Along the way, Song Qingluo was sleeping. At first, he curled up and leaned against the window. Lin Banxia saw that his posture was a little uncomfortable, so he tentatively asked him whether he would lean on himself. Song Qingluo gave him a confused look, and leaned his head over.
The staff sitting in the co-pilot watched the two interacting from the rearview mirror, and their eyes were about to fall, and it took a while to remove their eyes stiffly.
Lin Banxia didn't even realize it. He took out his mobile phone to play with relish. His mobile phone had no signal for a few days, and now he can finally use it. There are many missed calls, basically from Ji Leshui. The message sent by Ji Leshui was a gentle inquiry from the beginning, and it became the last cry of exhaustion: "Lin Banxia, ​​if you do n’t give me a message, I will call the police? Are you kidnapped by Song Qingluo? Have you gone abroad to sell kidneys? Please, my elder brother, answer my phone— "
There are more than 100 pieces of information in this content. Lin Banxia whispered a voice back to him, saying that he was okay. It was only a few days ago that the mobile phone did not have a signal to return the message.
Song Qingluo was sleeping soundly, completely ignoring what was happening around him.
The off-road vehicle drove out of the mountain village and reached the town, but did not stop. Instead, it followed the national highway all the way to the unknown place. Lin Banxia was sitting in the car, and it was not easy to ask where he was going. After a while, he also slept with Song Qingluo.
When he woke up, Song Qingluo, who was supposed to be leaning on his shoulder, was leaned against him, and almost all of him was embedded in Song Qingluo's arms.
Lin Banxia froze for a moment, and looked up to see Song Qingluo's half-dangled black eyes. The eyes were calm and calm. He said, "Wake up?"
Lin Banxia suddenly embarrassed: "Wake up."
Song Qingluo: "Saliva wipe, it's coming."
Lin Banxia: "..." He sat up silently and wiped the saliva of his lips quietly. The speed of the car gradually slowed down and finally stopped. Lin Banxia looked at the table below. It had actually passed eight hours. He didn't wake up once in the middle and slept better than at home.
Through the car window, he saw the strange scenery outside. They seemed to be in a parking lot, surrounded by white walls. There were dense circular objects hanging on the walls. Lin Banxia initially thought it was a camera. Who knows Song Qingluo seemed to see through his thoughts, and said lightly: "It's a weapon."
Lin Banxia: "..."
"Get off." Song Qingluo said.
Lin Banxia jumped out of the car, stretched his body, and strangely said: "Hey, what about the car that holds the village head and Mu Xinsi? And Jiang Ruonan?"
Song Qingluo said: "They are in other places, only to see you later, are you hungry?"
Lin Banxia honestly nodded: "Hungry."
Song Qingluo looked at his watch: "It's still early, go and eat with me first." He yawned and led Lin Pinxia through a black iron gate.
After the iron gate, there is a completely white building. The door is white, the walls are also white, and the lighting is also white. For a time, Lin Banxia was a little bit stunned by the large white in front of him. Song Qingluo seemed to be used to it, leading Lin Banxia through several doors to a place that looked like a dressing room. Then he took out a set of black clothes from the cabinet and signaled Lin Banxia to put it on.
After Lin Banxia wore it, he realized that it was work clothes with patterns. Song Qingluo also changed his clothes. The two went in through the door and passed a total of five levels, some of which were disinfected and some scanned. Lin Banxia once again felt how guarded he was about to enter.
After passing the level, it was inside the building. Lin Banxia saw a lot of people wearing the same clothes as him. These people seem to know Song Qingluo, and almost everyone turned their eyes on the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally. .
Song Qingluo ignored these eyes and took Lin Banxia to a place like a restaurant. He casually nodded the table and turned to ask Lin Banxia what he wanted to eat.
Lin Banxia glanced at the menu, still unconfused by the environment here, and calmly asked the core question: "Do you want money?"
Song Qingluo: "... No."
Lin Banxia: "0.0 Can I have two sausages?"
Song Qingluo: "... Yes."
Three minutes later, the two each took two sets of meals, a bottle of fat house happy water, and two roasted sausages, and ate happily. Lin Banxia chewed the compressed biscuits for a few days. At this time, she ate some tears that had touched everything. After almost eating, Song Qingluo looked at his watch again and said that it was almost time. Pinellia went to a closed room.
There was a projector hanging on that room, and a huge and soft sofa. When Lin Banxia sat up, he felt like he was sitting in a soft pie, showing a happy expression. Song Qingluo was next to Lin Banxia and pressed the remote control, and the projector in front of him lit up.
The projector appeared first, it was Jiang Ruonan.
She sat expressionless on a chair, talking to the cold camera across the glass.
The emotionless voice in the camera asked her name, age, gender, and some unimportant questions. Jiang Ruonan didn't care about it and was very uncooperative until ... the staff took out the stone that Song Qingluo brought back.
"Do you know this?" The voice asked.
Jiang Ruonan glanced at the stone, her eyes clearly panicked, she pursed her lips and refused to answer the question stubbornly.
The voice didn't speak, and was silent for about three minutes, saying: "Perform a preliminary experiment."
The stone was carefully placed in a transparent glass house in front of Jiang Ruonan by a mechanical arm. There was a worker wearing protective clothing. The staff gently extended his hand and held the stone. Jiang Ruonan saw this scene and showed a frightened expression.
The worker in protective clothing held the stone for one second, two seconds, three seconds-he who had been sitting suddenly stood up, loosened the stone in his hand, and clutched his neck tightly, as if Hypoxia is general, and the body bends down, appearing extremely painful.
The harsh alarm sounded, and the two robotic arms quickly lifted the staff out-the stone fell on the ground, making a loud sound, which was not pleasant, as if the death was indifferent.
Another staff member came in and, like the previous staff member, bent down and wanted to hold the stone. But at the moment when he reached out, the mechanical arm that had stayed above his head suddenly failed, and with a clear sound, he hit him straight down, and the staff couldn't dodge and was smashed by the mechanical arm He was standing upright-his body fell to the ground, and was quickly removed by the robotic arm.
Then the third staff member entered the room.
"Stop, don't try, you will die !!!" Jiang Ruonan, who had been watching all this, couldn't stand it anymore. She screamed like a frightened child, "What are you doing, you will die-- "
"Why, why do you die?" Icy asked.
"This thing will think, it likes to die, and all creatures close to it will die--" Jiang Ruonan cried, only at this time, she was like a 13-year-old child, helpless and vulnerable, "only manufacturing Death, it wo n’t hurt you— "
The stone lay quietly on the ground, with a smooth appearance, emitting an attractive light.
Icy voice said: "Continue."
The third person's staff began to move. He ignored Jiang Ruonan's scream and picked up the stone again.
"Crack"-the communicator on the staff's chest burst a bright inch of sparks, and even a burst of black smoke, although the work clothes were fireproof, but his breathing apparatus was soon filled with black smoke , While coughing loudly, he was dragged out forcibly by the mechanical arm—
"Look, look!" Jiang Ruonan cried, "I didn't lie to you, I won't lie--" She sobbed and patted the glass in front of her, making people soft-hearted, "I really didn't lie you guys."
There was a black curtain on the glass, which cut off her line of sight to the glass house. She showed a blank expression, thinking that the experiment was stopped, but Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo sitting on the screen knew that the experiment was still Continue.
The owner of the icy voice moved her heart, and didn't want her to continue watching.
Jiang Ruonan's crying became more piercing, and she was crying so sadly that she slid down from the chair like an injured hedgehog and curled up in a ball. The cold voice didn't ask any more questions, but she murmured to herself and told a story that belonged to her.
"I have been working since I was six years old. At that time, my body was weak, and I couldn't pick water. My grandma punished me and gave me a pot. Let me go back to the pot by the river. No supper. "
Jiang Ruonan rarely sees her parents. She learns from her neighbors that they will only come back when they have children. At that time, she didn't understand why her parents would come back only when they had children. She hoped and waited, just to see them.
They must also come back with a lot of gifts like the parents of the next strong guy, right? When they are older, they may take themselves away from this remote mountain village and take them to the city. At that time, she can also wear a nice little dress and eat sweet and sweet candy.
Jiang Ruonan, always looking forward to it.
Until she was 13 years old, she really saw her parents. They came back together, the mother came back with a big belly, the father helped her, and the two looked extremely close. They also saw Jiang Ruonan, but their eyes seemed to see a stranger, without a trace of tenderness, even with Jiang Ruonan's disgust that he could not understand.
Father grinned at her reluctantly, saying that Ruo Nan is so old. Mother refused to give a smile, staring at her like staring at a monster. Jiang Ruonan didn't understand why she saw such an expression in her eyes. Is she a monster? Why is she a monster? The little girl was blinded. She was kicked out of the house. The mean grandma let her pick up the water tank in the yard to get back. She turned her head and saw the heavy snow outside the house. This spring seems to come earlier than in previous years, but why does she always feel that the weather is colder than in previous years.
The water was heavy and needed to be poured into the jug carefully. Jiang Ruonan's thin shoulders raised a shoulder, and the cloth shoes under his feet stepped on half of the snow. She rubbed her frozen red nose and wanted to go home soon. So the pace is bigger than before.
When he finally arrived at the house, Jiang Ruonan just put down the burden on his shoulder, and heard the cry of a child in the house, and there were more than one cry. Was your brother and sister born? Jiang Ruonan's heart overflowed with indescribable joy. She stood at the window looking curiously towards the house, and faintly heard the conversation in the room.
"Boy, it's a boy !!!" It was her mother's joyful cry.
"How come there is a towing oil bottle." It was Grandma's disgruntled grunt.
"Then what to do, everybody was born." The mother said, "Can you give it away?"
"I think the old Yang's family in Waitou Town happened to be missing a girl. I sent it to him. There is already a Jiang Ruonan at home, so why do you want so much?" Said the grandmother.
"Don't say it, it's disgusting to die." The mother said, "Mom, why did you give her such a name, it was terrible."
"What's wrong, if we don't take this name, can our family have this unique seedling?" Grandma said proudly. "I still have a vision ..."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Ruonan suddenly felt a little cold, not the skin, but the inside of the body, as if the blood also frozen inch by inch. She heard the opening of the door and hid in the firewood stack beside her, and saw the milkmaid carrying a baby out.
That baby, Jiang Ruonan's sister who was about to be sent away. She watched her grandmother go out and went to the left. It was a little strange. Shouldn't the road to the town go to the right? What is she doing on the left? Thinking this way, Jiang Ruonan took a step and followed.
Grandma didn't go to the town, she followed the winding mountain road all the way up, and finally reached the cave at the end of the water source, where the black paint, Jiang Ruonan was a little scared, she watched the grandma walked in, and when she came out, she was empty-handed .
What about sister? Where is my sister? Jiang Ruonan thought blankly, did grandma throw her into the cave? Now that it's so cold, won't she be frozen to death?
Grandma left her front foot, and Jiang Ruonan followed in with her hind foot. She didn't have a light, she could only fumble all the way forward, but her heart gradually cooled down. She reached the end of the cave and never heard a baby cry from start to finish. Her feet stepped on the icy snow, and at this moment, she suddenly understood where her sister had gone-she was in the cold stream.
Jiang Ruonan should have wanted to cry, but at this moment, her eyes were dry and no tears could flow. She knelt down, knelt in the gurgling water, and buried her body slowly. The snow melted bitterly, and her mouth was filled with the cold water. She dared not think about it. The sisters in the neighbor ’s mouth who were out of luck were now where they were, and they dared not think about it. They had been drinking for more than ten years. What kind of secret is buried in the end. For the first time, she hated this village, hated the village, hated her name, and hated everyone who asked her why she was a girl with malicious intent.
With a soft bang, there seemed to be something falling down in front of Jiang Ruonan along the melting snow. She conditioned her hand and held the thing. It was extremely cold. She seemed to hold the coldest piece of ice in winter. At this moment, she seemed to hear the call of Yuanshan, and an indescribable murmur filled her mind. She heard people screaming, saw dead animals, countless broken pictures flashed in front of her eyes, her almost frozen body suddenly warmed up, she lowered her head, kissed and fell in the most pious gesture Into her palm.
It was a black stone with scales like a snake. It had no life. It lay quietly in Jiang Ruonan's hands. Jiang Ruonan didn't know what it was. She just felt that her body had happened with this thing. Resonance, at this moment, she seems to have lost the emotion of being a creature. In the depths of her soul, there is only a cold, emotionless darkness. In the darkness, there is a terrible voice screaming longingly, screaming for Jiang Ruonan To bring its own sacrifice.
Jiang Ruonan moved, she stood up, followed its will, and threw it into the stream. She was soaked all over, but suddenly she didn't notice it. Her mouth hummed like a cheerful bird, hopping. Down the mountain, she returned home. When she was seen by her grandmother, she was not surprised to get a scolding, but she was not sad, but instead laughed, apologized to her grandmother with a smile, said with a smile, The water tank will be filled soon-with the gurgling stream that flows down the mountain.
In the afternoon of the same day, it began to rain in the mountains. Jiang Ruonan picked up the heavy water tank and went over and over, filling the water tank at home. She boiled the boiling water, looked at the family with satisfaction, and drank the clear spring water. As long as they drink it, they will be able to be with her poor sister and sister. Isn't this a good thing? Jiang Ruonan thought that people will eventually die, so this time, please let it be given.
When Jiang Ruonan finished her story, she no longer cried. She had a sweet smile on her face, like a satisfied child. Such a scene made Lin Banxia unwilling to read it. The icy voice also seemed to appease: "You are tired, go to sleep."
Jiang Ruonan closed his eyes and slept like this.
On the other side of the screen, the black stone continues to be experimented. Sitting on the sofa, Song Qingluo was obviously completely used to the picture in front of him, and even felt a little bored. Lin Banxia was the first to see such a situation. The people on the screen have changed one after another. Almost everyone who touches the stone will have some accidents on his body.
Then they conducted a series of tests with animals. Lin Pinxia looked at them and was almost asleep.
After so many hours of testing, the robotic arm moved the stone to another room that was more spacious and spacious. Then, in the sight of Lin Banxia, ​​a man without clothes appeared ... When this man first came out, Lin Banxia also froze for a moment, then looked at Song Qingluo, and saw that there was still no change on his face. He said, "What are you doing?"
Song Qingluo said, "Take a test."
Lin Banxia: "Why doesn't he wear clothes?"
Song Qingluo said: "Isn't it all the protective clothing that was the problem before? Now it's safe to take off the protective clothing."
Lin Banxia: "..." He was convinced by Song Qingluo's strange logic.
The man seemed to be used to it, and walked calmly into the middle of the room. He bent down calmly and touched the stone with his hands without any protective measures. This scene made Lin Banxia very nervous, for fear that something might make this man suddenly die. But what he didn't expect was that the man was holding a stone in his hand, but nothing happened—
"Hey? Didn't it say that the effect of stones is to absorb vitality?" Lin Banxia remembered Song Qingluo's speculation. He thought Song Qingluo made sense, but the man in front of him had nothing at all.
"Don't you just try it with animals." Song Qingluo said, "If you didn't die directly, it means that the effect is definitely not to absorb vitality."
Lin Banxia was confused by Song Qingluo: "What is the effect?"
Song Qingluo blinked: "I don't know."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Then, there are various test methods on the screen. At first, Lin Banxia didn't understand it very well. Later, he also saw some rules.
If the person who touched the stone had no foreign objects around him, then he would be fine. But if there are other items in his body, these items may cause damage to his body.
Unconsciously, the two had watched most of the night. Song Qingluo leaned on the soft sofa and fell asleep with even breathing. Lin Banxia wanted to persevere again, but the fighting eyelids did not give him a chance, so In the cold mechanical sound, he also entered the sweet dream with Song Qingluo.
The two fell asleep until dawn.
Lin Banxia was awakened by someone. He opened his eyes blankly, and saw a beautiful face, slightly surprised, before reacting: "Li Su?" Li Su also wore the work clothes and looked at with a smile Lin Banxia said, "It's almost time to miss breakfast."
When Lin Banxia heard breakfast, he immediately became energetic and said, "I will have breakfast."
Li Su said: "Well, Song Qingluo talks about something, let me ask you to eat." He pointed to the side, "It can be washed inside, and there are disposable underwear, you see if you want to take a bath. "
Lin Banxia said, "Okay, okay."
He slept quite comfortably, and now he was completely energetic, so he took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went to eat with Li Su.
The cafeteria here is very rich in content, almost everything, Lin Banxia ordered porridge and some noodles, eating very happy.
Li Su smiled and watched him eat next to him. From the appearance, Lin Banxia should be the kind of person who gets along well. His eyebrows are handsome and his hair color seems to be dyed, which is lighter than ordinary people's black hair, more like chestnut color, and the corners of his eyes droop slightly, like a gentle little white rabbit. Not even a cry. But such a person, Neri's trait is actually infinitely close to Song Qingluo's monster, which makes people feel incredible.
Lin Banxia's hair was stared by Li Su, and he handed the bun in the past, saying, "You ... want one?"
"No." Li Su said, "I just want to watch you eat."
Lin Banxia suddenly remembered something, and said carefully: "Will you want me to go to test the stone after eating it?"
Li Su laughed and said, "What do you want, eat it, and take you to see Song Qingluo after you eat it."
Lin Banxia was indeed not full, so he continued to nibble the buns silently. When Song Qingluo came, he saw Lin Banxia cheeks bulging like a pitiful and helpless little hamster, and Li Su bent beside The look in the corner of his eyes was like a snake staring at the hamster. The hamster was very nervous, but even so-he did not forget to continue stuffing buns into his mouth.
"Yo, how did you come back and get it done so quickly?" Li Su was a little surprised to see Song Qingluo coming.
Song Qingluo nodded and said, "It's almost done."
Lin Banxia tried to swallow the bun in his mouth and vaguely said, "Where have you been?"
Song Qingluo said: "I went to see Jiang Ruonan."
Lin Banxia said: "Is she all right?"
Song Qingluo said: "It's fine."
"What about the stone? What is it?" Lin Banxia fell asleep yesterday, without looking at the follow-up of the experiment.
Song Qingluo sat down next to him and took a bun to start eating slowly. While eating, he said, "It's almost the same as what I guessed, but there are differences in the way."
"What difference?" Lin Banxia asked.
"Vitality will not be sucked away." Song Qingluo whispered, "but the more creatures in contact with it, the higher the probability of death from accidents on the body, the higher it will be when you are in direct contact with it. The probability is biased towards 100%. "
Lin Banxia remembered that he seemed to have touched the stone at that time, he froze: "Why am I all right?"
Song Qingluo said: "It's not that you're okay, it's that it takes a certain amount of time to achieve its effect, probably within three to five minutes-it varies from person to person, and for specific reasons, the experiment is still continuing. The ground didn't move, didn't there suddenly appear a crocodile gar? This kind of fish is a tropical fish, and under normal circumstances it is impossible to appear in the mountains of that latitude. "
Lin Banxia screamed and carefully recalled what happened after entering the mountain, saying: "It seems to be the case!"
"The effect of this thing can only be transmitted through water, and it will even affect the surrounding ecological environment, and I guess it has a special effect." Song Qingluo said.
"What effect?" Lin Banxia asked.
"When you become the unexpected factor that causes death, its effect will be reduced on your body. In other words, the more people killed, the longer you will live." Song Qingluo swallowed the last bite of the bun and pulled out a tissue Wipe your fingers.
Lin Banxia was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a stubble. He also knew what the village chief did. He had thought that people would do some extreme things in that special environment, but he didn't expect that his There is also a basis for this behavior. Song Qingluo also said that Mu Xinsi was now awake. The doctor found a hallucinogenic toxin in her body, which was also extracted in chicken broth.
To put it another way, the mushroom that the village head put in the chicken soup is poisonous. According to his confession, and then contact Jiang Ruonan, the conclusion was that the village head was also affected by the stone at the beginning. Very similar mushrooms caused the accidental death of the first people. After the village chief discovered that he had killed someone by mistake, his mental state became worse and worse, and he actually found out the law of stones by mistake-as long as he was an unexpected creator, then the role of stones would not Realized on him. Of course, in the consciousness of the village head, he stubbornly believed that it was the ruthless mountain who caused all this.
Lin Banxia thought silently and asked the last question. He said, "What about Jiang Ruonan? What is her relationship with Stone?"
Song Qingluo looked at Lin Banxia with a light voice: "She ... may be a companion to that stone, and may also be called dependents."
Lin Banxia: "..."
The term "companion" is very foreign to him, but looking at Song Qingluo's expression, Lin Banxia felt sensitively that this did not seem to be a good term.
"What's that?" Lin Banxia hesitated. "Isn't it ... a good thing?"
Song Qingluo glanced at him and said, "Some people may be infected with heretics. This infection may cause some changes in the human body, both good and bad, but most people ... will be infected by heretics. Slavery. "
Lin Banxia probably understood, he said: "What will happen to Jiang Ruonan? How will you deal with her?"
Li Su was teased by his nervous tone, patting his shoulder and saying, "Don't be so nervous. We are a regular government agency and not an illegal organization. We can't say how to deal with her. We need to monitor for a while. Look at the specifics of her and the extent of the infection-moreover, I ’m sure she is much safer in us than in that village. "
Lin Banxia pursed her lips and said nothing.
Li Su tilted his picture: "Why, don't you believe me?"
"How are the people who went into the experiment yesterday?" Lin Banxia did not forget, "How many are you dead?"
"Oh, it turns out you are worried about this." Li Su spread his hand. "Don't worry, they are processed before they go in. We have special methods to make sure their lives are safe, otherwise there are so many staff."
Lin Banxia think about it too.
This incident came to an end. After a few weeks, Lin Banxia, ​​who had already returned home, received a detailed report on the stone brought back by Song Qingluo. In the last paragraph of the report, he said something about the village chief. It probably means that he killed five or six people, punished several crimes and was severely sentenced, but there was no mention of Jiang Ruonan.
But Lin Banxia, ​​but could not forget this slender girl, Jiang Ruonan, always reminds him of his sister.
The stone that ran into a lot of disasters was not sealed. The conclusion after the experiment was that it could not be sealed. At present, there is no material that can isolate its effectiveness for a long time. So it will be tentatively released for a period of stress, and during the release, continue to study its effect.
Lin Banxia remembered his house number which was also under stress relief. It seems that since he moved in, this house number has never been scary anymore. It is really a bit embarrassing to think about it.
After resting there for a few days, Song Qingluo took him to the nearby coastal city for a few days.
Lin Banxia tanned for a while, and happily carried the seafood brought to Jile water home. Although he was very happy to travel, he was most pleased with the more than 100,000 yuan in his bank card. He had never received so much money in his life. .
On the day of returning home on Saturday, Ji Leshui happened to be at home, so after getting off the plane, Lin Banxia called Ji Leshui at home: "I'll be back soon, what are you doing?"
"Let's watch TV at the big brother's house." Ji Leshui said, "When will you come back?"
Lin Banxia: "Just got off the plane, there may be more than an hour."
Ji Leshui: "Have you eaten? Or will you go out for a hot pot later?"
Lin Banxia said, "OK, are you okay at home these days?"
"It's okay." Ji Leshui smiled, "Isn't this someone accompanying me."
Lin Banxia was a little surprised to hear his words, thinking that someone was with him. Did Ji Leshui find another girlfriend? But he had no time to ask, Ji Leshui hung up the phone.
Song Qingluo saw Lin Banxia's expression was wrong and asked him what was wrong.
"It's okay, I think it's too much." Lin Banxia smiled, "Go back first."
Although he made a fortune, Lin Banxia was still unwilling to take a taxi, and went back to the bus with Song Qingluo. It took about an hour and a half to arrive at the house.
Lin Banxia went to her house to leave her luggage and went to the next door to knock on Song Qingluo's door.
After a while, the door opened. Behind the door was exposed Ji Leshui's face with a bright smile. He said: "Banxia, ​​you are back! How are you doing?"
Lin Banxia said: "It's pretty good, how about you?"
"I'm fine too." Ji Leshui smiled. "Come in and chat for a while." He said, turning around.
Lin Banxia originally planned to move forward, but he stopped at first. He thought he was wrong, but after rubbing his eyes heavily, he was sure that he was not actually hallucinating. I saw a snow-white skeleton frame hanging behind Ji Leshui, which seemed to be the skeleton of a child, and was firmly attached to Ji Leshui in a back-to-back posture.
