Chapter 896 The Third State
Luo Binhan asked in a daze, "Can people pass over that bridge?"

No one answered him, and even the bridge disappeared, hidden in the dense and silent blue mist.The fog always thickens and lightens, like clouds and tides ebb and flow, round after round, and there has never been any change.The garden is very quiet at the moment, no one is there except him.He asked about those vermilion bridges, but didn't really expect an answer.

What a great time, probably the best time of my life.He was satisfied with this situation, so he continued to sit on the grass, listening to the delicate jingling of the stones and flowers and trees, waiting for the thick blue mist to dissipate, and the strange flowing water and the exquisitely carved Zhuqiao appeared again .He can watch it forever without worrying about getting bored—there is absolutely no boredom in this place, and 1 minute is no different from 1 years.But if the scenery changes, he won't have any opinion. It's not something he can decide. It's good to stay here.

But, alas, this time the fog refused to fade away.The fog became thicker and thicker, and the emerald green became heavy, and then the blue screen became dark and dark.The long night in the garden has come.Luo Binhan couldn't help complaining loudly, and Cao Di sighed under him.The master of the garden has returned.The thing never showed itself, but it was behind the fog.Creeping, writhing, ugly and pathetic struggles to move.When this thing takes possession of the garden, the landscape changes, and all life cannot bear to linger.

Luo Binhan fell backwards.The thick black night fog suddenly pushed him out of Liyuan.The mist contaminated with the habit of the master is harmful, and the poisonous miasma of corruption is thrown into the skin, causing unbearable pain.He yelled and threw his head back violently, something shattered.He emerged from the dead fog, dazed, with a hollow hole in the back of his head.

There are echoes from all directions, as if you are in a small cave.He's no longer in the garden, in a pretty bad place.There was no light, the oxygen was thin, and his stomach seemed to be hollowed out by someone. The area close to the skin and superficial muscles was excruciatingly painful, while the deep part of the fat was empty and numb, without any feeling.He was amputated at the waist because of this, and could never stand up again.It's true, something chopped him off a while ago.Something like this happened once before, by the Witch, and now it's happening again.

What exactly happened here?Luo Binhan asked himself confusedly.The humming in his ears gradually subsided, and he first felt sensation in his fingertips.Wet water.No.It's a shadow.Another reflection of the world, the dark road leading to Liyuan.Then there was the warmth of the face, and the breath of the living creature was sprayed on his face.Colors and shapes gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and after a few seconds, it was the silhouette of a half-body of a living person, his face was invisible, only the shimmering light was reflected from the broken hair on the top of his forehead, like a jellyfish that did not absorb enough light.Luo Binhan found this scene a bit funny.

"Old Mo..." He said vaguely, "Your lamp..."

The silhouette wobbled a bit, making a loud, deeply inhaling noise.Then he heard Yu Xiaorong's voice. "He lived."

A deep voice answered her in the darkness.Luo Binhan couldn't hear clearly, or maybe it was just a disapproving hum.What is Yu Xiaorong doing?Who is she with?What happened to his head?Luo Binhan thought hard for a few seconds—the memory before falling into this dark house came back instantly, and he suddenly understood where he was.

"Fluffy?" He wanted to reach out and grab the outline in front of him.But as soon as his arm left the ground, a sense of exhaustion made his muscles relax, and his palm fell on the broken glass, feeling a bit cold and tingling.Then he realized that his calling was also extremely abnormal.It's not dumb, it's not leaking, it's like a savage who just learned to speak.He wanted to ask Yu Xiaorong if he was safe, but he couldn't remember how to pronounce this sentence.It was a strange loss of control that he hadn't even imagined.Words are brewed from the chest and have a clear shape, but when they flow out of the throat, they are violently deformed, like a lump of loose dough, and the syllables and tones are all mixed up indiscriminately.

"Ah, ah?" He asked weakly, "Huh?"

"What happened to your throat?" Yu Xiaorong asked anxiously in a low voice.She put her palm on Luo Binhan's neck.The palm was wet, maybe it was sweat, and it was as hot as a piece of coal that had just been burnt.She eagerly searched for the wound on his neck, and the heat of the living gave Robin Han strong comfort.The strangeness that made him forget words was gone.After a few seconds he regained control of his voice and key.

"I'm fine." He said weakly, "You...you..."

"I thought you were murdered."

Yu Xiaorong took his hand away from his neck.She stood still in the darkness for a while: "Just now...your appearance just now..."

She stopped talking.Luo Binhan vaguely felt that her tone seemed a little distant.He didn't understand why, but he didn't get a chance to ask.Another shadow emerged from the darkness. It floated near the door of the room and landed on the side near the terrace.Robinham saw Gerd Schilling, or something that called itself Gerd Schilling.He immediately grabbed Yu Xiaorong's arm, trying to drag her away from that thing.But his hands still couldn't use any strength, and the hollow feeling was spreading from his abdomen to his whole body, leaving him in a cloud of emptiness.

Yu Xiaorong grabbed his sliding hand: "What do you feel uncomfortable about?"

Robin Han shook his head blankly.His head and stomach were aching, but it wasn't real pain.He felt that his consciousness was still far away from his body, receiving everything in front of him through a thick layer of confusion.All this seemed to have nothing to do with him, so mobilizing his mind was as strenuous as mobilizing his strength, but a sense of urgency made him more and more sober.Yu Xiaorong was right next to him, and he couldn't leave her in this darkness...especially with that Gerd Schilling.

"Very touching meeting." The thing said hoarsely.Luo Binhan reached out to grab Yu Xiaorong's arm again, only to find a cold and sharp sawn edge.Some kind of uneven blade retracted as soon as it hit his fingertips, and then Yu Xiaorong pressed his arm back with his elbow.

"He's alive," she said. "You saw it."

"He was dead just now."

"Only in your mouth—but, Lot, maybe you're right, I admit it's incredible. And you see, since your strength can't kill him..."

"We'll figure it out," the thing said in a slow, slightly annoyed voice.Luo Binhan listened to them in pain and exhaustion. They were all in English. Maybe he heard part of it wrong, so he couldn't help but be confused.

"Lot?" He whispered to Yu Xiaorong for an answer.The latter was carefully putting his hands behind his head, checking for any wounds there. "He's not Gerd Schilling," she said, digging her fingers into his hair. "His name is Rod—he used to be Klein's cellmate, I guess."

There was a sudden prick of skin on the back of his head.Luo Binhan hissed, but Yu Xiaorong held onto his hair firmly. "It's just broken glass, I can take it off."

"Then my brains will flow out." Luo Binhan complained, but his eyes were fixed on the shadow by the terrace.He was a little unclear about the situation for the time being, but that thing was by no means a good one, and there was no mistake about that.

"It's just a tiny piece, it's just embedded in the skin—don't move, I've touched it."

She may have removed the piece of broken glass as gently as possible, but Luo Binhan still deliberately showed pain.That's what the guy who watched them watched.He shook his head, his eyes pretended to be blank: "Is my head broken?"

"It's too dark in here. I can't see very well..."

"Actually," said Rhodes, "I remember the fatal blow was in the abdomen."

"But my head hurts badly." Luo Binhan still insisted, "Who beat you?"

Yu Xiaorong reached out to his stomach. "He's fine." She announced with a somewhat strange tone, "I didn't find the wound."

"That's interesting. You'd better make sure..."

"You can see for yourself, Lot. He's really all right. Unless you didn't cut his clothes when you gave him the killing blow."

Luo Binhan found that the withered face could still show a surprised expression.He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see this Lot thing more clearly, but his eyesight hadn't fully recovered.Every shadow seems to be wriggling, with a mottled luster, as if crawling with ants.All he could see was Lot's dismal face protruding from the neckline, like a decayed barkless tree trunk protruding from an ant colony.He calmly thought it was a monster, but Yu Xiaorong said it was Klein's inmate.How would she know?Unless there is something new about Colein.Maybe Klein has become something like this.Yu Xiaorong knew more about this matter than he did—and he thought he was the only one with the big secret.

The secret that belonged to Yu Xiaorong approached them two steps. "Now let me ask a few questions. First, where is Klein now?"

"We don't know." Yu Xiaorong said, "He only looked for my brother once, and then he left. We don't know where he went."

Luo Binhan couldn't help but glance at her, but Yu Xiaorong's hand quietly pinched his leg.He obediently raised his head, pretending to be dizzy and in pain, while thinking about her words.

Lot's voice couldn't hear belief or disbelief, but it had a strange weight, making one feel how engrossed he was at the moment. "Tell me the details."

"What details?" Yu Xiaorong said.She put her hand on Luo Binhan's stomach again, and this time Luo Binhan felt some kind of cold and hard weapon sticking to his left belly through the fabric of the shirt.She was telling him what weapons they had on hand now.A knife, rather shabby and useless.

"Don't make trouble, little girl." Rhodes said sharply, "Let your brother tell me! Let him tell me every detail of Klein's search for him, and I will know if you are lying!"

Robinson had never seen Lenny Collein outside of the photos and videos, and he was completely bewildered by the status quo.He could only continue to pretend to be unconscious and confused, waiting for Yu Xiaorong to give him instructions.

Yu Xiaorong was quiet for a few seconds.Luo Binhan seemed to be able to hear the gears in her head rattling and spinning. "He can't explain it, Lot, it's too complicated... I mean, he doesn't know German, and his English isn't good enough, he can't explain something so outlandish unless you Let him speak in his mother tongue."

"So you want to be an interpreter?"

"I don't need an on-site interpreter." Yu Xiaorong said calmly, "He has already told me, and I can tell all the details."

There was a quiet strength in her voice, the tone of an actor who expresses a clear conscience.If he didn't know enough about her state of lying when she was a child, Luo Binhan would have to admit that she was very contagious, but Rhodes' suspicions were not easily dispelled.His gaze penetrated the darkness and still enveloped them. Luo Binhan couldn't see clearly, but he could feel the weight of the shadow moving on him.

"We'll find out," said Rod at last. "No, I don't believe you, little girl. I know you lied to Clariant once, and I won't make the same mistake."

"As you like, Lot. If you can find a Chinese translator right now, I have to admit that you do have some skills."

Rhodes snorted. "I don't need it."

"Are you going to perform mind reading?"

"I'll let you tell the story, little girl," said Lot, "but in the meantime I'll let your brother write it, in his own mother tongue. I hope you'll tell the same story."

"Are you kidding?" Luo Binhan said, "You won't let me write so many words by hand?"

No one paid him any attention.Yu Xiaorong let go of his hand quietly.As long as Lot was interested in the story they were about to make up, they could have a moment of respite.It is impossible to predict how Rhode will deal with them later, but if Luo Binhan has a chance to touch his mobile phone, at least he has a helper he can count on.

"Help your brother well," Lot said, his voice suddenly becoming kind. "Let's find a more comfortable place--don't procrastinate there, little girl, you should understand that I am not afraid of you calling the police. I am no longer afraid of any mortal power."

"Does it also include nuclear bombs?" Luo Binhan asked politely.Yu Xiaorong pinched his arm, half helped and half pulled him up from the ground, and asked him in a low voice if he could walk.Luo Binhan did feel that the soles of his feet were a little vacant, as if he was standing on the deck of a sea ship, but he still managed to take a step forward.His strength was consumed a lot, but his mind and vision recovered better, so he answered Yu Xiaorong vaguely, put an arm on her shoulder, and pushed her to the side away from Rhodes.Sensing his strength, Yu Xiaorong also quietly nudged him with an elbow.

"You need to find a place to lie down and rest." She said in just the right volume, "Let's go downstairs to the living room first..."

"No," said Lot, "we're not staying in this house."

Yu Xiaorong's first steps stopped.Both she and Luo Binhan turned to look at Luo De, who was looking up at the messy mirror room.For a moment, the monster seemed to have forgotten both of them, bewildered about something, this room.They heard its murmurs murmured, unspoken but suspicious.

Luo Binhan touched Yu Xiaorong quietly, suggesting that she pay attention to her signal and seize any chance to escape later.Yu Xiaorong waved him away and whispered, "Don't be stupid!"

Their short communication alarmed Rhodes.It woke up from its mysterious trance, with a glint of light in its eyes, which was extremely fierce and terrifying.But for some reason, that didn't make it any more frightening than the previous appearance, and Luo Binhan just felt that it was even a little stern.He couldn't help staring at Lot until their eyes met.From the bottom of his heart, he still doesn't think this thing is terrible, even if it can kill him.And this kind of thought seems impossible to hide from his eyes.

The corners of Rhode's mouth twisted. "I thought of a good idea." He said softly, "Why should we do this in someone else's house? Let's go to a more comfortable place, it might help you to tell the truth—" "No!" Yu Xiaorong said, but She immediately fell silent, because this sentence would only have the opposite effect.

Luo Binhan understood Rhodes' intentions as well as she did.His heart sank, but then it occurred to him that at least this was an opportunity.Since Momolo never heard the call of the heart (at least not his), he needed a mobile phone and the Internet to turn things around, which was extremely difficult in Anti-Pierre's house.Now is not the time to worry about Yu Qingshu and Malcolm discovering the secret, now is the time to work hard for the lives of Yu Xiaorong and others.

"I think kids are more honest when they're supervised by their parents," Lott said. "When I was a kid, I never lied to my dad because parents who love their kids are the ones who see the lies the most...  ..."

"It sounds like it was made up." Luo Binhan muttered in Chinese, "I haven't encountered a single word before."

"So let's go back to your parents' house, girl. They must be worrying about your brother right now."

Yu Xiaorong didn't say anything.From her slightly tightened fingertips, Luo Binhan knew that she must be racking her brains to think of an idea, so as to prevent the fake police officer Xilin from invading her home and threatening her with her parents.Robin Han, however, thought they should take the risk.The thing is obvious, he can't let any lunatic who is colluding with Klein get close to Yu Xiaorong, and since he can't count on Anti-Pierre now, he must find Momolo no matter what.So when Yu Xiaorong shook his arm lightly and asked him to find a way to stop Luo De, Luo Binhan deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Yu Xiaorong pinched him and whispered impatiently in Chinese: "We can't let him into the house!"

"Why not?" Robin Han said, "We need help now. Besides, you really shouldn't have kept the matter of Colein from me, Fluffy. This is too much."

"You didn't tell me more!" Yu Xiaorong replied angrily.She no doubt had many more words of accusation to spit out, but Lot interrupted their conversation.

"From now on," said Lot, "if you two must talk, do it in English or German. I don't want to be excluded from your conversation, okay?"

"Okay." Robin Han said.There were already many stories about his meeting with Klein in his mind.But it's not enough for him to talk about it all by himself, he needs to know what kind of lie Yu Xiaorong is going to make up.Maybe she'd pin one of her bedside stories on Klein's head, the retold tales of their mutual secrets.He just needs to wait for Yu Xiaorong to give him a hint, maybe mention a golden lamp, or a crazy professor.He told so many bedtime stories to Yu Xiaorong when he was a child, as long as she gave a key word, he would be able to know what she meant.

Lot forced them out of the room and down the messy hallway.When Luo Binhan caught a glimpse of the wall clock at the end of the corridor, he couldn't help but stop, as if he had been struck by lightning, and several hazy but terrifying pictures surged in his mind.Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiaorong grabbed him tightly and let him lean on her shoulder more - she must have thought he couldn't walk anymore.But when her eyes wandered in the corridor, Luo Binhan also heard her hissing in a low voice.

"What happened here just now?" she asked in English, perhaps expecting Lot to answer her.But Rhode didn't respond at all. Luo Binhan hesitated for a while, and finally remained silent.For a moment they fell into a strange silence.In the darkness, Luo Binhan suddenly felt that they were not like a monster and two coerced victims at the moment, but three ignorant and stupid worms, rolling unconsciously in this unknown world, neither seeing nor The scene in the distance, and the sound of the outside can not be heard.They can only feel the things they touch by chance, even though Luo De and Yu Xiaorong can never know more than him—but maybe the other two think so too.

"Go forward," Rhodes said sharply, with an overemphasized ferocity in his tone, which made him more like a living person than some kind of monster.They walked down the stairs slowly, and each step seemed like hours.Luo Binhan still felt dizzy, and the floor tiles under his feet were as soft as mud, like the wet grass shrouded in green mist.

He passed through the cobalt blue moonlight as if in a dream, and there seemed to be nothing beyond the open door.When he walked through the door, he felt that this incident seemed to have happened repeatedly—he had crossed such a door in the past, or he was destined to step through such a door in the future, and crossed the door to the long and quiet garden. .Is he still in that garden?Or walking the streets of Regenberg?He could barely see the streets and the houses.When a paranoid desire overwhelms the reasonable, the illusion overwhelms reality.However, at least Yu Xiaorong was still beside him, letting him know that he was not really dreaming.

He is already very familiar with the wonders in the garden, but every time it is different.This time there is a river, but the flowing water has solidified into a jade trail.After crossing the jade path, there is a bamboo fence that he has never seen before, shining with a dazzling emerald color.Thousands of flowers are clustered behind the fence, clustered around a beautifully carved moon gate.He walked into it with Yu Xiaorong's support.Then the door closed and screams rang out.
