46 Strange Cottage (5)
The solemnity of these words makes it easy to ignore his age of only 14 years old. However, his tone became relaxed again in an instant, and said, "You probably don't understand, why does the senior still keep drilling into the cracks even though he doesn't serve in the Gas Phase Bureau, right?" β
Yan Yueming blinked, "Isn't it for us to give us a lesson?" β
As soon as the words fell, Yan Yueming figured out what was wrong. Teacher Li Heping began to accept apprentices for no more than a year, and the senior is already 28 years old, how long has he helped the teacher teach students?
And so many years before that?
Wen Renjing said: "He chases those unknown truths in the cracks. β
Yan Yueming muttered, "Unknown...... The truth? β
He seemed to understand. Some people die in the cracks, and maybe not all of them are the work of world consciousness, just like the man who suddenly appeared just now - if someone dies at his hands and is forgotten by the real world because of the nature of the gap, then the truth of his death will never be discovered.
Perhaps the database of the gas phase bureau cannot fully record the traces of everyone's existence. Because the world is too big.
"Pretty surprising, isn't it? The opportunity for the senior to open a flower shop is actually because of a trip to chase the murderer through a gap. He saves a man who asks him to bring a bouquet of flowers to his lover. "Wen Ren Jing said.
"Have the flowers arrived?" Yan Yueming asked.
"That person was saved with his last breath and finally died in the cracks, and his lover had already died of cancer in the real world. The senior eventually brought the flower to her tombstone. β
Hearing this, Yan Yueming couldn't help but look up at the ceiling. There was still a faint sound of fighting upstairs, "bang, bang" It was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
His senior is upstairs.
At the same time, downstairs in the living room.
The sound of the door lock opening broke the silence, the door opened, and the whirring evening breeze mixed with wind and snow poured into the house. Standing in front of the gramophone, he didn't look back, changed a record, and then slowly put the stylus on, and the soothing and gentle music flowed again in the room.
"Good evening, dear sir."
"Good evening, Ondin."
The visitor, known as Ondin, was a petite man with black fur and a small silver-white flat head, walking upright on all fours like a human, and wearing a hairpin top hat crookedly on his head.
The conversation continues.
"Where are you from?"
"Blizzard."
"Do you see the Red Boat?"
"It has just passed over the glacier, sir, and the ship is brightly lit, and a red thread has been attached to the hooligans. They seem to be on their way to Hudi. β
"Good." Listening to the soothing music, the bird was in a good mood and talked more.
"I say that humans are naΓ―ve, but they always don't believe it, and they must be complacent about the loss of my strength now, right? However, over the years, I have indeed learned a truth from human beings, that is, to be a human being, you still have to use your brain. β
"They seem to be looking up who the main character is? It's funny. β
"I didn't think about why a gap that I had never found before would suddenly appear? All of them are like heroes who want to kill me, and I think they are smart. β
"The protagonist? Even if they did, it wouldn't help them at all. β
"Who would have thought it was a dog?"
"Hahaha......"
Halfway through the laughter, his face was expressionless for a moment, and the speed of his face change was comparable to turning a book, "Speaking of which, I hate this world more than humans." It conceived me, but it also told me that the protagonist of this world was a fucking dog. β
He gritted his teeth when he said it, "It's a stupid fucking dog that only barks wildly." β
"Shouldn't I be angry?" He asked softly.
Undin did not reply, it stood there in silence with its head bowed, its buttoned eyes looking at the carpet. If you look closely, you can see that the stitches at the junction of its neck and shoulders have begun to loosen, and a trace of yellowish cotton wool has emerged from it.
The duck didn't seem to expect any answer, and he laughed again, "The gap is a good place, let them stay here, dog-eat-dog, hair-eat-dog...... Oh no, people beat people, beat people to death. β
He seemed to be humored by himself, and chuckled again, "I have to go." β
After speaking, he turned around and left.
The door opened again, straightened his clothes, and took the initiative to walk into the snowstorm. The melodious music was still flowing behind him, and he walked neither in a hurry nor slowly, but only for a moment, the asphalt road outside was already covered with snowflakes.
Suddenly, a gunshot pierced through the snow.
"Bang!" The bullet grazed the brim of the donkey's hat and hit the asphalt, sending snowflakes flying. If it hadn't been for the duck to hide fast enough, it would have been shot. His eyes were cold, and he looked back slightly, his face without a mask was hidden in the shadow of the night and the brim of his hat, mysterious.
This time, instead of talking nonsense, he kept his back to him and nodded at him. The corners of the mouth were even hooked upward, full of cold mockery.
He was responded to by the sound of "bang, bang" gunshots.
The bullet pierced the night sky, hitting the heart of the bird, but it pierced through in an instant. Li Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, and saw the figure of the duck dissipate like smoke, and disappeared in place in an instant.
On the second floor, Yan Yueming also heard gunshots outside, but the room they were in was not facing the asphalt road, so they didn't know what was going on, they could only see that it was suddenly snowing outside.
After a while, Li Zheng returned.
He returned the way he came from the window, jumped into his body, and landed handsomely. Wen Renjing caught a glimpse of the gun pinned to his waist, this gun belonged to the man just now, and now it appeared on Li Zheng's body, it was clear who won and who lost, but for the sake of safety, he still asked, "How is it?" β
Li Zheng smiled, meaning unclear, "Donkey."
Ran. β
Yan Yueming was stunned, "Didn't he want to kill me?" I'm not dead yet, why did he run away? β
Wen Renjing had been pacing in the room thinking since just now, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred, "Oops, does he have any other arrangements in the real world?" β
As long as you have a clue
It's a quick thing to figure out your thoughts. Wen Renjing continued: "Now a large number of people in the strongest team and the fourth team of the search and rescue department are dragged in the gaps, because the communication is isolated, even if something happens in the city, it will not be able to contact for a while. The Yan team is still in the upper city, but the search and rescue department will definitely pay close attention to the movement on Huayuan Road, and once they learn that we are gone, they will definitely send people to look for us in the cracks. When the time comes, there will be fewer people in the city. β
Yan Yueming's heart froze, "Is this still a plan?" Turning the tiger away from the mountain? Give the dummy? β
Wen Renjing nodded solemnly, "I have to admit that although the strength of the donkey has weakened, he seems to have become more insidious and scheming than the previous two times." β
At this time, Li Zheng said slowly: "I have become more like a person." β
Yan Yueming was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. Becoming more like a person means that the way of thinking and acting are more human-like?
Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Senior, are you...... Guessed it? Wen Renjing also hurriedly looked over, only to see Li Zheng look at the wind and snow outside the window, and did not answer directly, but asked him rhetorically: "What do you think your parents are busy with when they are not at home all day?" β
Without waiting for Ren Jing to answer, he said: "The world of adults is like this, full of deceit. β
Yan Yueming's spirit was shocked, and he remembered that Wen Renjing's parents were all working in the Gas Phase Bureau.
On the other side, the gas phase bureau.
Su Xunzhi came out of the broadcast studio, handed the manuscript and water cup in his hand to the assistant, took the coat in his hand and put it on, and said "thank you" as usual. He will always be like this, whether he is facing a high-level member of the command or an ordinary staff member, he will be treated equally. So even within the gas phase bureau, he has a super high popularity.
"Anchor Su has worked hard."
In a stack of greetings, he kept a smile and left the broadcast department, and the assistant quickly followed him to report today's affairs to him, "Recently, during the holidays, the gifts sent by fans to the gas phase bureau have increased several times. Although it has been repeatedly stated that it will not accept gifts, it still can't be stopped. I just follow the old rule, leave the letters, and send the rest to the aid station? β
Su Xunzhi nodded and walked into the elevator without stopping. The broadcasting department was on the upper floor, he took the elevator down, walked through the rest area, waited in the corridor for a while, and saw Yan Fei.
"Team Yan stays." Su Xunzhi stopped him.
"You're here to find me?" Yan Fei stopped, looked at him suspiciously, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you know about Garden Road?" β
Su Weizhi: "Got it. β
Yan Fei: "To tell you the truth, you came to me specifically because you couldn't trust my professional ability?" β
"Nope." Su Xunzhi pushed his glasses, "I hope that Team Yan will stay in Shangcheng and not go to them." β
Yan Fei's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Do you think the bird will kill a horse pistol?" β
Su Xunzhi smiled, "Team Yan is smart. β
The assistant was a little surprised when he was listening, Su Xun saw it, waved his hand and asked him to withdraw first, and then made a "please" gesture with Yan Fei. Yan Fei frowned and paused for two seconds, then walked away with him.
The two came to the coffee bar in the rest area alone, Su Xunzhi ordered a cup of caramel macchiato familiarly, and looked at Yan Fei again, "I remember Team Yan drinking ice American?" β
Yan Fei shrugged, acquiescing, but he was a little surprised. He thought that Su Xunzhi always looked like an elite, like a person who always wore a mask on his face, and the standard configuration was also Bing American.
Su Xunzhi seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I like to drink something sweet." β
Yan Fei didn't speak again, and when the waiter in the logistics department was ready, he took the coffee and sat down with Su Xunzhi at the small white round table in the corner. There's only one reason he's drinking Ice American, it's bitter enough to refresh him.
Su Weizhi cut to the chase, "In the first half of the night, Li Zheng made a phone call with me. β
Yan Fei raised his eyebrows, "Oh? β
Su Weizhi: "The people sent to the cracks still can't be taken back, and it's the best policy to be virtual and real." This is also what Vice Minister Wenren meant. β
Yan Fei: "The vice minister's own son fell into it together. β
Su Xunzhi: "Compared to the safety of a few people, it's obviously more important than the upper city, isn't it?" β
Yan declined to comment.
At the same time, there was another knock on the door of the strange hut.
Wen Renjing walked over quickly, and put his ear to the door to distinguish carefully. At the end, he turned around and exchanged glances with Li Zheng and Yan Yueming, cleared his throat, and asked cautiously, "Who?" β
He was answered by an unfamiliar male and female voice, "Hello, I'm Ondin." β
Ondin?!
Yan Yueming remembered the rules, there was no doll named "Ang Ding" in the strange hut. But the message from Wanderer No. 11 said: Ondin is coming back, run.
The rules do change.
At this time, Li Zheng moved, he walked to the door, and Wen Renjing automatically gave up his position. Yan Yueming's little animal instinct was on the line, but this time it was not Ang Ding outside, but Li Zheng, because he naturally put his hand on the doorknob, as if he was going to open the door in the next second.
"Senior?" Yan Yue Minggou shivered behind her.
"This is about to open?" Wen Renjing on the side also expressed surprise.
"The birds are gone." Li Zheng looked a little careless, the wind that poured in from the broken window blew his hair, he looked at the two juniors slightly, as if he remembered that they were one younger and the other level, so he pulled out his gun unhurriedly, "Is there still a problem?" β
Yan Yueming suddenly remembered that his senior was a ruthless man who dared to jump into the water to remove the moon hijab.
