After Pei Yuan said this, the impostor was very curious: "What loophole are you talking about?"

Pei Yuan looked at him fixedly: "It's you. You are the loophole."

The counterfeit tilted his head: "Okay, even if you got the answer right. The last question, who am I?"

This person pretending to be Ling is either Zhiri or Lanjin. Pei Yuan was not sure about it before, but this tilting of his head made him very sure: "You are Lanjin."

The impostor blinked, turned his head to the side and said, "He guessed me."

There are people here.

Pei Yuan immediately looked over. Not surprisingly, he saw a figure appearing silently in the woods ahead. He was standing beside a tall banyan tree with a mask on his face.

After he saw the loophole in the corridor, Zhiri appeared.

Lan Jin changed back to her original appearance, still with brilliant blond hair, immature face, and a smile comparable to the sun.

"How is big brother?" Lan Jin asked, "Will he come back?"

Zhiri came over, bowed his head and said to Lan Jin: "Forget about him, he won't come back again."

Lan Jin was a little confused: "Will he never buy me ice cream again?"

"No." Although he has never bought it for you before.

Lan Jin was still a little frustrated: "He said he would buy that ice cream shop, and we can go back."

Both Pei Yuan and Zhi Ri were silent, no one exposed this lie.

Lan Jin just said to himself: "However, there is no way to go back. My eldest brother left me—it's all because of you."

He turned to Pei Yuan, his blue eyes were full of calm anger.

"You snatched the elder brother." Lan Jin said, and suddenly laughed, "As long as I kill you, the elder brother can come back."

His eyes turned red.

Seeing the blood red color, Pei Yuan felt relieved, which meant that he still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.He already understood that Lan Jin's weakness was his elder brother, Yin Shui.

"I didn't snatch him away." Pei Yuan said, "He came to me just to solve the mystery of the prophecy poem. You also know that his prophecy poem is blank. He thinks I know why."

After he finished speaking, he noticed a complex look in Zhiri's eyes. He had seen this person in the dressing room of the theater. Although he was still a cat at that time, he also looked at him in the same way. He had seen through his identity a long time ago, but for some reason, he didn't reveal it.

The same is true now, he knew the reason for the blankness of the prophecy, but he didn't say it.

What is this person thinking?

Zhiri looked away and looked elsewhere, neither Pei Yuan nor Lan Jin.

"This is the prophecy poem you mentioned?" Lan Jin took out the parchment with patterns printed on it, on which densely packed lines of poetry were vaguely written.

Pei Yuan nodded: "This is it."

Lan Jin was thoughtful: "Brother, he is indeed staring at the blank piece of paper in a daze, so he is worrying about this?"

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled and blinked at Pei Yuan: "Mr. Killer, let's exchange. If you tell me how to make big brother's prophecy poem appear, I will show you my poem."

"This is not good." Zhiri frowned and stopped.

However, Lan Jin didn't seem to hear his words: "That's it, Mr. Killer, you found the loophole in this corridor, that is me, you are free, so come and trade with me."

Lan Jin said with a bright face.

...This person becomes quite fast.

Pei Yuan sighed silently, Zhi Ri next to him was still frowning, but he didn't stop him.He probably also knew that it was impossible for him to stop Lan Jin. He was the incarnation of angels and devils, synonymous with willfulness and impermanence. No one could guess what he was thinking, and naturally they couldn't understand him.

Pei Yuan didn't think it would work like this: "I'm afraid I can't agree, I don't know how to make your elder brother's prophecy poem appear, and the appearance of the prophecy poem is not a good thing for him."

Lan Jin tilted his head habitually, and looked at his prophecy poem in confusion: "What kind of bad content does this poem say? It's a pity that I don't know how to read. Can you read it to me?"

The prophecy poem was placed in front of Pei Yuan, Zhi Ri did not stop him, Pei Yuan glanced at him hesitantly, and took the prophecy poem.

The title of the poem is "The Blue Mockingbird".

blue robin

died before dawn

said the sparrow, i killed the mockingbird

with my bow and arrow

Said the fly, I saw him die

with my little eyes

The fish said, I took his blood

use my little plate

The beetle said, I'll make the shroud

with my needle and thread

……

Pei Yuan roughly glanced down a few lines, and immediately realized something was wrong.

The content of this prophetic poem is very familiar, and it is almost the same as the nursery rhyme "Who Killed the Mockingbird", which is a dark horror nursery rhyme. The robin is a bird that symbolizes happiness, and the sparrow that killed it It represents the extradition of the undead and is an ominous bird.

But who killed the mockingbird?Just sparrows?In fact, all animals participated in this murder. They were all witnesses and bystanders. There was one murderer, and there were countless.

"Is there something wrong with this poem?" Lan Jin asked, the red in his eyes receding.

Pei Yuan shook his head: "No, it's just a nursery rhyme. Have you heard of "The Moon and Sixpence"?"

This time it was Lan Jin's turn to shake his head: "I know the moon, although I haven't seen it for a long time, but what is sixpence?"

"Oh, that's a fiat currency. Simply put, it's coins, or money. There is a saying that when people look up at the moon, they may forget the sixpence under their feet."

Lan Jin looked incomprehensible: "So what?"

"Because the light of the moon attracts all his attention, he can't see anything else, even the money under his feet. That's what your prophetic poem says, your attention is too focused on other things place, so that you won't be able to see what's under your feet." Pei Yuan spoke nonsense seriously.

Zhiri next to him blinked in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.Compared with the horrible death nursery rhyme, this story of ideals and reality is much gentler, although Pei Yuan didn't intend to explain it in this way.

Lan Jin smiled brightly: "Mr. Killer, it's not good to lie."

Pei Yuan's eyelids twitched uneasily: "I didn't lie."

"That sentence itself is a lie." Blue Gold said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I know the story of the moon, it is a terrible story, if it is not the book my brother gave me, I will use it to light the fireplace —that's its only use."

"Yin Shui gave you this book?" Lan Jin here should be an illiterate child, why did Yin Shui give him the book?Wouldn't it be better to give him his favorite ice cream?Moreover, there is also the book "The Moon and Sixpence" in the amusement park. Don't the settings here avoid reality?

Pei Yuan glanced at Zhiri in confusion, but the guardian didn't look at him.

Lan Jin's eyes turned red again: "Mr. Killer, do you have any last words?"

"Wait, you said that we are making a deal, and you can't kill your partner before the deal is completed." Pei Yuan said hastily.

"But you rejected my deal just now, so I should be able to kill you." Lan Jin held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, inviting him, "Mr. Killer, metal or gunpowder, which one do you choose? "

The scene was the same as when they first met, except that his identity had changed from "bait" to "fugitive" and now "killer".

Zhiri has no intention to stop him, he is ready to stand by and watch, just like in the nursery rhyme, the fly saw the death of the robin.

The ball python in his pocket was trembling, Pei Yuan touched it guiltily, if it really didn't work, he had to use safe words to leave here, this timid ball python can only rely on itself.

"Mr. Killer, which one do you choose?"

Lan Jin took a step forward, smiling brightly, but aggressively.

"I--"

Just as Pei Yuan was about to speak, the ball python in his pocket suddenly jumped out, coiled into Pei Yuan's hand, opened his sharp mouth fiercely at Lan Jin, and spitting out a message in protest.

However, its body was still trembling.

Lan Jin looked curiously at the ball python that threatened him but kept shaking: "Ah Huang, so you are still alive, I thought you were scared to death a long time ago."

The ball python bared twice more, then wilted away.

It has long been tossed and tossed by Lan Jin, and it is lucky to be alive, and now it is against him, it is not life.It bared half-deadly, and weakly lay back on Pei Yuan's hand.

Pei Yuan: "..."

This ball python is probably the most ignorant of the ball python, and somehow it made him feel a little distressed.He hid the timid ball python behind him, and looked at Lan Jin: "I choose you, you won't kill a mockingbird."

Lan Jin showed that naive mixed with doubt expression again: "Mr. Killer, the answer is wrong."

Then, the gun was pointed at Pei Yuan: "You and that stupid snake can both go to hell."

Lan Jin smiled innocently and pulled the trigger.

The bullet was flying towards him, and Pei Yuan could even see its trajectory. He was betting that the bullet would not kill him, and that Zhi Ri, who was watching from the sidelines, would make a choice.

No.

Nothing at all.

The bullets were coming his way, Zhiri did nothing.

Said the fly, I saw him die

with my little eyes

Use those eyes behind the mask.

He is going to lose.

The bullet would hit his forehead, his head would be as sticky as a broken cherry cake, and he would die in reality.

It was too late for him to say the safe word, he didn't even intend to say it.

The timid ball python clung to him tremblingly, making him unable to let go.

Bullets flew over, coming to kill him.

— That poem says our destiny, I will die, we will all die.

——Little cat, can I trust you?

——The only one who can kill us is you.

The voices of the dead echoed in his ears, one after another, intertwined and overlapping, and finally disappeared into the same voice.

The sound of silence.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, a figure rushed over.

Faster than a bullet, unable to capture the shadow, Pei Yuan suddenly bumped into an embrace, someone hugged him, and instantly moved his position.

The bullet passed through the air and sank into the tree.

Pei Yuan left the other party's arms, and when he looked up, he saw Yin Shui's inquiring eyes: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Pei Yuan checked the ball python, and it was fine. It was very happy to see its master reappearing, completely forgetting that Yin Shui wanted to kill it before.However, Yin Shui only glanced at it lightly.

They were already in another forest, Lan Jin and Zhi Ri were left behind, unable to catch up for a while.
