It didn't take long for us to find the two landmark points of Yanfu Road and the statue of the eagle, and after resting against the statue for a while, we heard the sound of Big Ben nearby. It happened to ring eleven o'clock, and the time in the book world was eleven o'clock in the evening, and about an hour had passed since I entered the book world, and I could only hope that the time difference between the book world and the real world would allow us to have a relatively legitimate reason to convince our parents after we went out.

"Xiaobai, is the time in this world the same as in the real world?"

"No, there is a certain time difference between the two worlds, maybe the past few hours in the book world have only a few minutes in the real world"

The last time I was dragged into a mirror illusion by someone on the way out of school, it was obvious from the scene that it was the "author" who had the same "Twilight Bookmark" as me, and created a different space to trap the enemy. Before entering the other space, the bus was about to arrive, and when I got out, the previous bus had already left, and it was another bus that arrived, and the time gap between the bus departures during the day was about five minutes, but I felt that a long time had passed in the mirror illusion, and through this incident I was convinced that there was a time difference between the two worlds.

"That's good, I thought I couldn't explain it at home."

"Drill, do you regret it? I'm the one who got you into the danger."

"Why regret it? Let's just play a live-action version of the escape room, who made us friends" The drill flicked his arm, moved in place for a while, and then "resurrected with blood on the spot", and walked forward full of fighting spirit.

"I've never seen you so aggressive, except for model making."

"I won't slack off on saving people."

"Not afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Don't be afraid"

"Really? It's a stupid style."

"Aren't you too" We would smile, touch each other's fists, and stride forward.

"Well, drill, do you know which direction the east is?"

"This, I can't tell the difference" The two of us were stunned in the middle of the east and west intersections.

"Use your mobile phone, Xiaobai, I have the software 'Compass' on my mobile phone." Seeing that he shook his mobile phone around the word "8" and calibrated the "compass", the "compass" software officially worked, pointing to the direction of "east" on the left-hand side.

As Wen Chen said, after walking a few steps to the east, he saw the research institute established on the side of the road.

The bamboo basket hanging outside the institute is decorated with a string of red balls, which is a string of red fruits for a red-billed blue magpie, and when we arrived, we saw it pulling one of the red balls, and the whole basket swayed from side to side with the red ball.

"Pop" A metallic object fell out of the gap in the basket, and I stepped forward to see that it was a key.

"Is it the one who opened the door? It seems that Wen Chen didn't tell us how to solve the problem of the door lock."

"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? If it weren't for the bird, we might have to go back and ask him how to open the door."

"I wonder if this key can open the door" I tentatively twisted the key into the hole in the lock, "click", and with a crisp sound, the lock opened.

I'm completely convinced, "How lucky it would be if I could play a game for ten consecutive draws"

The "Think Beautiful" drill took the lock off and placed it in the basket.

When the door was closed, I saw that the red-billed blue magpie had managed to pull off a red ball and fly away.

Why is there always a faint uneasiness in my heart?

The corridor in the research institute was dark, but the switch was easy to find, and when the lights in the corridor were turned on, we felt a little safe, as if all threats had been killed without a trace under the bright light.

We walked and observed the name on the door number of each office, the research scope of this institute is genetic engineering, which belongs to the core technology in bioengineering, although genetic engineering can use recombinant technology to transfer and replicate molecules in a directional manner, establish new transgenic strains needed by society or make genetic drugs based on deciphering gene sequences and functions to cure stubborn diseases, but with the development of the scientific community, this potentially dangerous technology is very likely to be used in biological warfare.

"What is the worldview in your work? I found a question, why are there two very different neighborhoods in this world? And the architectural style of a block is uniform, and there is no phenomenon of staggered coexistence"

"And '癸' is also very strange, he can drive, but his dress is clearly an ancient clothing style"

"There are two major regions in this world, one is a modern area with developed science and technology but no alien ability per capita, and the other is a traditional area with backward technology but strong alien ability per capita, the two regions are one at the beginning, because of some complex factors, the gap between the two regions is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it becomes what it is now, but even in the most modern areas there are the oldest facilities that are still in use, and even in the oldest areas there are the most modern and still in use facilities"

"Didn't the two people we met have supernatural abilities?"

"The two of them are migrated, looking at Wen Chen's outfit, you think he will take out a gun at any time, but in fact, he can't use it, he can only use a sword"

"There is also a premise that people in both regions generally have a high level of cultural education."

"You're saying there could be a war between them? The purpose of this institute is not going to be..."

The "Resident Evil" in the movie immediately came to mind, and the brisk pace slowed down because of this, and every step was very calm, and with each step, there would be an echo of footsteps in the empty corridor, and even the lights above him dimmed.

"'癸' doesn't belong to my character, I don't know who his 'author' is, such a person of unknown origin suddenly broke into my book and attacked us, I really suspect that he has an underground deal with Wen Chen, the wall-top grass."

I swallowed, suppressed my cranky thoughts, and grabbed Ah Jue's two hands tighter, for fear that something would grab him away.

Even if there is hell ahead, I have to jump in and break through, and if I had the courage to take that step, he would not have left.

A vague shadow turned its head and waved at me.

"You've been carrying it long enough, come with me" The drill's words shattered my illusions, and the blurred figure turned into tiny grains of sand that flowed between my fingers.

I didn't react for a while, "Oh oh, okay"

We walked all the way to the end of the corridor before we saw the office with the name "Wenchen" on it, the office was unlocked, and we could enter by pushing the door open. There was nothing on the most conspicuous desk but a thick stack of papers and a drinking glass. The windowsill, the sofa, and all the places in the office that we could think of to put things were searched, but there was no medicine in the shape of a rectangular cube.

Could it be that he is mistaken? Xiaobai, did you find it? ”

"No, shall we go to another unlocked room?"

The office search was fruitless, and we were a little depressed, so I went around and searched again, but I still couldn't find it, so I had to close the door after restoring the office.

When I went out, the drill bit and Ah Jue were gone, and I thought that "Gui" was making trouble again, which scared my nerves instantly, and I bumped into the corridor like a headless fly.

"Xiaobai—haven't you arrived yet?" The sound of a drill came from a room not far from Wen Chen's office, it turned out to be a false alarm, and the pounding heart returned to normal.

"Coming, coming," I followed his voice, and it was a laboratory, with two rows of operating tables in the middle, various test instruments placed on the shelves, and many glass tanks on the display cabinets in the corners, which contained all kinds of specimens, and a separate operating table in front of it. This room is like a classroom for the instructor to teach the interns.

As soon as I entered, I heard the sneezing of the drill bit, "Ahh No, this scene is too funny, you must hold it or you will be beaten to death.

"Flutter" However, I still failed to hold back my laughter and laughed so loudly.

The drill bit grabbed the snot in one hand and scolded angrily: "Laugh at you bubble pot, the smell of this place is too strong, can't I be allergic?" ”

"Where's your tissue?"

"I don't know where I fell on the way to run, do you have a tissue?"

"No," I said, and suddenly remembered that Ren Mo had said that by writing the name of the person you want to summon on the bookmark, you can summon that character, and let Ren Mo run an errand?

I wrote the words "Ren Wei" on the bookmark, but unfortunately the person did not come out, but a purple vortex appeared on the bookmark, and Ren Wei's voice came out.

"Is there anything you want me to do? I'm sorry, I'm repairing the door, and I forgot to tell you that when the 'character' uses a strange ability, the 'author' can't be forced to summon through bookmarks."

"It's nothing, mainly... Would like to borrow some tissues."

A long sigh came from the other side of the bookmark, "The bookmark is also equivalent to the use of 'portal', this time I should teach you a little bit how to use the 'Twilight Bookmark'." As soon as he finished speaking, a pack of tissues was thrown over, plus a plum dart.

"By the way, that plum dart is for your self-defense, and the bookmark can be turned directly into the weapon you need, but you just know how to use the functions of 'summoning' and 'teleporting', and when you are proficient in using both functions, the bookmark will change color, and then you will be able to use the new function."

"Thank you for the guidance, then I won't bother you to repair the door" After the command is completed, the "teleport" function will automatically fail, and the purple vortex will disappear.

"Here, your tissue, she gave me a plum dart for self-defense"

"How does it feel like the two of us are being coached by newbies"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and wipe your snot, I'll go to the front to find it, you go to the back to find it, it's more efficient to separate" I was in a hurry to find medicine, I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, every minute of delay Ah Jue would be more dangerous, so far, he has not had any premonition of waking up.

I don't know if God saw our efforts, I actually saw the medicine I had been looking for on the test bench. It was undoubtedly gratifying, and in addition to the accidental discovery of the drug, I also found something surprising under the test bench, no, people.

Ah Jue, who was unconscious, curled up under the test bench. An eerie gust of wind hit the back of my neck, my whole body trembling uncontrollably, and my heart beating like a mad fawn.

How can it be? How is this possible? It's even more supernatural than a horror movie, if this is the real Ah Jue, who is the drill on his back?

Suddenly, the overhead lamp shook violently, the wire connecting the lamp and the ceiling was forcibly torn off by an unknown force, the lamp tube fell straight down and fell into two, the glass slag scattered everywhere, and the two rows of operating tables floated to the air, and suddenly they were cut to pieces by the flash like a random knife, and the remnants of the operating table collided with various experimental equipment in mid-air, and the remnants of the glass equipment ** platform were hit and burst, and the unknown liquid contained in it was mixed together and sprinkled on the ground, igniting sparks.

"You're really careless."

The wreckage of the flying console and the fragments of the burst glass equipment fell to the ground with a "clatter", and the dust cleared, and I saw a situation that I didn't want to see.

Surrounded by black gas, "Ah Jue" held a knife on the neck of the drill bit, and the hands of the drill bit were clamped behind him and could not move.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't be so nervous, I just wanted to surprise you, no, your friend is right in front of you under the test bench"

"What a surprise, it's obviously a fright! What are you capable of taking hostages? I kicked the debris off my feet and stepped to the back of the lab.

"My target from the beginning was you, and I was thinking of finding an opportunity to kill you directly, but I changed my mind, isn't it more fun to change the limit for one?" The blade had already touched the neck of the drill bit, and it was just a hard stroke.

I was less than five meters away from "Ah Jue" in a straight line, and my friend was kidnapped in his hands, and the scene was similar to that of two years ago, if only I could muster up the courage to rush out, as long as I shouted, it wouldn't have happened later, but the grandmother at the convenience store was still threatened by them.

How could I possibly do such a thing? It's all because I'm too weak to be like this, it's all because I'm too withdrawn to be like this, it's all my fault for it.

What to do, what to do, what should I do? Do you want to watch what happened two years ago happen again? No, it's not like two years ago, it's "one for one" and not "one for two".

"Didn't you come at me? I don't know how I offended you, since things have come to this point, since you have to change one for one, come, come here"

The other "I" untied the mess of threads in front of me and handed me the lantern, which was hot, but I knew that at least I had to keep the light bright.

I pointed to my neck and tilted my head, "If you really want to do it, I'll come over directly, I'm afraid it's not cowardice?" In order to achieve a more realistic effect, I spoke in an extremely arrogant tone, and used the "agitation method" to stimulate him, and soon the knife will come at me.
