Chapter 489 Above the Posa (24) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
The pharmacy suddenly became lively in the early morning.
Several members of the exploration team who stayed behind rushed to the room. Zhao Yinglai and Chang William, who were sleeping on the chairs, were also awakened by the noise and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.
The room where Fang Sha and Cai Hong were imprisoned was a small warehouse in the pharmacy. It had no windows and no other doors. It was filled with useless things. The bamboo bed was moved out from here.
Last night, everyone observed the rooms in the pharmacy and finally cleaned up this small warehouse before throwing the two unconscious people in.
In order to prevent the two men from escaping, the warehouse door was even locked.
Zhao Yinglai yawned loudly and watched the three people enter the room. When they were almost shocked, he stood up from the stool and looked over as if he had been woken up: "What's wrong?"
"The person locked in the room is missing," said a hot-tempered member of the team, "Did you hear any noise last night?"
"No movement...Nothing," Zhao Yinglai shook his head, and then curiously stood on tiptoe to look inside, pretending to have no idea what was going on. "Escaped? Wasn't the door locked?"
"Yes, the door is locked," Hot-tempered said, puzzled. "When I opened it just now, the door was locked. The key is still in our hands."
Even if these two people ran out, it would be difficult to lock the door again without the key, right?
"And the pharmacy door was locked from the inside in the morning," another more careful team member added, "and they couldn't have locked the pharmacy door from the outside after they left."
"What the hell?" Hot-tempered cursed in a low voice, "How did this guy run away?"
There were two door locks and eight people sleeping in the room, yet someone managed to escape. If it wasn't a ghost, there's no way to explain it.
"Um...can I take a look?" Zhao Yinglai pointed into the room.
"Wait a minute," the three team members frowned and began to search the room tacitly, "We need to see if there is any secret passage or hidden door here. Oh, can this cabinet be moved?"
"It should be possible? I remember that this cabinet was not nailed to the wall," Zhao Yinglai thought for a while, "You can just move it away and put it back to its original position, but I don't think those two people escaped from here."
The abandoned medicine cabinets in the pharmacy warehouse are not only taller than a person, but also made of very solid materials. In order to move them, not only do you need more than two people to help push them, but they also make a loud noise.
Even if there was a secret passage behind the scenes, it was impossible for anyone to get out from here last night. Moreover, she knew very well that these two people probably did not run away, but Fang Sha had already revealed the truth that this was the underworld, and then she and Cai Hong were eliminated together by the rules.
The three team members began to clean up the debris in the warehouse, and searched around to try to find a secret passage or something like that. They moved the various old tables and cabinets piled together in the room around, causing a lot of noise and preventing people from sleeping.
Bai Jinshu rubbed his forehead, looked at the time, and simply stood up from the stool.
Judging from the current situation, these team members will not stop until they turn the entire room upside down. It is impossible to sleep, so we might as well get up and see how Cai Hong and Fang Sha disappeared.
After sleeping on his stomach for the whole night, Bai Jinshu suddenly stood up and felt his whole body crackling. Fortunately, he didn't sleep for too long. Although his waist was a little sore, it had not reached the extent that would affect his activities.
He lowered his head and yawned, then looked at Huai Jiamu who was still lying on the bed: "Do you want some water?"
Huai Jiamu was surprised: "Water?"
What do you want that for?
"I've seen people on TV asking for water as the first thing they wake up from a coma," Bai Jinshu said sincerely, "I don't have any experience in taking care of the wounded, so why don't you let your teammates do it?"
Without waiting for Huai Jiamu to refuse, he shouted to the three team members in the room: "Your captain seems to be awake and wants to drink water."
The three team members ran out quickly.
"Captain, are you okay?" This is the more stable one.
"That bastard Xiao Guo is waiting for us to settle the score when we get back!" This is the one with the most explosive temper.
"Captain, do you want to drink water? Do you want me to help you up? Do you want to eat something? You are injured in the abdomen. I will find you a straw." This is the more careful one.
Huai Jiamu was instantly surrounded by his three teammates. Beside the bed, the instigator yawned leisurely, waved at him, made a "thank you" gesture with his mouth, and walked towards the warehouse which was finally empty.
Huai Jiamu: ...
It turned out that he was a tool who transferred three team members away to give Bai Jinshu the opportunity to investigate the scene first.
"Captain, Captain? Do you still feel the pain from your wound?" The more attentive team member was incontinent and tears welled up in his eyes instantly. "I thought you were not going to wake up..."
"You better be nice." The hot-tempered one pushed him and said, "Captain, Xiao Guo came in just to kill you. We have been so nice to him. This guy is a wolf that can never be tamed!"
"Alright, both of you," the more stable one said, "Hurry up and pour some water for the captain."
The three team members were chattering, Huai Jiamu let out a silent breath, and in the gap between them he saw Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai walking into the room with great interest, preparing to go out to investigate the scene.
"Who is imprisoned in that room?" He paused.
Could it be Xiao Guo? He remembered that Xiao Guo had destroyed the door and left this world.
"There are two wanted criminals in there. We don't know where they are now..." The more careful one explained, "It's a long story. Yesterday, Xiao Guo said he met two wanted criminals. Captain, you just turned around and ran away, and we saw these two wanted criminals. Although they are not the same one, they are also wanted, so we chased after them..."
The following content is roughly about how they were busy chasing two people and that's why they were a step late, resulting in the captain being injured when they arrived.
"So this is what you caught?" Huai Jiamu frowned.
"Uh... no, it was Skao and the others," he said calmly, "Xiao Guo destroyed our way back. We wanted to try to get out of here last night, so we played a psychic game in the middle of the night, and they helped us look for them. As a result, we accidentally met these two people during the game, and we were able to catch them."
In other words, these two people were actually the key factors that caused the team members to be late, and Bai Jinshu only caught them last night.
Huai Jiamu sighed silently.
Okay, he knew what Bai Jin meant by "doing it for you" and "thank you kind person for avenging you".
As for these two wanted criminals who “mysteriously disappeared”…I’m afraid they may have died at some point in time.
"Captain, it's strange. These two people disappeared inexplicably," he added carefully. "We clearly knocked them out and tied them up last night. We also locked the warehouse door and the pharmacy door. But when we got up this morning, there was no sign that the two doors had been damaged, but the people just disappeared. It's really strange."
A few steps away, in the room where the two wanted criminals "mysteriously disappeared", Zhao Yinglai looked around and said, "There is no trace at all."
"Well," Bai Jinshu glanced at her, "it seems that she just disappeared."
"Tsk tsk," Zhao Yinglai pinched his chin, "Luckily we two were smart and didn't say it out loud."
Otherwise, they would have been among those who disappeared.
The unlucky Gu King Fu Yiran of the team probably died just like that.
"But now that these two people are missing, can we go to that residential area and have a look?" She said as she walked out, "Fu Yiran disappeared before and then appeared there, so it stands to reason that these two people should also be there... Damn."
Zhao Yinglai was tripped by a piece of wood that appeared out of nowhere on the ground, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Damn it," she rolled over, "When did this wooden board appear?"
There was clearly nothing on the ground when I just came in.
Although shadow puppets have no sense of pain and will not feel hurt or get injured, the room is full of dust and if they trip, their clothes will get dirty and have holes in them.
Someone who got up early happened to see the whole process:
[The report fell from the side when you and Aoshen turned around to talk.]
[Originally this piece of wood was placed on the table, but the team members who just came in moved the table, so the wood became unstable and just now it slipped down.]
[This is too unlucky. ]
[Indeed, it didn't slide earlier or later, but just happened to slide down when Jiang Jie was walking forward. What a good timing.]
[Comparatively, the fixed attribute of the God of Ao is indeed luck... In the moment before the wooden board fell, he didn't move forward for some reason. ]
[Hiss, Daxian'er fell so badly, it looks so painful. ]
[What kind of tough guy is Jiang Jie? How could he not even frown after falling like this? ]
[It's not that he's a tough guy, it's that he has a body of steel. I watched Jiang Jie fall down with my own eyes, his trousers were torn at the knees, but he was actually fine.]
[Oh yeah, there was no blood at all, man of steel! ]
Zhao Yinglai sat on the ground hugging his knees, blew the dust off his legs, stood up unhappily and kicked the wooden board: "Tsk, who put this thing here? Do you have any sense of public morality?"
The Abnormal Investigation Bureau member who was about to enter the door: …
"I'm sorry..." He said weakly, "It should have been placed here when we moved the cabinet just now. Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"It's okay... I'm not hurt," Zhao Yinglai muttered, "We just came in to take a look out of curiosity. Sorry."
She stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off her legs, and prepared to leave the room.
And the next moment, the team member standing at the door showed a look of surprise on his face and pushed her hard: "Be careful!"
Zhao Yinglai took a few steps back and held onto the table next to him. A dusty wooden box in front of him fell to the ground with a bang, and the contents of the box scattered all over the floor.
Bai Jinshu looked up and saw that the box had fallen right next to the cabinet on top of the warehouse door.
It was probably because the team members were moving the cabinets around that half of the support for a box that was originally placed between two cabinets was moved away. The team member pushed the door with too much force, causing the wooden door to vibrate along with the cabinet next to it, and coincidentally shook the box down.
If he had been a step slower, the box would have hit Zhao Yinglai on the head.
The things in the warehouse are all old items. This box looks very heavy, and it is probably made of the best wood. If it hits someone on the head, they will probably be sent to the hospital on the spot.
Of course, apart from the fact that this is a pharmacy and he can be sent to the hospital instantly, Jiang Jie is a shadow puppet and he won't get hurt no matter how hard he is hit.
In just a few minutes, two incidents occurred in this warehouse, which was extremely dangerous.
"Let's go out first." Bai Jinshu said.
"Go, go, go..." Zhao Yinglai quickly stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and said to the Abnormal Investigation Bureau team members at the door, "I think you should stop rummaging through this warehouse. You see, wooden boxes and planks fell off when you just moved a few cabinets. If those two people really moved things last night, the floor of the warehouse would probably be covered with things that fell from the cabinets and tables."
The team member at the door: "This... we still have to rule out the possibility."
Although it now seems that it is impossible for these two people to escape from the secret passage by moving some things in the warehouse, the two door locks are intact. Apart from the seriously injured captain, there are still seven living people with normal hearing in the pharmacy. With so many guarantees, these two people were able to run away. Except for the problem in the warehouse, they really can't think of any other possibility.
Zhao Yinglai knew that the two men should have disappeared, but he certainly couldn't say this out loud, so he shrugged his shoulders, walked out of the room and let them go in to look for them slowly, and kindly added: "Then be careful not to trip or get hit by something...hiss."
She looked at her toes in disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jinshu followed out.
"This is weird," Zhao Yinglai frowned, "I just accidentally kicked the corner of the cabinet."
Isn’t this a bit too unlucky?
In other words, she is using shadow puppets now. If she were using her own real body, she would probably be holding her legs and grimacing.
[How unlucky, Great Immortal. ]
[Is Daxian so unlucky? 】
[I know, it was the Ao Shen who sucked away the great immortal's luck! ]
[…Don’t make Scario sound like a succubus.]
【It’s so funny, Succubus Ao Shen. 】
[Logically speaking, Jiang Jie's luck isn't that bad. He wasn't that unlucky in the past few days. Could it be that the black shadow last night caused this? ]
[What is this shadow? Where did it come from? What happened last night? ]
【Put an ear here. 】
[In the previous paragraph, Aoshen and his friends went to the shallow beach last night, and when they were leaving, a dark shadow flashed onto Daxian's back. Many people in the live broadcast room saw it at the time, so it shouldn't be an illusion.]
What is a shoal?
[Ah, the shallows is the place that Fang Sha said they suspected was related to the making of a double.]
[Ah? Aoshen and his team went to see Fang Sha last night? So did the bet on [before dawn] win in the final opening?]
[Fuck, good question, @housing management@housing management@housing management@housing management]
[I think it was before dark! Who knows when these two people died. ]
The attention of investors in the barrage was instantly shifted to last night's opening results, and even the investor who had previously said that there was a dark shadow behind Zhao Yinglai was diverted, and they began to debate whether it was [Before Dawn] or [Before Dark].
In the unknown space, Bai Jinshu frowned slightly.
"Don't move for now. Find a place to sit down." He motioned Zhao Yinglai to sit next to him and don't move.
Wen Qi heard the voice and came over, lowering her voice: "Brother Fa Ye, Brother Jiang Jie, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing." Zhao Yinglai waved his hand. "My luck suddenly turned bad when I woke up this morning. I'm just a little unlucky."
"Oh..." Wen Qi said, her eyes flickered, and she asked softly, "Are Fang Sha and Cai Hong dead?"
"What do you mean dead? Don't talk nonsense," Zhao Yinglai waved his hand, "These two people disappeared, and we don't know where they went."
Wen Qi blinked subtly and nodded.
Zhaoyinglai: ...
She silently raised her head, met Bai Jinshu's gaze, winked and emitted brain waves: [Do you think she believes it? ]
Bai Jinshu: [No.]
Wen Qi didn't believe her words at first glance. Not only did she not believe them, she even blamed them for the deaths of Fang Sha and Cai Hong.
However, Wen Qi knew her limits and approached quietly to ask. And she was right, the disappearance of these two people was indeed their doing.
Another person who discovered the truth was probably Huai Jiamu who was lying on the bamboo bed.
Shortly after daybreak, the deputy captain Xu Ke ran over, opened the door and walked directly in the direction of Huai Jiamu: "Is the captain awake?"
"He's awake," the team member next to Huai Jiamu replied, "He should have woken up this morning."
"Is the wound okay?" Xu Ke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his reaction was the same as that of the other team members when they heard that Huai Jiamu had woken up.
It’s not that they hope anything happens to Huai Jiamu, but the amount of bleeding yesterday would be so frightening that anyone would be worried. It’s normal.
But before Xu Ke could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the team member say in embarrassment: "But... Fang Sha and Cai Hong..."
"What's wrong with these two people?" Xu Ke's heart was lifted again.
"Disappeared," the team member repeated after seeing Xu Ke's incredulous look, "Disappeared while there were seven people in the pharmacy with the doors and windows intact."
Xu Ke: “Ah?”
"I'll go check it out..." He stood up from the stool again before he even sat down, "Is there a secret passage in the warehouse?"
"Most likely not," the team member in front added as he walked, "Deputy Captain, be careful of your steps and head when you go in."
Xu Ke:?
Now he was really confused.
He subconsciously glanced around and successfully saw Jiang Jie sitting on a chair, his body covered in dust, with the cloth at his knees worn out.
"I just fell down inside and was almost hit. In the end, I kicked my foot when I came out," Zhao Yinglai said sincerely, "Be careful when you go in."
Xu Ke: “…Thank you.”
Are you really talking about a pharmacy warehouse?
Is it so dangerous?
He twitched his lips, looked at the ground carefully, and took the first step carefully.
Outside the room, Zhao Yinglai sighed and stretched his body lazily: "Hey - what am I going to do?"
She suddenly retracted her hand, raised her head and looked back, and her eyes met with a nail nailed to the wall.
If she hadn't retracted her hand quickly, the nail would have pierced her hand directly as she stretched.
Zhaoyinglai: ...
She shrank back in her chair silently, looked at Bai Jinshu and said, "Something is wrong. It's definitely not right."
Why am I so unlucky this morning?
"Brother Jiang Jie," Wen Qi gently pulled his sleeve, "Did you meet any strange people last night?"
"No..." Zhao Yinglai was puzzled. "We went out so late last night and didn't meet anyone. If we must say who we met, then it was Fang Sha and Cai Hong?"
Could it be that these two people cursed her?
"It's possible." A voice came from not far away.
"Ah?" Zhao Yinglai tilted his head and looked at Huai Jiamu lying on the bed, "What did you say is possible?"
"Cai Hong and Fang Sha," Huai Jiamu looked at her and answered briefly, "The sudden bad luck may be a sign of someone casting a curse on them."
"Curse..." Zhao Yinglai asked in a strange tone, "Shouldn't it be on Skao? Why on me?"
I almost forgot that this is a non-materialistic worldview, but Skao was the mastermind, right? Why was she the one who suffered the consequences?
"Maybe it's because you were the one who put the knife to her neck," Bai Jinshu glanced at her.
Zhao Yinglai squirmed darkly and complained in a low voice: "...I protest, I obviously did nothing, it was you who said the words, the person you were looking for, and even the plan was yours."
"Sit still and don't move," Bai Jinshu glanced at her, "You don't want the chair to fall apart suddenly, do you?"
Zhaoyinglai: ...
With her current incredible luck, it is really possible.
She sat up straight in humiliation.
Bai Jinshu glanced at Zhao Yinglai who had finally returned to normal, walked towards Huai Jiamu, and sat on the rattan chair where he had slept last night.
"Do you want to ask questions related to the curse?" Huai Jiamu asked consciously.
"No," Bai Jinshu smiled wryly, "I want to ask you why you were injured."
May I ask why Huai Jiamu, an evil god who can stop time, was seriously injured by Xiao Guo when he knew that Xiao Guo intended to lure the tiger away from the mountain and had ulterior motives?
Huai Jiamu: ...
He looked away silently: "There are other reasons."
"What's the reason?" Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows.
“Xiao Guo… cough,” Huai Jiamu coughed lightly, “there should be something else in his hand, specifically for me.”
"What is it?" Bai Jinshu's brows were already furrowed.
“I’m not sure…” Huai Jiamu pondered for a moment, “But there were a few moments when I was close to him when I suddenly couldn’t move.”
Otherwise, even if there was no time-stopping space, Xiao Guo wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"I can't move..." Bai Jinshu tapped the bedside with his fingers a few times, "Please speak carefully."
He remembered what Zhaoying had told him yesterday, saying that there were burn marks on Huai Jiamu's wound, and Doctor Fan said that the marks were caused by some evil thing.
Is this what Huai Jiamu was talking about?
"Captain, this can't be the thing that that big shot gave to Xiao Guo!" Xu Ke, who was standing at the door of the warehouse, suddenly interrupted.
"It's possible," Huai Jiamu nodded, "After all...someone has always wanted me dead."
As far as I can remember, this captain had indeed been targeted many times, but none of them was as serious as this time, where he almost lost his life.
"This is no small matter," Xu Ke suddenly became nervous, "Captain, the thing in Xiao Guo's hand is specifically aimed at you. Did they get your hair or nails, or your horoscope?"
Huai Jiamu: "...How should I know this?"
Fingernails are easy to deal with, but as for hair, you don't know how many strands fall out in a day. Who knows if this captain's hair happened to fall out and was collected by someone.
As for the eight characters, although this is a non-materialistic world, the captain of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau who works in this field should protect his own eight characters, but the date of birth can be adjusted at will from the archives. The only unclear thing is the time.
There are only twelve hours in a day. If he were the other party, he would try all twelve hours. It's not much anyway.
Xu Ke became even more anxious when he heard this. He didn't have time to think about how Fang Sha and Cai Hong disappeared. He walked back and forth in the room for a long time and then suddenly stopped.
"Then..." He paused, "Then they can't see whether you are dead or not now, Captain?"
The person who instructed Xiao Guo to attack him is now separated by a world. Will he attack him again?
