Screaming Cycle

Chapter 8: Lost City of Ashes-08

Ji Lu exchanged glances with Mo Tiangen again.

Although the muttering voice of the strong man in the blue sportswear is very soft, but with only a few words that are exposed, they are almost certain that these people-at least this person, are different from them, he must know something Information they don't know.

But Ji Shu and Mo Tiangen couldn't ask directly.

If you ask directly, it is tantamount to revealing their ignorance of the situation, and thus losing the bargaining chip to obtain intelligence.

In front of strangers who are not familiar with the details, sometimes it is necessary to pretend to be coercive.

Therefore, Ji Yuqiang suppressed the mountain and sea problem, looked calm, turned around and returned to Ren Jianmo, pretending to bend over to get his hiking bag, taking advantage of the opportunity of facing everyone, raised his left index finger, and compared it to his lips. Made a "silence" gesture.

Ren Jian glanced at him silently, didn't express his position, wondering if he understood it.

Ji Lu couldn't make any more hints. I just hope this beauty who is unfortunately suffering from amnesia can be smarter, and don't just dismantle their platform inadvertently.

However, he changed his mind. Ren Jianmo was not a talkative character. If no one asks him a question, he can’t make a fart with eight sticks, so just wait for a while to pay more attention to yourself and don’t let him follow these newcomers. If you contact alone, you probably don’t have to worry about leaking your mouth.

In fact, even Ji Lu himself didn't realize it. He and Ren Jianmo had only known each other for less than half an hour, and they had already unconsciously regarded each other as his own.

Just like he used to take care of his teammates younger than himself, Captain Bird spread his wings and fluttered like a mother chicken, trying his best to put people in his own shelter.

Ji Shu took up the mountaineering bag, opened it, and distributed the drinking water and food to the six newcomers.

While distributing things, he paid attention to these people.

Except for the big cheek-gang man in blue sportswear, the other five people are young people in their twenties and thirties, two men and three women, a couple and a good girlfriend, and A haggard man dressed as an office worker.

These five people were all in a panic and at a loss. At first glance, they were definitely not a spectacle of their own situation.

Ji Lu didn't say much, just greeted a few people to eat something first, and when faced with the three young girls, he calmed down a few words.

It was probably that Ji Xiaoniao’s appearance was too soft and confusing. Seeing that his attitude was so kind and peaceful, the few people felt flustered before they knew it. They took food and drinking water, and barely affected their facial muscles. Give him a wry smile on behalf of gratitude.

Ji Lu finally came to the strong man in blue sportswear and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat something?"

The muscular man in blue stared at him with scrutinizing eyes for a long time before he took the bread.

"you……"

His cheek twitched, then turned to look at Mo Tiangen on the side, and finally turned his gaze to Ren Jianmo who was a little far away.

After going back and forth three times like this, he spit out two words with difficulty, "You, it's impossible to both..."

But his words only went to this point, and he suddenly stopped his voice as if he had suddenly remembered something.

"Oh?"

Ji Lu was not in a hurry, raised his eyebrows, smiled and said: "It can't always be what?"

This time, the strong man in blue closed his mouth like a mussel, and refused to say a word.

The six newcomers were obviously also hungry. After they got the water and food, they were not polite, and they just sat down on the floor, unpacked them, and began to gorge themselves.

Ji Lu noticed that several of them seemed to be faintly centered on the blue-clothed strong man, even when they were resting, they did not dare to disperse.

He didn't say much, just returned to Ren Jianmo generously and continued the unfinished meal.

"Hey."

Mo Tiangen also leaned over, lowered his voice and said to them: "What do you think...?"

He omitted the subject, but it did not affect Ji Shu's understanding.

"The other five are hard to say, but'he' must know something."

Ji Lu bit the accent on the word "he".

Mo Tiangen nodded slightly with the action of chewing sausage. At the same time, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the strong man in blue cast his gaze at them several times, and his eyebrows couldn't hide his anxiety.

"Thief and rat eyes are not good at first sight."

Teacher Dagen takes more than 400 students for a school year every year. It can be considered countless people to ask himself, and he has a lot of eyesight to see the essence through face to face.

When he first saw Ji Shu, he felt that this baby was good-looking.

Classmate Ji Xiaoniao, as the name suggests, is a beautiful baby face, with sheep-like curls in his hair, a delicate nose and a delicate mouth, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes, large and bright, with slender tails. The slight drooping makes the whole person's temperament look particularly well-behaved.

Teacher Mo looked at him as if he saw the good-tempered top students in the school, and couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness.

As for Ren Jianmo... Mo Tiangen admitted that he couldn't understand the depth of this person at all.

People who are too ugly or too beautiful will inevitably have a sense of distance from other people, especially Ren Jianmo's stunning appearance, high temperament, and extremely mysterious origins, just like NPCs in RPG games, especially unreal.

So even if Ren Jianmo claims to have amnesia, Mo Tiangen can hardly feel angry or disappointed with him after asking three questions. On the contrary, he feels vaguely "as it should be". After all, the peerless masters in martial arts novels are deep. If you can't hide it, how can you get it through casually?

To Ji Shu, Mo Tiangen felt that he was close to his own eyes; to Ren Jianmo, he didn't want to but dare not to be beak too much before he could fully understand the identity of the other party.

But the strong man in blue is different.

Regardless of other things, just the alert hidden in the other person's gaze made Dagen-teacher feel ashamed. Even if the strong man in blue hasn't done anything yet, just this obvious hostility is worthy of their vigilance.

"Look, it's not just us."

The three of them sat together, eating and talking in a low voice.

Ji Yu stretched out his hand, lightly tapped the black watch on his left wrist that could not be taken off, and said: "The few people over there are all wearing the same watch."

Mo Tiangen turned around and pretended to flip through the bag, and quickly swept around the six newcomers, "Yes, they did wear them too."

He paused, "So, anyone who appears in this city will definitely wear this kind of watch?"

Ji Shu nodded.

Ren Jianmo didn't seem to hear what the two were talking at all, and he just bowed his head intently to eat.

Mo Tian didn’t even expect Ren Damei, Ken Yan, to open a golden mouth. He didn’t care, and continued to analyze: “I guess, this watch may be some kind of timing tool. He can show us that we are here. How long has the place been...just like the plot progress bar in an RPG game."

Ji Shun nodded again.

He has also made several guesses about the purpose of this watch. Teacher Mo's hypothesis is also one of the various possibilities he has conceived.

"In addition, there is one more thing."

Mo Tiangen raised his hand, slightly nodded in the direction of the six, and said:

"Except for the muscular man in blue sportswear, I have seen five other people in'that car.'"

"'That car'?"

Ji Lu was stunned for a moment, and then opened his eyes wide, "You mean, the maglev rail car we're on?!"

Mo Tiangen nodded very surely.

He got on the car early and just happened to sit in the last row of the maglev rail car that derailed and crashed from the bridge. He was so bored along the way that he could only pass the time by observing the passengers coming and going in the car.

So he noticed the classic tomato scrambled egg color uniforms worn by Chinese athletes by Ji Shu and his teammates. When he saw Ji Shu in the city, he also recognized this baby-faced at the first time. Little Curly is one of those young athletes.

And now, after carefully distinguishing it, he has nine points of certainty. Except for the muscular man in blue with bad eyes, the couple and girlfriends, and the haggard office worker, they should have had an accident in that car at that time. On the maglev rail car.

"I see."

Ji Lu imitated the signature posture of a well-known detective, touched his chin, and then turned to look at Mo Tiangen, "Except for the strong man in blue, everyone else is in the car-can you be sure of this?"

"Those five people, I only have seven points at most."

Teacher Dagen shrugged and answered honestly: "As for the one wearing blue sportswear, I am 100% sure that he must not be in that car."

What he didn't tell them was that he was so sure because of a mentality similar to that of a male peacock showing off his feathers.

Mo Tiangen is a fitness sculpting madman, and he is extremely confident of his beautiful muscles.

Just like a girl who is losing weight will always involuntarily observe whether young girls on the street are fat or thin, Mr. Dagen is also particularly concerned about the figures of men.

Therefore, he believed that if the strong man in blue was also in the car at the time, he would have noticed the bulging tendon in the first time.

"That said, I have a bold guess."

Ji Tuan raised his index finger and tapped twice on his chin, "If you say, the people on the railcar at the time were like you and me, and came here inexplicably, but didn't know what happened. if……"

As he said, he raised his hand, and under the cover of his body, pointed in the direction of the muscular man in blue, and then raised his chin to Ren Jian silently. This is the case."

"So when that person saw us before, did he say the word'experiencer'?"

Mo Tiangen pondered for a moment and understood, "Because he felt that we acted too calmly and didn't look like newcomers, so he suspected that we, like him, are also'experiencers'?"

He turned his head to look at the beautiful Ren Damei who had been silent, "So, it's not your'first time'?"

Ren Jianmo did not immediately answer.

He frowned and thought about it for a moment, "I don't remember."

He paused for a while, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the strong blue-clothed man with two different-colored eyes, one dark and one light.

"Although I don't remember what happened to myself before."

Ren Jian was silent for a while, and then he said shockingly:

"However, I'm pretty sure that the man has a gun."
