He recognized me.

Yan Yueming thought so, and quickly came back to her senses. The rules of that day were actually not very bizarre, such as stepping into the company with the left foot first, and the rain in Dongcheng District, all of which were very low-level, and at worst, they were to find a new job, and there was no need for the search and rescue team to take action. The danger level of the limit number is higher, after all, on the road, even if there are no rules, it is possible to get into a car accident. There is also the one at the north gate of the three courtyards...... It seemed the most dangerous of all the rules that day.

He looked at Gate 8 again, someone died, is it the search and rescue team?

Through his sunglasses, Li Zheng saw his hand holding the strap of the backpack suddenly tightened, and asked, "What is the third major feature of the rules?" ”

Yan Yueming replied reflexively: "There are gaps in the rules. ”

Li Zheng: "Go on." ”

Yan Yueming pondered the words for a moment and continued to answer: "Self-consciousness and world consciousness collide to produce a big bang. The Big Bang blew the world's foundational rules to pieces, and new rules were born to fill in. There are always gaps in the patches, and there are occasional gaps between patches that are not filled. Specifically, a door that does not exist, a road that does not exist, and so on. If you enter, you do so at your own risk. ”

There's an open secret in Pu Box.

Yan Yueming's aunt turned out to be her uncle.

My uncle broke the rules when he went out one day, and that rule was that all toilets in the city follow universal principles, men on the left and women on the right, no matter what kind of signs you see, remember not to go in the wrong direction. Don't. 】

He followed the sign, went wrong, and there was an extra "6th room" in the toilet that was originally only 5 compartments. He walked in, and the man was gone, and by the time he was rescued, it was too late.

The brother-in-law became the sister-in-law.

My aunt is very optimistic, and he even feels that he is a woman from beginning to end.

The only fortunate thing is that he was only a teenager at the time, and he didn't have a girlfriend yet, let alone married.

Oh no, it's her now.

Xiao Ming's grandfather told Xiao Ming's father, and Xiao Ming's father told Xiao Ming that he had to follow the rules, and the Lao Yan family couldn't afford a bigger blow.

Speaking of this, Yan Yueming had a doubt. In the past, he didn't think about it, he just wanted to be an ordinary person who followed the rules, not a person who asked why, but now-

"Senior, there are three major characteristics of the rules, why are the first two characteristics explained in detail, for fear that we will step on the thunder and make mistakes, but the third article is so vague?"

The three characteristics of the rules, the first rule is regionally distributed, and the second rule will change, these two are familiar to everyone, even three-year-old children know, but only the third one, everyone only knows that entering the gap is a terrible thing, but how it is, the gas phase bureau never goes into detail, and everyone rarely asks.

Including aunts.

Li Zheng: "Because of a waste of tongue." ”

Yan Yueming: "Why? ”

Li Zheng: "I can't remember. ”

Yan Yueming was alert, and in the three cold words of "can't remember", there seemed to be some unknown and terrifying truth hidden.

Without waiting for him to ask, Li Zheng continued: "The gap is through. I went in at the north gate of the Third Courtyard and got out of the pool. If in the outside world, human beings can still have the upper hand with gas phase forecasting, then in the gap, it is its home field, and it is easy to enter and difficult to get out. ”

Yan Yueming's heart was sure enough.

Li Zheng suddenly tested him again, "What should you do if you encounter such a situation?" ”

Yan Yueming looked at him, tugging at the strap of her backpack, and tentatively said a conventional answer, "Looking for an exit?" ”

"When you're stuck in a swamp, struggling will only make you die faster." Li Zheng said.

Yan Yueming felt that the tone and expression of what he said were the same as when he was marking the papers that day, which made the teacher ascend to Bliss early, which made people feel furious. So he was immediately well-behaved and smiled purely, "Okay." ”

This "good" was exceptionally crisp, so that Li Zheng couldn't help but glance at him, met his heavy black-rimmed glasses, and instantly looked away indifferently.

How can these glasses be so ugly?

Is the opticians in the upper city going to close down?

If you don't go out of business today, you will go out of business tomorrow.

Li Zheng thought viciously, but his face was still very calm, "For ordinary people, as long as they don't die, waiting for rescue is the way with the highest rescue rate." The Search and Rescue Department and the Inspection Department of the Gas Phase Bureau both wear orange-red uniforms, but the cuffs and neckline of the Search and Rescue Department have silver edges. ”

Yan Yueming: "What we usually see on the road seems to be from the inspection department?" ”

The Patrol Department, as the name suggests, is responsible for patrolling the city. "Gas Forecast" is not a panacea, they exist to check and fill in the gaps for the monitoring and broadcasting department, find anomalies in the city, and report them.

At the same time, if someone is in danger, you can notify the search and rescue department to save people.

The aid station is relatively independent, and it belongs to the gas phase bureau after the completion of this set of processes, which is used for aftermath.

Li Zheng: "The one just now is the team leader of the fourth detachment of the Search and Rescue Department, and the master who took him is the teacher's junior brother. ”

Yan Yueming nodded, it turns out that there is still this relationship. The people in the search and rescue department are usually uncommon, and it is estimated that they all went to the gap to rescue, and today is definitely a special situation, so Senior Li called him over so that he could see it with his own eyes?

What to see?

Look at life and death?

Yan Yueming looked at the people guarding the door of No. 8 from a distance, and her mood was a little complicated. This is the same as when he heard that the broadcast department was actually the most dangerous department in the gas phase bureau that day, maybe many things are not unknown to ordinary people, but they have not thought about it.

My aunt used to laugh and ridicule, and life can't stand up to careful thinking.

"Alas...... Life is so hard. Yan Yueming couldn't help but sigh, and even forgot that Li Zheng was still beside her. But when the words were spoken, he couldn't take it back, and then reversed his image in the senior's heart, so he simply broke the jar and broke it.

"My father used to tell me that the real awakening is only after death. He will wake up in the real world, where there are not so many strange rules, he can walk freely on the streets without foul play, he can eat whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to worry. I know he lied to me. ”

It's a pity that he didn't look like his father was looking for, neither brave enough to face all the truths of life, nor naïve enough to believe some lies.

Dirty words don't scold, lies can't be told, and nothing can be achieved in twenty-three years.

But at this time, Li Zheng asked him: "Why don't you believe it?" ”

Yan Yueming looked up at him, "Isn't that obviously a deception to a child?" I've grown up. ”

Li Zheng: "You grew up, but you never died." ”

Yan Yueming: "......"

Li Zheng looked at him with wide-eyed eyes and a confused look, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's really easy to deceive." ”

Yan Yueming: "Senior! ”

Li Zheng turned around and left.

Yan Yueming hurriedly caught up, "Senior, where are you going?" ”

Li Zheng didn't answer, he walked straight to a heavy locomotive in the parking lot, took off his helmet and threw it to Yan Yueming. Yan Yueming took it with both hands, so it didn't fall short, and then look at the locomotive, black, very cool, it was a boy's eyes would light up when he saw it.

"Get in the car." Li Zheng stepped on the body and assembled the locomotive in the west, indescribably handsome.

Yan Yueming hugged the helmet, her heart beating wildly. But he can't be blamed for this, he doesn't want to, so he hurriedly put on a helmet to cover his face, but he was almost stuck in black-rimmed glasses.

After a hurry, Yan Yueming finally put on her helmet and sat on the back seat of the locomotive, looking at Li Zheng in front of her, reaching out to help, not helping.

Li Zheng turned the handlebar, the roar of the locomotive sounded, and he turned around, "Do you want to come here for the second time?" ”

What are you doing?

The first time I watched someone else's funeral, the second time I went to my own funeral.

Yan Yueming immediately couldn't care about being embarrassed, reached out and grabbed Li Zheng's clothes, and grabbed them tightly.

The locomotive roared away, and the wind in the city above was full of the smell of spring. From the North City Funeral Parlor, there is Lakeside Avenue, where willow leaves flutter on the trestle bridge by the lake, and many people are fishing.

A patrol boat is cruising on the lake, and the loudspeaker plays a loop of the gas forecast, alerting visitors to the lakeside to pay attention to the time. The road in Beicheng will be closed this afternoon, and there will be danger on the road.

But it was afternoon, and it's still morning, isn't it?

"Don't be in a hurry for this moment!" The anglers by the lake always have a super mentality.

A crowd of people was laughing.

However, Yan Yueming knew that when the time came, these people would run faster than rabbits. Because his dad used to be a fisherman.

Blowing in the wind, his mood couldn't help but fly a little.

Li Zheng drove him all the way, and they did not rush to leave Beicheng, but drove along Lakeside Avenue and followed a patrol car.

The topic of today's lesson is "Seeing and Hearing".

Yan Yueming was like a little follower, following Li Zheng to stop and go, and he suddenly found that the upper city was very large, much bigger than he had thought before.

In the past, Yan Yueming was very well-behaved, when he went to school, he was two points and one line at school and at home, and when he went to work, he was two points and one line between the company and his family, he never ran around, never looked around, he wanted to be a person who didn't need others to worry about, and didn't cause trouble to others, but this period of life was Waterloo at the moment when he stepped into the company with his left foot.

In fact, he has always been unhappy in his heart.

He has worked so hard, he never causes trouble to others, and he lives every day seriously, what else does the world want from him? To take the exam, especially the compilation of the gas phase bureau, there is no gambling and unwilling mentality in it.

But now, after three days of classes, he began to rethink-

Maybe it would be nice to make a little change.

So Xiao Ming changed his screen name to "Variety Xiao Ming", and gave his long grass doll a very punk haircut, and named it "Little Green".

This symbolizes a change of mindset, after all, life needs a little sense of ritual.

I don't know if Yan Yueming's sense of ritual is too strong, so that the world consciousness perceives it, and that night, something happened suddenly.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Yan Yueming was still dreaming, and suddenly, a piercing alarm bell woke him up.

"What are you doing...... he rubbed his head before he could react, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly woke up, staring at the alarm on the ceiling with wide eyes. It is the standard equipment of the vapor phase in every household.

The alarm bell is ringing!

Ten seconds later, the familiar anchor's voice appeared in every house in the upper city.

"Here's a look at today's gas phase for you."

"Number one: If you see any child's crying or laughing under your bed, ignore it. Don't look, remember, don't look. ”

"Rule 2: Please keep the indoor lights on from 0:00 to 6:00, and if it goes out unexpectedly and cannot be lit again, leave immediately and go to a place with light."

"Article 3: There is no Xiangshan North Road in the city, and when you see the street sign, you will immediately turn around."

"Rule 4: Don't look in the mirror. If you notice anything unusual in the mirror, wash your eyes with an onion immediately. ”

"Article 5: No umbrellas."

"Article 6: Do not answer any strange call starting with 4."

……

"To be continued."

"In case of any emergency, please call the hotline at 66666. Thank you for your cooperation and wish you a happy life and all business as usual. ”

Special rules, mandatory notification.

Yan Yueming got up from the bed, turned on the light, walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked out, and the lights of the city were rushing towards him in an instant.

The alley was lively.

Uncle Wang in the next building began to scold the street again, and his broken gong voice was particularly iconic. Yan Yueming can completely understand his mood, because generally speaking, although the daily gas phase forecast changes, the change will not be particularly large, at least it will last for a few days before there will be a big change.

This cycle is about a week.

But tonight is obviously not, it directly made a big one, the rules are cumbersome and infiltrating, and there is even a "to be continued" at the end. This indicates that there may be rules that have not been detected and need to be supplemented later.

This is extremely unfriendly to social animals.

Oh yes, I'm not a social animal now.

Yan Yueming comforted herself in countless scolding voices, and turned around to call her aunt. But the sound of "beep, beep, beep......" continued to sound, and the aunt did not answer for a long time. He couldn't help but worry, wondering if the rules of the outer city had also changed drastically.

Is Auntie okay? It's only past twelve o'clock, she shouldn't have slept yet, right? The nightlife has just begun.

Yan Yueming called her aunt's phone over and over again, but no one answered. Sometimes the rules will affect the communication signal, and it is normal that it cannot be reached, it may be that there is a problem on his side, or it may be on the aunt's side, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

He turned to the Internet to search the current situation in the outer city to see if there was any news.

At this moment, a wisp of baby sobbing came faintly from the direction under the bed. Like a kitten, it was very slight, but it reached his ears like a cool breeze.

Yan Yueming looked up at the lamp, the light was on, and there was no abnormality for the time being.

Be calm, be calm.

Yan Yueming took a deep breath, turned on the light of her phone, and walked out of the room quietly.

He walked all the way, turned on the lights all the way, until the lights in all the rooms in the house were turned on, he went to the room where there was no unusual room for the time being, changed into civilian clothes, and then chose to stay in the living room without a bed, and collected a bunch of candles, luminous bracelets, traffic sticks, etc., some of which were placed on his body, and some of which were placed within reach, in case of emergency.

Of course, the most indispensable thing is the emergency kit, the style of a backpack, which stores a certain amount of daily necessities, even if the rules now say that the doomsday escape will begin, everyone can stay outside for at least ten days and a half.

In this strange world, everyone is a survival expert.

Time passed slowly, and Yan Yueming was the only one in the family, so he didn't dare to sleep, and he couldn't sleep. Sitting on the sofa in the living room to inquire about the news outside the city, I checked and checked, but I didn't see anything special.

Fortunately, at a little after half past twelve, my aunt's phone finally got through, and both parties confirmed that they were safe.

My aunt heard his voice on the phone and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Can you be alone?" ”

Yan Yueming looked at the brightly lit city outside the window again, listened to the scolding voices of the other residents in the alley, and the sound of sirens whistling by, hugged the pillows, tried to stabilize her mind, and then nodded, "I can." ”
