Sentry booth (5)
Sister? It turns out it’s “she”, not “he”.
I recalled that in my diary, I always used the name Gao Liu to refer to that ruthless guy, and I never used any personal pronouns.
The photos of her were mostly close-ups of her wounds, or her tall, thin back in the pit, fully armed and covered tightly. The censored frontal photos that looked like Picasso's were even harder to tell.
I also have a younger sister, and I feel that I may have helped in some way. Regardless of my identity and position, I am still somewhat happy.
As for what Xu You said just now, he is a feudal remnant, I just pretended I didn’t hear that talk.
There was no conversation at the moment. After finding a way, Gao Liu's injury was quickly treated.
The next morning, the person in charge of the treatment called me and asked if I was okay. I tried to open my eyes and nodded, and asked someone to move the machine to my room.
I was still a little sleepy, and I saw the camera move. A young girl was soaking in a transparent column filled with turbid liquid. She had many old bruises on her body, and her soft black hair was floating up like seaweed.
I was a little embarrassed and immediately closed my eyes and lowered my head, feeling that I was being disrespectful to this warrior.
"fine."
A somewhat cold and hoarse voice spoke from inside.
"We simulated the state of amniotic fluid and magnified the pit to give me a hint of the mother's body. When I fall asleep later, the wild cat will give me a strong stimulus and create a near-fatal wound to see if it can destroy my sense of security and awaken my ability."
"This scene is very rare. I need someone to observe more and see if there are any clues that have been missed. This... consultant, if you fail, please come and collect the body for me."
It seems that Xu You has already told the people present about my "identity". I don't know what to say, so I can only agree.
Wildcat was very nervous. He kept staring at his sister Gaoliu, with his hands placed outside the pillars, and was actually shaking a little.
"Brother, countdown."
Fifteen minutes later, Gao Liu, wearing an oxygen mask and breathing evenly, fell into a deep sleep. His floating body unconsciously moved closer to the pillar, as if he was trying to go out somewhere.
"upbraid!"
Under the wild cat's palm, a huge winding electric current suddenly lit up and exploded, and the dangerous black and purple color made my hair stand on end.
Gao Liu's entire body shook, her face twisted. Several spider-web-like deep purple lightning marks crawled across her back, extending along her spine.
Then, as if awakening something, the temperature suddenly rose, and in the rising heat flow, Gao Liu separated from the "baby" and healed quickly.
She gradually grew and stretched out from the amniotic fluid, with her legs recovering first. Her long black hair flowed along her body like a waterfall, and the armless Venus opened her eyes in the rapidly clearing water.
Then came the arms. Gao Liu floated up like a mermaid, and the dark scratches of all sizes on his body quickly faded and turned red, and then disappeared, as if an invisible hand was picking fallen flowers in the snow one by one.
This scene seemed like a miracle. I stood there, unable to move. I was shocked, but also inexplicably moved.
"It's done!" All the medical staff cheered and high-fived.
The wild cat seemed to be awakened, and pounced on the glass. As the people around him shouted and laughed, he broke the glass with one punch and wrapped Gao Liu with his clothes. He was about to howl, but Gao Liu held his face coldly.
"Go out first." Gao Liu said, "I'm so hungry, brother, give me some meat."
By the time Gao Liu had washed up, tidied up his clothes and came out again, I had already used my eyes to force Wild Cat to sit down and drank two glasses of boiled water in succession, for fear that he would get too excited and faint and go deeper into the pit.
Unexpectedly, Gao Liu was taller than I thought, and one of the tallest and thinnest people in the team. Among the people I have seen, I am afraid that including Xu You, she is the only one who does not need to look up at her.
She came over and sat down, her long hair had been cut short to just behind her ears, she opened the lunch box that others had just prepared and started eating. She put a box of braised pork with the broth into the rice, chewed hard and said seriously:
"Thank you, Brother Xu. Thank you, Brother too."
Wildcat turned his face behind a fellow on the spot, using this terrifying posture to control his tear glands. The sinister image brought by his original appearance disappeared completely.
I was a little surprised that Gao Liu called me Brother Xu, and then I heard Xu You say at the side:
"Don't you dislike being called Young Master? You have the final say in the Zhang family, and you can call me whatever you want. From today on, we can both get our household registrations and change our surname to Xu if we like."
Several medical professionals nearby laughed and said that it was right, the young master said he was not from the Zhang family, then he was not, and everyone should be sensible.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I was too lazy to explain myself and let Wildcat and Gaoliu, the brother and sister, talk alone.
The screen went off. Even though I knew I shouldn’t, I couldn’t help but smile.
Xu You waited quietly for me to finish laughing before asking, "Are you still running this afternoon? I'll have someone bring the two new men over?"
This is a step back and they are going to play an exhibition match for me.
I rubbed my face and wanted to laugh, but said no. There was still half a day to prepare, so I could just send them a message and let them guide me, and the battle royale game would continue as usual.
Xu You looked at me unexpectedly.
"I just don't like the fact that you always refuse to listen to others and try to prevent me from having rebellious emotions. It's normal for you to look down on me. I'm pretty useless, but at least the game should be fair. What's the point of you being the only one in control?"
I remembered how Gao Liu ate with big mouthfuls just now, and I felt hungry too, so I shouted for a bowl of braised pork, with more broth to mix with the rice, and more spicy food.
The braised pork was served in a large bowl, so soft and glutinous that it melted in the mouth. I gave a small portion to Xu You and buried my head in the rice.
Xu You slowly sat down, holding the bowl, and suddenly asked me: "What did you feel just now?"
"Uh," I paused, and a word suddenly popped up in my mind, "A first-time father?"
Xu You: “…”
"It was a bit like the good news from the delivery room, watching my daughter being born with my own eyes." I said embarrassedly, feeling a little bad myself, "It's just that, this is the first time in my life that I've saved someone, and suddenly I feel useful, right..."
Xu You shook his head and started eating.
I finished eating in a daze, then I realized that he was not giving up and was trying to inspire some so-called sense of family honor or responsibility in me.
This is like playing the lute to a cow. I was amused, my appetite was whetted, and I peeled a plate of the only lychees left in the freezer.
A funny thing happened at noon. A communication request was sent over there, asking if the "consultant" was free to chat again and give some advice.
The person I met this time was a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face. He looked intimidating without even getting angry. He didn't say anything or introduce himself. His eyes scanned me from top to bottom inch by inch through the camera.
Who is he looking at? His eyes are really annoying.
"I have some opinions, and I have made some particularly important discoveries." I said without hesitation, "But..."
"but?"
"This guy is forcing me to run away, playing a battle royale with me, scolding me, beating me and abusing me. Let's talk again if I'm still alive in three days." I looked innocent and pointed at Xu You behind me without hesitation.
After pouring the oil in front of me and shaking the pot, I stepped on the power switch and the communication screen went black instantly.
"The signal is bad." I said sadly, "Someone come and take the machine away, quickly."
Xu You: “…”
"You don't want to call back and get scolded, do you, this burly Chinese netizen?" I motioned for him to thank me quickly. "What kind of person is this? He even reached out to your team. How rude. This person must not be named Zhang, right?"
Xu You blinked repeatedly, frowned, and opened his mouth with a somewhat aggrieved look on his face.
It seems that this elder is in poor health.
I understood, so I went back to my bed and collapsed, and sent a group message to Wildcat and Gaoliu.
I have to complain here that the little fat cat was scratching the wall again, making my pillow full of wall dust. I spit a few times but my mouth was still full of dust, so I simply grabbed the cat to use as a pillow and opened a stick of chewing gum.
"Tell me, is your team leader the best fighter? If I'm a bit arrogant while running away, will he kick me in the face?"
"No, I won't."
Xu You stood by and said coldly, holding up a mobile phone in his hand, which had synchronized all my real-time chat messages.
Damn it, I knew it. Fortunately, I didn't ask my acquaintances for help and call the police. My eyelids jumped, and I continued typing: "How many people can beat him? Can you join forces? Where does this guy rank?"
"The second best in the world." Xu You answered without being asked, with a slightly sinister smile, "There is also a guy named Zhang who can beat me like a dead dog. But he just happens to be named Zhang, and has nothing to do with our entire circle. You will never see him again in this life."
"..." My scalp went numb. Oh, I stepped on a landmine. I knew it was an enemy right away.
The news about the wild cat finally came, and the first thing that popped up was a picture.
I opened it and found that he had added many more marks and notes to the map that Xu You had originally given me. In addition, there was a very beautiful handwriting, probably from the sixth grade, who used a red pen to mark out several small water networks hidden underground.
"Advisor Xu, I suggest you take the water route. The water route is connected in all directions, leaving the least traces, making it difficult for the leader to track you, and it is also convenient for finding food sources."
I took a deep breath, glanced at Xu You who was still grinning coldly, and quickly typed: "Is it possible that I can't swim?"
"It is still recommended to enter the water." The message came back faster. "The leader can't just watch you, the consultant, drown. If he does that, he will have to spend most of his time swimming to save you, and he will have to find a way to teach you to swim."
"...Wow." I laughed dryly. What a surprise! As long as I study slowly and diligently, I can get through the three days, right?
Gao Liu was much more concise and straightforward: "I'll do it. I'll try to die together with you before we're caught in the pit again."
"--Need not!"
Is there any reliable one among these people?
I was disheartened and sent Wildcat and the others back to digging holes and soil. I also told Xu You to stop laughing and go away, otherwise he would be very tired if he kept sneering until the afternoon.
I lay down, dusting myself off and thinking hard.
Logically speaking, it is normal to be caught after running a few steps. The easiest way is to give in and lower your head. Even the battle royale can be canceled directly. There is no need to ask for trouble.
But this thing is like solving a puzzle. It's better not to think about it. The more you think about it, the more you can't help it. Whether it can be done or not is secondary. Whether you have the ability to execute it is another matter. The main thing is that you really want to know what the solution is.
So is there? I turned over, hugged the cat, held my notebook, closed my eyes and began to imagine, from noon to dusk.
The people outside the door who were supposed to remind me to go out at the time came over twice, but when they saw me like this, they all retreated, assuming that I had chosen to give up, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
I ignored it and continued thinking that the game of Battle Royale itself was no longer important to me.
I don’t know who the person who imitated my crooked handwriting to write his diary is, but his handwriting is much more sophisticated and exquisite, and there is a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder behind it that makes me feel familiar and at home.
If I were this "high-end version" and my thinking was as crazy as these desperate men, would there be any new perspectives? As I was thinking about it, I unconsciously got up and walked around the room, and finally walked out of the door.
"Xu You, since you have information about the pit, there should be more than just the diary, right?"
Xu You looked at me, not knowing what I was going to do next. After a while, he had someone carry a sealed container over.
Sure enough, the container was full. I ignored the various photos, documents, materials and personnel transfer records, and found soil samples collected from the pit and nearby water samples, as well as relevant sampling and analysis results.
Only a small sample of soil was collected, which was packed in a sealed medicine bottle, about 3 to 5 grams. After unscrewing it and smelling it closely, it was no different from ordinary soil.
"What... do you want to do?" Xu You's voice sounded a little strange.
I was immersed in my own thoughts, thinking it over carefully, and felt that it was feasible. I looked up and smiled at him, then poured the small bottle of soil into my mouth.
