"First of all, make sure,"

Lin Sanjiu said low, and Yu Guanglong was at the crooked entrance of the reception room. "... that old lady is really an ordinary person without evolution, isn't she?"

Bohemia nodded. "It must be. I'm very sensitive to this."

After all, in the twelve realms, if she could even admit that she was wrong, she would not live today.

Although it does not rule out that there are special objects or abilities that can make evolutors disguise as ordinary people; However, the probability of this happening is too low when they casually walk into a folk house while sheltering from the rain.

Lin Sanjiu lifted his chin toward the door. "Go to the door and see where the old lady is. I'll turn on the TV again."

"What are you looking at?" Bohemia asked softly, silently approaching the door.

"I think the image just now is a little strange."

Lin Sanjiu turned on the TV again. This time, he didn't forget to find the volume key first and set it to the lowest level - sure enough, the emergency news of the psychopath disturbing the exit and entry place is still on the screen, and now he is in flight. If you start counting from the departure of those evolutionists, it has been playing circularly for at least 20 minutes.

She stared at the screen and frowned slowly.

... these are not two frontal portraits, but 360 ° images taken with surround technology. Just now, she turned off the TV too fast. When she turned it on again, she realized that she and Bohemia were like two actors photographed from head to foot, slowly circling in the news. The background was the small hall in and out of the station - everyone who watched the news could know what their hair looked like on their heads.

But... How is this possible?

From time to time, lightning broke through the dark room, reflecting the faces of the two people on the screen white again and again. The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the rustle drowned out the noise in the reception room; When a metal impact sound from the corridor came into Lin Sanjiu's ear, she immediately raised her head.

"What sound?"

Bohemia, who was standing at the door, first stretched out her hand and squeezed a soft and elastic door frame up - glancing at it, she whispered, "at the end of the corridor is the kitchen... She seems to be looking at whether the things in the pot are cooked."

Lin Sanjiu's heart moved, and Bohemia also cast his eyes at this time. In the dark and gloomy reception room, people can hardly see her face and facial features, only her big eyes flicker slightly: "... 'edible truth'! Is it related to this?"

"... I don't know."

"There must be." Bohemia was immediately full of confidence and looked out with interest: "we'll wait for her to come back and see what she brought this time."

"Come here for a moment," Lin Sanjiu looked at the screen and suddenly greeted her. Bohemia is waiting to test his theory and is unwilling to move when he hears it; Like an ill trained dog, she was greeted twoorthree times before she finally approached the TV.

"Why?"

As soon as she uttered this question, she was startled by Lin Sanjiu - the latter suddenly squatted down, picked up the corner of her skirt, took hold of her ankle, looked carefully for a few eyes, and then put the corner back.

Bohemia flushed, stammered and asked, "is there something wrong with you?"

"You really have a silver bell tied on your right ankle." Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully.

"There is really no brain in your left skull. What do you want to explain?"

"You see," Lin Sanjiu was not angry and lit the TV screen, "the reason why I know the bell on your ankle is because of this."

On the news image, Bohemia, who has been slowly circling, is indeed tied with an identical silver bell - the length of the skirt is deliberately shorter than that in real life, just revealing it.

"I spent so long with you that I didn't notice it." When Lin Sanjiu said this, he caught a little noise in the kitchen at the end of the corridor from the rumbling rain, which sounded like the old lady was about to come out; She hurriedly turned off the TV, pulled Bohemia to sit down again, and whispered: "... We only stayed in the entrance and exit station for less than ten minutes, how could such details be recorded by the camera?"

Bohemia thought for a moment. The unhurried footsteps in the corridor were indeed coming towards the reception room, accompanied by the sound of the pot lid collision from time to time; She suddenly got close, and her voice hesitated: "... Camera?"

She doesn't know? Oh, by the way, the twelve realms seem to have different names for many things——

Lin San Jiu just floated the idea, and suddenly understood what made her feel strange. Just as she was about to follow this idea to think deeply, the old lady's shadow was just at this time slowly thrown into the reception room, and immediately made both of them on alert.

The old lady held a faded old booklet under her arm and put it on the tea table with a small serving pot in her hands. She moved quickly, and soon removed all the refreshments, and put some snacks and tableware on it; She didn't say anything when she saw their tea.

"Come on, find the address in the brochure, and I'll share some stew for you."

Lin Sanjiu took the thick booklet, and sure enough, he couldn't understand a word. In such a heavy rain, the old reception room was soaked in moisture, and the furniture gave off an old smell soaked by all kinds of smells over the years. It was thick and sticky, coupled with the smell of stewed meat. It smelled like people couldn't help but want to cover their noses.

It seems that the old lady only cares about eating happily, and doesn't care whether they move their meals at all. As she ate, she fell into the memory of being reminded by food: "when I first invited him to eat at home, my mother made such a pot of stew... He used to laugh at me, saying that mushrooms with meat tasted exactly the same, and he wouldn't change a side dish. But in fact, he ate a lot every time."

"Nowadays, young people are still willing to find a partner, marry and start a family honestly. There are almost no more... We used to regard having children as one of the most important things, and young people don't care. After all, now everything is simple and easy to get. Can't you find a garbage dump? When I finish eating, I'll show you... Oh, I also baked a lasagna, which will be ready soon."

In the small meeting room, which was wrapped by the rumbling rain, it was getting darker and darker, and there was no light. The old lady is very familiar with the location of every piece of furniture here. She can eat with relish in a dark room without turning on the light; They sat quietly on the sofa and looked at the rustling figure opposite without saying a word.

"He doesn't like this, but I especially like it." The old lady was completely immersed in food and memories. Almost every piece of food was related to a part of her past; Even in the dark, you can detect a smile on her face. When the lightning struck, her face was bright and dark, and her smile looked a little trance - as if it didn't matter whether the two opposite existed or not.

"When I was a child, my mother used to fry white bars for me. I didn't know what it was actually called, and she didn't know; because when she was a child, my grandmother fried it for her, and my grandmother learned it from her great grandmother... The formula of this little snack was passed down from generation to generation, and it was broken when it was passed to me. I often thought that if my children hadn't died in the battlefield, they would probably fry white bars for my grandchildren. ”

The old lady's tone stagnated, put the invisible food in her hand back on the plate, stared at the door, and was stunned. The reception room fell into a quiet place, with only endless rain and thunder rolling faintly outside the window.

The old lady is an ordinary person, who has no ability to catch or hurt them, and now she can't notify the police - of course, she doesn't seem to want to notify the police.

Then what is she doing?

"Isn't she senile dementia?" Bohemia asked angrily.

Lin Sanjiu looked at the figure opposite and thought quietly for a while; When she spoke again, she said something irrelevant to the old lady in front of her: "... There are at least twenty or thirty narrow doors at the bottom of the building where she went in and out, right?"

"Yes."

"That's interesting."

The old lady was old and had poor ear power. She didn't hear their conversation from the continuous and loud rain. She was still stunned in her memories and couldn't extricate herself. Bohemia glanced at her, turned his head and gently asked, "what's interesting? Don't talk half."

"You reminded me of this... The camera I said is what you call 'recording eye'." Lin San paused, endured a tremor, and leaned close to her ear. "... now think about it, both inside and outside the entrance and exit. Where's the his mother camera? There's no one at all."

Twenty or thirty narrow doors are arranged together. If you want to monitor the situation at each door, there must be at least an equal number of cameras. But even if she didn't recall the subconscious picture, she could clearly remember that there was nothing near the door - not even an eye, a scratch, a notice.

After entering the small hall?

The whole ceiling is used for lighting. If a camera is hung anywhere, it will suddenly darken. Even in the corner, where the ceiling meets the wall, she can't recall seeing any monitoring facilities - most importantly, what monitoring facilities can store their 360 ° imaging from all angles and in detail?

The reason is very simple: as long as it is not the monitoring facilities flying around you, any installed camera can only "see" the side it can "see", which also creates a "dead corner" theory; But what is it that records the situation when there is no camera?

"Yes, there is no record eye in that entrance and exit office." Bohemia murmured, "in fact, even if we don't wear headgear, they shouldn't know our appearance afterwards..."

They took off their pillowcases in order not to arouse suspicion after the evolutionary police officers came and the hostages ran away - and if those evolutionary police officers remembered their appearance, how could they even know what kind of bell they wore on their ankles hidden in the tent?

A strange place emerged, but with more doubts. When Lin Sanjiu bit his lips and fell into his thoughts, he heard the old lady across from him suddenly sigh a long sigh and move again.

"I'm a person who likes delicious food and tastes fresh food all my life." Her voice became hoarse, as if she was tired by the surging emotion. The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes and put away the dishes in front of her. "... now that I'm old and facing the situation that I'm about to leave, I can't help recalling the things I ate with him in the past... There are so many old sayings that I've kept you waiting."

What have you been waiting for?

At the same time, deep doubts and precautions rose in their hearts - but the old lady was not in a hurry and took the leftovers back into the kitchen. When she walked back to the door of the meeting room, she suddenly gave a "Ga ah", as if the air was stuck in her chest and could not flow; Then, the old lady's body twitched and fell heavily to the ground. She saw her hands and feet trembling. She breathed more and less, and was almost dead.
