Chapter 13: Sleepless Nights
For the whole day, we hid in the house and didn't go out, which was the first time since I became an informant that I had been so passive in doing tasks.
Lu Yufeng also let us all lie on the bed, because according to the previous analysis, we are likely to be infected with the virus, some viruses are the faster the human metabolism, the more vigorous their fecundity, now since there is no antidote, we can only use this stupid method to prolong the time for the body to be dragged down.
Pan Zi is even more desperate, he said that sleeping is lower than lying down, so he really fell asleep in a daze, I also want to be like him, but I don't have that mentality.
Lu Yufeng and I don't talk much, my mind is chaotic and thinking, so I slowly stay up until the night, and when it gets dark, I also fall asleep in a daze.
I woke up in the middle of the night coughing, my throat was very dry, I sat up uncomfortably for a while, and my eyes casually looked at the window.
Lu Yufeng lowered the curtain tonight, blocking the window, and he couldn't see what looked out of the window, but there was a tree shadow on the curtain.
I remembered when I was a child, and I often saw this phenomenon at night, and I couldn't help but sigh, and said that it was almost winter, and the shadow of the tree in front of me looked so withered, very similar to my current physical condition.
I wanted to get down to the ground to drink some water, but I was lazy, so I just rolled over and wanted to lie down and go back to sleep.
I was stupid just now, and I didn't turn the corner, and when I closed my eyes for a while, suddenly, there was a soft snap outside the window, and I opened my eyes suddenly.
I said in my heart, damn it, we live on the fourth floor, and there is no tree in front of the building, how can there be a shadow of a tree on the curtain?
In other words, it's likely that someone is lying outside our window, or even the murderer.
My heart jumped, and I turned my head to look at the curtain again, and then the "shadow of the tree" was gone, and I didn't dare to rush over and open the curtain.
I hurriedly got off the ground, walked to Lu Yufeng's bedside, and gently pushed him.
Lu Yufeng looked very vigilant when he opened his eyes, looked at me, and asked softly what was the matter.
I leaned into his ear and talked about the strange thought of the curtain "tree shadow", Lu Yufeng frowned. But he was a master of art and bold, and after pondering for a while, he replied quietly, "Bring your weapons, let's go and see." ”
He used a throwing stick, and I pulled out the trouser belt, and I couldn't use the slinger at this time, because if I really wanted to meet the murderer, I had to use the trouser belt to strangle his arms or legs, drag him in, and let Ah Feng do it.
The two of us crossed our feet and leaned towards the curtain little by little, Lu Yufeng also made a three-two-one gesture to me, I waited for his order and pulled the curtain at the right time.
Lu Yufeng was almost attached to the window, and his hand holding the slinger was raised, and when he saw someone outside the window, he immediately smashed him to death.
But there was a sudden opening outside the window, who was anyone? Lu Yufeng pushed the window open again, and cautiously poked his head out to look around.
When he didn't notice anything, he shrank back and asked me, "Are you sure there was a 'tree shadow' just now?" ”
I said that there is something uncertain about this, although the eyes were hazy just now, but such a big shadow is definitely not bad.
We looked out the window again, looking for something suspicious. Opening the window and tossing it woke up Panzi.
He sat up and leaned over to ask us something.
I talked to him in general, and we studied it a little deeper.
We have always wondered how to get a cold, and we were confused by the "tree shadow", and there is a guess that the night I dreamed of my mobile phone number, someone must have climbed in through the window, and he not only gave us the virus, but also wrote that row of phone numbers under the window.
But this speculation also has loopholes, on the one hand, before we caught a cold, the vigilance was very high, if someone climbed the window, it was impossible for even Ah Feng not to notice; On the other hand, if the murderer has the ability to write down the phone number, why did he bother to whisper it in my ear, and even if he had the opportunity, why didn't he kill me with a knife?
We talked about it for a long time and didn't understand it, so this speculation can only be put aside.
Lu Yufeng beckoned us not to think too much, and then went back to sleep. And the window is going to be open like this, and if the murderer really wants to come back in a while, Ah Feng can also launch a flying needle to injure him as soon as possible.
We all turned our heads and walked back, but without warning, the back of my head suddenly hurt, as if a little awl was about to be poked into my head.
I shuddered in my heart, thinking that it was over, that the murderer had not left, and that there was a gun, and that he had shot me.
Guided by this thought, I almost limp forward, and coincidentally lay on the bed.
But then I was fine, except for a little pain in the back of my head, and I didn't spray brain plasma or blood.
I wondered, and touched it again. Pan Zi was a little puzzled when he saw my series of actions, and asked me what's wrong?
Lu Yufeng found out the clue, he picked up a stone wrapped in cotton from the ground, and beckoned the two of us to look at it together.
There is nothing special about this stone and cotton, but when I opened it, I found that there was a note wrapped around the stone, and when I opened it, I saw that a map was drawn on it.
The map is very simple, it is a street sign, and a circle is drawn on it, and the wishing tree is written in the circle.
This wishing tree is a small attraction in Mousse Town, and it is said that if you make a wish under this tree, your wish will come true.
At first glance, I thought it was the murderer who asked us out to fight alone, but this is unlikely, and I thought, could it be that the powerful person mentioned above is coming? He shot a pebble in the middle of the night and asked us to meet?
I didn't have any good ideas, so I asked Lu Yufeng what he thought.
Ah Feng had a plan, he said that we would ride motorcycles, so that we could really encounter the danger that could not be solved, and we could also escape through the alleys and alleys.
The plan was set, and we actually had a specially prepared military motorcycle downstairs, but we didn't use it since we got to Moussetown.
It is also said that we are very interesting, and the old men are crowded on a motorcycle, and they rush to the wishing tree in the middle of the night.
The wishing tree was quite close to our house, five minutes by motorcycle, and from a distance, there was a person under the tree.
He also came on a motorcycle, parked the motorcycle aside, and sat down against the wishing tree, holding a strip of dried meat and nibbling with relish.
The wishing tree is so large that it is estimated that it can only be hugged by four or five people, which makes this person look very small in comparison.
But I didn't despise him, I can't say why, looking at it from a distance, especially his every move, I can feel a kind of domineering emanation from him. And we've seen this person, the Mai old man who told fortunes on the train.
I said in my heart that he hid himself deep enough, pretending to be so similar on the train, but I didn't expect it to be a special informant.
Seeing that we were standing still, Mai Lao Suo waved his hand and let us walk in.
Pan Zi thought it was still so simple, he looked around and asked, "Huh?" Fortune teller, such a coincidence! You're going to Moussetown to make a fortune? We have an appointment with a friend, how long have you been under the tree? Have you seen anyone else coming? ”
Mai Lao Su looked at Pan Zi and didn't reply, and his eyes were very cold, which made Pan Zi embarrassed and didn't dare to look directly at him.
Lu Yufeng answered and asked, "I don't know what to call you, but I want to ask, the last time you dealt with the white spirit medium in Longzhou, was it the Thunderbird you shot and killed?" ”
Mai Lao Su looked at Lu Yufeng again and looked at him coldly.
I was next to Lu Yufeng, and I could feel that he was also a little uncomfortable, but this kid could resist, so he caught Mai Laosuo's gaze and didn't avoid it.
Mai Lao Suo sighed with satisfaction, retracted his gaze, ate meat again, and said a very strange thing while he was free, "Du Rui, Pan Zi, you were released from Beishan Prison eight months ago, right?" At that time, a total of 12 commutation informants were released, according to the archives, you are also considered to be the big oil (prison bully) in the prison, why did you come out like this? Six have died so far, which is really not as good as a generation! When I was the No. 1 oil in Beishan Prison, you people didn't deserve to be a small plate oil (bullied or new prisoners)! ”
This is obviously criticizing the two of us, I am a little unconvinced, and I say that this old guy looks a little domineering, but I can't bury people like this, or I may not be weaker than him.
But after hearing this, Lu Yufeng was solemn and respectful, and he couldn't believe it, "Are you a spear wolf?" ”
Mai Lao Su didn't refute, it was a tacit acquiescence, and then continued, "The organization just has a new message, let me bring it." After your blood is tested again, it has been confirmed that there is indeed a virus called RNA, which is also a variant of the virus involved in this case, the new virus has a property, it will invade the human body through airborne transmission in a closed environment, but after finding a host to reproduce, it will become non-contagious, it will continue to torment the host until two months later, with the host to die. ”
When I heard this, I felt a little spinning around, and I said I was really worried about what's coming. Lu Yufeng and Pan Zi's faces also became very ugly, but Mai Laosuo's next words made us feel more relaxed, "It doesn't matter, the organization will study the antivenom in time, just wait patiently." ”
I found that Mai Lao Suo was very slippery, and after he comforted us like this, he took advantage of the heat to take out a photo from his pocket and assign us a new task!
