The Last Apocalypse

next day

Ye Qing got up from the bed before seven o'clock, but it still didn't wake up as early as Luo Hao.Luo Hao sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the computer on his lap intently, and didn't respond even when he walked over.

Ye Qing sat down cross-legged beside Luo Hao, stretched his neck to look at the flickering screen, the pictures that flickered quickly frame by frame made people dazzled.

"What are you looking at?"

Looking from the side of the computer, there are more than a dozen cigarette butts lying in the ashtray, and some ash is scattered on the coffee table. Ye Qing asked in surprise: "You didn't sleep last night?"

"Slept for three hours."

"How can three hours be enough? Go to bed quickly, this thing is so important that you have to watch it yourself, I'll help you watch it."

Luo Hao opened the cigarette case, but there was not even a cigarette left. He rubbed his chin and explained: "Image comparison, the pictures you sent me last night need image comparison to find out exactly where they appeared. , but the database is too huge to retrieve it.”

"And there are a lot of similar people. If you search for a similarity of more than 50.00%, it will automatically stop. If you don't choose to continue the search, it will stop forever."

"This……"

Ye Qing felt as if something had been suddenly stuffed into his heart. He wanted to say something to Luo Hao, but he didn't know how to say it.

After thinking for a while, it seems that there are only two words that can be said: "Thank you."

"How about I come and watch, you go to sleep first and then talk."

"There is porridge in the kitchen, go and eat it before you come back."

……

The image retrieval work did not end until 10:30. Luo Hao pushed the notebook in front of Ye Qing and said, "A total of three places were found in Beijing, and all of them were images from the past three years."

Ye Qing found a pen and paper and wrote down the names of the three places, "Thank you, I will go to these three places now, and you should sleep well at home and wait for my good news."

Luo Hao stood up from the sofa, and he patted his clothes that had been wrinkled by the computer: "Let's go together, I'm familiar with Beijing."

"Brother, there are taxis outside, and I can go anywhere with a trick and a payment."

Luo Hao glanced at Ye Qing, and said lightly, "I also have a car."

Is this a problem with the car?

Ye Qing was a little speechless, but seeing Luo Hao's radiant look, it seemed that three hours of sleep was enough.

But let alone three hours, Ye Qing can spend thirty hours in bed.

And he is a vagrant, but Luo Hao is a working policeman, shouldn't he go to work?

"Aren't you going back to work in Sichuan?"

"I took half a year off."

Ye Qing slammed his mouth, he dared to ask for half a year's leave directly after he was transferred to Sichuan, and the most outrageous thing was that the city bureau didn't fire this dereliction of duty guy!

Luo Hao added: "Some time ago, the old man was in a coma, and he took half a year's leave because he had to seek medical treatment everywhere. Now he just took this opportunity to take a good rest."

"I lost to you. If you feel sleepy later, don't blame me for exploiting you."

"Let's go."

To say that Yao Sanjie and Luo Shi's three appearance locations are really weird. The first place appeared in Xidan three years ago, the second place was outside the Temple of Heaven a year ago, and the third place was half a year ago. Before appearing outside the National Library.

Luo Hao drove Ye Qing to Xidan first, Xidan had a lot of traffic, so he finally found a parking space and parked the car.

Ye Qing was strolling around Xidan slowly with a palm-sized bronze compass in his hand.

"Is this useful for you?"

Ye Qing nodded, he moved the compass away, and pressed some copper coins under the compass: "This is similar to the principle of throwing stones to ask for directions, but it is more accurate. If there are traces left by my parents, the pointer will respond."

"It stands to reason that the appearance of this copper coin will definitely leave traces, but unfortunately, I don't know the legendary soul-searching techniques, otherwise I will have to investigate if I try my best to make Yao Sanjie and Luo Shi into cerebral palsy."

I walked Xidan to the end, but the pointer never stopped for a moment except for spinning around.

Ye Qing was not discouraged, there were still two places to find. After a simple meal in Xidan, the two rushed to the Temple of Heaven without stopping.

However, the situation in the Temple of Heaven was not much better than that in Xidan. After wandering around the Temple of Heaven for more than three hours, I didn't find any clues.

The National Library will be closed at [-]:[-] pm. In order to reach the library before the closing time, the two had to put down their search work at the Temple of Heaven and go to the National Library first.

The library had a lot of requirements, so Ye Qing had to walk roughly in the venue. It was almost time to close the library. Just when Ye Qing was about to give up, the compass pointer suddenly made a crisp sound, and the pointer pointed straight to the southwest .

Ye Qing froze for a moment, then quickly walked in the direction pointed by the pointer.

His heart was beating fast, and his palms were already sweating. He was both looking forward to and scared, but he still couldn't wait to know the result soon.

The collection of books was placed on the bookshelves in an orderly manner. Ye Qing walked slowly, and the pointer of the compass slowly deflected in a small arc. After he passed by, the pointer deflected back again.

Finally, Ye Qing stopped in front of the bookshelf. He suppressed his excitement, stretched out his hand and slowly clenched it expectantly, but as his fingers bent towards the palm of his hand, the books on the bookshelf remained motionless.

Luo Hao patted Ye Qing on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, try again."

Ye Qing took a deep breath, opened and clenched his palms twice, and there was still no movement, even he didn't feel the corresponding feeling in his heart.

"Could it be something wrong with the compass?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing took out the copper coin. He stroked the copper coin lightly and then blew gently in front of his mouth, "Go."

The copper coin floated up and finally landed on the bookshelf. Ye Qing looked at the empty bookshelf and couldn't help but clenched his fists.

They were late, and the book had already been taken from the shelf.

Ye Qing gritted his teeth, and clutched his hair in frustration, "We're late."

"At least there are some clues. We just need to follow the clues in the library to find it. It shouldn't be difficult to find."

"It's closing, let's go."

After taking down the copper coin and putting it away, Ye Qing walked out of the library in silence. He looked at the sky and wanted to yell, but he finally held back.

It was hard to get some clues, but now the clues are just broken.

Although he was a little annoyed and depressed, Ye Qing hadn't reached the point where he couldn't help himself, and the hope of finding his parents was very slim. If he was repelled by a little setback, then he was really too fragile some.

During dinner, Ye Qing ordered two bottles of beer and poured a full glass for Luo Hao, "I respect you for this glass of wine, thank you for your help today, I, Ye Qing, have no friends in this life, I recognize you as a friend Yes. In the future, if you need anything, just come to me, whether it’s killing ghosts or exorcising evil spirits, you can come to me, and I promise to kill those little ghosts to the last.”

"I have to drive later."

"It's a big deal to go back, anyway, this place is not far from your home."

Luo Hao picked up the wine glass and touched Ye Qing: "I'm afraid that if you get drunk again later, I will carry you back again."

Ye Qing patted the table: "Hey, is my drinking capacity that bad?"

"It's like this at the moment. At least I've seen you drink twice, and both times you were so drunk that you passed out."

"In a word, to drink or not to drink, if you have deep feelings, you will be bored, if you have shallow feelings, then forget it."

As soon as the words fell, Luo Hao picked up the wine glass and drank a full glass of beer with lightning speed.

"Hey, wait for me anyway."

However, it wasn't over yet, Luo Hao immediately poured another glass and drank it, and he didn't change his expression until he had finished the third glass and asked, "Is it deep enough?"

Ye Qing laughed and patted the table. He picked up his glass of wine and drank it down, "Not enough, not enough, far from enough."

Luo Hao waved: "Waiter, have another beer."

After drinking cups of beer, Ye Qing's face gradually turned rosy, but it was strange that he didn't pass out drunk after drinking so much beer today.

The two drank a total of twelve bottles of beer, but Ye Qing only drank four of them.

Coming out of the restaurant, Ye Qing rubbed his head, he raised his head and shouted: "It's so cool."

Luo Hao rubbed Ye Qing's forehead with a smile, "You're drunk again."

"Hey, it's amazing, you actually laughed, come, come, laugh again."

Ye Qing smiled and wanted to reach out his paw to push the corner of Luo Hao's mouth, but when his eyes focused on Luo Hao's lips, he withdrew his paw awkwardly.

Although his mind was a little dizzy, he was still not confused.

"come over."

Ye Qing asked suspiciously: "What?"

"Try taking two steps."

Ye Qing took two steps crookedly, then he turned around and said, "There seems to be no problem."

"Be careful."

Luo Hao quickly supported Ye Qing who was about to fall to the ground, "It's better to take a taxi. If you walk back like this, you will probably fall with a black nose and a swollen face."

"Why don't you carry me?"

"I'm fine as long as you don't mind."

"Forget it, you will be watched."

In the end, he chose to take a taxi. Ye Qing was a little different today. He usually fell asleep when he was drunk, but today he didn't feel sleepy at all. He hooked Luo Hao's shoulders and murmured for a long time, but Luo Hao didn't even have a complete sentence. listen clearly.

After finally getting home, Ye Qing's cell phone rang just as he closed the door.

Luo Hao took out the phone for him, and glanced at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar phone number.

"Have you given your phone number to someone else?"

Ye Qing raised his head and thought for a while, "No, you are the only one who knows, probably from selling insurance?"

After connecting the phone, Ye Qing muttered, "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Ye Qingye? Here is your courier, please come out and sign for it."

"It's so late and still deliver the courier?"

There was no explanation on the other end of the phone, "Please come out of the room within half a minute."

Ye Qing wanted to ask again, but the other party had already cut off the phone. He and Luo Hao exchanged glances, "Go out and have a look."

Coming out of the house, there was no one in the bright hallway, Ye Qing thought it was a prank, and was about to turn around and enter the house when the elevator suddenly beeped.

Ye Qing paused, and saw the elevator door slowly open, but there was no one inside, only a dark envelope lying quietly in the elevator...
