Everyone looked at the tape recorder in unison, the cassette was intermittent, and it was like an old man with a broken bellows and a chest like a broken bellows.
Cen Jin blurted out: "So familiar."
Ding Baiqing looked up at him with a smile in his eyes: "There is another sentence behind."
Cen Jin: "What is it?"
"A pair of adulterers and prostitutes are surnamed Cen and Ding."
It must not be him. Huang Mao thought to himself, after all, his surname is Huang.
Huang Mao's evaluation: "The owner is a bit gossipy."
Saul and the black sheep were speechless, and he really believed it.
"Only so much for the recording?" Heiyang asked.
Huang Mao took out a box of cassettes from under the desk and said, "There are so many more, listen slowly."
After speaking, I flipped out a cassette and saw a string of numbers on the surface. I took out two cassettes and found that there were numbers on the surface.
Ding Baiqing glanced at it and said, "It's the date."
Cen Jin subconsciously glanced at the notebook in his hand, there was also a series of numbers in the footer, and the text was in the recording mode. He found the cassette with the farthest date from the far left of the box and put it into the recorder, pressing the play button and saying: "Tell me Come back, the owner of the recording speaks Chinese, is he from China?"
However, the record is in French.
The cassette made a rustling sound, and after a while, a gentler man's voice appeared: "...On January 27, 2001, I went to the Black Iron Forest with Abel, Adolf, and Alexander to join us. We drove in the car. The rumored highway of death.
Adolf talked about this road of death with great interest. Every year, many animals die. They are like pilgrims. They run to the road one after another, stand still, no matter people honk their horns or drive them away. They even take the initiative to rush to the road. Under the wheels of a galloping car.
He also said that the road was originally a grey concrete surface, which had been dyed black with animal carcasses and blood.
Abel, an honorary member of Animal Protection, couldn't bear to hear it. She said that the local government should take measures, either shoveling the road, prohibiting vehicles from entering or leaving, or building fences on both sides of the road.
All in all, you can't do nothing.
Alexander is a gypsy, and his hometown is 3 o'clock on the road, which is a long way of course, but he has indeed heard of the road of death. Probably because the journey was too boring, he slowly recounted the secrets of this road in the roar of our roars.
The death highway passes through the dark iron forest, the cemetery of all living beings, as long as the creatures enter, they will definitely get lost and stay there forever. A long time ago, in order to pass through the iron forest safely, people asked wizards to expel human beings from the ranks of all living beings, and at the same time paved a road through the black iron forest.
The magnetic field of that road is weird, and it hides some kind of mysterious power. Every month, it attracts countless animals to commit suicide on this road in a pilgrimage-like manner. The deaths and souls of countless creatures fill the desire to kill in the Black Iron Forest.
Since then, people can freely enter and exit the Black Iron Forest.
Alexander said: 'The selfishness of human beings confuses other creatures to commit suicide in exchange for a free existence. '
Of course we didn't take this story seriously. I don't know how many animals are killed on long-distance roads every year. This is because animals migrate or fail to perceive the danger of non-living objects, and animals suddenly become dumbfounded under the high beam of the car. Under the action, there is the so-called 'pilgrimage-like death'. "
The cassette has finished playing here.
Saul and Heiyang asked what they were talking about, Cen Jin briefly explained it, and his spoken English had improved.
"Did the notebook say anything about it?"
Ding Baiqing turned to the first page and said, "The date is the winter of 2008, and the last recorded date is the summer of 2010."
On a whim, Cen Jin asked about the publication date of the Siren Head series of books. Black Sheep and Saul invariably answered, "Mid-July 2010."
Ding Baiqing turned to the previous page of the written record: "On July 3, 2010, only two-thirds of the paper was used in one and a half years, indicating that the owner of the note is not recording every day, but recording special circumstances. In the middle of the month, I will record it, and the owner of the note is used to adding the date after finishing the recording, but he broke half of the writing and didn't have time to write the date."
Cen Jin: "What is the main record?"
Ding Baiqing: "The full moon and the waning moon, the activity time of the siren head, the pilgrimage-style suicide of animals and the abnormality of the death highway, and the shadows in the black iron woods. He said he..."
Ding Yiqing suddenly stopped, and Cen Jin asked him, "What did you say?"
Ding Baiqing snorted and looked a little strange: "He said he saw a miracle."
Cen Jin: "What miracle?"
Ding Baiqing flipped through the front part of the note: "It's broken, I didn't explain it in detail, but he seems to know some great secrets."
Cen Jin carefully observed the subtle changes in Ding Baiqing's expression, and only saw sarcasm and disdain indifference, but there was no intention to hide it, and there was no major emotional change, which seemed believable.
Heiyang raised his hand and said, "Well, I also understand French."
Saul continued: "There are two music festivals in Gaul, so I know a little bit. Maybe we can look at the notes and guess some special symbols in them."
"No need." Cen Jin lowered his eyes and refused gently: "We can just continue listening to the cassette. There should be records, and the cassette records are clearer."
He even suspected Ding Baiqing from time to time, let alone two unrelated strangers.
The tape recorder was put into the second cassette, and the black tape twitched and continued to play the man's warm voice, but this time it seemed to be a little more nervous.
"The car drove on the black death highway for more than two hours, and finally entered the black iron forest. We did not see any animals in front of us, and the plains on both sides were as dead as the African desert that we had crossed before.
It was a silence that could drive people crazy. There was no wind, no sound, no living creatures, not even an insect or a small bird. It was hard to believe that such a vast world could not find a single animal. Not a single insect chirping was heard.
Having traveled to many places for adventure, I quickly realized how unusual this place is.
I think it is because of the disorder of the magnetic field. In some places, the magnetic field is weird, and it is specially designed to kill humans and animals are fine. In some places, it is specially designed to kill animals and humans are safe. I think we have encountered the latter situation.
It was not until I entered the Dark Iron Forest that I suddenly realized that the road of death I just walked through was not really dead at all. The road in the forest was the beginning of the nightmare.
Desolate, cold and silent, it is like being in a deep sea, a desert center or a deep cave, and there are companions around but you can't feel any anger.
Yes, not angry.
On the contrary, the breath of death enveloped the whole body, and even Abel, who likes to talk the most, also restrained, and curled up in the back seat in a gloomy and low mood. Everyone did not speak. Only I was still recording, and I lowered my voice subconsciously. "
After a long silence, the recorder's breathing can be vaguely heard.
The deadly silence affects reality, and the eerie atmosphere infects everyone's emotions, causing them to feel flustered and irritable in this inexplicable silence.
Heiyang: "Why haven't you spoken for so long?"
Saul grabbed the tiger's mouth tightly: "Don't you think it's strange? Why is there no sound of a car? No matter how good a car is, it can't be completely silent. When recording, it was obvious that the sound of breathing could be recorded. Why is there no sound of the car?"
Black Sheep hypothesized: "Perhaps the doors are well insulated."
Saul: "What about so many breathing sounds?"
Black Sheep was stunned: "What!"
"The recorder, Abel, Alexander, and Adolf, there are only four people, but there are five breaths... No, one more!" Saul showed fear, staring at the recorder in horror: "It's still increasing."
Heiyang also heard the extra breathing, imagine some dull and gloomy environment, everyone's spirits are so tense, even the breathing is subconsciously held, thinking that it is safe in the cramped car, but unknown creatures appear one after another. The gasp, the heart attack was almost scared out.
Cen Jin tapped on the table and said, "Calm down, the people in the car didn't hear the extra breathing."
The Black Sheep and Saul were not comforted by this sentence, but even more frightening.
Cen Jin listened carefully, and silently counted the extra breaths: "There are 36 breaths in total, and the number remains the same, but the breathing rate has changed. It may be that the car has passed a certain distance, and some things can no longer follow, so I vacated the position for others. stuff to fill in."
Black Sheep and Saul shivered and almost wanted to hug each other face to face to keep warm.
"What do you mean?" Black Sheep's voice trembled.
Saul's voice fluctuated: "That is to say, there are many things of that kind on that road, follow them all the way."
Cen Jin commented: "It should be in the state of the soul body. Fortunately, there is no weight and shape, otherwise it should be squeezed more."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another voice from the tape recorder. It was the female voice Abel: "Do you feel a little crowded?"
Alexander: "A little bit."
Adolf chuckled: "No, there are two vacancies in the front and co-pilot seats, there are only four of us, and our stature is not too large. How can we crowd?"
"Yeah, why squeeze?" Abel agreed.
There was another suffocating silence, and only the four of them were heard gasping in panic.
After a while, the recorder said, "Why don't you speed up the accelerator and leave the Black Iron Forest, it's getting dark, isn't it?"
"good idea."
Adolf stepped on the accelerator, the car galloped, and the screeching sound of tires scraping the ground was finally recorded, but it didn't take long before Abel, who was in the passenger seat, said in a panic, "What is that?"
"What did you see?"
"Shadow! A shadow flashed by!"
"I didn't even watch it."
"Where, I didn't see it at all. Wait, be careful—"
"Quick brake!"
Squeak-bang! Bang bang bang... After the sudden braking, there were continuous collisions and the cracking sound of watermelons being crushed. It was like a car hitting a heavy object continuously, and the wheels were crushed from the fragile body, making a series of sour crushing. There was a crisp sound, and then there was the screeching sound of emergency braking, and several violent gasps and vomiting intertwined.
About a few minutes later, the recording had new content: "We gudong... Did we hit an elk or a roe deer? With such a big body, it can't be a rabbit. How can there be so many animals deliberately bumped over? They deliberately seek death, it doesn't matter. What's wrong with me? Damn, I'm turning the steering wheel to avoid them, and they're trying so hard to hit me, it's crazy."
"The Highway of Death, we met 'Pilgrims'."
"You mean those animals? Alexander, are they really our scapegoats?"
"That's what my grandmother told me, and she told me, don't stop and don't get out of the car no matter what you see."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door open, and the recorder shouted anxiously, "Abel, come back quickly."
"I can't stand still, maybe there are animals alive and we can save them."
"Abel!"
Crack, clack, clack... The sound of the car starting, the recorder couldn't believe it: "Adolph, what are you doing? Abel hasn't come back yet!"
"It's too late, we must go. Abel's untimely stupid goodness will kill us, listen to us Morse, those things are coming! It sees Abel, it sees us! Blood and animal carcasses will stop it The pace of our lives to escape the time for us to escape!"
Except for the narration of the recorder, everyone else spoke English, so Black Sheep and Saul could understand.
The speeding car, the series of accidents and the anxious and irritable tone constructed a picture of danger. I couldn't help constructing such a picture in my mind. In the dark forest, a black road runs through the front and back, the future and the road are unknown, a car driving Fleeing frantically under the night light, the animal carcasses, viscera and blood on the road behind him, and the monsters in the forest were attracted by the smell of blood.
In the center of the group of animal carcasses and internal organs, a woman who ran down her own way stared in horror at the monster that appeared out of thin air in front of her.
"I don't know what they're talking about, but I can only hear Adolf and Alexander's roars of horror, I've never seen them so terrified, even when they crossed the desert and encountered quicksand.
Curiosity drove me to turn around, only to see Abel in the middle of the animal carcass, and a tree in front of her. The tree was towering into the clouds, walking on its shriveled and slender legs, and stepped out five or six meters in one step, while Abel, who was one meter seven, was like a doll in front of that skinny thigh, and it was less than its size. Ankle high.
I have never had a phobia of giants, but at that moment, the panic between the weak and the giant, and the disparity in strength grabbed my heart. It turned out that I did not have the fear of giants, but that I had never seen giants that made me fear before.
The thing reached out and grabbed Abel, put it in its mouth and bit it in half, the sound of chewing through the trumpet-shaped head expanded outwards, lingering in my ears.
I finally saw what the monster looked like, God, what kind of monster is that? "
The cassette stopped abruptly, and Cen Jin quickly took out another cassette and put it in.
"Siren Head, I finally know its name.
The speed of the car was so fast that the engine stopped smoking and stopped in the middle of the bridge. The two monsters behind him were still roaring, and even made the sound of Abel for help.
Killing and killing hearts, this monster can imitate the victim's voice to hunt, it's terrible, is it a highly intelligent creature
The three of us hid in the car and shivered, thinking that we could not escape the monster's hunt, but unexpectedly, the lighthouse on the opposite side suddenly lit up, and the shells passed through our heads like a shower, hitting the monster, rumbling, and the whole dead black iron forest. It seems to come alive.
The monster was chased away, we got out of the car and walked across the bridge, and saw a yellow warning sign next to it: 'military fi', a military restricted area.
When did the Dark Iron Forest become a military restricted area? "
Cen Jin looked at the box full of cassettes and felt that it would be too time-consuming to listen to one after another, so he asked Black Sheep and Saul to help find another tape recorder, and then played it in multiples.
The meaningless content is directly fast-forward, and the useful content is listened to twice and recorded.
He took the notebook and recorded: "On May 13, 2001, the recorder and friends stayed in the military exclusion zone to investigate gypsies, the Black Iron Forest, and Siren Head. On March 12, 2002, Adolph and Alexander died while hunting for Siren Head. , I have a new partner, a very beautiful brunette girl, her name is Endo."
Black Sheep and Saul each came over with a tape recorder and said, "I found it."
Cen Jin took it and played the cassette at the same time.
Heiyang and Saul were amazed. The three cassettes were played at the same time, and Chinese and English were mixed from time to time. He also played at double speed. Wouldn't this miss key information
Cen Jin lowered his head to take notes, his pupils showed a touch of scarlet, but he hadn't noticed it yet.
At this time, Ding Baiqing took out the fourth tape recorder from the cabinet behind him, put it into the cassette and said, "I will control the speed."
Cen Jin didn't lift his head: "Okay."
"On May 12, 2002, the commander sent an army into the Dark Iron Forest to collect samples. I strongly object to it. There is currently no powerful weapon against monsters, and rushing to it will only result in death.
But the chief said they were fully prepared.
May 20, 2002, well, the so-called complete preparation is the Holy See exorcism pickets, what's the use of those rubbish who seek power by theocracy
Endor is right, the government that relies on the Holy See has long been rotten, and the Holy See has rotted into the mud since the Middle Ages or even earlier. Even if the gods are still there, they will definitely spurn such a Holy See and such human beings.
On July 20, 2002, the two-month sample collection ended and the entire army was wiped out. On September 11, 2002, the army and pickets were dispatched again. In October of the same year, the entire army was wiped out.
Taking samples temporarily stopped, Endor and I were dispatched into the underground research room, and we saw a young siren head. "
"In the beginning, I didn't like this monster. My friends all died at the hands of its own kind. I had malicious intentions, and the process of collecting data was not soft, and I saw that it was brutally treated by other researchers.
Here, it is not only a monster, but also a guinea pig with tenacious vitality. Any cruel experiment you can think of has been applied to it, and even unimaginable cruel methods have fallen on it.
The girlfriend Endo is soft-hearted, sympathizes with the monster, soft-hearted to the monster, and even gives the monster candy!
I roughly pulled Endor away, electrocuted the monster multiple times, and warned it to stay away from Endor until two years later, with a new plan on it. "
"In the winter of 2004, it was snowing heavily, monsters attacked and destroyed the base. I tried desperately to find my girlfriend Endo and found that she was protected by the monster. In the early spring of 2005, I took my pregnant girlfriend Endo to live in the Black Iron Forest. In the depths of , build a wooden hut with the materials of the base, monsters stay around the hut, and occasionally go out to hunt and eat the meat of those animals.
… I don’t know why it doesn’t eat human flesh, and why it saves much.
Perhaps, it is indeed different from other monsters. "
"My girlfriend calls it Xiao Di, and occasionally I call it Di Ge, and it communicates with us by imitating human voices.
It's ridiculous, but human beings are a kind of emotionally impulsive animals. They will have feelings for the non-human species with their names, and they will regard the non-human species that can communicate normally as family members.
After Endor gave birth, I also counted him as part of the family. "
The tip of the pen paused for a few seconds, the scarlet mist filled Cen Jin's eyes, and his voice was calm: "In the twelfth lunar month of 2007, the Holy See Exorcism Picket and the Bharata Magic Army joined forces to attack the Iron Forest, and the child was eaten by the fleeing siren head. , pretending to be a child's voice to deceive Endo and eat Endo.
Xiaodi was not well protected and was taken away again by the Holy See, who also took seven or eight siren heads.
Then half of the magic army and the pickets withdrew, leaving half of the army to replenish a large number of mercenaries, special departments of some institutions, special units... They frantically hunted down the remaining siren heads in the Dark Iron Forest.
I hate them, I hate this group of monsters, and I tell them all the characteristics, abilities and weaknesses of Siren Head, which I have researched through Xiao Flute over the years, including Siren Head's lair.
It took seven days and seven nights to assist the army in exterminating Siren Head, a large amount of arms, cars, helicopters... The Dark Iron Forest was almost turned into a cemetery of scrap iron, and the Siren Head was finally strangled. "
"On January 7, 2008, the whole team won, I knelt down and cried, my wife and children were finally able to rest their eyes.
On January 8, 2008, everyone rested in place, swept the battlefield, and observed the huge body structure of those monsters. No one found anything unusual in the Dark Iron Forest.
Only I found out that I have studied this forest for many years. My wife and children, friends and first love are buried in this forest. I can hear its breath and feel every change in it.
So when the horrific darkness and danger broke out, I was the first to see that something was wrong, but no one believed me.
Of course, scientific researchers are only useful in the rear, and on the battlefield, they are no different from ants. What's more, in the battlefield after victory, no one likes to listen to cold water. "
"... Zi, Zi Zi, on January 9, 2008, it turned out that it was not a devil, it was just a vicious dog guarding the door."
"We unleashed the ultimate demon."
Play the last cassette, "I found Xiaodi and rescued it, and on the way to escape, I was brooding about the fact that humans released demons, and one day later, we were still separated.
I couldn't find Xiaodi's whereabouts again, so I returned to the Dark Iron Forest in a dismal manner. I knew that this time I would be buried in the forest, and my soul would be reunited with my wife, children, and friends. "
Cen Jin raised his head and spit out two words: "Brother Di."
Heiyang and Saul were completely immersed in the recording. When they heard the words 'Di Ge', they were startled and hugged each other, mistakenly thinking that Cen Jin was the recorder's wife Endo.
"You you are you Endor?"
Huang Mao pulled his collar: "Open your dog's eyes and see carefully."
Black Sheep and Saul were not interested in his nudity and just screamed: "Your eyes! The color of the devil!"
Ding Yiqing spread out the notebook and stuffed it into Huang Mao's hand, preventing him from pulling his clothes while blocking the exposed collarbone: "The note records that the recorder named 'Morse' stayed in the Black Iron Forest and spent two or three years studying the forest. secret in.
The general idea is that the Dark Iron Forest was once the place where the angels fell, and the entrance to hell in the Bible and Europe.
The role of Siren Head is similar to that of the three-headed dog guarding the gates of hell. With their presence, the gate will not be opened. Once it is completely destroyed, the big weird and ferocious monsters in hell will come out in full force.
Raise monsters, use monsters to suppress monsters, and it happens that the siren head of the ancient creature was selected to become this monster.
Because the siren head has perfect camouflage and imitation capabilities, its earliest appearance is not what we are familiar with now. It has many forms, including common things such as street lamps and big trees.
Perfect camouflage is actually a super evolutionary ability. It can disguise itself as the feared appearance of the monsters in the Dark Iron Forest through evolution, and then use imitating various sounds to intimidate them, so that they do not dare to act rashly.
Morse wrote that 'the earliest records of breeding can only be traced back to the 110,000 witches who disappeared in the medieval St. Ursula, but this is only speculation, and I don't have much evidence to support this argument', after which he seems to have found some way to re- Close up of Dark Iron Forest.
until-"
Huang Mao: "Don't stop talking."
Ding Baiqing touched the yellow hair and said, "Until someone moved the Black Iron Forest." He smiled inexplicably: "There are people who are clever enough to mess with it again."
With a 'pop', Huang Mao patted Ding Baiqing's hand away: "You touch the dog."
Ding Yiqing stretched out his hand to wrap Cen Jin's long hair: "A dog's hair is softer than this malnourished yellow hair." After saying that, he flipped his wrist and cut his long hair neatly.
Only the grafted part is broken, and it is exactly the same.
Throwing away the broken hair, Ding Baiqing held up Huang Mao's face forcefully: "It still looks pleasing to the eye."
Huang Mao slapped Ding Baiqing's pretty face and pushed it away: "Go away."
He indifferently held Saul and the Black Sheep, who were trembling in their arms, and the latter trembled even more.
"..." Huang Mao pressed his temples, and asked Ding Baiqing in a low voice after a while with his upper body, "Is there still a live broadcast outside?"
Ding Baiqing: "Originally, they paid more attention to the golden eye."
Huang Mao: "Originally?"
"I made a bet on you, and I lost all my money," Ding Baiqing said, "I bet on you to win."
The knuckles of Huangmao's knuckles clicked, but his tone was calm: "Can you cover it up, I don't want to be forced to be famous for the time being."
Ding Yiqing thought for a while, agreed, and then asked, "Aren't you curious about what the bet is?"
"No matter what, I'll smash it."
Ding Paiqing remembered that scene, and was looking forward to it. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply and said, "It's done."
Huang Mao lifted his feet and walked out of the wooden house. The other two thought about it and found that Ding Baiqing, who always wore a gentle smile, was more terrifying, so they followed behind Cen Jin and asked, "Where are you going?"
Seeing Huang Mao walking towards the door without turning his head, the two quickly stopped him: "Aren't you afraid of death? When you walk out of this door with your front foot, you will be chased by monster dolls on your back foot. Did you forget?"
Huang Mao stopped suddenly and pointed his index finger to the two of them: "Don't move, don't follow."
He looked back at the wooden house, and Ding Baiqing, holding a black umbrella, was standing high on the roof, smiling and waving at him, a bastard who didn't say a word of apology.
"Stay back in the cabin, it's safe there."
The two of Saul hesitated when they heard Huang Mao ask, "What have you done out of jealousy?"
The two were puzzled: "Huh?"
Huang Mao: "This trial is weird. The monsters representing the seven deadly sins are complete. The author is quite mysterious, and he calls himself a knight of the apocalypse. It is hard not to make people suspect."
What is he talking about? The memories of the two of Saul did not come back.
It's not like Cen Jin just pushed the brain to work, develops the brain field by instinct, breaks through the memory barrier set by the trial under strong stimulation, and remembers everything.
The yellow-haired scarlet eyes looked at the two of them: "The trial will not bring the three of us together for no reason, I happen to know you all, one of you is the lead singer of a successful rock band, and the other is the lead singer of a bar rock band who did nothing.
Maybe you had times when you were jealous of each other, and you did something wrong because of jealousy. Anyway, the cause and the result of the incident are almost the same. You can go back to the wooden house to solve it yourself, and don’t come out no matter what you hear or see.
I think I have a fate with you and save your life. "
After saying that, he said to the dazed two people, "Go back."
Saul and Heiyang involuntarily obeyed the instructions and walked back to the wooden house. As soon as the door was closed, they immediately returned to their senses. They remembered events such as the music festival, the Knights of the Apocalypse, and the trial under severe brain pain.
Huang Mao didn't care about how they were doing on the other side. He stepped out of the 'Sirandah's Doll's House' without looking back, and the destination was the 'Slanders' Doll's House'.
As soon as his front foot stepped over the threshold, a large amount of dense fog quickly gathered in the black iron forest behind him, forming a giant human-shaped shadow.
Juying walked out nearly 100 meters in two steps, and stretched out her long arms to try to pick up Cen Jin, who violated the doll house's precautions.
Huang Mao's movements didn't stop at all, and he knocked on the wooden door in a fluent manner. After knocking twice, an iron-blue skinny hand suddenly pierced the ashes floating in the air and grabbed the giant shadow's long arm.
Huang Mao went out with two feet, raised his head, and looked at the big trumpet head of the siren head who was blocking the door tightly behind him, his index and middle fingers were put together on his forehead and compared: "Revisit the old place, I wish you a good time."
