Chapter II
Sunlight shines through the cracks in the leaves, scattering mottled fragments, and the blue sky is baptized by a heavy rain, erecting a rainbow like a mist, and the light gauze covers the sky, and the blue is like a watercolor painting.
This is the morning in Tokyo, Japan. Busy office workers don't have time to look up and enjoy the scenery, and the busy street market is mixed with migrant workers catching the subway and students in uniform, and the traffic starts to crowd.
In the restaurant, the two sat by the window, Qin Fan looked out the window with emotion, and exhaled slightly: I obviously said that I would take her and Lingling to Japan for a vacation, but I didn't expect to come in advance in this situation...... He looked at the young man sitting opposite, with mixed feelings, and finally couldn't help asking, "Why did you think that I would definitely come to you?"
"Because cracking irreversible code requires someone who understands rainlechen by my side, my current strength is not complete, and there may be a loss of control. Rainle replied, "Even if you don't come, I'll look for you." ”
"There is also Kitahara Xiu who also knows code, it stands to reason that he should be more trustworthy than me, right?" Qin Fan asked.
"Beiyuan Shu won't help me. He said.
"How do you know, what is the basis for judgment?" Qin Fan began to be curious, could it be that he could think about problems as emotionally as a human being?
"I don't know. There was no emotion in the boy's eyes, but he seemed to be trying his best to think, and in the end he still didn't come up with an answer, "It's just...... In this way, he wouldn't want to help me crack the irreversible code. ”
Oh? Qin Fan saw Rainle's rare hesitation for a second, he didn't know why he thought so, did his actions already precede his brain? Isn't this the way of thinking emotionally? But this guy obviously didn't even have emotions...... The original Rainle, as sure as to the scum they made, was infinitely close to humans.
"What is that irreversible code you are talking about?" Qin Fan put his ten fingers on the table, he wanted to know why Beiyuan Xiu was reluctant to help him, what was the reason for this? As a rain experimenter, he had never had a way to understand the difference between the original rain and the code they mastered, no matter how he did it, he couldn't make them self-aware and actionable, and now it seemed that this irreversible code was the key factor.
Rainle said, "The irreversible code was added by my creator, and once it is activated, the original magnet data will be limited and its capabilities will be weakened. ”
"Restricted?" Qin Fan pondered, "So now your strength is the strength of being restricted?" "My God, this is already very strong, if the irreversible code is lifted, then ......
"My abilities are even more limited now than they were a year ago, because after the separation of the surrogate, the irreversible code protection mechanism was activated, causing some of my original abilities to be sealed in the surrogate, which is why I had to come with you. ”
"You can't control your power anymore?" he asked.
Rainle nodded. "What are the mothballed powers? I need to know where you are before I can think about my next move. Qin Fan said that he couldn't be wiped out by the organization in vain, at least he had to ensure the safety of his life, and Rainle's ability was indispensable.
"Space moves, reading thoughts are sealed, and programs that can balance the forces in the body stop running. ”
After hearing this, Qin Fan pressed his forehead and slowly spoke: "In other words, it is strong and weak, right?"
"Yes. ”
"Not only that, but before getting on the plane, there was another Rainle following us, and if his power hadn't been blocked, then he would have been able to track it here, right?"
"Yes. ”
"Listen, Rainle, I don't care what you have to do with that Rainle......" he stared at the teenager in front of him, "I don't care if it's any irreversible code cracking, I just want you to keep me safe and get to my destination, understand?"
"I see. The boy said.
That day, after unraveling the code left by Nanichiro Yama, only Rainle could see the code in a blank space - it was a sound wave that told him that the irreversible code cracking code was stored underneath a small mountain village in Fukuoka, Japan.
It was the only straw that Nanichiro Yama left behind to destroy the monster his grandfather had created.
"After cracking the code, will you regain your full strength?" Qin Fan asked.
"No, I'll initiate the self-destruct program. ”
The boy said this to him when he was on the plane.
After eating breakfast, Qin Fan spread out the map, drew circles with his fingers, and muttered in his mouth: "From Tokyo to Fukuoka, take the Shinkansen to Echigo-Yuzawa, transfer to the limited express to Takaoka, and then transfer to the Hokuriku Main Line, which is already the fastest route...... Now you can't teleport, otherwise it's more convenient. ”
"Let's go, try to get there early. He stood up, and the two of them left the restaurant and took the tram to change lines. As soon as he walked to the station, the young man let out a soft "ah" in the crowd and stood still, Qin Fan, who was looking at the map behind him, slammed into it and almost stumbled, and looked down in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
A strong electric current pierced his heart like a sharp sword, and he shuddered violently, even more violently than the one before he got on the plane. Before he could react, another electric current hit him stronger than before, and this time he quickly turned around and looked around the subway station, and everyone didn't let go.
It wasn't just a kind of induction anymore, it was so strong that it made him tremble...... It's killing intent, killing intent that is close at hand.
"Let's go. As soon as Rainle grabbed Qin Fan's wrist and walked into the tram, Qin Fan was dragged by him to the center of gravity unstable, hit several people in a row, and kept saying "I'm sorry", finally squeezed into the car through the sea of office workers, Qin Fan finally let out a breath, and then asked, "What's wrong with you......?"
"He's already coming along, and there's no time. Rainle's voice was hurried, and his face turned to the slowly moving window, and at this moment, the cold and sharp murderous aura followed the moving tram like a shadow, gradually approaching. And he rolled his eyes, where? In the back carriage? On the roof?
Roof!
"Bang!!" There was a loud bang, the metal skin was pierced from top to bottom, the electric light was punctured, and the fragments were scattered in the carriage, accompanied by the screams and panic of the passengers, and a person fell from the large hole in the top of his head, raised his head in the debris, looked at Rainle with an elusive cold smile, and said, "Meet again......"
The same boy figure, similar cold expression, like a replica, everyone in the carriage avoided them in horror, and from time to time there were continuous screams, but the boy who entered from the top was deaf, he snapped his wrist, and suddenly it was like lightning
A punch slammed into Rainle, and the woman in the back row exclaimed, only to see the metal handrail next to it twist into a "V" shape, and after a blow from his head down, Rainle approached the boy from the bottom and pierced his abdomen with one hand, and blood splattered out.
"Hahahahe......" The boy holding his stomach laughed weirdly, but the blood flowing out in the next second quickly dried up, and the blood hole that was pierced began to heal rapidly.
Qin Fan watched from the side, his eyes widened at this time: This is another monster with the same level as Rainle?!
"Rainle, it's all thanks to you. The young man's eyes flashed with cold light, and he grabbed the handrail next to him, and the pole instantly rose from the ground, he grabbed the long pole and stabbed at Rainle, Rainle did not dodge a few fingers against the pole and pressed towards the other party, the pole began to dissolve in his hand, turning into a pile of liquid dripping on the ground, the two fingers approached the boy's forehead, and when he was about to pierce, the boy grabbed the other party's hand and twisted it, the arm twisted up like a twisted flower, but Rainle still continued to approach expressionlessly, tearing off the boy's left arm, and bounced on the ground several times in a row with the root of the bone, rolling down to the ground in the back seatEveryone stared at the severed arm with blue faces, helpless and trembling in the corner, almost fainting with fright, the arm was connected with minced flesh and blood foam, and the young man grew a new arm, and those people witnessed the scene of the two monsters tearing each other, tearing and regenerating......
The young man grabbed Rainle's neck with one hand, looked at him coldly, and said, "Your strength is far less than the feeling I gave me before, is it getting weaker again?"
"Then I should be able to kill you now. There was no emotion in his eyes, like a piece of ice. As soon as the power in his hand was suddenly retracted, Rainle screamed softly, Qin Fan saw that his body was trembling, was he really going to be killed here?
Oops.
"You're going to ...... Repentant. His neck was cut by the boy's claws, and he finally spoke slowly, "If you kill me here, you'll regret it." ”
His body trembled more and more intensely, and the young man couldn't help frowning: "You are not my opponent at all now. ”
Rainle looked at him and said without emotion, "No, you lost." ”
"What?" he wondered, but at this moment, he only felt his body go limp, and the strength in his hand seemed to be drained, only to see Rainle holding the arm that pierced his throat, and waves poured out along the arm, he wanted to withdraw his arm in shock, but he was firmly tied by a force, and he couldn't move.
"It's!" he was shocked.
This is the only ability he didn't enter, Rainle already knew?
In the end, can't he kill him?
A steady stream of power flowed throughout his body, and Rainle pointed his finger at the young man's eyebrows......
"Bang!" A bullet blocked his fingertips, and a black shadow swept by with lightning speed, and the young man who was still stunned jumped to the roof of the car on a high place, glanced at the two people in the car through the hole, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Qin Fan met the man's eyes, looking at the empty roof hole, and his heart tightened.
Then Rainle reached out and whispered to him, "Pull me tight." Qin Fan held his hand and asked, "Should you jump on the roof of the car too?"
Before the words fell, he only felt dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was standing in the cold wind, with the metal top of the car under his feet, he hurriedly lowered his body and leaned close to the body, looking at the young man on the side and shouting: "Hey, what are you going to do?"
Rainle looked around, but couldn't find any of them, and even the murderous aura disappeared, but the strong resonance remained, and they didn't leave.
Is it still in the car? Is it in another car? He lowered his head and looked through the hole in the car.
The driver of the tram did not know what was happening in the car behind him, and was still running smoothly, while the passengers in the broken car poured into the other cars, and in an instant the ground was empty with only broken arms and debris, and cold air continued to pour in from the large hole in the broken roof, and finally only a boy and a young man in white remained inside, and the passengers looked at the two men from a distance with fear and fear, trembling from afar.
What the two of them didn't know was that they were just a few cars apart
In the back seat, the young man was opening his palm, silently distracted, and the man sitting next to him looked at him with an English face, grinning and saying, "How did you feel after the hand?"
The young man's eyes were gloomy, and he glared sideways at the Englishman, but did not speak.
The Englishman stretched out his arms around the back of his head and continued: "His current situation, you won't fall behind in the fight with him, don't worry, just follow them to the destination and destroy the crack code first." Don't you want to end it all, just kill Rainle, and it'll all be over, my white Mingming. ”
The man looked at the boy with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.
Yes, the reason why I am with this man is to kill Rainle, everything comes from Rainle, as long as you kill him, all this will end...... Yes, I did it, and I was right.
He closed his palms and clenched them firmly.
.
The tram slowly approached, Qin Fan and the others changed to the train to the neighboring town, and after more than an hour, the two got off the train and came to the edge of a green field, Qin Fan unfolded the map and pondered.
Finally, we had to hike to a small village in the mountains, which was not open to traffic. Rainle's irreversible cracking code will actually be in the deep mountains and old forests, and it feels impossible to think about it, but Rainle said that this is the message left to him by Nanichiro Yama, could there be an underground experimental base in a mountain village?
Are those people still following us now? Qin Fan couldn't help but look at Rainle, the young man's face was still as cold as ever, there were no ups and downs, maybe he was too careful......
"Hayami Village...... This place is still under the root of the mountain in front of it, and it is not marked on the map, so it looks very hidden. Qin Fan inquired about a family, only then did he know the specific location, and walked back to Rainle.
The two of them walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, a dead branch with a few thorns entwined and entwined to block the way, it seems that they have not found the wrong place, this should be the "gate" set up by the people in the village to isolate the outside world, the mountain road in the "door" is full of bushes of different heights, uneven, Qin Fan struggled through the thorns, dodging the low bushes that almost hung his clothes left and right, and Rainle finally passed through the obstacles and entered the woods behind.
From taking the tram all the way over, plus walking a mountain road, the time was close to four or five o'clock in the afternoon, in the depths of the mountains at this time the sky gradually began to darken, the mountains and forests suddenly silent, as if they had been spelled to fall asleep, occasionally there would be a few insect chirps, Qin Fan stepped on the calf-high grass, and suddenly sounded a small sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu", from the gap in the grass blades quickly rushed out of the distance, it was a small snake.
It's really not appropriate to enter the mountain at this point, Qin Fan thought.
The two of them stepped across the grass, and gradually they could see a little warm yellow light in the depths of the woods. Finally arrived, Qin Fan took a breath, raised his legs and walked out of the forest, at least he had to find a way to borrow it for one night, it really didn't work, then find an abandoned tile house for one night.
Qin Fan dragged his tired body and knocked on the door of the nearest house, and called, "I'm sorry, is anyone there?"
The door creaked open from the inside, and an elderly woman examined the two of them for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
"We came to visit our relatives in this village, and we accidentally got lost for the first time, and I don't know if it's inconvenient for us to borrow for a night, ah, of course we'll leave right away if we don't want to. Qin Fan opened his mouth and said.
The old man let go: "How come, I am so happy that I am just accompanying me, a lonely old man." She said, walking over to the table and pouring two glasses of water, "There is no good tea in a small mountain village like this, so if you don't dislike it, drink it." ”
"Ah, there is no such thing, thank you. Qin Fan sat on the cushion.
"Listening to your accent, you shouldn't be a local. From the big city?" the old man brought two glasses of water and handed them them, and slowly sat down with his waist propped up.
"Pretty much. Qin Fan took a sip and felt that this water was not like tap water, it was probably scooped from a clear spring in the mountains, revealing a cool feeling.
The old man poured himself another cup and hugged the cup to keep warm, and it would still be a little cool at night in the mountains in summer. She seemed to squint through the mist of hot water and looked at the two carefully, and finally said: "It's a bit presumptuous to say this, probably because my old eyes are not good, and I always feel that this child is very familiar, as if I have seen ...... somewhere."
“...... Huh?" Qin Fan was stunned.
The old lady lifted her wrinkled eyelids and stared at Rainle, as if to say to herself, "I always feel like I've seen ...... somewhere." Ah, don't worry, I may be mistaken. She raised her head and smiled at Qin Fan, and then unconsciously moved her gaze to Rainle, revealing a puzzled expression.
At night, Qin Fan and the others slept in a small room in the back, pillowing hard pillows, he thought about what to do next, Fukuoka's map is not accurate to the specific location of a house in a little-known mountain village...... Where will Nanichiro Yama's experimental base be?
Thinking of these headaches, his tired body had already pulled him into sleep, but he didn't know that the door was opened a crack, and the owner stared at the dimly lit room with one eye exposed.
Qin Fan felt a bump in the haze, as if he was being carried forward all the way on something, he woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and saw a piece of mud below, he felt that his body was lifted high, there was a strange touch on his back, his hands and feet were also tied and he couldn't move, and he could barely squint and see a few hands carrying him step by step.
Hey, what's going on? He tried to twist, but he couldn't move. Thinking back to what happened, a hospitable villager who received them warmly for no reason, now I think it's a little strange, if there is really no resistance to outsiders, why do you want to block the village with thorns?
He gradually calmed down, remembering the water that the old man poured for them, who knows if it would have been added......
By the way, what about Rainle? He was startled, and at this time several people had stopped and put him on the ground, and he saw that it was two young men, followed by seven or eight people, young and middle-aged, all men. The men stepped over his body to a hut, and suddenly they all knelt down, muttering something into the room, and threw themselves to the ground with their arms outstretched, as if they were worshipping, but the atmosphere was strange.
Is this some kind of local custom? Qin Fan looked at the unusual behavior of these people, thinking of the plot that happened in the isolated mountain village in the movie, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Hey, is there such a feudal place now? He fumbled for the gun hidden in his waist, but when he touched it, his hands were empty, and he was shocked: Did ......you take it while I was asleep?
At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the grass behind them, which caused the people who were "worshiping" to look back keenly, and saw that their faces gradually distorted, revealing a look of fear, as if they had seen some monster, their pupils shrunk sharply, their jaws trembled up and down, and one of them finally squeezed out a few words from between their lips and teeth: "Youkai...... Youkai-sama has appeared!"
A handsome young man in a white shirt and trousers was pulling away the blades of grass and walking out of the bushes, and saw Qin Fan, who was tied up like an insect in front of him, and a group of men kneeling in front of the room, he stood firmly in place for a while, and before he could speak, the sound of "plop, plop" sounded one after another, only to see that the group of people turned to kneel towards the boy, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Lord Monster!
"Youkai-sama has appeared!"
"Please bless our village this time!"
"What?" Qin Fan looked at their abnormal behavior, everyone's face seemed to be frightened but with indescribable excitement, a gust of wind blew on his face in the cool night, he only felt a chill, and couldn't help but shiver.
"What's going on?" Rainle walked towards him, intending to ask Qin Fan, but the group thought they were asking them, and a man who looked like the leader hurriedly spoke as if he was afraid of being snubbed: "My lord, we are all your believers, please accept the food we have prepared for you!"
What?food?me?
"......" Rainle seemed to be stunned, and he didn't speak for a long time, Rao is high-IQ data code will also have a cassette when he met this group of superstitious people, Qin Fan pulled the corners of his mouth unkindly.
"What's going on. The young man lowered his head and asked Qin Fan.
"You untie me first. ”
As soon as Rainle reached out and touched the rope that bound Qin Fan, the group of people hurriedly shouted, "Youkai-sama is going to eat, let's go quickly!"
Qin Fan looked up at him: "They seem to know you, or do they say that the 'monster lord' they have seen looks very similar to you?"
Rainle looked at the bushes, the group hadn't gone far, and were still hiding from a short distance to peek at them. "I don't have any records of this in my profile. He said.
"That's strange, the old woman before also said that you are very familiar, isn't it a coincidence?" Qin Fan shook off the rope on his body and stood up, "And where did you just go?"
"I went around and looked around. Rainle said.
"When did you come out?"
"I tasted that the man added scopolamine to our cups, and guessed that maybe she would do something at night, so I waited until she hid before she entered the house...... Qin Fan interjected: "Wait, you all know that she wants to knock me unconscious, why don't you stop it in advance?"
Rainle didn't answer: "...... Then I saw her and a few people tied you up and carried you out, originally following all the way to see where you were being carried, but a person came out halfway to talk to them about something, and kept talking for a long time, I saw that there was a lot of time to go elsewhere to see, maybe I could find something. ”
"Okay. He shouldn't have expected this guy to come out of sympathy and save himself, asking, "Did you find anything then?"
Rainle shook his head. Qin Fan said helplessly: "Actually, it's okay, at least I know that the people in this village have such an unusual behavior, if my guess is correct, there must be something in this house, let's go in and take a look." ”
The two walked into the room, and as soon as they pushed the door open, they were choked by a thick burst of dust, this room was full of dust, and there was no breath of people, but Qin Fan reached out and felt a thin pull rope on the wall, he pulled it down, and the room instantly lit up. Strangely, since there was so much dust, it means that this house has not been inhabited for a long time, and he carefully observed this drawstring, and found that there was no dust on it, and it even looked like a brand new rope, which was incompatible with this room. There is only one possibility, this house has been occupied by someone for a while recently, but it has been empty for a long time before this, but why did that person come here and install a drawstring and electric light, but not clean the room?
Qin Fan couldn't figure it out, could it be that the man simply came in and installed a lamp and left? What was the reason? Just thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of an old wooden table next to the drawstring, and there was something as incompatible with the brand-new drawstring - he flicked the dust around the tabletop, picked up the photo frame, and found that there was also dust under the original photo frame, but it was relatively thin, Qin Fan was stunned, sure enough, someone had come! That person had only touched this photo frame, or had he left the photo frame here?
The front of the photo frame was also lightly covered with a thin layer of ash, and Qin Fan gently wiped it with his hand, and the photo appeared clearly in front of his eyes. The photograph is old, it is black and white film, and the costumes look far beyond modern times. This is a family, a middle-aged man sits in the middle, his hair is thinning to almost none, wearing a pair of framed glasses, he is smiling at the camera, behind him stands a young man in his twenties, smiling brighter than his father, and the boy standing on the left is a head shorter than the young man, sixteen or seventeen years old, different from the skin color of the other two, his skin is almost extremely pale, and his face is cool and female...... Qin Fan's hand holding the photo frame shook like an electric shock, and he almost fell to the ground.
He mechanically turned his head to Rainle beside him, stared at it for a moment, then turned his head to look at the photograph again, and finally he took a deep breath and looked at Rainle with a strange look in his eyes.
"I know why that old woman thinks you're familiar. He stood for a long time before he slowly uttered his words and held the frame in front of the boy:
"This man...... Isn't it you?"
