Again 倪匡 6918Words 2018-03-14
There were two young men standing in the corridor. When they saw me, they showed great attention. I knew that at this time, I couldn't show my composure at all. So I reversed the two of them and waved: "Please come here." The two young men glanced at each other, apparently confused about what I was trying to do, but they still walked towards me, and when they approached, I ordered in a grand manner: "Get a car ready for me." There was a look of doubt on their faces, I didn't give them much consideration at all, and said: "I have talked with the doctor, I am here to participate in his work, I want to go back to get some things, the doctor is inside, you Do you have to ask him before he will listen to me?"

As I said that, I made a gesture to push the door open. At this time, I made two plans. If they really wanted to poke their heads in to see the doctor, then I would sneak up on them from behind, enough to knock them both unconscious. And if they express their trust in me, that would be the best. As a result, when I made a gesture to push the door, the two of them said together: "No need, but we... don't have any extra cars." Impatiently, I said, "Then, call and hail a taxi for me!" The two of them agreed, and I walked towards the door. Not long after I arrived at the door, a taxi came, and I found that the two young men were always behind me. They waved.

The taxi pulled out of the intersection, and I told the driver to drive faster, and I gasped for air, as if I had just been buried alive and then exhumed. Of course I've never been buried alive, but I do have that extreme sense of suffocation. My strange movements caused the driver to look at me frequently, and asked with great concern, "Sir, are you feeling well?" I hurriedly said: "No, I just hope to arrive soon, please drive faster." The driver liked to talk very much, and said again: "Sir, your complexion is very bad. You seem to have just been tied up by someone and escaped from the bandit's lair."

I forced a smile again, the car had already turned into the busy city, and stopped in front of Xiao Guo's office after a while. I almost rushed into Xiao Guo's office, and all the people looked at me with very strange expressions. I pushed open the door of Xiao Guo's office, and Xiao Guo was talking with a fat woman full of jewels. I must have looked very ugly, because when the fat woman saw me, she screamed amusedly. I gave the fat woman a cold look and shouted, "Get out!" The fat woman stood up at a loss, I yelled again, she ran out in a panic, I closed the door, Xiao Guo spread his hands: "You drove away my client!"

I didn't say anything, opened his wine cabinet, took out a bottle of whiskey, uncorked it, took two big gulps, and then turned around: "Xiao Guo, you are much luckier than me!" Xiao Guo didn't know what it meant, but just stared at me with wide eyes, and I said again: "You didn't pick them, but I met Dr. Meng and brought them to do experiments!" Xiao Guo immediately showed a very excited expression: "Really, what did you encounter?" My mind is very messy, I have encountered too many things, and it is impossible to finish it all at once, and, if I tell it, Xiao Guo may not believe it, so I just panted.

Xiao Guo knows me well, so when he sees me like this, he knows that things are not trivial! Xiao Guo hurriedly said: "What about you? But you have been—" Before he could finish his words, I remembered the strange appearance of those old people who had undergone experiments. I quickly shook my head and said, "No, I don't have anything, nothing happened to me!" Xiao Guo stared at me blankly. He was probably also stunned by my expression, so he couldn't say a word. It wasn't until I gradually recovered that he said again: "So... what happened?" I want to tell him what exactly I saw at Dr. Meng's place.But for such a thing, I don't even have the courage to think about it again, let alone ask me to tell it again.

I shook my head: "Don't ask me." Xiao Guo smiled bitterly: "Don't ask you? How can I do that, I want to know the truth of the matter." I stood up: "I'll give you an address, you go and inform the police, it's best to go with senior police officers, and when you get there, you can know the truth!" After I finished speaking, I took a few breaths before telling Dr. Meng's address to him. Xiao Guo hurriedly wrote down the address I told him, but his face was still full of doubts! However, I didn't wait for him to ask, and said: "You don't have to ask me why, after you get there and see the situation there, you will be like me and never want to mention it again!"

Xiao Guo didn't say anything, and I staggered out as if I was drunk. Xiao Guo hurriedly said, "Do you want me to take you back?" I waved my hand and said, "Of course not. You'd better contact the police as soon as possible. I'm afraid there will be accidents if it's too late." Xiao Guo nodded, and I walked out of his office, out of the building, and then back home, sleeping with my head covered. In my deep sleep, I had many nightmares. Finally, I dreamed of that monster like a meat ball, stretching out something like an octopus tentacles, shaking my body, and I screamed in fright.

As I screamed, I opened my eyes. In front of me, of course, was not the meatball, but a very beautiful face, which belonged to my wife Bai Su. At that moment, I couldn't help being stunned, Bai Su is naturally beautiful and lovely, but in the eyes of other creatures, can the appearance of a human be considered weird and inexplicable, I asked myself. If I were a creature whose appearance was completely different from that of a human being, seeing the strange appearance of a human being might also cause a burst of nausea. The appearance of a person, if you describe it carefully, can be said to be extremely strange. Just look, there is a spherical body on the top of the person, and there are several holes on the sphere, and two of the holes are still growing. Hair, and on the whole ball, there is also hair, in a big hole, there is even a stretchable soft one, with greasy liquid, strange red thing, and two rows of white bones!Enough, just seeing a human head is weird enough, but because we see it from birth, we don't think it's weird at all, and we think it's beautiful and cute!

Seeing me staring at her without blinking, Bai Su was very surprised: "What's wrong with you?" I hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I... had a big nightmare, luckily you woke me up in time." Bai Su laughed: "I didn't shake you awake because you were having a nightmare, a guest is coming." I asked lazily, "Who?" "Xiao Guo, and Lieutenant Colonel Jack of the police." As soon as I heard that it was the two of them, I immediately jumped up from the bed. The two of them came, it must be because of Dr. Meng. But Bai Su showed a very worried expression: "What trouble did you get into? Because I saw that lieutenant colonel, he seemed very angry, and Xiao Guo also looked a little at a loss."

I shook my head and said, "No, I didn't cause trouble." When I said that, I thought to myself, Jack and Xiao Guo, one was angry and the other was at a loss, that should be a normal reaction after seeing what happened to Dr. Meng. But then, I knew I was wrong. I hurried to the living room, when I saw Xiao Guo and Lieutenant Colonel Jack, their expressions were exactly as Bai Su described, but to my surprise, Lieutenant Colonel Jack was in the He was pacing back and forth, but as soon as he saw me, he immediately stood still and said coldly, "Here we come, the hero is here!" Xiao Guo also quickly stood up from the sofa and smiled wryly: "You made me suffer!" I still don't know what happened, so I said: "Xiao Guo, but you finally saw the truth of the matter." Lieutenant Colonel Jack suddenly yelled: "We didn't see anything, we only saw you, a clown, talking nonsense!" I couldn't help being stunned when I heard Lieutenant Colonel Jack say that. I suppressed the anger in my heart for a while: "What does this mean?" Xiao Guo smiled bitterly: "According to the address you mentioned, I rushed there with the police, but it was an empty house!" "Empty room?" I called. Jack still looked at me angrily, while Xiao Guo nodded and said, "Yes, it's all empty, nothing at all." I hurriedly said: "That's impossible, I haven't been away for a long time, you may have found the wrong place, let's go again!" Lieutenant Colonel Jack said coldly: "Wesley, you have too many tricks, I am not interested." I said loudly: "You must go, there, you will see weird things you have never seen before." After all, Xiao Guo has confidence in me, he immediately stood by my side: "Okay, let's go again!" Both of us looked at Lieutenant Colonel Jack. After all, Jack is also a very good police officer. As long as there is something suspicious, he will not give up. So, after he stayed for half a minute, he laughed at himself: "Well, I might as well be a fool again!" The three of us went out together, and there was a police car parked outside the door. I asked the police officer who was driving to sit down and let me drive. I increased the speed of the car to a terrifying level. Never before has a police car rampaged through the urban area like this. I stopped the car suddenly, the car was at the door of Dr. Meng's residence, and Jack immediately sneered: "We didn't look in the wrong place, look at our hero, what can we find?" I endured Jack's cynicism: "Xiao Guo, this is where you came just now?" Xiao Guo nodded and said, "Yes, it's here." I stayed there for a few seconds, and in those few seconds, I thought about a lot of things, I thought about everything I saw and heard in this room, it must be true, it could never be me hallucinations! Since I was sitting still in the car, Jack started swearing at me again. He sneered and said, "Huh? What's the matter? You retreated? Or do you want to tell us that you were just dreaming?" "Jack!" I couldn't help being very angry, and shouted: "Don't do that, maybe after I left, they knew that their secrets could not be kept, so they retreated quickly!" When I said this, I paused for a while, and Jack still looked at me with disdain. He could have a chance to attack me like that, and he might be so proud that he wanted to engrave this incident on the tombstone. Because I have dealt with him many times, and every time he was the one to lose, there was a hatred for me that was hard to vent in his heart, so he naturally refused to let me go. I continued: "It's just that they won't have much time to retreat, they will definitely leave something behind, and I must be able to find something in the empty house!" Jack sneered and said, "Then you go, why are you still sitting in the car?" I opened the car door and jumped out of the car. Xiao Guo hurriedly followed behind me. Lieutenant Colonel Jack got out of the car with several police officers. We entered the very old house together. A house with an ancient appearance like that can be unique in this city, of course I can't make a mistake, and after I entered, the furnishings in the living room didn't change much. But everything was quite different from the last time I came, the living room was in a mess. I kept walking, I remembered the structure of the house, and I searched room after room.But all they found was messy. There were several rooms that looked as if they had been trampled by hundreds of elephants. I finally came to the door of the big room where Dr. Meng showed me the two monsters. The big room was at the end of the corridor. I pushed the door and it was locked. I didn't bother to speak to Jack, but I just gestured to him, and Jack immediately shot two shots at the lock. The lock was broken, so I kicked the door open and walked in. As soon as I walked in, before I opened the other doors, I naturally couldn't see those monsters, but I couldn't help it, and I felt a tremor, and my voice even trembled. I pointed to those doors and said, "Those doors, have you seen them? You only need to open any of them, and you can see monsters that you have never seen before in your life!" As soon as I finished those few words, I immediately strode out. Xiao Guo was surprised and said, "Hey, what are you doing?" I have already retreated outside the door: "It's nothing, it's just that I don't want to see those monsters anymore." After I got outside the door, I heard another gunshot, and then there was a "bang", the sound of a door being kicked open, and then Jack's roar. But at that time, my body couldn't help shaking. Thinking of the monsters in those small rooms, I couldn't help but tremble, so I hurriedly took two steps forward. The farther away from those monsters, the better psychologically. However, just as I walked away, someone grabbed my shoulders tightly.That kind of thing happened to me, no one would believe it if I told it, because I am an extremely agile person, if someone approached me from behind, I would definitely be able to detect it. However, thinking of those monsters made me feel inexplicably terrified, and I was grabbed by the shoulders before I knew it. I hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Jack who grabbed my shoulder. I hurriedly said, "Did you see those monsters? You can imagine... what those monsters looked like!" Jack let go of my shoulders, but he yelled, "I can't believe you're such a boring liar!" I couldn't help being stunned, Jack exclaimed: "There is nothing in those small rooms, they are all empty!" I didn't have the courage to go into that room anymore, and after hearing that, I went in again. Almost all the doors were opened, and every door was empty without anything. I rushed to a door. In that room, there was originally a glass oxygen box, and there was a fruit-like thing in the box. According to Dr. Meng, it was the original form of human life. but.Now there is nothing in the room! I stood there dumbfounded, and murmured: "They moved away, they moved everything away!" Jack sneered behind me: "I'm sorry, I'll see you too!" He waved to those police officers, and they immediately followed him out. Xiao Guo looked at me, hesitating, and did not leave, while I was still standing like a log. After a long time, Xiao Guo said, "Why don't you go!" I shook my head: "No, I have to search carefully to see if they have anything left. They don't have much time, so there should be something left behind." Xiao Guo sighed: "Why do you refuse to tell me what strange things you encountered here?" I looked at Xiao Guo for a while, and when I was looking at him, I almost decided to tell him what happened. But finally, I changed my mind, and I sighed: "No, I won't tell you, you better not know." Xiao Guo was a little angry, but naturally he couldn't lose his temper in front of me, he just waved his hand, and I said, "Let's look up and down and see if there is anything worth noting." Xiao Guo didn't say anything more, so we searched carefully in this room. We searched for several hours before we stopped the meaningless work. I say this kind of work is meaningless because we can't find anything at all, there is nothing, what is left is all the things that can be found in any house, and everything I want to find is completely obscured. Dr. Meng has done such a thorough retreat work, which is really unexpected to me. Xiao Guo and I walked out of the huge house and came to the road. I looked very depressed, lowered my head, and walked slowly. Xiao Guo suddenly said: "I have a clue, and I can track them down." I was too frustrated to even talk, just looked at him. Xiao Guo said: "They moved a lot of things - according to what you said, then they must use many trucks and many very skilled movers. It must be a large-scale moving company to complete this matter. You Say it is not!" "Of course!" I exclaimed excitedly. "Investigate all the moving companies, there may be clues," Xiao Guo continued, "I can handle this matter. You should take a rest. You don't seem to be in a good spirit." I know that in terms of Xiao Guo's talent, it is easy to do such a thing, and I really need to take a break, so I nodded. Xiao Guo stretched out his hand and stopped a street car. He let me get on the car first, and I said, "Don't forget, as soon as you have any news, let me know immediately!" "Of course, don't worry!" he replied. I got in the car, and in the car, my mind was in utter confusion. When I got home, I didn't say a word, just sat in a daze. I think, after I left, when Xiaoguo and Jack went to the old big house together, it took no more than four or five hours at most, and Dr. Meng's actions were so clean and tidy! I really can't imagine where he moved to. In that room, there are not only equipment, but also many monsters like that! Now, where Dr. Meng is, I can only rely on Xiao Guo's investigation, I can't help but sigh, Bai Su looked at me with sympathy, and said softly: "What's on your mind?" I shook my head: "It's nothing, the person we're looking for has left, and I'm wondering where he went." Bai Su held my hand: "Don't think too much, what you're thinking about really has nothing to do with you, right?" I stayed for a while, and then said: "It can be said that there is no direct relationship, but it is not completely unrelated. You still remember that night, when we came out of the opera house, the middle-aged man we saw, his name is Dr. Meng, you know What kind of joke did Dr. Meng play with life?" Bai Su shook his head, but didn't make a sound. I sighed a few more times. I never wanted to tell anyone what Dr. Meng had done, but if I kept such a thing in my heart and didn’t tell others, it would cause great pain in my heart. I feel uneasy, so I still have to speak out. I told Bai Su what Dr. Meng had done in detail.After finishing speaking, Bai Su's complexion was very pale, but my heart felt a lot more relaxed. After a while, Bai Su said: "That's terrible, that's really, really terrible!" I smiled wryly: "But Dr. Meng is still complacent, thinking that he has done a very good deed, and he also threatened that there will be no death in the future, and those kinds of 'recreated humans' with strange shapes will live with us on the earth superior!" Bai Su's eyes widened in a daze: "I think that's impossible, it's just his dream." I didn't say anything more, because even if it was Dr. Meng's dream, part of his dream has already been realized, because he already has more than a dozen such recreated humans! Xiao Guo's news didn't come until noon the next day. He said on the phone: "I have found out, Dr. Meng also expected that we would investigate the moving company, so he ordered the moving company not to tell anyone, but , I still found the same!" "Where did he move everything?" "A total of seven large trucks moved to the pier, and three barges transported the things away. We have not found the three ships, so we have no way to track down his real whereabouts." I frowned and said, "The three ships cannot be hidden. As long as we continue to investigate, we will definitely be able to find them." Xiao Guo said: "Yes, I will check again." Xiao Guo's second message came at three o'clock in the afternoon. He said, "I have found those three ships." I hurriedly said: "How is it?" Xiao Guo said: "According to the owners of the three ships, they transported everything to a medium-sized ship moored in the harbor. After loading the goods, they left." "What kind of ship is that?" "This is the difficulty. The nationality of the ship is unknown. It is said that it left the harbor immediately after loading the cargo. I only know that it is very dilapidated!" I took a breath: "It may be Dr. Meng's private ship!" Xiao Guo agreed: "I think so too." I added: "Even if it's a private ship, you can check its whereabouts from the port management office." "I've checked. According to the ship's report, it's heading for the Solomon Islands. It's a very long voyage. Moreover, I don't know his exact destination. Where is it?" I sighed: "I hope that Dr. Meng's experiment will stop here, it's really terrible!" Xiao Guo was silent on the phone for a moment before saying, "What exactly did you see, you should tell me." I thought about it, Xiao Guo is my good friend, of course I shouldn't hide it from him, so I told Xiao Guo the details of the incident again, and I described it in great detail, even myself, and I couldn't help feeling sick again. When I finished speaking, Xiao Guo's bitter laughter came over: "I'm so lucky!" I know what he meant when he said that. He said he was "lucky" because we both dressed up as old people at the same time, but I was found by Dr. Meng, who didn't have such a terrible experience. I sighed, and Xiao Guo said: "I think let's forget about this matter. Dr. Meng has already left this place. The matter itself is so terrible, so let's not pursue it any further." I immediately replied: "Xiao Guo, what you say is useless, you know that it is not in line with my character!" Xiao Guo didn't say anything, just said: "Then, I'll go and pay attention to the movement of that ship." "Okay," I put down the phone. For the next few days, I was in a trance. Almost every night, I had nightmares, and all the monsters that appeared in my nightmares were without exception. But there has been no news of Dr. Meng, and no old man mysteriously disappeared. As time passed, my impression of horror gradually faded. Of course, I can't forget it. When I think of it, I still have a cold feeling. After more than half a year, I almost forgot about Dr. Meng, but that morning, when I opened the newspaper, I saw a news item: A monster appeared in Hawaii, and the witnesses fainted from shock.
