don't talk to aliens

April 11

Longjiang Sanatorium

In the ward with no lights on, a pair of old slippers lay sideways under the bed. The unkempt, gray-haired middle-aged woman turned her back to the wall and clapped her hands and sang again.

Every medical worker who passed by in the hallway was surprised by this.

In fact, since the social volunteer who regularly came to see her every day stopped coming recently, this Liu Qian's mother has become more and more crazy.

Besides eating and sleeping, no one knew what else she could do but wake up every day with her eyes open singing and going crazy.

Her daughter became seriously ill and then mysteriously disappeared.

There may be no way to come back in the future.

Thinking about it, she would spend the rest of her life in this social welfare institution funded by the government for the disabled.

But just today, she was beside the empty hospital bed from morning till night.

But suddenly there were a few pulley rolling sounds similar to the service robot slowly pushing the door in, and after stopping behind her, there were two sudden "stabs" and electronic singing after a few noises.

【"...Edelweiss (Edelweiss), Edelweiss (Edelweiss), Every...morningyougreetme (greet me every morning)..."】

The sharp-tongued service robot doesn't actually sing very well.

Because the machine is a machine after all, it cannot learn the vocalization of normal vocal cords.

But with her back to the door of the ward, the woman in a hospital gown suddenly stopped her twisted fingers, which looked miserable, and sat cross-legged on the bed motionless and stood up.

The melodious and innocent electronic singing resounded in the ward for a while.

Her stiff head and shoulders, and even most of her graying hair over the past few days, miraculously swayed slowly following the sound like a withered tree.

Step on, step on.

The footsteps behind him were so soft.

But she seemed to recognize who was back this time.

That was the sound of footsteps when I was carrying my schoolbag after school every day, knocked on the door lively and came back and said, "Mom, I'm home, when are we going to have dinner?"

That was also the sound of footsteps that she would never fail to recognize in her life.

And the tears of the woman who had obviously been crazy for many years fell uncontrollably down her aging cheeks.

There is no robot standing at the door, carrying a bag of fruit, and at the same time turning into a thin and weak figure, hugging the woman from behind. The girl closed her eyes with tears in her eyes, but suppressed trembling and cried,

"mom."

"..."

"Thank you for letting the hero come and take me home, let's get out of here together now."

This sentence was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and the middle-aged woman who covered her face immediately let out a grateful "hmm" from her vague voice with great difficulty.

Then, the only light in the ward dimmed.

The white aerial roots that continue to grow upward along the lamp tube slowly wrap around the wall.

The shadows of these two weird and deformed figures were gradually involved and disappeared without a sound, but in the end this strange scene was completely pulled out of the cracks in the wall and disappeared without a trace.

A few minutes later, a medical staff came to deliver the medicine, only to find that the door of the ward, which had never been visited by anyone in broad daylight, was ajar this time.

As soon as she opened the door and entered, she was pushing the cart in her hand, but found that the ward was empty.

"...Huh? Where's the person?"

No one has been able to answer this question.

But starting from this afternoon, with the disappearance of this woman again, the whereabouts of the former missing person Liu Qian and her mother have since become an unsolved case reported by the news media.

Some people said that the girl had suffered from insulin disorders since she was six years old, and she was hospitalized for a long time but could not receive normal treatment.

Her disappearance may be due to being involved in the battle of the underground illegal drug market, becoming a poor experimental product, and her mother may have been murdered along with it.

Some people also said that someone saw Liu Qian, the mother who came to take away in the nursing home that afternoon.

Although she was wearing a mask and hat.

The skin all over her body was white as if she had lost a ray of light, making it almost unrecognizable, but it cannot be denied that it was actually the girl who disappeared strangely before, and she finally came to pick up her mother filially up.

Regardless of the truth of these strange rumors.

Right now, in a secluded place by the back door of the Longjiang City Nursing Home, under a lush holly tree, there is a black van with several small advertisements posted on the back.

In the car radio, there was a very loud heavy metal music.

A pair of feet wearing two different socks dangled on the steering wheel.

There is also a 'bad driver' with a copy of Fashion Girl magazine on his face, lying idle in the car, waiting for someone to come out of the nursing home in the distance.

Until the sound of fingers hitting the lower glass was heard.

Since just now, Fang Er, who was lying in the car reading this magazine and was about to fall asleep, was startled and raised his head.

After seeing someone outside looking at him in 'full armor', he took off his hat and mask and quickly opened the door to come in. He glanced at him and motioned for him to take off the smelly feet on the steering wheel before talking to him in the car stand up.

"Yo, people left so soon?"

Right now, Fang Er with stinky feet, who was disliked just now, looked into the distance and asked him a question

"Ah."

Looking at the looming sanatorium behind the wall, Li Xie, who had just followed in to see off someone for the last journey, also squinted his eyes expressionlessly and replied.

"Let's go together."

"Are you sure there are no follow-up questions?"

he asked again.

"No more, her gene extract has been handed over to her superiors, and she left the white house. Vitala's blood and physical signs have disappeared from her body. Her freedom belongs to her from now on, and the problem is solved once and for all."

"..."

"The city hero's protection of her ends here, and the rest of the road will be left to her. This task can be regarded as a successful completion. Drive quickly and leave."

"Okay, this is a happy ending."

This sounded like a decent answer, so that Fang Er, who got up early this morning to help him act as a hard-working driver, immediately got up and started the car.

The electronic license plate installed next to the exhaust pipe of the car automatically refreshed with a new license plate number.

The black van hiding on the street said, and drove away from the back door with a puff of exhaust.

On the way, Fang Er conveniently changed the broadcasting channel, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence that the series of "big news" that took place in Longjiang City just two days before was broadcasted.

"—According to the China Meteorological Administration today, on November 2018, 11, in Longjiang City, China, the daytime temperature was 5-15°C, and there was no rainfall at night. The air quality was high and the visibility in the atmosphere was low."

"——Longjiang News Channel special report, yesterday, the representatives of Fu's enterprises in this city held a press conference again, and issued a public statement on the attack on the oil field building the day before yesterday. In the case of the sale, Fu’s board of directors publicly stated that they would be complicit with others, and are willing to cooperate with the police in all subsequent asset investigations—”

"At the same time, the Institute of Atomic Energy and Biology, which was responsible for contacting the police that night and came to Jiuyuan, also expressed its willingness to cooperate with the investigation and return the truth to the public as soon as possible..."

"—As for the attack by the unknown intruder that night, Mr. Fu Bailong, the successor of the Fu family who was hijacked at the scene, also responded accordingly, saying that because the sky was too dark, he could not see through the other party's disguise, and said that the attacker that night was about A socially idle person in his 60s, about 1.5 meters tall, slightly cross-eyed, and stuttering..."

Room Two: "..."

If not that night.

As an accomplice, I went to the oil field building with this 'criminal' who was about 1.5 meters tall, slightly cross-eyed, and accompanied by stuttering symptoms.

Hearing this content on the news broadcast at this moment.

Fang Er himself, like the ordinary people outside, would be fooled by Mr. Fu's completely serious and nonsense rhetoric.

However, the fact is that the guy who was sitting in the co-pilot and pretended to be nothing, and who was only listening indifferently at the moment, didn't give him a serious explanation in the end.

Not only did he not explain why he would suddenly 'hijack' Fu Bailong when he was carrying out the mission, but also did not mention why the young master Fu would protect him for no reason in the end.

In short, just one sentence, the whole attitude is very and extremely suspicious and weird.

"You...don't think, what should I explain?"

Probably because he was still a little curious about this matter, Fang Er, who was driving, also glanced at him.

"Explain what."

Taking the magazine on the car and covering his face like him, Li Xie, who didn't seem to want to say a word, leaned on the co-pilot and answered casually in an indifferent tone.

Although his eyes did not actually fall on those sexy girls on the cover.

And it seemed that he was pretending to be stupid through the magazine to deliberately avoid the question, thinking about other things, but for a while, Fang Er became more and more curious about what happened to him that night.

"Just explain why people give you special treatment. How did you two know each other? How long have you known each other? No wonder you came down so late that night. Don't be delayed by something at that time..."

"..."

"Also, why did he help you with these things afterwards? Randomly blowing up the oilfield building is a serious violation of Longjiang City's public safety crime. Tell me the truth, you didn't sacrifice your lust that night, of course , you don’t seem to have any color in your current appearance, but in case someone rich has a better taste—oh, it hurts, it hurts!”

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Er, who was as annoying as a matchmaker, was punched by Li Xie at the side.

Since he was still driving, Comrade Li Xie didn't use his full strength in consideration of the safety of road driving, but obviously, he still beat Fang Er so that he didn't dare to talk nonsense immediately.

And he sobbed while covering his nostrils that were almost bleeding from the grandson.

Fang Er's attitude of daring to be angry all day long and not daring to speak out gave the bastard Li Xie another chance to refuse to answer this question head-on, and immediately changed the subject shamelessly and said,

"'Uncle Liu', I think we should stop talking nonsense and drive quickly."

"..."

"And are you really sure that this person is treating me preferentially by saying this? Why do I feel that this is clearly an opportunity to spread rumors about my handsome appearance, which my parents have finally inherited. Also, regarding young people, I advise you to be old." Just don't worry about it, okay?"

This highly targeted "life attack" successfully made Fang Er, who was his task contact but was bullied by him again, swallow bitter tears in depression and anger.

Afterwards, the two of them said something else about the attack on the oil field building that night, and then finally turned the topic to some serious tasks related to the next mission.

As for the other forces mentioned in the broadcast just now, apart from the Fu family, before that, none of them actually thought that the Institute of Atomic Energy and Biology would be the one who would contact the police and report the Zhang family.

But after thinking back on some details of the scene, Li Xie, who could roughly guess something, still said so at the moment,

"That day, the woman who was in the basement last time didn't actually show up, so I think the Institute of Atomic Energy and Biology didn't intend to really help that Zhang Shichao from the beginning, but used him as a bait for an excuse, hoping to see if I could attract some people, like us."

"...lead me, us?"

Fang Er was stunned when he heard this.

"Well, the Neanderthal species has always appreciated the collection of the most intelligent and advanced brains on the earth. They have degraded the emotional factors of the brain during the evolution process, so basically thinking about problems has never been emotional like humans, and has always been For a long time, they have all wanted to use genetic modification to develop technology. Generally speaking, they really can't see Zhang's mess, so it is really normal that the gods will suddenly turn against the water this time. something happened."

"..."

"I may have been targeted, and some things will be very troublesome in the future. You should stop looking for me before the next mission target appears, and go out by yourself and be careful."

Supporting his head with one hand, he looked out of the car window and did not forget to remind Fang Er of Li Xie's analysis and speculation.

I have to say, it sounds really reasonable, but it makes people feel creepy all of a sudden.

From the perspective of the Astronomical Observatory, the Neanderthals have invaded and parasitized the earth for hundreds of millions of years. Like most animals, plants and even microorganisms on the earth, they are the common earth that has been observing human words and deeds in the dark. organism.

But different from animals and plants, "God" is a kind of intelligent life with behavioral thinking ability, and therefore, their observation and monitoring without much kindness from the beginning to the end will cause many problems.

Since the development of human beings, although corresponding astronomical observation bureaus have been established, they may not be able to fully understand and understand the unknown species group of Neanderthals.

But the group of Celestials who came from afar almost knew nothing about other creatures on this planet from the long and mysterious invasion and parasitic time.

Therefore, although the National Astronomical Observatory is still in a stalemate confrontation with the "Shenhui" behind this group of Nepalese for the time being, if they want to launch some sudden attacks, the earth wants to make timely It is really difficult to take countermeasures.

"Okay, okay, my back is really hairy after you say that... Then let's communicate through communication later, and you should pay attention to safety."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, the superiors also asked me to tell me that they asked you to go for a re-examination recently. Your spine and legs haven't been re-examined in two years, right? Do you really want to wait until later and spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair? "

"..."

"Li Xie, you should let go of some things. It's not your fault. You shouldn't be the one to blame yourself from the beginning to the end."

Li Xie, whose shoulders paused before getting out of the car, seemed to have heard this sentence, but did not answer him.

And Fang Er, who was sitting in the car, looked at him as if he still couldn't really get over something, so he just patted his forehead helplessly and said to himself,

"Obviously understands all the truths, but still lives so hard. I really don't know what kind of person can really help this guy, even if it is to let him return to the way he was before..."

"Hey, maybe there are some things that are true, never disappointed, there is always hope."
