ID number 019

On March 3, it was a cloudy day, with black clouds clamoring silently in the sky.The storm is coming.

After Chen Yang was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Qi, the security guard, took him to the door and gave him his bag and a large bundle of books tied with blue nylon rope.

Zhang Qi pointed: "Go straight along this road, there will be a bus after two intersections, hurry up, it's going to rain."

Chen Yang looked up at the sign on the building.

——Ninth Rehabilitation Hospital.

Speaking of which, Qingcheng is one of the most comprehensive rehabilitation institutions, without the top eight, so I don't know why it is called "Ninth".

From the corner of Zhang Qi's eyes, he glanced at the thin young man in front of him. He was wearing a white gray coat and jeans, with short hair, delicate eyebrows, and a clean outline.

Zhang Qi has seen photos of the young man's life, it was taken with the victim of the accident that year, that is, his sister, and there is a very charming smile when he smiles.

Now there is no trace of youthfulness in his brows and eyes, it seems that he has been hollowed out from the inside out and replaced with new things.Now it looks like a glass of boiled water, but at a glance, it is bland and tasteless.

It may take time to restore the previous disposition.

As for his future life, Zhang Qi sighed in his heart.

Both parents died, and the sister who depended on each other died unfortunately. She was seriously injured and hospitalized, and later became a vegetable, derailed from society for three and a half years.

Hey.

When Zhang Qi came back to his senses, the young man had already shifted his gaze to the gloomy sky, his black head was upturned, and there was an old scar behind his left ear, which was scratched by a sharp weapon.

Thin, spreading into the napped collar.

"Brother, live well." Zhang Qi patted him on the shoulder and pressed it solemnly, "You are still young, and the days are long."

Chen Yang rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand, and said "hmm" with a smile.

Zhang Qi looked at the young man's back, and the more he looked, the more he realized that he had nothing to do with his vigor, and he was filled with a sense of depression. His heart tightened, and he shouted roughly: "You must live well!"

Goosebumps formed on Chen Yang's back when he was shouted, he turned his head back and found Zhang Qi was still standing there, looking disappointed to send his child to school.

"..." Chen Yang waved vigorously to the good old man, goodbye.

The northern suburbs of this day are the same as yesterday, full of busy people of all kinds, and the return of a person bearing the name of "medical miracle" has no effect on them.

Chen Yang found the key on the door, and was greeted by a cold old house. He put down his bag and walked around the house.

The passage of time has its traces, musty smell, dust, cobwebs, all of them.

Chen Yang stood there for a long time with empty eyes, and was brought back to reality by the rumbling sound of his stomach. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to relieve his hunger, finished cleaning in silence, and tidied up the books he brought back.

They were all sent by patients who were recovering.

If it weren't for these books to fill his spiritual world, he would have been unable to persist.Living without thoughts is no less than walking dead.

Chen Yang pulled out the nylon rope that was scattered on the table, and accidentally touched a few books that were pressed on it, and one of them fell with a "slap" and landed at his feet.

—— "Quantum Theory of Consciousness and the World".

This book was given to him by the attending doctor Li Yue before he was discharged from the hospital, and he hasn't had time to read it yet.

When Chen Yang bent down to pick up the book, something fell out of the book, suspected to be a bookmark, about four centimeters wide and five or six centimeters long.

Pinch it in your hand and take a closer look, it seems that it is not a bookmark, but a card.

There's a faint, light mark on the back, and it's not clear if it's just there, or if it's been too long and the pattern has faded.

There is a string of numbers in the upper left corner of the front of the card, but it is very clear. There are only three digits in total, 019, and there is no reason for it.

Chen Yang didn't pay attention to this white card, he decided to contact Zhang Qi and ask him to ask Li Yue.

Throwing the white card back into the book casually, Chen Yang collected the book and went out.

The waterline in the northern suburbs is full of sky.

Chen Yang walked along the street with an umbrella, without any sense of familiarity in his memory, the unfamiliarity made him bored, he gave up the idea of ​​shopping, and went to buy a mobile phone after eating a bowl of ramen at a noodle shop.

After shopping, the rain stopped, and everything went smoothly. There was a small episode in the middle of the road. A clerk at the corner of the road sold bread to him, saying it was a new taste.

There were some small bread cubes on the plate, only the one facing Chen Yang had a small toothpick on it.

With Chen Yang's temperament, he wouldn't try it, but he didn't know what happened, he picked up the toothpick inexplicably, and ate that piece of bread.

I regret it after eating it.

I can't tell what it tastes like, it's too unpalatable, it seems to be stuck in my throat, when Chen Yang was lying on the bed at night, he still had that taste faintly in his mouth, hitting Tianling Gai directly.

That's how it should be when you eat shit.

At night, Chen Yang was woken up by the pain. There was a burning sensation in his stomach. The more he tried to bear it, the more he couldn't bear it. He got up in a cold sweat, got dressed, grabbed his backpack and went to the hospital.

The alley was wet and dimly lit.The bluestone slab was washed by the rain and was very slippery. Chen Yang touched his belt while walking. He didn't have a mobile phone and forgot to bring it. He didn't want to fall, so he had to slow down, put his hands on his stomach, and walked against the wall with his back hooked.

As soon as he came out of the alley, Chen Yang saw a taxi parked by the side of the road, and a young man got out of the car. He was very tall, leaning on crutches, with a slender right leg and a bent left leg.

As they got closer, Chen Yang smelled the smell of medicine on the boy's black sportswear.Looks like he just came back from the hospital.

Chen Yang had a severe stomachache, and wanted to get into that taxi, so he hurriedly quickened his pace, beckoning the driver as he walked, asking the driver to wait.

When passing by the young man, Chen Yang didn't pay attention, and his shoulder bumped into him.

The vigorous sense of power came through the clothes, half of Chen Yang's body went numb, his footsteps paused, and then he suddenly felt dizzy. streets and alleys.

He saw the endless deep sea.

Is this the pier? !

Chen Yang closed his eyes mechanically, and then opened them again. The sea was still floating in his field of vision. He opened his eyes wide in a daze, and the cold sweat was blown by the sea breeze, making him feel cold from head to toe.

"Why is there a bad leg?"

A surprised voice suddenly came from behind, Chen Yang's mind went blank, and his body reflexively turned his head.

In the setting sun, there was a strange man in his 30s, wearing a black jacket, zipped up to the top, with his hands in his pockets, and carrying a bag of the same color, with a capable demeanor.

There were four other people beside the man, all of whom were also looking at him.

These five people were three men and two women. Besides the man in the jacket, there was also a tall woman who was as calm as him.

The faces of the other three were covered with signs of a collapsed psychological defense, as if they had experienced an indescribable collapse.

What's happening here?

Chen Yang couldn't calm down to observe the expressions of those strangers, his ears were buzzing, many questions were flying in his mind, and suddenly an explosion point popped up.

The man in the jacket just now said that it's not him, his legs are fine.

Chen Yang suddenly looked to the side and was stunned.

The boy rested his arms on the crutches, his eyes lowered expressionlessly, unable to see his expression clearly.

The pores on the bumped shoulder opened, Chen Yang clenched his stiff fingers, his throat was dry: "You...it's you...how can you...we are together..."

What came out of the depths of his throat was full of panic, and he didn't organize his words well for a long time. He spoke intermittently and incoherently.

The young man didn't seem to care what Chen Yang said, he glanced around the pier without saying a word, his chestnut forehead brushed his browbones, his facial contours were exposed, traced by the afterglow, the lines were clear and distinct, comparable to a medieval scroll.

The surroundings were silent.

It was very inappropriate, Lin Yue, a tall and slender woman who had read countless men, rolled her eyes, and the little princess Zhou Xiaoxiao was stared at in a daze, and even the men were slightly bent for a second or two.

But it's also limited to amazing viewing.

It's a very real problem. In such a crisis-ridden situation, everyone is panicking. No one knows what will happen. They cannot protect themselves and may die at any time.

A patient who can't walk normally and can't even run, no matter how handsome he is, will be a burden here, and will kill himself and others.

The setting sun reflected a large area of ​​orange red. In the beautiful natural scenery, the sea breeze was blowing, and fear was fermented in the fishy and humid air.

Chen Yang asked for some information. Apart from him and the boy on crutches, the other five people also came from various places, just as suddenly.Led by Zhang Yan, the man in the jacket, they are Lin Yue, Zhou Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yuan, and Huang Qing.

Both Zhang Yan and Lin Yue came in for the second time. They are so-called old people, but they don’t know if this is the past, present, future, or some other unknown world in the real world. They need to complete the task before they can go back. This time is a new task, like a curse, it is not clear whether it can be completely shaken off.

I can only do my best and obey the destiny.

Zhang Yan was the oldest in the group, mature and reliable, and an old man, so he became the backbone without accident.

"Since we showed up at the pier, we must board the boat." Zhang Yan motioned them to look at the boat docked not far away, "We'll talk about the rest on the boat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a short, thin, middle-aged man came out of the boat, roaring impatiently: "What the hell are you dawdling about, come on! Come on up quickly! The boat is about to leave, hurry up! Hurry up! point!"

This scene shocked everyone. In their eyes, the middle-aged man was nothing more than a murderer from the underworld.

Zhang Yan breathed out: "Go ahead." He swept across the hesitant newcomers, "If you don't go up, the mission will fail directly."

Lin Yue, who was already walking towards the docking direction of the ship, turned her head, and laughed twice at Zhou Xiaoxiao who was about to cry again: "I will die."

There was a thunder on the ground, and everyone boarded the boat in panic!

Chen Yang walked at the end, watching the young man walking slowly on crutches, probably came in together, shoulders were still touching at the last second in the real world, psychologically unconsciously and automatically classified him as a companion, compared to other people To get a little closer.

Seeing the boy stopped in front of the rope ladder, Chen Yang passed him a few steps, stepped up first, turned around and reached out to him: "You grab me."

The young man didn't answer, didn't move, and stared at Chen Yang with dark eyes.

Several people on the boat looked over together, they didn't evaluate Chen Yang's kind behavior, but invariably focused on the unknown boy, always feeling that he was very disobedient.

So peaceful.

Everyone agreed in their hearts that this boy is not a newcomer, he should have been in more than two times.

Maybe the leg was fine before, and it was only injured this time, but after all, it is no different from being disabled now, and experience is useless, and they don't want to be dragged down.

However, Chen Yang felt that it was the first time for the young man to come in, because when he found him, his body under the sportswear was obviously tense.

Other than that, there is no other performance, the psychological quality is really strong, not so strong as a... normal person.

When Chen Yang was thinking wildly, his arm sank, and just when he was being led and almost fell, he panicked and grabbed the rope with his other hand.

The boy had already put away his crutches, stepped on the rope ladder with his healthy leg, and grabbed Chen Yang with one hand.

Zhang Yan asked if he wanted to help.

Just as Chen Yang was about to say yes, there was a sudden pain in the place where his arm was caught, and he clasped his five fingers more tightly, tightening like pliers. His scalp was numb from the pain, and he subconsciously refused: "No need."

After he finished speaking, Chen Yang glanced at the innocent young man, twitched the corner of his mouth, and managed to get him onto the boat.

The middle-aged man brought the seven of Chen Yang into the cabin, and left the door behind saying "Stay honestly", followed by noisy chatter and laughter.

There are quite a few crew members, all with the same accent in Mandarin, all from the same place.

"You all watch movies, right?" The big boy Zhao Yuan hugged himself tremblingly, "According to the current situation, if a group of people go out to play in the sea, there will soon be underwater monsters."

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Yuan said more and more vigorously: "Or the monster appeared a long time ago, it bit a certain crew member, the other party has mutated, and may be eating the raw meat on the ship, and will eat us after eating."

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Yuan shivered: "If it's safe on the boat, then there will either be a kind of bug on the island, and if you get stung, your whole body will fall off, and a large piece will be torn off, or..."

Washing, cutting and blowing Huang Qing interrupted unbearably: "It's either your mother or, can you shut up, fuck me?!"

Zhao Yuan trembled from the yelling and stopped talking.

The cabin suddenly fell silent, and the sound of sea water beating the hull caused bumps and swaying, eroding everyone's nerve endings.

Chen Yang was still in a daze. This happened to him only about ten hours after he was discharged from the hospital.

"I want to ask," at this moment, a soft voice sounded in the cabin, it was Zhou Xiaoxiao, she let go of the hand that had been clenched in her sleeve, "does this have something to do with my coming here?"

Everyone's eyes moved away.

Zhou Xiaoxiao had a white card in his hand, both Zhao Yuan and Huang Qing changed their expressions, silently reached into their pockets and took out the same thing.

Three white cards, the front and back are smooth.

After two or three seconds, they watched helplessly as a number appeared out of thin air on the three cards, and then another... until the seventh one.

Three strings of seven-digit numbers, all of which start with 0 and are all different at the end, and the mantissa is not a hyphen.

Chen Yang stared at the three cards, thinking of the things that fell out of the book that Li Yue gave him, except for the different numbers, there was no difference.

"Ah—" Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed and threw away the white card.

The white card that was thrown to the ground was lying quietly. The face facing up was Zhou Xiaoxiao's face, with clear facial features, smiling eyes, white and smooth skin, and small fluff around the lips.

Like a living person, it seems that he is about to speak in the next moment.

There was a gasp, Zhao Yuan and Huang Qing turned their cards around one after another, and saw their faces.

The atmosphere became terrifying in an instant, and the three of Zhou Xiaoxiao panicked.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was in a trance with tears streaming down her face: "There was nothing on that thing before, no numbers, no faces, no faces, I clearly remember that there was nothing..."

Zhao Yuan didn't dare to look at it any more and hurriedly put the card away: "So it's really, really related to us entering this ghost place? It's too scary, and it's not played like this in heavy-tasting movies."

"Fuck, I don't know how this thing got on me, I just can't fucking remember it!" Huang Qing yelled, he wanted to break the card, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

"..."

Zhang Yan glanced at the pale and desperate faces, which were exactly the same as himself when he saw this thing for the first time. He gave an official explanation: "This is the ID number."

"Everyone has one. Come in with your talent. If you lose it, you can't get in. If you can't get in..." He paused, but didn't continue.

No one asked, they didn't dare, and they didn't want to.

The name of the identity number sounds creepy, as if they have become people in this strange world.

Except for the two old people present, among the newcomers, Chen Yang and the young man did not reveal their ID numbers.Everyone didn't care, because you can't get in without your ID number, this is the rule.

No one knew that Chen Yang's heart was like a pot of boiling water, and he didn't have an ID number at all, nor did he.

The one in the book belongs to Li Yue, not her own.

And...it turns out that the shallow mark is not a faded pattern, but Li Yue's face.

Chen Yang's hands trembled a little. He was afraid that people would see something strange, so he quickly stuffed his hands into his pockets, turned his head and asked Zhang Yan calmly: "Can the ID number be transferred to someone else?"

Zhang Yan shook his head: "No."

"What will happen if you switch?" Chen Yang asked again.

Zhang Yan glanced at him: "The person who is going to be transferred will only know who is being taken over, why?"

"Just ask." Chen Yang's hands in his pockets stopped shaking and were cold, "Then how many digits is your ID number?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuan and Huang Qing also looked at Zhang Yan curiously.

"Same as you, seven, Lin Yue too." Zhang Yandao, "I'm still groping for other things, I only know one thing, the sooner the person who comes in, the higher the number on the ID number."

Chen Yang took a deep breath, Zhang Yan and Lin Yue had come in for the second time, and they were still in seven figures just like the newcomers.

When did Li Yue, whose ID number was three digits, come in?

Looking back now, when Li Yue gave him the book, although he smiled gently, his facial muscles were a little stiff and his expression was unnatural.

Li Yue didn't accidentally put this thing called the ID number in the book for him, it was intentional.

He was cheated by Li Yue.

A chill came up from the soles of Chen Yang's feet. He must have touched that thing before he could come in. Li Yue gave it to him. Could it be his?

It's useless to think about it now, let's talk about it when he sees Li Yue.

And that book, I have to look through it when I go back.

Chen Yang leaned against the wall of the ship with his back soaked in sweat, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the young man imperceptibly from the corner of his eyes. From appearing at the pier to boarding the boat, to pulling out his ID number, he never talked about it. Excessive.

However, when Zhou Xiaoxiao took out the white card, the boy's breath was tight. Although it was fleeting, he was caught by Chen Yang, who was used to observing words and expressions.

Apparently he doesn't have that and doesn't know anything about it.I don’t have it on me, I don’t have it at home, I haven’t heard of it, I haven’t seen it, and I don’t know anything.

Chen Yang suspects that the young man was implicated by himself, and needs to be confirmed.

If that's the case, isn't he... a black household?

Gulu felt guilty deep in Chen Yang's heart, and he sighed the next moment, and he was not much better.

Strictly speaking, he is also a black household.

Thinking of this, something was caught between the fingers in his pocket. Chen Yang realized what it was, and the blood in his body suddenly froze, and he took it out after a while.

ID number 019.

The other side is no longer Li Yue's blurry face, but himself.
