Demolition

Ye Ji looked at Lu Chen worriedly

"Achen, are you alright?"

"I...what else do you know?" Lu Chen hoarse.

"And this." Ye Ji took out a stack of papers from his bosom, which was his locust tree paper, "I found it from you, I know it's something you used to pass on news, the third prince didn't ask , I didn’t give it to him.”

Lu Chen took it over and looked at it, then carefully put it away again

"Are you looking for everything on me?"

"kindness."

"What else did you find?"

"An iron chain, a book, and a piece of paper. These were all taken away by the third prince."

"what book?"

"A wordless book."

"No words?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the third prince has been looking for someone to study it these days, and I heard that there is not a single word in it."

"Is there any writing on the outside?"

"Yes, it seems to be Zengguang Xianwen."

Lu Chen was taken aback, Zengguang Xianwen?Isn't this a book that my father often reads? Why is it on me?How could it be a wordless book?

"The chain?"

"I didn't look carefully, but Xiaoye told me something before, I think," Ye Ji hesitated, "this is what the emperor asked Xiaoye to look for at that time."

"what?"

"Do you still remember what I said that we met a group of demented crow-removing people outside Shangrao City?"

"kindness."

"Then you still remember the unnamed corpse case you investigated before?"

"remember."

"They're all the same, it's because of the crow removal."

"Demolition of crows? So many people? Why are they demolishing crows? Isn't there any record in Yinxiao Building?"

Ye Ji shook his head

"None of them were voluntary."

"You mean, someone forced the raven-removal man to remove the crows? How did it work? Why?"

"I didn't understand all the ins and outs, I just speculated. The iron chain should be evidence, but I don't know how to prove it."

"What about that piece of paper?"

"I just see a pattern on it."

"Pattern? Do you remember that pattern? Can you draw it for me?"

Lu Chen's sudden excitement startled Ye Ji, he waved his hand

"I just glanced at it, but I didn't see it very clearly. It was probably a circle."

It's the pattern on those men in the iron mask!Lu Chen didn't expect that he would make such a big progress, that is to say, he might have made a general investigation about his father's death before he lost his memory.Amnesia, indicating that this clue is still related to that 'cousin'.

"And that brother Shen, do you know who he is?"

Ye Ji was obviously reluctant, but couldn't hold back the enthusiasm in Lu Chen's eyes, so he had to say

"I really can't remember. I only met him twice before. He seemed easy to get along with and treated you very well, but the third prince said he was a crow."

"crow?"

Ye Ji glanced at him before opening his mouth and saying

"Achen, let me tell you one thing, don't be scared."

"what's up."

"The reason why you fainted is because you dismantled the crow."

"!"

"Shh!" Ye Ji desperately covered his mouth, leaving only Lu Chen's copper bell-sized eyes looking at him in disbelief, "The third prince strictly ordered us not to talk about this matter with you, saying that you suffered physical injuries after dismantling the crow. Huan, I don’t remember a lot of things before. But I witnessed the dismantling of crows with my own eyes. At that time, we were all outside the library of Tzu Chi Hall. There were only you and your cousin in the room. Master Ying was afraid that he would hurt you. , I wanted to take the first step to tear him down, but suddenly a golden light shot out, and a white light flashed in front of my eyes, and when I could see again, you were the only one."

"How is it possible? Me, I dismantled the crow, but I'm still alive! That crow is still mine, cousin?"

"You just introduced it like this. I know it's fake, but you have a good relationship with him. In fact, when Mr. Sakura wanted to dismantle the crow, I thought it was unnecessary. Your cousin is very kind to you, and he definitely doesn't look like he will hurt you. .It's just that I don't know why you..."

Yes, why?Where did I know a crow from?Why is it closely related to this crow?And in the end, he chose to demolish the crow, which hurt both sides?

According to my own analysis, all the forgotten things are related to this person, no, this crow.Then from before I left Yangyue City to the last Anqing Mansion, I have been, always, always staying with this crow!Lu Chen's surprise was natural, although he didn't mean that he hated crows very much, but as a professional crow-removal man, Jinwu of the capital, he couldn't figure out how he could get along with a crow for so long.And in Ye Ji's description, he has a very good relationship with this crow!

What, what's going on here?

And in the end, he and I fled to the North Country, to what kind of Tzu Chi Church, and then turned against each other?Chosen to dismantle crows?The plot took a turn for the worse, and Lu Chen couldn't react at all.

Brother Shen, Tzu Chi Hall, Three-Legged Crow, the Crowman who was forced to dismantle the crow, Hua Hua!What have you experienced in the past two months?What did I forget!

Because he didn't want to keep delaying Zhongtian's business, he began to spend his daily spare time in the reference room of Anqing Mansion, looking through the "local chronicles" he had read before.

In just a few lines, Lu Chen read it over and over countless times, and was able to memorize it word by word, but he didn't understand what was said in it.

Three-legged crow, divine bird, Baiya Village.Is it possible that the crow he dismantled was a three-legged crow?This idea is a little bold, but the more Lu Chen thinks about it, the more reliable it becomes. No matter whether the three-legged crow is the sun or the moon, if it really exists, it must be a very special crow. Doesn't his escape from the dead indirectly prove that it is extraordinary?

He asked Ye Ji in detail about the night crow attack that happened when he was still in the capital. Those crows came from the north, and it was said that the three-legged crow inhabited Baiyazhai. Would he find anything in Baiyazhai? Woolen cloth?Lu Chen is indeed very scared. I haven't experienced this kind of fear for many years. Every time he performs a mission or faces a danger, he is the one who makes a decisive decision. Feeling that the emotion of 'fear' is harmful but not beneficial, he has been controlling his emotions and not allowing it to affect his judgment.

But this time was different, his fear came from his own judgment.Somehow, he was certain that he had killed an innocent life.He didn't even dare to imagine what happened at the last moment of dismantling the crow, what kind of pain the crow went through, and what kind of resentful eyes the crow looked at him.He obviously didn't remember, but his hands still trembled uncontrollably.I used to think that preventing them from dismantling the crows was just to maintain balance, but now that I think about it, this is simply a regulation made to protect the people who dismantle the crows. If you dismantle the crows, you will either go crazy or die. torment.

To go to Baiyazhai, he should go to Ying Yuanzhi first, but since Ye Ji told him everything, he has not seen Ying Yuanzhi.One is that Ying Yuanzhi is very busy, and he often doesn't even have time to take a sip of water, and the other is that he is indeed avoiding him on purpose, as long as he masters his time rules, he can just lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep every time.Rather than saying that he was unwilling, it was more that he didn't know how to face him.

The most ruthless killer in the world will also have a gentle side, all he sees is Ying Yuanzhi's goodness, even if he knows that he has dark places, even if he knows that he is ruthless, there is no way to hate him and fear him like others.He felt that Ying Yuanzhi was stained with blood by unscrupulous means, but who in this world is not like this, fighting for life and death, Ying Yuanzhi was born in the center of the power vortex, so he was doomed not to be an indecisive person, what he earned was the throne , It is the glory and wealth of the mother clan, and it is a glimmer of life.Lu Chen couldn't find a position to blame him. Shouldn't he exchange the [-] lives of Anqing Mansion for a sixth prince?It really shouldn't be, but if you don't do this, the ten families of the Meng family may die.

Imperial power has always been the bloodiest and most ruthless thing. Throughout the ages, which person in power has not relied on the lives of others to hold power. In this place where you die or I live, how can Lu Chen ask Ying Yuanzhi?

He wanted to see what was in Baiya Village, and also wanted to take this opportunity to avoid Ying Yuanzhi for a while, he had no way to pretend to be calm in front of him, and he didn't want to show his feet to embarrass Ye Ji.So he left a note and prepared to leave Anqing Mansion without a sound.

But before that, things were moving in an even more incredible direction.

From the night when he decided to go to Baiyazhai, Lu Chen realized that he no longer had the dream of constantly looking for someone.Although it feels very bad to keep looking but still not finding anything, but without looking for anything, he stood alone at a loss in the empty dream, and the feeling of being at a loss made him sleepless all night.

And the first time he woke up, he found a black feather beside his pillow.

It was the crow's feathers. For some reason, Lu Chen had such thoughts the first time he saw it. He didn't even dare to touch the weird feathers lying quietly.He looked at it silently, and he didn't come back to his senses until he heard the movement outside the door, and immediately reached out and hid it in his sleeve.

"Master, General Zhongtian came to ask, are you going out today?"

"stay home."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Where did this feather come from?Someone entered his room while he was asleep?Impossible, don't say that I didn't sleep well last night, even if I really slept soundly, if someone approaches, I can't be unaware.So, is the crow out for revenge?

Lu Chen shuddered. After dismantling the crow, he was unscathed. Does it mean that he did not succeed in dismantling the crow, and Ye Ji and the others did not find the crow's body after that, maybe it escaped in some way.Deep down in Lu Chen's heart, he didn't think there was any problem with his reason for removing the crow, except that it was damned, Lu Chen would not risk his life to make this decision.But at the same time, he was a little panicked, like someone who has done something wrong trying to comfort himself that he is fine, but he is very aware that he has done something wrong.

He passed the day in a trance, and on the second night, he kept an eye out and deliberately kept himself awake.What's weird is that he was still tossing and turning the night before, and he was sleepy this night. He wasn't sleepy at first, but within a few moments of closing his eyes, tiredness hit him one after another. After he pinched himself a few times , fell into a half-dream and half-awake state, struggling and hopelessly fell asleep like this.

This night was not without dreams. Lu Chen dreamed that he jumped into a huge pond. The bottom of the pond was clear and visible, and there was a circle of small holes like a honeycomb around it.He ran aimlessly inside, and ran like this for a whole night, and when he woke up, he felt very tired, and his heart beat as fast as if he had really run all night.He listened to his own thundering heartbeat, and saw the second feather placed by his bedside.

it again.Lu Chen was inexplicably afraid of this seemingly harmless thing that appeared too strangely.There seemed to be a curse attached to it, cursing him that he would never be resurrected, and he would be better off dead than alive.Lu Chen still kept the feather away and didn't mention it to anyone.

Just the day before he left Anqing Mansion, he received his seventh feather.For the past seven days, he had different experiences every night. Sometimes he was alone in the boundless wilderness, sometimes he was exhausted from fighting and running in his dreams, and sometimes he couldn’t walk even when the snow was falling in his dreams. He woke up every morning. There will always be a new feather placed next to the pillow.

Just in the morning of the eighth day, before he opened his eyes, he had already noticed that there were no feathers around him, and he had no dreams last night, which was the most peaceful day of sleep in the past few days. The sunshine, the curse, no, the crow finally let him go.But when the next person brought a water basin for him to wash, he was frightened by the reflection in the water and backed away again and again, and the waiter didn't pay attention to the copper basin in his hand, and the water splashed all over the ground.

"Damn the little one, forgive me, young master!"

"You, you," Lu Chen pointed at him in horror, "what did you see?"

The man looked at him blankly.

What's going on, what's going on, how can there be a pair of huge, black, crow wings behind me in the reflection!
