Ruyizhai

Wu Xingchen tentatively called out: "Chiying?"

Only after this sound came out, the chill on his neck intensified, but it was overwhelmed by a burst of warmth in an instant. Wu Xingchen speculated that his throat was probably cut open by a cold weapon like the dagger held by Chiying , should be for deterrence.Sure enough, Chiying lowered her voice and warned him: "Are you deaf? Tell you to keep your mouth shut! Say one more word, and there will be more than this blood!"

Wu Xingchen couldn't figure out his intentions, let alone his character, so he obediently kept his mouth shut, and followed Chiying out of the room cooperatively.The room was very dark. When walking out, Wu Xingchen noticed that there were only two people sleeping in the room. The woman in the white gauze skirt was not there, and she went somewhere.Chiying walked very fast, with hurried steps, and didn't seem to mind waking up the people in the room. When he got outside, his boots made a rattling sound on the floor, and everything was quiet. The sound is particularly harsh.

Wu Xingchen suddenly wanted to ask Chiying, could he be the ghost that those children talked about?Glancing back, Chiying's gleaming dagger was poking at his waist.

There was no one in Tongtian Pagoda. Looking out from the round hole on the top of the tower, you could only see a piece of darkness. The night seemed very deep.

Chiying warned him again: "Don't look around, be honest, go!"

He dragged Wu Xingchen into the bathroom on the seventh floor.The washroom has an array of shower stalls with shower curtains and is brightly lit.At this time, the shower curtain was fully drawn, and there was no one in the bathroom.But Chiying was still very cautious. After checking all the shower rooms, she dragged Wu Xingchen into one, closed the shower curtain, and turned on the old-fashioned shower faucet.He also dragged Wu Xingchen, and stood with his arms close to his arms, with his back close to the base of the wall.A few jets of water poured down, and the sound of water splashed.Chiying whispered: "Send a message to this number."

He wrote down a string of numbers in Wu Xingchen's palm, and said, "Fa, see you at the old place in an hour."

Wu Xingchen opened the terminal and sent a message to 8772862 under Chiying's gaze.See you at the old place in an hour.

As soon as the message was sent, Chiying asked, "Have you received a reply?"

Wu Xingchen put the terminal directly in front of him, Chiying pushed his hand away, swiped the dagger, and said angrily, "Damn it, you will die if you say a word?"

Wu Xingchen wiped the blood on his neck, washed his hands under hot water, and asked Chi Ying: "I remember, do you have an elder brother who died in the war camp, called Chi Xiong? You also went to the war camp ?"

"Why do you ask that?" Chi Ying raised her eyebrows.

"You speak foul language."

Chiying cursed again, but laughed, and pushed Wu Xingchen's head hard. Wu Xingchen was afraid that the force on his head would cause bigger problems, so he quickly hugged his head and backed away, but he could Where are you going?I could only shrink at the foot of the wall, muttering pitifully: "I just had a brain transplant surgery at Dr. Black Heart..."

Chiying pulled Wu Xingchen past him, and she insisted on talking to him only after being under the cover of the water column. Chiying said: "You are a stereotype, do you know? You have also been to a war camp, so you don't want to speak foul language ?"

Wu Xingchen muttered: "I've only been here for a few days..." He asked Chiying: "How do you know that the Social Services Department is looking for me? You have no terminal... The arrest warrant should have been issued only these few days, you When did you join the Nether psychic?"

Chiying said: "I joined the branch in Tokyo half a year ago, and it took several months to get into the top ranks. I finally got such an opportunity to visit the headquarters. This morning, I finally came to the headquarters of the psychic from the lower world."

He looked at Wu Xingchen: "He told me."

Chiying compared the movement of a bird flying with her hand.

Wu Xingchen was dumbfounded, he was implying the eagle?Does Chi Ying know Eagle?How did the eagle tell him?It was only two days ago that he met the eagle!Is the eagle a member of the Netherworld psychic Tokyo branch?Wu Xingchen was about to shake his head full of doubts when someone entered the bathroom. He and Chiying were relatively silent. Come in, look Wu Xingchen up and down: "You can ask for help just now, you know that?"

Wu Xingchen rubbed his neck: "This injury is only superficial, I don't think I'm in any danger that needs help, and I'm also curious about you and the eagle." When mentioning the eagle, Chi Ying covered it His mouth: "Hush!"

Could it be that he is also a member of the Pampas Eagle?What kind of organization is this?

Chiying took out a pill from her trouser pocket and asked, "Have you seen this pill here?"

Wu Xingchen recognized the pill at a glance: "This is the pill made by Master Fengwei, right? I'm..." He gestured like a bird, "He showed it to me and asked me the same question .I haven't seen it here."

Chiying asked again: "Have you eaten or drank the food here since you came here?"

Wu Xingchen looked at the pills, then at Chiying, the hot water from the shower was too hot, and the steam was steaming in the shower room, Wu Xingchen was sweating all over his face, he wiped his sweat, and said: "You Do you suspect that there is phoenix tail in their food? But phoenix is ​​a forbidden drug here."

"You just believe what they say? You're not so easy to fool, are you? The extract of Pteris vulgaris is colorless and tasteless, and it can't be eaten when mixed with food or water."

Wu Xingchen murmured: "The human body will have hallucinations after ingesting the extract of the phoenix tail. Last night...it is indeed very similar to the hallucinations encountered in the war camp. The glass of water last night..." He rubbed it again. Wiping off his sweat, "I didn't eat anything or drink water today, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Chiying glanced at him: "Seeing that you are still standing upright and can speak a complete sentence, it should be no problem." He urged again: "Have you got a reply?"

Before 8772862 replied, Wu Xingchen asked, "Why did the eagle tell you about me? He is also in the Tokyo branch?"

Chiying was very frank: "It's inconvenient to disclose the details. Anyway, I heard your name from the eagle before I came here, but I didn't expect to meet you here. You still have a terminal, which is a big help. Here My phone has been tapped, and people here seem to be free and easy, but in fact, every move is being monitored, and I still worry that I can’t find a way to contact the outside world.”

"The phone was tapped? Who tapped it?" Wu Xingchen asked in surprise.

"Of course it's Teng Rong and his subordinates. You don't really think that this is an organization for purifying the soul, do you?" Chiying squeezed the pill and said, "This is the most popular placebo on the black market. Call it Phoenix, and it is especially popular among new humans. It is said that as long as you eat it, you can find the meaning of life, and you can also dream about your past life and ancestors. Of course, this is fucking nonsense, this is a poison bottle, the league has always turned a blind eye to the placebo business, this is a big business, do you know? Why do you think they have suddenly increased in recent years? So many believers? Do you think this place can last so long just by selling a few pieces of broken floor? They are the largest manufacturer of Phoenix! Those new humans were controlled by Phoenix before they came here! Teng Rong relies on Phoenix to earn money A lot of Netherworld psychic advertisements have been placed on the terminal for the profit. They advocate calling for past lives, soul reunification, and the pursuit of people who take Phoenix. These people will naturally be attracted by the advertisements and come to the Netherworld. , and continued intake of ancholine through food and water, forming a strong drug dependence, immersed in the feeling of ecstasy all day long, and can't escape here for a lifetime! Young people do coolies, old people Kill it and make it into a feast of human flesh!"

Wu Xingchen said embarrassingly, "It's not like a feast of human flesh..."

"Look at the grand occasion in the cafeteria on the sixth floor, and then look at the chickens, ducks and fish they raise. Is it enough for the sixth floor to consume that much every day?"

Wu Xingchen felt disgusted when he heard this, and changed the subject: "You mean they deliberately expanded the sect's size through this pill? Then what is their purpose?"

Chiying said: "Religious forces expand the sect either for the sake of political decentralization, or to make money, or to satisfy the selfish desires of the sect's top leaders."

Wu Xingchen thought for a while and said, "There is another possibility, to spread teachings."

He whispered: "The black dog is the ancestor of all new humans... Dreaming of a black dog is equivalent to approaching the truth of the new humans..."

Chiying approached, with a puzzled expression on her face: "What are you talking about?"

Wu Xingchen shook his head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something that the guide said to me in the afternoon."

After saying this, his bracelet vibrated, and he received a reply, only two words: Received.He showed this reply letter to Chiying, and Chiying finally put away the dagger, but his eyes were still full of vigilance when he looked at Wu Xingchen, and his voice was lowered, and he said: "According to my information, the pharmaceutical factory It's just under the room where they breed big dogs, and I'm going there now. How are you?"

"I?"

"I've told you the purpose of my coming here. If you plan to be with me, then be together. If you don't plan to be with me, even if you swear that you won't tell the truth, I won't believe it. I know You may have killed many people in the war camp, but don't underestimate the close combat and pressure resistance of the former police team members."

Wu Xingchen said: "I have nothing to do with psychics in the lower world, I just came to find people."

"Stop talking that shit."

Wu Xingchen asked, "How long has the pharmaceutical factory you mentioned existed?"

"At least ten years ago, it started to operate here."

Ten years ago, Ruyizhai once went to the place where the phoenix tail was planted in the forest. If there was an underground pharmaceutical factory there, and the pharmaceutical factory had existed for ten years, had he discovered its existence at that time?Has he been to this underground factory?Will there be clues that reveal his whereabouts?

Is this the "good show" he said?

Wu Xingchen made a decision: "I'll go with you."

Chiying nodded and said, "You have to listen to me along the way."

He reached out to turn off the shower, but Wu Xingchen stopped him, and the hot water washed the tiled floor. Wu Xingchen asked, "Why do you tell me so much? If it's just to use the terminal to contact the outside world, there is no need to reveal the details of the pill." things, your purpose, even your identity."

Chiying still turned off the shower, he said: "I don't like stories about lonely heroes, I like to find helpers for myself."

Wu Xingchen was helpless: "I didn't say I wanted to be your helper..."

Chi Ying patted him on the back: "The two of you have someone to take care of!"

The two left the bathroom one after the other.They go to the sixth floor.

Walking in the empty Tongtian Pagoda, Wu Xingchen stooped and crept down to the sixth floor. He saw Chi Ying, who was walking unscrupulously in the middle of the corridor, and couldn't help asking: "Everyone go?" where?"

"I'm all asleep. Do you still remember the glass of water next to each person's bed in the room? There is a small amount of anchovies in the water, which can make people sleep deeply."

"How do you know?" Wu Xingchen felt strange from just now, "There is also the matter of the pharmaceutical factory. You said that according to your information... Is this also the case in the branch? The branch also has an underground pharmaceutical factory?"

"It's hard to say whether there are pharmaceutical factories in other branches, but the Tokyo branch doesn't have one yet."

"What about the drug in the food and water?"

Chiying was silent for a moment before speaking again: "A friend of mine died of an overdose of phoenix. On the day of the funeral, I received an anonymous letter with a phoenix wrapped in it, and the wrapping paper was a hand-painted The advertisement for the psychic in the lower world also said, don’t drink water, don’t eat.” He paused, and then said, “About two weeks ago, Eagle received another anonymous letter, this time it was written that Paris When we got there, we found an existing laboratory, in which we found some remnants of the phoenix tail and some uniforms from the war camp, and also found a remodeled car nearby. Originally, the eagle wanted to Waiting nearby to see who will go to that laboratory, drive that car away, and the result..."

Chiying didn't continue, and Wu Xingchen didn't have the nerve to answer. It turned out that the place where his aircraft had damaged the optical protective cover was a mysterious laboratory.While talking, the two had reached the fifth floor. Chiying complained that there were no direct stairs between the floors, and the floor was rattling. If he hadn't arrived at the headquarters this morning, Wu Xingchen would be sure that those children He is the ghost who wandered in Tongtian Tower in the middle of the night.Just thinking about the ghost, Chiying dragged Wu Xingchen past him, hid with him in a room hung with dried daisies, and made a silent gesture towards him.He and Wu Xingchen hid behind the door and leaned against the door frame. In the darkness, the children were sleeping soundly on the bed on the ground.Wu Xingchen looked out through the crack of the door, and saw a ghostly black shadow flashing into a room diagonally opposite with lilies hanging.After a while, this dark figure came out with something on its shoulders, it was too dark for Wu Xingchen to see clearly.The shadow came towards them.Chiying and Wu Xingchen quickly retracted their heads.Chiying even hid in the corner behind the door.footsteps.step, step.very light.Sombra may not be wearing shoes.

Step, step, step.very close.Step, stop at the door!

click...

The door was pushed open.

A pale hand gripped the doorknob.From where Wu Xingchen was standing, when he lowered his head, he could even see the black shadow's feet!Judging from the outline and size of the feet, this shadow was a man.He did not wear shoes, bare feet.This foot lifted up, as if it was about to step forward!Wu Xingchen didn't dare to vent his breath. Although he couldn't see Chiying's expression, he could feel that he was also holding his breath.

A child sat up, rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze, "Who is it?"

Sombra walked away and closed the door.The child yawned, fell on the bed, and continued to sleep soundly.

Chiying and Wu Xingchen waited in the room for a while, and they didn't go out until the sound of footsteps outside disappeared.Wu Xingchen was puzzled: "Didn't it mean that there were sleeping pills in the water? Then that child just now..."

Chi Ying said: "They should adjust the dosage for children!"

Wu Xingchen asked again: "Who was that person just now?"

Chiying said: "I didn't come here to catch ghosts!"

He dragged Wu Xingchen to the ground floor and ran out of Tongtian Tower.Wu Xingchen was still worried, and looked back several times: "Where did they go?"

Chiying said: "Anyway, I didn't come here!"

There was no one on the lawn, in the cornfield, on the fruit trees, or in front of the greenhouse.

Chiying and Wu Xingchen ran into the forest in one breath.It was a moonless night, and the road in the forest was not easy to walk. They couldn't run anymore, they groped all the way, stumbling and walking cautiously.

Chiying and Wu Xingchen were talking: "What did that monocle tell you today? I see you chatted for a long time, did he brainwash you?"

Wu Xingchen said, "Brainwashing?"

"It's about instilling some ideas and making you agree with them."

Wu Xingchen said, "No, I just told some stories."

"Ha! Using stories to convey ideas is brainwashing!"

"His words have a calming power."

"That's even more brainwashing. If you calm down and stop thinking wildly, it means that your subconscious mind is agreeing with and silently accepting his ideas. What is this called? It's called subtle influence." Chiying clapped her hands, "This monocle, awesome."

Wu Xingchen asked: "Have you ever thought about who sent you the anonymous letter?"

"Not only did I think about it, but I also checked it!" Chiying turned her head to look at Wu Xingchen, "The first time, the anonymous letter was stuffed in my pocket, and the second time, it was stuffed in the crack of the door of the meeting place. All the surveillance equipment I could find, nothing."

Wu Xingchen wanted to introduce Clara to them, so he asked again: "What about the letter itself? You said the leaflet was hand-painted, what kind of paint did you use? Watercolor, gouache? Colored pencil? Ink? And handwriting... What kind of paper is used? Synthetic paper is another matter, if it is parchment paper, rice paper, it is not easy to buy these now."

Chiying suddenly stopped, Wu Xingchen bumped into him, looked at him, Chiying grabbed his shoulders: "Wu Xingchen, do you want to consider joining..."

He gestured to the flying bird again.Wu Xingchen smiled, noncommittal, and pointed forward: "Here we are."

At this time, the long black building looks more like a gap growing in the night, and also like a rectangular black hole.

Chiying and Wu Xingchen walked in, each of them took a firefly lamp, Chiying knelt on the ground to shine on the ground, and muttered: "It must be underground, the agency..."

As he expected, it didn't take long for him to find a sliding door on the ground, Wu Xingchen passed by, the two moved the door panel, Chiying grabbed the firefly lamp and looked down, a step appeared in front of him and Wu Xingchen .

The two looked at each other, Chiying went down first, Wu Xingchen followed closely behind, leaving the sliding door open, leaving a way out.After walking up twenty or so steps, they were greeted by three tunnels extending in different directions.

Chi Yingsai gave Wu Xingchen a time bomb the size of a palm, and said, "Let's look for it separately, the pharmaceutical factory must be here." He taught Wu Xingchen how to use this time bomb, "If you find it, press the red one. Press the button, put it down, and leave quickly.”

Wu Xingchen said, "Is this timed? How long?"

"Detonation in half an hour."

"What if I can't find my way back here in half an hour?"

Chiying laughed: "Wu Xingchen, are you a new human? Have some confidence in your memory and sense of space!"

Wu Xingchen scratched the back of his head, and couldn't help cursing Clara again: "It's really hard to say..."

Chi Ying thought for a while, and said: "That's fine, let's act together and listen to the range of the sound transmission. The underground here should not be very big, let's start with this one."

Ever since, the two carried two lamps and walked into the tunnel on their left.After walking about ten steps, a room with a bouquet of dried roses in front of the door appeared on their left, followed by a room with dried lavender flowers, followed by a room with lilies of the valley, lilies, and rose flowers.Wu Xingchen's eyelids twitched several times. He had already passed the room where the rose flowers were hung, but he could faintly hear some soft voices coming from behind the door where the lilies were hung.It's not a person talking to himself, whispering, like many people talking, mixed with the sound of electric bells, the sound of playing the piano, laughter, and even gunshots...

Much like at war camp, 677 had four movies running at the same time.

Wu Xingchen looked back at the lily room again, the pure white flower drooped its head lifelessly, the light was dim, and it was about to disappear in the darkness.

The boy who is passionate about photography lives in the room hung with lilies... Do these flowers have any special meaning?What exactly was that black shadow on his shoulders just now?Is a man?

Wu Xingchen couldn't help but turn around and go back, and pushed open the door of the room where the lilies were hung.Chiying came to pull him, but the door was already open, Chiying immediately hid aside, and Wu Xingchen kept winking, asking him to dodge too, but Wu Xingchen had no intention of dodging, he walked in, the door There are indeed many movies being played in the back room, and the scene is exactly the same as when 677 played the same director's collection of works in the pit.

It's just that here, it's not a wristband that plays the movie, but a circular projector suspended from the ceiling.There are black-and-white films and color films on the four walls, a train is in progress, a beautiful woman is watching something from the window with a panicked face, a man in a suit is chasing a shadow on the roof, a woman is taking a shower under the shower, a The dagger was raised high.

There was a boy lying in the middle of the room, Wu Xingchen picked up the boy, it was the camera boy!His eyeballs rolled quickly under his lids.

Wu Xingchen said: "This boy told me that he dreamed that he was a director in his previous life."

Chiying's voice sounded behind him: "This is the trick they advertised to see past lives, using drugs to make people drowsy...and then showing them these..."

He also came in.But soon he ran out again.Wu Xingchen got up and went out, only to see Chiying push open the room of Lily of the Valley, and when the door opened, the sound of poetry chanting sounded in the room.

Chaoci Baidi Among the Colorful Clouds...

Chiying closed the door and went to open the lavender room.

The violin music came out.It's Paganini!

Embroidery tutorials are playing in the rose room.The room of rose flowers is filled with the scenery of Monet's back garden.

Panting, Chiying closed all the doors, stood with her hands on her hips in the aisle, and was speechless for a while.

"what!"

A shrill woman's scream came from the tunnel next door.

Wu Xingchen followed the voice and walked to the rose room, Chiying came to pull him, and said, "The most urgent thing is to find the pharmaceutical factory!"

"what!!"

There was another scream, more shrill and more painful.A face of a panicked woman appeared in Wu Wu Xingchen's mind. He seemed to see the woman holding a child in a room full of video tapes. She was not only panicked, but also desperate. When their eyes met, she Asking him for help.She and the baby—presumably her child—were taken away by a group of mysterious men in white.He has never seen them in the Tongtian Tower, nor on the lawn, in the farmland, in the stables, in the greenhouse, or in the forest.

They are missing.Does anyone care about their whereabouts?Will anyone look for them like he looked for Ruyizhai?

Wu Xingchen couldn't bear it anymore, he patted the time bomb in his trouser pocket, and said, "Let's split up!"

He followed the scream.
