implication [end times]

Xiang An's hands were pressed against the seams of his trousers, and cold sweat continued to break out from his palms, staining the fabric at the seams of his trousers with dark spots.

He came to report something related to Ran Yu to Lou Yue.

When he learned of this, Xiang An Ning did not indulge his awakening of the radar as usual, on the contrary, his heart sank severely, and he was no longer in the mood of joy.At the same time, he also expected that his uneasy level would increase greatly in the next period of time.

Recently, Professor Yan Ai's team made new discoveries in the research on the suspicious RNA virus in the last riot.After infection, this virus can change a person's thinking, thereby affecting actions, and will be metabolized and degraded after a period of time.The strange thing is that this period of time is not fixed, but is triggered by a certain "purpose".This process is like a person suddenly becoming a puppet of some power, so this virus is named puppet virus.

After the virus emerged, Lou Yue, in addition to arranging work in the temporary isolation area, also thought of all the people involved in the Ginkgo Tree Association, such as the deputy director of the city defense office, Feng Haotian, etc.At that time, Lou Yue handed over the detection task to Xiang Anxiang and asked him to follow up.

Boss Feng, a rich man who loves to play darts, was not infected, but the deputy director of the City Defense Office was.

When Xiang An went to the city defense station for daily inspection work, he was stopped by the deputy director who had been severely demoted and shouted to make up for his mistakes.According to the deputy director's confession, one night after the entrance exam, that is, the night when Lou Yue caught him, a person from the nearby exam area once visited the city defense station.At that time, the deputy head was full of thoughts to cover that person and let him go, let him get acquainted with the city defense station, and abused his power to take him to the confidential document room.

Although the deputy director couldn't remember the person's appearance, and the video of the city defense station that night was artificially damaged, there was a camera hidden in the woods next to the fence of the examination area to capture the situation at that time.

That person is Ran Yu.

Lou Yue looked down at the documents on the table, and after a long time, he asked, "Are you sure?"

Xiang An An's fingers curled up, and he clenched the seam of his trousers: "I watched that video a dozen times over and over again, and I'm sure...you were in it, and later drove him away."

Lou Yue finally raised his eyes from the pile of documents.At this time, it was pitch black outside the window, and the incandescent lamps in the room were not bright. Under the dim light, the color difference between Lou Yue's dark blue eyes and brown eyes was not obvious, and they both showed a dull dark color.

"I see, go ahead."

After Xiang An Ning left, Lou Yue sat alone at the desk, staring blankly for a while.

He still had a mountain of work to do, and he shouldn't have wasted time like this, but he just couldn't calm down.

Lou Yue recalled that late night less than a month ago.

At that time, the city entrance examination had just ended, and Lou Yue got the news that the Ginkgo Road Mutual Aid Association, which he had been tracking down, had discovered a new suspicious member.In order to prevent public officials from participating in illegal assemblies, especially the deputy director, who is an important position that involves the safety of the main city, Lou Yue, who had already lost sleep that night, immediately drove to the scene with two inspectors on duty.

When passing by the examination area, he subconsciously looked in, but unexpectedly, he saw the person he wanted to see.By coincidence, Lou Yue stopped the car and asked the two team members to check the situation first.

At that time, Ran Yu's legs and feet were very stiff, and he was lingering slowly by the railing. When Lou Yue went over to stop him, he was looking sleepy.He looked unprepared, as if he had just been dragged out of the bed by someone, and the corners of his mouth curled down showed a little wake-up air.

Lou Yue's first reaction was to sleepwalk.Ran Yu's reaction also confirmed this point.

Originally, Lou Yue was in a bad mood that day.The examinee, who only met briefly in the examination room, didn't know that he had been recognized, and was a little embarrassed when facing the seemingly ruthless inspector captain.So Lou Yue's mood improved a little bit, because a fresh friend who was different from the letter paper was sitting beside him, and although the other party knew nothing about it, Lou Yue unilaterally felt a sense of peace of mind.

Lou Yue never thought about another situation that night, which was the real situation - Ran Yu didn't accidentally sleepwalk to the railing near the city defense post, he just came back from the city defense post.

After Ran Yu lay in the hospital for three days, the doctor said that he could be discharged from the hospital to recuperate, so he was taken home by Lou Yue.

Although Ran Yu looked worse than Lou Yue, fortunately, no bones or internal organs were injured.Most of his body was covered with flesh wounds, and after applying medicine and wrapping a large area of ​​bandages, he only needed to change the dressing and recuperate.Unlike Lou Yue, who had a broken bone and had to argue with the doctor for a long time, just to be able to leave the hospital early and work overtime.

On the first night after being discharged from the hospital, Ran Yu slept well.He dreamed of the familiar sea again.

But there are some changes.Instead of eating a fish and turning into another fish, this time he is just a small lonely fish living alone in the dark bottom of the sea.The jellyfish and floating silkworms emit blue-green light, which can almost illuminate a small piece of sea water around them.He swims around aimlessly, and his life is as empty as a coral reef except for predation and predation. There is a coral reef of unknown age next to the cave where he lives. The rough surface is full of holes, although it is still alive. , the body is still growing outwards, but the whole body seems to exude the decayed smell of death.

After successfully evading a fierce predator again, Ran Yu's turbulent mood gradually faded, and once again he felt that he had changed from a young and healthy fish to an old and boring coral reef.

He thought, it's really boring to repeat yesterday's life like this, and it's not worth living for such a life.But what is considered interesting, what is worth living, he does not know.No creature around him knew it, and other creatures thought he was a different kind.On the seemingly large and vast seabed, countless schools of fish, shrimps and crabs shuttle back and forth, and bacteria and insects gather together, but he can't find a life similar to him that can help him relieve his loneliness.

This kind of life ended at a very ordinary moment when he found a broken clam shell in the crevice of the reef.Inside he found an extremely beautiful pearl, round and large, with a gentle glow flowing from its surface.

Ran Yu carefully took out the pearl, wagging his tail and swimming back to the cave where he lived. He felt that he had never been so excited and happy since he was born. Plated with a soft halo, it also brought "worth" to his life.He hid the pearl in the deepest part of the cave.He was struck by this beauty, his mind was fully opened, and he suddenly realized that he lived to meet a beautiful pearl for a short moment in a long and boring time.

This pearl, which somehow enlightened his mind, was always with him.Then, the dream began to repeat, the fish ate the fish, turned into another creature, and then turned into the sea.

But this time the dream didn't stop there.And then, he climbed onto the bank, the strange and warm sun shining on his skin.Surrounding him were strange two-legged creatures, holding sharp harpoons and yelling in terror.

The moment he left the sea, Ran Yu seemed to have regained some of his sanity, and no longer felt that he was a fish or a sea.But the pearl is still tightly held in the palm of the hand.

This precious feeling reminded Ran Yu of his small axe.This is a kind of thing that should be placed next to the pillow when you sleep, and you can feel at ease when you can get it at any time.

When Ran Yu was about to see how shiny this pearl would be on the shore, a voice sounded behind him.The tone was familiar, but the tone made him feel chills inexplicably.

"What are you doing here?"

When the tide and sunlight disappeared, Ran Yu opened his eyes and saw the closed study door in front of him. He held a thin wire in his hand and poked it into the keyhole, as if he was trying to pry open the door.

Ran Yu turned around and saw the owner of the study standing under the ceiling lamp with a gloomy expression.

Lou Yue's right hand has been unbandaged and has a single finger again.He took out his study key and said, "It's all here, come in and sit for a while."

When he took the key to open the door, the pain from Lou Yue's injured finger traveled along the nerves to his heart, and his heart ached.
