Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Am Not Me
Li Yang said: "Senior, if you really want to die, it's actually very easy. ”
"Oh?" Liu Yan became interested: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Aren't you going to use your astrolabe to derive the next generation? As long as you find your reincarnated person in advance and kill him, won't you? ”
Liu Yan smiled faintly: "You don't know many details of my reincarnation, and even I can't tell myself. I can only roughly deduce where my next life is, and there is an approximate direction, but I don't know who it is. ”
She held on to the globe, which slowly stopped turning. She stared at the red line marked above and said, "I connected the markers born on the map and tried to find the pattern behind them. I gradually realized that I was not reincarnated aimlessly, but that there were indeed traces to follow. ”
We looked at each other and didn't speak.
Liu Yan walked to the back of the table, opened the drawer, took out a folded map of the World Realm from inside, and beckoned me and Li Yang to help her unfold it. Good guys, this map is almost all over the table, and it is dotted with major cities and regions. A red network of red lines connecting birthplaces spans most of the map.
If you lay out the map in two dimensions, it is easier to see that this network of red lines does form a shape. The shape was very strange and nondescript, as if something was lying on a map, spreading out all over. I looked at it from a few different angles, but I couldn't see the way no matter how I looked.
"What do you think this looks like?" Liu Yan asked.
Li Yang and I both shook our heads and looked at it for a long time, but it didn't become a thing. Yang Shanshan said on the side: "It seems to be a woman." ”
Li Yang smiled: "Don't talk about it there, return the woman." ”
Yang Shanshan was not convinced: "Look, this is the arm, this is the leg, this is the ...... Two Mimi. She pointed to the red line with her hand and drew the outline, which was the arm and which was the leg. I gasped when I saw it, don't let her point like this, the shape of the red line network does look more and more like a woman.
The woman was lying face up on the map, one hand behind her head, one hand hanging by her side, her chest were two cities at high altitude, with a navel and **, and her legs propped up. Don't say I'm a hooligan, how do I look like a woman who has just finished ** and is lying lazily.
But it's not that it's like it's amazing, it's just that the shape is somewhat similar, and I suspect it's due to Yang Shanshan's psychological hints.
Li Yang scoffed: "It's like a fart." I don't look like it at all, you have to say that, I think it's like an alien. This is the antenna, this is the oxygen cylinder, this is the mask......" He gestured back and forth, but it was not nonsense.
Liu Yan said beside him: "Don't guess, Shanshan is right." The birthplaces of my past lives are connected together to form a topographical map of a woman. She looked at the map, lost in thought, and said quietly: "Since I began to consciously study, I feel more and more that there seems to be something arranged in the dark, and if I want to die freely, I must find the 'hand' that controls everything." The reason why you don't think it looks like this map is because I have lost many lifetimes of life in my memory, and I can't remember the places of birth, so the topographic map is partially missing in shape. I have a vague feeling that the biggest key should be in my first life. ”
I wondered: "Senior, wasn't your first life a bodhisattva in the ancestral hall of your hometown in Henan?" ”
Liu Yan shook his head: "That body is only a few hundred years old, far from my first life. My first life......" She looked up, looked confused, and said in a daze, "I can't remember." ”
I shuddered as I listened, and my hairs stood on end for no apparent reason.
Liu Yan came back to his senses and smiled faintly: "But I know where the general range of the first life of the Dao is. She pointed to the map with her hand: "I only vaguely know that the road is in this woman's heart." Because of her uncertain shape, it is most likely two places, one is Chifeng in Inner Mongolia and the other is Motuo in Tibet. ”
She looked at Yang Shanshan: "I'm more inclined to Motuo." ”
Yang Shanshan clapped her hands: "So you called me over." Little girl, are you the daughter of the boss of this group? ”
Li Yang and I laughed dumbly, after listening to it for a long time, her brain was still a pot of paste. Liu Yan didn't explain too much, but said, "Several, follow me to the medical department." ”
"What's that for?" I asked.
Liu Yan smiled secretly: "Don't you want to know what experiments I am doing here?" ”
We walked out together, and Li Yang and I glanced at each other, and couldn't guess what medicine she was selling in the gourd. I always feel that things are a little strange, my heart is pounding inexplicably, what kind of experiment did Liu Yan do?
Coming to the hallway, I went downstairs down the stairs to the first floor, where there were two very inconspicuous metal doors. There was a gate guard next to it, and the staff inside handed each of us a white coat and a mask.
After changing her clothes, Liu Yan opened the door with a combination lock and continued to go inside. Inside the door was a straight corridor, twice with metal walls, and a light with a low wattage on the head, and it was empty, and the sound of footsteps when walking up was particularly insightful.
When I came to the end of the hallway, I opened the door, and inside was a large cryonics laboratory. Through the transparent glass window, you can see several corpses parked in the huge room. The corpse rested on a movable corpse bed, covered with a white sheet, with only a pair of feet exposed. There is also a small metal plaque with a number on it on the toe.
I counted about ten, neatly arranged, with dim fluorescent lamps hissing from the ceiling. These corpses are piled up here, and there is an inexplicable eerie feeling.
There was a doctor-like man, dressed in thick clothes, who was inside examining the corpses one by one. Holding the tablet in his hand, he lifted the corner of the quilt and looked at the corpse below, recording what was on it.
I glanced at it, my heart was panicked, and I was about to withdraw my gaze, but Li Yang touched me and whispered, "Something is wrong." ”
"How?" I asked softly.
"Look at the feet of those corpses." He said.
I looked closely, and my heart chuckled. These bodies are not supposed to have died recently, and some are even ...... Mummy. The feet were black and thin, completely dehydrated, like a baby.
I blinked, looked at Liu Yan who was walking in front, this was uncomfortable in my heart, what was she doing with so many corpses? She wants to archaeology, huh?
Liu Yan led us to the door of the freezer and smiled slightly: "It's cold inside, everyone get ready." As he spoke, he opened the door, and suddenly a cold air rolled out, making me shiver all over the body.
Liu Yan walked in front, and we followed, and soon came to the first corpse. She lifted the white sheet, revealing the body underneath. This is a little girl, about the same age as Liu Yan, about ten years old. Seeing this corpse, Yang Shanshan retched "wow" and stumbled out of the door.
The corpse was rotten, indescribably rotten, and its flesh had deteriorated and swollen. There are stitches on the stomach, and there are rotten bones in many parts of the limbs. Especially the head, which can be called a yin and yang face, half of the area is still intact, and it can be seen that it is a person. The other half was so rotten that the flesh was rolled up, and the bones stuck out.
I guess the body may have been dug up from the ground and had been processed, but I could smell the faint stench of corpses in the air. Li Yang and I were so disgusted that we leaned against the wall, and we felt sick to our stomachs.
Liu Yan's next move completely subverted my three views. She actually stood in front of the corpse, gently touching the corpse's face with her hands, and touching the hair that had withered like rotten grass. The look in her eyes was completely indescribable. Is it love, regret or regret? Can't describe.
I spat out a mouthful of sour water with a "wow", and I was nauseous for a while, and I forcibly suppressed it.
Someone picked up what I spit out. Through the glass window, I saw Yang Shanshan sitting on the bench outside with a pale face, hugging her shoulders and trembling.
Liu Yan covered the sheets, smiled at us, and used her fingers to seduce us, signaling us to continue walking.
Li Yang and I were already weak, and we came to her with one foot deep and one foot soft. In front of us, there was a corpse parked, looking at the condition of the feet, black and shrunken, it should be a dried corpse.
Liu Yan slowly lifted the white sheet, revealing a man underneath. This man is much better looking than the rotten girl just now, at least not sick to his stomach. He was bald, he looked very young, he must have suffered no sin when he died, his face was calm, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly grinning, as if death was a very happy thing.
Liu Yan stared at the corpse for a long time, her expression was a little moved, the flesh on her face was trembling slightly, and she was indescribably desolate and depressed.
"Who is this?" Li Yang asked softly.
Liu Yan said: "Your grandmother Qi Yan is the man she loves most in her life." ”
"Did you steal my grandfather's body?" Li Yang's nose was almost crooked.
I reacted, hit him, and coughed, "This is the monk." ”
Li Yang was stunned, and then shocked: "This, this is a monk?" That...... Isn't that your past life? ”
Liu Yan raised his arm, pointed to the corpses in the entire room, and said, "Yes, these corpses are all me." ”
