implication [end times]

The report in Lou Yue's hands is the latest result of "Ran Yu Research". Its report results are the same as the project name, and it is written very simply and directly.Lou Yue quickly clarified Ran Yu's current situation - Ran Yu and Ran Qiu had a dispute, and the connection between them did not open up all the control over the body and mind.

The research used a variety of measurement methods, mainly based on the measurement of EEG signals, supplemented by other body functions.Skipping some difficult professional knowledge, this report basically restores all the observations made on Ran Yu during this period.

While in the laboratory, Ran Yu sometimes seemed to be in a listless daze, but some specific areas of the brain were extremely active, and the frequency of beta waves repeatedly exceeded the conventional maximum value.Sometimes his hands or shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was struggling with something.The electrode pads on his body accurately captured these data, and marked the electrical signal fitting function spontaneously formed by Ran Yu's brain in red, and another electrical signal that was irregular but sometimes suddenly acted on Ran Yu's brain The fitted function is marked in blue.

What Lou Yue couldn't understand was the conjecture at the end of the report. He asked Ai who was still in a trance: "The red line has a tendency to simulate the blue line to send out signals. What does this mean?"

Yan Ai put down the water glass and asked without answering, "What role do you think Ran Yu is playing now?"

Lou Yue looked at her quietly without speaking.

Yan Ai didn't seem to intend to get an answer, and continued: "Although the matter sounds mysterious and broke the common sense of many disciplines, I seem to have gotten used to being refreshed since the sea ghost invaded. Now if you want to describe Ran Yu and the sea ghost I tend to use the metaphor of 'remote synchronization' between two hosts, but the control of this synchronization is very vague, and the speed and scope are not constant. Even if the administrator or initiator is the other party, but in the open synchronization In the process, some reverse operation is not impossible."

Lou Yue suddenly understood: "You mean..."

"Ran Yu is probably trying to reverse control some actions of the opponent."

Ran Yu had just set the tableware for the last table, and when he wanted to go to the back kitchen to see if he needed help, he suddenly felt a familiar dizziness.He stabilized his body silently, walked out through the small door at the side and rear of the cafeteria, and stood still in a corner where no one was there, and then shivered.He rubbed his hands and found that his hands had become cold.

Ran Yu looked up, the afterglow in the sky was still there, and it was not time to cool down.There seemed to be water flowing on his skin, and he leaned against the wall with his head hanging, revealing a section of his fair neck, which contrasted sharply with the brick-red wall behind him.

Ran Yu closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the heavier and heavier smell of water in the air.After shaking, he opened his eyes and found himself completely submerged in water.The water obstructed his vision, but according to the faint light above his head, Ran Yu could roughly calculate that he was about ten meters away from the water.

Something swam past him quickly, causing a burst of water to hit Ran Yu's dorsal fin.Ran Yu soon discovered that it was a fish, just like himself, with a bulging body and long dorsal and tail fins—the original form of a pike in water.

Ran Yu didn't understand, so he also followed upstream.Suddenly, a crackling sound came through the thick water layer, hazy, but this sound was very special, and he could tell it was firecrackers.

While recognizing the voice, Ran Yu's tail trembled violently.

If there are firecrackers nearby, the body of water is likely to be inside the city.He flicked his tail and flipped his fins vigorously, jumped out of the water, and saw clearly the sign on the shore: city defense area, please do not approach.Below the sign is the outline of the pond, a recognizable shape.

When jumping out of the water, the sound of firecrackers and cheering voices were very clear.Ran Yu recognized this pond. Li Shuxiu introduced it when he was working just now. It is near the special operations team. The water in the pond is clearer than other places. It is said that there is a river underground connecting it to other places.

The moment Ran Yu fell back into the water, all the water around him disappeared before the water splashed.The skin returns to warm and dry, and the sound of firecrackers is deafening.He quickly covered his ears with his hands, but a clear and sharp voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Brother, you crossed the line."

Ran Yu: "Just curious."

"Really? I feel you have reservations about me."

Ran Yu: "You also reserved a lot from me."

After a while, Ran Qiu's voice reappeared: "From now on, I won't let my guard down against you."

All these conversations were carried out in silence, the sound of firecrackers stopped suddenly, the surroundings were suddenly extremely quiet, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.

"Ran Yu, why are you staring outside alone?" Zhan Yiye walked quickly to Ran Yu's side, "After firing the cannon, it's time to start the banquet."

"Oh, good." Ran Yu nodded, and walked into the cafeteria with Zhan Yiye.

The wedding ceremony was simple and warm. The couple toasted a few tables of friends with tea instead of wine, and exchanged rings in the sound of blessings.After eating and chatting for a while, everyone will return to their posts and continue to be on duty.Before the meeting, Ran Yu didn't find Lou Yue after he returned. He glanced at his communicator, and there was an unread message.Lou Yue and Yan Ai had urgent matters to deal with, so they greeted the bride and groom apologetically and left.Before leaving, Lou Yue couldn't find Ran Yu, so he had to send a message to ask him to go back to the dormitory after the end, and arranged to send him off to An Xiang.

It was Ran Yu's first day of reporting today, and he didn't need to be on duty, so he was pulled to ask questions for a while.

The former colleagues of the tenth team welcomed his return, but there was some inadvertent hesitation in their words, and many topics that came to their lips abruptly changed direction.Ran Yu just smiled, and turned to look at the neat piles of candles in the corner.Xu Pei'er told him that it was almost time for a power outage, and asked him to take a few more candles back home for emergency.

"Thank you, Teacher Pei'er." Ran Yu wanted to say some more blessings, but his social skills were limited. Even though he liked these two people very much in his heart and was very happy that they got together, the only thing on his lips was "Happy newlyweds" , be safe."

Sensing Ran Yu's awkwardness in speaking, Xu Pei'er laughed: "I have received my heart, thank you."

Ran Yu carried two candles in his arms, and followed Xiang An Ning on the way to the dormitory.

Xiang An Ning's muscles are still strong, keeping a distance of one meter from Ran Yu like a hill.Less than [-] centimeters away from Xiang An Ning was Li Shuxiu who was chattering.

"Xiangxiang, have you found the notebook I asked for yesterday?"

Xiang An Ning quietly moved towards the opposite direction of Li Shuxiu, and strode forward with a blank expression.

"Tsk, you're boring. After taking a day off, I found something good. Why don't you want to share it?" Li Shuxiu trotted to catch up, and after a few steps, he suddenly slapped his head. Is it in front of you?"

Li Shuxiu approached Ran Yu, put his elbow on Ran Yu's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "I heard that you two are married? Have you shared the dormitory?"

Ran Yu was not in the mood to listen to what Li Shuxiu said, but nodded indiscriminately in response, wiped the cold sweat from his palms on the seams of his trousers, and raised his hand to turn on the screen of the communicator that had just been turned off.Lou Yue still didn't reply.

"Brother, what are you anxious about?" Ran Qiu's voice appeared in his mind.

"It's nothing, suddenly changed to a new environment, a little strange."

"Oh? Preferably."

Ran Qiu was silent, but Ran Yu knew that if he had any abnormal behavior or words, Ran Qiu would come out to interfere or stop him immediately, and then he would completely lose trust in himself, and collect information that his shortcomings outweigh his advantages Tool destroyed.

Ran Yu is more or less useful to Ran Qiu now.Although the very few people who know about it will pay attention to the propriety of talking with Ran Yu, but living among the crowd, many things that are taken for granted cannot be hidden.For example, the current large-scale power cuts represent a shortage of energy, and the normal life of people around the second ring checkpoint represents an inevitable decline in vigilance... For the sea ghosts who are watching outside the city, these things that can be easily captured The information in the city gave the released Ran Yu a high intelligence value.And the information collected directly by the senses will be known by Ran Qiu, and Ran Yu can't cover it up with his own will.

Ran Yu felt uneasy after setting off the firecrackers. He tried to find a suitable person during the banquet, but he rejected all the people on the big tables one by one.Because he only has one chance, it may be natural to do what he wants to do and say only once, and repetition or other intentional guidance may arouse Ran Qiu's vigilance.

Without further ado, Ran Yu wanted to find Lou Yue immediately, but such behavior before the banquet was obviously strange, so he could only pretend nothing happened and wait until the end.But Lou Yue's meeting has been going on for too long, and Ran Yu has no position to ask to go to his office to interrupt the meeting, so he can only wait.

Li Shuxiu screamed strangely, and yelled: "I just said that you two can really make a fuss, what guardianship procedures, what fun are you having..."

It was only then that Ran Yu realized that Li Shuxiu might have misunderstood something, when the communicator lit up and Lou Yue called.

Ran Yu quickly picked it up: "Are you finished?"

"Did you go back?"

"On the way back, how long will you be there?"

Lou Yue's voice carried a little smile: "What's the matter, do you want to see me so much?"

"The power is about to go out," Ran Yu heard the meaning of the other party's teasing, he held a candle, tried to distract himself, and casually said a reason, "I'm afraid of the dark."

"Okay, there are still 26 minutes before the power outage." The voice over there became serious and assured, "I'll be there in 10 minutes."

Lou Yue hung up the phone, greeted Yan Ai and Albert on both sides, and walked towards the door of the meeting room.Yan Ai asked in surprise, "Why did you run away at this time?"

"There is something very important."

Although it was halftime, the first half of the meeting with a huge amount of information made the key officials of the security department slump on their chairs regardless of their image.The atmosphere in the conference room was as dead as their faces, except for Lou Yue, no one moved, it seemed that if they moved a little, the invisible pressure in the air would crush their nerves.

Captain Lou's expression was too serious. Although the people in the audience couldn't think of anything more serious than the predicament in front of them, they still told him to go first, and he would be informed of the result later.

Lou Yue nodded, and before stepping out of the meeting room, he turned to Albert and said, "Commander, don't be so desperate, there may be more desperate things to come."

Albert's rarely depressed expression regained his majesty: "Is there something wrong? Is he the one talking to you?"

"Well, I have to go back and have a look to be sure," Lou Yue said, "Be prepared for the worst."

Lou Yue drove the car very fast. Fortunately, the road in the city defense military area was empty at this time, and the roar of the engine and the strong wind blowing in from the car window did not relax his nerves in the slightest.

This meeting discussed the latest document on the Leitu system that was just released in the evening. Just like last time, the mechanism and principle were explained vaguely and even contradictory. years of top-secret documents.At the end of the document, as always, it is emphasized that we must do a good job of explaining the residents of the main city, and the maintenance of order and stability in the main city should be the first priority.

After reading it several times, Director Wei, who has been in the officialdom for decades, put forward a point of view very cautiously and cryptically.This point of view sounds extremely absurd at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it can explain the countless logical loopholes and obscure wording problems in these documents, and it also fundamentally explains why even a major crisis such as the fall of the Three Rings did not let the foundation of the legend The tea system is functioning, why is this system, which has been praised as a god, is believed and trusted by all the residents of the main city, and it is clearly a top secret, but it is widely spread among the people, and why Lou Yue and others who are actually in charge of security affairs do not have the slightest authority to intervene in it.

Lou Yue parked the car in front of the dormitory area, got off the car and hurried to the dormitory building.There will be a power outage in the dormitory building in six to seven minutes. At this time, the street lights outside have been dimmed early, and the night sky is starless and moonless. In the darkness, the dormitory buildings are like lost cruise ships that are about to sink at sea. It was a distress signal that was weakly sending out on the black sea.

Many members of the city defense army and action team who were on rest came back to rest.They walked and talked in twos and threes, speaking of defense matters with confidence.

"What are you afraid of? We have the Leitu system." Someone said excitedly, "A friend of mine knows people there, and he said that the reason for the fall of the Third Ring Road is that the system has not been used for too long, and some parts are aging. Now all The repairs are complete, and the main city will definitely be preserved."

"I've also heard that the system is so powerful that it can interfere with the weather and ecology." Another person spoke up, "Thunderstorms, typhoons, floods, radiation, let alone these monsters outside, it is ten times more, the system They can all be killed!"

"No, what I heard is that the system can control sea ghosts and make them kill each other. It happened before we built the city. It is said that it was spectacular at that time, and it was very satisfying."

"So let's finish guarding the post well, and we will be able to go back and live a good life soon..."

Those people chatted and walked away, Lou Yue pinched his brows fiercely downstairs in the unit, trying to relieve the headache caused by emotional agitation.

The wind suddenly picked up at night, it wasn't cold, but the wind blowing on the face still made Lou Yue's eyelids hurt.He turned around in silence and walked up the stairs step by step.

Over the years, it is not that no one has doubted the authenticity of the existence of the Raidu system that has been rumored to be miraculous.However, the countless knowledge and "true facts" passed down by word of mouth made it an unshakable position in the hearts of residents. The majesty and power of the city lord made officials dare not ask more questions. The half-true and false orders made it impossible for even the most cautious and suspicious high-level elites to see the truth through layers of fog.

People pinned their hope of survival on the great intellectual crystallization of the main city, the "Rayta System", but only those who participated in the file decryption meeting at night discovered the terrible truth in silence—this system may not exist at all.

This rumored Leitu system, which has sophisticated tactics, left the fire of survival for mankind half a century ago and brought endless hope to people today, is just a collective tranquilizer.
