Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1564: Burned to ashes
No, no... this is too reckless, how is it possible?
Qiao Yuansi also knew that he must be looking stupid and suspicious as he could only stare blankly at Jin Yan. The door of the office was wide open, and the transformed people in the corridor outside were coming and going, chatting and laughing. No one suspected that a suspicion test was going on in the office just a few feet away.
Didn’t Jin Yan already see her photo hanging on the wall? Why do you still dare to draw such a conclusion? Unless she was trying to lure the snake out of its hole, right?
But if Jin Yan has been deformed, she should never notice anything strange from the bird food box. To draw the conclusion that "Transformers cannot feed birds", we must first have the premise that "Transformers lack compassion"; however, Transformers do not have such a premise at all - after all, in their own eyes, they are all Very normal human beings.
To find out from the bird food box that Qiao Yuansi is not a shape-shifter, two things are required: one is a clear understanding of the nature of shape-shifters; the other is a simple but complete logic. Transformers don't have these two things - at least that's the case for now. She has observed so many transformers and has not found any counterexamples yet.
According to the inference drawn from this thinking...it is unlikely that Jin Yan is a shape-shifter.
Qiao Yuansi swallowed his dry throat, but still couldn't speak. The female student opposite was also staring at her; the former's face was getting paler and paler, as if a layer of cement had been gradually poured into her face. She was so stiff and frozen that she couldn't even raise her eyebrows, but she could still be seen. Increasing fear. Jin Yan lowered her head and quickly withdrew her hand that was originally resting on the table but was shaking slightly.
Qiao Yuansi suddenly understood.
Isn’t she the same?
I don’t know how many times she felt that she could no longer bear the feeling of suffocation for even one more second; she wanted to grab those normal people who had not yet transformed at that time, shake their collars, and point at each picture. The deformed face told them to open their eyes and take a good look.
It doesn't matter if she can wake up a companion. Even if she is discovered and drowned by the crowd, she at least shouts out before disappearing. If she failed, then it would all come to an end, and she no longer had to endure it in silence - the new world had only begun for two months, she was only thirty-three years old, and she no longer knew how to live the rest of her life.
Presumably Jin Yan feels the same way, right?
She tried her best to keep her voice steady, breaking the silence that seemed to have lasted for too long in the room.
"...haven't you seen my photo?" Even if Qiao Yuansi could empathize with Jin Yan, she did not dare to admit it rashly, so she asked the safest question.
Jin Yan lowered her eyelids. "Miss Qiao... is this a test set up by you? Are you using the bird food box to attract non-deformed people to come to you?"
Qiao Yuansi was startled.
"My father is a photographer... I know that photos can be modified by cropping and stitching negatives. In fact, the teachers in the photography department must also know that. Aren't you afraid that they will become suspicious?" Jin Yan said, her voice getting louder and louder. It was so small that even Qiao Yuanji had a little difficulty hearing it clearly. She couldn't help but glance at the door. Jin Yan was probably afraid of being heard by people coming and going.
"I went to sit in on one of your classes before... I had my doubts from then on... Besides, who needs to hang up photos of their own facial deformations? I think it should only be normal people. ."
"Since you are so sure, what are you afraid of?" Qiao Yuansi's heart was beating fast, but he still did not admit it.
Jin Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Because I don't know what the purpose of setting up this... test is." When she answered, her eyes were tightly closed, as if she had completely given up. "Miss Qiao, why do you want to find other normal people?"
The more normal people around her, the more dangerous she is. The more normal people there are, the more dangerous it is... In the depths of Qiao Yuansi's mind, this sentence was echoing repeatedly; but at some point her hand put down the pen, reached across the table, and held Jin Yan's shoulders.
"This is not the place to talk," Qiao Yuansi said, the air coming out of his lips was trembling, "Follow me."
...In the sea of faces that were deformed, in the first week when he and Jin Yan found each other, Qiao Yuansi felt as if he must have been blessed by God.
As long as you have a companion, everything changes immediately: humans are probably such creatures. When they are connected, one plus one is greater than two. For safety reasons, Jin Yan ultimately did not have a waiting list for her class; but this did not matter, because Jin Yan said that the reason she insisted on scheduling this class was just to observe Qiao Yuansi more.
"Miss Qiao, I really don't know what is supporting you," Jin Yan would sometimes say.
As for the fact that the old world has actually come to an end, Jin Yan does not seem to take it seriously - rather, she feels that this is just a way for Qiao Yuansi to view the world and express his feelings; without talking about the past Under the premise, Qiao Yuansi mentioned it twice, but when she saw that she didn't take it seriously, she let it go. After all, what difference does it make to their lives whether they accept it or not?
Compared with before, the general framework of their living environment has not changed, but in many aspects there has been a deterioration of subtle chaos. After becoming a precarious marginalized person, Qiao Yuansi observed the world around him partly out of curiosity and partly out of necessity: in addition to the increasing number of negligence, deceit, perfunctory, crude and absurd, the public security seemed to be slowly changing. Worse, some of the sensational news and stories always made her suspect that evolution was the cause of the trouble.
As an alien hidden among shape-shifters and an ordinary person living in the apocalyptic world, Qiao Yuansi clearly realizes that her life will only get worse slowly and bit by bit - if If she's lucky enough.
If she is unlucky, the world may suddenly change into something she cannot recognize overnight; she doesn’t know which day she will be grabbed by the world in the morning when she steps out of the house. Burn to ashes.
Later Qiao Yuansi found out that it was not the morning when she was burned to ashes.
On the tenth month to the end, after Qiao Yuansi entered the house, he received a message from Jin Yan on his answering machine. "Miss Qiao," the latter's voice was slightly excited, "don't be angry after hearing this. I know you don't agree with me doing this... but I am 200% sure this time. I have found another person who can see you." A deformed normal person!"
Qiao Yuansi's heart suddenly jumped. Jin Yan is clear and smart, but after all, she is still young, and sometimes she can be said to be brave or reckless. In addition, she met Qiao Yuansi for the first time in contact with others. Encouraged by this kind of success, she always felt I can still find another Qiao Yuan Temple.
"Don't worry, I haven't mentioned a word to him about your existence. We have made an appointment to meet in the park next to the school at seven o'clock tonight. I will observe and consider him carefully..."
Seven o'clock?
Qiao Yuansi raised his wrist to look at his watch, quickly grabbed the hat and scarf hanging by the door, turned around and rushed out.
Jin Yan really gave it some thought. At this moment, the season is gradually entering winter, and the park is already completely dark at seven o'clock. Under the orange streetlights, the park was sparsely populated. The view was wide and connected in all directions. If something unexpected happened, Jin Yan would have a chance to escape.
Qiao Yuansi, who was searching around, stopped suddenly when he saw two figures on a bench in the distance and sat down on the edge of the flower bed. She was under the shade of a tree, with her hat pulled down and her scarf raised, her eyes fixed on the pair of figures that looked like a couple - the boy was older than Jin Yan, and looked unfamiliar, not like a student. It seems like he's already at work.
Qiao Yuansi sat observing from a distance for a while, and gradually relaxed half of his heart. From such a long distance, she naturally couldn't hear anything; but judging from the atmosphere and body movements when the two interacted, it seemed that everything was going smoothly. The two didn't talk for long. After ten minutes, they nodded to each other, and the boy stood up and left first.
Fortunately, the other half of her heart was relieved. Qiao Yuansi followed just to ensure Jin Yan's safety. Now that she saw that the boy had left first and Jin Yan was still fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief - after thinking about it, she stood up and followed the boy from a distance.
The boy didn't seem to realize that he was being followed; the two of them walked quietly in the dim darkness, one behind the other. There were very few people in the park, only a man who looked like an office worker walked past them. After a while, a female employee wearing a red company uniform walked past; next, two people of similar age wearing work badges on their chests The girl walked over, and another middle-aged man wearing a blue company uniform walked over.
...Are there few people?
When Qiao Yuansi suddenly stopped, turned around and rushed back, in the corner of her field of vision, the boy walked towards the park gate without looking back.
On that dim and cold winter evening, the scenes in my memory became as old and unreal as a black and white movie.
Qiao Yuansi remembered that he was running desperately back all the way. It was only two or three minutes away, but it seemed that he would never end. But Jin Yan seemed to suddenly appear in front of her eyes: Jin Yan was still sitting on the bench, her head lowered at some point, and her long hair covered the side of her face.
Beside Jin Yan, the male office worker, the two girls wearing work badges, the female staff member in red uniform, and the middle-aged man in blue uniform were standing in a circle. The girls on the chair gathered around. When they heard Qiao Yuansi's stumbling and sudden pause, they turned their heads one after another.
Each one is a human face.
Qiao Yuansi was in a trance, unaware of their gazes, and just stared at Jin Yan.
Jin Yan finally slowly turned her head. ~IndoMTL.com~ Thick blood-red scratches crawled out from the corners of her eyes, as if blood had torn the earth, winding its way up her face, tearing her face into several pieces. Her tears fell one after another, but they couldn't wash away even a little bit of the blood stains on her face.
Qiao Yuansi took a breath and made a small sound in her throat. By the time she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, it was already too late. As if hearing some signal, the group of company employees walked towards her step by step.
"Sure enough, there is another one." I don't know who said it.
————————Digression——————
It took too long, so I apologize to you... By the way, if in the next few chapters, all of a sudden, every character starts to win 10 million bonuses without plot logic, meets Li Dongxu by chance and starts falling in love (?),... Wake up and become Natalie Portman or something, I hope you just pretend not to see it, okay?
Why, because a bird hit my glass yesterday...
There was such a loud "boom". Fortunately, the little bird was okay, but the impact seemed a bit harsh. It jumped to the edge of the balcony and shook its head several times as if it was knocked unconscious (I'm lying, I'm Nata) Li dog is very slow), rested for a while and then flew away. Later, when I looked at the glass, I saw two small feathers stuck to it, and a piece of bird saliva splashed on it... Think about how hard this hit was! While I feel sorry for it, I wonder if I have a super power that makes whatever I write come true... So, please bear with me next time, ah.
