When Zhou Jiayu heard Meng Yangtian's words, his first reaction was that he was lying to himself. Unexpectedly, Meng Yangtian had already anticipated what Zhou Jiayu was thinking, and said that he sent Zhou Jiayu a video file and asked Zhou Jiayu to watch it before chatting with him.
Zhou Jiayu wanted to say something else, but Meng Yangtian hung up the phone.
The next moment, the phone made a crisp ding-dong sound, and Meng Yangtian really sent a website address to Zhou Jiayu. Zhou Jiayu stared at the website for a long time, and finally got up from the bed and turned on the computer.
Typing hard on the keyboard with frozen hands, Zhou Jiayu entered the website address into the address box of the webpage, then took a deep breath and hit the Enter key.
As soon as the picture on the screen turned, a video picture actually appeared.
Zhou Jiayu prayed in his heart, but he already had a vague premonition. He moved the mouse slowly and clicked the play button.
The screen moved, and the picture was not very clear because of the lack of light, but Zhou Jiayu recognized Lin Zhushui at a glance. Lin Zhushui seemed to be standing in a low cave. "Lin Zhushui." The person who spoke turned out to be Jiang Zhu, and he said fiercely, "Are you crazy, do you know what you are doing—"
Zhou Jiayu couldn't see Lin Zhushui's expression clearly, but he could feel his indifference from his tone. Lin Zhushui said, "Hand over it."
Jiang Zhu said angrily: "I've already said it, do you really think I'm lying to you? If you want to find that thing, you have to find Meng Yangtian..."
Lin Zhushui said indifferently, "You really don't have one?"
Jiang Zhu said yes.
Lin Zhushui's voice sounded again, this time it was as cold as ice, with a chill to the bones: "Then you can die."
Then there was a miserable cry. Zhou Jiayu saw a dazzling flame ignited in the dark cave. The flame was actually attached to Jiang Zhu's body, and he was surrounded by ashes in an instant. .
Both Jiang Zhu and Meng Yangtian have suffered so many lives on their hands. The mermaid bones in the school and the young people who were killed by them in the live broadcast incident alone numbered dozens of people. It doesn't seem that he felt pity for such an end, but Zhou Jiayu still held his breath - because he had never seen Lin Zhushui with such a serious murderous intention.
It was just a few words and the knife fell, and there was no intention to continue entanglement with Jiang Zhu.
If the video ends here, then Zhou Jiayu won't worry about Lin Zhushui, but although there is no light in the picture, slow footsteps can still be heard, it seems that Lin Zhushui is slowly moving forward.
Zhou Jiayu held his breath and watched carefully, afraid of missing any detail.
Just when he thought the picture would go dark, light entered his field of vision, but this time the source of the light was very special - Zhou Jiayu saw a flowing red river.
The river was deep under the cliff, and there was flowing magma. Lin Zhushui walked on the high cliff beside the magma. His face was made of a dull white by the dim light. Zhou Jiayu's illusion, he saw that there was no blood on Lin Zhushui's lips.
"Sir!" When Zhou Jiayu saw this, his heart seemed to be pinched, and he even stretched out his hand involuntarily, wanting to touch Lin Zhushui on the screen. At this point, they had not seen each other for almost three months, but Zhou Jiayu never forgot Lin Zhushui's appearance for a moment.
In the video, Lin Zhushui, who was walking in front of him, suddenly turned his head and looked behind him as if he heard a sound.
The next scene made Zhou Jiayu fall into an indescribable panic. He heard a loud noise in the video, and then the picture shook violently. Lin Zhushui, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, The rocks under his feet began to collapse one by one. Although the picture was very dark, Zhou Jiayu saw with his own eyes that Lin Zhushui seemed to fall from a height...
Zhou Jiayu felt cold all over, and even his hands began to tremble. He swallowed heavily, forced himself to calm down, and watched the video again several times.
"Is it possible that this video is fake." Zhou Jiayu and Jiba discussed, "However...it doesn't look like a fake."
Jiba also agreed with Zhou Jiayu's statement.
Zhou Jiayu said: "That's what Meng Yangtian said is true, sir, something really happened." He stood up from his chair, and swirled around the room a little anxiously, and involuntarily put his hand in again. In his clothes pocket, he was holding the piece of kraft paper, "What exactly does Meng Yangtian want to do?"
No one can give Zhou Jiayu an answer, except for the person on the other end of the phone.
In the end, Zhou Jiayu called Meng Yangtian's phone number again. He looked at the computer screen and heard Meng Yangtian's voice coming from the other end.
"Zhou Jiayu." Meng Yangtian said with a smile, "Nice to receive your call again."
"What the hell is going on with the video?" Zhou Jiayu was a little anxious, and his tone couldn't be controlled. "Meng Yangtian, what are you trying to do?"
"Me? Actually, I was forced to help myself." Meng Yangtian didn't mind Zhou Jiayu's anger at all, he sighed, as if he was really a victim, "So do you want to save Lin Zhushui? He is not in a good condition now. Wonderful…”
"What do you want me to do?" Zhou Jiayu gritted his teeth.
Meng Yangtian said: "Zhou Jiayu, you don't have to be so hostile to me, I have never been your enemy." He laughed, his smile full of madness, he said, "I didn't want you to do it. What, do you want to do it yourself... I can tell you where Lin Zhushui is now, but you must ensure that you can only come alone."
Zhou Jiayu was holding the phone with great strength. If Meng Yangtian was in front of him, he would have thrown a punch and hit him in the face, but at this time he could only endure Meng Yangtian's provocation: "Say."
Meng Yangtian said, "Do you still remember the Meng's ruins you visited last time?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "Remember."
The mudslide completely covered the Mengshi site. Zhou Jiayu had also seen the photos one month after the mudslide occurred. All the buildings were invisible. The hills were almost filled with soil, and some weeds began to grow on the surface. , looks rather desolate.
"Lin Zhushui is there now." Meng Yangtian said.
Zhou Jiayu didn't expect Meng Yangtian to give such an answer, he was about to continue to ask questions, Meng Yangtian said: "Of course, the place he went to is quite special, and most people can't go in, it belongs to our Meng family's burial. Gudi, you go alone, and when I confirm your location, I will tell you a more precise location."
Zhou Jiayu said, "How can I trust you, if you lied to me—"
"So what if I lied to you?" Meng Yangtian's voice was indifferent, "You don't have to believe me, bet whether I'm lying to you, and if you insist on sneaking someone over, what will happen to me? There's no guarantee, if they die there, you're the one who killed them."
"Okay." Zhou Jiayu said, "I promise you, I'll set off immediately—"
Meng Yangtian smiled happily: "As expected of Mr. Lin's disciple, he has the courage, then, see you tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
After finishing the call with Meng Yangtian, Zhou Jiayu called both Lin Jue and Lin Zhushui. As before, the phone still showed that the user was not in the service area, which almost confirmed Meng Yangtian's statement.
If Lin Zhushui was still safe, he would definitely not report to Zhou Jiayu on the night of the New Year's Eve to reassure him. Obviously, only in a state where he could not escape would the communication between Lin Zhushui and him be like this. Discontinued on special days.
"Are you really going?" Ji Ba was a little worried, "What if Meng Yangtian lied to you?"
Zhou Jiayu had already taken out his bag and started packing. Facing the will of Jiba, he bluntly said, "I can't afford to gamble."
Kazuha was silent.
Xiao Zhi was sleeping in the room, but was disturbed by Zhou Jiayu's movement. He rubbed his eyes in a daze, and asked his father in a low voice where are you going.
Zhou Jiayu was a little hesitant to bring Xiaozhi there, but he immediately remembered that the Meng family died in a fire, and Xiaozhi is actually made of paper, and whether it will be affected is unknown... Besides, Xiaozhi is the last Zhou Jiayu really didn't dare to take this risk.
"Xiao Zhi is good." Zhou Jiayu coaxed Xiao Zhi, "Dad has something to go out. You give this note to... Shen Yiqiong tomorrow morning."
Xiao Zhi was illiterate and couldn't understand when he took the note and looked left and right, but he vaguely felt something, and timidly pulled at the corner of Zhou Jiayu's clothes, saying, Dad, where are you going, can you bring Xiao Zhi with you? go.
"No way." Zhou Jiayu touched Xiaozhi's head, "It's very dangerous there, Dad can't bring Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi has to protect the ancestral tree behind the yard, and Xiaozhi will rely on the ancestral tree to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. What?" He said this with a gentle smile to himself.
Xiao Zhi was still reluctant to let go, so she just stared at Zhou Jiayu so eagerly.
Zhou Jiayu reassured it for a while, before it finally gave up the idea of coming over, and Xiaozhi said, "Then Dad promised Xiaozhi that he must come back."
"Well, I'll be back." Zhou Jiayu smiled, "I'll be back with Big Daddy."
Xiao Zhi took the note Zhou Jiayu left it and watched Zhou Jiayu go out with his luggage on his back.
The tickets have been booked online. Fortunately, it is New Year's Eve, and almost no one goes out. In addition, Meng's family is in the northeast, and it is not a tourist area, so Zhou Jiayu decided to set off alone. I booked a ticket for the early morning. He slipped out of the house with a bag on his back, of course, before going out, he secretly went to the freezer where Lin Zhushui's blood was kept, and took all the blood inside.
After going out and taking a taxi, Zhou Jiayu went straight to the high-speed rail station. Originally, he considered whether to take a flight, but the snow was too heavy, and Zhou Jiayu was afraid that the flight would be delayed and delayed, so he booked a ten-hour drive ticket, and it should happen to be in the evening when he arrived there.
In the taxi, Zhou Jiayu was really cold, so he opened a bag of blood and slowly drank it. The blood's entrance is ice, but after passing through the throat and entering the stomach, it turns into a warm current. Zhou Jiayu was a little sleepy again. He was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he pinched his thighs. The driver's uncle who was sitting in front of the driver noticed his movements and comforted him, "Young man, go to sleep, I'll call you when I get there."
Zhou Jiayu said gratefully, "Thank you, master."
"Oh, what's there to thank for this, where are you going for the New Year's Eve?" the driver said, "You are very young, so don't make trouble with your family?"
Zhou Jiayu smiled and said no.
"Is that going home?" the driver asked again.
"No." Zhou Jiayu said warmly, "I'm going to find someone."
"Oh, no wonder." The driver also smiled, "Is it someone you like? Oh, it's nice to be young, it's a good thing to be brave when you meet someone you like..."
Yes, it's nice to meet someone you like... In his babble, Zhou Jiayu closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
Half an hour later, Zhou Jiayu was called from the car by the driver, saying that he had arrived at the station.
Zhou Jiayu rubbed his eyes, thanked the driver, left the taxi with his bag on his back, and quickly got into the car after passing the security check.
The train started slowly and left the platform. Zhou Jiayu watched the lights around him go away, and everything turned to darkness.
In the car, Zhou Jiayu watched the video sent to him by Meng Yangtian several times. He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that everything would be in time.
The train drove for 18 hours, and Zhou Jiayu had two lunches on the way. Because he has been very tired recently, Shen Yiqiong and the others will not come to ask Zhou Jiayu to eat in the morning, but will wait for him to wake up naturally. Zhou Jiayu told Xiaozhi that the time was twelve o'clock noon, and when it was time, he would show the note to Shen Yiqiong and the others.
Xiao Zhi obviously listened to Zhou Jiayu's words very much. At twelve o'clock, Zhou Jiayu's cell phone rang, seeing that the number was called by Shen Yiqiong.
When Zhou Jiayu got up, he heard Shen Yi's exasperated voice, "Zhou Jiayu, where are you, what have you been doing—"
Zhou Jiayu said, "Calm down."
"I can't calm down, come back to me quickly! Where have you been, and what are you going for!" Shen Yiqiong was obviously incoherent. He was so angry that he asked a series of questions at a fast pace.
Zhou Jiayu had a headache when he heard it, saying that you should speak slowly, he could not hear clearly.
But the next moment, Shen Yiqiong's cell phone was robbed, and this time it was Shen Musi's voice, asking the same question, but in a calmer tone: "Zhou Jiayu, where have you been? "
"I have something to do." Zhou Jiayu said, "don't worry about me."
Shen Musi said angrily: "I'm not worried about you, how can I not be worried, Zhou Jiayu, how can you do this, if something happens to you, how can we explain to Mr.
Zhou Jiayu listened to this, but was silent for a while, and then squeezed out a low sentence from his throat: "If something happens to me, sir, you won't have to draw blood."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Thank you." Zhou Jiayu said, "I am very happy with you, thank you."
Shen Yiqiong started scolding again, but he was crying while scolding, and Xiaozhi's sobbing voice also came over, saying, Dad, where are you going, don't you want Xiaozhi
After listening to it for a while, Zhou Jiayu couldn't take it anymore, so he hung up the phone and turned off the phone.
He knew that this trip was an adventure, but he didn't want to wait any longer. He was afraid that Lin Zhushui had an accident because of himself, and that he would become the catastrophe in Lin Zhushui's life.
He was already a dead person, and even if there was anything, it was just a debt repayment.
Zhou Jiayu thought so, lay on the bunk and fell asleep in a daze. He didn't sleep peacefully, and his dreams were full of fragmentary pictures. He saw the pictures about the rebirth that he had almost forgotten about before the rebirth, and the bits and pieces of getting along with Lin Zhushui after the rebirth.
This was a dream like a revolving lantern. When Zhou Jiayu woke up, he found that his face was covered with tears. He got up from the bed, wiped his face, and wiped away the water stains.
Because of the New Year's Eve, the carriage was empty, and Zhou Jiayu was almost alone. He lit a cigarette, smoked slowly, and said, "Jiba, the moon outside is so beautiful."
Jiba said, "That's right."
"Wan Wan." Zhou Jiayu also rolled his eyes and smiled, "I still remember the first time I saw my husband drinking in the yard, and the moon looked like this at that time."
Jiba didn't know what to say, it was obviously a bird, but the sadness could be seen on its face.
"I really miss him." Zhou Jiayu said the last sentence of the night, "I really miss him."
The train finally arrived at the station, during which it experienced another day and night.
When Zhou Jiayu got out of the car, he turned on his mobile phone and saw that his phone was about to explode. The four people in the room desperately called him and tried to contact him. The most recent call record from half an hour ago.
Zhou Jiayu was a little moved, but he didn't call back, but just sent a text message to report that he was safe, and then turned off the phone again.
Now that he has arrived, there is no way to go back, and he can only take one step forward.
At this time, the continuous mountain range here was already covered with thick snow. At first glance, the grass and trees were all white, and the ground was covered with deep snow, which was enough to cover the calf when stepping on it.
Zhou Jiayu bought some more equipment in a nearby town, and went into the mountain alone, heading towards the Meng's ruins.
When I went to the Mengshi ruins before, Xu Jian led the way, but now it is a bit difficult for him to go alone. Fortunately, there is only one road to the Mengshi site, and following that road is Zhou Jiayu's destination.
Before Zhou Jiayu went up the mountain, he drank another bag of Lin Zhushui's blood. He was afraid that his blood would freeze, so he kept his body temperature close to him. At this moment, he drank it into his mouth, and felt his body was extremely warm, and his body was full of strength again, as if Lin Zhushui was by his side.
"I feel much better." Zhou Jiayu said to Ji Ba, he was very tired, he yawned slowly, reached out and rubbed his face heavily to wake himself up, "How long will it take to get there."
"Come on." Jiba said, "I remember that the Mengshi site is not too far away."
It's not too far, but it's also a normal journey. At this time, the sky is getting dark, and the road is full of thick snow, so it's not very convenient to travel. Zhou Jiayu tried his best to hurry, but failed to reach his destination before dark.
The sky began to snow again. In such a cold weather, Zhou Jiayu didn't dare to take a break. He turned his phone on again—this time, not to answer Shen Yiqiong's calls, but to be afraid of missing Meng Yangtian's message. .
As night fell, the white snow reflected gleaming light, and Zhou Jiayu stepped on it with a crunching sound, gasping for white breath, and moved forward step by step.
Finally, just before midnight, Zhou Jiayu finally arrived at the Meng family ruins mentioned by Meng Yangtian. He looked down from above, looking at the small town that had been filled up by mudslides in the mountains. Now there is no trace of the building at all, only the path of the debris flow can be seen, which is covered with snow, and the rest is flat.
Zhou Jiayu gasped heavily, took out his mobile phone and called Meng Yangtian. The phone rang three times and was picked up. Zhou Jiayu said, "I'm here."
"I know." Meng Yangtian said lightly, "I saw you, you came alone, that's good..."
Zhou Jiayu said, "How do I get in?"
Meng Yangtian said, "follow them."
Zhou Jiayu was thinking about what it meant to follow them when he heard a rustling sound from the woods beside him, as if there were some beasts. His heart tightened, and he projected the light of the flashlight, but he saw that in the darkness, in the thick snow, strange figures slowly crawled out - it was a black scorched corpse.
Although it looks like a humanoid, in fact, this thing is no longer human at all. They maintained their scorched posture, and walked towards Zhou Jiayu with their bodies twisted step by step.
Although Zhou Jiayu had seen it once when he came here before, he was still taken aback when he saw these things again at such a close distance. He held his breath and stepped back slightly, trying to distance himself from these things.
But fortunately, those scorched corpses didn't mean to lean on Zhou Jiayu's side, they slowly turned around and started to move in another direction.
Zhou Jiayu grabbed the phone and quickly followed.
"Hurry up." Meng Yangtian said, "Zhou Jiayu, I don't have much time left for you." After he finished saying this, he hung up the phone directly, leaving Zhou Jiayu with a busy tone of endless ideas. .
Zhou Jiayu once again felt that Meng Yangtian was really a bastard.
Although the corpse's pace was very strange, the speed was not slow, and it led Zhou Jiayu to the depths of the mountain step by step.
Zhou Jiayu struggled to follow, but he still insisted on gritting his teeth. At the same time, he was also observing the burnt corpse in front of him. There are about four of these charred corpses, all of which appear to be male. It looked almost the same as the ones they encountered when they were here last time, but Zhou Jiayu looked at these corpses, but inexplicably thought of the black liquid that Jiang Zhu made. He always felt that the black liquid had something to do with these charred corpses. Due to the inseparable relationship, he guessed that if those black liquids were completely resurrected, it might appear in the form of a charred corpse in front of him...
While thinking about it, Zhou Jiayu walked forward for a while, and after passing around some messy rocks, the scenery in front of him suddenly became clear. He seemed to have arrived at a rocky area, and there was not a single weed here. , all covered with thick dust.
Jiao Shi suddenly stopped, Zhou Jiayu looked carefully at where they were, but found that in a hidden place, there was a gap that was enough for one person to pass through.
Is it here? Zhou Jiayu was wondering when he saw the charred corpses were following the gap and slowly squeezed their bodies in.
"Are you really going?" Jiba, who saw this scene, became worried.
"Well." Zhou Jiayu said, "If Meng Yangtian really wants to kill me, he can do it now, why bother with these troublesome things?"
That's the truth, but Jiba was still very worried. He knew that he couldn't persuade Zhou Jiayu, so he quietly shut up.
Zhou Jiayu gritted his teeth, took off his backpack, and began to try to enter the gap in the mountain.
