the next day.
The two of them boarded a plane to the imperial capital early in the morning and started their journey again.
"I don't want to be an astronaut at all now."
Gao Yang was sitting in the first class cabin, with a grimace on his face, and turned to look at Lin Xian:
"When elementary school first started, the class teacher asked us to stand up one by one and answer questions about what our future dreams are and what kind of person we want to be when we grow up."
"At that time, I stood up without hesitation and said that I would be an astronaut in the future. But these past few days, I have been flying back and forth with you, going to space, and riding in spaceships... I really felt sick from sitting, and I miss you more than anyone else now. The ground, I never want to go to heaven again.”
Lin Xian chuckled, recalling the first lesson of elementary school:
"At that time, 40% of the boys in the class dreamed of becoming astronauts. Because when we were in elementary school, it was just two years after the success of the Dragon Kingdom manned space project. What little boy doesn't want to become an astronaut?"
"Actually, the main reason is that the children at that time had little knowledge and did not know that there were many professions and many kinds of lives in the world. In everyone's eyes, besides teachers and policemen, they were astronauts and scientists... At that age, the horizons were so big, the world Just how big.”
"I remember you also said at the time that you wanted to become a scientist, right?" Gao Yang turned his head and looked at Lin Xian:
"Do you still want to be a scientist now?"
"forget about it."
Lin Xian closed his eyes, still clicking in his hands, trying to crack the password lock of the diary:
"When I realized that I couldn't become a scientist with my IQ, I gave up decisively. Then I played parkour, learned to draw, and prepared to take the college entrance examination route for art students."
"Oh, dreams are such a thing, don't give up too early." Gao Yang patted his chest and abdomen:
"Look, isn't my dream of becoming an astronaut coming true? Life is like this, maybe something will happen to you at any time, and you might actually become a scientist one day!"
"I wish I had that brain."
Lin Xian turned his head and looked out the window.
Can a scientist be anything he wants to be?
If he could really become a scientist, he would definitely invest in the study of the cosmological constant as soon as possible, and he would definitely find out the truth about the mysterious number 42.
Now, almost all the mysteries around us are revolving around 42.
When the true meaning of the cosmological constant 42 can be thoroughly studied, there is a high probability that all these mysteries will be solved.
In the semi-encircled cockpit on the right, Gao Yang's rumble of snoring sounded again.
That's it for sleeping in seconds.
The other person would fall asleep immediately if he missed his words or had no time to answer... It was such an enviable superpower.
Click, click.
Lin Xian still kept flipping the combination lock in his hand.
Ever since he left the hotel in the morning, he has been in this posture and action:
Half lying down,
The left hand holds the diary by its spine,
The right hand is holding the combination lock,
Push the code wheel and click the lock; push once; click once.
Now the wheel on the combination lock has reached 6432...6431...6430...
It is estimated that when the plane flies to the Imperial Capital Airport, he will be able to exhaustively try more than 3,000 passwords.
But don't.
If I had known that the password numbers were so small, I should have tried one digit upwards from 0000.
But there is no way, the exhaustive method is like this, exhausting every possibility, you can always find the correct answer.
Soon after, the flight attendant delivered first-class meals.
Gao Yang stretched out three fingers:
"Three servings."
"Okay sir." The stewardess smiled politely and enthusiastically, and brought Gao Yang a few more staple foods and fruits.
"It's good to have money, Lin Xian."
After the stewardess left, Gao Yang leaned over and whispered to Lin Xian:
"I used to fly in economy class, and the food was not that good. I would be reluctant to ask for two portions every time. It's nothing like this! You can get as much as you want! The attitude is pretty good, and they even squat down to serve! There are enough fruit tubes!"
"You get what you pay for."
Lin Xian said lightly:
"No equivalent exchange."
…
After the plane landed, the hotel Lin Xian booked sent a special car to pick him up. The two threw their luggage into the room and immediately set off to return to the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital and create the first Xiruidu Community.
They had a tacit understanding and quietly passed by the small square in the middle.
as expected.
The kind old woman was still sitting there peeling pomegranates.
One grain at a time, slowly and carefully, gently pinching it up with your fingers and then putting it down gently.
"She really loved her daughter."
Gao Yang said softly:
"I chatted with her for so long that day, but she didn't even ask me to try pomegranates. I didn't insist on eating other people's pomegranates... It's just that the Shandong people are warm and hospitable in their bones. At this time, they will be more or less polite. let."
"But she never did. In her eyes, this was peeled for her daughter Zhang Yuqian, so she wouldn't give a single pill to anyone else. Hey, tell me, what if--\u003e\u003e
These two girls are both thousand-year-old piles, and the thousand-year piles were also intentionally laid down and artificially created..."
"How heartless do you think this person is? He took someone else's daughter who had worked so hard to raise her for twenty years and drove her into a stake! After the drive, her soul was shattered and not even a hair was left. How can her parents live? She is really the scum of the world!"
"Yes, it is unforgivable."
Lin Xian nodded, rarely agreeing with Gao Yang on the same thing:
"But now we can't be so stubborn...after all, we have no idea what the Millennium Pile is."
"Huiqiao also explained to me that the term Millennium Pile was created by her, just to make it difficult for us to understand and not affect the elasticity of time and space, so it can be said. The original name of Millennium Pile is definitely more accurate and more appropriate. More straightforward and easier to understand.”
"So, now we subjectively sound like the Thousand-Year Stake is a tool and a bad thing. But what the fact is is completely impossible to judge now. But... I hope that the truth is really as you said, that the Thousand-Year Stake is man-made Those who were beaten were manipulated.”
Gao Yang opened his eyes wide.
Looking at Lin Xian in disbelief:
"Why? What do you think?"
"Why do you think it's a good thing that the disappearance of Chu Anqing and Zhang Yuqian was man-made? What's your logic?"
Lin Xian hummed softly:
"Because any man-made thing can be stopped or even reversed; if he can make the Thousand-Year Stake disappear, then the reverse operation will definitely make the Thousand-Year Stake return to its human form."
"If this is the case, we only need to find that person, and maybe we can directly rescue Chu Anqing. Just be afraid... Thousand-year-old piles are not man-made, but some other force that we cannot understand. If you resist, it will be really troublesome.”
While talking.
The two of them have arrived at Building 22.
I still pressed the elevator, came to the familiar floor, and knocked on the familiar door.
Boom, boom, boom.
Half a minute later, a middle-aged man, Zhang Yuqian's father, Zhang Shi, with half-white hair and simple clothes, opened the door and looked at the two of them with a wary expression:
"Young man, if you keep pestering like this, I will call the police. Although I don't know what your purpose is, I don't want to talk to you too much about my daughter."
"Uncle Zhang."
Lin Xian stepped forward and looked directly into his eyes:
"You lied and concealed a lot about your daughter's car accident in 2000, which happened in the early morning of Zhang Yuqian's 20th birthday."
"Zhang Yuqian did not die in a car accident, nor was she cremated or buried, but disappeared out of thin air... right in front of your eyes, in the car, she turned into tiny blue stardust and dissipated like crystal dust."
"you!!"
The middle-aged man suddenly looked ferocious and gritted his teeth:
"Nonsense! What a load of nonsense! Get out of here right away!"
Say it.
The middle-aged man immediately closed the security door.
Snapped!
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Lin Xian grabbed the lock of the anti-theft door and opened it:
"Uncle Zhang, we have no other reason to come to you. You don't have to be afraid or afraid of anything. We are here to seek your help today, and at the same time, we are also trying to find ways to help you."
"Let me go!" Zhang Shi hit Lin Xian's arm.
"Do you still remember the girl who was mistaken for your daughter by Aunt Yan Qin next to me in Xidan Shopping Plaza that day?"
"let go!"
Zhang Shi had no intention of listening to Lin Xian and pulled the door hard:
"If you don't let go! I'll call the police!"
"[She also turned into blue stardust and disappeared...in the early morning of her 20th birthday, at 00:42.]"
In an instant, Zhang Shi lost all strength. His hands softened, and Lin Xian opened the security door directly, hitting the wall with a bang.
He himself has no intention of taking care of the security door anymore.
His pupils trembled and his face turned pale.
Slowly raised his head.
His face was shocked, and he looked at Lin Xian with some evasion:
"Then... that girl, your female companion... also... disappeared?"
Lin Xian nodded.
"The kind that disappears... turns into blue, crystallized, like rising sand, intangible, weightless, and just... scattered without being touched? The time is also 00:42!?"
Lin Xian nodded again.
Then he turned and looked at Gao Yang.
It seems...
The two guessed correctly.
The situation when Zhang Yuqian disappeared was exactly the same as Chu Anqing's; that's why Uncle Zhang Shi has been so evasive and unwilling to talk more about this matter.
but now.
He was obviously convinced by Lin Xian.
"Uncle Zhang, can we come in and have a nice chat?"
Lin Xian pointed to the room and looked at Zhang Shi:
"We will tell you what happened to that girl, and we hope you can tell us the truth about Zhang Yuqian's car accident..."
"Maybe things are not as bad as you think. It is true that Zhang Yuqian disappeared, but maybe she did not die, but went to some place that we don't know and can't understand."
"Believe us, Uncle Zhang, you miss your daughter, and we also want to save our friend. Only if we are honest with each other and compare these two things that are more than 20 years apart, maybe we can discover the truth. Maybe..."
He stared at Zhang Shi:
"Maybe we can help you find your daughter."
finally. --\u003e\u003e
Zhang Shi sighed.
He stepped aside and stretched out his hand to signal Lin Xian and Gao Yang to enter the room:
"come in."
His voice was very soft:
"Come in and talk."
…
On the coffee table, two cups of hot tea were steaming, with Maojian tea leaves rising and falling inside, finally standing in the middle and slowly sinking to the bottom.
"24 years ago, January 21, 2000..."
On the sofa, Zhang Shi scratched his gray hair and spoke with difficulty:
"It was my daughter's birthday. Although it is true that she was born in the early morning, no one celebrates their birthday in the early morning. We originally planned to celebrate her birthday during the day after waking up. Your aunt and I both love our children. Birthdays She booked the best hotel, the biggest cake, relatives, friends and her classmates all shouted a lot..."
"My daughter is also 20, she has grown up. Although a 20th birthday does not need to be as big as an 18th birthday... But my daughter likes to be lively, and we also like to be lively, so the birthdays are not small every year. , we are also very happy.”
"It started from the night before, January 20th. That night I took my wife and my children back to my hometown, and had a party with my childhood friends whom I hadn't seen for many years. We talked late and drank a lot. . So by the time we drove back to the city from our hometown... it was almost early morning."
"I drank, sat in the back seat, and was a little drunk. My wife was driving, and Qianqian was sitting in the passenger seat. She didn't have a driver's license, she was only a sophomore in college, and I didn't plan to let her learn to drive so early."
"Just like that, we were talking and laughing along the way, and Qianqian was also chirping, discussing tomorrow's birthday. My wife had just learned to drive and drove slowly. There were not many vehicles on the road at that time, so everything was quite safe. Yes, nothing will happen."
"However, everything happened very suddenly. My daughter was talking and laughing about things in the university dormitory. I half-closed my eyes and listened. But suddenly... it suddenly stopped, and there was no sound at all. And then there was My lover’s scream! She shouted Qianqian’s name, and the car crashed into the tree beside the road.
"At that time, I quickly opened my eyes and saw...look...look..."
The old man couldn't help but choked up a little. He swallowed a few mouthfuls and gritted his teeth:
"I can't forget that scene. It's like a nightmare. A good living person! Such a big Qianqian! It suddenly became transparent... like broken glass! It turned blue in an instant. The fine sand dissipates into the air in clumps!"
"Then there was a bang, and the car hit a tree, and I woke up from my drink. I first glanced at my lover Yan Qin. She was so frightened that she couldn't control herself except screaming. I glanced towards When I was in the passenger seat, I also took a look at the electronic clock on the center console... It was the same time as you said when that strange incident happened..."
"00:42."
Zhang Shi raised his head and looked at Lin Xian.
In a daze, Lin Xian felt that he had aged several years.
Zhang Shi paused and continued:
"Then I got out of the car and looked for Qianqian everywhere... but I couldn't find her. Then I ran to the passenger seat and touched the seat. It was still warm. This means that my daughter was still there just now. One day He was obviously sitting in the passenger seat a few minutes ago and was still wearing his seat belt."
"But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared... turned into blue crystals and disappeared without a trace like fine sand blown by the wind..."
"Over the years, I have actually thought about whether my daughter did not die at all and just went to a place we don't know about? But my wife, her spirit has collapsed since then, and her life has been in danger several times. I have lost My daughter... I can’t lose my lover again, right? So I packed up all Qianqian’s things, put them in the coffin, and pretended to bury her.”
"To the outside world, he died in a car accident. In the 2000s, unlike now, many things were easy to handle. Procedures, death certificates, etc. were all easy to obtain. But that's not important. I do this One step is also for my lover.”
"My daughter, Qianqian, if she is really alive, I can wait slowly. But my lover's condition at that time was that he wanted to live or die, or even jump off the building. I didn't dare to give her any stimulation. I had to stabilize her first. Emotions are what matters. I hired the best psychiatrist, came to the Imperial Capital, left that environment, and conducted hypnotic guided treatment on her..."
"Now, although her consciousness is still unclear, as long as she is not stimulated, she is generally mentally stable. Now in her consciousness, her daughter died in a car accident. The scenes she thought she saw at that time were nothing but It’s just an hallucination caused by overstimulation of the brain.”
"Compared to that kind of fantasy and outrageous incident, it is uncomfortable to be uncomfortable and sad to be sad, but the common reason of a car accident is more or less acceptable to my wife. After so many years of treatment and recuperation, he is finally stable."
"Young man, I didn't mean to lie to you. Look at my current life. My daughter is gone and my career has been given up. My lover is the only thing left in my life. I must take good care of her."
Say it.
He picked up the teapot again, filled Lin Xian and Gao Yang's tea cups with tea:
"That's the thing. My wife and I are already at this age, and many things are already acceptable. Moreover, my wife's spirit really cannot be tolerated. You have also seen her appearance. She is obviously only in her 60s. , but he is as old as eighty years old, and he really can’t afford it.”
"I am willing to tell you this today because you said the same thing happened to your female companion, so I said it. As for what you said... you can save my daughter, find my daughter and so on... …”
Zhang Shi sighed and shook his head:
"After more than twenty years, I have given up hope. If you have such thoughts, I am very grateful to you. At the same time... I also wish you that you can find the missing companion and girl as soon as possible."
"But I really hope this is the last time we see each other. Count me begging --\u003e\u003e
You, young man, don't bother us anymore. Our lives have finally stabilized. "
"Everything I told you today is absolutely true, without any concealment... I hope you will believe what I said and stop embarrassing us and stop looking for Yan Qin."
…
Zhang Shi said it very sincerely.
Lin Xian also nodded.
He believed that what Zhang Shi said this time should be true.
It was also consistent with what he expected.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, we won't come again."
Lin Xian straightened up:
"It's just...there is one last detail that I need to confirm with you."
Zhang Shi stretched out his hand and motioned for Lin Xian to speak out.
"[Excuse me, when you were driving home that night, did you ever see an apple-sized, shining blue light, constantly jumping and flashing, like a small blue electric ball with lightning gathered inside?]"
Lin Xian gestured with his hands to describe the size to Zhang Shi:
"It's just a small blue electric ball of this size, erratic, weightless and without substance... Did you see it that night?"
Zhang Shi thought for two seconds.
Shaking his head solemnly:
"No."
He added:
"Although I drank a lot that night, I kept my eyes half-open and looking ahead. At least there was never a small blue electric ball in the car. There was no one outside the car either. My wife's eyesight is very good. If there was, If it were so late at night, she would definitely be able to see it if it was a small ball."
"Then that day at my hometown, my wife was always with Qianqian, playing mahjong with relatives, and I had never heard them say such a thing... If there really was a small blue electric ball, it would be so obvious and strange Everyone will definitely discuss the matter, and both Qianqian and Yan Qin will tell me about it. "
"So... I'm afraid I disappoint you, young man."
Zhang Shi raised his head and looked at Lin Xian:
"[I am very sure that the night Qianqian disappeared...there was no small blue electric ball at all.]"
