Jiu Yan

It was as if I was the first to regain consciousness.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the ground. I turned my head and found a pair of feet. When I looked up, the person I saw was Uncle Rong!

"Where's the hunchback?!"

Uncle Rong was frighteningly full of energy, but he didn't answer my question. The chess player, Feng Qi, and the stone all fell to the ground, obviously unconscious, but there was no trace of the hunchback anywhere.

"I'm asking you! Where's Luo Wei?! Shouldn't he bring you here?"

I was almost going crazy, with uneasy emotions surging in my brain, I got up from the ground dangling, rushed up and grabbed Uncle Rong's clothes: "What the hell are you?" Dazed my mind, looking at Uncle Rong's sluggish eyes, I even suspect that he has been possessed by something at this moment, maybe the hunchback has been killed by him... The powerful monster that made us all lose consciousness just now I don’t know if it was sent by him, otherwise, why is he here alone!Could it be that the hunchback also fell into this trick and became unconscious like us?

"Hurry up! Where's Luo Wei?! What did you do to him?!"

No matter how hard I shake this guy, he doesn't respond at all, his eyes are fixed on the front, his eyes are empty, as if he has no consciousness at all... I pushed him away fiercely: "Dawei! Dawei! Where are you? ?!"

Running all the way back, the stone marks were still there, but I didn't see anything on the road, I started to panic: "Hunchback! Please, don't be killed by that monster... How could I be so careless, I didn't expect this , leave you alone with him!"

Running and running, I was almost at the cave where I found Yan Zi and the steel helmet, and I began to despair in my heart. How can I say that such a good person will disappear if he disappears? !

Just when I was thinking this way, something even more creepy happened: Yan Zi and the helmet... disappeared! ! !

I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and looked around with a flashlight. Indeed, this place is empty... I approached the place where both of them fell, and there was no blood, footprints, or anything on the ground! ...

I squatted down, widened my eyes, and looked carefully... but found... nothing...! ! !I stood up and frantically took a flashlight to look around, looking around, the more clearly I saw, the more it drove me crazy!Nothing at all!Nothing at all!Little by little clues!nothing! ! !

Great fear hovered in my heart... I felt a chill behind my back!I turned around sharply! ! !

He went crazy and started running back again! ! !

I run very fast, and my physical energy is consumed extremely quickly, but I dare not slow down, because I want to see it quickly, although I am afraid of knowing the result, but I still refuse to slow down, for fear that one of me will miss it, The facts have become beyond recognition...

See the light!My heart seems to have been greatly redeemed!I don't know where the strength came from to make my pace go faster!

It's getting closer and closer to the place where I met Uncle Rong just now, and the light is getting more and more obvious!I have mixed feelings in my heart, I really hope that when I get there, the hunchback is already there, Shitou and Feng Qi have woken up, and Uncle Rong has returned to normal...

near!Really very close!The surroundings are very quiet, my heartbeat sounds abnormally loud, I am exhausted, and the footsteps are getting heavier and heavier...

The moment I stepped into the cave, I felt all the blood in my body pouring into my brain... I felt a "buzz"...

really……

I put my hands on my knees and gasped for breath, as if I didn't have the courage to look up again... The scene that caught my eyes just now has been deeply engraved in my mind...

Apparently, Uncle Rong has lost consciousness again. Shitou looked at me with a complicated expression. Feng Qi may not have woken up due to too much physical exertion... The two players who played chess have disappeared... However, these are not important...Because Luo Wei is not here!

The hunchback, the hunchback is neither here nor there, did he go back? !

I braced myself to stand up, looked at the cave again, met the eyes of the stone for a moment, and I couldn't restrain my sadness: no matter what, the stone is much better than me, no matter whether Uncle Rong is a man or a ghost, at least he will in ah!The hunchback is a big living person, he just disappeared...

"Master Fang, will Master Luo go back for some reason?"

Shitou uttered a sentence, and seemed to regret it immediately after he finished speaking: "Actually, it's basically impossible. Why do you want him to go back alone? You still..."

There was a "buzz" in my head, as if I had grasped a life-saving straw, and started running wildly again...

"Hunchback, hunchback! Where the hell are you?" While running, I shouted. Is there another faction, is there someone who wants to kill me, and what kind of Shenmu wants my blood? It has nothing to do with me. How could the hunchback just disappear for no reason? !

"Hunchback!...Luo Wei!...Dawei! Where are you?" My ears were filled with echoes and violent breathing, shouting while running, the oxygen was consumed violently, and I had already run back and forth twice just now. After a while, I could only hold on to the rock wall and stop to catch my breath.

The front is the place where I saw Yan Zi and the steel helmet disappearing. I gasped and walked forward slowly. My heart beat even harder. In my heart, I didn’t want to see the steel helmet and Yan Zi at all. If their disappearance was real. , Then, it is very possible that the hunchback also disappeared with them, maybe it was just a sudden space stagger or something, although I can't explain it, but at least in this case, the hunchback is definitely safe, if I saw them disappear just now Hallucinations, then this hunchback may be more ominous...

Feeling apprehensive, I gritted my teeth, took a flashlight and began to look around...

Great, it's true, this cave is clean, nothing...

That's great, although I also know that this doesn't directly mean anything, but I still have a little comfort in my heart...

Suddenly, a burst of uncontrollable sadness welled up in my heart, my nose was sour, and my vision was already blurred by tears...

Maybe in this place, seeing Yan Zi and the steel helmet is really unbearable... This reminds me again... If the hunchback is also controlled by someone's brain in this way... it will not last long...

If you want to come and come at me, Shenmu doesn't care about hunchback's blood. These things are all my business, so it's none of his business...

Gritting my teeth, I tightened my backpack and ran to the place I came from. I shook my head vigorously, trying to drive away all the tears, sweat and bad thoughts in my head.

In fact, I have reasoned in my heart about several reasons why the hunchback disappeared, but they were all overturned by reality one by one.

My footsteps began to become mechanical, and there was no fork in the road when I came. Although this is very strange, I didn’t realize it at all at this time. I used a flashlight to illuminate every place I ran, just like a marathon runner. My movements It has become a machine, and my thoughts have drifted far, far away...

Why are you here?

From the beginning, in order to unravel those mysteries, and then I entered into more mysteries, what was I pursuing?

From being surprised at the face that looks exactly like me at the beginning, to being attracted by the interests of money partly, so that I fell into the ground by chance, marveling at the ability of heroes different from ordinary people, and being moved by my inner conscience Driven, all the way for the companions in the same industry regardless of their own lives... In the middle, what am I pursuing?

From discovering the incomprehensible facts that go against common sense and cognition but actually exist a few minutes ago, to actually feeling the disappearance of the hunchback... At this moment, what is it that I am pursuing?

What if Luo Wei never comes back, and I, even if I become the hero who saves Shenmu and saves the world?

Even if all the mysteries are solved, the beauty of the past is no longer there. What is the meaning of such a result?

Even if all of these are destined to require me to complete, what I will become in the end is just a lonely existence different from ordinary people...

Suddenly I remembered a sentence that Luo Guo said: "Find a girl to marry, and then have a baby. This is the way I will be in my life..."

At that time, how much I wanted an extraordinary and wonderful life...

Looking back, what is the meaning of life?

I remember once hearing a saying that genes are the main body, and human beings are just his carrier, just a means for him to continue himself, including having children, birth, old age, sickness and death.Human beings are like cars driven by genes. The genes in mice may be driving ordinary cars, but in humans, it is like driving a Porsche.But human beings are smart. They have invented many methods to fight against genes. For example, the thing about having children is that genes are willing to reproduce for the sake of continuing themselves and giving human beings pleasure. However, human beings have invented many contraceptive tools , that is, the use of genes allows people to obtain pleasure, and prevents multiple births.However, with the existing foundation of human beings, can it really compete with genes?

After all, is everything I have done so far driven by the gene of physical strength, and I am so stupid that I don't realize it at all?

Perhaps, these strange abilities are all caused by genes passed down from ancient times. They already existed, but they were not needed before, so they were not revealed at all.

In other words, there may be something in my body, similar to genes, maybe my genes are different from those of many people, including the ancestors of our line, there must be something different from ordinary people, of course this kind of thing is not It must be genes, and most likely something else we don't yet know.But there is no doubt that this must exist, otherwise it is completely impossible to explain all this.

When I first saw Yanzi and the steel helmet disappear, I was horrified and remembered what my grandfather said: "What you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth." Nagging words, in a critical moment, can bring me great help.

Just now, because of what Grandpa said, I immediately turned around and ran back.Although I didn't see the hunchback here, but with that sentence, my heart is no longer so afraid.

Similar to the short passage of thoughts I mentioned above, it may be impossible for some people to think about that aspect in their entire lives, let alone delve into it.
