Jumping down from the secret passage, Xie Junping looked up and saw that the mimic membrane perfectly blocked his sight and looked like a whole alloy steel plate.
Who would have thought that there is a short and narrow secret passage right behind this, leading to a strange tree hole space
Ronan said nothing and returned silently. Xie Junping took another look at the surveillance screen, hurriedly took two steps and walked side by side with him. But soon, he regretted his decision.
At this time, all the system modules in the laboratory have returned to normal operation. When I go back, it is no longer a black light. Inside the glass curtain wall, under the special black light, the dark purple light makes the water area become like a dream. magical.
But the long road was simply torture for Xie Junping.
Ronan next to me is not in a normal state of mind...
Along the way, Ronan continued the depressed and manic state in the tree hole, always spinning in the circle of his own thoughts. Sometimes he would stop abruptly and turn his head to look at the long corridor behind him and the increasingly dark water next to him. He would remain in a daze for a long time. At this moment, the blood-red color in his eyes would be so bright that it was difficult to look straight at him. There were even a few times when Xie Junping heard a low sound from clenching his teeth.
After just a few minutes of walking around like this, Xie Junping became more and more convinced:
Ronan is going crazy!
He had no doubt that if someone dared to say, "I am so-and-so who lives in the tree hole," Ronan would immediately pounce on him, bite that person's throat to pieces, and then roar and ask:
Damn what are you doing there!
What are you thinking... If this continues, Xie Junping feels like he is going crazy!
Something must be done.
Xie Junping racked his brains to recall some communication courses he had taken, and after hesitating for a long time, he said:
"Uh, junior fellow student, do you know very little about Auntie?"
Ronan was obviously stunned, his own circle was broken, and this strength came from the memory of his mother. This wonderful emotion is like a rushing river washing through my heart. It hurts slightly, but it's not bad.
After a long time, Ronan nodded: "Yes, very few."
There is a way!
Xie Junping was overjoyed and continued to work hard: "Auntie, don't you have any relatives there?"
Ronan continued to respond: "My mother was a war orphan and grew up in an orphanage."
Xie Junping almost didn't choke, but calculating the time, Bu Qingwen was indeed born before the third war. There were many such situations among people of that generation.
Anyway, the conversation finally started.
"Is it local? If you want to collect more information, junior, I still have some energy in Xia City." Xie Junping took care of everything again, and the effect turned out to be pretty good.
Ronan bowed to him: "Thank you, senior."
here we go again! It feels like Ronan is like a person from the last century, or acts exactly according to the pattern in the book... Well, maybe that's it. It's just that the cold face and the action pattern match well, giving people the illusion of being relatively mature.
After thinking about this, Xie Junping became more confident in this exchange. He waved his hand: "Actually, I also admire Auntie very much. Being able to design the 'gear' by one hand, more than 20 years later, is still causing disputes. I Everyone thought it was a masterpiece by some master."
"This is also the first time I know."
"So, Brother Nan, what did you know before? Your family has never mentioned anything about your aunt to you?"
“…”
The sudden silence made Xie Junping almost think that he had made a mistake, but in the end, Ronan still spoke:
"My mother died before I was born..."
"you said before."
Uh, wait, why does this sound weird
Before Xie Junping could think it through, he heard Ronan say again: "Mom and him met at Zhixing Academy, and they went to the wilderness together to meet up with grandpa. At that time, my aunt had a very bad relationship with them and knew very little about them."
The words were a bit confusing, and there were also subtle references. Xie Junping finally understood it after combining the information he had collected before.
Probably Ronan's parents met and fell in love while studying at Zhixing Academy, and later went to the wilderness together to assist Ronan's grandfather in research. At that time, Ronan's current guardian, his aunt, did not have a good relationship with the family and did not know much about the relevant situation. With his grandfather insane and his father missing, it was naturally difficult for Ronan to obtain information about his mother.
As he spoke, Ronan subconsciously stretched out his hand, and his fingertips touched the glass curtain wall, making a dull friction sound: "Growing up, I only knew one thing about my mother: He passed away before I was born."
With these words again, the strange feeling emerged again.
Xie Junping thought about it twice and finally realized what went wrong:
He has passed away, how did he give birth to a child
Well, I have heard that in the past, when medical conditions were relatively backward, there were cases where the mother had died of dysentery but was able to keep her child.
This is probably what Ronan is like
Xie Junping thought he had figured out the key and was about to continue the topic when he saw Ronan pull out the highlighter from his black notebook and draw an upright oval cabinet-like object on the glass curtain wall, with a The silhouette of a slender figure sits leaning against it.
The lines of the pictures are extremely simple, but the content to be expressed is very straightforward and clear.
"This is my mother..."
Ronan's voice was surprisingly soft: "I have never seen her with my own eyes, but I heard that this is how she gave birth to me."
"Huh?" Xie Junping was a little confused.
"It is said that it was June 1980, when I was 7 months old... in my mother's belly. Something went wrong at the base and my mother was seriously injured. She sealed the laboratory and used the only nutrition cabin in it to save me. Look, I was in here."
Ronan drew a small circle in the middle of the oval, which was the nutrition cabin.
Xie Junping opened his mouth, but no sound came out. In fact, he originally wanted to ask how to put the nutrition capsule in the fetus's belly, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly realized the tragic process, and he was confused there.
Ronan gently pressed the edge of the silhouette, still speaking in a soft and frightening tone: "I can't see her, but she is always there... This is my mother."
Xie Junping stared blankly at the fluorescent lines, not knowing how to respond.
Ronan walked forward, changed an area, and drew a few more lines, using the illumination pattern of the black light to form a depressing shadow. In front of the shadow is a prison-like fence structure, in which a person sits, and next to it is another small figure.
"Three years later, grandpa was prosecuted, imprisoned, and went crazy. The laboratory was gone, the experimental materials were gone, and the research results were gone... At this time, someone was gone."
Ronan gave Xie Junping a strange smile: "He should be here, but he is not... This is my father."
At this time, they happened to reach the starting point of the underwater corridor. Ronan put away the highlighter and bowed to Xie Junping again:
"I just said some boring words, which made it difficult for seniors."
Obviously, Ronan understood Xie Junping's thoughts. In turn, Xie Junping finally got a glimpse of Ronan's twists and turns and gloomy inner world, and Ronan's mood was obviously much calmer. This can be considered a credit!
Xie Junping sighed secretly and was about to respond when someone heard a voice not far away. Seven or eight people crowded into the rest area outside the underwater corridor. Some people greeted Xie Junping:
"Brother Ping, we are here."
