Liu Xiaokai is twelve years old and is still in the first grade of junior high school. He has never encountered anything as bizarre as today in his life.
So when I saw these two words, my first reaction was that this person must have fallen into the well for a long time and had nothing to eat. He didn't have time to answer his own questions just now and just wanted something to eat.
He immediately went to his schoolbag. Next to the schoolbag was a box of White Rabbit toffees, a box of Orfeo biscuits and a few jelly balls.
That was what his grandfather had bought for him on the way here. Mr. Liu Depei had originally planned to take his grandson, who was beginning to have a heavy workload at school, for a walk in the countryside to relax, and drop by Duan Zhai for a test, which would kill two birds with one stone.
I bought a little too much food, and Liu Xiaokai didn't eat much at all.
He brought all the remaining food over, and then used a new piece of paper to write on it: You stay away, I will throw some food down for you, you eat first, and I will call my grandpa.
After a final thought, I added another sentence: Don't worry, we will let the Sheriff rescue you.
Once again, put the note and the stone into the dry well with a nylon rope.
Not long after, the other end touched the bottom of the well, and soon the bottom pulled slightly, and the person inside signaled that he had escaped.
Liu Xiaokai immediately carefully dropped the packaged toffee, biscuits and a few loose jelly along the gap between the stone slab and the wellhead.
He then raised his head and looked at the dilapidated house in Duan's house. Although all the doors and windows there should have fallen down, he could not see his grandfather.
Liu Xiaokai screamed again at this time, and was about to get up to find his grandfather, but felt that the nylon rope that had not been put down in his hand suddenly tugged. He knew that this was a signal for him to pull up, so after a slight hesitation, he started again Pull the rope.
After a while, he pulled the end with the stone and the note out of the well, turned the note over and saw that there were still two short words written on it: delicious, are there any more?
Liu Xiaokai was startled: "You finished eating so quickly?"
These words were still extremely ugly, and they were also written by the man at the bottom of the well, but Liu Xiaokai guessed that he might need to eat for a while, and he did not expect that the other person would reply to him so quickly.
After thinking about it, Liu Xiaokai put in a new note again, telling the person in the well that all his food had just been thrown in, and asked him to be calm and he was leaving to call someone.
Pressing the end of the rope on the outside of the well with a larger stone, Liu Xiaokai quickly ran towards the dilapidated house of the old house.
The room was dimly lit, giving people a gloomy and depressing feeling.
Liu Xiaokai was nervous and worried about the safety of the man in the well. He suppressed the idea of turning around and running out, and shouted in the room: "Grandpa? Grandpa, where are you?"
"I'm here." Liu Depei's voice came from the back of the house.
It turns out that this section of the house also has a huge backyard. You have to go through the middle room to see it, and Liu Depei had been in the backyard just now, so he didn't hear Liu Xiaokai's shouting.
As he spoke, Liu Depei walked over. His hands were covered with soil. The container in his hand contained some soil and stone chips knocked from the wall. In the other hand, he held a small pointed hammer, clothes and pants. There was also dust on it.
Liu Depei looked serious and said to Liu Xiaokai: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to get close to this broken house? Is there danger here? What if it collapses?"
Liu Xiaokai hurriedly ran outside the front yard and stood at the empty window, pointed at the dry well covered with stone slabs, and said to Liu Depei: "Grandpa, there is someone in the dry well over there... there is someone inside!"
Liu Depei was stunned and walked quickly through the building. He asked: "Is there a dead person inside?"
"Not a dead person, a living person? A living person..." Liu Xiaokai answered eagerly.
Liu Depei immediately ran to the front yard and followed Liu Xiaokai quickly to the front of the dry well covered with stone slabs.
He first took a closer look at the dry well and the stone slab above it with some gaps exposed. He saw that the stone slab seemed to have been pressed here for a long time, and there was no sign of any movement recently.
If there was someone under the dry well who fell in before the stone slabs pressed down on him, he couldn't possibly still be alive.
"The people inside asked me if I wanted something to eat at first. They said they were very hungry, so I threw in all the snacks you bought for me." As he spoke, Liu Xiaokai pointed to the nylon bag pressed with stones on the ground. At one end of the rope, "He can't hear what I say, I just use this to communicate with him."
Liu Depei glanced suspiciously at the scene where the thread was hung into the crack of the dry well. At this moment, he suddenly saw that the thread was pulled by someone, and the source of the pulling came from the bottom of the well.
"Quick, Grandpa, rescue him!" Liu Xiaokai said upon seeing this.
He was younger and thinner, and could not lift the stone slab at the mouth of the well by himself.
Liu Depei said: "You lift the smaller side, and I'll lift this side and move the stone slab to your side. Be careful not to hit your feet when you step back."
Liu Xiaokai nodded quickly, and the grandfather and grandson each grabbed one end of the stone slab and exerted force at the same time. The stone slab only vibrated and was not lifted!
Liu Depei lowered his head and saw that the place where the stone slab pressed against the wellhead was covered with a lot of moss. The previous blow had only torn off the moss on the adhering part. In fact, the stone slab was not heavy, and the grandfather and grandson could easily lift it away.
He immediately said to Liu Xiaokai: "Do it again, lift it up and step back slowly."
If the stone slab is lifted down and it is confirmed that there is someone in the well, Liu Depei will immediately report it to the sheriff, or first ask nearby residents to rescue the people inside.
The two of them used force again at the same time. Sure enough, this time the stone slab was much lighter and was immediately lifted. Liu Xiaokai followed his grandfather's instructions and tightly clasped the edge of the stone slab with his fingers. It felt a little slippery and not easy to grasp. He knew You should remove the slate as soon as possible and put it down, otherwise your hand will most likely slip and fall.
After lifting it up, Liu Depei planned to walk around the wellhead so that his grandson could lift the stone slab and place it on the ground.
At this moment, Liu Xiaokai, who was carrying the stone slab back, accidentally stepped on a group of moss on the ground beside the well. His feet slipped forward and his body leaned back. However, he subconsciously held the edge of the stone slab tightly in his hands for fear of it falling.
But Liu Depei suddenly felt a pulling force, and the stone slab pulled him forward. At this time, he had not yet walked around the wellhead, and was facing the dark wellhead.
At this time, Liu Depei could actually just let go of the slate. When he was about to do so, the cracked part in the middle of the slate suddenly broke off and turned into two slates.
Liu Depei suddenly lost his center of gravity and exclaimed. When he let go of the broken stone slab in his hand, he fell forward and fell in from the mouth of the well.
Liu Xiaokai, who was leaning back on the other side, had fallen to the ground and hit a bump on his head. However, he ignored the pain and got up quickly. He rushed to the mouth of the well and looked down in horror. It was dark inside but he couldn't see anything. arrive.
"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa..." Liu Xiaokai was so confused that he burst into anxious tears.
Although grandpa fell in, he didn't seem to hear the sound of landing just now, or there was already a noise, but he also fell and didn't hear it in panic.
Grandpa also has his cell phone, he doesn’t have a phone.
At this time, Liu Xiaokai remembered that when he and his grandfather came here, they passed by the path here and saw a farmhouse on the other side of the road. He immediately shouted to the wellhead: "Grandpa, wait for me, I will go to the other side to call someone to save you!"
As he spoke, he shed tears and prepared to turn around and call someone.
But at this moment, Liu Xiaokai suddenly saw that the nylon rope that had been pressed against the wellhead was pulled.
He didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, and was about to leave when he saw the rope being pulled twice hastily.
Liu Xiaokai was startled, walked over, knelt on the ground, alternated his hands, and quickly pulled one end of the rope out of the well.
The end with the stone and the note was quickly pulled in front of him. Liu Xiaokai immediately took off the note and turned it over, only to see what was written on it.
"This is more delicious than the one just now, is there anything else?"
…
Xie Zongyu stopped dictating, raised the tea cup at hand, and took a sip of hot tea. It seemed that his mouth was dry just now.
Shen Xing stared into his eyes, then turned to look at Yang Tian, who was sitting beside him and remained silent. This guy huddled up into a ball, his face was haggard, and he coughed from time to time.
Shen Xing quickly retracted his gaze and finally raised the hot tea that had burned his tongue just now. The tea was now warm. He drank all the water in the teacup in one gulp as if he was angry and spit out two tablets from his mouth. tea.
When Xie Zongyu was about to pour the freshly boiled water into his tea cup, Shen Xing waved his hand: "No, thank you!"
As he said that, he looked at the position of the left lung that Yang Tian was pressing with his right hand, and said to Yang Tian: "I can almost guess why you can still go out to handle cases even though you have no left lung."
Yang Tian looked at him and said nothing.
Shen Xing asked: "Did you make a deal with the anomaly in this well?"
Now it seems that the anomaly in the well thinks that everything that falls in is delicious, so Shen Xing guesses that the people in the special team specially prepared to trade food in order to lure it out.
But the current result is obvious. This transaction failed. Not only did it fail, Yang Tian also lost a kidney in vain.
"Can you tell me the specific situation?" Shen Xing asked with interest.
Yang Tian took a sip of tea, glanced at Xie Zongyu, and then started to tell.
…
At that time, Liu Xiaokai was stunned by the words on the note. After screaming, he turned around and ran away without caring about anything until he came to the road and ran to the farmer's house across the road while crying.
A short time later, the owner of the farmhouse notified the sheriff.
About half an hour later, a small patrol car converted from a van arrived, and three police officers, two men and one woman, got out of it.
The two male police officers, one tall and one short, arrived at the dry well under the guidance of the farmer and the crying Liu Xiaokai.
At this time, the inside of the dry well began to emit a strange stench. The smell was so bad that standing by the well for a while made people feel nauseous.
The female sheriff soon couldn't hold on any longer and ran to the side and vomited.
The two male sheriffs checked around the dry well and found the footprints of an adult and a child. The child's footprints should be Liu Xiaokai's, and the adult's whereabouts may have fallen into it as Liu Xiaokai said.
But after listening to Liu Xiaokai's intermittent narration just now, they understood that this dry well was unusual. They took a strong flashlight and shined it at the bottom of the well. They found that it was still pitch black inside, and even the strong light could not penetrate the darkness.
The female police officer and Liu Xiaokai returned to the car to rest, and the female police officer comforted the person involved. The two male police officers reported the situation to the command center, and soon the first rescue team arrived.
Although these people were equipped with rescue equipment, after hearing the situation, no one dared to go to the rescue.
I threw no less than ten emergency lighting rods into the dry well, but they still couldn't dispel the dense darkness inside. This proved that the bottom of the well was very unusual.
Subsequently, the Ping An City Special Investigation Team received a notice to take over the case, and Xie Zongyu led the team to set off. Along with him was Yang Tian, who had lost his left lung.
At that time, it was impossible to rescue Liu Xiaokai's grandfather Liu Depei in a hurry. After analyzing what happened, Xie Zongyu concluded that Liu Depei was dead and could not survive again.
He ordered the dry well and the Duan family's house to be sealed off, and even ordinary peace officers were not allowed to enter without permission.
Xie Zongyu then used a loudspeaker and sent a intact phone to the bottom of the well to try to communicate with the anomaly at the bottom of the well, but the other party did not reply with any message, as if it did not exist at all.
As a last resort, the investigation team had no choice but to adopt Liu Xiaokai's method. However, what they hoisted into the well was not a note, but an erasable writing board, and they conducted an extremely strange communication.
Xie Zongyu: Who are you?
Bottom of the Well: A loner whose behavior is out of control.
Xie Zongyu: The man who fell into the well was eaten by you?
Jing Di: Is that a human? I thought I was the only one human.
Xie Zongyu: For better communication, I suggest you come outside the well and let's have a good talk. Maybe I can meet some of your conditions.
Jing Di: Aren’t I already outside?
(When Yang Tian told this paragraph, Shen Xing noticed that Xie Zongyu's face changed significantly, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he still held back.)
No matter who it was, they were all shocked when the anomaly at the bottom of the well said that they were already outside. Because it was night, this statement would inevitably give people a creepy feeling.
Xie Zongyu: Where are you? I did not see you.
Jingdi: But I saw you.
At this time, Xie Zongyu turned around and looked around. Except for Yang Tian, who was also searching around, he saw nothing.
However, for the sake of safety, the two used the weapon at the time, the golden electrostatic pen, to cover themselves with an electrostatic field, which could temporarily shield their existence from abnormal perceptions.
Xie Zongyu: Tell me, what do you want?
Bottom of the well: happiness.
Xie Zongyu: How can I make you happy?
Bottom of the well: Eat.
Xie Zongyu: What do you want to eat?
Jing Di: The same thing as last time.
Xie Zongyu (frowning): What I want to know is, what can you give me in return for this?
Bottom of the well: your happiness.
Xie Zongyu: Do you know what my happiness is?
Bottom of the well: power, never-ending power.
