Chapter 26 Section VIII

Danny led us around a street corner, where a BMW was parked. He glanced warily at both sides, then quickly approached the car, and ducked into it.He poked his head out to look at me and Ningxue who were still in a daze, and shouted: "Why are you so dazed? Get in the car!" Ningxue and I looked at each other, then sat in the back. The car started and was almost speeding all the way. After turning left and right for more than ten minutes, it stopped on a messy street. Danny got out of the car, and led us to turn several turns before walking into a small house on the side of the street.

"This is a slum in Washington, where the poor live. Because of this, it will be safer for us to stay here!" Danny said as he closed the door. "What the hell happened? How did you become sneaky?" I asked. Danny smiled wryly, and his sharp eyes swept over Ningxue's face: "It's hard to explain, this is..." I briefly introduced Ningxue, and then asked, "Where have you been these days? Why are you still so scarred?" "Do you remember what happened that night?" Danny asked, looking at me. I shook my head: "I was knocked out, and I don't have any memory after that!"

"Yes!" Danny sighed, "You were knocked out at that time. When I turned my head, I saw some fierce faces. They were some Arabs. Do you remember that day when we just Those Arabs sitting in the lobby that you saw when you arrived?" I nodded, vaguely remembering that I did see a few Arabs. "They took my notebook roughly, perhaps seeing that the screen had turned black, a man with a mustache on his lips held a pistol to my forehead, and ordered me to turn on the switch of the notebook." "They thought it was your fault?" I laughed. Danny shrugged his shoulders: "Yeah, I told them that the machine has malfunctioned, and we can't see any pictures, and the line may have been broken. The man obviously didn't believe what I said, and the pistol swung twice , A few other people rushed over and beat me. To be honest, I really wanted to fight back, but my reason told me that impulsiveness would make things worse, so I had to endure it until I was knocked to the ground by them."

"Is this what was left over from that time?" I asked, pointing to the bandage on his head. "What happened next?" Ningxue interjected at this moment. Danny raised his hand and stroked the gauze on his forehead, and said with a bitter face: "They are very sharp and vicious, they must have received special training, I think they may be military personnel of a certain country, because the clothes they wear They are all hard leather boots, who would wear such uncomfortable things for ordinary people? After a while, the mustache ordered them to stop and asked me this question again. I could only make up a reason, saying that there was My personal password, if I don't open it myself, the notebook will start the self-destruct program. He believed me, handed the notebook to me again, and motioned for me to open it. I stood up slowly and made a I was about to open the program, and when they were not paying attention, I suddenly threw the notebook aside. These people were taken aback, and they all rushed up, trying to save them, so I took advantage of this momentary gap and rushed outside. Get out!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at me and explained: "Actually, in that situation, I can only try to get out first, and then come back to save you. If I carry you on my back, it is impossible to escape at all. And I Think, after I escape, only you will know the situation below, and they will not attack you for a while." I smiled and said, "In this case, I would do the same, you did the right thing." "And then?" Ningxue continued to ask. Danny suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, as if something unbelievable happened at that time.He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "I didn't expect their reaction to be so fast. As soon as I ran four or five steps away, gunshots rang out from behind. Their guns were all equipped with silencers, although I only heard There were two beeps, but I knew I was finished, no matter how fast I was, how could I be faster than the speed of a bullet!"

"Where did you get shot?" I looked at Danny again, except for the gauze wrapped around his head, there was no sign of any injury on his body. "I don't know how to say..." Danny stared at me with puzzled eyes, "...just when I felt that I was about to be pierced by a bullet, the room suddenly fell silent, as if I had arrived It’s the same in a vacuum. After two or three seconds, I was still standing there, and the bullet didn’t hit me!” "Their marksmanship is not very good?" I teased. "It's not stupid!" Danny corrected, "It's just that the bullet stopped only a few centimeters away from me, just like it was frozen, and stopped in the air!" He raised his hand and gestured.

"The Matrix!" I opened my mouth to say the name of a movie, because the picture that appeared in front of my eyes was not the protagonist Danny, but the Neo in black trench coat and sunglasses, and his classic line The lines - NO! "Unbelievable!" Danny shivered, maybe he had escaped from the death line and was still immersed in the unbelievable scene at that time, "It's like making a movie, I really can't imagine it in real life What happens in the movie: the bullets stop in the air, and the Arabs are frozen, but I can still move, this... this is simply unbelievable!"

I can understand Danny's state of mind at that time. An ordinary person living in the real world suddenly finds that time has stagnated one day, but he has transcended time and become an unlimited individual.No one can accept this kind of experience. If Danny is not dreaming, the shock to his soul will be extremely huge. "It's more than that!" Danny continued, frowning, "When I realized what happened, I wanted to run over to rescue you, but something even stranger happened!" I don't know what could be more unbelievable than what he just said, so I just listened to him with concentration and breathlessness.

"Just when my fingers were about to touch you, I saw that your body was like a painting that was stitched together, and gradually... no, it should be said that it disappeared piece by piece!" "Piece by piece!" I repeated, "You mean I was cut into pieces?" Danny shook his head fiercely: "I'm not lying, let alone dreaming, I don't even know how to describe what I saw at that time, you are like a spliced ​​painting, first scattered , floated into the air, and then slowly disappeared!" I can imagine the picture he described, which is just like the pictures we make with computers, the patterns that are divided into several squares are deleted in a way of gradually fading out.

I looked at Ningxue again, and from her cold eyes, I could see the taste of ridicule. Maybe to her, Danny's words were simply a dream, a hallucination! "And then?" I asked. "After that, my eyes just went blank, and I didn't know anything." Danny said, "Until I woke up from the beach last night!" "You were also thrown into the sea?" I laughed. "We are really a pair of fateful mandarin ducks!" The adjectives Danny used made me laugh and cry, but instead of correcting him out loud, I was judging how much truth there was in Danny's words.Even if there is no doubt about his identity, the way he said I disappeared is also very doubtful. If what he said earlier about the bullets stagnating in the air is true, then after a person is greatly stimulated, it is very likely that he will disappear. Hallucinations, maybe the scene he saw next was just a hallucination, not to mention, his identity is not unquestionable!

Leaving him alone, I wonder why Danny brought me here so urgently. After I asked this question, Danny shrugged his shoulders: "It's very simple. At that time, there were a few Arabs standing next to you. They have been staring at you not far away, and there are many doubts about the explosion itself. Don't you think the sudden intervention of the US government is itself very problematic?" This is also something I have been thinking about. Hearing his analysis, I nodded: "What do you think?" Danny smiled wryly: "Although the possibility of terrorists demonstrating against the US government cannot be ruled out, I still think it has a lot to do with the underground hole we discovered! Maybe someone is afraid that others will discover a certain secret underground, so that the It did. But, I don't know what happened after I passed out." "Your analysis makes sense." I nodded, "Then who is afraid that we will discover the secret inside?" "There are three possibilities!" Danny expressed his point of view with confidence: "First, this is indeed the behavior of the US government. The so-called line failure or terrorist demonstrations are just to deceive people. Second, those Arabs , This explosion was indeed done by them, but it was not to demonstrate to the U.S. government, but because they discovered the secret here, and they simply covered up the scene because they were afraid of being known by others. As for the third type..." Danny lightly Lightly frowned. I knew what he wanted to say, so I said, "The third possibility is what Rock did?" "Impossible!" Ningxue yelled when she heard my words, "How could he do this? He has been missing for a long time!" I smiled and said: "Don't worry, we're just guessing. I'm not without reason. First of all, this narrow hole was made by Rock. Since he chose the corner of a room in the hotel, why? Now that it has been discovered, the best way to cover it up is to completely destroy it. Secondly, is Rock really missing or is he hiding on purpose? Maybe he is by our side, staring at us secretly, As soon as he realized that some of our actions posed a threat to him, he took immediate action. It is also important to note that if what happened to Danny is true, then only Rock may have this kind of transcendence. The power of the law!" Danny yelled, "I swear to God, every word I say is true!" After listening to my words, Ningxue also stood up from the ground and shouted: "Impossible, if he is in Washington, right beside me, why doesn't he come out to see me? And why do you think there is anything ridiculous about Roque?" superpowers?" "Judging from his behavior of choosing these places, he does have superpowers that ordinary people don't have, or it can be called a thinking ability beyond ordinary people, because with our thinking, we can't think of what his purpose is for doing this. What does he want to do at the bottom of 300 meters?" Danny asked tit for tat. Ningxue and Danny argued: "Of course he is very smart, you are not him, so naturally you can't think of what he is going to do... If he has some ulterior motives, why didn't he seal the hole from the beginning, but wait until the end Did you do it when someone found out?" This is indeed an incomprehensible doubt. Did he keep this hole just for people to find out?incredible. "No, what did you just say? He has not only been to Washington, he has also been to other places?" Ningxue seemed to suddenly realize the meaning of Danny's words, and asked again. "Yes!" Danny said, "It can be called traveling around the whole world, specifically, seven irrelevant places on the seven continents!" "If you count the cruise ship that disappeared, it should be eight places!" I added. Ningxue slumped on the ground all of a sudden, her eyes began to glisten with tears again, and she murmured: "Oh my god, Rock, where did you go?" "It doesn't make any sense for us to stay here now, I think we'd better leave the United States as soon as possible!" I said. Danny asked, "So where are we going?" I smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "I think we should keep it a little secret. It's not unreasonable that walls have ears. I don't want to be thrown into the sea again."
