Li Su thought to himself that Song Qingluo was a strange person, and the most strange thing was that he was able to find another strange person who shared the same language with him. It is not scary to be poor, nor is it to be afraid of ghosts. What is scary is the combination of the two words, the title shared by Song Qingluo and Lin Banxia - the poor ghost.
After grabbing a takeaway, Li Su was chased down by Lin Banxia into the basement in a hurry, until he saw other people, the two people who were ignorant stopped chasing for the sake of face, and acted as if nothing happened.
Compared with the above, the basement is not so peaceful. When you look at it, you can see that there are a lot of people. There are still a group of people lying on the ground. The staff are holding some tools that Lin Banxia has never seen before, and will attack the residents who come over. Just lay down on the ground, and then push deeper.
Li Su led Lin Banxia all the way, and soon reached the depths of the basement. Lin Banxia also saw Song Qingluo who was fighting in the crowd.
He was as lithe as a bird, shuttled among the crowd, and easily brought down one piece after another, like cutting leeks.
Li Su was judging and said that it was indeed Song Qingluo. As soon as the person came, he immediately stabilized the situation.
Lin Banxia remembered something, and hesitated, "Did you see anything like insects after you came in?"
"Insects?" Li Su said, "Do you mean ants?"
Lin Banxia said, "Ant?" He didn't think the worm was much like an ant.
Li Su said, "You have something to say about ants." He pointed casually and pointed to the distance, "But those things were very afraid of Song Qingluo. As soon as he came in, he immediately exited."
Lin Banxia looked over there, and sure enough, he saw a dense black shadow where Li Su pointed. Although he didn't have anything like dense phobia, he could not help but get goosebumps when he saw this. He stretched out his hand and wiped his arm vigorously, sighing, "This is all... crawling out of a human body?"
"Yes." Li Su said.
Lin Banxia said: "By the way, I saw some clothes lying on the ground outside..."
Li Su said: "We haven't figured out that thing. People suddenly disappeared one by one. The specific situation will only be known after investigation."
Lin Banxia: "..." Can't everyone see those shadows
Just as Lin Banxia was thinking, he heard the humming of wings again, and it was very loud, as if it was nearby. Lin Banxia was a little strange. He looked for the sound and found that the source of the sound seemed to be the square where they escaped before.
"I... I want to go and have a look." Lin Banxia always felt that something was wrong and said.
"Are you going over there?" Li Su was a little puzzled, "but the place hasn't been cleaned up yet."
"It's okay." Lin Banxia said, "I just have a look."
Seeing that his attitude was firm, Li Su had to agree. He reached out and handed him a weapon, saying it was a stun gun. It could knock down those who wanted to attack him and use it for self-defense. The infected people around had no weapons, but with the number of people there, even if one person gave him a bite, Lin Banxia would have enough.
Lin Banxia took the weapon and thanked Li Su before heading towards the source of the voice.
Li Su was a little worried at first, but what he didn't expect was that the people around had no intention of attacking Lin Banxia at all. Instead, they seemed to be afraid of Lin Banxia, and quickly dispersed towards the surroundings. Seeing Lin Banxia disappear into the depths of the crowd.
Li Su was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, there were no monitors around them, and no one noticed this scene. How could this be? Li Su couldn't understand, was he also assimilated by Song Qingluo? But it shouldn't be like this... He really didn't feel the same kind of breath on Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia's stun stick didn't work. Not only did the people around him not attack him, but even with a look of fear on their faces, they quickly retreated towards the surroundings. This kind of fear is not the result of thinking, it is just their instinct, as if Lin Banxia has become a dangerous existence, as long as they get close, something terrible will happen.
Lin Banxia was unaware of what was going on around him. All his attention was taken away by the piercing flapping of his wings, and his voice became louder and louder. It was a pain that was indescribable in words, as if someone was using a dull knife to stab deep into the brain little by little.
Lin Banxia has always been a very patient person. He endured the pain hard and finally came to the source of the sound. But there was nothing there, just a dark, smooth wall.
wall? Is the wall making noise? Lin Banxia was a little puzzled. He observed it carefully for a moment, then tentatively stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the wall.
Just for a moment, Lin Banxia's fingertips touched something very strange, like a piece of flowing yarn, and like flowing sand, Lin Banxia saw the black on the wall like mist, and moved towards the top of her head. Rising up, he raised his head and saw the ceiling that was not high.
This glance made Lin Banxia suddenly dumbfounded. Above his head, a black shadow like a dark cloud was suspended, stirring and rushing, as if it might fall at any time and cover everyone. The result of the shroud, Lin Banxia has already seen it. , probably disappearing like a shadow.
What does disappearing mean to go to another space? Or just simple death
The sound of flapping wings sounded again, and Lin Banxia lowered her head and saw a small insect appearing on the wall filled with black mist.
Because it is too small, it is easy to overlook it directly. Fortunately, Lin Pinxia has good eyesight, and found its existence in the corner of the wall. It was only the size of a thumb, like a large winged ant, lying quietly on the ground, its tiny wings constantly rubbing against each other, exactly the kind of sound Lin Banxia heard.
It's hard to imagine that such a small wing can make such a harsh sound. Lin Banxia saw it, and it seemed to notice Lin Banxia. The wings paused slightly, but they no longer vibrated.
As it stopped moving, the black mist nearby began to gradually fade away. Lin Banxia stared at it for a while, and stretched out his hand towards it.
It twisted its body, as if it had been done a hundred times, and jumped to Lin Banxia's fingertips with ease. Lin Banxia noticed that its entire body was dark and its texture was as hard and smooth as a polished stone. On its back, Lin Banxia saw a green light. At first he thought it was emitting from it, but soon realized that it was not its light, but his own eyes.
Its smooth body is like a mirror, reflecting all the light that is cast on it.
Has the green line in his eyes come out again? Lin Banxia reached out and touched his eyes, but soon, the light disappeared, it curled up in Lin Banxia's palm, and even rubbed Lin Banxia's fingertips attachedly—
Lin Banxia slowly gathered her fingers and trapped it in her palm.
Li Su originally thought that Lin Banxia would come back soon after going to see it, but who knew that he quickly got into the crowd and disappeared like this. Standing in the same place and waiting for a while, Lin Banxia didn't come back. Li Su felt a little anxious and muttered that something would happen to Lin Banxia. If something really happened, Song Qingluo would know that he was the one who brought it back. Lin Banxia brought it, I'm afraid he has to be skinned alive.
Just as he was thinking in such anguish, he saw someone in the crowd walking towards him, it was Lin Banxia who was talking about him.
"You're back." Li Su shouted, "How is it, did you see something?"
Lin Banxia thought for a while: "Did you bring that box with you?"
Li Su: "What box?"
Lin Banxia: "It's to seal up heretics."
Li Su said: "I brought it... What are you doing?"
Lin Banxia said: "You take it out."
Li Su was at a loss, but he still took out the box from his backpack. They would carry these things with them, and only Lin Banxia, who followed Song Qingluo's alien partner, would have no configuration. Also, the heretical things Song Qingluo deals with are usually the most troublesome. In front of such things, boxes are usually hard to come in handy.
Lin Banxia asked Li Su to open the box, then put his right hand into the box, and with a slight shake, he put the bug trapped in his palm inside, and then he carefully closed the door of the box. . At the moment when the box was buckled, the people around him who were still active stopped moving, as if they fell to the ground like robots that had lost their power.
Li Su was taken aback and said, "Did you find that thing?"
"Yeah." Lin Banxia said vaguely, "It's in the corner next to it."
Li Su was silent for a while: "Don't tell anyone, just say I found it."
Lin Banxia knew that he was well-intentioned and nodded.
"Hey... This guy Song Qingluo has really found a treasure." Although the matter was resolved, Li Su was a little troubled. He lowered his head and set a password on the box, "Did you see something just now?"
Lin Banxia hesitated for a moment: "For example?"
"For example, something we can't see." Li Su looked into Lin Banxia's eyes.
Lin Banxia didn't have a guilty conscience, and looked at Li Su calmly. He knew that Li Su cared about him, but he always felt that it was better not to let too many people know about it, so he shook his head and said calmly. No.
Li Su couldn't see the clue from Lin Banxia's expression, he thought about it, and finally said nothing, just nodded slightly at Lin Banxia.
It happened suddenly, and the solution was also sudden. Song Qingluo had to solve the remaining problems. Lin Banxia didn't bother him, but came up from the basement with Li Su first. There was something in his heart, and he seemed absent-minded. Li Su said nothing, but he didn't hear it. He didn't return to his senses until he was tapped on the shoulder.
"What are you thinking?" Li Su said, "Did you hear what I said?"
Lin Banxia: "Ah? What did you say?"
"I said Li Ye is here." Li Su said, "I have to go over and talk to him. Are you here waiting for Song Qingluo?"
"Well." Lin Banxia said, "Go ahead, I'm fine."
Li Su said: "This time things are not normal, you better be careful."
"What?" Lin Banxia asked, "Why is it abnormal?"
"Usually, heretical things are incompatible." Li Su said, "The simple explanation is that there are almost never two cases in one place at the same time... A comparison is that there is only a little radiation, and all of it is absorbed. to be heretical…”
Lin Banxia said, "But there are two this time?"
"Yes, there are two this time." Li Su looked hesitant.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Lin Banxia asked, "Is there any problem?"
Li Su said: "This kind of situation is rare."
What Lin Banxia guessed: "Has it appeared before?"
Li Su nodded.
Lin Banxia said, "It couldn't be when Song Qingluo's father had an accident, right?"
Li Su smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, when he first met Lin Banxia, how could he feel that this person was not gentle and slow, as if he had no edges and corners at all. Now that I think about it, where is there no edges and corners? Obviously, there is no chance to show the edges and corners. He is not only smart, but also sharp, which makes Li Su feel ashamed.
Although Li Su didn't speak, his wry smile had already given Lin Banxia the answer, and Lin Banxia's expression instantly became solemn, and said, "So this matter might have something to do with Song Qingluo?"
Li Su touched his nose: "It may be, I don't know."
Touching the nose is a typical lie, Lin Banxia understood it, but did not force Li Su to tell it. He knew that in their business, there were some things that couldn't be said clearly, and Li Su couldn't do anything about it.
"It's okay." Lin Banxia said, "Thank you anyway."
"... I'm sorry." Li Su felt a little guilty. He licked his lips and whispered, "If you want to know more, you should ask Song Qingluo. As outsiders, we really don't know what to say."
Lin Banxia thanked him again.
Seeing that he really had no grudges, Li Su left with confidence, leaving Lin Banxia standing alone, looking a little lonely.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky again. The stars did not turn green, but they still looked like they were usually seen. He knew that his body had undergone some strange changes, but he didn't know what caused these changes and what they meant. , he had to find time to have a good talk with Song Qingluo, Lin Banxia comforted himself with ease, he firmly believed that as long as he worked hard enough, no matter what happened, it could be solved.
Everyone was busy for a long time before they managed to finish the aftermath.
The scope of this incident was too large and too many people were affected, making it extremely difficult to deal with the aftermath. Not only do they have to erase everyone's memory of this incident, but they all have to be sent to the hospital, and they even have to find a way to fill up that big, over-the-top basement.
All in all, everyone is busy, like hard-working ants, conscientiously trying to bring this matter to a successful end.
Lin Banxia couldn't wait for Song Qingluo, so she simply slept in the car in the second half of the night. When she woke up again, it was already dawn, and someone was beating the window and calling him.
Lin Banxia rubbed her eyes and rolled down the car window to ask what happened.
"Mr. Lin," the staff member said, "Mr. Song called you lunch and told you to go home and wait for him."
Lin Banxia turned around and saw that the staff member was carrying a lunch box: "Where are the others?"
"He went to the base." The staff replied.
Lin Banxia said, "Did you say when you will be back?"
"No." the staff said.
"Okay." Lin Banxia said, "It's hard work." He took the boxed lunch and took a few bites. He felt that his stomach was jammed and he couldn't swallow any more. After thinking about it, he still took out his mobile phone Song Qingluo made a phone call.
The phone rang a dozen times, and just when Lin Banxia thought Song Qingluo would not answer, there was a soft "hello" from the other end.
"Qing Luo." Lin Banxia didn't realize that her tone was a little coquettish, "When are you coming back?"
Song Qingluo said, "Soon, I'll go back after I've dealt with this matter."
"Alright, come back early." Lin Banxia said.
The two didn't speak or hang up the phone, so they fell silent. Listening to the breathing on the other end of the phone, Lin Banxia didn't know why, but there was a bit of astringency in her eyes: "I'll wait for you at home."
"Okay." Song Qingluo said, "wait for me to come back."
Lin Banxia was cruel and hung up the phone.
On the way home, Lin Banxia passed the supermarket and bought a case of Coke. The two of them hadn't had a good rest for a long time. This time it was over, and they must have a good rest for a while.
Lin Banxia thought that he was no longer short of money, and he took Xiaohua to his home, and even had a lover he had never dreamed of. Everything was so beautiful, and he cherished every minute spent at this time.
After returning home, it was a long and torturous wait. Lin Banxia had never been so eager to see Song Qingluo. This desire was so strong that he was really seeing Song Qingluo. At that time, he fell into an overwhelmed silence, watching him enter the room, watching him walk to his side, watching him lean over, and place a soothing kiss on the corner of his lips.
"Is it still uncomfortable?" Song Qingluo's tone was a little worried, "Would you like to go to the hospital for a look?"
Only then did Lin Banxia return to her senses: "I... I'm fine."
Song Qingluo said, "Why is your face so pale?"
Lin Banxia: "It's really okay."
Song Qingluo reached out and probed Lin Banxia's forehead temperature, making sure he didn't have a fever, and then he was relieved. Lin Banxia hesitated, and told Song Qingluo that he had caught the heresy with his own hands. Song Qingluo's expression was very relaxed at first, but as Lin Banxia's description became more and more solemn, she finally frowned: "Does anyone else know about this?"
Lin Banxia said: "Li Su seems to know. He asked me to tell others that it was a heresy he caught."
Song Qingluo pondered for a moment: "Okay, don't tell anyone about this."
Lin Banxia nodded: "I heard Li Su say that this is a bit unusual?"
"Well." Song Qingluo said, "It's not normal."
Lin Banxia said, "Does it have anything to do with... what happened back then?" Because he wasn't sure whether Song Qingluo was willing to talk about it, Lin Banxia asked very carefully.
Sure enough, Song Qingluo's expression was a little off when he mentioned what happened back then. He seemed to be afraid of something, and he was hesitating whether to involve Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia didn't rush, and just watched Song Qingluo silently beside her. Finally, after a long silence, Song Qingluo spoke up. He said, "How much did Li Su tell you?"
Lin Banxia: "Not much, he asked me to ask you myself."
Song Qingluo smiled and said, "It's still a bit of a desire to survive." He glanced at the time, "I'm going to make something to eat, let's chat while eating?"
Lin Banxia nodded quickly: "Okay."
So he cooked a few small dishes, as if talking about family affairs, Song Qingluo talked about what happened back then, but the first sentence of his mouth made Lin Banxia stunned.
He said: "In my father's study, more than one heretical thing was found."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo took a bite of the dish and continued, "Did Li Su tell you that heretics cannot coexist?"
Lin Banxia said, "I told you, but aren't Xiaohua and Xiaokuo having a good time together?"
Song Qingluo said, "That's why this statement is not accurate." He took some vegetables and slowly put them in his mouth, chewing and swallowing them slowly, "To be precise, they will not be created at the same time."
Lin Banxia: "What do you mean?!"
Song Qingluo said: "Usually the cause of heresy is infection caused by some kind of radiation. This radiation is limited and can be transferred in the initial stage of instability after being irradiated. That is to say, the radiation is relatively strong. That thing will absorb the surrounding radiation and transform it into the only heretical thing."
Lin Banxia understood: "So if two heretical things appear at the same time, either it was done by humans, or something abnormal happened?"
Song Qingluo said, "Yes, at present, there is no trace of human intervention."
Lin Banxia pondered: "What do you mean—that thing that created heresy also appeared in my father's study??" That's why there was a situation where multiple heresies appeared at the same time.
"That's pretty much what it means." Song Qingluo lowered his eyes, as if caught in the memories of the past, "This incident is very special, almost the only time that I have captured traces of its existence, but I didn't expect it to be decades later. , it happened again."
Lin Banxia said, "It appeared again?"
"Well." Song Qingluo said, "it appeared again."
For a while, the two fell silent and fell into contemplation. Lin Banxia thought about it, and told Song Qingluo about the strangeness of the sky she saw. Who knew that Song Qingluo had never encountered such a situation before. Repeatedly confirm with Lin Banxia.
"Am I also infected?" Lin Banxia felt that this was the best explanation for the change in his eye color, "So the eyes turned green?"
"No." Song Qingluo said, "When you first wanted to do something to me, you might have been infected, but then you didn't have the aura of the companions, and it was different from the infected companions."
Lin Banxia scratched her head: "What's going on?"
Song Qingluo was a little helpless: "I don't know either."
Lin Banxia: "Huh?"
Song Qingluo: "It's the first time I've encountered a situation like yours." He stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Banxia's eyes with his thumb, "You do have traces of infection on your body, but you really are not from it. Companion…”
Lin Banxia looked at Song Qingluo blankly.
Song Qingluo: "Maybe it's mutated?"
Lin Banxia said carefully: "A good thing or a bad thing? Can I fly too?"
Song Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Even if you mutate, you can't fly."
Lin Banxia: "It's unscientific. The thing we caught has wings." He remembered the classic sentence in superhero movies, the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation, and he suddenly became interested. "Will I become something like Ant-Man in the future? It's up to me to save the world in the future."
Song Qingluo looked at Lin Banxia's serious appearance, covered her face and sighed: "You better pay off the mortgage before becoming a superhero."
Lin Banxia: "..." This is where the cold water is poured, it is clearly ice water.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia: This article will be renamed Ant-Man in the future, thank you all
Song Qingluo: …
