Chapter 28: Disappearing
The two and a half hours on the plane were also spent almost in silence. This time it was a Boeing passenger plane that went back, so the three rows of seats and two corridors, compared to the oppressive small plane, people feel comfortable here, the air conditioning is also very strong, the air is comfortable, at least Luo Sheng didn't smell the foot odor as soon as he got on the plane.
When changing their boarding passes, Luo Sheng and An Yi both wanted to lean against the window, and the staff gave them two rows of seats in front and back, both by the window, but when they checked their identities, their eyes were different, and under the bright incandescent tube, the rotten girl-like eyes were obviously saying, "It's just a quarrel, get off the plane and reconcile as soon as possible." ”
Sitting side by side with Luo Sheng was an elderly woman, estimated to be in her 70s, and Luo Sheng couldn't tell how old she was, anyway, she would doze off as long as she sat in a chair.
Rason arranged the four game cards—he had four of them so far—on the small table, and at this time, his table mate was sleeping soundly, and a snorting sound came out of his half-open mouth. Luo Sheng helped his table cover the small blanket, and then concentrated on sorting out the things in his hands.
He found a pen and a dirt bag in the back pocket of the front seat — which was actually the seat of An Yi — and the unused dirt bag looked like a white envelope, and it was no problem to write and draw. Luo Sheng listed several names on it.
Yu Weiliang, Conola, An Yi, Crow, Cheng Yin, Luo Sheng. Then a few more nouns were written below each name - witch, werewolf.
Now that it is known that the witch is Yu Weiliang, and Luo Sheng himself is a werewolf, who are the rest of the people?
Recalling the entire deck of game cards, Luo Sheng can also remember the functions of many characters -
According to the game's instructions, the witch has a bottle of poison and a bottle of antidote throughout the game. That is, it can save a person, or it can poison a person. Therefore, the fish corresponding to the doctor's identity is slightly cool, which is very suitable.
And the werewolf has been sure that it is Luo Sheng himself, and there is more than one werewolf.
What are the roles of the rest of them?
Using the correspondence method, it is stupid on the surface, but the actual intention, Luo Sheng just wants to know how many people he needs to find.
Until the plane was about to land, he didn't expect that the remaining names could correspond to those identities, because the hateful Cheng Yin added the Crescent Moon Event to the game, and the game characters were at least a dozen more than a dozen on the original basis. Rawon needs to have a full deck of Werewolf cards on hand.
Luo Sheng can buy a complete set of game cards, but there is a place that may be closer to the answer. He thought that he should go straight to that location after getting off the plane, and he didn't have to think about it at all.
When he was about to land, Luo Sheng packed up the small table, and An Yi, who was sitting in front of him, went to the bathroom without seeing his split study of the game cards. When An Yi returned to his seat, the two looked at each other. In the end, Luo Sheng took the small suitcase above his head for the elderly tablemate, and then ended the journey with a smile and thanking him at the table.
"How's your hand? Does it still hurt? This is the fourth time An Yi has asked a question, from Siem Reap airport to flying back, he has always been concerned about Rason's right arm.
Luo Sheng made a gesture of raising his hand and said, "It's okay, I've changed the cotton wool several times, it's okay." Then he nodded frequently and cast an affirmative look at An Yi.
"Let me see."
"Huh?"
"I'll see how the wound is—" he said, going to lift Luo Sheng's sleeve. Standing at the position of the safety exit, this intimate gesture attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Under everyone's eyes, Luo Sheng immediately felt uncomfortable, and he shook off An Yi's hand: "Tsk, it's okay, what do you want to see?" He lowered his voice, but with a look of disgust on his face.
"Look, are you satisfied now?" Luo Sheng rolled up his sleeves, he didn't understand why An Yi suddenly cared so much about his wounds, but after thinking about it, it was more like checking the attitude of minors hiding contraband.
The upper part of Luo Sheng's right arm was exposed with a white bandage, which was so well bandaged that no one was allowed to take it apart.
"That's it."
An Yi glanced at it, and stayed on the bandage for less than a second, but to put it closely, that glance was like a ray, and he couldn't wait to see directly into the depths of the bone marrow.
These weirdness were all seen by Luo Sheng, and he remained silent and didn't say anything. He vaguely realized that An Yi seemed to be doing some kind of verification by caring about him.
He didn't know what Adan said to An Yi on the phone, judging by his judgment, it was not just that Luo Sheng 2 left in advance.
When you step out of the double-decker protective door of the airport concourse, you will see the asphalt road where buses and taxis alternate between peak hours, and the dark road surface is marked with white zebra crossings and yellow signs on the left and right lanes of vehicles. Luo Sheng and An Yi said goodbye, it was not a farewell situation, they only nodded to each other, and they didn't even have words like "call me if you have something". Luo Sheng felt that he and An Yi Fang had just met at the airport, holding each other's hands and holding a box or something, and then said goodbye to each other in such a humble way. Who would have seen that behind this, they had gone through a few strange days together.
Luo Sheng did not lament that the boat of friendship would capsize, but he gradually felt that something seemed to have changed in essence during this period.
Indeed, this radical shift was confirmed just minutes later. It's just that Luo Sheng didn't expect that the change would be so terrifying.
Luo Sheng got into a taxi, closed the door and said to the driver: "Go to the Fengqing Community on Heping Road." ”
It was his apartment, the same apartment where he and An Yi had been shot at by unknown shots. He just wanted to go back and pack up his things and move to the institute. As for An Yi's statement that he could encounter an "accident" there, he disagreed. He only felt that it was the reason why An Yi wanted to use an excuse to support him.
What is An Yi's private matter, Luo Sheng has no energy to think about it for the time being.
The airport is in the northern part of the city, and it takes about 40 minutes along a seaside mountain road to get taxis to enter the main line of the city and then pass the toll booth. Seventy percent of the city's greenery is covered by palm trees along the road, and the rest is almost entirely dwarf shrubs and frangipani.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the rush hour has not yet passed, and the long queue of cars on the overpass is not in sight, Luo Sheng is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry, on the contrary, he can quietly enjoy the fast-paced style of the city. Returning from Cambodia, I was inspired by all the towering buildings – finally able to look down on a city into a glittering web at night.
In fact, a corner of Rason's apartment building can already be seen faintly on the overpass, and it is difficult to see the 35-story building among the surrounding buildings that are no more than 20 floors.
However, Luo Sheng couldn't find the shadow of the apartment building.
He knocked on the back of the driver's seat in front of him and said, "May I ask if this is the South Second Ring Road Overpass, right?" ”
"Yes—" The driver was too lazy to sound like an all-nighter.
"After getting off the overpass, there is a supermarket on the left of McCard, right?"
"Yes—"
"Two hundred meters ahead is the municipal environmental protection elementary school, right?" Luo Sheng felt a little strange, but he couldn't say it specifically.
The driver turned his head impatiently: "I said, what are you going to ask?" I've been renting for more than ten years, and I won't pull you in the wrong place. ”
"I went to the Heping Road Community. That's right. Luo Sheng said in the rearview mirror.
The driver waved his hand, "Got it, Heping Road-"
After surviving the long traffic jam on the overpass where he could play ten kittens fishing, Luo Sheng finally got off at the intersection of Heping Road.
Less than 500 meters inside is the apartment building, and he usually gets off at the intersection and stops by the convenience store to buy food.
Luo Sheng used to carry all kinds of puffed food, beer, and convenient fast food out of the convenience store. Yes, habitually, everything is the same as before...... It's just that...... When he walked to the gate of the neighborhood where he should normally turn in, he was stupefied.
His apartment building, gone.
Either the disappearance that would be understood as a demolition, or the disappearance. The facts tell Luo Sheng that this land has never stood such a 35-story apartment building.
