Chapter 13: edge

I immediately stared at Zhang Hui's hand.

The night was dark and I felt that the sleeves of his jacket were a little long and he couldn't see his hands.

I instinctively took two steps back and distanced myself from him.

In 1980, why did scientist Peng Jiamu disappear? He just went out to find water and never came back.

In 2001, why did the Wang team member who was looking for potassium mine disappear? At that time, another truck did not follow and seemed to have broken down halfway. He went back along the way to search, and there was no news since then.

In 2009, why did the Uyghur driver Kasmu disappear? He left everyone alone and walked around the neighborhood, but never returned...

If Zhang Hui suddenly showed off his knife, stabbed me to death, and buried me in the sand, then I would be missing.

Wherever humans live, if the murderer kills people, the body cannot be handled. No matter where they are hidden, they will be discovered sooner or later. The Gobi Desert is different, with nameless corpses everywhere, and no one can check them.

Moreover, no matter in the city or the countryside, if a person disappears for no reason, the police will definitely file a case for investigation, and the case will not be closed if the murderer is not caught.

However, this is a vast no-man's land. It is very common for a person to be missing. Even if he sent a helicopter to rescue him, he could not see the figure, so he would return...

I asked in a low voice, "Why are you not asleep yet?"

He said: "I'm a little excited and can't sleep. I want to say something from my heart..."

I said softly: "You said."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Don't look at me as a policeman, in fact, I have not been a brave person since I was a child, and I didn't even dare to walk alone at night. I have been looking for opportunities to exercise my courage and courage."

I didn't say anything.

He continued: "When I was in junior high school, I heard of Lop Nur. I was afraid and yearning for...Boss Zhou, I know you don't trust me. Now, I come to you to communicate in person and say these words in my heart. In fact, it is my progress."

I still don't speak.

He continued: "I know that the reason why you don't trust me is because I don't have an ID card. Boss Zhou, we are in the no-man's land, not coming to the military parade. The ID card is just a proof of us as social people, and for Lop Nur, we are just 11 living creatures."

It's too dark.

I don't want to talk to him anymore.

I suddenly said, "Go to sleep, we will still have to rush to the road tomorrow."

He was stunned and said, "...Okay."

I didn't move.

He confronted me for a while, then stepped down the hill and walked towards the tent.

Only then did I take a step.

He suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "Boss Zhou, my shoulder bag is still in your tent."

I said, "The juice is asleep, come and get it tomorrow morning."

He said, "Then... I'll get it again tomorrow morning."

I watched him get into the tent and then returned to my own tent.

Juice was indeed asleep.

I inserted the metal bolt on the door curtain in the dark, then carefully walked around my guitar and got into the sleeping bag.

I couldn't sleep, and recalled the video just now in the sound of the wolf crying and howling wind.

Since the beginning, the atmosphere of the four people has been a little dull, without the tension and excitement of adventurers. After arriving at the center of Lop Nur, they were still very calm, as if they came to Lop Nur just to accomplish something...

After analyzing for a long time, I had no clue.

Then, I began to think about every sentence Zhang Hui said.

He seems to be very sincere.

If he is really a fake policeman, then this person's scheming is unfathomable. He has been dealing with the police in prison for many years and has strong disguise ability. But I am not a policeman and cannot be his opponent...

As I thought about it, I finally fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, I was awakened by a harsh voice: "Ph!"

No, it's two tones.

The first sound woke me up, and then I heard another sound: "Bang!"

This sound is right in my ears.

I got up in panic, touched the emergency light, and turned it on.

Juice woke up, she shrank into her sleeping bag, revealing only a round face, like a baby: "What's wrong!"

I looked at the guitar - broke two strings.

Anyone who plays guitar knows that the six strings of guitar are: e string, a string, d string, g string, b string, and e string.

The broken strings are strings a and strings b.

This is another strange thing I encountered on this trip.

I said, "The guitar strings are broken, I'm sorry..."

She muttered, "I thought it could only make music, but I didn't expect it to make noise!" Then she turned over and continued to sleep.

I turned off the emergency lights and the tent fell into darkness again.

I listened carefully to the breath of Yuer. She didn't sound any, and I couldn't tell whether she was asleep.

My guitar has been with me for more than ten years and has never broken the strings. And these six strings were replaced before departure, so why did they suddenly break?

Moreover, if you break a string, it was accidental. On the night before entering Lop Nur, two strings were broken one after another at almost the same time! This is impossible to understand.

I didn't want to think too much, so I closed my eyes and wanted to fall asleep quickly.

The wind kept going, and the mountains were whistling. I was really afraid that it would lift the entire tent into the air, just like "Flying House Travel".

I slept extremely badly that night.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly woke up again.

There was darkness around.

Are all the tents safe?

I pricked up my ears and listened diagonally opposite. It was Xu Ergo, the tent where Zhang Hui was sleeping.

The sound of strong wind was everywhere in my ears.

As I listened, I suddenly felt another sound hidden in the wind, very thin and weak.

The wind is so loud, how could I hear such a weak voice? I immediately realized that this weak voice was right in front of me!

That was the sound of the juice breathing.

Then, I saw a black shadow sitting opposite me, at most one foot away from me.

I shivered: "Juice..."

The black shadow seemed to be retreating gently and finally disappeared in the darkness.

I'm not sure if I'm dazzled. When a person is in the dark, he often sees whatever he imagines. In fact, it's a complete illusion.

If it was juice, why did she crawl out of her sleeping bag in the middle of the night and sit in the dark and stare at me?

She wants to have sex with me?

Even if I am self-indulgent, I will not be so stupid.

I turned my body to her and tried to widen my eyes, but I still couldn't see anything.

My thinking slowly returned to the guitar. Is God hinting at me?

I broke two strings for no reason...

Four strings left...

e string, d string, g string, e string...

e,d,g,e...

Four letters.

Four letters!

In English, edge is a sharp blade!

I suddenly remembered that Zhang Hui's bag fell into my tent, maybe there was a pig-killing knife hidden inside.

I gently crawled out of the sleeping bag, touched it everywhere, and finally touched his shoulder bag, which was very heavy. I reached into it and touched a lot of miscellaneous things. At the bottom of the shoulder bag, I really touched a knife, which was very sharp and almost cut my hand!

He is wearing a short knife!

In Korla, when I proposed to buy a knife, he did not lift his knife.

A policeman may have a gun and handcuffs when he goes out, but it is impossible to have a knife!

Who is he?

I slowly retracted my hand and suddenly felt something was wrong. I touched a bunch of furry things outside my shoulder bag, which were embroidered flowers.
Chapter completed!
