Luo Wei swept his gaze across the faces of the crowd, and finally stopped at Mu Yiran: "That is to say, this beast existed before, but it doesn't exist now, and will it exist in the future?"

"Then now, is there or not?" Wei Dong asked very seriously, but it was still difficult to get rid of the suspicion of 'talking cross talk to disrupt the situation'.

Xiao Qinxian seemed to be deliberately creating an atmosphere of terror: "Not now, but maybe tomorrow, or even tonight."

"Climb out of the bottomless pit." Because of his fear, Lion remembered Mu Yiran's words clearly, and his voice was a little murmured: "In the end, it will fall again."

Abstract things that are too sectarian are sometimes subconsciously distanced because of obscurity.

When everyone was silent, Zhao Yanbao said: "I think the religious color of "Revelation" is too strong, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the city setting of Xincheng. But the forehead that Ke Xun mentioned just now should not be a coincidence. In other words, The image of those of us who have the book of the beast is more suitable for the woman riding the beast. The words on the woman's forehead embody evil language, or it can be said that it is a flag waving for purpose. Then we What about the beasts? Judging by the shape of the red marks on the foreheads of Chi Lei and Zhi Chun, these marks do not seem to have any resemblance to the shape of the beasts in their bodies... "

Zhao Yanbao felt that once he concentrated on thinking, he could ease some of the pain in his heart.

"We don't have to study this now," Qin Ci felt that his thoughts were repeatedly interrupted by the members, and at this time he finally smoothed it out, "I think the most important thing about what Xiaomu said just now is that this The relationship between the woman and the beast - we will not mix those previously analyzed, such as the beast is a demon, we only talk about this woman and that scarlet beast, she and it seem to be a community of interests, but in the end There is a stronger one - whether the woman dominates the beast, or the beast dominates the woman."

The topic seems to be developing towards an incomprehensible philosophical category, Wei Dong sighed: "The mystery is..."

Mu Yiran no longer quoted the words in the book, but gave a simple answer in his own words: "The beast was a woman's mount and comrade-in-arms at first, but in the end, it will attack women."

"Beasts are born from our hearts, but eventually they will eat us back. It seems to make sense." Zhao Yanbao said.

Everyone listened, and in the end, there was a feeling of "taking off your pants and farting", "the truth is obviously very simple, but it needs to be discussed at length."

"I don't think this beast refers to the beast of each of us," Mu Yiran's words seemed to have magic power, and every word tightened people's slack nerves, "Or, the beast of each of us is just this one. Particles scattered by a beast."

Wei Dong was completely ignorant: "Isn't it still a precious artwork just now? Why did it suddenly become particles again?"

"No matter which world it is in, no matter what environment it is in ancient and modern China or abroad, everything in society serves the centralization of power." Zhao Yanbao expressed his thoughts on the side, "Including the value of those artworks, those so-called auctions, In fact, they all rely on the breath of the top of society to survive."

Zhu Haowen, who hadn't said a word for a long time, also said: "We went around in circles and returned to the original point. What is the symbolic meaning of this beast? Personally, it is a demon, if it is a city or a world. ?"

Mu Yiran: "This so-called 'beast' must have an inseparable connection with the city, we have to figure out why Chu Zhiyong let us get the beast, and what benefits the 'beast resources' can bring to the police station and even the entire city. - If you can grasp this essential point, a lot of confusion will be easily resolved."

"Xincheng is a city of love on the surface, but the two beasts that have been stripped out are not only related to male and female love, they seem to be based on various psychological refractions generated by love," Su Benxin also joined the discussion camp.

Xiao Qinxian looked at the completely dark night outside the window and looked restless: "I think it's useless for you to say this! It's going to be night soon! There will be dead people tonight! What should I do?!"

Su Benxin said word by word, "I haven't finished what I said just now. We can't grasp the purpose of centralizing power in this city at present. We can only start from the individual and use the most stupid method to solve it." Then he looked at Zhao Yanbao. , "Can some things be released by telling the psychologist? This will make the beast in the body temporarily retract its minions?"

Because Su Benxin's description was too vivid, Yu Ji even felt that his stomach was beginning to feel uncomfortable, as if the beast inside was trying to break the restraint with its claws...

Ke Xun looked at Mu Yiran beside him, and couldn't help comforting: "The big guys are slow to react, and they can't turn around at once."

Mu Yi smiled lightly: "I'm a bit rash, but sooner or later the meaning of beasts to the city is a mystery we have to solve."

"Maybe I can go to the animal trading market tomorrow and find out some things," Ke Xun patted the boss on the back, "Right now, I'm just thinking about putting Doctor Qin and Hao Wen'er first... Oh yes, Lao Qin, Brother Qin."

Mu Yiran seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked at Luo Wei who was sitting on the other side of him. He felt that this person had not made a sound for a long time, and he felt strange again: "You, have been silent?"

Luo Wei sighed and answered the question: "You haven't forgotten about the cigarette, right?" - that's the secret code that we finally got to know each other.

"I didn't forget," Mu Yiran said, "Actually, your way of solving this matter is very good. It seems that you can deceive the painting by going deeper and deeper."

"Okay, I failed three times in a detour just now." Rowe looked down at the lemonade in his glass, "Every time during the 'space', you poured me lemonade and filled it up three times."

Mu Yiran raised his eyebrows, he really didn't have the habit of taking care of people to refill.

Zhu Haowen, who was sitting a little further away:…

"Hao Wen'er, just talk about it," Wei Dong on the side continued to lobby Zhu Haowen, "Tell me what's on your mind, maybe it will save your life, or you will tell me alone?"

"Nothing to say." Zhu Haowen was expressionless.

"Look~ What's the point? You have a red spot on your forehead, do you know you?" Wei Dong said, and began to worry again, "I hope your beast is hidden on your feet, or you will be disabled. , not fatal."

"… "

Luo Wei has already observed everyone's faces again at Qin Ci's request: "No change, according to the size of the animal records: Qin Ci, Yu Ji, me, Zhao Yanbao, Xiao Qinxian, Zhu Haowen. - If my traces are also If nothing changes."

"Yeah, Luo Wei, you also have a story of the beast!" Wei Dong seemed to remember, "What happened today, I don't seem to have seen you much in a day..."

"I've been here all the time." Luo Wei put away his innocent face, stood up and took the meal opinion card handed over by the waiter. This cafeteria will conduct a satisfaction survey for customers at the end of the meal. Last night's opinion card It was signed by Ke Xun, and Luo Wei took the initiative to undertake this job tonight.

Others were discussing with each other the possibility of slowing down the beast's intrusion by chatting their hearts freely, but no one was willing to tell their inner monologue in public.

Luo Wei lowered his head and carefully checked the options on the opinion card, occasionally asking Mu Yiran, "Is the temperature here good or better?"

Mu Yiran paused for a while: "I think it's good."

Coxun: …

"That's good." Luo Wei ticked the 'very good' option, asked a question or two, and then handed the opinion card and pen to Mu Yiran, "After all, you also participated in the opinion, this Sign it next time."

Mu Yi frowned and took the pencil prepared by the restaurant. He was a little puzzled for a while, and his head hurt a little after thinking deeply.

Ke Xun said from the side, "Why don't I come? Everyone's signature is the same."

Mu Yiran's pen was about to be given to Ke Xun, when Luo Wei said in an unquestionable tone, "It's different, very different, he's here to sign."

When Mu Yiran was lost, Luo Wei suddenly took out the pencil from Mu Yiran's hand again: "I'll do it, after all, I chose most of the opinions, I should come."

Luo Weili signed his name with force as if through the back of the paper, and the last stroke was very long, as if it was very artistic.

Mu Yiran looked at the signature carefully, not knowing what the last stroke was trying to emphasize. Seeing that the degree of curvature of the stroke seemed to be like the letter L, he asked directly, "Is it related to the abbreviation of the letter?"

Luo Weisheng has no love: "No..."

Mu Yiran was puzzled, and looked at Ke Xun next to him, and then heard the other person say: "I have made an appointment with Brother Qin, he will not enter our dormitory for a while, we will be under the big tree at the gate of the police station. talk."

Is this going to be talked about? Qin Ci's secret... Mu Yiran doesn't want to listen to anyone's secrets. It's best for everyone to get along with the current level of understanding. Although they have experienced life and death together, it doesn't mean that they have to bear each other's secrets, even if Ke Xun's secrets , If he didn't want to let others know, Mu Yiran would never ask for half a word.

There was a slightly irritable sound of tapping on the table with his fingers. The sound came from Luo Wei, Mu Yi Ran looked at the empty glass of the other party, and filled the other party with a glass of lemonade.

After filling up the water, the hand holding the pot stopped in the air: "Actually, you can try to be more roundabout."

Luo Wei held his arm and saw Mu Yiran open his book and wrote on it: 21:38, L.

Mu Yiran suddenly realized: "Did you want to try to write it out just now?"

Luo Wei: "I tried to write it a long time ago, but I couldn't write it, or no one read it."

Mu Yiran: "Then... Shefu? Hidden head poems?" - Mu Yiran felt that she was tortured by the fact that she was "unable to communicate".

"It doesn't seem to be in the same dimension." Luo Wei felt like the lonely wreckage of the universe in the three-body world.

Mu Yiran put the lemon jug at Ke Xun's place: "Don't let me touch it again."
