Chapter 62 Apartment 2

Chapter 61

As soon as Du Zheng woke up from a deep sleep, he was rarely satisfied at the beginning of the day.

He pushed the quilt away and sat up, turned around and got off the bed, almost stepping on the rolled quilt under the bed.Du Zheng stared at Roach, who was tightly wrapped in a quilt and curled up on the ground, with lingering fear. Only the back of his head was exposed, and his breathing sounded calm. He didn't even know that he had just escaped the storm of consciousness and was almost trampled to death. .

Du Zhengyi stepped on the little space Luo Qi left for him under the bed, and stood up carefully, with a sudden evil thought in his heart, and suddenly wanted to kick him out.He shook his head helplessly, walked over Roach, walked to the small kitchen area next to the entrance door, and poured himself a glass of water.

He thought about the satisfactory situation yesterday. The idiot Roach slept until midnight last night and somehow regained his confidence. It is estimated that his body is indeed recovering. Roche's curiosity also returned, and he secretly got up and opened the door to go out. Checked around.

Du Zhengyi woke up when he got up, lying on the bed without moving, listening to the sound of Roach's footsteps in the corridor, walking and stopping like a showman in surprise.Du Zhengyi almost turned over to lock the door. It took Roach more than 20 minutes outside to finally figure out that this was an empty and haunted unfinished building. During these 10 minutes, Du Zhengyi finally overcame his early I have already overcome the low taste, and didn't lock Roach out just to see if he dared to knock on the door.He listened to Roach come running back and tuck himself into the comforter under his bed before he fell asleep again, sort of like a pet.

Luo, the pet, the unlucky mascot, Qi Nai would be buried deep in his quilt, curled up comfortably.In fact, he woke up a long time ago, thinking about the situation where he betrayed his relatives for no reason, thinking that at the end of his life, he never expected that it would be Du Zhengyi who he always thought he could not get along with at all. .

He was thinking about Li Xu's evaluation of Du Zhengyi. Through the dimmed Li Xu's memory, he could also vaguely see Du Zhengyi's sporadic past. It was the perspective observed by a third party. Du Zhengyi undoubtedly Is a cold rampant mental illness.But as far as Roach is concerned, from his point of view, he doesn't feel at all that even Du Zhengyi's apartment, which is as simple as a mental ward, is a safe place to live for him.

He lay down and listened to the various small voices of Du Zheng getting up together, listening to him carefully stepping over his body, without saying anything, and tolerated him sleeping around.Others may think Du Zhengyi is indifferent, but Du Zhengyi's silence is a comfortable understanding for him.

Suddenly, Roach realized what he was thinking just now, and he was able to separate his thinking from others.

Luo Qi sat up from the ground, still wrapped in a quilt, staring blankly at Du Zhengyi who was drinking water in the kitchen.

Du Zheng subconsciously strengthened his mind defense line, but fortunately he didn't feel any tentacles of mind stretching over, but he was angry at the thought of having to guard against such a hairball.

"I seem to be a little normal." Roach hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly.

"That's really good news." Du Zhengyi looked at him suspiciously, "Shall I take you to the vegetable market for a try?"

Luo Qi backed up, "Give me some more time, I can just digest the garbage in my mind now."

"Even if you can reach a balance point by instinct, if you want to use it freely, or to put it mildly, if you want to ensure that your gates can open and close automatically, you need to go back to school and receive another four years of education." Du Zhengyi As if he didn't care at all.

"Then I can go back to school now?" Roach said in surprise.

"Of course not." Du Zhengyi said calmly, "Let me explain clearly how you were brought into Qionglin and how you were taken out. Although you can rely on Li Xu now, you can't stand it." scrutiny and investigation. Once you return to school, you will inevitably be interrogated in the presence of a conscious master. At that time, the most suspicious thing is how you suddenly have telepathy. Then it will definitely involve sealing you Brain man, I can't figure out how big of a vortex you've been involved in. Of course, I don't care about you, and I don't care if your parents are involved. I care about you fucking You are actually a high-level telepath, you are like the glowing LED lights inlaid on the surface of this matter, all eyes will be attracted to you. Since I entered Qionglin yesterday, everything has something to do with you, no, from Since the day I left school, I have been involved with you everywhere, so if they find out that you have more weight than they thought, then I will be implicated immediately. Everyone will think that I have a Big conspiracy, and I'm still a crazy pervert, I dared to steal Qionglin's defense crystal and shut down Qionglin's defense for several hours." Luo Qi listened quietly, the more he listened, the more respectful he became, and finally firmly Grasp the key point, "Did you turn off Qionglin's defense?"

Du Zheng frowned and looked at him, "Otherwise, with your crippled appearance that is neither human nor ghost, you can walk out of Qionglin's building and pass through half of the forest? Do you think you are invincible in the world when you open it? "

Luo Qi's mouth was wide open, and it took a long time before he said "oh", "I thought it was all because of the marks left on the wall by the seniors!"

"What mark?" Du Zhengyi asked him suspiciously.

"You know I can't see illusions, don't you?" Roach asked. "Of course now I know it's because of this barrier in my head."

Du Zheng nodded, and suddenly realized the problem, "That interrogation room is the oldest interrogation room under Qionglin, and it has always been used to interrogate telepaths. Could it be that someone took advantage of this feature and left it for the latecomers?" signal?"

"I think so," Roach said. "In my opinion, it's a rough dungeon. If you say it's the oldest interrogation room, you're right. The walls are all made of stone. The code is on the stone wall."

Du Zhengyi thought of the tapestry he saw on the wall, which described ancient legends from the age of mythology.He can distinguish the existence of the phantom, but Roach can see the body behind the phantom.If it is said that this was prepared by a certain imprisoned mind mage for the telepaths, then... "Didn't Li Xu see it?"

Luo Qi shook his head, "He probably couldn't see it. The code was too obvious. When I first sat in that interrogation room, I kept looking at the wall curiously, but Li Xu asked me what I was looking at. At that time, I thought that there must be illusions wrapping the walls in that room, I guess it might be to save trouble during the decoration..."

"Maybe Li Xu's telepathic ability is not strong enough." Du Zhengyi speculated, "Maybe that code is reserved for telepaths above a certain level. After all, it is the interrogation room used by Qionglin's mind master. If If it wasn't like this, I'm afraid it would have been seen long ago."

"Brother, to be honest, is my telepathic ability really high?" Roach asked worriedly. "The way the piece of mahjong looked like yesterday, he completely regarded me as a freak. He is also a telepath himself, but he wants to look at me like that, so how perverted am I?"

"Don't interrupt, what's the role of that mark in the interrogation room?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"That mark is a bit special. I will definitely want to study it when I see it. I am so curious. There have been many voices in that obsidian table urging me to touch it. I was not very conscious later, so I walked over I did so. After that, the door of the interrogation room opened. I didn’t think too much about it, so I hurried out. Then I walked up the underground corridor for a long time, and then there were lights on the road. I came across a fork in the road, but there was a sign on the intersection, I followed the sign all the way, and finally walked out through a basement door." Roach said, "Later..."

"Wait," Du Zhengyi interrupted him, "What kind of mark makes you so curious that you must go up and touch it? I know your claws are very cheap, but they won't be so cheap, right? ? Could it be that your name is written on the wall?"

"Would you want to touch your own name? Isn't that a bit narcissistic?" Roach asked.

Du Zheng was at a loss for words, and stared at Luo Qi.

"Okay, okay, I'll just explain it clearly." Luo Qi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't dare to go any further. "The mark on the wall is a green fluorescent smiling man."

Luo Qi looked at Du Zhengyi expectantly, waiting for Du Zhengyi to suddenly realize, but Du Zhengyi just looked at him blankly.

"Okay." Roach grunted a few times in disappointment, rubbed his nose, and began to explain, "The smiley man is an image in pop culture, from a smash hit anime, with a little bit of irony. I At that time, when I saw this thing was graffitied in Qionglin's interrogation room, what do you think I would think? If you knew what this thing was, wouldn't you want to go and study it? Do you have a mobile phone? I can Find it for you."

"I'll look at it later," Du Zhengyi said hastily, "You mean someone left a totem-like thing on the wall?"

"Hmm..." Roach pondered for a while, "You can almost say that. Anyway, it is very human and very popular culture. Ghost in the Shell has a lot of diehard fans."

"The interrogation room is very old. Before the renovation of the superstructure, this underground interrogation room already existed." Du Zhengyi said, "It's not easy to judge the person who left the mark, but if you say it this way, the person who left the mark It is the mage of the present world."

"Ghost in the Shell should have been popular in the mid-90s." Roach said, "The people who left the mark were probably in this time period, and I also thought of this."

"This person is not only a high-level telepath, but also a person who is not particularly old and has some understanding of human culture." Du Zhengyi continued, "He either selects the redeemed according to his telepathic ability, either"

"How did he manage to open the door of the interrogation room?" Roach didn't realize what he was talking about, and interrupted after thinking about it, "Shouldn't the door lock be set particularly hard?"

"It should be set in obsidian, just like the defensive crystal used by Qionglin. According to Qionglin's records, the obsidian in the interrogation room should have reproduced many thought fragments of the master of opinion. I think the person who left the mark He must have cracked the magic existing in the obsidian, and left his own magic in the obsidian. The mark he left should be used as a trigger. Once someone triggers the trigger, his magic will swallow the original magic and open the door Lock." Du Zhengyi said.

"Is he a prostitute?" Roach asked in a daze.

"What I'm thinking is, is he indiscriminately guiding the high-energy telepathic mage, or is he waiting?" Du Zhengyi hesitated, "You?"

"Me?" Roach hesitated for a while, "You mean, could it be my dad?"

"That's not impossible." Du Zhengyi said, looking at Luo Qi worriedly, "But what exactly is your father planning?"

Roach was speechless, and after a while he said without any hope, "Maybe he's gone crazy."

Du Zhengyi ignored his complaints, and said, "There is another issue that should be taken seriously, which is the starting point of this incident. Who pushed you to me at that time, and pushed you to the cusp of the storm. It was really Liu Li Is it? From what I know about her, I don't think so."

Luo Qi hesitated, his face was still pale, and there were serious dark circles under his eyes, which made him look a little pitiful.

Du Zhengyi looked at Roach and fell into deep thought.In that interrogation room, he couldn't see the markings that Roach could.With his ability, he can defend his thoughts, but he cannot guarantee that he will not be captured by illusions. However, under the reinforcement of his own strength and external forces, Luo Qi's barrier can completely isolate illusions.Is it possible to use an analogy, that is, Roach's barrier is too thick, and the solid barrier cuts off almost all magic possibilities.What if the magic wasn't just mind magic based on telepathy?Roach's predicament is very likely to be completely restricted by this barrier like a fortress.

"Anyway, you can't get around the most important clue that exists." Du Zhengyi said in a low voice.

Luo Qi didn't respond, and wrapped himself more tightly in the quilt as if he couldn't understand Du Zhengyi's words.

"Why are you pretending to be ignorant?" Du Zhengyi exposed him, "The instigator of all this will sooner or later find a chance to ask what's going on."

Roach angrily covered his head with the quilt, rolled himself back to the ground, and shouted through the quilt, "What are you talking about? I can't hear you."

"Is that why you don't want to face your parents?" Du Zhengyi didn't intend to let him go, "Are you still planning to hide with me for the rest of your life?"

Roach's vague voice came from the bed, "I can wash clothes and cook!"
