Shen Shizhen

Chapter 131 The Pendulum

Ji Chuan felt sorry for having his dream interrupted.

But when Ji Chuan opened his eyes, he realized that he was no longer in the glass enclosure full of intubations, and the first person he saw was not wearing that disgusting white coat.

Ji Chuan realized that he was being carried on his back, and he recognized it before his body senses returned.

The slightly stiff brown hair that catches the eye is much longer than he remembered, covering most of the back of his neck. He is not unfamiliar with the strong and broad shoulders under his chin.

Ji Chuan was so weak now that he couldn't raise his head at all, so he could only press on the man's shoulder and whisper softly: "Ai Fan..."

This call was so breathless that Ai Fan was stunned before he realized that Ji Chuan had just called his name.

When he saw Ji Chuan from outside the glass cover for the first time, he was covered with a white cloth, and the thin cannula protruding from it made him startled, while his Chuan Chuan was sleeping soundly on that bed with his eyes closed. , was not awakened by his own movements at all.

Ivan swiped open the cylindrical glass cover with Sator's card, trying to wake up Ji Chuan, who was being slaughtered at the moment, but failed to get a response.

He didn't know what those people did to his Ji Chuan, and he didn't dare to shake him awake rashly. After calling a few times but it didn't work, he had to put him on his back.

"Chuan Chuan?" Ai Fan responded lightly, without any intention of stopping.

Ji Chuan's bare feet stuck in his waist swayed in the air following Ai Fan's steps, but he couldn't feel the jolt at all.

He watched Ivan lead him through one laboratory passage after another that he had never seen before, and smiled: "I just said how those people would wake me up."

Ai Fan felt pain in his heart, but he didn't bother to ask him what those people did to him: "You lost a lot of weight, can you get down and walk by yourself?"

After all, it is not as convenient for two people to move with him behind his back.

Ji Chuan couldn't even lift his head from Ai Fan's shoulder, but he didn't say too much: "No, I can't exert myself after lying down for a long time."

Ji Chuan found that he had passed several laboratories along the way, but he didn't even see a single person, and those white coats who had been tirelessly shuttling through the experimental base were all missing.

Ivan stopped in front of a door, inserted the magnetic card he had been holding into the reader, and the door opened with a sound.

"Where are they?" Ji Chuan's voice was soft without any strength.

Ai Fan could tell that Ji Chuan was reluctant to speak now: "Xma stole Sator's card, and it was Millie who gave it to me."

Hearing Millie's name suddenly, Ji Chuan was both surprised and happy, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong: "How could a child like Millie give you the card..."

During these days, Ji Chuan only slept and got injections, and he didn't even eat a mouthful of hot food. He didn't know what happened outside.

Although he often used them to inquire about people's news, those people kept silent, and Ji Chuan didn't know anything other than knowing that everyone was still alive.

Seeing that Ai Fan didn't speak, Ji Chuan felt nervous: "What did they do to you during this time? I only saw Carter once, and he looked very bad."

Ai Fan signaled him to be relieved: "They didn't do anything, they just locked me up, and we'll see Carter after turning two more corners."

To be honest, Ji Chuan was very confused. Ai Fan's non-stop pace seemed to be very familiar with this base: "Why do you..."

But before he finished asking, Ai Fan yelled to stop: "Shh - there is someone."

As soon as the words were finished, Ai Fan leaned back against the wall, sandwiching Ji Chuan between himself and the wall.

Within a few seconds, footsteps were heard not far from the corner. Ai Ji and the two dared not show their anger, and watched helplessly as the man walked quickly from the side of the aisle holding the recording board in his hand without lifting his head. past.

It was only here that Ji Chuan noticed the pinhole on Ai Fan's neck covered by his long hair with an inadvertent tilt of his head, and his heart ached, but he didn't dare to disturb Ai Fan who was seriously investigating the situation.

The next two turns are not as easy as the previous ones, and you have to stop every few steps.

Ji Chuan found that Ai Fan could avoid the scientific researchers who suddenly appeared from nowhere every time, as if someone had been guiding him, but he was lying on Ai Fan's shoulders, and Ai Fan's ears He knows better than anyone whether there are headphones in the bag.

What makes Ji Chuan even more puzzled is that Ai Fan can find a suitable hiding place to hide in these complicated passages every time. If he hadn't walked ten times, he would not be familiar with this place at all. At this point, how is this possible...

During such a short distance, the two walked abruptly for almost half an hour. During this time, Ai Fan was looking for Carter wholeheartedly, and Ji Chuan couldn't do much to help him, except for quietly lying on Ai Fan's back, he was looking for Ai Fan wholeheartedly. With the pinhole in his neck, he didn't even have a chance to ask him if he was tired.

Ai Fan stopped without warning, and suddenly stood at the door of a room in the middle of the passage. There was no sign on the door, and the front and back sides were all identical mechanical doors, so that Ji Chuan had no idea why Ai Fan concluded that this was the case. This is where Carter was imprisoned.

Ai Fan looked back and forth apprehensively, and after confirming that no one was passing by, he gently put the person on his back on the ground and leaned against the door: "How do you feel now? Can you move?"

Ji Chuan wanted to shake his head to show that he was fine, but he still couldn't move a single finger. The whole figure was like a doll. As soon as he left Ai Fan's hand, he uncontrollably fell sideways against the sliding wall to the ground.

Ai Fan frowned fiercely, he didn't expect that Ji Chuan couldn't use any strength, even sitting against the wall, he couldn't sit still, and he half knelt down to straighten him upright again with a gloomy heart.

Ji Chuan couldn't see what Ai Fan was doing, the two faced each other, Ji Chuan's body leaned forward on Ai Fan's shoulders, Ai Fan wrapped his arms around his thinned body, and struggled with a wire behind his back , hand and mouth.

In fact, Ji Chuan felt that it was okay for him to lie on the ground for a while, so he said softly, "Don't worry about me."

Ai Fan ignored him, twisted the wire a few more times before saying to Ji Chuan: "You lean on my lap first, I have to stand up and open the door."

Ji Chuan can't, he can't move now, it's up to Ai Fan whether he depends or not.

Ji Chuan was not idle when Ai Fan opened the door, he kept scanning the ends of the aisle from the corner of his eye, and asked him, "How do you know Carter is here?"

"Millie told me." Evan said without stopping, and was carefully looking for the emergency switch that Millie told him along the crack of the door.

Later, Ai Fan explained to Ji Chuan that in fact, this switch is similar to the principle of pressing the SD card out of some mobile phones today. Just push something into the hole to open the door, but this door is a little more complicated. There are three in total. The holes with different spacing must be pressed at the same time to be effective.

This is a second-hand preparation for the failure of the password to open the door due to a series of electronic information problems such as power outages. What Ai Fan has been screwing just now is the distance between these three holes.

But after waiting for a long time, Ai Fan couldn't open the door with the wire that he broke into a shape similar to the letter "E".

Now the surrounding area is quiet, Ji Chuan can even hear the sound of the wire sliding up and down in the crack of the door, but after a while he heard another voice, Ji Chuan's heart tightened again, the voice was extremely suppressed by him: " Someone is coming! Are you okay?"

Ji Chuan leaned on Ai Fan's lap and was a little anxious, and Ai Fan naturally heard footsteps, and the movements of his hands became even more tense for a while.

He has already aligned two holes, and the distance of the last hole needs to be adjusted, just a little bit.

The footsteps were getting closer and clearer, Ji Chuan's heart was in his throat, and beads of sweat even appeared on the tip of Ai Fan's nose.

But both of them knew that the matter had come to this point, and there was no other way out except to open the door and hide in.

In the sound of approaching footsteps, after finally hearing a light "click" sound from above his head, the nerves in Ji Chuan's brain were almost disconnected.

Ai Fan didn't say a word, didn't care what was inside the door, and carried Ji Chuan, who was still leaning on his lap, into the room, at least he escaped a catastrophe.

The room was pitch black, and the two of them couldn't see anything. Ji Chuan really doubted whether Carter was locked up here without seeing any light.

After the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, Ai Fan was relieved to find where the light switch was.

Just as I was about to reach out to the wall next to the door and start groping, I was startled by a voice suddenly coming from the room: "It's on the left, next to your head."

Although his voice was a little hoarse, Ji Chuan could hear it immediately, and immediately said, "Carter?"

As soon as Ji Chuan finished speaking, Ai Fan pressed the switch next to his head in response, and the room was brightly lit.

Finally arrived at the private space, Ji Chuan and Ai Fan both had a lot of questions that needed time and place to talk to each other, but when they saw the situation in front of them clearly, they couldn't say a word for a while.
