Chapter 3: The Black Mist Wall
Rong Feng grabbed Jing Zhen's two severed fingers and fell into the black mist...... When Jing Zhen realized this, he and Xu Yongting were completely stunned!
The two of them trembled and walked to the fog wall, shouting Rong Feng's name, it stands to reason that if the person is fine, there should be a response immediately, but after shouting more than a dozen times, there is no response at all. Jing Zhen felt that something was wrong at that time, he pulled Xu Yongting and was about to discuss with her what to do, when at this moment, he saw a figure staggering out of the black fog.
The man was undressed, his whole body was ****, Jing Zhen and Xu Yongting were startled, when the figure raised his head and was facing the two of them, they both saw a face at the same time that they didn't even dare to dream of!
"Who do you see?" I asked.
"The two of them saw it, another 'Jingzhen'!"
"What...... What the? "I was taken aback, and looked at my grandfather with a look of surprise, feeling like I was being bluffed and numb all over.
"Yoko, this is what I want to tell you, the real secret about that black fog wall!" The old man said, pointing his finger at me, and said word by word, "Do you know that this is where the word 'reconstruction' comes from!" Inside the wall of black fog is a place where life can be replicated, as Ji Luo said, as long as you throw blood, flesh and bones into the wall, another you will come out of it! ”
"I'm grass, really? How can there be such a mysterious thing in the world? I exclaimed.
When did cloning technology first appear?
When did humans discover the gene?
How could a wall in an ancient cave have the ability to replicate life out of thin air?
I quickly shook my head to say I couldn't believe it, but for some reason, despite how much I objected to it, I had a faint feeling in my heart that I wanted to believe it.
"That's true."
"Could it be that my dad ......?"
"Yes, Jing Zhen's two severed hand bones caused him to see another self!" The old man nodded, "When I heard your father say this, I also felt like listening to heaven, but ...... That's just the way it is. ”
"So, what's the difference between that recreated Jingzhen and my dad? Does he know who he is? ”
"He's exactly the same as your dad in everything, his appearance, his hairstyle, his figure, even his voice, and all his memories. And this 'Jing Zhen' knows how he came here, he just looked at your parents, looked flustered, but didn't speak. At that time, your dad said that he looked at the 'self' who came out of the wall and felt like he was looking in a mirror......"
However, the "mirror" that Jing Zhen reflected made him feel outright fear!
He had never been so scared that there was another self in the world, what should he do? If left unchecked, what will become of his life for the rest of his life? He can't tell his son Jing Baiyang that there are two fathers in the world, right? And her own wife, she can't serve two husbands......
Jing Zhen felt creepy when he thought about it, and cold sweat fell straight down. The thing in front of you is not a person! That's right, he shouldn't have been in this world at all...... He's a monster!
When this thought crossed Jing Zhen's mind, he barely thought about it, reflexively grabbed the flashlight and slammed it on the head of the guy who looked exactly like himself.
One, two, three...... Jing Zhen's hands trembled, and the recreator fell down before he could resist.
Xu Yongting was stunned, Jing Zhen threw away the flashlight, walked up to his wife, comforted her, told her not to think about anything, it was a dream, and then the two decided to leave immediately. But at this moment, there was a sudden sound in the black fog wall, and the husband and wife were immediately alert, and looked cautiously over there, and couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see a thin child coming out of the fog.
"Kid?" I exclaimed, "...... How can there be a child? ”
"Jing Zhen said that he couldn't figure it out, the child looked like he was three or four years old, naked, thin, and ......beautiful," the old man said.
When Jing Zhen saw the child, he was a little distressed, so he asked him who he was and where he came from. The child was fixed and didn't speak, and then Jing Zhen found that the child's right hand was as black as Rong Feng! When Jing Zhen saw it, he had a bad premonition at that time, he didn't say a word, and hurriedly pulled Xu Yongting out, but as soon as they moved, the child silently followed.
Jing Zhen and Xu Yongting went all the way back and walked out through the gap, the child followed more than two meters away, and did not speak, the stones in the gap pierced his feet and bleed, and several pieces of his body were broken, but the child still followed without saying a word.
Xu Yongting looked at the child and thought of her son Jing Baiyang, she felt unbearable, so despite her husband's opposition, she turned around and picked up the child, intending to take him out.
Jing Zhen has always loved his wife, and Xu Yongting's words have always been regarded as holy decrees. And now, when he saw that the child was harmless, but he looked pitiful, he also relented, so he picked up the child and walked all the way back.
After getting out of the gap, Jing Zhen suddenly worried that he hadn't been able to kill the recreation just now, and he thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so he brought a stone from nearby to block the gap, so he left with confidence.
They knew that there was strong acid buried under the spiral staircase in the cave and they couldn't turn back, so they used the folding soft ladder prepared in advance to climb up little by little.
There was nothing to say about the rest of the matter, Jing Zhen and Xu Yongting left Mizi Garden with the child, returned to Xuanyuan Ancient City, and found the injured Meng Xianxian. Suddenly there was one less person, they were worried that Meng Xianfeng would be suspicious, so they simply lied to him and said that Rong Feng had an accident, the situation was urgent, they had to go back and re-equip first, and then come to save him, and this child was saved in the garden.
Meng Xianfeng didn't think much about it at the time, plus his wound was a little inflamed, so he had long wanted to go back for treatment, so the three of them and the child left like this......
At this moment, it was the dead of night, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and there was only a terrible silence in the garden, except for the sound of talking. I dragged my forehead with my hand, and my tumbling mind could not be calmed.
"And then?" I asked.
"Your parents have been missing for four months before they appeared, and you can tell there's something wrong with it. I pressed them, and they told me the truth. The old man took a sip of wine and said, "I thought to myself, Na Rong Feng must be dead, I am worried that his affairs will involve the family, so I let Jing Zhen and the two of them must keep their mouths shut." Fortunately, Rong Feng had no relatives around him back then, and he was alone on weekdays, so he has been missing until now and no one cares. But ......"
The old man said, and suddenly said in a serious tone, "Yangzi, do you have to know that Rong Feng's matter can be said to be a stain on your parents and me, a big living person disappeared out of thin air, and we can't be without responsibility." I'm old, and it's okay to be struck by lightning, but if this matter is said, our Jing family will be finished! Remember, just don't know anything, and after tonight, all you know is just a dream. ”
I looked at the old man, nodded after a long time, and said, I understood, I still couldn't hold back the question in my heart, and then asked, "What happened to the child that my parents brought back?" ”
"That child is very weird, I remember when your parents brought him back, he couldn't speak, he couldn't smell, his glasses were blind, he couldn't take care of himself, just like a newborn baby, until more than a month later, the situation slowly improved...... That's right! Yangzi, you should remember him, your parents named him 'Rong Feng', nicknamed 'Xiao Fengzi', so speaking of which, the two of you played together when you were young. ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? I was surprised, "How old was I?" 6 years old? 7 years old? …… But why don't I remember anything? ”
"You? You just remember that you are not hungry when you are full, what do you remember?! The old man said angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, I leaned back in my chair and let out a long sigh, and I understood it all at once.
Xiao Rong - It turns out that he is the child that my parents brought out of the fog wall. No wonder he asked me if I remember when I was a child, no wonder he kept saying that he seemed to have been to the cave in the Mizi Garden, and he once said that he couldn't understand many questions, and he didn't even know what he was......
Just imagine, everyone else was born and raised by your parents, and you are the only one, born from a bunch of terrifying black fog, you don't have a father or a mother, you don't even know if you are a human or a ghost, can you not wonder? Can you not want to know about your background? If it were me, I'm afraid I would have been crazy about this a long time ago.
"And so well," I tapped myself on the head with a little remorse, "I'm so heartless, how could I have forgotten such a childhood friend?" ”
The old man said, "Come on, no wonder you don't remember, you were still young at the time, besides, your parents only raised Xiao Fengzi for two months, and then your mother's family came to a distant relative, the couple are honest people, no children, and they took a fancy to Xiao Fengzi at once, and they talked about it in front of your parents, so they were taken away." ”
"Oh, no wonder......" I thought, although most of the mystery has been solved, but when I think about it again, there are still a lot of questions - what is the relationship between this 'Xiao Fengzi' and the missing 'Rong Feng'?
It stands to reason that since the black fog wall can replicate living forms through blood, flesh, and bone, then the copied 'Xiao Fengzi' should look exactly the same as 'Rong Feng', just like my dad and the re-creator, how could he be a stupid and blind child when he came out? If they say that there is nothing to do with each other, but the 'black right hand', 'infinite strength' and 'excellent eyesight' are exactly the same......
Wrong!
I shook my head, trying to shake off all the chaotic thoughts. Xiao Rong can't be Rong Feng! After Rong Feng fell into the black fog wall, there must have been something strange in the wall, so that a child would come out!
It's a pity that the fog wall has been soaked in cold cinnabar water, and this question may never be answered. Slowly, I found that Xiao Rong's question became my question at the same time.
Is that really good?
Should I continue to wade through this troubled water? Now that I've come out of the "door" and the whereabouts of those 16 people are clear, now that my questions are basically all solved, why should I still mess myself into endless questions?
I'm so good at torturing myself! I didn't understand anything at first, so I was anxious to figure things out. Now that things have finally been figured out, I am beginning to worry that I know too much and can't get away with it.
Is it better to really not know anything?
The old man and Dadong and I didn't speak, and each filled up the wine. After clinking glasses and drinking the last bit of wine in the bottle, he didn't bother to clean up, and was ready to go to rest.
As soon as I got back to the room, I felt dizzy and painful, my throat and eyes were dry, I poured a glass of water for the items, and after drinking it in two sips, I couldn't help but feel better, but wanted to vomit more. I thought to myself that I must have been injured on my body, otherwise how could I only have this little bit of alcohol?
My head was buzzing, and although I wanted to think of it as a dream, the old man's voice kept lingering in my head, lingering.
I thought to myself, let's go to bed early, I'm a big person, and I'll probably forget when I wake up tomorrow, but as soon as I reached out to the bed, at this time, there was a sudden "squeak" in the room, and the door was opened.
