Indescribable cyberpunk

"TKM-23053, found!"

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after driving around all afternoon, Zhu Jue and his group finally saw the car parked on the roadside. Chu Yun turned on her phone and compared it with the vehicle in the photo and confirmed that it was the car the missing person was riding in. car.

"Hi~ Sitting in the car for several hours is really killing me, my legs are going numb."

Zhu Jue put his legs down from the back of the seat in front of him, put on his shoes, walked outside and stamped his feet on the ground to get rid of the electric numbness.

"This is a good time."

I took another bottle of drink from the refrigerator and sipped it slowly with a straw. My eyes paused for a moment on the old telephone pole beside the road. There was a gray-skinned lizard the size of a finger climbing up the pole.

In the afternoon in the Tacoma Desert, the sun still retains its residual heat, and its light still envelopes the entire desert. However, the temperature has dropped a lot unconsciously. Although it is still hotter than inside the car, it is within an acceptable range. It's easy to get used to it after being outside for a while.

The group of people approached the target and looked in through the rear window of the car. There was no one inside.

Let the wind chime go and have fun nearby. After holding it in the car for a few hours, it let the restless nature rush out as soon as the car door opened. Zhu Jue's eyes stayed on the west door of the car.

"Run quickly, leave here before night comes and don't touch those glowing monsters. What do you mean they will disappear?"

After reading the text in front of him in a low voice, a string of black fonts appeared under the door handle. The fonts were a little distorted and there were obvious pauses in several places. Zhu Jue's eyes fell on the clothes beside the car.

Shirt, tie, suit pants, leather shoes, black socks, and even a pair of underwear.

"The person who wrote this message has disappeared. I have looked around and there are no footprints."

Olivia picked up a marker pen from the ground and walked to Zhu Jue's side. It was obvious that someone deliberately left these words here, but there were no corpses or traces of humans around the car.

"Isn't the person right here, can't you see it?"

Grinning, Zhu Jue looked at Olivia with a strange expression.

The latter paused for a moment, then looked around again, confirming that there were no human beings in his field of vision except for a few of them. Then he looked back at Zhu Jue doubtfully and found that his expression did not mean to deceive him. Lenovo Olivia's face immediately turned pale when she saw the weird things happening here.

"I seem to be under some kind of mental attack. I can't see the person you're talking about."

Holding Zhu Jue's wrist to confirm his authenticity, Olivia said with some difficulty.

After staying in the Weird Studio for so long, Olivia also saw a lot of things that she had never been exposed to in the special operations team before, and even saw another dimension in Fang Doushan.

Based on these things, Olivia naturally trusted Zhu Jue's ability, so when she realized that what she saw was different from Zhu Jue's, she subconsciously thought that she should have suffered some kind of attack that she had not yet seen. Psychic attacks that can be detected.

"Well, actually I didn't see it, it's just an inference."

Zhu Jue turned around and sat down next to the pile of clothes on the ground, and then explained helplessly,

"Look at the location of these clothes. Did you find anything?"

At this time, Zhu Jue's posture was with his back against the vehicle and his legs deliberately straightened.

"These things are positioned exactly where a person would normally be dressed."

"That's right. Wu Tong, He Ye, check whether there are suitcases for clothes in the car and on the roof. Chu Yun, go to the surrounding desert and see if there are any footprints or anything like that on the ground."

He stood up again, wiped the dust off his butt, and said to the other three people.

It was probably the first time that Wu Tong and Li Qinglian participated in something similar to an investigation. The former climbed onto the roof of the car to check the boxes, while the latter looked inside the car. The two were very interested.

The result was as expected. There was no suitcase containing clothes, only some products from the company where the missing person belonged. The two people riding in the car were ordinary salesmen.

"I don't think anyone would run around naked in a place like this, and even if you want to let yourself go, your clothes shouldn't be arranged like this. No matter how troublesome it is, you will at least throw them into the car, so I think this should be It was a result beyond the control of the person involved, and combined with the writing on the car door, 'disappeared', the only explanation should be that he disappeared physically."

Zhu Jue's analysis quickly caused Wu Tong and others to fall silent. The former did not stop his analysis and continued,

"Look at the previous sentence again, leave here before night falls, which means that the special situation he encountered will only appear at night. The so-called luminous object may be the kind of magical life we ​​saw in the video, and Maybe they are other existences, but one thing is for sure, you can’t touch them.”

"Zhujue! Come here!"

Chu Yun's shouts came from not far away. Several people ran over and found that there were also some clothes scattered in the grass nearby. However, compared with those beside the car, the ones found here were obviously discarded casually. Clothing.

"This makes sense. There are two missing people. One left a message beside the car, and the other is here. These clothes are scattered far apart from each other. They should have been taken off while running. , the clothes are in good condition, there are no signs of damage, socks and leather shoes have been taken off, it is probably a spontaneous behavior, is there really someone running around naked?"

What Zhu Jue could imagine was a scene in which an adult male suddenly felt the call of nature on a bright moonlit night, freed himself from moral constraints, transcended himself, and released his primitive wildness.

To put it simply, the wind is refreshing!

Unfortunately, after the fun was over, no one was there.

This is really gone!

"Then what should we do? There is danger here. Do you want to leave quickly? It's only half past four. It's estimated that it will take another hour and a half before night falls. There's still time!"

Whether it was streaking or the disappearance of the body, Wu Tong was obviously not prepared to experience it and immediately expressed his intention to leave here.

"Um"

Touching his chin, Zhu Jue did not answer.

Frankly speaking, Zhu Jue actually didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay and see what caused this situation. The special scene he saw in the hotel before always made him feel that this desert was not simple, but he had to Considering the safety of Wu Tong and the others, after all, it was Takma who brought them here, so he naturally had the responsibility to protect them.

"We want to leave here, but we don't have to go too far. Although this road is currently in a deserted state, there is a highway two kilometers away. If the area where the special phenomenon occurs is vast, there is no reason why it has not been discovered until now, so He said that I can conclude that the area where the problem occurred is not very large. Look at the hill over there. We can go up from the side. There are telescopes on the car. We can observe from a distance. This not only ensures safety, but also If you miss what is happening here, if the danger really spreads, you will have enough time to escape from that location."

Chu Yun seemed to be aware of Zhu Jue's hesitation, so she took the initiative to stand up and pointed to the hill in the distance about seven or eight meters high.

"This is a good method. I agree. There are several telescopes in the trunk. If we just go back like this, our trip will be in vain."

"I bought a lot of corn and sausages, which I planned to eat as a late-night snack during the night. We can make a bonfire there and wait."

Wu Tong and Li Qinglian expressed their opinions one after another. Zhu Jue naturally did not refute and nodded in agreement.

Olivia had already gone to start the off-road vehicle at this time.

Staying away from the road and traveling through the desert, the vehicle drove up from the gentler part of the hill and came to a stop.

The most indispensable thing in the desert is dead grass and branches. Zhu Jue even kicked off a completely dead tree and immediately got a large amount of dry firewood.

By the time all this was done, the sun had already set in the west, and the pale red sunlight retracted from one end of the horizon. Over the Gobi, hills, trees, and the large and small rocks scattered in the desert, a very beautiful indigo color gradually appeared on the horizon. , there are stars all over the sky looming in it.

While there was still some time, the group sat around on the blankets spread out by the campfire and listened to Chu Yun and Olivia talk about the sources of mental pollution.

"The world is in some kind of huge crisis. That's what my instructor said in my first class on the sources of spiritual pollution."

The firewood in the bonfire was burning and beeping. Chu Yun took a sip of cold soda and talked.
