Ruyizhai

[sound of shovel shoveling]

Wu Xingchen stood bent over in a pit that had been dug five meters down and dug the soil with his helmet. His hair was wet with sweat, his coat was thrown on the ground, his vest was clinging to his body, and his black eyes and wishful eyes were scattered. In the other two corners, Chibo with black eyes went into battle, Ruyizhai was still wearing the wide-sleeved white dress, not a drop of sweat on his face, the sleeves and neckline of the white dress were dirty.They filled an iron bucket with mud, and when it was full, with a yell, the investigator showed his face from above, looked at them, and lifted the iron bucket up.

[Narrator: During the day, we dig underground, and the investigators supervise the work on the ground. Black Eyes has to go up every hour to rest for 10 minutes. The investigators will put a rope down, and Black Eyes can climb up in three or two strokes.They brought water and food from the jeep to the camp.At first, Black Eyes fell in love with it and then stood by the pit to eat and drink. For example, he would chew bread, throw bread crusts into the pit, drink water, and sprinkle water into the pit. When he ate the compound energy cake, he would eat , spit a mouthful, but also use the sound of whistling and chewing to attract our attention.I pick up what he throws, what he spits up, and I use my helmet to collect the water he spills.In essence, these are food, but after some artificial processing.Is there any food we eat that has not been artificially processed?From time to time, the terminal always reminds me that my calorie intake is far below the average daily requirement, my water intake is not enough, and my body fluid loss is too fast. Soon, my body will fall into an unprecedented state of madness.I don't know about the pit, but after five days and nights, Black Eyes stopped throwing crusts of bread or spitting pastry into the pit while eating.Perhaps his terminal also gave such a prompt. ]

Looking at Ruyizhai with black eyes, he licked his chapped lips.He asked, "Hey, why don't you have to eat?"

Ru Yizhai grabbed the helmet to dig the soil, his hands were worn out long ago, and the edge of the helmet was already stained dark with his blood."My meat was terrible," he said.

The black eyes laughed: "It's unpalatable? Have you eaten it yourself?"

Ruyizhai smiled at him, walked up to Heiyan, pulled up his sleeve, and brought his white arm to Heiyan's mouth: "Why don't you try to take a bite?"

Black Eyes pushed him away, cursed, and continued shoveling.After a while, he raised his eyes and took a look at Wu Xingchen, Wu Xingchen happened to be looking at him too, his black eyes narrowed, he laughed again, didn't say anything, and continued to work hard.

It was unusually quiet on the plain.Wu Xingchen wiped off his sweat, and asked Black Eyes: "What do you see primitive people look like?"

"Heideng is blind, just like a human being!" Heiyan stepped on the shovel and wiped his face and neck with a vest hanging around his neck. The sun rose very high, roasting everyone's back.

Ruyizhai said, "Who saw it first, you or the investigator?"

Black Eyes said: "He saw it first. He pointed to that person and asked, did you see a person there?"

"No one saw it except you?" Ruyizhai said.

The black eyes gestured: "That kid moved very fast, he resisted something, and slipped into the tent after a while."

Wu Xingchen asked: "What are you resisting?"

Black Eyes said, "Of course it's a corpse!"

Ruyizhai said, "Did you get out of the ground with a dead body? Or after you got out of the ground, you dug out the dead body and put it on your shoulders?"

Black Eyes said: "It came out of the ground against a dead body!"

Wu Xingchen concluded: "So, this primitive man killed someone first, and after you buried the corpse, he came out of the ground against the corpse, got into the tent, and put the corpse on the camp bed. Is this what you mean? ?”

Black eyes gouged him out, and said angrily: "Who the hell told you that he killed him?"

Black eyes said: "It's the second lieutenant! He's crazy!"

Wu Xingchen said: "But aren't the people here crazy?"

Wu Xingchen asked again: "Why did the second lieutenant kill those soldiers?"

Ruyi Zhai chimed in: "Yeah, what was his motive? There has to be a logic to being crazy, right? He's jealous of them? He just likes to kill people randomly? Besides, how did he kill him? There were no obvious wounds on the body, he Did he commit suicide in fear of crime?"

boom.boom.

A bullet hit Wu Xingchen's feet, and a bullet grazed Ruyizhai's right foot.The two looked up, and the investigator looked at them with a smile.Black Eye kicked the two of them respectively, cursing: "There are so many questions!"

"What are you talking about?" the investigator asked.

Ruyizhai smiled, didn't answer, lowered his head and stepped on the ground, and said softly: "We have already dug such a solid layer of soil. If there are people really living underground, how did they get out of such a thick layer of soil?" On the ground? Even if there is any entrance to the passage, it should be compacted by the soil. Could it be that each of their heads can be used as an electric drill?"

Black Eyes glanced at the investigator and said, "It's time, put down the rope!"

The investigator lowered the rope, and Black Eyes climbed up, grabbing the rope.Ruyizhai fell silent, didn't say a word, and continued to shovel the soil hard.Wu Xingchen approached him, and whispered: "I will find opportunities..."

Ruyizhai signaled him not to speak, and pointed to the top.Wu Xingchen nodded and stopped talking.

[sound of shovel shoveling]

[Narrator: At night, we still shovel and dig tunnels in the dark that seem to never be dug.Occasionally, I can see the fire on the ground when I raise my head, and I can hear the sound of burning firewood and the sound of each other's breathing. During the day, the firewood is also burning.The pit has been dug seven meters. ]

Ruyizhai asked Heiyan: "What is your military rank?"

Black Eyes said: "Why are you asking about this?"

Ruyizhai said, "Is the investigator's rank high?"

Black Eyes kicked him, and said viciously: "Fart, let go!"

Ruyizhai smiled and waved his hands again and again: "Nothing, nothing..."

Wu Xingchen looked up, they had dug a very deep hole.He couldn't hear the wood burning anymore, he could only hear their breathing for each other.

Black Eyes continued to shovel the soil, Ruyizhai hesitated again, and said hesitantly: "It's just..."

Heiyan grabbed the shovel and rushed to Ruyizhai, grabbed his collar and lifted him up from the ground. Wu Xingchen yelled and strode over. Dust fell to the ground.Wu Xingchen hit the back of his head against the wall of the pit, he sat on the ground in a daze, and heard Ruyizhai say: "It's because he keeps ordering you to do this and that, but he enjoys his happiness on it, so he thought, he His military rank must be much higher than yours, that's why you listen to him."

"Bah! You can go out just by digging a tunnel! You know nothing!" The black eyes flung Ruyizhai away.

Wu Xingchen crawled to Ruyizhai's side, wanted to help him, and said with concern: "Are you okay..."

Ruyizhai didn't look at him, got up by himself, still looking at the black eyes, still talking to him, he said: "What's that voice like?"

"what sound?"

"The investigator said the voice of the captain calling for primitive people." Ruyizhai learned, "Gah..." he asked, "Is it like this? Have you heard it? It's like a bird chirping."

Black Eyes didn't speak.

Wu Xingchen's bracelet vibrates, and the terminal prompts: You are about to enter a dehydration state in 1 minute, please drink drinking water immediately.

Wu Xingchen opened his mouth with chapped lips, scratched his hoarse throat, and couldn't say a word.

[sound of shovel shoveling]

[Narrator: I hear voices arguing.The pit is deeper than when I was in a coma from dehydration, by how many meters?Ten meters? 20 meters?I have lost the ability to judge accurately, the ground is far away from me, and the sky has become very close.As soon as I reach out, I can catch the cloud.Unable to grasp the cloud firmly, it slipped through my fingers and drifted elsewhere. ]

Wu Xingchen got up clutching the wound on his left shoulder, and Ruyizhai drank water beside him, tilting his neck slightly, as if he was listening to something.Wu Xingchen also raised his head and pricked up his ears.It was dusk, and the daylight was dim, and he heard the black eyes and the investigator seem to be arguing on the ground.Suddenly, a person fell from the sky and fell into the pit.The stench of corpses spread in the pit. It was a man who had been shot twice in the chest.He has an eye with a flaming pupil on his forehead.

"Hey! Come up!" A rope was lowered from above, Black Eyes waved at Ru Yizhai and Wu Xingchen, and shouted.

"Don't you have to work tonight?" Ruyi Zhai asked.

"Come up as soon as I tell you to come up!" Black Eyes scolded, saliva flying around.Wu Xingchen opened his mouth subconsciously, and Ruyizhai pointed at Wu Xingchen and said, "He can't climb up, and his hands can't use his strength."

Heiyan cursed, climbed down, resisted Wu Xingchen, and wanted to grab the rope to go back up, but he fell down after climbing twice.Ruyi Zhai said: "It seems that resisting something, such as resisting a person, and climbing up from such a deep place, it is difficult even for a strong man."

Black Eyes threw Wu Xingchen to the ground viciously, and pushed Ruyizhai: "You, go up first!"

Ruyizhai grabbed the rope, jumped down, dangled on the rope, and smiled: "Sorry, I don't have much strength in my hands, and I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken."

He fell back to the original place, opened his hands towards the black eyes, his bloody hands trembling uncontrollably.

Wu Xingchen asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you suddenly ask us to go up..."

Heiyan said: "Throwing stones to ask the way, waiting for the rabbit, do you understand?" Heiyan looked at the man on the ground emitting a burst of stench, and rolled his eyes, "Or put three corpses, the temptation is greater?"

Ruyizhai burst out laughing: "At this time, do you really believe that there are primitive people? Are there authentic people?"

His black eyes froze, and he drew his gun and aimed it between his eyebrows.Ruyi Zhai said: "Even if you kill me, I have to say, you believe he is an investigator when he says he is an investigator? How much rations do you have left? How long will it take to dig like this? Why does he know the second lieutenant?" Is the sound like a bird calling for primitive people? Is it really possible for a person to get out of such a thick ground? Even a groundhog has dug so deep, and now it must be seen. Are there traces of passing through the hole? But there is nothing here."

A roll of survival ladders was lowered.The investigator shouted from above: "I found this, try to climb up."

Black Eyes pushed Ruyizhai to the ladder: "You go up first!"

Ruyizhai climbed on the ladder, still saying: "Some lunatics like to kill people, and some lunatics like to torture people."

Heiyan carried Wu Xingchen on his back and crawled behind Ruyizhai.

They climbed to the ground, and the black eyes threw Wu Xingchen on the ground. Wu Xingchen hadn't breathed the air above the pit for a long time, so he took a deep breath quickly, the strong corpse smell made him retch.The air above the pit didn't smell good either. He saw a man who had been shot twice in the chest beside the blazing bonfire.The fire was burning and crackling, and the investigator sat on an armchair, holding a shotgun, and looked at them with a smile across the campfire.

That's the ensign's chair, that's the gun the ensign used to kill himself.

Black Eyes sat by the pit, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the pit.His shadow stretched very long, like a tombstone.

The investigator said, "Soldier, can't you sleep? Do you want to hear a story?"

Wu Xingchen was lying on the ground, his wound was still hurting, half of his body was cold, he couldn't help moving closer like the bonfire.Ruyizhai sat next to him, crossed his legs, propped his chin, stared at the bonfire, drooped his eyelids, and said, "Tell me, it's boring anyway."

Wu Xingchen curled up his body.

"A long time ago, the bravest warriors in the tribe were about to have a duel with the warriors of another tribe. Before leaving, they drank the wine given to him by the elders. The wine made them run faster and let their Doubling their force and making their minds clearer, they won the duel and stepped onto the altar of the blood sacrifice. The high priest blessed them and drew the imprint of the sun on their foreheads, which is only the warrior who passed the duel test To obtain the certification from the great god. The high priest dug out their eyes and called the divine bird to peck at them. After the divine bird ate the eyes of the warriors, they flew to the temple of the great god with their souls in their mouths. There, the brave warriors They are in front of the temple, guarding eternity.

"A long, long time later, the soul of the Aztec high priest revived in the land of his ancestors. With the memory of his previous life, he looked for the warriors who guarded eternity. He prepared fine wine for them, and he let them drink it, but unexpectedly However, the good wine that could bring victory to the warriors in the past has become a deadly poison. The modern warriors died one by one, but the high priest did not give up sending their souls to the temple. He painted the sun on their foreheads Gouging out their eyes, calling for the god bird to peck at them, the god bird devoured the eyes of the warriors, but could not hold their souls. The souls of modern people are too heavy. Therefore, the high priest had to deal with them hastily. corpses, but did not expect that the descendants of his ancestors rejected these warriors and returned them to him.

"The high priest was in great pain. He was abandoned by his compatriots and ancestors. He struggled with the memory of his past life and the reality of this world, gradually lost all ability to judge, and gradually became mad. Therefore, he chose to end his life. He hoped to rely on Death penetrated the true meaning of his life. He thought, if he is really a high priest, if people really have a soul, an immortal soul that travels between different bodies, then one day he will return with all the memories of his previous life .”

The bracelet vibrated, Wu Xingchen glanced at it, and the terminal reminded him: You need to replenish energy as soon as possible.

[Narrator: I fell asleep. ]

[Narrator: When I woke up the next day, it was already daylight. ]

Wu Xingchen tried his best to open his eyelids and looked around. His black eyes were still on the edge of the pit, but in a lying posture. Ruyizhai was still sitting beside him, watching the bonfire.The investigator was still cleaning the barrel of the gun across the bonfire.Suddenly, Black Eyes jumped up, looked into the pit, looked left and right, and jumped on 677 to grab his virtual camera, shouting: "Did you catch it? Did you catch it?? Where did the body go??"

677 pointed to the prison.

"Wherever it came from, it will go back." The investigator stood up.

Black Eyes rushed into the prison, Wu Xingchen couldn't see that far, then Black Eyes ran out again, and ran back into his line of sight, Black Eyes stared at the investigator, cursed something, Wu Xingchen's hearing It is not so sharp anymore, there is buzzing in the ears, and all sounds are like echoes.I saw the black eyes turning their heads to run, and only heard a gunshot, as if it came from the distant sky.

Black Eyes fell to the ground.The investigator walked over to where he had fallen.

Wu Xingchen propped himself up with his arms, approached Ruyizhai, and said, "Run when I yell to run later..."

"What are you running for?" Ruyizhai looked at him.

"Run...run out of here..."

"Then keep digging down." Ruyizhai said.

"You don't really believe that there are tunnels, there are some primitive people..." Wu Xingchen caught a glimpse of the investigator walking back with black eyes, and said anxiously, "Don't worry about it, run out first..."

Ruyi Zhai said: "Wu Xingchen, you don't think that if you block a shot for me, my fate is up to you, right?"

Wu Xingchen was stunned, dumb, looking at Ruyizhai, unable to say anything.

The Inquisitor came back, sat back in his chair, took a breath, smiled, drew a dagger from his army boots, slapped the dark-eyed face at his feet, cut off a piece of his cheek, lifted it up, Shaking at Wu Xingchen.

Wu Xingchen turned his head away.

[Narrator: Will he be sad if I die?What did his tears look like?Has anyone seen it? ]

Wu Xingchen whispered, "Shut up..."

A piece of meat landed on the back of Wu Xingchen's hand, and a sentence was displayed on the bracelet: This piece of human meat contains 90 calories, and you need to add 3610 calories today.

[sound of shovel shoveling]

[Narrator: During the day, the two of us continued digging.In the evening, the Inquisitor would come down from above to enjoy the black-eyed meat and watch a movie.He had 677 project a movie in a dirt pit.He likes to watch the director's portfolio. There are four walls in the pit, and he can watch four movies together in one go. ]

On one wall, Chaplin meets a flower girl on the road, on one wall, Chaplin looks at him in overalls, maybe looking at the great dictator on another wall, and on another wall, Chaplin Belling hung on the clock.

Chaplin discovers that the flower girl is blind.

[Narrator: That story about the priest lingers in my mind. ]

悟醒尘看了眼677。677和如意斋都在安静地看着电影，调查官被卓别林逗得哈哈大笑。如意斋和677说着话，他问他：“还是4比3的画幅吗？”

677 nodded: "Yes, the character must be confined in a box-like space."

"Wraparound full-frame can bring the audience a better horror experience."

"Then the audience will only experience horror and not pay attention to love."

"A love horror movie?"

"Romance movies, but, basically, love is horror."

Ruyi Zhai smiled at 677.They continue watching the movie, quietly.No one spoke.

[sound of shovel shoveling]

Another day.Excavation continues.Ruyizhai used a shovel, and Wu Xingchen was still using a helmet.He suddenly said: "If you hit it off with him, we can end the relationship at any time..."

Ruyizhai asked him, "Can you move your left hand?"

Wu Xingchen tried to make a fist with his left hand, and his fingers just curled up. Ruyizhai said, "It seems that this progress can be maintained."

A few pieces of meat fell to the ground, and the investigator stood by the edge of the pit watching them.From the angle of the backlight, his face was dim, and his face was exactly the same as when he was illuminated by the bonfire at night.

[sound of shovel shoveling]

[indiscernible voice]

[Narrator: During the day, we excavated, and at night we watched movies. There are many new movies excavated in the database of 677, all of which are directors I have never heard of.Melville, Jacques Baker, Godard, Rohmer, I wonder if they recently dug up the remains of a film studio in France.What is the outside world like now?What have I become again?Alain Delon drives a car through the streets of Paris, and he can appear in similar clubs on four walls at the same time. ]

[sound of shovel shoveling]

[Narrator: There are no more meat slices, and the black-eyed corpses are finished. 677 is also dangerous.Maybe it's me who's in danger, who knows.I have lost my sense of death.It's so close to me, I'm used to it. ]

Wu Xingchen was sweating profusely, and asked Ruyizhai: "Is there really a real way?"

Ruyi Zhai said: "If you dig it down, you will know."

"When will it be dug?"

Wu Xingchen threw away his helmet, kicked the wall of the pit hard, the pain was so great that he was himself, he squatted on the ground, hugged his knees and said nothing.

[Narrator: I seem to be looking into a black hole, and I dig into my own black hole. ]

Wu Xingchen asked 677: "Do you have mind reading skills?"

Ruyizhai said: "You shouldn't talk to the director, it's going to be a big drama."

Wu Xingchen frowned: "This is my life, I am my only director!"

Ruyizhai looked at him, smiled and shrugged.Wu Xingchen turned around, facing the wall and digging.

In the evening, the investigator came down and Ruyi Zhai stopped working. Wu Xingchen took his shovel to shovel the soil. The investigator asked him, "Is your left hand getting stronger?"

"At least stronger than a recorder, at least more useful than a recorder." Wu Xingchen said, flying out a shovelful of soil.

The investigator laughed.They watched the movie again, and Wu Xingchen was still digging the soil, and the soil couldn't be transported up, so he had to let it pile up at his feet, let it raise a low wall between him and the others, and raise a high wall.

[sound of shovel shoveling]

During the day, he and Ruyizhai stopped talking, just digging, what's underground?typical?primitive?He didn't know, he didn't hold out hope, he just dug.Digging became the only thing he could do, the only purpose of his life.

A few slices of meat were thrown down.

At night, 677 fell from above, and the investigator followed. 677 still breathed a sigh of relief. He lay on the ground and waved to Wu Xingchen.Wu Xingchen glanced at the investigator, who said, "He has something to tell you."

Wu Xingchen went over to help him up, 677's face was bloody.He struggled to bring up the Alain Resnais portfolio and started projecting.

Ruyizhai and the investigator sit and watch a movie.A white light flashed across their cheeks.

Wu Xingchen panicked, grabbed 677's hand: "You...you...what's wrong with you?"

677 said: "465, all my records are given to you. I also give you the 4:3 frame, don't change my frame... Also, never compromise with special effects, don't abuse the soundtrack, if you have to add If there is any ending song or episode, please use the Johnny Greenwood template." 677 swallowed, Wu Xingchen wanted to cry, but his eyes were dry, he rubbed his eyes hard, 677 patted him, Wu Xingchen Then look at him again. 677 put the bracelet on Wu Wu Xingchen's bracelet.

start transferring...

The transfer is complete.

677 looked at the movie on the wall: "The movie is dead, from the moment the first train rushed out of the screen, the movie died."

The two spectators sat indifferently, watching.

677 looked towards the sky, short of breath, he said:

[Gasps. ]

[Narrator: 677 is also dead.I was a little sad, but also a little thankful, and relieved.My mood is like a manga page, divided into three panels, one is crying me, the other is snickering me, and below these two panels is me holding 677's corpse.This is me.I'm such a wonderful word.People hide behind "I", and "I" covers all people's emotions. ]

677 opened his out-of-focus eyes: "Anthony, run to the beach, run, the sea is right in front of you..."

He died.

Wu Xingchen lowered his head, the bracelet vibrated, he looked at it, and there was a line of small words on the bracelet: This human body can provide you with a maximum of nearly [-] calories, click to view the cooking recipe! (Click for details)

A hand stretched out, Wu Xingchen looked up, it was Ruyi Zhai.He reached out and closed 677's eyes, leaned over and kissed his hair lightly.

The investigator watched, but soon returned his gaze to the film.On one wall, an old man sits at a long dining table on the lawn, covered with silverware and food; on another, a young man comes out of a door, preoccupied; On the wall, people stand in the picture like sculptures; on one wall, there is nothing.
