"I want to … have a look at the truth."
His tone was uncertain but he plucked up his courage.
Like falling into a maze, he carefully moved forward to explore the dark passage.
Luoqiu looked at him, remaining silent for a while … This kind of gaze made Momo feel like facing the sea — When he was in Lui Village, he looked at the rising and falling of the sea, the rising and falling of the sun and the setting of the moon. It was the same feeling.
"Sure enough … it doesn't work?" Momo said disappointedly.
Luoqiu shook his head, "Mr. Momo, do you think what you see is not true?"
Momo was stunned. Ordinary people would only see it with their own eyes … but even if they saw it with their own eyes, they would be deceived … but they couldn't distinguish it clearly.
Because you are always in the truth, or you don't know whether it is true or not.
"Don't rush to make this decision." Luo Qiu looked at Momo with a thin smile on his face, which was as thin as the mist attached to the full moon, "How about listening to a story first?"
Momo nodded, "Senior, please."
"In fact, it's a very interesting short video." Luo Qiu changed to another sitting position. He put his hands on the table, closed his palms, and leaned forward slightly. He began the story, "Suddenly, one day, a scientist invented a magical cream. The story started from a press conference. At this time, there was a woman with a scar on her face on the stage. After applying this cream, she returned to her original appearance in just a few minutes. "
Momo gave a start, but didn't interrupt; he just listened carefully.
"Actually, that's not all. There are other miraculous properties of this ointment. For example, it can make people's broken limbs grow back. And it can be taken orally, so a dying person can come back to life after eating it. It can also be injected, so children with mental retardation can become smart instantly. "
"Senior … are you kidding me? Cream? "Momo couldn't help frowning.
Luoqiu didn't care about it, continuing, "The development of the cream is still going on, more functions have been developed. For example, it can turn deserts into fertile fields, turn wastelands into forests, rejuvenate old people and make wealth. It can make scrapped machines brand-new and even upgrade them. Since then, the environmental problems have been solved. The war-torn countries have welcomed peace. Diseases and hunger have become a thing of the past. In the end, the scientist even solved the problem of the production of the cream … It can be multiplied infinitely and become inexhaustible. "
Momo opened his mouth, 'Is this senior kidding me … this cream? Why don't you call it a wish machine?'
Luoqiu drank a mouthful of water to moisten his throat, "People's lives can't live without this cream. But at this time, the country and the tycoons couldn't sit. Because of the appearance of this cream, the aggressive military operations could not continue, and all online production of goods had to stop. Stock prices began to plummet, and the economy was about to collapse. "
Momo gave a start, frowning suddenly.
"Suddenly, one day, there was such a report on the news — the raw material of this magical cream was made from dead babies. There were also many immoral materials added in. After that, similar reports began to occupy all the news channels. Suddenly, people found that all the news were negative news about this cream. Some people claimed that the cream was an incurable disease soon after they used it. Some said that the cream was actually a kind of virus, and they had personally experienced it. Some countries went to war over this cream. Then came the interesting thing. The country began to ban the sale of this cream. All the vendors who sold it were arrested, and all the factories that produced the cream were demolished. All the cream on the market was destroyed. Once it's illegal to keep a hairstyle for yourself … People started to fear this cream instead of chasing it. "
"Senior, this …" Momo was dumbfounded by this absurd story.
But the story continued.
Luo Qiu's voice was so calm, like a pool of stagnant water that had lost its source and could only wait to dry up. "This scientist was later arrested. He was convicted and could never step into the laboratory again for the rest of his life. The world returned to its original state. War and famine returned to some countries. Deserts and wastelands reappeared. People were no longer rich, but the rich were still the rich. Smart people returned to their original state … The amputees could only wear prosthetics. "
"At the end of the story, we returned to the stage of the conference. But it was another product. A new cream started to appear on the market. This cream wasn't a magical cream. It didn't have so many functions. It couldn't bring the dead back to life or make people smarter. It only has one use, and that is to repair the scars on the face … But it needs to be used continuously. One treatment, two treatments, one month, two months … It can only be slowly changed … But it is effective, so the press conference was very successful, and people started to follow it. "
"The story … ends."
This story had a huge impact on Momo. Countless thoughts flashed in his head … His face even paled. His Dao heart that had been polished to perfection seemed to be about to shatter at any moment.
His voice trembled as he asked, "Senior … is this cream the truth?"
Luoqiu said indifferently, "It's just a story."
"Senior, I …"
"Don't rush to make a choice." Luoqiu waved his hand, letting the surrounding darkness recede.
Everything returned to its original state. Miss Maid and Nero were still at the side. Nero imitated Miss Maid's submissive look, but she would scratch the itchy place on her back or yawn from time to time.
Under Momo's complicated gaze, Luoqiu stood up, "If you want to come, you can come. No one can stop you. But I hope you know what you want to buy next time you come. "
Momo was just sitting but he felt everything was far away from him — He was just sitting but the chair seemed to be moving, infinitely distancing him from Luoqiu, Miss Maid and Nero.
He started to lose sight of them. He was pulled to a very far place and the surrounding turned into endless darkness.
Momo opened his eyes abruptly. He was surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness. He was back in the thick fog near the Crouching Dragon Villa.
…
…
During the day, Ren Ziling was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
She had drunk quite a lot last night, and after meeting Leng Feng again, she happily drank some more. Therefore, after being woken up, Ren Ziling felt an unbearable headache, her stomach churned, and her mouth was dry.
She really wanted to die …
Ren Ziling opened the door while scratching her feathery hair. Seeing Lizi, she yawned and leaned against the door frame, "If you don't give me a proper reason, I'll stew you with rock candy."
"Oh, you're indeed the goddess of the editorial department! You look so pretty even without makeup! "Lizi's eyes shone with the desire to survive.
"I heard lotus seeds are more compatible with pears with rock candy?" Ren Ziling pinched Lizi's cheek.
"No! Sister Ren, look outside!! "
"Outside?" Ren Ziling gave a start.
She frowned and walked to the window. Pulling the curtains open, she saw that it was already a vast expanse of white outside. The entire town had unknowingly been completely shrouded in a thick fog.
Lizi was turning on the lights in the room back and forth, but the room was still dark. "Look, there's a power outage and there's no signal on the phone. We've really experienced the life in the disaster area. "
Ren Ziling quickly combed her messy hair back with her fingers and said in surprise, "What's going on? Didn't they say that the fog would spread here in two or three days? How did it spread all the way here overnight? "
Lizi shook her head and thought for a while, "Maybe the fog swelled because of drugs?"
Ren Ziling rolled her eyes and frowned, "Where's Yakiko?"
"She's packing." Lizi said quickly, "Didn't you say that Major Leng Feng would send someone to send us away this morning? So she started packing early in the morning … But in this case, do we have to leave on foot? No, will Major Leng Feng's people come back? I'm afraid it's very chaotic outside and they can't take care of us. "
Ren Ziling shook her head, "No, Leng Feng won't go back on his words … Don't be lazy, pack your things and we'll meet downstairs in ten minutes!"
…
This was a woman who could go out five minutes after waking up in the morning — so ten minutes was more than enough.
When Lizi and Yakiko came to the first floor of the hotel with their luggage, Ren Ziling had already arrived and was smoking a cigarette. She was looking at the street outside through the glass window.
The lobby of the hotel was very quiet at this time. There was not even a waiter. Ren Ziling lit some aromatherapy candles on the table.
Day and night, this was probably the feeling.
At this time, the door of the hotel was suddenly opened and a group of soldiers trotted in. They lined up in two rows and there was a path in the middle.
At this time, Leng Feng, wearing a military uniform, walked in quickly with a calm face.
Yakiko subconsciously tightened her body when she saw the soldiers coming in … Leng Feng quickly walked in front of Ren Ziling.
"Sure, Dumbo. Are you trying to intimidate me with your presence?" Ren Ziling frowned. "I said I would leave, so I will definitely leave. You don't have to scare me like this, right?"
Leng Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ren Ziling was still here. He waved his hand and gestured for Ren Ziling to sit down before he turned to the soldiers behind him and ordered, "Search!"
Two rows of soldiers rushed into each room of the hotel.
After a while, the soldiers came back.
"Sir, we didn't find anything!"
Leng Feng nodded, "I know. You go out first and guard outside."
When the soldiers went out, Ren Ziling knew something was wrong. She frowned, "Leng Feng, did something happen?"
"I'm not sure. This town will become very dangerous from now on." Leng Feng said seriously, "I can't reveal too much, but the original plan of sending you away has to be put on hold. I'll send you to the place where we're stationed for protection. "
"We can't leave this place?" The one who spoke was Ya Kiko. She asked in surprise … But she felt that her question was inappropriate, so she panicked and closed her mouth.
Leng Feng was not angry because Ya Kiko was Ren Ziling's companion. "It depends. If possible, I'll evacuate you as soon as possible. In fact, it'll be more dangerous if we leave now. "
Ren Ziling pulled Leng Feng aside and whispered, "Dumbo, what happened? I know what I can write and what I can't write … But I don't like to be unclear. "
Leng Feng hesitated for a moment, then pulled Ren Ziling a few steps away and said, "There's something here that's attacking people. In the morning, we found a lot of corpses. Their blood was drained, and their bodies were like ice. "
"What?!"
Leng Feng nodded. "The fog suddenly intensified early in the morning. It turned out that the first escort team was trapped, but when we arrived, almost all of them were dead. Only one of them survived, but he went crazy and said that he saw a man-eating monster. "
"There's really a monster?" Ren Ziling bit her thumbnail in shock — Leng Feng was not the type to joke, but this was too unbelievable.
"We can't be sure, but it's something." Leng Feng's expression was grave as he said, "Actually, we discovered something last night … Last night, I left in a hurry because I received a report. In the back alley of the bar where you were drinking, several corpses were found. Their deaths were almost the same as those of the first batch of soldiers and civilians who were evacuated. "
"From the morning until now … there are more corpses?" Ren Ziling asked with uncertainty.
Leng Feng took a deep breath and nodded, "There are more corpses … Now, even we don't dare to act rashly, let alone leave."
Ren Ziling frowned, looking at Leng Feng, "You just came here with a team … Don't you care about anything else?"
"The soldiers from the army are all in town. Before we came here, we've already rescued dozens of people. What are you thinking about?"
"Okay." Ren Ziling nodded, "Just do what you need to do. I'll go back to your station with you now."
…
Although Ya Kiko didn't look at them, she was trying hard to hear something … She glanced at her but didn't say anything.
She was still mindlessly eating the snacks she got from the counter of the hotel, but she also heard every word of the conversation between Ren Ziling and Leng Feng.
