Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1583: The one at Qiaoyuan Temple
On the night when Uichi Liu failed to send a text message on time to report that he was safe, Qiao Yuansi sat alone in the living room and thought for a long time.
Her age no longer allows her to escape. She can still drive and has enough savings to live on, but now she can't stop feeling sleepy and tired at nine o'clock in the evening. In Qiao Yuansi's eyes, the colors have long since become less bright, and the objects surrounding her life have become particularly cold and hard. Even car seat cushions will make her bones ache after a long time.
She forgot which year it started, and she felt that her life was slowly exhaling a long breath.
The breath was soft and slow, and there was always time to finish spitting out; in the process, she was gradually drying up and becoming brittle. She can no longer make up her mind and fly away like she did when she was young.
Maybe she is destined not to see the doomsday world... It's just a pity for that boy.
Qiao Yuansi lived in the silence that enveloped him again for three days. Every day, he secretly waited for the door to be kicked open or the car to be stopped. On the third day, she understood: Wu Yiliu had not deformed.
The child may be dead, or may be trapped - dead is more likely - but he is definitely not a shapeshifter now, otherwise he would have taken the initiative to confess her long ago.
Another piece of evidence is that the bank card handed over to Yachiyanagi was never used again. If he had transformed, the balance on that card would be empty by now.
So, how can we find out his whereabouts?
Qiao Yuanji sighed in his heart and continued to read the bank card statement on the computer line by line, trying to reconstruct Yachiyanagi's whereabouts on the day he disappeared from the location of each purchase. The child's consumption was not much, just a small withdrawal and a few necessary purchases. It can be seen from the bill that he followed the clues he gave to find the women's clothing store and bought a few clothes. However, here After that, all signs of activity ceased.
Yaichiyanagi was inquiring about the whereabouts of the evolver that day, which was probably the cause of his disappearance; since he had not transformed, could it be that he had nothing to do with the shape-shifter? Was he killed by the Evolved?
However, she has been paying close attention to the local news in the past few days, but has not seen any reports of a murder case or the discovery of the body of an unknown man.
Where did the child go?
Sighing, Qiao Yuanji closed the bank statement.
She was suddenly stunned and clicked it open again.
Just now, she was too focused on Yaichi Liu's activities before seven o'clock in the evening, and temporarily ignored his first purchase of the day: recharging his mobile phone.
I just made a deposit in the morning, and the person disappeared in the evening. The mobile phone must have fallen into the hands of other people... and it is very likely that it fell into the hands of a shape-shifter, because the evolved person has no use for the mobile phone. Killing After killing someone, they wouldn’t search the corpses of ordinary people for their belongings.
If a shape-shifter got this phone, it is very likely that he has not taken out the phone card and thrown it away. After all, there is still a lot of money on the phone number. Even if it might be revealed that he had taken someone else's cell phone and was responsible for someone else's disappearance, the shape-shifter would not let go of a fly.
In order to verify this conjecture, Qiao Yuanji called Yaichi Liu's number using his colleague's mobile phone.
The call is connected.
As soon as she heard the ring, she quickly hung up. Her heart pounded for a while, she deleted the call history and quietly put the phone back on her colleague's desk.
Yaichi Liu's mobile phone has indeed fallen into the hands of the shape-shifter. It would be easy to handle next; she was most worried that the child would be killed by the evolver, and the phone would also be damaged.
Qiao Yuansi bought a lottery ticket, took a photo of it, and uploaded it to the computer. According to the lottery numbers that day, she found one with a smaller winning amount and changed the numbers on the photo. If Sakura Mizugan could see this scene, would he laugh and say to her, "Yes, that's what I mean. It's easy to change photos, right?"
She was stunned for a while.
It is said that as people get older, they have more and more memories of the past, but this is not entirely the case for her. After so many years, she began to imagine again, imagining what Sakura Mizugan would look like now, what he would say, what he would do if he had never left and always existed - he was the background curtain on a stage. Under the curtain, her life is being played out.
Qiao Yuansi slowly shook his head and refocused on the matter in front of him. She sent the photo to Yatanagi's number and attached a message in a man's voice: "Brother, I can pay you back the money I owed you last time. I'll just give you this lottery ticket."
"You can call my account." Only a few minutes later, she received a reply, and her serious tone could not suppress the itch underneath. The other party probably went to check the lottery winnings.
"I can't go to receive the award, have you forgotten?"
This time, it took nearly ten minutes before the other party replied: "Oh, yes. Well, let me have someone pick it up for me."
Qiao Yuansi couldn't help but smile. It was easier than she thought.
"Okay, who is it? What is it like?" she sent a message asking.
According to the reply from the shapeshifter on the other end of the phone, Qiao Yuansi would see a man who was 1.75 meters tall wearing a green coat and slippers that day - and she did indeed see this man.
After finding the target, Qiao Yuanji turned off his cell phone and kept observing the man; the man looked around and shook his legs. After waiting for half an hour and still no one came, he took out his cell phone - Yaichi Liu's Cell phone - I want to call Qiao Yuanji. After several calls failed to get through, he waited for another half an hour and finally stood up, cursing, and kicked over a trash can on the roadside before leaving.
Qiao Yuansi followed silently.
The good thing about being an old lady is that no one is too lazy to look at her. People always think that the elderly are not aggressive. Their energy, time, pursuit and desire have all gone away from them. They are gray and genderless people. As long as they don't do anything inappropriate, even the shape-shifters don't seem to bother to see if an old man has changed his shape.
For a while, she walked almost side by side with the man in the green coat, and he didn't even glance at her. When she was young, she also felt that strange old ladies all seemed to look the same, and they would be unrecognizable if they changed their clothes.
She originally just wanted to find out who this person was, hoping to use this to further discover how he got Yaichi Liu's mobile phone. But maybe God sympathized with her that this life was not easy, or maybe God knew that she didn't have much time left. Qiao Yuansi soon found that he followed the man to a vast building complex blocked by simple construction walls on the outskirts of the city. Nearby, was stopped at the entrance.
The face of the guard at the door has not changed.
"Here is the dungeon," he asked with a straight face, "What evidence do you have to prove your identity? Only if you prove it can you enter the dungeon."
Qiao Yuansi was stunned.
...Copy? Did she hear it wrong? This world doesn't even have the power to evolve people, let alone produce - wait, could this copy be built by the shape-shifter himself? The man who took Wu Yiliu's mobile phone also entered from here. He was definitely not an evolutionist. He swiped his card before entering. In addition, the guard couldn't see that he was just an ordinary person, which meant that he was not an evolved person. How could there be so many ordinary people in the dungeon?
Although the shape-shifters have been aware of the existence of evolvers, judging from the news, programs, newspapers and other public information channels during this period, "evolvers" almost do not exist to the public, definitely not A common public knowledge. ~IndoMTL.com~ If they wanted to centralize the evolution selection, it would not be difficult to keep most people out.
If you answer here, "Do you want my ID card?" or "What identity do I need to prove?", you will be immediately judged as a "non-evolved person", right?
"This is originally a dungeon?" Qiao Yuansi asked as he was thinking, trying to buy himself some time. "You want me to prove that I am an evolved person? Isn't it obvious?"
Speaking of which, after hearing that this is a dungeon, an evolved person who walked here unintentionally would not be able to take the initiative to enter, right? What method did they use to lure the evolvers?
"Then just prove it casually." When the guard heard the word "evolver", his expression softened slightly, but he did not relax yet.
Qiao Yuansi raised his hand, and the silver ring on his index finger glowed with dots of luster in the sunlight. Even after so many years and lost its effectiveness and could not be opened, it had never become rusty or dull. Under the guard's gaze, she took off the silver ring and took out her wallet from her pocket.
As she snapped the ring down, the silver ring suddenly dispersed into several light spots and merged into the interior of the wallet.
