Li Su came very quickly, and before Lin Banxia finished her meal, others had already arrived, still fully armed. After entering the room, he took out the two weapons prepared for them, Song Qingluo's gun, Lin Banxia's dagger.
"Li Xinyu and Sun Shui have already sent people to protect them. In the morning, someone came to try to contact them." Li Su said, "I stayed with that person. After the investigation, there is nothing special about it. It's just a normal infection. 's companion, if you are worried, would you like to go and have a look?"
"No." Song Qingluo said.
"And..." Li Su hesitated a little.
Song Qingluo: "You say it."
"If you can't use a gun, try not to use it." Li Su said, "After all, it's in the city, so it's not good if it gets too big. Also, I contacted the top and asked if they need to block the city." The best way to prevent a source of pollution from continuing to develop is naturally to block it. However, in the modern age where information is so developed, it is extremely difficult to achieve a perfect blockade. Usually, they will deliberately create some artificial accidents and then isolate that area.
Song Qingluo: "Let's seal it up first."
"Then I'll tell that side to do it." Li Su said, "Go ahead after you get the news... Yi Xinhe's test results are out." He lowered his voice a little, "That hair is indeed his."
This news is equivalent to completely announcing the death of Yi Xinhe.
Song Qingluo was silent for a moment, then hummed.
Li Su still had some follow-up things to do. After explaining things, he was ready to leave. When he got up, he deliberately took off his sunglasses and winked at Lin Banxia: "What were you two doing at this time yesterday? "
When Li Su said this, Lin Banxia immediately remembered something, her face was a little hot, and she pretended to be calm: "I'm sleeping."
Li Su: "I don't see it—" He still wanted to make fun of Lin Banxia, but found that Song Qingluo, who was sitting beside him, cast a gloomy look at him, so he immediately calmed down and said embarrassingly, "Song Qing Luo, you are really stingy, I was just joking with Lin Banxia."
Song Qingluo: "Why don't you joke with me."
Li Su: "You're not funny!"
Song Qingluo: "When you told Lin Banxia about the apple jade pendant, didn't you smile happily?"
Li Su was at a loss for words, thinking that he was betrayed by Lin Banxia, and cast a resentful look at Lin Banxia, Lin Banxia spread his hands and said that he was really innocent, he did not sell Li Su, it was clearly Li Su himself He was deceived by Song Qingluo.
Song Qingluo watched Li Su leave, and tapped her fingers on the table, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lin Banxia tried to change the subject: "When are we going to go?"
Song Qingluo said, "Watch the news."
Lin Banxia: "Huh?" He was at a loss.
It was almost three or four o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Banxia finally understood what Song Qingluo meant by watching the news. The news app on his mobile phone sent a breaking news, saying that there was a sudden gas explosion in a restaurant somewhere. There were no casualties, police were helping to evacuate the crowd and the area was cordoned off.
Lin Banxia looked at the address on the news, it was the old street they had been to before.
Song Qingluo answered the phone almost at the same time, hung up without saying a word, and said to Lin Banxia, "Get ready, I'm about to leave."
Lin Banxia said, "Okay."
It is said to be preparation, but there is nothing to prepare, and it is not like going to remote places such as deep mountains and old forests like before. It only takes an hour or two to go there. Lin Banxia simply carried a bag and gave Li Su to Li Su. His dagger was inserted into the strap on the outside of his thigh.
The recorder's car was waiting for them downstairs. In the car sat Li Xinyu, whom she had seen yesterday. Her face lost the lightness of yesterday, and she became a little depressed. There was another unfamiliar face beside her. They introduced themselves and said that they were the new recorder assigned to them, whose name was Zhou Zhixiang.
"Let's go through the procedure." Song Qingluo took out the dice and handed it to them.
Li Xinyu took a deep breath and took the dice carefully. The two dice spun a few times, and finally the number stayed at forty-two, which did not exceed the standard value, but it was still higher than yesterday. a lot of. Zhou Zhixiang also dice, which is lower than Li Xinyu, only thirty-three.
Song Qingluo rolled himself once, only twelve, a safe number that could no longer be safe.
"Let's go." Song Qingluo said.
The car slowly drove out of the community and headed towards the old town.
In the car, Song Qingluo briefly asked Zhou Zhixiang and Li Xinyu a few questions, probably to check their understanding of the whole incident. : "Li Xinyu, you don't have to insist on continuing to participate in this incident."
Li Xinyu said, "I and Yi Xinhe are good friends." She digs the holes in her jeans and explains in a low voice, "We have been partners for a few years, although I can't help much, at least... I You have to know how he died." If she doesn't go, she will lose her qualification to know the truth, and the base will not tell her what to do next.
The truth is such a truth, Song Qingluo hummed softly, and did not speak any more.
A few hours later, they returned to the old city, where the surrounding area had been blocked, and no pedestrians could be seen.
Lin Banxia saw Li Ye and Li Su at the scene. They should be the people in charge, standing with a group of police officers. When I saw them, I didn't come to say hello, but just waved at them, signaling them to go in first.
After turning a few alleys and returning to the old town, Lin Banxia noticed a strange silence. In the huge community, there is not a single resident watching the lively, and every door is closed, which looks like an empty city at first glance.
"Where are you going now?" Lin Banxia asked.
Song Qingluo said, "I'll go to Wei Zhimao's house to check it out. You take Li Xinyu around and check the surroundings."
Lin Banxia said, "Okay, be careful."
"You too." Song Qingluo said, "If you find anything, please contact me first, and don't act rashly."
Lin Banxia nodded and said yes.
Song Qingluo went in the direction of the Thirteenth Building, while Lin Banxia wandered around the neighborhood. This community is really big, and there is even a basketball court in it. Lin Banxia took Li Xinyu carefully around the community, but made some discoveries. From the appearance, the whole community is almost on the verge of assimilation. I didn't notice it before, but now I realize that not only the things placed outside, but also the curtains hanging inside the house are of the same color.
Lin Banxia thought of something, walked to the outside of a window on the first floor, looked in through the gap, and barely saw the furnishings in the room. It was okay if he didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he felt that things were worse. . Because the furnishings in that room are actually exactly the same as those in Wei Zhimao's house. Although there are some differences in structure, whether it is the appearance or placement of the furniture, almost all of them are deliberately imitating the appearance of Wei Zhimao's house.
Seeing that Lin Banxia's expression was wrong, Li Xinyu asked what was wrong, Lin Banxia said, "Come and have a look?"
When Li Xinyu heard the words, she also leaned over. She glanced a few times and found something was wrong. Just as she was about to exclaim, she met a pair of pitch-black eyes. Li Xinyu was taken aback, and took two steps back suddenly, showing a look of horror, and then looked up again, and found a pale face twisted against the glass - it seemed that the owner of the room found the peeking two. The man suddenly brought his face close.
"Ah!" Li Xinyu almost didn't cry out.
Lin Banxia also saw that face. After all, it was a peek that was discovered. He was a little guilty, and was about to pull Li Xinyu away, but saw the man stretch out his hand and knock on the glass window a few times, as if he wanted to say order something.
Lin Banxia stopped and looked at the man.
The man turned and pointed in the direction of the door.
Lin Banxia understood what he meant, and hesitated whether to meet this person. Then he thought, if this person was really willing to tell him something, it was also a clue and he should seize it.
After walking around to the door, Lin Banxia saw that the door had opened, revealing a dark crack. He and Li Xinyu also smelled the smell that belonged to honey. This time, this sweet smell was vaguely mixed with the smell of corrupt meat.
Lin Banxia hesitated for a moment, opened the door, and walked in.
As soon as he got to the living room, he saw the person guiding them by the window, resting on a rocking chair. He looked no different from ordinary people, but his face was a little paler. Hearing Lin Banxia and the others coming in, he lifted the Lifting his eyelids, he said, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Banxia said, "Save people."
"Have you been saved?" the man asked.
Lin Banxia thought for a while: "It's one thing to save someone, but another to do it." If it can't be saved, then do nothing and watch a group of people go to their deaths.
The man fell silent and closed his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Lin Banxia thought he wouldn't say anything anymore. Who knows, after a while, he said succinctly, "You have to join them before you can enter."
Lin Banxia paused: "Go in? Where?"
The man was silent again, and this time, no matter what Lin Banxia asked, he didn't speak again. However, Li Xinyu, who was standing beside her, felt something was wrong. She sniffed her nose and hesitated, "Mr. Lin, have you smelled anything strange?"
Lin Banxia said, "You mean the smell?"
Li Xinyu said, "Yes." She has a very keen sense of smell. From the moment she entered the room, she felt the strong smell was disgusting. It came from this gentleman."
Lin Banxia looked back at the person on the rocking chair. He hesitated for a moment, then walked to his side, reached out and patted it lightly. As soon as the hand went down, he felt that the touch was wrong, sticky and soft, not like it was A normal living person is like... a corpse that has been left for a few days.
"Sir?" Calling him again, Lin Banxia carefully placed his hand under his nose - it was icy cold, completely lacking the breath that a living person should have.
Li Xinyu trembled: "What, what's wrong?"
Lin Banxia said, "Dead."
Li Xinyu: "…"
"And it's been two or three days since he died." I didn't pay attention to these details just now, but Lin Banxia found it now. He sniffed his fingers, which exuded a strong smell of rotting meat. A familiar corpse odor, only a corpse that has been left for a few days will have this smell.
"Then what should we do now?" Li Xinyu said, "Let's go?"
Lin Banxia said, "Let's go, let the people outside come in and deal with the body."
Li Xinyu said, "Okay..." She nodded and followed Lin Banxia out. She was a little nervous and took a few steps forward, but didn't notice the sundries under her feet. Something tripped. The whole person staggered a few steps, but fortunately, he supported the back of the rocking chair next to him, and then stabilized his body.
Just as Lin Banxia was about to tell Li Xinyu to be careful, she saw that as the rocking chair swayed a few times, some changes appeared on this man's body—a piece of his skin fell off.
It stands to reason that it is normal for the corpse to be damaged, but Lin Banxia found that after the skin fell off, what was revealed was not flesh and blood, but a black hole... As if the flesh and bones were gone, only a layer was left. Skin like.
Li Xinyu also saw it, took two steps back in fright, and barely stabilized his mind: "He, what's wrong with him?"
Lin Banxia thought about it, grabbed a small sculpture next to it that was placed on the cabinet as an ornament, said to the man that he was offended, and gently touched his skin with the sculpture. Just as Lin Banxia imagined - this person has only one layer of skin left, and the inside is actually full of pitch-black holes.
Li Xinyu said, "Why is it empty inside..."
Lin Banxia was also puzzled, but he stared at the hole for two seconds, noticed something was wrong, and immediately said, "Quick, get out!"
Li Xinyu said, "What?"
Lin Banxia: "Get out of here!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Li Xinyu's arm and ran away. As soon as the two ran to the door, they heard a rustling sound. Li Xinyu couldn't help but turn around and saw a scene that he would never forget in his life. The man who had died on the rocking chair just now stood up suddenly, no, that was not standing up, that was being held up by something, and there seemed to be something inside his body that held his skin into a strange shape, Showing an uneven shape. He staggered toward the door step by step. Before he took a few steps, a black shadow overflowed from his nose and mouth. Then, the only remaining piece of skin, as if it had no support, was completely slumped to the ground.
In the air, the sweet and greasy smell was even more intense, as if it had poured into the brain abruptly down the nasal cavity, causing the choking person's head to faint.
Li Xinyu didn't dare to look back, and fled out of the house in embarrassment.
Standing next to her, Lin Banxia also felt that she had that sweet smell all over her body, thinking that she didn't know if she could wash it off in the shower.
After Li Xinyu vomited, she wiped her mouth and took out the black notebook from her backpack with shaking hands.
Lin Banxia almost thought that her next move was to throw the notebook in front of her and resign, but she took out another pen and took notes while retching, making Lin Banxia stunned: "It's very dedicated. ."
Li Xinyu said: "It's not about being dedicated, it's just that I'm afraid that I'll die later, and I won't be able to stay."
Lin Banxia gave her a thumbs up.
Li Xinyu probably also wanted to take notes to calm herself down a bit. After writing for a while, she finally calmed down and stood up: "Where are we going next?"
Lin Banxia pondered: "He said that if he wants to find them, he must join them, right?"
Li Xinyu was shocked and said: "Don't you really want to follow what he said? He is a person who is influenced by heresy and I don't know if it's good or bad..."
Lin Banxia said, "Just think about it."
Li Xinyu thought about your eager expression, but it didn't seem like she was thinking about it. This group of watchers is really strange. Seeing such a disgusting scene, she didn't even change her expression. It seems normal for people to get such a high salary. After all, this job is really not done by a normal person.
Lin Banxia didn't plan to act recklessly, she wanted to discuss with Song Qingluo, and headed towards the Thirteenth Building.
Arriving downstairs in the thirteenth building, Lin Banxia went straight to the sixth floor, saw Wei Zhimao's house door open, and went in directly. The sweet and greasy smell that I smelled before has faded a lot. Lin Banxia looked around the house, but didn't see anyone from Song Qingluo, and didn't know where he went.
"Hey, is this a note left by Mr. Song?" Li Xinyu found something near the door.
Lin Banxia took it over and looked at it, it was really Song Qingluo's handwriting, it said that he went to the eighteenth building, and asked Lin Banxia to go there to find him. Song Qingluo's handwriting was flowing, probably because it was written in a hurry, showing a bit of haste, but it was such a handwriting, but at the end, a small heart was drawn, and Lin Banxia pursed her lips and smiled.
However, Li Xinyu, who was beside him, looked confused, and said strangely: "Is this note really left by Mr. Song? Why did he draw a peach heart on it?"
Lin Banxia said calmly, "Maybe it's because we're afraid, so help us relieve our nervousness."
Li Xinyu's eyes were filled with suspicion: "Really?"
Lin Banxia: "Really."
"Okay." Li Xinyu gave up and continued to struggle. In fact, it was not the first time that she cooperated with Song Qingluo on a mission, and she had done so before. It's just that Song Qingluo was still alone at that time, and everyone in the base was a little afraid of him. Li Xinyu was afraid that he would annoy him, so he didn't dare to talk to him, but now it seems that Mr. Song is not as cold as the legend, at least he seems to be very considerate to his partner.
Lin Banxia planned to go to the Eighteenth Building immediately, but when he went out, he realized that he didn't know where the Eighteenth Building was at all. There are dozens of buildings in this community. He originally thought that the 18th buildings should be nearby, but the number of buildings in this community is actually in a mess. There are six buildings next to the thirteen buildings, and four buildings next to the six buildings. After searching for a long time, I could not find eighteen buildings.
Originally, Lin Banxia was thinking about knocking on the door again to ask, but Li Xinyu was already a little dark in her heart. She had already spit up the meal she had eaten at noon, and there was nothing to spit up again.
Lin Banxia thought about it too, looking at the state of the residents inside and asking the answer, it really wasn't necessarily right.
So the two circled around a few more times, and finally found eighteen buildings in a very remote location.
The eighteen buildings were very far away, with their backs against a small hill, and when they walked to the door, Lin Banxia happened to meet Song Qingluo and Zhou Zhixiang who came downstairs.
The faces of the two of them are not good-looking. From a distance, they are actually wet, and before they get close, the rich and sweet aroma is uploaded from their bodies.
Lin Banxia hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Qing Luo, what's going on?"
Song Qingluo said, "Let's go out first." He paused, his tone a little irritable, "I have to go back and take a shower."
Lin Banxia saw that his whole body was wet, and it really wasn't ordinary water, but sticky candy stains.
Looking at Zhou Zhixiang's face, he was about to cry, and he kept rubbing his skin, looking like he was not clean.
Song Qingluo said, "Let's go."
The group walked towards the exit.
Lin Banxia asked, only to find out what happened to Song Qingluo and the others.
It turned out that when Song Qingluo and the others searched Wei Zhimao's house, they found several people outside the door staring at them. Zhou Zhixiang was stared a little hairy, so he went out and asked a few people what they were looking at. Who would have guessed that they suddenly rushed towards Zhou Zhixiang without warning.
Fortunately, Song Qingluo happened to be by Zhou Zhixiang's side, he reacted very quickly, he stretched out his hand and pushed Zhou Zhixiang away, leaving the few people in the air.
Although the first blow was empty, these people refused to give up and attacked the two of them one after another. Song Qingluo had some spare energy at first, but in the end, he was annoyed. He planned to knock out all of them and take them away. His physical ability was different from ordinary people.
However, an accident happened.
When Song Qingluo slashed the attacker's neck with one hand, intending to stun them, he found that his subordinate's touch was not right - it was too soft, completely lacking the bones and muscles that a human body should have. It seems to be on a cowhide bag filled with water.
The next moment, the person who was cut straight by him exploded like a water bag, and the water with a sweet smell splashed them directly. Song Qingluo didn't like water at all, and being stuck on her body by this thing almost He was stunned for a few seconds on the spot. Angrily, he tried to grab the remaining two, but in the end he only caught one, and the other one successfully turned into a pool of honey and sprayed them all over.
Thinking of what this sugar water was, Zhou Zhixiang couldn't help but vomit, Song Qingluo barely suppressed his anger, and grabbed the man to interrogate him.
The man refused to talk at first, but after Song Qingluo threatened to take him back, he let go and said that it was in the eighteenth building. Song Qingluo wanted to ask again, but the man exploded directly in front of him. , so he and Zhou Zhixiang were hit again, and both of them were drenched.
Lin Banxia already knew what happened next. After Song Qingluo left a note for him, he went to the Eighteenth Building. He didn't seem to find anything special and could only return without success.
Although there are not enough clues at present, but smelling the sweet smell that can make people tired, Song Qingluo decided to go back to take a shower first and then talk about other things.
It was originally a rather tragic story, but Lin Banxia looked at Song Qingluo's rare embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but have a slight smile in her eyes, but after being discovered by Song Qingluo, she whispered to him. wait.
Lin Banxia: "…" He was wrong and shouldn't have laughed.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia: Hahahahahaha
Song Qingluo: You smile again
Lin Banxia: What will happen
Song Qingluo was expressionless: There will also be more water.
Lin Banxia: I suspect you are driving, and I have the evidence
