Chapter 29 Vending Machines (I)
"Alas, I'm still too young to choose you as my partner. In the end, I still found the intelligence and locked the target by myself, what use do you want! Du Weiyan sighed with a sad face: "If I had been more confident at the beginning, wouldn't I be alone in the spoils of war now?" ”
"Then you don't have to call me over." Xu Xiaoming squinted his eyes and looked at Du Weiyan, who looked regretful, "If you don't tell me, won't you be able to swallow it alone?" ”
Du Weiyan covered his forehead with a headache: "I'm afraid that this will violate the treaty of 'betrayal'...... Alas, what a misstep into a thousand hatreds. ”
"Who made you not find out at the beginning and only figure it out afterwards?" Xu Xiaoming smiled, and then looked left and right, "So where is the anomaly you found?" ”
The two of them were staying at the gate of Wan X Square at this time. Originally, after mastering Qin Meng's personal information under the coercion and temptation of a certain witch, after basically solving the threat caused by the research, Xu Xiaoming decided to rest for a few days, but he didn't expect that the next day, Du Weiyan sent a message saying that he had found a possible abnormal event and asked him to come over.
Anomalies are naturally the more the merrier, Xu Xiaoming didn't have any reason to refuse this matter, so he came over in a taxi.
"Follow me." Du Weiyan walked to the right as he spoke, and Xu Xiaoming naturally followed behind him, "After investigation, I recently found that there is an alley near here that is a little strange, many people will turn into it when they pass by, and quickly turn out again, but afterwards, they will forget this part of the memory." This phenomenon has continued to occur in the past two days, and has not been detected by the institute or other organizations, so I would like to bring you over as soon as possible to determine the situation. ”
"Oh." Xu Xiaoming nodded, and then asked curiously, "Eh, how did you find out that many people will be abducted?" ”
"Looking at the surveillance video, I specially got a mobile phone, and played the video of the whole city at multiple times the speed of 24 hours a day, and finally found such an anomaly." Du Weiyan said with a dark face: "If I do a bad job in the midterm exam, can you help me make up for the class?" ”
"......" the corners of Xu Xiaoming's mouth twitched slightly: "I've been playing for half a year after the college entrance examination, if you really need it, I can find a classmate who works hard and lacks money to be a tutor for you." ”
"No need." Du Weiyan is naturally just joking, his thinking ability has been added to a certain extent after being possessed by the Sherlock Holmes personality, isn't it just glancing at the phone screen at any time while attending class? It wasn't too hard for him, "Well, we're here." ”
The two stopped one after another, Xu Xiaoming was stunned, and looked at the alley on the right, and then nodded thoughtfully: "I understand why many people walk here and turn in." ”
Xu Xiaoming stood on the road, and could clearly see that there was a vending machine lit up in the depths of this small alley.
"But in any case, there is something wrong with it, otherwise why would the people who have patronized it lose their memory?" Du Weiyan narrowed his eyes and walked into the alley first, explaining, "After noticing the problem in the alley, I deliberately found one or two of the witnesses to understand the situation, and I am sure that they have really lost their memories. ”
"You're too strong in action."
Xu Xiaoming exclaimed, and walked in front of the vending machine with Du Weiyan, looking up at the machine in front of him. The vending machine doesn't have a direct view of what's inside, and it doesn't even have a touch-and-click screen like other vending machines today, with only a 0-9 numeric keypad and a coin slot located on the right side of the machine. Not only is there no device installed to accept mobile phone scanning code payment, but there is not even a place to stuff banknotes, and the logo of "only accept RMB: one yuan" is written on the keyboard and coin slot, which can be said to be not humane at all.
Xu Xiaoming and Du Weiyan looked at each other, and only after a long time did they ask in unison, "Did you bring a coin?" Then he replied in unison, "Who brings cash these days!" ”
It's a little embarrassing now, and it's no wonder that those who came in quickly turned out again, can they not go out if they can't buy anything?
The two of them exchanged glances awkwardly for a few moments, and soon came to an agreement and decided to test the amnesia first. After a simple guess, Du Weiyan was forced to become a candidate to go out of the alley to change change, while Xu Xiaoming continued to stay in the alley, lest Du Weiyan lose his memory and never remember what happened here.
If they want to grasp this suspected anomalous vending machine in their hands, they must determine the value of all aspects of the anomaly, in addition to what the vending machine itself is selling, as well as the conditions for the occurrence of amnesia and the scope of its impact!
Xu Xiaoming, who has a lot of experience in this kind of test, stood next to the vending machine and watched Du Weiyan walk out of the alley step by step, the latter always maintained a backward posture, looking at the vending machine while retreating, and nothing abnormal happened in the process. Xu Xiaoming watched his movements until he completely withdrew from the alley, unable to see him from his own perspective, and he couldn't see the depths of the alley, he began to be silent for tens of seconds. Ten seconds later, Du Weiyan did not return to the alley, Xiao Ming smacked his lips, took out his mobile phone and dialed the kid's number.
"Hello?" The other party's voice sounded a little confused, "Xu Xiaoming? ”
"yes, do you know where I am?"
"Huh?"
"Do you remember what happened in the alley?"
"What are you talking about?"
- Even the memories of the previous investigation have disappeared? Was all associated memory erased?
Xu Xiaoming raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "Where are you now?" ”
"I'm ...... Near 10,000 X, what's wrong? Hey, why am I here? ”
"You look to the right-hand side and walk into the alley closest to you, yes, this is it, I'm in it." Xu Xiaoming had already seen Du Weiyan who was holding his mobile phone, and waved his hand to him, "Come in." ”
"Ah...... I remember. When Du Weiyan re-walked into the alley, he suddenly showed a sudden realization, as if he had regained the memory he had lost before, "Xiao Ming, don't hang up the phone." ”
Saying that, he turned around and walked out of the alley again, Xu Xiaoming didn't wait this time, and asked directly: "How are you?" Remember what I told you to do? ”
“…… Well? After a brief pause, he said, somewhat confused, "What's going on?" ”
"I forgot the content of the call, Lao Fu, walk into the nearest alley on the right-hand side."
Xu Xiaoming began to think while directing Du Weiyan to come back.
