Chapter 130 The Location of the Gap
Chen Simiao seemed to have been greatly frightened.
He widened his eyes and looked at Xu Beijin in amazement.
He seemed to be yelling, but he couldn't help lowering his voice, and said in an almost threatening tone: "Why did you say that?! How could you...how could you do it?!"
"I haven't done it yet, are you saying I can't do it?" Xu Beijin asked lightly, "I want to ask you instead, why do you think I can't do it?"
Chen Simiao looked at him blankly.
It was as if he had seen a monster. He had never imagined that after so many years, humans had been trapped in the narrow building, there would be a person jumping out and saying that he could save humans.
Chen Simiao's first reaction was: it's ridiculous.
Really ridiculous.
If the guy could do it, why didn't he do it in the first place?Instead wait until now?
Now human beings are going to despair, they are going to fend for themselves in the narrow building, and then suddenly someone jumps out and says, is he going to save mankind?
That’s how the savior is. If you want to be one, you can be one, and if you don’t want to be one, then don’t be?
After being stunned for a moment, unable to laugh or laugh, Chen Simiao felt furious in an instant.
That kind of anger is not only because of Xu Beijin's calm attitude, but also because of... because of his own despicableness.
The words Xu Beijin said echoed in his ears repeatedly—why did he think he couldn't do it?
What if he could do it?If he could really do it, then why did he, Chen Simiao, stop him?
What if I told him the location of the gap?
Chen Simiao doesn't believe that any creature other than "them" can use it... No, he just doesn't believe that humans can actually use this gap.
But, tell Xu Beijin, so what?Now that we all know it's useless, isn't it the same to tell and not to tell?
He said that he thought this kind of behavior was meaningless, so there was no need to tell Xu Beijin, but...
Chen Simiao thought in a daze.
He thought he was a coward.
He didn't dare to face the truth that his student was a traitor, and he didn't dare to stand up to the group of masterminds who kept them in this damn cage.He didn't even dare to help others to resist.
Xu Beijin looked at him quietly and said: "If you say it and we succeed, then you are a great contributor; if you don't say it and we fail because of it, then you are just like your students ..."
A traitor to humanity through and through.
"To shut up!"
Chen Simiao roared furiously as if he had been touched by some pain point, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck burst out.
He didn't look like an elegant and strict doctor at all, but like a madman.
He may have this self-knowledge himself.
He simply tore off his tie and loosened the neckline.The tattered suit was already dirty, but under his torture, it looked even more messy.
He sat down on the ground, looking down at the electronic color blocks on the ground.The changing colors made his face look very cloudy and uncertain.
After a while, he said: "I have never... I have never betrayed mankind." He said sadly, "I love this race, I love the earth, I love my relatives, friends, and my students... "
"And your student never loved you. He betrayed you, he betrayed all humanity."
Chen Simiao trembled suddenly as if he had woken up from a nightmare.
He was silent.
Xu Beijin continued: "I think you understand what I mean. And you have already been shaken. Why don't you want to tell us about that gap...well, the location of that gap?"
When he uttered the last sentence, Xu Beijin felt dizzy for a while.He couldn't help coughing, and then forced himself to finish the sentence.
His face became extremely pale in an instant.
Chen Simiao didn't notice the changes in Xu Beijin at all, he was in a daze, immersed in his own thoughts.
He said in a trance and bewilderedly: "Position...location...is there any use for that?"
He didn't hear Xu Beijin's answer.
Then he was stunned for a moment, and looked up subconsciously, only to see that the man who had been forcing him to speak in a stern manner had fallen silently to the ground.
His eyes are closed, and his head rests against the electronic color-block wall, the changing light makes his complexion look strange, although it doesn't take away his handsomeness and his... frailty.
Chen Simiao was in a daze for a moment, then stood up in a panic, and walked to Xu Beijin's side. He didn't know what was wrong with this man, and he didn't dare to touch him. He hurriedly said, "What's the matter with you? Hey... Xu , Mr. Xu, you, what's wrong with you?"
He called twice, but got no response.
He thought that this man's companion would not be able to return until half an hour later, and he panicked even more for a moment.
At Chen Simiao's age, he should have been calmer and calmer, and he could have handled this matter better.
But years of being trapped in the middle of this maze had done irreparable, irreparable damage to his nerves and brain.
Many of his memories and reason have become blurred.He has become unlike a human being of his age, he has become ignorant and extreme, so at this moment, he is also in a panic, not knowing what to do.
So, Chen Simiao stared at the unconscious Xu Beijin for a moment, and murmured, "I'll tell you the location of that gap, wake up..."
He was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, "No, no, I should go to your companion. You can't hear now, can't you hear..."
He finished these few words slowly, then turned around and left the open space in the center of the maze.
Only Xu Beijin was left behind, with his brows furrowed and his face pale, leaning against the wall alone, as if he had fallen into an eternal nightmare.
Ringo felt a palpitation.
This made him stop suddenly, his face gloomy.
Accompanying him is Jia Er.From the end of the road in the middle of the maze, they went to the right.
Now they walked for about 10 minutes without meeting anyone, and Ringo stopped suddenly.
Because of Ringo's inexplicable control of the direction in the maze before, Jia Er can be said to trust Ringo's opinion very much now. Seeing that Ringo stopped suddenly, he asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
The feeling was fleeting, but some uneasy intuition was warning frantically.
Ringo was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to describe this feeling.But then, he gave up and turned around without hesitation.
He didn't even say a word to Jia Er, his figure flew past Jia Er like a gust of wind.
Jia Er was stunned, and hurried to follow.But he couldn't keep up with Ringo's magical speed at all.
However, he also had an estimate of Ringo's state of mind - who could make Lingo show such an urgent and anxious expression?
Of all the people in the maze, only Xu Bei had this possibility.
Jia Er thought of Xu Beijin who was staying with Chen Simiao, and panicked in his heart.what happened?
Why did Ringo suddenly turn around and go back there?Did something happen to Xu Beijin?
With this feeling of anxiety, Jia Er returned to the center of the maze.Here, he saw Chen Simiao fell to the side sadly, as if he was thrown by someone.
Jia Er took another look at Lin Po and the unconscious Xu Beijin in his arms, and probably understood what happened.
Perhaps Xu Beijin passed out, and then Chen Simiao wanted to go out to find someone. On the way, he ran into Lingo who happened to be walking back, and was carried back to the center of the maze by the latter.
Jia Er looked at Chen Simiao's face, and found that he was looking at Ringo with a little fear and puzzlement in his eyes, and he confirmed his guess in his heart.
But the problem now is not this...
The question is, Xu Beijin, what's wrong?
Ringo was also thinking about this question.
Xu Beijin fell into a coma, but it was more like a nightmare.
His brows were furrowed and he was sweating profusely.He muttered something in his mouth, but he couldn't hear it at all.
Ringo was anxious, irritable, and worried. All kinds of emotions were complicated and difficult to distinguish. What made him even more bewildered was a feeling of powerlessness.
He can only watch the one he loves suffer, and he can't even share it for him.
He looked at Xu Beijin, and his gaze gradually changed slightly.
He has always been a mad dog, Xu Beijin should know this.It's just that if Xu Bei is all there, Lingo is willing to cover himself up a bit.
Lingo was just thinking, if this nightmare is over, will Xu Beijin wake up from here?
He was really thinking about this idea seriously.
Jia Er looked at Lin Po's face in fear, always feeling that something terrible was about to happen.He looked at Xu Beijin again, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that he would wake up quickly.
Xu Bei was dreaming.
What a ridiculous thing to dream in a nightmare.But he was indeed dreaming.
He could feel an inexplicable warmth covering his body, real warmth, as if someone was hugging him in reality.
He thought he was going to wake up.
But, just for a moment, let him immerse himself in this dream.Just this moment.
The dream is his past.
He once told Ringo that he inherited his family's bookstore after graduating from university.
indeed so.It was a bookstore in a small town, and the business was not very good.However, Xu Beijin only wants to spend his days idle, and has little need for money.
His life was like a pool of stagnant water—different from the stagnant water in the narrow building, he was free at that time.
Travel if you want to travel, and fish if you want to salt fish.Unlike now, he has to force himself to salt fish all day long.
Is there any big difference between forcing yourself to salt fish and forcing yourself to work?
In short, Xu Beijin lived a very leisurely life before the apocalypse.
The second elder in his family is more chic than him, traveling around the world all day long, and doesn't even care about his son at home.
Of course, the situation changed in an instant.
end……
If these two words are just on the lips, or even often on the lips, then sometimes people will ignore their power and think that this thing is ordinary and nothing more than that.
They will not think that this thing will really happen, they will only think that this is a legendary thing, under the exaggeration and boasting passed down from generation to generation, it has become some kind of blurred real color... a kind of bragging product.
So when the doomsday really happened, no one realized that it was the doomsday.
The taskers in the narrow building know that this is the end, because they look back from this moment, of course they can understand this.But at first, no one knew.
They just feel that there are more lunatics around them, more murders in the news, more quarrels in the neighborhood, more serious traffic jams, and more sick people in hospitals. Suffering has also increased a lot.
That's all.
And even so, it is hard for people to imagine that this is a doomsday.
Who would have thought it was the end?That is the life they are used to, a little variable change in the life they are used to, that's all.
They don't think it's the end, they don't even think their lives have changed.
They just think, oops, why are there so many idiots in the world.
Then they chatted casually after dinner, and changed the topic casually.
Things just changed a little bit.
The time when Xu Beijin learned of his parents' death was probably in the winter of that year.His parents went somewhere a little southerly and warmer for the winter.
He said he was going to come back during the Chinese New Year, but it seemed that he would not come back because he couldn't buy a plane ticket.
Xu Bei thought as bored as possible at the time, then it seems that there is no need to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which becomes more and more boring every year, right?Anyway, my parents are not at home...
Then, he could never see it again.
At that moment, he thought, what does life and death mean?He is always separated from his parents and doesn't seem to have any definite feeling.His parents were always far away from him, maybe on the other side of the world.
At this moment, they are on the other side of the world.
Now Xu Beijin's dream is replaying a similar scene.Winter, snow, news of his parents' death.
However, Xu Beijin felt as if he was watching all this condescendingly and indifferently.
why?
Because he can't remember.
Everyone thought that he still remembered what happened in the last days, that he had related memories, that he "remembered" everything that happened from the spread of madness to the entry of humans into the narrow building.
They thought he "remembered" the past of this man named Xu Beijin.
But actually he doesn't remember.
He just "knows".Unlike other taskers who have no concept of their past, Xu Bei clearly "knows" what happened in his past.However, he doesn't have any sense of substitution or picture.
Of course, his memory was also broken at the moment before the end.It was an ordinary afternoon, he was lying on the recliner reading a book, his parents rarely came back, and they were discussing where to spend this winter downstairs.
Then, memory breakpoints.A huge, dark abyss lay in his brain.
Then there are the things he knows.Trivial, complicated, disgusting.There were his own and others'.He always remembers these, and he cannot forget them.
But sometimes he thinks, is that really his experience?
He really received the news of his parents' death in a snowy winter?Is that exactly what happened?
And what about the others in his memory?Is this true of their past?
When he says that "memory can sometimes be a curse," he doesn't mean just about his own past, but what he remembers about other people's past that he "knows" about.
These memories always make Xu Beijin feel a huge sense of despair and helplessness like falling into an abyss.
If it was true, then he could not save everything.
And if it is false, then what is real?
He quietly looked at the illusory, dream-like scene in front of him, which flashed like a revolving lantern.
He suddenly felt a little strange, after all, his "past", which he didn't know at all, could be so vividly interpreted in his brain.
At this moment, a special idea suddenly popped up in his heart.
He thought, is he going to die?
Didn't you say that people have hallucinations before they die?The fragments of the past life will flash back in front of you bit by bit like a revolving lantern.In the moment of death, look back.
However, Xu Beijin suddenly laughed.
He wasn't really laughing, he just felt some uncontrollable, maniacal laughter creeping through his head, feeling like he was being amused by something.What exactly is that?
He actually didn't know too well.He just finds it ridiculous and funny, sad and bitter.
So he thought he should smile.
Then he thought of what Ringo said.
"If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh."
So that kind of smile was as strange as when it came, and it was just as quick when it went.
There was a subtle indifference in his heart, like a lucid dream.He thought he should wake up.
But he couldn't wake up.
He seemed to be trapped by something, by something... for a long time...
In the narrow building, what could trap him?
So Xu Beijin suddenly understood.He seemed to really speak, or just muttered in his heart: "NE. Let me go. Let me solve all this."
It seemed that some vague thoughts rose from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to think about those things, he just said: "Let, me, leave, leave."
He was conscious that, like a veil brushed and pulled from his cheeks, something seemed to leave his brain.The next second, he opened his eyes.
Lin Po was about to go on a killing spree, but he suddenly noticed that Xu Beijin had opened his eyes.
At the same time, he heard Xu Beijin say in a very dull and painful voice: "Damn NE..."
"Ne?" Lingo subconsciously asked back, and then he quickly said, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"
"Little Apple?" Xu Beijin seemed to have realized only now that Lin Po was here, "How could you...forget it. It's your wonderful intuition again. I'm fine, don't worry."
Ringo breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again.
Also at the side, Jiaer, who was relieved because Xu Beijin woke up, when he heard the name "little apple", he hated himself for not plugging his ears just now.
Boss, there's no need to talk about your private fun on this occasion, right?
But what can Jia Er do?Why don't you move your steps silently, stay away from them, and put Chen Simiao in prison by the way, so that this guy won't run out again.
Neither Xu Beijin nor Lin Po paid attention to Jiaer's movements.
Lin Po looked at Xu Beijin suspiciously, and said, "Is it all right? You fainted!"
Xu Beijin was speechless, knowing that he was in the wrong, he hurriedly comforted his little apple: "Don't worry, it was an accident. It's..."
He hesitated for a moment, "It's NE, maybe it made me faint."
"NE?" Lingo asked strangely, "But, didn't they say that NE is on our side?"
Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "It's... hard to say. It may be helping us, but it may not really be on the side of humans."
Ringo frowned in confusion.
This time it was Xu Beijin's turn to smooth the wrinkles between his brows.
Xu Beijin's voice was gentle and slightly hoarse. He stared intently at Lingo and said sincerely: "Trust me, Lino. I won't lie to you. I really have nothing to do. It was just an accident. I I swear it won't happen next time."
He didn't lie to Lingo, he always thought that the drowsiness and stupor that came upon him was something he could bear, and it was like that when he was in the gray fog.
Therefore, he was really caught off guard just now, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
Lingo muttered, "It's only fooling me..." He didn't dwell on this matter any longer, but said, "But, I won't leave your side again."
Xu Beijin looked at Jia Er with some embarrassment.
Jia Er was about to speak, but suddenly there were some conversations outside.They looked at each other, waited for a while, and found that it was Mu Jiashi and others who found the other four taskers, and returned here together with Fei and Wu Jian.
They were communicating with each other about the information they had obtained, and He Shujun and the others exclaimed because of the information that Mu Jiashi and the others discovered.
When they walked around the corner and found several people standing in the center of the maze, they couldn't help being surprised.
Mu Jiashi said in surprise: "You have come back? We didn't find you outside, and we still want to come back here and wait..."
As he spoke, he stopped.
He saw that Xu Beijin was still half leaning against the wall, with a deep tiredness in his expression.And Lingo knelt beside him on one knee, half embracing him.
Mu Jiashi's face quickly became serious, and he asked, "Are you okay? Is there not enough time?"
Running out of time?
Xu Beijin was silent, he thought, in fact, he also wanted to know why NE suddenly went crazy.
He skipped the question after all, just saying, "Some... accident happened."
Mu Jiashi was also a little surprised, but he thought he understood what Xu Beijin meant.
He thought it was another secret that Xu Bei couldn't tell.But in fact, Xu Beijin himself didn't know the answer to this question.
In short, after Mu Jiashi was slightly surprised, he turned his attention to Chen Simiao.
He pondered for a moment, then said: "Who will use this 'Devil's Mask'? "
Several taskers looked at each other, and finally fixed their eyes on Mu Jiashi in unison.
Mu Jiashi: "..."
Did he indulge these taskers too much?
Mu Jiashi was very tired all of a sudden, he just felt that this group of taskers, one by one... were all unreliable!
He could only take the item card from Shen Yunju's hand, and Shen Yunju's performance made him feel that this item card was like a vicious curse, he wished to change hands soon... Mu Jiashi was speechless.
He was about to use this item card, but suddenly heard Chen Simiao say, "I'll tell you... the location of that gap."
Mu Jiashi stopped, looked at Chen Simiao thoughtfully, and then lowered his head to look at the item card that was not used in the end... He couldn't help smiling, thinking, it's fine, don't use this item card Card cheating.
Because of Jiang Shuangjie's relationship, Mu Jiashi didn't have a good impression of this item card, even though it was just an item in the game.
He casually handed the item card back to Shen Yunju, and then stared at Chen Simiao.
Everyone looked at Chen Simiao... except Lingo, who was still staring at Xu Beijin intently.But the person he was looking at was also looking at Chen Simiao.
Chen Simiao said: "The gap... is in the corridor on the right side of the entrance, on the outer wall, 370 cm from the entrance, about 150 cm in length, and 180 to [-] cm from the ground."
After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he was relieved from somewhere.
He wanted to continue to say something, but at this time, his audience had already dispersed and went to the place where he said.
"Unload the mill and kill the donkey..."
Chen Simiao muttered and smiled wryly.He knew it was just his own doing.
He felt as if there was a void in his heart. He seemed to admit something, and he seemed to deny something.
So, after being stunned for a moment, he followed in the footsteps of the others.
He also wanted to know how Xu Beijin would use this gap to solve the plight of human beings.
