Classes continue.

Yan Yueming squatted on the other side of the pen, carefully recalling what she had seen and heard after entering the gap, and suddenly asked, "The world in the gap...... There are no aborigines, right? In fact, there are no living people living in these houses in the first place, and there are just one rule after another? ”

Li Zheng: "Yes and no. ”

Yan Yueming was puzzled.

Li Zheng asked rhetorically: "Have you forgotten what the truth of the world is?" ”

Yan Yueming: "We are actually characters in the novel, paper people? ”

"The world of the paper man was created. It's always changing, it's always being created. The world consciousness hates that humanity is out of control, so in these crevices, it does everything it can to deprive humans of their sense of self, so that they can stay here forever and then recreate. ”

"Re-creation?"

When Yan Yueming heard these three words, she felt a little creepy inexplicably.

Li Zheng raised his hand and gently touched the mottled patterns on the wall, his eyes were full of sadness and joy, "A likes to weave, B is an old lady, they don't obey discipline, so they remove the part that is not disciplined, so C, an old lady who likes to weave, was born." She will no longer have her own unique soul, she will no longer have her own thoughts, and everything about her will become a boring setting as you can see. Maybe a long time later, there was another D, who wore black-rimmed glasses and died here and couldn't get out, so in the old lady's setting, she also wore black-framed reading glasses. ”

Yan Yueming was scared to death.

He doesn't want to become an old lady's glasses!

"What if there is a gap in the wilderness? There are no houses where no one lives! ”

"Then you become ......"

Li Zheng looked at Yan Yueming, who was squatting on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "The air-dried puppy hanging on the tree." ”

Yan Yueming was really shocked, even if the puppy was forgotten, it was still air-dried. He could also see that Li Zheng was deliberately scaring him, but he was really scared.

It's miserable.

It's really miserable.

No wonder my aunt can change from a man to a woman, and she is so optimistic, she is at least still a person!

Seeing his eyes widen, Li Zheng chuckled lightly and said, "You should be ...... Those four incompatibles are writing a fanfiction that anyone who reads it will give a bad review.,Funny.、Exaggerated.、I don't know what to do.、Bullshit.。 ”

Yan Yueming: "Hmm??? ”

As soon as she said this, the terrifying atmosphere immediately disappeared, and Yan Yueming even wanted to laugh a little. Is this the sense of humor that belongs to mature men?

Li Zheng withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket, and continued to say slowly: "World consciousness does not like any unique and free soul. If you stay here for a long time, even if you don't get physically injured, you will have mental problems, and you will gradually forget who you are, until you die here completely. People outside will also forget you, and the memories in your brain will be erased, and only in the core database of the gas phase bureau, in a special way, you can leave a record of a person's existence. But that's just a cold record, and maybe there will never be a day to be read again. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yueming remembered the conversation at the funeral home that day. He asked Li Zheng why the official version of the rule was always vague about the third major feature.

Li Zheng replied to him: Because he can't remember.

Is it true that so many people are broken in the cracks? But the people outside have forgotten about them, no one remembers, and death is as if it didn't exist.

If my aunt hadn't been rescued in the first place, would I have forgotten her?

Yan Yueming couldn't think about it, and at this moment, Li Zheng also told him: "These words, when you leave here, you will slowly forget them." The official has tried to announce everything in the cracks, but there is no way, the world consciousness is in trouble, and you will always forget. Unless—"

"Unless what?" Yan Yueming asked eagerly.

"Unless you go back and forth in the crevices many times, leaving an indelible mark on your soul that you can't forget. But this is undoubtedly a dangerous thing to do, and no one wants to live like this. ”

"So they want us to think about nothing, to know nothing...... Is that right? They will only tell us over and over again, don't break the rules, don't get into the cracks, and live your life. ”

A white lie is also a kind of kindness, and the people at the aid station will always smile and say to you: I wish you a happy life and everything is as usual.

People carefully maintained this "normality", and at this moment, a chill still rose in Yan Yueming's heart. He has lived in the upper city for 23 years, and everyone often scolds at the "phase", and he is also tired of the homophonic stalk of "gas phase bureau", as if he has the upper hand steadily, but its real horror seems to be only now revealed in front of him.

Seeing that Yan Yueming was in a trance, Li Zheng did not continue to speak, but turned around and walked back slowly. Yan Yueming subconsciously followed, and followed him back to the study.

Li Zheng's gaze stayed on the bookshelf, but he seemed to be just reading the books as if he was idle, and he didn't do anything special.

It wasn't until Yan Yueming sorted out her thoughts and looked at him again, and was about to speak, when she saw Li Zheng walk to the second bookshelf and move a brass ornament on the bookshelf.

With the sound of gears turning, the bookshelves split to the sides, revealing a passage behind them. It was a round, slide-like passage, downward.

Yan Yueming was surprised, "It's amazing, senior, how do you know that there is a secret door here?" ”

Li Zheng understated: "Look at the books on the shelves." ”

Yan Yueming looked at it again and found that in the rows and rows of books, there were many books related to organs and secret passages. This is certainly the owner's hobby, so it's no surprise that there are secret passages in this house.

The wanderer on the 11th just got the hint from the bookshelf and left down the secret passage, so he didn't leave a footprint to go down the stairs? Everything seems to make sense.

Yan Yueming thought about it carefully, and at the end, she said: "Then if the third child is not mistaken, the paper ball was indeed thrown to me by him, and it is a kind reminder." The Hobo marks on the outside of the house, will they also be left by him? He looked unkempt, as if he had been wandering here for a long time, and he should, probably know, the Hobo mark? ”

"Not sure." Li Zheng's answer surprised Yan Yueming a little, in his blind worship, Senior Li seemed to know everything.

But Senior Li noticed that there was a secret passage here early on, right? I also carefully explored all the way, and I analyzed a lot of Rory, but the result was not as good as others.

Yan Yueming's ears were a little hot, and she was very embarrassed.

Li Zheng was not embarrassed when he saw him playing hooligan early in the morning, but now he is embarrassed, which is still a little interesting. It's just that the black-rimmed glasses are so ugly, and now they're even uglier with gauze.

The optical shop in the upper city will definitely close tomorrow.

"Let's go."

The lecture continued, and Li Zheng took Yan Yueming and walked out. As he walked, he said, "Your assumption is correct, when I arrived here a week ago, the sign had not yet appeared. Remember, whether you see the mark or not, give priority to the entry and exit instructions. If there is an accident, then the matter is urgent. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yueming's eyes shone slightly.

Did he praise me? Is he praising me? Actually, I'm doing a good job, right?

Li Zheng glanced at him, and looked away ruthlessly. The two of them soon reached the corner of the stairs, where there was also a window where they could see the light on 9 next door.

"Tell me." Li Zheng stopped again, "What do you see?" ”

Yan Yueming looked carefully, and with a distance of more than ten meters plus the curtains, he actually couldn't see anything. However, he could recount his previous findings, focusing on his own observations of the rear compartment.

Li Zheng didn't expect Yan Yueming to observe so carefully, for a person who entered the gap for the first time, or was alone in a panic and scared situation, he had already done far more than most people.

"I went to the 9th just now." Li Zheng said.

"So you have those yarns?" Yan Yueming reacted. He said, how could Senior Li carry wool and crochet in his pocket.

But at this moment, Li Zheng asked him, "Who is Xiaohong?" ”

Yan Yueming was stuck.

If I say it's you, would you do it?

Yan Yueming thought that he was unwilling, so he honestly told him how he left the note, what his plans were, and what he wanted. Li Zheng said: "Then go and verify it." ”

"Verify?" Yan Yueming was puzzled, but Li Zheng had already left, so he had to follow.

The two left No. 11 and did not go in the direction of No. 9, but in the direction of No. 13, all the way south along the asphalt road, to the location of the red car.

"Turn it on." Li Zheng said.

How to open? Do you open it with your bare hands?

Yan Yueming saw that Li Zheng didn't look like she wanted help, and walked around the car several times, feeling at a loss where to start. It's like scratching your head, scratching a head of gauze, and suddenly remembering that you are still injured, and your mouth hurts when you touch the wound.

He couldn't help but look at Li Zheng, who was watching with his arms crossed.

Handsome is really handsome.

Yan Yueming hurriedly looked away, allowing herself to focus all her attention on the car. Eventually, he found a broken steel pipe to make a crowbar, and finally pried open the deformed rear compartment with a corner of the milk.

He still pry with his eyes closed when he pryed, and when the "crunch" sound sounded and the car lid was finally pried open, he carefully opened one eye and looked over and found several of the most common red plastic bags. The bag was a little broken, it contained the chickens and ducks that had been killed, and blood was oozing out.

It turned out to be chickens and ducks.

Yan Yueming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a human corpse.

"Now answer me, what is your judgment?" Li Zheng's voice came from behind.

"Did I misunderstand them? A family of three, maybe coming back from visiting relatives in the city, and then coming back with some free-range chickens and ducks to eat? "That's the most logical guess.

Li Zheng stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Yan Yueming. Yan Yueming was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was going to take a crowbar, so he immediately handed it over.

I saw Li Zheng turning over in the back compartment with a crowbar, turning over the chickens and ducks and turning them over, and he also leaned over to look into the deformed carriage, but he still kept a certain distance, not letting the dust and blood stain him even a little.

Finally, he threw away the crowbar, patted the non-existent ash on his hand, and said, "This rear carriage has been loaded with something else before." ”

Yan Yueming was puzzled and curious, "What? ”

Li Zheng: "People. ”

Yan Yueming chuckled in her heart.

Li Zheng: "The chicken and duck are just a trick, it should be after throwing the corpse, I am afraid that the blood in it will not have time to clean up and arouse suspicion, so I bought some other meat and put it in." There are nail scratches on the inner walls of the carriage, and there are bloody fingerprints, and animals do not have human fingers. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yueming took a closer look at the place where Li Zheng had rummaged just now, and sure enough, she found a clue. In this way, his previous instinct was not wrong, and there was something wrong with the family of three!

"So what do we do now?" Yan Yueming asked.

"There is only one reason why the consciousness of the world kills, but there are a thousand reasons why people kill. Do you think it's scary, or is it scary? Li Zheng asked rhetorically.

Yan Yueming didn't have an answer, he was just an ordinary Xiao Ming, how could he think of such an esoteric question? He shook his head truthfully, "I don't know. ”

At this moment, the third child appeared. The 12th, where he was, was not far from here, and he ran over with a reluctant face, and muttered, "Hell, it's really in class......

Li Zheng glanced over, he was honest again, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "The family of three on the 9th is here, the little girl is having a fever, please ask us to help." I've seen it, and it's really burning so badly that people are a little confused. ”

He looked at Li Zheng, and Li Zheng looked at Yan Yueming again, "You say, do you want to help?" ”

"Help." Yan Yueming didn't hesitate.

He is not a saint, he does not have a particularly high moral level, and if something happened to that couple, maybe he would have hesitated. But it was the little girl who had the fever, so the little child was innocent, and if he didn't help, he wouldn't be able to sleep in the future.

"How can I help?" Li Zheng asked calmly: "I haven't found a way to the outside world yet, and I can't seek medical treatment in time, what should I do?" ”

Yan Yueming frowned and thought deeply, then had a flash of inspiration and said, "No. 2!" Number 2 is marked with 'There is a free doctor', and there may be fever reducers in there! ”

Li Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then you go to No. 2 to get medicine?" ”

Yan Yueming: "Me? ”

Li Zheng: "Aren't you going to help?" ”

Yan Yueming's eyes widened, and the black-framed glasses couldn't hide it. He turned his head to look at the third child, "That couple, the woman hurt her leg, and the man only hurt one arm, right?" That's the 4th shot. ”

The third: "That's right." ”

Yan Yueming: "Dad saves his daughter, shouldn't Dad go?" Ask him, will he go? His leg wasn't hurt, so if he didn't want to go, why would he call us for help? Isn't fatherly love great? I can't do it, I haven't been a father, I really can't do it alone. No. 4 will shoot a gun, and Xiao Ming will die with one shot......"

He chattered and Rory was chattering, and successfully made the third child laugh, ignoring Li Zheng's murderous gaze, he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Hahahaha Boss Li, where did you find the junior brother, it's wonderful." ”

Li Zheng coldly brushed his hand away, "You're very happy?" ”

The third child was just right, made a gesture of zipping his mouth, and then spread his hands.

"Grab what's in the back compartment." Li Zheng said, looked at Yan Yueming again, met his expectant gaze, and said, "You go back and say what you just said to that man again." ”

Yan Yueming was a little worried, "Will he beat me?" ”

Li Zheng was interested, "Don't worry, I'm covering you." ”
