Urban Pirates

Chapter 442 Losing the Concept of Time

After Chu Tianluo found himself in this state, he lost the concept of time. He couldn't estimate how long it had passed. As he continued to work hard to break out of the illusion, the idea of ​​breaking out of the hallucination gradually became stronger. The scene seemed to be starting to blur a bit, which cheered him up.

Gradually, the originally incomparably real scene became translucent, and then another overlapping scene appeared before Chu Tianluo's eyes, and the other scene was exactly the corridor passage.

Excited, Chu Tianluo hurriedly opened his eyelids, only to find that the gradually clear corridor scene disappeared in an instant, and he appeared directly in the lobby of the Chen family villa, and Chen Wensen was standing in front of him.

"Father..." Chu Tianluo couldn't help shouting.

"Son..." Chen Wensen smiled.

Chu Tianluo's eyes suddenly became moist. Although he knew that this was all an illusion, he didn't want to come out of it, because at least he could see his father in this way.

"Son...stay with me, Dad misses you very much." Chen Wensen looked at Chu Tianluo with loving eyes.

Chu Tianluo had a sore nose and almost nodded in agreement.

"Stay here..." Chen Wensen's voice rang in his ears.

"It's fake...it's all fake..." Chu Tianluo endured the grief in his heart, and bit his lips hard, there was still a sliver of rational thinking struggling in his mind.

At the critical moment, Chu Tianluo completely suppressed all his emotions with his amazing self-control ability, and then quickly activated his induction power. At this moment, Chen Wensen's face also became illusory and blurred until it disappeared completely.

All the phantoms in front of Chu Tianluo are gone, and the cold and dark corridor is still in front of him, and the man who was kicked in by him before has fallen to the ground. Chu Tianluo quickly walked over to check, and found that he was just fainted passed.

"That guy can't die, come in." An old voice suddenly came out.

Chu Tianluo raised his head suddenly, because the voice came from the room at the end of the corridor, and now, the originally dark room was also lit with lights.

"Are you spying on Tiantong Ji Chao?" Chu Tianluo asked tentatively.

The voice from inside came out again: "What do you say?"

Chu Tianluo frowned, thinking that this guy would be tricky, but since he was already here, he must go in, so he stood up and walked carefully towards that room.

The people in Qingying Villa waited for 10 minutes, and when Yu Xiuxiu and Shangguan Yunmei were about to set off, they saw Chu Tianluo move, so they returned to the computer screen.

"The lights inside are on." Murong Heng pointed to the farthest position that the surveillance camera could see.

Shangguan Yunmei's expression was solemn: "I hope Tianluo can come back smoothly, I think that place is really weird."

Chu Tianluo walked to the door of the room, and looked inside with his sensory force. The room was very ordinary, but a little messy. An old man in linen clothes sat on an old sofa, with long white hair hanging down to the bottom of his head. The whiskers on the belly are also white.

The old man had an ordinary appearance, half-closed his eyes, and drooped both ends of his eyebrows. He took a sip of water from the cup next to him, then stared at the door and said, "Why don't you come in?"

Chu Tianluo reached out and pushed the door, but found that it was not locked, so he went in directly, and said politely, "Mr. Ji, hello."

"Boy, do you have any cigarettes?" said the old man.

Chu Tianluo froze for a moment: "What?"

"I asked you if you have any cigarettes. Looking at the young man, how come his ears are more deaf than mine." The old man seemed a little impatient.

"Yes, I have." Chu Tianluo hurriedly took out a bag of soft white sand from his pocket.

"If I knew you liked to smoke, I would have brought some high-end cigarettes." Chu Tianluo gave him the cigarettes while speaking.

The old man took the cigarette in his eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "No, no, no! I just like this!"

He took out a cigarette neatly, then picked up a match from the table next to him and lit the cigarette, took a deep puff, and puffed out a puff of thick smoke from his nostrils, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"How about I send you some later?" Chu Tianluo asked tentatively.

"Good boy, you know the tricks." The old man grinned and showed his yellow teeth: "The guys here say that I am old, and they insist on not buying cigarettes. Even if they buy them, they are fakes. It really makes me unhappy!"

"Well...how long have you lived here?" Chu Tianluo was full of questions, and it was hard to start directly from the topic, so he planned to start with this topic first.

Who knew that the old man laughed strangely: "Boy, do you still have time to chat with me? If you have something to say, just say it!"

"I would like to ask you to untie something for me." Chu Tianluo took out the piece of paper full of strange words and symbols, although he still wanted to know what happened in the corridor just now, but looking at it now That's all secondary. If you have time or opportunity, it's not too late to find out after finishing the business.

While smoking a cigarette, the old man looked at Chu Tianluo: "Apart from Ziwei Tong, what else appeared?"

Chu Tianluo was stunned: "How do you know..."

"You still think you can hide it from my eyes? I can tell at a glance that you have Ziwei pupils, and you have a good destiny. Good thing...good thing!"

"Fate? What do you mean?" Chu Tianluo was confused.

"I'm just guessing, show me that thing first." The old man stretched out his hand.

Chu Tianluo also hurriedly handed the paper to him. The old man looked at it, frowning into a pimple, and then quickly stood up and said to Chu Tianluo: "Help me clean things up!"

"What are you doing?" Chu Tianluo became more and more puzzled.

Ji Xuan blew his beard and stared and said: "Move things, get rid of all the cabinets and tables on the wall here!"

Hearing what he said, Chu Tianluo hurriedly started to clear out a wall in two or three strokes. The calendar and clock hanging on it were also taken down and put aside, revealing a dark brown stone wall.

"There's a box of chalk under the table over there, bring it here!" Ji Xuan pointed to the corner of the wall.

Chu Tianluo quickly followed suit, and took out a box of chalk and handed it to him.

The old man took out a piece of chalk and began to write and draw on the wall. Chu Tianluo didn't want to disturb him, so he stood silently aside.

Chu Tianluo couldn't understand any of the things Ji Chao drew, they were basically uppercase numbers and messy grids and symbols.

Although the old man was old, he was still very agile when writing those things, and he even became more and more excited as he wrote later. After more than an hour, most of the walls were covered with things for him, and even a box of chalk was too big. He had almost used it up, and then he stopped, panting heavily and leaning on the wall tremblingly, he must be very tired from that look.

Don't talk about him, even a young man can't stand it for a while. Seeing this, Chu Tianluo immediately went to help him, but he pushed him away.

After a short rest, Ji Chao stood on his tiptoes, and from the highest position, he drew a line forcefully, connecting several points that had been set in sequence, and he didn't let go until he reached the last point. He dropped his hand and fell limply.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chu Tianluo helped him up, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

"Let me catch my breath... Get a cigarette out." Ji Dun supported Chu Tianluo with great effort, and then sat on the sofa.

Chu Tianluo had no choice but to do so, took out a cigarette from the case for him, and helped him light it.

Ji Chao took a puff of cigarette, coughed violently a few times, and then asked Chu Tianluo, "Tell me your birth date."

Chu Tianluo recalled what Chen Wensen had told him back then, so he told the exact date and time of his birthday.

The old man squinted his eyes and stared at the top of the wall, then nodded, "Sure enough, it's a good destiny... not bad... God's will... God's will..."

"Please tell me what the old man means." Chu Tianluo now understands that he must have found the right person.

"I, Ji Chao, have leaked a lot of secrets in my life. Only by pretending to be crazy and foolish later on can I barely escape the catastrophe. Even if I never wanted to hide here, I still can't avoid this kind of thing. It seems that I am destined to be unable to hide, anyway, I will live anyway. I'm over 90 years old, it's worth it!" The old man looked tired, but his eyes were shining brightly.

"Boy, let me tell you." Ji Chao looked at Chu Tianluo with a serious expression: "You must get all the other eight artifacts, and you must hand them over to the person I designate!"

"Why?" Chu Tianluo was surprised.

"Do you know the origin of the Eight Great Artifacts!?"

Chu Tianluo shook his head: "I don't know."

"Okay, I'll tell you!" The old man pointed to the surrounding chairs and tables: "You put these where I said."

"No problem!" Chu Tianluo agreed.

In fact, Chu Tianluo didn't know what he was going to do, but he just put away those tables, chairs, even a few pairs of broken shoes, and some water glasses according to what he said, but in the process, he made an amazing discovery, That is, the things the old man specified looked ordinary, but there were dense symbols painted on them, and I don't know what was used to paint them.

Then he also found that even the ground was engraved with dazzling things. Some places looked like the gossip patterns handed down from ancient China, but they were not exactly the same. Chu Tianluo subconsciously looked at the wall of the corridor outside the door. After looking at it, as expected, there was something engraved on it. At first, he thought it was the erosion marks accumulated on the wall, but now it seems that everything is not so simple.

After everything was arranged, Ji Dun stood up a little excitedly, and then signaled Chu Tianluo to follow behind him. Every time he took a step, he let Chu Tianluo step on his footprints.

One old and one young, one in front of the other, walked around the room with extremely weird footwork. If outsiders saw it, they would definitely think that these two were crazy.

But both of them are very serious. Chu Tianluo found that even though he was physically strong, he had only walked a dozen steps, but he still felt tired. He hadn't felt this way for a long time, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried. Ji Chao is tired, because even he is tired, can he, an old man in his 90s, still be able to bear it?
