Chapter 156: An Absurd Story
"I want to... Take a look at it. β
I wasn't sure about it, but I mustered up courage.
It was as if he had fallen into a labyrinth, carefully exploring the dark passages forward.
Luo Qiu looked at him and was silent for a moment...... This gaze gave Mo Mo a feeling of facing the sea - when he was in Lujia Village, he looked at the sea, the tide ebbed and flowed, the sun rose and the moon set, it seemed to be this feeling.
"Sure enough... Isn't it okay?" said Momer, with some disappointment.
Luo Qiu shook his head, "Mr. Momo, do you think what you see is true?" β
Mo Mo was stunned in his heart, for ordinary people, the most real thing is what he saw with his own eyes...... But even if you see it with your own eyes, there will be times when you are blinded...... But you often can't tell the difference.
Because you are always in the truth, or you don't know whether it is true or false.
"There is no rush to make this decision. Luo Qiu looked at Mo Mo, with a thin smile on his face, this thinness, like a mist attached to the full moon, "How about listening to a story first?"
Mo Mo nodded, "Senior, please speak." β
"It's actually a very interesting little short film. Luo Qiu changed his sitting position, put his hands on the table, put his palms together, leaned forward slightly, and began the story, "Suddenly one day, a scientist invented a miracle cream. The story begins with a press conference. At this time, there was a woman on the stage with a scar on her face. After applying the cream, she was back to her original appearance in just a few minutes. β
Mo Mo was stunned, but did not interrupt, but listened carefully.
"In fact, not only that, but the magic of this ointment is as follows. For example, it can make a severed limb grow back. And it can also be taken internally, and people who are dying will come back to life after eating it. It can also be injected, and children with intellectual disabilities can become smart in an instant after being injected. β
"Senior... It's not a joke, is it?, Cream?" Momo couldn't help but frown.
Luo Qiu didn't care, and said to himself: "The development of the cream is still ongoing, and more functions have been developed. For example, it can turn deserts into fertile fields, waste land into forests, it can rejuvenate and rejuvenate wealth, it can make scrapped machines brand new or even upgraded. Since it was established, environmental problems began to be solved, peace was ushered in in war-torn countries, and disease and hunger became a thing of the past. In the end, the scientist even solved the problem of the production of the cream...... It becomes inexhaustible and multiplies indefinitely. β
Mo Mo opened his mouth, thinking to himself that this senior was definitely not entertaining himself...... This is still a cream, why don't you say it's a wish machine?
Luo Qiu took a sip of water and moistened his throat, and then said: "People's lives are beginning to be inseparable from this cream. But at this time, the state and the chaebol began to sit still. Because of the advent of this cream, the aggressive military campaign could not continue, so that all goods produced online had to be stopped, the stock price began to plummet, and everything was about to collapse the economy. β
Mo Mo was stunned and frowned.
"Suddenly, one day, there was a report on the news that the raw material of this miracle cream was made from dead babies, and a lot of immoral materials were added to it. Since then, similar reports have begun to dominate all news channels. Suddenly, it became clear that almost all that could be seen was negative press about the cream. Some people claim that they were replaced with an incurable disease shortly after using it, and some people say that this cream is actually a virus. There are countries that have fought over this cream and have broken out into war. The interesting thing came that the state began to ban the sale of this cream, all the vendors who sold it were arrested, and all the factories that produced the cream were dismantled. All the creams on the market were destroyed. Once the hairstyle is hidden, it is illegal...... People began to look at this cream from being sought after to being afraid of it. β
"Senior, this ......" Mo Mo listened to this absurd story in amazement.
But the story continues.
Luo Qiu's voice seemed so calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water that had lost its spring and could only wait to dry up, "The scientist was later arrested, he was convicted, and he could not set foot in the laboratory again for the rest of his life. The world is starting to go back to the way it was. War and famine have returned to some countries, and deserts and wastelands have reappeared. People are no longer rich, the rich are still the same as before, and the smart people have changed back to their old ways...... In the case of amputation, only a prosthetic limb can be fitted. β
"At the end of the story, we are back on the stage of the press conference. It's just a different product. A new cream began to hit the market. This cream is not a miracle cream, it doesn't have so many messy features, it can't bring the dead back to life, it can't make people smart. It has only one function, which is to repair the scars on the face...... However, it needs to be used continuously, one course of treatment, two courses of treatment, one month, two months, and it can only be changed slowly...... But it worked, all the launches were very successful and people started to follow it. β
"Story...... Finish. β
This story had a great impact on Momo, and countless chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind...... He even turned pale, and the polished Dao Heart that was getting better seemed to be about to be shattered in an instant.
His voice trembled, "Senior...... This kind of cream is... Is that the truth?"
Luo Qiu said indifferently: "It's just a story. β
"Senior, I'm ......"
"There's no need to rush to make a choice. Luo Qiu waved his hand and let the darkness around him reced.
Everything went back to the way it was before, and Miss Maid and Nero were still around, and Nero was learning from Miss Maid's low eyebrows, but instead of reaching out and scratching the itchy part of her back, she didn't yawn.
Under Momo's complicated gaze, Luo Qiu stood up, "If you want to come, you can always come, and no one can stop you." But I hope that the next time you come back, you already know what you want to buy. β
Momo just sits, but feels like everything is so far away from himβhe is obviously just sitting, but the chair seems to move, infinitely closing the distance between him and Lochiu, and from the maid and Nero.
He began to lose sight of them, and he was pulled far away, and all around him turned into endless darkness.
Mo Mo suddenly opened his eyes, and he was surrounded by a white expanse, and he returned to the thick fog, near Wolong Villa.
......
......
During the day, Ren Ziling was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
I drank a lot last night, but when I met Leng Feng again, I happily drank some more, so after being woken up, Ren Ziling felt an unbearable headache, her stomach was like a river overturning the sea, and her mouth was even more dry.
I want to die......
Ren Ziling opened the door while grabbing her feather-like hair, and when she saw that it was a pear, she yawned and leaned against the door frame, "If you don't give me a suitable reason, I'll stew you with rock sugar." β
"Hey, it's worthy of being the goddess of our editorial department! It's so good-looking without makeup!!" Pear's eyes flashed with a look of survival.
"I heard that lotus seeds and rock sugar pears are more compatible?" Ren Ziling pinched the pear's cheek.
"No, Sister Ren, look outside!!"
"Outside?" Ren Ziling was stunned.
She frowned and walked to the window, and opened the curtains, only to see that it was already white outside, and the whole town had been completely shrouded in thick fog at some point.
At this time, Lizi came out of the door wall and turned on the room light, but the room was still not bright, "Look, the power is out, and the mobile phone has no signal." We really got a taste of life in the disaster area. β
Ren Ziling quickly brushed back her messy hair with her fingers, and said in surprise: "What's the matter, didn't you say that it would take two or three days for the dense fog to spread here? Why did it spread here overnight?"
Lizi shook her head and thought for a while, "Maybe these dense fogs have taken drugs and swelled all of a sudden?"
Ren Ziling glanced at her, then frowned, "Akiko?"
"She's packing. Pear said quickly, "Didn't you say that Major Leng Feng was going to find someone to see us off this morning?" so she started packing her bags early in the morning...... But like this, do we have to leave on foot? No, are Major Leng Feng's people still back? It's like this, I'm afraid it's very chaotic outside, can't we take care of it?"
Ren Ziling shook her head and said, "No, what Leng Feng said won't count...... Don't be lazy, pack your things clean, we'll meet downstairs in ten minutes!"
......
This is a woman who can go out five minutes after waking up in the morning β so ten minutes is more than enough.
When Riko and Akiko came to the first floor of the hotel with their luggage, Ren Ziling had already arrived early, and she was smoking a cigarette, and she was looking at the street outside through the glass window.
The lobby of this hotel was very quiet at this time, not even a waiter could see it, and it was dim all around, Ren Ziling directly lit some scented candles on the table.
Day and night, that's probably what it feels like at this time.
At that moment, the door of the hotel was abruptly opened, and a group of soldiers trotted in. They were in two rows side by side, with a road flowing out of the middle.
At this time, Leng Feng was wearing a military uniform and walked in quickly with a calm face.
Seeing that it was a group of soldiers coming in, Akiko subconsciously tensed up...... Leng Feng quickly walked in front of Ren Ziling.
"Okay, Erlengzi, have they all started to use pomp and circumstance to press me?" Ren Ziling frowned and said: "I said that I would leave, I will definitely go, you don't have to be so scary, right?"
Leng Feng seemed to be relieved when he saw that Ren Ziling was still here, he waved his hand and asked Ren Ziling to sit down, then he turned to look at the soldiers behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Search!"
I saw two rows of soldiers, pouring into the various rooms of the hotel at this time.
It was a long time before the group returned.
"Report sir, I didn't find out!"
Leng Feng nodded, "I know, you go out first and stay outside." β
When the soldiers walked out of the door, Ren Ziling knew that something was wrong, and frowned at this time: "Leng Feng, did something happen?"
"I'm not sure that this town is going to be very dangerous from now on. Leng Feng said with a straight face at this time: "I can't reveal too much specifics, but the original plan to send you away will be shelved for the time being." I'll send you to where we're stationed now for protection. β
"Can't we get out of here?" asked Akiko, who spoke, in surprise at this point...... But he seemed to feel that his question was very inappropriate, so he pursed his mouth in a panic.
Probably seeing that Akiko was Ren Ziling's companion, Leng Feng was not angry at this time, "It depends." If possible, I'll get you out of here as soon as possible. In fact, it would be even more dangerous to evacuate now. β
Ren Ziling pulled Leng Feng aside and asked in a low voice, "Second stunned, what happened?" I can carry it clearly, I still have a number of things that can be written and what things cannot be written...... But I don't like ambiguity. β
Leng Feng hesitated for a moment, and then pulled Ren Ziling a few steps away before he said, "There is something here that is starting to attack people." By the morning, we had already found a large number of corpses. Their blood was drained, and their bodies were like ice cubes. β
"What?!"
Leng Feng nodded, "This thick fog suddenly intensified, just in the early morning. It turned out that the first group of escorts to leave was trapped, but by the time our men arrived, they were almost dead. Only one barely survived, but he had gone mad, and he just said that he had seen a man-eating monster. β
"Is there really a monster?" Ren Ziling bit her thumb nail in shock - Leng Feng is the type who doesn't joke, it's just too unbelievable.
"We can't be sure of something, we can only say something. Leng Feng said with a solemn expression: "Actually, we found out something last night...... I left in a hurry last night because I received a report. In the back alley of the bar where you were drinking, several bodies were found. Their deaths are almost identical to those of the soldiers and civilians of our first evacuation team. β
"From early morning until now...... Are the bodies still being found?" Ren Ziling asked uncertainly at this time.
Leng Feng took a deep breath and nodded, "There are discoveries one after another...... Now, even we don't dare to act indiscriminately, let alone leave at will. β
Ren Ziling frowned, looked at Leng Feng and said, "You just brought a team of people here...... Nothing else?"
"The soldiers of the army are all in the town to lead people, before I arrived here, I have rescued dozens of people here, what do you think?"
"That's fine. Ren Ziling nodded, "I can do whatever it should be, I'll go back to your station with you now." β
......
Akiko didn't look at the two of them, but she tried hard to hear something...... The pear glanced at it, but it didn't break.
She still ate the snacks from the counter of other people's hotels as if she had no heart or lungs, but she also listened to the conversation between Ren Ziling and Leng Feng word for word.
What's the situation...... Didn't that drug-addicted guy be slapped to death by Wang Hu?8)
