The painting was well printed, and the original photo was also well taken, like a fishbone swimming in water! A fishbone is swimming! I immediately associated it with "an arm bone waving", "a hand bone opening a door". My eyes were fixed on the picture of the transparent fish, and I felt that the whole room seemed to be spinning. For a transparent fish, the muscles of the fish body will never hinder the transmission of light, so it looks like a fish bone swimming in the water. So, is it the same for Wang Yan and Yan Fen? Could it be that their muscles are completely unable to block light, so although their muscles exist, they cannot be seen by human eyes because of the smooth passage of light, so the two of them have actually become transparent What about people?

Oh, on the one hand, I feel that such an idea is too arrogant and ridiculous. However, I feel more and more that my thoughts have grasped some facts. Absolutely no one can move freely without pain after the muscles in the hands and arms have completely disappeared. It must be just their muscles, which disappeared from my sight. In fact, the muscles still exist. My heart was pounding. It was an unthinkable thing. Although I am confident that I have found the answer, but I can't know why the two of them became like this! I stayed there for a while before I remembered to look at the description of the transparent fish.The explanation is very simple. It is said that this transparent fish is native to several streams in South America, and has been successfully bred in aquariums in recent years.This kind of fish has a strong sense of self-fear. If it is kept with other fish, it must stay away from other fish. Even if it starves to death, it will not get close to other fish.

There are two points in this passage that draw my attention. First, this transparent fish is native to South America.Yan Fen, who has studied history, affirmed that the brass box was a product of the Inca Empire era.It was after the Inca Empire established their high civilization in South America that they disappeared mysteriously. Second, that kind of fish has a strong sense of self-fear, isn't it the same for Wang Yan and Yan Fen now? In fact, it’s no wonder that Wang Yan and Yan Fen are friends. Just think about it, when you stand in front of a full-length mirror, and the reflection of you in the mirror is not a person with flesh and blood, but just a dry bone, how can you not be there? Do you have a strong sense of fear in your heart?

Can you not be terrified when you can only touch the muscles of your own body and not see the ones you were born with? I believe that Wang Yan and Yan Fen came to me one after another because they wanted to ask me for help. But they finally rushed out without opening their mouths! That's naturally because they felt a strong sense of fear when they saw me! I really doubt that a normal person, under such an accident, how long his nerves can last without collapsing. I suddenly put down the "Primary Color Tropical Fish Atlas": I want to find both of them! I already know that the two of them are on an outlying island. Of course, I can't search for them island by island, but I can ask the local police to send a helicopter to help me find them through my relationship with the international police.

Through direct search by helicopter and careful aerial photography, it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.I don't even have to explain to the police what I'm looking for, and the police will definitely agree without my request. I immediately contacted the police, the helicopter is ready-made and can be dispatched at any time, and the installation of the aerial camera can only be completed in a very short time.I just need one helper: driver and photographer.Originally, I could fly it by myself, but I am afraid that if I am the only one, I have to land the helicopter on the island after I find them, and they will do something unwise out of extreme fear Come.

When I arrived at the heliport, it was already twilight and I communicated my orders to the pilot.I ordered him: keep circling over the outlying islands until something is found. Carrying sufficient fuel, we circled and circled again, and I watched every deserted island with a long-range telescope. In the afternoon, the helicopter had flown back to the base twice to refuel. I really doubted whether Wang Yan’s yacht could sail that far, but I still searched for each island, and I also told the pilot not to fly too low , lest Wang Yan and Yan Fen be alerted that I was looking for them. As dusk approached, the fuel for the helicopter did not allow us to continue searching. I was about to give up the search and go home to study the aerial photography carefully. Suddenly, beside a lonely island, I saw a ship Medium yacht.

In the telescope, I can clearly see the English word "Quaternion" on the stern of the boat.Wang Yan is a mathematician, and he named his yacht after this term. I discovered Wang Yan's yacht, and my excitement was indescribable. I ordered the pilot to fly away, and then, the helicopter approached the sea, first lowered an inflated rubber boat, and then I also jumped out of the helicopter and landed on the rubber boat, the helicopter lifted off, leaving me behind. Alone on the vast sea. Twilight was spreading quickly, and when I was on the surface, halfway through the paddle, it was already very dark.

Fortunately, I can still see the small island in front of me, so I won't lose my target. When my rubber boat approached the island silently, I rowed half a circle around the island, which brought me close to Wang Yan's yacht.There was obviously no one in the yacht, the two of them were on the island. I hid the dinghy between two rocks and climbed ashore. The island was dark and very still.When I rowed towards this island on the sea, I only felt that the island was very small. But when I landed on the island, I felt that it was not easy to find two people in the steep caves and deep bushes.

I walked on with the lightest of steps, and it was helpful that it was very dark, for that kept me from being seen by either of them. As I walked, I listened attentively. When I came to the center of the island, I suddenly smelled a burnt smell, which belonged to the burnt smell from the food! I stopped immediately, carefully discerning the direction of the smell of burnt meat, and then walked forward slowly.After a while, although in the thick darkness, I could see a tent, pitched beside a small stream. As soon as I saw the tent, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Because if I take a few steps forward, I can meet the only two transparent people in the world.

I slowly approached the tent, until I reached out and touched the rough canvas of the tent, I heard Wang Yan's voice from inside the tent, saying: "Fen, what are you thinking about?" I stopped quickly, for fear of alarming them. Of course I want them to know that I've found them.But I have to find the most appropriate way to show up.If at this time, I suddenly made a sound, or even showed up, then I think the two of them would definitely go crazy due to the excessive shock. I lay still, only to hear Yan Fen's voice, also coming from the tent: "Yan, you may not believe it, but I'm not thinking about our own affairs."

Wang Yandao: "Then what are you thinking about?" Yan Fen said: "I was thinking, I have solved a great mystery in history, but if it is announced, no one will believe me, no historian will believe my conclusion." Wang Yan sighed: "Until now, you are still thinking about history!" Yan Fen smiled bitterly: "I can't think about it, no matter what, I will try to let the world know that this historical mystery has been solved by me." Wang Yan's voice seemed very helpless: "What historical mystery have you solved?" Yan Fen's voice was very excited: "The Inca Empire, the Inca Empire on the South American plain, a group of Indians, formed the Inca Empire, which was the most civilized ancient country in the world at that time, but later, all the people in this ancient country The people are all gone, leaving only exquisite ruins for people to pay tribute to, so far no one has been able to research the reason for that, what caused this ancient country with a high degree of civilization to disappear?" Wang Yan still smiled wryly, and said, "Then what do you say it is for?" Yan Fen said: "Does it need to be said? Of course, all the people of the Inca Empire will suffer the same fate as us!" Wang Yan's voice was full of horror: "Fen, do you think we will die?" Yan Fen said: "What's the matter with you, people will always die. Sigh!" Wang Yan remained silent. Yan Fen sighed again: "We are modern people, and our nerves are naturally stronger than ancient people, but we have encountered such a thing, and we have been shocked to this extent. Think about it, if ancient people, they would How about it?" Wang Yan remained silent. Yan Fen's voice was very heavy: "Suicide, the ancient people must have thought it was the end of the world, it must be a terrible collective suicide, which made the people of the Inca Empire completely dead, suddenly, an ancient country Gone!" Wang Yan remained silent. Yan Fen's voice sounded like she was standing on the rostrum of a conference of historians, delivering her decisive academic speech: "However, there are still some people who didn't immediately panic to commit suicide. Take that brass box, put that—” When Yan Fen talked about it, Wang Yan suddenly shouted: "Don't mention that devil thing!" Yan Fen paused, but did not say what was in the brass box. She continued: "They still cast a relief painting of the situation at that time on the surface of the box. All living things, only bones are left!" When I heard it, I couldn't help shaking.My guess has been confirmed by Yan Fen's words.Sure enough, the muscles of Yan Fen and Wang Yan had disappeared—disappeared from people's sight. Wang Yan screamed: "Stop talking! Stop talking, I can't take it anymore!" He yelled a few times, and suddenly said: "Light on the lamp and see, we may have returned to the original state." Yan Fen said: "No, don't think about it." But Wang Yan insisted: "We will suddenly become so scary, and naturally we may suddenly return to the original state. You light the lamp, let's take a look!" Wang Yan's voice was full of eager hope. I heard a fumbling sound, and then, as soon as the light came on, I quickly put my eyes on a seam of the tent. From that gap, I could see what was going on in the tent. My God, I couldn't help but tightly grasped the tent rope that I could hold, my hands were sweating, I... what should I say?How should I put it? What I see, what I see, alas, is that really what I see? I saw, under the light of a lantern, two complete bones, one sitting and the other squatting. I can undoubtedly identify their genders because of the different structures of the pelvic bones. The one sitting on the ground is female, so it is naturally Yan Fen, and the squatting one is naturally Wang Yan. I saw Wang Yan pressing desperately with his finger bones an inch away from his arm bones. There was no way his phalanx could touch the arm bone. This is a matter of course, just like you and I can't touch the bones of our arms with the tip of our finger bones, because there are muscles in our arms, but they have become crystal-like transparent. His voice was full of despair, and he said: "I can't see anything, I can't see anything, no muscles, no nerves, no blood, no hair! Why don't even the bones become transparent? Then we are The real invisible man!" Yan Fen also spoke—I saw the upper and lower jaws opening and closing rapidly: "Unfortunately, that thing is gone." "Don't mention that thing!" Wang Yan shouted. At this time, I saw the only difference between the two of them and the dry bones, that is, the eyeballs of the two of them are still in the eye sockets, and in the sockets of the eye bones, there are two lonely, dark eyes that look more It's sweaty. Of course, I must be able to see their eyeballs, because if the light could even pass through their eyeballs, then they themselves would not be able to see anything. After a while, Wang Yan said: "...What are you doing with that thing again?" Yan Fen smiled wryly "Hey": "I mean, if we face the mysterious light for a longer time, or more times, will our bones become invisible?" Wang Yan lay down, wrapped one of his arm bones around Yan Fen's Bai Sensen's neck bone. I could see the bones of both of them, although of course they were not wearing any clothes.This is quite understandable.They were originally an unmarried couple, but they suddenly encountered such a terrible experience. They didn't know when and how they could live. Why didn't they try to enjoy life as much as possible while they were still alive? If I could see the muscles on their bodies, then it must be a beautiful spring in the tent, and I would blush. But now, it was just two white bones lying side by side. All of a sudden, I thought that if all of us, whose skeletons are covered by a layer of visible muscles, could come to see what Wang Yan and Yan Fen were doing at this time, they would definitely be enlightened. After decades of life, sooner or later, bones will be turned into bones. Even before they turn into bones, it is just a thin layer of muscle that is wrapped around the bones and moving. Why are there so many emotions and desires? Wang Yan sighed and said, "Blow out the lamp." Yan Fen bent over, and I could see the front and back of her ribs, that is to say, I could see through her body, but I could only see the bones, and nothing else. The lights in the tent were turned off, and it took me a while before I had the strength to take a few steps back and sit on the ground. I have found Wang Yan and Yan Fen, but what should I do?Shall I show up to meet them? Put yourself in the shoes of others, if I became such a strange figure, how would I avoid others?Of course I don't want to meet anyone, meeting them is definitely not the way! So, do I leave a letter and just sit back and see their reaction? That's not the way, because they will be as shocked when they read the letter I left behind, as anyone who sees me. I sat blankly for a long time, but I still couldn't think of a way. I put this idea aside for a while, and briefly summarized what happened to the two of them.Now, I know that after Wang Yan opened the brass box, there was a mysterious light in the box, and Wang Yan first became a transparent person. Because that mysterious light first shone on him. However, Yan Fen also had the same experience. Where did Yan Fen meet Wang Yan, why she had the same experience, and how she and Wang Yan came to this small island, I have no idea. All I know is that everything that happened to Yan Fen happened within a day after she broke up with me that morning. Moreover, I also know that the object that emits mysterious light is no longer with them. How anxious I was to ask them what it was, and where it was now!But I didn't dare to show up, for fear of alarming them. I walked quietly to the tent again. I hope to hear more from the conversation between the two of them, because I know that the two of them will certainly not be able to sleep. Sure enough, not long after I hid beside the tent, I heard Wang Yan's voice again. Wang Yan sighed first, and then said: "What you said makes sense." Yan Fen said: "What did I say?" Wang Yandao: "If we are irradiated by that kind of light a few times, our whole body may become transparent and become invisible. Then our situation will be better than now." Yan Fen said: "That's right, but that thing is at Professor Luo's house. How can we get to Professor Luo's house? I really don't want to wrap myself up and mix in people." I was secretly surprised, it turned out that the matter was really related to Professor Luo.It seems that my original inference was not wrong at all. After Wang Yan left my residence, he went to find Professor Luo. When his car fell off the cliff, he was not in the car. Where was he then, was he at Professor Lomono's house? I only heard Wang Yan say: "I have to try again." Yan Fen said in a terrified voice: "Don't go, don't go, last night, when you went to the city to make a phone call, I kept shaking until you came back! I really dare not think, What if people find out about us." Wang Yan smiled wryly and said, "Up until now, at least three people have known our secret, one is Wesley, and the other two are Professor Luo and that strange rock-like man named Braque." Yan Fen sighed, and said, "I don't know if these three people will spread the news about us?" Wang Yandao: "I don't think so." I eavesdropped on this, and the horror in my heart has reached the peak that I can bear. If there is another accident, I will definitely scream because I can't bear it. It turns out that Wang Yan and Braque have also met each other! The place where they met Braque was of course Lomono's residence, so there was indeed a relationship between Lomono and Braque, but I couldn't find any evidence when I went there. It can be deduced from this that Professor Luo's sudden trip to Egypt must not be accidental! Yan Fen said again: "If we are sure that we can become invisible people, then we might as well take a risk, but now, we can only live here." Yan Fen continued: "The food you brought back last night is enough for us to eat for a month, and we are here, no one will find out." Wang Yan sighed, and said, "It seems like this is the only way to go." They fell silent at this point. I waited for a while, but I couldn't hear them talking again, so I backed away quietly. When I backed away, I had already made a decision, and my decision was that I would never disturb them.Anyway, they have enough food, and they won't go to other places within a month. In order to ensure that they don't leave, I will do a little damage to Wang Yan's yacht before leaving, so that it can't go anywhere. drive. And during this month, I will try my best to help them, I will make the ins and outs of the matter clearer, I need to know the reason why Professor Luo went to Egypt and so on. If a month's hard work can't change their current situation, then it's not too late for me to meet them again and discuss countermeasures. I retreated to the beach and broke two wires on the motor of Wang Yan's yacht. I believe that Wang Yan absolutely did not know where his yacht was damaged so that it could not run.
