Even if a fisherman enters an infinite game, he still has to cast a rod

"To be or not to be? That is the question."

"Should I silently endure the ruthless blows of fate, or stand up and fight against the endless sufferings of the world...!"

The TV came on, and after the snow stopped, Jack's solo performance began to play again.

Just as he was reciting his lines, a figure came into the picture from afar.

The man muttered to the person behind the camera: "Just let him be a fan, why do you have to let him go out and embarrass himself?"

Vincent's voice was heard from off-camera.

"How can it be shameful to bravely pursue your dreams?" he retorted:

"And Jack has great potential, you agree, don't you?"

The man in the vest shrugged and said nothing.

Vincent asked again: "By the way, what about what I asked you to do?"

The man took out an envelope and said casually, "This is not a big production, but I've seen it, and the script is good. If this guy can pass the interview, he should be able to become a little famous."

Vincent: "Haha, I knew it, Tony is just a tough guy with a soft heart."

The scene changed and captured the person's face.

Only then did Jiang Yuan see Tony's appearance clearly.

This was a handsome young man who was full of vigor and vitality. His orange-blond short hair was combed neatly and a few whiskers were left behind. His face was sharp, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were bright, and his hawk-like aggressiveness was somewhat masked by the disdain between his facial features.

Different from Vincent's gentlemanly and easy-going personality, Tony's every move reveals a stubborn, duplicity, slightly rough, but loyal temperament.

He covered the camera with his hand and said disdainfully: "Don't take me in the picture, it's so stupid."

"Ok."

The camera moved down, capturing only Tony's head and below.

Vincent's hand enters the frame, trying to take the letter, but finds nothing.

Tony folded his arms and said, "I asked several friends for help and finally got this spot. Do you want to just give it to him?"

Vincent said gratefully: "Thank you, dear Uncle Tony, you are really the best, most handsome and most amazing uncle in the world!"

Tony held his head high, unmoved.

Vincent was at his wit's end. He moved the camera closer and whispered helplessly, "Okay, come on, give it a mouthful."

Tony pushed the camera away and yelled with a smile, "Get lost!"

Jiang Jian: ...

He hadn't expected Vincent to be so flirtatious around his friends.

at this time.

【---Sizzle---】

The picture went back a few seconds, and Jiang Yuan pressed the pause button, freezing the picture at the moment when the camera was close to Tony.

"right here!"

He left the blanket to Fish, walked forward, pointed at the gold watch chain dangling on Tony's chest on TV, and said:

"Master, look, there is a slight scratch on the thirteenth link of his watch bracelet, but there is no scratch on this watch."

Jiang Jian took the dark gold pocket watch, compared it repeatedly for a moment, nodded and confirmed: "Yes, it is indeed different."

The video continues to play.

*

When the performance was almost over, Tony took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and said, "Tsk, I should go."

Vincent: "Where are you going so late?"

*

The screen paused again.

This time the pocket watch is shown in its entirety, and on the inside of the watch cover, one can indeed see a photo of the two of them.

Not only that, perhaps because of Tony's careless personality, there were scratches on the side of his watch cover, but the watch that Jiang Yuan took was clean and without a trace of damage.

The scene continues.

*

Tony put the watch back into his pocket and complained, "Where else can I go? Go help some dean. The new batch of medicine has arrived. I'll go down and take a look."

Vincent: "Be careful along the way."

After the interlude, the camera once again focused on Jack's personal stage show.

Jiang Yuan discovered that after Tony appeared, Jack's emotions on the stage became a little unstable, but the difference was very subtle, like a fleeting illusion.

Soon, the video came to an end with Vincent's enthusiasm and the patients' sparse applause.

【---Huahuahua---】

The screen is lit up with snow.

But the evidence Jiang Yuan wanted was already there.

Jiang Jian said: "So, the pocket watch we got is the one that Vincent lost? No... maybe his watch was not lost at all. Vincent is the man in black. He escaped and then came back, pretending that he knew nothing, and by the way, he was able to confuse us."

Jiang Yuan felt something was wrong: "But, with the order from the third watch, he shouldn't lie."

Jiang Jian shook his head: "There's something strange about the people here. Didn't they also fail to pinpoint the man in black at midnight?"

Jiang Yuan was also puzzled by this.

It can't be that the third watch is malfunctioning, right?

"Jack doesn't like Tony."

Fish's sudden remarks caught the attention of both men.

Jiang Yuan asked: "Fish, have you met Jack?"

"Never seen it." Fish said:

"But this used to be Jack's ward. He left a few things before he left."

Jiang Jian: “What is it?”

Fish was silent: ...

Jiang Jian: ...

Jiang Yuan asked again: "What is it?"

Fish then started to move.

He lifted the blanket, walked to the wall, looked at the various graffiti for a while, and finally chose a place that was only covered with black woods. He scratched at it again and again.

Just when Jiang Jian was about to get fed up with this dawdling young master and wanted to go over and lend a hand.

"--Shh--"

Fish carefully peeled off a piece of wallpaper, revealing what was behind it.

Looking at the things on the wall, Jiang Yuan took a step back and couldn't help but said, "It seems that Jack and Tony don't have a good relationship."

Jiang Jian took a breath and said, "Indeed."

Inside the ward, underneath the thick wallpaper, there was a sentence written in extremely crazy and sloppy bold fonts.

【Die, bitch Tony!!!】

【Die, bitch Tony!!!】

【Die, bitch Tony!!!】

【Die, bitch Tony!!!】

[Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!]

[Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!]

[Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!] [Bitch Tony, die!!!]

The violent and chaotic handwriting, the brushstrokes sunk deep into the wall, the full and terrifying emotions, and the three big exclamation marks, all reveal the madness and anger of the creator.

Obviously he is seriously ill.

Jiang Yuan asked: "Is it the same on other walls?"

Fish nodded unhappily. He was very dissatisfied with the previous resident of this ward.

The boy said, "I discovered this when I was painting last year. Vincent said that Jack is more sensitive when he is ill."

"This is too sensitive," Jiang Jian complained, and then asked:

"But Jack is already dead, so what if he is sick? Could it be that... he just faked his death and is hiding here to seek revenge on Tony? But what kind of hatred could there be between them? Tony helped him get the audition spot."

Various possibilities flashed through his mind, and they contradicted each other, causing him to become more and more confused the more he thought, and finally it became a mess.

Jiang Yuan pondered: "I don't know either. I have to go ask Tony."

Jiang Jian was surprised: "Do you know where Tony is?"

Jiang Yuan: "Well, we have to go down the mountain, he is there."

Fish: “Okay.”

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Jian: ...

The two turned around and saw Fish standing behind them, looking at them expectantly.

Jiang Jian gave his apprentice a look, signaling him to deal with the little devil.

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to coax him like a child, "Fish, now that we have finished watching the video, it is getting late, so we will not disturb you."

As he was about to slip away, Fish grabbed his hand.

"I'm with you."

Jiang Yuan changed the subject: "Let me tell you one of my favorite bedtime horror stories."

Fish put a little force on his hands and insisted:

"I'm with you."

Jiang Yuan: "How about singing a lullaby? On the other side of the mountain, in the depths of the sea, there is a big pineapple...!"

He started singing something random, trying to lull Fish to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the sleepyhead's eyes became more determined, and he spoke word by word:

"Together."

"Okay... Fish, this won't work." Jiang Yuan held his forehead and had to formally refuse:

"We are going to do something very dangerous. We can't take you with us this time. You should have a good rest. I will come back to see you."

Fish thought about it, lowered his head, and said unhappily: "...Okay."

Looking at the young man's lonely and disappointed expression, Jiang Yuan felt a little guilty.

He was soft-hearted to begin with, and what was more, he was facing the reincarnation of a little ghost. He became as soft as a puddle of mud and couldn't even be picked up.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

He couldn't let Fish go into danger with them, so he had to refuse with a heart of stone.

After coaxing the young master, the master and disciple set off and prepared to leave through the main gate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of the room, Jiang Yuan heard a strange rustling noise behind him.

When I turned around, I saw Fish standing on the sofa. He took out a thick hemp rope from somewhere, skillfully swung it onto the chandelier, tied a bow, and prepared to put his head in and hang himself.

End this boring life.

Jiang Yuan tried to stop him: "Okay, okay, okay! Take you with me! Take you with me! Take you with me, okay!!"

The purpose is achieved.

Fish untied the knot, calmly jumped off the sofa, and followed shyly, being extremely well-behaved.

Jiang Yuan noticed that the young master had even changed his leather shoes in advance, and his mood suddenly became complicated, thinking distressedly:

Oops, it seems like he has me in his grasp.

Just before closing the door, Jiang Yuan noticed a small triangular cake on the table at the entrance of the corridor.

It was a pink heart-shaped cake, a specialty of the spiritual monastery. Fish was supposed to eat it and fall asleep.

But perhaps because he was cleaning the house, Fish didn't have time to eat.

Looking at this suspicious cake, Jiang Yuan narrowed his peach blossom eyes, as if thinking about something.
