Volume VIII, Chapter 7: Viruses
When Qian Xinyu was pouring wine, I also noticed her movements, which were natural and nothing particularly strange. And at the moment when she poured the wine, there were three more words on the table: sacrificial spirit cow......
The girl turned her head to look at me, her nose resting on my neck.
She said suspiciously, "She...... It's not poisoned......"
Noncommittal, continue to look at the screen.
In the private room in the video, the light is slightly dim, and the maid and I arrive and sit at the dining table. After that, there was that awkward cold scene.
I didn't answer Yaya, I was thinking about another question. I've put away the glasses and bottles, and I'm ready for someone to take them for testing. In this way, you can directly find out where Yaya ingested those toxins.
Yaya looked away from the screen, leaned on my shoulder, closed her eyes, and muttered, "Zhuo, I'm so tired......"
She is now weak and has limited energy.
I turned my head, combed her slightly messy hair on her sideburns, and said softly, "Then let's rest for a while......
"Hmm!" She answered, her long eyelashes fluttering softly in the light.
"Master, do you already know who the murderer is?" Xi Erzhuo's words began to talk again, she is a robot, I really don't know where so many words come from.
I nodded and said in my heart, "I feel a little bit, I'm not sure yet." ”
Thinking of this, a killing intent came to my heart again.
The girl leaned against me and fell asleep. I didn't want to disturb her, so I let her hold me to sleep.
Suddenly there was a little sour in my heart, I don't know how long such days can last. Can I find Qin Yao or Xiao Ruo before Yaya is completely poisoned?
Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed,
Qian Xinyu finally came, carrying a backpack and her already pale face
, but at this moment, there is a touch of iron blue.
"How?" I slowly took the girl in my arms and looked up and asked.
"In my apartment, someone stole something...... Qian Xinyu said, "something very important." When I returned, the apartment was in chaos, and everything I could have turned over had been opened. ”
Frowning slightly, her words reminded me of the villas and apartments I had turned over.
"Did you lose anything?" I asked. I wasn't looking for words, and when my apartments and villas were turned over, I didn't see anything particularly noticeable missing.
"A very important thing has been stolen...... Qian Xinyu frowned, "The book of heaven in the copper box is gone." ”
Book from the sky? I wondered slightly. The original book was in my hands, but because I couldn't read the words in it, I didn't care about it. Later, he put all his energy on cracking the ciphertext of those notebooks, and completely forgot about the book of heaven.
Now that Qian Xinyu talks about this, I remember that I haven't seen the book all along...... To be more precise, it should also be a notebook.
I don't know what's on it, and I don't know why Qian Xinyu cares so much about that book.
Under the streetlights, her shadow was dragged for a long time, and in the night, a desolation began to brew.
"Do you know the words in that book?"
"I don't know. But I have a feeling that the message has something to do with the spirits......"
Even if the above information is related to the sacrifice, it will not help us in any way at this time, because no one can read the text.
This is the county seat, not very far from Wazi Village.
I prepared some more things, so I hired a car and drove in the direction of Wazi Village.
This time, all that was prepared was some medicine, food, and water, and the backpack was nowhere near as heavy as before.
The mountain road is rough, and the headlights of the cars are constantly flashing in the woods and curves.
It was quiet and dimly lit in the pickup truck.
On the dark mountain road, the sound of the car's engine silenced everything.
The girl leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep. I took her hand, and her hand was really cold.
Qian Xinyu sat in the passenger seat and closed her eyes.
The priest entered the secret base this afternoon, and in order to prevent its whereabouts from being lost, we had to operate overnight.
Compared to looking for Xiao Ruo and Qin Yao, this method may be faster.
The most important thing is that the priest is afraid that it has a lot to do with the disappearance of his father and father.
The car stopped directly in the group in Wazi Village, and I jumped out of the car, took out my backpack from the trunk, and carried it in my hand. Returned to the car door, bent his knees slightly, turned his back to Yaya, and said softly: "Come to my back......"
"Backpack...... I'll carry it. ”
"Don't be pushy!"
"I don't suffer," the girl smiled, "and the weight will weigh on you anyway." ”
I can only smile and shake my head, and sometimes, there is really nothing I can do with her.
Qian Xinyu stood next to the headlights of the car, looking down at the small pebbles protruding from the road.
Under the illumination of the headlights, those small pebbles became clear and abnormal.
"Let's go......," she coughed softly, looking at the mountains full of corn in front of her, and said, "The dew is heavy at night, and the grass is slippery, so be careful." ”
With that, she put on her backpack and picked up her pickaxe, and began to walk towards the cornfield.
At this time, the corn in the field is growing vigorously, and the mountain grass is also growing luxuriantly. The mountain trails have also become more difficult to walk than in autumn.
Soon, the dew wet the cuffs.
His head was full of water.
I didn't care about the water, but I was afraid that the girl would catch a cold, so I took out my raincoat and asked her to put it on.
Looking at Qian Xinyu, who was walking in front, he suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, and reminded him loudly: "You can wear it too......
She didn't answer me, just silently pulled out her raincoat from her backpack.
The girl is pulling the sleeve of my raincoat and arranging the hood. Between her eyebrows and eyes, there was a smile all over her, and she was very happy.
After putting on a raincoat, the journey continues.
If it's just me and Yaya, I can fly with a sword.
Now that there is one more Qian Xinyu, I don't want to.
I can't say what the reason is, in a word, I just don't want to. Quite simply, not a reason.
The mountain road winds through the cols. Now these roads can only be walked by people, and cars want to come to this kind of place, but there are no doors. Suddenly, a sentence came to mind:
The road is narrow and the grass and trees are long, and the sunset dew stains my clothes!
On the mountain, there is no sound, but there is no sound at all.
It's messy, it's scary. Fear of the dark and the unknown.
After walking for more than an hour, we came to a lawn.
The lawn is not very large, but it is the size of half a football field.
This kind of lawn in the south is usually because the soil is too poor for farmers to reclaim.
And this place, which is already far away from the village, is not many people willing to travel so far to farm.
On the lawn, the grass is not very deep, but it is also knee-high. The dew drops hugged the grass stalks, shimmering with a cold light in the hazy moonlight.
Qian Xinyu stopped, looked at a cave not far away, and said, "This is it......"
At this time, I realized how many wrongful paths I had taken when I came out of here last year!
That time, we walked for days, and now, it's just over an hour away.
The cave is a natural stone crevice, and from the outside, there are no traces of human existence.
Above the top of the cave, there is a large Polygonum multiflorum. The thickness of the main vine is almost as big as the little finger of a person.
He Shou Wu is very dense, and the hanging vines cover this stone crack tightly.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, a very strange smell came from inside.
Although the smell is very light, it is quite uncomfortable to inhale in the lungs.
I don't know what kind of smell it is, the smell of corpses, the smell of disinfectant water, and more of the smell of a chemical agent used in an experiment.
I thought I had smelled it, I can't remember the name of it, but I did know that it was usually used to preserve specimens. This agent is difficult to decompose, and after leaking into the air, its flavor will not disappear even after decades.
"At that time, I found this place after I discovered this smell......" Qian Xinyu picked up the vines of He Shou Wu, turned on the flashlight, and walked in.
It's the smell of the inside of the lab.
This laboratory was also blown up by me back then, but I haven't walked the road we're taking now.
The main gate of this base is in another place, and it has already collapsed, even if you drive the excavator over, it will not be ten days and half a month, and you will not want to dig out the main gate.
In the cave, it was very dry, probably because of the poisonous gas, and the bats did not dare to come here to settle down.
The cave is natural, very narrow, just a crack.
After walking all the way down, after walking for more than ten minutes, there was finally no road on the ground.
But I know that this is impossible, and I have not yet entered the experimental base of Luoke.
The road is down there! Feet!
Behind a stalagmite in front of you, someone punched a hole, a hole straight down!
I didn't hit this hole.
After so many years, who knows if it's a ghost?
In the shaft, the cold wind kept blowing...... Underneath is connected to an even more open underground space.
And Luoke's base is in this huge underground space.
This hole, naturally, was not hit by Qian Xinyu. The walls of the cave are too old and covered with lichens, so it can't be freshly tapped.
"When I came here, I found out that there was a cave that led directly to the bottom of it. This place has been visited by people before me, and I don't know if they came to look for the priests. ”
It seemed that she didn't know what kind of terrifying place it was down there.
She threw the rope, fastened the buckle, and climbed down.
On top of the cave wall, there are many thick iron nails, and it is very easy to climb.
After Qian Xinyu went down, I carried Yaya on my back and went all the way down.
Soon, there was nothing in front of me, and there was darkness.
The cold wind did not stop and raged in this space, and after rubbing against the sharp stone edges, it made a sharp sound.
"There's a very large stalactite hanging here, be careful, don't fall down." Qian Xinyu's light flickered on the right.
I knew it was a very large underground space, but I hadn't looked closely at how big it was.
Thinking of this, I threw the Miao knife out.
In the dark sky, a bright light suddenly bloomed, and Miao Dao was like a small sun, illuminating the entire underground space!
And Yaya and I could see the scene under our feet clearly.
Although I was mentally prepared, this feeling was really shocking!
We're really on a huge stalactite now, and this hole happens to be drilled out of the side of the stalactite, and the hole is completely volleyed. Below, five or six hundred meters later, there is the ground.
When I stood on the canyon bridge, the feeling was not as shocking as it is now.
Around the stalactite, there are all iron nails, dense, and they can't stop extending down in a circle, and these iron nails are nailed to the stalactite, and it feels like this huge stone is like a huge screw hanging upside down in the void.
I'm afraid these iron nails were left by the person who made the hole.
The gaze followed the iron nail all the way down, and after more than ten meters, the stalactite finally became thinner and could no longer bear the weight of a person.
Four or five meters below the stalactite, there is a huge rock jutting out from the cliff next to it.
There was also an iron nail on top of the rock, and the person who wanted to come to make a hole came here and hung it with a rope tied to the iron nail.
Qian Xinyu sighed softly and said, "After I came here, I couldn't go down." This stalactite is full of that terrible germ.
”
When the girl saw this scene, she exclaimed in surprise and buried her head in my back, not daring to look at it.
It's not that she's timid, in this kind of open space, in this hideous space, human beings are as small as ants. It's normal for her to be afraid.
I looked down, didn't say anything more, recalled Miao Dao, and looked back at Qian Xinyu.
I thought she would be a little surprised, but I didn't expect her face to be surprisingly calm. In the face of my "flying knife", she is used to it.
This is not normal!
I thought: Qian Xinyu, she already knows my identity? Or did she already know something else "more rebellious"?
She should know something, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.
I pretended not to see it, and said to her, "Come here, I'll take you down." ”
She was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and walked back to the cave along the nails.
Airplanes......
Miao Dao flew out, suspended in the air, emitting a faint golden light.
I carried the girl on my back and stepped on it.
With a pull of his hand, he also pulled Qian Xinyu up.
She was so frightened that she didn't react for a long time.
Miao knife slowly descends, and the feeling of weightlessness ...... Sometimes it's really cool. But for some people, it's a nightmare, such as Qian Xinyu now.
By the time she landed on the ground, I couldn't tell if her face was flushed with excitement or pale from fright.
Or rather, the iron blue after the mixture of these two faces.
Although Yaya is weak, she often flies in the sky, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
After Qian Xinyu vomited almost completely, I handed her water.
The pale light of the flashlight shone on her face, and I suddenly realized that she was weaker than a maid......
"You...... What kind of disease is it? I finally couldn't help but ask, "How can you be so weak?" ”
She "laughed" and did not answer, but this "laugh" is no longer an unfathomable laugh, no longer a laugh in the chest, not a pretended mysterious laugh, but a haggard and weak laugh......
The smile is so pale, so helpless, so unwilling, but so stubborn.
"Mr. Yu is so smart, you might as well guess what kind of illness this is......" She was very polite, as if she was talking about someone else's business.
