Weird Regulator

Shanghai City, Tiantanghe Cemetery.

Tongguan sat on the stone steps, holding Chang Nian who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and looked into the distance.

With his back to the two white tombstones, he always felt empty in his heart, because this tomb was also a cenotaph.

It was already 10:10 on January 3rd, and he had been trapped in the cemetery for half a day, and even the commission mission had ended.

He didn't worry about Ji Li's mission. Even if he didn't go, Fang Shenyan would probably go. With those two people, it would be difficult for accidents to happen.

In the clear wind and bright moon, Tongguan lowered his head and looked at Chang Nian's hands wrapped around his waist, sleeping in a very dependent posture, but his mind was thinking about other things.

Since the Kyoto mission, when Ji Li showed him the photo, the relationship between the two parties has eased to a certain extent, and they have been at peace.

In the mission experience again and again, he and Ji Li, Chang Nian and Ji Li have cooperated from time to time.

But avoiding and not thinking about many things does not mean that they do not exist.

Eighteen years ago, Ji Li broke into his house with three men in black robes and forcibly took his parents away. This is a fact.

Even if he really stood from a rational point of view and briefly formed an alliance with Ji Li to jointly explore whether there were any secrets behind it, this matter was still like a thorn in his throat.

After all, so far, neither he nor Ji Li had dug up any clues at all, about eighteen years ago or fifty years ago.

Tongguan would not do those stupid things. Ji Li was Ji Li. He had many secrets, but he was definitely on the opposite side of Tianhai.

There were many hidden stories behind the parents.

Fifty years ago, Tong En and his wife were close friends with Ji Li, but how did they live to eighteen years ago? What happened in the thirty-two years of interruption?

For Tongguan, although he did not dig out the truth, he had already made a general judgment on the matter.

The first guess was about his parents.

Tong En and A Jing, as Tianhai shop assistants fifty years ago, gave birth to him twenty-five years ago and accompanied him until he was seven years old.

These seven years were probably paid for at a great cost.

As for the second guess, it is related to Ji Li, Tianhai and Tongguan itself.

For so long, there has been no clue about this matter, not even a clue.

Tongguan has a bolder and more abstract guess - some force is deliberately hiding clues and designing a scheme to delay the release of the truth.

Why did Tongguan and Chang Nian come to Tianhai? There was a push from fate, but more of it was human manipulation.

They were led to Tiantanghe Cemetery by an organization called "Suicide Club" and entered the eleventh branch after opening a tomb.

Here he unveiled the veil of his parents' secrets, but he stopped there, and no subsequent clues appeared.

This is a thunder.

Since arriving in Tianhai, the fuse has been lit, but it has never exploded, but time is always passing and the fuse is always shortening.

Tongguan can feel that when this thunder explodes one day, it will have a strong impact on him, Ji Li, and the situation of the entire Tianhai.

Including now.

Someone didn't let him participate in the commission task, the purpose was to delay the time of the thunder explosion.

Tongguan's eyes were once again placed in the distance. There were stars in the traceless night sky, as if the road ahead was bright, but this road was so dark for him.

He knew his character - following the rules and regulations, step by step, almost rigid.

From this moment on, he was also thinking, behind this character, whether it also foreshadowed his fate, being completely framed by something.

"What time is it?"

Chang Nian opened her sleepy eyes, with a lazy tone, it can be seen that she slept very peacefully this time.

Tongguan supported her shoulders, stood up on the stone steps, stomped his numb feet gently, and said to her with a smile:

"Let's go, we should be able to go home."

...

In the taxi to the high-speed rail station, Tongguan, who had been tossing for a day and a night, also became sleepy and fell asleep in the back seat. Chang Nian hugged his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. Her long hair hung down to cover her face. She seemed to be resting, but her eyes were always open.

Tonight, Tongguan, who returned to his parents' grave again, was very different from the past.

Before this, Tongguan would always fall into melancholy and confusion when facing his parents, telling about those bitter and hateful past events.

But this time he didn't mention a word about these things, just chatting about family matters and recent developments, and his mood was particularly calm.

Tongguan, on the surface, is strong, but in fact, the environment he grew up in has led to a weak side in his character.

It's just that in this situation now, he has to hide his weakness and force himself to be strong.

Chang Nian understands everything, so she won't say it, but just silently supports behind her.

She can guess what Tongguan's performance tonight represents.

This is definitely not a benign signal, indicating that Tongguan has confirmed something in his heart.

And he, who has a flawed character, may not be able to make the most correct decision.

Chang Nian is not inferior to her husband in many aspects, and even better, so she can basically guess what Tongguan can think of.

"If... if this bomb really explodes one day, it will definitely bring a disaster to Tongguan.

He can do everything well, but the matter of his parents has become a shadow in his life.

By then, he will definitely make a mistake, or even an extreme decision. I must stop him, otherwise..."

Outside the hurriedly passing car window, the reflection of Shanghai City is gradually moving away from them. The couple who once took root in this land are destined to stay away from it.

No one can predict what kind of situation they will face when they come again next time.

Chang Nian listened to Tongguan's gradually steady breathing above her head, and she looked at the familiar streets with a nostalgic mood.

The passing bus stop, the bus that could not leave, and a man in purple A masked woman in purple clothes...

An old woman burning paper on the roadside, burnt yellow paper drifting away in the wind, a masked woman in purple clothes...

A stray dog ​​running around frightened by the vehicle, swaying flowers and plants when entering the bushes, a masked woman in purple clothes...

Chang Nian's face began to become solemn. She pressed Tongguan's arm and slowly sat up without disturbing him, looking out of the car window with a pair of sharp eyes.

In just 5 seconds, the woman in purple clothes and wearing a mask has appeared 3 times in a row. This is definitely not an ordinary scene.

Although The scene was very strange, but she did not analyze it in the direction of ghosts, because she had heard about this masked woman many times from other people.

This woman had no name, Ji Li called her "Miao Jiang".

Miao Jiang in Shanghai City watched Tongguan and Chang Nian leave in a way of seeing them off.

Then the more certain truth - being trapped in Shanghai was also done by Miao Jiang.

Chang Nian's breathing was a little disordered, and she realized a very terrible thing, but it was impossible.

Miao Jiang and Gu Xingjian were tied together.

Miao Jiang trapped them. Here, you are not allowed to participate in commission tasks. Is it related to Gu Xingjian?

But Gu Xingjian is dead, isn't he...

This time, even Chang Nian had an involuntary fear of the well-known Gu Xingjian. She subconsciously thought of the World Heritage Museum.

Tongguan was trapped in the relief and almost died tragically. Behind this was the trick of Miaojiang and Gu Xingjian.

Chang Nian's eyes began to be extremely angry. The anger was about to burn her reason. She looked back at the increasingly distant Shanghai with hatred and read out their names.

"Gu Xingjian, Miaojiang!"
