implication [end times]

Back to an hour ago, Shan Qun inadvertently discovered a problem during another chat with Ran Yu.

At that time they chatted about Ran Yu's life before entering the city.Shan Qun asked him if he was often injured living outside the city.How to treat an injury.Ran Yu answered truthfully, saying that the warehouse at home would keep medicines on hand. He put the medicines into boxes by category, and when he found that a certain box was half empty, he would go to the pharmacy to replenish it in time.

Shanqun had told him before that when cooperating with the investigation, he should tell as many details as possible, as well as some unusual things.After thinking about it carefully, Ran Yu said, "The medicines in my warehouse are never empty...No, before I came to take the city entrance exam, my box of antibiotics seemed to be empty."

Shan Qun was sorting out the data at hand while chatting with Ran Yu at the time, when she heard this, she raised her head and asked, "Are you sure? Did you remember it wrong?"

"No, it would make me uneasy if the medicine box was two-thirds empty. I couldn't forget to add it. At that time, He Rongsheng came to me because he didn't have any antibiotics. I was worried that he was sick and had no medicine to take. I also asked him to wash in hot water. Take a bath, and then go out to chop wood."

"Could it be that you ran out of medicine and forgot to buy it? Did you get seriously ill in the three months before you entered the city?"

Ran Yu shook his head: "I can't remember exactly. But the medicine box is very big, and I'm unlikely to use it up all at once. That's probably a lethal dose."

In order to verify Ran Yu's words, Shan Qun greeted Captain Ding Taitai and borrowed He Rongsheng who was busy resettling the victims of the third ring.

He Rongsheng is obviously very ignorant of the current situation. He has been busy with rescue and resettlement these days, thinking that Ran Yu must also give full play to his abilities, and he is so busy. Who knows that this good brother who went to the city together is suddenly regarded as a dangerous research object. closed.

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't reveal it...Wait, his brother is a sea ghost?" He Rongsheng felt that his brain couldn't keep up with Shan Qun's story, "And now Ran Qiu is probably using Ran Yu to find out News from our side? How did this happen? Ran Yu is not a bug."

The simple group briefly described the latest progress in the current research on "connection".

"Now we tend to understand the connection between sea ghosts as a kind of wireless bioelectricity. Of course, this term is not accurate, and it is only for understanding." Shan Qun said, "Now it's time for you to answer my question. Went to Ran Yu's house, did you find anything wrong?"

"There's something wrong with Ran Qiu... Who would have thought that such a beautiful child would be a man-eating sea ghost? He acted too much like a human being." He Rongsheng recalled the scene at that time. He thought it was a child who had a weird personality and a greedy mouth, but now thinking about it, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Ran Yu glanced at He Rongsheng, but said nothing.

Shan Qun asked: "Did you notice any abnormalities in Ran Yu at the time? For example, what kind of injuries did you suffer?"

"It's very common to get a little injury outside the city. Even if I have, I can't remember... No, the box of antibiotics in his home is empty. According to Ran Yu's personality, this is almost impossible. I went to the warehouse to find a repair found it in the generator's toolbox, but forgot to ask him afterwards."

"It seems that this incident actually happened." Shan Qun said to Ran Yu, "I'm sorry to prove it in this way, because many of your memories are disordered, so..."

"It's okay, it's understandable," Ran Yu said.

Shan Qun exhaled: "Or if you think about it carefully, did you have any unusual wounds on your body three months before entering the city?"

Ran Yu was still thinking, and He Rongsheng took the lead to answer: "I seem to know this. He has a long new scar on his abdomen. We were in the same dormitory when we entered the city for the exam, and I accidentally saw it. He said he didn't remember it at the time."

"By the way, as far as I know, Ran Yu worked part-time at the post office before." Shan Qun said, "Did you encounter any danger when you went on missions before the entrance exam?"

"He asked for leave and didn't come to work for nearly three months." He Rongsheng said.

"It happened, but I don't remember why."

"Stable connection, suddenly empty antibiotic box, abdominal scar..." Shan Qun stood up all of a sudden, her movements were so sudden that she almost knocked over the stool, "There was a case a long time ago, with you It's kind of like. Excuse me, I have to go back and look through the materials, can you wait for me for half an hour?"

During the waiting time, He Rongsheng was invited out of the laboratory by the soldiers on duty at the gate.Albert and Director Wei were very wary of Ran Yu, and it was difficult for people outside the research institute to see Ran Yu once.But Ran Yu can understand this kind of vigilance and nervousness. If he found such a strange thing that would threaten his life, it would be difficult for him to restrain his impulse to get rid of the danger immediately.Therefore, he could more or less guess the reason why he was not dealt with immediately - in addition to his scientific research value, it was also because the chief inspector in charge of security affairs withstood countless pressures and doubts in the dark.

Whenever Captain Lou flinches and hesitates a little, or Albert and Director Wei are more eager for quick success, Ran Yu, a highly suspected "undercover sea ghost", does not know what harsh punishment he will face.After all, a catastrophic disaster like the fall of the Three Rings, with countless casualties, has brought too much shock and pain to people, and extremely strong emotions need to be exported, otherwise the stacking of emotions among the crowd will lead to catastrophe.Ran Yu had already experienced how many demented things a crazy crowd could do in that riot.If all the "fault" can be pushed to a punishable person, and this person is punished on behalf of the collective will, the emotions of the crowd will easily reach a climax and gradually return to calm after the climax.

The current Ran Yu is the most suitable person to be thrown out to bear the wrath of the public.He could even imagine the scene where he was torn to pieces by the angry crowd, the level of horror might be second only to dying among the sea ghosts.

However, every time Lou Yue came over, he always looked calm and calm, telling Ran Yu not to worry too much, and all the work was proceeding in an orderly manner.Lou Yue will not disclose effective information. He probably washed up before coming here. Ran Yu can smell the familiar faint fragrance of shampoo, but from the increasingly black lower eyelids of the other party, it can be seen that he has not been relaxed in recent days.

Ran Yu, who has lost his weapon, feels very insecure in this laboratory that is not suitable for human habitation at first glance. Because he can't sleep well at night, he often dozes off during the day, but when he hears footsteps outside the door, he immediately falls asleep. vigilance.Lou visits him at one of the rare times of the day when he feels relaxed—second only to mealtime.

These days his brain seems not to be under control, apart from often thinking of Lou Yue, he also often thinks of the small courtyard where he lives outside the city.The former's voice and smile are vague and vague, which is what the memory should look like, while the latter is so real and strange, as if he is really observing his current yard in real time through a moving lens.

He saw the electric grid on the roof of the yard was removed, and the finfish with its long tail circled in the air and then stopped on the eaves. Then it swooped down and grabbed a chicken.The other chicken clucked and ran back to the nest, and someone seemed to be laughing next to it.Ran Yu tried to turn his head to look around, but he didn't find anyone else. After a while, he found that the laughter came from his own throat.

When Ran Yu was amazed by this dreamlike scene, Shan Qun came back.

Shan Qun came in struggling with a stack of thick paper materials, she noticed Ran Yu's dazed and confused eyes at this moment, and asked him what was wrong.

After hearing Ran Yu's brief talk about his current situation, Shanqun said with a serious face: "I found the case I just mentioned, but he is very different from you. It was before the city was built, and there was a person who was parasitized by sea ghosts and failed. , he took an overdose of antibiotics and other drugs midway because he was too scared, and tried to cut off the affected area by physical means. After cutting off the infected body tissue, he achieved a very stable connection with the sea ghost that infected him, They can know the movements and intentions of sea ghosts, and even try to send messages to humans and act as 'interpreters'."

Ran Yu: "So, that person's situation is indeed very similar to my experience... although I don't remember anything."

"But the problem is that he only survived for less than two hours." Shan Qun said, "In the decades since then, several great volunteers have volunteered to participate in human experiments, trying to break into the sea ghost to deliver news to us. , but all failed in the end. There are various reasons for the failure, but the most important one is the dose and type of inhibitory drugs. If you want to prevent the sea ghost virus from spreading, you will first kill the parasite... Those The longest survival time among the volunteers did not exceed ten hours."

"And I've lived till now." Ran Yu said, "So, should this possibility be overturned?"

"No, I think this direction is right. It's just that there may be some changes in your body, it may be a special physical problem, it may be the type and dosage of antibiotics, or it may even be a matter of luck... But I think the most It may be that the sea ghost voluntarily gave up on continuing to infect you, and helped you clean up the deadly drug components in your body. You survived because the No. 1 sea ghost wanted you to survive."

Shan Qun looked into Ran Yu's eyes, but what he said seemed to be aimed at Ran Qiu: "Am I right?"

Ran Yu's originally calm expression suddenly showed a bit of sarcasm, he tilted his head to the left, and said impatiently: "Sister, you are so annoying."
