"I choose to kill!" The little fat man's words echoed sonorously in the empty living room of the hotel.
"Okay. If you choose the murder roll, you will be my friend, Mr. Qihuang. Take your money back." One of the old men smiled with a wrinkle on his forehead and gestured to the deaf-mute old man beside him: "Friend There is no need for money in between.”
Then the little fat man discovered that the deaf-mute old man next to him also had three horizontal lines on his forehead. They were really an interesting pair of old people.
The little fat man understood that this must be the assistance given to him by the closed-loop space, so he put away the money without ceremony and opened the scroll of murder. The picture on it was Su Lin's portrait.
Not long after, the deaf-mute old man with three horizontal stripes on his forehead also unfolded another scroll with the word "assistance" in front of the little fat man, and it turned out to be the little fat man in front of him.
I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why the two old men didn't get angry after the little fat man became arrogant and unreasonable.
They all need each other's assistance to complete their tasks.
"These soldiers are at your disposal, but I don't have much time. Now that the progress of the bracelet has been half completed, I need to kill the person on the scroll as soon as possible. Can you help me do it?" His time is up. It's more generous than Su Lin's.
The little fat man looked particularly serious at this moment. It was obvious that he was also the chosen breaker of the closed-loop space.
"That little mouse just ran away from us and can't escape far. Don't worry." The old man with a single pattern grabbed a tea cup from the table and crushed it with a bang. The tea spilled all over the floor. The deaf-mute old man said There was applause on the sidelines.
Since the violence of the single-striped old man was not directed at the intruder himself, the rules in the hotel room were not triggered.
Immediately, the deaf-mute old man gestured to the little fat man: "The map you want is in the hand of the little mouse. You can follow us closely. After we catch it, you can just follow the prompts to reach the designated place."
Seeing that the little fat man on the side was confused, the old man with a single pattern quickly translated for him, and added: "As for your soldiers, they are all incompetent wastes and burdens. You can just take care of them yourself. We can fly instead of running."
After finishing speaking, the two old men walked out of the hotel one after another. The old man with a single pattern even took out something like a rag, shook it slightly and then it grew into the wind. The two jumped up and flew in the air, and soon Then he stopped in front of Sulin Road.
At the same time, the little fat man also rode his horse in the direction indicated by the two old men and followed closely behind the two old men. However, he lost sight of the two old men in a blink of an eye and could only continue on his way relying on vague feelings.
With less than an hour left before the bracelet was closed, Sulin followed the direction of the map and came to the vicinity of a winery. According to the map's instructions, after passing the winery in front, he was in the direction of the woods outside the city.
There is even a beating copper bell placed near the winery. Every once in a while, someone goes to ring it to remind tourists not to miss the time to go home because of drinking.
The banner that flutters in the wind at the winery is also engraved with the words "Three bowls should not be entered into the forest", which looks like a martial artist fighting a tiger.
Su Lin had no intention of stopping at the wine shop and continued to speed up and move forward.
But when passing by the winery, for some unknown reason, the horse seemed to be frightened suddenly and could no longer be driven. Su Lin had no choice but to tie the horse to the winery and show it to the shopkeeper with the silver rewarded by Mr. Xue. He paid the fee for the horse, and then started walking alone.
After walking for a long time, when Su Lin saw the three-bowl-out-of-the-woods wine shop again, he felt a deep sense of doubt in his heart. He was obviously following the direction on the map, but he passed by here several times. Could it be that he was lost.
The nearby bell rang seven times in succession. Knowing that he was running out of time, Su Lin picked up a few special stones on the ground, placed them next to a nearby building to mark them, and quickly moved in the direction on the map. Go.
About five hundred meters away from the wine shop, Su Lin met an old man sweeping the floor in khaki clothes. He stopped and confirmed the way to the woods outside the city.
The old man put down his broom and pointed at Su Lin with random gestures, indicating that he was a deaf-mute and didn't know what Su Lin was talking about.
Su Lin folded a piece of wood directly from the old man's broom and used the dust on the ground as a drawing board to outline the appearance of the teaching forest. The old man smiled this time, nodded vigorously, and casually pointed in the side direction with his right hand.
"How could it be in the opposite direction?" Su Lin was stunned for a while. Thinking that it might be because Mr. Xue deliberately tampered with the map, he simply ran in the direction pointed by the old man.
The road was still the same as before, but Su Lin suddenly felt that the road under his feet was very rough and muddy. He was about to reach out and touch the ground, but suddenly another intersection appeared in front of him.
It was the same old man sweeping the floor in yellow clothes. At this moment, he took the initiative to reach out to Su Lin: "Hello, kid, I heard that my twin brother said that you were looking for the woods outside the city. His memory always makes mistakes. You passed Just turn left on this road and you'll be there."
"It turned out to be the twin brother, but he went left again?" After Su Lin thanked him briefly, he suppressed the surprise in his heart and had to follow the old man's instructions and turn back the way he came.
Ten minutes later, he saw the deaf-mute old man again. He walked over to ask again, but the deaf-mute old man gestured and said that he did not have a twin brother at all. He had been sweeping this street alone for more than ten years.
Considering the two contradictions in the old man's words, Su Lin wondered if it was the same old man taking a side road to fool him.
But then he noticed a slight detail on the faces of the two identical old men, that is, when the old man in front of him spoke, a vertical line appeared on his forehead, while the previous deaf-mute man had three horizontal lines. Pattern.
For some reason, Su Lin always felt that the two old men seemed to have met somewhere before, but due to time constraints, he didn't think much about it and continued on his way.
At this moment, the bell next to him suddenly rang again, and Su Lin counted the times in his heart.
Seven times? His eyes widened for a moment, wondering if he was hallucinating something. I suppressed the absurd feeling in my heart and continued walking forward.
But the strange thing is that, except for the two old sweepers who met many times throughout the afternoon, there was no one on the entire trail. The earth markers he had reserved in advance were also discovered one after another. At the same time, the road under his feet became more and more rugged.
"What's going on? Who is lying!" He had obviously gone in the opposite direction, why would he appear here again and again.
Just after Su Lin walked not far away, the old man with a single forehead mark suddenly appeared on his face. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. In an instant, his whole body appeared above the sky, joining the deaf-mute old man from before. one place.
The two old men were seen controlling a vertical wall with both hands, and the canvas on the wall moved synchronously with Sulin's movements. Every time Sulin turned in one direction, the number of walls controlled by the old men would be one more.
A labored smile appeared on the deaf-mute old man's face. He seemed to enjoy the frightened look on Su Lin's face. He gestured with his fingers and asked, "Why don't you just kill him!"
The corners of the latter's lips raised in a funny way, "This is just a mouse. Kill it when you've had enough fun."
