The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 289

Yuan Mu's request

Dai Xia raised his eyebrows in surprise at Yuan Mu's words. According to the evidence he had before, the development of this matter was obviously not like this. It seems that many things happened during his absence!Thinking of this, he raised his head and listened to Yuan Mu's continuation.

"And all these things have only one common feature, that is, Lu Shi was present at the time. Then, because of some things, we followed the clues and suspected him. Finally, when we found out the truth about Dr. Chen's murder At that time, I really discovered the strangeness of the matter, and then discovered the real soul of Lu Shi."

Yuan Mu said, pointing to the Soul Gathering Orb in Dai Xia's hand and said, "Although we don't know exactly what happened, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on. That is, no matter what, we must Take back Lu Shi's body."

"I understand this." Dai Xia nodded, expressing that he agreed with such an idea.After all, if it was me, the body of my friend who had been with me for many years was occupied by an unknown person, and I would not care about other things, at least I wanted the soul of my friend to return to my body.

"Our friendship is on the one hand, and on the other hand, only in this way can Lu Shi's soul return to its place, and only then can we know what happened in it." Yuan Mu said, looking at Dai Xia with deep eyes and said , "Will you help us?"

"So the purpose of your coming to me today is not to reminisce about the old days, is it?" Although he was well prepared in his heart, Dai Xia still asked unwillingly.

"I have already done what I promised you before, and I came to you today to ask you, do you plan to continue with what happened before?" Yuan Mu didn't answer his question directly, but said this suddenly.

What is strange is that after hearing what he said, Dai Xia glanced at the few people still in the store, suddenly smiled and said, "Since you have done what you promised me, and this matter has nothing to do with it." To Lu Shi's life... Although my relationship with him is not very good, there is no major enmity.

My master said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so since it is a matter of life, there is no need to care about some things so much.Besides, I believe that the mouths of the few people present are very tight. "

Yang Yang was confused when he heard this, and he asked in a puzzled manner, "What are you talking about?"

"Let Dai Xia tell you about these things." Seeing this, Yuan Mu smiled and said, "I'm not very clear about some things."

Dai Xia then roughly told Yang Yang about his guess when they met, and what happened afterwards.

After finishing speaking, before he could react, he said, "You have to know that once you hide some things at the beginning, you will not be able to say them later. So, I hope you will not be angry about the fact that I concealed your identity, but you know that I I have always regarded you as a friend, this matter is not fake."

"That's why you were there when you rescued us, didn't you?" Ning Yuan then said, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for your life-saving grace yet. Compared to the fact that you saved us , other things are not so important."

At this time, Yang Yang also came back to his senses, he looked at Dai Xia and nodded, "We have already started to doubt you because of the sourness, so today's matter is not all your fault in the final analysis.

Including when you went to Hong Yuan's place to work, to be honest, we didn't really believe that you were just a delivery boy, so there is no question of who is right and who is wrong in this matter, we all stand on our own stand If you think about it, you don't have to apologize. "

Dai Xia didn't expect this matter to be resolved so easily, he turned his head and looked at Yuan Mu in shock, who said with a smile, "You have to know that their character is like this, otherwise I wouldn't put you Called over to say something in front of them, the two of us are enough."

Hearing this, Dai Xia also laughed. He glanced at the people in the dim sum shop and said, "I don't know if Yuan Mu has told you, but now I suspect that Chi Dun is my younger brother, but this matter is just My guess is that it will take time to prove the specifics, so just do me a favor, you should keep this matter from Chi Dun and let me investigate it first."

Hearing his words, Yang Yang was startled, not only him, even Ning Yuan and Yu Zhongwu didn't expect such a result.In the end, Yang Yang said, "Is this true? I've never heard of him having any senior brothers!"

"This matter is more complicated. I won't be able to explain the specific situation for a while, but you will know in the future. In short... Well, I still hope that you can help me hide this matter." Dai Xia didn't seem to make things clear. Explain your intentions clearly.

But since he has made it clear, and Yuan Mu is still on his side, the misunderstanding between him and everyone has naturally been resolved.Everyone saw that he didn't want to say more, so it's not good to force him to say more.So they all nodded and agreed.

What's more, after what happened to Lu Shi, everyone began to accept Dai Xia's non-subjective, malicious deception.In addition, when they met Dai Xia before, they didn't go there with any intention of making friends.

Therefore, for Dai Xia's deception, it was just that they were evened before, and everyone had nothing to say.

At this time, Yuan Mudu suddenly said, "Since everything has been discussed, I want to say one thing. Now we need your help."

Dai Xia frowned strangely and said, "My help? How can I help you?"

"The thing is like this, you know, hesitating that unknown soul is now in Lu Shi's body, what can we do with him. However, according to our previous speculation, he is not alone."

Regarding what he said, Dai Xia nodded his head to express his understanding: "I would have guessed this even if you didn't say it. Since Yang Yang and the others were kidnapped premeditatedly, or when you didn't realize it, Lu Shi's body and soul were exchanged. It's not an easy thing to change.

It shouldn't be something that just anyone can do, or if he can do it by himself, he won't let you see it. "

Speaking of this, he suddenly asked, "By the way, you haven't told me where you found Lu Shi's real spirit? It's impossible to walk on the street and use this bead to find someone at random. Are you out?"

As Dai Xia said, he handed the Soul Gathering Orb back to Yuan Mu and said, "You'd better keep it safe, I'm really afraid that it will be accidentally broken later."

"This is a soul-gathering bead, not just any glass bead. How can it be so easy to break?" Yu Zhongwu rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said, "Even if it's a glass bead, it's not so easy to fall off with us around." On the ground."

His words made everyone laugh out loud, and after the laughter was over, the atmosphere in the dim sum shop gradually became less tense.

"Of course not, how can you have such good luck!" Yuan Mu said with a helpless wry smile.

"That's it?" Dai Xia couldn't help asking even though he knew the facts would definitely not be what he said.

"It's because of Lu Zhi himself." Yuan Mu looked at the soul-gathering orb in his hand that emitted a golden-red light, and said with a sigh, "We don't know what happened in it, but what is certain is that at that time The Lu Shi is in Dr. Chen's body, and he has his own consciousness. Have you heard about the zombies that appeared in the news before?"

"You mean, that's Lu Shi?" He had indeed heard of the zombie that Yuan Mu said before, and he had seen it himself, but every time it was a step too late, so that he even felt that it was a mortal corpse. People made it up when they were idle and bored.

Because according to what he knew before, the kind of zombies that mortals talk about without any collateral damage that are just scary basically don’t exist, and even if they exist, they don’t have the ability to think. The location is often fixed.

Zombies like those in the news, who can be said to be shot and changed places, almost do not exist in Dai Xia's cognition.

"That's Lu Shi who was sealed in Dr. Chen's body." Yuan Mu nodded and confirmed his statement: "From the beginning of the news, I doubted whether it was Dr. Chen. Later, we based on the time and place where he appeared. Inferred, these are regular.

He specially appeared in the middle of the night, and it was the place where we had investigated the case before, so I made a bold assumption and asked him if he was Lu Shi.Later, when we got his soul essence, this conjecture became even more certain. "

"So it's like this..." Dai Xia nodded and said, "It's no wonder why he didn't contact you directly, it turned out he was sealed!"

The conversation between the two about the discovery of Lu Zhi's spirit ended here, and did not continue, Yuan Mu changed the subject and said, "Because of these, we deduce that there is an organization behind this.

But we don't know the details of this organization now, and we don't even know their purpose.But what they know is that their target should be Yang Yang or Ning Yuan. "

"Why are they?" Before Yuan Mu finished speaking, Dai Xia interrupted him and said, "Compared to them, I think you are more likely to be the targets of others!" The you he was talking about were obviously this group. A monster with advanced cultivation.

Yuan Mu, who was interrupted, laughed lightly and said, "You have to know that if their target is us, they won't do it so easily, and the first thing they do when they have the opportunity, It is actually kidnapping Yang Yang and Ning Yuan, I believe this can explain the matter very well."
