I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

After reading the current manuscript of "The Mouth of a Madman", Drizzt felt a little dizzy.

The beginning of this story begins with the disappearance of a novelist, a famous horror novelist. He left the beginning of his new novel and disappeared. The assistants were attacked in the teahouse. They defeated the attackers and came to the publishing house to find clues about the novelist, and they got stuck here at the beginning.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the content of this novel is almost exactly the same as that of Lu Juan and the others so far, except that there are some more plots in the novel. It is mentioned that the detectives found that the novelist might Went to a small town not far from the city.

And this manuscript was obviously given to the editorial department by the ancient capital two weeks ago. As for the writing, it must have been earlier.

If it is simply about the detective in charge of the investigation being attacked, it can be said to be a fixed plot in this type of novel, but the detective has two assistants, a man and a woman, which correspond to Lu Jian and Shia, and when he is attacked The two used a wonderful technique to defeat the attackers, and they were almost the same.

More importantly, when the three of them returned to the detective's office, Lu Jian's behavior of hugging the orange cat was also described in the manuscript.

"The ability to predict?"

Shia first thought of the corresponding magic, but the prophecy itself was not accurate. In the final analysis, it was just a demonstration of possibility. No one relied on it to make a decision. Moreover, in the abandoned capital, it is obviously unreasonable for a writer to have such an ability. If the ancient capital could really prophesy, then why did he disappear?

"This beginning is really perfect, isn't it, and it is very exciting to follow up."

Editor Qian carefully put away the manuscript.

"really."

Drizzt caught his words and asked again.

"Besides that, do you have any clues?"

"The ancient capital has often seen people for several days since some time ago. He said that he went to Beihan Town to collect materials, but I don't know where Beihan Town is. Do you know?"

Editor Qian looked bitter.

"I don't know."

Lu Jian shook his head.

"According to the description in the novel, the novelist in this story went to a small town in the north, so to speak,

Beihan Town should be north of the abandoned capital? "

Xi Yasi roped.

"There is a city in the past two days to the north of the ruined capital. It's not called Beihan Town, it's called Hanxu, and it's a mining city."

Drizzt explained casually.

"Then the ancient capital may have gone to the Han Ruins?"

Lu Jian asked.

"It's possible. There are always prototypes in novels. There are certain similarities between Beihan Town and Hanxu described here. Perhaps the answer can be found there."

Drizzt nodded.

He had just finished speaking when he was suddenly in a trance again.

After thinking about it carefully, in the story of "Madman's Mouth", those detectives got clues from the editorial department and decided to go to Beihan Town.

At that moment, as at this moment.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Drizzt's expression was wrong, Shia immediately asked.

"No, nothing..."

He adjusted his mood and asked more details about Editor Qian's communication with the ancient capital before leaving the publishing house.

"We are currently conducting investigations in accordance with the pace of the novel. How is this novel written?"

When he came to the street and looked at the passers-by coming and going, Drizzt sighed with emotion.

"Is there a possibility that we are in a novel now?"

Lu Jian suddenly had a whim.

"..."

Drizzt didn't want to talk to Lu Jian.

"Are we still going to the home of the ancient capital?"

Shia doesn't care much about Lu Jian's words.

"Go and see."

The three of them went to the third ring without stopping. Although it is said that there is a ring and a ring, in fact, there are no real walls to distinguish these urban areas, only streets.

When we arrived at the third ring road, the road suddenly became clean, as if someone cleaned it at any time, and the stench mixed with excrement disappeared, and instead there was the fragrance of birds singing and flowers.

There are also rickshaw pullers here, but both the cars and the clothes of these people are newer and cleaner than outside, and even their mental outlook is different.

Even when these coachmen looked at the dusty coats of Drizzt, Lu Jian and Shia coming from the streets of the Fourth Ring Road, they could still glimpse some contemptuous expressions.

Lu Jian was a little surprised by the attitude these people showed here, but it was reasonable after thinking about it.

In some ages, slaves were also proud of their masters, and even sold their compatriots for the sake of their masters, as if it has always been like this in history.

The houses here are all detached villas. The rich people in the abandoned capital are not only unwilling to share their houses with others, but also because they often hold parties. A bright hall and elegant garden are essential.

Compared with other places, it is more secluded here.

"It's very quiet here, and there are no people on the street..."

Shia couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, maybe they all went to work and inspected their own properties..."

Drizzt wanted to say something, but Lu Jian directly interrupted the two of them.

"Let's talk about something else."

Drizzt and Shia looked at Lu Trip strangely, not knowing what was so important about it.

The three of them walked along the road until they came to the villa at the end of the slope. The garden of the villa was obviously poorly maintained and was in a mess. Weeds had already taken away the growth space of normal flowers and plants, and they grew wildly, spreading to the walls, making the whole building The house looked eerie, and the situation inside the house could not be seen from here. Drizzt first took a stroll outside the yard.

"I found something."

Lu Jian looked at Drizzt who was coming back, and said seriously.

"Why, are there any traces of the ancient capital?"

"You looked like a thief just now."

Lu Jian replied.

"......go away."

Drizzt took the key and opened the iron gate of the courtyard, and the rusty gate seemed to make a creaking sound, like the ones often seen in horror movies.

Drizzt was at the front, and Lu Jian was at the end. The three of them came to the door.

Pushing open the door, Drizzt first smelled a rancid smell.

"Corpse?"

He quickly denied this conjecture, because in the kitchen sink, a mass of yellow and green matter swelled and flowed out. It was moldy food, and the rotten smell came from it.

Turning on the light, Lu Jian saw that the decoration of the whole room looked depressing, dull, and uncoordinated. You could see that the cabinets and tables were not arranged diagonally. It would definitely kill the obsessive-compulsive disorder. There were photos on the cabinets. , but there is only one person in the ancient capital.

It can be seen that this is a rather handsome young man, with melancholic characteristics in his eyebrows and eyes, and he is indeed the benchmark of literary youth.

I searched around on the first floor, but found no clues. Drizzt was about to go to the second floor to check.

At this time, Shia suddenly raised her hand.

"Hush."

She motioned for the other two to be quiet, then lowered her voice and spoke.

"There is movement upstairs."

crunch——

At the same time, from above the heads of the three of them, there was the sound of something stepping on the wooden floor.
