Chapter 128 The Truth

"You mean I just came here?" Liu Lin stared at Lao Wu with wide eyes. Lao Wu looked serious in the moonlight and definitely didn't seem to be talking lies.

"Yes, you just came with a sedan chair. However, at that time, they all came out to see visitors from Rouge Lane. I heard your voice and took a look and found that they all sent you away directly, so I didn't have time to talk. Seeing that they have been walking with a sedan chair for a while, they should not come back soon. Then I thought about closing the door first. Well, you will come back again. Lao Wu hesitated when he said this: "Liu Lin, are you all right? Why do I feel that you are not normal? Why can't you remember what just happened?"

"Old Wu, I haven't been here just now. I have always been with Zhang Shu. I just brought the sedan chair you asked me to hire. Liu Lin took a deep breath: "The 'Liu Lin' you saw just now must not be me."

"Lao Wu, does the person really look the same as Liu Lin?" Zhang Shu suddenly asked.

"The one who just came is Liu Lin. I haven't known your account room for a day or two. Although it's late now, the moon is so bright that my old Wu won't be blind." Lao Wu insisted on his own opinion.

"It may be an accident." Zhang Shu said this calmly.

"Zhang Shu, you don't know the situation. Even if Liu Lin is fake as you just said, but Liu Lin left after delivering the sedan chair. It's all up to you what you want to do later. Moreover, you also know what their skills are. Rouge Lane is also in Yanggu County. Even if they are in trouble, it must be them themselves who are unlucky in the end. Lao Wu is quite confident in Wu Song's ability.

"Lao Wu, Liu account room, there are some things you may not know. The shopkeeper has something to do with an organization called Faceless. This organization has one of the skills to change appearance. This kind of appearance has reached the point of being unpredictable. Liu's account room has not been out of Guihua Building since this afternoon. I can guarantee this. He spent most of his time with me, during which I went out once, but it was not completely dark at that time, that is, the time you left. Moreover, the speed of my return is also very fast. Even if Liu's account room wants to leave, he can only barely run back and forth at the speed of his usual walking, and there is absolutely no time to contact the sedan chair or something. Most of the realistic 'Liu Lin' you see is disguised by faceless people. Zhang Shu paused for a moment: "In addition, you just said that the host saw the caller in Rouge Lane outside the door. At this time, Liu Lin came with a sedan chair, right?"

"Yes, it's just a coincidence, otherwise, it's impossible not to let them enter the door. But even if it doesn't happen, my wife won't go to see the stars. She seems to be very disgusted with seeing this star. Lao Wu's tone also increased quickly, and it could be seen that he was also a little anxious.

"The actions of faceless people will not be carried out in isolation. I can even boldly speculate that the person who came to report, even the sedan chairman carrying the sedan chair, was a group of faceless people. They knew in advance that the shopkeeper went to Rouge Lane in the afternoon and then made such a real and fake buckle. Zhang Shu's face is as heavy as water.

"I remembered what you said." Lao Wu patted his head and raised his tone: "It was a timid girl who came from Rouge Lane. When I opened the door, I asked him why the news from Wu Da was sent to my house. She seemed to say that no one took care of her when she went to Guihua Tower, so she arrived here.

"There is absolutely no girl in Guihua Building." Liu Lin firmly waved his hand and said, "Today's business is not good, and my eyes have never left the door of the Osmanthus Tower. Every new face who comes in must take a serious look. There will be no girl who comes to the Osmanthus Tower and doesn't find my situation!"

"So, we are all in danger!" Lao Wu was a little panicked: "Then go and find it quickly. If this 'faceless person' is really as evil as Zhang Shu said, isn't it very dangerous now? Do you need to go to the government office to find those officials?"

"It's not dangerous." Zhang Shu meditated, "Although the owner experienced the fierce battle last night, if it is normal, he is really not afraid of the good hands of a few faceless people. I'm just afraid that these people will use other tricks. There is no need to alarm the officials of the government. You may not know that the government office suffered a catastrophe yesterday, and more than half of the officials died. Now they are understaffed. In the face of such well-trained people as faceless people, the only result of these people is that the number of officials who need to be recruited in the government office has become more.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Lin has habitually regarded Zhang Shu as the backbone at this time. After all, he is just an accountant. When he encounters such an important decision, he will inevitably hesitate.

"I think so, just the four of us are going to chase the capital now." Zhang Shu said to the two sedan chair men, "You two have worked hard. Come with us to Rouge Lane. Zhang Shu promise that nothing will happen to them."

"I don't understand." Liu Lin was very puzzled: "Zhang Shu, I know your skills are very good. You can ride and chase this by yourself, and the speed is also fast. Isn't it a hindrance for us three people who don't know martial arts to follow?"

Zhang Shu shook his head: "The owner has fought with faceless people many times, and he is already very familiar with the method of changing appearance. The host will crack this seemingly superb but actually clumsy trick from a clue. So I speculate that this time the faceless person not only used Yirong, but also probably mixed with illusion in the scam. The host began to fall into the illusion when he saw the fake Liu Lin and the sedan chair. I guess the fake Liu Lin or sedan chair must be part of the illusion. The only way to solve this illusion is for you to appear in front of you with a sedan chair. Even if the owner is still in this illusion and the other party hasn't started it, you can crack it at the right time. Ten thousand steps back, of course, this is the best speculation, and I don't even think there is a possibility of one in ten thousand. The faceless just pretends to be you, and there is no malice. In this case, I will go to Rouge Lane to find the shopkeeper. The owner doesn't have to show up, and then there are two sedan chairs, one in the owner and one shopkeeper. In this way, it's not superfluous for the three of you to go.

Zhang Shu was very comprehensive, and Liu Lin felt the gap between himself and him.

"Then how do the four of us get there? Shall we ride a horse?" Liu Lin asked that Zhang Shu was always right about these things.

"No, neither of us can ride a horse. Yanggu County is full of slate roads, and the sound of horseshoes will come from far away, and it is likely to frighten snakes. These two big brothers' journey is unusual. Anyway, my wife won't take this sedan chair again tonight. You don't have to worry about anything. You make a sedan chair, and the two eldest brothers carry you. I'll just run outside the sedan chair. Zhang Shu turned his head and said to the two sedan chair men, "Although the two big brothers run hard, they don't have to pay attention to stability. My brother is not afraid of bumps." Then Zhang Shu stopped his words and inadvertently pinched his fingers: "Let's go now."

Liu Lin hurriedly got into the sedan chair, and then the sedan chair was immediately lifted. This rising speed almost flashed Liu Lin's head. After that, the sedan chair shook violently and looked out through the window of the sedan chair. The scenery next to him was rapidly retreating. It seemed that the foot journey of the two was really amazing.

However, the seemingly inadvertent calculation action of Zhang Shu has been flashing back in Liu Lin's mind, which is indeed very slight. If Liu Lin hadn't seen Zhang Shu's calculation on his way here and was a little familiar with this action, he would never have found it just now.

In addition, according to Zhang Shu's analysis, Wu Song's current situation is indeed relatively dangerous. In this dangerous situation, he has just said so many words to analyze every possibility. Is it a waste of time? If according to normal people's thinking, should he chase Wu Song first and on the road? , or explain it in detail afterwards. Zhang Shu must know that even if he doesn't explain anything, I will do what he said first.

If you think so, there is only one inference, that is... Zhang Shu is deliberately delaying time! The action he just calculated is to calculate whether the delay is enough! Is this tree fake? Are these two sedan chairs also fake? What kind of faceless person pretended to be? This conclusion made Liu Lin in the sedan chair tremble all over. He could hardly imagine what would happen in a moment and what would happen to him tonight.

After a moment of fear, Liu Lin immediately found a loophole in this idea. If Zhang Shu is a group of faceless people, his actions are completely superfluous. Maybe Wu Song is familiar with the characteristic of faceless people's appearance, but Lao Wu and I are completely unfamiliar with this. He can completely make peace with Liu Lin's question of authenticity, and then a lot of time will be eliminated and faceless. It will still be a completely unfamiliar concept to us. Even, Zhang Shu can tell me when he comes back from hiring a sedan chair that all the sedan chair has been hired. After all, everyone wants to see the red ghost tonight. The business of the sedan chair must be very good. If Zhang Shu said this, I would certainly not doubt it. Tonight, I will quietly take them to the Osmanthus Building and continue to watch the gate to calculate the few customers, even none. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to act on Wu Song?

Is it possible that Zhang Shu is calculating me through this seemingly unreasonable plan? Am I also a part of the faceless to control? So in this way, if I lift the sedan chair anywhere, I will disappear like the dew after sunrise in Yanggu County?

No, never. I'm just an accountant in Guihua Building. Many things about Wu Song and Wuhan University are only at the level of speculation. If a clerk in Guihua Building is good at observation and delicate, he will not be much less than I know. Moreover, Zhang Shu is in the Guihua Building and is deeply trusted by Wu Song. He wants to get a higher position, and there is no need to do anything to me. For him, if he wants a better life, he just needs to make a request to Wu Song. For a strange person like Zhang Shu, Wu Song will try his best to meet all the requirements.

In addition, if he calculated me, someone else was present when he did the analysis just now. Of course, the two sedan chairs are likely to be with him, but Lao Wu heard his analysis completely. He could send Lao Wu back to the house first, and then tell me this. At that time, he was really caught in the urn, and I would clean up as much as I wanted. Even if he can kill Wu Song effortlessly and slaughter the people in Wu's house at the same time, Lao Wu alone knows that it is also a loophole to increase the chance of making mistakes. A thoughtful person like Zhang Shu will not make such a mistake.

So... what might be left? What on earth is Zhang Shu calculating? Liu Lin felt that he was infinitely close to the real answer. The real answer only needs to carry out such meticulous thinking, inferences, and then insert the wings of bold speculation near the last canyon of true thoughts to reach the other side.

Liu Lin took a deep breath. Zhang Shu is really fortune-telling. On the way here, he talked to me about the red ghost. He told him that he saw the information about the red ghost from a manuscript, but the manuscript has a lot less than the original, which should be true. After all, the scribe can understand a little reservation about this mysterious information. However, Zhang Shu told me on the road that there was actually very little information about the red ghost. It boils down to two. This star only appears once in thousands of years; its appearance represents the return of the dead to this world. The previous period of other comets and the hardships of stargazers should be his knowledge of stargazing. Although this is the first time I have heard such information, it should be extremely simple for stargazers and should not be recorded in this key manuscript. After all, the theme of this manuscript is the red ghost. That is to say, when Zhang Shu told me that these comets were difficult to observe, it was not all from emotion. He was actually setting the groundwork for the later narrative. Because a manuscript will never simply describe those two things, and there must be something else in it, but Zhang Shu doesn't want me to know, so he said a lot of common sense of stargazers, and he wants me to subconsciously think that this is also part of the manuscript. If these are added, the amount of information in the manuscript will probably be enough. In fact, I was almost fooled, but he spilled the beans. He said that he wanted to observe the iron star. I still remember that his eyes were very decisive at that time. This look exposed that he was actually a real stargazer, so the real stargazer is naturally at hand in this basic knowledge, and it won't come from anything. Transcript.

So, it's time to draw a conclusion. If the manuscript is really like what Zhang Shu said, if there is a prophecy about the appearance of the red ghost a hundred years ago, will this 100-year-old prophecy foresee the appearance of Wu Song, or even... Wu Song's disaster tonight? Maybe all this is under Zhang Shu's grasp. No, no, the real power will not describe everything so clearly. Maybe it is only written in the manuscript. What should the people who read this manuscript do tonight, such as... wait a moment and then go to Wu Song?!

Through a series of reasoning, Liu Lin finally got a seemingly slightly absurd conclusion that can reasonably explain Zhang Shu's calculation just now. Everything tonight, even everything that may happen in the future, was understood by the prophet a hundred years ago and left in his books. At least part of the information was transferred to the manuscript and understood by Zhang Shu. Zhang Shu also became the executor of the prophecy a hundred years later.

Yes, if this is a play, it is a live play that is staged after the author has died and may have turned into dust. At the end of the play, all the actors know little about it. Perhaps the only thing that understands the focus of fate is the stars in the sky.

Liu Lin opened the sedan chair window on the left, and sure enough, the red ghost hung in the sky on the back left side. Rouge Lane is on the southwest side of Yanggu, and the red ghost is in the east. So it seems that there is nothing wrong with the direction of the sedan chair. At this moment, it is marching to the southwest. It seems that this is a sloping street. Liu Lin, who knew the exact direction, verified part of the inference just now, breathed a little relief, leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair in the sedan chair.

Liu Lin was looking at the stars in the sky, and Zhang Shu's face appeared beside him, which shocked Liu with the abacus.

"Can you tell me in advance when you come over?" Liu Lin complained and reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"There is a situation." Zhang Shu's nose sucked hard twice, and his wings fluctuated greatly.

"What do you smell?" Liu Lin looked at Zhang Shu and remembered the dog that always smelled on the street, but he didn't say anything.

"There is a powder in the air." Zhang Shu sniffed a few more times, and then said affirmatively, "It's a hallucinogenic drug."

"What can this drug do?" Liu Lin couldn't help but get nervous. Since Zhang Shu could smell it, wouldn't he also be breathing this medicine? I really don't know what will happen if I smell this thing.

"If I'm right, this drug is a kind of **. It will bring a certain impulse to people. When it is necessary to do something wrong, you only need to let the drug taker inhale a large amount in a relatively closed environment to completely wake up the previously inhaled drugs. There are a lot of powder in the air here, and now the north wind is blowing, but because this drug is a drug that creates illusions, it is not seriously affected by the wind direction. It seems that we have taken the wrong way, and our family has taken a slightly norther than us. The faceless man has already done it. After the fantasy is established, when the owner is killed, he will have no power to fight back. Zhang Shu pulled out a knife as thin as cicada wings from his boots, held it upside down, and then turned to the sedan chairman and said, "Go to the street facing north."
