Quadruple split

[Don't talk, or I'll tear your mouth apart when I get back. 】

Mo Tan first replied through the telepathy between the two people (dragon/turtle), and then greeted the two new faces in front of him with a normal expression, and briefly introduced himself and Wang Badan. There was nothing unusual about going up.

but!

It's just that there is nothing strange on the surface. In fact, Mo Tan's heart has already stirred up huge waves. The reason is none other than the girl named Pomegranate who said at the beginning, "My name is Pomegranate, and I am a marginalized person." Hello'.

Although Shiliu later changed her name and called herself a future person under Qiuyue's accusation, the previous sentence seemed to be more than just a slip of the tongue, although the girl leader opposite seemed to really think that sentence was a slip of the tongue...

But Mo Tan knew that, to be precise, he had indeed heard of the concept of 'marginal people'.

Time, three years ago, location, a small shop in a small commodity market in City B [Strange and Weird]

Mo Tan clearly remembered that when he walked into Weirdness and was about to go brag about the Rice brothers, he did not see the two of them immediately. In less than two seconds, he heard a faint sound from upstairs. There was a saying, 'Those fringe people have become more and more down-to-earth recently. The guy who was exorcising demons in the old power plant yesterday actually used our store directly...'

The next moment, Ferry Rice's voice stopped suddenly, and then he walked downstairs with Joe Rice, who was holding a large box of unknown items. Both of them stared unblinkingly. Inked sandalwood.

"Hey, I was just about to call you two."

Mo Tan yawned and put down the mobile phone held by his ear, looking at the two brothers in front of him with a mean smile: "If no one is left down here, you are really not afraid of attracting thieves, are you? Tsk tsk, don't say anything. Hurry up and give me something good to teach yourself a lesson, so that you don’t have to have the downstairs emptied next time you two are having sex upstairs.”

Fei Li was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and grabbed a handful of candies from the box in Qiao's arms and threw them to Mo Tan: "That makes sense."

"Again, you're skipping school? Are you too stingy?"

Mo Tan curled his lips, put the [Standard Skip Candy] in his hand, which he had secretly tested countless times, into his pocket, and sat on the chair in front of the magic supplies cabinet with an unhappy look on his face.

Qiao, who walked downstairs with Fei Li, threw the box into the corner, turned to Mo Tan, gently shook his index finger, and said with a smile: "The fact that we are willing to cooperate with your unreasonable blackmail is enough to prove that we Both of them are really generous.”

"By the way, man."

Fei Li lazily leaned against the cabinet next to Mo Tan, raised his eyebrows and said, "We are not orthopedic, let alone gay, and we even like different types of girls."

Needless to say, Mo Tan, who knew that he was in a state of 'chaotic neutrality' at that time, grinned and said with a smile: "But I think that the girl who will fall in love with you, regardless of appearance or personality, will most likely be the same. Get on the other one.”

"Haha, although we are indeed very similar from various angles..."

Ferry shook his head exaggeratedly and shrugged: "But in the final analysis, Joe is still Joe, and I am still me. If you can't tell the difference, you can't say you love us."

"Mom is an exception. I believe she loves us, but she is a little careless."

Qiao made a face, then glanced at Mo Tan casually, and asked casually: "By the way, you didn't hear anything just now, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Tan's calm and calm expression suddenly changed, a drastic change!

"Hey...hey hey hey..."

He stood up suddenly and took a step back towards the door. His expression and voice were extremely stiff: "You two...were not really upstairs just now..."

"Trying out a new product upstairs, burp candy."

Ferry grinned and shrugged: "So you can put away that dangerous idea."

"Scared me..."

Mo Tan breathed a long sigh of relief and sat back with a curse.

For the next two hours, he chatted with the Rice brothers as usual, and in the process, he tricked out a few undeveloped burp candies that would make people burp crazily and fart continuously until the sun went down. I just said goodbye to the two of them, went to the vegetable market to help a few bosses to check their blood pressure, and then went home.

In the next three days, Mo Tan behaved very normally.

Until the fourth night, he carried three homemade flash bombs, two police stun batons, a Nepalese dog-leg knife, a bright flashlight and half a bottle of homemade halothane spray, and avoided the dangers along the way with great professionalism. It took most of the surveillance cameras a full five and a half hours to finally penetrate the only old power plant in City B.

"I heard something interesting..."

Mo Tan, who walked through the coal yard and around the chimney, quietly walked into the boiler room, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he looked around harmlessly with a flashlight.

He was wearing a very loose casual windbreaker, and the guys he brought were all hidden in the inner lining that had undergone several magical modifications. They looked harmless and did not look like a nefarious person who came here with a purpose.

This is actually quite logical. After all, this power plant that was abandoned half a year ago is not a military center. Although almost no one comes here to visit for free, it is indeed not a place where idlers are not allowed to enter. Anyway, those Valuable things had already been taken away when they were abandoned, including boilers, circulation pumps, burners, steam turbines, etc., so there was no fear of attracting thieves.

To sum up, in fact, even if Mo Tan just calls a taxi and has someone take him here, and he holds a camera while singing rap and playing adventure, no one will theoretically care about him.

However, he still managed to operate as covertly as possible. Not only that, he even "armed" himself to a certain extent, which was rare, which felt very overkill.

But Mo Tan himself didn't think so. In fact, if he wasn't worried that some 'possible traces' would be erased in a short period of time, he would definitely come back with more comprehensive preparations.

From the beginning, what he was worried about was not the 'trouble' in the conventional sense, but the 'truth that might be hidden under the convention'.

This world is not simple. Mo Tan had already noticed this through various details before he met the Rice brothers. Although he only grasped some "traces" that were not even clues, he never ignored it. Mo Tan, at least under his current personality, has never ignored the 'abnormalities' that occur around him in his 'daily life'. Although it is probably just a kind of obscenity that is close to a daydream, he is still eager to uncover those things that are hidden in his mind. The truth behind the 'traces' you noticed.

Whether the answer is something boring that proves that he is just guessing at Xia Jiba, or an unknown danger that may cause him to get angry, he doesn't care, because for the current personality of 'Mo Tan', the pursuit of the answer itself It's extremely interesting, and as for the result, it's probably just a tack.

The Rice brothers are not simple, and may even be a member of that 'unknown world'. Mo Tan has made similar speculations for a long time, but has never obtained conclusive evidence.

Until a few days ago…

"The guy who slew demons in the old power plant~"

Mo Tan repeated in a low voice what Ferry Rice said on the second floor of [Weird and Weird] that day, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's called 'marginal people', right... ha... so what is the purpose of slaying demons?" What do you mean? Nothing interesting seems to have happened in this old power plant recently, such as gas explosions. Could it be that the move called 'elimination of demons' won't cause too much trouble? ?”

Finding nothing in the first half hour did not make Mo Tan feel impatient at all. He walked leisurely in the empty boiler room, and was not affected by the eerie and weird environment around him, because all the waste in the world The boiler room basically behaved like this in the middle of the night, so naturally he didn't feel scared at all.

Of course, with a 'chaotic neutral' personality, even if this place is really haunted, and then something like a slit girl suddenly pops up and bites him, I guess this guy will bite back happily, but he won't be able to bite him. Being able to bite off it is another matter.

"Um?"

At this moment, Mo Tan's eyes suddenly widened, and he swung the flashlight and shone it steadily on a concrete pillar that didn't look like anything special at first glance.

An excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but Mo Tan walked over quickly, then turned off the flashlight with a snap, and just stared at the pillar in front of him in the darkness, with only its outline clearly visible. ...The two carvings on the side, no more than two centimeters long and one centimeter wide, are emitting dots of blue light.

"It's interesting, it's interesting!"

Mo Tan muttered twice, and the extremely excited expression on his face instantly disappeared as if it had never existed. Then he stuffed the flashlight into his pocket and scanned quickly with his eyes that had gradually adapted to seeing in the dark. Looking around, he reached for the Nepali dog-leg knife hidden inside the windbreaker.

Then……

"Be careful, young man!"

The light of the flashlight bloomed in the darkness, and a short middle-aged man wearing a security uniform suddenly rushed out from behind Mo Tan and pushed him to the ground.

Mo Tan, who was pushed down unprepared, immediately changed his expression, and then without any trace, he removed his hand that was reaching for the inside of the windbreaker, and looked up at the uncle wearing a security uniform with a flashlight on and a blank look on his face: "Huh? "

"Ah what, look how dangerous this is!"

The uncle bent down and pulled Mo Tan up, then shined his flashlight on the pillar that the latter had just observed, and hummed in a bad tone: "Look what this is!"

Mo Tan scratched his hair and took a closer look with the light from his uncle's flashlight. He found that two exposed wires outside the pillar were constantly emitting tiny sparks of electricity.

"You know how many volts this thing has! If I had been one step slower just now, you would have been dead!"

The uncle patted his beer belly with lingering fear, turned around and asked Mo Tan in shock: "By the way, little brother, who are you? Why don't you come to this place without sleeping to test your courage?"

Mo Tan smiled coquettishly, and whispered awkwardly: "I have an urgent need to urinate, I thought there was no one here..."

"Oh, I almost died from a splash of urine."

The middle-aged man laughed dryly and patted Mo Tan on the shoulder: "Okay, go out quickly. There is a raw water pond on the right turn when you go out. It was drained some time ago. If you can't hold it in, go over there and deal with it. , no one is looking at you now that you are doing nothing."

Mo Tan quickly thanked him, and then rushed towards the door with a frightened and steady expression. He waited until half of his body was out of the boiler room before turning back and shouting: "Thank you!"

"Go quickly, go quickly, don't hold it back anymore."

The uncle waved his hand dumbfounded.

"Uncle, are you the security guard here? Isn't this power plant abandoned?"

Mo Tan continued to ask while covering his crotch.

"I'm the security guard in the neighborhood next door."

The uncle shrugged and said with a smile: "I came here to borrow the toilet."

"Hey, I'm a fellow-traveler. Uncle, you can borrow it first, and I'll borrow it from outside."

Mo Tan chuckled, then happily went out and turned right, and soon found the original pond that the uncle mentioned just now. After peeing, he ran to the intersection diagonally across the street and took a taxi home.

It wasn't until he entered the house that Mo Tan's expression suddenly darkened. He didn't even change his shoes. As soon as he entered the house, he rushed into the bathroom and stuck out his tongue at himself in the mirror...

Of course, this is not to be cute, because in the mirror, there is a very clear small gap near the tip of Mo Tan's tongue. Although it stopped bleeding more than an hour ago, it can still be clearly seen that it was just bitten. New injury not long after coming out.

That’s right, it’s a bite!

Mo Tan bit it himself, and he had no memory of the process at all!

"There's something wrong with my memory..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned on the washstand and looked at himself in the mirror steadily, and whispered: "The wound in the mouth is a reminder, a reminder I left for myself."

Mo Tan let out a breath, turned back to the living room and sat down on the sofa. The corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc, and then he raised his head and glanced at the electronic perpetual calendar above the TV.

The time shown above is AM05:15...

"Based on my average heart rate of about 1.7 beats per second, based on current standard time..."

Mo Tan removed his right hand from his left wrist and murmured in a low voice: "It should have been about one hundred and eighty-seven seconds."

[You casually erased my three minutes of memory? Ha, this world is so exciting that it makes me want to scream...]

He stared at his electronic perpetual calendar, which had no error of even one second, and trembled with excitement.

However, in the next moment, Mo Tan suddenly became excited, and the slightly evil smile disappeared immediately, and then started to tremble again.

This time it was scary!

Mo Tan, who suddenly switched to an 'absolutely neutral' personality, became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and felt his blood pressure rising slowly.

And then……

A total of one hundred and ninety-one seconds of erased memories suddenly poured out from the depths of his mind!
