lost by your side

Yuan Tian hurriedly asked: "Where's your precious box? Didn't you say you were willing to show me what's inside? Where is it now?"

The patient said: "Of course it's in that secret place that only the two of us know."

Yuan Tian asked: "Then how can we enter that room? We can't learn from the last time, can we? It's okay to use that method once, but twice? It's too fake, and it will definitely be suspected."

The patient laughed, but stood up suddenly and shouted to the sky as before: "You villains! Give me back my freedom! I want to soar into the blue sky! I want the truth to be revealed! Let the holy sun shine on the darkness of the earth !"

Yuan Tian cursed secretly in his heart that it was not good. People who had seen this kind of scene for the first time would definitely feel that they were playing tricks if they saw this kind of scene again.Unexpectedly, the security guard and the nurse still ran over as before, picked up the two of them and left without saying a word, but this time they did not inject them with sedatives like last time.Not long after, Yuan Tian and the patient were thrown into the room where the patient's treasure box was buried.

Yuan Tian came back to his senses, and asked in bewilderment: "Strange, why do they..."

The patient walked indifferently to the floor tile where the box was buried, and said, "Didn't I tell you that I paid a little money to buy people who passed here. I told them that if I shouted that sentence near the cat's nest, they would be killed." Send me and the people around me to this house."

Yuan Tian was stunned for a long time.He felt that when his patient said these words, it was abnormally normal, not at all like the nagging feeling when he first entered the hospital last time.If he hadn't seen the patient skillfully dug up the floor tiles and took out the box, he would have doubted whether the patient in front of him at this moment was the same person as the patient who entered this room with him last time.

Yuan Tian asked curiously: "Hey, are you pretending to be crazy?"

The patient asked, "Why do you say that?"

Yuan Tian said: "This hospital judges whether a patient is mentally abnormal or not. To be honest, it's a bit... You see, I'm a pretty normal person, but I'm actually locked up and not allowed to leave. So, you...you You bribed the doctors and nurses, and told them what kind of code you shouted, as if you expected that I would need your help in the future, and we would need to return to this room in the future... I don't believe it A real psychopath would have such a layered plan."

The patient laughed loudly, and then replied: "Whether I'm crazy or pretending to be crazy, what's the difference? If this kind of truth is useful, wouldn't you have left here long ago? Don't worry about whether I'm real or not." Crazy, don't you want to see what's in this box?"

Yuan Tian walked over and sat opposite the patient, took the box from his hand and opened it, inside the box were still the clippings he had seen before.He took out a thin stack of newspaper clippings, and the content facing up on each newspaper clipping included advertisements, entertainment news and other categories of content.Yuan Tian spread the stack of newspaper clippings on the ground, and then turned each newspaper over.

Sure enough, as he expected, the back of all the clippings contained information about the aircraft independently designed and developed by Hengyu Airlines.But just like the newspaper clipping he brought out of the hospital before, all the news is incomplete, but the advertisement on the back is completely cut out.

Yuan Tian suddenly realized the intention of the patient, and asked: "Are you deliberately destroying the integrity of Hengyu Company's news, and using those complete messy content to cover up your collection of Hengyu Company's news? What are you and Hengyu Company?" Relationship? And," he glanced down at the publication date revealed on one of the clippings, "why collect news so early?"

The patient didn't answer him directly, but just asked: "When you were discharged from the hospital last time, did you see the ring I stuffed in your clothes?"

Yuan Tian thought back and nodded.

The patient asked: "Then, what do you think about that ring? Or, your 'friend', any-any-friend, how does it feel after seeing that ring?"

Yuan Tian didn't understand the meaning of the patient's words: "'Any friends'? You mean..."

Yuan Tian raised his head, only to see the patient staring at him closely.The eyes of the two collided, and Yuan Tian couldn't help noticing the patient's eyes that were different from ordinary people again.Suddenly, a golden light flashed quickly in the unique pupils of those eyes.Yuan Tian was startled, thinking that his eyes were blurred, but when he looked carefully again, he found that there was still a little milk-colored mist in his pupils, just like the eyes of ordinary patients.

Xiao Bai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Stop staring at his eyes, I always feel uncomfortable."

Yuan Tian asked Xiaobai: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Xiaobai said, "It's a bit like I've been exposed to the sun."

Yuan Tianzheng felt strange: "Why is it so good all of a sudden?" The patient suddenly said to Yuan Tian: "Let me tell you about that ring."

Seeing Yuan Tian nodded, the patient began to talk:

"Many years ago, my wife and I—oh, it was the human wife, not the cat in the garden. The two of us worked together in the United States. Later, my wife had something to go back to China, so I asked for leave from my work unit. Send her off to the airport. Coincidentally, we met a family of three at the airport, also Chinese, and they were going to return to China on the same flight as my wife. I ask them, the husband and wife, to take care of each other and wait for the flight. At that time, my wife went to chat with the couple to get acquainted with each other and make friends. I played with the couple's son next to me. I played with the kid for a while, and he suddenly found a ring from his bag Show it to me. I took a look and laughed, and I asked him, what the hell is this, a half-engraved five-pointed star ring, what does it mean?"

"The boy said that he made two rings made of metal wire by himself, and the two rings were put together to form a complete five-pointed star. He originally had a very good friend in China, but because the family He immigrated to the United States, and he separated from that friend. He wants to take this opportunity to return to China to visit relatives, give this ring to his good friend, and tell him that even though two people are at opposite ends of the world, they still live in the same place. On a star——the big star of the earth, so don’t be sad, technology is getting more and more advanced, sooner or later, the distance between the two ends of the earth will become very close.”

Yuan Tian smiled and said: "That kid is really interesting... But why did you keep this ring with you in the end, and you kept it for so many years?"

"The kid went to the toilet once before boarding the plane, and I have been helping him carry things. When he came back, he was notified to board the plane suddenly, and I forgot to return it to him. And then..."

The patient fell silent suddenly, and his expression became sad.
