Chapter 311 Night Vigil
“Ahem.” Xia Meng swallowed a trace of the bloody smell in her throat, stared into Jiang Cheng’s eyes, and said fiercely: “You will definitely regret it.”
"The bed is over there." Jiang Cheng reached out and pointed at the bed where Xia Meng slept, and the threat was self-evident.
Xia Meng shut up immediately. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "No more, just the two of them."
"Who are they?"
Xia Meng looked at Jiang Cheng, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a few words through her teeth: "Night Watch." She said harshly: "They are Night Watch."
These three words seemed to represent something special. Jiang Cheng keenly discovered that when Xia Meng mentioned these three words, something subconsciously appeared in her eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Cheng asked: "Are they here for Crimson?"
"Yes."
Nodding, Jiang Cheng's previous guess was not wrong. The middle-aged man said that Crimson is so terrifying and cruel, so in order to survive, the players in the nightmare will inevitably organize a force to compete with it.
It seems that the Night Watchman is one of them.
"Are you also a member of the Night Watch?" Jiang Cheng looked at Xia Meng and asked.
“No.”
“You’d better be smarter.” Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows pointedly, “Otherwise, you know the consequences.”
Xia Meng was extremely angry, but she had no other choice. She had already decided to go out and settle the score with him. "I said, no, it's up to you, believe it or not."
"What is the original intention of the Night Watch?" Jiang Cheng continued to ask: "It can't just be to fight against the Crimson."
The name Night Watch sounds very decent, and the literal meaning is to protect people. The type of person who enjoys peace at night is closer to a guardian-like existence.
Seemingly reading Jiang Cheng’s thoughts, Xia Meng swallowed and nodded, “You are right, the original intention of the Night Watch is to deal with nightmares, and they are looking for a way to end nightmares. , but nightmares are Crimson’s hunting grounds, and they are a group of lunatics immersed in nightmares.” She glanced at Jiang Cheng guiltily, “Crimson’s cruelty is. You can't imagine it. You should be lucky that you didn't fall into their hands."
Jiang Cheng ignored her completely. He only cared about the questions he wanted to know, so he squinted and mocked: "Why didn't I see it? The night watchman is as beneficial to the country and the people as you said."
Xia Meng was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that he was talking about Tang Shirou.
"I don't know why An Xuan did this." Xia Meng explained: "But he must have his reasons. Maybe. I said maybe, there was something wrong with the intelligence he received."
Jiang Cheng frowned, "Maybe? Don't you share information?"
"Of course not." Xia Meng replied: "I have already said, I am not a member of the Night Watch, I am just with them There are some contacts based on cooperation, and we have no affiliation."
"There is no need to tell them my information, and they don't need to tell me."
"But they. You know we are together," Jiang Cheng leaned forward, stared at her and said, "Isn't that right? And you also told them the information in the clue newspaper."
"This is all to fight against Crimson." Xia Meng said very naturally: "This is the best choice."
There were footsteps outside the door. It was not clear, but it was barely audible. After a while, the fat man poked his head in and said, "Doctor, please hurry up." , Someone's coming!"
Turns his head, Jiang Cheng looked towards the door and said, "I'm done."
The fat man saw Xia Meng lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state. , muttered something really fast, turned around and closed the door again.
After hearing someone talking outside, Jiang Cheng immediately changed his face. While squatting down and helping Xia Meng stand up, he patted the dust on her butt and said, "Miss Xia." He nodded with a smile. Said: "It was just a joke, you were shocked."
Xia Meng had already decided in her heart that he was sick, had mental problems, and his emotions were extremely uncontrollable. At least before going out, she didn't want to have any more conflicts with him.
"Creak——"
The door opened.
The fat man walked in first, followed by An Xuan and others. When he saw Jiang Cheng supporting Xia Meng, the latter was half leaning on Jiang Cheng because he had not yet recovered from the previous panic. At this time, everyone's eyes paused for a moment.
After noticing the change in everyone's gaze, Jiang Cheng immediately put on a straight face and said to the fat man with some complaints: "Why didn't you tell us in advance that someone was coming?"
The fat man understood and defended: "Who knew you took so long this time!"
Xia Meng shivered and almost fell to the ground again, then she gritted her teeth and pushed Jiang Cheng away. After so long, her body It has also recovered a lot.
A few subtle glances wandered back and forth between the two of them, especially Jiang Cheng who subconsciously adjusted his clothes and belt.
The next second, Youqi's throat rolled violently.
"You guys, what's the matter with your sudden visit?" Jiang Cheng's cheeks turned red and he panted.
An Xuan's eyes stayed on him for two seconds, and then said: "The painting has changed again, and I would like to invite you to take a look."
It wasn't until they stood in front of the painting that everyone realized the change. How big, or how specific.
Almost all the women in the painting turned around. In addition to the previous attic, there was also a blood-colored full moon on their backs, and the circle on the attic also revealed their true form.
It is indeed a drum.
Exactly like what they saw in the attic.
"Mr. Hao." An Xuan suddenly looked at Jiang Cheng, pointed to a certain place in the painting with his eyes, and then said, "Did you see anything unusual about this drum?"
This drum is very well painted. It's so lifelike, it's almost like it was captured with a camera, every trace is almost perfectly restored.
The texture of the drum head and the mottled feeling on the drum body are hard to imagine. This is the feeling that a painting can show. The most important thing is that it is extremely vivid!
It’s like the soul has been imprinted into it.
Most of the face of the woman in the painting is smiling, and her bright eyes are almost breathtaking. After looking at it for a long time, the woman in the painting seems to be dancing out of the painting, stepping on the moving steps. melody.
There is a light-colored tattoo on the back a little lower than the exposed neck.
The reason why they say it is a tattoo is because of their preconceptions. It could also be a birthmark or some other special mark.
But these are not important. What is important is that, slightly off the edge of the drum, there is a mark that is exactly the same as the one on the back of the woman in the painting.
After noticing this, everyone present fell silent.
In fact, Jiang Cheng had roughly guessed the origin of this drum as early as when he was in the attic.
Human skin drum.
The drum head of this drum is wrapped in human skin. Obviously, it is the poor woman in the painting. This also explains why everyone killed by ghosts was skinned in the end. .
This is the revenge of the ghost.
"Sister Gu." Chen Qiang stared at the painting and said in a low voice. (End of this chapter)
