black abyss

It has been more than four years since Bai Nian, and he has not entered the gate of the main sentry tower.

The layout inside has not changed much, and the secretary of his teacher, Ms. He Qing, is still the same.

The other party was dressed in formal attire, standing beside Bai Nian to lead the way, and chatted with Bai Nian in a particularly good-tempered manner: "I haven't been here for a few years, but it hasn't changed much."

Bai Nian nodded.

The other party said: "She has been very busy all the time. She originally had an event to attend at noon today, but she deliberately postponed it for a while."

Bai Nian followed the secretary into the elevator, and he responded, "Yes, I know the teacher is busy.

I saw her speak to the mayor on TV on her birthday a few days ago. "

The secretary replied with a smile: "There is a fixed procedure for birthdays."

Along the way, the secretary chatted with Bai Nian in a gentle manner, and Bai Nian responded a little perfunctorily, quickly reconfirming the preparations he had done in the past few days in his mind.

Bai Nian has been taught by He Qing's words and deeds for many years, although at first glance it seems that the two of them treat people and things very differently, but in their hearts they are almost indifferent to many people and things.

Bai Nian used to respect He Qing very much, so he would always ignore many details of getting along with each other.

After moving back to his own home as an adult, his focus has been on research and study.

It wasn't until he was charged in a special court a few years ago and left his professional field that he was able to take time off to observe the changes around him.

In the past, he just thought that He Qing personally didn't like the sentinel group, but this didn't affect any of her decisions.

But later, Bai Nian discovered that this was not the case. Ever since He Qing became the head of the main sentry tower and directly participated in the ruling affairs, the policies promulgated seemed very unfriendly to the sentry.

Bai Nian always felt that He Qing would not influence his judgment because of his personal feelings, but judging from Bai Nian's current information, He Qing was clearly trying to suppress the living space of the Sentry.

"arrive."

The secretary beside him reminded with a smile.

Bai Nian had already followed the secretary to the gate, his brows were slightly frowned, his expression serious.

Bai Nian even began to suspect that the upper management of the five-year outpost tower rejected his plan, saying that it was too dangerous, and it might just be that he didn't want the sentinel to have a harmless way to stabilize their emotions.

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Nian felt a slight chill down his spine.

What He Qing taught him since he was a child was equality and respect, and he rarely conveyed the values ​​of disgust and hatred in front of him.

Bai Nian's respect and admiration for He Qing was largely due to the wisdom and rationality He Qing showed in front of him.

The secretary stood in front of Bai Nian and knocked lightly on the door three times, then stood quietly waiting for an answer from inside.

After a while, a kind and gentle voice came from inside: "Come in."

Bai Nian straightened his back unconsciously when he heard the sound, and the secretary gently twisted the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open.

Bai Nian stood silently behind the secretary, thinking in his heart—could it be because he was discovered after investigating for five years, wanted to stop him, and then took Chiwai away?Bai Nian frowned and shook his head slightly, the door in front of him was completely opened, and the people inside were standing by the table, as if they were watering the green plants on the table.

She looked very relaxed, not like a busy person who might sleep less than four hours a day.

Maybe the next event is not a particularly formal occasion, and there should be no media attention, so she is dressed casually, her delicate white hair is tied behind her head, and she is still fiddling with it after the door is opened. own greenery.

After a while, she turned her head. Her makeup was exquisite, but it still couldn't cover the fine lines and signs of aging on her face.

Bai Nian stood at the door and let out a soft breath. After all, she was over 70 years old.

"coming."

He Qing's face was gentle, she didn't look like someone she hadn't seen for a long time, as if she just turned around from her room and came back after Bai Nian.

"teacher."

Bai Nian shouted politely.

He Qing waved to him, and pointed to the sofa in the office: "Stop standing, sit down."

Bai Nian obediently walked to the sofa, then sat down.

The secretary made tea as if invisible in front of the tea cabinet. For a while, the room was quiet and only the sound of water dripping could be heard.

He Qing, who was still working as a gardener, chatted with Bai Nian without looking back: "Have you visited your father recently?" Bai Nian replied politely, "I just went a few days ago."

The secretary silently walked up to Bai Nian with a tray of teacups. He picked up the teacup on the tray and placed it lightly on the tea table in front of Bai Nian. Backed out and closed the door.

He Qing put down her little watering can after the secretary left, and she walked to the single sofa beside Bai Nian and sat down.

"Is he in good health?" He Qing asked kindly.

Bai Nian recalled his father's state, and replied very sincerely: "I don't think it's very good."

He Qing nodded, she reached out to pick up the tea made by the secretary, and said in a relaxed tone: "Xiao Shen's tea has always been good."

Bai Nian crossed his index fingers on his thighs. The difference between him and He Qing was that he was very bad at talking about such meaningless scenes. He calmed down his emotions and regained his composure.

"Your man seems to have taken mine. I think I need to take him back."

Bai Nian's tone was cold and hard, it didn't look like he was respecting his elders, or even negotiating with someone.

He Qing laughed out loud when she heard the words, she was not offended at all, and even had a look on her face that she thought Bai Nian was ridiculous.

Bai Nian is silent.

He Qing said gently, as if trying to comfort a mischievous child: "Bai Nian, he is a person, not a thing, let alone yours."

Bai Nian's expression was not affected in the slightest. He turned his gaze and stared at He Qing for a moment. When he got closer, he could notice the tired eyes under the delicate makeup of the other party.

Bai Nian thought that He Qing was really old after all, with a calm expression on his face, he stated the facts and said: "Teacher, if you let him talk, he will feel that he belongs to me."

He Qing shook her head, scolding a child-like tone: "Nonsense."

Bai Nian looked back, he tapped his thigh twice with his fingers, and was about to speak.

He Qing said with a slightly accentuated tone: "He violated the safety regulations and hurt people in public.

It is impossible for our tower to let such a dangerous sentry leave. "

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Nian also emphasized his tone, and said disrespectfully: "Teacher, don't say these high-sounding words between you and me, you don't like sentries."

He Qing stared at Bai Nian for a moment, and laughed: "He hurts people, so what does it matter to me whether I like sentries or not?" Bai Nian leaned back slightly, letting his body find a relaxed posture, good Let my next words sound very relaxed: "I went to see my father some time ago, and he told me that my mother once had a study in her hand, which completely analyzed the method of spiritual union.

And as far as I know, she even had it on my dad for a long time, until something happened to her. "

Bai Nian said, "But why, more than half a century after the establishment of the sentry tower, the researchers of an entire organization have not been able to develop a method to stabilize the spirit of the sentry."

After Bai Nian paused, he continued to speak slowly, "Teacher, I guess this means that not only you don't like sentries, but the entire sentinel has not welcomed sentries since its establishment."

He Qing didn't respond, her expression was still gentle.

Bai Nian became more and more relaxed as he spoke, the expression on his face seemed to be at ease, no longer the vigilant state when he first came in.

"When Chiwai just came out of Heiyuan, the people at sentry tower No. 68 may not have had time to report to the police, or they may have reported to your side and didn't take it seriously.

After all, what about the black abyss? Those who can come up from it are either out of control or about to lose control. "

Bai Nian said slowly.

He Qing's face was full of interest, she stared at Bai Nian as if hearing a story she was interested in.

"Later, I might have made a lot of noise. I asked Nie Ping to check the information of the family members of the Sentinels who had not come out of Heiyuan from me before, and visited and asked a group of staff at that time."

Bai Nian said while thinking, and as he spoke slowly, his thoughts gradually cleared up, "Your people have been to my house before, you checked the surveillance of my house, and found that this sentinel is not a simple The sentry from the black abyss is about to lose control, so you sent someone to take him away."

A faint smile appeared on Bai Nian's face: "Of course, it would be even better if he could hurt people in public, then there would be more reasons for him to be taken away."

He Qing clapped her hands lightly twice, her face still had the interest of listening to a story.

"You are so confident in yourself, it can't be said that it is not a good thing.

But I think you may have been used to going smoothly, so you will develop this kind of personality that cannot accept that you may make mistakes. "

He Qing looked at Bai Nian gently, with some disapproval on his face, "You have never been responsible for your mistakes, or I am too used to you."

A trace of irritability flashed in Bai Nian's eyes. He was indeed well-educated because of He Qing's relationship, and he was even exempted from punishment. According to the normal process, he may still be serving his sentence for invading the sentinel's spiritual sea.

He Qing clearly saw Bai Nian's flashing negative emotions, she sighed, and the elder said in a full manner: "Bai Nian, stop messing around.

Some things are not as simple as you think. "

Bai Nian frowned slightly. He had never been in such a passive state in communicating with others for a long time after he became an adult. He Qing completely took the initiative.

Bai Nian is trying to let the control go to himself, he doesn't like to be passive in any situation.

However, He Qing raised her hand and glanced at her watch very simply, and said directly: "My time is limited, I haven't seen you for a very long time, so I just wanted to find time to see you.

Aiwen University work, I hope you go back to work hard, I hope you can understand that not everyone is as lucky as you, can do whatever you want, and someone will cover you. "

Of course, Bai Nian simply understood the other party's order to chase away guests. He didn't react, rubbed his fingers on the armrest of the sofa twice, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm curious, all the leaders of the sentry tower from the early days of its establishment to the present Level, all of their daughters were killed by sentries like you, will they agree with your series of decisions?" He Qing's face changed, and she was no longer always gentle, with a slight smile on her face. Looking at Bai Nian with a scowl, "Bai Nian, pay attention to your wording."

Bai Nian sat up straight and leaned forward slightly: "If you have seen the surveillance in my house, you should also know that after staying in Heiyuan for maybe seven or eighty years, his real age may be older than you now .”

Bai Nian paused, and continued, "Your sentry tower may have used him for human experiments when it was first established."

He Qing frowned.

Bai Nian suddenly thought of something as he was talking, and he said directly: "When was the first gate of the Black Abyss born? How can he survive in the Black Abyss for such a long time?" Bai Nian suddenly Recalling the content of the class I gave to freshmen, the birth of sentries and guides stems from the increase in the strength of the human spirit, and the organ that controls the human spirit is the brain.

The development of the brain makes human beings seem to be progressing forward, so what about the over-development of the brain?Only 50.00% of the brain development level is needed to allow human beings to deal with various complex emotional and mental conditions. What about [-]% or even [-]%?Bai Nian remembered that in Chiwai's mental picture, Chiwai, who was only five or six years old at the time, was forced to develop his brain by his mother.

What will happen to him after he is taken away by those sentry towers at that time?Chi Wait said "worse things are yet to come".

Then, is it possible that because of the excessive development of the brain, the body cannot bear the limit, and created a space that cannot be found and distorted by others, allowing himself to hide in it?Bai Nian's mind is clear, and he feels that this possibility is not impossible.

After all, most of the sentinels who had entered the black abyss were mentally unstable and confused after they came out.

But Chiwai was crazy after he came out, but his thinking was clear, his mental state was in a bad state like a post-war ruin, and he was still able to communicate with people normally.

Bai Nian is very eager to explore things that are unknown and interesting. He even looked at He Qing brightly, and his tone of voice became tough. He tried to regain the dominance in his words: "Take my things give me back."

Because of his offense, He Qing frowned with a stern face: "Pay attention to the way you speak, Bai Nian."

He Qing said: "He is not the toy you played with when you were young."

Although her tone became severe, she still spoke slowly, "Even if it is your toy, but do you still remember those puzzle toys that you liked most when you were a child? You studied them day and night, and when the answer was solved, they It becomes a waste product and is discarded by you like a shoe."

Because of some slight excitement, Bai Nian's spirit was very relaxed. Hearing this, he let out a sneer: "Do you think it's reasonable for you to pretend to be your humanistic spirit with me at this time? I think he will be thrown away as a toy by me, but he is here The sentry tower is either locked up as an uncontrollable research product, or locked up in the black tower, or directly sentenced to death."

Bai Nian laughed, very confident about it, "In comparison, he may want to be my toy more, teacher."

He Qing looked at Bai Nian in silence for a while, the child was almost raised by her side, she taught him respect, politeness, kindness and honesty since childhood, and almost taught him all the qualities that an elder would expect a junior to have.

Moreover, in order to set an example for Bai Nian, she has always set an example in front of Bai Nian, and Bai Nian really respects her very much. She rarely sees Bai Nian acting so rebellious in front of him.

He Qing even started to discuss genes in a very weird way. She felt that the blood of his murderer father flowing in Bai Nian's body, and the child she raised with all her heart still carried the despicable genes of a beast in his bones.

Bai Nian said: "Give him to me, only I can make him obey."

The expression on He Qing's face faded, she looked cold, and said without expression: "Bai Nian, you are a guide."

She said, "Why are you as interested in Sentinels as your mother?" Bai Nian thought for a moment, and was about to speak.

He Qing interrupted him directly: "Don't forget, the fate of being interested in the sentry may be the same as your mother."

After Bai Nian waited for He Qing to finish speaking, he continued what he hadn't said just now: "Then have you ever thought about it, it's because of nature.

Guides and Sentinels are attracted to each other by nature, and it is you who have been reining in this natural evolution. "

He Qing scolded with a cold face when he heard the words: "What kind of nature, do you think you are an animal? A wild dog on the side of the road that is in heat at any time?" Bai Nian had never heard He Qing use such vulgar words. He froze for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

He Qing continued with a cold face: "It's getting late, let Xiao Shen take you away."

After she finished speaking, she took another serious look at Bai Nian, sighed and said, "Bai Nian, the reason why a person is human is because he can restrain himself."

Bai Nian straightened up slightly, wanting to speak.

He Qing raised her hand to interrupt Bai Nian's words, and stood up from the sofa: "You are my daughter's child, I can't watch you repeat your mother's mistakes."

Bai Nian's expression was unusually calm, and he stared at He Qing's slow standing posture: "When I was young, my mother told me to persevere in everything, and she said that was what you taught her.

Whatever she does, she grits her teeth and persists until the end. "

Thinking of her daughter who had passed away, He Qing felt a little sad.

Bai Nian still sat firmly on the sofa: "After you let me go, I will directly contact the media and tell the media everything I know."

The corners of Bai Nian's eyes twitched slightly, "You know, the current media are crazy dogs, they like such news very much."

He Qing suddenly turned her head to look at Bai Nian, she angrily said: "You have become lawless!" Bai Nian sat firmly: "Of course, you can take me away and lock me up for a while.

However, I have called and sent emails to all the media I have known before, asking them to come to my house at 01:30 this afternoon. I have a lot of details to explain to them about the Sentinel incident five years ago. "

Bai Nian said happily, "Heavy news, first come, first served."

He Qing slapped the back of the sofa with a slap, and her chest heaved more and more, apparently confused by Bai Nian's sudden move.

Bai Nian continued to add fuel to the fire and said, "The door of my house is set to open automatically at 01:30, and then the TV in my living room will automatically play the video I have recorded in advance to answer questions for these media friends."

He Qing was furious: "What the hell are you going to do, Bai Nian?!" Bai Nian didn't answer her, and continued to add fuel: "You must think in your heart that you sent someone to search my house long ago, and all the information I recorded is It has already been taken away by you, and even if the media is a mad dog, they will not believe my own nonsense."

He Qing's face darkened, she stared at Bai Nian, at the good grandson she raised with her own hands, and she really raised something amazing.

Bai Nian looked calm: "You may not know, I have always had the habit of backing up a lot of things."

Bai Nian said, "Furthermore, the real information is mixed with a few pieces of false information, presumably their group of media will not pay such attention to it.

As for how fake it is, of course, the worse the better. "

He Qing sat back on the sofa again, staring at Bai Nian with serious eyes.

Bai Nian leaned back, but fortunately He Qing gave him three days to fully prepare for all this.

Bai Nian's face was relaxed, and he even showed arrogant provocation: "Of course, you can also send someone to smash all the things in my house now..." Bai Nian finished speaking halfway, and the rest of the words were clever He Qing Ma'am, you must understand.

Bai Nian was almost certain of winning and said: "It hasn't been many years since the sentry tower was able to participate in politics, teacher.

You don't want to turn the sentry tower back into a simple research institute and special statistics bureau because of one of my little toys? "After He Qing slowed down for a while, her mood stabilized. She analyzed the current situation very quickly, and her expression became gentle again. She stared at Bai Nian for a while, and laughed: "As expected of my grandson, stay here With the blood of my He family. "

Bai Nian didn't speak.

He Qing raised her hand and patted Bai Nian's shoulder lightly, and said unhurriedly: "You like the toy, you can take it away.

But remember to bring it back and don't make too much noise. "

Bai Nian raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already [-]:[-], and the timing was very good.

Bai Nian nodded to He Qing: "12:30, can I see my toys at the gate of the sentry tower, grandma?" He Qing stared at Bai Nian for a few seconds, then got up to make a phone call.

After Bai Nian listened carefully to the content of her phone call, he was completely relieved. He stood up from the sofa, and the time was exactly twenty past twelve.

He walked to the door, stood at the door and said goodbye to his close relatives: "You are busy, so I won't bother you."

He Qing, who was sitting at the desk, couldn't hide the age in her eyes with her delicate clothes and makeup. She sighed slightly, and now she really looked like a grandmother: "Go home and have a meal together in a while." .”

Bai Nian returned to his usual polite and obedient appearance in front of He Qing: "Okay, teacher."

He Qing looked in Bai Nian's direction with tired eyes, and laughed when he heard the words: "When I was young, you always called me teacher in front of outsiders, are you used to it?" Bai Nian hummed.

He Qing said: "From now on, just call me grandma.

Next time at dinner, I have something to tell you, I don't have time now. "

Bai Nian nodded. He was about to open the door. After thinking about it, he said, "Grandma, you are getting old."

-------------------I'm getting fat, I'll work hard in the next day and the update will be over.
