A single divination predicts life and death; the entire internet begs me to start a live stream.

Luo Shouzhou tossed the tablet back into Wang Tianhao's hands.

His tone remained unchanged; the evidence so far was insufficient to change his mind.

Luo Tiancheng stared at him.

"It's come to this."

"You're still guarding Hengtai's territory?"

"I protect lives for others."

Luo Shouzhou pointed to Liu Jianguo's ankle.

"The line is still there."

"Can you solve this?"

Luo Tiancheng remained silent.

"If you can't solve it, then stop staring."

Luo Shouzhou lazily added:

Chen Bufan pressed down on his hand.

That's enough.

Luo Tiancheng frowned.

"If we can't take it with us today, it might be nowhere to be found next time. Are we just going to let him keep hiding it like this?"

Chen Bufan looked at Liu Jianguo.

"Keep pushing them."

"The first to die were not the people of Hengtai."

"It's him."

Luo Tiancheng's finger stopped.

Chen Bufan closed the "Record of Destiny".

"Hengtai is probably hoping we'll get anxious."

"The more anxious we are."

"The easier it is for them to kill."

Luo Tiancheng remained silent for a moment, then quietly picked up the nails from the ground.

Luo Shouzhuo glanced at him.

"Finally, someone has put your brain back in place."

Lin Wanqing stepped forward.

"Liu Jianguo can stay for now."

"But the police have to check on his safety every day."

"That's fine."

"Without the knowledge of the police."

"We cannot transfer people out of Qingzhou."

"no."

"reason?"

"Someone actually found this place."

Luo Shouzhuo said.

"Do I have to wait for your signature before we can change locations?"

"The police need to conduct a closed-door questioning of Liu Jianguo."

"That won't work either."

"Mr. Luo, he is a key witness in the case."

Luo Shouzhuo glanced at her.

"I know."

"So you absolutely cannot ask."

"Ask one question, and the thread will be reduced by one inch."

"Are you going to investigate the case, or are you going to collect his body?"

Lin Wanqing stared at him.

Neither of them backed down.

At last.

She only said one sentence:

"I will record everything that happened tonight as it happened."

Luo Shouzhuo nodded.

"Write it nicely."

"This is the first time in my life I've been a witness."

Luo Shouzhou stopped talking nonsense.

The old compass fell to the ground.

Two-finger dial.

Rumble.

The cement wall behind Liu Jianguo began to slowly shift.

A slope that was not originally there extended out of the darkness.

The light shone in.

You can only see a dozen meters ahead at most.

Further on.

It's like sinking directly into the ground.

Luo Tiancheng kept staring at his father's hand.

"Is there a hidden method?"

Luo Shouzhuo didn't even look up.

"To prevent outsiders from entering."

"Who here is an outsider?"

"you."

Liu Jianguo had already been helped up by Luo Shouzhou.

He walked slowly, and suddenly turned back before entering the slope.

His gaze passed over Lin Wanqing.

It landed on Chen Bufan.

His lips moved slightly.

No sound.

Chen Bufan's eyes flickered slightly.

Ground.

end.

under.

Three words.

next second.

Luo Shouzhou turned the compass in his hand.

boom!

The cement wall was closed.

Liu Jianguo has completely disappeared.

Chen Bufan remained silent.

Until everyone exited the underground passage.

Lin Wanqing then asked in a low voice:

"What did he say?"

"Underground."

Luo Tiancheng paused.

"Underground? What underground?"

"have no idea."

Chen Bufan glanced behind him.

"But he's starting to want to tell us something."

Outside the old factory gate.

Everyone prepared to get on the bus.

"Luo Tiancheng".

A voice came from behind.

Luo Tiancheng stopped.

He didn't turn around.

"What?"

Luo Shouzhou stood in the shadows of the factory gate.

The cigarette butt glowed and dimmed.

"Return to Guangdong Province."

Luo Tiancheng smiled.

"Scared?"

"Um."

Luo Shouzhou admitted it very quickly.

"I'm afraid you'll die a horrible death."

Luo Tiancheng turned around.

"Are you really afraid I'll die?"

Luo Shouzhou took a drag of his cigarette.

"I'm mainly afraid you'll die."

"No one acknowledges the Luo family's gambling debts."

The slight change that had just appeared on Luo Tiancheng's face vanished instantly.

"roll."

Luo Shouzhou did not answer.

Just look at him.

"Hengtai is a deeper pool than you think."

"Listen to me, go back."

Luo Tiancheng stared at him for a few seconds.

"What do you know?"

"have no idea."

"Then why are you pretending to be so profound?"

"Based on experience."

"That's called being a coward."

"Live a long time."

Luo Shouzhuo said calmly.

"They're usually a bit timid."

Luo Tiancheng suddenly stopped laughing.

"You're still the same."

Luo Shouzhou paused for a moment, his hand holding the cigarette still.

"What?"

"I know it's dangerous."

"Just hide them."

"She says nothing and bears everything on her own."

"I thought that if I didn't let others know, the incident wouldn't happen."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Luo Shouzhou did not turn around.

Luo Tiancheng stared at his back.

"You've always been like this."

"It's still like this now."

Luo Shouzhou remained silent for a few seconds.

Cigarette ash fell to the ground.

You'd better not make the same mistake again.

Luo Tiancheng sneered.

"This sentence."

"I'll return it to you exactly as it is."

The car door closed.

Several vehicles drove away from the old factory.

Luo Shouzhou stood still.

It hasn't moved at all.

Until the headlights disappeared.

He then glanced down at the old compass.

Pinning needle.

It was still trembling slightly.

12:47 AM.

Hengtai's official account has been updated again.

A video less than a minute long topped the trending list.

In the picture.

Liu Jianguo sat in a chair.

He looked exhausted.

No one kidnapped me.

"It's my own choice not to see outsiders."

That's the end of the video.

Stopped abruptly.

The comment section exploded quickly.

[I myself have spoken out.]

Did Master Chen make a mistake this time?

How do you explain that faked death?

[The fact that Hengtai dared to release a video of himself at least means he's alright.]

Wang Tianhao dragged the video back to the last two seconds.

It was played again.

Stop.

"It's cut."

Lin Wanqing saw it too.

Before the video ends.

Liu Jianguo's mouth was still clearly moving.

Chen Bufan looked at it for a few seconds.

Read the mouth shape.

"Because they said..."

"go out."

"I will die."

No one spoke in the car.

Wang Tianhao's face darkened.

"You're really good at cutting."

It was 2:13 a.m.

The underground parking garage of Hengtai headquarters.

A white bus slowly drove in.

Side view of the vehicle.

Sakuragawa Dance Company

The railings are raised.

No registration.

No security guards asked any questions.

The car door opened.

Thirteen people got off the bus one by one.

No one spoke.

Black paper umbrella.

Long, narrow instrument case.

Folding fan.

Mirrored stage panel.

Clothing boxes, each longer than a person.

The garage has just been cleaned.

The ground was covered in water.

Ayako Kamishiro walked across the water.

Snapped.

The heel came down.

The person has already taken the second step.

The reflection in the water.

But they're still stuck at the first step.

Half a breath later.

Only then did I catch up.

The second person.

the same alsp.

The third.

the fourth.

Thirteen people walked by.

Only twelve shadows remained in the water.

In front of the elevator.

Ayako Kamishiro went in alone.

The door slowly closed.

On the floor panel.

1.

2.

3.

Up to 17.

There is no 18.

She raised a black folding fan.

I tapped lightly on the elevator mirror.

Hey.

She didn't move in the mirror.

But an extra hand appeared in the mirror.

It extends from behind her shoulder.

Press a number that doesn't exist in reality.

【18】

Ding.

At the very top of the panel.

A red light appeared.

The elevator began to ascend.

Eleventh floor.

Thirteen floors.

Fifteen floors.

The seventeenth floor.

Then.

The numbers have gone black.

The entire elevator fell into complete silence.

A few seconds later.

Ding.

The door opened.

There are no signs indicating the 18th floor on the outside.

There was only one dimly lit corridor.

The model room where Shi Zhiyuan is located.

It's right at the deepest part.

on the ground.

The ash-covered hillside left by Luo Shouzhou remains intact.

The woman walked outside the formation.

I glanced at it.

I didn't step on it.

"Feng Shui masters of China."

She chuckled softly.

"trouble."

She pulled a very thin black thread from her sleeve.

Place it on the ground.

After the black line falls.

There was no shadow.

It was pressed against the corner of the wall.

He squeezed through the very edge of the ash cloud.

A little bit.

Climb to the deepest part.

Finally, they got involved with Shi Zhiyuan's door.

Click.

The door lock was not open.

A shadow peeking through the crack in the door.

But it cracked open on its own.

inside the room.

Shi Zhiyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The protective charm by the bed rises without wind.

Snapped!

Stick it on the wall.

The black line stopped instantly.

Ayako Kamishiro stood at the end of the corridor, her dimples deep.

She did not continue.

It's just a matter of retracting the black line.

He turned and left.

……

The 23rd floor.

Boardroom.

Zhou Heng sat alone at the end of the long table.

Even the lights were only half turned on.

The door opened.

Ayako Kamishiro walked in.

She was wearing a dark-colored kimono-style performance costume.

She bowed slightly at the door.

"Mr. Zhou".

"Good evening."

Ayako Kamishiro gently placed a black wooden box on the long table.

Snapped.

The box lid is opened.

Brake oil line.

GG brand fixing bolts.

A burnt-out gas valve.

The last space.

It was a section of pale paper tube.

Like a human throat.

Ayako Kamishiro pinched the paper throat with two fingers.

Just a gentle press.

"Nation-building".

"Open the door."

"I'm back."

The old woman's voice came from the paper tube.

Zhou Heng's gaze darkened.

"Did Luo Shou-chou examine everything?"

"Yes."

Ayako Kamishiro smiled.

"Mr. Luo's inspection was very thorough."

"No suspicion?"

"Why doubt it?"

She picked up the brake hose.

"This one has really been cut off."

He picked up the bolt again.

"This was indeed loosened ahead of schedule."

Move your fingertip toward the gas valve.

"Gas".

"It really did leak."

At last.

She gently touched the paper throat.

"As for this voice."

"Liu Jun did hear it."

Ayako Kamishiro raised her eyes.

Her smile remained unchanged.

"so."

"Everything that Luo Jun found out."

"It's all true."

Zhou Heng leaned back in his chair.

"But Liu Jianguo didn't die."

"certainly."

Ayako Kamishiro seemed to have heard a very strange question.

"If we kill him now..."

"Isn't that a waste?"

"Mr. Zhou".

"All we need is to convince Liu Jun."

"There are people outside who really want to kill him."

"As for killing him."

"That's another matter."

Ayako Kamishiro slowly closed the wooden box.

"The fear was real, the attack was real."

"It's true that Luo Jun saved him."

"In that case, what is there to doubt?"

Zhou Heng remained silent.

Ayako Kamishiro continued:

"People like Luo Jun."

"Fake things can't fool him."

She smiled slightly and raised her hand.

He made a gentle closing motion, and the conference room door shut silently.

"Liu Jun will hide it for us himself."

Zhou Heng stared at her.

"That old bastard is really troublesome."

"Precisely because it's difficult to deal with."

Ayako Kamishiro lowered her head slightly.

"Isn't that more suitable for its use?"

Zhou Heng looked up.

"Where is Shi Zhiyuan?"

"Still on the eighteenth floor."

"The formation left behind by Lord Luo."

"I've already seen it."

"Can it be broken?"

"Can."

Ayako Kamishiro smiled.

"But there's no need for that."

"Before opening."

"It's more convenient if Mr. Shi is alive."

Zhou Heng's fingers, which were tapping on the table, suddenly stopped.

"Liu Jianguo too?"

"certainly."

Ayako Kamishiro pulled a black folding fan from her sleeve.

Snapped.

The fan unfolds.

Three extremely thin red threads hang down from the fan ribs.

Every line.

Each one had a white sign hanging on it.

[Shi Zhiyuan]

Liu Jianguo

Zhou Heng

Zhou Heng stared at the third card.

"Why am I included?"

Ayako Kamishiro did not answer.

She held up one finger.

Gently pluck the first sheet.

"The person in charge of the accounts."

[Shi Zhiyuan]

the second one.

"Those who see the past."

Liu Jianguo

The two playing cards swayed gently.

"Before the opening of the South District."

"These two."

"Please, stay alive."

Zhou Heng stared at her.

"What happens after the business opens?"

Ayako Kamishiro slowly raised her folding fan.

Snapped!

The fan was fully unfolded.

The conference room lights shone behind them.

She herself had nothing in her hands.

The shadow on the wall.

But now he has a long, thin knife in his hand.

The shadow blade slowly rose.

The first knife.

Passing by [Shi Zhiyuan].

Second knife.

Passing by [Liu Jianguo].

Swish.

Swish.

Both cards are flipped over simultaneously.

The back was completely blood red.

Ayako Kamishiro smiled.

Her voice remained gentle.

"After opening."

"That's not necessary."

Zhou Heng was taken aback.

His gaze gradually shifted to the third red line.

Zhou Heng

"And what about me?"

Ayako Kamishiro folded her folding fan.

Snapped.

Turn around.

Zhou Heng suddenly stood up.

"Miss Kamishiro."

She stopped.

There was no turning back.

"I'm asking you."

"Why are my cards in there too?"

Ayako Kamishiro gently turned her face to the side.

"Because of that."

"The commission that Mr. Luo received."

"It's about protecting three people."

"If there were only two people at the beginning."

He would find it strange.

Zhou Heng's pupils constricted slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Ayako Kamishiro finally turned around.

He bowed slightly to him.

Still polite and gentle.

"Mr. Zhou".

"On the opening day of the South District Complex."

Please.

"You must attend in person."

Zhou Heng stared intently at her.

"What if I don't go?"

Ayako Kamishiro looked at him quietly for two seconds.

Then he laughed.

"I will go."

"Zhou Jun will definitely go."

"Because by then..."

"Whether or not to go."

"I'm afraid it's no longer up to Zhou Jun to decide."

Click.

The conference room door slowly closed.

Zhou Heng stood behind the long table.

Not moving at all.

On the desktop.

The three cards were still swaying slightly.

Shi Zhiyuan.

Liu Jianguo.

Zhou Heng.

suddenly.

The third card stands upright on its own.

front.

Zhou Heng

Snapped.

Flip the cards.

There are only two large scarlet characters on the back.

【Corporation】

On the glass wall.

Zhou Heng's reflection was still standing in the same spot.

It can be reflected on the neck.

A thin red line has been added around it.
