Chapter 40: Egg Marking
"What the hell is this?"
The map was constantly changing shape, but it seemed to be stabilizing, and when everything was completely still, I realized that I was right, it was actually a map of the world.
It's just that on top of this map, there are dense particles.
I leaned closer to see what they were, and at that moment my eyes seemed to have undergone a change, even though the light was dim, even though I was exhausted, but my vision was so clear that I could see the tiny things again.
The dense particles kept magnifying in my eyes.
Is that......
Insect!
It's eggs that expand and contract in translucent egg shells, and they're all over the map!
"What does this mean?" I looked blankly at everything on the map, but my hand subconsciously reached for it, touching it gently.
In an instant, the map quickly changed its structure, and the map rearranged, as if the location I had touched was magnified, and the eggs became larger. Compared to previous large-area maps, this is now much more accurate.
I touched it again, and the map was zoomed in again.
I also saw the eggs more clearly.
"What exactly does it mean, some kind of mark? So, if you land at a certain point on this map, is that place being marked? There, are there eggs? Or worms? What the hell will it be......" I guessed.
Suddenly!
One of the eggs exploded in front of my eyes, and the slime covered an area of the map, and I was curious to magnify the area.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, the location of that area is in Southeast Asia, Latin America!
Continue to zoom in, you can see the specific location in the southwest of the country, zoom in again, you can see the decomposition between the cities, and the blasted insect eggs are in a certain decomposition.
Yao Qianwen mentioned the name of a woman, and she said, if I am lucky enough to leave this dungeon cave, that woman may be able to help me unravel the insect poison on my body.
She seems to be called ......
It's called Du Youlan.
Du Youlan in the country of Ra.
Latin America, a country in Southeast Asia, is not developed, and because it is backward, it believes in witchcraft extremely.
Witchcraft?
What is the connection between Gu and insects?
I frantically imagined that, in the end, the illusory image of Du Youlan would coincide with Mina.
Yao Qianwen, a mysterious girl, she recognizes Mina and calls Mina a mermaid, of course, this may have something to do with Mina's nickname on social software. But is there such a possibility, Du Youlan, Yao Qianwen and Mina, the three of them, know each other, and there is a story between them that I don't know.
My intuition tells me that Mina's anomaly didn't start with entering this mountain of ink.
How did she get information about the mountain until then? What was the purpose of her gathering fourteen people to complete the parasitic ritual?
Guan Hao is to save his lover.
What about Mina?
I always felt that the fourteen insect kings were in my body. Is that what Mina is for?
"But......" I sighed, pressing my hand on the map, "but I am afraid I can't even get out of here now." ”
In the hallucination, Mina's guidance didn't deceive me, and there were clues related to the part of my memory that I had lost, and yet, I still couldn't find it.
Maybe something is just meant to be. I am a person who does not want to believe in luck, I have also had the experience of divination in the past, they say, I am a very unlucky person, I will not be lucky in my life. But I don't think it's a big deal, in that case, it's good not to rely on luck, and with real hard work, I will eventually get everything I want.
But now, for the first time, I'm looking forward to being lucky for once.
I want to get out of here, I want to find her.
Click!
The sound of the mechanism echoed in my ears, and my hand felt a vibration, it was the map, and after I touched it for about ten seconds, it quickly changed its layout, but this time, instead of continuing to zoom in on the map, it was not returning to its previous appearance, but shrinking. Eventually, it becomes a palm-sized ball.
Falls to the ground.
I leaned down and instinctively tried to pick up the ball, but then it suddenly fell into darkness! I'm in it with the ball!
It's the ground, split in two from the middle!
My body fell into a downward spiral tunnel, stumbling and tumbling, and I fell into a coma due to the exhaustion that I had been exhausted from before and finally found it difficult to maintain my mental sobriety.
I don't know how long this coma lasted, but when I opened my eyes again, the man was already in the woods. There was a half-cliff around it, and there was a cave on it, and that seemed to be where I had fallen.
At the moment, my whole body ached, as if I had been disassembled and reassembled.
I rolled my body, facing upwards, and the sunlight filtered through the dense foliage overhead and fell on my face, warm and soft, and it felt very real and very comfortable.
"Hahaha......"
"I escaped death, I really, luckily once."
I clenched my fists, but I found something in the palm of my hand, and when I saw it, it was actually the round ball taken out of the dungeon, the trap map.
"Strange, hallucinations and that kind of thing, there must be a foundation. I must have been here before, and knew there was something under the tower, which is why I saw that vision and looked for it. So, since I subconsciously want this thing, why don't I take it with me the first time I come here? Or was it that I only knew there seemed to be something down there, but I couldn't confirm it? Mina, what exactly have you done to me, and what do you want me to do? ”
Hold on to the ball, I know I'm not done yet.
Since Moshan didn't trap me to death, and I found a new clue, then I must uncover the truth of everything if I survive.

Eggs
Du Youlan in the country of Ra.
I'm going to find the woman.
But before that, there are a few other things that I need to deal with. Cheng Haidong is stupid, the responsibility for this matter lies with me, I can't let him go, and he seems to remember something at the last moment. I need to find him first. All the way down the mountain, I was cautious, worried about encountering the monster again, but perhaps because of the daylight, the road was uneventful.
It's just that when I came to the bottom of the mountain, I found that Cheng Haidong's cousin's family had disappeared.
I've been waiting here for three days, and I haven't met anyone back here.
All this has become a mystery again.
I can't keep waiting, it's just a waste of time. Fortunately, there is another clue at present, that is, Yao Qianwen. If she makes it down the mountain, she should be back in Ben Thanh. According to the information I knew about Yao Qianwen, she was still studying and was a student at a university in Bencheng.
This information should be easy to check.
So, I quietly returned to Ben Thanh. Because of the previous incident, I have not cleared my suspicion, so I still have to hide my identity for now. But I have a lot of friends, and someone can help me investigate the name Yao Qianwen.
It's not a special name, but it's not ordinary, and it's not the kind of rotten street.
So fortunately, in the whole Ben Thanh, there are only eighteen people with the same names recorded.
My friend briefly provided me with the information of these eighteen people, but to my disappointment, none of them were Yao Qianwen as I imagined.
"Strange, did the girl give me fake information?" I was in a small restaurant, wearing a black hooded jacket that covered most of my head, so that it was difficult to be recognized by video surveillance or possible acquaintances passing by. I had a newly bought phone in my hand and had just received a message from a friend.
Subsequently, a message was received.
It's my friend.
Shao Zun: I have already given you the information, and I am willing to believe it. So, in exchange, you should share some of your experiences with me, right?
Shao Zun, an old friend of mine, about three years ago, we worked together for a few months, and we can talk about it, but he was later transferred, and it is not clear what department he entered in. But he is a man who has a great interest in anything mysterious. He was also very concerned about the previous thirteen corpse cases. And, to my comfort, he was willing to believe me.
So, I narrated a part of it to him, including Mina's authenticity, the parasitism of insects, and the relief of the ritual.
But I didn't mention Du Youlan.
I don't know why, but my gut tells me that the woman may be more dangerous than Moshan.
I'd rather Shao Zun go to Moshan to explore curiously, than for him to go to Laguo because of the information he got from Du Youlan. I don't like to be in trouble with others because of my actions.
Although, I seem to do it a lot.
At this time, Shao Zun replied to me on social software: The story is good, I am curious.
Me: But I advise you to put away your curiosity.
Shao Zun: Don't worry, I only do what I am sure of. I don't have your obsession with having to get your memories back. Stay in touch and I would like to continue to hear your story.
Me: Of course, I should still need your help.
Shao Zun: If necessary, just ask. But next time change the number. Oh yes, Chen Sen is looking for you, it seems that there is some mysterious content on the forensic doctor's side, and you have recently found a way to meet with him. Of course, I don't guarantee that he will arrest you.
Chen Sen, want to see me?
Putting my phone down, I looked out the window at the darkening sky.
What the hell is going on on the medical examiner's side?
Perhaps intuitively, the image of a dried corpse flashed through my mind, the basement I had found, the fourteenth of thirteen corpses.
Will it be it?
Was the corpse discovered by accident, or is there a connection with these thirteen corpses that I don't know yet? Otherwise, I can't think of why those thirteen people would choose to concentrate on molting in that old western-style building.
I need to see Chen Sen.
So, that night, I returned to the vicinity of my former home.
I didn't go upstairs, but surreptitiously observed in the neighborhood. Although many days have passed, according to what I know about Chen Sen, if he really wants to see me, then he will definitely not give up this area of my residence easily.
He knew me, even made me feel better than I did.
I spotted a strange car, and I guess it was probably him. I quietly approached, the co-pilot's position, the window was open, and from the rearview mirror, I saw half of Chen Sen's face with a cigarette in his mouth.

He is a brother who has been my partner for seven or eight years.
