The three of them chatted for a while, and suddenly stopped talking with a tacit understanding.

It was quiet in the house, and it was quiet near the hostel, except for the "click" of the watch on Uncle Mao's wrist, reminding us that the watcher could appear at any time.

It's 10 o'clock......

It's 11 o'clock......

It's 12 o'clock......

I couldn't help but ask Xiang Maodu, "Is there any movement yet?" ”

"Nope." Mao Du said: "It seems a little strange today, why haven't the monitors appeared. ”

"Could it be that they won't come tonight?" I said, "I remember during the day, they showed up, too. Maybe they'll come back tomorrow during the day? ”

"I don't rule it out." Xiao Feng said: "But I don't know why, I have a very strong intuition - they will definitely come tonight!" ”

"Wait!" Mao Du said: "I've been waiting for so long, I don't care about waiting a little longer." ”

"But that's not right!" I said, "I feel like the three of us are fools." At this point, are those watchers coming to spy on other people's sleeping and unstable? ”

"Sleep?" Xiao Feng suddenly raised his head and looked at me as if he suddenly remembered something: "Yes! Right! Maybe they're just there to watch those people sleep? ”

"How?"

"When people are sleeping, it is the time when the memory is the loosest, and it is also the time when it is most easy to invade the memory." Xiao Feng said: "Since it wasn't midnight when those watchers appeared, I instinctively thought that they were there to spy on the target's movements - what if they were here to spy on the target's memories when they were asleep?" ”

"Speaking of which, I really think last night, when I fell asleep, it was like someone was next to me." I said, "Then when I got up, I had a terrible headache." ”

"That's right!" Xiao Feng said: "So, the monitors haven't appeared at this time, maybe it's because—"

"The target hasn't fallen asleep yet!" Mao Du answered.

"If that's the case - we'll be sure that the watchers aren't targeting us." Xiao Feng said: "The few times they appeared, we didn't sleep. ”

"I remember they showed up during the day, aren't they ......?"

"The subject fell asleep during the day, or was knocked unconscious."

"You've got a big brain...... I pouted, noncommittal.

After more than an hour, just when we couldn't bear it anymore and were about to fall asleep, Uncle Mao suddenly had a stirring spirit and said in a low voice: "It's coming!" The window is located at four o'clock, about five meters away! ”

"But strangely, there is no one at all!" My third hand hovered around the destination for a long time, and I didn't even notice a figure.

"Uncle Mao, are you perceiving it wrong?"

"You can't go wrong!" Mao Du said eagerly: "They are still there!" Nothing has changed in the location! ”

"But there's no one at all!"

"Wait for me to go out and see!" Uncle Mao said, his body turned into a cloud of smoke, floated out of the window, and then floated back into the house: "It's true that I can't see people, but my perception is very clear, and it's definitely in that location!" ”

"Wait, I'll get closer and find out after I'm atomized!" After Uncle Mao said this, he floated out of the window again and floated down.

However, we were shocked by what happened.

"Oops!" Outside the window, there was the shouting of Mao Du, and then the sound of "crackling" was endless. The sound sounded quite rhythmic, as if someone was pounding on something dullly.

"Why are they here?" Xiao Feng and I looked at each other, both with incredible expressions on their faces—could it be that the watchers were just stupid about them?

No, it won't. I immediately dismissed my guess that they weren't four people.

"Do you want to go down and help Uncle Mao?" I asked Xiang Xiaofengdao.

"Don't do it." Xiaofeng touched his "pig's head" and said, "It seems that it is useless for us to go, we will be beaten like this, it is better to save our strength." ”

"That's what I thought too......"

After a while, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Could it be that the boss is coming up?" I said to myself, "Are we making too much of a show or too much of a show?" ”

"Pull it down. Go and open the door, it must be Uncle Mao. Xiao Feng said: "I was beaten by them, and my brain power must have failed temporarily, and Uncle Mao couldn't float." ”

"Oh! Oh! "I walked to the door, opened the door, and found two people standing outside the door. One is Uncle Mao, who has been beaten into a pig's head, and the other is a sturdy innkeeper.

"How did you guys do it, why are you still fighting outside in the middle of the night?" The boss scolded, "And the two of you, don't you know how to go down to help your friends?" Let him be beaten like this. ”

However, although the boss had a strange expression, I could still see the boss's tightly suppressed smile through the boss's questioning tone.

"Ahh I'm really sorry to bother the boss. We'll take care of him! Xiaofeng and I thanked the boss again and again, helped Uncle Mao into the house, and closed the door.

"Uncle Mao, are you okay?" Xiaofeng said with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Uncle Mao waved his hand and said, "What time is this?" ”

"It's the fourth meal, it's time for supper......"

"I asked, how many beatings had I ever been beaten?"

"The third ....."

"Sooner or later, I'll beat him back!" Uncle Mao's rhetoric is surprisingly consistent with Xiaofeng.

"Uncle Mao, I support you, let's beat it back together!" Xiao Feng touched his face, seemed to think of the scene of his beating again, and said indignantly.

"But it's okay, although I was beaten, but I already seem to know what happened to those watchers!" Uncle Mao said.

"How the hell did they hide? Could it really be invisible? Why can you perceive it but not see it at all? Xiaofeng asked impatiently.

"They won't be invisible, but we really can't see them." Uncle Mao spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "They are too small!" ”

"What!?" Xiaofeng and I looked at Mao Du with shocked faces: "Could it be the extreme clone of the godsend?" ”

"No, how could it be." Mao Du said: "If it is the doppelganger of the God-given person, no matter how small he is, he is also a God-given person." It's impossible for a little wind not to smell the stench, right? Not to mention four. ”

"That's right."

"It's four flies." Mao Du said slowly.

"Flies? How is this possible! I wondered, "It's winter!" ”

"Believe me, it's indeed flies. I saw it very clearly. "I wasn't sure at first. Because this result is too unbelievable. But just as I was being discovered by the Dumb Buggy, the four flies fell and died. At the same time, my perception of the Watcher vanished. So, I deduce, those four flies are the watchers! ”

"It's not impossible for a fly to become a watchdog." Xiao Feng said: "Don't forget, this is a village where animals are anthropomorphic. ”

"That's right." Mao Du continued: "I'll just tell you why Xiaofeng's skin sense can't sense the watcher - these flies have never had direct or indirect contact with the hostel at all, and have been suspended in the air, so there is a situation where the atomized cells that I melt into the air can perceive, but Xiaofeng can't. ”

"But Uncle Mao, even if the fly is a watcher, how do you perceive the fly as a human being, this is the key to misleading us." I said.

"It's not that I perceive them as people, it's that they may be people themselves." Mao Du said: "After my atomized cells are integrated into the air, what they perceive is not the air vibration caused by the action of the living thing, but the influence of the living thing's brain waves on the surrounding electromagnetic field. Human brain waves cause some special changes in the electromagnetic field around them, which is why I mistake them for people. ”

"That is, on the surface, they are flies; Are they actually human? I gasped: "Doesn't that mean that four people died just now?" ”
