Chapter 7: Two Kinds of People
Yes.
He almost cried out. In the next second, he forcibly stuck his breath in his throat and didn't make a sound.
He turned his head to look at Little A.
Little A was also looking at him.
Looking at Xiao A's expression, he seemed to already know what Shen Ran had just seen. He shook his head lightly and motioned for Shen Ran not to speak.
What do you mean, could it be that Xiao A had expected what would happen, so he was so calm?
What about the others?
Shen Ran looked at the other people at the table, the candlelight was swaying, he could only vaguely see some of their side faces, everyone was burying their heads in eating, eating seriously.
The fingers he had just put into the bowl were from the dish.
The others should have caught it, and the others should have seen it, but no one made a sound.
Shen Ran felt an unprecedented danger and strangeness.
In this space where he was, it seemed that there were no special people like him.
Looking at the two fingers on the plate, it is impossible for a normal person to eat this thing, so who would eat so naturally and with relish.
He suddenly remembered the warning that Xiao A gave him before entering the door, "There are two kinds of people here. ”
Two kinds of people, people who can eat human flesh? What else?
Suddenly, a girl on the other side of the table made a sound, she lifted her chopsticks, and shouted, "Ah, this is not a chicken claw, this is a human hand!" ”
I saw that she was holding a piece of palm flesh with three fingers connected, which was half the size of a palm.
It is more obvious than the one that Shen Ran clamped before, it is human hands!
It turns out that not everyone here did not react to this and accepted it silently.
This girl is the same as him, maybe it's the first time I've been here, but I didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing.
Shen Ran thought about whether he should say something, but his clothes were pulled hard.
It's Little A. He looked at Shen Ran again and motioned for him not to speak.
Although Shen Ran couldn't fully understand, he somewhat understood what he meant by the two kinds of people.
At that moment, another man spoke.
It was a boy with a loud voice, and he smiled and said, "You read it wrong, Xiaoyu. That's a pig's hand, hahaha. Look how fat it is, hahaha......"
The middle-aged woman in the apron stood up, and she also smiled and played a round, "Maybe you are mistaken, I'll change this dish for you now." ”
As she spoke, she brought down the plate with the chicken feet in it.
The girl wanted to say something more, but when she saw everyone staring up at her in confusion, she wondered if she had read it wrong, so she stopped talking and began to eat again.
The meal ended in this atmosphere of silence.
After eating, everyone dispersed.
They went into groups of three or five into the rooms they shared with their companions, or in two or three of them.
Sure enough, no one went home, as if they had stayed there as a matter of course since the day they came to Little A's house.
Of course, he can't leave now, and Shen Ran won't take the initiative to leave until he understands this matter.
"You're going to live with me." Little A whispered to him again, and after speaking, he walked towards the stairs.
Shen Ran didn't hesitate much, turned his head and followed behind Xiao A.
He knew that there was something wrong with this house, and even more so with the people who lived in it, and he still had to go into his room to be safe.
When he entered the room with Xiao A and closed the door, his breath was relieved.
He had so many questions that he didn't know where to start.
"Something is going to happen tonight." Xiao A sat on the edge of the bed, and the split came to such a sentence.
He kept shaking his legs, apparently not as relaxed as he had been before eating.
"What's wrong?"
"That girl, Xiaoyu, she's going to have an accident."
"Why? What just happened? ”
Shen Ran felt that he should be able to explain it well now.
"I think you've seen it, as you can see, it's a human finger."
"Human ......" Although Shen Ran was very confident in his judgment, he was sure that what he saw would not be wrong, but when he heard this fact from Xiao A's mouth, he still felt like a fish in his throat and couldn't believe it.
"They killed?" Shen Ran asked.
"To put it simply. But not exactly. As I said, the group of people outside is divided into two kinds of people, one is the person who can eat people, and the other is the person who is eaten. ”
"The one who was eaten?" Shen Ran was surprised, could there still be people who were tied up and waiting to be eaten?
"People who are eaten, in general, do not know that they are going to be eaten. Just like that little jade. Xiao A sighed, "There are also some people who know that they may be eaten, just like me." ”
"You're going to be eaten?" So, Xiao A, like me, is he a normal person? Thinking like this, Shen Ran felt a little comforted in his heart.
"Well, judging by your reaction just now, you're just like me." Only then did Shen Ran realize that Xiao A had been observing himself all along. If he had eaten that finger calmly like everyone else just now, maybe he would have classified Shen Ran as the opposite of him and the group of people who ate people.
Next, Xiao A's words made Shen Ran's cold hair stand up.
"I should have been the first person to notice that something was wrong, and you can see that it's not normal here, and they won't leave when they come. They came to my house for all sorts of reasons, and rightfully so. And that's not even the scariest of all. The most abnormal part is that every month there are always a few people who suddenly disappear without saying goodbye, and when I ask them, where did those people go, did they go back? They always replied that they didn't remember the man.
I thought it was strange at first, but fortunately I didn't ask.
Because the other person who continued to ask questions later became the same person as them. ”
"Become like them?" Shen Ran thought he would say that the person who asked the question disappeared in the end.
"Hmm. Blended in with them, and although I don't know how they did it, I could clearly feel that he had changed, completely changed, inside and out. He no longer cared where the disappeared people went, and when he ate, he ate those strange things, and he was able to swallow them without hesitation.
I don't care where I came from, I don't care about the passage of time anymore, and the most important thing is his eyes, I can see that the kind of hollowness is not the eyes of normal people.
So I speculate that they divided us into two uses, one to eat and the other to assimilate them and become one of them, increasing their numbers.
I have summarized several characteristics of them, firstly, they are no different from us in appearance, and secondly, their behavioral logic is no different from us on the surface, and they will even disguise their true intentions and behave like normal people, so they are hidden.
It is because of this characteristic that they are also unable to completely distinguish between themselves and others.
So they still need to hide now, and once they find out the true identity of everyone, they will definitely eliminate the dissidents immediately, and my home will ...... then."
Shen Ran heard a heavy smell of blood from his words.
"So, both of you are testing each other to fight for the living space of your own kind."
"That's right. People who have lived here for a while and have not disappeared have probably seen a little clue, and everyone has slowly learned to hide and will not take the initiative to expose themselves. On the premise of not actively exposing ourselves, we also need to try to find the same kind as possible. ”
"It's up to who's faster."
"So lately they've been making more out-of-the-ordinary moves, like tonight, putting fingers in the dishes. But speaking of which, they used to make it rougher, and they were all large pieces of meat, and you can see at a glance that today they are finely cut......"
Shen Ran suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is it the kitchen person who wrote you the note?" ”
"Well, it's my parents. Whether it's a father or a mother, it's not fixed, and it's impossible to write the name on paper, so it's not good if it's discovered.
The note they gave me today was that there were two meats, ribs and chicken feet, which means that it was in these two dishes that could have gone wrong. So I haven't eaten it. ”
"Oh." An idea arose in Shen Ran's mind at this time, but he didn't blurt it out immediately, pondering how to say it would be better.
"Shhhhh A put his finger between his lips and made a silent motion.
Shen Ran stopped talking and listened carefully to the noise in the air.
Outside the door, in the hallway.
Someone walked out of the room and walked down the hallway with a tapping sound.
The footsteps passed through the doorway of Little A's room and headed to the right.
"It's Xiaoyu, she must be looking for Xiaoyu, her room is in that direction." Little A's tone became anxious.
"Are we going to help?"
At this time, Xiao A was silent, and there was a slight tremor in his words, "I can't help." We went out and were exposed. They are making such a big move to lure more people out, but once we get out, they will definitely wipe us out. ”
Did you just hide in your room and watch the girl get killed?
Shen Ran frowned slightly, and cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead.
"His face doesn't seem to be good." Lu Cheng stared at the computer monitor.
The computer is connected to a surveillance camera in the interrogation room. Through the screen, Lu Cheng could clearly see Shen Ran's side face.
The already bloodless skin now looked even paler, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead.
Xu Guangyuan also lowered his head and looked at the monitoring screen.
"There is a situation. Don't wait any longer, just prepare. Are you sure? This may also have an impact on your conscious stability. ”
"It was decided a long time ago. Am I not going to look for anyone, to you? ”
Lu Cheng's question made Xu Guangyuan stunned.
"Just kidding! Said I'll go, it's me. What now? ”
"I'm going to make a small incision in the back of your neck, and then I'm going to implant a chip in your body, and it's not complicated, and you may have slight discomfort, dizziness, or vomiting. You can also take it out later.
You still have a minute to think about it, are you really sure? ”
