Abnormal Museum Pokédex

On the second basement floor, the electronic clock beat silently, and the room was completely silent, only the ventilation pipe in the corner of the ceiling made a faint humming sound.

Xiao Su stared at the yellowed thick cardboard under the lamp.

For 12 years, this picture book that was supposed to be by Rong Rui's side and accompany him through his lonely childhood has been hidden in Yeager's hands for a full 12 years.

To this day, unexpectedly, she unexpectedly appeared in front of him unexpectedly, in such an incredible way.

Is this fate?

Destiny, indeed, is like a vile child playing with the toys in his hand wantonly.

Heartache, anger, hatred... Xiao Su suppressed the churning emotions in his heart and forced himself to deduce everything that happened 12 years ago in his mind.

He didn't know much about Zheng Fei's death, only some sporadic fragments that Rong Rui and Rong Sihuan had narrated.He remembered that it should be the summer of 2017, when Rong Rui was about to start elementary school, Zheng Fei had planned to change jobs in the fall, and settle down to discipline his son, but unexpectedly received an invitation from an organization without borders.Because it was related to a project that had been her long-term bottleneck, she decided to take advantage of her last summer vacation to go to East Africa.

At the end of July, she joined members of the organization at the base camp west of Sangwaga, and then led her scientific research team deep into the jungle in the northern part of Whale Lake.Just at the right time, the rebels launched a riot against the general election of the coalition government of Kili. The tribal forces led by Bushina quickly occupied the northwest mountainous area, attempting to attack Sangwaka and threatening the safety of the capital Duma...

Xiao Su picked up the purple pencil and drew a simple map on the paper.Whale Lake, as the name suggests, is a huge lake shaped like a whale.It lies across the northwestern border of Kili, with its head facing south and its tail facing north, slightly curved inward, like a whale jumping out of the sea.

Busina's power is mainly entrenched in the tail of the whale. Zheng Fei went deep into her territory back then. After the riot broke out, the base camp in the suburb of Sangwaga immediately sent an emergency notice to her, asking her to retreat to the southern safe zone. .

Three days later, Rong Sihuan was on a mission in the northeast of Whale Lake, in a mountain depression called Shiyuan Sea. While ambushing at night, she suddenly received a distress signal from the forest camp.

What happened afterwards was probably the eternal pain in the hearts of their father and son. Rong Sihuan did not leave his post due to his military responsibilities. He cooperated with his teammates to complete the assault mission that night. A few days later, he received news of his wife's death at Duma Airport.

Xiao Su still can't imagine Rong Sihuan's mood at that time. Compared with the young and ignorant Rong Rui, the pain in his heart may not be able to be described in words.And who is the instigator of all these tragedies?Buschna, or Yeager?

What happened in the three days from the call to evacuate from the base camp to when Rong Sihuan received the distress signal?

Except for the murderer, all the parties involved died 12 years ago. If you want to know the truth, you can only find clues from Yeager.Xiao Su tried his best to replay the conversation just now in his mind. Yeager said that he had nothing to do with Zheng Fei's death, but because he was alone and unarmed at the time, he didn't dare to rescue her rashly and could only watch her be killed.

Therefore, Yeager was there when the tragedy happened.

Xiao Su remembered that Rong Sihuan said that he received Zheng Fei's distress signal in the middle of the night, so the time she was killed should be around midnight.

With a thought in his heart, Xiao Su drew a pen and marked the location of the stone house on the map. This place is located in the hinterland of the Great Rift Valley, with deep forests and obstructed roads, and the environment is harsh. Even the locals would not come here at midnight.What's more, the rebel army was rampant at the time of the incident, and it was even more impossible for Yeager to choose to rush after dark and arrive at the stone house at midnight.

In other words, he probably met Zheng Fei during the day and agreed to set off for the southern base camp together.

How did he escape the murderer?

Or...was he the murderer at all?

Xiao Su shivered violently, and a scene emerged in his mind—in the laboratory, he once asked Yeager how "that person" died, and Yeager's eyes dodged when he answered, and he almost didn't dare to look directly at him. his gaze.

If it was just because of the misappropriation of scientific research results, he shouldn't have had such a big reaction. After all, he had already stated before that he didn't care how the virus came from, only whether it could save lives.

So, do Yeager's guilt and fear come from deeper sins?

The past can no longer be traced. Zheng Fei died in the deep mountains and jungles. The Chinese police were unable to go deep into the hinterland of the rebels to investigate the scene. The embassy could only refer to the local people's statement and believe that she was killed by the rebels.

In fact, what is it like?

His head started to hurt, and Xiao Su clenched his fists against his temples, feeling as if he had walked into a dead end, stuck in a dilemma, unable to find his way.But he couldn't give up, that was Rongrui's mother, and also his mother, he couldn't let Zheng Fei die unjustly, for no apparent reason.

So, where else to start?Confront Bushna?impossible.

We can only continue to dig out from Yeager.

Xiao Su picked up the thick cardboard again. There was a row of small holes on the left side of it, which were obviously removed from a loose-leaf book. In other words, Yeager had more than one picture book in his hand, there should be one.

What did Zheng Fei draw for Rongrui this time?

Xiao Su took out a blank piece of paper and began to recall the ciphertext master copy in the picture book at home.Fortunately, the mother script is not complicated, there are only 26 letters, and the mother made it up to coax the child, which is just a trivial matter for a high school student of his level.

Soon Xiao Su silently produced the mother text, compared the jammed paper, and translated the content of this passage.

R and r, the cat father and son, left the last stop of the expedition - Yali star. According to the information sent back by the probe, they rushed to a planet where there may be descendants of ancient dinosaurs. They found that the planet was hit by a meteorite and the surface was torn apart. Open a huge canyon.In order to find survivors, the cat father and son decided to explore the big crack deep in the canyon.

It was actually connected to the end of the book at home. It turned out that this book was a follow-up. Xiao Su stroked the blank space on the edge of the paper, and suddenly had a strong desire to see Rong Rui, and wanted to hold Zheng Fei's last posthumous work with him. , read it through.

We must find a way to get Yeager to hand over the rest... Xiao Su looked at the light purple handwriting on the cardboard, and suddenly realized that the color was actually the same as the mother copy he had written silently.

It turned out that the pen he used these days was left by Zheng Fei in the stone house 12 years ago.

Holding this precious colored pencil, Xiao Su suddenly felt a warm current in his heart. It turns out that he is not alone. Zheng Fei has been accompanying him and guiding him in this way for 12 years.

Mom... Xiao Su's eyes were moist, but his heart was calm and joyful. He put the colored pencil on the table gently, and silently swore to it that he would help its owner find the truth and avenge him.

Xiao Su went to bed very late that night, and took double doses of ibuprofen and sleeping pills to relieve his headache. When he woke up the next day, it was almost noon.

He didn't rush to find Yeager, but asked Hao Yunlai to take him to the ground for a walk.

The afternoon sun was very warm, Xiao Su was already very weak, wrapped in a black coat, his face was buried in the fur collar, his face was bloodless white.

Perhaps seeing that his time was short, Hao Yunlai cared about him very much, and specially brought him health-preserving tea soaked with wolfberries and red dates.Xiao Su suspected that he still had old mountain ginseng slices in his pocket, the kind that was ready to hang himself at any time.

It's hard to believe that there are such compassionate figures among the rebels.

Xiao Su stopped in the open space east of the base to bask in the sun while observing the row of stone houses. Except for the largest one, the other stone houses were either half-collapsed or broken to the point where only a low wall remained. According to Hao Yun, it was like this more than ten years ago. There was no way to live there, so Yeager couldn't have been hiding inside on the day Zheng Fei died.

There are woods behind the stone house where you can hide, but there are no windows on that wall, and you can only go out through the front door. The murderer must have broken in through the front door at the time of the incident. It may be difficult for Yeager to escape their sight. A door to escape.

Unless you know invisibility.

Xiao Su drove the wheelchair into the largest stone house, and everything here was the same, the gas tanks from more than ten years ago were left on the ground, and the wooden bed collapsed on the ground.But this time Xiao Su had something on his mind, so he observed more carefully, and found that the tattered animal skins on the wooden bed seemed to be dyed with some unusual colors.

Dried blood maybe?

There are also those large and small holes, some of which don't look like moth-eaten, but more like bullet holes.The broken wooden bed leg, with traces of gunpowder burning at the crack, is black, and it may have been broken by a bullet.

Xiao Su is not a professional, and no matter how hard he tries, he can only see these things. After all, it is a long time, and 12 years can wash away countless details.

It would be great if Rongrui was here...

While meditating, Hao Yunlai suddenly said, "Mr. Xiao, the boss seems to be looking for you."

Xiao Su's heart skipped a beat, and when he turned around, he saw Fang Huize coming up from the ground, dressed in black, with a gloomy face.

"Why are you here?" Fang Huize asked, looking around and frowning.

"Basking in the sun." Xiao Su said, "The wind suddenly picked up just now, so come in and take shelter."

"Oh..." Fang Huize looked down at him, Xiao Su's face was very thin, with sharp bones and lines, like a sculpture, with a sense of contradiction mixed with weakness and sharpness.A few beams of sunlight came in through the broken window and shone on his face. His skin was delicate and flawless, as pale as fine porcelain, and would shatter into powder if touched...

Fang Huize reached out subconsciously, and touched his cold face with her fingertips. She woke up suddenly, brushed her side cheeks, and smoothed his temple hair.

Xiao Su tilted his head slightly, avoiding his hand.Fang Huize said hoarsely, "Your hair is so long, let me cut it for you."

Xiao Su was noncommittal, Fang Huize buttoned up the top horn of his collar, and pushed him out of the stone house: "It's windy, go back, you can't stand the cold."

All the way back to the underground, Fang Huize stopped at the door of the room, called Hao Yunlai to stop, and said, "It's getting cold, don't send him to the ground from tomorrow onwards, if you feel bored, just take a walk in the hall."

Hao Yunlai nodded, suddenly seemed to realize something, and his face was a little uneasy.Xiao Su didn't speak, and drove the wheelchair into the room.

Something must have happened... Xiao Su's heart beat a little faster. In fact, autumn in East Africa is not cold. Up to now, Fang Huize is only wearing a shirt. Although he is weak, he will not die when the wind blows.

The only possibility is that ELYsion is threatened with exposure.

They found it here!

At least it was found nearby!

That's why Fang Huize asked everyone to stay underground, so as not to be found by going up!

Xiao Su smiled unconsciously. He didn't know how Rongrui and the others got past Bushina's layers of defense and locked on the area of ​​the stone house. But to make Fang Huize feel like an enemy, their search must have achieved great success. Progress!

Maybe we will meet soon... Xiao Su was a little excited, walked to the bed, pulled out the mother copy he wrote silently last night from the gap under the mattress, and set it on fire.

The ashes flushed into the toilet, Xiao Su breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the table and took out the thick cardboard that Yeager gave him, opened the manuscript, and compared the characters on it to make nonsense, but in a short while, he made a dozen pages of plausible drafts come out.

After dinner, Xiao Su put all the papers in a folder and walked downstairs to the laboratory.
