implication [end times]

When did the brother show up?

This questioning method is very strange.Ran Yu was taken aback by the question, of course Ran Qiu had been with him since birth, what happened?They are two brothers who have lived together for a long time.

In order to prove this point, Ran Yu tried to recall Ran Qiu's appearance when he was a child. Maybe he was a small lump when he was born, and when he grew up, he might complain to his parents that his brother bullied him, or he might pull his sleeves want to play together...

The word "maybe" was added because Ran Yu suddenly discovered that he really had no impression of Ran Qiu when he was a child.Ran Qiu in his memory has always looked like fourteen or fifteen years old, with curly hair and a baby face, who likes to wear suspenders and shorts to reveal a pair of thin white legs, pulls flip-flops, loves to act like a baby, loves to have a small temper, is always picky and hungry .Sometimes when Ran Yu sees that his younger brother is getting thinner, he will spend a lot of time hunting in the distant mountains and forests and come back to cook a hearty meal, but Ran Qiu doesn't want to eat it.Ran Yu had no choice but to chase after Ran Qiu with a rice bowl to feed, from one end of the yard to the other. When Ran Qiu was really impatient with being chased, he would forcefully open his mouth to eat a few bites, and then he would bury his head in the ground as if venting his anger. Ran Yu's chest, rubbing his oily mouth against Ran Yu's clothes.

Every time Ran Qiu made trouble for no reason, Ran Yu could only coax him patiently, making toys for him with wooden sticks and bamboo, and using the accumulated glass candy paper to fold him into small fish and crabs, and he would soon show a smiling face——Ran Qiu seems to like the sea that he has never seen before, and most of the small toys at home are in the shape of sea creatures.

By the way, Ran Qiu, who loves to be coquettish and easy to coax, came later.At the beginning, Ran Qiu was always cold and full of hostility. He liked to climb to high places, sometimes on the closet, sometimes on the bookshelf, and then looked down at Ran Yu busy in the yard with a look of observing ants. go.Not only does he not help, but he always makes trouble. He often kicks down a whole row of shelves after Ran Yu has just sorted out the scattered boxes in the warehouse, and sees the screws and cans scattered all over the floor, and then looks at this with novelty. Laugh out loud at the messy scene.Especially when he saw Ran Yu glaring at him angrily, and had to bend down to pack his things again, he squatted on the top of the shelf and laughed even more happily.

In the beginning, Ran Qiu always liked to play such an annoying little game, and Ran Yu, the older brother, had no choice but to catch Ran Qiu and pinch his fleshy face occasionally when he got really angry.Later, Ran Qiu got tired of playing too many times, or he was distracted by the little toys Ran Yu made for him, so he stopped playing this kind of troublesome game, and then, the kind that made Ran Yu feel a little uncomfortable. The indifferent and playful look at the ants also gradually disappeared from Ran Qiu's eyes.

...wait, when was this "just beginning"?Does such a starting point really exist?

Once a person has doubts about a certain part of his memory, it is like grabbing a short thread of a sweater. When a person grabs the thread and pulls it out, he will unknowingly find that the whole sweater is falling apart.Ran Yu's memory of Ran Qiu is also like this unraveled ball of wool, crumpled and twisted together, not systematic.

Ran Yu suddenly and clearly recalled the last letter he wrote to Heng Heng before entering the city.It was at the beginning of March, three months before he was going to take the city entrance examination and had the opportunity to enter the city. In this letter, he was excitedly considering that if he could pass the selection, he would give the materials stored in this yard to the post office. Colleagues and the pharmacy owner who has always taken good care of him, in the letter he listed many things in detail, and even planned to send his favorite modified weapons to the city to share with Hem, but unfortunately the post office does not accept such For business, it is not allowed to carry such a huge number of weapons when entering the city.

And the reason why he considered moving the house out was because he was the only one living in the house at the time—or, since his parents died five years ago, he had been the only one living in the house.

Where did the fourteen or fifteen-year-old brother come from?

But, why did Ran Qiu appear in his life, and why did he always believe that Ran Qiu was his younger brother, and the two had lived together for many years?

Seeing Ran Yu's expression getting more and more dazed, Lou Yue tightened his grip on his knee, and he tentatively asked, "Has anyone else seen your younger brother?"

Lou Yue's meaning was obvious, he suspected that this younger brother was imagined by Ran Yu himself.If that's the case, that's easy to do. You just need to take Ran Yu to see an expert in neurology or psychiatry, but if the "brother" who caused Ran Yu's chaotic and false memories is indeed someone, then the situation will be very serious. Too much trouble.

Ran Yu thought for a while and said, "Someone has seen it before. Before entering the city, He Rongsheng came to my house to ask me to set off together, and we even had dinner together."

Lou Yue's expression became more and more solemn. He was about to dial He Rongsheng's number to confirm, when he heard the communicator on his wrist vibrate.The caller was the old leader of the scientific research institute, urging him to hurry back to the meeting.This is the first multi-party joint meeting since the appearance of sea ghosts in the main city. Representatives from important institutions such as military security departments and scientific research institutes must participate, and the chief and deputy city lords are of course also present.

The meeting was scheduled at noon, which was a time taken out of the busy schedule of representatives of various departments. It would be embarrassing to be late.As soon as he hung up the phone, someone called in. It was Shan Qun, Yan Ai's assistant, who said that he had made a new discovery in the study of Ran Yu's blood samples and needed Ran Yu to go to the scientific research institute.Lou Yue responded, and then called Xiang Anxiang, asking him to pick up Ran Yu later.

Lou Yue returned home in a hurry, he didn't intend to eat, but asked Ran Yu to eat first, and wait for someone to pick him up to the research institute.

"Don't worry, Yan Ai's team won't do anything to harm people for the sake of scientific research." Lou Yue said, "But if you encounter anything that feels wrong, don't hesitate to contact me immediately, you know? I will also Tell the deputy again."

"it is good."

After explaining everything he could, Lou Yue left in a hurry. Before he left, Ran Yu stuffed a small piece of bread in his hand and asked him to rest his stomach on the way.

When the meeting lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon, Lou Yue began to feel thankful that he had listened to Ran Yu's words and ate the bread, otherwise he would have been so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back.

What was going on was the speech of the security department, some clichéd speeches, Lou Yue only listened briefly, looking at the muted communicator, guessing that Ran Yu should also go to the scientific research institute at this time.Originally, Ran Yu should have had a good rest at home for a day, and he was asked to go out to make a fuss, and he might have to draw blood. Lou Yue felt a little annoyed when he thought of this.But research on Ran Yu is imperative, too many things have happened to him.

In all fairness, Lou Yue had doubts about Ran Yu a few days ago.Although he didn't think that Ran Yu would be the kind of person who would collude with sea ghosts and betray his own kind, but if Ran Yu was used to do something that was not good for the main city, as the captain of the inspection responsible for security affairs, Lou Yue would never tolerate it.

This unprecedented outbreak of sea ghost tide did not appear at point E on the old version of the map, that is, the abandoned hospital near the temporary quarantine area, which made Lou Yue feel relieved a little, but it was only a little bit.

Just thinking about it, it was the turn of the scientific research institute to speak.Lou Yue listened carefully for a while, but Yan Ai, who was sitting next to him, accidentally knocked over the water glass on the table.

The water almost wet the documents on the table, Yan Ai hurriedly apologized to both sides in a low voice, and wiped the table with a paper towel.Lou Yue also helped wipe out a tissue for a while, he found that the corners of Yan Ai's eyes were slightly red, and the back of his hand was covered with fingernail marks.

Obviously she pinched it herself just now, because she started to pinch the back of her hand unconsciously after wiping the table.After listening attentively for a while, Lou Yue understood the reason. What the speaker was talking about was the research results of the late Professor Shi Xun that had not been released before.

Professor Shi Xun is about the same age as Yan Ai, and is also a young and promising scientist, but she was studying under Yuan Qiong at that time, and she was studying sea ghosts.This was not a popular major at the time, so Shi Xun's reputation was not as prominent as Ai Ai's.

According to Shi Xun's research, sea ghosts probably have a social structure similar to that of humans.From the appearance of sea ghosts on the land to the later driving of humans into the enclosure, the huge number of sea ghosts did not rely on numbers and brute force to win without any rules.On the contrary, from the countless offensive and defensive battles between humans and sea ghosts in history, it can be found that sea ghosts have the same role as a commander. It commands the group of ghosts and fights wits and courage with humans. Santo.

The communication method between sea ghosts is also a key research topic of Shi Xun. She proposed that the way of transmitting information between sea ghosts may not be through the vocal cords as humans thought in the past.The "language" between sea ghosts is not sound but a special "connection". But Shi Xun didn't give a clear answer to what this kind of connection is before he died. He only said that it is a type that humans cannot understand at present. thing.

These old research results on sea ghosts cheered up everyone and started discussions.Yan Ai also quickly adjusted his status and made a report within the scope of his own research.

Lou Yue could understand Yan Ai's gaffe just now, because Shi Xun, who died young, was Yan Ai's best friend and lover.

The work of the Third Ring Security Bureau is very heavy.As the wounded went back to recuperate, and the task of checking the returned quarantined personnel was urgent, armed personnel were sent to every household with reagents, and many leaders in the Security Bureau and office clerks who had never been outside were asked to go to the streets for security checks. Checked out.

Li Shuxiu, who is habitually lazy and slippery, can't escape the task of patrolling the streets. When the sea ghost tide broke out, he hid at Yihuan's house to drink, which caused strong dissatisfaction among many people. Some even wrote an anonymous letter to the deputy city lord. .The deputy city lord was furious, and ordered his son to go back to the third ring and start a new life, and revoked his permission to return to the first ring.

At this time, Li Shuxiu could only lower his peach blossom eyes, and complained to the forensic doctor next to him who was also forced out: "You said that we are not good at this kind of thing. It is a waste for us to come out. Isn't there an outside job to patrol the streets?"

The forensic doctor thought to himself, aren't you just a field worker, but he didn't say anything, just pretending that he could patrol the streets.

"If you want me to say that everyone is too panicked, aren't they just sea ghosts? We could drive them back to the sea decades ago. Now that we have grown stronger and technology has improved, why are you so nervous?" Li Shuxiu swayed Looking at the shop windows around, he doesn’t take the street patrol as a priority, “Let me tell you, even if there is an accident in the third ring road, let’s go live in the first ring road together. The first ring road is great, without these stinking sewers and alleys, It's clean over there, and there are many beauties and handsome men..."

The forensic doctor didn't even have the strength to complain in his heart.He turned his head to look at the dirty and smelly alley on one side, and asked, "Did we check this side just now?"

"It's been checked, no problem, no problem." Li Shuxiu pinched his nose and pushed the forensic doctor away.

After they left, a dirty figure hunched over in the alley and quietly walked through an old door.

"Mr. Gong..." the man called out in a low voice, "I'm back. Why have our people been removed in the past month? Getting into the city almost cost me half my life..."

"Lou Yue was strictly investigating cheating in the city entrance exam last month, and took away all of our people." Despite the hot weather, the person called Teacher Gong in the dilapidated house was still wearing a long sea-blue cloak and wearing a cloak on his face. Wearing a black mask, with a majestic voice, "Speak business, Sun Er."

Only then did Sun Er tremblingly say: "There are monsters outside the city... Sun Da was eaten by monsters right in front of my eyes. I can't breathe... I've been having nightmares for a month, Teacher Gong, do you think there is any way for me to..."

Teacher Gong ignored him, but asked, "How is the task done? How many did you bring back?"

Sun Er lost his voice.Just as Teacher Gong was about to get angry, he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the debris pile at the corner of the dilapidated house.He curbed his anger and said to Sun Er: "You go back first, and I will notify you when there are tasks later."

Sun Er wanted to say something, but Teacher Gong had already waved his hand, as if chasing people away, so he had no choice but to leave quietly.

A boy stepped out of the debris pile.

If Li Shuxiu was here at this time, he would definitely recognize these two people.One is a core member of the Mutual Aid Association at No. 23 Ginkgo Road, Mr. Gong who preaches in the big classroom, and the other is the little guy A Song from the pastry shop next door.

Ah Song casually walked a few steps back and forth in this room, and sat down on a higher table.

Teacher Gong's voice was a little more respectful: "Did you eat Sun Da?"

Ah Song tilted his head to the left: "I was too hungry at that time."

"The ones out of town on errands are mine, and I told you their names."

Asong seemed sleepy, yawned lazily and said, "Who can remember the name of the food?"

Teacher Gong was stunned for a moment, but nodded as if agreeing: "However, I heard that your brother has made meritorious service, so I want to take you in."

When talking about his brother, his tone was a little more playful and mocking.

A Song raised his eyes and glanced at him coolly: "I won't come in, at least not now."

"You really can't come in now," Teacher Gong said, "If someone with a heart starts to investigate, your existence may be discovered."

"I know, I've already found out. And your annoying Captain Lou asked my brother to have an examination again today." A Song said, "The blood draw is really painful. How many times have they drawn my brother's blood. You humans It's so stupid and persistent, it's too much."

Mr. Gong, who was scolded for no reason, was not annoyed either. He was about to say something when Ah Song suddenly trembled all over, and then let out an "ah", his head drooped, and his body softened, as if the thread had been cut off suddenly. puppet.

After a few seconds, Ah Song suddenly raised his head and looked to the side in a daze. When he saw Teacher Gong, he jumped down from the table in panic and apologized repeatedly for his rude behavior.

Gong Xiao's originally polite tone became regretful, and he murmured: "The cross-species connection is really too unstable."
