Chapter 10: Night Talk (Part II)

Ask for a ticket.

"I've heard about this corpse, and Coral was still around......"

In the villa, the old man said this sentence with a smile, and Xingzhiwei was startled.

"What? Coral She ...... What is she doing at the dump...... This girl ......"

"It's fine." The old man shook his head, "She has a good friend, probably a rag-picker, who often goes to play. ”

"Go to the garbage dump and play ......"

"I said it's okay, you don't need to care about this, I let her take a bath twice a day, what's wrong with the garbage dump, and I don't steal or rob, not to mention that the coral has used some waste things to make a few good appliances recently, hehe......"

Xingzhiwei naturally disagrees with this kind of thing for her daughter to go to the garbage dump, but the old man came from the old society, and he had a hard time back then, and he was a beggar, so he didn't mind much about this kind of thing, and his granddaughter was better than her peers in IQ and other aspects, so it was difficult to make friends with her peers, and her social circle was narrow when she was in Beijing, and although she went to school normally here, she didn't seem to be able to make any good friends, she was able to play with people, as long as she wasn't a bad person, nothing else.

Since the old man had spoken, Xing Zhiwei couldn't say anything more, and wanted to find a chance to find out who it was, no matter what, pick up the rags......

Thinking like this, the old man over there said, "So, this time I came mainly for this corpse, right?" Dissect here or ship it back? ”

"There are other things, mainly ...... When we recently studied the fruits, we discovered that a very small number of mutants with similar splitting or multiplying abilities are exceptionally strong in surviving and will try to preserve themselves even after death, and in the process, a series of splits may occur in search of new hosts. ”

"A division whose main purpose is to preserve itself?" The old man frowned, "According to the laws of nature, in this way they will not be able to retain their full consciousness, just like the broken tail of a gecko, so ......"

"We deduce that it is possible to borrow the power in this way, after their original consciousness is weakened, even if they are eaten by others, there is a mutation, it is limited, and after such a second parasitism, its original consciousness has been blurred, and even forgot the basic purpose of their coming, although the parasite will still be affected, but it is very likely that most of the original character, memory, and way of thinking will be retained, if we can control it a little, there is a great possibility to eliminate all negative factors, Only the power it contains, we have studied the artificial evolutionaries for so many years, and the breakthrough may be this step. ”

She paused, saw the old man frowning and thinking, and continued: "At present, it seems that such a thing has been discovered on the Japanese side, a few months ago Nakamura Yingda tried to contact us, hoping to restart cooperation with us and the 'boundary monument' in this regard, at present, the United States side is more inclined to open the research on 'over there', and the European side is a two-pronged approach, and we are at the forefront of the research direction of the evolutionary person who can use the fruit. ”

"The Japanese? Nakamura Yingda? ”

"Oh, Nakamura Yingda, Nakamura Yuxiang brother and sister's father is Nakamura Tsuto, Nakamura Tsutomu after the accident in China seven years ago, it was the Nakamura Yingda brothers and sisters who presided over the Polar Wheel Society, and the Japanese side currently says that they are the most outstanding evolutionaries of the young generation in East Asia."

"The sons and daughters of the Polar Wheel Society, Nakamura Tsutomu ...... I'm a little impressed when you say that, but in this regard, the Japanese can't be trusted......" The old man waved his hand, "It's not that the War of Resistance Against Japan was anything, the incident seven years ago, although Nakamura Mian seems to be neutral, but who knows what he wants to do, who is not living in the shadow of Takamagahara in Japan's supernatural organization, we don't make deals with Takamagahara now, but if we choose the Polar Wheel Society, in the end Takamagahara still has a way to intervene, Aoi Mikumi, this woman is scheming, What she has to do, who in Japan can stop it. ”

Saying the name "Aoi Miku" in his mouth, the old man's gaze slightly turned to the dark twilight outside the study window, and became a little stern: "If it weren't for her seven years ago, it wouldn't have caused nearly half of the world's supernatural beings to gather, and the 'Boundary Monument' would not have suffered such a huge loss, if it weren't for this incident...... Hmph......"

As he spoke, his fingers tapped on the table, making a thud, and after a while, he waved his hand again: "But this is a trivial matter, how to deal with it, it is still based on the current opinion of the 'boundary monument', and there is no need to mention what I said after you go back, so as not to interfere with their decision...... Let's move on to corpses. ”

"Hmm." Xingzhiwei nodded, "Originally, it would have been enough to just dispose of the corpse and transport it over, but we found something in a police investigation report, the policeman said that when the corpse was moved out, several fresh oranges were found at the same time, and they deduced that it was very likely that the corpse was disposed of in the garbage dump after a long time of decomposition, otherwise the oranges in the plastic bag that were entangled with him must have already rotted, but we wondered if this was the result of the target splitting and condensing again after he died." ”

"Have you ever found such a second-time fruit before?"

"No, the world is full of fruits, and the difficulty of tracking down the 'fruits' is too great, and in the past seven years, most of us have only been able to reverse confirm that the target has been exposed, and they have eaten the 'fruit', as for the second degree, it is only in the inference, and the 'fruit' has not been directly found."

"It has been more than twenty days since it appeared, and if it is really a fruit, it is estimated that you will not be able to find it." The old man frowned, "I'm afraid that the mutant has already appeared......"

**********************

The sky was cloudy and cloudy.

The air seemed to be a little cold and damp, and in the garbage dump, the lights illuminated some areas on the edges, and some of the light bulbs were no longer lit, so a piece of light was missing.

There are occasional black and muddy puddles on the ground, the garbage mountain is dark and silent, and no one speaks, Lan Zi squatted in the light of this area, sorting out the garbage around him, and occasionally glanced at the other side.

In another light dozens of meters away, Aunt Tang and the other six women gathered together, picking up the rags as usual, occasionally whispering a few times, and glanced at Lan Zi's side, and at a certain time a woman stopped, standing there alone as if in a daze, and in about half a minute, she followed a few people in front of her.

Lan Zi was not in the mood to pick up things today, but his luck was good, he picked up several large cardboard boxes, bundled them and put them on the tricycle, and when he looked over there again, Aunt Tang, who was blindfolded, left the small group over there and walked towards him, Lan Zi was pedaling in his heart.

The woman's figure seemed to be gradually immersed in the dark area, gradually narrowing the distance, just gradually dipping out of the darkness, the weather was a little cold, Lan Zi looked around, today's garbage dump, except for the six of them, the rest of the people seemed to be gone, occasionally the wind blew over, whimpered a few times in the empty square, the light bulb above the fence of the garbage dump was on, there were no pedestrians on the passing road outside, not even the vehicles passing by, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, seeing the woman approaching, he stood up.

"Aunt Tang?"

"Lan Zi, you...... Have you eaten oranges? ”

The woman's voice seemed to be a little weak, and asked softly, Lan Zi took a deep breath, took a step back slightly, and distanced the two of them: "No." ”

"Uh, what's the ...... What if you don't eat it? Didn't like oranges or ......"

"It's gone." Lan Zi smiled, his face was a little pale, he looked at Aunt Tang's eyes, and vaguely felt that the pupils were a little sluggish, so muddy that they were like stagnant water, and they stared at him without any ripples, "I accidentally fell on the road, and then the orange was run over by the car, there is no way, hehe......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh. After a long while, Aunt Tang nodded, and then quietly turned to leave. Lan Zi secretly calmed down, watching her dip into the darkness again, back to the small group, the six of them looked at this side, whispering for a while.

Both sides seemed to be paying attention to each other, and in such a strange atmosphere, it gradually reached ten o'clock, Lan Zi packed up his things, lowered his head and went to the water pipe to wash his hands, and then, six women also walked over to this side, talking to each other, looking like the usual scene of "getting off work" together.

When he got closer, Lan Zi turned on the faucet, and before he could lean down, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Why didn't you eat oranges?" He was full of excitement, and when he turned around, it was an aunt surnamed Deng, who was also the hottest among the aunts in the garbage dump on weekdays, she stared at Lan Zi, the distance between the two sides was less than two meters, it looked like she was going to walk straight towards Lan Zi, Lan Zi didn't know what to say for a while: "Uh......"

Next to her, Aunt Tang suddenly grabbed the hand of the woman surnamed Deng, and another person blocked Aunt Deng, several women whispered and said things that Lan Zi couldn't hear clearly, you and I said very quickly, Lan Zi just stood with his back to the water pipe, and after a while, another voice came: "Yes, why didn't you eat oranges...... Why didn't he eat oranges......"

This time it was Aunt Du, who had a relatively low tone on weekdays, with a small body, who just stood next to Lan Zi after saying it, and Aunt Tang reached out and patted her again, at this time, Lan Zi could vaguely hear the small and messy words.

"yes......"

"Don't talk about that......"

"Why ......"

"Orange ...... That orange ......"

"How did Lan Zi ......?"

"Just ask him ......"

"Don't talk about it, stop ......"

Six people, strangely mixed together, Lan Zi stood there for a moment, about to speak: "Uh, you ......"

Before his words came out, suddenly, a loud and sharp shout pierced the cool night sky, and Aunt Deng was blocked by several people, and her entire upper body suddenly poked out forward, her mouth was wide open, and her hair was scattered, like a madman:

"Why didn't you eat that orangeβ€”"

Orange –

Orange –

Orange orange

The night wind whimpered, swept the words into the sky, vaguely echoing and crashing in the entire garbage dump, and several people and women who were still talking stopped abruptly after this shout, and everyone seemed to freeze. A few seconds later, several people froze and confronted each other in the night wind, six women, all in different forms......

Lan Zi took a step back and looked at them, and even a chill began to well-up up up in his spine......
