[APH Mega Bu Ying Lu Zhong] Fools' Carnival

14 day

"Name." "Matthew Williams."

"Age." "Nineteen."

"Ability." "Invisibility."

"Demonstrate it." "I can't do it, I can't control it."

"Okay, next."

Matthew followed the team forward. They were like livestock entering a slaughterhouse to be shaved. Men and women were divided into two rooms to take off all their clothes, including underwear, and put on uniform clothes arranged by others. Two pieces of blue and white plastic sheets were spliced ​​together. You can't hide anything on your body, it's not far from being naked, but the feeling of shame gradually fades away, forcing the brain to think that everything is normal and that men and women are beasts. In the eyes of "God", there is no need to be ashamed.Then he put on a silver bracelet that couldn't be taken off. The style was exactly the same as the detector when he was young and went to school, except that the black number "CX-0513" was printed on it. From now on he is not Matthew Williams but This series of numbers with unknown meaning is really ridiculous.

The temperature inside was just right, the floor was a bit icy, everyone was walking barefoot - Matthew meant they didn't have shoes, people who were "different" from them had them - the aisles were white and full of Dazzling mercury lamps, people in white isolation suits kept them moving until they reached another room with many chairs and hair all over the floor. Women with long hair were pulled to cut their hair, and even Matthew's hair was cut. They were cropped even shorter, and the sideburns were ragged, so the back of his head must have been messed up.There was a woman who cried in fear when her hair was shaved. She was probably a "newcomer" like Matthew. She trembled and begged in a low voice, saying that she didn't know anything and had never done anything bad. Could she be let go, but the haircut The teacher just grabbed her hair and cut it quickly.

Everyone remained silent, the dignified atmosphere almost overwhelmed them. After the haircut, the team continued to move forward, and Matthew saw a space like a prison. There was a long corridor in the open room, and the two sides were stacked from top to bottom. There are rooms one by one, but compared to the darkness of the prison, this place is too bright, lights are everywhere, each room is surrounded by glass, and the toilet is only blocked by a small screen, so pure light shines nowhere Hidden, no privacy at all.Matthew's numb heart was finally shaken, and an indescribable disgust occupied his mind, he needed a shadow, desperately.

The group of people let them into their respective glass houses without any explanation to them, locked the glass doors and ignored them.Most people fell asleep on the bed very skillfully, while the crying woman just now put her hands on the glass and looked around slowly, as if she couldn't understand everything in front of her. Unfortunately, the sound insulation effect of the wall is very good, and people can only see her desolate face, maybe not even at all.Matthew stood blankly in the middle of his room—not so much a room, but a transparent box with a small white mouse locked inside.

Matthew slowly sat down on the bed. There was a strange feeling in his chest, throbbing and dull pain. He took a big breath and pressed his hands on his chest but still felt suffocated. Soon his head began to throb. I was dizzy, my eyes were blurred, it was too painful, like being thrown into the depths of the sea suddenly with a stone tied to my body, and I was sinking helplessly... The light was too bright, I had to turn off the lights quickly, the ground was shaking, and the walls were shaking. going to fall...

"Alph...Steve..." He struggled silently and fell backwards, hitting something on the back of his head.He clutched his chest tightly, and after a while, an "angel" in white came to welcome him. Many warm hands lifted him up, some patted his back, some pressed the main artery in his neck, some Covering his mouth tightly, he could only breathe through his nose. The pain seemed to have lasted for a long time and ended in an instant, like the sea receding.When Matthew woke up, he was lying on the bed alone again, with water stains on the corner of his mouth, and a tingling sensation in his throat. Someone had fed him water.He got into bed, and there was a red button at the head of his bed, which was the thing he accidentally touched just now, and he later learned that this button was equivalent to the emergency button of the hospital.

The painful feeling is like the heat is gradually dissipating, only the slight tingling illusion remains in the body.This small transparent box has been Matthew's den since then. It doesn't even have a roof. I don't know how long this kind of place where even mice are not rare will stay.Matthew knelt down on the tiny bed and hid himself from head to toe with the quilt. He grabbed the white sheet desperately, wanting to stain it with black coffee, took a deep breath, and it was full of detergent. The sour smell in his throat, uncontrollable sore throat, big drops of tears fainted on the pillow cover.He also thought of the burning torture suffered by the witches, and the feeling of being locked in the toilet wet all over, and the tears were like eye drops that dripped into the eyes, overflowing naturally with excess.

The butterfly was caught and put into a transparent pet box.When the butterfly is dead, pierce its body with a pin and nail it to death in a beautiful picture frame.Just then, the lights in the box stack went out, and it was time for a break.

The van was still on its way, and Alfred was still sitting in the corner of the van, though many people got off and got on.Alfred began to do some adventurous things. Every day at noon when the "Penguin" came to distribute food, he tried to strike up a conversation with the group of thugs. At first, he just exchanged greetings such as "good afternoon" and "the weather is nice", and gradually The topic became intimate, asking about the other person's physical condition or asking them to distribute more food to sick children.Generally, "Penguins" would ignore him, and if they were really annoyed, they would just threaten him twice with a stick. They were just mercenaries running for money, not ruthless killers.

Forced by the situation, Alfred gradually became the center of the car world, not only because he was the only young and strong guy, but also because of his unyielding spirit, as if he dared to push back when the sky fell.It feels good to be admired by the stars, but the desperate attachment of women to Alfred is admirable. Xie Bumin, under tremendous pressure, the animal side is to follow the trend, bully the weak and fear the strong, he does not want hypocritical worship, that is not a "hero" at all "In contrast, children are much cuter, such as Waxiu.

By the way, Wa Xiu was still in the car just like him, worrying about what would happen to his sister every day.After getting acquainted with Washiu, he will naturally tell his life experience unknowingly. Alfred now knows that he was betrayed by ordinary parents when he was a child, and met the alien sister Erica in the ordinary laboratory. Later, they were sold back to the "Penguin People". Those masked villains specialize in this kind of dirty business, catching, transporting, and selling aliens everywhere. They are the channels connecting various laboratories. Inhuman experimental subjects in different laboratories may even circulate and recycle each other through them, almost treating living people as tradable goods.

Vaxiu analyzed to Alfred that the alien who entered the laboratory would stay for two years without any accidents. If he can find a way to get out of control and search around Sacramento within two years, it is still possible to find his brother. Yes, but this is tantamount to nonsense.Alfred shrugged that it wasn't certain, and asked what the "accident" was.

Waxiu's face became a little ugly: "It would be bad if your brother is a very strong ability user. Ordinary aliens will have blood tests and take medicine every day. Their heads become dizzy and their bodies feel very uncomfortable. But Those people... They are different from us, they are not with us, I don’t know what they do every day, it’s not a good thing, I heard it during a physical examination, there was a lot of tragedy coming from their laboratory The cry, it must be an extraordinary pain... Most of the people who are transferred to our side from there will go crazy, and God knows what they have been done to them." Alfred narrowed his eyes, with a look of confusion thinking.

"Why was he transferred to your place?" Alfred asked a tricky question.After thinking about it for a while, Vashion gave a straightforward answer: "Their abilities have become weaker, and they are useless." Alfred has only heard of cases where abilities have become stronger, such as Francis, but the weakening is still far behind. Unheard of... No, it's still possible to lose power, isn't it?Because Matthew's strength became weaker and weaker, the watershed was at the age of nine, and his mental state became healthier and healthier at the same time.But things like the mind are extremely fragile. When the last levee collapses, the flood will burst out.

Alfred knocked on the wall of the truck, and the sound was crisp. On the way from Los Angeles to Sacramento, he had noticed this kind of sound coming from the carriages of that weird truck convoy. Now he thought that the people inside might be calling for help.However, Wang Yao lied to them, probably this is not something they should know until they become the parties involved.Alfred preliminarily judged that it was impossible to escape from the truck, not to mention that the "Penguins" were fully armed, he had no idea where he was, and he might get lost in the wild, which was even more dangerous. So I can only endure to the so-called "laboratory".

But what he never expected was that the opportunity to escape came by such a coincidence.

"Ferry, wake up, it's already noon." Ludwig pushed the door familiarly and entered, and was surprised to find that the lazy Feliciano was not lying on the bed, but sitting cross-legged on the wicker chair by the window look out.The polished wooden floor creaked when stepped on, full of sense of age, but it was cleaned spotlessly by Ludwig. There was a small green palm tree in the corner, and the wall facing the window in the room was painted a refreshing sky blue. The white window screen danced under the caress of the sea breeze. Ludwig put the lunch plate on the small tea table and sat down opposite Feliciano. Feliciano pointed to the empty space. One person's coast said: "Look."

At the end of the long trestle bridge stood a figure, with fishing rods and baskets still on the ground.Honda Chrysanthemum was practicing dance on a whim.Feliciano took a sip of the hot coffee, and his face became rosy: "Although this kind of life is beautiful, I really hope Ju can go home." Ludwig nodded silently, turned on the recorder, and the soothing symphony Filling the room, Feliciano enjoyed his lunch - mashed potatoes made by Ludwig - in a cozy setting.Feliciano said that although he knew that Ludwig could only make mashed potatoes, he still hoped to eat other dishes he made in his lifetime.Ludwig replied that Feliciano, as a prospective chef, should teach him how to cook, and it was agreed.

"It's been a long time since I saw you all. I don't know how you are doing..." "The email says it's fine, so it should be fine. Compared to this, the new instruction sent over there is to move on. We will leave this afternoon." Pack your things and go.” “Hey——? Shouldn’t you take a nap in the afternoon?” “Sleeping in the car.” Feliciano slumped down on the table in dissatisfaction, waiting for Ludwig to install the car seat. After buying a new pillow, he was immediately happy again.Feliciano has always been like this. He looks like a fool all day long, but he is actually more thoughtful than anyone else. As long as he keeps smiling, the people around him can always cheer up. It is precisely because of this that Ludwig has to take good care of him. he.

"Wait," Feliciano found the camera Alfred gave him from the luggage, "Let's take a video. We will keep a souvenir every time we go, and we can say whatever comes to mind." After all, he turned on the photography function of the camera and started video recording. The camera moved from his face to Ludwig's face, from indoors to outdoors, from this end of the sea to the other end of the sea, all the way to Honda On the back of the chrysanthemum T-shirt, there are two strange brush characters "root nature".From then on, the very beginning of their video diary was Feliciano's smiling face.

After returning to the room and carefully saving the video, Feliciano let out a long breath and threw his arms around to hug Ludwig, who was caught off guard.Feliciano stood for a long time without letting go, so Ludwig patted him on the back and asked softly: "What's the matter?" Xi's clothes on the back: "Everyone from 'Fool's Carnival' is gone."

"Yeah." "Ju is leaving too." "Yeah." "There are only two of us left in the team." "Yeah." "Luther, do you want to go home?" Feliciano spit out the last The voice trembled slightly.Ludwig noticed subtle emotional changes, but he never lied to cater to others, so his speech was true to his heart: "I want to. But I also want to travel with you. It's good to go back occasionally. My parents have Brother is taking care." Feliciano let go of his hands, sat down on the table, and said with a somewhat unpredictable expression: "I knew you would say that."

"I don't think you will stay in Los Angeles forever. Since you are destined to travel far, why not let me accompany you for a while until you are satisfied."

"But I don't want to do this." Feliciano said suddenly, and to be honest, this sentence had quite a strong impact on Ludwig, because he thought that Feliciano needed him from the bottom of his heart, "I don't want you For this reason, I left my family and ran around. After sending Ju home, let’s go back to Los Angeles. I will try my best to adapt to this city I have lost. If I can’t do it, I will leave and find a new home. , and then you can stay at your home.” When Feliciano said this, he still maintained a pure smile, but Ludwig couldn’t stand it: “It’s not you who lost Los Angeles, it’s Los Angeles who lost you.” He Lifting his face, his clear blue eyes were covered with mist.

Feliciano looked at Ludwig without saying a word, waiting for him to continue, but he was a dull gourd, stuck at a critical moment, only tears fell slowly and firmly, as if representing the master's All voices.Feliciano sighed: "I'm the crybaby, Luther. You have to always... be a muscular guy."

"If you could be more reasonable, I wouldn't be so embarrassed." Ludwig choked back extremely rarely.Feliciano was amused: "Well, I will definitely become a handsome man. When it rains, I don't have an umbrella. I just need to run like a jerk. If the shoelaces are loose and not tight, just stick them together with glue. , nothing is impossible, one can live alone, probably..." Ludwig wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb, and suddenly changed back to a serious and powerful look: "Your wish will come true , whether I'm here or not. I'll listen to you."

"It's a deal." The two of them pulled the hook.

Sitting on Ivan's bedside, Wang Yao was peeling apples, aiming the sharp blade at the peel, and patiently peeling off circles at a uniform speed without breaking halfway. The remaining yellow flesh was almost a perfect sphere, and the knife tip scratched The stool split into six petals, and because Ivan couldn't eat it, Wang Yao cut it for himself.For three days, Ivan showed no sign of waking up, his face was peaceful, maybe he was having a sweet dream?This is also a rare time for him to rest, so he might as well sleep more.Wang Yao chewed the sweet fruit, and said to himself: "Your heartbeat is too fast, and the blood vessels and organs will not be able to bear it. You put a bomb in it. Do you know that they will disappear?" ? It just happened to be stuck at such a time... It's a troubled time."

The number on the heart rate monitor kept changing within 5, and the green broken line went up and down smoothly, but Ivan's heart rate was obviously high.Originally, Wang Yao still had various other business to do at this time, but he was almost bored, and came to visit Ivan almost with the mentality of fleeing.I have to say that it would be great if Ivan was awake, maybe he can dream something, he is also a powerful alien, as far as the known information is concerned, he is the strongest in the team, so the price he bears is also great. More serious, such as years of insomnia.

Wang Yao understands this kind of pain very well. There are so many things stuffed in his mind that he can't even distinguish reality from dreams, just like he once couldn't distinguish past life from present life.Once when he was young, he suddenly remembered that his former daughter was missing. When he was young, he stumbled and asked everyone if they had seen his daughter. The adults laughed at him for sleeping stupidly.Obviously he can't remember the appearance of his "daughter", but the anxious mood is engraved in Wang Yao's heart. He cried heartbreakingly when he couldn't find his daughter, just like all the parents who lost their children in the world. My lord But still treat him like a child who suddenly loses his temper.He just remembered that he was helpless at the time, no one could understand him, and he was about to collapse.

After many years, after Wang Yao's brain matured, he digested the memories of his previous life bit by bit, but he couldn't share the pain in the memories with anyone.He deeply understands the cruelty of time. The little people who have existed in the world are swallowed by the long river of history. In the future, no one will know that they have lived desperately. The wheel of the times has run over everything. Only Wang Yao stands aside and observes. Understand the so-called feeling of loneliness.Old friends comforted him not to think too much, the person in the previous life is not necessarily the current him - they don't understand, if you remember a period of life so clearly and profoundly from the perspective of No. Extracted from that experience, you are him, and he is you. Selective forgetting is tantamount to deliberately killing a part of yourself.

It was a surprise to meet Ivan, there are similarities in their abilities, and it is always reassuring to have someone in a similar situation to me anyway.Wang Yao dried his fingers with a paper towel, put the fruit knife on the plate, stood up and bent down to look at Ivan's face. He noticed the rolling eyeballs and trembling eyelashes under Ivan's eyelids, but he didn't notice that the heart rate machine seemed to be getting more and more serious. The faster the sound.The face of the young man in S. La. Fu maintained a strange blush as always. Wang Yao put two fingers together and pressed the main artery on Ivan's neck, feeling the heat of life: "Ivan, tell me what you dreamed about."

Suddenly, Ivan's eyelashes trembled violently, as if he was about to struggle away. Wang Yao was taken aback, and only then did he realize the abnormal sound of the heart rate machine: "Ivan?!" It stands to reason that he should go out to take refuge immediately, But his intuition prevented him from acting rashly. He glanced at the bright red emergency button at his hand and decided to observe again: "Ivan, wake up! I need your help!"

The pale eyelashes opened instantly, revealing a pair of dull purple pupils.Wang Yao stared at Ivan who was caught off guard and opened his eyes without moving. He seemed to have not fully woken up, but he stretched out a hand to touch the fruit knife on the plate, and suddenly sat up and faced Wang Yao.Wang Yao was terrified, and immediately scolded: "Ivan, put it down! That's dangerous!" But then he knew it was unnecessary, because Ivan didn't use the knife to hurt people, but to...paint.He pointed the tip of the knife at the bed board and began to sketch, gradually sketching out a portrait, his strength made the bed board shake wildly.In the painting is a strange young man with a handsome and heroic appearance and energetic short hair. However, as Ivan added details, the young man's face was stained with traces of suspected blood, and the highlights of his eyes were erased and became empty , A bullet hole appeared between the eyebrows, as if he had been killed.

Wang Yao stared intently at Ivan's constantly perfecting painting. When the last stroke fell, Ivan let go of his hand, and the rolled fruit knife fell to the ground with a "bang". Look, he actually closed his eyes again.Wang Yao calmly put Ivan on the bed and pressed the emergency button. Before the doctor arrived, he wiped the sawdust off the bed to make the whole portrait clearer. He repeatedly confirmed that he did not recognize the person in the painting. , but since Ivan suddenly woke up and drew this person, this person must have an important reason.Ivan has provided valuable clues, and he will find out the identity of this person.

When all the medical personnel arrived, Wang Yao asked someone to saw off the bed board, and rubbed several copies of the pattern on it. The first person he thought of with these materials was the only intelligence officer of the Special Operations Department, the young Lavis. .Levis, who was entrusted to investigate, was not ambiguous at all. He glanced at the portrait and almost rolled down from the upper bunk in the dormitory: "This is...!" Seeing that his reaction was not right, Wang Yao immediately asked: "Do you know this person? "

"Of course, as Edward said yesterday, some private organizations will also intervene in the case of the disappearance of aliens. This person is the boss of one of the organizations, and his name is Simon Thyssen! Their thinking is the most extreme, not only can't persuade them to subdue , He also publicly robbed the convoy where other people were held in open identity many times, which caused our reputation to drop—he is our number one enemy!" Levis scrambled out of bed, grabbed the portrait and carefully After reading it again, "What happened to him? Is he dead?"

"I don't know, that's why I asked you to investigate. Can you find him?"

Levis showed a troubled stomachache expression: "I'm afraid...it will take a lot of effort. We had caught this man before and put him in prison, but he was robbed by his companions not long ago, and his whereabouts are unknown now .Unless they do it again, we'll have a hard time tracking them down because they have a very capable IT guy." Lewis has always referred to hackers as "IT guys."Wang Yao handed the portrait to Lavis: "In any case, you must find him as soon as possible. He may become an important clue. Since he is trying to rescue the trapped aliens like you, he must have certain information. and resources." Lewis nodded quickly, and ran to his computer room barefoot.

Then, something happened the next day.
