Chen Hao stared blankly at the brand on the back of his hand, his dull eyes full of confusion.

It wasn't until the fog on the river gradually dispersed and a speedboat approaching at high speed dragged him onto the deck that Chen Hao suddenly came to his senses.

"Chen Hao, are you okay?"

"You said someone fell into the river, where was that person?"

"We drove around for several times and didn't see anyone..." The person who spoke was a peer wearing a police uniform.

This man's name is Chen Yi, who is Chen Hao's best friend since he was a child. He joined the army before going to college. After he was discharged from the army, he first entered the Gujie Police Station as an auxiliary policeman. After passing the exam, he was successfully promoted to a full-time officer, and he became a civilian policeman from the auxiliary policeman.

Responsible for the security around Wenfeng Ancient Street.

Such a big thing happened, so Chen Yi, who was on duty, naturally heard about it and rushed over.

"Ah Yi, didn't you see anyone in the water?" Chen Hao suddenly raised his head and asked.

"We've all gone a long way. The river is only so big. Now the fog has dissipated. If someone really fell into the water, we would have discovered it by now."

"I just called the brother units upstream and downstream, but I didn't receive any call for help. I guess it's probably some kind of garbage. The tree pole drifted down and you mistakenly thought it was a person." Chen Yi shook his head seriously.

Although this kind of incident is rare, it happens several times every year on the riverside in Heyang City, so that when the police are dispatched, it is basically a false alarm.

The description of "Fa Xiao" made Chen Hao's eyes full of confusion.

For a person who has practiced martial arts for more than ten years, Chen Hao is confident that his eyesight and memory will not make mistakes.

But the scene when he rescued people just now was really beyond his expectation.

It was obviously a living person soaking in the river, but when he touched his shoulder, he suddenly turned into transparent fragments and disappeared completely, as if the world had evaporated.

Such an impactful scene almost shattered Chen Hao's outlook on life.

"Why did that person suddenly disappear?"

"Forget it if it's gone, how could it become fragments?"

"It can't be because I met him!"

Chen Hao was so surprised that he suddenly remembered the sword master in the old movie "Wind and Cloud" who was using Sword Twenty-Three and was turned into ashes by a gentle touch from Chu Chu who was passing by.

How similar the scenes between the two are!

However, a movie is a movie and reality is reality.

Chen Hao, who has practiced Drunken Boxing for more than ten years, knows better than anyone that in the real world there is no such thing as extraordinary abilities such as the soul leaving the body.

……

In a spirit of respect and respect, the police speedboat made several large circles on the river and searched for more than half an hour. No one was found, but two bags of garbage were brought up.

After confirming that no one fell into the water, the speedboat quickly carried Chen Yi and others to the shore.

Chen Hao was sent ashore immediately. At this time, he was wrapped in a towel and blanket, standing at the cruise pier eagerly waiting for news about Chen Yi.

Of course, after learning that it was an oolong incident, the young and old men who were watching nearby slowly dispersed.

The originally noisy ancient streets and embankments have regained their former tranquility.

On the contrary, there were several small vendors who opened teahouses nearby. The young boss was very happy at this time. When he saw Chen Hao, he half-jokingly joked that he had achieved a lonely feat by "acting bravely for a just cause".

Because in just a few moments, the business of these teahouses suddenly went from a few customers to a full house, making a huge profit.

Seeing Chen Yi and several auxiliary police officers and the firefighters walking ashore talking and laughing, Chen Hao knew that this incident of rescuing people from drowning was definitely going to be an oolong.

"Ah Yi, I'm sorry! I delayed your duty."

"Do you want to go back and make a note with you?" Seeing Fa Xiao leading a group of people searching the river so seriously, Chen Hao apologized to everyone with some embarrassment.

"What are you taking notes for? It's not a big deal."

"Don't take it too seriously. Our office encounters more than a dozen cases of this kind of oolong police situation every year." Chen Yi waved his hand indifferently, and then looked at Chen Hao in surprise.

The appearance of the back of the right hand.

"Your right hand is injured?"

"Do you want to go to our institute to get some medicine?" Chen Yi asked with concern.

"No... not injured, just recently... I just got a tattoo..." Chen Hao forced out an ugly smile, moved his left hand covering the back of his right hand away, and raised it in front of Chen Yi.

He raised his hand.

Although the police station characterized the incident as an own incident, the strange tattoo on the back of his right hand reminded Chen Hao that he had definitely not made a mistake before.

"Tattoo?"

"You don't have any tattoos on your hands!"

"It's really... we made the river breeze blow for half an hour and fished out two bags of garbage. You're still joking like this innocent person. I'll treat you to a supper tonight!" Chen Yi rolled his eyes and felt that he couldn't vent his anger. He stretched out his hand.

Stabbed Chen Hao.

After making some jokes and agreeing to go out for a supper in the evening, Chen Yi quickly headed back, leaving a confused Chen Hao looking down at the back of his hand.

"Others can't see my mark?"

……

Seeing that the matter was over, Chen Hao returned to the Eight Immortals Martial Arts Hall with some suspicion.

He first went to the bathroom and used the faucet to rinse the strange tattoo on the back of his hand for several minutes. He used soap, shower gel, alcohol, and baking soda, but it didn't have any effect.

"What on earth is this, a poison? A curse seal? A prank?"

"Or is there something wrong with my eyes, causing me to have visual hallucinations?"

Chen Hao didn't believe in evil, so he took out his mobile phone and patted the back of his right hand.

As soon as he saw the photo he just took on his cell phone, Chen Hao felt a chill coming from the depths of his soul. Goosebumps stood up all over his body.

Because the camera function of the mobile phone cannot capture this strange mark!

"What the hell! What the hell is this?" Chen Hao took a deep breath, then took out a pen and paper from the office and started tracing the strange marks bit by bit.

Something more terrifying happened!

Just after Chen Hao outlined the outline of the strange brand, the originally clearly visible black water-based pen lines turned into transparent fragments and disappeared into the air like the man who disappeared into the river.

That kind of scary, strong and exciting feeling, as if there is some kind of force interfering and not allowing this strange mark to appear in this real world.

"???"

"Indescribable? Incomprehensible? Only I can see it directly, can it be possessed by Mr. Ke?" Chen Hao stared at the back of his right hand in a daze, and he didn't figure out the purpose and origin of this strange tattoo until nightfall.

.

……

After battling wits and courage with this strange mark for several hours, Chen Hao finally couldn't resist the hunger in his belly and decided to go out to look for food.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

It was already past 8 pm at this time. Heyang City is located in the southwest of China, so it gets dark relatively late.

At night, Wenfeng Ancient Street is covered with a layer of golden lights. Residents near the ancient street have just had dinner and come here to cool off. There are many people visiting.

In the open space of the ancient street, several middle-aged lead dancers with enchanting postures were leading a large group of square dance apprentices in uniforms. The speakers were loudly playing, and the business was much better than that of Chen Hao's martial arts studio.

Chen Hao glanced at these energetic old men and women, and was about to go out to find a restaurant to deal with them casually, but he didn't expect that this guy Chen Yi had been guarding the door of the martial arts gym early.

"You got off work so early today?"

"Didn't you say late night snack?" Chen Hao asked suspiciously.

"It's time to take turns, and I'll be working the day shift this month."

"The late night snacks and dinners are the same! You're the one treating me anyway!" Chen Yi smiled and hooked up his hands, and he and Chen Hao slipped into a popular Jianghu restaurant outside the ancient street.

After ordering a portion of Wanzhou Grilled Fish and two plates of cucumber side dishes, along with a large bowl of dry rice, the two of them started eating.

"Old rules, still don't drink?"

The spicy grilled fish was quite irritating. During the meal, Chen Yi brought two cans of cold beer from the refrigerator, intending to calm down the irritation.

"You don't know that I'm allergic to alcohol?" Chen Hao rolled his eyes at the other person and went to get a bottle of Sprite to make up the number.

"If you don't drink on weekends, your life will be in vain!"

"You said you're a practitioner of Drunken Boxing, but you don't even drink. I think your practice is in vain." Chen Ban joked jokingly.

The two are best friends who grew up together and know each other's situation very well.

Even the Drunken Eight Immortals Boxing passed down from Chen Hao's family, Chen Yi also practiced it with his grandfather for a while.

"I heard that this major inspection is very grand. Your shabby martial arts gym doesn't even have half an apprentice. Can it survive it?"

"If you can't, just come to work in our police station. You'll start as an auxiliary police officer. After a few years of taking the exam, you might be able to become a full-time official. With an iron rice bowl, at least you don't have to worry about unemployment." Chen Yi poured himself a glass of wine and said by the way.

The wind I heard inside.

"Have you heard about it too?" Chen Hao frowned.
