Chapter 38: Confrontation
The one I suddenly said, "Slow down!"
I didn't pull the trigger or speak, I wanted to hear what he would say before he died.
The one I looked at the monsoon next to me and said, "Monsoon, do you believe me?"
Monsoon said helplessly: "You can solve your business yourself, don't ask me about anything!"
I sighed and said, "If you don't help me, I'll be done..."
I suddenly asked, "Do you have any memories?"
That I said, "Nonsense."
I said, "I'll give you some time, you tell me about your hometown, your childhood, or the stories you wrote."
That I said, "Why aren't you here?"
I said, "The gun is in my hand."
That I said, "It's not fair, you should hand the gun to Monsoon, and then we take turns to tell her and let her judge whoever she thinks is fake."
Monsoon said: "I agree."
She looked at me: "Do you agree?"
I said, "I don't agree."
Monsoon said, "Then you are fake."
I was stunned. After thinking for a long time, I finally handed the gun into her hands and whispered: "You, no, want, stand, wrong, team."
Then, on the dark Lop Nur, a funny scene appeared - I sat down on the sand with another one and began to tell my own history -
The one I said first: "I, Zhou Dedong, was born on May 5, 1967. I don't know the specific time. My hometown is a small town in Heilongjiang. The place is very poor, with only sandy roads, and it becomes muddy when it rains. In my novel, I call it Juelundi, but in fact its name is Yilong Town. It is very coincidental on the chicken head on the map of China. Lop Nur is on the cocktail, and the two places are far away..."
I said, "My family lives in Northwest Street, Yilong Town. It is a row of ridge-connected houses, with a total of 5 families."
I suddenly asked, "Do you live in the eastmost or the westmost?"
I said disdainfully: "The second house in the west."
I won't talk anymore.
I continued: "There is a vegetable garden in front and behind my house. Sunflower poles are clamped into a barrier. There are a lot of weeds growing under the barrier. Behind my house is an industrial and commercial office, an animal husbandry station, a post office, and a road team. After passing the road team, it is a farmland..."
The me said, "Wrong, go north and walk a little further, there is a pickle factory! There is also a pond in the middle, which is the open-air swimming pool in Yilong Town. One summer, three elementary school students were drowned there!"
I said, "The pickle factory was stripped down later. Don't you know?"
I quickly said, "Oh, I remembered..."
Ji Feng said: "Boss Zhou... I remember you told me 10 horror stories in your hometown. Can you take turns to tell me?"
I said, "Let me talk first - there is a meadow in the southwest of Yilong Town. When I was young, a woman named Zhang Caiyun drove a farm motorcycle across the meadow. As a result, the farm motorcycle broke down and she was eaten alive by a group of wolves. Some people also said that Zhang Caiyun knew a male driver in the neighboring county. The driver never ate meat. On the day Zhang Caiyun had an accident, someone saw the driver walking into the meadow with a pale face and walked out with a red face..."
Monsoon looked at me.
He quickly said, "There is a grave in the southeast of Yilong Town. A girl hanged her to death and buried it there. On the day of the burial, someone was drunk and passed by on a bicycle at night. He heard a dull knocking sound from the new grave. He was so scared that he woke up halfway and rode his bicycle to leave quickly. A few years later, the girl's parents planned to move her daughter's bones to another place. After digging out the coffin, they found that the girl's bones were not the way they were when they were buried. The bedding and pillows were torn, and the gold necklace on her neck was also pulled into pieces, and her hair was also pulled down. There were a bunch of them here and a bunch of them there..."
I said, "There is a sandy road in the northwest of Yilong Town, which is very evil. It often happens when ghosts hit walls. I heard that a boy came back from a relative's house on a bicycle. Halfway through, I met a girl asking for directions. She was going to Yilong Town, so the boy took her to walk together. The two of them walked and chatted, and they knew each other's name. As they walked, they all came to know each other's name. As they walked, they found that he was lost. Finally, he threw away the bicycle, pulled the girl and walked forward, and walked forward. He quickly pulled the girl back and walked in the opposite direction. As he walked, he returned to the cemetery again. There were tombstones around, as if stopping them. The boy held the girl with one hand and the lighter with the other hand to find the way. He suddenly saw the girl's name written on the tombstone in front...
That I said: "There is a technical school in the northeast of Yilong Town. There is a large square stone inserted in a corner of the playground. No one knows its origin, and no one knows how deep it is buried under it. There is a strange pattern engraved on the top of the stone, and it is hard to tell whether it is a human or an animal. Some people suspect it is a fallen object in the sky, and some people suspect it is a cultural relic that emerges from the ground. Some people burst out a shocking secret - the stone will move. When it is dark, it slowly turns. After dawn, it turns around and returns to its original state. One night, two people went to the field test, one of which was my elementary school classmate. It is dark.
Afterwards, they turned on the flashlight and shone it on the stone, remembering a pattern that looked like a tail, which was towards the school gate. The pattern that looked like a head was towards the school workers' dormitory building. Then, they turned off the flashlight and sat on the playground and waited until midnight. They observed the pattern on the stone, and the pattern that tail was still towards the school gate; the pattern that head was still towards the school workers' dormitory building. They used a compass to determine the direction and soon discovered the problem. The stone was indeed rotating. The reason why they could not be seen was that the reference object was also following the stone..."
I said: "There is a passenger station on the South Street of Yilong Town. It looks like a two-story building. In fact, there is only one-story waiting hall. The second floor is a fake decorative building. In the past, it was not a passenger station, but a row of wing rooms. One of the families had many old books. They had four big boxes and had no place to place them, so they tied them to the beams of the roof with four ropes. He said: "One night, four book boxes fell down at the same time. There was a family of five lying on the kang. The book boxes fell in the middle, and no one was smashed..."
The me said, "There is a nursing home on the north street of Yilong Town. There was a boy who went out to talk about love with his girlfriend in the wild. When he was about to go home, the boy pulled the girl and stood up. As a result, the girl's crotch broke open. The boy ran to the nursing home and saw an old lady wearing a black hat. He asked for needles and threads from her. The girl's pants were black, but the old lady had only white threads, so the boy took them back. The two of them went into the cornfield and sewed their pants and went home. The next day, the girl found her boyfriend and told him that after getting up in the morning, she saw that her pants were cracked and had not been sewn at all, and she did not find the white thread. The boy ran to the nursing home and found that there was no old lady wearing a black hat at all..."
...
I found that another person I was extremely familiar with my history, including the novels I wrote, was well-known.
I said, "Forget it, we won't talk about our hometown anymore. Why are you coming to Lop Nur?"
I looked at the monsoon and said, "You took me to the physical examination that day, and I left early. Actually... I found that there was something wrong with my body."
Monsoon asked: "What's the question?"
The me said, "I don't know why, my heart rhythm is 600 times a minute, the same as a mouse. I came to Lop Nur to find the roots."
Speaking of this, he looked at me and asked, "Do you like juice?"
I thought about it for a while and said, "I like it."
The me said, "Have you given her anything before you went into the water?"
I said, "A piece of glass."
The one I said, "Are you sure it's a piece of glass?"
I said, "What did you say that is?"
That I said, "Heavenly things."
Monsoon said: "What kind of nature?"
The me said, "Don't ask, it's a very rare thing anyway."
Then he asked me: "Is that true?"
I was desperate, he copied my body, including scars, copied my memories, copied my emotions... I really can't prove that he is fake, I am real.
I was at a loss.
Suddenly, I had an idea and stared at him: "Are you a writer?"
That I was stunned: "Of course I am a writer."
I said, "Then I'll ask you a word and you can explain it to me."
I almost couldn't help laughing: "You ask."
I said, "What does copy mean?"
That I said, "What?"
I said word by word: "Reply! Made!"
That I said, "You write it on the ground."
I said: "There is no need to review the system."
I deliberately avoided the words "repeat" and "made".
I thought about it and finally shook my head.
The copyist finally revealed his flaws!
He is exactly the same as mine, but he doesn't know the meaning of the word "copy"!
Monsoon was very clever. While staring at me, she moved to me without realizing it and stuffed her pistol.
I raised my gun, pointed it at my heart, and said, "Then I tell you, you copied it!"
After saying that, I pulled the trigger directly.
Even though the gun barrel was wrapped around the headrest, the gunshots were still very loud.
The one I was shot, he shook it and knelt on one knee. I knew that I didn't hit the vital point, so I took a step forward and shot him in the head again - "Bang!" Now, he stumbled on the ground with a "plop".
I seemed to have violated the "Sky Rules", and the desert suddenly trembled violently. Then I heard a terrifying sound from the lake, as if it was causing storm waves.
I held the monsoon tightly.
Chapter completed!
