The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 1236
[Chapter 260 The Sunset Never Sets]
“I have no opinion.”
The doctor who was extremely strong was the first to answer.
Huang Mao shrugged, noncommittal.
The boy-like tinker asked: “Did you bring a crystal ball?”
“No,” the old woman said with a smile, “not all divinations require crystal balls.
“Sister, are there tarot cards here?
”
“Ah, there is.”
”
My sister said, turned back and took the tarot cards, and said a little embarrassedly: “We girls do have this kind of popularity… I bought this before, but I forgot to play it after I bought it.
”
It’s okay, not everyone needs divination.
You can live a peaceful life without divination, which means you are a good and confident boy.
“The
old woman let out a hoarse laughter like a crow.
She said so, but she didn’t make any special ritual actions. She simply shuffled the cards, and placed four cards in front of her.
“Who will come first?
asked
the old woman.
Annan remained silent and decided to watch from the sidelines.
“I’ll come.”
The
doctor was the first to answer.
He stood up, walked behind the old woman and studied: “Which one do you open?”
”
“Choose one to open.
“The
old woman said with a smile: “One is enough.
”
“Then this one.”
“The
doctor said, and was about to turn over the first card from the left.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Boom!
It was like a drunken knocking on the door outside, with a very loud noise.
“It’s a philosopher.
”
Huang Mao was the first to react: “He’s late! He won’t drink too much, right?”
“I’ll open the door.” The
doctor stopped opening the tarot cards and walked to the door .
Boom!
Boom!
The knocking outside the door did not stop, but became more urgent.
“Come, come, come!” The
doctor responded loudly: “Don’t be in a hurry—”
His words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
There was a very obvious fear on his face.
… the smell of blood?
A very strong smell of blood rushed over.
Annan got up immediately and took two steps to the door – the one who reacted with him was Huangmao who was still eating slowly after he was full.
So Annan immediately saw the visitor.
In other words—the wreckage of the guest was seen.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a twisted expression, his right hand sticking out and slightly bent, kept knocking on the door.
And he was hung in front of the door like a swing, and when he swung back and forth, his outstretched right hand would knock on the door.
And the two legs of the “philosopher” are missing, and they are pouring blood down.
The door and the floor of the door were completely dyed red with blood plasma.
After the doctor opened the door, he was splashed with blood from bottom to top with the “legless kick” of the “philosopher”.
Given the freshness of this blood, it shouldn’t be long before the “philosopher” died…
“What’s going on?”
The elder sister made a trembling voice with fear: “Is this… is there a gangster? The murderer has entered the village?”
“It should be the murderer who broke in from outside,” the old woman thought calmly, “There are only eight of us in this village. Individuals. And the seven of us are already here…and we didn’t see anything like that at all when we came.”
— No.
Annan vetoed in his heart.
Not everyone has an alibi – my sister has time to commit crimes.
When everyone entered the house, she could turn out the window to commit the crime… The premise was that the murderer was really one of them.
Detective copy this time?
But Annan always felt that it was not that simple…
”
What should I do?”
The woman with a big belly looked really panicked: “My child is going to be born tomorrow!”
“Don’t panic.”
After a moment, the time on his body reversed, and the blood stains completely disappeared.
Then he said calmly: “Since there are outsiders entering the village, it means that it may be dangerous for us to go home. Then we might as well get together with a few people, and we can ensure each other’s safety… I can be with the lady, you and the old lady tonight, Protect the two of you.”
“Then I’ll live with Abo.”
Huang Mao quickly replied, “I’ll protect Abo!”
“Do I live with the tinker?” The
elder sister’s voice was still a little hesitant. Obviously, this child should not be able to protect himself.
And Huang Mao also saw it, and immediately replied: “Would you like to add my sister and the tinker? Why don’t the four of us leave?”
“Alright.” The
doctor said solemnly: “You protect the tinker. Craftsmen and them. Before the sun goes down, I will take them away first.”
“Be careful on the road.”
Huang Mao instructed: “You are pushing a wheelchair and you are also carrying a pregnant woman. Maybe that gangster
hasn’t gone far.” The party suddenly ended like this.
After the three of them left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much cooler.
Whether it was the silent tinker, the sister who looked like an ordinary girl, or Annan who was thinking, obviously no one wanted to chat with Huang Mao.
Annan pondered and walked to the four cards left by the old woman.
It was my sister’s card, so the old woman didn’t leave when she left.
And the doctor obviously didn’t have the leisure to play divination anymore.
So Annan first, based on his own feeling, turned over the second card from the left.
That is a righteous justice.
Annan paused, then opened the first one from the left.
That is the one that the doctor originally photographed.
– It was an inverted death god.
“Are you looking at the cards, Abo?”
Huang Mao leaned over, and then flipped over one: “Strength… Does this mean that I am very powerful?”
“This is the power of inversion.”
Annan He said casually, “I’m afraid it’s not the exact opposite.”
“Tsk…is it so sad?”
Huang Mao put down his cards shyly.
The tinker and sister on the side were obviously not interested in playing this.
Not even the dishes on the table were cleaned.
“Let’s all sleep in the living room tonight.”
My sister pulled out a few quilts and pajamas, and explained in a low voice, “The sound insulation of the room may be a little better… Just in case, let’s sleep here. It’s good to have an answer.
“It’s getting dark now. Let’s wait until tomorrow morning, let’s search the village together before dawn.”
“You’re right.”
Annan agreed in a low voice, “I’m a little sleepy.”
He suddenly appeared I felt very sleepy… I didn’t even have time to get into the quilt, so I lay on my side on the sofa and fell asleep.
The feeling of being watched by someone became clearer.
It’s as if it’s just a “moment” with eyes closed and open.
When Annan woke
up again.
He found himself still seated with a blanket over his knees.
“Old woman?” The
doctor’s steady voice sounded behind him: “Are you awake?”
…Old woman?
Annan suddenly realized something, raised his head and opened his eyes.
He was not sitting on the sofa, but in a wheelchair – what
caught Annan’s eyes was the huge sunset hanging high in the air.
It’s like going back a few hours.
– As if the sun never set.
