As a demon

Chapter 39

Later, Chi Yu wondered more than once what had deceived her.

With a little push to fuel the flames, Chun Yu quietly rectified the investigation team, allowing the investigation team headed by Min Xiu to operate according to her own wishes.

She threw Meng Qinglai's three unsatisfactory students to An Zhaojun, and sent a muscular man Bingyang to escort them.

Beside her are Lin Ou and Yang Xiaoyang who followed all the way from the slaughterhouse, one is her half-sister, and the other is the inhuman whom her sister likes.

There is Lao Lu, who is said to be the beast Lu Wu who guards the gate for the Queen Mother of the West. When he returns to his original shape, he is as big as 99 tigers.

As for Tao Wu——

Zouyu is a benevolent beast. In ancient times, a country was auspicious. When monsters and monsters saw her, they voluntarily sacrificed themselves as sacrifices. When people with evil intentions saw her, they would wake up to their sins and commit suicide.

Although she has weaknesses, such as allergies to blood, but she runs fast, traveling thousands of miles a day is just an empty word, and the actual speed of 200 kilometers per hour is not impossible, but can't she still run?

So what exactly is being overlooked?

There are obviously only a group of deformed people who have been ruined by biochemical experiments for most of their lives, and a group of poor people who knelt down and begged for help when they saw Tao Wu.

The person who took the lead in kneeling was surnamed Qi, and his name was Hong. At first glance, he was no different from ordinary people, except that he was bald and had less hair at an early age, so he seemed not to be affected much.However, when he pulled up his trouser legs, revealing the fin-like tissues on both sides of his ankles, Chi Yu knew that Qi Hong's normal was only relatively speaking.

"When and where did you come here?" Chi Yu turned sideways to make way for Lin Ou behind him, and stood still on the last step.Tao Wu wanted to go down, but she stopped her at the next level, "Let me rely on you."

Most of her focus was on Tao Wu, she was tired but not tired, her legs were weak.With all the calculations, she got up from the bed for less than eight hours and was in the stage of "severe observation".

Qi Hong had good eyesight, and saw that Chi Yu was the one who had the right to speak among the crowd, so he gestured backwards, and someone brought a bench immediately.

The wooden bench is rough in workmanship, but it has been used for a long time. The surface is covered with a layer of paste, reflecting the high-hanging electric lights on both sides, reflecting the oily light.

"I stood for a while, I lay down for too long."

Chi Yu didn't sit down, not out of dislike—everyone had been exposed to nuclear radiation, and the rope that tied the grasshopper couldn't form a chain of dislike.It is purely a painful experience, and I am determined to bid farewell to the soft-legged shrimp.

Qi Hong put down the bench, rubbed his hands awkwardly, and thought of answering the question: "We have been here for half a month, and most of them are from Ganlong." Started, "A few of them came from Anxi."

Chi Yu asked again: "Where's Qi Dafa?"

Qi Hong's pupils shrank suddenly, obviously surprised, "Do you know Dafa?"

"I don't know." Chi Yu said bluntly.

"Then you..."

As soon as the "President" got angry, he choked unceremoniously: "Don't ask me any more questions, is that okay?"

Fighting pays attention to knowing yourself and the enemy, and you must have an attitude of asking for help when asking for help.It has been 80 years since the feudal dynasty collapsed. You can't just kneel down and have no previous details, so you have to uphold justice and solve problems.

"Oh, oh. Meal time, we have a lot of people here, he is helping in the kitchen, do you want him? Tell him to come here now?"

"No, I'll ask you the same."

Qi Hong nodded again and again, "You ask." While looking at Tao Wu's expression, "We brought back a lot of sacrifices, God..." He couldn't think of how to call the beast for a moment, and the gods and gods called it all at once.

"Tao Wu." The humanoid beast raised the brim of its hat, probably intending to show its identity, its eyes were shining brightly.

People lying on the ground covered their mouths one after another, sobbing softly.However, once the public sentiment became intense, it was difficult for individuals to control themselves. After a while, the sound of babbling and babbling wailing occupied the dark room.

Chi Yu looked back.

Old Lu leaned against the side of the closed secret door. Seeing her turn around, he pointed to the candlestick on his shoulder indiscriminately, which meant that the switch was here, so there was no need to worry about it.

She was slightly relieved, ignored the mournful sobs in her ears, and continued to ask Qi Hong.

It was different from what Chi Yu thought, not all of them were tipped off by Qi Dafa, for example, the batch brought by Qi Hong departed from near the sandbar.

"We heard that there is a restaurant in Shazhou that buys special livestock, as long as they die naturally. It seems to be prepared for Tao...um... I heard that the two of you made a reservation there, and sent someone to wait at the street that night. "Qi Hong said, scratching his ankle, "It seems that you have discovered it."

"It's you." Tao Wu remembered.

Leaving the private restaurant, she clearly sensed that someone was peeping, but she couldn't find out the source.Unable to discern any malice in it, she put it behind her.

A man in a green coat in the crowd raised his hand weakly, "It's me."

The green coat is open with the front of the coat open, and the left and right chests are raised high, but they are not symmetrical.His face was vicissitudes, but his complexion reflected a pale greenish white, revealing a yin that had not seen the sun all year round.

Before coming to Tianyou Town, Chi Yu had a lot of mysterious guesses about Tianyou Town.

The reason why few people know about Tianyou Town is simply because secret weapons are involved, so even if the files are kept, they are still classified as top secret.

The residents who were evacuated from Tianzhu Town were broken up into pieces. Those who were of the right age, like Ms. Jiang, found someone to marry, and those who were helpless, like An Zhaojun, found a suitable family to adopt.

Those who have the whole family and have important secrets are bought out at one time and placed in the uninhabited mountains and deep valleys.

Chi Yu racked his brains to think about why there must be no one in the world, why he should escape from the world.When Tianzhu Town was disbanded, it happened to be in the red wave of reform and opening up. They went to the south and went to the coast casually. Why not hide in the city, why not hide in the wild.

Is the secret too hot to touch, or is it hard to tell?

All secrets involve a lot, and all privacy comes from invisible people.

Too much.

she thinks.

What is it for, and for whom is it that so many people are turned into inhumans and ghosts?

Certainly not to defend the country and its people.

During the secret conversation at the Shazhou private restaurant, both Mr. Sha and Professor Liu pointed out that Tianyou Town is privately run.

"When was Tianyou Town established? Who was the founder?"

"This..." Qi Hong looked around the crowd and called out, "Grandma Jin Yun."

"Hey." An old lady at the back wiped away her tears and stood up tremblingly. The middle-aged man on her right saw this and hurriedly supported her.

"The elders know better about the past." Qi Hong introduced the old lady to Chi Yu in a low voice, "Bi Jinyun, everyone is called Grandma Jinyun, she is the oldest in our group, and the town is built by her generation. Build it." After finishing speaking, Xiao ran over to pick up Grandma Jin Yun, and then stood aside with the middle-aged man with hands down.

Grandma Jin Yun is 78 years old now, her spirits are hale and hearty, and her wrinkles seem to have bloomed. She seems to live a more comfortable life than some deformed people who have suffered a lot.

It was inconvenient for the old man to speak standing up, so Chi Yu gave her the wooden bench and sat on the steps casually.

The bench was high, and Grandma Jin Yun sat on it higher than Xiao Chi, but Chi Yu didn't care, and looked up at her with his chin propped up.

"Tianzhu Town is very early. My parents brought us here when I was four or five years old. At that time, more than [-] people escaped and came here. Adults and children really couldn't walk. My brother saw that my mother was going to hug me, so he didn't want to walk. , squatting on the ground crying and screaming, and rolling. It doesn’t matter if you don’t fight, who knows that this place was opened by chance, and the sun was shining at that time, so the adults said, just come down and hide from the sun.

"God's will, it's all God's will.

"The conditions here are not as difficult as they are now. Now there are yellow sand and stones everywhere. At that time, it only took five miles to drink water and fifteen or six miles to plant crops. It was good enough, very good. We escaped, who can do it?" Thinking that there is still such a good place, I didn't expect it to be so big later.

"One household today, one family tomorrow, and one village the day after tomorrow.

"Puchang sea has good feng shui until... I was 14 years old, and my brother got married at 16 years old. We can still dig water ten miles away and hunt old geese in the fields.

"Wait for my brother to get married for more than a year or two. Life will be difficult. There will be no water outside."

Even though Grandma Jin Yun was getting old, she had a very clear mind, and used her age as a reference to explain the big events in detail.

While listening to her, Chi Yu sorted out the timeline.

The historical factors of the formation of Tianyou Town account for a considerable proportion.

The generation of Grandma Jin Yun's parents should have fled from the inland west to Puchanghai to escape the war.

The natural potholes provide shelter from the wind and the sun. To the surprise of the refugees, although the resting place they passed by unintentionally is underground, the air is very fresh, the space is spacious, and there are no poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

At that time, there were still rivers flowing into Puchanghai, and the water and grass along the banks were abundant and the land was fertile. Compared with the hometown where the war was torn, it was in line with the current situation and reason to choose to settle here and form a settlement.

Over the next ten years, more than 200 people moved here one after another.

"When I was sixteen or seventeen years old, the good times were over. Bing Ye went to the fields one after another, advising us to go back where we came from. If we want to go back, we will go back. But if we go back, we have no home, old people and children No more, the house and land are gone, and things have to be handed over to the team. Who has something to hand over? No? Houses, ancestral halls, and coffin boards are demolished. We also need to burn earthen kilns and steel materials. Report ten catties, after reporting ten catties, burn twenty catties or fifty catties, which one can be burned? If it can’t be burned, it can be used to grow crops. One mu of land needs to grow ten mu of grain, and if it can’t be planted, it needs to go to the shed. Everyone Put together ten mu of land and hand it over as one mu of land..." (Note 1)

Some people are getting older, and the sweetness is reserved for themselves, while the unclear bitterness has to be chewed by the audience.

However, the background of the time was different. Just listening to the old man's narration, Chi Yu really couldn't understand what kind of life it was like to burn bricks and burn steel on an acre of ten acres of land. He felt a little sleepy when he heard it, so he buried his face in his collar and yawned quietly.

However, those who understand it, such as Lin Ou, are suddenly in awe of the living witnesses of history.

"Hey, ten mu of land has been handed over. We have so many people, what do we have to eat..."

"I couldn't stand those days, so we came back together. We walked for about two years, and when we came back, there were already people here. It was a few young people, who looked a bit like soldiers—comrade soldiers, but not like them. The leader That, later became the mayor that Xiaohong's father called him."

Speaking of this, the old lady kept wiping her eye sockets, "We don't understand anything, that person told us that this place belongs to them, and even took out the paper with symbols, who knows what it said. We walked a long way , begged him to let us rest overnight.

"That person agreed and told us to take a break, which lasted for 30 years.

"In the first few years when I came back, the man said that there was no way to farm outside. They had food and drink, and they asked us to work in exchange, and they didn't have to pay us what we didn't have. It's a great thing!

"People come here one after another, all skinny and skinny, and some dig mountains with us to build houses for the group of newcomers to live in..."

Qi Hong added in a low voice: "At this time, Tianzhu Town began to have researchers entering the venue, and the residents were divided into two types according to the division of labor. One type is doing infrastructure construction like Grandma Jin Yun, and the other type is engaged in scientific research."

The old lady fell into the memory and said to herself: "We built houses one by one. At that time, we still thought, what should we do after the construction is completed? Is there any new task for us? Can we still eat the food given by the government?"

Qi Hong bent down, covered his face with his upper arm, and laughed lowly for no reason.

This pathetic and ironic laughter startled Grandma Jin Yun, she turned around and grabbed Qi Hong's hand, pulled it into his hand and patted it gently.

Qi Hong's red eyes were bulging, and he clenched his teeth tightly. He wanted to take his hand away from Grandma Jin Yun, but the old man clenched the pale hand with full veins even more forcefully, as if he wanted to grab the past that was let go by him. chance.

The old lady said: "The house was built endlessly, and the people behind told us that people were eating people outside, so we didn't want to leave. The first mushroom cloud opened." (Note 2)

Chi Yu was refreshed and sat up straight unconsciously.Here we go, the main event.

"The mushrooms have been opened for seven months, and my eldest son was born."

A group stays in one place for a long time, and the men and women in the settlement are digested internally, and they are bound to continue to grow. The group of Bi Jinyun who returned to Tianyou Town is also fortunate or unlucky. Most of them are young and in the prime of life.Knowing each other well, a man and a woman see each other well, and they can use the sky as a matchmaker to bridal on the spot.

Bi Jinyun's eldest son was born in summer, and the thunder rolled.

"My eldest son was born with twelve fingers." Grandma Jin Yun spread her hands, "There are multiple index fingers on the left hand and multiple little fingers on the right hand. It's very strange. But there are no legs, and there is a mass of flesh under the knee. Baby As soon as the umbilical cord was cut, I only took a look, and the midwife took the baby away. She said... baby... baby is stillborn..."

The old lady choked up and couldn't speak.

The suffering started from here, no, it was already there before, but Bi Jinyun didn't understand, didn't understand.

Qi Hong said: "In the early days, Tianzhu Township was divided into two factions. Mr. Xiaochi, as I just said, the later researchers, and Grandma Jin Yun and others...construction personnel. The researcher's protective clothing is always on the body, and the construction personnel are... casual Take some vitamins. There is very little communication between the two factions. So no one told Grandma Jin Yun to take care of herself."

The old lady: "In the second year after my eldest son passed away, I was pregnant with my eldest daughter. When I was five or six months pregnant with her, a few great dancers came to the town. When I was born, the great gods sang outside the delivery room. Ah, jump. The eldest daughter was born healthy and beautiful, but she was also taken away by the midwife, saying that the baby will have great promise in the future and will be a great contributor to the town."

Qi Hong: "The tradition of jumping the gods continued until the evacuation of Tianyou Town. In fact, in the second generation, my father's generation, many people knew that once the mushroom cloud was released, the children born would have problems...and deformed. But After the mushroom cloud opened, dancing to the gods and singing witch songs can indeed reduce the chance of some babies being deformed. This is a statistical conclusion."

An old man and a young man spoke almost at the same time, and there were obvious differences in the words used in the narration. Chi Yu listened to Bi Jinyun with his left ear and Qi Hong with his right ear, and was able to find some doubts: Puchanghai’s nuclear test protection quality and safety standards should be at the top level After all, the lethality of the atomic bomb has attracted worldwide attention and shock. The explosion area must have been screened and checked over and over again, so there is no reason to radiate so far.

Chi Yu raised his hand and signaled the two to pause, "Grandma Jin Yun, how do you know there is a mushroom cloud outside? Did someone tell you to go up and see?"

"Outside?" The old lady was a little surprised. "It's not outside on the ground. It was in the square a few times ago. It was so big that it was almost as high as the ceiling. Someone called for fireworks, so we all went out to watch."

"You mean..."

Lin Ou pointed in a certain direction dumbly, Chi Yu understood what she meant.Meng Qinglai fell down by herself, and outside the elevator shaft where she was pushed down by Chang Liang, who was hypnotized by the monster, there was a large empty square with a height of more than ten meters.

Chi Yu stood up slowly, pacing on the steps in a small area, not only moving his legs and feet, but also activating his mind.

Bi Jinyun's parents set foot in Tianyou Town for the first time (it was an underground tiankeng at that time), and it was still in the period of war.It is estimated that it is not far from the founding of the country.Two bombs and one satellite test were carried out on the ground, and a nuclear test was also carried out in Tianyou Town hidden underground. This test directly affects the human body, and does not even give pregnant women any protection or warning.

What made her feel absurd and grotesque was that, while carrying out nuclear tests that degraded humanity, she also pulled people to dance and sing witch songs, so she came to the conclusion that witchcraft is indeed effective in alleviating deformed fetuses caused by nuclear radiation. .

Too many slots.

Chi Yu waved his hands a little irritably, cleared his mind, and asked the two of them, "Why did you evacuate and abandon Tianyou Town?"

Qi Hong spread his hands and said, "There's nothing to eat."

The old lady was in a trance, and her eyes that had been clear just now were stained with the wind and clouds of the long years, and now they were turbid, "Everyone is dying, and I am left with an old bone. Dead dead, crazy crazy...I still keep it." What are you doing?"

"Second brother, help grandma go back." Qi Hong said to the middle-aged man on the other side of the old lady.The latter nodded and called "Mom" to the old lady.Grandma Jin Yun was in a daze, and with the support of the middle-aged man, she struggled to stand up.

The middle-aged man turned his back, and Chi Yu saw a wrist-thick tail attached to his back, which bounced out of thin air from time to time and swayed from side to side.

The residents of Tianzhu Town have been working in a high-risk environment for a long time. There are only a handful of old birthday stars like Bi Jinyun. Most of the construction personnel died young, and researchers were no exception.

More than [-]% of the remaining second and third generations were born with different limbs. In the town, you have me and everyone has it. It seems nothing special.But to the outside world, it is difficult to show people their true colors.

Therefore, the person whose appearance is no different from ordinary people assumes the responsibility of communicating with the outside world.

"From what I can remember to the three years before the evacuation, there were people who regularly drove large trucks to deliver supplies. One car went back and forth five to six times a month, and the two shifts alternated. We had food and drink, so naturally we didn't worry about going outside.

"But one day, when I was sixteen or seventeen, a car left and never came back. We never knew why he disappeared, whether it was an accident, or he was bored with this kind of work. Then I went out, and I probably knew Why……"

Qi Hong's voice was rough, and he broke down in tears several times, "Having seen the outside world, probably...wouldn't be willing to face such a large group of us...monsters..."

No, that's not the case.

Chi Yu subconsciously looked at Tao Wu and saw the same answer in his eyes.

Mr. Sha, or it is more appropriate to call him the murderer Sha, who killed the driver Jin Long for 100 yuan.He thought Jinlong was stingy and refused to lend him 100 yuan to buy him a bride price, so he killed the delivery driver angrily.Little do they know that he is the lifeblood of a town in Tianyou Town.

"The remaining one came back and told us that the outside world is becoming more and more strict, and the household registration is being checked everywhere (Note 3). When going out of the city and entering the city, there are often surprise checks on the highway. He always brings such a large amount of goods and is easy to be traced. Tianzhu Town...

"Tianzhu Town is no longer a good place for Grandma Jin Yun's parents to come to. We can't survive without land for us to plant, so... slowly...

"Transfer batch by batch."

But living outside is harder than dying. It is not so obvious to have one or two different limbs in each batch. People who look normal on the surface deal with outsiders.

The darkened chamber filled again with sobs and whimpers.

A four or five-year-old girl staggered out of the crowd at the behest of her parents. She had long ears hanging down to her shoulders, like rabbit ears.

In front of Chi Yu, she bowed decently, and then timidly went to pull Taowu.

Tao Wu went down to the ground, held her little hand in both hands, and knelt on one knee—she always did this, paying inexplicable but sincere respect to any life, from the inside out.

"Hi..." She greeted the little girl in a low voice, touching her long ears, "Your ears are very cute."

"No!" The little girl shook her head vigorously, and big tears rolled out of her eyes, "It's not cute! I don't want them, other children will laugh at me when they see them. They say I'm a monster! Can you help me?"

Tao Wu asked softly, "You really don't want it?"

The little girl shouted without hesitation: "No!"

"Then I... take them away for you." Tao Wu's tone sounded quite lost, and while speaking, a faint mist overflowed from her fingertips and drifted towards the little girl's ears.

For a moment, the secret room was as quiet as a vacuum.

Everyone's eyes were focused on those long ears, only Chi Yu watched Tao Wu quietly enter the crowd and transform into his original form.The extremely light mist slowly rose from the ground, slowly climbing onto everyone's feet.

"Speaking of which." Chi Yu snapped his fingers in front of Qi Hong to arouse his attention, "Why do you know that Tao Wu will come back to Tianzhu Town, can you..."

She followed Qi Hong's straight gaze and looked at the little girl.

The dense fog hadn't dissipated yet, and the little girl seemed to feel something, and slowly raised her hand to touch her shoulder.In the usual position, she didn't touch the soft and annoying ears, she slowly raised her hands up, and everyone's eyes followed the hands that were clenched into small fists slowly upwards.

The long ears are literally gone!

Cheers broke out in the secret room, and more people wept with joy.

Chi Yu retracted his sleeve and patted Qi Hong through the sleeve, "Hello, Mr. Qi!"

Qi Hong looked back blankly.

But at that moment, Chi Yu's eyes were also uncontrollably attracted by the white light, and he followed the divine beasts that shuttled through the crowd.

It is tall, but its proportions are extremely graceful.The hair is transparent milky white, the whole body exudes a soft halo, the tail more than twice the length of the body swims in the air, like a dragon, every movement is light and nimble, showing the essence of creation.

"Boss Koike?"

Chi Yu managed to look away from the divine beast, coughed lightly, and asked, "How do you know that Tao Wu can help you get rid of the alien... Alien limbs?"

Qi Hong said with a sigh: "I see."

Chi Yu was puzzled: "What did you see?"

Qi Hong focused all his attention on the beast, and murmured incoherently: "When the mushroom cloud blooms, I can see it, and it has saved many people. The beast Zouyu, it was like this before, before, a long time ago... Ha... "

"It's so beautiful..." Lin Ou let out a sleepy sigh, "Oh my god, it's like this..."

Yang Xiaoyang hugged Lin Ou's arm, the sheep's ears were faintly visible, and his tail kept wagging.

Chi Yu admits that her beasts are beautiful, but as for the ones so coveted?

She curled her lips and turned to look for Lao Lu.

Old Lu was calling her, "Little Yuer."

Chi Yu went up to the platform behind the door two steps at a time, and said in his heart that he knew that a private room should be set up, and he took turns to register for consultation.

Lao Lu pointed to the door with his thumb: "Shall I take you to see the real Tianyou Town?"

Chi Yu uttered a monosyllable lazily, and was about to decline, but after a second thought, he asked, "Is it far?"

"Next door." Lao Lu slapped the wall with his big palm, "Just let Tao Wu come and find us when the time comes."

When he mentioned Tao Wu's name, the divine beast looked over feelingly and nodded to them.

The mist rose to adult knees.

Chi Yu waved at her and mouthed, "I'll wait for you."

Tao Wu was inspired by sound transmission: "For a while."

That was the last sentence Tao Wu left her.

As soon as he turned into the narrow path next door, Chi Yu's heart beat heavily, and then he beat three times rapidly and weakly, as if his energy was about to run out.After that, she couldn't feel her heartbeat for a long time.

She paused for a few seconds, then pulled her legs back to the dark room where she had been away for less than 5 minutes, but before reaching the door, there was a loud rumbling sound under her feet, the ground shook, and the rock walls on both sides squeezed in the middle.

She was hit backwards heavily by the flying square slab, until her back hit the rough and hard rock wall.

Smoke and dust billowed, and people rushed out of the broken stone gate crying, but she couldn't hear the sound of people, only a sharp and long humming beside her ears.

hum-

hum-

hum-

Earthquakes came one after another.

Chi Yu desperately tried to push away the square stone slab pressing on his chest, and the crowd followed one after another.

Thick smoke obscured the sight of those who had just got rid of the alien limbs, and they rushed outward like headless chickens, with no time to care about their feet.

Just a second before the first pair of feet set foot on the slate, a soft cloud enveloped her, saving her from the weight of the slate.

She saw clearly that the square stone slab was originally a part of the stone gate.

She thought that Tao Wu was the one who saved her, just like countless times in the past—the countless times she knew, and the countless times she didn’t know—that he fell from the sky at a critical moment and saved her from fire and water.

But not her.

"Little Yuer, little Yuer!"

"Yu Bao'er..."

She saw the disgraced old Lu and Lin Ou open their mouths wide, calling her, calling her, and she could tell the content from the shape of their mouths.

But she couldn't hear it.

"Where's Tao Wu?" She heard herself asking.

But she heard no answer.
