The breeding base is located next to a wild animal park in the north of the city. The environment is quiet and the vegetation is abundant. As soon as you step into this land, fresh air blows in from the half-opened windows, which makes you feel happy.

The parrot was very well-behaved today, clung to Chen Ling without saying a word, as if afraid of being thrown away.

Chen Ling hooked its wings with his fingers, and sighed in his heart, thinking that it would be impossible to leave this thing alone in the base.

Looking up at the co-pilot in the rearview mirror, he asked, "Can I take it home tonight?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." The girl said, "It's best to keep him at the base and develop a relationship with the other one first."

Chen Ling lowered his eyes, hesitating.

The girl said again: "Macaws are different from most other birds. They are loyal to their feelings and are monogamous. When they are in estrus, they will not court immediately. Instead, they will observe and test first, and then contact and go further. contacts."

The parrot suddenly arched Chen Ling's hand on the seat with its head.

Chen Ling's eyelids twitched, he might not have become a genius.

He coughed lightly: "What if it insists on refusing? Parrots have a higher IQ and rich emotions. I'm afraid it will behave aggressively like before."

"This..." The girl was at a loss for words, not daring to make a promise.

The young man in the driver's seat said: "Don't worry, our base environment is good, and the other purple-blue parrot is very beautiful in coat color and has a good temper. The two will definitely get along happily."

Nothing is absolute.

Chen Ling was dubious about the young man's words, and his movements of stroking the parrot's feather became softer and gentler.

The car passed a landscape road full of tall trees and stopped in front of a building. Behind the building was an ecological park. In the park were several small three-story buildings dedicated to bird breeding, including research offices, medical offices, Breeding room, hatching room, etc.

The purple blue parrot is about to go to the breeding room of the parrot breeding center.

The breeding room completely simulates the ecological environment in the wild. There is a skylight covered with nets on the top and tall tropical trees below. On one of the palm trees there is a cute log cabin that can accommodate two adult parrots. Outside the log cabin are two A bowl full of nuts and fruit.

A purple-blue macaw with a darker color is lazily standing on a tree basking in the sun.

When the one on Chen Ling's shoulder saw the same kind inside for the first time, it showed a little interest, opened its mouth in an instant, and yawned with its tongue up.

Mouth yelling: "Go home, go home."

Chen Ling signaled it to be calm, and looked at the middle-aged woman who came out of the office next to the breeding room.

The woman introduced herself: "I'm Qian Qing, who is in charge of breeding. Just leave the parrot to me. I'll be responsible for sending it in."

The parrot on Chen Ling's shoulder yelled, "Go away! Go away!"

Qian Qing was a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Little guy, I won't hurt you, I'm here to take you to meet new friends."

Without saying a word, the parrot lowered its head and pecked at Qian Qing's outstretched hand.

His fair skin turned red in an instant, almost bleeding. Chen Ling scolded the parrot, but protected its body with his hands, fearing that Qian Qing would get angry.

Qian Qing touched his hand distressedly, and asked the little girl who brought Chen Ling here before to fetch alcohol swabs for disinfection.

"The parrot is indeed more irritable when it is in heat. Don't be nervous. How can I care about small animals?"

Chen Ling thought for a while, and suggested: "Why don't I take it in."

Qian Qing became jealous of the parrot in front of him, and the back of his hand hurt when he saw it, so he nodded in agreement and said, "I'll show you the way."

After entering the breeding room, Chen Ling hugged the parrot with both hands, placed it on a branch, and flicked its tail feathers: "Go and play, I'll come and see you later."

Probably it was really suffocated. Although it was reluctant and scared, it was still driven by physiological instinct to fly to the high palm tree, and tentatively leaned on another parrot.

Chen Ling raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, sent a text message to Master to explain the situation, and left the breeding room.

Qian Qing stood waiting for him at the door, fearing that he might not be at ease, so he comforted him, "Opposites attract. If everything goes well, the eggs will be laid in about ten days after the stepping is completed, and the parrots will be hatched after more than 20 days."

"I heard that macaws usually lay two eggs, but the parent birds only raise one of them." Chen Ling's knowledge is popularized by Zhao Xunchang.

"That's right." Qian Qing said, "It's not easy to survive in the wild. In addition to satisfying their own food intake, the parent birds also have to take care of the newly hatched chicks. In order to ensure that at least one can survive smoothly, they will choose to raise only one of them. The stronger one, as for the other..."

He didn't say the rest, but Chen Ling already knew the result.

Like macaws, birds with late adulthood and estrus, and difficult hatching, are likely to abandon two young birds when they face hunters and survival difficulties at the same time.

It is precisely because of this that there are fewer and fewer wild macaws, and some of them are brightly colored and of better varieties, and have reached the point of extinction.

Chen Ling's heart was heavy with these words, and he planned to go to the wildlife park next door.

He left the breeding base on foot all the way, turned a corner and arrived at the ticket window of the wildlife park. He was digging out his wallet to buy a ticket when Master's call came.

"Have you arrived?" Zhao Xunchang asked.

"It's here, I just sent it to the breeding room." Chen Ling held the phone between his ears and shoulders, and handed out two pink bills to the conductor.

Zhao Xunchang pondered for a while, and said: "There is a wild animal park next door to the base, you go and meet the person in charge, and I will send you the phone number right away."

"What's the matter?" Chen Ling asked, "Is it someone I know? If so, I have to buy something before I come to visit."

"No, it's the client that Uncle Lin called to introduce you just now." Zhao Xunchang didn't explain, but both master and apprentice knew the exact client.

Chen Ling was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Bureau Forest? I thought he was a staunch materialist."

"That person is his friend. He said he reported to the police and went to the hospital, but it was useless, so he thought of me." Zhao Xunchang explained, "Originally, Lao Lin wanted him to come to Yuhe Mountain. I heard that you followed the staff to the base, so let me tell you, go next door."

Chen Ling said he knew.

Zhao Xunchang warned: "Your Uncle Lin is ambiguous. You don't know the specific situation. You should check it out first, and then take it if you are sure. If you are not sure, let it be. Anyway, we have secured investment now, so there is no need to risk your life to make money."

"I know Master."

Zhao Xunchang and the Bureau of Forestry had a friendship with the Bureau of Forestry and edited the greeting text messages alone during the holidays. Chen Ling didn't dare to neglect, hung up the phone, and after entering the door with a ticket, he dialed the number sent by his master.

After answering the phone, they found out that Chen Ling was appointed by Zhao Xunchang, and the other party took his subordinates to pick him up at the gate of the zoo.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a stable temperament. "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Sun Peifeng. I believe that the Bureau of Forestry has relayed my plight to you through Mr. Zhao."

"Master said that Bureau Lin didn't explain everything in detail."

"Yes, after all, it is the privacy of the family, and there are some things that I can't reveal too much to Lao Lin."

Sun Peifeng was in a good state of mind, and he didn't seem to be haunted by ghosts. Chen Ling said, "If it's convenient, can Mr. Sun talk about the specific troubles you encountered first?"

"Get in the car first, let's talk on the way." As soon as Sun Peifeng's voice fell, the subordinate who had been following silently ran to open the car door and invited Chen Ling to go up.

After taking his seat, Sun Peifeng also sat in. As soon as the car started, he pushed down the partition between the driver's seat and the rear row.

"I originally had two children, one of whom died of congenital heart disease ten years ago. The youngest son is now 20 years old and has always been in good health, but recently he suddenly fell ill Strange illness. We went to the hospital for an examination, and there was nothing wrong with him, but his body was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, his face was haggard, he was talking, and he often walked upstairs and downstairs in the middle of the night like a ghost."

Chen Ling: "Sleepwalking?"

Sun Peifeng shook his head, "I thought you would directly conclude that it was related to ghosts."

"I usually rule out other possibilities first, and then consider whether it is evil or not." Chen Ling said, "You continue."

"At first, my wife and I also thought that sleepwalking was caused by psychological factors, so we visited a psychiatrist, but the diagnosis showed that my son's heart was normal. The doctor said he was more optimistic and cheerful than most people."

Sun Peifeng clenched his hands together and took a deep breath: "When the doctor left, my son was standing at the top of the stairs. When the doctor left completely, the smile on his face suddenly changed...Mr. Chen, I can't tell That feeling, eerie, twisted, tinged with frightening malice."

It seems to be deliberately overturning the doctor's diagnosis.

He deliberately exposed his face to the Sun family couple.

Every time Sun Peifeng thought of that smile, his whole body turned cold and he couldn't stop shivering.

"That's not the expression my son should have. Mr. Chen, you know, he has always been a very good person, simple and kind, helpful, and very filial to my wife and me. I can't figure out what I did What a crime, God will punish my son."

"Mr. Sun, let's go to your house first, I want to get in touch with your son up close." Chen Ling became interested in the affairs of the Sun family.

Sun Peifeng has a broad forehead and a straight nose. He is a kind-hearted person. If his son is really a kind and excellent person as he said, he shouldn't be entangled with fetishes.

Unless he has done something he shouldn't do, been to a place he shouldn't be.

"Now?" Sun Peifeng didn't expect Chen Ling to come to the door so soon, and was stunned for a while, "Do I need to ask Mr. Zhao for instructions first?"

"Mr. Sun doesn't believe me?" Chen Ling asked instead.

Sun Peifeng waved his hands again and again: "Of course not. If you didn't believe me, I wouldn't have told you so many things just now."

Chen Ling: "Then let's go."

Even though Sun Peifeng said so, he still had doubts in his heart. Naturally, the person introduced by Lao Lin should not be a liar, but the real people can be divided into high and low abilities.

Not showing it on the face, put down the partition, and ordered the subordinates in front to divert and drive in the direction of home.

Sun's family lives in a high-end residential area with a 300-square-meter loft. When entering the door, there is an antique hollowed-out screen decoration, which serves as a partition between the entrance and the living room.

Chen Ling walked around the screen with his master, and saw a set of luxurious mahogany furniture, the cushions and backrests were all authentic hand-embroidered.

An elegantly dressed woman stood up on the sofa, smiled and said kindly: "You are Xiao Chen, right? Lao Sun and I heard that Lao Lin mentioned you, saying that you have a good temper, high ability, and are very good at magic arts. talent."

Although Bureau Lin had a good relationship with Master, he only met him once. Chen Ling didn't believe what Mrs. Sun said was true.

Sun Peifeng glared at his wife, indicating to her that she had been flattered.

Mrs. Sun raised her hand and brushed her hair behind her ears to hide her embarrassment, "I'm going to make tea, please sit down, Mr. Chen."

Chen Ling sat down as he said, narrowed his eyes, and looked towards a corner of the wall.

There is a shrine at the corner of the wall, inside is a smiling Buddha statue, and on the square incense table in front of it, there are fruit offerings and an incense burner with incense inserted.

It is not surprising that many businessmen believe in Buddhism in order to pray to the gods and Buddha to bless their business prosperity.

The strange thing is that since he believes in Buddhism, Mr. Sun did not mention that he had asked other celestial masters for help.

"Mr. Sun, have you invited other people to see it before?" Chen Ling didn't like to hide it, and asked whenever he had something to say.

Sun Peifeng sneered, and said in a low voice: "Please, I didn't say anything because I was afraid of making you unhappy."

After all, anyone who hears the words "I'll look for you if I don't look for anyone" will feel that they are valued.The masters are very noble, Sun Peifeng's original intention is very simple, just to make Chen Ling happy, and then try his best to help him solve the matter.

Chen Ling asked: "What about the result, what did the masters say?"

"I invited a total of four masters to visit." Sun Peifeng smiled wryly, "The first two didn't see the problem, but the third did. That Evil Yin is my first son..."

He closed his eyes and sighed in pain: "If it's really my eldest son, I wouldn't be willing to let someone drive him away and hurt him, so I let that master go away."

Chen Ling didn't feel the yin in the living room downstairs, so he asked, "What did the fourth master say?"

"Contrary to what the third person said, the master was sure that there was nothing wrong with the house, but my son was indeed covered with dirt, so he opened the altar to perform rituals that night. Don't say it, my son did get better after that, but it's not the same. In just two days, he returned to the same state as before."

"It's not going back to what it was before, it's obviously getting worse." Mrs. Sun came with a tray and put teacups on the tea table in front of them.

As if she was afraid of being heard, she said in an extremely weak voice: "Jiayu has only been normal for two days, and the 'sleepwalking' condition became more obvious after that, and one night, I, I..."

"What are you!" Sun Peifeng was furious, "Why didn't you tell me this!"

"You have to be busy with business all day long, and you have to worry about your son's affairs. I'm afraid you will worry." Mrs. Sun said, "You happened to be on a business trip that day. At night I heard the sound and got up to check, and found my son squatting by the garden on the open-air balcony. Put your head down and eat."

If she had eaten normal food, Mrs. Sun would definitely not have the current tone and expression. Chen Ling asked, "Live?"

Mrs. Sun grabbed the tray hard to relieve her inner anxiety, "Well, I didn't see the whole picture, but I saw the tail, it should...it should be a mouse."

Sun Peifeng's face turned blue, "What happened next?"

"I was terrified at the time, so I hid. About two or three minutes later, he came back indoors from the balcony, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and drank a glass of water." Mrs. Sun shook her body and looked at him in pain. My husband, "Husband, Jiayu looked really sober at that time, not sleepwalking at all."

"Don't worry, didn't I ask Mr. Chen to help me?" Sun Peifeng held his wife's hand tightly and looked at the young man, "Mr. Chen, I have already said what I need to say, and I have nothing to hide. Look at this How to solve the problem. If something is missing, I will send someone to buy it immediately."

Chen Ling: "No rush, I want to go and see the person involved first."

"I'll take you up right away." Sun Peifeng let go of his wife's hand, got up to lead the way, and while holding on to the handrail upstairs, he turned his head and said to Chen Ling, "My son is not in good condition these days, and my nephew is watching at home." His, he's in the room now."

Chen Ling: "You live here too?"

"My eldest brother and sister-in-law's family conditions are average. They live in a small third-tier city, and the educational resources are far inferior to ours in Beicheng. In order to provide a good education environment for my nephew, I put him in foster care after graduating from elementary school. After careful calculation, it has been 14 years. years."

In 14 years, from junior high school to university graduation, they have already become a family.

Chen Ling nodded and did not continue to ask further questions.

After going up the stairs, Sun Peifeng led the young man along the corridor and stopped in the middle.

Judging from the location of the room, the one in front of you is probably not the master room. Chen Ling asked, "Has your son changed rooms?"

Sun Peifeng was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the young man could even guess this, so he hurriedly said: "I changed it, I changed it. One day not long ago, he told me that the room on the east side was a bit noisy at night, and I could always hear the sound of cars downstairs. It seriously affected his rest and said he wanted to change the room."

The room sandwiched in the middle can neither get the morning light when the sun rises nor the sunset when the sun goes down, and the left and right are cloudy.

After waiting in place for a while, seeing that the young man was silent, Sun Peifeng raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Not long after, footsteps were heard inside, and then the round doorknob was turned, and the door opened.

The door was opened by a young man wearing glasses. Sun Peifeng took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Chen, this is my nephew, Sun Zhi."

Then he looked at his nephew, "Xiaozhi, this is Mr. Chen, an expert introduced by your Uncle Lin."

Sun Zhi has a modest demeanor, but his words are very aggressive: "Second Uncle, why did you find this kind of person again? You have already found four of them before, and none of them really made a difference. Maybe they are all liars. Don't blame me for speaking harshly, Uncle Lin, as a cadre, how could he introduce this kind of superstitious person to you."

"What did you say!" Sun Peifeng's expression turned ugly, "Apologize to Mr. Chen."

Sun Zhi frowned, and looked away, "I'm sorry."

As long as you are not deaf, you can hear how carefree these words are. Sun Peifeng gave him a hard look and said to Chen Ling: "Don't mind, my nephew doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. I found him before Master, he doesn't like it too much, so he definitely didn't mean to target you."

"I understand." Chen Ling asked, "Mr. Sun, can I go in?"

"Of course." Sun Peifeng pushed aside his nephew who was blocking the door, and led Chen Ling in.

As expected, there are walls on the left and right sides of this room, and the only window is blocked by another building opposite, so the sunlight cannot shine in all year round.

It doesn't have to be night, just draw the curtains and close the door, and the whole room will be engulfed in darkness.

Chen Ling walked to the window, and Sun Jiayu sat leaning on the head of the bed, reading a book on the pillow under the quilt.

Chen Ling glanced at it. It was a well-known suspense novel at home and abroad, called "One".

The content of the novel is mainly about a man who goes to a small town alone after receiving an anonymous letter.Only one family lived in the small town, and the rest of the houses were all empty, with all doors and windows destroyed.

Every night, there are monsters in the town, and they go into every broken house to search for living things, except the one where people live and the lights are on day and night.

The only way to avoid the monster and survive is to enter that house.

But there is a very serious problem. The food resources in that room can only support one person to survive. It is not enough to enter it, and the original owner must be killed.

Chen Ling said softly, "Sun Jiayu."

There was no expression on Sun Jiayu's pale face, but his eyelashes trembled slightly, making him appear dull and fragile.

Sun Peifeng propped his hands on the side of the bed: "Jiayu, Dad brought you your favorite shortbread today, why don't you go downstairs and taste it to see if it still tastes the same."

Sun Jiayu raised his eyelids, and threw the book in his hand onto the bedside table: "I don't want to eat, why are you so annoying, always come to interfere with my reading, hurry up and take that strange stranger out!"

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Do you understand?"

"Why can't I understand!" Sun Jiayu was emotional, and his eyes, which were not very bright a second ago, shot out sharp emotions, "This is my home, it's not your turn to talk!"

He turned his head and turned the blame on his father again, "Dad, can you stop talking about it and always find such inexplicable people at home!"

Sun Peifeng comforted him with a sad face: "Jiayu, just let Mr. Chen take a look. Just take a look at us, so we won't be sleepwalking in the middle of the night."

"I told you I'm not sleepwalking! It's because of your blind eyes!" Sun Jiayu became more and more agitated, and jumped directly from the bed to the ground, picked up an ornament and smashed it on the ground.

"Jiayu!" Sun Peifeng was a little angry, because of his son's offense, but also because of his son's attitude towards him.

But Sun Jiayu not only didn't stop, but became more and more crazy. The paintings on the wall, the vase with flowers on the table, the lamp by the bed, and everything that could be picked up by hand, were all smashed by him.

"Jiayu, calm down." Sun Zhi stretched out his hand to hold Sun Jiayu's arm, forcing him to stop the smashing action, "Second Uncle is doing it for your own good, you can't talk to him like that."

Sun Jiayu's chest was heaving violently, his face was still angry, but he was willing to listen to Sun Zhi's dissuasion and stop venting his emotions by beating things.

He closed his eyes, the veins on his forehead twitched, the muscles all over his body tensed up, and the hands hanging on both sides of his thighs clenched into fists.

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and said suddenly: "Sun Jiayu, there are two souls living in the body, don't you feel crowded? Why did you watch "One" just now? It was because the other soul hidden in the body broke free from your control, Ask outside for help?"
