At this moment, Xiao Xiao experienced a long period of chaos, feeling that everything he heard and saw was absurd and bizarre.
Chen Bomuna's horrifying voice echoed in his mind, occupying his thoughts for a long time: "The thing is so simple. I don't know how you got here and what you went through. Maybe you will I feel that the process is a little strange, and there are a lot of coincidences, because according to normal logic, no matter what, it shouldn't be you who walked in here with the key."
"But the result is obvious. The one who came in is You, which means the answer is you."
"You don't have to ask me. I am just the gatekeeper left behind by the master. The purpose is to guard his inheritance and explain everything to the heirs. As for the contents of the safe, what kind of situation influenced you to come here? I don’t know what form it takes now, I can only be sure that you must have seen it, and it is still following you.”
"And now that you are here, then..."
"...Excuse me, are you ready to inherit the plan left by me?"
"..."
"..."
Yang Jia waited quietly outside the small building. Behind him was this deep city, with tall buildings and bright lights.
She subconsciously took out the cigarette, but then put it back.
The small building in front of her was lonely in her eyes. There was only a faint light seeping out from the bottom of the door. She might just raise her hand gently to push the door open and see the old president staying. Something to see what Xiao Xiao is doing now.
But in the end she chose to wait patiently and stand quietly in the shadows.
The time seemed to last longer than she expected. Xiao Xiao finally opened the door and walked out, his hands empty.
His expression still looked very calm, even unusually calm, so that he seemed to have a mysterious temperament.
"Let's go!"
He smiled at Yang Jia, it looked natural, but there was a hint of undetectable panic.
Yang Jia was surprised and looked past him to the small building.
As Xiao Xiao left, the wooden door of the small building also closed, and the face of the gatekeeper, Uncle Chen, disappeared into the small building.
Immediately afterwards, the small building collapsed into a pile of flesh and blood, and then it was propped up high again. Walls, windows, electronic access control and iron doors appeared. Everything just seemed to be an illusion. The small building completely disappeared, and the entire building disappeared. The building once again turned into the ordinary residential building it was before, including the residents who had secretly looked down through the windows before, and they once again appeared alive in the building.
Yang Jia left the community with Xiao Xiao without asking any questions and got into her white SUV.
In just such a short time, the white car body had already been scratched seven or eight times by naughty children who didn't know where they came from.
Of course, maybe you should be lucky that at least you didn’t puncture your tires?
Yang Jia ignored the scratches and the gloating and laughing child hiding behind the corner in the distance, opened the car door, got in, and started the car.
They were extremely quiet as they left the neighborhood.
Logically speaking, the two of them came here just to get the contents of the safe, but Xiao Xiao walked out empty-handed. Yang Jia should have asked, but she refrained from asking. Xiao Xiao, who should have explained immediately, also He didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until the car drove away from this neighborhood and the gorgeous neon signs on both sides were reflected in the car window that he suddenly exhaled.
"Give me a cigarette."
He raised his head, looked ahead, and whispered.
Yang Jia handed him the cigarette case. Xiao Xiao got it, but was slightly startled: "Aren't you going to light it this time?"
Forget it, forgive her...
He lit the cigarette, took a slow drag, and then spit it out.
Then he frowned and said to Yang Jia, "I have two things to tell you."
Yang Jia nodded: "You tell me."
Xiao Xiao paused and said: "First, the things in the safe, or in other words, the secret compass..."
"No longer in the small building."
"The old president deceived everyone and made people think that the compass was hidden by him in the small building. Therefore, after the hell organization killed him, it had no other choice but to leave temporarily. Therefore, the other knights of Black Gate City and the foreign land No matter how confused people are, no one has ever thought of finding this thing, but in fact, the compass has always been in Black Gate City, but I don’t know what it looks like.”
"..."
Yang Jia's pupils shrank slightly, but she restrained herself from showing too strong an expression.
"second……"
Xiao Xiao spoke slowly: "I finally know what the old president always wanted to do during his lifetime."
Yang Jiadao: "What?"
Xiao Xiao whispered: "He is building a big ship. He calls it Noah. His plan is that after building this big ship, he will bring all his companions and followers, all the strangers who are still willing to believe in hope, with him." Come on, let’s escape this absurd world together.”
Yang Jia was slightly absent-minded.
"The big ship Noah..."
She believed what Xiao Xiao said almost immediately, without any doubt.
Because this is indeed what the old president would do.
In my heart, I felt a little anxious for a moment and asked, "Where are the others?"
"I don't know anything else."
Xiao Xiao shook his head and said slowly: "I just heard Uncle Chen talk about this matter, and I also saw what the old president left behind."
"But in terms of what he plans to do, what he has accomplished, and what difficulties he still faces."
"Even where I got that road guide, I have no idea."
"..."
"Why?"
Yang Jia acted a little unbelievable.
Since the old president had a clear plan, what he left behind would definitely not be so vague.
Xiao Xiao's answer left her speechless: "Because they want me to inherit this plan, but I'm not ready yet."
“Because I wasn’t prepared, I didn’t have to understand.”
"..."
Yang Jia was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said, "Are you going to go back to the small building again?"
Xiao Xiao understood that when Yang Jia said he would return to the small building, he was naturally preparing to come back to understand the plan in detail and truly inherit it. However, he remained silent for a moment before saying to Yang Jia: "I need some time to think about it. It’s up to you to decide, but for other people in Black Gate City, what they are more concerned about may just be where that thing is now..."
In fact, this may be the most important question.
Xiao Xiao didn't know if Yang Jia, who had been waiting to get the contents of the safe, would believe his words.
Perhaps, under normal circumstances, they would prefer to believe that they hid that thing?
However, it seems that I am just worrying too much.
After hearing what he said, Yang Jia just nodded slightly and said: "You don't need to consider other people. You are the president of Black Gate City now. You have inherited the first control over that thing, and you have the power." Let other people look into this matter.”
"As for the specifics..."
"...Now that we have confirmed that it is in Black Gate City, there is always a way to find it, right?"
"I believe that the old president will not make some meaningless arrangements."
"..."
"..."
She believed it.
But Xiao Xiao sighed in his heart.
Until the moment before talking to Uncle Chen, he was still thinking that the principle was not to hide anything from Yang Jia. He would tell her whatever he saw and knew. But after hearing those words, he had to change. He had an idea, because he couldn't understand why the so-called road sign, the so-called compass pointing to the truth, guided him here.
He vaguely felt that things were not that simple, so he didn't want to say it in advance.
As for the compass…
He didn't fully tell Yang Jia that this thing was indeed in Black Gate City, and more importantly, it was right next to him.
I must have seen it before, but I just don’t know its true appearance.
So, which one is it?
Butcher? The record player lady? Dog of Thorns? Or a silver bloodthirsty pistol?
Or maybe there are other things that I have seen many times, but I just didn't realize how magical they are?
A huge sense of absurdity and uncertainty flooded into Xiao Xiao's heart.
This was one of the reasons why he did not immediately agree to Uncle Chen's plan to succeed the old president Noah.
According to Uncle Chen, he is the only person chosen to inherit the old president's plan, but why is it him?
I can understand the logic of Mr. Ye and Yang Jia's behavior in pushing themselves as actors to the position of president, but they cannot accept that the behaviors they thought were independent choices and normal advancement were actually affected by an invisible force. What is the difference between myself and the aboriginal people in the city who are affected by the mysterious will and are always immersed in pain and despair?
That's why he left without hesitation. He needed to figure out some things before deciding on others.
But, where to find it...
Thinking silently in his heart, Xiao Xiao cast his gaze out the car window.
This huge and deep city began to appear abnormally distorted when he was slightly trance-like. He could see the vehicles driving on both sides of the road, all kinds of drivers and passengers inside the cars, and some people who were furious while driving. While shouting and cursing, you can also see the person on the passenger seat lying down to control the gear, and you can see that someone has a problem with the brakes but is still accelerating.
The ability of the third stage of the clairvoyant gave him almost the ability to see through the city.
But what about yourself?
Why do I feel like I can’t understand myself at all?
"Ding Lingling..."
But just when Xiao Xiao was lost in thought, the phone suddenly rang, and the delicate voices of the big snake sisters came from it:
"Young President, what you arranged for us to do has been investigated clearly."
"The man who was secretly watching us in the bar was an Aboriginal man and a private detective."
"He's been asked to understand what's happening to you."
"Interestingly, do you know who commissioned him?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao's heart moved slightly and he asked, "Who?"
Sister Da She's voice seemed to be filled with excitement and curiosity: "Your father, Xiao Zhigong."
I originally planned to update two chapters today, but I have to sort out the plot in the afternoon, so I will only update one chapter. Of course, I will upload it if I can code it out. I have to reflect on this. Although I didn’t have any May Day travel plans, my old classmate came to Qingdao and I still drank with him for two days...
(End of chapter)
