When the vital sign detector in Ajer's body failed, he was drunk and lying on the floor like a dead pig. He heard a long beep from the watch in a daze, and he didn't have any extra thoughts in his heart. Bo Bo, even sneered, said to himself, look, that lunatic who didn't want to die finally paid for his own life, it's really satisfying.

But when he sobered up the next day, the long sound was like a dream, dulling his entire five senses and emotions.He changed his clothes to train recruits as usual, drank with the officers as usual, and took a lunch break in the office as usual, but suddenly a large area was empty somewhere, under the skin that the sun couldn't reach, those dull negative emotions started from the cracks , spreading like a dark forest growing backwards.He hasn't taken off the watch so far, and occasionally he will subconsciously raise his hand to look at it. The pointer that symbolizes the heartbeat no longer moves, and he will freeze in place for a long time, and his head will start to have a dull pain like a heavy blow.

It's just a lunatic I've known for years.he thinks.

Although they have known each other since the boot camp, and even had an inexplicable relationship after a certain drunkenness, he has always considered himself a calm bystander, watching the scars on this madman grow more and more year after year, and the things he does are getting more and more serious. He was getting more and more out of line, he never interfered with him at all, he never even contacted him, but he never refused his request.

Ajel's unexpected death dealt him a painful blow far beyond his expectations.

For three weeks after the watch stopped, he was in a trance, with one foot in reality and the other in illusion, always feeling that that annoying thing was still following him, saluting him.He hates his insatiable greed, and his outrageous behavior that does not conform to his code of conduct, but every time he sees him, he feels extremely at ease.

In the fourth week, he finally left the base and came to the spot that made his watch stop.

There were no traces left in that old church, no blood stains or fingerprints, and even the dilapidated dust that should have been swept away.He clearly knew what happened here, but that person was so cautious that he didn't even leave him any clues.

The letters on the cross were already faded, and the sunlight refracted on the smooth metal surface burned his eyes.

He wiped the corners of his eyes, remembered what the young man had said to him just now, and laughed mockingly.It's ridiculous that he has known that lunatic for more than twenty years, but he has never understood his sad and dark feelings.He knew that Ajer was a heinous villain, a lunatic who disregarded life and death and acted recklessly, and he was clearly the lunatic among lunatics, crazy and stupid, yet he still wanted to come here to uphold justice for that lunatic. What can be made up?

He staggered up from the grass, and sat at the door of the church, which was eerily shady even at noon.A friend called to ask him when he would return to the base. He was missing for today's military performance. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'll be back in the afternoon. Let's start the performance first."

The friend hung up the phone, and he stared at the screen of the phone. Suddenly, an email from an unfamiliar account came in.

His heart skipped a beat, for some reason, staring at the "hey" email name, he seemed to have a premonition, and even his breathing tightened involuntarily.

Included in the email was a video taken one early morning four weeks ago.

This time made his heart thump, he opened it with trembling fingers, and the desolate church behind him appeared on the screen, under the dim streetlights, something inhuman was quickly jumping up like a black shadow went inside.

In less than a second, the picture ended here, the screen became pitch black, but the video did not end.

He was short of breath, his masseter muscles tensed, and then he heard a familiar scream.

The noon sun in early autumn shone on him, and he held his phone tightly, as if he was in an icehouse in the middle of winter.

-

"Hello? Ah, it's Uncle Isaac. Yes, I'm at home now."

Nuo Disciplinary Committee Yazheng waited beside the telephone, his dark green eyes fixed on Eli, who was talking to the black box again, his tail patted the ground in dissatisfaction, and even tried several times He poked his head over and listened to the strange voice coming from the microphone.Eli gave it a warning look, and made a silent movement. Noah flapped his wings twice, and his entire front body lay on the table. He looked at Eli holding the microphone resentfully, and turned around. Turn your back on it.

"I felt pretty good after taking the medicine last time, and I didn't have the feeling of rejection the previous few times... Well, there is nothing abnormal about the skin, just like what Dad said before."

Isaac seemed to be in a relatively noisy place, his voice was very soft, and he sounded very tired. Eli had to put his whole ear on the microphone, a little worried, and couldn't help softening his tone, and asked: " Uncle, are you all right?"

There was a brief silence on the phone, and Eli heard the voice of the waiter serving food, which seemed to be in a restaurant.He was a little surprised, because in his impression, Uncle Isaac never ate fast food, and even if he worked until the early hours of the morning, he would rather cook some simple meals by himself.

"Xiaoyi, I just came back from the military region." Isaac said hoarsely.

Eli let out an "ah" and frowned sadly: "How is your test product...?"

Isaac smiled wearily, but didn't answer. Eli couldn't bear it, and wanted to comfort him again, he said in a low voice: "I'm in a city not far from you now, come and have a meal with me , I’m going back to the lab tonight.”

Eli subconsciously glanced at Noah, who was staring at Baba. It was an understandable request, but he hesitated for a few seconds.But soon, he felt guilty. Uncle Isaac didn't meet him several times a year, and he had healed Noah's injuries. He really had no reason to refuse such a request.

"Okay, I'll be right over," Eli said, "Send me your current address, I'll be there in about an hour, wait for me."

Isaac thanked him, and Eli smiled and said no, hung up the phone, and turned to look at Noah.

Seeing that he hung up the phone, Noah straightened up happily, with the cat teaser with its tail curled up on one side, dangling in front of Eli like a baby, asking him to continue playing with him.Eli showed a kind smile to it, Noah's tail stopped, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Baby, I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back before dinner." Eli said in her kindest voice.

Noah: "!!!"

It protested sharply and rushed over to grab Eli's waist. Eli, who was already familiar with its routine, quickly moved away and quickly locked the door, leaving Noah scratching at the door in the attic, and then took the opportunity Packed up her things, and before leaving, she did not forget to go to the door of the attic and told it: "Remember to feed Alice, don't make trouble, or I will let you eat raw meat tonight!"

Noah's tail slapped the door, trying to keep his partner with a sincere and affectionate "woo woo woo" or convince him to take him with him, but Eli always loved its beautiful voice. Unmoved, he entered the parking lot before Noah pried the door open and drove to the city.

Today's weather looks very strange. It was sunny in the morning, but now it has turned into a gray area. The wind blows up the gravel on the ground, and occasionally hits the car doors and windows.Eli was a little worried about Isaac's condition, so he drove the car very fast, and arrived at the agreed place in the city in less than 10 minutes.

Isaac had already eaten and was sitting in the coffee shop near the street. He was wearing more formal clothes and was looking at something with his glasses on his tablet.

"Uncle Isaac."

Eli sat down across from him.

Isaac looked up, and Eli saw the picture on his tablet stay on top of the picture of the dinosaur, which looked like some kind of tyrannosaur, and it looked different from the few tyrannosaurs he knew. , Before I could take a closer look, Isaac turned off the screen.

Eli knew that these things involved confidentiality, so he didn't ask any more questions. He ordered a cup of coffee and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in a formal suit for a long time. From the outside, I thought it was a model sitting on the seat. Your laboratory Didn’t any of the female doctors here throw themselves into your arms?”

Isaac smiled lowly, took off his glasses, and vigorously rubbed Eli's fluffy and soft hair, then relaxed and leaned into the seat, looking at Eli's mature face year by year, with a smile on his lips Laughed, but didn't speak.

Eli touched his face: "What's wrong?"

"It seems like every time I see you, you grow up a little," Isaac said.

Eli cut a small piece from the cake he had ordered, tasted it, and it was not bad.

"Really? Uncle, you always feel that nothing has changed."

Isaac smiled, and he didn't seem very emotional. He turned his head and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street outside, as if he was thinking about something.

"Do you know how your father and I met?" Isaac said.

Eli didn't expect him to bring this up suddenly, so he froze for a while, and thought about it seriously, and found that neither his father nor his uncle mentioned the past when they met. Since he was sensible, he and his father have been a natural old He never asked about the friendship mode.

"Because it's a colleague?"

Isaac shook his head, with a look of nostalgia on his face, but his mood was not very clear.He said: "The first time I saw your father, he was a little boy, and he followed your grandfather. Your grandfather saved me and brought me into human society, but your father has always been afraid I, and secretly call me a monster, have been getting along for more than half a year before getting better."

Eli looked at him in bewilderment.

He has never heard Uncle Isaac talk about these things. Since he was a child, Isaac in his impression exists as a smart, calm, and wise image. He is a professor at a prestigious school at t0p1 and a senior researcher at the Mystery Research Institute. His hair is always meticulous. , Whenever I have spare time, I will hold a book.He always thought that Isaac was born in a scholarly family, so why did he say "Bring it to human society?"

Coffee is here.

"Did you grow up with my grandpa?"

Isaac stretched out his hand, straightened Eli's unturned collar, and then added sugar to his coffee: "Well, it's a long, long story, I don't know why, maybe I'm old, Recently, I have become more and more nostalgic. When I went to the military area today and saw my experimental product, I always felt as if I had seen it somewhere, although I obviously created it."

Eli said: "It's okay, Uncle Isaac, I'm glad you can tell me this, I hope you can be happier."

Isaac laughed, cut a small piece of cake from the place where Eli had cut it, and handed it to him, stopping the conversation.He looked at Eli eating the cake seriously, and couldn't help but think of how he saw Eli again after eight years. The milk doll who was eating his fingers grew into a young boy in the blink of an eye, and the lumps on his skin symbolized terminal illnesses. His green spots glowed in the sun, holding a dinosaur model in his arms, looking at him with wide and clear eyes, and asked him, "Who are you?"

"Look, it's raining," Eli said.

Isaac didn't turn his head to look, but looked at Eli's increasingly handsome face, and said with some regret: "It's still sunny tomorrow morning."

Eli sighed, the rain outside was not heavy, it was the unique drizzle in autumn.For some reason, he always had a feeling of restlessness.
