't pay attention, she stared at the distance, it was true, those densely packed houses, layer by layer, disappeared in front of her.
Those towering signal towers, tall trees, low-altitude clouds, and distant telephone poles are all disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mobile phone was disconnected, and Cao Yanhua shouted behind him: "Hey, the Internet is gone, little master, the Internet was suddenly disconnected..."
His cry stopped abruptly, and his eyes were attracted by the situation outside the window.
Where the snow peaks, houses, trees, and clouds disappeared, yellow sand rolled up like thick clouds, like a sandstorm, and like a strong wind. Huo Zihong passed by, and Kiyo called her: "Red Aunt, this is..."
Huo Zihong looked back at her and smiled, the corners of her lips curled up, suddenly the yellow sand scattered, the strong wind broke the glass and rushed in, blowing Huo Zihong into a cloud of scattered sand.
Not only Huo Zihong, but also the bartender, Uncle Zhang, the table, and the stool all turned into sand in an instant. .
It was the clepsydra of three people, all of which had been leaked.
What will happen when the clepsydra runs out and the shadow of the sun stops moving?
…
Kiyo stood in the middle of the cold ruins, where only the broken tiles and ruins remained, surrounded by mist, and there was a slender and out-of-proportion figure, smiling strangely in the mist.
This is an isolated high platform surrounded by cliffs, with pontoon bridges extending in the air in five directions, leading to the distance covered by thick fog.
Yan Hongsha suddenly pushed Cao Yanhua tremblingly, and said in a low voice: "Fatty Cao, door!"
It's the door, the back door of the bar, the whole bar is collapsed, down, in ruins. Only that door has no door frame or side frame, but it still stands upright.
As if in response to Yan Hongsha's words, just as she finished speaking, the door creaked and slowly opened from the inside to the outside.
