I was half lying in the study, and the beautiful day and the beautiful scenery would appear in my study, and they refused to be quiet, waking me up. . But it was useless to scare them, and they made a face at me together, and I couldn't help laughing. Instead, they made a gesture to me, put their fingers to their lips, and signaled me to keep quiet, looking tense and a little ghostly. It was they who woke me up, and now they tell me to keep quiet, which is really ridiculous, I snorted, but before it happened, they said: "Sister Bai is dealing with a weird person, let us come and see you Are you awake?"

I was taken aback for a moment: "Weird?" I deliberately seemed to be very nervous, but I was only amused in my heart, because I didn't think the situation was serious at all—otherwise, Bai Su wouldn't have easily asked them to see if I "waked up". Liang Chen and Mei Mei nodded solemnly: "If you wake up, Sister Bai said, tell you to hide in the study and don't come out, she will deal with that weird person." I couldn't help shouting: "Why?" Liang Chen and Mei Mei were startled suddenly, and they stumbled and said: "When you call, that weird man knows that you are at home. It seems that he is coming towards you. You should hide for a while, don't make a sound."

I said something to each of them, neither annoyed nor laughing, and raised my hands as if to hit them, the two of them laughed, and their figures flitted around in my study. My study is not very big, and there are a lot of sundries. The remaining space for people to walk around is not a good place for people to run around anyway.However, good days and beautiful scenery are unique skills, and they are best at moving and dodging in a small space. No matter how small a place is, they come and go like the wind. I saw two red shadows, erratic in front of my eyes, and I was dazzled. Knowing that they couldn't be caught, he had no choice but to say: "Stop making trouble, go and see what kind of weird person it is."

The two stopped suddenly, giggling, I opened the door and walked out of the study.The study is not far from the stairs, and there is a living room under the stairs. No matter whether the visitors are weird or normal, they will be in the living room. But when I walked towards the stairs, I felt that the place was very quiet, and it didn't seem like there was anyone at all. When I got to the stairs, I looked down, and the living room was really empty. Is there anyone there? I looked back, Liangchen and Meijing had already descended the stairs in a hurry, and they heard a "hey" from below, and I went downstairs too, but there was no one downstairs.

Good days and beautiful scenery are already running around the house, shouting; my house, according to the walking speed of the two of them, can be walked up and down in thirty seconds, so after half a minute, it is already certain that Bai Su Not in the house, and certainly no weirdos.Only Lao Cai came out with sleepy eyes, muttering: "There are more and more little monsters in the room, there is really no way." At this time, Liangchen and Meijing were following Lao Cai with their hands and feet in hand. The two of them had excellent lightness skills, and naturally they didn't make a sound at all. Lao Cai would not notice it. Hearing Lao Cai call them "little monsters", the two We made a funny face together, put our lips together, and blew air on the back of Lao Cai's neck, which made Lao Cai stand still in a daze, with the feeling that his hair was standing on end. I called him twice, and he was still talking to himself in shock: " This... in broad daylight, there will be... there will be..."

I yelled again, and gave Liangchen and Meijing a hard look, and then they walked away as if nothing had happened, and I asked, "Old Cai, was someone here just now?" Lao Cai shook his head: "I don't know, I'm taking a nap." I don't blame him either, he is old and a little confused, I made a gesture, and he walked in muttering again. I went to the gate, looked around, the car was still there, I looked at Liangchen and Meijing, and they both said in unison: "When we came, Sister Bai just opened the door to let that weird person in." I felt something suspicious: "Then... what does the weirdo look like?"

Liang Chen said: "He is so tall, wearing a hat—" When she said this, she looked towards the beautiful scenery, and the beautiful scenery immediately followed her: "──The boss's hat, male or female──" Then the two said together: "── Cover your face, you can't see clearly." (The way Liangchen and Meimei speak is mostly like that. For the sake of brevity, I only elaborate on it occasionally. When you read their speeches, you may wish to imagine this situation where two people co-authored a sentence. , must be lively and interesting.) When they said they were "tall", they stretched out their hands and made a comparison. It seemed that the person who came was a head taller than me.

They said again: "We sneaked in, and Sister Bai asked us to come to the study to see you. When we saw you fell asleep, we discussed whether to wake you up, and you woke up. You must have yelled just now. Scared the weirdo away, and Sister Bai went after him." I snorted, Liangchen and Meimei were talking nonsense, but I couldn't figure out who the person was and what happened.Liang Chen and Mei Mei looked at each other and laughed together, obviously they didn't think the matter was serious at all, this can be seen from their expressions.They said: "Sister Bai also said, have you ever seen a... bright red person? Tell us what it looks like."

I glared at them: "How can you talk so much in just a short while?" Liang Chen and Mei Mei said: "Let's talk quickly, Sister Bai accompanied us to the stairs, and she told the man to sit—" When the two talked about this, they paused and looked at each other, as if they suddenly remembered something, but they couldn't be sure, so they exchanged opinions with each other.The exchange of opinions between them can be said to be extremely special among the earthlings. They don't need to speak, just look at each other, and they can know what the other is thinking - this is naturally the energy emitted by their brain activities, which can be directly received by the other.

However, although this phenomenon is special among the earthlings, it is nothing to the Draconians. After Zheng Baoyun's body structure transformed into a Draconian, the energy of his brain activity can be transmitted over a long distance. In addition, it was received by his kind, and the red man also has this ability. In comparison, the earth people are very naive and backward. At this time, I thought about that aspect, and I didn't pay much attention to the actions of the good time and the beautiful scenery. I didn't look at them until they showed doubts. At that time, they had clearly confirmed something doubtful, and the two of them came to the staircase and went up a flight of stairs: "At that time we were standing here—"

They beckoned me to go over, and I came to them without stepping up the stairs.They said: "Sister Bai is here. She told us about the bright red person and said that you would tell us the story. Sister Bai was talking to us. Of course we can't turn our backs on her, so we turned around and she was talking to us. When we talk, we naturally look at her—" When the two talked about this, I waved my hand and interrupted their conversation: "Okay, okay, I know you are polite, did you see something strange when you turned your head?" The two still hesitated, looked at each other again, and said: "Not sure, because we didn't look away and saw the tall man's actions, a little sneaky, holding a flat cigarette case in his hand, as if Ready to smoke, sister Bai turned around as soon as she finished speaking, and the tall man quickly put away the cigarette case again." Liang Chen added: "The cigarette case had a silver-white reflection, and when he was in a hurry to put it away, it flickered, so it left an impression." Jingmei also added: "I thought about it for a while, this person is too addicted to cigarettes, why did he put away the cigarette pack in a hurry?" After listening to their narration, I thought about it for a very short time, and immediately made a gesture to them, signaling them to go to the study, and the two of them shot up like arrows. As soon as I entered the study door, I saw the piece A flat piece of metal, still on my desk, I pointed to it: "The cigarette case in the man's hand—" The two followed my point of view and shouted in unison: "That's it." They looked at each other, exchanged opinions in their unique way again, and then nodded with absolute certainty. They approached the table, nodding their heads while reaching for the piece of metal. The movements of the two were exactly the same, and I didn’t think there was anything wrong. Although the source of this piece of metal was extremely strange, and it might involve the mysteries of the universe, I had turned it over and over again. , After looking at it for a long time, I can't see anything special at all, so I will not stop them when they reach out for it. The two shot quickly and grabbed the metal block in their hands at once. At that moment, both of them showed extremely strange expressions, and their eyes opened wide in an instant——the eyes of the two of them It was already big, but when it opened, it looked very strange. At the same time, the two let out a low cry in unison, and as soon as they let go, the metal plate immediately fell.But the two moved quickly, before the metal plate fell to the ground, they bent over, grabbed it with their hands, and immediately stretched out their palms to hold it down. This series of actions made me baffled, not knowing what happened, but when they pressed their hands, they looked at me with a very disappointed expression. It wasn't until then that I quickly asked, "What's the matter?" Looking at the expressions of Liang Chen and Mei Mei, it is clear that there are countless questions in my heart to ask me, but I asked them first.I haven't known them for too long, but I am also very familiar with them. I have never seen them show such panic and panic. Then, they called out a word in unison. That sentence shocked me so much that it cannot be added.Moreover, before they spoke, no matter how I guessed, I would never have imagined that they would suddenly call out such a sentence out of nowhere. Their voices were sharp, and it can be seen that when they yelled that sentence, they were extremely nervous and excited. What they yelled was: "Sister Bai is calling for help!" I stared blankly at them, and they also stared blankly.If it wasn't for the extreme fear on their faces, I would have thought they were playing some kind of joke again. At this point, I'm sure they're not joking, but I still don't know what they mean by that. "Sister Bai is calling for help." This means that Bai Su is in an extremely critical situation and sent a signal for help, but why did they know?Could it be that they and Bai Su already have the ability to "connect with him"? While I was shocked, I didn't know how many questions I had to ask, but Liangchen and Meijing turned around, obviously because they were extremely anxious, they turned around, which was the same as everyone's normal reaction.It's just that an ordinary person would at best step fast in such a situation, but the two of them jumped up and down, shooting wildly in the study. I wanted to ask them a few times, but their figures flashed by before my eyes, and I caught them all. Can't stop, how to speak? Until I couldn't bear it any longer, I yelled, "Stop, okay? Why are you flying around like headless chickens?" As soon as I spoke, the two of them stood beside me, one on the left and one on the right, reaching out and grabbing my arm, tears in their eyes, and their voices changed in anxiety: "Sister Bai is calling for help, go and save her!" .” To be honest, I was also extremely flustered by their actions, but I was not like them, I took a breath: "How do you know?" The two said in unison: "We heard—" They only said four words, and then paused: "No, we felt it. Just now, we went to get this...board, and we felt it when we touched it." When they were yelling and making a fuss, the metal plate remained on the table. I quickly reached out to grab it, but I still couldn't feel anything when I held it tightly in my hand. I believe the words of Liang Chen and Mei Mei, because first of all, they have no reason to lie, although they are naughty and very funny, but if the jokes go to this level, it would be too out of proportion, they would not be so uncute.Secondly, I could see clearly what happened after they touched the metal plate, and it was clearly an extreme accident. At this time, they stretched out their hands again, pressed against the metal plate, and shook their heads together.I asked, "The situation at that time—" The two said: "We feel that Sister Bai is in danger, she is calling for help, and she is in urgent need of help. That... is a life-and-death cry for help. Let's go to rescue her quickly. I'm afraid it will be too late." I was confused by Liangchen and Meijing's words: "Where are you going to save her? The world is so big, do you know where she is?" Liangchen and Meijing suddenly ran towards the door, and I hurriedly said, "Where are you going?" Liang Chen and Mei Mei's actions were about to stop. When they answered my words, they had already arrived downstairs, and a message came from the gate: "It's not long, maybe we can't go far. Let's move fast and look around." When I heard it, when I wanted to stop it, there was no time, I just complained in my heart.It is not known what Bai Su's situation is, but the metal plate played a very strange role just a split second ago, "telling" the good time and beautiful scenery when encountering it, and Bai Su was in extreme danger. However, it does not "tell" the further situation, which is already disturbing and anxious.But the beautiful day and the beautiful scenery are "looking around" aimlessly. From this look, with the speed of the two of them and the weirdness of their actions, will the world soon be in chaos in this crowded modern city? I spread my hands, my whole body felt limp and paralyzed, they have a very good relationship with Bai Su, once I know that Bai Su is in trouble, of course I am anxious, if they cause a catastrophe, I don't know how to deal with it. (Fortunately, the results of their "look around", according to incomplete statistics and the police figures provided by Huang Tang: there were seven serial crashes, one subway delay, and when they flew up a building, about 5,000 people gathered to watch, causing extreme traffic chaos, and three glass windows were broken--the reason is unknown. A total of 67 people were slightly injured, but fortunately no major accidents were caused. By the way, and the police, out of face, did not Ken's stated losses were four police cars crashed and seven police motorcycles overturned in pursuit of two "rapidly moving, causing confusion" targets, with no injuries.) (This is all a later discovery.) (At that time, I was really distraught, helpless, and didn't know what action to take.) I didn't stay for long, and ran to the gate, stood there, at a loss, for a very short time, and suddenly remembered that all the key lies in that metal plate, so I turned back and ran upstairs, Hold that metal plate in your hand. I didn't "feel" anything, turned around, grabbed a bottle of wine, took a couple of sips, and quickly thought about what had happened. Assuming that the tall man who visited was not a good thing—it is reasonable to think so, he came, and after a while, Bai Su disappeared with him, and then received Bai Su's distress signal.This tall man also has a metal plate, which was secretly collected by Zheng Tianlu, and it may be related to the Draconians... Going on and on, can it be said that Bai Su's disappearance and troubles are related to the Tianlongxing people? Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and calmed down a lot.Just now, I was really shocked by Liangchen and Meijing's anxious expressions, and they said that Bai Su was "calling for help", even if Bai Su was in an extremely critical situation, he would not call for help, it was only after they received the signal Feel. I believe that Bai Su's ability to cope with extraordinary changes is superior to mine. The anxious emotions of good times and beautiful scenery have affected me, and I am at a loss.Assuming the worst situation, Bai Su falls into the hands of the Draconians, and the Draconians have no reason to kill her. Thinking of this, I calmed down a lot, remembering that I was so at a loss because of my extreme concern for Bai Su. At this time, the only clue I had was the metal plate, but I didn't know its purpose at all. I was thinking about who could help me, when suddenly I was shocked. It was a very wonderful feeling: I kept holding the metal plate, and a feeling was transmitted from the metal plate to my hand - very clear and sure - as if the hand touched something, and the sense of touch could tell me what it was. what is it.But at this time, the amazing thing is that the "sense of touch" is actually telling me that someone is calling my name.So, it was as if I "heard" someone calling me, or in other words, felt someone calling me: "Wesley, Wesley." What should I do?Do I use the touch of my fingers to answer?I don't have this kind of ability, so I had to listen to a person "calling" me continuously. After calling a dozen times, I agreed to it in my heart. It was a very strange phenomenon. My promise will be heard by the "person" who called me, and I don't know how the caller used to make me hear his cry, but it is a very natural reaction to answer when someone calls his name. But such an ordinary and natural behavior, in this situation, is strange and inexplicable. The voice that I can feel calling my name gives people the feeling of some seductive messenger from the underworld, which makes people feel chills all over the body, as if In between a call and a response, the three souls and seven souls of a person will be hooked out of the body. The palm of the hand holding the metal plate was sweating faintly. Finally, after I felt indescribable fear, the metal plate became "quiet", and I took a deep breath. But it was only a very short time, and then, I passed the metal plate again, and "felt" the voice, the voice was still calling my name, but it was full of excitement and happiness: "Wesley, you are amazing, you really heard my call." I can really feel the sound clearly, and I can even "hear" the tone of the voice very happily.But in fact, there is no sound at all.I know that it must be the effect of that metal plate - when the good day and the beautiful scenery touched it, they "heard" Bai Su's "help" and naturally it was the same situation. I speculate that the metal plate can absorb a kind of energy, Then radiate out, through the contact of the human body, stimulate the auditory nerve in the brain, so that people can "hear" the sound. After making this assumption, the fear lessens and the curiosity flourishes: Who is talking to me? I still answered in my heart, the same as when I heard the cry just now: "It's not that I'm special, it's just a coincidence, who are you?" The voice I "heard" yelled loudly: "Why can't you even recognize me? Those popular people didn't do anything to you, did they?" I couldn't help saying "ah": "Zheng Baoyun." Of course it was Zheng Baoyun, except for him, no one knew about the entanglement between me and the "Red Man".And I can't "hear" his voice, so I can't blame me, because after all, I don't really hear the voice. I yelled loudly: "Zheng Baoyun, where are you?" I pressed the metal plate tighter, and what I "heard" was: "I need your help, you come to a place where...at...at..." The voice actually hesitated, and I was extremely anxious: "Don't talk about your business first, I want your help. Bai Su disappeared mysteriously. I also received her distress signal through the same method I communicate with you now. Now How is she? Where is she?" The situation in front of me is extremely complicated, I don't know how many words to describe it in detail, and it may not be clear, so I can only ask Bai Su how the situation is now. I don't know if Bai Su's experience is related to Zheng Baoyun, but since they are all transmitting information to others through metal plates, there should naturally be a certain connection between them. After I asked twice, Zheng Baoyun finally said: "You came to me first, the matter will be resolved naturally." (I still just "feel" Zheng Baoyun's voice, but for the convenience of writing, I will regard the contact with Zheng Baoyun as a dialogue.) (This way of conversation, at first glance, seems a bit unbelievable, but it’s actually not too complicated. The basic principle is no different from the very common telephone conversations now.) (Sound waves turn into electric waves, and the electric waves return to sound waves after being transmitted. This is the same principle that people can talk on the phone. This principle, this way of talking, is as incredible as people heard two hundred years ago. ) At that time, I was very annoyed: "Listen, I don't care what you Draconians are like, if Bai Su suffers any damage, just wait and see." Zheng Baoyun snorted: "The matter is quite complicated. It is easy to solve it when you come here. I don't know why you are sure that something is wrong with Bai Su?" I said, "She once called for help." Zheng Baoyun hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding... Is it the signal you received, just like you receive my signal now?" I took a breath: "No, it was received by a pair of girls." Zheng Baoyun seemed more impatient than I was: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. I was the one who called for help. She...is fine now, please come quickly." I don't know why he hesitated, hesitated, and asked, "Where are we going to meet you? There is a very tall strange man wearing a hat who came to look for Bai Su. Is that you from the Dragon Star?" When Zheng Baoyun heard it, he let out a low voice that sounded very frightened: "Please, don't ask questions now, and act quickly." I wanted to ridicule him at first, because after he became a Draconian, he looked down on the arrogance of the earthlings, but now he asked me for help.But I held back and didn't say anything, because Bai Su's situation was unknown, after all, he was the only clue. I said, "Okay, where are you?" Zheng Baoyun paused for another moment, and I urged him again and again before he said: "You can contact me now, you should have a... metal plate in your hand?" I hurriedly said: "Yes, that phenomenon is very strange, what is that metal plate... a magic weapon?" Zheng Baoyun hurriedly said: "Put the metal plate close to your forehead, and you will know where to find me." His "words" surprised me so much, why didn't he just tell me where I was going, and why did the metal plate tell me? I hesitated for a very short time before sticking the metal plate to my forehead.The area where the forehead is in contact with the metal plate is about half of the forehead, and the closest contact is the forehead between the eyes.I closed my eyes naturally. At the beginning, I didn't feel anything. After a while, I saw many vertical and horizontal lines, forming a grid. There are numbers on those lines, which are moving rapidly. When I realize that they are the latitude and longitude lines on the earth, the movement has become slow and stopped on a scale. The numbers I see are "1750, 10-20, 10". The number was fleeting - the metal plate displayed the number, and it was close to my forehead. The number entered my memory at once by some unknown force. It took me a very long time to "see" this set of numbers. It's short, but I can remember it firmly. Then, what I saw was a strangely shaped island in a vast ocean, which was a bird's-eye view from a very high altitude.Then, the altitude is decreasing rapidly, and the small island is also growing rapidly. I saw the mountains, streams, and forests on the island until I saw only one mountain top with many jagged boulders. On a square boulder. That big rock seemed nothing special at all, but within half a second after I "saw" it, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.Obviously, the transmission of visual image ends here. I waited for a while, only to hear Zheng Baoyun's very weak voice: "Come on, come on." Next, after waiting for another three minutes, not only could I not "see" anything, but I could not "hear" anything. I put down the metal plate, opened a very detailed atlas based on the numbers in my memory, and soon found the small island, which is Tongatapu Island, the main island of the Tonga Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The intersection is the central part of the island. I looked at the map and thought quickly: Where did Zheng Baoyun want me to go, and all of a sudden, the matter was related to the Tonga Islands. But since the whole thing is related to at least two kinds of extraterrestrials, how far the distance between stars is, usually "light-year" is used as the distance calculation unit. On the earth, no matter how far the distance is, It's just calculated in kilometers. For aliens, suddenly going from the Philippines to the Tonga Islands is as common as taking a step or two for people on earth. I pressed my hand on the metal plate for a while again, but there was no response. Thinking about it, Zheng Baoyun seemed very anxious, and Bai Su didn't know what to do. I really shouldn't just sit at home and make assumptions, and I can't waste time. Human transportation is not only backward, but travel procedures are extremely complicated. After having contact with aliens, I feel that people on earth are not only backward, but also extremely stupid-everyone comes and goes on the earth, but the The formalities of exit and entry are time-consuming and troublesome, which is in line with the criticism of "popular people": people on earth have a narrow and natural exclusivity. At this time, it would be great if there was a spaceship of the "Red Man".I don't think I will be able to reach Dongjatapu Island in less than an hour, and land directly next to the big rock on the top of the mountain - I believe that is where Zheng Baoyun wants me to go. Of course, I couldn't have the assistance of the "Red Man" spaceship, so in the end, after forty-seven hours, I arrived at Fuamotu Airport at the southern tip of the island, rented a car immediately, and drove to the center of the island. Fortunately, the island is not big, and the terrain is still flat. An hour later, we drove up to the small hill. I have never been here before, but I have "seen" it from a distance and from a bird's-eye view.So everything is very familiar, and those big jagged rocks seem to be no strangers. Here, I must add that when I was leaving the residence, I did a few things: I left a note to Liang Chen and Mei Mei (they have not returned yet), telling them that I had a clue of Bai Su's whereabouts, Going off to find her.I didn't tell my itinerary, because I was afraid that they would follow. Since everything is unpredictable, and they are bold and easy to get into trouble, it's better not to provoke them. In the message, I also told them not to worry, because Bai Su is very Resilience. I also left a note for Bai Su, because I am absolutely not sure whether Bai Su is also in Tonga.I told Bai Su that I was going to Donggatapu Island—this message was written in a special password agreed between me and Bai Su, and no one else could understand it. When I was leaving, of course, I carried the metal plate with me, and I kept carrying it, hoping to pass through it again, and get a message, but I got nothing, and got me into a lot of trouble--at customs At that time, the reaction of this metal plate on the metal detector was extremely abnormal, which made the customs officers very nervous. If I didn't have a special certificate from the international police, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get on the plane at all. So, when I finally arrived as fast as I could, and saw the strange rocks all over the mountain, I was greatly relieved.
