Having been in the altar for a long time, these people are used to doing things quickly in reality, because their free time is extremely limited.

So under Zhong Yirou's suggestion, they moved without hesitation.

"There are still a lot of addresses on the list, so let's divide them into three groups."

As soon as Zhong Yirou finished speaking, Wu You said directly, "I want to be with Brother Wu Jiu."

Zhong Yirou smiled and hugged his shoulders, "Brother, you follow the Daoist brother, you can see that he is very reliable, if you encounter any monsters along the way, you are the most important among us. It's safe."

Wu You stared at Zhong Yirou with drooping eyes, her expression seemed to say "Do you really think I'm a child".

Shen Ti directly pulled An Wujiu to his side, "Me and Wujiu, Taoist priest and little ghost head, beauty and beauty are a group, it's perfect."

An Wujiu is very grateful, looking for his sister is not really important to them, but now they have to sacrifice their precious time to help him.

“Thank you.” An Wujiu whispered.

"Thank you for what?" Zhong Yirou brushed her curly hair, "You thank us, then we are all dragged and dragged for our lives until now, do we have to thank you every day? Don't think about it. So much, we are all friends."

Yeah.

An Wu Jiao responded in his heart.

He is very fortunate that he can now have such a group of companions who are born and die.

"Then let's go." Nan Shan said, "Let's start early, maybe we can find it all in one day."

An Wujiu suddenly thought of Noah, so he looked towards the bedroom, "Noah, let her rest at home, let's leave a message for her."

Everyone left the apartment, and An Wugui mentioned to Zhong Yirou that Noah coughed and vomited blood.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhong Yirou was a little surprised, "I should have shown her, why did she vomit blood."

“Let’s talk about it when we come back.” An Wujiu thought for a while, “She doesn’t seem to want us to know, maybe she has something to hide.”

It is not easy to find a girl whom I haven't seen for many years in such a large area. Even these locations are just a record made by the police a long time ago, and they are not completely time-sensitive. Maybe someone will move in the middle of it, and there is no contact information. This primitive way of looking for a needle is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

According to the addresses on the list, An Wujiu and Shen Ti went to look for one place after another, they first came to an underground second-hand market near the city center, where they mainly sold some cheap and cheap goods Prosthetics or second-hand equipment, the environment is very poor, the only light source in the dark basement is all kinds of billboards, like a closed trash can stuffed with all kinds of glow sticks.

As soon as they entered, their field of vision was filled with all kinds of vulgar advertisements. Zhang's man asked for directions.

"Oh." The man was wearing a strange exoskeleton, and he felt that the material would shatter when touched, he pointed to the corner not far away, "Turn over there, it is That's right, it's there, and then you just have to walk through ten more shops like mine, turn right, go to the next corner and turn left..."

Shen Ti's head hurts, "Why don't you take us there."

The man's tone changed at once, "Then I can't just help you like this, I'll take you there, what about my store..."

Shen Ti casually grabbed a piece of retail merchandise that he had put out, and he couldn't even see what it was, and said directly to him: "I'll let you lead the way for nothing," he pointed casually, " I bought them all."

The boss suddenly changed his face again, and enthusiastically packed all these boxes into a bag for him. After Shen Ti made the payment, he quickly came out and took the two to that house number.

On the road, An Wujiu asked him, "Is there always so few people here?"

The boss shook his head, under the extremely saturated cyan and red light, An Wujiu saw his right prosthetic eye, different from the brown on the left, it was blue.

"Don't look at so many closed doors now, in fact, it was very lively here before." The boss said to them, "You know, these things are in demand, there are too many poor people now It's just that there has been some trouble recently, so there are a lot fewer people."

An Wujiu asked again: "What's the trouble?"

They turned a corridor, and the boss asked him mysteriously: "Did you see the trouble in front of the municipal building today?"

Shen Ti smiled, "It's not a good habit to answer questions with questions."

The boss cleared his throat, "Okay, let me tell you the truth, I don't know if you have seen it, the people who made trouble today are like crazy, in fact, this is not the first time There have been several times in our second-hand market. Some people came to make trouble, and they made trouble in the city. Later, Tiaozi came over and arrested a few people and went back to question them. It seems that they didn't find out why. ."

"I didn't expect this to happen more and more later, I heard..." He lowered his voice, "It seems that those people have implanted prosthetics that will make people fall into evil, big and small. , there are all kinds of things, I'm worried when I hear it, for fear that I will also get sick." After speaking, he covered his eyes in fear.

“Then what?” An Wujiu asked, “The police are here again?”

"Yeah, then a large number of people were arrested. At first, they said that they would suspend business and rectify the whole market, but you know how much power they can have, and finally changed it to let all salesmen All second-hand prosthetics are closed, and they are not allowed to be sold. Fortunately, I will sell some gadgets, otherwise I will be implicated."

Shen Ti, who was silent, asked, "When was the first time that kind of thing happened?"

"You said someone went crazy?" The boss thought for a while, "It's been a long time, at least three or four months ago, we don't know if it's the first time here, there's no outside. Is there an accident with nanorobots? Who knows who comes first."

An Wujiu and Shen Ti looked at each other.

They met at the altar for only three months, and such a thing happened three months ago, maybe even earlier, they can't trace the origin to the first one.

An Wujiu always has an ominous premonition, from the dormant period to the small outbreak period, it is like a virus infection, but the infection path has become a prosthetic body, nanorobots, etc. can enter The scientific and technological products of the human body, these contaminated things are like parasites, and the implanted body cannot resist at all, even voluntarily.

The people at the altar are desperate for their own life and death, completely ignorant of the "infection" of the real world, they seem to be divided into two camps.

One group is the infected and controlled believers, and the other group is the sacrifices deep in the altar.

Such an illusion made An Wu Jiao feel cold all over.

"It's here, it's here." The boss said to the two, "You're lucky, the one you're looking for really hasn't closed."

The boss greeted him and planned to leave, An Wu Jiu nodded his thanks to him and turned to look at the shop.

The advertising lights and signs here are colorful and seem to be homemade, with some layers of gauze curtains, there is a kind of punk mystery. At first, they didn't see where the shopkeeper was, until An Wujiu noticed a pair of feet, only to find that the man was lying on a reclining chair in the corner, covered by a black blanket from head to toe, only revealing a pair of feet wearing leather boots.

An Wujiu walked in, but he was too tall, and accidentally bumped into the wind chime made by the other party with various metal scraps and made a sound, An Wujiu immediately raised his hand to catch it, subconsciously looked back at Shen Ti .

Shen Ti smiled, "It's too low, I can't even get in."

Take care of your clothes.

Her hair was dyed purple, and her lip and nose studs gleamed in the dim light.

An Wujiu carefully observed her appearance and found that she was the one they were looking for, but indeed, he did not resemble his sister.

"Do you two handsome guys need anything?" She stretched her arms and held her hands crampedly, "I'm here...I don't know if there is anything you want."

An Wujiu made a long story short, "Excuse me, we are actually looking for someone. Excuse me, how many people are there in your family, do you have any siblings?"

This question was a bit strange, so the girl opposite was also stunned, "Well..."

She leaned over a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Aren't you the police?"

Shen Ti laughed, "Yes, he is the police flower."

An Wujiu turned his head, "Don't talk nonsense."

He turned his face and said to the girl: "I want to find someone who is very important to me, so I want to ask, you don't need to tell me too specific information, I just want to ask, no offence."

Maybe the handsome guy's face is too convincing, even if it is such a strange statement, the other party still accepts it.

"Okay." She said very frankly, "I have a younger sister and a younger brother at home, I am the eldest, my father died of too much medicine, and my mother..." She shrugged , "She drank heavily, beat me after drinking, and I ran away. I don't know where she is now, and I don't know if she is still alive."

An Wujiu was undeniably disappointed, but he also felt sorry for the family of the girl in front of him, feeling that he had opened up other people's scars, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Of course." The other party raised his chin proudly, "Don't you?"

"Yes, I'm not. I have processed it seventy-eight times. Can you see my eyes?" , like the pupils of some beast.

"It looks so good, can it be fake?"

"Yes, it's precious." Shen Ti smiled and said it as if it was true.

"I didn't expect it." The other party was a little surprised, "It's good to have money."

Shen Ti asked again, "Are you born here?"

"Yeah." She replied casually, "I've lived for several blocks since I was born, and it's like a mouse digging a hole, you know. But I haven't left in all these years. Pass through F City."

Shen Ti's neck was sore, so he leaned his head on An Wujiu's shoulder, looked at her, "I think you have a good memory."

"You're right, I remember very clearly about one or two years old."

After asking this inadvertent question, An Wu Jiu's heart basically has a bottom line, the other party was born in this city, has no brother, is the biggest one in the family, has not undergone plastic surgery, and is in every way incompatible.

They didn't talk too much, An Wu Jiu was kind, and bought some things from her, and they left.

Coming out of the basement and returning to the ground, the cruel sunlight made him look like a deformed fish that lives in the deep sea all year round.

The first goal failed.

Similar to this situation, the two met six times a day.

They found a waitress in a Chinese restaurant, she had a broken leg and had never seen her biological parents since she was a child, which was very distressing; and a girl who eloped here for a lover, now She is a woman who lost money. The other party has a brother, but he can only drink and beat people, and he is still in prison.

In addition, there are homeless people, cleaners and bar singers without jobs.

Most of them live in poverty, embarrassment and hardship, and even cannot live well. After asking them one by one, An Wujiu's heart gradually turned cold. He thought that there was little hope, because if the others had a clue, they wouldn't have had any contact by now. Presumably they, like himself, have not found any suspects. .

An Wujiu actually had expectations, he knew that it would not be so easy to find his sister, he could find it as soon as he looked for it, but he still held on to a very small hope, expecting her to appear on this list middle.

When I came out of the last man's residence, it was late, and night fell from a noisy light pollution, and the city was once again bizarre, restored to that artificial vitality .

"Let's find a place to stay." Shen Ti took An Wu Jiao's hand and led him through the rain to the eaves.

They randomly found a restaurant to fill their stomachs, and they were going to continue their search for a while, but when they finished eating, it was already raining like a torrential rain outside the glass, and the rainwater was like a polluted river flowing through this glass plain .

The weather forecast was playing in the restaurant, and they knew it would rain all night.

“Don’t go.” An Wujiu looked at the rain outside the window and said to Shen Ti.

"Then go back?" Shen Ti asked.

An Wujiu turned his face, those dazzling lights fell on his face through the soft rain, making this face extremely beautiful and moving. There are disappointments and sadness in his eyes, but An Wujiu is a very strange person, the more painful he is, the better he looks.

"That's right." Shen Ti saw the two bags on the deck on his side, "Today we carried these two bags all the way, and we didn't have time to open them to see what to buy. something."

An Wujiu also remembered, he looked up.

Shen Ti said to him coquettishly, "Come and sit."

Looking at his expression, An Wujiu thinks that he should not be the only person in the world who eats his way, after all he is so good-looking.

An Wujiu sat over, Shen Ti handed him the things he bought from the girl, and put his pile of boxes on his lap.

An Wujiu lowered his head, opened the bag he brought from the girl, what was inside was actually some small handicrafts, it looked like a lot of effort, even though the materials may be recycled come.

“It’s pretty cute.” An Wujiu picked up a small electronic dog, turned to look at Shen Ti, “What did you buy?”

The second-hand market was too dark, the two of them were completely uncomfortable, they bought it without seeing anything.

The things in Shen Ti's bag were all wrapped in boxes, and it was not easy to see them directly, so he had to dismantle the things in the box one by one.

As soon as he opened the first one, his face was as green as his eyes.

“What is this?” An Wujiu leaned over to look at it, only to think that it was weird, it looked like…

Some kind of reproductive organs are very similar.

"What does he sell?" Shen Ti wanted to put the thing back, but he didn't want to accidentally press a button that he didn't know where it was. The cylinder in his hand It moved.

Shen Ti subconsciously cursed out, trying to find the switch of this thing, An Wujiu was stunned for a while, and immediately followed after the reaction, the two were in a hurry. A male waiter passed by, his eyes widened a bit, and the dining plate blocked the two of them.

It took a lot of effort to make this thing stop, An Wujiu was sweating on his forehead, he caught a glimpse of Shen Ti's ears, they were red and very cute. So he stretched out his hand and touched his ear.

Shen Ti was startled and turned to look at him like an animal.

"It turned out to be selling this. No wonder his lamp is so strange." An Wujiu retracted his hand and asked Shen Ti, "Are you still watching?"

"Do you still need to see it?" Shen Ti put away the tool and put the bag aside, "I don't have this knowledge anymore, and I don't need it."

An Wujiu, who had not laughed all day, laughed at this time, and the more he laughed, the happier he became.

Shen Ti, holding his chin, glanced at him, thinking that this is good, I didn't expect to coax him so easily.

“Let’s not go back tonight.” An Wujiu laughed enough, pointed his index finger to the ceiling, “There seems to be a hotel upstairs, I saw a billboard when I came in ."

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, beat a drum in his heart, and only said a word for a long time.

"You don't really want to use these..."

An Wujiu smiled, "I don't have this hobby."

He reached out and grabbed Shen Ti's dangling earrings, "I just want to hug you, lie down and kiss you, and sleep in your arms."
