After awakening the evil god, it was marked

Benjamin did not show up at the breakfast table at the appointed time, nor did he reply to the assistant's message.The assistant went to his bedroom and knocked on the door, but got no response. He asked Qi Li'an and others, and learned that no one knew his whereabouts. Thinking of the attack on Edward the day before, he had no choice but to ask Snowf for help.

Snowf used the spare key to open the door, and what everyone saw was an empty room.

The bed was still as clean as it was after daily cleaning, as if no one had ever stayed in it.

Yan Zhijin leaned against the pillow at the head of the bed, while drinking porridge in Yan Hui's hand, while listening to him talk about what he saw in the morning in a leisurely manner.

Benjamin's luggage was still in the house, but his documents, mobile phone, etc. were taken away.Snoff called up the surveillance cameras in the hotel corridor, which proved that he walked out of the room alone after everyone went back to the room to rest.

The staff at the front desk also testified that they had seen him walk out of the hotel.Because the night in the desert is not safe, the staff at the front desk once asked him where he was going, but he gave an ambiguous answer, saying that he just wanted to stroll around.

Once I went there, I never came back.

It was windy again the night before, and there were no pedestrians outside at all.It can be said that no one knows where Benjamin went.

Yan Zhijin asked, "Apart from him, has anyone else ever gone out?"

"The surveillance at the gate didn't capture anyone else," Yan Hui said.

"What about the other doors?"

Yan Hui couldn't help laughing: "The other doors are not monitored, so it's hard to tell if there is anyone there. Do you think he is going to meet someone? And that person lives here too?"

"He knows that there are often storms here at night. It is impossible to go out for a stroll at that time. He can only meet some people. It is possible that the people he meets do not live here, but it is not safe to go out at night, even if he goes out If you go, you may not be able to come back, unless he lives in that person's house at night. According to common sense, people who date at night will have dinner together. I don't believe that someone even provides accommodation, but not dinner. " Yan Zhijin said, "Of course, this is just a guess."

"Perhaps, that person went back very late, and we only had a chance to meet late at night," Yan Hui said meaningfully, "At the same time, they want to see something together."

He didn't seem at all worried about where Benjamin was going.

"Is he still alive?" Yan Zhijin asked.

"Probably." Yan Zhen propped his chin and said, "I can't quite perceive his position. You know, there is another force here that is interfering with me."

Because of the existence of that slate, Benjamin's aura was covered up.Originally, he had hoped to use the power of words to quickly find Benjamin's location, but now this method has also been rejected.

"They have already called the police. The police will use the most professional equipment to search for him. He is a famous biologist in country A. The police will definitely attach great importance to this disappearance. You don't have to worry."

In fact, he wasn't particularly worried about Benjamin.

It was just that Edward was attacked the day before, the origin and owner of the poisonous lizard had not been found, and Benjamin disappeared suddenly. It is hard not to doubt that these facts are actually related.

Yan Zhijin raised his chin, revealing the graceful and slender neck line, and asked, "That lizard, is it alright?"

"It's very good," Yan Hui said lazily, "With me here, no one can steal it."

"Where are the flowers you gave me two days ago?" Yan Zhijin asked suddenly.

Yan Hui took out an exquisite glass box from his luggage, and opened the lid, revealing the fresh and beautiful flowers that were still in full bloom.

"You can make it bloom from the seed in an instant," Yan Zhijin stroked the fresh and tender petals, "you can also bring a dead mouse back to life."

He said: "I just had an idea...an idea of ​​cheating. Why, don't we ask the lizards themselves?"

***

The disappearance of Benjamin made the already panicked crowd even more uneasy.

This time without Edward's accusation, the surrounding residents have already started discussing it.

"This must be a trick of the Duke of Douglas."

"He was bewitched by the muddy power before he walked into the wind and sand. What a poor young man."

"It must be because he was trying to unmask Douglas, what a great scholar."

"Douglas will spell disaster for us."

"Duke Douglas and his followers are unforgivable!"

Matt and the others had a violent temper, and they didn't like to quarrel. They fought directly, and more grievances were involved between the two sides. Everyone's new and old grudges were counted together, and it directly turned into a chaotic battle.

Now the tavern has closed its doors and suspended operations, and even the hotel must close the doors and windows tightly to avoid spreading.

"How did it develop like this?" Shen Zhiyu scratched her hair and wailed on Yan Zhijin's bed, "Didn't we come out to make documentaries? Why did wildlife documentaries turn into religious films and suspense films?"

Yan Zhijin looked out the window and suddenly said, "Do you want to go?"

Shen Zhiyu raised his head in bewilderment: "Huh?"

"Leave this place and go to the far north, or go directly back to the country and hide for a while."

"Your body looks like this, how do we go?" Shen Zhiyu shook his head repeatedly.

Yan Zhijin said, "Don't worry about me, you guys go."

Shen Zhiyu jumped up: "How can this work, how can we leave you behind."

"My health is fine, and Yan Hui can take care of me." Yan Zhijin said.

"Then why don't you come with us?"

"I want to find out the truth of the matter," Yan Zhijin said confidently, "such as why Benjamin disappeared, where he went, and what is the past between Duke Douglas and the order of the world."

Shen Zhiyu's breath was stuck in his chest, and he coughed anxiously.

Yan Zhijin patted his arm symbolically, telling him not to get too excited.

After Shen Zhiyu finished coughing, she sat back on the chair, crunched the fragile wooden chair, raised her eyebrows and said, "We are worried about your health, you don't care at all."

Yan Zhijin was silent.

From his dodging eyes, it can be seen that he is a little embarrassed

"Actually, I'm also quite curious." Shen Zhiyu leaned against the back of the chair, stretched her long legs, put her hands in her pockets, and said casually, "If you ask me if I want to leave, I definitely don't want to. Even if we see supernatural phenomena, I also don't think this case is related to ghosts and gods. This incident is so interesting, I didn't expect that one day I would be the protagonist of a suspense drama."

"Yeah." Yan Zhijin nodded.

Shen Zhiyu lay on his bedside, fiddling with the pills next to the bed: "Is there something wrong with this antipyretic medicine? No matter how much you take it, it doesn't work at all."

"Probably not." Yan Zhijin took the medicine from his hand.

The antipyretics I took at first were bought locally, but because they didn't work, Yan Hui went back to China and bought them again to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the medicines.

I have also been to the hospital, but I can't see any problem, only that he has a common cold.But how could the common cold not get better for so long, what's more, Yan Zhijin usually has a good physique and rarely gets sick.

He is afraid to eat local food and water now, lest there is something wrong with the food.

Fortunately, Yan Hui can teleport, so he can buy whatever he wants to eat in time.

But the fever just won't go away.

Yan Zhijin even suspected that the source of this disease did not belong to their planet, but some kind of mysterious and intelligent creature.

Like that slate.

He didn't forget that it was after he inexplicably appeared under the stone slab that night that he started to have a fever.

"We can't leave even if we want to." Shen Zhiyu sighed, "Benjamin is missing, we are all related suspects, we can't leave in the near future."

"Is there still no clue?" Yan Zhijin asked.

"Not at all. He just walked into the desert at night and disappeared in the wind and sand all over the sky." Shen Zhiyu held his heart in his hands, imitating the narration of a movie and chanting, "No one knows his purpose, no one knows his whereabouts, just as No one knows what kind of disaster will befall them."

Yan Zhijin smiled slightly, and his complexion improved a little, as if he was very interested in his performance.

Encouraged, Shen Zhiyu became more energetic, took out a box of chocolate bars, took one in his mouth, imitated the protagonist in the mystery movie, and said deeply: "Eliminate all impossibilities, and the remaining speculation, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth. "

Yan Zhijin nodded and asked, "What are the possibilities?"

"The first one is that he really just wandered around late at night, accidentally encountered a storm, and was buried under the sand. This may take time to verify, because the police have already started a blanket search. When he went out, he drove a car and could According to the farthest distance that the car can reach when the storm comes, delineate the area where he died, and then dig the sand. To be honest, I think the possibility of this situation is very low. Because he is not such a stupid person. We went to He just encountered a strong wind a few days ago, so it is impossible for him not to know how terrible the strong wind is in the desert. Unless—he is going to commit suicide."

Shen Zhiyu smiled: "I don't think he will commit suicide."

He finished a chocolate bar with a bang, changed it, and continued to pretend to be deep: "The second type is that he has an appointment with someone, and that person kills him, disposes of the body, and throws the body into the wild. However, he How to dispose of Benjamin's car is a problem. First of all, the car must not be thrown nearby, because it is likely to be seen by passers-by. If the car and people are buried together, it will be too conspicuous. If it is to be separated... That is, he wants to drive the car to a place, leave the car there, and then drive his own car back!"

"Do you think he's dead?" Yan Zhijin asked.

Shen Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and changed his words: "That means he has been imprisoned? In this case, I can only understand that the other party wants to use him to threaten someone, or use him to achieve his own goals."

He said cautiously: "Have you ever felt that if this is the case, someone's suspicion level will skyrocket?"

Yan Zhijin thought for a while and asked, "You mean Qi Li'an?"

Shen Zhiyu slapped his thigh: "That's him! He and Benjamin are in the same industry and have a competitive relationship. Maybe he was jealous that Benjamin was more talented than him, so he disposed of Benjamin. Or, he wanted to extract some scientific research secrets from Benjamin. Tell him, and he has Benjamin imprisoned."

"We are also traveling together." Yan Zhijin reminded him.

"You are sick!" Shen Zhiyu picked up the thermometer and pointed to the "39.4" on it, "I measured this for you, it is impossible to fake it."

"I have assistants."

Shen Zhiyu used the chocolate bar as a whistle, and blew a sound: "Come on, besides serving you food and water, he has been out of your room? Besides, why did you kill Benjamin? He is not as talented as you."

"Qi Li'an is a tourist just like us," Yan Zhijin said calmly, "Where does he hide him?"

"Uh... Maybe it's not the first time he's been here. He's been here before, and he even left property behind." When Shen Zhiyu spoke, the air was filled with the smell of chocolate, "He killed people directly, with passion! "

Yan Zhijin saw that he was eating deliciously, so he couldn't help but also took a chocolate bar. With the chocolate bar in his mouth, he melted the chocolate coating on the surface of the biscuit with the temperature in his mouth: "There is also an alibi. Surveillance proof, except for Benjamin , none of us ever walked out of the room."

"He climbed out of the window!"

Yan Zhijin said: "You mean, he carried rock climbing tools with him? But this kind of behavior is actually very risky, because he can't guarantee that there is no one in the room directly below him. And, how did he come back?"

Shen Zhiyu covered her head: "Let me finish talking!"

Yan Zhijin nodded.

"Then the third one is the one that the residents here guess the most." Shen Zhiyu suppressed her smile, "Actually, I don't really want to believe this conjecture. Maybe he was really called by some kind of call, or maybe he discovered something. secret.

"Let me give you an example. Maybe he saw that kind of lizard with wings. Because that kind of animal ran very fast, he didn't have time to inform others, so he rushed out by himself. He is a biologist. Listen to him before According to the narrative, he should love his career very much, so he ran out after chasing the lizard, and was led by the lizard to a dangerous quicksand area, and then he was buried there.

"Or, like Matt and the others back then, he saw the Duke of Douglas. He was bewitched. The other party said, I will give you unrivaled power, and you will become my believer and dedicate your loyalty to me. His mind was affected, and he agreed uncontrollably. His rationality told him not to agree, but these supernatural creatures generally have the ability to interfere with people's consciousness, and he has no ability to resist."

Yan Zhijin's smile also gradually disappeared.He bit off the chocolate bar and ground the biscuit with his teeth until the crumbs were mixed with his saliva and he couldn't tell each other apart before swallowing.

"Of course it's all guesswork, there's still more left!" Shen Zhiyu smiled brightly, and began to narrate again.

Shen Zhiyu talked endlessly, and finally asked Yan Zhijin expectantly: "What do you think is the truth?"

"What do you think?" Yan Zhijin asked back.

"I'm asking you." Shen Zhiyu raised his right index finger and shook it left and right.

Yan Zhijin pondered for a moment, then said, "It's all possible."

"..." Shen Zhiyu almost lost his breath.

He said unwillingly, "I don't believe it. You must have the answer, but you just don't want to tell me."

"You know, why do you still ask?" Yan Zhijin asked.

Shen Zhiyu's heart was broken to pieces.He wanted to cry and said, "Brother, you don't even want to perfunctory me."

"Even if I play you off, you won't believe it." Yan Zhijin said, "I don't want to lie to you."

"Then I guess you must have a reason why you can't say it." Shen Zhiyu chewed on the chocolate bar, venting her resentment, "Okay, then I'll wait. Fortunately, I am patient, otherwise I will be mad at you."

"No," Yan Zhijin's words were full of trust, "We are brothers."

When he said that, Shen Zhiyu lost his temper.

After a while, Yan Hui came in with lunch.

While Shen Zhiyu was eating, he casually asked, "Is there any progress?"

"They found Benjamin's car," Yan Hui fed Yan Zhijin lunch without haste, and said slowly, "It's near the temple."
