【Thousand Fantasy】Bat

A ray of light enveloped the Qihai mansion, looking like a white rainbow penetrating the sun from a distance.

"The thorns are coming out." Qiankong held the binoculars and saw that the thorns were waiting outside the gate of Qihai's house with arms folded, but the girl named Wuyu did not follow.Feeling weird, he looked at the camera attached to his phone.

He was stunned, because he saw from the surveillance that Kiritame was standing at the center point he had measured, with one hand covering his face and crying, while holding the petrochemical device in the other.Long Shui was not far away from her, and seemed to be trying to stop her.

Both of them turned into stone statues under the light of petrification light.The petrochemical device is still held in Wuyu's hands.

After the white light passed, Thorn smiled and turned back to recover his battle results and weapons.

"No, we have to get ahead of him." Qian Kong kicked the accelerator and rushed towards the gate.In order not to be seen, they parked far away, some distance from the gate.Hearing the sound of the car starting, Thorn glanced this way, and immediately closed the door.

They originally planned to intercept the petrochemical device, follow the thorns and mist and rain who returned to Nanami's house to recover the petrochemical device, and subdue them while they were not paying attention.Therefore, young cadres with good marksmanship were specially brought along.

Of course, Qian Kong didn't want to just kill Thorn to end the matter.In fact, he couldn't do that either.If Thorn was shot at Nanami's mansion, Long Shui's career, which had just started on the right track, would be over.He just wanted to scare Thorn and his skilled female bodyguard, and force them to leave Nanami's house.

But unexpectedly, Thorn would be ruthless and give up Wuyu completely.

The car braked sharply in front of the door, and Francois got out of the car first to open the door that had to be closed once it had to enter a password to reopen.When the four rushed in, the thorns had disappeared.

It's over, I can't catch up, once the petrification device is taken by Thorn, it's all over.

Chiku still didn't give up.His mind clearly told him that he had lost to the thorns, but his body continued to run wildly in the direction of the fog and rain.

When he was exhausted and came to the position where the vertical line was, he saw the back of the thorn in a daze.

Long Shui still maintained the posture of stretching out his hands, as if wanting to pounce on someone to stop him.But where he was going to jump, there was nothing.

Thorn turned around and looked at Chiku with red eyes.

"Where's Wuyu?!" He shouted angrily.

François and the young cadre had arrived, the latter drawing a pistol.

"Mr. Thorn, although I don't know what your purpose is, it's not good to break in privately, right?" Francois glanced at the stone statue of Longshui from the corner of his eye, and said nonchalantly.

The battle-tested old businessman immediately calmed down.He knew that he had lost everything.But due to his status, the little butler of Longshui had to give him a step down.

"Sorry, I left my coat here just now, uncle, I will leave immediately." He forced out a smile.

At this time, his eyes fell on the last person who came here.

The other three were flushed from running, only he was still porcelain white, neither sweating nor panting.He stood there with his sleeves folded, and when his eyes met, he showed an inexplicable smile to the thorns.

It is "bat".

Thorn has never met him, but because of him, he has leaked important secrets several times.He often heard people mention that this intelligence dealer possessed a terrifying power.The tattoo on the cheek that looks like a devil's smile is the symbol of "bat".Thorn believes that he has not admitted his mistake.

Some people say that maybe the "bat" is not human.

On such an occasion, even Qian Kong was almost in a mess, but he stood there with leisure, and he could still smile calmly.It doesn't look like a human being.

Thorn walked quickly between them and said, "Uncle, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

No one stopped him, because the only four people in the house who could move had no reason to stop him.

"What happened?" Qian Kong asked.

When he turned around, seeing Huan's expression, he immediately understood what he had done.Huan smiled and said: "I asked a servant to hide outside the back door, and when the petrification light passed, he rushed in and took away Wu Yu who was holding the petrification device and hid it."

Although the straight-line distance from the front and rear doors to the midpoint is almost the same, because the back door is full of spacious courtyards and there are fewer houses, it is actually faster to reach the midpoint.This makes sense.

"Are you a prophet?" Qiankong looked at Huan.Although the plan was planned by him, and it was finally finalized after accepting some of Huan's proposals.But Gen didn't tell him that he had prepared plan B.

"Don't underestimate the intelligence dealer's strategy." Huan Xiang smiled as usual and wanted to deal with it, but found that Qian Kong's brows had never been relaxed.

This move is indeed a risky move.

In fact, the moment the Shadow Bat saw Kiritame running towards the center, he summoned the doll and let the doll take away the stone statue of Kirisame who was petrified the next moment.

"Which servant is it? The young master should reward him." Francois asked.She didn't find any clues, and she was sincerely relieved that she had successfully snatched the petrochemical device.

Huan didn't answer her question, but said: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's quickly help everyone to undo the petrification."

Chiku had long expected that the worst outcome of this battle would be that the Nanami family would be petrified again.Therefore, he prepared double rejuvenation liquid.Francois nodded, and returned to the place where Qiankong stored the rejuvenation liquid as planned.

When only Qiankong and Huan were left, the former said, "Where is Wuyu? I want to see the petrochemical device."

Huan pointed to a room not far away: "I asked that servant to hide in that room."

Senku went straight to the house Gen pointed at.When I opened the door, there was indeed a young man in a servant's uniform inside, and beside him was a stone statue of Kirisame.Seeing someone coming in, he hurriedly said hello and went out.

Senku knelt down and took out the petrochemical device from Kirisame's hand.For the first time, he saw clearly what this monster that subverted his understanding of science looked like.

It looked like some kind of metal, lined with dense notches.

"I took this back." Qian Kong put it in the bag.

When the servant went out just now, he glanced at it indiscriminately.The other party looked familiar.Familiarity is natural, he has been here quite a few times, and he has seen many servants in Qihai's family.However, this kind of familiarity does not mean that the person has a memory of the other person's face after being in close contact with each other.To be precise, he didn't have the slightest impression of this face in his brain.However, this person gave him a very familiar feeling.

The facial features are very delicate, and the figure is also good.From a purely human perspective, it is so perfect that it is easy to attract attention.However, there was a slight incongruity in the expression on that delicate face.It seemed that the twitching of his facial muscles did not come from inner emotional changes, but was set up like this by someone.

Just like the waiter in "The Dog Ghost Lantern", every expression is just right.

It was also like the shallow mist magic he saw for the first time.

I imagined that he was going to leave, and said: "Then I will go back first, there is still something to do in the store. Remember to tell me the research results."

He actually wanted to say something to Qian Kong.With their relationship, saying goodbye should not be so simple.However, he couldn't say anything more.

He has already noticed that the moment he saw the Wuyu stone statue disappear, the way Qiankong looked at him changed.Although he didn't immediately express doubts about Gen, such a change of mood was hard to fool the demon.Especially when they got the petrochemical device, scientists completely believed that there are indeed some things in this world that modern science cannot explain.

Gen's heart hadn't been beating so violently for a long time.Compared with humans, the devil's organs are more similar to a sleeping state, as if they are just fillings in the body and do not need to actually work.Now, the heart suddenly resumed its original function, pounding hard.

He went back to the "Ghost Lantern" and flipped the "Closing" sign to "Open".

Pushing open the door, he saw a cold, empty room in front of him.And the moment he stepped in, the warm-toned wallpaper and floor tiles began to spread from him to the whole room.The tables and chairs, the bar counter and even the small stage directly in front of them all reappeared in the store.

The lighting is ambiguous, the music is soft, the guests are sitting sparsely, the waiters shuttle back and forth, and the clown performs a funny show on the stage.

He found a chair and sat down, thinking, this is where he belongs.Instead of mixing with those humans.

The game is screwed.

However, this is normal.Since it's a game, there are winners and losers.This time I lost to Ishigami Qianku, just change to a new prey.

But, he said, I like you a little bit.

The devil held his chin, and the clown in the stands fell to the ground. Countless colorful balls burst out of him, filling the entire stage.The clown tried to stand up, but was slipped by the ball.Stand up again, slip and fall again.

The plot he devised doesn't look funny now.

He turned his head, and saw Qianku who was sitting across the table before his eyes.He kissed him then, and couldn't help it.

He blew out a puff of smoke as soft as cotton candy.Following his memory, he shaped Baiyan into Qiankong.The puppet just came to life and sat down opposite him.He reached out and stroked the doll's cheek—it was cool, just like his own.

The puppet lowered its eyes and behaved submissively.This is the familiar's instinctive reaction to the master's caress.But this is not like Qian Kong.Qian Kong always smiled flamboyantly, as if there was nothing in this world that could deny him.So the owner's fingertips rubbed the doll's lips to make it smile, and the doll moved the corners of its lips, pulling out a stiff smile.

With a snap, the puppet disappeared in his fingers.

Boring, the demon thought dejectedly.

In the research institute, an intern knocked on the door of Qian Kong's office: "Mr. Qian Kong, I have compared it, and I can't find this kind of text in the literature in the library."

As soon as Chiku returned to the research institute, he removed the scratches on the petrochemical device.Intuition told him that this was some kind of text.If it can be identified and interpreted, it will help him further understand the device.

For a week after his return, as best he could, he could not find out what the petrochemical device was made of.At first, he thought it was metal, but a few simple experiments to detect metal failed.It cannot be corroded by any chemical reagent, let alone destroyed by pure physical means.

This small thing that can petrify human beings is like not belonging to the earth.Therefore, he pinned his hopes on finding out the meaning of those notches on it.But after it was extracted, it was handed over to several interns at the same time, and they all said that they could not find any words that could match these notches in the database.

I can only ask questions, Qian Kong thought subconsciously.

As soon as this idea came up, he was dismissed.He knew that Huan had something to hide from him, and this matter was related to the description of him in those rumors.In fact, Qian Kong has noticed the strangeness of Huan more than once.His own absence in the bar, the madness of the night he went to bed for the first time, and the impossible situation were easily resolved by him.

Qian Kong wanted to ask clearly, but at Long Shui's house, he didn't ask anything.Phantom didn't say anything.They both sensed what the other was thinking, and then ended their relationship in an incomparable tacit agreement.

Huan is afraid, so why not him.

"Why don't I ask my archeology classmate to look it up? Maybe it's an ancient script from some country." The intern looked at him and asked cautiously, frowning.

"No need, I have a friend who might know, I'll ask him." Qian Kong was interrupted by the intern and just blurted out.He hadn't made up his mind yet, but the words had already been spoken, as if he had cut off his retreat.

Is it because you subconsciously want to see him?

He is not good at interpreting his complex thoughts and changes, and he will only follow the guidance of his heart.Since such an idea has arisen, it must have its reasons and significance.

So, Qiankong took the petrochemical device and came to Huan's house not far from the research institute.

This house was different from the one he saw when he came out that morning. It seemed to be a lot old and dilapidated, and the outer walls were covered with green vines.He rang the doorbell, and it didn't make a sound after a few presses.He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the door creaked open.

It turned out it wasn't locked at all.

He walked in, and in front of him was a dilapidated corridor.A thick layer of dust has accumulated on the ground, as if no one has lived in it for a long time.When I came out again, I saw a note saying the house was for sale.

When Huan brought him here that day, the house looked new and clean.

Yes, how could he happen to live near the research institute.Such a simple lie, I have no doubts at all.

Qianku drove to "Inugui Lantern" again, a small bar that was only open during the day and was open.He opened the door and went in, and a waiter came to him with a tray.

The waiter had a face exactly like his, and smiled politely when he saw him.

The eyes were too dark, he thought, and his own were not so red.But the waiter who parked the car outside is more like himself.

Gen sprawled on the bar counter, with a row of empty liquor bottles in front of him.For humans, this is completely lethal.But he looked awake, with some redness around his eyes.Because of this, he didn't notice outsiders coming in.

He stared at the person in front of him for a while.

It's so similar, and the expression is very vivid, when did you pinch it?Could it be because he drank alcohol that he felt that this doll looked like him?

He reached out and touched a warm face.

Then sat up all of a sudden.
