Dawn and Dusk Fishery 2
Although the scene has been investigated several times, the relevant materials of the witnesses are kept by the public and require layers of review before they can be obtained. This is why they only established contact with Lin Pingyun today.
After playing the audio message from the organization, Liu Dong pressed his brows. It was more difficult than he had imagined.
No wonder the higher-ups attach so much importance to it.
The fishing ground was actually designated as a new space, which means that there is no highly similar old space so far. First, there is no historical data, and second, Lin Pingjun, as the first eyewitness, was treated lightly and escaped unscathed. There are only two possibilities.
First, the new space needs to expand its scope of dissemination, and intentionally release him to publicize the existence of the fishery, so as to establish connections with more people and replenish the nutrients accumulated by the victims for their growth.
Second, it had appeared before, but the people affected last time had all been harvested, so the news could not be spread, or there were only a few people who got the news, which was equivalent to no one knowing about it. After the fishery finished harvesting, it wandered over from other places to look for new prey.
Both of these indicate that the anomalous space is in its active phase, and the consequences that will follow cannot be underestimated.
"You're all home now, right?"
"yes."
"Try not to go out in the near future. Stay at home and stock up on daily necessities. Wait for my news before making other plans."
Due to the special infectiousness of the space, every handler is a master at both telling riddles and receiving riddles. Ji Xunjin agreed to the arrangement without any doubt.
There is always a reason for everything, so he still listened to Liu Dong.
As soon as I hung up the phone, another call came in almost seamlessly.
Office-Li 3: "Brother Liu, is Ximilu with you?"
Sago is the nickname for the countless small eyeballs placed in a special transparent container. It is named because of their large number and small and round appearance.
The old name "chia seeds" was unanimously agreed to be the most descriptive. Unfortunately, it was abolished last year due to strong protests from a new employee who loved to make his own fruit and vegetable tea and liked to add chia seeds.
"Here I am."
"Oh, Brother Liu, there's an urgent need for it for an exploration activity tomorrow morning. I might have to trouble you to send it back to the supply room. If it's inconvenient, I can arrange for someone to pick it up."
"It's indeed a bit inconvenient for me."
The original plan was to return to the house at night and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to the two otakus. Ji Xunjin can cook, and after delivering the food, they will definitely be willing to eat the fresh meals in order not to waste food. However, he changed his mind temporarily because of the new information he obtained.
Yin Sui is in the house. According to the current level of attraction, she can be absorbed immediately if she comes into contact with the source of infection. Although she is willing to accept it, he is not going to let her try it out before he understands the situation of the new fishery space.
Li 3 was very polite and immediately asked someone to pick it up, and specifically asked for the specific time when he could go to pick it up.
"The time is free before midnight, but I have another request. Can the person who goes to pick up the items be selected to confirm that they are harmless newcomers?"
"Harmless" corresponds to "potential source of infection" and in the industry specifically refers to newcomers among newcomers who have not yet established contact with any abnormal space.
"No problem, it just so happens that a lot of new colleagues came to the office not long ago."
"Trouble."
Just ten minutes later, Liu Dong, who was driving to his next destination, heard the phone ringing. The repetitive cheerful melody bounced back and forth in the narrow compartment and bounced back into his ears. After he picked up the phone, the scattered notes immediately disappeared.
"Hello."
The man was clearly in a dilemma. "The only two candidates who met the requirements both had urgent matters to attend to. The remaining one was just in the office when he was suddenly borrowed by Dong Ge. Otherwise, I would have asked my eldest nephew to deliver it. He works part-time as a delivery man during the summer vacation."
"I'll take it."
After thinking about it, Liu Dong felt that it was a coincidence. It was like being drenched in heavy rain. Most people could only feel the rain, while some others could see the fine needles in the water and even feel pain. When they needed evidence to explain to their unconscious companions, the needles had already mixed with the muddy water that kept flowing past their feet and disappeared. He just happened to catch a glimpse of sporadic cold light in the common things that happened frequently.
It just so happened that I just heard about the fish farm today, and then something came up that required the carrier to return to the house. I couldn't refuse it once.
Before he hung up the phone, he asked, "Why was Brother Dong transferred?"
"They say it's useful to check the fishing grounds."
Li 3 stopped at the point and was not afraid of being blamed for being vague. After years of working together, they had a tacit understanding that as long as no one explicitly expressed their willingness to join the exploration, they would try to avoid receiving more in-depth information.
Another fishing ground.
"How about this? I don't need to take the tapioca pearls. I can use my points to exchange for other replacement items at the warehouse. Do you have any?"
"Yes, I do, but it's a bit of an overkill."
"fine."
"Okay brother, I'll go reply to Brother Dong, he's asking for help."
After completely dealing with the troubles in the office, Liu Dong seemed to come up with another plan as one failed. Various accidents happened one after another while driving. When he turned left, he encountered a traffic jam in front of him due to a car accident, and when he turned right, the road was under repair.
I finally found a highway to go straight across the city, but the inter-city highways are always congested even on non-holidays.
The car owner who lost his temper earlier than him rolled down the window and shouted: "Dude, buddy, what's going on?"
"There was a car accident, and the ambulances were driving away in a hurry. One ambulance was not enough for the second one."
The man spat.
The driver who responded said with a helpless look on his face: "We are lucky. The one that had the accident up front was a large truck carrying dangerous goods."
When he compared it to the danger of being blown up into the sky, his anger immediately disappeared. He landed on the tail and was stuck, unable to move. It was a small matter. He even wanted to offer a cigarette to the staff who blocked the way: "Take your time, it's not a problem."
After knowing the reason, those who had not lost their temper calmed down. Although they continued to complain, they did not really mean to blame anyone.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, the traffic started moving again, with cars of all colors jostling each other and pushing forward.
…
"Another car accident. I should have checked the almanac to see if it was not advisable to travel."
A familiar voice sounded in front. Liu Dong grabbed the steering wheel and followed the car in front towards the exit. A car accident had just happened on the road ahead, and after passing it, the road was still blocked.
The invisible big hand really wants to manipulate the ants. Just the "obstacles" along the way must be piled up with so much misfortune.
"Come back in the evening. Before then, try not to let Yin Sui meet anyone."
"good."
"I'll hang up first. I'm going to turn around in front now." This sentence was said to the person above my head.
Sure enough, the road leading to the house was unobstructed.
Like a bullet that will always hit its target no matter what its trajectory, pulling the trigger will only start it and rush to the finish line. Liu Dong stopped outside the house.
But he didn't get off the car first.
He leaned against the leather seat, his eyes fixed on the flowing light and shadow outside the car window, the shadows of the trees were looming, and countless golden spots of light were dancing in the front window.
"Uh... Brother Liu, I'm so sorry, we still urgently need the number 27 lamp, but the new guy I just mentioned has returned and can go get it. No need to trouble you."
Sure enough, I couldn't keep my composure for even a minute.
"OK."
As soon as the door was opened, Ji Xunjin received a notification on his mobile phone. Since he had just learned from the phone that he would be back tonight, he didn't do anything. He just opened his eyes slightly, looked at the screen, and then lowered his eyes to rest.
Yinsui sat at the other end and spread out the information he had obtained earlier and read it carefully.
In sharp contrast to the two people's silence, a thin-skinned perverted murderer on the white wall raised a kitchen knife and chopped heads wildly. Several victims were crying and screaming and running around.
It's a pure gossip film. A rusty broken kitchen knife chops the skull like chopping fruits and vegetables. With a flick of the hand, the knife comes out with two halves of the head freshly baked. It is so absurd that only laughs are left. But when you think about the name of the film being "The Sorrow of the Watermelon Knife" and the fact that someone still clicked on it even though they knew the content, you can't blame the director alone.
There was a slight movement at the entrance, and she stopped. Before she could speak, Ji Xunjin, who seemed to be asleep next to her, explained, "Uncle Liu is back."
He walked straight through the entrance and his eyes froze for a moment when they fell on Yinsui. At that moment, his feet seemed to be tripped by an invisible line. The pause was fleeting but was captured by the object.
"Uncle Liu."
What's up?
Their eyes met, and she just said hello and then fell silent, waiting for Liu Dong to start the next step. If he wanted to say something, he would say it naturally.
Liu Dong didn't say anything in the end, and started chatting casually, mainly focusing on whether the other person was used to living there and what they needed. Every time he finished a sentence, it seemed like the next sentence was about to get to the point, followed by some small talk.
Losing her patience, she continued to speak gently but took the initiative to put an end to the conversation: "Everything is fine. Uncle Liu, you just got off work and need to rest. Don't worry about me for now. Have you had dinner? Do you want to eat more?"
"I've eaten. I'll go upstairs to rest. Don't be afraid to bother me if you need anything."
A feeling of déjà vu.
The image is delicately between coldness and enthusiasm, and is in any case unpredictable.
"Okay." She was always gentle with her elders.
The screen of the mobile phone thrown beside him lit up. Feeling the light, Ji Xunjin opened his eyelashes and saw the message reminder on it. He felt helpless and leaned against the armrest with his face turned to the side.
"how?"
"Do you think there's anything strange about Uncle Liu?"
After all, the other person was closer, so she didn't discuss her attitude, only stating the obvious objective facts: "Are you referring to the taste?"
It really is. Ji Xunjin, who didn't smell any special odor at all, remained calm: "Yes, I can't tell what it is specifically."
It's so obvious, how could I not smell it?
"The smell of a river with fish." In fact, it is the smell of fish, which is different from the smell of the ocean. Only ponds with little water and many fish and dense breeding can emit the stench of live and dead fish.
"Usually, these older leaders like to go fishing together. I guess they changed the place today because they had a social event. The food tastes different from the previous place."
"Maybe we caught a big fish." Then they hugged each other and took photos.
She'd seen so many people online taking photos of fish they'd caught, not minding the damp, cold feel. Only then could the aroma become so intense and pungent, and simply fishing wasn't enough to marinate it. The scent would pour out, seeping into the fabric of her clothes and lingering for a long time.
Even if people went to the second floor, the smell still remained in the living room, surging out and rolling endlessly, seeping into the fibers of clothes and sticking to the skin. The cold air slapped the inside like a fish's tail, unwillingly refusing to leave for a long time.
I first thought it was a cool breeze, but then I realized it was a chill caused by empathy.
As soon as he stepped into the bedroom, Liu Dong answered the phone as expected. The person on the other end explained apologetically that the lamp was out of use, and so was the sago prop that he had used to stabilize his existence.
"The time has changed suddenly. It's really not something we can decide..."
From the rooftop, overlooking the jungle and the dim but persistent lights on the first floor, he didn't embarrass the person in front of him, saying calmly, "It's not easy for everyone. I know."
