Chen Zhi was very surprised when he saw Teacher Guo's photo and immediately asked: "Do you know him?"
"Yes." Mr. Bao nodded, actually smiled at Chen Zhi, then turned and left the hall. The man in black behind him also followed, leaving only the old man and Chen Zhi staring at each other.
At this time the old man said: "Little brother, come with me, I will show you something."
The old man took Chen Zhi into a study room that was equally well-decorated. There was a solid wood workbench with magnifying glasses, microscopes and other tools on it. Teacher Guo's Omega watch was placed on the table.
The old man sat on a chair, put on his reading glasses, used a very delicate screwdriver to unscrew the back cover of the watch, raised his head and asked Chen Zhi: "Look, do you recognize the words here?"
Chen Zhi lowered his head and looked. When the back cover of the watch was opened, a precise gear was revealed. The gear was densely engraved with small dots. The old man handed the magnifying glass to Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi used the magnifying glass to take a look and found that those small dots were all
Densely packed text.
"I don't know him," Chen Zhi said in a low voice.
"I'm just an ordinary citizen. If this watch belongs to you, then I don't want it. I can't care about any secrets you have. I have old people at home and can't get involved in these things. I'll go back first." Chen Zhi turned around.
About to leave.
"Don't leave in a hurry." The old man stopped him with a smile on his face. "This watch is yours. You can take it back. It's useless for us to keep it. My surname is Jin. They all call me Lao Jiandou. I'll meet you in a few days."
Contact you." The old man handed the watch to Chen Zhi and shouted outside: "Third son, send him back."
Chen Zhi left the villa in a car. The guy who saw him off was the young man named Sanzi. He was wearing a black coat and was very serious and didn't say a word the whole way. When the car stopped downstairs, the neighbors looked at him in surprise.
Chen Zhi, who was sent back by a Land Rover, discussed that Chen Zhi might have become rich, while Gou Shifei hid in the crowd and stared at him, not daring to come forward.
In the next few days, Chen Zhi called to find a job as usual, but he was absent-minded. An intuition told him that this matter was not over.
Sure enough, a few days later, Lao Jiandou called Chen Zhi and asked him to meet at the Bishi Pavilion, saying that they had something important to discuss. The black Land Rover was parked downstairs again, and the third son in a black coat was there.
Smoking outside.
The difference this time was that Sanzi had a very good attitude towards Chen Zhi and even offered him cigarettes.
When Chen Zhi walked into the hall of the Refuge Pavilion again, he found that Mr. Bao and his vicious men were gone, leaving only Lao Jidu sitting there.
"My boss is out of town. He is very busy. If you need anything in the future, please come to me." Lao Jiandou always had a kind expression on his face when he spoke.
"What does your boss do?" Chen Zhi asked.
Lao Jiandou handed Chen Zhi a cigarette and said, "You don't need to know this, but if you need any help in the Northeast, the boss can provide it to you. I heard that you are looking for a job, right?" Lao Jiandou lit up his cigarette and asked.
"How do you know? By the way, you are agents." Chen Zhi thought to himself and nodded.
Lao Jiandou continued: "I will give you a job. The pay is not low, and it is a bit dangerous, but we will ensure that your family will have no worries about food and clothing from now on. Are you willing?"
"Can I say I don't want to?" Chen Zhi asked back. As soon as he said the words, he saw the third driver walking over, reaching for his gun again.
"Don't, don't, don't." Chen Zhi had had enough, these people were really unreasonable.
"Go and pour tea," Lao Jiandou said to the third son. The third son smiled, turned around and left.
"I said..., at least I need to know what you want me to do! I won't do anything to kill people..." Chen Zhi said very reluctantly.
"Don't worry, I don't need you to kill people," Lao Jiandou replied as if he found it funny, and then continued,
"In the past few days, I have investigated the Youth Forge. There are indeed some problems in that factory. There was an incident in that factory that agrees with what you said."
After finishing speaking, Lao Jiandou put out his cigarette and began to tell Chen Zhi what he had investigated in the past two days.
Lao Jiudou and the others found out that the youth forge was very old. It was established in this city together with Z Steel during the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was mainly responsible for the forging and processing of precision metals, but it was not clear what it did specifically. The staff inside were very mysterious.
It was directly transferred by the state. Later, for unknown reasons, it closed down in 1999. The workers there had left the local area for various reasons and can no longer be contacted. However, we did contact an old man named Xu Zhigang who once worked in
I worked as a watchman there.
This Xu Zhigang is now over 70 years old. He drinks drunkenly every day, curses people and beats dogs, talks nonsense all day long, and no one believes what he says. When Lao Jiandou found him, he didn't say anything at first.
, staring wildly and cursing people, and later guessing what tricks Lao Somersault had used, Xu Zhigang suddenly burst into tears, and then told the whole story an unbelievable thing.
At that time, Xu Zhigang was a temporary worker at Youth Forge. His main job was to record daily situations in the duty room and guard the factory gate at night. Xu Zhigang liked this job very much, and the factory director was very kind to him. He gradually discovered that the workers in the factory were
Some very high-quality intellectuals work in a closed environment, with food and accommodation in the factory. They produce day and night, and they don't know what they are forging.
In fact, Xu Zhigang basically had nothing to do during the night shift, so he just sat around in the duty room. The workers were very busy, and no one paid any attention to him. Xu Zhigang had a bad habit and was willing to take a gamble. That day, the factory asked
To purchase a batch of important parts, all the factory staff had to work overtime at night. Just in time, a mahjong board called him. Three were short of one, and Xu Zhigang felt itchy.
Xu Zhigang went to beg his best friend Lao Wang, asked him repeatedly to cover a night shift, and bought a bottle of Laobaigan as a gift to him. Before leaving, he saw Lao Wang pouring Laobaigan into a commonly used military kettle and told him to finish.
He would come back early so that he could go home and sleep. Xu Zhigang thought that even if others saw Lao Wang replacing his shift, they would not say anything. First, there was really no work in the duty room at night, and second, these workers were usually very friendly to him.
Xu Zhigang's gambling game did not go well. After losing four rounds in a row, Xu Zhigang was very disappointed. He found a tavern to drink and went home drunk. As soon as he entered the factory gate, he felt that the entire factory was unusually quiet, not to mention the inaudibility of human voices.
There was not even a sound of a dog barking.
Xu Zhigang walked into the factory and saw that no one was there. They were all gone. Even Lao Wang was gone. The whole factory was empty and inexplicably scary. The military kettle with wine was placed on the table. He walked over to get it.
He picked up the kettle and shook it, and found that he had hardly drank anything. Xu Zhigang was very puzzled, because he knew that the workers in this factory would not leave easily. Besides, where did Lao Wang go? It seemed that everyone disappeared overnight.
Xu Zhigang was very drunk and went home to sleep without thinking too much. In the middle of the night, when he was sleeping soundly, he felt that the quilt kept falling under his feet, as if someone was pulling down his quilt. Xu Zhigang rubbed it angrily
He sat up with his eyes and looked down at his feet. At that moment, he was frightened out of his wits.
He saw Lao Wang crawling at the end of the bed and pulling his quilt hard. Lao Wang was covered in blood, and the bones in his hands were exposed. His head was deformed as if he had been bitten by something, and his chin was gone, revealing a sinister look.
Ya. Laowang cried in a strange voice: "I died for you!"
Xu Zhigang was suddenly frightened and woke up. It turned out to be a dream and it was already broad daylight.
During breakfast, Xu Zhigang told his wife about this with lingering fear. She laughed at him for being drunk and asked her to go back to work quickly.
Xu Zhigang returned to the Youth Forge in a daze. As soon as he entered the door, he saw all the workers working normally inside. Xu Zhigang felt that he might have thought too much and wanted to ask where they had been last night, but
He found that no one greeted him, even Xiao Wang, who usually joked, ignored him. Xu Zhigang was very puzzled and thought, could it be that Lao Wang's replacement was discovered last night?
He walked to the duty room and found that Lao Wang's wine bottle had not been taken away. Drinking was not allowed in the factory, so he quickly put the wine bottle into the drawer. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was something in a corner under the table.
Blood.
Xu Zhigang touched the blood, but it was still sticky and not completely dry. His head shook violently, and he felt that something was wrong. Something might have happened last night. He pretended to be strolling around the factory and found that
A lot of strange things happened.
The positions where the workers stand are different. Xu Zhigang has been working here for so long that he knows where the workers are standing with his eyes closed. But now most of the workers are standing in the wrong position, and the way the workers work is also different.
It’s different. Although Xu Zhigang is uneducated, he also knows what the original workers were developing, but now the workers seem to be repeating several actions expressionlessly, as if they are imitating the original work scene together.
Xu Zhigang returned to the duty room confused. When it was time to eat at noon, he found that no one went to the canteen to eat. He did not dare to make a sound. The factory was eerily quiet, with only the sound of machines turning. It was probably almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the bell, the workers suddenly stood up collectively and walked in rows to the canteen at the back. Xu Zhigang was frightened and followed behind.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, the workers were sitting neatly. There were many large plastic basins on the table. When Xu Zhigang looked into the basins, he was immediately frightened. The basins were filled with bloody meat and large pieces of bones.
At this time, all the workers rushed to the basin, grabbed a piece of meat, put it in their mouths and bit into it. The bones in the meat made a crunching sound, and the workers devoured it like animals.
Xu Zhigang was so frightened that he almost cried out, but he had been a soldier when he was young and had some courage in him, so he gritted his teeth and held on. Xu Zhigang was stiff for a long time and did not dare to move. At this time, he realized that all
All the workers' heads turned to him, with confusion and strangeness in their eyes. What made his hair stand on end the most was that in the far corner, Lao Wang was sitting there, looking at him with the same eyes.
Xu Zhigang is a very perceptive person. He immediately understood that all the workers in the factory were dead, and what was in the basin was the flesh and blood of these workers. The people sitting here now do not know what kind of monsters they are. If he behaves like these monsters now
Otherwise, you will immediately become the meat in the basin and be eaten by these monsters, leaving not even the dregs left.
Xu Zhigang picked up a piece of meat. The meat was bloody, with marrow coming out of the bones. His stomach suddenly churned. He was heartbroken, bit the meat into his mouth, and chewed loudly. His mouth was immediately filled with the smell of blood, and his stomach was full of blood.
The acid water had reached the throat. The monsters seemed to have no doubts and turned their heads away. After eating the raw meat, Xu Zhigang saw some of them taking off their hair and applying something like glue on it. They
The exposed top of the head was red and bloody, as if it had been skinned.
