abnormal sea area

After arranging everyone's tasks, Lei Chi returned to the clock tower.

Bai Xiaoyuan had already drank most of the barrel of wine. Along the way, he saw countless energetic sand cats, walking or standing quietly in the streets and alleys, looking up at people who could see it or couldn't see it.

Lei Chi touched the big ears of the two sand cats, they were obviously no longer afraid of him, their tails curled up neatly, and they scratched the back of his hand.

Xia Chun was always by Bai Xiaoyuan's side.Bai Xiaoyuan was full of drunkenness, leaning on the big wine barrel and giggling, watching Qingmeizi's live broadcast with his mobile phone.

"I have been stopping her from buying gifts." Xia Chun said, "but she has already paid more than 1000 yuan."

"I'll give it back to her." Lei Chi said to Xia Chun, "Why didn't you tell me about Zhou You just now. How much do you know?"

Knowing that Lei Chi had found the real Zhou You's body, Xia Chun didn't say a word for a long time.

"...When I was a child, the Wangdu District was a place full of horrors and traps for me. There were few werewolves, so other ethnic groups often teased and bullied werewolves. I was a girl, young, and I was young at that time Just ten years old, I have no way to resist and resist." Xia Chun looked at the frozen big clock, "On my tenth birthday, someone tricked me into Zhou You's house."

Zhou You's house is extremely dilapidated and old even in Wangdu District.Coupled with a child who rarely goes out at home, this rough two-story building has become a place where weird legends are brewing.

Although he was a werewolf, Xia Chun was too young at that time, and because he was often frightened by others, he would cry constantly.They tricked Xia Chun to Zhou You's house and told her that there was a gift for her inside.

Xiao Xiachun knocked on the door.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the narrow and dark living room. Xia Chun didn't notice him at first because he was silent and stared blankly at the small TV with a black screen in front of him.

Xia Chun yelled in fright, at this moment a head poked out from the stairs: "Who?"

A delicate and beautiful young man was looking down at her from above.Xia Chun was frightened and startled, looked at the boy, then turned to look at the dull middle-aged man.Her sensitive nose smelled a strange smell, which was the special stench emitted by rotting flesh.The stench seemed to be blocked by layers, only a little leaked out, but it was still caught by the werewolf's sharp nose.

Xia Chun covered his nose and looked towards the kitchen at the end.A newly built stove sits quietly in a corner of the kitchen, and a strong stench that seems to be absent is wafting out from the stove bit by bit.

What are you looking at?

Xia Chun was so frightened that he didn't dare to answer the boy's question, turned around and ran out of the strange house.She ran and cried until she got home.She dared not tell anyone about it, and it took a long, long time before she slowly realized what she smelled that day.

"We need to find Zhou You's father immediately." Lei Chi said, "We must also find the new Zhou You."

According to his instructions, Xia Chun arranged for the Werewolf Division to assist the people in the Crisis Office to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhou You's father.Lei Chi walked up to Bai Xiaoyuan, knelt down and looked at her at the same level: "Bai Xiaoyuan, let's go down."

"The live broadcast is not over yet." Bai Xiaoyuan said, "Wait a minute! Someone on the local rich list has 500 yuan more than me! I'll..."

Lei Chi turned off her cell phone: "You keep the money, and you can treat Qing Meizi to dinner later."

Bai Xiaoyuan: "Why?"

Lei Chi: "He will come to Beijing to do the routine registration of special human beings. If you like him so much, I can arrange a dinner for you to chat with him face to face."

Bai Xiaoyuan: "Lei Chi, you mean what you say!"

Lei Chi suspected that Bai Xiaoyuan wasn't drunk at all: "Forget it, definitely. If it doesn't count, you can depend on me for the rest of your life."

Bai Xiaoyuan: "Bah, you werewolf villain."

Lei Chi: "..."

She was indeed drunk.Lei Chi thought to himself.

He helped Bai Xiaoyuan up, and immediately found that she was staggering, and it was impossible for her to climb down the stairs by herself.Lei Chi took off his shoes and socks and squatted in front of Bai Xiaoyuan, and carried her on his back.Bai Xiaoyuan was also startled when he was half-drunk and half-awake: "What are you doing? Kidnapping me?"

Lei Chi: "Yes."

Bai Xiaoyuan: "I'll let the kitten scratch you."

Lei Chi: "Okay."

He bent down slightly, and after a while, the skeletal muscles of his legs and hands slowly changed.Bai Xiaoyuan didn't say a word, hugged his shoulders and neck tightly, and looked at Lei Chi's hands and feet.They have completely lost the shape of human hands and feet, and have become large and strange, with long knuckle bones and thick hair covering the skin.

"Hold me tight." Lei Chi's voice did not change.

He jumped from the top of the building towards a lower building with Bai Xiaoyuan on his back, and landed firmly with four claws on the ground, then turned around and jumped to the next lower building.

After several jumps, Lei Chi finally jumped off a balcony on the second floor and landed with a thud.

He was so nervous that he dared to breathe a sigh of relief.Bai Xiaoyuan hugged his neck tightly all the time, Lei Chi boldly patted Bai Xiaoyuan's arm with his recovered hand: "Comrade Bai Xiaoyuan, you are about to strangle me to death."

Bai Xiaoyuan didn't say a word, his head was tilted, and his soft hair brushed against Lei Chi's ears.Lei Chi carried her to Artis Bar, and all the criminal investigation officers he met on the way were taken aback by his barefoot appearance, but they didn't dare to speak, and all lowered their heads.

"You are really a werewolf." Bai Xiaoyuan said.

Lei Chi: "...Don't you know it before?"

Bai Xiaoyuan: "Where are your wolf ears?"

Lei Chi glanced at the people around him, and popped out his ears for Bai Xiaoyuan to touch.Bai Xiaoyuan was both surprised and delighted: "You are so funny."

Lei Chi: "...Okay."

The drunken sentry lay on his back, rubbed his wolf ears with his fingers, and said in a daze after a while, "You are like my father."

Lei Chi: "I'm Lei Chi, not your father."

Bai Xiaoyuan was really drunk.She lay on Lei Chi's back and whimpered softly: "Father."

The morning light illuminates the streets of Wangdu District, and there are small sand cats standing everywhere on the road.The early morning sun shines on their ears, and each of them is a small unshakable hairball.They watched Lei Chi pass by with Bai Xiaoyuan on his back, moved their paws one by one, and followed behind the two of them.After walking half a street, there was already a row of sand cats dotting behind Lei Chi and Bai Xiaoyuan.

They walk in the twilight morning light, unwilling to leave their master for half a step.

Bai Xiaoyuan rubbed Lei Chi's wolf ears: "Father..."

Lei Chi hesitated for a moment.Bai Xiaoyuan's tears wet a little bit of hair on his wolf's ears, not much, just a handful.

"Yeah." He responded, "Good boy, Xiaoyuan is great."

"...I miss you." Bai Xiaoyuan's voice was almost inaudible, mixed with drunkenness and low sobs.

A second before she fell asleep, she heard a gentle answer.

"Me too."

After placing Bai Xiaoyuan in Artis Bar, Lei Chi received a communication from his colleague.

With the help of Meng Yu, the leader of the underground people, they have found Zhou You's father Zhou Yiqing.

Zhou Yiqing appeared in the settlement of underground people two years ago.He inspected the entrances of all the underground settlements in Wangdu District, and kept telling people that his son Zhou You couldn't walk, he must have fallen to the ground and couldn't get out.

Taking advantage of an oversight, Zhou Yiqing entered the settlement of underground people from the entrance.But unfortunately, he was the one who actually fell.

He broke his left leg, so he couldn't go up, so he could only live in the underground settlement.This stay is two years.

There are all kinds of people mixed in the settlements of underground people. In addition to the underground people, there are also members of human rights organizations who are curious about the living conditions of the underground people in Wangdu District of 011. "Preachers, werewolves who don't want to stay on the ground, sentinel guides, some cheeky half-zombies, and many people like Zhou Yiqing who were injured after accidentally breaking in and couldn't leave.

Without exception, all of them are not afraid of the power of the lithification virus.Some are due to taking or injecting immune drugs on a regular basis, and some are self-reliant because they are bold and have good physical fitness.Zhou Yiqing didn't think about anything, he was a wandering lunatic on the ground, and a lunatic who couldn't run around underground, there was not much difference.

He lives next door to a small leader of the "Underground People's National Salvation Fund", who tells him every day that only if everyone donates 6000 yuan to the National Salvation Fund and develops new members of the National Salvation Organization, the underground people can continue to live and share the sunshine with others , rain and air.

During the interval between looking for his son, Zhou Yiqing would also say these things to the underground man who brought him food.The underground people will always answer: Sunshine, rain and air, I will have it when I climb to the ground.

Zhou Yiqing was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that his leg was broken and he couldn't walk and climb up.Then he quickly remembered that the reason for his broken leg was because he went underground to look for Zhou You.

"When he was awake, half of the time he was talking nonsense, and half of the time he was crying." Meng Yu and the criminal investigation staff in protective clothing carried Zhou Yiqing out, and the underground man nearby who had been delivering meals to the homeless man told himself The leader said, "It looks pitiful. He eats too much, so it's not easy to take care of him."

Meng Yu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Yiqing looked at the people around him warily, with a look of fear all over his face.His movements were stiff from two years of inactivity.His head was full of gray and messy hair, but it was neatly trimmed. Although his face was not rosy, it was by no means haggard and emaciated like starving.He's crazy and has a broken leg, but in the world of the Underworld, he's well taken care of by well-meaning people.

"Do you need any communication?" Lei Chi asked.

"No need." Qin Ge replied, "I am now assisting the criminal investigation department as a spiritual adjuster. This is your key witness. Because he is unconscious, as long as I get your consent, I can start working."

To his surprise, it was Xie Zijing who stopped him.

"You want to forcefully enter his 'sea'?" Xie Zijing pressed Qin Ge's shoulder, "You can't forcefully break through the breakwater multiple times in a row within 24 hours and enter other people's 'sea'."

Qin Ge looked at him in surprise: "Have you really read the book?"

Xie Zijing: "No, I'm your diving buddy, I don't allow it. Once you enter the deep sea, it will be difficult to be called back."

Qin Ge: "I'm fine. I just patrolled Bian Han's 'sea area', but I don't have any strong discomfort."

For the first time, Xie Zijing felt that his guide was an extremely stubborn person.

"You only have one hour." Lei Chi said aside, "After one hour, you must leave Zhou Yiqing's 'sea'."

Xie Zijing was depressed for a moment, then turned around and asked, "How do you plan to break through the anti-wave forcibly? There must be loopholes in the breakthrough, and the 'sea area' must be shaken first. He is already crazy, how do you want to shake him?"

Qin Ge patted his palm to signal him to be calm.Lei Chi and the others had already stepped aside, leaving Zhou Yiqing with the dispatcher Qin Ge and his diving partner.Xie Zijing held Qin Ge's hand, and Qin Ge took Zhou Yiqing's wrinkled fingers.Zhou Yiqing shrank subconsciously, Qin Ge looked at him and said in a low voice, "We found Zhou You."

Zhou Yiqing regained consciousness immediately: "Where is Xiaoyou!"

Qin Ge: "At home."

Zhou Yiqing: "... what family?"

Qin Ge: "Your home. At home, in the kitchen."

Zhou Yiqing's expression changed instantly.He shook his neck and face convulsively, tilted his head uncontrollably, his body trembled violently, his eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs almost fell out.

"Xiaoyou is missing!" he hissed, "Xiaoyou is not at home! He is missing! I'm looking for him! I'm going to look for him there and here! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He roared wildly, tears rolling down his bulging eyes.

A soft mist rose from Qin Ge's body and quickly surrounded Zhou Yiqing.Xie Zijing held Qin Ge's hand tightly, and the moment Zhou Yiqing fell on his back on the stretcher, Qin Ge also fell into his arms.

Xie Zijing hugged Qin Ge and couldn't help but kissed his forehead again.He knew that his beloved guide was stepping into Zhou Yiqing's "sea area", diving into extremely deep places.

Qin Ge stood in a constantly shaking space.

It is the house, the home of Zhou Yiqing and Zhou You.The home is very narrow, open the door to the living room, and then look up to the kitchen, and you can have a clear view of any corner.

Zhou Yiqing has been abnormal for too long.Qin Ge couldn't stand at all. He had to hold on to the wall to stabilize himself, but soon found that the wall was melting, and lime, bricks, and cement liquid dripped into his palm.

The immature child's voice came from outside the space again and again, suddenly far away and now near, all shouting with a smile: Dad...Dad...Dad...

Qin Ge stumbled towards the kitchen.The newly built stove in the kitchen is flat and beautiful, but it is not airtight—Zhou Yiqing is curled up in the stove, his posture is exactly the same as that of Zhou You's remains.

Cement covered half of his body, half of his face.Hearing someone approaching, Zhou Yiqing's still moving eye looked at Qin Ge.

He couldn't speak, but just smiled at Qin Ge.

Xiaoyou...Little You...Little You...

The man's deep voice echoed in this cramped space, making Qin Ge very uncomfortable.Xie Zijing was right, invading other people's "sea areas" continuously in a very short period of time, and there were two abnormal "sea areas", it was difficult for him to calm down.But Qin Ge shook his head, reached out and grabbed Zhou Yiqing who was buried in the cement.

"I want to see Zhou You." He said sharply, "I also want to see the child you picked up!"

He plunged into the stove and into Zhou Yiqing's body, like plunged into a puddle of foul-smelling stagnant water.

Most of Zhou Yiqing's memories were in chaos, and Qin Ge's vision kept shaking. "Show me the memories of the past." He murmured, "I'll let you see Zhou You."

It is as if the surface of the water is pushed aside, revealing the shallow mirror surface.

Zhou Yiqing was walking in the snow, and the ground in Wangdu District was extremely dirty. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back a few steps.

A boy who was wearing autumn clothes on his upper body and only a pair of beach shorts on his lower body was curled up in the corner of the wall, and the falling snow had already covered his head with a thin layer.

Zhou Yiqing reached out to touch the child's head, the boy moaned and raised his head, Zhou Yiqing found bruises on his neck.

"You will freeze to death." Qin Ge heard the man's muffled voice, and saw the boy shivering in the snow raise his face.

It's traveling—no, that's not right.It was Zhou Xuefeng's son, that unnamed boy, X.

As the black water swayed, Zhou Yiqing spoke to a boy in a wheelchair.The boy looks ordinary, with a pair of thick eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and very bright eyes.

"...In such a cold day, it is considered as saving him." Zhou Yiqing said, "There is no spare room at home, let him sleep with you, or sleep on the floor on the first floor."

"Come with me." The boy said, "My room is small, there is no air leakage, and it is warmer at night."

The boy who was picked up came out of the bathroom.He was wearing an ill-fitting hoodie and baggy pants, he was steaming all over, his black hair was wet, and he was a handsome boy.

"Hi, my name is Zhou You." The boy in the wheelchair greeted him.

"I... I don't have a name," X whispered.

Qin Ge became more and more dizzy, and he tried his best not to collapse.

The shaking of the scene in front of me became more and more intense.

"Are two quilts enough?" Zhou Yiqing asked standing outside Zhou You's room door, "If not enough, there is another bed in Dad's room."

"Enough." Zhou You moved from the wheelchair to the bed, and said to the boy standing in front of the desk, "You can take whatever book you like to read. Or you can play games!"

His room was small, but it was almost full of books. An old computer was placed in the corner of the desk, and the boy's expressionless face was reflected on the screen.

"I don't know how to use a computer," he said, "and I can't read."

Both Zhou You and Zhou Yiqing were taken aback.But soon, Zhou You laughed: "Then let me teach you."

"Don't chat too late." Zhou Yiqing said, "Good night."

When he closed the door, he saw the boy slowly walking towards Zhou You's bed, with a forced expression on his face.It was a smile mixed with curiosity, shyness and gratitude.

Qin Ge could hardly hold on any longer.He had a splitting headache, and the physical pain directly affected his efficiency in cruising the sea area. Everything around him was shaking crazily. A riot was brewing in Zhou Yiqing's "sea area", trying to expel this uninvited guest.

Just when Qin Ge felt that he was about to fail, Zhou Yiqing's "sea area" suddenly stabilized.

Everything was extremely clear, and all the sounds seemed to vibrate in Qin Ge's ears, even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

He still has a headache, but it has been greatly relieved, his breathing has gradually stabilized, and even his rapid heartbeat has gradually subsided.Qin Ge seemed to be surrounded by the coming spring breeze and the gentle grass, all his discomfort was almost isolated, only the voices of Zhou You and X echoed.

"...This is the magic of white noise." Zhou You sat in the living room with a thick book spread out on his knees, flipping through it while explaining to X beside him, "The reason why white noise can To appease the Sentinel's unstable emotions, because it directly acts on the 'sea'. The sound will have an impact on our 'sea', especially when sleeping. The Sentinel can use white noise to obtain better sleep quality and emotional soothing effect , because the white noise directly smoothes the fluctuations in the 'sea area'..."

Zhou Yiqing was cleaning the table, looked up with a smile, and said, "Xiao You, can you understand what you said so complicatedly?"

"He's very smart!" Zhou You looked at X with some uncertainty after finishing speaking, "Am I... am I very boring?"

X didn't sit next to Zhou You, he sat on the ground with a relaxed posture, his chin resting on Zhou You's knee, and a pair of eyes looked at Zhou You without blinking.

"It's not boring, it's interesting," he said slowly. "I like hearing you say that."

A trace of shyness flashed across Zhou You's face. He lowered his head and continued to explain the connection between white noise and "sea area".

Qin Ge watched all this with Zhou Yiqing's eyes.

X looks at Zhou You with strange eyes.

There was his undisguised—or undisguised—fanaticism and affection in it.The handsome boy opened his mouth slightly, staring intently at his peers.He smiled because of a certain sentence that Zhou You said, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, his eyes were still straight, his head was stubbornly and attached to Zhou You's knee.

Zhou Yiqing watched all this, he let go of his hand, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Before Qin Ge had time to sort out what he saw, the scene in front of him shook again. X squatted on the ground, carefully scrubbing the traveling wheelchair.Zhou Yiqing approached him with a gloomy tone.

"You go today," he said.

X raised his head, with a blank expression on his face: "Why?"

Zhou Yiqing: "I can't keep you anymore."

X: "I'm a friend of Zhou You."

"You're not!" Zhou Yiqing was furious, walking up and down the living room, "You...I know who you are...don't touch my son!"

X threw the rag and stood up slowly. "Who am I, Uncle Zhou?"

"You said you came here from Hubei...how did you come here, your looks, those marks on your body...you can sell it, please don't teach Zhou You badly." Zhou Yiqing lowered his voice, "I only have Zhou You , I beg you, can you go a little farther away? Traveling around is very simple, don't lie to him, okay?"

X froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Yeah, I taught Zhou You badly." He laughed enough before he said, "But what did Zhou You do? He couldn't move his lower body at all."

Zhou Yiqing: "I don't care what you have done, I want you to get out now!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly taken aback by the approaching X.

"But you're right." X smiled, "I taught Zhou You many things, I went directly into his sea area, and there are so many things you can do there that you can't even imagine. He likes me very much, I also like him very much, we have even agreed to apply for a partner after we become adults, uncle, are you happy?"

Zhou Yiqing was furious and almost lost control: "Bastard!"

The out-of-control emotions caused holes in his "sea area", and almost instantly, X broke through the breakwater and entered Zhou Yiqing's "sea area".

Qin Ge heard Xie Zijing's voice, he was calling himself, and he would arrive in an hour.

Before leaving Zhou Yiqing's "sea area", he heard Zhou You asking X.

"You also call my dad 'Daddy'?" He was surprised and puzzled, "Why?"

"Papa said he wanted to adopt me." X replied, "He likes me very much."

In Zhou You's silence, X said softly: "But I love you the most. I only want you."

Zhou Yiqing sat blankly in the living room without saying a word.Zhou You sat in a wheelchair, looked at his father, and then at X. X took his hand to cover his face, kissed Zhou You's palm, his body trembled slowly, as if captured by extreme excitement: "Zhou You..."

Qin Ge broke free from this completely chaotic "sea area", gasped for breath, and subconsciously grasped the hands of the people around him tightly.

But he immediately realized that the person beside him was not Xie Zijing.

Qin Ge jumped up immediately: what he needs is a diving buddy, not anyone else.

"Qin Ge!" Xie Zijing was on the other side of him, "I'm here."

He hugged Qin Ge, and Qin Ge took a deep breath, only to realize that he was still holding another person's hand.

At some point beside him, a third person appeared.

The man seemed to be about forty years old, but he looked young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a calm expression.He held Qin Ge's hand and smiled at him, with a bit of sternness in his eyes that cannot be ignored: "Supporter, you have forcibly broken through the breakwater twice in 24 hours and entered other people's 'sea', you know you have violated the rules of the dispatcher Those three rules?"

Beside him, a big chunky wolf with gray and white fur wagged its tail and kept rubbing against his arm, but he kept pushing it away.

Qin Ge was both surprised and delighted: "Teacher Zhang Xiao!"
