Chapter 183 Huiyou Former Emperor
Zhu Min absently looked around the dining room with the barrel of his gun. He had spent a lot of time in the mechanical power cabin just now, and the heat had already penetrated his hair into his scalp.Zhu Min unbuttoned a few coat buttons, and after hearing Ji Yao's words, he looked back at the photo in his hand.
"Didn't you listen to the engineer at Gnad? Then you are not serious. The engineer told me that this submarine is a DF094-class nuclear submarine, which is obviously a product of the Gnad military factory. March 2010, Chernaberg The USS sank in the Bering Strait during a deep-diving mission because the air regeneration unit was burned. And this submarine is called Bernaberg, which is a name that has never appeared on the list of Gnard nuclear submarines. You just saw Arrived, our mechanic was working on its air regenerator, there was obviously a large area of burn marks, I had to be a bit wary of that. We should really think about where he got this sub from, don't you think Is it strange?"
"The burning of an air regeneration device doesn't seem to explain anything." Zhu Min hung the belt on his shoulder, moved the gun back, and said, "You know, so many submarines are buried in the sea every year for some inexplicable reasons. 1250 meters underwater is already the limit of a military nuclear submarine, and if you are not careful, the boat will explode directly. Didn’t the captain who claimed to be your father just now said that he dived into the deep sea at 2550 meters to avoid a meteor rain? Yet?"
Ji Yao folded the photos, rubbed the edges repeatedly, turned his gaze to Zhu Min's eyes, "Do you believe what he said?"
Zhu Min shrugged his shoulders, showing a reasonable expression, and said to Ji Yao, "We have no reason not to believe it. If he is fabricating the facts, we still have to think about why he has to go to such lengths to lie. He You seem very smart. You should know that lying is the stupidest and easiest way to be exposed. How about you, Santu? I think you must be more distressed than me now, after all, you have to consider more things than any of us .”
"Indeed, I think about more things than any of you." Ji Yao nodded, walked up to Zhu Min, and handed him a few folded photos in his hand, "Even he said he was Ji Songlin I have to think carefully about this matter. Be 70% trustworthy and 30% suspicious of what other people say. You have suffered losses from above, and you know as well as I do what the losses are."
As a result, Zhu Min flipped through the photos one by one. He looked carefully and recognized the faces in the photos one by one.He raised his eyes to look at Ji Yao, lowered his eyelashes and nodded, and said unintentionally: "Does it mean that you were framed and almost burned to death? I'm sorry. But you are right, I know as much as you , I hate that bastard who framed you as much as you do."
"You don't need to hate him deeply, it's not your business." Ji Yao smiled slightly, and picked up the photo frames thrown on the leather seat, "It's because I have such a bad past, So now I don't trust anyone anymore."
"Including Fu Zhong?" Zhu Min asked, he stopped his fingers, looked down at a certain photo, and asked this question almost without thinking.After asking, he pursed his lips, and looked at Ji Yao with a hesitant look as he lowered his head to pack a few black plastic photo frames.
Ji Yao heard Zhu Min ask this question very clearly, he slowed down the movement of his hands at that moment, and the tight lip line eased slightly.But he didn't answer Zhu Min's words right away, and only after a few photo frames were neatly surrendered in his hands did a faint melancholy like the sky before dawn appear in his eyes.He looked down at his gloved hands, twitched his eyelashes, and smiled sadly. "He was different. He always made me... hopeful."
The light from the dining room shone on Ji Yao's shoulders, and his forehead and sideburns were shrouded in a bright and beautiful arc, including his glasses, which made the bridge of his nose straighter and more prominent.When he was silent, his lowered eyebrows and eyes reminded people of the garden in late autumn.
"Well, that's good." Zhu Min said softly, his emotions fluctuating between sympathy and envy, "He is indeed different from most, especially for you. We will find him, for sure. "
Zhu Min expressed his firm determination with an affirmative tone. Although he was not optimistic about the future, his demeanor and expression made him always look complacent, as if he could live a long life and have a bright future. A promising career in medical research.
Ji Yao didn't continue this topic. He pointed to the photo in Zhu Min's hand: "I see that you have been lingering on this photo for a long time. Do you have any thoughts? Do you still believe in what the captain said?"
"No, Santu, it's hard to say. I don't know whether I should believe it or doubt it." Zhu Min weighed it over and over again, gesticulating with unknown reasons, "But I know the person in this photo. This is 2009 I was lucky enough to receive an invitation letter to attend the military parade in 23. It was not easy. I was only [-] years old at the time, and I was still studying for a doctorate. These people were submariners, and the one in the middle should be the captain. If I I remember correctly, they should be the crew of the Chernabog."
Ji Yao took out another one from Zhu Min's hand, tapped a date in the lower right corner of the photo, and there was a circle of wrinkled water stains, and said, "There's another one, don't forget it. A group photo of the officers and soldiers before the submarine went to sea,'cut Bernberg', the time is November 2009. The circle of water damage is obviously formed after being flooded for a long time, the picture is blurry, and there are traces of later restoration. A human face, but traces can still be seen."
Zhu Min pinched the two photos, and twirled a corner of the photos with his fingers. After a long while, he gathered all the photos and put them in Ji Yao's palm: "It's unbelievable."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the dining room, and asked someone to come in with a transparent evidence bag. Ji Yao put the confiscated things into it, and watched the person mark the seal.His right leg began to ache again, burning from heel to crotch.Ji Yao held on to the handles and railings on the wall and walked out, while Zhu Min supported his other arm, reminding him to pay attention to his feet.
Lin Cheng stood on the outer deck of the base, braving the wind and snow to watch the mechanic dismantle the life-saving bell.The sea breeze was blowing from above the submerged pine and birch forests in the distance. His hair was up and down in the cold wind, and the hem of his clothes was rubbed and rustled by the wind, swaying like a black flag rolled up by heavy snow.Lin Cheng put on his hat, pulled up the cashmere scarf to cover his sore ears, held the computer and asked the mechanic loudly: "Is the cover removed? Turn on the air circulation device. There should be a signal behind the circuit board." launcher."
The cold wind poured into his mouth, making his teeth and throat throbbing, but suppressed the urge to cough a bit.He raised his sleeves to block the wind, found a place to sit against the wind, and monitored the signal changes on the computer. Dry snow fell across his face and covered his feet.
When Ji Yao went up, Lin Cheng was walking into the locked door with his computer in his hands. The heat from inside the door eased his breathing slightly, the tip of his nose and chin were frozen hard, the ends of his hair were covered with ice, and the ends of his hair were filled with snow foam. The folds of the scarf.He put a small black box on the table, raised his hand, took off the scarf, shook off the snow, and hung it aside. Xiao Zhuoming stuck the needle into his neck and injected a tube of medicine: "You have been injected with so many antibiotics. Why is the cold medicine not working at all? Do you still feel cold now?"
"It's cold, Dr. Xiao, it's cold to the bone." Lin Cheng said after the needle was pulled out, he pressed the needle hole on his neck, and coughed with his face flushed, "It will be better after the antifreeze injection, After a few hours it was gone and it was getting worse."
"It won't work in a few hours? Impossible, the effective time of the medicine is as long as 72 hours, and all the executives in the base have been injected, and they are all fine now." Xiao Zhuoming glanced at the needle tube, and then tested Lin Cheng's temperature, " Slight fever, but that's not enough?"
The closed door was opened from the outside, and Ji Yao walked in wrapped in snowflakes. A gust of cold wind peeked at the door, blowing in a lot of cool moisture with water droplets.He also took off the scarf when he came in so the snow wouldn't seep into the lining after it melted.He saw Xiao Zhuoming and Lin Cheng standing together, took off his gloves, walked to Lin Cheng's table, and asked, "Is there any problem, Dr. Xiao? Expert Lin, are you feeling better? You have been coughing, and your face is not pale. It's normal. Doctor, I want to see Lin Cheng's medical report at 0779."
"I injected him with antifreeze, and I have injected three injections so far today." Xiao Zhuoming went to the nearby computer to retrieve Lin Cheng's medical report file, "This is not normal, Commander, one I Type II drugs can at least allow people to have enough body functions to withstand the low temperature of minus 72 degrees for 55 hours, and Type II and Type III drugs are even worse. When I went to the North Pole in college, I relied on this drug to complete all the outdoor scientific research .This is the medical report from 0779, written by all the medical officers in the base, including Dr. Zhu Min behind you."
"It turns out that Dr. Xiao has been to the North Pole for scientific research. I just found out today for the first time. Did he go with Professor Yang Qihua? The professor has also been to the North Pole, more than once." Ji Yao quickly browsed the content of the report, Lin Chengzheng took the hot water from Zhu Min.
Xiao Zhuoming went to the other side to take off his cotton-padded jacket, held it in his hand, and said: "It is true that I went with Professor Yang. He is my teacher. We are going to investigate the creatures in the Arctic, especially the creatures in the deep sea. I have been there before." I stayed there once for about four and a half months. After tracking the creatures on the Arctic land ice sheets, I took the deep-sea research submarine "Achilles" to circle the Arctic Ocean, and I gained a lot."
"Did you see a mermaid?" Zhu Min asked suddenly, he completely forgot about the bad things about fighting with Xiao Zhuoming, and became curious, "Arctic sea purple scale mermaid, I remember it very clearly, it was a big news that caused a sensation in the biological world."
"Of course not, Doctor Zhu, do you think I will always be favored by the god of luck like you? Don't even think about it. After going around a circle, I didn't find a trace of a mermaid, but I found a mountain of mermaid in the basin of the seabed. plesiosaur fossils. Why, Doctor Zhu, are you going to see the plesiosaur cemetery?" Xiao Zhuoming glanced at Zhu Min, and they always confronted each other every time they met, "But this scientific expedition gave me the biggest reward. The biggest change is that I have a cold-resistant physique and muscles that are different from ordinary people."
She rolled up the sleeves of her white gown, hung it on her shoulders, and bent her arms to reveal her strong biceps and brachioradialis.Muscles are lean, tight, iron-hard, explosive and aggressive, but not overly exaggerated and bulky, and complement her figure perfectly.
Zhu Min stared at Xiao Zhuoming's arm for a while. It was this hand that beat him to death a few days ago. Although Zhu Min didn't fight back very hard because he upholds the noble quality of not hitting women, he was still amazed. Doctor Xiao Zhuoming's ability to fight.
After Ji Yao finished reading the report, he raised his eyes to see the two people who were at war, curled his lips, and said, "Oh, it's really full of gunpowder."
"Commander, have you finished reading the report?" Xiao Zhuoming didn't intend to look at Zhu Min any longer, she easily put down her sleeves, put on her padded jacket outside, and buttoned it up, "Do you think there is something wrong?"
"Of course there are problems, and there are problems everywhere. For example, here, the diagnosis results of each of your medical officers are almost the same, saying that expert Lin just has a cold and fever, including Xinghe's diagnosis and treatment machine. But is this really the case? I don't doubt it. I'm just a little confused about your professional ability. After all, Expert Lin looks so bad that he can't even stay outdoors for too long."
"We are also very distressed, Commander, if you don't believe me, you can ask Zhu Min. The medical officers of the entire base have held meetings to discuss the condition of expert Lin, consulted in groups, and even invited a mechanic to repair the medical machine. But I don't know Something went wrong, but it was everywhere."
Ji Yao frowned, pressed Lin Cheng's head lightly, and leaned down to check his expression.Lin Cheng raised his red eyes to look at him, his thin cheeks and haggard eyes showed that he was not having a good time these days, blood was oozing from his lips that had been cracked by the cold wind, and it seemed that he could not stop, and the scabs formed very slowly.Zhu Min pulled Lin Cheng's wrist and took off his gloves, revealing his thin hands covered with red and blue bloodshot skin, wrinkled and cracked due to lack of water.
"Extreme lack of vitamin C caused scurvy, bruises appeared on the fingertips, and there were blood spots and blood spots under the skin." Zhu Min looked at Lin Cheng's fingers and said, "We added a lot of vitamins to him, but his condition still didn't improve. It can only slow down the rate of deterioration.”
Ji Yao raised his hand to stop Zhu Min from continuing, and helped Lin Cheng put on his gloves.At this time, he heard the sound of the sea wind whistling outside, and the slightly whitish sea water roared angrily in the distance, but it sounded like an uncomfortable cry.
"You'll be fine, Lin Cheng." Ji Yao said, he didn't express any blame or hypocrisy, and he didn't look gloomy because of the mourning of the sea, "Don't be too tired these days, rest more, and try to make yourself happy Get up. We've got to be optimistic."
Lin Cheng's eyes were hot, and his cough filled him with tears. After wiping away the tears, he squeezed out a faint smile and said, "I will get better. Although I don't know what disease I have, even The antifreeze is gone."
Ji Yao pursed his lips, he blinked twice, raised his head and looked around the trembling flag outside the window, and the dirty seabirds that stayed on the railing of the base for food almost all the time.The wind scurry through the fog, running in a panic and whirring.
Finally he decided not to continue this disturbing topic, and asked something else: "Is this the signal transmitter from the life-saving bell? Orange?"
"Yes, the little thing is at fault. It is still sending out signals up to now, once every two seconds, a single word." Lin Cheng showed it to Ji Yao, "Now the signal can't be detected in the sea, so we found it before The signal below the surface of the sea is this."
He drew a circle on the computer screen, then turned off the transmitter, and the signal fluctuations disappeared.Ji Yao tapped his fingers and said, "No, the exact location of the signal source has not been detected before, and you also said that 'every water molecule in the entire ocean is emitting a signal'. How does this little thing do? Arrived?"
"I don't know, Commander, and I don't have a precise answer to this. But I guess there is probably another diverging device that can disperse the electrical signal into the water, making each water molecule a small emission source. "
"That's insane. Do you know what contraption you would use to do that?"
"A set of complex amplification, transmission and conversion devices, probably similar to the signal transduction mechanism in living organisms?" Lin Cheng said, "You have to ask the captain for details."
"Well, I see, thank you, Expert Lin. If you are really unwell, you can go back to the cabin to rest. Minimize going out as much as possible, it's too cold outside."
Ji Yao left the room after exhorting a few words. Outside, he asked Xiao Zhuoming about Lin Cheng's specific situation: "Don't discuss this kind of thing in front of him in the future, even if it's really sick and dying Now, you have to pretend nothing happened. Don't disturb the morale of the army and lower the morale."
"His endocrine system is also disturbed, which affects his mood and behavior. His immune function is weakened, and the blood sample is reported here. The situation is getting worse." Xiao Zhuoming handed the document to Ji Yao, "It does not belong to any disease I have seen. Zhu Min , what do you say?"
"My thoughts are the same as Dr. Xiao's. The veteran doctors with the most experience in the medical team are helpless about this. The biologists have also seen it and shook their heads. I'm afraid it will affect his brain and nervous system in the end. If that happens, it will be really troublesome. gone."
"Is it a virus infection?" Ji Yao asked, "A new type of virus that has never been seen on Earth?"
"At present, no pathogens have been detected in his body, including AIDS virus. If it is a virus, it is simple. Xinghe can inject a dedicated nano-robot corresponding to the virus into his body to eliminate all viruses and their genetic material in a targeted manner, which is convenient and efficient. Marburg and other highly infectious viruses are no problem."
Zhu Min flipped through a few report papers, thought about it, and said to Ji Yao: "All his organs are aging rapidly, arteriosclerosis, blood vessel blockage, high blood pressure, liver cirrhosis... But it is obvious that he was very Health, this is his physical examination report when he entered the reserve team of the retrospective plan, and all indicators are on the pass line. But he drank a lot, which may be one of the causes of liver cirrhosis. But it is not so short He showed bad symptoms in a short period of time, how old is he, think about it."
"Since when did he start showing symptoms?"
"At the time of the volcanic tsunami, it is said that the rocks from the volcanic eruption smashed the glass of the monitoring platform, and the waves poured in. He was almost drowned. He couldn't swim, and he had to desperately save his computer... It's not a good thing anyway. He said it himself."
Ji Yao stepped on the heels of his shoes, but didn't make a sound. He knew that Lin Cheng couldn't swim, but it wasn't a job that he had to do to swim.He had a brief conversation with the two doctors, asked them to pay attention to Lin Cheng's condition, and then took a copy of the report.
"After the ash covered the sky, the day was almost fleeting. The long smoke cloud was torn into slivers by the flustered wind, and continued to the top of the mountain locked in darkness. The lights of the base ran out to the sea. on the ice floe, and finally got behind the towering dam and disappeared at the foot of the bare volcano. Looking far away, the mess after the eruption continued until the place where the eyes disappeared. The forest that had grown for 1 years This ruined once, I don't know how long it will take to see this land come back to life..." Ji Yao wrote while sitting in his rest cabin after nightfall, leaning on the cold pillow , The open marching diary under the pen is brightly illuminated by the warm yellow light.
There are windows in his rest cabin, and he is leaning on the chair by the window at this time, using the short leisure time after a brief dinner to record the day's experiences.With an electronic log recorder next to it, Ji Yao will report the process of commanding the battle in detail.
Finally, when he wrote Fu Zhong, he held the fountain pen and stayed on a certain line for a long time, but he didn't write for a long time.He held a cigarette in his left hand, and the smoke lingered in the cabin, quietly shining with silver light.Ji Yao's eyelashes drooped, and his two lips held the cigarette. The tobacco dilutes his anxiety, but makes him fall into lethargy.Looking up at the deserted scene outside the window, the darkness seemed to be sinking into the bottom of the sea, and snowflakes covered every part of the base.
His face was reflected in the windowpane, and the red eye sockets showed that he was not happy yesterday, and he is not much better today.He has not touched cigarettes for a long, long time, and he only smokes when he is extremely depressed and irritable, letting nicotine paralyze his nerves, so that he will no longer feel pain.But today is different, in the thicker and thicker smell of tobacco, his miss for Fu Zhong only increased, and this also aggravated his loneliness.
Finally, he stubbed out the cigarette butt, put down the pen, put it in the diary, and stuffed it into the lower drawer.He moved his leg, and the pain was severe, like a knife cutting.After tying up the belt of his coat, he walked out the door with his cane on his hands, and went around the watchtower before going to Zhu Min's place.
"Keep an eye on you at night, and don't let sleepy bugs get into your noses." Ji Yao said to the sentinel, stepping on the rustling snow as he walked over, with the wind blowing on his shoulders, "I hope your eyes are sharper than Xinghe's." .”
Ji Yao stood on the watchtower for a while, looking at the restless and sleepy sea water all around, and on top of all this was the dark blue sky.Just as he was about to leave, an executive stopped him from behind: "Commander."
"Do you have anything to say?" Ji Yao turned around and asked him. He was wearing a commander's hat. The giant eagle tree on the hat wall was shining brightly under the light, and the brim of the hat had been covered with a thin layer of snow.
The executive hesitated - apparently he had hesitated all day - and at last he said: "After thinking about it, I still feel compelled to report this little discovery to you. In two seconds, I saw two fires in the telescope."
Ji Yao frowned when he heard the words, and his eyebrows were also touched: "What did you say? Two fires? What fire?"
"Yes, Commander, I saw a golden flame, like two balls of fire burning in mid-air, I can assure you that it is not the light of a submarine's navigation lights." The executive was a little nervous, and his tone became hasty, "It only showed up in my binoculars for two seconds, and when I went back to look for it, I couldn't find it anymore, and then I saw the forecastle of the submarine coming out of the water."
"Is it floating in mid-air? How far is it from us? Is it in front or behind the submarine? Are there any other abnormal phenomena?" Ji Yao asked, his tone was severe, and he stared into the eyes of the executive, "Why don't you put Report this situation earlier?!"
"It floats in mid-air, about 100 meters above the sea surface. The distance cannot be determined because it is shrouded in fog. It is behind the submarine. No other abnormalities were observed, and it disappeared too quickly." The executive swallowed his throat, Standing at attention, "At that time, I thought it was because I was dazzled, so I didn't dare to report it, because false reporting of the situation violated the "Regulations."
"Then why do you dare now?"
The executioner's fingers trembled slightly. I don't know whether it was because of the cold or other reasons. He lowered his neck and replied, "Because I think those two balls of fire are a bit like... a bit like the one we met before. Something... Dragon. I don't think I was wrong, so I decided to report to the higher authorities. I'm sorry, Commander, I didn't provide the information in time, and I am willing to be punished."
Ji Yao looked into the executive's eyes, expressionless, he was colder than the cold wind at sea.After warning and severely criticizing the executive, Ji Yao ordered him to receive the punishment with extreme restraint, and then left the watchtower with only a few lights on, covered in snowflakes all over his body.
Zhu Min helped Ji Yao remove the bandages and medicines on his legs. Ji Yao sat on a slightly higher table, leaning on the edge of the table, took off his hat and put it aside, the snowflakes on it had not been brushed off.With one leg crossed, he looked down at Zhu Min carefully pressing the internal bone detection interface on his calf, and then squatted down to carefully treat the congealed blood around the wound for him. The computer next to him displayed the shape of the metal frame that fixed the bone.
When Zhu Min's cleaning agent was on the side of the kneecap, he looked up at Ji Yao and asked, "Is that man named Ji Songlin really your father? He even knew that my dead father's name was Zhu Shili, and He looks just like you."
Ji Yao smiled, her gaze stayed on Zhu Min's hand, and she said softly, "I don't know. I hope he is, and I hope he isn't."
"If he is really Ji Songlin and your father, why does he turn a blind eye to your wounded and festered legs?" Zhu Min said, cleaning up the pus from Ji Yao's wound.
Ji Yao didn't speak, he just leaned forward, hiding his brows and eyes in a faint shadow.Zhu Min didn't force him to answer. After throwing away a cotton swab, he stood up and wiped his hands, and talked about something else: "There is a man named Gao Yanwen at the Geological Observatory, a student of Professor Geng Shuming. He has an amazing Invention, molecular smasher, I also went to study with him on the improvement and application of this kind of thing. It’s really amazing, I really don’t know how he made this kind of thing.”
"What about specifics?"
"He made a model and did a small experiment. A beam of electric current was fired, and then the beam of current could instantly wrap the lead block, break the structural molecules that make up the lead block, break them apart, and then the lead block was It disappeared. There was no scum or powder left, it disappeared out of thin air, without even making a little noise or a spark, just like that, it quietly turned into various molecules and dissipated in the air."
Ji Yao listened quietly to Zhu Min's narration, and nodded after he finished speaking: "It is indeed a remarkable invention. If this technology is applied to the military, it is expected to produce super new weapons, and it will be an unimaginable war."
"Oh, what I want is to combine this technology with Dr. Xiao Zhuoming's remodeling chamber. If successful, this machine will be able to cure all diseases in the world, including cancer, AIDS, and any new virus infection. We will It is no longer necessary to study virus-specific attack nano-robots. Molecular smashing technology can accurately eliminate all lesions without distinction, reshape damaged tissues, and bring new treatment options to many incurable diseases. I dare say that if I really research this thing Already... how do you say it? I don't go after fame and fortune, I want fame and fortune to come to me."
"I don't go to the moon, I want the moon to come to me." Ji Yao corrected him, "Audrey Hepburn's words."
"Well, that's about it. Thinking of this, I feel like I have a bright future again."
The non-commissioned officer in boots walked out of the elevator, shaking off the cold air all over his body, and glanced left and right. There were people standing guard in the circular portholes on both sides.Outside the window of the porthole, the dark sea water was blown up by the wind, forming a sparkling waterfall, hitting the ice floes, and splashing snow-white water.
The sergeant hurriedly glanced out the window, turned his head and went down to the first floor of the bottom cabin.This floor is above the bilge weapon system, a place no one wants to step into, because standing on both sides of a narrow and dark corridor are confinement rooms with locked iron doors.
But very few people are actually imprisoned here, because Ji Yao is not used to throwing people into the confinement room at any time, he is used to settling accounts after the mission is over, and many people are afraid of him.The sergeant opened the door at the end of the corridor and greeted the two guards inside.
"Is it inside?" the sergeant asked, he lifted the document in the transparent bag and shook it, "The commander asked me to bring someone, he wants to see the captain."
Opening the small rectangular window on the door, the sergeant took a look inside. There was a light inside, and it seemed that the person was not asleep.Ji Songlin was taking off the last lining of his upper body, revealing his muscles, which made him at least 20 years younger.The non-commissioned officers couldn't believe that people in their 50s were as tall as young executives like them.
"Put on your clothes, the commander wants to see you." The sergeant opened the door and said, with handcuffs in his hands through a layer of iron fence.
Ji Songlin was taking the lining off his arm, looking back at the non-commissioned officer, his half-naked upper body was exposed to the light, and his chest, abdominal and arm muscles immediately stood out.The sergeant noticed that there were tattoos on Ji Songlin's body. One was on his upper right arm, and he couldn't tell what kind of tattoo it was; the other was on his lower abdomen, which was half covered by the belt at the waist of his trousers, and the exposed half was a pair of eagles. The wings are tattooed along the tight mermaid lines.
After staring at each other for a second or two, Ji Songlin lowered his head and straightened his clothes, put them on, tied them into his belt, then wrapped up his long coat, and tucked the scarf into his collar: "I'm just about to go to sleep."
