Indescribable cyberpunk

The rain outside the window has not stopped, and water droplets are hanging on the glass, drawing twisted tracks of different lengths.

The virtual clock on the glass inside the window is beating, one second after another, and occasionally on the hour, there will be a flash of light and a slight ticking sound.

On the refrigerator in the living room, the claws of the wind chime have just opened the upper door, and the pale yellow light illuminates the wash basin behind it. The remaining water droplets on the wall of the sink scatter a slight light under the reflection.

It swung its tail behind it, made an arc in the air, reached into the refrigerator, pulled out a bottle of milk without a label, unscrewed it with its paws, and poured it into the plate on the low table in front of the sofa. A cat slowly enjoyed itself. late night snack.

The darkness contained the wind chime, and the latter obviously liked this atmosphere very much. His golden eyes looked around, and finally landed on Zhu Jue, who was tilted at 75° in the middle of the bed and twisted in all directions.

The wind chime tilted its head and stared for a while. It stopped licking the milk and made a purring sound. It found that today was different from the past. It was a bit like the night a few days ago. Zhujue was sleeping with his eyes closed, but there was always something about him. It was surrounded by an aura that made it feel uncomfortable.

Ouch~

He walked closer to the bed, put his two paws on the edge, put his head in front of Zhu Jue, and arched his head slightly.

There was no response, he must have been completely asleep.

"The sea. Why is it the sea? Crab, strange crab. What does this mean?"

On the bed, Zhu Juemeng muttered something that Feng Chie could not understand. He was not a person who liked to talk in his sleep. At least Feng Chie rarely heard Zhu Jue talk while sleeping.

But tonight he said it.

Then an indescribable atmosphere descended on the room.

The wind chime jumped on the bed and hid on the inside of the wall. It lay in the crook of Zhu Jue's left arm and poked its head out, looking for the source of this atmosphere.

Its gaze moved from the door to the workroom, then from the workroom to the sofa, and finally landed on the window next to the bed. The rainwater that was originally flowing from top to bottom outside the window began to deflect for some reason at this moment, no longer flowing. It falls according to the normal laws of nature, but it seems to be random, but in fact it starts to be arranged according to a certain special law.

Feng Ling witnessed the whole scene and kept raising his head to Zhu Sue, but the latter never woke up.

The night was about to pass away, and at dawn the next morning, Zhu Jue was woken up by the fluffy meat ball that kept shaking on his face.

"Wind chime, what's wrong?"

Zhu Jue picked it up with both hands on the armpits of the wind chime. Zhu Jue looked at it with some doubts as it was a little restless. In the past, it was lazier than him in the morning, but today it was a little abnormal.

Ouch~ow~

He kept shouting, and the wind chime broke away from Zhu Jue's hand, jumped up on the window frame next to it, and kept beating the window with its front paws. It had been trying to wake Zhu Jue up since it saw the strange phenomenon on the window last night. , I want him to see that scene too.

However, when Zhu Jue woke up and looked over, all he saw was glass covered with water drops, nothing else.

"You mean what happened here?"

Zhu Jue naturally trusted the wind chime very much. Its abnormality made him quickly break away from the sleepiness when he just woke up. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the rain lines on the glass carefully.

But even after staring at the shit out of his eyes, he still didn't find anything special. He could only turn around and rub Feng Chime's forehead, and asked softly: "Did you show up last night when I was sleeping?"

Ouch~

Wind Chime nodded.

"Disappeared later?"

Ouch~

Nod again.

"I understand, thank you, go wash up first."

Zhu Jue smiled and picked up the wind chime and took it to wash his face.

Standing in front of the sink, Zhu Jue held an electric toothbrush in his hand. He leaned forward and leaned against the sink. Amidst the buzzing sound of the toothbrush, he thought about what happened last night.

The Book of Dekian once again affected his dreams.

It's just that this time is completely different from the last time. Last time in the dream, Zhu Jue met the "mentor" and learned a spell under his guidance. Although the effect was average, it was still a solid skill, but Zhu Jue didn't understand the meaning of last night's dream at all.

At first, he appeared on the coast. In front of him was the endless deep blue sea. This kind of image should be very common in ordinary people's dreams, so Zhu Jue didn't pay much attention to it at first, just treating it as an ordinary dream. However, there was no such thing. After a while, he discovered that countless crabs began to appear among the rocks on the shore under his feet.

They cover the entire beach, pile up together, and gradually form some indescribable shape.

That's all. Zhu Jue, who has been mentally affected recently, is used to having hallucinations. This statement may sound a bit weird, but Zhu Jue has actually been accustomed to being in this kind of environment five years ago.

The mental confusion after each mutation would make him miserable, but his mental will at that time was already 99% turbid, close to the extreme. No matter how bad it was, it couldn't get much worse.

What really made him realize that this dream was not simple was the starry sky after the sea and the crabs disappeared together. There, someone came through the starry sky, just stopping in the void, half raising his head, as if thinking about something, and then He felt that his whole spirit was shaken.

It's not a chaotic and crazy vibration, but a strange hazy feeling. This feeling is probably like a window with light. Zhu Jue can see the shadows inside, but he wants to know what is going on inside. It can't be done.

The dream ended abruptly.

"What a headache!"

After rinsing his mouth, Zhu Jue scratched the back of his head and sat down on the sofa in the living room again. The content of last night's dream in his mind was already blurry. He could only use paper and pen to jot down some content. His intuition told him about the sea and crabs. It must represent something, but for a while I couldn't find any relevant content in my memory.

With full of doubts, Zhu Jue did not stay at home for long, but went out to the Archaeological Association, because Olivia's messages had not stopped since just now.

Zhu Jue walked into Olivia's office and glanced at the new desks around him. There was still nothing on them.

These are the positions of the team members led by Olivia.

"Is it because you are calling me here in such a hurry because there is something new in Hesai Town?"

After finding a nearby place to put breakfast on, Zhu Jue pulled out his chair and looked at Olivia, who looked solemn next to him, and asked.

"It's something else. When we went to Hesse Town, didn't I tell you that all the people in my team were sent to support a large-scale mission of the Archaeological Association? According to the latest news within the association, something happened during the mission. A major incident occurred, and the team performing the mission suffered heavy casualties!"

Olivia only found out about the situation after arriving at the office this morning, and immediately contacted Zhu Jue.

"When has the field mission of the Archaeological Association ever been safe? If it weren't for me in Hesse Town, you and your people would probably have encountered a 'major incident'. What happened?"

"It is said that the underground ruins suddenly collapsed, directly pinning an entire archaeological team, nearly 50 people, underground. So far, no response has been received."

"Archaeology team? No wonder."

When the archaeological team was mentioned, Zhu Jue's face became a little surprised.

Without exception, the field tasks within the Archaeological Association are related to indescribable objects. Under this premise, the replacement of new and old in this department cannot be too fast.

To put it bluntly, casualties in this department are unavoidable. The Archaeological Association has obviously foreseen this, otherwise it would not have increased the welfare benefits of the Field Service Department to an exaggerated level, and as long as it can survive multiple missions, Promotions are also very fast, and the Archaeological Association is simply trying to make up for the field department in this way.

However, the archaeological team had a completely different story.

The archaeological team is different from the field team. The former is responsible for more highly professional ruin exploration, which undoubtedly means that the people who need to carry out this part of the work are professionals.

There must be real core personnel of the Archaeological Association inside, including archaeologists who have conducted detailed research on indescribable objects and the accompanying elites from various departments. The 50 people in this team are no joke. Such a number of casualties is not enough for the archaeologists. This is unacceptable to the association.

"With today's technology, and the professional teams sent there, this kind of underground work has been carefully calculated in advance. If an accident occurs now, there must be some kind of accident."

"So, you brought me here because you wanted me to save people, right?"

Zhu Jue frowned and asked bluntly.

"To be precise, you are going with me. The Shuguang City Archaeological Association has decided to dispatch a rescue team, because all the subordinates who were supposed to report to me before are providing support locally. As the team leader, I naturally have to go and lead They, my gut told me that this time it was not going to be simple.”

Olivia did not deliberately hide anything. In her opinion, if Zhu Jue helped, the success rate of this support would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

"I can't leave Dawn City in the short term. I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this matter."

Regarding Olivia's request, Zhu Jue did not hide his embarrassment. At other times, he might have nodded, but the recent surveillance of the gentleman was at a critical stage, and he planned to deal with this matter before entering the dreamland next time. Oh, if he follows Olivia and leaves Dawn City at this time, let alone whether he can save anyone by running over now, if something happens to the gentleman when he leaves, will he come back by then or not?

Besides, I don’t know how long this rescue mission will last, and the situation at the scene is not yet clear. Zhu Jue is not an employee of the Archaeological Association, and there is no one he cares about in the archaeological team, not to mention that Zhu Jue has never considered himself to be anything. He didn't believe that an organization as large as the Archaeological Association said it didn't have enough rescuers.

"Okay then, I'll take the people there first. If I find anything new, I'll contact you later."

Olivia had no intention of forcing Zhu Jue to help. After all, she didn't know much about the local situation, and the favor Zhu Jue owed her before was very precious, and she didn't want to use it rashly.
