Nightmare Attack

Chapter 286 Dead End
"The drums sound at the third watch, and the boat sails on the moon. Half a pair of plain bags can relieve your worries."

Looking at the words in the newspaper, the fat man had one big eye and one small eye. He pursed his lips tightly, then turned his head to look at the doctor and Xia Meng, and said, "This seems to be some kind of code word."

When he was very young, he loved to read martial arts novels, in which there were often scenes of flying pigeons passing letters, in order to prevent the information from being intercepted by opponents, so the writing was usually relatively cryptic.

I don't know if he was frightened by the doctor, but Xia Meng was particularly cooperative this time, and honestly handed over the newspaper, sitting at the table with a gloomy face, not sure what he was thinking.

It is not difficult to understand the sound of the drum at the third watch. It should be said that there was a sound of the drum at the third watch in the middle of the night, which means that Young Master Huang will come to the lake to sing opera tonight.

But in the next sentence, the boat sails on the moon
The fat man blinked, and felt that there seemed to be something implied in it. After all, a boat is a boat, but how can a boat sail to the moon.

"It's a reflection." Jiang Cheng looked at the newspaper without raising his head, and said, "It's the reflection of the moon on the lake. When the boat sails up, it's like a boat sailing on the moon."

Xia Meng's face didn't fluctuate at all, she seemed to have guessed it long ago, her eyes were focused on the last two sentences.

Half a pair of vegetarian capsules can relieve worries.

The latter sentence is easy to understand. It probably means solving the current predicament, and it can also be extended to the meaning of making a living.

She was puzzled by the first half of the sentence - half a pair of plain bags.

After all, the combination of the two sentences before and after means that this half-pack can help them find a way out.

What is Ke Su capsule?
And why is it half a pair?

If this so-called Su Nang is a real thing, it's okay, but it's just an extended meaning, something on the level of imagery, like a boat sailing on the moon.

That would be hard to guess.

"Drums will sound in the middle of the night, and the boat will sail to the reflection of the moon on the lake. With this half-pack, we can solve our most worrying things now."

Staring at the newspaper spread out in front of the doctor, the fat man used his own understanding to translate the clues and code words.

After all, there are too few clues at the moment, and there are even fewer that can be used for reasoning or mutual confirmation, so the situation is inevitably at a deadlock.

The fat man scratched his head vigorously, looking impatient. After all, it was the doctor who had the accident. "What kind of clue is this?" He sat down next to the doctor and complained, "It's useless at all!"

"Not necessarily." It was Jiang Cheng who spoke, and as the person involved, he seemed to be in a better mood than the other two, "At least we know that Young Master Huang will come to sing on the lake tonight, and there will be boats appearing. "

"The timing of the ghost's attack can also be determined." Xia Meng said in a cold voice, "It's when the boat sails to the moon's reflection on the lake."

"Whose ship?" Jiang Cheng asked very naturally.

"It may only carry Young Master Huang, or it may carry one or a few of us." Xia Meng said, "It's fine if we all take the boat together, but if we come one by one." Good luck."

The fat man on the side looked at Jiang Cheng, and then at Xia Meng after a while. He never imagined that so many things could be extracted from these seemingly incongruous words.

But there was one sentence that he heard very clearly: the ghost will attack the doctor when the boat sails into the reflection of the moon.

"Doctor." Fatty suddenly became agitated, "Then why don't we let the boat sail into the reflection of the moon? Or...or let's not get on the boat today."

In his imagination, as long as the premise of Zhou Xingyue can be prevented from happening, then the ghost will naturally have no chance to do it, and the doctor will be safe.

Xia Meng looked up at the fat man, then glanced at Jiang Cheng indistinctly, as if asking, were you serious about taking such a guy down?

But what Xia Meng didn't expect was that even under such conditions, Jiang Cheng didn't show any reasonable impatience towards the fat man, but his tone changed and his speech speed became faster.

"It's not because of that bowl of blood." Jiang Cheng said, "That's just a reminder."

"hint?"

The two brows were frowned together, and the fat man didn't understand anymore. He subconsciously thought that it was because the doctor chose the bowl of human blood that the ghosts targeted him, which led to his murder.

"What's the reminder?" The fat man asked incredulously, "It reminds you that you are being targeted?"

"Ah."

indeed.

This reason is too far-fetched, and there are too many uncertainties in it.

Fatty briefly recalled a series of things that happened after they entered the dungeon in his mind, and felt that what the doctor said made sense, and it was more like a reminder.

A hint from a ghost.

No, the fat man's pupils changed slightly, as if he suddenly realized something, it should be more appropriate to say that it is the rules.

After all, there is no absolute dead end in the mission.

"Then why are you being targeted, doctor?" the fat man asked, looking up.

"Because he didn't check Young Master Huang's pulse." Xia Meng's voice sounded, "Do you still remember what the middle-aged woman said when I went to the place where Young Master Huang lived?"

"To put it simply, there are only two requirements. One is to change costumes, and the other is to see a doctor for Young Master Huang." Xia Meng's voice sounded very confident, as if explaining the facts.

Something flashed in his eyes, the fat man swallowed, Tang Shirou, who died tragically last night, was the only one who didn't wear a costume, so she was skinned, and the doctor... was the only one who didn't see Young Master Huang , not to mention seeing a doctor.

Even Qin Jian who went up later saw Young Master Huang.

indeed.

That does. Make sense.

"Can"

The fat man seemed to want to justify something. It seemed that only in this way could the doctor have any hope of surviving.

But before he could speak, Xia Meng continued to say in a calm tone: "If he didn't go downstairs immediately, but waited a while, I think Young Master Huang will show up."

The calmness in this sentence directly ignited Fatty, and his eyes on Xia Meng immediately changed from shock to anger.

"You knew it a long time ago!" The fat man stood up suddenly, pointed at Xia Meng and cursed, "You didn't say it earlier, you...you bitch!" He gritted his teeth.

The fat man with staring eyes looked very imposing. He just stood there, blocking the light in front of Xia Meng.

It was only at this moment that Xia Meng realized that this obedient and wretched fat man who had just been cleaned up by himself was not only fat, but also very strong.

Staring at the blood-red eyes, the veins on the forehead are tense, looking like he wants to eat people.

Opening her mouth slightly, she was stunned for the first time, forgetting to refute.

"Fat man."

Until Jiang Cheng opened his mouth.

Hearing the doctor's voice, the fat man's expression eased a lot, but he still stood there without sitting down, as if he was going to settle the score with Xia Meng after listening to the doctor's words.

"It has nothing to do with her," Jiang Cheng said.
