45. Hotline
The red telephone line hung in the air and kept shaking, and inexplicably, it swelled and expanded in front of Shen Yun's eyes, from a curled line pipe with a width of less than three millimeters, to a pitch-black tunnel. Standing at the mouth of the tunnel and looking in, the black seems to show a regular sense of layering, and the most intense part of the color is like the edge of the arc, rotating in a circle to extend to the depth, the farther the arc becomes, until it becomes a small dot like thick ink.
The circle of arcs is the part of the telephone line that curls, and the darkness is the imaginary filling between the arcs.
Is he really standing at the other end of the tunnel? That hip-hop teenager with a crooked NY baseball cap and lazily like a dozing corgi?
Shen Yun was instantly stunned by the word "little sister", she was stiff and couldn't move, and she really couldn't lift her feet to walk into the tunnel in the illusion. Maybe she was too tired and fell asleep on the director's desk? In fact, all this is just a strange dream, and you will wake up after passing through the tunnel, and there is no one at all?
"Speak! You...... What's wrong? The teasing element of that voice was gone, and it gave people an indescribable sense of anxiety.
"I ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the imaginary tunnel was disillusioned like a soap bubble, and Shen Yun found himself still standing in the cold broadcast booth with tempered glass walls erected on all sides, holding the microphone with both hands. She thought she should ask the person over there, "Who are you", but she couldn't ask knowingly, and she couldn't convince herself that the person was really him.
"Forget it, I'll tell you, I know you're listening. When we used to be together, didn't we always say you listen? "The man on that end suggested thoughtfully.
"Nope! I say! Shen Yun suddenly shouted, and he was startled by himself.
There was silence on the other end.
"You madman! What kind of neurosis do you have to play jumping river? Are you a playboy tired of everything in the world and need to seek new thrills? Do you think people can really come back to life after they die? I tell you it can't be! When pigs fly! Forget about your crazy 11-dimensional research, you can't make it! She wept and roared, enjoying the thrill of turning from darkness to light when her clogged mind was suddenly unblocked.
Qu Zhaodian quietly let her vent, even if she finally stopped after bombing all the time, she didn't answer immediately.
"You...... You speak! Are you still there? ”
Shen Yun's heart was gripped by fear again, for fear that he would scare the other party away because of the uncontrollable accusation - Qu Zhaodi disappeared without a trace again.
But he spoke, and said, "The scarab that died will come back to life." ”
Winter seemed to have fallen in Beijing in early summer in an instant, and Shen Yun shivered fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense. Where the hell are you now? I think...... I want to see you. ”
"Hahaha, in the last sentence, removing the word 'see' is what you really want to say, right?" The nature of the scoundrel was exposed again, but Shen Yun could only wipe his eyes, unable to ridicule each other like in the past.
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm not kidding. I owe you a lot of sorry, and if I can make you laugh when I'm done, I'm willing to talk about tomorrow morning. But I'm not in a position to joke with you, I know. "He really wasn't joking anymore.
Shen Yun had regained his composure, and couldn't bear his apology, and whispered: "As long as you live well, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame you?" There are many ways to get in touch, so why do you have to use the hotline in Taiwan? With your ability, even if you don't ask me directly, you already know my mobile phone number, right? ”
The last sentence is a bit sarcastic.
Qu Zhaodi laughed twice, laughing from the heart. But soon his voice became serious, the same as it had been on the bell tower of the Hoover Memorial that night.
"The hotline is not because I am deliberately looking for some weird alternative way to approach you, but to prevent our calls from being monitored. The technique of converting sound into pulsed currents and transmitting them to each other was so old for them that they didn't bother to pay attention to it, so they made a loophole for me. ”
"They? Which of them? And why are you being spied on? What have you been doing all these years? How could you get into such trouble! Shen Yun's heart ached faintly, she was worried about Qu Zhaodi's safety, but she could only express it in the form of reproach. For some reason, she linked the other party with the dead Shen Yin, she was afraid that he would also go on the wrong path and never look back.
It's a bad tone again: "It's not, the young lady thought I was a scum and didn't cover me, but as a result, I went astray and offended the underworld." How serious do you say the consequences are! ”
The feeling of uneasiness fulfilled? Fear opened in Shen Yun's heart like ink dripping into clear water, but what she actually realized was that Qu Zhaodi's background was not simple, not only that, but he also had a big secret hidden in him, and she had no idea how big this secret was. The largest in the tangible world is the universe, could it be that his series of abnormal actions are really related to the universe? And he is recognized as the future successor of Qu Group, does it mean that everything he is going through has an ineffable relationship with Quyang Energy?
Qu Zhaodi realized that there was not a lot of time to talk nonsense, Shen Yun didn't reply, he immediately got back to business, "We can't talk for too long, otherwise it's still not safe." Although I can't reveal where I am, I can tell you where you should go. ”
"I ...... Where should I go? Shen Yun repeated confusedly. The current life has no attachment to her, but if you want to leave in a hurry, it is still a little difficult to accept.
"You leave as soon as possible and go to Beijing West Railway Station to take the earliest train to Daliangshan. When you arrive at Xichang Station, someone from the army will come to pick you up. Remember, as long as the watch your father gave you is still in your hand, try not to fly on any commercial airliner. It's no longer than it was a few years ago, and those who think it's time to act, I'm afraid they're going to create more disasters. ”
The brain, which was finally sorted out, became chaotic again. The name of Daliang Mountain is so harsh, like a sharp, annoying noise made by metal rubbing.
Shen Yun remembered that on the afternoon of his fifteenth birthday, when Shen Yunhong received a call from the military headquarters, he clearly said the three words "Daliang Mountain", and soon after, the trajectory of his life ended there forever.
Why inexplicably, Qu Zhaodi asked himself to go to Daliang Mountain? Was it because of my father's death or something else? Why did the pale and colorless life suddenly become a colorful mystery, and a blood-red question mark hung high above the head?
There was a lot of turmoil in her mind, and Shen Yun wanted to ask, "Is it possible to see you when I go to Daliang Mountain", but her throat was locked tightly, and she seemed to have forgotten how to speak.
