Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 136 This is a Game

"What's the matter? You ran out again without explaining anything?" Mama Lin complained to Lin Xiaodong who had gone and returned, "Why do you feel that you are busier than when you didn't resign?"

Lin Xiaodong didn't say a word, and walked straight to the oil painting hanging at home. This oil painting was different from the one he saw in the gallery. This perspective, which he saw from that place, did not have the so-called perspective of death.It was all the more suspicious because it was too normal.

"Mom, did you choose this painting yourself?" Lin Xiaodong asked.

"Well, that little girl recommended it, and it looked pretty good to me, so I bought it." Mama Lin said casually.

"Little girl??" When Lin Xiaodong heard this, he immediately regained his energy.

"Yo? Are you finally interested in girls?" Lin's mother obviously didn't know what Lin Xiaodong's "interest" was, and she looked at Lin Xiaodong with a smile while placing dishes on the table.

Lin Xiaodong also came to the dining table, chasing after Lin Ma and asked, "How old are you and what do you look like?"

Lin's mother took a look at Lin Xiaodong: "I can't tell, you have a rough temper, and you still like to draw?"

"Mom, you have to tell me, this is very important." Lin Xiaodong's face was serious, and he had no time to explain the reason.

"That girl is gentle and gentle, with double eyelids, rosy skin, a little oval face, soft-spoken, oh, and two dimples, it's okay, it looks very comfortable. Why? You just Didn't you see me when you went down?" Mama Lin looked at Lin Xiaodong curiously.

"Dimples? Is it because the hair is like this, tied in the back." Lin Xiaodong gestured to the way the girl tied her hair. He is a strong man with a shaved inch, and his actions at the moment looked particularly funny.

Lin Ma smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is called a bun, what is it like?"

"She gave you this painting?" Lin Xiaodong reconfirmed.

"Yeah, what's the matter with you? Are you interested in people? Or are you interested in paintings?"

Lin Xiaodong didn't answer, there was a gurgling sound in the room, it was his stomach growling.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten or slept for a long time, and it was okay when he didn't realize it, but now that he thought about it now, the feeling of fatigue suddenly surged up.

Lin's mother also heard it, and put the rice and chopsticks in front of him: "I don't know what I'm doing all day, I'm such a big person, I can't even take care of myself."

Lin Xiaodong picked up his rice bowl, looked at the empty seats across the table, and asked, "Where's my dad? Why don't you come and finish the meal?"

"Did he not tell you? There is a class reunion today, so I won't come back to eat."

After eating, Lin Xiaodong returned to the bedroom. The scene of insomnia last night was vivid in his mind, with lingering fears in his heart.

So much has happened this day and he needs to rest.

As if forcing himself, he closed his eyes. In fact, it was still early, but at around seven o'clock in the evening, the street market downstairs was still noisy, and various sounds mixed into his ears.

This kind of human noise, on the contrary, gave Lin Xiaodong a sense of steadfastness, his tense body finally eased a little, and began to slide towards the deep sleepiness.

All kinds of pictures flashed in front of my eyes. In the always black and white tones, the vast and dangerous swamp seemed to be unable to find a way out. The reeds, worms, crows, and the muddy waters full of aquatic plants seemed like It's an infinite loop of mazes, and he's going to be trapped in it.

Under the water, his hand touched some living creature, it grabbed his hand and dragged it to the depths of the swamp.

He struggled desperately, and sat up from the bed with a jerk.

When I woke up, it was pitch black, and the market downstairs had been quiet for an unknown amount of time.

In the silent darkness, he heard his heart beating violently, "thump, thump". Even though he had recovered and knew that it was just a nightmare, his heartbeat was still beating wildly uncontrollably, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead , as if he had really experienced a narrow escape.

That scene was too real, like a personal experience in another time and space.

The phone on the bedside table vibrated and rang.

This is a habit he developed after becoming a policeman. The phone rings and vibrates 24 hours a day, for fear of missing important news.

After resigning, this habit has not been changed.

Lin Xiaodong reached for the phone, only to realize that after a short rest from fatigue, his body was sore, and he dragged his stiff body to answer the phone.

On the other end was Yue Jianfeng's voice: "Team Lin, I asked the forensic doctor to examine the dots on the back of the heads of the two corpses discovered this time. It’s been too long, and it’s hard to tell what the specific drug is, but a small amount of strychnine was also detected in the assay.”

"What is strychnine?" Lin Xiaodong suffered from a severe headache and tried his best to concentrate on listening to Yue Jianfeng's narration.

"According to forensic medicine, it is an alkaloid that can excite the spinal cord and increase the tension of skeletal muscles. In other words, it is a natural stimulant. There may be other ingredients, we are not sure yet. In this convex Since then, we have detected a very small wound, which should be a pinhole."

"Someone sprayed them with medicine?" Lin Xiaodong reacted.

"Yes, the bump we saw is more likely caused by an adverse skin reaction after drug injection. If you don't pay attention, it looks like a mole. The main reason is that the drug should be injected directly into the spinal cord through a syringe. It is not a routine intravenous injection or oral administration. Moreover, we speculate that when these two people died, it had been a while since the injection of the drug, and the drug had basically been metabolized.

This time it would be hard to spot this situation if you hadn't found the wound in the same location. "

"These people were given some kind of stimulant that we don't know, and then died in the swamp..." Lin Xiaodong thought about it while talking, and then asked, "What's in the stomach of that corpse at the back?"

"It's also some bad food, mostly from the swamp, with undigested raw fish and worms..." Yue Jianfeng said, feeling his discomfort through the phone.

"Fun activities for survival in the wild..." Lin Xiaodong murmured suddenly.

"Huh? Team Lin, what are you talking about?"

"Ye Mimi joked in the wetland that she would develop interesting activities for survival in the wild there. I'm afraid she said this is not as simple as a joke. Ye Mimi, I almost forgot, she never talks nonsense. She wants to tell I, in the wetlands, someone is playing some kind of 'game', we don't know exactly what this game is for, but two things are certain, one is that the end of the loser is death, and the other is that this activity lasts For at least 40 years..."
