Chapter 97 Someone in the upper echelons
Before I could express my admiration for Master Lin's noble character, I heard Ling Zou's exaggerated smile.
If this were a person, he would not faint from laughing like this.
"How old are you and you are still so naive? How many years have the last bus on Route 14 been running? How many people have died? Why is no one taking care of it? Don't you think about it?"
Fourth Master’s words made me no longer calm, and I began to reflect.
Eight drivers on Route 14 have died. These eight lives are enough for the people above to notice.
Why is there still no response? Even except for some people in the bus company, the rest of the people don't know these things.
The only people who know something about these things are the relatives of the victims.
I thought of the driver I met when I returned to the dormitory tonight.
I always felt that what he said was too easy and too smooth and natural.
It's like I've said it many times.
The driver’s words may not be true, I thought to myself.
I couldn't help but think about Tingting that night, why she was trapped in the toilet, and why she had such a precious thing as dark wood.
If you say there is no reason, I certainly won't believe it.
So, I can’t believe Tingting’s words either.
So who can say that I can trust?
Which sentence is the truth and which sentence is a lie?
I couldn't help feeling cold, and suddenly felt that this world full of lies was not suitable for me.
"Did you also feel that something was not right, so you tried your best to stop our actions? I am afraid that the result will be unacceptable to you. Master Lin, please stop."
The fourth master's tone was full of confusion. I want to tell Master Lin.
Covering one's ears and stealing the bell is the stupidest move in the world, and it cannot be done because of his threats.
I gave up the chance to know the truth, and most importantly, I wanted to stay alive.
The only one who can help me is Master Lin.
"What do you mean, Taoist disciples are also involved?"
There was a sense of panic in Master Lin's tone.
I suddenly felt that if I really knew the ending, it might be a very cruel thing for Master Lin.
Just pretending to be confused because you understand is the stupidest move in the world.
Wang Jiuye looked at Master Lin with a mocking expression, and I could see pity in his eyes.
He is pitying Master Lin. Why should he pity Master Lin?
Wang Jiuye may know the mastermind behind this, and this mastermind is known to Master Lin.
It might be a fatal blow, perhaps Master Lin himself had guessed it.
I just don’t want to believe it.
"Taoist disciple, Lin Hualong, you claim to be orthodox in Taoism, but you are the only one who recognizes this orthodoxy. Even the senior brother you grew up with has become a recluse and a blind person. You are just like him. Isn’t it good?”
Master Lin took a step back, breathing heavily.
I really want to comfort Master Lin, but I also know that the last thing men need is comfort.
Master Lin once said that his senior brother was unwilling to help because of cause and effect, and cause and effect would affect his practice.
Now that I think about it, that was just an excuse. Master Lin may not have known about it, but he just didn't want to know.
"Senior brother has no desires and demands. He is an expert in this world. If the spiritual world is really causing trouble, he will not stand idly by."
Master Lin said forcefully, but I could hear his guilty conscience. He was probably not sure whether senior brother would take action at that time.
I sneered in my heart and said to myself slightly sarcastically.
"It's better to live in seclusion than to pretend to be deaf and mute."
The fourth master sensed Master Lin's guilty conscience, took a step forward, came to Master Lin, and gently pressed his shoulders.
Master Lin's momentum suddenly weakened a bit.
"Lin Hualong, are you afraid? If you're afraid, just stop meddling in your own business, go back to your room, and be your weirdo, okay?"
I looked nervously at Master Lin and Ling Sui who were already standing together, feeling worried for Master Lin.
After saying this, Fourth Master turned around and left the room.
Wang Jiuye suddenly appeared next to me and said sternly, "Don't open your mouth, shut up and leave here before talking."
How did he know I was going to speak.
Wang Jiuye rolled his eyes and continued impatiently, "I know you almost did something bad. Leave this place before talking."
I'm very tired right now, and I'm not in the mood to be glib.
Following Wang Jiuye, he walked out of this inconspicuous room.
I believe that a large part of the company will not have any impression of this place.
I also observed the situation in the house just now. There are no windows and I won't be discovered if I turn on the light.
And the location is so remote that no one will notice it at all.
My intuition tells me that there are more secrets here.
I was thinking about when I could come over again during the day.
Maybe you can see some clues.
After leaving the bus company's gate, Wang Jiuye suddenly turned around.
It startled me.
"Don't show off your flaws when you get back. That Niubi is very smart. As long as you and I know what happened today."
Is this a little secret between Wang Jiuye and I? I suddenly felt a little excited.
As for what Wang Jiuye said, I think this is indeed the case.
Since Master Lin doesn’t know that we overheard the conversation between him and Ling Sui, we need to make the play more complete.
Is it just that Master Lin is really the orthodox Taoist sect? Is the Taoist orthodoxy like him?
Looking back to the first time I met Master Lin, I suspected that he had just come out of the bridge tunnel.
"I will definitely not let Master Lin know, but what happened just now?"
I asked in confusion. The spirit's persistence in me is more terrible than I thought.
I never found out that there is anything special about me.
Why does it have to hold on to me?
Normally, if you meet someone you dare not provoke, you will let him go and replace him with someone who is easier to control.
There must be a reason why they insist on not letting me go.
Master Wang Jiu showed a hideous smile, which looked a bit scary.
I saw him looking at the company building thoughtfully, and then he told me.
"What's the situation? Normally, the bull's nose is bigger than you think, but the Taoist sect is now lonely and in chaos. Lin Hualong is a junior, and the burden of the Taoist sect in the future cannot stabilize the situation."
Master Wang Jiu knows a lot of things, which is reasonable.
It is an evil spirit of unknown age, and it must be knowledgeable.
Taoism is in decline. Although I have never really been in contact with this circle, I can feel it.
After all, the real Taoism has been out of touch with this society.
And Taoism, a local religious belief, is gradually declining. I have seen it with my own eyes.
Even in the Taoist temples, there are only a few Taoists who are cheating. You can imagine how miserable the sect is.
