Volume V, Chapter 29, The Field of Genes (V), October 2119
A rough and loud man's voice came from the first floor, and the image of a greasy bald uncle with the smell of smoke unconsciously appeared in Sima Aya's mind.
"Dancy, Jacob," the man cursed and called out the names of the two "little bunnies," and then, with the sound of dull footsteps, his feet stepped up the steps, step by step—Sima Aya's mind was filled with a brown bear that had broken into the house.
Sure enough, it was a middle-aged greasy bald man with a smell of tobacco and alcohol. Sima Aya followed him quietly, he didn't seem to notice it, but walked upstairs on his own, muttering words in his mouth.
(I don't know if this person, if it's him, it's the person written in Dancy's diary.) Sima Aya thought that she stood at the end of the corridor like a ghost, standing outside the field of vision of ordinary people, not visible to ordinary people, but she knew that she would always stand in the field of vision of death, so she did not dare to slack off.
The greasy bald uncle went up to the second floor and entered Dancy and Jacob's room, he opened the "coffin" and saw two sleeping children, "Little miscellaneous, sleeping again!" “
(It should be him,) Sima Aya thought, (He is the guardian mentioned in Dancy's diary, Mr. Slim.) )
She was standing right behind him, but he still didn't notice it.
Dancy doesn't record what the slime did to her in her diary, but from the way the slime looked at Dancy, it can be inferred why Dancy didn't like him. The slime stared at Dancy's blonde hair and moist little face, as if staring at a delicious piece of cake. A piece of cake that he doesn't need to pay for, he can eat it when he wants.
(Of course, this may also be just a conjecture, although there are many pedophiles in this world, especially in this "open" country) Sima Aya thought, she felt that she should not judge people by their appearance, maybe he just looked sloppy, but maybe he was a person with "inner beauty".
The smile on the slime's face finally appeared that Sima Aya didn't want to see. "Little cutie, you know," he said to himself, stretching out his trembling hand and picking up Dancy from the "coffin" like a man picking up a pet cat, "you need to know...... You need to know...... Being a guardian of 50 children is not easy. “
(Oh?) Sima Aya hesitated.
"I deserve something small, extra in return, don't I?" The slime laughed greedily.
(MD!! This! Sima Aya couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Suddenly, Sima Aya was taken aback, I, what's the ...... She found herself holding Dancy, no! What's going on, it's not that Dancy suddenly transforms from a slime to hers, but rather, she becomes a slime, or rather, she gains a first-person perspective of a slime.
Sima Aya and Slime staggered back at the same time. Dancy almost slipped out of his or her hands.
(I entered his consciousness?) How so? Sima Aya stabilized her body, and the slime also stabilized her body. She didn't know what was going on, but she decided to put Dancy back in the "coffin" first.
When she let go of Danxi, the anger in Sima Aya's heart dissipated a lot, and at this time, she suddenly withdrew from the slime's consciousness.
She saw the slime standing in place, and then looked down at his free hands, looking puzzled, it was clear that he didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know that he had "personally handed" Dancy back in place.
Sima Aya didn't know what the sensory connection between the two people was just now, but she was worried about revealing her existence, so she carefully moved to the corner of the room.
"Damn, it looks like I can't drink anymore tonight, I really drank too much last night." The slime scratched his head, and for the void in his memory, he thought of excessive drinking, and he remembered that the doctor had said that sooner or later excessive drinking would ruin people's brains.
He's really scared that he's got a bad brain right now.
(It seems that he can't sense my presence.) Sima Aya thought about it, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Slime looked at Dancy unwillingly, licked his tongue, touched his bald head again, and looked around, "This, Gou Zai, what's wrong?" He kept asking himself, banging his hand on his head, trying to remember something, but finally he didn't remember anything, and the blank of that memory was still blank.
Soon, he walked out of the room.
Just as Sima Aya was about to follow him out, he suddenly turned around, his eyes staring straight at Sima Aya like sharp swords. Without waiting for Sima Aya to react, he walked straight towards Sima Aya.
Sima Aya's first reaction was self-defense, which was the same as when ordinary people were forced to look, but the long-term invisible life had already overcame this impulse, which was an illusion of being watched, in fact, the other party was very likely to not see herself at all but was staring at something behind her.
So, mechanically, reflexively, she gently moved sideways to the side, avoiding the direction the slime was moving and making a way for him - and sure enough, he didn't see herself.
Slime walked back to the coffin, moved Dancy's small hand on the edge of the coffin back into the coffin box, and carefully closed the coffin.
Then, the slime looked at the "coffin" with a misty look in his eyes, perhaps in repentance....... After a long time, he sighed and left silently.
Sima Aya guessed that maybe he had just broken into the place to work, to check if the children were using the shielding device correctly, and whether the shielding device was turned off. But evil thoughts are everywhere, and incidental oil rubbing must also happen from time to time.
She had the urge to kill him with a shot just now, but now, she was vaguely aware that if she really killed him, then she would certainly kill his body, the evil side of human nature, but at the same time, she also killed his good side - if he was really the guardian of the 50 children, then he was the "protector" of the 50 children - or...... Godfather of the Devil.
Look out the window at the dilapidated and depressed ...... This is that in times of war, everything is no longer perfect.
It wasn't until the slime walked away that Sima Aya relaxed her tense nerves a little.
For the incident that entered the slime's consciousness a few minutes ago, Sima Aya once again felt incredible. She found a safe corner and sat down to rest, trying to make sure what had just happened was a hallucination. Into his body? No, it was into his consciousness, how could it be a hallucination, there had never been such a hallucination before - she now had the urge to bang her own head to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her own brain.
Magnetic field? Biofield? Synaesthesia? Why? Sima Aya's brain, which lacked rest, couldn't think about it at all, and when she thought about it, her whole brain hardened.
Sima Aya guessed that she might encounter such a situation again. She didn't know if she should take the initiative to find the slime and try to make contact again.
She was so tired that she suddenly felt extremely sleepy and yawned. (No, we need to find a coffin and get a good night's sleep.) She said to herself.
A long sleep, time passing by one minute, seems to have only experienced a second, but it seems to have experienced a lifetime.
This time, Sima Aya woke up safely without any accidents. So, Sima Aya subconsciously wanted to push the coffin open again and stand up from the coffin. But then, she heard something outside the coffin, the sound of an air raid siren, like the cry of a giant ghost in the sky, pouring death and fear into people's ears, infusing and permeating the whole mind.
Enemy air strikes? No, no, probably not, a nuclear bomb strike? Not really, right? Sima Aya thought about it for a while, and most likely, it should be the invasion of Cerberus, and the infrasonic antenna on the iron tower was activated.
It's dangerous! Almost died! Sima Aya was shocked into a cold sweat, and she scolded fiercely several times in her heart. Imagine, if she had pushed open the lid of the coffin herself, then she knew that she might not have time to close the lid and lie back in the coffin. Even if it is back in the coffin, the internal organs may have been severely damaged.
The super infrasonic wave will immediately shake people to pieces!
She could only listen quietly to the air raid siren, repeating her cry over and over again, waiting for the air raid siren to stop. She took two deep breaths from time to time to suppress her inner restlessness.
The air defense siren went off for a short time, and finally "swallowed her breath" and stopped crying wolf, at this time, Sima Aya could still hear the sound of the air defense siren in her ears, and her ears were ringing, and she thought that she might not be able to avoid this sound in her dreams tonight.
Sima Aya hurriedly jumped out of the coffin and went to the bathroom, the small space in the coffin was really suffocating. Sima Aya recalled that when she used to operate the stand-in robot, the operation room she used was also like a coffin, but compared to the coffin of the infrasonic shielding device, the coffin used when operating the stand-in robot was much more comfortable.
It was already afternoon when the air raid siren ended, and outside the window, the tower in the distance was still eye-catching in the skylight. There was no Cerberus corpse on the ground, because she knew that if there was a corpse on the ground, it would have "evaporated" quickly.
Sima Aya saw that the residents of the town had gone out to look around, leaving Cerberus footprints on some soft ground, and they were looking for these footprints, and then, following these footprints, looking for the shallow pits left by the evaporation of Cerberus's corpse.
The town's radio is loudly warning the townspeople not to go out: "Attention, attention, don't go out!" Waiting for the army to clear the remnants of the battlefield ...... "A few armored vehicles and robots patrolled the streets, houses, and open spaces, but the soldiers in the armored vehicles did not stop the residents from running around, although their small loudspeakers were also repeatedly "warning" everyone not to go out in advance, waiting for the army to clean up the battlefield.
But these soldiers and residents seem to be looking for something.
Sima Aya leaned against the window and observed for a while, and found that most people were very interested in the shallow pit left behind by the Cerberus after it evaporated, and their eyes lit up, bent over, and digging with hoes and small shovels - they were even looking for this kind of thing with magnifying glasses - could it be that there would be any treasure left behind after the Cerberus evaporated?
Sima Aya recalled Danxi's diary, which didn't record anything about the treasure - maybe it was, but she didn't pay attention to it, or she hadn't seen the page. Danxi's diary was important, so Sima Aya decided to look at Dansi's diary after Dancy and Jacob fell asleep, or after they went to work.
A child's diary should be reliable.
Suddenly there were gunshots and exclamations outside the window. Sima Aya cautiously came to the outdoors, and Xunsheng came to the scene of the incident, it was the army that killed a seriously injured but not dead Cerberus, and then, people swarmed up and jumped into the shallow pit left behind after the Cerberus evaporated, looking for something.
After a while, night fell, and Dancy and her brother had gone out to work and had not returned.
Sima Aya looked through Danxi's diary and found something called the Black Jewel: "Although the Black Jewel is very beautiful, my mother said not to let us touch it, it is a dirty thing, and anyone who touches it will get sick." --Sima Aya guessed that the so-called dirty things are dirty either because microorganisms cause illness, or because there is radiation. Black gemstones are supposed to be some kind of crystal, crystals with radiation.
(That's a ...... What the hell...... Why is there so much? Sima Aya scolded in her heart, is there a safe place in the end, either infrasound waves, or, crystal radiation - she herself is not afraid of death, if she dies happily, what is there to be afraid of? I am afraid that I will be slowly tortured to death, but radiation sickness is what slowly tortures people to death, just like Marie Curie (Madame), just like those in Chernobyl, innocent people (Chernobyl nuclear leakage).
Fortunately, agents have their own way of dealing with themselves, and theoretically, there is no pain in this kind of professional suicide, and of course, agents who have died in these ways are unlikely to come back and tell you if there is any pain at all.
I hope not.
That night, Dancy and Jacob never returned, and Sima Aya guessed that they might not have returned until early in the morning.
So, Sima Aya turned on the computer in the room on the second floor, she wanted to try again to see if the "green card" could be used, whether she could control the robot in the stand-in robot network, although when she was in (country C), she had tried many times, each time failed, and every time she couldn't connect to the network, but, because she didn't have too high hacking ability, she had to rely on the programs and toolkits in the "green card" to a large extent - this was almost her only hope.
If she can connect, she will swim in the endless ocean of information again, this feeling, this freedom, reminds her of Yang Yiyi, and recalls those days with her. Comfort and freedom.
So, she tried again: in the network...... Outside the window was silent and dark, and Sima Aya was caught in waiting......
--(I entered his consciousness?) How so? Sima Aya steadied herself
