After discussing the time and place for the meeting with Odyssey Company, Sutina put down the phone. He slumped back in his chair and began to close his eyes and meditate, looking like a tired civil servant after get off work. Song Wenbin couldn't help but feel funny when he saw that she was already paralyzed at such a young age.
"Do you want to take a rest in the back? It's still a long way from Jakarta." Song Wenbin asked.
Sutina glanced at him coldly, turned sideways, and slept on the car chair with her back to him.
Song Wenbin saw that she was going to rest, so he called Huo Yu again.
Soon, the call was connected. Huo Yu asked in a low voice and unhappily: "What's going on?"
"We have decided to go to Jakarta to meet with Odyssey Company tomorrow. Is there anything unusual at Wutou?"
"It's only been a while, and I'm still repairing the boat by the river."
Huo Yu whispered.
"Okay, then please pay attention to your safety."
"I know, don't worry, call me and let me hear you."
Huo Yu said impatiently on the phone.
"All right....."
Before Song Wenbin finished speaking, the phone hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Song Wenbin saw Su Tina turning to look at him again, so he quickly said: "No fight, no fight, you should take a rest quickly."
"Last time it was just work, don't think too much about it." Sutina said half-warning and half-seriously.
"Ah, of course I understand this." Song Wenbin said.
"If you try to disguise yourself next time, don't look for me." Sutina said coldly: "If you have to travel in the future, you are not allowed to borrow that identity. Do you understand?"
Song Wenbin was a little surprised, but not surprised. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, you have the final say."
Sutina snorted coldly and continued to sleep leaning on the chair.
...
…
In the dark tropical rainforest outside Semarang, amid the silent chirping of insects and the whimpering of night owls, Huo Yu put down his cell phone and said to himself: "I really can't tell that you are capable of being a mother-in-law."
There was a rustling sound in the woods nearby. Huo Yu turned around and saw that it was his colleagues from the film crew. At this moment, each of them was carrying a gun barrel and a camera and following her. Due to the sensitivity of the negotiation task, director Bao Li did not arrange for a photographer to follow Song Wenbin, but only installed a small hidden camera on him for candid filming. , and he himself followed her with a large army for night shooting in Indonesia.
Huo Yu felt mixed emotions when looking at the group of colleagues who stayed behind her to take photos without taking any rest in the middle of the night. This crew of bastards is indeed a bastard. He has traveled to so many countries and done a lot of immoral things for the sake of the show's effect. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as unscrupulous.
However, it is said that dedication is indeed dedication. In this humid and muggy night in Indonesia, which is full of mosquitoes, Baoli still led people to follow her closely to shoot. She really admired her professionalism.
"Don't make any noise." She couldn't help but warned Pauly: "It's very dangerous here."
Paulie said nothing, as cold as a filming machine.
Seeing him like this, Huo Yu relaxed a little. He hid in the bushes and looked into the distance. At the river under the cliff in the distance, Wutou seemed to have finished his day's work. They turned off the searchlights of the fishing boats on the river. Carrying torches and leading a group of people up the mountain road.
Not long after, they walked along the dirt road more than ten meters in front of Huo Yu, laughing and chatting in Indonesian dialect that they couldn't understand. Huo Yu crouched behind the tree. After they walked a little further, she quietly came out from behind the tree and groped quietly behind Wu Tou.
The night owl's whimpering in the night gradually became louder, and Huo Yu felt her heart beating rapidly. Performing such a task brought her great excitement and stimulation, and she enjoyed this feeling very much.
However, when they reached a fork in the road, Wu Tou and his fishermen friends did not return to the village along the original road, but turned around and went to the other side.
Huo Yu followed the group of people toward the fork in the road. After a while, she came to a relatively flat hillside. The hillside was lushly planted with patches of plants. The plants didn't look very tall. But they all have morning flowers in bloom, and they look quite beautiful in the moonlight.
The night wind blew through the sea of flowers on the hillside, bringing with it an indescribable fragrance and tranquility. Not far from the hillside, you can see the sea and the starry sky, and the scenery is magical and magnificent. But Huo Yu was not in much mood to appreciate the scenery here, because after Wutou and his friends came to this sea of flowers, they disappeared collectively and no one could be seen.
"Where have everyone gone?" she asked her colleagues in the film crew in a low voice.
Colleagues couldn't give her an answer.
Such strange things made Huo Yu's heart beat a little uneasily. In the night, there seemed to be unknown energy gathering.
She struggled a little. The sea of flowers looked very open, and there were no trees for cover around it. If she entered it, she would be at risk of being exposed.
But her job is to monitor Aconitum here. If Aconitum disappears from under her nose, it will undoubtedly be her dereliction of duty.
Soon, she made a decision, turned to Pauly and whispered: "You guys wait for me here, I will go in to find them."
The director remained silent as before, as if his mind had been attracted by the sea of flowers.
Without waiting for Baoli to answer, Huo Yu stepped into the sea of flowers alone with his waist bent.
The sea of flowers danced and exuded a charming fragrance. Huo Yu didn't know what flowers they were. Some of them looked white and some were yellow. If it weren't for the mission, walking alone in the sea of flowers in the moonlight would be somewhat romantic. If possible, she would prefer to come here with her two colleagues for a walk, if there was no work pressure.
I don’t know if Su Tina and Song Wenbin can get enough information from Odyssey Company. If this mission can be successful by chance, they will have the opportunity to travel to other places. I don’t know if there are similar seas of flowers in other places.
Huo Yu was thinking about it.
There was a wind blowing in the air, and the wind carried smoke that lingered on the tip of her nose. She smelled it, and it smelled like plant ash. Someone was burning something nearby.
She straightened up slightly from the sea of flowers and looked into the distance. Indeed, she saw rising smoke and flickering flames not far away.
What are these people doing?
Huo Yu was a little confused.
Is it possible that there is some custom of burning paper here?
She couldn't help but think about burning paper in the diving school. Although it had only been a few months, the memory of learning to dive with Song Wenbin seemed like a lifetime ago. I have really been working for a long time. Over the past year, I have traveled to various countries and my pace has hardly stopped.
Maybe after this crazy and tiring trip, they could find a place to take a vacation, rest and relax. Where should they go on vacation?
Maybe go to your hometown...
The non-existent voice rang directly in Huo Yu's heart, and she was stunned. Then she felt a pain in her brain, and some old and broken images were rolling through her brain.
It was a dark and cramped alley, with pipes dripping everywhere, billboards that looked like dog-skin plasters, colorful neon lights on the streets, and... a woman holding a little girl and running quickly in the alley...
Huo Yu was caught off guard and was stunned. She knelt down in the sea of flowers and stuck her fingers in her hair. She was panting heavily with cold sweat and her eyes were wide open. She didn't understand why she would think of irrelevant things in the midst of such a focused task.
The constantly jumping images rolled through Huo Yu's mind like broken glass, giving her a splitting headache. It wasn't until her phone buzzed in her pocket that she barely broke away from the flashback.
"Damn... I told you not to call and you still call!"
She gritted her teeth and reached into her pocket.
Panting, she took out her cell phone. It seemed that the person calling her was indeed Song Wenbin. She answered the call and cursed in a low voice: "Don't call me, don't call me. Didn't you hear me?"
"Director Huo! Come back quickly! I just used the image recognition software to look at those flowers. They are mandalas and they are poisonous!
"
The voice was not that of Song Wenbin at all. Besides, Song Wenbin had never called her Manager Huo. Huo Yu took off her phone and saw that the WeChat avatar who called her was Wei Ning. She was stunned. How could she recognize Wei Ning's avatar? Where is Song Wenbin?
"Director Huo, did you hear that? Come out quickly!
"
Wei Ning anxiously raised his voice on WeChat.
"Well...I'll...go back..."
Huo Yu said slowly.
However, before she could stand up, her phone fell from her hand unconsciously.
Broken hallucinations came from her mind again, including screaming women, waving whips, bursting blood, and men covering their eyes and stumbling back.
Huo Yu was stunned for a moment. Someone was urging her on the phone, but she could no longer hear the voice.
Thick smoke rose from less than three meters away from her, as if wolf smoke was lit. Thick bonfires were lit everywhere in the sea of flowers, and the color of the bonfires looked unusually distorted to Huo Yu. and pale, like a scene from a nightmare.
In the smoke, several men stood up from the sea of flowers. One of them was tall, and the others seemed to be short. They wore wet face towels in the moonlight and smoke, and looked at Huo Yu expressionlessly, as if they were waiting. What are you wearing?
Huo Yu had completely forgotten the mission. She couldn't even remember where she was. It was on a hillside in Indonesia at night, or... somewhere in a bright and neat dojo.
In the dojo, there was also a tall man and several short men standing. There were large Japanese characters written on the walls of the dojo. She raised her head and looked at the tall man at the head. He had a typical European appearance, but Wearing a white judo uniform.
"Father...Father...Father...???" She spat out two words with difficulty, her voice as vague as if she was holding a carrot in her mouth.
"Do you think you can hide this from me?"
Wu Tou sneered: "In Indonesia and Semarang, nothing can escape my surveillance. Even the night owls in the sky are my eyes."
As he spoke, Wu Tou raised his arm, and a night owl landed on his arm. It stared at Huo Yu in the sea of flowers with its big round eyes.
A large group of people cheered out from around the sea of flowers. Wearing wet face towels and holding torches, they strode to find the people from the program crew, started to snatch their filming equipment, and pushed them to the ground. The members of the film crew also collapsed on the ground because of inhaling the hallucinogenic smoke. Some were yelling, some were wailing inexplicably, and some were laughing.
Those sounds fell into Huo Yu's ears, making her already confused spirit even worse. She only felt light-headed and light-headed from time to time, and her body felt as heavy as lead. The world in front of me is extremely distorted and abstract. Sometimes it is Indonesia, sometimes it is neon lights, and sometimes it is a ashram.
Wu Tou fed the night owl a dead mouse, touched its wings and said, "That friend of yours is very thoughtful and has a smile on his face. In fact, he doesn't believe anyone. I have to say, he gives me a little headache. Obviously I sincerely want to join you, but you are so wary of me, delaying me again and again, and even secretly spying on me. To be honest, it hurts my heart."
"Father..."
Huo Yu couldn't hear clearly what Wu Tou said. She staggered towards the man in judo uniform, her steps sloppy, as if she was drunk.
Suddenly, she screamed: "Death!
! "
Her eyes were blood red and she aimed her palm directly at the man's eye, but then punched the air. The man who seemed very close to her was actually very far away from her.
Huo Yu punched the air and rushed forward again, but this time she fell directly into the sea of flowers, causing the mandala petals to fly in all directions.
"I'm going to kill you..." She salivated, her blood-red eyes darting left and right in the sea of flowers.
But those Indonesians just wore wet wipes and surrounded her, but no one came forward. They just watched her going crazy indifferently.
The fluttering petals turned into flowing blood in Huo Yu's field of vision, and the figures turned into shadowy ghosts. They stood not far away, wrapping her up. She knelt on the ground, looking at her hands, and there were more on them. It was blood that was so thick that it couldn't be melted.
"Monster...hahahaha..."
"Violent monster..."
"Same as your father..."
"No wonder...like father, like daughter..."
"You don't deserve to be here..."
Whispers kept ringing in her ears, and the dusty history that was suppressed under the dragon pattern and daily travels made her unable to struggle anymore. She knelt in the sea of flowers, covering her ears tightly, trying to dispel those ubiquitous sounds, But it was in vain, the sound was everywhere.
"Stop talking." She held her head and squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "Stop talking."
She was answered with a sap.
boom!
An Indonesian man stepped forward and hit Huo Yu on the back of the head with a rubber stick, knocking her backwards and falling to the ground. She was dizzy, her eyes were filled with stars, and she couldn't lift up any strength in her body.
"Hey, be careful."
Wu Tou stood far away in the flower field and warned: "That woman is very fierce. My banana tree was kicked off by her."
"It's okay, boss, she's already passed out."
Wu Tou's men said happily.
