"I have no psychological burden to accelerate the deterioration of the world."

"But... I'm old after all. I can't do many things by myself. I need a clear-minded and trustworthy person. So, I need you."

"If you don't want to bury it by yourself, if you still want to try another way, then I can't break the world by myself. I can only continue to endure, hoping to see it die in front of me one day."

"Of course, I won't blame you."

"All the cards have been placed on the table. Your decision is ultimately up to you."

After Wu Yiliu walked out of Professor Qiao's house, the words of the old lady when she left will still emerge from his mind from time to time.

After talking yesterday afternoon, he didn't sleep all night. He tossed and turned on the sofa, sighing and groaning, and was confused for a while until dawn; On the contrary, Professor Qiao, who is 70 years old, was not too affected. He still got up on time and prepared breakfast, but went out to work as usual.

His weakness, confusion and contradiction may be seen by the old lady. But she didn't say much, just that he was clear-minded and trustworthy... Really?

Does a clear-minded person not even know whether a deformed person is human? A trustworthy person, can't help but have the idea of "if only I were unconsciously deformed"?

The bus that used to run every ten minutes didn't come after waiting for half an hour today. In the curses of deformed people like "becoming more and more disrespectful", Wu Yiliu simply left. His face was covered with camouflage, and now he would not show surprise when he was frightened by the transfigured man. Therefore, after walking for an hour, there was not even a transfigured man who looked at him more on the road.

Wu yiliusi is not worried that she will be seen by her classmates. This is not because the school is in another direction of the city. If a group of transfigured people are going to surround him and infect him, to be honest, he doesn't know whether he can fight vigorously - he doesn't even know whether he will breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know whether I'm tired of walking or thinking. Wu Yiliu came to a shop window and sat down in the street with a "thump" and took out his mobile phone. The road is very dirty. It seems that the cleaners haven't cleaned it for many days; Sitting here like a beggar will also be cast strange eyes, but what does it matter?

"Mom," he shouted at the unrecognizable face in the video call, "call my father, too."

The thing that can't be regarded as a face even if it's reluctantly twisted and bent for a moment, probably showing a smile at him and holding the body underneath.

After a while, his father's face, which was exactly the same as his memory, appeared on the screen of Yiliu's mobile phone in the room.

... it's completely deformed. So soon, you can reach the final shape of the face?

Wu Yiliu gently wiped his dry and sour eyes. He didn't know how to carry out this conversation. He just suddenly couldn't help but want to see his parents again.

"What's the matter? Money again." Before he sat down, his father came to a conclusion.

"Will you go home after a long holiday?" Asked the illegible face.

"I don't know what you are doing every day... Why don't you have class? Where are you now?" His father seems to feel something wrong, so he looks closely at the background behind him.

"Ask you something, will you go home?" Mother's voice asked.

From the center of the so-called twisted and chaotic face on the screen, a small black hole with the size of a thumb suddenly opened. In the black hole, there was a faint face of his mother's past, with his mouth open and closed, as if calling for help from a very deep place. "Are you mute?"

Wu Yiliu suddenly cut off communication.

He stared at the screen of his mobile phone and watched it receive another call request. He let it ring until the other party hung up. A message came from my mother's mobile phone number. The only message was "is the signal broken?" A few words, probably didn't feel that something big had happened.

In the past, when understanding the "paradox of Theseus' ship", Wu Yiliu believed that the ship of Theseus after all the materials were changed was still the same ship; Now he can't remember what his basis was at that time.

Now looking back, he found that he didn't even know when he heard his mother speak for the last time. What did she say then? Wu Yiliu is willing to pay any price and return to listen again. Has the confident and capable mother been confused when she began to deform? Have you ever been afraid?

When his parents in the distance gradually disappeared, what was he doing at that time? Was he keen on chatting with the quietly deformed female classmate on the other end of the phone, or was he looking for pirated resources of a movie everywhere?

"What do you do?" The glass door of the store was suddenly pushed open, and a woman's voice seemed to be full of hatred to vent. She shouted at him like a machine gun, "what are you doing sitting in front of our window? Do you know that you're blocking my business? Bad luck? It's not good for you to beg for food here. Oh, go away, go away!"

Wu Yiliu stood up, patted himself and looked at the woman behind the door. The corners of her eyes and mouth are long and pointed downward, which is like an exaggerated cartoon character; The corners of his eyes fell all the way to his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth divided the whole chin.

"I want to buy something," he said as he opened the glass door. The woman immediately stepped back two steps, even if she changed her shape, she couldn't stop her suspicion: "you? This is a women's clothing store, and there are no clothes you wear."

It is not only a women's clothing store, but also a women's clothing store with little business. It is as depressed as other stores in the street. In this case, it is more difficult to refuse his business.

"I know," Wu Yiliu walked sideways from her, without letting her eyes stay on her face for too long. Professor Qiao found him a makeup tool more suitable for camouflage, but he couldn't stand it and looked closely at it. "I bought it for my girlfriend."

The deformed shopkeeper stopped talking suspiciously. Obviously, she was unwilling to let him go and didn't trust him to come in, so wherever he went, she followed him - he didn't look like a tramp, but this still couldn't avoid the suspicion that he was a thief.

Wu Yiliu casually took out a few clothes and looked at them. He didn't even see the price. He took two skirts and handed them to her, saying, "wrap these two for me."

Those long, sharp lines, hanging upward, almost unrestricted, quickly cut the shopkeeper's forehead and temples - the whole face was cut into several large pieces by the corners of her eyes and mouth raised upward, making the high hematoma in her forehead more clear.

"What happened to your forehead?" When he walked to the cash register with the female shopkeeper, he casually asked, pretending to be thinking about a nearby dress.

The shopkeeper reached out and touched the hematoma.

"I'm so unlucky," she complained at the beginning and couldn't stop. "Just the day before yesterday, there was a strange woman who came in and rummaged through her clothes. Alas, she didn't look at the price and took what she liked. I thought there was a big deal. Don't you know that it was so high on her shoulder!"

She compared, and it was really high. Look at the thickness of at least dozens of pieces.

"As a result, she turned around with that pile of clothes and was about to leave! She was about to go out! Hey, can you believe it? This society is really chaotic. I shouted at her at once. The woman turned around and looked at me, and her eyes were crazy. I think my brain is probably abnormal. I heard that crazy people have great strength..."

Even this kind of ordinary narration requires Wu Yiliu to lead her back to the track: "she turned around, and then?"

"What do you think she said? She actually said to me, 'how cheap it is for you to exchange these clothes for a life'. It's cheap for your leg. Oh, even if I'm afraid of this, I'll catch her when I jump on it... The madman's strength is very great." the more the shopkeeper said, the more angry she became, the long lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth were almost uncontrollable. "I fell like this, and I didn't see what happened. I was robbed of a lot of clothes!"

Wu Yiliu pretended to TUT a few times to show sympathy. "Did you call the police?"

"It's useless to report a fart. I came and left. I said there was not much money for clothes. Where can I find someone? I said there was her appearance in my monitor. They asked me, do I know the name of the woman, and I don't know who and how to find it? What if it looked like, it disappeared when I went out -"

Wu Yiliu could not help it for a long time, and immediately interrupted her: "there is monitoring? Can you show me?"

For fear that the other party would not for God knows what reason, he added: "my cousin is from the police force."

I don't know which of clothes and cousin worked. Soon, Wu Yiliu saw the evolutor for the first time on the monitoring screen.

Professor Qiao's sense of smell for the evolutionist is really too sensitive: she was able to locate the evolutionist from a simple angry reply on the local website.

It turns out that the evolutionist is like this... The way she dominates her body in action is really different from ordinary people: it's like every step is on the water, light and fast, as if she can bounce high on tiptoe. Of course, transfigured people should not be able to perceive such nuances - just as they cannot experience subtle feelings, they can only understand rough and crude divisions.

"I'm not the only one. I heard that she visited several stores nearby last week!"

That is to say... Her stronghold is near here. It's not 100% sure, but judging from the time distribution of the evolutionist's crime, she is more likely to stay nearby - I hope he's still in time.

Wu Yiliu took some pictures on the screen, paid with the card Professor Qiao gave him, went out with the bag, and threw his clothes at the corner of the street. It seems that in the next few days, his task is to inquire about the evolutionist nearby.

Holding his mobile phone, he asked one by one in nearby stores. In order to make people open their mouths, he also bought a lot of messy things. Waiting for the beginning of night, Yiliu, who had nothing to gain, finally couldn't help being tired and fell down on the steps at the door of a small hotel with neon lights.

Maybe the evolutionist had already left after collecting materials

Someone knocked him on the shoulder from behind.

"I heard you were looking for me?"
