Indescribable cyberpunk - #633 - Chapter 618 Misfortunes never come singly
The airship parked on the side of the street. Although he has a single-family three-story building in Community No. 10, Fisher has no plans to go back in the near future. Since he plans to appear in front of the public as the agent of God’s will, he can live in a luxury house in a luxury car. No, that doesn’t fit his character.
So after leaving the show, he went straight back to the quiet alley, where his assistant had arranged a rest room in advance.
“First find the girl who just cooperated with me on the show. No matter what method you use, whether it is hiring or persuading, I want to see her appear in front of me tomorrow. Also, organize a missionary meeting as soon as possible. We have to let them know the value of this Bagua mirror. Wait, the evangelism meeting is on hold, you can find the person first.”
Realizing that the thing in his hand did not belong to him yet, Fisher ended his instructions to his subordinates rather irritably.
After stepping out of the car door and holding an umbrella, the screen turned on again before I could even put my phone back into my pocket.
“Hello, Mr. Fisher?”
In the shadows at the street corner, Zhu Jue’s eyes stayed on Fisher’s back.
“It’s me. I already have an idea about Bagua Mirror. I hope I can do it again.”
Subconsciously thinking that the other party wanted to ask for the Bagua Mirror, Fisher tried to delay time. He knew clearly that he had to keep this treasure with him.
“You misunderstood. In recent days, my distant cousin invited me to be a guest in Dawn City, so I took the liberty to contact you. I hope I can leave the Bagua Mirror at your place temporarily. Isn’t it troublesome?”
Zhu Jue had no intention of returning the Bagua mirror he bought for a total of 200 yuan. On the contrary, he had to make sure that Fisher would not run around with the Bagua mirror, which was why he made this call.
“No trouble, of course not trouble, I will keep it safe for you!”
Let alone a few days, he would not have any objection if he kept it for a lifetime.
“That’s good, I have some other matters, so I won’t disturb you.”
“goodbye.”
Ending the call in a calm tone as much as possible, he held up the Bagua mirror and kissed her fiercely in the next second. The excitement completely occupied Fisher’s mind, leaving no more space to think about why Zhu Jue put his ” “An heirloom” was placed in his hands so carelessly.
The cold wind coming towards me no longer seems so unbearable now. The smell of burning candles that used to be disgusting now smells more pleasant. The falling snowflakes are shining in the light of the lanterns hanging on the roof beams on both sides of the lane. There is also a bit of Zen in the reflection.
After walking a few steps forward, his eyes unconsciously fell on the two blue-grey statues placed at the end of the alley. On the left was the King of Growth holding a sword and glaring far away. On the right, he was holding a pipa in his left hand and leaning sideways. King Dhritarashtra with his right hand pressed down.
What is in the middle is a fluorescent light sign that was damaged earlier, but it has been repaired this evening. The light green light is set off by the vermilion wall behind, and a common saying is written in scrawled characters on it: Blessings. When Wushuang arrives, misfortune never comes alone.
“Blessings are unparalleled. Hahaha, the words of the ancients are not that effective, or are they only effective for mortals and have nothing to do with people like me?”
Thinking about his “luck” today, Fisher laughed and opened the door and walked into the courtyard. When his figure disappeared into the alleyway, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of the light sign.
It happened to cover one side of the light sign with the words “Blessings never come singly”, leaving only the other half with the words “Misfortune never comes singly”!
The rooms in Jingxiang are considered quite good places to stay in the No. 27 community. Although the decoration tends to be simple due to religious and cultural reasons, simplicity does not mean shabby, and there will be no lack of necessary things.
He took off his windbreaker and hung it behind the door. The heating in the room had already been turned on. Fisher held the remote control in his hand, twisting his neck back and forth to relax his spine, and walked to the desk next to the bed.
He pulled up his chair and sat down, then turned on the TV and adjusted to the religious channel to replay the interview show he had just participated in. After watching it for a while, he nodded with satisfaction at his previous performance and placed the Bagua mirror in his arms on the table. , took the silk cloth just brought from the waiter and wiped it carefully, for fear of any dust falling on it.
But compared to the magical ability shown in the show, the current Bagua Mirror seems to have fallen into silence. Not only has the black and purple mist on the mirror completely dissipated, but the cold touch in the hand is no longer there. On the contrary, Somewhat rough.
Moreover, without the black-purple mist to cover it up, as a person who has been hanging out in Community No. 27 all year round, Fisher looked at the Bagua mirror, and it looked like it was produced by a small workshop and cost no more than 20 federal dollars.
“Oh, how is that possible? It must be a coincidence.”
Denying the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, the silk cloth in his hand stopped on the edge of the Bagua Mirror, where a string of tiny black characters was engraved.
Dong Dong Dong~
Just as Fisher was about to take a closer look, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“who?”
Turning sideways and looking at the door, Fisher opened the drawer and put the Bagua mirror in first.
“Room service, sir.”
“Do not bother me!”
“Okay, if you need anything, please contact us at the front desk.”
The voice outside the door was a normal man’s tone at first, then suddenly became intermittent, and the tone gradually became sharper and colder, and the whole sentence stopped abruptly before the sentence was finished.
Fisher, who had just turned around, was stunned for a moment, then turned back and looked at the porch, wanting to confirm whether he had heard a hallucination just now, so he shouted: “What did you just say?”
This time, no one answered.
It was a quiet room, and I could only vaguely hear the sound of the wind outside the window.
He closed the drawer, stood up and walked to the porch. The moment Fisher crossed the bed and stepped into the porch, he felt as if he was falling on the edge of a cliff and fell into a trance.
His body swayed forward and he barely took a step. After a brief dizziness, Fisher frowned and opened his eyes. The sight in front of him made him freeze in place. Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead involuntarily, and his face turned pale.
The wall lamps on both sides of the porch were extinguished at some point, and the door, which was only two steps away from Fisher, was shrouded in shadow. The disgusting reddish-brown blood clots on the handle and door panel made him daunted.
how so?
Wasn’t everything still normal just now?
Crunch~
The sound the doorknob made when it was twisted made Fisher tremble all over, and then he turned around and ran into the room without hesitation.
Having investigated the situation of the Awakened, he knew to some extent what had happened in Qianfan City recently, including the strange epidemics and the bone trees in the lower city. He had even seen photos of the contaminated area.
How similar is it to the scene before me?
Because of this, Fisher immediately guessed that the Bagua Mirror he had revealed on the show might have caused trouble. He had never thought that he would be remembered, after all, the function of the Bagua Mirror was so miraculous.
But what Fisher didn’t expect was that the other party would come so quickly, and his methods would be even more bizarre!
Fisher may be a greedy person, but this does not mean that he is stupid. Rushing forward rashly is obviously not the right choice. The sound of opening the door just now proves that the other party is probably outside the door.
The Bagua Mirror is the key!
The moment he left the porch, everything in the room returned to its original state. Fisher looked back at the porch where the light was still on. He didn’t dare to look back and try again. He quickly ran to the desk, opened the drawer and took out the Bagua mirror, and immediately reached for the communication device beside the bed. device and be prepared to contact the front desk to ask them to call the police immediately.
Drop~
A short beep.
“Hello, how can I help you?”
The gentle female voice coming out of the communicator almost moved Fisher to tears, but when he wanted to speak, he could only let out a strenuous sob.
A black-purple energy surrounded Fisher’s neck.
It was suddenly tightened, causing him to burst into tears.
A pale hand crossed Fisher’s shoulder and turned off the communicator.
“Master God Envoy, why are you so fragile?”
A hoarse and sarcastic voice sounded in my ears.
Fischer could not look back, he could only tremble and raise his hands in the air, signaling his surrender. He could not even care about the Bagua mirror in his arms falling to the ground.
“Ha! So you are scared too? Can’t you use the Bagua Mirror to absorb spiritual energy? Pick it up!”
His cold gaze was locked on the Bagua mirror on the ground. He had to confirm whether this device really had the miraculous effects shown in the show.
At this point, Fisher obviously had no right to refuse. He trembled all over and bent down to pick up the Bagua Mirror. According to the method Zhu Jue had taught him before, he turned the convex mirror to his neck.
At this moment, because this action shortened the distance, Fisher finally saw the characters on the edge of the mirror clearly.
“Made in Suzuki Workshop”
Fisher knew Suzuki Workshop and would often go to their house to buy small items when the spiritual retreat held small religious gatherings.
Because it is a private workshop, as long as you build a good relationship, you can often get discounts.
Countless curse words filled Fischer’s mind at this moment, and because of the death threat on his neck, it turned into full of grievance and panic.
At this point, if he told the other party that this was actually a street vendor, he would probably be beaten to death. Fisher could only pretend to play with the Bagua Mirror. After a long time, he yelled: “The order is over!”
Closing his eyes, Fisher expected a miracle to happen.
The next second, his neck suddenly relaxed, and Fisher was startled. Could this Bagua mirror really be a treasure?
He slumped on the floor, opened his eyes, and through the reflection of the communicator screen on the bedside table in front of him, he saw the black-purple mist around his neck rolling towards the man in black robe standing behind him.
Even the man in black robe didn’t seem to think of this sudden situation. He froze on the spot and raised his hand to stop the mist, but it had no effect at all. He could only watch helplessly as they turned into dozens of black and purple lines, covering him. Wrap into a rice dumpling.
There was an explosion from the porch, followed by the sound of dense footsteps.
Fisher continued to stare at the screen, and saw a dark shadow flashing across the porch. In the blink of an eye, he pounced on the man in black robe behind him, raised his hand and punched him on the back. The next second, Fisher felt a chill on the back of his neck. The rich smell of blood filled his nose.
This blow did not defeat the man in black robe. His body twisted, and the body under the black robe expanded as if it had been blown. Unfortunately, before he could figure out the reason for his “expansion”, the man had a free hand. He grabbed the back of his neck and pushed him directly into the floor of the room.
Fisher could even feel the vibrations on the floor and his overwhelmed groans.
“You, the divine envoy, don’t seem to be that strong. Oh, I forgot to ask, are you scared now?”
More sinister words than those spoken by the man in black robes came from behind, and the voice sounded familiar.
At this time, he definitely didn’t dare to look back. Fisher held his breath forcibly until his face turned red, then he rolled his eyes and fell down, trying to pretend to be faint.
“Mother Rong, where is the needle?”
Zhu Jue glanced at Feishe, who was pretending to be dizzy and unable to control his breathing. He could only cooperate with his performance, pretend to turn a blind eye, and shout back.
“Who is Grandma Rong?”
Gu Gingxing walked out of the porch holding a syringe containing a powerful sedative, with confusion on her face.
I overestimated my condition and owe you an update
