These white fish evoked a familiar sense of terror.
"I never thought that this kind of fish can still be eaten." Wei Dong frowned, subconsciously staying away from the oiled paper bag that smelled of dried kippers.
"I can eat it, that fat uncle was a little hesitant to see me, and ate a fish tail on the spot..." Luo Yao still had lingering fears when he recalled the fat uncle eating a fish tail.
Everyone: "… "
Shao Ling: "Are all fish in this world like this?"
Luo Yao: "This should be a kind of fish unique to Cold Night Travel. It is a relatively precious ingredient... It is said that this fish is not only delicious, but also has a powerful effect of warding off the cold and warming the body. Even if you walk into the ice and snow outside, you will not feel cold."
"Cold Night Brigade, how many brigades are there in this place?" Cao Youning interjected, "Who can give me a general knowledge of geography here?"
The task of explaining again fell to Qin Ci: "Actually, there are some maps and road guides in our public package, which indicate that there are four reverse journeys in this world, which is what people here often call the 'human world'. Four brigades'. The four brigades have very different climatic conditions because of the difference in light exposure."
Cao Youning looked at Qin Ci with some admiration. He didn't know when this person understood the basic terrain of the world so thoroughly.
Qin Ci continued: "According to our role here, we all come from the Bright Brigade, which should be the brightest place among the four brigades. I don't know what those light sources are, but I only know that the Bright Brigade is a foreign traveler. The place that you yearn for is called 'the place chosen by God'; although the daytime of the Light Brigade is not as good as that of the Bright Brigade, it is the second most livable reverse travel. It can also illuminate the interior of the brigade;
"The third fluorite brigade is relatively dark and cold, and there is no fire source. The people there rely on the unique fluorite in the brigade for lighting, which is the kind of fluorite used in our homemade projectors;
"The last is the Cold Night Brigade. According to the data, no one lives there. Although it is called a brigade on the surface, no one builds a house there. It is dark all the year round and there is no light."
Everyone listened carefully. Before, I only had a vague concept of the four brigade. Today, after listening to Qin Ci's words, I have a better understanding of the distribution of the reverse brigade in this world.
"But I see that Uncle Fat and the others seem to yearn for the Cold Night Brigade, saying that there are good goods there," Luo Meng continued, "He said that these white fish are precious and good goods, and the supply in other brigades is in short supply. As for whether the Cold Night Brigade is not There are other secrets, he didn't tell."
"Is he still coveting Xinchun?" Mu Yiran asked.
Luo Meng nodded: "He said that only a spirit dog can take people to the Cold Night Brigade, and Xinchun is a spirit dog."
Xinchun was very interested in the word "spiritual dog". At this time, her legs were straight and her eyes were round, as if she was listening to a very important event.
"He wants to cooperate?" Mu Yiran asked further.
"As expected of my brother-in-law," Luo Meng gave a thumbs up, "that's his purpose, knowing that we would definitely not lend Xinchun to him, so he tried every means to let us go to the Cold Night Brigade with them, saying it would not be a loss. We, Cold Night Brigade have good things."
Ke Xun looked at the good things on the table - those marinated white fish, I believe that no one has the appetite to eat them, so he put it away temporarily: "It's getting late and everyone is full, let's still Talk while eating."
Mai Peng also said: "The film is almost ready, and you can watch it in a while."
"That's fine, let's eat first." Ke Xun had already set the meal.
Mai Peng said, "My throat hurts so bad, I really can't eat it."
This sentence caught Qin Ci's attention: "Your throat hurts? Didn't you have obvious cold symptoms yesterday? Why do you have a sore throat now?"
Mai Peng couldn't explain it himself, this is indeed a very strange thing.
Qin Ci had already stepped forward and let Mai Peng stand beside a lamp: "Open your mouth and let me see your throat."
In order to see clearly, Qin Ci turned on the light of his mobile phone, frowned and observed for a while: "It's strange, your tonsils are red and swollen now, and there are some ulcers. Ordinarily, this should not be the performance of a bad cold."
Mai Peng cleared his throat and drank some water to feel more comfortable: "Yes, I have never caught a cold in this order."
"Sequence?" Qin Ci grabbed the word, "This seems to be a retrograde sequence."
"Yes, I'm in good health. Generally, it takes three or four days for a cold to pass! According to the usual order, the first day has a sore throat, the second day has a stuffy nose, the third day is sneezing and a runny nose, and the fourth day is basically the same. past."
Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran with a very serious expression: "Mai Peng is right, this is the normal order of colds. I think the cold happened to Mai Peng in reverse."
"Reversal happened?" Many people were not calm, and Lu Heng took the lead to say: "Could it be that this is a kind of... reversing time?"
Yes, many people think so, the time in this world is retrograde.
"No wonder it's called Nilv, and the time is so chaotic. In fact, the time here is retrograde!" Cao Youning was so surprised that he didn't even bother to eat.
Zhu Haowen said lightly: "This is not logical."
"What's the logic?" Cao Youning asked back, "My beard is the proof. When I first came here, I suddenly became unshaven. When I woke up this morning, it was shorter! Isn't this proof that time has gone back?"
"It doesn't count," Zhu Haowen said with no expression, "if time really goes back, we can't finish these words smoothly, move forward smoothly, eat smoothly... All our actions and everything will be reversed."
Everyone was quiet, and Shao Ling said after a long while: "He is right. Time in this world is not completely reversed, but there are traces of retrograde in some places."
Ke Xun has already pulled Mu Yiran to sit at the table: "Eat first, the lights will be turned off immediately, no one wants to eat in the dark. Let's discuss it after we've had enough energy, we haven't done a lot yet, look The newly developed film has enlarged the four photos of the white fish and studied them, all sit down and eat!"
The speculation about the time could not be fully understood for a while, and everyone simply sat down to eat.
When the meal came to an end, the lights went out.
The darkness brought familiar panic, especially for a few newcomers. After all, Xi Shengnan really died last night, and the body is now placed in a coffin and hung outside in the cold.
Under the cool lighting of fluorite and mobile phones, everyone cleaned up the wooden table after dinner and put on a projector.
The "viewing" effect at night is really better, and the light curtain looks particularly bright on the dark wall.
Because they were already familiar with the technique, Luo Wei and Wei Dong were responsible for pulling the film in the projector as usual. The two cooperated more tacitly, and there was no sign of shaking hands.
"This is Xiao Du's film, there must be some scenery of the outside world in it," Wei Dong tried to relax the atmosphere, "I don't know what the first shot will be."
Du Lingyu did not speak, and stared at the light curtain without blinking. She knew very well that this was a new roll of film, because she had already emptied the photo memory in the camera in the real world, so there was no such thing in it. There will be any traces of the past.
Came to this strange world without any hesitation, as if to show some kind of goodbye.
Mai Peng's words caused her panic. There are only a dozen or so films in this roll. Where did the previous ones go? Could it really be true to the saying that time goes back in time, the previous ones were used by the previous self? Then cut it off and wash it out? The remaining dozen or so were put back into the camera
"Brother-in-law! Brother Haowen! Brother Qin!" Luo Meng's sudden exclamation called Du Lingyu out of her imagination. She hurriedly looked at the big light curtain on the wall...
This negative film is a bit blurry, but it does not affect everyone's recognition of the characters above, because these characters are relatively close to the camera, and these are members that everyone is very familiar with.
"Because I don't know what I'm about to shoot, I can't judge the distance, let alone focus, so I can only choose the commonly used aperture combinations according to the speed," Mai Peng explained to everyone, "According to Brother Mu's suggestion, I maximize the The slow speed was retained, there was no tripod, so I had to fix the camera to a table for stability.”
Ke Xun glanced at the picture, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, as if his heart had contracted into an icy hard mass, which could not be relieved for a long time.
Ke Xun heard Zhu Haowen's voice becoming slightly hoarse: "How many seconds is this speed used?"
Mai Peng explained: "We are looking for the slowest speed, so I used the B door."
"What is door B?"
"It's a manual shutter. When the speed is longer than 30 seconds, you can choose the B shutter. It is completely controlled manually. As long as you press your finger on it, you can keep the exposure for a few minutes." Mai Peng said, "It's strange. The only thing is, the speed of this camera is from 1/2 second, and the slower speed is difficult to use, and it seems to be malfunctioning, so I can only choose the B bulb, and the manual exposure time was about 10 seconds at that time.”
Cao Youning said on the side: "Without a shutter release and a tripod, it's quite unbelievable to be able to take a photo like this in 10 seconds. We calculated that what we took in 10 seconds may be the scene ten hours ago. But if it is multiplied, it is also possible to photograph something from a few days ago.”
The light curtain was shaking slightly, and it was Wei Dong's hand that was shaking: "I'm sorry, I'm a little... I can't take it anymore. I feel bad when I see this photo, and I don't know what's wrong."
Because the camera was fixed on the table, the scene from the front of the table to the cabinet was taken. There were four people inside. Qin Ci stood by the table and could vaguely see the outline of the facial features, but it was a virtual Even so, it can still be vaguely seen that Qin Ci's expression was very bad at that time; further away was Mu Yiran, who was alone in the local area. The blurred silhouette can make people feel some kind of powerful aura, as if the air of the entire anti-tourism has been condensed; the farthest person is Luo Yu, standing next to the cabinet and seems to be scrambling with someone, that person is mostly half-length. Outside the camera, it is impossible to identify who it is.
"That person is me." Wei Dong said.
"Brother, how are you..."
"It's me, sixth sense."
Luo Yao: "But, why do we fight..."
"I don't know, maybe something big happened..." Wei Dong tried to get rid of his suppressed emotions.
The focus on the negative was on the face of Zhu Haowen, who was closest to him. He was sitting at the table at the time, his face was the clearest, and he was crying.
Zhu Haowen was shedding tears expressionlessly.
Everyone present was trying to guess the story behind this photo, but they dared not guess any further.
In the end, Fang Fei broke the silence: "Obviously, this is not a matter of a few hours or a dozen hours ago, it should have been a few days ago or even longer."
"But, we haven't come yet..." Du Lingyu said.
"The time is chaotic. Fortunately, we can still use the camera to capture it." Fang Fei said, "Something must have happened at that time."
Although I can't think of specific things, the appearance of everyone's gaffe in the photo has caused everyone's anxiety.
When everyone habitually went to find Mu Yiran to gain a sense of security, they found that this man had stood in the farthest corner of the light curtain at some point, as if he was unwilling or afraid to continue looking at the picture.
Someone in the dark clapped lightly, and finally everyone's eyes stayed on Ke Xun's face.
"Although I don't know what happened to the sky in the photo, it was a different time and has nothing to do with us now," Ke Xun's voice was calm and calm, "In case, in case Time goes backwards, and if what happened in the past really forces us to experience it again, then we at least have a choice."
"What choice?" Du Lingyu asked.
"Before that terrible thing happened, let's find the signature and go out." Ke Xun said, "The past and the future are all false. They only provide us with clues, not facts."
