Abyss

The video is 5 minutes, and the greetings are two hours.

Lin Qian came out of the Public Security Bureau, stood at the door and lit a cigarette.At 01:30 in the morning, if I had known this point before coming out of the dive, I would have brought a coat for myself.The wind in this morning is really so cold.In fact, as long as you go in before diving in and ask the people inside to borrow a piece of clothing, they will definitely give it to you enthusiastically, but even if it is snowing outside now, he doesn't want to go in again.

I don't know why the video of him and his father Lin Qiubai is arranged at night, and I don't know why it has to be held at the Provincial Public Security Bureau.He basically didn't know any people from the Provincial Public Security Bureau, but he heard that they were from Commander Jiang's family, so these people could be regarded as half acquaintances of him.Lin Qian also works in a government agency, and he also knows how to socialize in the officialdom. Even though he doesn't want to, he can't help but not want to.

The video was scheduled at [-]:[-] p.m., and Linqian went there after getting off work at [-]:[-] p.m. out of politeness. It was only a little past [-]:[-] p.m. when he arrived at the Provincial Public Security Bureau; so the video call officially started after nearly two hours of "asking for warmth".The call lasted only ten minutes, and the remaining three or four hours were spent surrounded by a group of police officers.But today he inspected all the names that can be called in the Public Security Bureau.

That feeling is probably similar to being captured alive.

Lin Qian felt that this was more like house arrest.These people held him back until they repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with the video call before letting him go.

Some strong ash had accumulated at the cigarette butt, Linqian flicked them off, took another puff, squinted his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at the faint flame at the cigarette butt; looking a little farther along the flame, Linqian unconsciously Laughed a bit.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm not here to pick you up, I'm afraid you will recognize your long-lost old father and cry until you die." Jiang Xuanye said, unbuttoning his windbreaker jacket, taking it off, and twirling around with both hands on both sides of the collar Draped on the shoulders of the dive.

Submerged "?"

Jiang Xuanye said, "Just wear a shirt, isn't it cold?"

In the world of diving, Jiang Xuanye is a dog.

"Thank you." Lin Qian put on the windbreaker, which is too easy to be misunderstood, after all, only men and women can criticize each other's coats.Although he is not much shorter than Jiang Xuanye, and has a height of 179, after all, next to Jiang Xuanye's relatively strong figure, Linqian looks thin like a woman.

"Did you come by car?" Lin Qian asked.He was referring to Jiang Xuanye's motorcycle, but if he said "Have you come by bike?" it would feel like using a shared bicycle.Cavaliers are very face-saving, so Linqian decided to use the verb "open" to be more appropriate.

"No, it's up to you to send me home or take me home." Jiang Xuanye shrugged.

Linqian naturally knew what he meant, and said with a smile, "Take you home."

Jiang Xuanye also smiled, but he showed much more teeth than Linqian, "Okay! Caring, old man!"

Jiang Xuanye is a local, very authentic.His great-grandfather, that is, Jiang Chao's grandfather, used to be a bandit who ruled the mountains in the Northeast. In the end it was all over.At that time, Jiang Xuanye's grandfather had already decided the general situation of the world, and his family's battles were almost finished, so he joined the army. After all, the mountains were wiped out, so he must have something to eat, right?Fortunately, Jiang Xuanye's great-grandfather had the foresight to hire a gentleman for him, who was an only seedling Miao Miao. He had learned some words, and his bloodline of fighting was good in the Vietnam War, so he became a cadre.Later, Jiang Chao didn't have any battles to fight at that time, and Jiang Xuanye's grandfather had just returned from the front line, so he joined the army directly, and he did a good job.It's just that I didn't expect to be here with Jiang Xuanye - this guy is short-sighted!

In any case, the ancestors like Linqian are eight times from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I quite like the forthright northerners like Jiang Xuanye.

Jiang Xuanye sat down on the co-pilot and put his feet in front of the glass.Lin Qian said, "Take it down, it's dangerous."

Jiang Xuanye didn't take it seriously, "How dangerous can it be?"

Lin Qian said, "The momentary force of the impact will poke your calf bones into your rich pectoral muscles."

Jiang Xuanye was taken aback for a moment, then took his foot off, "It sounds like it hurts." He said, "How about today's video, does it look like you?"

The car started up and picked up speed within three seconds of driving out of the compound.Lin Qian opened the car windows on both sides, pointed the direction with one hand with his right hand, and lit another cigarette with his left hand.The lights on the road meandered, and the night wind poured in from the car window, blowing away the smoke and blowing up Jiang Xuanye's bangs. Linqian glanced at him inadvertently from the rearview mirror. The outline is very nice.

"I look a lot like him." Lin Qian said, "But he might not really be my dad."

Lin Qian was taken to an interrogation room by two middle-aged men in police uniforms. There were three walls, one side was a huge mirror—a one-way mirror, and the other side was glass.The interior of the room is relatively warm, there are no chairs with small table boards and bright lights, but slightly exaggerated folding tables and computer chairs instead.There are obvious dragging marks on the ground, which should have just been moved here to alleviate the awkward atmosphere of the interrogation prisoner, but it has a great sense of disobedience to the whole room.

The two men who brought him in were tall and thin, with a square jaw, and looked like an older version of Huang Xiaoming;The tall and thin palms still have calluses on the tiger's mouth, which should be caused by years of gun use.

Sending such two people here is simply out of the ordinary.Lin Qian thought about himself, the system is not installed, and the fight is even more complete, from childhood to big fights are all fought by the emperor.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lin, we have been doing sanitation recently, and the other rooms have just been sprayed with cockroach poison, and the smell is quite strong. You are here, and you will be done with it?" said the short and fat one, while the tall and thin one said: He kept a stern face and said nothing, as if he would rub Lin Qian on the ground at any time.

"Okay, you're being polite, that's fine." Lin Qian was not in the mood to talk to them, and just wanted to "see" Lin Qiubai sooner.

The video was connected, and the two police officers looked at each other and then quietly at the camera in the corner before retreating and closing the door gently.

The computer is a laptop with a simple and quaint appearance, with a wired mouse plugged in.Soon a man in his fifties sat down on the screen, with a classic but dignified [-] points, wearing a somewhat ill-fitting casual T-shirt - it can't be said that it doesn't fit, it's just that Lin Qian felt that he was a little uneasy wearing this suit, as if he didn't quite adapt to it.This "Lin Qiubai" did not wear thick glasses as he imagined, but he was handsome and handsome, and he was indeed very similar to himself.

It's just that in his eyes, Lin Qian saw more vigilance.

Lin Qian tentatively called out "Dad?"

After a few seconds, Lin Qiubai had a reaction, his eyes were red, his lips parted, and he said after a while, "The sea has grown so big."

"Dahai" is Linqian's baby name, it seems that because her mother had a difficult delivery and she almost died, but she survived in the end, Lin Qiubai took this baby name in order to thank the gods in the sea.For so many years, except for my father who called me so in the letter, there is no other person.

But luckily no one else knew about it, Linqian thought it might as well be called Goudan.

Although Linqian was clear-headed, he couldn't control his emotions when faced with such a situation, so he also called out "Dad" again with red eyes.

In fact, Linqian is very clear in his mind at this time, his emotional collapse is the most terrible thing, it will not only affect his own judgment, but also give someone who is interested in it an opportunity to take advantage of.But he just can't control it very well, but fortunately, his speech and actions are still under his control.

"These years... I've worked hard on you, I'm sorry."

"No, Dad, Uncle Jiang treats me like his own, but you..."

"Is your job okay now? Do you need Dad to help you move?"

"No, Dad, it's all good." Lin Qian's food is all from Jiang's family, but the money for the car is from Lin Qiubai, a sum of 60 yuan. Lin Qian doesn't understand how he can There is so much money.

"Dad was so happy when I heard that you were admitted to Northeastern University." The signal faltered.

After the two were speechless for a while, "Do you have anything to ask Dad?" The signal faltered.

Before diving, I thought about it for a while, "How is your physical condition? Do you have any old diseases? I mean you left it when you went to sea."

The signal freezes for a long time.It seems that this is not a good question. No matter how tall or short, fat or thin these people are, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. The intention of asking this question is too obvious.Lin Qian regretted his impulsiveness.

"No." Lin Qiubai bent his thin arms upwards and exaggerated the movement of a strongman, "Dad is doing well." There was a hint of anxiety in his expression, "Didn't Dad tell you in the letter?"

Pro-diving thought about it again.Although Lin Qiubai's family letter only said some useless words, it never mentioned his health condition, which Lin Qian remembers, after all, he has a photographic memory.So, Lin Qiubai is reminding him, believe me.

"I want to know about the stories you told me," Linqian said.

Signal freezes.

Lin Qiubai's face showed joy, although it was only for a short moment, it made Lin Qian feel a little bit of cunning, "That is the Cthulhu Mythology, my child, and myths sometimes come from reality. Art comes from life and is higher than life. Do you understand, child!"

Having said that, Lin Qiubai suddenly raised his head slightly upwards, as if someone was talking to him behind the camera.The video call ends immediately.

"But, it doesn't look like he's your father? And he looks like you, and he can call out your baby name, isn't that right, Dahai? Hahaha."

"No. Even if you invite an actor, you will hire someone who looks like him, and they may have peeked at the letter. None of these can confirm that the person in the video is my dad. Your majesty, you said one person, why did you keep the last one? The hairstyle of the end of the century, but wearing the latest clothes?"

"Either it's an aesthetic quirk, or it's been dressed up by others. Look at Commander Jiang, every time he secretly wears my clothes, he looks like that."

Lin Qian suddenly seemed to understand something.Those clothes were not bought by Lin Qiubai himself, but someone else deliberately let him wear them, and his haircut was kept according to his own wishes.Jiang Chao said that Lin Qiubai is a very fashionable person, and being able to have such a hairstyle can only show that he has not been in contact with society for a long time!Maybe 25 years!

"But having said that, what kind of fairy tale did your father tell you? The Jade Emperor or Thor?"

"None of them. It's a very niche mythology. It doesn't belong to Nordic mythology, nor does it belong to Greek mythology or Eastern mythology. Because the style is dark and cold, it is not recognized by the public, and its spread is very narrow. My dad told me It is one of them, that is, the master in it, Cthulhu. He is a huge god living in the sea, similar in shape to an octopus, so powerful that he cannot compete, which is equivalent to the gods in the Olympus god system The status of Zeus, the god of the gods."

Jiang Xuanye gave the coat to Linqian, and he only wore a pink shirt, which was blown cold by the wind, and sniffled, "What kind of myth is so perverted, aren't the gods and goddesses all little fresh meat and fairies? If it grows into an octopus, can it still be watched? In the mythology of our great China, it can’t even get a mount when it grows up. At most, it can occupy the mountain as a king and become a fairy blocking the road. You have to eat the flesh of a Tang monk to live forever. The kind that is not old. Why does this sound a bit like Davy Jones in "Pirates of the Caribbean"?"

Lin Qian said, "Indeed, there are many legends in this world that are not social but have striking similarities. For example, the mermaid in Denmark and the shark in "Shan Hai Jing"."

"It's over, it's over, the picture is coming. You said that this night, there are octopus and sharks. I want to eat seafood all the time." Jiang Xuanye hugged Lin Qian who was steering the steering wheel. The handcart shook violently, "I want to eat seafood, you have to be responsible!"

Linqian was helpless, looked at his watch, and it was already past two o'clock, so he suggested, "I know there is a seafood market in Beidaying, with a full range of varieties, good quality, and reasonable prices. It should open in an hour or so." , shall we go and see?"

Jiang Xuanye's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

The author has something to say: soon, your attack will appear hahaha.It's four o'clock in the morning, and I'm going to buy seafood at Beidaying~
