Chapter 22: Ignorance?
What is the concept of 40,000 people living in one building?
Gu Lian knew that there was a female dormitory building in a university in the capital, with five people in one room, two hundred rooms on each floor, a total of ten floors, and 10,000 people, and this was known as the largest single dormitory building in Asia, and she didn't know how the sisters survived.
At least in the Expedition Base, it's not a very good experience. Obviously, the expeditionary base was built at the end of the day, and at first it only had a core, and it was not until the number of people gradually increased that it was expanded layer by layer. The consequence of the lack of long-term planning is that each floor is built with extreme twists and turns, and as can be seen from its complex and chaotic topography and the gaps in the walls that can be seen from time to time a man wide, the people in power here think that this is the last time for each expansion.
The place where Gu Lian had been active was the newest and best-looking place in this huge base, but when she roamed around the first floor, bumping into it like a headless fly, she realized that not every place was as clean and bright as there was - or rather, most of the places were old.
The simple and technological style that she was used to quickly faded, walking around the curved and straight walls, every time she walked through a few corridors, you could see different walls and lights, the style gradually grew old, the walls gradually faded, and the lights became more and more dim, Gu Lian felt like walking in a time and space tunnel, she felt that she was abandoned by time, and the old time kept devouring her.
But soon, she found the joy of exploring the winding and crowded corridors of the alleys. Here, you never know if the next junction will be sealed, and if there will be dusty uninhabited huts waiting for you along a secluded path. I don't know what other style of "neighborhood" welcomes you with its own unique temperament. The most thrilling experience she had was through the gap between two walls that was as narrow and damp as Six Feet Alley. She was walking sideways in a happy mood, when she suddenly heard a squeak under her feet, and Gu Lian stiffly lowered her head. In the blurred light, a black figure the size of a snow boot moved at her feet, her hair rustling with her trouser legs.
Shshsh ...... What the heck?!
Gu Lian screamed, stumbled out of the gap, and unfortunately bumped into a passerby, and was reprimanded by him impatiently.
"Right...... I'm sorry," Gu Lian gasped in shock. His face turned pale and he looked at the gap. But it was a haven for dark creatures, and she couldn't see any sign in the light.
"Is it over saying I'm sorry?" Passers-by are unrelenting. The smell of alcohol emanating from his body alerted Gu Lian, and she took a step back quietly, apologizing again and again: "I'm very sorry for this gentleman, I didn't mean to." ”
"What's the use of talking about it. Passers-by snorted. Scolding and smiling, he stepped further. Only then did Gu Lian see that his cheeks and nose were flushed, and a smoky smell of wine rushed in, "Do you think Ye is easy to provoke?"
Gu Lian frowned, and there was really no reason to talk to the drunk: "What does the gentleman want? Let me kneel down and beg you?"
"What kind of garlic to pretend, it's a thing that I'm used to doing anyway. The passer-by squinted, his anger faded, and suddenly he grinned and looked at her with an appreciative look of unscrupulousness. "This thin-skinned and tender-faced person is not B-grade, right? Lao Tzu is lucky today. ”
Gu Lian paused for a moment. Only then did she realize what he was talking about, and her anger surged, and her cheeks flushed. Looking around, the lights are dim, the walls are dull, and in some places they have fallen off, yellowed, and peeled, and the roots of the walls are damp and smelly of must. There was no one in the hallway, and on either side were crowded houses with strings of house numbers, but there was not the slightest movement in the house, as if it were a dead street.
She pursed her lips, thinking about what to do. For a sober-minded person, a threat with a gun may be useful, but for such a drunk, it is difficult to say how effective it will be. Could it be that she really wanted to hurt people with a gun......
The drunk man stretched out his hand in a daze, Gu Lian took a step back in disgust, and suddenly felt a hand pressed on his shoulder. She felt a chill in her heart, but she saw the drunk man looking behind her, his expression distorted with fear.
"You...... Are you ......" the man trembled and stepped back.
Who looks so scary? Gu Lian was wondering to herself, when she heard a somewhat familiar cold voice coming from behind herself: "It's just a mutant mouse, you don't have to be so afraid." ”
At the same time, passers-by exclaimed: "Ripper Yuzhen!"
Gu Lian was silent, shouting in front of her like this, don't you really feel like a middle two......
She almost forgot that Yan Yuzhen was still behind her.
In the morning, she wanted to ask someone to bring breakfast, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Dr. Yan standing motionless at the door. She was in a state of being in a groove at the time, and almost called the police uncle, but she inexplicably felt that she was not surprised at all.
After all, Dr. Yan has never done anything normal.
Passers-by turned around and ran, faster than rabbits, where there was still half a point of drunkenness.
Gu Lian looked at his back enviously.
Under Yan Yuzhen's focused gaze, she sighed a hundred times: "Doctor Yan, I found you really scary......
"Tell me. Yan Yuzhen said indifferently. He acted as if he didn't see the person from beginning to end, and perhaps in his world, unrelated people were gray and silent backgrounds, which did not arouse his interest in the slightest.
"I would definitely say that. Gu Lian raised her hand and swore, "But you have to find a better place to sit down and talk slowly, right?"
Yan Yu really tilted his head as if he was puzzled: "Why can't you say it now." ”
"Because ......" she has too few chips, saying that she will lose the qualification and support to continue the dialogue with him. Gu Lian whipped her conscience, smiled a little blankly, hung her head and said, "I don't want people to hear it." ”
She was not unaware of the changes in her time period, but she was still okay with a group of shrewd and powerful people who were ten times worse than herself
pretended not to know, but in front of the strange doctor who never played tricks and was a little serious, she lost her innocent qualifications.
In English, Innocence has both ignorance and innocence, perhaps in the minds of the people who make up the word, only the ignorant can maintain their innocence, and once they get involved in everything, people will either actively or passively leave the zero point and be stained with dirt.
Gu Lian didn't know if she was too cunning to think like this.
Yan Yuzhen stared at her for a while, his eyes were transparent and indifferent, which made Gu Lian feel a chill that was slowly dissected by a scalpel. The tiredness and confusion that gradually appeared in his eyes almost made Gu Lian disarm and surrender, but in the end, Yan Yuzhen just looked away as if compromising and said, "Okay." ”
Gu Lian was ashamed and grateful in her heart, it had never been so complicated.
Gu Lian continued to look for the house number she wanted between the endless doors like the sea, this time she was honest and had no intention of playing, and Dr. Yan's shadow followed him inch by inch, he walked quietly like a black panther, silent, silent, but exuding a strong sense of presence.
Finally, after hitting countless walls, she stood in front of a door.
Gu Lian swept around with a scrutinizing gaze, the houses were sparse, neat and slightly old, the environment of the entire district seemed to be medium in what she had seen, it was definitely not as good as the places where the supernatural people lived, but compared to those dilapidated and dirty places, it was better.
She knocked on the door, and soon, it opened.
A skinny boy appeared in the doorway, about her size, but much more mature than her. Although his expression is cowardly, his eyes are alert and vigilant, sophisticated and indifferent, and he has all the qualities of a small person who survives at the bottom. Gu Lian heard familiar rock music from the crack in the door.
His gaze quickly swept over Gu Lian, focusing on Yan Yuzhen's indifferent and thin face. His eyes flashed, and he immediately looked at Hui Lian again.
"Who?" he asked politely, but he seemed to have the answer
"May I ask if Zhou Zhao is here?" Gu Lian asked with a smile.
Sure enough, the boy didn't show a surprised look. He just looked at her twice, laughed and said to himself, "It's not just me." ”
"What?" Gu Lian didn't hear clearly.
But he didn't mean to explain it in the slightest. His expression quickly faded from warmth, became indifferent, and after saying a little wait, he turned and went into the house, and even closed the door. After a while, he appeared in front of them again, holding a stack of yellow paper memos.
"If my guess is correct, this is what he left for you. The boy said succinctly, with a hint of expulsion.
Gu Lian looked at the memo, it was a black leather tray at the bottom, and there was a half-cut pencil next to it, the first few pages had been torn off, and the page in front of him was just random
A few unrelated letters were drawn. I flipped it back, but there was no writing. Messages, reminders, codes, nothing.
She looked at him suspiciously: "What about Ah Zhaoren?"
"Don't look for him anymore. The skinny boy said lightly, "Don't come over again." ”
"What's going on?" Gu Lian asked vaguely uneasily.
"But if you have any gratitude, remember my words. The boy said no more and closed the door with a blank face.
The people in the house complained, "You are too gentle with girls. ”
Zhang Sheng sneered at his roommate, rolled his eyes, turned around and went back to bed to continue to catch up on sleep.
On the basement level, there is a dimly lit double room.
Xue Yun stirred his hands and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, silently looking at the silent man sitting at the table. He had been here for half an hour, but he hadn't said a word, his fingers tapping on the table, immersed in his own world, his eyebrows fierce with iron and blood.
He said he found peace by her side.
Xue Yun was noncommittal, she had heard too many men's rhetoric. In addition to the sincere feelings when she was young, she has long been worn away by reality without delusions. (To be continued.) )
