Chapter 127

After staying at the altar for a long time, these people have become accustomed to doing things quickly in reality, because their free time is extremely limited.

So under Zhong Yirou's suggestion, they moved without hesitation.

"There are still a lot of addresses on the list, so let's divide them into three groups."

As soon as Zhong Yirou finished speaking, Wu You spoke directly, "I want to be with Brother Wu Jiu."

Zhong Yirou smiled and hugged his shoulders, "Brother, you follow the Taoist brother. You can see that he is very reliable. If you encounter any monsters and ghosts along the way, you are the safest among us."

Wu You stared at Zhong Yirou with drooping eyes, her expression seemed to say "do you really think I'm a child".

Shen Ti directly pulled An Wujiu to his side, "I and Wujiu, the Taoist priest and the little ghost head, the beautiful woman and the beautiful woman are perfect."

An Wu Jiu is very grateful, looking for his sister is not really important to them, but now they have to sacrifice their precious time to help him.

"Thank you." An Wujiu said in a low voice.

"Thank you for what?" Zhong Yirou brushed her curly hair, "you thank us, then you dragged and dragged our lives to the present. Do we have to thank you every day? Don't think too much, we are all friends. "

Um.

An Wujiu responded in his heart.

He is very fortunate that he now has such a group of companions who have been born and died. Without them, without Shen Ti, he seems to be unable to recover into a mentally sound person so quickly.

"Then let's go." Nan Shan said, "Let's start early, maybe we can find it all in one day."

An Wujiu suddenly thought of Noah, so he looked towards the bedroom, "Noah, just let her rest at home, let's leave a message for her."

When everyone left the apartment, An Wu Jiu told Zhong Yirou about Noah's coughing and vomiting blood.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhong Yirou was a little surprised, "I should have shown her, why did she vomit blood."

"Come back and talk about it." An Wu Jiu thought for a while, "She doesn't seem to want us to know, maybe there is something unspeakable."

It is not easy to find a girl who has not seen for many years in such a large area. Even these locations are just a record made by the police a long time ago, and they are not completely time-sensitive. Maybe someone will move in the middle of it, and there is no contact information. This primitive way of looking for a needle is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

According to the addresses on the list, An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti went to look for them from place to place. They first came to an underground second-hand market near the city center, where they mainly sold cheap prosthetics or second-hand equipment. Very poor, the only light source in the dark basement is various billboards, like a closed trash can stuffed with all kinds of glow sticks.

As soon as they entered, their field of vision was filled with all kinds of vulgar advertisements, and the rest was pitch black, and they couldn't see the so-called house number at all.

"Oh." The man was wearing a strange exoskeleton, and he felt that the material would shatter when touched, he pointed to a corner not far away, "Turn from there, yes, that's right, right there, and then You just have to walk through ten more shops like mine, turn right, turn left after you get to the next corner..."

Shen Ti felt a pain in his head, "Why don't you take us there."

The man's tone changed suddenly, "Then I can't just help you like this, I'll take you there, what about my store..."

Shen Ti casually grabbed a piece of retail merchandise that he had laid out. He couldn't even see what it was, and said directly to him: "It's not worth letting you lead the way." He pointed casually, "I bought all of them."

The boss suddenly changed his face again, and enthusiastically packed all these boxes into a bag for him. After Shen Ti made the payment, he quickly came out and took the two to that house number.

On the way, An Wujiu asked him, "Is there always so few people here?"

The boss shook his head, under the extremely saturated cyan and red light, An Wu Jiu saw that his right prosthetic eye was blue, different from the brown on the left.

"Don't look at so many closed doors now, in fact, it was very lively here before." The boss said to them, "You know, these things are in demand, and there are too many poor people now. It's just that there has been some trouble recently. , so there are a lot fewer people."

An Wujiu asked again, "What's the trouble?"

They turned a corridor, and the boss asked him mysteriously, "Did you see the commotion in front of the municipal building today?"

Shen Ti smiled, "It's not a good habit to answer questions with questions."

The boss cleared his throat, "Okay, let me tell you straight, I don't know if you have seen it, the people who made troubles and parades today are like crazy, in fact, this is not the first time, we have appeared in this second-hand market. Several times, people came to make trouble, and they made trouble in the city on the street. Later, Tiaozi came over and arrested a few people and went back to question them, but it seems that they didn't find out why, so let's just forget about it."

"I didn't expect that there will be more and more cases like this. I heard..." He lowered his voice, "It seems that those people have implanted prosthetics that will make people fall into evil, big and small, all kinds, Hearing this made me nervous, for fear that I would also get sick." He then covered his eyes in fear.

“Then what?” An Wujiu asked, “The police are here again?”

"Yeah, after that, a large number of people were arrested. At the beginning, they said that they would close the business to rectify the entire market, but you know how much power they have. In the end, it was changed to shut down all those who sell second-hand prosthetics. If I sell it again, it’s fine, I’ll sell some gadgets, otherwise I’ll be implicated.”

Shen Ti, who was silent, asked at this time, "When was the first time that kind of thing happened?"

"You said someone went crazy?" The boss thought for a while, "It's been a long time, at least three or four months ago, we don't know if it's the first time here, or it's using nanorobots outside. Do you? Who knows who comes first."

An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti looked at each other.

They met at the altar for only three months, and such a thing happened three months ago, or maybe even earlier, they can't trace the origin to the first one.

An Wujiu always has an ominous premonition, from the dormant period to the small outbreak period, this is like a virus infection, but the infection route has become a prosthetic body, nano-robots and other technological products that can enter the human body, these are contaminated The thing is like a parasite, and the implanted body can't resist at all, even voluntarily.

And those of them at the altar are desperate for their own life and death, and they are completely unaware of the "infection" of the real world. They seem to be divided into two camps.

One group is the infected and controlled believers, and the other group is the sacrifices who are deeply trapped in the altar.

Such an illusion made An Wu Jiu feel chills all over himself.

"It's here, it's here." The boss said to the two of them, "You're lucky, the one you're looking for really hasn't closed."

The boss greeted him and planned to leave, An Wu Jiu nodded his thanks to him and turned to look at the shop.

The advertising lights and signs here are colorful and seem to be homemade, with some layers of gauze curtains, there is a sense of mystery with a little punk. At first, they didn't see where the shopkeeper was, until An Wujiu noticed a pair of feet, only to find that the man was lying on a reclining chair in the corner, covered by a black blanket from head to toe, only revealing a pair of feet wearing leather boots.

An Wujiu walked in, but he was too tall, and accidentally bumped into the wind chimes made by the other party with various metal scraps, making a sound, An Wujiu immediately raised his hand to catch it, and subconsciously looked back at Shen Ti.

Shen Ti smiled, "It's too low, I can't even get in."

The owner of the shop who was lying asleep was awakened, and a head emerged from the blanket. She looked at the person, and after she could see that they were two extremely rare handsome guys, she immediately stood up and straightened her clothes.

Her hair was dyed purple, and her lip and nose studs gleamed in the dim light.

An Wu Jiu carefully observed her appearance and found that she was the person they were looking for, but indeed, he was not similar to his sister.

"What do you two handsome guys need?" She opened her arms and held her hands crampedly, "I'm here...I don't know if there is anything you want."

An Wu Jiu made a long story short, "Sorry, we are actually looking for someone. Excuse me, how many people are there in your family, do you have any siblings?"

This question was a bit strange, so the girl opposite was also stunned, "Well..."

She leaned over a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Aren't you the police?"

Shen Ti laughed, "Yes, he is the police flower."

An Wujiu turned his head, "Don't talk nonsense."

He turned his face and said to the girl, "I want to find someone who is very important to me, so I want to ask, you don't need to tell me too specific information, I just want to ask, no malice."

It may be that the handsome guy's face is too convincing, even if it is such a strange statement, the other party still accepts it.

"Okay." She said very frankly, "I have a younger sister and a younger brother in my family. I am the eldest. My father died of too many drugs. Hit me, I ran away, and now I don't know where she is, and I don't know if she's still alive."

An Wu Jiu can't deny that he was a little disappointed, but he also felt sorry for the girl's family in front of him, feeling that he had opened up other people's scars, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

On the contrary, Shen Ti came up, and because he tilted his head, he deliberately used a very slick language to inquire: "You look so good-looking, this face must be the original one."

"Of course." The other party raised his chin proudly, "Aren't you?"

"That's right, I'm not. I've processed it seventy-eight times before and after. Have you seen my eyes?" Shen Ti leaned closer. Under the light, his eyes were green and faint, like the pupils of some kind of beast. .

"So beautiful, can it be fake?"

"Yes, it's precious." Shen Ti smiled and said it as if it was true.

"I didn't expect it." The other party was a little surprised, "It's good to have money."

Shen Ti asked again, "Are you born here?"

"Yeah," she replied casually. "I've lived for several blocks since I was born, and it's like a mouse digging a hole, you know. But I haven't left City F for so many years."

Shen Ti's neck was sore, so he leaned his head on An Wu Jiu's shoulder, looked at her, "I think you have a good memory."

"You're right, I remember very clearly about one or two years old."

After asking this casual question, An Wu Jiu basically has a bottom line in his heart, the other party was born in this city, has no older brother, is the biggest one in the family, has not undergone plastic surgery, and is not in line with each other in every way.

They didn't talk too much, An Wu Jiu was kind and bought some things from her, then the two left.

Coming out of the basement and returning to the ground, the cruel sunlight made him look like a deformed fish that lived in the deep sea all year round.

The first goal ended in failure.

Similar situations, the two met six times a day.

They found a waitress in a Chinese restaurant. She had a broken leg. She had never seen her biological parents since she was a child, which was very distressing. There was also a girl who eloped here for her lover. Brother, but only drinking and beating people, is still in jail.

In addition, there are homeless people, cleaners and bar singers without jobs.

Most of them live in poverty, embarrassment and hardship, or even unable to live a good life. After asking them one by one, An Wujiu's heart gradually turned cold. He thought that there was little hope, because if the others had a clue, they wouldn't have had any contact by now. Presumably they, like himself, have not found any suspects. .

An Wu Jiu actually had some expectations, he knew that it would not be so easy to find his sister, he could find it as soon as he looked for it, but he still had very little hope, expecting her to appear on this list.

By the time the last man came out of the house, it was late, and night fell from a noise of light pollution, and the city became bizarre again, regaining its man-made vitality.

There were some raindrops in the sky, and the two of them didn't care at first, but then the rain became heavier and heavier, mixed with the indelible smell of chemical raw materials.

"Let's find a place to stay." Shen Ti took An Wu Jiu's hand and led him through the rain to the eaves.

They randomly found a restaurant to fill their stomachs, and planned to continue their search for a while, but when they finished eating, it was already raining heavily outside the glass, and the rainwater was like a polluted river flowing through this glass plain.

The weather forecast was playing in the restaurant, and they knew it would rain all night.

"Don't go." An Wu Jiu looked at the rain outside the window and said to Shen Ti.

"Then go back?" Shen Ti asked.

An Wu Jiu turned his face, those dazzling lights fell on his face through the soft rain, making this face extremely beautiful and moving. There are disappointments and sadness in his eyes, but An Wujiu is a very strange person, the more painful he is, the better he looks.

"By the way." Shen Ti saw the two bags on the deck on his side, "Today we carried these two bags all the way, and we didn't have time to open them to see what we bought."

An Wu Jiu also remembered, he looked up.

Shen Ti said to him coquettishly, "Come here and sit."

Seeing his expression, An Wu Jiu thought that he should not be the only person in the world who eats his way, after all he is so good-looking.

An Wujiu sat over, Shen Ti handed him the things he bought from the girl, and put his pile of boxes on his lap.

An Wu Jiu lowered his head and opened the bag he brought from the girl, what was inside was actually some small handicrafts, it seemed to be very thoughtful, even though the materials might be recycled.

"It's quite cute." An Wu Jiu picked up a small electronic dog, turned to look at Shen Ti, "What did you buy?"

The second-hand market was too dark, and the two of them were completely uncomfortable. They bought it without seeing anything. Now, there is more joy in opening the blind box.

The things in Shen Ti's bag were all wrapped in boxes, so it wasn't easy to see them directly, so he had to unpack the things one by one.

As soon as he took the first one apart, his face was as green as his eyes.

“What is this?” An Wu Jiu leaned over to look at it, only to think that it was weird, it looked like…

Some kind of reproductive organ is very similar.

"What is he selling?" Shen Ti wanted to put the thing back, but he accidentally pressed a button that he didn't know where it was, and the cylinder in his hand moved.

Shen Ti subconsciously cursed out, trying to find the switch of this thing, An Wu Jiu was stunned for a while, and immediately followed after the reaction, the two of them were in a hurry. A male waiter passed by, his eyes widened a bit, and the dining plate blocked the two of them.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to stop this thing, An Wujiu was sweating on his forehead, he caught a glimpse of Shen Ti's ears, they were red and very cute. So he stretched out his hand and touched his ear.

Shen Ti was startled and turned to look at him like an animal.

"It turned out to be selling this. No wonder his lamp is so strange." An Wujiu withdrew his hand and asked Shen Ti, "Are you still watching?"

"Do you still need it?" Shen Ti put away the tool and tossed the bag aside, "I don't have this knowledge anymore, and I don't need it."

An Wu Jiu, who had not laughed all day, laughed at this time, and the more he laughed, the happier he became.

Shen Ti, who was holding his cheek, glanced at him, thinking that this is good, he didn't expect to coax him so easily.

"Let's not go back tonight." An Wu Jiu laughed enough, pointed his index finger to the ceiling, "There seems to be a hotel upstairs, I saw a billboard when I came in."

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, beat a drum in his heart, and only said a word for a long time.

"You don't really want to use these..."

An Wu Jiu smiled, "I don't have this hobby."

He reached out and grabbed Shen Ti's dangling earrings, "I just want to hug you, lie down and kiss you, and sleep in your arms."
