Chapter 260 The Sun Never Sets

"I don't mind."

The extremely strong doctor was the first to answer.

Huang Mao shrugged, noncommittal.

The young tinkerer asked, "Have you brought your crystal ball?"

"No," the old woman said with a smile, "not all divinations require crystal balls.

"Sister, are there any tarot cards here?"

"Ah, indeed there are."

As my sister said, she turned around and took out the Tarot cards, and said with some embarrassment: "It is indeed popular among us girls... I bought this before, but I forgot to play it after I bought it."

"It's okay, not everyone needs divination. You can live a peaceful life without relying on divination. Doesn't it show that you are a good boy with confidence."

The old woman let out a hoarse laugh as old as a crow.

She said so, but she didn't make any particularly ceremonial movements. He simply shuffled the cards and placed four cards in front of him.

"Who will come first?"

asked the old woman.

Annan remained silent and decided to sit on the sidelines.

"Let me do it."

The doctor was the first to answer.

He stood up, walked behind the old woman and studied: "Which one should you open?"

"Choose one and open it."

The old woman said with a smile, "One piece is enough."

"Then this one."

As the doctor said, he was about to turn over the first card from the left.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Boom!

It was like a drunk knocking on the door outside, a very loud sound.

"A philosopher.

"

Huang Mao was the first to react: "He's late! Isn't he drinking too much?"

"I'm going to open the door."

The doctor stopped turning over the tarot cards and walked towards the door.

Boom! Boom!

The knocking on the door did not stop, but became more urgent.

"Come, come, come!"

The doctor responded loudly: "Don't worry—"

His words suddenly stuck in his throat.

Fear was evident on his face.

...the smell of blood?

A very strong smell of blood came over.

Annan immediately got up and took two steps towards the door—the one who reacted with him was the yellow hair who was still eating slowly after eating.

So Annan immediately saw the visitor.

Or rather——saw the remains of the guest.

A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a distorted expression, with his right hand stretched forward and slightly bent, he kept knocking on the door.

And he was hung in front of the door like a swing, and when he swung back and forth, his outstretched right hand would knock on the door.

And the two legs of the "philosopher" were missing, and the plasma was constantly pouring down. The door and the ground at the door have been completely stained red by blood plasma.

After the doctor opened the door, following the "philosopher"'s "legless flying kick", his whole body was splashed with blood from bottom to top.

Judging by the freshness of this blood, the "philosopher" should have died not long ago...

"what happened?"

The elder sister made a trembling voice with fear: "This is... Are there bandits? Murderers have entered the village?"

"It should be the murderer who broke in from outside," the old woman thought calmly, "There are only eight of us in this village. And all seven of us are already here... And when we came, we never saw this kind of thing."

--wrong.

Annan objected in his heart.

Not everyone has an alibi—the sister committed the crime on the contrary. After everyone has entered the house, she can turn out the window to commit the crime... The premise is that the murderer is really one of them.

This time is the detective copy?

But Annan always felt that it was not that simple...

"what should I do?"

The lady with the big belly looked really panicked: "My baby is going to be born tomorrow!"

"Don't panic."

The doctor first reached out and pressed his body, and the time on his body was reversed, and the blood disappeared completely.

Then he said calmly: "Since some outsiders have entered the village, it means that it may be dangerous for us to go home. Then we might as well get together and keep each other safe...I can be with you and the old woman tonight, ma'am, Protect you two."

"Then I'll live with Uncle."

Huangmao quickly replied, "I'll protect Uncle!"

"Do I live with the tinker?"

The elder sister's voice was still a little hesitant, she obviously felt that the child should not be able to protect herself.

And Huang Mao also saw it, and immediately replied: "Do you want to add sister and tinker? Then why don't the four of us leave?"

"also."

The doctor said in a deep voice: "You protect the tinkers and the others. Before the sun sets, I will take them away first."

"Be careful on the road too."

Huang Mao instructed: "You are pushing a wheelchair, and you are bringing a pregnant woman with you. Maybe that gangster hasn't gone far yet."

The party ended abruptly.

After the three left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much cooler.

Whether it's the silent tinker, the older sister who looks like an ordinary girl, or Annan who is thinking, no one wants to chat with Huangmao.

Annan thought about it, and walked towards the four cards left by the old woman.

This is the sister's card, so the old woman didn't leave when she left. And the doctor obviously didn't have the time to play divination again.

So Annan first relied on his own feelings and turned over the second card from the left.

That is a piece of righteous justice.

Annan paused, and then opened the first one from the left.

It was the one in the doctor's original photo.

——It was an inverted Grim Reaper.

"Are you looking at the cards, Arbor?"

Huang Mao came over, and then flipped over a sheet: "Strength...does this mean that I am very powerful?"

"It's the power of inversion."

Annan said casually, "I'm afraid it's just the opposite."

"Tsk... so sad?"

Huang Mao put down the cards embarrassingly.

The tinkerer and sister on the side obviously have no interest in playing this game.

Even the plates on the table were not cleaned.

"Let's sleep in the living room tonight."

My sister found out some quilts and some sets of pajamas, and explained in a low voice: "The sound insulation of the room may be a bit better... Just in case, let's sleep here. It's good to have someone to take care of you.

"It's getting dark now. Let's search the village together when it's dawn tomorrow morning."

"You're right."

Annan agreed in a low voice, "I'm a little sleepy."

He suddenly felt very sleepy... he didn't even have time to get under the quilt, so he fell asleep on his side on the sofa.

The feeling of being watched by someone also became clearer.

It's like a "moment" when the eyes are closed and opened.

When Annan woke up again.

He found himself still sitting, with a blanket over his lap.

"Old woman?"

The doctor's steady voice sounded behind him: "Are you awake?"

... old woman?

Annan suddenly realized something, raised his head, and opened his eyes.

He wasn't sitting on the sofa, but in a wheelchair—

What caught Annan's eyes was the huge sunset hanging high in the sky.

It's like going back to a few hours ago.

— as if the sun had never set.
