Chapter 9 Chapter 8: Strange Red Man

Zheng Baoyun snorted: "The red man is a bit ghostly, and he refuses to tell. He just said that they found it, and they will naturally know. They even want to ask you about the whereabouts of that thing." I also snorted, and suddenly thought of something: "Strange, why didn't he look for clues from your father's kind? I mean, your father has a few followers on earth, so you can go to them. It's much more useful than searching around like this." It made sense for me to say this, but in an instant, Zheng Baoyun's face became very ugly, and he didn't speak for a while, then sighed: "The red people can't find them, the Tianlongxing people I can't find them, and I... can't find them."

I was a little puzzled by his demeanor, he made a gesture, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated for a while: "I have to find them, otherwise, I don't know them...including my father, do What did you do to constitute a betrayal of Tianlongxing." I took a deep breath, for Zheng Baoyun, this matter is extremely important, if he doesn't figure out this matter, not only is he only half a member of Tianlongxing, but he is also a traitor of Tianlongxing. But for me, it doesn't matter at all, I'm just surprised by the traitors who have been hiding on the earth for a long time.But think about the fact that the Draconians can come and go freely, and the "red people" can also come and go freely, and I don't know how many other aliens live among the earth people without anyone noticing, or in the hidden corners of the earth. Activities don't seem to be a big deal. In the entire universe, the earth is basically an undefended star. As long as they have the ability, as long as they can adapt to the earth's environment, it seems that people on any star can act wantonly on the earth.

I sighed: "Those red people, they look... Although they are weird, they are peaceful in nature." Zheng Baoyun hurriedly said: "Not only peaceful, but also easy to talk──" He lowered his voice: "It's a bit stupid, I just say a few words, and they will leave temporarily, so that I can be alone with you." I waved my hand: "Temporarily leaving, that's not the way, if they want to find that thing, they will definitely not let you go." Zheng Baoyun frowned: "That's the trouble. I really can't keep entangled with them. I must get rid of them as soon as possible so that I can find my father's companions."

I looked at him, and when he said that, he had a look that suggested he had figured out how to get rid of the red man. He also emphasized: "I must get rid of them. If they haunt me, any action I take will become public, because the Draconians can easily track me by following them." I said "ah": "Following you, the Draconians will be able to find the traitor through you." Zheng Baoyun might be very disgusted with the term "traitor", but he didn't say anything, just nodded with a strange expression: "So, I will hand over the celebrity to you to deal with."

I froze for a moment, never expecting him to say such a thing. Zheng Baoyun, the tortoise, knew that he had done something wrong to me, so when he was speaking, he didn't dare to look me in the face, and his voice stuttered a bit: "I... tell them, you don't know that thing at all. whereabouts, it was intentional..." Poor me until now, I have not known that I have been betrayed by him, and I replied: "Why do you say it on purpose? I don't know at all." Zheng Baoyun took a breath: "I said in my mouth that you don't know, but I was thinking in my mind: You know more than me, where is that thing, only... you... know."

I still didn't understand, and laughed: "Aren't you kidding, that thing, I──" I just said this, and in an instant, my heart lit up, remembering that he once told me that the energy emitted by his brain waves is extremely strong, and can be received by others.The Draconian can receive his brain waves, and so can the celebrity, so his behavior is tantamount to telling the celebrity that only I know the whereabouts of that thing. Moreover, I immediately knew what he meant by doing this, so that the red man could entangle me, so that he could get rid of the red man and go find his father's accomplices.

I can further affirm that since he woke up and knew everything, the conspiracy has been completed in his heart, and his wanting to see me is the first step of the conspiracy. I understood everything in a very short time, and in an instant, my blood was surging. At this moment, Zheng Baoyun even took a peek at me, probably because he saw my bad complexion (afterwards he said that I had "a fierce look in my eyes" ), so he quickly stood up and backed away. I stood up abruptly, exhausted all my strength, and turned into an extremely angry voice: "You damn bastard!" His face was pale, which was in contrast to my flushed face: "Wesley, I was a little bit sorry at first, and I was going to thank you, but you scolded me like this, and everything was evened out."

I know that the scolding just now was too serious for Zheng Baoyun.But my anger was still rising, so I picked up a chair and threw it at him, while sternly scolding: "Who wants you to thank me? You've been using me from beginning to end, you—" He didn't wait for me to curse again, he stretched out his hand to block the chair, and suddenly called out: "What can I do? Only you are my friend." I was stunned for a moment, and didn't continue to curse, he panted quickly: "Only you can help me." I stomped my feet with Fang, and broke a lot of things that I could grab easily to vent my anger: "You can tell me openly that there is no need to engage in conspiracy."

Zheng Baoyun was still panting: "It's useless if you agree to help, I have to trick the celebrities to believe you to know where the thing is, otherwise they won't let me go." Hearing Zheng Baoyun say that, thinking of the terrifying look of the red man at a glance, I really trembled all over, I don't know if it was fear or anger, staring at Zheng Baoyun, searching in my heart if there is anything more than the word "bastard" Words that could hurt him. At this time, he has fully possessed the wisdom of a Draconian, and he is really extraordinary. He has clearly seen through my intentions, and shook his hands: "Don't think of anything to scold me, just now...that was too much."

I smiled wryly, calmed down, and immediately thought of the immediate problem. He betrayed me to those "popular people", and the popular people would not let me go. If they wanted to force me to find out the whereabouts of "that thing", how much should I do? You should know how to deal with them. Thinking of this, I couldn't help panting: "How can I deal with that pile of red monsters?" Zheng Baoyun said: "Whatever you want, you will find that they are easy to deal with...much easier to deal with than the Tianlongxing people──" I snorted: "I think among the cosmic creatures, the most secretive and treacherous ones are the Draconians."

Zheng Baoyun smiled wryly, and did not defend himself: "Besides, I am used to seeing their appearance, so I don't... Well, they have a lot of advantages... If you can get along with them for a long time, you can get a lot of benefits." I had a barrage of expletives about him, but the timing was clearly inopportune, with more pressing questions: "When are you going to let influencers know you're trying to trick them?" Zheng Baoyun is really a bastard. Under such circumstances, he actually said: "At the right time." I was almost suffocated by the words I gave him, and he hurriedly said: "They are coming soon, don't worry, they won't harm you, I told them, I will try my best to persuade you to tell what you know, you have to cooperate with them .” I couldn't catch my breath, and when Zheng Baoyun was speaking in a hurry, I couldn't interrupt him, but when I could raise my voice to reprimand him, he turned around and rushed to the window. The architectural style of the study is very old, the windows are inlaid with wooden slats arranged in a patterned window lattice, when he jumped up, there was a crash, the wooden lattice was smashed, and he had turned outwards. I rushed to the window too, trying to pull him back, to make him suffer a bit, but I just rushed forward, and at that window, a red shadow flashed, and seven or eight bright red heads suddenly came in. . That kind of bright red human head is connected to a long, thin, long and soft object - the situation is a bit like a "flamingo", but longer and thinner than the neck of a flamingo, and what is connected is Human heads, not bird heads. I stopped my momentum immediately, and the seven or eight red heads almost touched me, and I could feel their scorching breath on my face—this kind of monster is actually breathing the same breath like a human. Gas, it's kind of weird. The seven or eight red heads also stopped moving (it seems that their necks can be stretched at will), all of them stared at me, and my heart was beating so hard that my chest would burst out. I know in my heart that in the current situation, apart from following what Zheng Baoyun said and relying on my own wit to deal with it, can I still hope that this bastard will come back to help me? I don't know if the expressions on the faces of those red people are the same as those on Earth, so I can only assume that they will not have any ill intentions towards me for the time being. I tried my best to squeeze a smile on my face (it must be extremely ugly), and gasped again After a few strokes, he said, "Everyone...can you understand me?" As soon as I opened my mouth, the eyeballs of those seven or eight red heads rolled (the whites of their eyes were all red, but in different shades. When the eyeballs of this color were rolling, it was really weird)!If I hadn't known the shape of aliens for a long time, it would be unbelievable, and I would have passed out. They seemed to be exchanging ideas with each other, not only making a series of murmurs, but also having an unimaginable rough movement: their thin and long necks were shaking and intertwined with each other. At that time, in my extreme horror, I suddenly had a very funny idea: if these slender necks were caught like ropes and tied into knots, I don’t know if they can be untied? They "discussed" for a while, and the neck of one of the red heads broke free from the entanglement with the other necks, and suddenly stretched out in front of me, and said: "I understand." The red head was very close to me, I stretched out my hand, trying to push it away, but I didn't dare to touch it, so I had to make a gesture to push it, and said embarrassedly: "That's great, we can communicate, but... talk It doesn't have to be that close." The red head not only uttered words, but actually giggled a few times. (At that time, I naturally used "speaking out people's words" to describe the feeling that the red man gave me when he spoke. Later, I had a lot of associations in these four words, which are quite interesting, and I will add them later.) I laughed at him until his hairs stood on end--in my conscience, the laughter itself is not scary, but the scene in front of me is too weird, following his laughter, he has no intention of retreating, and the other red heads are also Stretch forward (I have enough composure to count carefully, there are nine red men in total). Not only were their heads stretched forward, but their bodies were also squeezed in through the window. The movement was very fast, and in a flash, they entered the window. It seemed that their bodies were pulled in by their slender necks. The body, I can't tell what shape it is, it's just a pile, and it's not even clear which head is connected to which body, it's just a pile. I remember Zheng Baoyun said that the bodies of red people can be changed in any shape, even their heads can be worn through the window cracks, so the shape of the body looks a little strange, which seems to be polite. Shouldn't there be a fuss look? I tried my best to calm down again, and with some success, when I opened my mouth, my face wasn't red and I couldn't breathe: "Can I help you?" The eloquent red head stared at me with scorching eyes (although the eyes are invisible, but when I meet his eyes, I feel that his eyes are also red) staring at me: "That day, the Dragon Star man, he said, no, we know, that thing is in Where, you know, tell us." I hurriedly said: "That day, the Dragon Star's name was Zheng Baoyun, and he was actually only half of the Dragon Star - when did you come to Earth? Did you intend to make an appearance in front of the majority of Earth people? Make a worldwide TV broadcast, let Earthlings want to meet extraterrestrial friends? Earthlings often say: It’s such a joy to have friends coming from afar..." After I talked about it, I didn't even know what I was talking about. The level of nonsense was still higher than that of Wen Baoyu. The purpose was just to delay time and think of countermeasures. And after I talked for five minutes, I found that Zheng Baoyun's comment on the celebrity was very correct, how smart is the celebrity.I don't dare to draw conclusions, but their ability to deal with nonsense is far below that of the Earthlings and Draconians.They actually listened very attentively. As I was talking, the person who could speak human was making a strange sound, which sounded like an "instant translation". It wasn't until I finished a paragraph with nonsense that the red man said: "No need, the appearance of the earthlings is different from ours. Moreover, the earthlings are born with a very narrow sense of hatred. They will regard foreigners as enemies. It is a pleasure to have friends from afar, but I am afraid it is not the truth." What I said to the red-headed man made me blush a little.And at this time, I am sure that they are strange in appearance, but peaceful in character.Strange appearance is relative. In their view, why are people on earth not strange? So, after thinking about it for a while, I said very sincerely: "Is what you are looking for very important to you?" The red-headed man immediately said: "It's very important, alas, the Dragon Star man... was so bad that day, he lied to us, and that thing is of no use to him... to him..." The other two celebrities didn't seem to agree with the celebrity's words, they muttered a few words, a small dispute broke out between the celebrities, and the celebrity leader said: "It is useful for Tianlongxing." I can see that they attach great importance to this issue, and their curiosity is burning: "What's the use?" A few red men shook their heads together, and the way they shook their heads was extremely frightening, but I was used to it, and even my breathing was as smooth as usual, and I didn't feel particularly scared. (It is unavoidable to be afraid when seeing strange phenomena. This is the nature of people to reject strange phenomena. But after all, people have wisdom and can judge whether strange phenomena will cause harm. If they lose this ability to judge, they just blindly reject them. , that’s what’s so sad.) The red man shook his head and kept blinking his eyes, but he didn't say anything, so I asked again, "Can't you say that?" The red man uses the movement of the head to express his heart, and like most people on the earth, he nodded again and again when he heard me say this. At this time, I was sure that they were peaceful and honest, and I couldn't bear to tease them again: "Actually, I really don't know where the things you want are—" The red man said: "No, you know." I smiled wryly, they fell into Zheng Baoyun's tricks, and it was difficult for them to understand for a while, but at this moment I really wanted to help them find that thing, after thinking about it, I said: "After Zheng Baoyun's accident , I helped sort out the relics of the Zheng family. Zheng Tianlu is very good at hiding things. Zheng Tianlu is the Draconian who lied to you, so if you at least tell me the shape and size of the thing, if I happen to see it, I can tell you where it is." The nine red men discussed for a while (making strange noises, their slender necks intertwined), and then the red man said: "Can you please come to our spaceship?" I was very interested, but still said: "Necessary?" The red head said: "Yes, I can't describe the shape of that thing, I invite you to take a look." I hesitated for a moment: "Okay, but I have one condition, how you took Zheng Baoyun out of the 'ward' that day, you also used the same method to get me away." The nine celebrities all let out a very weird-sounding "cuckoo" laugh, and one of them suddenly raised his hand── Here, a brief explanation is required. The red men's shapes are so strange that when their heads and necks come in first, there is really no time to pay attention to their bodies.Their bodies appeared to be bright red, an indescribable mass, and it was hard to tell who belonged to whom, let alone the shape of limbs, and, it seemed, they did not appear to be wearing clothes, their The red "skin" (assumed to be) looks slippery and tough, a little like bright red patent leather. And at this moment, a bright red hand suddenly emerged from a mass of red bodies, and I have no way of knowing where it came from and which red man it belongs to. The shape of the hand is the same as that of a human hand, and there are even shiny, bright red "nails" on the fingers. That bright red hand held a rather weird thing, shaped like a large flashlight, and it was also red (red must have a very unique effect on this kind of alien), and it swung towards me.Before I figured out what they were going to do, a burst of red light suddenly shot out from that thing, or it should be said that it was a cloud of red light, covering my whole body.I could see that everything was red. Everyone knows that if you wear black clothes and stand in front of a black background, you will feel the effect of "invisibility".When I looked out, it was bright red, and the nine red people in front of me disappeared in an instant.They may still be there, or they may really disappear, and I can't get to the bottom of it, because what happened next left me stunned. I wanted to say something, but I didn't open my mouth. I just felt that there was a very short time, as if something happened to me, but it was neither painful nor itchy, and I didn't feel anything at all. And the red light also disappeared in a flash, and I found myself in another space, leaving the study of the Zheng family's old house. The other space is not that big, and everything is bright red—this color is naturally eye-catching and beautiful at first glance, but after a long time, it is not very comfortable. For human eyes, the most comfortable thing is green, not red. Especially not bright red. I closed my eyes for a moment, imagining what happened just now, when I didn't know what to do, I heard the sound of "grid", and when I opened my eyes, there was a bright red light in front of me. Only then did I realize that I was in a In the box-shaped space, one side was being opened, and I walked out naturally. There was a rather large space outside, and there were dozens of popular people, making a "popping" sound, like people on earth clapping Voice. A celebrity was in front of me—every celebrity looked the same, but when he spoke I knew he was the one I had spoken to, and after seeing many strange contraptions, I could also know that, now, I am In their spaceship. I took a "swish" breath: "Excuse me... how can... let me... enter your spaceship in an instant?" The celebrity smiled, with a strange expression: "I can't tell you." I'm a little annoyed: "What if I insist?" The red man felt embarrassed: "I still don't say it, because...you will be very scared if you say it." I snorted and didn't say anything else, thinking in my heart: what's so great, it's probably because of the red light just now, which anesthetized me, and then moved me to the spaceship to wake me up. (Of course, later I realized that this extremely conceived idea was ridiculously naive, and I also knew that the Reds had a kind heart, because after knowing the truth, I was indeed trembling with fear.) At that time, I didn't ask any more questions, and the celebrity did things very simply. The one who had been talking to me led me forward.Only then did I discover that their body structure was more advanced than that of Earth people—it could be deformed, at least, the limbs could be retracted at ordinary times. People are about the same. When they came to a device that looked like a console, the red man pointed to a square thing. One of the lids of the thing was opened, and it was a small box. Inside the box was a very strange shape. The thing looks like a piece of half-burned charcoal, but the color is not red, but half red and half black (so it looks like half-burned charcoal), although it is the size of a palm, I don’t know what it is. use. I was about to reach out to touch that thing, but before I raised my hand, the red man couldn't wait to close the lid, and opened his eyes wide. The red eyes were full of anticipation, looking at me. . I shook my head: "I'm sorry, I've never seen anything like that before, what is it...?" As soon as I spoke, not only the celebrity in front of me sighed, but at least five or six other celebrities sighed in unison.Obviously what I said disappointed them immensely, and that also proved how important this thing was to them. The red man in front of me trembled, the neck supporting his head seemed to have lost its support in an instant, and slumped down. Although their appearance is extremely weird, it can scare people crazy at first sight, but the situation at this moment also makes people know that they are very anxious and worried, and they are so sad that people can feel sympathy for them. I also sighed: "That thing... is very important?" The red man nodded: "Yes, it's extremely important, we...we..." He hesitated for a while, then turned his head again, as if he was asking for opinions from others. After half a minute, he said: "That thing is the source of our life. It's hard to explain to you. The thing you saw just now is the source of life for the 120 people on our spaceship." He said it was "difficult to explain to me," and indeed, I was at a complete loss as to what he meant by "the source of life."It seems that their science is advanced, and the form of life is also very advanced. How can the source of life be like a half-burned charcoal? I looked confused, and while thinking, I asked: "The source of life? Is...that your life...is controlled by this thing?" The red man hesitated again: "You can say that, but you can't say that, you won't understand." I snorted: "I will understand, as long as you are willing to say." The red man took a step back: "Please think again, have you ever seen such a thing, it should be placed in a box." I still shook my head: "You should have very advanced search equipment, can't you find it?" The red man sighed: "That thing emits very strong energy. In fact, we can perceive it even at a very long distance without using instruments." When he said this, he pointed to his head with a bright red finger. Their heads had red hair, which was attached to the scalp very well. Since they were all red, it was not very easy to notice their hair. . I was even more surprised, because if this was the case, there was no reason why they couldn't find the thing, it might have been destroyed by Zheng Tianlu long ago.I was about to raise this point, but the red man said again: "However, if you cover that thing with copper, the emission of the power will be blocked, and we will have no way of knowing where it is." My heart suddenly moved: "How thick is the hidden copper...?" The red man seemed to see that I had thought of something, and his expression was nervous: "It doesn't need to be too thick, five centimeters is enough." I took a deep breath, and at that moment, I thought of the copper box that had been lifted out of the dark cellar at the bottom of the lotus pond. In that copper box, Zheng Tianlu, a Draconian, left a notebook for his descendant, Zheng Baoyun, who was half-Dragon and half-Earth, to make a choice.Zheng Baoyun decided to become a Draconian in a very short period of time, and then he went crazy, his physiological structure and brain organization changed, and after a few years, he completely got rid of the form of a human on Earth. According to his claim, he "evolved" into Draconians.
