It wasn't human words, the calling voice seemed to come from the depths of the soul, one after another, waiting for Lin Banxia's response.
However, Lin Banxia hesitated, and he vaguely felt that when he responded, something irreversible seemed to happen, so he chose to remain silent, letting the crisp jingle echo in his ears, refusing to speak half-heartedly. sentence.
A green halo surrounded Lin Banxia's body, leading him to a higher and farther place, and the surrounding pictures began to become more bizarre. In the darkness, Lin Banxia saw a flowing river of light. The sky was the surface of the river. Countless tiny light spots converged into a pale green river, which rolled around his body and flowed to an unknown distance. The land was no longer visible below, and it became a thick, milky cloud. I don't know if it was because Lin Banxia had been refusing to respond, the voice that had been calling his name gradually faded away, and finally dissipated like the wind.
Lin Banxia was forced to follow the flow of light to continue moving forward. I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour, maybe a month, maybe a year... Time lost the concept in Lin Banxia's mind, and he didn't feel afraid , and was not afraid, until a dazzling light appeared in front of him.
That light is the end of the stream of light.
Lin Banxia heard a strange sound, noisy and noisy, as if countless people were whispering. He hesitated, but he took a step forward and walked to the light source. Is this the heresy that caused it all? Lin Banxia thought, how to stop all this, does he need to bring this thing back? But how can I bring it back...
Countless complicated thoughts troubled Lin Banxia, but when he actually walked less than half a meter away from the light source, all the thoughts disappeared.
Lin Banxia saw the appearance of the light group clearly, and at the same time, some terrible thought swept his mind.
The light source is an irregular spherical shape, covered with mountains, rivers, land and oceans—exactly the appearance of the earth that Lin Banxia had seen in the textbook.
At this time, the sphere was covered with dense green light spots, and it was coated with a thin layer of gauze to make it look extraordinarily beautiful.
Lin Banxia thought that things would definitely not be what he thought, but even if he told himself, he involuntarily stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched the light spots surrounding the sphere. Just like before, the spot of light quickly blurred under his touch, like melting snowflakes.
"No way." Lin Banxia murmured with a wry smile, "No way."
The whispering voices are still coming from the sphere, as if there are countless people talking in countless languages, some people are laughing, some people are crying, some people are roaring, some people are crying - countless voices are like layers of entanglement. All the skeins of thread poured into Lin Banxia's mind. At this time, he had a mysterious feeling, and when he looked around, he could see through the clouds and look into the distance.
He saw that Song Qingluo was sleeping, his expression was peaceful, and his hands were still firmly around his body. Li Ye and Li Su were talking, one of them was lying on the bed and the other was standing beside them, looking unhappy. Ji Leshui was still very timid, he didn't fall asleep, huddled in the bed and shivered, still so pitiful...
The line of sight changed again. Lin Banxia saw Xiaohua and Xiaokuo again. The two children were watching TV secretly. Xiaohua was sitting too close to the TV. Lin Banxia wanted to scream out of conditioned reflex, but his sight suddenly stopped. pulled back...
The sudden change of vision made Lin Banxia very unaccustomed for a while. He staggered a few steps involuntarily. He wanted to hold something in a conditioned reflex, and when he stretched out his hand, he remembered that there was nothing around him. Lin Banxia thought that he would step on the air, but after reaching out to the right, he felt that he was being supported by something - his body stopped firmly in place.
"Who's there?" Lin Banxia was very surprised. He turned his head, but found that there was nothing beside him, except for those strange light spots.
What was holding you up just now? Lin Banxia looked at his finger, which was stained with a layer of faint green light. Like the other green lights, he didn't seem to like his touch very much, and it dissipated again unsurprisingly.
The melodious music that disappeared before resounded, calling Lin Banxia's name. These three words, at this time, have become the conditions for reaching a certain contract. The green line in the center of Lin Banxia's black pupils became incomparably conspicuous, and gradually spread towards the surroundings...
"No, no, no!" Almost three no words in a row, Lin Banxia miraculously understood what it meant, "I don't want to... leave."
The music began to rush.
"No." Lin Banxia said, "I don't want to, I don't want to leave." He reached out and rubbed his eyes, "Let me think about it again, let me... think about it again."
The music stopped.
Lin Banxia turned her head, looked at the round sphere, turned around, and walked slowly in front of it. He looked at the dots of light lingering on the sphere, and with his fingertips, smashed them little by little like poking bubbles. From this action, Lin Banxia suddenly realized something, showing an incredible look: "No way..."
no answer.
Before Lin Banxia could think carefully, his body staggered abruptly—someone pushed him behind him. Then came the second and third hits, Lin Banxia's back hurt from the smashing force. He didn't have time to turn around, and the scene in front of him suddenly darkened.
When Lin Banxia opened his eyes again, everything just now disappeared, and Song Qingluo's anxious face appeared in front of him.
"Banxia." Lin Banxia's body was hugged tightly, as if she was afraid of losing him, Song Qingluo's strength almost smashed Lin Banxia's bones.
With a grunt, Lin Banxia replied softly, "Qing Luo?" He asked blankly, "What's wrong with me?"
Song Qingluo said, "You have slept for three days."
Lin Banxia was stunned for a moment, looked out the window, and saw the bright sunlight.
"I slept for three days?" Lin Banxia said, "Really?"
"Yeah." Song Qingluo said, "If you don't wake up, I can only send you to the hospital."
Lin Banxia leaned against Song Qingluo's arms and paused for a while: "I'm a little hungry."
"Okay, I'll cook some porridge for you." Song Qingluo said, "You just lie down here and don't move."
Lin Banxia said yes.
It was very strange to see Song Qingluo so nervous. Lin Banxia watched him turn around and walk out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around, put his head back, and glanced at Lin Banxia, as if to confirm that he still in the same.
Lin Banxia couldn't help laughing and said, "It's still here, let's go."
Song Qingluo hummed, and then left.
Song Qingluo said that he slept for three days, but for Lin Banxia, it was only a moment. He slowly got up from the bed and felt his body soften, thinking it was the aftermath of lying down for too long. Looking at the phone, it is three o'clock in the afternoon, the best time for sunshine.
Lin Banxia went to the balcony and looked up at the sky. All those green light spots were gone, and only the blue sky remained, as if he had just slept and the world had returned to peace.
Lin Banxia watched for a while, the tip of his nose smelled the aroma of the food, he walked slowly to the living room, and saw Xiaohua and Xiaokuwo taking a nap on the sofa, Xiaohua's round face was sleeping brightly red, holding Xiaokuo The thin hand bones also rubbed.
Lin Banxia went to the kitchen again. Song Qingluo was wearing an apron and was lowering his head to cut the lettuce into thin strips. His black hair had grown long, so he simply tied it behind his head with a leather rope, leaving a few strands of hair hanging by his ears. He lowered his eyelashes, and his overly delicate face made him look a little indifferent, but it seemed out of tune with the firework-filled kitchen work he was doing.
"When did the rain stop?" Lin Banxia asked, leaning against the door frame.
"Two days ago." Song Qingluo said, "Jileshui said he couldn't see those things anymore." He paused while cutting vegetables, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Lin Banxia didn't really want to lie to Song Qingluo. Those words were clearly on his lips, but he couldn't say them. It seemed as if there was some force that stopped him from moving. He opened his mouth, then opened his mouth again. He opened his mouth, and finally just said dryly: "I don't know."
Song Qingluo pursed her lips slightly.
Lin Banxia changed the subject: "I want to drink Coke, do you have it at home?"
"Yes." Song Qingluo said, "But you haven't eaten for three days, so don't drink so irritatingly. After drinking porridge to cushion your stomach, drink Coke."
Also, smelling the rich rice fragrance, Lin Banxia's appetite widened.
Half an hour later, when the meal was ready, Lin Banxia sat down at the table and drank three bowls in one go before she recovered. Song Qingluo watched with her chin propped up beside her, and there was some kindness in her eyes.
While eating, Lin Banxia asked Li Su and the situation outside. Song Qingluo said that Li Su had no major problems, and his current mental state was not bad. After the rain stopped, the pollution disappeared, but unfortunately, the companions who had gone crazy before had no intention of recovering.
"Is that so?" Lin Banxia said, "Then this matter is over?"
"For the time being." Song Qingluo said, "The heresy at the source has not yet been found, and there is a possibility that it will continue to appear."
Lin Banxia heard the words, poked the food in her bowl, and muttered, "Really."
"Well." Song Qingluo said, "But there is a lot of emphasis on this matter, and it should be found as soon as possible."
Can you really find it? Lin Banxia was very suspicious. He really wanted to tell Song Qingluo about the things he saw in his dream, but no matter what, there was no way to say it. Some potential rules prevented his behavior, so he could only wiggle his lips slightly. , but could not utter a single syllable. After trying several times, I couldn't open my mouth, and finally had to give up.
After eating, Lin Banxia was completely relieved. He thought that Song Qingluo was going to be busy, but Song Qingluo had no intention of leaving, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Are you... not busy?"
"Not busy." Song Qingluo said, "Finding heresy is the recorder's business, and has little to do with us."
Lin Banxia said, "Nothing else to do?"
Song Qingluo was silent for a moment, and then said something Lin Banxia didn't expect. He said, "All the heretical things suddenly disappeared."
Lin Banxia was stunned: "How is that possible?"
"I'm also very strange." Song Qingluo said, "but that's the truth." He propped his chin, his eyes fell on Lin Banxia's face, and said lightly, "It's as if some force has cleaned you up, you fell asleep. For three days, I haven't heard anything about heresy."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo said, "Do you know anything?"
Lin Banxia shook his head reflexively, probably because he shook his head too decisively, but it aroused Song Qingluo's suspicion. Song Qingluo stared at Lin Banxia, looking at the greenness in his eyes that had not yet subsided. He didn't know what happened to Lin Banxia, but he could see that Lin Banxia didn't want to talk about it. A rare anxiety floated in his heart, and he endured some kind of emotion that was churning in his heart, and looked away: "Okay."
Lin Banxia felt Song Qingluo's disappointment, licked her lips and said, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't... I can't say it."
Song Qingluo said, "What do you mean?"
Lin Banxia said: "It's just very strange, I can't express it..."
Song Qingluo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she took out two dice from her pocket and put them in front of Lin Banxia: "Try?"
This is the first time Song Qingluo has taken the initiative to ask Lin Banxia to roll the dice since he first met him.
With the black and white dice in front of him, Lin Banxia chose to trust Song Qingluo's judgment and reached out to pick up the dice. The dice were very cold, and the weight was a little heavier than ordinary dice. Lin Banxia took a slight breath and threw the dice in his hand.
The dice rolled away on the wooden table, spinning like a spinning top, just when Lin Banxia thought it would keep spinning like before, its speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped peacefully. on the desktop. The eye-catching numbers caught Lin Banxia's eyes. He saw a 0 and then another 0, so he froze in place, not knowing what to say for a while.
He remembered Song Qingluo's words very clearly. 00 represented 100. When a person rolls 100, it means that the person is crazy.
But Ban Xia felt that he was very good, he could think completely, analyze rationally, and the standards for judging lunatics were vastly different from humans, so he could only look at Song Qingluo blankly, asking him to explain: "What does this mean? "
Song Qingluo pinched the dice, his fingertips turned white due to excessive force, he glanced at Lin Banxia, and slowly shook his head.
Lin Banxia said, "Why is this happening... Is there something wrong with the dice?"
This suspicion is obviously not right, because Song Qingluo lost it again, this time the value is very normal, 0 and 5, only a small five points.
Silence spread between the two, Song Qingluo raised her head and looked at Lin Banxia: "What did you see?"
Lin Banxia couldn't say what he saw, and naturally he couldn't answer Song Qingluo's question. So he had to remain silent, biting his lip hard until he tasted blood.
"Stop biting." Song Qingluo's fingers gently pressed his lips, "If you can't say it, forget it."
"It's not that I can't tell." Lin Banxia said, "It's me... I can't tell."
Song Qingluo: "..."
Lin Banxia said, "Am I crazy?"
Song Qingluo didn't answer, he looked at the little flower on the sofa, the little girl was still soundly asleep, the blush on her face was dizzy on the fleshy cheeks, making her look sweet and cute, just like an ordinary girl That way. But they all know that Xiaohua is not an ordinary girl, she is a heresy that has infected Lin Banxia, and it is her fear of separating Lin Banxia that prevents him from falling into madness.
So what exactly did Lin Banxia see? What is the connection between the heretical thing that suddenly disappeared and what he saw? Song Qingluo didn't understand, but Lin Banxia understood.
The green traces represent infection. Those green dots that appear in his line of sight, but others can't see, are the radiation that Song Qingluo said can turn ordinary objects into heretical objects. What Lin Banxia saw was the world, he wiped away the green light spot, and took the heresy with him.
The question that Ji Feng once raised came back to Lin Banxia's mind - why can't heretics be humans
Some kind of terrifying answer came to the surface—no coincidence, but some kind of purposeful choice, the mercy of the gods that kept radiation away from humans.
So the final question is, why... do the gods have mercy on humans
Lin Banxia's body trembled slightly and hugged her arms, feeling a little cold.
The two were sitting face to face, and Song Qingluo naturally noticed the change in Lin Banxia's demeanor, from being stunned, to stunned, and finally to inexplicable panic, with a deep sense of unease in his demeanor.
"Banxia." Song Qingluo called.
Lin Banxia returned to her senses: "What, what's wrong?"
"What are you thinking?" Song Qingluo asked.
"It's okay." Lin Banxia said, "I just thought of... some strange things. By the way, I have never asked you. Heresies have an origin, right? When did these things start?"
Song Qingluo said, "It's been around for a long time, but it's not always there, but there is a cycle of development." He explained, "It's like the ebb and flow of the tide, which repeats in a certain period of time. At the beginning of the period, the frequency of occurrence will decrease, and then it will continue to increase, reaching a certain peak, and then repeating the cycle.”
Lin Banxia said, "What is the length of the cycle?"
Song Qingluo said: "I can't judge, there are no rules." To put it bluntly, the quantity will fluctuate constantly, but the fluctuation is disordered.
Lin Banxia: "... Before that, was there a situation where mental illness was rampant?"
Song Qingluo shook her head: "No."
Lin Banxia: "Strange."
Song Qingluo: "Why is it strange?"
Lin Banxia said: "I just feel that the sudden abnormal situation seems... not very common sense."
Song Qingluo tapped her finger on the table: "Maybe there is, but no one cares about it." He sighed softly, "For us to be crazy..." It's really nothing special. It may be just one mission, which is enough to make all the people involved fall into inextricable madness. People in the base have seen this kind of thing a lot, and naturally no one will care.
Lin Banxia was silent.
"Your mental state is different from ordinary people." Song Qingluo said, "It may be because of Xiaohua, the way you feel fear is different from that of normal people, and there is a delaying process." During this process, the fearful Its own power has also been consumed by time. For example, the effect of fear must be different when a person sees the fear for the first time and recalls the fear a month later.
"So this dice is not a suitable measuring tool for you." Song Qingluo said.
"But is the crisis at least temporarily relieved?" Lin Banxia asked, "At least everyone, didn't continue to go crazy?"
Song Qingluo said, "Yes."
Lin Banxia laughed: "Let's do this for now, and we'll talk about the future."
"Let's go out for a spin." Lin Banxia said, "The weather is nice outside... I feel like my body is falling asleep."
Song Qingluo agreed.
So the two went downstairs, planning to go to a nearby place, and then go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for a feast.
There have been a lot of things these days, and being able to calm down and do some ordinary chores has become a luxury for Lin Banxia.
After the fall, it is not so hot. Instead, the sun became a pleasant thing, the green trees by the road began to turn yellow, the leaves fell with the wind, and a piece happened to fall on Song Qingluo's hair. Lin Banxia stretched out his hand, pinched the leaf in his hand, rubbed the leaf stem with his fingers and exerted a little force, watching it turn a lovely arc.
This action was really childish. Song Qingluo saw it in his eyes, but his black eyes softened. He said, "What would you like to eat at night?"
Lin Banxia said, "Eating hot pot? I haven't eaten it for a long time."
"Okay." Song Qingluo said, "Let's eat hot pot then."
Another turn in front is the supermarket. Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo continued to walk forward, and suddenly heard a harsh whistle, and someone screamed in horror - Lin Banxia turned around and saw a fully loaded car The cargo truck rushed towards here, and the direction of the front of the truck was exactly where he and Song Qingluo were.
Song Qingluo also saw it, his face changed drastically, grabbing Lin Banxia's hand and pulling him away, who knew that the truck suddenly turned again, but in the blink of an eye, it had already rushed in front of the two of them.
Lin Banxia was directly pushed out by Song Qingluo, and watched helplessly as the truck was about to hit Song Qingluo. Although Song Qingluo had a special physique, it could only be counted in the category of human beings. - Lin Banxia didn't dare to think about it, her body was cold, and a terrified cry came out of her mouth: "Song Qingluo—"
Change happens at this moment.
A mysterious feeling suddenly filled Lin Banxia's body, the voice in his ear disappeared, and the surroundings became silent. At first Lin Banxia thought it was his fault that he was too nervous. Until he raised his head and saw the fallen leaves above his head. They didn't fall any further, but hovered in mid-air... Lin Banxia suddenly realized that the time in this world stopped.
Just like what Ji Feng was able to do, Lin Banxia actually had such an ability. Although he didn't know how to use it, he instinctively used this ability at the end of the tragedy. ability to know.
The truck did not hit Song Qingluo, but stopped just moments before it was about to run over his body. Lin Banxia got up from the ground, walked to Song Qingluo, hugged him tightly, and pulled him out of the truck. The front of the car was towed out...
Just the second after Lin Banxia rescued Song Qingluo, the voice returned to Lin Banxia's world. With a shuddering noise, the cart full of goods crashed heavily into the front of him. The wall... the time of solidification, has returned to its normal track.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia: I seem to have superpowers...
Song Qingluo: What do you want to do with this ability
Lin Banxia: To steal Ji Feng's bank card
Song Qingluo:…
