Chapter 683 Composition
This should be the second most unforgettable night in Bai Qing's life, second only to the nightmare not long ago.
When the only noise left in the earhook was the chattering noise, the panic in Bai Qing's heart reached its peak. Although she repeatedly told herself to calm down, bad thoughts kept coming to her mind.
What happened in Workshop No. 3?
Did Zhang Heng encounter any danger?
Has he been discovered? Got caught by those things? Will they kill him?
Bai Qing wanted to rush into the glass factory immediately, but her rationality told her that staying in the car as Zhang Heng told her was the best choice.
Even Bai Qing himself didn't know how he survived these six minutes.
Every second was a torment for her. It wasn't until the chatter in her earphones disappeared, the connection between the two was connected again, and the familiar voice came from the other end again that Bai Qing felt relieved.
"I'm coming out," Zhang Heng said, "There was no signal down there just now."
"It's fine. Did you find anything there?" Bai Qing asked curiously after calming down.
"I roughly figured out how those things replaced the people around them and blended into human society, including their reproduction and parasitism methods," Zhang Heng paused and said, "And I think those missing people may not have Hope is still alive.”
"Huh?" Bai Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, "Are you saying it's very possible that my mother is still alive?"
"Yes," Zhang Heng said, "They cannot directly inherit the target's memory. From this point of view, a living target, or at least a living target in the early stage, is more useful to them. They can obtain more from the target. A lot of information, including the target's interpersonal relationships, living habits, etc., but your mother's situation is special. The thing pretending to be your mother chose to kill itself in order to send your father to prison. It no longer needs to pretend to be your mother. So I don’t know how they will solve your mother’s problem in the future, but I don’t rule out the possibility that they will decide to keep your mother as a research subject.”
"Then do you know where my mother is now?" Bai Qing asked.
"I'm about to take a look." Zhang Heng said, "If someone is being detained, there should be signs."
…………
Having said that, Zhang Heng waited in Warehouse No. 3 for almost another fifty minutes until the civet cat caught by the vines on the door turned back into Lego bricks.
Similar to what Zhang Heng had observed before, the vines were obviously not interested in things like plastic and metal, and they quickly untied themselves.
Zhang Heng put the blocks that fell on the ground back into his schoolbag, then looked at the underground door, and returned to Workshop No. 3 with his backpack on his back.
It felt good to see the light of day again, especially after getting rid of the drowsy smell. Because it was estimated that the camera outside the gate had been reset, Zhang Heng did not choose the previous route to leave, but opened the window, which was difficult to see from the outside. Come in, but the inside can be opened easily, and then the window lock can be reset with a piece of string.
It was half an hour later that Zhang Heng returned to the car.
Bai Qing had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Zhang Heng opened the door and got into the driver's seat. He took a few sips of water before saying, "I have good news and bad news."
Before Bai Qing could ask, he continued, "The good news is that I did find evidence that someone was imprisoned in the room on the first floor, but the bad news is that there is no one there now. It should be the person before me." The investigation was done to alert the enemy. Those people were afraid that I would find out what happened under Warehouse No. 3, so they moved the replaced person to a different place and imprisoned him."
"Where are they now?" Bai Qing asked. Her mother's whereabouts were always her biggest concern.
"It's not clear yet." Zhang Heng said, "They moved very carefully and quickly this time. Some people didn't even pack up their things, but don't worry, I will find them, but before that we have to deal with the thing underground first. , Otherwise, people will continue to disappear, and even if we find them, there is no guarantee that they will not be replaced again."
Bai Qing also received photos and videos from Zhang Heng before.
Because of the tiny ash floating in the air, the photos and videos looked a little blurry, but it didn't affect Bai Qing's ability to see the things underground, as well as the terrifying cicada pupae on the branches.
If Bai Qing hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a strange creature in the world. It obviously looked like a plant, but it seemed to have some animal characteristics, especially the beating heart in the middle, which made a thumping sound. The thumping sound made people feel chilly in their hearts.
"Now that we have the evidence, how about we give it to the police and let them deal with that thing underground."
"I'm afraid this is not realistic," Zhang Heng said. "What should we say if we call the police? There is a monster underground in the glass factory. Should we request the police to call out immediately?"
“Isn’t it enough to have videos and photos?”
"A few blurry photos can't explain anything," Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "No one will believe what we say, and we don't know if those things exist in the police system. We handed in the photos and exposed them first. The risk is too great, and maybe they have received the news and have made preparations in advance. When the police arrive in Workshop 3 and find nothing, how are you going to answer the fire in the cardboard factory?"
Bai Qing looked a little discouraged when he heard this, "What should we do? You said that ordinary physical attacks have no effect on it. We can't really steal an intercontinental missile, can we?"
"There should be other ways." Zhang Heng said, "Given the defense and survivability of the things underground, why were they so nervous about those three children and did not hesitate to kill them? You know, even if your father and a college student are like this "The adults are completely under their control. Even if we tell others what we saw now, no one will believe it, let alone the three children."
"Do you think they have something on them that can deal with the creatures underground?"
"Yes, but it's already very late tonight. Let's rest first." Zhang Heng said, and then he drove Bai Qing back to the hotel. However, he did not go home immediately after that, but took out his mobile phone again.
In addition to the things taken underground, Zhang Heng also had two new photos on his phone.
——That is a primary school student's composition, written by Lin Sisi.
That is the girl among the three drowning children. Zhang Heng had been to her school before and learned about the existence of this weekly diary from her class teacher. However, Zhang Heng had not seen the full version until now. Apparently, the person in the glass factory Those things are also studying this composition.
