Kudo

The weather was very hot, Liang Wan came out of the bathroom with wet hair, wearing only a sports vest and shorts, his slender and exquisite curves could be seen at a glance.While wiping her hair with a towel, she habitually glanced at the window——

Tsk, that pervert is still there.

The "pervert" was in the room opposite her, facing the window, with an unusually hunched figure, slumped shoulders, and his whole body was tightly wrapped in black clothes, even wearing a mask on his face.

Liang Wan pointed his middle finger at the window, and then pulled the curtains shut abruptly.

The scene returns to the sea of ​​sand.

Liang Wan walked out of the room with the phone, and continued to grope forward in the dark corridor.The phone didn't ring again.

Falk!Whoever it was, that contemptuous tone was very repulsive.He thought he was Qian Ao?Said arrogantly on the side of the road, "Hey, come to eat"?Fuck you.

This energy supported Liang Wan to walk forward for a long time, until she came to a turning, facing two forked roads, she chose to stop and rest for a while.

In fact, the black glasses didn't lie to her completely. The road was indeed safe and clean. It was made of cement. There were no bugs or snakes. Except for the darkness, she had no obstacles from the outside world.

However, the sleepiness and fatigue inside her body were constantly launching an offensive, completely unstoppable.Liang Wan felt that he had a fever again, the breath from his nose was very hot, and his upper lip was obviously burning.She leaned against the wall and hugged her backpack tightly, trying to keep herself as warm as possible, and at the same time trying not to let herself fall asleep-if she fell asleep at this time, something might happen.

But her confused mind has no extra time to think, and every cell in her body is clamoring for dormancy.Liang Wan didn't want to admit that she was a weak old woman, but she had indeed lost the youthful vitality of a young girl.Usually, even if she stayed up one more night, she would catch a slight cold the next day, let alone force herself to take risks in such a ghostly place.

A hand rests on her shoulder.

Shocked, she woke up suddenly with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

She didn't dare to open her eyes until the hand began to pick at her clothes.

I rely on!Now Liang Wan was angry, Godzilla possessed him instantly, grabbed the arm suddenly, and stepped forward with a powerful elbow.It's a pity that she didn't hit it, and she missed it, fell to the ground, and let out a painful groan.

My head was even more dizzy, and my whole body was burning hot.

The man approached again.This time Liang Wan really didn't have the strength to resist, she let her clothes be pulled by the opponent, her back felt cold, and she was exposed to the air.

Damn, old lady's chastity.Liang Wan thought drowsily.No matter how many backers Wu Xie has behind you, if my old lady is ordered to go out, she will definitely find someone to take your turn a hundred times.

In the end nothing happened.When she woke up again, although she was still dizzy, her body temperature had dropped a lot.She found herself still leaning against the wall, her clothes still in good shape.The only bad thing is that there is a strange face in front of her.

What a strange face, why only one pair of eyes!Liang Wan was shocked, and then found that the other party had covered his face with a black cloth, and he couldn't see clearly in the dim environment, so he only had one pair of eyes.Not only that, the person in front of him is covered in black cloth, a bit like a ninja in Japanese comics.It's a pity that the figure is too weird, the place where the shoulders should have been completely collapsed, it is simply a hanged ghost.

"You're awake." The other party's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

Liang Wan cautiously "hmm", this guarded posture made the man laugh strangely,

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you."

"Who are you?" Liang Wan thought for a while and felt that this question was very important.

"You don't need to know," said the man, "even I don't know."

"Have you lost your memory?" Liang Wan asked tentatively, "If you don't tell me, what should I call you?"

"My surname is Zhang." The man said, hesitated for a moment, and added indistinctly: "But it's not that Zhang."

I don't care if you are Zhang Zhang or Li Zao Zhang. Seeing your shoulders collapse like that, you might as well call yourself Zhang Tumbled.Liang Wan thought in his heart.

"I'm going to take you out," Zhang Tata said, "You've already been out of the game, you shouldn't be involved."

From Liang Wan's point of view, those long underground corridors seemed endless, but under the leadership of Zhang Tate, they miraculously passed a pool to Haizili above the sand sea.Immediately afterwards, as if he had calculated it, Haizi started to move, leading them to the edge entrance of the desert.

The two parted ways.

Scenario playback ends, now continue with normal timeline.

Is this also part of Wu Xie's plan?Maybe not.Liang Wan thought in his heart.She hung up that phone call, which meant that she must have ruined a certain step of the plan, and everything in front of her was likely to be unknown factors outside of Wu Xie's plan.For example, Wu Xie might not have expected the unexpected appearance of Zhang Tate.

Liang Wan has been in Beijing, but did not go home. The apartment building where she originally lived caught fire after she left.After taking the compensation from the insurance company, she temporarily rented another single apartment, but when the curtains were opened the next day, Zhang Tate was at the window of the room opposite her, looking at her with deep eyes.

Liang Wan was an idiot on the spot.One month later, she did not continue to pay the rent and moved to a new place, but the result was still the same. Zhang Tate's surveillance of her can only be described as "blatant".

Although Liang Wan is occasionally an idiot, he is definitely not an idiot.She recalled what happened when she was under the sea of ​​sand, and guessed that the other party's strange behavior might be related to the tattoo on her back.She once wanted to ask, but Zhang Tate always kept a close distance from her and never said a word.

He was vaguely visible, he thought he was a Persian cat?Liang Wan turned on the hair dryer indignantly, and the powerful roar overwhelmed her muttering.

Drying her hair, turning on the TV, just in time for the news that the college entrance examination ended perfectly, she thought of Li Cu's gang of brats.Are they still in the sea of ​​sand, or have they gone back to class obediently?

Ding-dong-

doorbell.

Liang Wan couldn't imagine who would come to her.

It ended with a sound, and after half a second, it sounded again.

Ding-dong-

There should be a very patient person outside the door.Liang Wan stood up hesitantly, walked lightly, and quietly laid down on Maoyan.

***

Su Wan put down his pen and let out a long sigh.Wu Xie and Fatty went out to shovel snow again, leaving him to copy scriptures in the temple alone, with the supervision of the Shapidui commissioner.He is copying the fifth book now.

If this continues, his handwriting will definitely get better and better, and he can consider entering the Calligraphy Association.At that time, when others saw his father, they would say, "Oh, isn't this Su Wanda's calligrapher father?"Instead of joking after seeing him: Young master of the Su family, how is your father doing recently?

The scripture with the note in it is gone, but it doesn't matter, the content is very easy to remember.The draft on paper is not a straightforward record, but a variety of block diagrams, annotations, and arrows. Obviously, the recorder is thinking about something. The basis of this thinking seems to be a story about snakes.

In the kingdom of snakes in the east there is a ban that no snake should touch the warm stone in the heart of the kingdom, the only rebel has disappeared and is forgotten forever.So no one knows, in fact, it has not disappeared, it has just become another invisible thing, passing by the original world, and finally died alone.In the end the kingdom of snakes still exists, and so does the stone.And the snakes have a strange new rule: none of the snakes can see the light.

The story ends here, like a fairy tale.Su Wan sighed.The kingdom of snakes should be extinct in the end.

There seems to be an inevitable connection between the "rules" and the existence of the kingdom: the "rules" keep the kingdom alive for a long time, and at the same time, they become more and more harsh and harmful, and finally kill the kingdom completely.

It's not that no snakes dared to touch that stone, it's just that they all disappeared.The rebels escaped from the "rules", but entered eternal loneliness and isolation, and were forced to keep the secrets of the rules, and only those who obeyed could survive.

It was just a story, and it didn't contain much horror, but it made Su Wan feel chills in his heart.What would happen if a snake were regarded as a human being?There is a mysterious hand that hangs over our heads and presses down inch by inch. We have to bow down to it and strive for temporary survival in narrower and narrower cracks.One day, our entire army will be wiped out.

Is our destiny being manipulated?Who are these snakes?Where did that hand come from?

But it wasn't these things that worried him the most.

Between the various icons and arrows, there are some scribbled handwriting, scattered and unclear, and next to it is an unfinished sketch.Although this sketch is only one-third finished, the object to be expressed is already very clear. It is a snake. The finished part is a huge snake head. The eyes are staring like two lanterns, and the inverted pupils are very realistic. .The snake opened its big black mouth, with saliva sticking between its sharp teeth, its neck opened like a cobra, and its scales formed a strange pattern.

Su Wan wasn't sure if it was his own illusion, but the pattern really looked like a human face, and he was very familiar with this face.

Li Cu's face.

***

Li Cu doesn't think he is weak.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, exactly the age of the second year of middle school, and happened to be involved in a mysterious and seemingly powerful plan, and received unparalleled attention from the organization - so if you don't have any awareness of being "theone" , then he is a complete stick.

So after hearing Xie Yuchen's words, Li Cu was a little dissatisfied: "If you don't intend to trust me, I can choose not to cooperate."

The black glasses looked at him and smiled, not knowing what it meant.Li Cu has always suspected that this person has a facial nerve problem.

"You have to at least tell me, more and more people are coming here, more and more frequently, what will happen?" Li Cuo asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the time agreed with Wu Xie is getting closer and closer. Just like in the desert, we need these people to set up obstacles. The more people there are, the harder it is for the Wang family to move." Xie Yuchen replied, "Actually More people came than you can imagine, we just dealt with the ones who came close to us and were aggressive."

Li Cu recalled the scene he saw on the ground, a vast expanse of white with no sound for thousands of miles, not as lively as the desert at the beginning.

"Where we are, very few people can find it," Xie Yuchen explained. "No one likes to take the risk of running near the North Korean border."

It turned out that he seemed to be safe for more than 200 days, but in fact he might be beaten into a pulp by North Korean soldiers at any time.Li Cu heheed twice in his heart.Fortunately, he still feels that it is very safe to be next to someone with good skills. Now it seems that the stronger the person, the crazier he is. Now he can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands. If something happens, the two can fight for overtime , and his ten lungs are not enough to hold his breath.

Li Cu felt very upset, he seemed to be kept in the dark.This feeling has always existed since Xie Yuchen took him away from Wang's house. The news that Wu Xie sent to him through Snake Fang seemed a bit wrong.

Li Cu thought that he was the only one who knew everything besides Wu Xie, but the fact was just the opposite.At least in his mind, this lonely, empty and cold time on Changbai Mountain is unexplainable, but judging from the attitudes of Xie Yuchen and Black Glasses, these days are very important.

There are only two explanations for this strong contradiction. One is that the plan has changed, and the other is that he was played by Wu Xie.

Damn it, I'm going to be your cow and horse for you, and I've gone through all kinds of troubles to go deep into the enemy's interior, and the real thing is bloody, and you still play me.Li Cu cursed secretly.Crazy is not a fool, I don't know if you think you are playing me, I won't help you when I get angry, let's see where you sit and cry.

And one more thing.

"Where's Su Wan?" Li Cu looked at the black glasses, "You said he went to dig ginseng, do you think I'm an idiot?"

Unexpectedly, the black glasses nodded with a smile: "It's not bad, it's almost the same as before Wu Xie, and there is still help."

Li Cuo was furious all of a sudden.

"Don't get excited," the black glasses pressed his shoulders, "I'm a conscientious and good master, and I won't kick him into the fire pit. He can't be better now, and he probably can get nosebleeds from ginseng."

"Ginseng is a fart," Li Cuo knew that the black glasses were still circling him when he heard about ginseng, "Where is he? Tell me, tell me I rebelled. Don't bully me when I'm young and ignorant, adolescents are very impulsive of."

"If there is no mistake, Su Wan should be in Medog," Xie Yuchen replied, "Li Cu, you shouldn't care so much. Soon, you will be thankful for your ignorance."

Li Tu frowned, suddenly felt uneasy.

***

Time advances unhurriedly, and the battlefield on the Sand Sea migrates to Changbai Mountain inch by inch.Some people let out a sigh of breath that had been held back for ten years, some people saw through the scene that they had acted for half their lives, some people inadvertently approached the edge of the truth, and some people were pushed to the top of the cliff.The giant hand in the sky grabs them all together, no matter ecstasy or grief, calmness or anxiety, expectation or despair, they will all gather in front of the biggest door in this bureau.

The door opens, the situation is resolved.

And in the dark and silent depths of the ground, the fingertips of the young man who was breathing heavily trembled, and his eyes slowly opened. In those deep sea-like eyes, a flood suddenly surged.
