abyss rose

Chapter 65

Floating Void City has just received important news from the base in the fog area. Yi Shuyun left the base research institute to help lead the way, which would only cause unnecessary trouble for Chai Yuening and Chu Ci.

After all, their identities are too special, a confidential sample that was almost burned by the base, and a thief who stole the confidential sample.

Fortunately, they brought back important research results, and the military also needs them to lead the way to find the base in the foggy area. Their situation will not be too bad for the time being.

But if you want to move freely, it will be more troublesome.

It was Ye Qing who took them out of the institute that day.It is inconvenient to tell the military about this matter, Ye Qing is Yi Shuyun's assistant, she can freely come and go in and out of the base, and is well known by many people, if she leads the search, it will not be closed.

But the speed must be fast, the faster the better, otherwise, when the base responds, their freedom of movement will definitely be restricted.

The white van drove on a flat bridge, and the bridge lights on both sides illuminated the long driveway.

Before leaving the research institute, Ye Qing asked someone to check the family information of the old man. The navigation system on the car pointed them in the direction of travel with a mechanical voice.

"Zhang Hanqing, 94 years old, a staff member of the Old World Secret Research Institute. After coming to the base, he devoted himself to the research of species fusion and made many outstanding contributions to the base research institute. He is a respectable senior." Ye Qing held the steering wheel with both hands, looking Looking straight ahead at the wide and long bridge, "But 23 years ago, she suddenly went crazy because of a ground mission, her mood became very unstable, she was either silent or talking nonsense, the base had to let her leave graduate School."

"Senior was over seventy years old when she went crazy. Her family thought she was a lunatic. She was not allowed to go out on weekdays, saying it was too embarrassing. Don't let people go out. No one at home is willing to accompany her, so they can only invite someone Take care." Ye Qing sighed with great emotion, "If it wasn't for the fact that the base gave her a pension every month, and this pension was completely enough for their family to do nothing and live comfortably, she would have gone crazy Elderly people with the disease probably won't live that long."

"So they raised her just for money..." Chai Yuening couldn't help but frowned.

"Yeah." Ye Qing nodded, "It's not counting them. Her daughter left early, and her grandson has never had any relationship with her. She left a few years ago. Her great-grandson, who is in his twenties, has been there since he can remember. I haven't seen her in a normal way, how can I care about her? Many people who know her say that there is no difference between her being alive like that and being under house arrest... Even those who have been paid to take care of her will not treat her well complexion."

"She was very silent." Chai Yuening still remembers that the old man didn't talk much, and spent most of his time sitting on the bed listening to the radio. Occasionally, when he looked at her with wide open eyes, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end Still hesitant to speak.

In the eyes of everyone, that old man is a lunatic, and no one likes to listen to what a lunatic says.

She is used to being ignored, so she no longer speaks easily.

Except for the last sentence the old man said that day, Chai Yuening never heard anything from her.

She suddenly felt a little regretful that she had never cared for a moment when she was taking care of the old man. If she could chat with her, even if it was to listen to her talk about those crazy things that others thought were ridiculous, maybe the old man would feel better. You can also get some useful information.

She looked out of the window with regret, and the thick clouds in the distance shrouded the scattered lights on the tall buildings in Yunjian City.

Drones can be seen everywhere cruising around the main city.

They followed Ye Qing to a residential complex, took the elevator up to a tall building, and knocked on an iron door.

"Who? At night..."

"Base Research Institute, Ye Qing."

A greasy-headed, slightly fat man in his twenties, wearing only a tank top and shorts, pushed open the door.

When he saw Ye Qing for the first time, he corrected his attitude subconsciously, a trace of embarrassment flickered in his eyes, but after his eyes touched Chai Yuening, he became a little dazed again.

Chai Yuening recognized him immediately.

This is her original employer, Mr. Wang.

The old man's great-grandson, the day the old man had an accident, he still wanted to put all the responsibility on her, for fear that the old man's mutation would implicate him.

"This...what's the matter?"

"Base Research Institute, I want to ask about your grandma." Ye Qing said.

"Didn't you make it clear last time?" Mr. Wang smiled apologetically, made way for the three people outside the house, and greeted them inside while saying, "I really don't know why she mutated. Very little, besides, my grandma didn't hurt anyone, it...it's been so long, won't the base still pursue it?"

He said, glanced at Chai Yuening, and quickly pointed out: "My grandma mutated in front of her, you can ask her if you have anything."

Ye Qing: "She knows what I'm looking for you for?"

Mr. Wang: "..."

Ye Qing: "Don't worry, I'm not from the military, but I just want to clarify some problems. This has something to do with our research, and I'm not here to pursue responsibility." Ye Qing smiled and sat on the sofa, and Chai Yuening beside him Left and right stood on either side of her.

The two looked serious, and there was no malice in that stop, but it made Mr. Wang put his heart in his throat.

He was about to sit down, but his buttocks fell halfway, and he stood up quickly, leaning forward slightly, hugging his hands in front of him unconsciously, and hurriedly said: "This, this... what kind of research? My family got it from my grandma. Since my generation, no one has done research, my old man went there a few years ago, I... I don't know anything about my grandma's research..."

"I heard that old people always like to say some strange things, do you probably remember?"

"This, how can I remember this, I don't have much communication with her on weekdays, so I just find someone to serve her all the time."

"No communication at all?"

"Um, a little, a little... But who would remember those crazy words?"

Ye Qing frowned: "It's a little bit, let's hear it."

Mr. Wang bowed his head and said, "When I was young, I saw her a few times when I was young. My mother said it was pitiful for her to live alone, so she took her home and lived there for half a year. Later, she was too weird, so she was sent away."

He recalled it seriously, and said: "She always said things like gods, people, and sins. If she opens her mouth, it means retribution or the end of the world..."

As Mr. Wang said, he suddenly took a hiss of cold air, and said in panic, "I won't be convicted of anything if I say this?"

Ye Qing: "No, what you said is..."

Mr. Wang: "What else did she say, something will come, that day will not be too far..."

Chai Yuening: "What?"

Mr. Wang: "Who knows?"

Chai Yuening hurriedly asked: "Is there any more?"

Mr. Wang frowned, scratched his head for a long time, and finally said: "Hua, she often mentioned flowers, saying that they are in the abyss..."

Chu Ci unconsciously murmured and repeated: "Abyss..."

Mr. Wang: "Ah yes, there are flowers blooming in the abyss."

Chai Yuening: "What flower? What abyss?"

Mr. Wang: "I don't know..."

Chai Yuening: "Who else has taken care of her? Can you provide me with her identity and address?"

Mr. Wang: "How can I remember this? Most of them came from outside cities to work. They ran away after a few days, and they didn't bother to sign the contract... Maybe they were blown up with the outer cities?"

Chai Yuening unconsciously took two deep breaths.

I don't know, I don't remember, there is no result for asking anything, she has never seen such an unreliable family member.

She glanced around, Ye Qing continued to question that person, but still only got some useless nonsense.

In the end, they left there, taking only a piece of paper with them, on which were written a few titles that made people feel awkward at first glance, as well as the general appearance characteristics corresponding to the titles.

Xiao Lu, Xiao Fang, Xiao An, Aunt Chen, Sister Yang, Sister Wang...

This one is thin and tall, that one has dark skin, some have small eyes, and some have big mouths.

Chai Yuening sighed heavily: "With this information, can we find someone?"

Ye Qing: "Try it."

Chai Yuening turned back to look at Chu Ci, she was as silent as ever, but her eyes were no longer as calm as before.

She pursed her lips, wanting to give her some comfort, but she didn't know what to say.

That night, Ye Qing brought them back to her home. The room was exactly the same as when Chai Yuening first came, and the furnishings hadn't changed a bit.

"You guys can sleep inside, I'll just sleep on the sofa." Ye Qing said, took out a towel from the closet, turned and walked out of the bedroom, and threw it on the sofa.

But that night, they didn't get a good night's sleep.

The two of them had just finished washing their bodies in turn, and their hair hadn't been dried yet, when they heard a heavy knock on the door.

The military sent people to "pick up" them. Ye Qing, who had just changed into her nightgown, called Yi Shuyun with her address book, and chased all the way downstairs, but finally failed to stop the military from taking them away.

"Don't worry, I'm here, I'm fine!"

Yi Shuyun's voice came from the other end of the address book. She was soothing Ye Qing's emotions, and she was also comforting Chai Yuening and Chu Ci, hoping that they would not be impulsive.

Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with them, and the military just wants to bring them under their noses.

They live in a military area full of surveillance, which is quite close to the research institute.

Liu An sent them a communicator. There were only two frequency options in the communicator. He told them to find him if they needed anything, or tell Dr. Yi.

He said that the base is grateful for their return, and needs them to guide the base, and the base will give them courtesy and protection.

The Floating Void City will stabilize them, but it will not give them much freedom. This is exactly as expected, and Chai Yuening is not surprised at all.

When the door was closed again, Chai Yuening looked at Chu Ci who was sitting beside the bed in a daze, and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Abyss, that person said Abyss." Chu Ci murmured softly.

"Did you remember anything?"

"The abyss... is it... ten thousand meters deep..."
