Ren Xiaosu fell asleep and caught a sparrow after guarding outside for so long in the wilderness. Although most of the time he lay motionless on the ground, anyone who knows how to do it knows that it takes the most time to stay vigilant while lying motionless on the ground. energy.
Before going to bed, he explained to Yan Liuyuan: "When you see those people, you must stay away. They don't know that Jingshan is dangerous. Most people choose to hide from Jingshan. They just want to pass there, and my intuition tells me this. not simple."
"Well," Yan Liuyuan nodded obediently: "Got it."
In fact, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan are a very strange combination. They didn't know each other a few years ago. Later, Ren Xiaosu decided to protect the young Yan Liuyuan. On the one hand, his headaches have troubled him for a long time, so he needs a night watchman.
At the beginning, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan made it very clear that they were taking advantage of each other, but after all these years, they couldn't tell whether it was love or taking advantage of each other.
Yan Liuyuan has always been very clever outside, but only with Ren Xiaosu can he act like an obedient baby.
Sometimes Yan Liuyuan would say that Ren Xiaosu traded his life for his life, but Ren Xiaosu never admitted this.
Ren Xiaosu is now going to investigate what happened in his mind. Tonight he waited for a long time deliberately, wanting to see if the "disease" that plagued him in the past would still appear. As a result, the chaos really did not appear.
It seems that the palace has been hidden in his chaotic mind, and now the black fog of chaos has finally dissipated.
Ren Xiaosu wanted to see what was in this palace.
Yan Liuyuan glanced at Ren Xiaosu who was lying next to him, and quietly picked up the bone knife and sat at the door of the hut. There was only a thick curtain hanging on the hut. It was autumn and it was a bit cold.
Just then, the rain stopped.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the curtain of the shack, and the boots had a unique slippery feeling on the muddy road after the rain.
A corner of the door curtain was raised, but before the people outside could completely lift the door curtain, Yan Liuyuan's bone knife was already on the opponent's neck.
It was a pretty face, and there was a beautiful woman outside the door.
Yan Liuyuan frowned, the visitor was not a stranger, and the other party lived not far away on weekdays.
The woman laughed and said, "Liu Yuan hasn't slept yet. Where is Xiao Su? I heard that Xiao Su is back."
"Sister Xiaoyu, he's already asleep," Yan Liuyuan said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me something."
Xiaoyu's expression was a little unnatural: "He didn't get hurt when he went out this time, right?"
"The tiger's mouth was pecked by a sparrow, but Miss Xiaoyu, you don't have to be so concerned about my brother, you are eight years older than him." At this time, after Ren Xiaosu fell asleep, Yan Liuyuan had a mature temperament that did not match his age when facing outsiders , No matter whether he met an acquaintance or not, no matter what the other party said, the bone knife in his hand never left Xiaoyu's neck.
Xiaoyu took out a cigarette and a lighter from the bag she carried with her. The cigarettes were cigarettes, which were only issued by industries such as coal mines and power plants that belonged to the asylum barrier.
Many strong laborers go to work not only for money and food, but also for this cigarette. They work for a day and issue a cigarette.
So when I got off work at night, I could often see a large group of people smoking together. Ren Xiaosu told Yan Liuyuan that the tobacco might be mixed with something more addictive.
And the cigarettes that Xiaoyu is smoking now are obviously not obtained by her going to work.
Xiaoyu lit a cigarette and took a couple of puffs, as if she was thinking about something: "I'm a big kid, I treat you as my younger brother."
"Oh," Yan Liuyuan asked suddenly, "Did you catch a cold?"
Xiaoyu froze for a moment: "Yeah, is my voice a little hoarse?"
"No," Yan Liuyuan shook his head and smiled, "I saw that when you smoke, one nostril does not emit smoke..."
Xiaoyu: "..."
I don't know why Xiaoyu always feels that Yan Liuyuan doesn't like her very much.
"Then I'll go back first," Xiaoyu said, "When your brother wakes up, tell him that I've been here."
"Well," Yan Liuyuan said with a smile, "I'll tell him."
After Xiaoyu left, Ren Xiaosu's voice suddenly sounded from behind Yan Liuyuan: "Don't bully your sister Xiaoyu all the time, it won't be easy for her."
"Brother, she's not clean," Yan Liuyuan said, "And she only approaches you because she sees that you can always bring back the prey."
"Who is clean?" Ren Xiaosu said calmly: "In this world, people who want to live can't be clean. They are all forced by life. Just keep away from her. Don't play tricks on her."
A single woman is too clean to live in this market town.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "They didn't say they liked me or anything. Also, are you sure she approached me because I could hunt prey? Isn't it because of my handsomeness?"
"Brother, everyone hasn't washed their faces for a few months, basically they all look about the same..." Yan Liuyuan looked at Ren Xiaosu speechlessly: "Brother, aren't you asleep? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Think about something," Ren Xiaosu explained simply.
Ren Xiaosu didn't sleep because he was looking for the secret of that palace.
In that circular palace, the walls are covered with old wooden cabinets, like a huge showroom. However, the display racks in the showroom were all covered in black mist, and it was hard to see what was inside.
There is only one table in the middle of the hall, and on the table is a brass typewriter that has been eliminated long before the catastrophe. The kind that rattles when you type.
There are only twenty-four copper keys on this typewriter, and each copper key is engraved with a word: "Fairness, Justice, Honesty, Reality, Friendship, Kindness, Wealth, Strength..."
It can be said to be very positive energy.
It's just that the typewriter seems to be stuffed with inexhaustible kraft paper, and no one needs to tap those copper keys, they will click and move, and now there are two lines of small characters that appeared in the afternoon: "Mission, give the prey to others; After the task is completed, the basic-level skill learning map will be rewarded, and you can learn the abilities of others."
He couldn't tell if it was his fantasy or for some other reason. It was said that someone could shape the memory palace, and the memory palace could even recast a fantasy universe according to the level of his spiritual willpower.
It's just that Ren Xiaosu feels that his palace... seems to be a bit different from the description of the memory palace...
But why would he let himself give his prey to others? This typewriter wants to make himself a good person
To be a good person in a world where morality is a luxury
There are no doors.
At that time, his consciousness stood in the center of the vast palace and looked around at the surrounding "display cabinets". There seemed to be objects floating in the display cabinets, but the inside was covered by darkness, and the dark mist prevented Ren Xiaosu from seeing clearly what was floating inside. What the hell is something.
The display cabinets were connected to the dome of the palace, like a huge museum. Ren Xiaosu walked to a cabinet and wanted to reach out to touch the things floating in the black mist, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the resistance of the black mist.
This is the power he can't pry into right now.
To know whether the palace really exists, Ren Xiaosu needs to prove it with actions.
