Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 75 Devil’s Eye (15)
At 8 o'clock in the morning, we brought enough food, water, and various mountaineering adventure equipment, and drove towards Konjac Mountain. At 10 o'clock, we arrived at a small village at the foot of the mountain, parked the car on the side of the road, and asked a villager 100 yuan and asked him to lead the way. Under the guidance of the villagers, we started climbing. Konjac Mountain is not high, with an altitude of less than 800 meters. There is a winding path leading to the top of the mountain. The Radish Cave is halfway up the mountain, and the road is not It was as steep as the book said. Two hours later, we arrived at Carrot Cave.

After arriving, the villagers left. The entrance of the Carrot Cave was very small, only big enough for one person to bend down and get in. Lin Lang volunteered to open the overgrown hole and got in. The three of us also followed Lin Lang in. We turned on the lithium battery miner's lamp together, illuminating the entire cave. The radish cave is small on the outside and wide on the inside, with a slight curvature. It is 3 meters at the widest point and 4 meters high, but it is unfathomable. The further inside, the temperature rises. The lower, because we were all sweating when climbing the mountain, and our shirts soaked with sweat stuck to our backs. It was so cold that we got goosebumps all over our bodies. Fortunately, Lin Lang and Ouyang both had adventure experience and brought autumn clothes. After we put on our clothes, we went further.

When we reached a depth of nearly 50 meters, something suddenly shone in front of our eyes. I discovered it first. I screamed happily. We hurried forward to take a look. It turned out to be an antique copper box. Placed on the rock at the top of the cave, it is glowing.Lin Lang squatted down, asked me to step on his shoulders, and then propped me up. I clung to the rock and took down the copper box. The copper box was rectangular, as long as chopsticks, as wide as a book, and had no top. Lock, everyone was extremely surprised by this unexpected harvest. They all held their breath and watched Lin Lang carefully open the lid, but the lid was very tight and could not be opened. Lin Lang looked carefully for a while and found a hidden bolt at the bottom of the copper box. , he took out the small scissors and gently opened the hidden bolt. The inside was very delicate. The inside of the box was covered with silk, and there was a round thing in the middle. That thing was also wrapped in fine silk. There were Five layers, when Lin Lang uncovered the last layer, what appeared in front of us was a small bead. When our lithium battery miner's lamp left the small bead, it began to glow.

"Ah, devil's eyes!" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Really?" Qu Liping took the Devil's Eye in my hand and looked at it for a long time, then passed it to Ouyang Shui, and then to Lin Lang. After we looked at it for half an hour, Lin Lang let Lin Lang read the Devil's Eye. Close your eyes.

Then we continued walking forward, expecting to find more, but after only walking 10 meters, we had already reached the bottom of the cave. We had to go back to the outside of the cave. When we took out the Devil's Eye again, it no longer existed. It glowed, and I asked: "Why is it so magical? Could it really be the eyes of the devil?"

"What about devil's eyes? Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Lang said sternly, as if he was a little angry. I feel wronged. I have known Lin Lang for half a year and he has never treated me like this.

Lin Lang took the Devil's Eye in his hand, looked at it again and again, and then scraped it hard with a knife. Something fell off on the surface, revealing a layer of silvery gray. When Lin Lang saw it, he kept scratching it like crazy. It was scratched, and the expression was extremely painful and desperate. The three of us were shocked. We didn't know what happened, and we all wondered if Lin Lang was possessed by evil spirits...

Lin Lang suddenly knelt down on his knees and shouted to the sky: "Oh my god! How could this happen? You are so unfair. We are only in our 20s, and our parents are waiting for us to repay the kindness of raising us -"

"Lin Lang! Lin Lang! What's wrong with you?" I realized something was wrong, so I hugged him tightly from behind and shook him.

"I...we..." Lin Lang was already sobbing. Ouyang Shui thought he was possessed and was talking nonsense.

"What's wrong with you?" Ouyang Shui slapped Lin Lang on the face. He had heard that people possessed by evil spirits would sometimes wake up with a slap.

"Don't fight, I'm not possessed by an evil spirit..." Lin Lang held Ouyang Shui's hand tightly and said, "Our doom has come..." Lin Lang couldn't say any more. I don't think Lin Lang was possessed by an evil spirit. , the evil person’s eyes were straight and his expression was dull. I felt that the situation was serious, but I didn’t know what was going on.Lin Lang continued: "This is not a night pearl, nor a devil's eye, it is cobalt 60..."

"What? Cobalt 60? Lin Lang, you can't be mistaken, right?" Ouyang Shui didn't believe it.

"I major in geology, can't I even recognize cobalt-60?" Lin Lang shook his head helplessly.

"No, no, absolutely not!" Ouyang Shui shouted, and then he collapsed on the ground. Qu Liping and I didn't know what cobalt 60 was, so we asked Lin Lang why cobalt 60 is so scary?Lin Lang was silent for a long time. He really didn't want to tell us the truth, but in the end he couldn't stand the repeated questioning by Qu Liping and I, and he said: "Cobalt 60 is a radioactive metal. It only takes 10 seconds for a person to be radiated by it." It will be hurt, and if it exceeds 20 seconds, it will be life-threatening. We have been radiated by it for half an hour..."

When I heard this, I immediately felt dizzy. Qu Liping was also the same as me, murmuring: "No, I can't die. My parents only have one daughter..." The four of us hugged each other tightly and cried bitterly until Cry your tears dry.

After we calmed down, Lin Lang said: Maybe I saw it wrong. Maybe it is not cobalt 60. If it is cobalt 60, it has reached its half-life, otherwise the factory will not throw it into the cave, because this thumb-sized cobalt 60 It costs at least 30 yuan to buy it. Let's not be pessimistic. We will go to the hospital for a checkup in a few days and then we can be sure.Lin Lang decided to bury the Devil's Eye in a deep hole to prevent it from harming others. Lin Lianglang brought a small shovel and dug a small hole one meter deep. He threw Cobalt 60 into the hole. He refused to let it go. Others were doing this together, and he said that if everyone went to bury it together, the result would only be that the other three people would receive more radiation.We were deeply moved. He was such a brave and kind-hearted person. Falling in love with him in this life is not a trip to this world in vain... Lin Lang held my hand, and Ouyang Shui held Qu Liping's hand, and we slowly walked down the mountain.At this moment, we have a feeling of life and death.

A few days later, the four of us went to the hospital for a check-up. The results proved that we had all been exposed to cobalt-60 radiation. The cell structure of the blood had been distorted and there was no cure... When we got the test results, we stood together at the door of the hospital. Tears and heartbreak...

Lin Lang is stronger. He suggested going to the beach to watch the sea and discuss what to do.We all nodded in agreement.

The car drove towards the seaside and passed by the alley in front of my house. Several vendors at the alley were shouting and selling roasted sweet potatoes, fried chestnuts, and fried dough sticks. Their voices got louder and louder. I was often woken up by them when I was sleeping at home. , I wanted to drive them all away immediately, but when I heard this shouting, it was like listening to the sound of nature, I felt very friendly and beautiful!Why do people always need to understand how precious it is when they lose it?Yes, these noisy shouts will never be heard again in this life...

At this time, it was the dusk when the setting sun was melting gold. The setting sun was slowly sinking into the end of the sea, scattering little bits of gold on the sea. The sea breeze was blowing from the car window. The scenery outside the window was dyed golden by the sunset. As soon as it passed by, it was as beautiful as a dream, and the scenery that I usually ignored became extremely beautiful.

We drove to a seaside fishing village. Every villager in the fishing village can cook seafood. We chose a restaurant owned by an old man to sit down. The old man treated us as distinguished guests and asked us humbly what kind of seafood we wanted to eat.Each of us ordered three of our favorite dishes, and a waiter dressed as a fisherman's girl came to entertain us.

At this time, the sunset has disappeared, and the lights of the fishermen along the coast gradually light up, reflecting on the calm sea. When the wind blows, the lights on the water are crushed, and it is as beautiful as a mirage... I think of a poem:

Youth is the sunset glow,

Love is the fragrance of flowers in a bottle,

Family is temporary warmth,

The grave is the eternal home...

Thinking of this, tears burst out of my eyes, and Qu Liping also started crying. Lin Lang hugged me tightly, kept touching me, comforting me, and telling me to be stronger. Since fate has arranged it this way, it naturally makes sense. , let’s accept it bravely.I finally held back my tears.

Later, we regarded death as a common topic. Everyone talked about their favorite way to die. We all hoped that we could die suddenly without our knowledge, preferably by accident, so that our parents would not have to worry about us. , I am not afraid either.Qu Liping most wanted to have a romantic death, so she chose to be like the protagonist in the martial arts novel: lying in a bamboo raft, wearing her favorite dress, surrounded by roses, and being gently kissed by her sweetheart. With a push, the bamboo raft slowly drifted away into the distance...

We discussed this outcome for a long time, and finally we decided to send each other's friends to heaven: Ouyang Shui first sent Qu Liping to rafting, but Qu Liping said it was best to take a few sleeping pills, otherwise she would be scared.Lin Lang saw Ouyang Shui off, I saw Lin Lang off, and Qu Liping saw me off. I asked Qu Liping: You left first, how do you see me off?She said: Don't ask, I will naturally have a way to let you know, won't you be afraid?I didn't dare to ask any more, and we stipulated that we were not allowed to ask each other how to say goodbye.

We sat on the beach for a long time that night, reluctant to leave. It wasn't until the moon rose over the sea, the sea breeze blew, and the coolness became very strong, that we went home.
