Chapter 13: edge

I immediately stared at Zhang Hui's hand.

The night was dark, and I felt that the sleeves of his jacket were a little long, and I couldn't see his two hands.

I instinctively took two steps back and distanced myself from him.

How did scientist Pengamu disappear in 1980? He just went out to get water and never came back.

In 2001, how did the team member surnamed Wang, who was looking for the potash mine, disappear? At that time, the other truck did not follow, and it seemed that it broke down halfway, and he went back to look for it along the way it came, and there was no news from him since.

In 2009, how did the Uighur driver Kasim go missing? He just left everyone alone, went around the neighborhood, and never returned......

If Zhang Hui suddenly showed his knife, stabbed me to death, and buried me in the sand, then I would also be missing.

Wherever humans live, the killer kills someone, and the body cannot be disposed of, and no matter where it is hidden, sooner or later it will be discovered. The Gobi Desert is different, there are nameless bones everywhere, and no one has checked them.

Moreover, regardless of whether it is in the city or in the countryside, if a person disappears for no reason, the public security will definitely file a case for investigation, and the case will not be closed if the murderer is not caught.

However, this is a vast no-man's land, and it is not uncommon for a person to go missing, even if a helicopter is sent to rescue him, he will not see a person, so he will return......

I whispered, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

He said, "I'm a little excited, I can't sleep, I want to talk to you about something......"

I whispered, "You say." ”

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Don't look at me as a policeman, in fact, I have not been a brave person since I was a child, and I don't even dare to walk alone at night, I have been looking for opportunities to exercise my guts and courage." ”

I didn't speak.

He continued: "When I was in junior high school, I had heard about Lop Nur, and I was scared and longed for it...... Boss Zhou, I know you don't trust me, and now, I came to you to communicate face-to-face, and saying these words in my heart is actually my progress. ”

I still don't speak.

He continued: "I know that the reason why you don't trust me is because I don't have an ID. Boss Zhou, we are here in a no-man's land, not to see the military parade. The ID card is just a proof of who we are as social beings, and for Lop Nur, we are just 11 living creatures. ”

It was too dark.

I don't want to talk to him anymore.

I said coldly, "Go to sleep, we have to go tomorrow." ”

He was stunned and said, "...... Good. ”

I didn't move.

He confronted me for a while, then retreated down the hill and headed for the tent.

I'm just taking a step.

He stopped suddenly, turned his head and said, "Boss Zhou, my satchel is still in your tent." ”

I said, "I'm sleeping, come back tomorrow morning and get it." ”

He said, "That'...... I'll get it again tomorrow morning. ”

I watched him get into the tent and then went back to my tent.

Sure enough, Juice had already slept.

I fumbled into the darkness to plug the metal bolt in the curtain, then carefully slipped around my guitar and into my sleeping bag.

I couldn't sleep, and in the wind of wolf crying and howling, I thought back to the video I had just made.

Since the beginning of the fight, the atmosphere of those four people has been a little dull, without the tension and excitement of the adventurers. After reaching the center of the lake in Lop Nur, they were still calm, as if they had come to Lop Nur to accomplish something......

After analyzing it for a long time, I had no clue.

Then, I began to ponder each of Zhang Hui's words.

He seemed sincere.

If he is really a fake policeman, then this person's scheming is unfathomable. He had dealt with the police for many years in prison and had a strong ability to disguise, and I was not a police officer and could not be his opponent......

Thinking about it, I finally fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, I was awakened by a shrill voice: "Smack! ——”

No, it's two.

The first sound woke me up, and then I heard again: "Smack!" ——”

The voice was right in my ears.

I scrambled to my feet, felt for the emergency light, and turned it on.

Pulp woke up, she curled up in her sleeping bag, revealing only a round face, like a baby: "What's wrong! ”

I looked at the guitar - two strings were broken.

Anyone who plays the guitar knows that there are six strings on the guitar, which are: E string, A string, D string, G string, B string, E string.

It was the A string and the B string that broke.

This was another strange thing that happened to me on this trip.

I said, "The guitar string is broken, I'm sorry......"

She muttered, "I thought it would only make music, but I didn't expect it to make noise!" Then he turned over and went back to sleep.

I turned off the emergency lights and the tent was plunged into darkness again.

I listened carefully to the snort of the pulp, but she didn't make any sound, and I couldn't tell if she was asleep or not.

My guitar has been with me for more than a decade and has never broken a string. And these six strings were all newly replaced before departure, how could they suddenly break?

Moreover, if one string is broken, it is accidental, but on the night before entering Lop Nur, almost at the same time, two strings were broken in succession! It's incomprehensible.

I didn't want to think about it anymore, I closed my eyes and wanted to fall asleep quickly.

The wind didn't stop and whirring, and I was afraid that it would lift the whole tent into the air, just like in "Flying House Travel".

That night, I slept extremely badly.

I don't know how long it took, but I woke up again.

It was dark all around.

Are all the tents safe?

I pricked up my ears and listened diagonally to the other side, which was the tent where Xu Ergo, Wai, and Zhang Hui were sleeping.

The sound of the wind filled my ears.

As I listened, I suddenly felt that there was another sound hidden in the wind, very weak.

The wind is so loud, how can I hear such a faint voice? I immediately realized that this thin voice was right in front of me!

It was the sound of the juice's breathing.

Then I saw a dark shadow sitting across from me, a foot away at most.

I shuddered: "Pulp ......"

The dark shadow seemed to retreat slightly, finally disappearing into the darkness.

I'm not sure if I'm dazzled. When a person is in the dark, he often imagines something and sees something vaguely, but in fact it is completely an illusion.

If it was pulp, why did she crawl out of her sleeping bag in the middle of the night and sit in the dark staring at me?

She wants to be with me**?

No matter how sentimental I am, I won't be so stupid.

I turned my body to her, trying to widen my eyes, still unable to see anything.

My mind slowly returned to the guitar, was there something the heavens were suggesting to me?

Inexplicably broke two strings......

There are four strings left......

E strings, D strings, G strings, E strings......

e，d，g，e……

Four letters.

Four letters!

In English, edge is a sharp blade!

It occurred to me that Zhang Hui's satchel had fallen into my tent, and perhaps there was a pig-killing knife hidden in it.

I gently crawled out of my sleeping bag and fumbled around, finally touching his satchel, which was heavy. I put my hand in and felt a lot of miscellaneous things, and at the bottom of the satchel, I really felt a knife, so sharp that it almost cut my hand!

He's carrying a short knife!

In Korla, when I offered to buy a knife, he didn't mention his knife.

A policeman may go out with a gun, with handcuffs, but not with a knife!

Who is he?

I slowly retracted my hand, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong, and I felt a bush of fluffy things outside my satchel, which was embroidered flowers.

I was wrong, this is a juicy satchel!
