I wanted to urge Xiao Guo to speak up several times, but Wen Baoyu stopped me with gestures. I became anxious and glared at Gobi Desert: "You two, please stop making strange noises, okay?" The Gobi Desert immediately clenched its hands into fists and stopped making any noise.Xiao Guo also raised his head at this time, his face was pale, but his voice was still calm: "The other party has already expected that someone will follow, so he was prepared, but we thought he was unprepared, so we ended up in such a mess." I was quite impatient: "Don't analyze the battle situation, let's talk about the battle situation!"

Xiao Guo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's really embarrassing to say--I rushed to the four streets away from the newspaper office and met our follower, and at that time, the target was just 20 meters in front of me, a small car. The truck, I can clearly see three people and an iron box on the truck compartment." When Xiao Guo said this, he paused for a while, each of us looked at each other in dismay, and was shocked in our hearts——As far as Xiao Guo's ability is concerned, under such circumstances, there is really no possibility that we will not be able to keep up with the target!

Of course, we can't imagine what happened out of thin air, everything has to wait for Xiao Guo to speak. At this time, Xiao Guo had completely recovered his senses, and he explained in detail what happened next. After listening to Xiao Guo's narration, there was at least three minutes of silence—because everyone needed time to digest, or to say, to accept everything Xiao Guo said. Xiao Guo's experience is indeed not acceptable all at once. When Xiao Guo thought that although the communication was cut off, if he rushed to the scene as soon as possible, the matter would not be irreversible, he was not wrong at all.In fact, not long after he left the command center, he saw the target he was following—the pickup truck.

At that time, Xiao Guo was driving a motorcycle, and the pickup truck came oncoming and passed him.It was past midnight, and it was not in a busy city, and there were few vehicles on the road. Xiao Guo listened to all directions, looked around, and immediately saw three people and a large iron box on the back of the small truck. Incidentally, the pickup truck is very ordinary, even quite dilapidated, and the trunk is not covered, so it can be seen at a glance. Xiao Guo was very familiar with the iron box, and recognized it as the target of stalking at a glance.He was about to turn a corner and catch up, when he saw two cars approaching, one of them accelerated and overtook the pickup truck and moved forward, while the other slowed down.

As soon as the two cars appeared, Xiao Guo recognized that they were the trackers he had sent out. The car that slowed down contained a complete set of tracking instruments and communication equipment. Xiao Guo quickly waved to the car, which was even slower, and Xiao Guo abandoned the motorcycle without waiting for the car to stop. He ran to the car, opened the door, and got into the back seat of the car in a flash. Xiao Guo's series of actions were indeed clean and neat, so after he got into the car, the two trackers in the front seat cheered in unison. The two immediately reported to Xiao Guo and lost contact with the command center, but they had been following from the newspaper gate for nearly fifteen minutes, and there was no need to use any tracking equipment, because the target was always within sight.

It seems that the other party is either defenseless, or doesn't care about being followed. After Xiao Guo got into the car, he was relieved to see the pickup truck not far ahead, and felt that the tracking operation could continue and be completed smoothly. At this time, the car was driving on a straight road, and not only the pickup truck could be seen, but also the car before the pickup truck, which was also driven by the tracker. In other words, two cars sandwich the pickup truck.This is tomorrow's blatant stalking, and Xiao Guo even feels like it's going too far. After a while, it turned onto the main road, which was a cliff on one side and a hillside on the other, and it was also a straight road, with no end in sight.

When Xiao Guo said this, he paused. We all know that Xiao Guo failed to track him, but until now, we can't imagine how he lost the target. Xiao Guo smiled wryly, wiped his face with his hand, and continued. There was really nothing special about the situation at that time, but the most sudden changes often happened when one thought the least unexpected would happen. When Xiao Guo told us what happened next, he still had an expression of disbelief. After about a few minutes, the situation did not change.Xiao Guo just wanted to contact us with an ordinary mobile phone, but saw the pickup truck in front suddenly turn right.Driving on the third lane of the main road, the action of the small truck does not seem to be changing lanes, and the right side is the cliff, and the small truck turned at a 90-degree angle. In this situation, if it does not stop in time, the only result will be Just hit the mountain.

Xiao Guo was surprised—he knew there were thousands of ways to get rid of being followed, but he had never even heard of the suicidal method of bumping himself into a mountain. For a moment, he even wanted to honk the horn to tell the other party to stop, not to do such a stupid thing. However, within a few seconds, he saw that the pickup truck didn't slow down and crashed into the cliff. The behavior of the pickup truck was beyond words, but what happened next was even more shocking. The driver even braked suddenly, causing the car to spin several times on the road.The people in the car, of course, were also turned into a mess.

It didn't affect what they saw, though -- what they saw happened while the car wasn't spinning, and it happened all at once. What they saw was: the small truck crashed into the cliff, and the expected collision did not happen, but the small truck sank into the cliff smoothly. Yes, exactly—the pickup sank into the cliff like a red-hot nail into a stick of butter. Xiao Guo repeatedly emphasized: "It's definitely not dazzled—not only the three of us can see clearly, but even the two people in the car in front can see clearly from the rear-view mirror, the pickup truck has indeed driven into Among the cliffs."

I, Wen Baoyu, and the Gobi Desert heard Xiao Guo repeat it three times, but none of us made a sound.Of course, it's not that we don't believe Xiao Guo's words, but we need time to think about it. Xiao Guo added at this time: "Although it took less than a second for the car to enter the mountain, it left a deep impression on me. I think I will never forget it in my life—more than any special effects shot in a movie." More brilliant." We still haven't said anything.Xiao Guo added: "I got out of the car about three minutes later and went to the cliff where the pickup truck disappeared to check. There were no traces on the rocks, as if this incident never happened."

Wen Baoyu was the first to respond: "A clear example of a solid body passing through a solid body──The seekers of the life quota are alien friends, and only they have this ability." After he said it, no one agreed, and he said: "Maybe it's the work of gods. But according to Wesley's theory, most of the so-called gods are aliens, or people whose life forms have changed, and they can no longer They are earthlings." The Gobi Desert and Xiao Guo looked at me, and I thought for a while: "It's possible." Wen Baoyu was very excited because his opinion was initially affirmed, he waved his hand: "It's one of the possibilities!" I was annoyed: "Please talk about the second possibility." Wen Baoyu kept blinking, and after a while, he shook his head: "I can't think of it at the moment——if this is the only possibility, of course there is no other." Xiao Guo looked at me: "It's really an alien, it's not wronged to fall in this somersault." I thought for a while, and then said: "I can't draw a conclusion now—and wait for the detailed reports from other places. I don't think all the tracking has failed, and the situation is the same as what happened in this city." Xiao Guo nodded: "At the latest, tomorrow morning, we will know." I said, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow." As I said that, I stretched my waist, and saw that the two people in the Gobi Desert looked very strange, and Xiao Guo was staring at them. Wen Baoyu was on the side, as if he was persuading, but also seemed to be fanning the flames: "Everyone is my friend, if you have anything to say, don't keep it in your heart, you should say it." Gobi desert glanced at Xiao Guo, hesitated to speak, Xiao Guo had already said angrily: "You don't believe what I said, do you?" I heard that they suddenly had a dispute, and I am not going to express my opinion for the time being—because although I don't believe everything Xiao Guo said, I also have reservations because I can't figure it out at all. In fact, even if you don’t believe what Xiao Guo said, you still can’t figure it out—what reason does Xiao Guo have to lie to us? The Gobi Desert did not dare to offend Xiao Guo directly, but dragged him into the water and pointed at me: "Not only we don't believe it, but Wesley probably doesn't believe it either!" Xiao Guo smiled instead of anger: "If Wesley doesn't believe me, then I'll just hit him head-on!" All of a sudden, everyone looked at me. Originally, because there were too many things I couldn’t figure out, my thoughts were very confused. I wanted to be alone and wait until I had further information, so I proposed to wait until tomorrow. But now that the situation has suddenly become like this, I have to express my attitude.Without even thinking about it, I said, "I absolutely believe every word Xiao Guo said!" Xiao Guo sneered again and again at the Gobi Desert: "Fortunately, someone believed me, so I wouldn't be killed by a headshot, and I don't know why I'm a ghost." The Gobi Desert shouted strangely in unison: "Wesley, if you believe it, why do you wait for further information and not take immediate action? This is not your usual style of action, so don't say what you mean!" I smiled wryly: "I just have too many things I can't figure out, and I need to think about it." Wen Baoyu said loudly: "In terms of the extraterrestrial account, nothing becomes a problem." When Wen Baoyu said this, it was hard for me to tell whether he was sincere or sarcastic! Because there are indeed many people who have been laughing at me for always pushing unexplainable things on aliens.The fact is: there are many things that are indeed done by aliens, but of course not all of them are the same, and it cannot be generalized. Things like what is happening now, of course, may be done by aliens.But on the premise that it is possible that it was done by people on earth, we must first study the possibility that it was done by people on earth—and after ruling out all the possibilities of people on earth, then of course it is a good thing done by aliens. This is a very simple logic, of course, some people find it a bit unacceptable, just because they still refuse to admit the existence of aliens in concept--and I think such a concept is very backward, and it is precisely because of this There are not a few people with this kind of backward concept, so the status of the earth people is low in the whole universe. Not even accepting the existence of extraterrestrial advanced creatures conceptually, that is of course not the proper behavior of advanced creatures. These are all digressions. Some people are not open-minded enough, but they like to deny things that are not within the scope of their knowledge. This situation is very ridiculous. At the moment I said these words, and then expressed my specific opinion: "It must be confirmed that it was not done by people on earth before it can be counted as aliens." After I said this, everyone was silent. I first asked the Gobi Desert: "Is there any of our kind on earth capable of disrupting the communication operations of the command center?" The Gobi Desert replied in the affirmative: "Of course." After talking, they continued: "However, we don't think that humans can drive a small truck, including people and the car, into the cliff." They clearly expressed their attitude. Although Xiao Guo and Gobi Desert were arguing just now, they agreed with them at this moment: "I think so too." Wen Baoyu spread his hands: "Of course I agree." But I shook my head, and Wen Baoyu first asked: "This is something I can't understand, why do you have objections?" I said: "First, I can't figure out what is the use of the aliens asking for the life quota of the earth people. Second, I don't think the activities of the aliens on the earth will appear in such a big way. Third, if It was caused by aliens. There will always be some news from Leman Hospital, and they will not be ignorant. They should inform me, but I have not heard from them until now. The theory of life quota was first determined by them. Put forward, they should care." Wen Baoyu said bluntly: "You said so much at one point and two points, but it can't solve the problem at all—how to explain the car driving into the cliff!" Of course, this question is not easy to answer—it can be said to be the key to all the problems so far. If there is an answer, the matter will be easily resolved. At this time, it was also difficult for me to explain why I intuitively felt that this incident was not done by aliens──I found the reason when I went back to discuss it later. It turns out that in my conception, it is deeply rooted that the life form of the earthlings is very low-level, not worth mentioning, and will not arouse the covetousness of the aliens, and the aliens will not be interested in the life quota of the earthlings, so I I don't think it was done by aliens. As a person on earth, I have such an idea in the back of my mind, whether it is right or wrong, or whether it is luck or misfortune, I am very confused and not sure. Immediately, I replied, "I don't have an explanation now—at least, I'm going to visit the scene where the van disappeared." Wen Baoyu immediately said: "I will go too." Xiao Guo actually had a very scared expression for a moment, but this expression disappeared in a flash, and he said: "Okay, I will lead the way." Later, Xiao Guo explained: "Because the situation I just witnessed was too strange, so I couldn't help being afraid." I thought for a while: "Bring lighting and a metal detector." As I said, I looked towards the Gobi Desert, and the two said: "We must do everything possible to find out where the energy of the disturbance comes from—there is only about 20% hope." I encourage them: "Even if there is only one ten thousandth hope, don't give up." The two of them clenched their fists and shook them vigorously in a sign of determination. The method used to carry out the Gobi Desert will not be listed for the time being.But the three of us drove off after carrying the application equipment.After more than twenty minutes, Xiao Guo said, "We're almost there." At this time, the car was driving on the main road, and the road was very quiet. Wen Baoyu had already turned on the lighting equipment, illuminating a cliff on the right side of the road. It was at this time that Xiao Guo explained the reason why he was afraid just now, and he further added: "Imagine if we also drove into the cliff with people and cars, and were embedded in the rocks, it is impossible not to feel horrible." What I also said to Xiao Guo caused a chill.On the contrary, Wen Baoyu laughed loudly: "That's good! Millions of years later, if someone breaks the mountain and finds us, it will be extremely precious." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Guo shouted: "Stop!" I immediately stepped on the brakes, the car vibrated and stopped.Wen Baoyu immediately aimed the searchlight at the cliff. The car was on the road, about ten meters away from the cliff. I don’t know where Xiao Guo got this spotlight. The performance is excellent. There is a big cliff in front of me, and even a small grass can be seen clearly . Xiao Guo jumped out of the car and walked forward.I remembered what he said just now, "embedded in the rocks", so I quickly got out of the car and chased after him——Anyway, we are old partners, so we should share our difficulties. Wen Baoyu also caught up, we came to stand less than two meters away from the cliff, Xiao Guo pointed forward: "This is the place, I remembered this little tree, it is here!" At this time, the shadows of the three of us reflected on the cliff looked very huge. When Xiao Guo waved his hands when he was talking, the huge shadow also moved, which gave people a very strange feeling. After Xiao Guo said this, neither Wen Baoyu nor I responded, and Xiao Guo said it again: "It's here!" Wen Baoyu and I looked at each other, and I said tactfully: "There are many small trees like this on the mountain wall, and they all look similar. You may have misremembered." Xiao Guo's face changed color: "What do you mean by that? I must be here!" I asked again: "Aside from this small tree, what other signs can be identified?" Xiao Guo became excited, waved his hands, rushed forward, and slapped his hands on the mountain wall vigorously: "This is it! There are too many marks, and I can recognize them all—it is here, why don't you believe it?" I sighed: "Look down for yourself—the three of us walked over, and the weeds on the ground still left such obvious marks. If a small truck ran over less than an hour ago, how could there be any traces?" nothing?" On the ground near the mountain wall, there are many dandelions growing continuously, as high as knees, and it is the time when the seeds are mature.Dandelion is a typical plant that disperses its seeds by wind. Each seed has white hairs, forming small silver-white hair balls. Under the strong light of the searchlight, it shines brightly and is very beautiful. This kind of little fur ball will scatter when touched. Just now when we walked forward, many seeds scatter and flew all over the sky. Moreover, the stems of dandelions are very easy to break, and if someone walks by, a large piece will fall down──I said this in detail just to illustrate one point: if a car drove by less than an hour ago, there would be no exception left The principle of traces. Xiao Guo lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his head, his face pale.I hurriedly said: "I believe everything you said, but please confirm whether the matter really happened here!" Xiao Guo's lips trembled, and his voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself.What he said was: "It must be here, I must be here! Why is it like this, I really can't figure it out!" I patted him on the shoulder: "You are not the only one who can't figure it out──I can't figure it out either!" Wen Baoyu continued: "It's not just one thing that can't be figured out, many things can't be figured out—unless you admit that everything is caused by aliens." He reiterated his claim, but I still didn't agree. This phenomenon is very strange——Usually when something incredible happens, I first think that it is me who did it by aliens, but this time I clearly agree with what Wen Baoyu said, and many problems can be solved, but I just don’t like that. Think on the one hand. Wen Baoyu also felt baffled. After waiting for my reaction, he shook his head: "As long as you can think of it, I can accept it." What he means is that as long as I make any assumptions, he can give up his own ideas.I had no choice but to smile wryly, because as he said just now, many things can't be figured out, so why make any assumptions! Wen Baoyu stomped his feet heavily: "I think we should start to investigate with the alien friends we know. They are not of my race, and their hearts must be special──In my opinion, most of the things are done by those people in Leman Hospital──You should think of them He is a friend, he may not think so!" I said in a deep voice, "I'll ask them, but I absolutely disagree with your opinion on them. Among all the aliens, the group at Leman Hospital is the most beneficial to the people on Earth." Wen Baoyu shrugged his shoulders, a little old-fashioned: "Lu Yao, you are as powerful as horsepower──" I didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "I regard them as friends, it is the result of seeing people's hearts for a long time." Wen Baoyu made a grimace, but said nothing more. Xiao Guo seemed to be out of his wits, and he had asked more than ten times: "What should we do?" He continued: "In my opinion, Xiaobao's opinion is very solid. The matter... might be done by aliens." I was very impatient: "What's the use of the aliens asking for the life quota of the earth people── After answering my question, I agree that it is the work of the aliens!" Wen Baoyu rushed to say: "There are too many uses, too numerous to enumerate." I snorted, and waited for him to explain further. Wen Baoyu waved his hand, and his waving hand formed a huge black shadow on the mountain wall, like a monster dancing. Together with the shadows of the three of us, it reminded me of Many years ago, the alien creature described in this story—it turned out to be just a plane, a shadow! It can be seen from this that there is still some truth in linking incredible things with aliens. Thinking of this, I don't want Wen Baoyu to give any more examples. Just as Wen Baoyu was about to speak, I gestured to stop him.I said: "There is no need to talk, let's split up and do real things." Wen Baoyu answered quickly: "Okay, I will proceed according to my idea." I didn't ask him how to do it either—he decided that it was the work of aliens. Could it be that he had a way to find the aliens? Xiao Guo smiled bitterly: "What can I do?" It is probably true that Xiao Guo's career has been so smooth these years, so some small setbacks make him downcast, like the end of the world.I said: "Go and sort out the reports from all over the world, the more detailed the better—concentrate on how the target disappeared, this is one of the key points of the matter." While Xiao Guo nodded in agreement, he walked back and forth along the cliff for about 200 meters. When he came back, he shook his head sadly, apparently not finding any trace of a car passing by. Wen Baoyu got into the car, turned off the spotlights, and couldn't see anything for a while.Xiao Guo sat in the driver's seat, and the three of them had their own thoughts, so they didn't speak. My thoughts were very disordered: I thought, Bai Su was the only one who could really discuss things with me. Like now, Wen Baoyu and Xiao Guo don't understand why I insist that the matter has nothing to do with aliens, and I just can't say why. If Bai Su is there, then I don't need to explain at all, she can understand me mind. I haven't seen her for several days, and she and Hongya don't know what is going on, and occasionally go home. I thought, why not go home, and if Bai Su comes back by chance, I can listen to her opinion.So I said to Xiao Guo: "Send me back first." Xiao Guo nodded in agreement and drove the car very fast. After midnight, the streets were deserted. It looked like an ordinary night, but the three of us knew that something very unusual was going on in the dark—it was about human life! After a while, the car arrived at my door, I jumped out of the car, waved to them, and Xiao Guo drove away. I walked to the door, and just about to open it, I heard Lao Cai's loud voice coming from inside the door──Lao Cai's hearing has been getting worse in recent years, so his voice is getting louder and louder.He also resolutely refuses to use a hearing aid. Whenever he speaks, he yells. I have avoided talking to him as much as possible. Not only that, but his temper became worse and worse, especially towards strangers, it was as if he had taken gunpowder, and he offended many people who came to me. At this time, I heard Lao Cai's voice, speaking to a person, what he said was: "Maybe, he might come back sometime." Then, I didn't hear another person's voice. I thought to myself that if that person's voice was normal, I was outside the door, so of course I couldn't hear it.But the problem is that Lao Cai should not be able to hear, how can he communicate with Lao Cai? After coming down, it was Lao Cai who yelled again: "It doesn't matter, you just wait, what do you want to drink?"
