Pollutant recycling site

As he walked, Zhou Yan smelled the familiar hot woody fragrance coming from behind along the wind, perhaps because of the dampness from the snowflakes in the air, it was a bit more inexplicably lingering than what he had smelled in the past.

The arm was grabbed, Zhou Yan turned his head and saw Lu Chenzhao's face.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Chenzhao glanced at Zhou Yan with a smile, and raised his hand to put away the black umbrella propped above his head.

He stood in the snow with his head down, carefully sorting out the creases of the umbrella and arranging the position of each crease, as if there was nothing more important in this world.

Lu Chenzhao moved very slowly, but Zhou Yan never urged him.

Zhou Yan just lowered his eyes and watched quietly, watching Lu Chenzhao's slender fingers move slowly along the pitch-black umbrella, watching him take out a purple ribbon that he had never seen before from his pocket, and wrap it around the organized The umbrella surface was wrapped a few times, and a bow was loosely tied.

"Captain, would you mind holding an umbrella for me?" Lu Chenzhao walked under Zhou Yan's umbrella and handed the umbrella to Zhou Yan, "This umbrella was given to me by someone very important to me, and I cherish it very much." , be careful when you hold it."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Lu Chenzhao's hand holding the umbrella remained motionless, his gaze was always on Zhou Yan's eyes, and when he tilted his head slightly, the long hair hanging behind him shook.

Zhou Yan: "Are you going to enter the black box?"

Lu Chenzhao nodded.

Zhou Yan stretched out his hand towards the umbrella, and when he closed his fingers, he just grabbed the part of the umbrella tied with a bow.

A strand of purple ribbon that fell below the bow was lightly draped on the back of Zhou Yan's hand, which made Zhou Yan's already cold and fair skin even colder and a little more colorful.

Lu Chenzhao tapped the back of Xia Zhouyan's hand through the ribbon, and said with a smile, "You like the bow I tied so much?"

Zhou Yan inappropriately remembered the way Lu Chenzhao stood behind him and tied his belt when he was in Hongwa Village, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face: "It's just a coincidence."

"Yeah, it's such a coincidence every time." Lu Chenzhao raised his hand against the edge of the umbrella, pressed his knuckles against the edge of the umbrella, and glanced outside.Just like a few minutes ago, only the staff of the recycling yard followed, not far away, and no one else.

"It's up to you too."

Lu Chenzhao smiled and threw the black box into Zhou Yan's arms, and it turned into mist and disappeared under the umbrella.

Zhou Yan shook the black box tied with a purple ribbon in his palm, and put it into the left pocket of his coat as usual.

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated, Zhou Yan took out the mobile phone and saw the message sent by Ning Luan through the Horror Recycling Field APP.

Ning Luan: Team Zhou, their team will hold a farewell ceremony for Qu Peng and Chen Qingming at the headquarters of the recycling yard this afternoon. Song Yu sent a message asking me to go. I happen to be fine, so I want to see them off.He doesn't have your contact information, so please ask me if you are free this afternoon.

One of Lu Chenzhao's books to Zhou Yan mentioned that after ordinary people and investigators died in the process of carrying out missions, their remains may become pollutants and contaminate others and other objects.Terrorist recycling yards have the responsibility and obligation to inspect their remains and find ways to give special treatment to problematic remains.

The identities of investigators are usually kept secret. In the eyes of relatives and friends, they are just ordinary people who do not need to perform tasks or deal with pollutants.

In order to remember their unknown identities and pasts for the dead investigators, during the process of inspecting the investigators' remains, the staff of the recycling yard will usually take away some inconspicuous objects that represent their identities from the remains or their homes. Something, maybe a button, maybe a pen, maybe a piece of clothing... Put that thing together with the investigator's badge and build a new grave in the salvage yard cemetery.

When the tomb was built, it was the time when the investigator's team held a farewell ceremony for him.

An investigation team has at least two people and a maximum of thirteen people. They don't want the sacrificed teammate to go too alone. The surviving investigators will always notify other teams that have performed missions with their team and ask if they have time to participate.Unknowingly, it became a habit of all investigators at the recycling site.

Ning Luan and Song Yu's team got closer, and Song Yu informed him that it was within Zhou Yan's expectation.As for inviting him, unless Song Yu couldn't invite anyone else.

Zhou Yan typed a reply to the message.

Zhou Yan: Are you sure he wants to invite me?

Ning Luan: It should be, I don't think it's polite.

Ning Luan: How about I send you our chat records?Or should I ask him?

Recalling the appearance of Chen Qingming and Qu Peng when they left, Zhou Yan pressed his fingertips lightly on the phone screen and did not move for a while.

Ning Luan: Team Zhou, why didn't you reply to me?Is it because the phone signal is bad?

Zhou Yan: Send me the time and specific location.

Ning Luan quickly sent a message.

Ning Luan: At five o'clock this afternoon, on the sixth floor of the Horror Recycling Site.

Zhou Yan: Yes.

After replying to the message, Zhou Yan put the phone back into his coat pocket, walked to a nearby gazebo with an umbrella and sat down.

The recycling yard staff who followed him from afar thought that Zhou Yan was tired, and all of them were overjoyed, and urged customer service 008 to send Zhou Yan a message.

Customer Service 008: Mr. Zhou, are you tired?Need us to get someone to drive you home?

Zhou Yan: I go home, you guys take the black box?

Customer service 008 and others were shocked when they saw the news. Customer service 008's hands were shaking when typing on the screen.

Customer Service 008: No...no, the scenery of the Green Garden is so good, we won't bother you to enjoy the snow.

After sending the message, customer service 008 withdrew to a place farther away from Zhou Yan, until almost half an hour later, Lu Chenzhao came out of the black box, and did not take a step closer.

Lu Chenzhao stood leaning against the pillar behind Zhou Yan, no matter how straight his body was, he couldn't suppress the laziness that came out of his bones.When he looked up to the outside of the pavilion, Lu Chenzhao found that the scenery outside was very familiar, and it was all the scenery he saw before entering the black box.

Zhou Yan stood up and picked up the dark blue umbrella standing in the corner: "Go on."

"Yeah." Guessing why Zhou Yan was sitting here waiting for him, Lu Chenzhao walked up to Zhou Yan and bent down with his back to him, "Captain, you must be tired after walking around for so long, come on my back, I will carry you on my back." you go."

Zhou Yan: "...I'm not tired."

Lu Chenzhao stood up straight, looked back at Zhou Yan, with an expression that you must be lying to me: "How is that possible?"

Lu Chenzhao must have his intentions when he said that, Zhou Yan didn't want to fall into Lu Chenzhao's trap, so he went straight to the point: "Lu Chenzhao, why are you crazy?"

"I thought you were already very tired." Lu Chenzhao pretended to be surprised, "Otherwise, why don't you go a few steps to the coffee shop in front and wait for me, and sit in this broken pavilion and wait for me to come out?"

Zhou Yan's thought at the time was very simple.

Lu Chenzhao was in the black box, if he took a few more steps, Lu Chenzhao would not be able to see the scenery he passed by.

Lu Chenzhao saw the subtle changes in Zhou Yan's expression, thinking that he was about to hear what he wanted to hear, so Lu Chenzhao turned around and stood facing Zhou Yan: "Captain, have you figured out how to explain it?" ?”

He didn't think about how to explain it, but he wanted to understand what trick Lu Chenzhao played for him.Zhou Yan glanced at Lu Chenzhao coldly, opened the umbrella and walked out of the gazebo: "Since you know I'm tired, don't waste time, walk quickly."

Lu Chenzhao picked up the black umbrella standing at the base of the wall, walked quickly to Zhou Yan's umbrella, and shook the unopened umbrella at him: "Captain, am I walking fast enough?"

Zhou Yan moved the umbrella from the top of his head to the back with a cold face: "It's a rare time to come out, and concentrate on watching the scenery."

"Oh." Lu Chenzhao turned his head with a smile, and his tone was a bit lonely, "Captain, if you say that, will you not take me out in the future?"

Zhou Yan knew in his heart that Lu Chenzhao loved to act, but when he heard these words, he stopped in his tracks, wanting to see the expression on Lu Chenzhao's face when he said these words.

Unexpected and reasonable, what Zhou Yan saw was a smiling face.

From Lu Chenzhao's face, Zhou Yan could not see a trace of loneliness and sadness.

"No more." Zhou Yan looked ahead, and ended the topic with what Lu Chenzhao said, "Two people come out to hang out together, it's too much like a date."

Wherever they go, those people in the recycling yard will follow.Not wanting to affect other people's eating, after visiting the park, Zhou Yan and Lu Chenzhao went to the staff restaurant at the headquarters of the recycling yard together.

Seeing the two of them coming in from the door of the staff restaurant from a distance, the staff inside stood up one after another, quickly packed up their plates, and retreated from the side door of the restaurant in an orderly manner, with such skillful movements that it made people feel distressed.

Zhou Yan looked at Lu Chenzhao: "Do you come here often?"

Lu Chenzhao: "No, just once or twice."

After lunch, Zhou Yan still had no intention of leaving.

Lu Chenzhao remembered that after he entered the black box, Zhou Yan's cell phone vibrated, thinking that if he stayed here, he might have other things to deal with: "Captain, are you going to stay with me all day today?"

"At five o'clock in the afternoon, I'm going to the sixth basement floor to attend the farewell ceremony for Qu Peng and Chen Qingming." There were three people in a team, only Lu Chenzhao was not invited, Zhou Yan thought for a while and continued, "Do you want to go with me? "

"You want me to go?" Lu Chenzhao smiled, "If I go, their farewell ceremony may not be possible."

Zhou Yan: "..."

As soon as he and Lu Chenzhao entered the arena, there were only the two of them left on the scene. At most Ning Luan and Song Yu were added, and it really couldn't be done.

"But..." Lu Chenzhao changed the subject, "If you want me to go, I don't mind staying with you in the black box."

Zhou Yan didn't speak, took out the black box in his coat pocket, showed it to Lu Chenzhao, and put it back.

What he wanted to express was obvious, the black box was with him, it was up to Lu Chenzhao whether to go to the farewell ceremony or not.

At 39:[-] p.m., Zhou Yan held two bouquets of chrysanthemums and met Ning Luan at the elevator entrance on the sixth basement floor.

Ning Luan looked left and right, and found that Lu Chenzhao was not nearby, so he focused his eyes on Zhou Yan's left coat pocket, and after looking at it for a while, he walked to Zhou Yan's side and whispered: "Zhou team, your coat pocket and my The ones I saw in Experimental Primary School are similar, is Boss Lu in there?"

Zhou Yan looked at him coldly: "Why didn't you have such a bright mind when you performed the mission."

Ning Luan's eyes widened, and he covered his mouth nervously: "No... No, if other people find out, they will definitely think that we are going to mess things up."

Zhou Yan put his left hand into his coat pocket: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, who would know?"

Ning Luan held his breath, raised his hand to his mouth and made a zipper movement: "Don't worry, I will never say anything."

Soon, Song Yu came out to pick them up.

"Captain Zhou, Ning Luan, I thank you on behalf of Qu Peng and Chen Qingming, thank you for coming to their farewell ceremony." Song Yu was even more haggard than when he was performing tasks in the experimental primary school, and his footsteps were a little vain, "The others have not arrived yet , I will send you in first."

Ning Luan walked behind Song Yu, quietly glanced at Zhou Yan's left coat pocket, and breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Song Yu couldn't see it. If he knew that Big Brother Lu was in Captain Zhou's left pocket, he probably wouldn't thank them, and would only beg Captain Zhou and Big Brother Lu to leave quickly.

Song Yu walked to a password door and stopped. After entering the password to open the door, he stood to one side and asked Zhou Yan and Ning Luan to go in first.

After entering, what Zhou Yan and Ning Luan saw was a piece of land several times larger than the entire recycling yard.

Song Yu introduced: "The land under our feet is a pollutant. Because it has no pollution ability and no danger, the recycling yard built it into a cemetery. It is said that it was built a long time ago. The newly built At that time, it was sealed in other places, and it was later sealed on the sixth basement floor of the headquarters."

Feeling the vibration of the mobile phone, Song Yu took out the mobile phone and looked at the recycling field app, it was a message from other team members.Song Yu took a hasty look, and said to Zhou Yan and Ning Luan: "Captain Zhou, Ning Luan, the investigators who came from other places have arrived at the gate of the recycling yard, and I have to go out to pick them up."

Ning Luan: "Okay, you go quickly."

Song Yu looked at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan: "It's okay, you can go."

Song Yu left, and only Zhou Yan, Ning Luan, and Lu Chenzhao who stayed in the box were left in the cemetery.

From the moment he stepped on this land, Zhou Yan became inexplicably calm, as if nothing in this world could stir up a little turmoil in his heart.

Zhou Yan put the flowers in his hand on the open space beside the gate of the cemetery, and said to Ning Luan, "I'll walk around, you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Yan turned around, stepped on the stone road and entered the gate of the cemetery.

Ning Luan didn't dare and didn't want to be alone, and was worried that his voice would disturb Zhou Yan, so he just quietly followed behind Zhou Yan.

After walking for a while, Zhou Yan was attracted by a tomb in the cemetery.

The other tombs in the cemetery are different only in the name engraved on the tombstone and the epitaph, and there is no difference in the rest.Only that tomb is much larger than the others, and the tombstone is also higher. If you look at it from a distance of more than ten meters, you can see the difference at a glance.

Ning Luan kept silent, almost suffocated, and seeing an opportunity, he quickly opened his mouth: "Zhou Zhou, I read some books related to Feng Shui yesterday, and according to the judgment written in that book, the tomb was just built. It has the best Fengshui in the entire cemetery. How about we go and have a look?"

The black box in the coat pocket shook slightly, Zhou Yan grabbed the black box in his hand, hooked the purple ribbon tied on the black box with his fingertips: "Yes."

After arriving near the tomb, Zhou Yan noticed more differences.

Most of the tombstones in the cemetery are empty, even covered with dirt. Only a few of the tombstones have dried flowers or other things in front of them, and it can be seen that someone has visited recently.

Only the tombstone of this tomb is filled with flowers of different degrees of freshness, all kinds of cigarettes and fine wines, as if someone came to see him every day.

The strange thing is that such a tomb, which is visited by people every day, has empty tombstones.

There is no name engraved, nor the name of the person who erected the monument.

There is only a sentence scribbled on it. I don't know if it can be called an epitaph.

Don't trust me.

An understatement, separating all the colorful flowers before and after his life.
