The location where the phone is located is a scrap recycling bin.
The red brick wall enclosed a small courtyard about the size of a basketball court. In the small courtyard was a small bungalow also built with red bricks. The door is an ordinary iron door, which is ajar. Through the crack in the door, you can see various debris and trash cans stacked inside. There was a slight smell, but it was probably because of the cold weather, so it wasn't very smelly.
Yan Yueming ran here, half of his life was gone, holding his knees and panting, but he still did not forget to search the door with his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a familiar charcoal mark in the corner to the right of the door.
A simple little duck means there is a free phone number.
The three of them took a breath and took out the paper left by Li Zheng again to look at it carefully. Li Zheng had already been here once, but he was thinking about the people in the hotel, so he came and went in a hurry and did not explore the recycling bin in detail.
The information he gave was limited, only two pieces.
1: The recycle bin collects everything except persimmons. If you find a persimmon inside, throw it on the roof immediately.
2: Enter when no one is around. If the recycling bin staff comes back, you can hide in the trash can.
The three of them kept the rules in mind and poked their heads at the door for a long time to make sure there was no movement inside. When they were about to go in, there was a sudden quarrel coming from far and near behind them.
"Wha—" The stepped foot quickly retracted, and the three of them quickly hid in the bushes at the door.
Yan Yueming raised his ears and heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and the quarrels became clearer and clearer. They were the voices of a man and a woman. They were moving very fast and making a lot of noise.
Man: "You just don't believe me!"
Woman: "How do you want me to believe you? Those big and sweet persimmons are obviously a symbol of our love. Why do you want to sell them with others?! It was clearly agreed that we would pick and sell them together. We will be together forever! You actually sold me to that pig! You clearly know that I am a tiger and that woman is a pig!"
Man: "You know I'm a pig! I'm a pig! You don't believe me at all!"
Woman: "I believe you and I am the pig! You trash!"
"Yes, what's wrong with me being garbage!" The man sounded completely annoyed, ashamed and angry. He strode open the door of the waste recycling bin and rushed in. He went straight to the trash can, opened the lid and got in.
The woman stood at the door and yelled, "You should be in the trash can!"
The man blushed, "I'm already rubbish. Trash can't talk. I'm too lazy to argue with you!"
After finishing speaking, he closed the lid with a bang. The woman continued to curse, but it seemed quite boring to curse at a trash can, so she cursed a few words and left angrily.
Yan Yueming squatted in the bushes, looked at Wen Renjing on the left, and then at Zhao Shen on the right, and saw the same confusion. After being confused, the three of them confirmed that the man had really gone into the recycling bin to be used as garbage, and was not a recycling bin worker. Then they cautiously came out from behind the bushes.
The three of them looked inside like stacked arhats.
Yan Yueming: "He seems to have never moved again."
Zhao Shen: "Do you want to come in?"
Wen Renjing: "Come in."
The recycling bin was not big, and it was clear what was on display in the yard. They did not care about the man who was only interested in treating trash.
,
Go straight indoors.
The small red brick bungalow is about 5 or 60 square meters.
The door is open. The debris piled inside is much neater than in the yard, and there are many shelves to classify it.
The phone was on a long table by the entrance. It looked like an old desk and chair from school, with mottled red paint. The phone is an old-fashioned landline, also red.
Wen Renjing immediately picked up the receiver and tried to make a call, but unfortunately, there was only a busy signal on the phone. He shook his head at Yan Yueming and Zhao Shen. They were disappointed, but their mentality was acceptable.
Yan Yueming looked around, "The senior asked us to keep an eye on the phone and call out as soon as there is a signal. The staff at the recycling bin are not here now, let's explore this place carefully first?"
Wen Renjing was about to nod when suddenly, a whistle sounded in the distance.
"Woo——"
"Woo——"
After one sound, there was another sound.
Zhao Shen became nervous, "Is the train leaving?"
Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing immediately turned around and looked outside the door. They couldn't actually see the train from here. The wall blocked their view, but it couldn't stop Yan Yueming's worry.
The train is leaving. Is the heavy rain coming?
Soon, this worry became a reality.
The sky in the gap is an unpredictable sky. It was windy and snowy last night, and it was freezing cold all night. This morning, although the wind and snow stopped and the sun appeared briefly, it was still blocked by clouds. At this moment, it started to thunder again, and although the raindrops had not yet fallen, who wouldn't say when they saw it - a storm is coming?
The first thing to come is the wind.
The wind was blowing loudly, and I didn't know where it was coming from or where it was going. In the small courtyard of the recycling station, debris was blown against each other and the trash cans were shaking.
Then, within ten minutes, the rain came.
The rain fell hard and fast, with a violent storm at the beginning. Heavy raindrops were beating against the window, and Yan Yueming and the three of them worked together to close the door of the bungalow.
The heavy rain shattered all the sounds in the world.
&nbs
p; The footsteps of the small town residents rushing home and the sound of chopping vegetables in the back kitchen of the hotel have become indiscernible. It started to rain, and the sky became darker. The lights in the clinic came on, and the red cross on the roof glowed in the dark rain curtain.
Also shining with eye-catching lights is the orange-red striped water tower that Yan Yueming saw when he entered the town. It was the tallest building in the whole town, an inverted cone-shaped water tower, and the disk on top looked like a flying saucer.
Li Zheng climbed up from the outside of the water tower. The wind and rain gave him obstacles, but also gave him the best cover.
The mayor lives in the water tower and overlooks his town all day long, so the water tower is also a watchtower.
The raindrops wetted the fur collar on Li Zheng's clothes and also wetted his hair. He quietly lurked into the circular corridor outside the flying saucer and looked in through the window, but there was no one inside.
Suddenly, there was a faint breeze flowing behind me.
Li Zheng immediately pulled out the pen and stabbed backwards. If Yan Yueming were here, he might be surprised, because he had only written with that pen in the hotel, and at this moment, the pen in Li Zheng's hand turned into a knife.
The sharp blade pierced the flesh and nailed into the wall in an instant.
But if you take a closer look, the wall
There was nothing on it, and the sword failed.
Li Zheng frowned slightly. Could it be that he felt something was wrong?
He doesn't think so.
The water tower has always been the most dangerous place in the entire orange-red town. It stands in a persimmon forest, and Li Zheng also spent a lot of effort to get here successfully.
The most important thing is that the mayor of the orange-red town is a madman with multiple personalities. He is very weird, sometimes male and sometimes female, sometimes old and sometimes young, sometimes gentle and sometimes crazy. For this reason, the rules presented in the water tower will also change accordingly.
With multiple personalities in the real world, only the personality changes, and the appearance of the person does not change accordingly. But it's different in the gap. The mayor can really change.
In most cases, the mayor will not leave the water tower unless he becomes-
There was a "boom", and there was lightning and thunder again.
By the light of lightning, Li Zheng suddenly saw a figure walking through the persimmon forest below. It was a petite figure with a stooped back, wearing an orange-red headscarf, and carrying a small bamboo basket. As if aware of Li Zheng's gaze, before the light of lightning disappeared, she suddenly turned around, revealing an old woman's face that looked like dried orange peel.
She smiled slightly, with wrinkles piled up, as if human skin could not hold her face.
The rickety figure was hidden in the persimmon forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he chased him out without hesitation. However, at this moment, the slight wind feeling just now flashed behind me again.
This is not an illusion.
it is true.
Li Zheng didn't know how long it had been since he had experienced this numb scalp feeling. He quickly sidestepped to avoid it, but he was still not fast enough and a strand of hair was cut off.
The hair was scattered and was swept away by the wind and rain in an instant. Li Zheng's cold eyes looked towards the place where the attack came. This time, there was finally someone there.
"Li Zheng." He walked around from the other side of the flying saucer and walked step by step into the light of the window, revealing his missing ear. He looked at Li Zheng with eyes full of hatred and malice, "We meet again."
On the other side, Shangfang City.
It’s that time of daily volatility again.
The Monitoring Department of the Gas Phase Bureau, as the most mysterious department in the entire Gas Phase Bureau, is located underground in the headquarters building of the Gas Phase Bureau. The core of the monitoring department lies in its monitoring devices.
"Gas Phase Forecast" actually started relatively late. In the beginning, humans had no other choice but to use scientific means to explain metaphysical facts, such as magnetic fields. When the rules fluctuate, the magnetic field in the area will also change accordingly, but although it is somewhat useful, it is not of great use. Because you can only find changes in the magnetic field, but you can't know exactly what the changes are. You have to conduct field tests. Just like exploring the rules in the gap, using human life to go there is inefficient and costly.
Later, the search and rescue team found strange stones deep in the gaps that could be used to sense rules. Its principle is a bit like a weather bottle. Whatever the weather is that day will be displayed in the bottle.
People paid a lot of money to bring these stones back from the depths of the gap, and the monitoring device gradually took shape.
Finally, the Qi Xiang Bureau ushered in the death of the first generation of evil spirits.
In chaotic times, some genius madmen are always born. They use their own whimsical ideas and death to complete the last step of the monitoring device. It was a secret, no one knew how they did it, but they succeeded.
If the broadcasting department relies on "talking", then the monitoring department relies on "seeing".
Deep underground, in front of a huge monitoring device covered with black gauze, employees of the monitoring department wearing special glasses were already ready.
When the moment of fluctuation arrived, a huge buzzing sound sounded. The monitoring device ripples, and each ripple has its secret language, which every employee in the monitoring department must understand.
Strictly speaking, they are trained translators. He faces the rules every day, but the harm he suffers is much less than that of the anchor Su Huizhi, because as Li Zheng said, the rules themselves are neutral.
It's just that in today's monitoring department, every monitor couldn't help but frown.
Ten minutes passed, and one of them raised his right hand and made a gesture.
The indoor broadcast immediately sounded, "What's going on?"
"The ripples are trembling abnormally, which is consistent with Article 13 of Abnormal Phenomenon. Please sound the city-wide alarm immediately."!
