Chapter 16: Day 4: Car Accident
When Wang Lele and Qi You and I rushed to the agreed place, that is, 38 Square, the time was 8:45 in the morning, and there were still fifteen minutes left before Wang Lele and the alien creature agreed to meet.
The road on the north side of 38 Square is very wide, and although the traffic volume is not large, the speed of the vehicle is much faster than that of other roads.
"Hey... Hello, I'm writer Wang Lele. Wang Lele dialed the man's mobile phone, "Where exactly do we meet?" β
Just as I pricked up my ears and wanted to listen to Wang Lele's conversation with that alien being, Qi You, who was beside me, suddenly turned his head as if he had a sense and looked behind him.
I subconsciously followed Qi You and shifted my gaze, and saw a man with a sloppy head and dress was standing on the opposite side of the street. But because the distance is a bit far, I can't see his specific expression clearly, but I saw him holding a mobile phone in his left hand and sticking it to his face, which seemed to be talking to someone.
"It's him." Qi You made a judgment through his special induction of alien lifeforms.
"Oh... Do you see me? What the...... You're right behind me? Wang Lele responded happily as he spoke, turned around, and looked at the alien creature with us.
At the moment, the street in front of us is at a red light. Although there are not many cars passing by, the speed is quite fast, and whenever a car passes in front of us, it carries the sound of "whooshing" wind breaking.
I don't know what I thought at the time, maybe it was too disgusted with the experience of the past few days, or maybe the psychological pressure of disposing of the alien form was too heavy, or maybe it was the dark side of my mind that was looming at work.
In short, I stared impatiently at the figure of this alien being, and secretly instigated with malice in my heart:
Walk forward, go, keep walking, it's a good destination to be hit by a car like this, it's better than I do it myself......
Who would have thought, the mutation suddenly happened in the next moment-
As if suddenly, the alien creature lost control of his body, and he lifted his legs mechanically and stiffly, and then took a step forward. From my point of view, it was like a transparent silk thread that wrapped around and lifted the joints of his body, making him move like a marionette and step forward.
To my right, to the left of the alien form, a black Lincoln jeep was speeding up.
There is no so-called "time suddenly slows down to a standstill, so that I can see every detail of the scene in front of me", not even waiting for my brain to complete the stress response to the mutation in front of me, not waiting for the sentence "Be careful!" in the mouths of Wang Lele and Qi You. With that, the alien creature slammed into the jeep that didn't have time to brake.
"Uhhh
The tires of the car were dragging on the asphalt road, showing dark blue marks.
"Bang ββ!"
The xenomorph's body was thrown off balance and into the air.
However, before those of us who witnessed the tragedy could express our horror, the situation in front of us changed drastically again - the alien creature that was knocked into the air by the car disappeared in the process of landing, leaving only an empty cloud of clothes slowly falling to the ground. The smartphone, which was on a call and had a bright light off the screen, also flew out more than ten meters due to inertia, and after landing on the ground, it rolled several times, and finally stopped in front of us by great coincidence.

WhyγHow did it come to this!?
This...
I...
Exactly, what the hell is going on.
My mouth was half open, and my brain was stimulated by the mutations that happened in front of me one after another, and I couldn't think for a while.
And the mobile phone parked in front of me still kept talking, as if there was an indistinguishable voice whispering in my ear: Why do you want to hurt me? Why do you want to hurt me, why do you ......
My eyes were wider than usual, my lips trembled slightly, my head buzzed, and I felt the scene in front of me spinning, and I lost my balance in a trance, and then fell to my knees on the ground in embarrassment.
"Uncle!" After Qi You noticed my abnormality, he immediately half-squatted down, leaned to my side, and said in a hurried tone: "What's wrong with you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Xiu Thorn, you speak!"
"I'm ......" I shook my head vigorously, trying to clear myself up a bit, "I'm fine... It's justβ" I don't know how to put it, because I don't know if this alien being's suicide has anything to do with me.
Perhaps, just by chance.
However, this is a bit too coincidental.
My brain is so messy.
"What about people? How did that person disappear!? β
It was only at this time, after I came back to my senses, that I noticed Wang Lele's trembling exclamation beside me.
"Xiu Thorn, did you see it? That guy was hit by him just now! And then...... And then he disappeared? Am I dazzled? β
"How is this possible? Is it a trick? β
Wang Lele was talking to himself while running quickly to the scene of the car accident.
"Lele!" I called him.
But Wang Lele continued to move forward without looking back.
I watched from afar, far away, as Wang Lele and the owner of the Lincoln jeep were gesturing to each other in an exaggerated manner, of course they were communicating in words, but it was too noisy for me to hear clearly, and I could only see Wang Lele's mouth opening and closing rapidly.
With Qi You's support, I stood up straight.
Wang Lele and the owner of the jeep were gathering in front of the pile of clothes left by the alien lifeforms, and they didn't know what they were discussing.
Later, we were called to the police station by the police to make a record, because the deceased's mobile phone communication records were full of Wang Lele's mobile phone number.
The police did not suspect us, it was just a routine matter, because the surveillance video of the traffic team completely confirmed our innocence.
But, is it really innocent?
β¦β¦ I do not know.
As for the accident, more attention is paid to the dead who disappeared - the alien living being who died in the car accident.
This is a mysterious incident that happened in public, and in this bland, fast-paced social atmosphere, it was quickly spread by people, and various versions of rumors and speculations were born.
β¦β¦
After I walked out of the police station, I still couldn't let go of it.
Wang Lele is the same, he seems to be asking me and Qi You, and he seems to be asking himself: "How can a big living person disappear?" Even if you die, there should be a corpse left. β
"How is it like the plot in a supernatural immortal novel, the body is destroyed and the soul escapes? But his body is just gone! β
"It's not an urban legend, it's happening right in front of our eyes!"
I sighed, raised my hand and pressed his shoulder, interrupting him: "Don't think about it so much yet, let's go eat first, and then think slowly." β
"Repair thorns, I'...... Some scared. β
"Afraid of what?" I could feel from the palm of Wang Lele's shoulder, which was in contact with his shoulder, that his body was trembling slightly.
"I always felt that the man was not human, and I wondered if he was referring to this by 'new life'...... If yes, then it's nerve-wracking. Speaking of this, Wang Lele looked at me with a smile and smiled very reluctantly, "I'm afraid that we, who have the same experience as him, have actually had the same changes as him." β
"I'm afraid, we're no longer human."
