Since the day of the first change, the heaven and earth have been experiencing changes for several consecutive days, and tonight is no exception.
But this mutation presents an obvious fact, that is, the magnitude of the mutation seems to be decreasing day by day.
Tonight, the movement was much quieter again.
The ground still feels shaking occasionally, but the magnitude is similar to the aftershocks in the past. It is roughly like the feeling of a boat swaying on the water.
Everyone was so accustomed to this kind of behavior that they felt at ease and hid in the house.
With five people staying, it's actually not too crowded.
After all, there are two-meter-long large beds on the first and second floors, and there is a small attic above the second floor, which can actually accommodate one person.
The three girls definitely had to stay in one room, so they chose the second floor.
Jiang Yue and Du Yifeng had many choices. They could either live on the first floor together, or one could live on the first floor and the other could live in a small attic. At least they were considered independent spaces.
Here’s an ad, I’m currently using the Zhuishu app to cache reading and read aloud offline!
Jiang Yue was very generous and allowed Du Yifeng to choose first.
Du Yifeng thought that the bed on the first floor had been rolled over by a man and a woman. Although he did not work, Du Yifeng was somewhat mysophobic and felt that he could not accept it psychologically.
Therefore, he decided to go to the small attic.
The small loft is a bit small, but it has the best privacy.
Just after settling in, footsteps came from the courtyard, and the footsteps came to the door naturally.
Toot toot!
There was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw it was Brother Zhi.
Brother Zhi held a large backpack in his hand and stuffed it into Jiang Yue's arms.
"Sorry about the power outage, you might need these things. That's all I can do, buddy."
Before Jiang Yue could react, Brother Zhi waved his hand and turned around.
When I opened the big backpack, I saw that it actually contained several power banks and several night lights.
This night light is infrared-sensitive. When it senses the heat of the human body within a certain range, it will automatically emit light, and the light source is particularly soft.
In addition, there was actually a box of chocolates, a bag of bread, a bunch of bananas, and several bottles of energy drinks.
These things must have been collected by Brother Zhi in the Yunqiong Hotel.
It was thoughtfully sent to Jiang Yue specially.
Carrying a mobile phone with you is a daily habit developed in the sunny era. Even if the power is out for many days, if the mobile phone is not with you, it will feel like it has lost its soul.
Seeing the power bank that Jiang Yue took out, Han Jingjing and Xu Chunru each accepted one without politeness.
Du Yifeng quietly took one away.
Only Yu Siyuan thought she had a normal relationship with Jiang Yue. When Zhang Jiye targeted Jiang Yue, she never spoke up to smooth things over. She didn't have the nerve to speak up, but she said she didn't want it.
Brother Zhi took six power banks in this bag, but there was still plenty left.
Since the person didn't say anything, it was naturally impossible for Jiang Yue to take the initiative to back him up.
Take out your mobile phone and connect it to the power bank.
Three women and one drama. After the three girls moved in, the B&B suddenly became a lot noisier.
Du Yifeng shrugged, with an unbearable expression on his face.
"Jiang Yue, I'll leave this to you while I go upstairs."
"Don't worry, watch this video first."
Jiang Yue turned on his phone and found the video of everyone leaving in the same direction.
The section he intercepted was not long, only a few minutes.
But these few minutes of video contain a lot of information.
In the first few seconds of the video, nothing seems out of the ordinary. The crowd is evacuating and heading back to their homes in all directions.
At that moment, there was no obvious change in the video.
But almost everyone's figures paused at the same time, as if they were electrocuted.
Then, the style of painting became weird.
Everyone turned around and staggered in the same direction, as if they had been cursed or received some strange call.
Like a walking corpse, wandering towards the depths of the night until it disappears.
Immediately, the video was interrupted.
Once is naturally not enough.
With everyone's scalp numb and stunned and frightened, Jiang Yue clicked on the replay.
This kind of scene is comparable to showing a ghost movie late at night.
"Is this evil?"
"They must have been possessed. Everyone looked as if they had been collectively beheaded suddenly."
Lower your head?
The ancient rumored head-lowering technique does have the effect of controlling other people's will and actions.
However, this kind of secret technique is extremely rare in Dazhang Kingdom.
"Pay attention to their noses. Each of their noses is twitching. In other words, if some kind of force causes their behavior and thoughts to lose control, it is most likely intruded through the sense of smell." Jiang Yue reminded.
Everyone else present couldn't help but touch their noses.
With that being said, this nose is still a nuisance.
Xu Chunru looked worried: "According to this, this place is not safe. If something like this happens tonight, how will we deal with it?"
It’s a very real problem, and it’s scary to think about it carefully.
Thinking about it for a moment, if this problem fell on them, would the ending be better than those of the people in the video?
Most people have no idea.
Jiang Yue also noticed that something was wrong with other people's emotions.
"There is no need to be overly pessimistic. This moment is the same as that moment. If it is invaded through the sense of smell, it is not impossible to prevent it."
"Looking at the appearance of these people, they seem to be completely unprepared. I'm afraid it's not easy to guard against them, right?"
"They were really unprepared at the time. That's because they didn't know it in advance, and they were all outdoors and concentrated in a fixed area. It should be better if we were inside the house. In addition, if we are mentally prepared in advance, we should be able to prevent control."
"Yes, there are masks in the official backpacks, and we can put them on."
There is a medical kit in the standard backpack. In addition to medicines, there are also some commonly used medical supplies, including masks.
At this point, everyone silently found masks from their backpacks.
Although it is a medical disposable mask, it is still better than nothing. The small masks that they would never take a look at usually gave them an inexplicable sense of security.
"Shall I inform Zhang Jiye and Xie Feng?" Xu Chunru said.
"I'll go." Jiang Yue was still thinking about other things and volunteered.
"You all go upstairs. It's best not to stick your head out the window and not to sleep too hard. It's best to take turns to rest. Always leave one person on guard."
Thinking of the attack Xu Chunru and the others encountered, this matter also seemed dangerous.
The other party was so impatient that he started to spy on Xu Chunru and the others, and it was obvious that he was very murderous. Jiang Yue estimated that they came with a mission.
At the registration site before, Jiang Yue noticed those two guys. They were almost the last ones to sign up. It can be seen from this that this was a temporary idea and extremely hasty.
Such a hasty registration was obviously not for the task of being certified as a transcendent, but for this group of people.
Whether it is directed at one person or several, is currently unknown.
But there is no doubt that this is a potential threat.
Zhang Jiye targeted Jiang Yue, even a blind person could see it.
However, Xu Chunru had no doubt that Jiang Yue would not inform Zhang Jiye and the others.
Zhang Jiye's pattern is only as big as a bean, while Jiang Yue is obviously the opposite.
As for whether Zhang Jiye believes it or not, that's up to them.
If you really want to commit suicide, no one can stop you.
Jiang Yue pushed the door open and went out, locked it, and did some small tricks on the doors and windows. Just in case someone breaks in.
Knocking on Zhang Jiye's door, Xie Feng opened the door.
"why you?"
Although Xie Feng was not as aggressive as Zhang Jiye, but the arrogance in his heart made him not have much favorable impression of Jiang Yue.
Seeing Jiang Yue come to the door without saying a word, he instinctively felt a little wary. Thinking that Jiang Yue came to look for trouble.
"There is a mask in the standard backpack. If you don't want to die, you'd better wear it."
Xie Feng was not mentally prepared for Jiang Yue's words, and looked confused. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, Jiang Yue turned around and left, quickly disappearing.
Zhang Jiye asked impatiently from behind: "Who is it? Du Yifeng?"
Xie Feng looked strange and said, "It's the one named Jiang."
"What does he want to do?" Zhang Jiye's expression changed, thinking that Jiang Yue was looking for trouble.
"Don't panic, he's gone."
"Fart! Who is so panicked? What does he want to do? Is this a demonstration? Is he threatening me?"
"He said if you don't want to die, you'd better wear a mask."
"That's it?" Zhang Jiye was stunned.
"That's it." Xie Feng nodded, "Are you trying to scare us in the middle of the night? Brother Ye, you definitely won't wear it, right?"
Zhang Jiye curled his lips, waved his hands disapprovingly, and turned back to the house.
Then he said something that made Xie Feng almost fall to the ground.
"That kid must have thought I wouldn't wear it, but I didn't let him guess it."
…
The words have been brought, Jiang Yue doesn't care whether Zhang Jiye and the others wear them or not.
Soon, Jiang Yue returned to the hotel area and asked to see Brother Zhi by name.
Brother Zhi was so polite in giving him food and drinks. A person should pay attention to comings and goings.
"Brother, what else are you missing?" Brother Zhi came out shirtless and wearing a bath towel.
"There is nothing missing. Brother Zhi, I thought about it carefully just now, and I think it is safer for everyone to wear masks tonight."
Brother Zhi also saw that surveillance period.
The person who disappeared that day may have really inhaled some poison, or some kind of drug that controlled his mind and behavior, causing him to lose control of himself and become a walking zombie.
"Brother, did you come here specifically just to say this?"
Jiang Yue smiled calmly: "Maybe you have already thought of it, Brother Zhi, but if I don't say this, I will feel uncomfortable."
"Haha, to be honest, I really didn't expect it. If someone told me to wear a mask, I would definitely think they were farting, but brother, I believe what you said."
The relationship between people is so wonderful.
Some people speak so eloquently that even half of the punctuation marks are hard to believe.
Some people don't need to say much. They can speak to their hearts in just a few words and believe them unconditionally.
"There is a cafe inside with a lot of good wine. Why don't you come in and have a drink?" Brother Zhi invited again.
"No, there are still some things that need to be investigated clearly." Jiang Yue declined politely.
Seeing Jiang Yue's leaving figure, Brother Zhi sighed and murmured: "It's not simple. This young man is not simple."
Jiang Yue returned to the B&B area, his body suddenly accelerated, and like a ghost, he quickly disappeared into the night.
Now on to private time.
The 25 B&Bs are located in a relatively quiet location. This was probably specially arranged for academics like Professor Lu to avoid too many distractions.
Jiang Yue leaned forward and leaned against the wooden window of the villa, listening to what was going on inside.
After a while, Jiang Yue heard some information.
Thank God, there is only one person living in Building 25.
This man was lying on the bed, and he actually had a tablet in his hand, and he didn't know what was on it. It sounds a bit unserious.
The most annoying thing is that this guy didn't have headphones or something, but he was playing external sound.
Jiang Yue remembered that Professor Lu's left assistant was holding a tablet in his hand the day he first arrived.
Could it be the left assistant?
But it’s wrong to think about it. It’s been so many days. Even if it’s on standby, it’s almost out of power, right?
Besides, a private tablet must have a fingerprint or pattern lock set up, and it cannot be opened under normal circumstances, right?
It will be easier to make sure the other party is a person.
He turned over and landed on the balcony of the second floor.
The large balcony on the second floor has a sliding glass door, which is locked.
However, this kind of hasp lock is obviously designed to protect against gentlemen and not villains.
Jiang Yue squeezed gently in the middle, and the buckle was pushed open.
Jiang Yue slowly pushed the door open and disappeared into the room in a flash.
The second floor was dark, but Jiang Yue's current night vision ability did not affect his actions.
Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to go downstairs, but the cat was on the edge of the corridor.
He picked up the lid of a teacup and rolled it down the wooden stairs.
If the other party can't hear this, then this guy is not here to participate in the selection of extraordinary people, but here to make fun of him.
Sure enough, after the guy woke up, he jumped up from the bed like a carp.
One hand touched the engineer shovel beside the bed, and the other hand held the flashlight. He walked suspiciously to the edge of the wooden steps and shone the flashlight up and down.
Jiang Yue's location happened to be in a blind spot. If you didn't go upstairs and search carefully, you would definitely not be able to see him.
The guy took a look at it but didn't notice it. He actually turned off the flashlight, tiptoed on the steps, and quietly climbed up the stairs.
The footsteps were very soft, almost inaudible.
If it weren't for Jiang Yue's excellent hearing, it would be hard to notice.
When he reached the last two steps, the flashlight in the man's hand suddenly lit up and he swept towards the darkness on the second floor.
But at this moment, his neck was suddenly hit by an electric-like force.
His body stiffened and he lost consciousness.
Jiang Yue held his fallen body with one hand and caught the flashlight that fell from his hand with the other.
Carrying the guy downstairs, Jiang Yue tore up a few sheets, tied the guy's hands and feet tightly, blindfolded his eyes, and then gagged his mouth.
He is not afraid of this guy's backlash, he just does this because he doesn't want to be disturbed by this guy.
If he wakes up from a coma, yells or struggles wildly, he will inevitably alert others. Jiang Yue only came to investigate Professor Lu's situation and did not intend to kill anyone.
The video was still playing on the tablet on the bed, and it turned out to be a sex video. It didn't look like a movie downloaded from the Internet, but a selfie for self-entertainment.
What Jiang Yue never expected was that the man and woman in the video were actually Professor Lu and Assistant Zuo he was looking for!
Jiang Yue felt that his three views had been subverted.
So, this tablet really belongs to Assistant Zuo?
It’s impossible for the tablet to be unlocked, right?
Could this guy crack the code? Or did you just try your luck and draw the right pattern?
