Chapter 117 You Came Faster Than I Expected
Xiao Zhen said to the intercom at the door: "Excuse me, is Fan Yingjie home?"
Click, the talker was hung up.
It seemed that the person inside didn't want to see him at all.
"Are you... Yan Zhen?" a question came from behind him.
Xiao Zhen turned around and saw a middle-aged woman standing behind him asking questions. She was graceful and elegant, and looked somewhat similar to Fan Yingjie in the photo.
"Hello, are you Fan Yingjie's mother? Hello, Auntie." Xiao Zhen greeted the middle-aged woman politely. He showed her a few tutoring books in his hand, "Teacher Feng asked me to give some tutoring books to Fan Yingjie."
"Okay, okay." Fan's mother nodded, took out the key from her bag and opened the door.
(Take me to see Fan Yingjie.)
After releasing the information hint, Xiao Zhen followed calmly.
"Yingjie has been staying at home all the time. His father and I are very worried." Fan's mother said politely, "It's really great that you can come to see him. I'll call Yingjie out right away."
Xiaozhen and Fan's mother walked into the living room. The sound of someone running up the stairs was heard, followed by a door closing with a bang.
Mother Fan smiled awkwardly, took the tutorial book from Xiao Zhen, asked Xiao Zhen to wait in the living room downstairs, and went upstairs. After a while, Xiao Zhen heard the voices of Mother Fan and a boy talking upstairs.
"Yingjie, your classmates are here to see you. Look, this is a book they brought for you."
“…”
"Yingjie, you should at least come out and meet some people. Your classmate Yan Zhen came to visit you specially."
"No!! I don't want to see him!!!"
"Yingjie???"
Bang! There was the sound of a door closing again.
Fan's mother came downstairs, looking apologetic. "I'm sorry, this child..." Her expression froze on her face. Xiao Zhen sent her a hint of "Let Yan Zhen go and persuade Fan Yingjie", which was almost coercive. Fan's mother nodded and made way for the stairs.
Xiaozhen went upstairs, came to Fan Yingjie's door and pushed it open.
Fan Yingjie was sitting in front of the computer with headphones on. He turned around and stared at Xiaozhen in disbelief.
"Fan Yingjie, Teacher Feng asked me to come and see you."
"Yan Zhen..." He stared at Xiao Zhen blankly, his eyes red. Xiao Zhen felt like he was about to cry. Then the boy suddenly shouted, "Don't come over here!! Don't come over here!!" His voice was very sharp, just like Yan Zhen in front of him was a monster. "Don't come over here!!!"
"…I'm Yan Zhen, Fan Yingjie, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't come over here!! Don't come over here!" Fan Yingjie shouted, his face turned pale, his pupils trembled violently, and his mouth continued to shout, as if his angry shout could repel the uninvited guest in front of him.
He was really scared. But why?
Xiao Zhen extended his invisible tentacles of consciousness.
It was like being caught in a violent storm, with raindrops violently drilling into his eyes. In the chaotic vision, Xiao Zhen found himself standing in a void space with nothing but heavy rain and strong wind. Rustle. Zizizi. The whistling of the wind was mixed with the noise of electronic interference. He walked forward, and the rain was like a knife tip, constantly piercing his skin and clothes. The voices of crying people sometimes echoed, and sometimes were silent, and the distorted synthetic audio was intermittent. Everything was a discordant noise that did not exist in nature. That was the fear in the human heart.
What exactly is Fan Yingjie afraid of?
Even in the mental world where emotions are embodied, the specific fragmented consciousness of human beings is not easy to understand.
Then he saw a small wooden house. In the midst of the storm, only the windows of the house emitted a soft and warm light.
It is the only light in this mental world.
The rain soaked Xiao Zhen's clothes, and he felt cold and wet. Naturally, he walked to the cabin. According to the cabin's specifications, it had two mismatched wooden doors. There were patterns engraved on the wooden doors, and the red copper door knockers were shining. Xiao Zhen took a look and felt that the pattern was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment. The two wooden doors were more like the gates of a magnificent castle or luxurious palace that did not belong to this era, rather than a cabin.
He pushed open the door.
It's like the opening of a play, the curtain draws back.
Light filled his vision.
The flames in the fireplace licked the wood. Unlike the cold outside, the cabin was warm as spring.
Fan Yingjie sat at the table in the middle of the room, looking sideways at someone. There were two men and two women beside the table, and one of the boys was standing and talking. He had slightly curly black hair and sharp, shining eyes. When his eyes swept over the audience, the audience would be involuntarily infected by his enthusiastic confidence and unconsciously convinced by him.
The boy turned to look at Xiao Zhen who was standing at the door. He smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, everyone will be fine."
His smile seemed to carry a strange glow, illuminating everyone in the room.
Yan Zhen.
Xiaozhen hasn't pronounced the name yet.
The cabin began to collapse. A tornado, a sudden hurricane.
Like a transition.
The wooden house fell apart, the beams collapsed, and the remaining furnishings in the house screamed in the ravages of the storm. The boys and girls disappeared along with the storm.
Only Fan Yingjie stayed where he was. He lowered his head and sat in the wreckage of the wooden house. There were loud and chaotic noises roaring all around.
"Fan Yingjie, are you okay?" Xiao Zhen came to his side.
Fan Yingjie raised his head, his eyes wide open, full of eager anticipation, "Yan Zhen..."
Xiao Zhen nodded: "It's me, what happened to you?"
"No!! You are not him!" Fan Yingjie suddenly shouted. "You are not him!! You are not him! Get out of here!" He held his head and screamed. This shrill cry brought a bolt of lightning, which fell from the sky and hit Xiaozhen directly.
"What on earth happened to you?" Xiao Zhen asked him. But Fan Yingjie's mind seemed to be driven away by the world, with light and electricity burning his whole body, and the current of sorrow rolling in his consciousness. "You..."
“Get lost!”
A forced eviction.
He returned to reality.
He was standing in Fan Yingjie's room. Fan Yingjie was hiding in a corner of the room, screaming in fear and begging him to leave.
The rejection reaction was really shocking.
Xiao Zhen had to release a hypnotic shock wave to force the boy into a sleeping state.
But no matter how hard he tried, Fan Yingjie's mind was filled with nothingness and fear of the storm. Xiao Zhen tried to find his most recent memory, but all he could see was the remains of the wooden house, and some electronic interference and the sound of people crying echoing in the howling of the storm.
Human emotions are complex and delicate, and even the slightest exploration carries risks. If Fan Yingjie were to go deeper, his brain would be irreversibly damaged.
Xiao Zhen retracted the tentacles of consciousness.
Don't be anxious, there will be plenty of time later.
" Have a good sleep first." Xiao Zhen said to the sleeping Fan Yingjie and closed the door.
Xiao Zhen walked down the stairs, and Fan's mother stood up anxiously, "Yan Zhen, I seemed to hear Yingjie crying just now. What happened to him?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. Fan Yingjie is just a little depressed. He will get better slowly." Xiao Zhen said, "I will come to see him again."
Inside the abandoned factory.
The three people and the chicken were looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Has this smuggler been eaten?"
"It seems so."
Zhang Fei said, "We still have to steal the target item, right?"
Guan Yu said: "Although that is what I said, but..."
"But what?"
"Do you really believe that this smuggler was accidentally eaten by his own guard pet?"
Zhang Fei scratched his head and said in confusion: "Isn't it?"
"Fendel has always been a little famous. He has been doing this dangerous business of walking on spider silk for hundreds of years. He has dealt with countless big guys and handled countless dangerous contraband. Do you think... such a person will fall because of the slime monster he raised?"
“Life is full of surprises.”
"Brother, you almost did the same as him just now."
Liu Bei stared at Zhang Fei for a while. He sighed as if giving up.
Captain Madara said, "In any case, we still have to go to the office upstairs to take a look."
So the three of them and the chicken continued to move forward. This time they did not encounter any new defensive monsters. The factory was dark and silent, and the empty space echoed with their cautious footsteps. Thanks to Captain Madara's cracking of the intelligent security system, they were not troubled by traps.
They walked all the way to the finished product area, went up the stairs, and cracked the security code for the third floor. Then the three of them and the chicken pushed open the door of the office.
Unlike the dim factory, the office was surprisingly bright. The once luxurious office was now in a mess. All the cabinets and drawers were turned upside down. There was a big hole in the ceiling of the office, as if it had been blasted open by some kind of artillery fire. Bright sunlight poured in without hesitation. A person was sitting on the boss's desk in the middle of the office.
He crossed his legs and waved at the three people and one chicken who were coming towards him. "Hi~!"
A black humanoid shadow, with long greasy black hair, pale skin like a corpse, and sharp features. He was like the darkest night, a ghost in the darkness, he sat on the table and smiled at them.
"You guys arrived faster than I thought."
Captain Madara felt the fear. Not only his own, but also the three people beside him.
Even dangerous objects have different .
But the human-like creature in front of him was on a completely different level.
That was a completely crushing monster.
There is absolutely no chance of winning, absolutely not. This was the thought that came into my mind the first time I saw him.
It was the fear of a being far superior to oneself. It was the body's spontaneous response.
This is not a monster they can deal with.
A black grim reaper.
Just looking at him directly would make you feel short of breath. This is a protective mechanism for creatures facing dangerous creatures that are much stronger than themselves.
He just sat at the table, but it seemed as if a deep shadow covered the entire room.
Liu, Guan and Zhang stared at him in silence.
The fact that they didn't turn around and run away immediately was enough to prove the courage of these three people.
Sharktooth. Captain Madara silently recited the name in his mind.
One of the most fearsome wanted criminals in the Federation of Galactic Civilization in recent years. His notoriety is known to everyone in the Federation of Galactic Civilization. Some say that at least a million lives have been lost at his hands. The tragedy in Quenate City is closely related to him.
But why does this person appear here?
The night-like death spoke: "Why is there a chicken here?"
Captain Madara suddenly felt a sense of weakness.
