Chapter 837 The Entomologist Goes Home

There was one thing Jania had never seen since she was born.She's seen pedophiles and murderers, crackheads and real gangsters.She had seen so much danger that even Malcolm said she had a magnet for trouble hidden in her body.But even so, there was still something she couldn't imagine, and that was her mother crying.As long as she could remember, her mother had always been a tenacious and difficult person, a person who gave opponents a headache.She had seen her mother become manic and irritable in the face of setbacks, but she had never seen her show weakness.However, that kind of thing did happen, and that kind of thing only existed in her brother's memory.

There is a theory that mothers are more likely to prefer their firstborns.That's not necessarily true, but Jania sometimes feels that Yu Qingshu treats her brother differently from her.There was a tacit bond between them based on trauma.While Jania and the mother were arguing straight-forward, the mother and son would steer away from each other in front of something invisible, as if there was a wound Jania couldn't see—her brother was doing well, of course.It can be seen from all sides that he has not been treated badly on the other side.

Does she love her brother?There is no doubt about it, just as Hannah loves her sister.But on the other hand, her brother hadn't grown up with her, and he wasn't Malcolm's child.At least half of him was unknown to Jania.What if they were not related at all?Do they still care about each other?she does not know.Maybe nothing will change, maybe everything will be different.They used to quarrel a lot too.However, if he disappeared, or died.How sad her mother would be.It would have been too hard for Jania to imagine, and she didn't like to think about it.

Realizing that Zhou Wenxing also had a brother was Jania's breakthrough.She had known this for a long time, but she had not regarded it as a particularly noteworthy matter at first.Life, animals, and human beings are all the same on the scale of nature.The common ground can be infinitely excavated, exaggerated and praised infinitely, but most of the common ground is meaningless.Two very similar people can also despise each other and firmly believe that they are incompatible with each other.

However, Jania felt that the key point of this matter was to grasp and imagine the main features.She doesn't quite believe in souls or spirits yet, or that people have some kind of indestructible "quality," but she knows that people must have motives in their actions.Motivation is often prior to rules and regulations, and it is closely related to instinctive desires, which are closer to the "essence of the soul" than character.That is to say, if you know what a man's main motives are for acting, you also have an idea of ​​what he's going to do—whether wisely or not is another matter.

The famous detective Dubois began to study Zhou Wenxing slowly along the path of motivation.To understand an object that is quite different from oneself? Need an entry point.A foothold that allows people to change positions and put themselves in their shoes.For the famous detective Dubois, the long-term worry about her sick brother is a shortcut for her to approach Zhou Wenxing.She ran out tonight because of him.What about Zhou Wenxing?If this strange young man was also on his journey for his brother, all his seemingly doubtful actions revolved around a meaningful purpose.She couldn't see what it was yet, because she didn't know his brother well.She has not been able to see through the facts that connect behavior and motivation.

So what about starting from herself?She also has an older brother.Her brother was indeed a sick man.And if she wanted to make him "normal," or rather, keep him from the temptation of death, what would she do?She wanted him to see a doctor, that was easy--but if she wanted to send him to a psychiatric clinic or a counseling room, she first needed him to admit that he had a problem, to get him into therapy and help.For her brother to face himself, to bring that sick, disguised personality into the light of day, and then they could actually begin therapy.However, her brother's illness is probably not an organic disease, which is very different from a disease that causes high fever and hallucinations.What kind of disease did Zhou Wenxing's elder brother suffer from?Has he recovered?Or become some kind of permanent disease?A cliff of intelligence crossed her path, and she had to find a new bridge to continue.

"What kind of person is your brother?" she asked Zhou Wenxing.

She felt that Zhou Wenxing was surprised by her question.He looked at her from outside the raft, as if seeing her for the first time.But he hadn't looked at strangers so much when they first met.

"It's hard to put it into words," he said. "He used to be a nice guy, but that could just be that he didn't show himself to outsiders. He felt obligated to some important tasks, but look It seemed he was quite mistaken."

"What mission is that?"

"Something like renovating an old building. Getting out of the old building what doesn't fit."

Jania was confused for a moment.This answer is too specific to sound like a lie.But that sounded like something Malcolm was doing.

"Is that his...his main job?"

"It's not anymore. Because of the long recuperation."

"He's still sick. How is he doing?"

"It has stabilized." Zhou Wenxing said.

"That means he hasn't recovered yet?"

"probably."

"Then... what's the problem with his illness? Is he still running a fever? Or hallucinations?"

Zhou Wenxing tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Have you ever seen a person who fantasizes that he is a plant? He will squat by the wall every day without moving, as if waiting for the sun and rain."

Paranoia.Jania took a step towards the other side of the precipice.Zhou Wenxing did not shy away from talking about her brother's illness, which she did not expect.But then Zhou Wenxing asked back: "What do you think of your brother?"

"what?"

"What do you think your brother is like?"

"He... he's not bad. He's a nice guy, and he takes care of me a lot."

Jania answered vaguely.Zhou Wenxing acted as if he knew she wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't get to the bottom of it, just kept that uncomfortable smile.Jania told herself again that maybe it was prejudice.If she saw Zhou Wenxing on the shore, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable, but seeing a living person floating on the sea like a ghost, the feeling is completely different.He still had an arm that was so horribly damaged.He is a real superpower who has been to so many places.It is not certain whether he can still be regarded as a human being, but he must have experienced many dangers.

—He must have been through a lot of danger.

Jania stopped pacing in Dubois' imagination studio.When a terrible inspiration came suddenly, she seemed to hear thunder rumbling above her head.

The noise of the tide had completely disappeared.For a long time, she stared at Zhou Wenxing with all her attention.He looked at her too, and seemed to understand what she was thinking.Do not.Do not.Do not.He just got it.He knew it from the beginning.

Jania said, "He shot you."

When she revealed the answer, Jania felt that there seemed to be approval in Zhou Wenxing's smile.But that could just be her desire to be right misreading her.She didn't have time to verify further, because Chirabin spoke up behind the scenes.

"Oh," Chilabin said cheerfully, "It's thundering."

Jania initially took it as a metaphor for the atmosphere, like saying it's the calm before the storm.But soon she found that Chilabin was just stating the facts.The dull thunder did not originate from her imaginary processing, but actually resounded through the sky.

She looked up a little surprised.She had checked the weather forecast in the afternoon, but she did not remember a thunderstorm tonight.The weather this year is really abnormal, but she thought the weather forecast for that day would be more accurate.

Thunderstorm is coming.There are far and near, rolling endlessly.Jania hadn't figured out how they were going to protect the raft, and the rain was already hitting her cheek.In an instant, the entire sky was pale, and the lightning flashed across the sky like a giant's sword.Jania seemed to have never seen such a violent and huge lightning in her life, and even made her think that the thing was a monster made of white electricity.When she lowered her head, she saw a dark city wall rising from the sea.It was a combination of storm and wave, rushing to her in a blink of an eye from the unreachable sky.She could hear nothing and see nothing save the roar of the thunder and the roar of the sea back.

Her body seemed to disappear in boundless fear, and she could only whirl around with the violent wind and water.After completely losing the concept of space, she saw a scene of a city in the distance while drifting.The city is on the shore?Nautical mile?Or in the air?She couldn't tell.But she felt dimly that it was not Esgetef Island, because it was full of tall buildings and lights.She thought of Atlantis, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.The city seemed to be a boxy and regular model, and at the same time there was a sky full of heavy rain.

What a strange place, she thought to herself, before falling asleep sleepily.In that black sleep, she felt that she was still on Chirabin's small wooden boat, fluctuating regularly with the waves.It felt comfortable and peaceful, until she felt a cold rope strangling her chest.She struggled uncomfortably, as if a stone was falling in her lungs, about to collapse and fall into her stomach.No, she didn't want to be in this uncomfortable shell.She wants to come out of her shell and fly away lightly, like a bird or a butterfly.

Jania still had her eyes closed, her arms flapping into the void.She vaguely remembered being on a boat, or in the water.When she remembered this incident, the pain of suffocation really followed.She coughed and regurgitated uncontrollably, and the rope around her chest moved to her abdomen.The salty water gushed back from her throat, and it felt really bad.She was panting desperately, and countless little black bugs were flying in front of her eyes, but her wavering consciousness relaxed because she understood that she was not submerged in the water.She is breathing, which means she is alive.

When the visual impairment caused by the lack of oxygen disappeared, the little black bugs flying in front of her eyes returned to a pre-dawn gray sky.The dawn has not yet appeared, but Jania has been dazzled by the shaking. She feels that she has been soaked in the ocean of eternal night for a whole year, and her whole body is full of the fishy smell of sea water, and she has never forgotten how the day was. thing.

She lay there in a trance and exhausted for more than ten seconds, and finally realized that she was lying on a beach.Her palms gripped the slippery sand, reminding her that the nightmarish storm seemed real.The bamboo raft was overturned by the storm, and she experienced two seemingly impossible shipwrecks overnight.

When Jania finally recovered from the agony of drowning and wondered how she survived, she got the answer from the pain just below her breastbone.

Someone had given her CPR, maybe half a minute ago.But that was very strange, because she didn't go overboard very close to the shore.How did the rescuer get her ashore in such a short time?Until her rescuer called her, the question was so entangled in Jania's mind that she didn't even consider who had saved her.The answer is not difficult to find, after all, the person who rescued her was not a mermaid who couldn't go ashore, he had been squatting next to her the whole time, and even started to pat her cheek to check if she had any reaction.

Jania glanced at him.She didn't know if she should be surprised, but when Zhou Wenxing called her again, she tried her best to raise her palm to show that she was conscious.

"You need blankets and hot water," Zhou Wenxing said.

Jania nodded exhaustedly.She felt so tired all over that she couldn't sit up at all.But when Zhou Wenxing sat beside her and watched her, she suddenly remembered what they were talking about before the bamboo raft capsized.Her chest tightened suddenly, and new strength was born out of thin air.But instead of sitting up, she continued to lie, looking around.

"Where is he?" she asked. "Is Chirabin all right?"

"Perhaps drowned."

Jania glared at him.She didn't really believe this answer, because Zhou Wenxing's expression looked like he was joking.She didn't want to be treated as a prankster, so she resisted asking, but changed her words and said, "Don't tell me this is a desert island."

"Don't worry, this is the coast a little north of Estef Island. When you can stand up, you can go south along the coast, and I think you will soon meet someone who can help you."

"You're not going to go back with me?"

"Yes, Jennifer, I'm leaving."

When Zhou Wenxing said that, Jania immediately took it as good news.She wasn't seriously injured and could take care of herself.But she didn't feel happy about it.She weighed it, and finally asked almost recklessly: "Where are you going?"

"I don't know what you're asking. If you take it literally, I'm a human being, that's all."

"Your...your magic, is that something you were born with?"

"That doesn't matter, Jennifer. It doesn't matter to you what abilities I have, because I don't intend to use them on you. You want to live, so I should probably go."

Hearing this strange assurance is not really reassuring, but rather arouses alarm and alarm.Jania wandered her eyes casually, looking into the distance where the rain was still sporadically falling.All the details about what she saw that night were swirling in her mind, and when the first ray of dawn broke through the clouds, another kind of spiritual light suddenly shone in her heart.Once again she stood on the short cut she had taken by switching positions, and all the fog of disorientation lifted.There may be inhuman grotesques and mysteries in that strange world, but the basic motivation is still so simple and clear.Answers can be derived from it without any knowledge of the occult.

"Your brother is a sea monster," gasped Jania. "He's something like that, isn't he? His hallucinations turned him into a monster. That's why he's worshiped by people... What the hell is that? He Can you make someone hallucinate?"

She felt Zhou Wenxing stand up from her side.He is really leaving.She should have let him do it, but a strong urge made her grab him by the ankle.This is downright stupid.She yelled to herself inwardly.

"What does this have to do with him?" she asked quickly. "Why did my brother shoot you? What happened to him?"

"Just live your life, Jennifer. There's no cure for being like your brother."

"Fuck you. Where is he?"

Zhou Wenxing leaned over and grabbed her wrist.Jania didn't feel his strength, but her hand couldn't make it.She let go of him involuntarily.

"Life is made up of the closure of a finite structure," she heard Zhou Wenxing say. "If you can't accept the isolation from the real world, that is, the infinite world, then you can't sustain life. The so-called psychotherapy is to let people Being able to accept being closed and repressed, and perpetuating that repression. People who can dream beautiful dreams in a cage can be cured, people like your brother are useless."

Jennifer felt Zhou Wenxing's hand holding her was so cold, and that coldness made her sleepy.Her heavy eyelids gradually closed again.Before she fell asleep, Zhou Wenxing gently covered her eyes with his hands.Jania looked through his fingers to the sky, only to realize that it was still only night.The stars are twinkling and shining, converging into the shape of a river.And a bolide is crossing the galaxy.

The cold hand left her face.

"Goodbye, Jennifer." Zhou Wenxing said, "It's better not to meet again in the future."

Jennifer finally fell asleep.In the dream, she saw herself standing up from the beach alone and walking towards the hotel in the west.The dream felt so real that she even thought about the chaos of the night as she walked.She felt strange, but also worried, and even more annoyed.But then she thought of Klein, and it actually cheered her up amidst her frustration.

Do you know what the most disgusting thing is? she said to herself.What I can't accept the most is not sea monsters and magicians, but Colein.If I were killed by Colein, people would lament that his last victim did not escape his fate.They will feel that I am so worthy of sympathy and love.They would spread my misfortune in newspapers and online, wishing my soul to rest in peace, and exclaiming how dangerous and terrible Klein is.And that's the most disgusting thing - expressing awe and curiosity at the triumph of evil.

Jania was woken up by the siren of the search and rescue team.When people organized ships and helicopters to search for her at sea, the sky was completely bright, but it was still overcast.Jania opened her eyes on the beach, her calf was severely swollen, and a bamboo pole was placed by her arm, and a shallow smiling face was carved on the bamboo pole.Jania thought how imposing she looked now as she limped toward the west coast clutching the bamboo pole.She would have to fight her mother, but that didn't matter now.

The search and rescue teams all went to sea, and she didn't meet any familiar and reliable people on the way.It was not until Jania was about to walk to the beach that she saw Anti-Pierre standing by the sea.It was no surprise that Miss Unti looked very depressed, but Jania was surprised that there was a dark-haired man standing beside her.

The man was wearing an inappropriate long black coat and black leather gloves on both hands, looking somewhat suspicious.But the position he stood in revealed his intimacy with Anti-Pierre.Miss Antie was almost touching her shoulder to him, and was gesticulating with him continually.

Jania watched from a distance for a while, and finally walked over suspiciously.No sooner had she appeared on the beach than Miss Antie pounced on her, and strangled her like a sea serpent.Jania screamed in pain, and Onti let go of her hand, and checked her calf in amazement.While Miss Antie was busy with her head down, Jania and the strange man stared at each other.This person looks Asian, and his face looks quite young, but it makes people feel very reserved.He was not quite the sort of man that Anti-Pierre would have liked.She also sharply noticed a small piece of bandage protruding from under the glove of his right hand.

The man looked at her for a while and said in English, "Hi, Jania."

"You are?"

The other party wanted to answer her.But then the phone in his coat rang.He nodded at her hastily, and took out his mobile phone to answer.Jania waited to see him take off his gloves to unlock the screen, which turned out to be a pair of capacitive gloves.He put the mobile phone to his ear, first listened, and then answered.Jania eavesdropped, but failed to catch anything useful.Anti-Pierre ran to get her towels and hot water, and she was left standing with the strange young man.The black glove looked so odd that for a moment Jania could not guess what it was for.

She heard him say in Chinese, "Are you back?"

Jania shook her head.A wonderful feeling arises spontaneously.After a dreamy night, what is impossible?
The black glove put down the phone.The two of them watched silently for a while, as if waiting to see if a kind person would jump out and introduce them.The good fairy did not appear, and her aunt Pierre seemed to think that Mr. Black Gloves was no harm to her.

"Is your phone still on you?" Black Glove asked suddenly.

Jania raised her eyebrows.She wondered who would ask such a question to a missing person who had survived the catastrophe.This black glove is as inexplicable as Zhou Wenxing.

"I can recite my mother's phone number," she said rather bluntly, "Thank you for your concern."

"Your brother will call you later."

A wonderful thing really happened.It suddenly dawned on Jania that weirdos all over the world knew her brother and were more than happy to come up to her and tell him.She never knew her brother was such a public figure.But since Zhou Wenxing played tricks on her once, the black glove might play tricks on her a second time.

"How would you know?"

"He called me just now."

Jania fell silent.She and Black Glove stared at each other.Perhaps her somewhat rude gaze misunderstood him, and Black Gloves seemed to think that she already understood who she was, so there was no need to introduce herself.

"Hmm..." Black Glove said hesitantly, "Don't tell your brother that I've been here, can you?"

This sentence gave Jania a flash of inspiration, and her detective instinct had already realized who the black glove standing in front of her should be.Suddenly, everything seemed to flow smoothly.What came to Jania's mind was Chirabin's wicked smiling face.Did he say something?Everything is connected, she just can't see it.

Jania put her hands on her hips and looked up at the man and then at the beach in the distance.She knew her expression must be very strange.

"Well, okay," she said. "Okay, I won't talk. Let's go with that. We'll talk about it later. I have to work on my leg first. And my mom."

"Your mother won't know about it."

"That's great. Well...my brother won't know, will he?"

Black Gloves nodded.Their topic came to an end again.Finally, Jania couldn't take it anymore, and she asked her biggest question about this man.That's not to say that she's jealous or something, it's just a suspicious point caught out of professional habits, and her elder brother is her biggest investigation target.Ignoring a suspect's important relationships is a major mistake for a top-notch detective.

"...Why did he call you first?" she questioned.
