19. Mist
"The forsaken world is the name given to a specific type of parallel world by those in the know." Jian Hua flipped through the text left by Zhang Yaojin, his gaze stopped under a certain word, and he picked up the cup and silently took a sip of strong tea.
It was a light day, and the early morning was delayed due to the influence of the thick fog outside the window.
After Zhang Yaojin left, Jian Hua stayed awake all night, and always had the urge to flip through the address book to call Li Fei.
But first, they weren't close enough to exchange secrets, and secondly, Jian Hua didn't know if the number last time was Li Fei's, and finally, it was said that the actor was taken away by the red dragon to cooperate with the investigation, and it was useless to fight.
Jian Hua stuffed two MM beans into his mouth, and reluctantly suppressed the anxiety of wanting to smoke to relieve his feelings.
Regarding the invitation to join the supernumerary members of the Red Dragon, Jian Hua replied that "I still need to consider it".
It's a monster and a strange person smashing his head, probably Major Zhang also thinks that it takes time for normal people to accept it, he didn't embarrass Jian Hua, left a stack of materials and left neatly, but Jian Hua felt that there must be someone stationed near his house 24 hours a day.
This feeling of being targeted by the state secret service -
Rubbing his forehead, Jian Hua repondered the information in his hand.
Insiders, this refers to people who know the truth from different sources? The girl in the elevator of Huanyu Cinema is, the Pearl Hotel is a riot of sabotage. In vain, the young mountain bikers who died innocently on the street were, even Lu Xing.
This made Jian Hua can't help but wonder, is there something he should know and missed?
Everyone understands what it's like for me to be alone, which is really not good.
Jian Hua dropped out of high school to work hard for life, and a lot of knowledge was taught by him later, and something as tall as "parallel world" was obviously not within the scope of his study.
Fortunately, there are all kinds of films of various themes in the film and television industry, foreign films involving time travel and parallel worlds, Jian Hua has also watched a few, and he probably understands the meaning.
"It's not accurate to define an abandoned world in parallel space, it's not like a branch on a time tree. The vast majority of living beings (such as humans and animals) cannot appear in the abandoned world, where there are only towering buildings, and the prosperous appearance of modern society has no life and will not change. It may be the afterimage of life drying up at the end of time, or like a frozen corner of the world, and until there is no better scientific explanation, the term "parallel world" is still used, which is easy to understand. β
Jian Hua couldn't see where this passage was popular and easy to understand!
However, the information in his hand is more important than the script, no matter how outrageous the metaphor is, he has to continue reading.
"In particular, the Forsaken World is the name of 'this specific parallel world', and certain members (Abnormal Potentials) can enter the Forsaken World in a variety of ways, and the point at which it connects with the real world may be very small, and when your room overlaps with the Forsaken World, you will be pulled into that world, so when you open the door, you will be in fear and uneasiness, as if the real world has abandoned you and everyone has disappeared.
"Sometimes, this overlap is very large, like a city.
"If you're an Ability Potentialist and you happen to be at an overlapping point, you'll be entering an abandoned world, and conversely, even if you're an awakened Ability, you won't have to worry about getting into trouble if you're not standing on the overlap of the two worlds."
Jian Hua wondered, he felt that this wording was too important, like a live game commentary, or a real-life role forum rules introduction, in short, it was not like official military materials.
The information left by Zhang Yaojin seems to be explained thoroughly, but Jian Hua feels that there are more hidden things behind this report.
For example, based on his experience analysis, the first time he entered the abandoned world was the elevator of Huanyu Cinemas.
The overlap point for the second time is not the clinic, but the entire Huaicheng.
If the third time is his own conscious entry into the abandoned world, why is the overlap point so wide-ranging, and normally it should only include the part of his family? Since Jian Hua is going to destroy the evidence, his subconscious will not let more people interfere with his actions.
According to the written meaning of the document, if you want to live in peace, pray that you will not be unlucky enough to be at the overlapping point.
But Jian Hua was saddened to find that it seemed that his ability could open the way to that strange world on his ownβthe power was unknown, the scope of the envelope was unknown, and the consequences were unknown!
This series of unknowns was about to knock him unconscious.
Just watching a movie, coming back and the whole life is refreshed - the world is so unreliable, how can you live?
***
Major Zhang Yaojin, who had slept in the car for four hours, had his eyes closed when he received a call from Haicheng, and his voice was full of tiredness: "Hmm...... The two missing girls in Huanyu Cinema have clues? β
The chaotic and confused mind couldn't grasp the main point, and the other end of the phone had to slow down his tone:
"Yes, a floating body was found on the water near the Linjiang Bridge in Huaicheng, judging from the clothes on the deceased, it was one of the two missing girls, and the specific autopsy report will wait until the afternoon."
Zhang Yaojin ruthlessly. Jerturing. slapped his face twice, tugging at his hair to force himself to wake up.
He didn't say anything and hung up the phone in silence.
There were no victims in the Pearl Hotel explosion accident. According to the survey, the young college student on the street has changed his temperament in the recent period, and various behaviors show that he is a person who is ready to join this change.
Or is it called, the book wearer?
But the couple and the two missing female students in the elevator accident in Huanyu Cinema were all the same before they died, they were innocently involved, and they may not know what happened until they died.
What's even more terrifying is that soon this kind of thing will happen again, a crisis from the abandoned world, threatening not only the lives of normal people, but also the supernatural who have fallen into that world, and they must face a life-and-death choice - kill the monster and survive the attack, or die in the monster's mouth.
"Major, the report to the headquarters has been detained."
Zhang Yaojin's subordinates said cautiously: "There is news over there, saying that Senior Colonel Lu has not even finished reading the first page of the report, so he will scold you to the blood, Major, and will send you to a mental hospital." β
Touching a cigarette and lighting it, Zhang Yaojin chuckled: "I'm really not afraid of this." β
If the disaster occurs as scheduled, the withheld report will be transferred to the chief as soon as possible, who would dare to talk nonsense?
"How's Jian Hua over there?"
The people who sat in the same car with Zhang Yaojin were all his old subordinates and old comrades-in-arms, who usually didn't have a proper shape, but now everyone can't squeeze out a smile on their faces. In the morning, Zhang Yaojin came out of the house safely, and they were really relieved, and they didn't ask Major Zhang about the negotiation process with Jian Hua.
"Difficult!" Zhang Yaojin smoked a cigarette and lowered the window of the car to wake up the morning air.
There was a thick fog outside the window, and I couldn't see anything clearly on either side of the highway.
Zhang Yaojin recalled the person he saw a few hours ago, and said casually: "If this person is tied. Suicide offenders, or suicides preparing to jump off buildings, are definitely the most headache for negotiators. β
It's not that he doesn't listen to persuasion, but what others say, and he listens to it.
"Stubborn, vigilant, may be suspicious by nature......," Zhang Yaojin counted one by one, sighed and said, "You can't even tell him the truth in one breath, the facts are too ridiculous, and it is easy to cause counterproductive effects." β
"What the Major said, did he believe it?"
"No, it's just that he couldn't find a better explanation for what happened around him."
Zhang Yaojin rubbed his nose with his eyes with both hands to wake up, and said self-deprecatingly: "I can't complain about him, if it were me, I wouldn't believe it." β
With a sudden brake, everyone in the car subconsciously stabilized their figures, and then quickly touched their waists.
"What's going on?"
The driver's hand holding the steering wheel was shaking, and looking at the black shadow slowly emerging in the fog in front of him, he stiffened and asked, "What is the way to test the potential of the ability?" If we were all in the car, would it ...... Unknowingly into an overlapping point? β
Zhang Yaojin's eyes widened.
A huge tentacle shadow in the fog, less than twenty meters away from the car, crossed the highway and disappeared again into the white fog.
The person in the car held his breath and pulled out his hand. Guns, listening carefully to the movement outside.
"Whew...... Whoop......"
It was like a panting sound, and it was like something leaking.
Soon the strange sound was gone, and there was still a white fog all around.
Zhang Yaojin and his subordinates waited patiently for five minutes, beads of sweat pouring from their foreheads, and their highly tense muscles and nerves were tested. Finally they were sure that the monster had left.
"What's the matter, don't you say that monsters will appear next year?"
It's November, and the chat log says next spring.
Zhang Yao didn't care about studying this, he asked the driver: "Old Zhang, tell me what you just saw?" β
"When I saw a dark shadow in the fog, I stepped on the brakes......"
"It's not! As you just said, we entered the world of abandonment, how did you feel when you drove? β
The driver shook his head, the fog was so big, the highway was closed again, and at first some vehicles could be seen, but after entering this distance, they were the only ones driving. Although he drives very seriously and the road conditions are good and there are no bumps, people's eyes always have to blink, and God knows when something goes wrong with them.
"Keep going!" Zhang Yaojin patted him on the shoulder.
The crowd did not dare to sit and stared at the windows and the back of the car from all sides.
The jeep started again, slowly moving forward at a speed of 20 yards, and they did not see any more suspicious shadows. As they get off the highway, they confirm the bad news that they have entered the abandoned world-
There was a long queue of vehicles waiting in front of the highway toll booth, but not a single person could see it.
Zhang Yaojin leaned heavily on the seat, and his head began to ache faintly.
"Major, that's barely a good thing, at least we know what's going on in this world, doesn't it?"
Zhang Yaojin's subordinates are still very interested in becoming an anomaly.
"Did you bring anything to eat?" Major Zhang squinted.
