404 No City Found

In the middle of the night, the storm subsided a bit, and the entire land was covered with snow, without any gullies. The raging fire had blackened the stones, and a group of people were sleeping around the fire, with snow slag on their beards and hair. It was slightly melted by the fire and drooped on the hair.

Zhao Zheng came back stepping on snow water, the fire melted the nearby snow, and there were puddles on the ground. Although he was very careful, his shoes were still wet.Kang Tu was not there when he returned, he walked along the crowd one by one, and then went outside to search again, the squinting blizzard made it hard to see clearly, and there was no one within the naked eye.

He walked back again, walked up to Yan Lingfei, kicked him, and said calmly, "Where did Kang Tu go?"

Yan Lingfei fell into a drowsy sleep and said, "What?"

Zhao Zheng knelt down and patted his face, saying, "Don't sleep."

Yan Lingfei woke up and sat up: "What's going on?"

"Kang Tu is gone," Zhao Zheng looked at him and said every word.

Yan Lingfei wiped his face, then stood up, and asked directly, "Where's Jiang Liang?"

"It's gone too." Zhao Zheng said.

Yan Lingfei: "..."

Zhao Zheng glanced at him, and Yan Lingfei trembled for no reason, and said, "I didn't know that this kind of thing would happen, why don't you take care of yourself."

Zhao Zheng ignored this sentence and said, "What can you do?"

"What can I do?" Yan Lingfei asked in surprise, "Don't you?"

Zhao Zheng closed his eyes, then opened them again: "Wake everyone up and find them for me."

Yan Lingfei comforted: "It's okay, there may not be danger."

Saying this is the same as not saying it, Yan Lingfei himself felt like farting, and shut his mouth obediently.

The strong wind howled and blew southward. I don't know how many winds blew south these days, and where they finally dissipated.

Everyone was woken up, looking for people all over the mountains and plains in the dark night, the dark sky seemed to be pressing on people's heads, and the dark crowd was making endless noise.

There were buzzing sounds in his ears. Among the buzzing sounds, there seemed to be a very regular sound of clocks and clocks. It was very soft, but Kang Tu still caught it. He felt very sleepy and couldn't move with his thoughts. Lifting his limbs, the sound kept ringing softly in his sleep, but it was not noisy. He quickly accepted this situation.

"Please take a deep breath...and let it out." A soft and rhythmic voice sounded in Kang Tu's ear.

Kang Tu felt that all his defenses were receding like the tide, he took a deep breath, as the person said.

"Relax your eyes and let your body float...think of your body lying in a bathtub, on a calm river, or floating in a blue still sky...breathing more and more easily...letting the mind and body This wonderful fairyland..."①

This sentence was repeated again and again, Kang Tu's limbs seemed to be floating in the clouds, swimming slightly, like a breeze or flowing water.

The voice said: "You can feel that you have a pair of hands of God descending, he will take all your pain out of your body, it will never bother you again, you feel those negative feelings disappear instantly ”②

Kang Tu suddenly opened his eyes without warning.

There was no one in front of him, and that person was very cautious.

Kang Tu sat up and looked around. A pain in the back of his neck started belatedly. He touched it, but there was no blood.

"I know your voice," Kang Tu said calmly, "Yao Ke, come out."

But the surrounding area was quiet, and Kang Tu couldn't hear the wind, so he judged that he might already be underground. Judging from the quality of the buildings here, no house could be so well soundproofed.

The man said, "You can't be hypnotized, who else knows about that?"

Does anyone know about this?Kang Tu recalled subconsciously, he seemed to have only told Zhao Zheng.But how does this person know?

In his dreams, he always felt that the voice was very familiar, and he felt inexplicably similar to Yao Ke, but now he was a little uncertain. He never stood up or refuted it. Maybe he deliberately wanted him to identify the wrong person.

Kang Tu asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry," said the voice again from the other side, as if he had installed speakers on all sides to avoid being pinpointed, "you'll be safe."

Kang Tu scanned the environment, and found that the whole space was very dark, as if to create a quiet atmosphere to assist hypnosis, only the place where he was, cast a dim and gentle light from above.

The man said, "Tell me, does anyone else know anything about you not being hypnotized."

Kang Tu frowned and didn't answer.

The man seemed to understand some micro-expressions, and immediately said: "Oh, of course, you are not single anymore, Zhao Zheng knows it, right?"

Kang Tu said, "Yao Ke, come out."

"Why did you guess it was him?" The man's voice was smiling, and it seemed a little distorted through the loudspeaker equipment, but it was still very magnetic. "Is Zhao Zheng treating you badly? Thinking about other men."

Kang Tu said, "Talk about your appeal, don't fix these useless things."

"I have no appeal," the man said, "I will chat with you now."

Kang Tu stood up and was about to leave, but the man asked again: "Have you ever thought that everyone in [-] can be hypnotized, why can't you be the only one?"

Kang Tu said coldly, "What's none of your business?"

"Don't be afraid," the man's voice was gentle and joking, "Why are you so nervous when you're nervous?"

Kang Tu frowned, and stood still, trying to calm himself down.He was hit hard suddenly, and when he woke up and found himself in such a place, he would inevitably lose his normal response and become a little flustered.

"Are you all right now?" the man asked.

Kang Tu didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you the murderer?"

"It's me." The man replied very happily, so happy that Kang Tu doubted the authenticity of his words again.This person has been disguising himself in a very clever way, which is absolutely natural and calm, and does not refute that he is not Yao Ke, and even after Kang Tu has already guessed the name, he behaves more and more like Yao Ke's tone, which can't help People began to doubt their own decisions again. No matter who he was, Kang Tu had already come to the conclusion in his heart that this person's psychological quality must be very strong.

The man took the initiative to cue the process and said, "You can interview me about my murder journey."

Kang Tu followed his words very cooperatively and asked: "Then what is your mental journey?"

"Well," said the man, "I can't tell you all. You can understand my difficulties, but I can tell you a little bit."

Kang Tu knew the book and said rationally: "Okay, I understand."

The man was silent for about three seconds, during which Kang Tu held his breath and concentrated.

"For work points," he said at last.

Kang Tu: "..."

The man said: "After thinking about it, I still can't tell you."

"Are you Jiang Liang?" Kang Tu doubted again at this time, "A member who has been following Shennong's team? Where have you been hiding all this time?"

The man laughed and said, "Ask me? How could I tell you?"

Kang Tu began to search casually. His night blindness has never been cured, and it has never been cured. Every time he goes on a mission, he makes up his mind to eat more carrots when he goes back, but he doesn’t bother to eat it every time. Obviously it doesn’t matter. He kept procrastinating about a trivial matter, and it ended up seriously affecting his life every time.

The man said again: "I advise you not to move around, it's very dangerous here."

"What kind of dangerous law?"

"Just because I don't kill you," the man said, "doesn't mean you won't die today. Someone here wants you dead."

This sentence was very useful, Kang Tu immediately stopped his movements, and immediately got goosebumps, with a creepy feeling.

Kang Tu: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Let's chat casually," the man said with a sigh of relief, as if he was still stretching, "don't bother to find me, I'm not here, let's wait, you can leave after a while."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for your boyfriend to rescue you."

Kang Tu really couldn't figure out this person's routine, he seemed to have no plan at all, and he did whatever he wanted, but this kind of person was the one Kang Tu couldn't control the most.

"With so much effort, you seem to be sure whether I will be hypnotized?" Kang Tu turned around quietly, glanced around and said, "Your brain is fine."

The man's voice came from behind again: "Wow, do you think this is easy? Zhao Zheng sees that you are too close, do you know how long I have been looking for this opportunity?"

"...Okay." Kang Tu turned around, "Then can you tell me what it means not to be hypnotized?"

"Okay," the man said, "but the truth is always cruel. I don't have tissues for you to wipe your nose."

"Also, I installed eleven speakers here, you can speak from anywhere you want, stop your boring little game."

Kang Tu was seen through, so he had no choice but to give up, sat back down again, and simply chatted with him: "You know me so well, are you spying on us?"

"No," said the man, "I'm just watching you."

"Why? How do you know I can't be hypnotized?"

"Guess, I didn't know at first, you can ask me carefully, I haven't decided whether to tell you yet, maybe you make me happy, I will tell you everything."

Kang Tu: "Then why are you happy?"

The man said boredly: "Think about it yourself, I don't know, people have to work hard to get something."

Kang Tu was very weak. After chatting for a long time, all his fists seemed to be hitting cotton, and he couldn't get out a word, feeling very tired.

The man said, "You gave up too quickly."

Kang Tu sat down and sorted out his thoughts, and said after a while of silence: "You are Yao Ke. After the Battle of Maling, you started to appear in front of me frequently, because of the fact that I couldn't be hypnotized during the Battle of Maling." It was reported by Qiongqi. This is the news that only you can get in touch with. After you found out, you started to test me, but at that time I was very close to Zhao Zheng, you dare not act rashly, and in [-], you can’t find Such an opportunity kidnapped me for hypnosis."

"It's the same now, dear," said the man, "it's not easy to kidnap, please respect my efforts, the first half is quite reliable, but the second half is far-fetched, it is more convenient for me to kidnap you at [-]. "

Kang Tu suddenly remembered something, and said, "You tried it, right?"

"That time in the library, the person outside was you."

"There should be another time later, when Shan Yihu went missing," Kang Tu thought more and more clearly, "You gave me a hint, you said you couldn't find Shan Yihu and asked me to send him a questionnaire, so I Realizing that he was missing, I should have gone to find Shanyihu by myself, and it was an accident that Zhao Zheng accompanied me, and I should have been alone for everything that day."

The man said: "It seems stupid of you to say that. At that time, the two of you were already ambiguous. Would I have thought that he would accompany you? This arrangement is very risky, but I don't mean to deny it, I just propose Reasonable doubt."

"But you obviously thought about what to do if I didn't act on my own," Kang Tu said, "so nothing happened in the dormitory in Shanyi Lake at that time, and Huayu was safe and sound."

As if considering the feasibility of this long-planned kidnapping, the two began to discuss the possibility that he was Yao Ke.

The man said, "You're pretty smart."

Kang Tu couldn't take this sentence as a compliment, because he always felt that there were many things behind it that he didn't know, and even what he said just now might not be true.

The man suddenly said: "But have you ever thought that what you said just now, except for the part about kidnapping later, is also applicable to Zhao Zheng?"

Kang Tu immediately felt as if he had been slapped in the face.
