Chapter 4: The Ephemeral "Never-End"
Waking up in the morning and testing to find that he completely lacks the superhuman abilities that he had taken the small pill Wonon yesterday, Eddie decides to talk to Wonon.
Eddie, who was completely captivated by the pill effect given by Wonnon, the former brother-in-law, felt that he couldn't afford to lose this pill that made him Superman Eddie.
I can do it if I want, and after knocking on the door at the address on the postcard given by Wonon, I heard someone inside cautiously asking who it was.
"Wonon, I'm Eddie!" Eddie replied immediately.
"Which Eddie?" But Wernon seems to have forgotten this ex-brother-in-law he met only yesterday.
"Mora."
After a while, Wonon's voice came from behind the door: "You didn't come at the right time, Eddie. "The voice is a little weak.
But Eddie didn't really care about that, or didn't notice.
"Wonon, I really want to talk to you." Yes, Eddie now only has the small pill that Wonon gave him yesterday.
The door opened, but Eddie was surprised by the appearance of Wernon in front of him, who was wearing pajamas, but Wernon's face was clearly beaten.
Feeling the need to ask, Eddie, who followed up behind, did not hesitate to ask: "Wonnon, what's wrong?" β
"Don't worry, I'm fine." The former brother-in-law, Wernon, did not appreciate this, and skipped it in a perfunctory tone. He was more interested: "Eddie, you're finally interested." "There's no doubt about what will happen to Eddie, who comes to him now? Out of the little pills he gave before, will there be anything else? Pull homely? No kidding. They are just ex-brothers-in-law and ex-brothers-in-law.
Eddie didn't care, "This thing is amazing. "His evaluation after using a small pill is as simple as that. But this simplicity is enough, and the power of that small pill can be described as magical.
"If you're smart enough, it works even better." Wonon said he knows this very well.
"Who gave this to you, Wonon?" Eddie is now desperate to know the origin of the pill, which will be of great help to his life.
"Trust me, you won't want to know." Taking a sip of his wine, Wonon didn't want to tell Eddie.
"What's it called?" There's no way, so just ask if you can know. Wonon didn't want to answer, and Eddie couldn't help it, but he didn't give up.
"I don't have a name yet." Wernon, who was seated, replied casually, "But the petty bourgeoisie in the kitchen calls it NZT-48." β
"The kid in the kitchen? Am I not like a name approved by the FDA? Eddie felt as if he had been deceived.
"FDA approval? That's a joke. Wonon didn't really care, and he was amused by Eddie's naivety, "You don't really believe those words, do you?" Is it? β
Eddie felt completely tricked, he ate this kind of underground research stuff, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.
"Would you like some more?" However, Wernon did not wait for his mental activity to be finished, and asked him a question that he could not refuse.
"Yes, of course!" Eddie replied without hesitation.
"Okay, let's talk." Wonon stepped aside and took out the key: "But you have to do me a favor first." I can't go out right now, can you go to the dry cleaners and get my suit back? With that, he threw the key to Eddie and continued, "Maybe bring some more and come back sooner." Then sit down on the couch and your feet at the same time.
Eddie understands that he has been taken by Wonnon, but how is that? He had to compromise if he wanted to get the pills, didn't he?
When Eddie returns from shopping for clothes and breakfast, he finds the door to his ex-brother-in-law's room open. It's a very strange thing, could it be that someone is coming to visit and not closing? It shouldn't be.
"Wonon?" He greeted him, but he didn't answer.
Push open the door and go inside, only to find the room in shambles.
"Wonon?" I saw that his former brother-in-law Wernon was still sitting on the sofa, and he didn't make a gesture to his surroundings, and so did he greet him.
Letting go of the slight unhappiness in his heart, Eddie circled in front of Wonon. But the next scene he saw directly frightened him to the ground, throwing away the clothes and breakfast in his hands.
Vernon is dead! His forehead and chest were covered in blood.
Fear and grief made him cry uncontrollably, although Wernon and he were not very familiar with him, but a person died like this, how could he not feel it?
But suddenly there was a sound at the door, and the frightened Eddie hid behind a wall and picked up a hockey stick at the same time.
"Bang!" The painting next to him suddenly fell, and he shuddered in fright, and then he yelled at the door, "Hey~~~~~! Hey~~~~~! "It's a warning and an intimidation. No sound came, and then he hurriedly took out his phone and began to call the police.
It's just that at this moment, a sharp thing suddenly came against the back. He stopped, then slowly raised his hand.
"Don't be impulsive! Hey! Dude, don't be impulsive! I give up! I give up! Throwing away the bat in his hand in a panic, Eddie surrendered to the man behind him.
Let's see who is behind him? Liu Hong! Liu Hong, who messed in!
Liu Hong couldn't understand what Eddie was saying at all. His English had already been returned to his teacher, but he could still guess the general meaning by Eddie's movements.
It's just that Liu Hong doesn't feel the need to delay time with Eddie now, so he holds the fruit knife that usually peels fruit in his right hand and puts it on Eddie's vest, and pushes Eddie to the side with his left hand, making Eddie stumble.
βGO!β Eddie, who was still facing away from Liu Hong after stumbling, was pushed by Liu Hong towards the door, and at the same time, the fruit knife stabbed forward.
It's just that this action made Eddie very nervous, and Liu Hong, who was trembling and cooperating, pushed, "Dude! Just relax! Just relax! What you have on your hands is dangerous! I'll cooperate with you, really! β
βGOοΌβ Liu Hong didn't understand Eddie's words at all, and now he was very nervous about doing this kind of illegal thing for the first time, and Eddie kept rambling and yelled unconsciously.
βYES! YES!β All right. Liu Hong understood this sentence, but he also arrived at the door.
Push Eddie hard against the door, then close the door, lock it, and find a small couch next to it. Liu Hong finally exhaled deeply.
It was very tense and exciting, it was the first time he had done such a thing when he was so big, and now after pushing Eddie out, he found that his whole body was a little numb.
Grinning bitterly, "This is really not something that ordinary people can do, shuttle. The burden in his heart made him unconsciously open his mouth to the time shuttle, but he still said it with his mouth.
"Ordinary people can do it, and many criminals can do it." Unfortunately, the time shuttle's answer did not ease his burden, but rather increased it.
"I'm not a criminal." Pouting, Liu Hong felt that there was no need to say anything to the time shuttle, the top priority was to find out the NZT-48, which was the purpose of his coming to "Neverending".
"I remember it was under the microwave or the oven, right?" Although he has watched "Endless" twice, when it came to the end, Liu Hong still confirmed it with the time shuttle.
"That's right." The voice of the time shuttle was as flat as ever.
"So let's get started. Whew~~~" exhaled deeply again, and then walked in the direction of this kitchen.
"Smack!" "Who?" After a few steps, the sound of an object falling suddenly came. Liu Hong, who was already very nervous, immediately put his hands on the handle of the fruit knife and pointed in the direction where the voice came. The handle of the fruit knife was very short, and he held it just right with one hand, and now that he held it with both hands, his left hand accidentally touched the blade, and a small wound was made. But Liu Hong didn't care at all, and stared at him to see who was there. You know, Wonon was killed, and it would be dangerous if those people were still around.
But after looking closely, he relaxed a little.
It turned out that Wonnon, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly fell to the ground.
"This real Nyima is scary!" After wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Liu Hong burst into a foul mouth, "Whew~~~" took a deep breath again, he didn't remember how many times he took a deep breath now.
Picking up Eddie's discarded hockey stick from the side, he stabbed Wonnon's body face down, and when he noticed no movement, he turned and walked towards the kitchen. Now he just wants to get the NZT-48 early and leave. He's had enough of this place. If you don't have a heart disease, you can be scared out of a heart attack.
When he got to the kitchen, he saw the oven that Eddie had found NZT-48 in. Without hesitation, he rushed directly to open it, cocked the underneath, took out the things wrapped in layers, and then neatly dismantled them. Yes, this is the NZT-48, and the US dollar.
"Huh~~~ It's finally over, so let's go! Shuttles. Accomplishing his goal, Liu Hong took another deep breath, then spoke into the void and made a request to the space-time shuttle.
"Okay." The time shuttle, who didn't speak without greeting, still responded in his undulating voice, but this happened in Liu Hong's mind, and others couldn't hear it at all.
A sense of weakness gradually entangled Liu Hong. Although he also felt this way when he crossed over, but it was very light, like now, almost the same feeling after running 10 laps and 3,000 meters around the playground when he was studying.
"Life extraction is complete. In Space Node Connection, the space node is connected. Turn on Void Travel. 3.2.1γ β
It's as if he never existed in this world at all, there is no light effect, no sound, and Liu Hong just disappears.
