The corridor retreated rapidly at the foot. The thick carpet sucked away the footsteps, but it couldn't suck away Chen Mo's beating heart and the roar of blood rushing in his chest (he couldn't feel the sound, but he could feel the vibration). Adrenaline soared to the limit, and there was a burning sting from the ear nail in his left ear, as if to protest against the overload use he had just forced to simulate emotional response.
He didn't look back, but he could clearly "feel" that the huge and orderly logical echo behind him, which originated from Zhou Wenyuan, just like the invisible tide, slowly diffused from the room and swept every corner of the corridor with a sense of examination and inquiry. Further away, the shadow figure that was distracted by his false echo seems to have noticed the abnormality and is turning back quickly!
Come on! Faster!
Chen Mo is almost exhausted the whole body strength in running, low-paying jobs in the lungs. The corner in front is the entrance to the side gallery of the main exhibition hall. As long as it is mixed with the crowd, Zhou Wenyuan is unlikely to openly start work on the tooling.
Just as he was about to cross the corner, the difference became steep!
Not far in front of him, the shadow of a wall lamp suddenly stretched and twisted on the originally smooth wall on one side of the corridor, stretching like a living thing, and instantly formed a thick and creeping shadow swamp on the ground in front! The edge of this swamp is still spreading, trying to block the width of the whole corridor!
Is it another shadow of Zhou Wenyuan? Or other forms of "shadow bite" power?
Chen Mo pupil contraction, forward trend has been unable to stop immediately. Seeing that he was about to step into that ominous shadow, his mind flashed and he remembered the experience of fighting against shadow autophagy on Binhe Road!
Light and shadow gap! They rely on a clear boundary between light and shadow!
The silence suddenly stopped, and at the same time, the wrist turned, and the special bright flashlight that had been hidden in the sleeve slipped into the palm. He didn't turn on the ordinary lighting mode, but directly pressed the switch of the full spectrum dispersion mode!
"shua-!"
A bright but not dazzling, evenly spread white light, centered on Chen Mo, instantly illuminates the range of several meters ahead! The light is soft but full of power, covering the walls, floors and ceilings in a uniform light that is almost invisible!
The spreading shadow swamp, like the snow splashed with oil, made a silent "hissing" whine (Chen Mo's ear nail caught sharp logical noise). Under the irradiation of uniform strong light, it twisted and boiled violently, and the edge quickly became blurred and faded, and the spreading trend was forcibly contained and even began to shrink!
Effective! But Chen Mo knows that this is only a stopgap measure. His small flashlight has limited energy, so it can't maintain this high-intensity uniform astigmatism mode for a long time, and the light may attract the attention of others (including Zhou Wenyuan).
He must take this opportunity to rush over!
Chen Mo held up his hand in one hand, maintaining the light, and the other hand had touched the light Bi around his waist (given by Su Yat sen villa). He took a deep breath and rushed forward, avoiding the dark shadow areas that have not completely dissipated with his feet, like stepping on the tip of a knife, and passing through the narrow passage temporarily "purified" by strong light!
Just as his body passed through that area, there was an extremely sharp warning from the ear nail! Behind the side, a cold, swift shadow tentacle like a poisonous snake suddenly shot out of the darkness on the other side of the wall and stabbed him in the middle of the back!
It's the shadow figure that turned back! It came back and attacked!
Chen Mo had no time to look back, relying entirely on the instinct of combat training and the early warning of earrings, and the body jerked to the side and rolled!
"before-!"
Shadow tentacles brushed his back, his suit jacket was cut open, and there was a burning sting in his skin, as if he had been scratched by an extremely cold ice blade, leaving a scar that was quickly blackened and numb. What's more frightening is that Chen Mo feels his shadow (which is actually very light under uniform astigmatism) seems to have been brushed by the tentacles, and there is a faint throbbing feeling as if it were to be stripped!
He didn't dare to stay. At the moment he rolled up, he already held the light Bi in his hand, without looking, and turned his backhand in the direction of the shadow touch, with a wave of his hand!
"Hum-!"
At the moment when the light dagger is swung out, the front end suddenly extends a half-foot-long blazing white light blade that is as solid as the essence! Light blade across the air, with a kind of purification of evil buzz (logical level), accurately cut on the tentacles of the shadow that is about to be recovered!
"poof!" A loud sound, like a red-hot knife cutting into butter. The shadow tentacles were cut off by the light blade, and a fine black-purple light spot like an electronic spark broke out at the fracture, and then quickly disintegrated and evaporated. The shadow figure in the distance uttered a silent pain roar (logical noise), and the whole figure fluctuated and blurred for a moment.
Chen Mo's strike was successful, and he didn't stop. With the reaction of the light dagger and the gap between his opponent's injury, he finally crossed the last distance and jumped into the entrance of the side gallery of the main exhibition hall!
Bright lights, soothing music and noisy voices (although he can't hear, he can feel the vibration of the air and people's expressions and actions) surround him instantly. He seems to have fallen back into the noisy world from a cold and dead nightmare.
He immediately turned off the flashlight, hid the light Bi, quickly adjusted the cut coat (fortunately, the shirt inside was not broken), and forced himself to smile just right, slightly tired and apologetic, as if he were just an ordinary guest who had just returned from the bathroom and accidentally crumpled his clothes.
The heart is still pounding, the wound on the back is burning, and the peeling feeling of the shadow has not completely disappeared. He could feel that Zhou Wenyuan's huge logical echo, like a cold probe, swept through the area through the crowd. The shadow figure didn't chase in again, and seemed to be afraid of many people here (and perhaps the harm of the light dagger), but it (or they) must still be lurking and watching in the nearby shadows.
Chen Mo quietly walked to the table where the drinks were placed, picked up a glass of ice water, and his fingers trembled slightly. He needs to find Lin Wenyuan at once, and then find a way to leave here as soon as possible and reasonably. Zhou Wenyuan may have suspected him. If he stays for one more second, he will be more dangerous.
His eyes scanned and he soon saw Lin Wenyuan in the other corner of the exhibition hall. Lin Wenyuan was having a good talk with the white-haired old man, but he didn't seem to notice the temporary abnormality in the direction of the side porch just now.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, took the cup and walked towards Lin Wenyuan.
At that moment, a gentle voice at his side:
"Lu? I thought I saw you leave in a hurry just now. What's wrong with you? "
Chen Mo a rigid body, slowly turned his head.
I don't know when, Zhou Wenyuan has come to him not far away, still with that elegant and gentle smile on his face, looking at him calmly through rimless glasses, as if just asking casually. But Chen Mo's left ear clearly "listened" to each other's words, and that cold and sharp logic, like a scalpel, tried to analyze his every subtle reaction.
The most chilling thing for Chen Mo is that Zhou Wenyuan just now clearly handled the body and manipulated the shadows in the room on the other side of the side porch. At the moment, he seemed to have never left, with a smooth breath and neat clothes, without even a wrinkle.
This person's strength and control are far beyond imagination!
"No, nothing, Mr. Zhou." Chen Mo forced himself to show a slightly embarrassed smile and gestured with sign language (at the same time, he used the mouth of "Liu Yuan" to cooperate). "It's just a little acclimatized, and my stomach is not very comfortable. I went to the bathroom. Let you laugh. "
He tried his best to make his "emotional echo" show moderate tension (because of facing the big shots), embarrassment (because of gaffes) and a little physical discomfort, covering up the stormy waves in his heart.
Zhou Wenyuan looked at him, his eyes stopped for a moment on his slightly pale face and his cut coat, and his smile remained unchanged: "So that's it. Mr. Lu has just returned from overseas and really needs to adapt. If you feel unwell, the lounge next to you can be used at any time, and I will prepare some mild drinks. "
His tone was concerned, but Chen Mo felt that the logic of examination was not relaxed at all.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhou. It's much better." Chen Mo said quickly and pointed to Lin Wenyuan's direction. "Mr. Lin is over there. I'll say hello."
He wants to get away as soon as possible.
"Be my guest." Zhou Wenyuan nodded, without stopping him, but added, "Mr. Lu has a unique opinion on the art of oriental secret instruments, and hopes to have more exchanges in the future. Especially ... I'm interested to hear your opinion on the identification of some' special materials' and' historical marks'. "
"Special materials" and "historical imprint" ... This is almost explicit! He is testing, or suggesting that he knows that Chen Mo (Liu Yuan) knows something about relics!
Chen Mo heart alarm, but can only keep a polite smile on the surface, nodded, and then almost like escape, to Lin Wenyuan.
Walking beside Lin Wenyuan, the silence was slightly relieved. He could feel that Zhou Wenyuan's eyes were still following him if there was no ground.
Lin Wenyuan seemed to perceive Chen Mo's abnormality. After talking with the white-haired old man, he took him to a slightly secluded corner and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? You look so ugly? What did you find? "
Chen Mo can't elaborate here, so he can only use his eyes to indicate that the situation is urgent, and sign a simple gesture: "I have been noticed. There is danger. You must leave at once. "
Lin Wenyuan eyes a clot, he is operatives, immediately understand the seriousness of the situation. He hesitated for less than two seconds before making a decision.
"Come with me and be natural. Just say that I suddenly have a relapse and need you to send me back." Lin Wenyuan commanded in a low voice, and then his face was a little tired and uncomfortable, and he touched his forehead with his hand.
Chen Mo knowing, immediately put on a worried look, come forward to help Lin Wenyuan's arm.
The two men said goodbye to several familiar people around them on the grounds that Lin Wenyuan was unwell, and Zhou Wenyuan naturally noticed it. He came over, asked a few questions with concern, and signaled the waiter to prepare the car.
Lin Wenyuan politely declined Zhou Wenyuan's car, saying that his driver was downstairs. Zhou Wenyuan didn't insist, just glanced at Chen Mo meaningfully, and then politely sent them to the door of the exhibition hall.
It was not until Lin Wenyuan got on the humble black car and left the line of sight of "Yundian Club" that the silence really felt a little less oppressive.
In the car, the fatigue on Lin Wenyuan's face disappeared instantly, replaced by seriousness and inquiry: "What's going on? Did you see the' ghost eye'? "
Chen Mo nodded heavily, took out the terminal (turned off all wireless signals), typed quickly, and briefly wrote down everything he had just seen in the side gallery room-Zhou Wenyuan used "Ghost Eye" Yu Pei to explore memory, cause death, manipulate shadows, and the thrilling process of being pursued later.
Lin Wenyuan looked at the words on the screen, and his face became more and more dignified. Especially when he saw the words "manipulating shadows" and "shadowing", his brow wrinkled tightly.
"Manipulation of the shadow ..." Shadow bite "event was related to him! No, it may be more than just about ... "Wen-yuan Lin muttered, eyes flashed a trace of fear," if he himself has this kind of power, or deeply combined with that level of' concept' ... that his plot, I'm afraid it is much bigger than we thought! The' ghost eye' is in his hands, and it is not just a collection or research! "
He looked at Chen Mo with unprecedented seriousness: "Boy, you are in big trouble this time. Zhou Wenyuan must have his eye on you. The identity of' Liu Yuan' can no longer be used in the future. You can't go back to your previous residence. "
"That my sister ..." Chen Mo is most worried about this.
"Your sister in the association, should be safe for the time being. Zhou Wenyuan's hand should not reach the core medical area within the association at present. " Lin Wenyuan analyzed, "But you can't. You must disappear immediately, find an absolutely safe place to hide, wait for the wind to pass, or wait for further news from Su Yatou. "
He thought about it, took out an old brass key from his pocket and handed it to Chen Mo: "This is a safe house I prepared in my early years, and even the old cat didn't know it. The address is in ... "He said the address and house number of an old-fashioned residential area which is very remote and close to the urban-rural fringe. "There are complete basic facilities, enough for you to hide for a while. Remember, after you go in, don't come out and don't contact anyone, including me, unless I or Su Shantou contact you in a specific way. "
Chen Mo took the key, knowing that it was the only way to live.
"Old Lin, the" ghost eyes "and" the other side gallery "..." Chen Mo wanted to continue the investigation.
"Let it go for a while!" Lin Wenyuan interrupted him, with a stern tone. "Life is gone, what else can we check? Zhou Wenyuan has noticed you, and if you continue to check, you will die. Save yourself first! Others, take a long-term view. "
Chen Mo was silent. He knew that Lin Wenyuan was right. The experience just now has proved that he is far from being an opponent of Zhou Wenyuan, and even the shadow he manipulated is difficult to cope with.
The car stopped at a remote street corner. Lin Wenyuan finally told him, "Get off, change to public transportation, and go around a few times before going to the safe house. Get rid of everything that may be tracked, including your association terminal (if you are not sure whether it is safe). Go! "
Chen Mo no longer hesitate, nodded to Lin Wenyuan, pushed open the door and quickly disappeared into the night.
Wen-yuan Lin looked at his back disappear, a complex expression appeared on her face, whispering:
"Whispering ... light Bi ... Sue girl, what kind of trouble did you find ... Zhou Wenyuan ...' ghost eye' ... this pool is getting deeper and deeper ..."
The black car drove away silently and merged into the traffic of the city.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, embarked on the road of escape with a painful and heavy secret.
