But I still have to speak.After hesitating for a moment, I said, "You should tell me first, how did you get here?" Bai Su said: "The Brazilian police notified the Interpol headquarters in France, and then forwarded it to Guyana. They lent me a helicopter and gave me a map. I don't know where you are at all, just based on the word of mouth. , flew southwest, and found a place to land in the mountains." I raised my head abruptly, the sound of drums was still coming from the mountain, I said, "Is there someone coming with you?" Bai Su said: "No, that's the tape I made in advance. The place where I camped is very nice, there is a waterfall. Maybe you can tell me more about it when you arrive at the camp?"

I thought for a while: "I can go and tell you at the same time!" Bai Su didn't rush me, we walked towards the helicopter together, it was a small military helicopter, quite old.But even though it is old, it is very useful in such a wild place.It takes three to five days for a person to walk, but he can reach his destination in half an hour. Bai Su drove the plane, and as soon as it took off, I began to tell what happened that night.I explained in great detail, Bai Su just listened silently as usual. When I finished speaking, the helicopter also landed in a small valley.The valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is a rather large waterfall, which pours down into an unusually fast mountain stream, and flows out in a meandering manner.The valley is full of exotic flowers and plants, as beautiful as a fairyland.

After I finished speaking, Bai Su looked at me for a while before saying: "I can't blame you for this matter!" I smiled wryly: "Don't blame me, who is to blame?" Bai Su lowered her head and walked slowly towards a tent. I walked forward side by side with her, paying attention to her expression.Seeing her expression, she seemed to be thinking about how to answer my question. Before reaching the tent, she raised her head: "There are many things in the world—" When she talked about this, she paused for a while, and then emphasized: "There are many things, no one is wrong, no one needs to be responsible, it's just—" She smiled wryly again, and then said: "That's just Good luck tricks people, the arrangement of fate!"

My eyes widened, and for a moment, I really didn't understand why Bai Su would say such words. "Arrangement of fate", this kind of statement is the most helpless prevarication, and it really shouldn't come out of Zhu Bai Su's mouth! Although I didn't make a sound, my disapproving expression was obvious.Bai Su immediately said: "I don't want to say that, but in fact, there is no other way to say it. No one made mistakes in the whole thing!" I said, "Yes, we underestimated Popu's fear of Gina!" Bai Su said: "Yes, but if we have estimated this point, think about it, how will things be different? Isn't it the same? Popu will run away as well, and we will wait for Gina to come in the grocery store, the result is still the same as now Same, no change!"

I blinked, unable to answer.Indeed, Bai Su was right, the result was the same.But what if I'm not so impatient and wait until Gina comes into the shop and meet her again? I immediately thought, even if this is the case, the result will not change. In short, Gina and I haven’t seen each other for so many years, she can’t recognize me immediately, and when she sees me, she will definitely treat me as a stranger , will also turn around and run away, and I will also catch up.That is to say, the result remains the same! No matter what kind of changes there are in the process of things, the same result is always reached. This, apart from saying that it is the established arrangement of fate, there is really nothing else to say!While I would never want to think that way, there is no alternative.

Seeing me in a daze, Bai Su said, "Don't think about it anymore, anyway, things have happened, the important thing is what should we do now?" I said, "Of course it is to find the place where Gina has lived all these years!" Bai Su said: "She just pointed out a direction, maybe that place is far away!" I said: "Of course it may be very far away, but it's definitely not yet—" I originally wanted to say, "I am determined not to go to the seaside."But halfway through my speech, I stopped.Because the direction Gina pointed out was southwest, from French Guiana to the southwest, it might cross the entire South American continent before reaching the sea.

Of course, the direction Gina pointed out couldn't be that far away, but going all the way to the southwest is the hinterland of South America, God knows where it is! I was halfway through the sentence, staring, unable to continue.Bai Su sighed: "I see, take a rest first, don't be too pessimistic." I said, "Perseus must be the nearest town to this place!" Of course I have a good reason for saying this, because if Perseus is not the nearest town, why would Gina make a special trip to Perseus? Bai Su took out a map and pointed to a place: "We are here now. You see, to the northeast, it is more than 200 kilometers to Perseus. If you want to go to other towns, the nearest one is also in Four hundred kilometers away!"

When she said this, she raised her head and looked at me: "So, the biggest possibility is that she lives in this mountain!" I took a breath: "The range is much smaller. We have helicopters. How long do you think it will take to search in the air?" Bai Su said: "Two days at most, but if the helicopter takes two days to search, there will be no fuel to fly back!" I said, "We can walk back!" Bai Su didn't express any objection, but said: "Two days is the longest plan, maybe you can find out on the first day." I said, "Then what are we waiting for?"

Bai Su calmly said: "When you rest, you must have a good night's rest, otherwise, I will not promise you to search!" Seeing Bai Su's resolute expression, I knew that if I persisted, there would be no results, so I didn't say anything anymore. After entering the tent, everything in the tent was of course extremely simple, but compared to these days, I couldn't bear it every night. Living in a tree is already extremely comfortable. I lay down, but couldn't sleep.After a while, the smell of food wafted in from the outside, and Bai Su actually roasted a roe deer leg for me. I ate my fill and asked, "Did you bring Ji Na's manuscript?"

Bai Su said: "On the helicopter." I rubbed my belly: "Once we find that spaceship, we'll know what's written on it!" Bai Su said: "Why do you think it must be a spaceship?" I said, "It's not a spaceship, what could it be? I have entered Mrs. Mirren's spaceship, and the equipment inside is unimaginable." Bai Su frowned: "If it's a spaceship parked somewhere in the mountains, it shouldn't be hard to find. As long as the weather is good and there is sunlight, the metal of the spaceship will reflect the sunlight!" I said: "Don't be too optimistic, what if the spaceship is hiding in a cave?"

Bai Su spread his hands: "Then there is no other way. If it is in a cave, this mountain is at least 100 kilometers around. Who knows how many caves there are. It is absolutely impossible to search one by one." I said: "Even if I spend ten or twenty years here, I must find it!" Bai Su sighed lowly, ten or twenty years is of course an exaggeration, but if you want to search the entire mountain, three to five years is inevitable. Early the next morning, after a night of rest, he and Bai Su got on the helicopter together and climbed up to the height limit that the helicopter could reach. Looking down from the sky, the entire mountain range is formed by many peaks surrounding a main peak, and between the peaks, there are many flat lands, waterfalls everywhere, and mountain streams. There is a 30-power military telescope in the helicopter, and I use this telescope to look down. Sitting in the mountain, there seemed to be no sign of people. The helicopter circled and flew forward. By noon, I had already called out: "I found something. Look, what is this?" As I spoke, I took over the responsibility of driving, handed the binoculars to Bai Su, and pointed to a small valley below. What I found, from the air, with a telescope, looks like an umbrella with only the ribs, opened, and inserted into the ground. From a vertical pole, the copper branches spread out in all directions, which seemed to be a strangely shaped antenna.This kind of thing is naturally not something that should exist in the wild valley. Bai Su only glanced at it, then said: "It looks like a kind of antenna!" I said, "It's the same as mine!" As I said that, I was already manipulating the helicopter, going down, and landed in this valley. From a high altitude point of view, the thing I found does not give people the feeling of "high".But once you look up at the device from the ground, it gives people a very high feeling.In fact, it is not very high, about ten meters, but because the metal rod is quite thin, with a diameter of no more than three centimeters, it stands straight upwards, and there are absolutely no other accessories around it to stabilize it, so it gives people a feeling. A very towering feeling. On top of that metal rod are thin metal rods about one meter each. I counted them, and there are twelve in total. As soon as the helicopter stopped, I jumped off, went straight to the metal pole, held the metal pole with both hands, and looked up. Then, I watched the metal pole, and within a few seconds, I A thread was seen extending forward from the base of the metal rod.I was so excited that I couldn't even speak. While gesturing to Bai Su, I ran forward along the line (it looked like a wire, or an unbalanced lead-in line) Then, running less than 200 meters, standing still, I found myself in front of a cave. The entrance of the cave is not too big, at most it can only accommodate three or five people to enter and exit at the same time. It doesn't seem to be suitable for a cave that can accommodate spaceships as I imagined. I stayed in front of the cave for a while, and Bai Su had already rushed over, she was also extremely excited, and shouted: "Go in! What are you doing at the door?" I said, "This cave is too small, it seems—" Before I finished my words, Bai Su said: "Look at the rock at the entrance of the cave, the entrance of the cave has been remodeled!" Bai Su was much more careful than me, she saw this at a glance, and I realized that there were many big rocks at the entrance of the cave, which were piled up after she pointed it out. The original entrance of the cave was much bigger! At this time, my heart was beating wildly, I yelled, and ran inward. The section after the entrance of the cave is quite narrow, and it didn't take long before it came to the end. But we were not disappointed at all, but we were inexplicably excited because there was an arched metal door at the end! I jumped forward, raised my hands high, and shouted childishly: "Open Sesame!" Bai Su glared at me, came to the door, observed for a while, stretched out his hand to turn a knob on the door, and made a slight "click" sound, and after a while, there was a "click", Bai Su pressed hard She pushed it, but she didn't push it, but with her push, the metal door slowly went up and rose automatically. As soon as the door was raised, a soft light shot out from the inside, and we immediately saw that inside the door was a space with soft light everywhere, about 30 square meters, except for a 50 cm diameter, high There is nothing but a metal cylinder about two meters away.The four walls of the entire space are all silver, and that kind of soft light comes from nowhere.And it doesn't look like there are other channels. Bai Su and I glanced at each other, and we came to the pillar together. The pillar was extremely smooth, and we couldn't tell what material it was made of.I stretched out my hand to touch the pillar, and as soon as I touched the pillar, I felt that the tentacles seemed very warm. Suddenly, a human voice came and said a word. When Bai Su and I came in, we were almost certain that this was the inside of the "spaceship" I assumed! However, none of us expected to hear human voices! Because my guess is: these years, Gina has been with a person from a mysterious alien. This person is the one who is considered by the priest to be the "messenger of God".But according to my speculation, this person should already be dead!Because Gina had a corpse to deal with, it was naturally this person's corpse! But at this moment, we suddenly heard someone speak! We immediately looked around for the source of the sound, and at the same time, our hearts were full of doubts.Bai Su said: "Or the sound left by the tape recorder!" I nodded, but before I opened my mouth, I suddenly heard a short panting sound, which is only made when people encounter accidents. I immediately asked, "Excuse me, who is speaking? Can you hear my voice?" After I asked the question, the panting continued for about half a minute, followed by a few mutterings, the voice seemed to be from the cylinder. The cylinder seemed to be a whole, and it was unimaginable that it would make a sound! I repeated what I said just now, the panting quieted down, and then there was an extremely tired voice: "Two strangers are here, and Gina is dead, isn't she?" As soon as I heard that voice say this, the doubts in my heart reached the extreme! Hearing a human voice suddenly was already surprising enough, but that person actually knew that Gina was dead!Wouldn't this be even more unbelievable?For a moment, I thought that it was because Gina's death had brought me so much stimulation that I had hallucinations above hearing! However, when I looked towards Bai Su, I found that Bai Su also had an expression of surprise, which made me know that what I heard was not a hallucination, but I really heard someone say that! I opened my mouth wide, and for a moment, I really didn't know what to say.And at this moment, I heard a sigh coming from the cylindrical object. That sigh sounded full of sorrow and helplessness, which made people's hearts sink. Bai Su spoke before me, and she said: "Yes, Gina is dead, may I ask who are you?" After Bai Su said that sentence, I held my breath and waited for the answer, feeling extremely nervous in my heart. I waited for about half a minute before I heard the voice say again: "I...I am..." The man's voice was very hesitant, as if he didn't know how to answer this simple question.He paused for another moment, then Bai Su said, "Maybe it's better if we talk face to face?" Bai Su skillfully asked this person to show up, which made me even more nervous. This time, the man answered quite straightforwardly: "Okay, please rotate the cylinder in front of you, and rotate it counterclockwise!" As soon as I heard what he said, I quickly hugged the cylinder with both hands and turned it counterclockwise vigorously.The man made it very clear that it was rotating counterclockwise, that is to say, after I hugged the pillar, it rotated toward my left hand. However, the pillar did not move at all. No matter how hard I tried, the pillar remained motionless. I couldn't help being a little annoyed: "I'm sorry, I can't turn, how much strength should I exert?" The voice immediately said: "Why?" After he said three words, he paused, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, although I have been here for a long time, I still can't adapt to the opposite direction. , it should be... clockwise, according to what you said." I was stunned for a while, and Bai Su exchanged glances, for a moment, but I didn't know what this person meant by saying that.What do you mean by "still unable to adapt to the opposite direction"?But from his words "Although I have been here for a long time", I can be sure that he is from an alien, which made me feel excited again. I was eager to meet this person, so I hugged the pillar again and turned it clockwise. In fact, I didn't need to exert so much strength at all. After one turn, the pillar turned immediately. As soon as the pillar moved, there was a "chi" sound behind me, and a door automatically moved away.We immediately looked inside the door. Inside the door is a larger space. The first thing we see is a huge fluorescent screen facing the door. I am no stranger to everything there.It's exactly the same inside of Mrs. Mirren's spaceship that I entered in the crater many years ago! In front of the huge fluorescent screen, there are a series of consoles. In front of the consoles, there are two driving chairs. On both sides, there are various mechanical devices. We've finally found the spaceship we were supposed to have! Bai Su stretched out his hand, and we shook hands.She should not be unfamiliar with such spaceships.Although she has never entered Mrs. Mirren's spaceship, I described it to her in detail when I told her about it. At this time, one of the two driver's chairs in front of the console was empty, and someone was obviously sitting in the other.This man's back is facing us, his shoulders and head are higher than the back of the chair. This man has a head of blond hair, which is so golden that it shines brilliantly.But it seemed that the man had no intention of standing up to welcome us, for he was sitting, motionless. The driver's seat should be able to rotate, but he obviously didn't even intend to turn around, he just sat motionless. I was stunned for a while when I saw this situation, Bai Su immediately made a gesture to me, signaling me not to speak, she said: "We are coming!" The man remained motionless, but said, "Please come in, please come in! The two must be Mr. and Mrs. Wesley!" The man sat motionless and was very rude, but his words were very polite, and what was even more surprising was that he knew who we were!Impatient, I immediately strode forward and came to the driver's seat.At this time, I can already see this person clearly! This blond-haired man was quite tall, at least 190 centimeters tall, but he was surprisingly thin, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were dazed. That sigh was very cooperative. This person, in my imagination, should be the "angel of God" in the priest's mouth.According to the priest's description, he should be heroic, like a god.But the one in front of him is clearly in extreme despair!He sat there, motionless, not even alive! When I saw this situation, I couldn't help being stunned for a while. At this moment, behind me, Bai Su also heard a sound of breathing. Obviously, she had never expected such a situation to happen.If we hadn't heard someone talking just now, and it was clear that he was the only one in front of us, we would have thought it was a statue, not a living person! I stared at the man, of course it's impolite to look at a man like that, but I was too surprised to control myself. In the eyes of that person, there was even more sadness and helplessness.Human eyes are very special organs. When people are happy or sad, they can be reflected in a pair of still eyes.The man didn't even blink or roll his eyes.But I felt his deep sorrow deeply. I am sure this man is from the same place as Mrs. Mirren.His sorrow, of course, was the same as Mrs. Mirren's, because he could not go back!All these years, he must have been accompanied by only Gina, but now that he knew that Gina was dead (I don't know how he knew), of course, the grief was even deeper. Infected by the sadness revealed in his eyes, I sighed: "You don't have to be too sad, perhaps, this is the so-called arrangement of fate!" At this time, I naturally used the words "arrangement of fate", extremely helpless.Last time, Bai Su used the same words to comfort me, I still didn't take it seriously, but this time he said the same thing.Indeed, what else is there to say but this? The man heard me say this, but still didn't respond at all.What I mean by "no reaction at all" doesn't just refer to him sitting motionless, but really no reaction at all. His whole body is like a stone statue, and he doesn't even have the slightest muscle in his face. The symbol of "moving". Facing such a person, but knowing that this person is not dead, this kind of situation is extremely strange. I turned my head to look at Bai Su, and Bai Su was also staring at that person, showing a kind of extremely deep sympathy.Before I could speak, she said, "This friend seems to have encountered great difficulties: he can't move any part of his body!" Bai Su's words reminded me abruptly! Indeed, what I was facing was a living person, and if a living person could be so motionless, with such heartbreaking sadness in his eyes, there was only one possibility: he was a paralyzed man!His whole body was paralyzed. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but he couldn't move at all! Generally speaking, such severe general paralysis can only happen if the brain and spine have been seriously injured.And if such a severe paralysis is caused by a brain injury, most of the time, the injured will be unconscious and unconscious, and they will never show such a sad expression in their eyes again.Well, this person must be paralyzed because of a spinal injury! The phenomenon in front of me is too shocking, my mind is in chaos, and what I think of is completely disorganized and irrelevant things, such as what hurt the other party to make him become what he is now. Bai Su seemed to be much calmer than me. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Friend, we understand your difficulties, but you can at least talk? We have heard your voice before, please believe that we will never let you down. No malice, would you like to speak to us?" The man looked at Bai Su, from his eyes, it seemed that he was listening to Bai Su's words with all his attention. When Bai Su finished speaking, there was an expression of extreme helplessness in his eyes, and a slight cooing sound came from his throat.That kind of "cuckoo" sound cannot really be called language.And the voice was very low, if we hadn't all held our breath, it would have been impossible to hear the voice coming from his throat. But, as Bai Su said just now, this person can speak, we have heard his speech before, and he also asked: Is Gina dead!Why at this time, he can only make a "cuckoo" sound in his throat? Just as I was about to ask him, I suddenly heard a voice behind me, which was the voice we heard from the cylindrical object just now in the outer space: "Gina is really dead?" Both Bai Su and I were taken aback, because we never expected that there was another person here!So as soon as we heard the voice coming from behind, we immediately turned to look.However, there was no one behind him except for a series of instruments. There is only a row of instruments with many indicator lights on them, which are constantly and regularly flashing at this moment. When we turned around, we heard the voice say again: "She is really dead, she... really can't escape... the arrangement... no one can escape... all of this has already been realized... of……" I didn't understand what the voice meant when it said that, but when the voice came out intermittently, I saw the indicator lights on the instrument flashing more frequently, and the flashing instructions were obviously determined according to the height of the syllables Numbers of lamps.In addition, I also found that the sound is coming from a certain part of the console. I walked forward immediately, and the sound came from a circular metal membrane with many small holes.The metal film seems to be a kind of speaker device. When I was walking towards the many dashboards, Bai Su did the opposite. She walked towards that person instead, and when she came to that person, I turned around and wanted to tell Bai Su what I found. Voice: "Wei, this friend is talking to us!" As Bai Su spoke, he pointed at the man's head.It wasn't until then that I noticed that the man's blond hair was tied with a "headband". The name "headband" may not be very appropriate, but at first glance, the very thin golden circle around his hair and forehead really looks like a "headband." ".I immediately walked forward, and when I came to this person, I found that there were many extremely thin metal wires in the metal circle, and those metal wires passed out from the coil and pierced the man's forehead, It seemed, straight into the man's head.
