In the mirror, the professor standing behind was extremely sharp and shouted at the stiff Tang Rou, "It's a monster!"
Who? Killed who?
Tang Rou's heart was beating very fast, and some kind of speculation seemed to be sprouting from the ground, taking root in her heart.
When she turned around, Professor Yamada looked gentle and seemed unable to see what was in the mirror.
Behind him, there was nothing.
"What's wrong, Xiao Tang?" The professor seemed confused as to why she stopped.
"Kill it!"
That voice was like a rope, wrapping around Tang Rou's heart.
"Professor Yamada, are you 72 years old?"
"Yes." He sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect you to still remember."
"Professor, I have never been able to ask you." Tang Rou smiled, but her mouth was stiff, "That night three years ago, you jumped from the cliff. Which cliff was it?"
"It's Qingdong Mountain and Rainbow Bay behind the institute."
Tang Rou's breathing was stagnant.
It took her a long time to find her voice, "Then do you remember how you survived?"
Yamada was stunned for a moment, seeming to be lost in memories.
But I can't remember it.
"I...I don't remember clearly." He looked a little troubled, "But I heard that it was the search team of the joint military that brought me out of the sea. Is there any problem?"
He looks too gentle.
Three years ago, Yamada was called a mad scientist, which was also related to his violent temper.
Tang Rou thought at first that his edges had been smoothed by time. After all, Yamada's return was endorsed by the Federation, so no one would think too deeply about it.
But once you think about it, you will find that there are loopholes everywhere.
Rainbow Bay is nearly 100 meters away from the sea. It is named because the water splashed by the waterfall into the sea always refracts to form a rainbow. She often goes there during university weekends.
Water is a fluid, soft and beneficial to all things, but it strictly follows the physical characteristics of fluids. When it hits the water surface at high speed, under the acceleration of gravity, the water will become as hard as steel.
Non-professional divers may suffer fractures, paralysis, or even death if they jump from a height of twenty meters.
The cliff where Yamada jumped into the sea was probably nearly 100 meters high.
What is the probability of surviving for an old man who jumped from such a height into the sea with determination to die?
The answer is 0%.
Her fingers were shaking, but she was still smiling, "Professor, do you still remember the graduation thesis that you rejected?"
"Is the DNA sequence of deep sea dwellers compared with the DNA sequence of eukaryotes? That paper was well written, but it was not easy to get high marks."
Tang Rou's mind went blank.
Her paper was not made public, only Professor Yamada read it, and only the two of them knew about it.
"Come on, I can feel that someone is looking for you."
The professor interrupted her daze and emphasized the word "人" very delicately.
"Professor, goodbye." Tang Rou stretched out her hand.
Yamada shook hands with her.
"Kill it!"
"Kill it quickly!"
Tang Rou said goodbye to the professor and turned around.
The warmth that came from the professor's palm when I shook hands with him still remains in my palm.
Cool and moist.
There seems to be a thin layer of mucous membrane on the palm, like rubber wetted by water.
Tang Rou has no way of knowing what Professor Yamada experienced that night three years ago.
It bears the face of Professor Yamada, possesses all his memories, has a gentler temperament, and even... doesn't even know that it is not Yamada.
During the chat just now, it stood completely from the perspective of a "human" and seriously discussed the problem with Tang Rou. It even quietly handed her the storage device in the tea box and asked Tang Rou to find "him"
's son.
Tang Rou could feel that it really thought of herself as Yamada.
So what is it, a product of the laboratory?
What is that in the mirror?
Tang Rou shook her head. She discovered some time ago that she had acquired certain abilities that she could not explain.
She seemed to be able to see the real past and future. She had relied on this inexplicable ability to see the scene where Aslan was killed by a monster, she had seen the woman falling from the building and fell on the sculpture, she had seen... Xiao
rather.
She originally thought they were all dreams or hallucinations, but in the end they were all confirmed to be true.
So now this inexplicable ability has added other functions?
Tang Rou still has many questions, but she has to leave. This office is under surveillance. If she rashly exposes her abilities, she will fall into a passive position.
After all, in the story, the person who dies earliest is the person who knows the most.
Tang Rou walked out of the faculty building and received a call from Atherlan, her tone filled with lingering fear.
"Xiaorou, are you still at the Oceanographic Research Institute?"
After getting a positive answer, she lowered her voice on the phone,
"I really wonder if the Tower of Babel is going to fall. There was mass hysteria in the medical center this afternoon. The therapists were fighting together like crazy. I just saw a lot of people wearing goggles passing by."
"A group fight?" Tang Rou said, "I always thought that goggles were for special creatures..."
"It's a special creature!"
After walking around the corner, the girls in front of her came down the stairs with her, and they were talking about theism that Professor Yamada mentioned in his speech.
On the phone, Aslan continued, "Do you know how many people have died? They were all suicides. It's so terrifying. I didn't even see the creature show up."
The sound of rustling wind came from the woods, and the chirping of cicadas seemed to become longer and longer.
Tang Rou stopped.
"...I don't know why the super creature suddenly appeared in the medical center. Now the entire medical area is sealed off. Didn't you see that posture..."
The sound in the earpiece was interfered with by some force, distorted and elongated, like a voice changer that was deliberately slowed down and made weird.
The world has also changed. Tang Rou first smelled a wet and salty smell, a bit stuffy, like the low pressure before a heavy rain.
The sky seemed to be higher, and even the shadows of the trees were stretched out, looming overhead.
A few girls walked in front, and their figures grew longer, looking as weird as gummy candy in a funny mirror.
Unaware of it at all, they talked about theism while walking, but they didn't know that "God" had quietly arrived at a certain moment.
Tang Rou looked around, this time it was not a dream, she was not asleep, and the scene in front of her was not the future.
But in the current reality, she witnessed alienation before her eyes.
Aslan's voice completely disappeared.
A dark red light shines from the surrounding classroom glass windows, like the color of blood illuminated by something.
The originally bright scene on the campus was covered with a dense layer of gray, and the flower beds and green plants with green branches seemed to have withered and curled up after being burned by the fire. The entire campus looked like the scene of a doomsday disaster movie.
And the distorted figures walking around the campus seemed unaware of all this. Tang Rou was the only sober ant in the entire weird world.
This familiar feeling made her think that she would soon see a long-haired psychopath appear.
But no, she walked through the corridors and walked into the teaching building, but she was never there.
Isn't it him?
Tang Rou realized something and raised her head to look out the window.
The sky does not have those silver eyes
Every time the long-haired psycho appears, the scene is not the current time and space, but the so-called "future".
The campus in front of us is a real campus in the current time and space.
