Right on Target

According to Jue, from the day District 14 was renamed the Punishment District, new experimental subjects have been continuously sent here. But the strange thing is that Xie Zhenshu and Su Heting wandered here for many days, but they never saw other humans.

Jue said: "After your silver flower disappeared, the consciousness memory here also disappeared. I saw silver dots scattered all over the place, and I couldn't tell who they were at all."

Su Heting followed behind Jue: "Yinhua receives human consciousness whose body has died. It is easy to distinguish who they are, just compare the personal information stored in the archive. The difficulty is the awakening of self-awareness. I haven't thought of a solution yet, so I have to let them make silver dots first."

Jue's Huajianguo is an information index specially made for this purpose, but it is a pity that Yindian can't eat independently, so it has little effect.

The road on the wilderness was difficult to walk. Jue jumped over several piles of sand and said, "It was Hephaestus who shut down Yinhua, and it also replaced the breeding room and the breeding farm with a new connection system, which caused I can't determine the exact location of everyone after uploading."

In addition, this place has been shrouded in darkness, even if someone left traces somewhere, it would be difficult for them to find.

Jue became depressed again, and said softly, "I'm very worried. Everyone has not received connection training, and they are not like Mr. Yan...I'm afraid they won't last long in this experiment."

In order to make the experiments in District 14 go smoothly, Artemis conducted long-term and cruel consciousness training on each experimental subject, causing many people to go insane. Now the main **** system wants to imitate Artemis, but they don't have that kind of patience, so they use more brutal methods.

Jue said: "After I came in, I couldn't forget how they looked in the breeding room. Those transformations were too cruel."

Hearing what it said, Xie Zhenshu's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at it.

Jue is like a human being.

It not only uses words, but also expresses emotions. However, expressing emotions by machines is a strange thing. Even doctors still retain some traces of being artificially set, but Jue has none at all. What exactly does it observe the world through the medium of?

This question is too complex.

Xie Zhenshu was too lazy to think about it, but Su Heting beside him was pondering another question. Holding the small lamp, the cat was afraid that he would step into the pit, and after walking for a while, he said, "I'm curious, what do you mean by 'reform'?"

As soon as Jue mentioned transformation, the leaves trembled for a while, apparently out of anger. It uses branches to draw: "It is to mechanize everyone's hands and feet, as if doing splicing."

Xie Zhenshu raised his eyelids slightly, and was slightly pricked by the word "splicing", thinking of the place of survival. Jue didn't notice any changes in his mood, so he continued on his own: "We will also replace everyone's internal organs, open everyone's skulls, and implant interfaces..."

Hearing this, Su Heting said, "Interface? Well, interface, no wonder."

Jue said, "Have you come into contact with this kind of interface in Black Panther?"

Su Heting said: "No, I only heard about it in other places."

Jue has browsed the experimental data of the Lord God, and understands it quite well: "Although the intrusive interface is convenient, it is very risky, and it is easy to be infected if it is not handled well. In order to reduce sacrifices, the Lord God system chooses to imprison these modified survivors in the breeding room, unified management.”

They chatted smoothly from one sentence to another, but they didn't know what these words meant, let alone that splicing people had appeared in the survival area for a while.

While walking, Jue suddenly plucked a leaf from the treetop and said, "I—"

Su Heting picked off one, and said: "This leaf can be picked."

"Ahhh," Jue spun around in panic, "What are you doing, you can pick it up but don't pick it up randomly, I'll be bald!"

Su Heting immediately stuck the leaves back, and comforted him: "You're not bald, how could you be bald? You are a super big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves."

Unexpectedly, the leaf quickly extinguished, turned into ashes, and dissipated from Su Heting's fingertips. Su Heting's expression was immediately filled with "bad", and he dodged and hid behind Xie Zhenshu before Jue slapped himself.

Jue took a few steps back, raised the branch tremblingly, and shouted: "Su Heting!"

Seeing that it was going to grow bigger, Su Heting hurriedly poked his head out: "I won't pick it anymore, I won't pick it anymore! Calm down, if it grows, Hephaestus will come. As soon as it comes..."

Jue was about to cry out of anger: "You still say!!"

Su Heting said: "I won't say anything."

Jue said: "These are all index pages, just like Yinghuozhi, one is less if you pick one..."

"

Su Heting said: "What is Yinghuozhi? Oh, I know, it's the fruit between flowers."

Jue corrected him: "That's called Yinghuozhi, and the design was inspired by old world fantasy novels, in which it was said that eating seven Yinghuozhi will make people enlightened and have night vision, so I..."

Su Heting pierced through the mystery with one word, and said, "Understood, so eating seven is a buffer setting."

Jue shouted shamefully and angrily: "There is so much information in the database, there are as many as thirty light track areas! I can only use seven fruits to delay the query time!"

Su Heting was afraid that it would grow bigger, so he followed it and said, "Yes, yes, it will be great if you can make it."

Seeing that Jue was full of anger and the leaves were flapping, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to pick the leaves for?"

Jue replied, "I'll ask for directions!"

It threw the leaves away, and the leaves swirled in mid-air, and slowly fell to the ground, with the slightly narrower end pointing to the right.

Su Heting looked in the direction where Ye Zi lay down, that was the way they came. He took a light breath, unbelievable: "Wait, the road these days can't be all asked like this?"

Jue picked up the leaves and said, "This is called divination. I often use it in the light track area, and it is very effective."

Su Heting said: "No, you—"

Xie Zhenshu raised his hand to cover Su Heting's mouth, Su Heting went in without knowing, and said "hmmmm" a few times, but was blocked by the officer, only Xie Zhenshu said softly: "Let's go."

With support, Jue immediately took a step forward and returned the same way. Su Heting was half held in Xie Zhenshu's arms, confused and carried for a long distance. But the way they came had already been checked by them, and there was no sign of anyone for a long time.

It was dark and windy, the sand was soft, and the road became more and more difficult to walk. Jue wanted to stop and rest for a while, and said, "My roots—"

Before it finished speaking, it suddenly went straight forward, and fell into the sand pile with a "plop", kicking up a cloud of dust.

Su Heting was choked, coughed and tried to pull it, but Jue yelled muffledly: "No, my foot is stuck."

It uses rhizomes as feet.

Su Heting poked the sand a couple of times, wanting to say "I'll pull you", but found that the sand was surprisingly soft, and his palm could easily sink into it.

At this time, Jue said "ah" and said, "the bottom is empty!"

It even poked the roots down.

Xie Zhenshu said, "Is it a channel?"

Jue continued to probe down, exerting all his strength, and after a while, it said, "Yes, but it's so deep, I haven't reached the end yet...Ah! There are bugs!"

Its voice was trembling, and with a "swish", it turned into a palm-sized seedling, rolling on the ground: "Bug, worm, worm!"

It used to be not afraid of bugs, it was just life, but now it is a tree, and after reading a lot of information, it is afraid that the main god's system will pervert and turn into some kind of virus to bite itself, so it is always on tenterhooks.

Su Heting frightened it: "Don't move, it's such a big one."

Jue buried his head in the sand and cried softly: "I was bitten by it, it's over, I haven't found Pu Lin yet."

Su Heting was very bad, and said: "Yeah, you haven't found Pu Lin yet. Oh, it's okay, I'll find him for you, what will happen after you find him?"

Jue said, "Send him away."

Su Heting said: "He is gone, you will never see him again."

Jue said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I will become a pile of data garbage!"

It was sad, when suddenly there was a light on the rhizome, and I couldn't help but look back, what kind of virus was hanging on it, it was just a bandage full of stains.

Xie Zhenshu calmly said: "Fake."

Jue Yezi was about to get angry, and shouted: "Su Heting!!"

With a smile on his face, Su Heting flicked the bandage with his fingers, and said, "I read it wrong, it turned out to be a bandage. But you are just beginning to understand, don't always think about death and life, even if there is a virus, you have to first Pass me and the officer."

He has always been unreliable, six out of ten sentences are false, and he has a very confusing face. He always speaks a bit lazy, but the strange thing is that he has a kind of charm , can coax people and the system into a daze.

Xie Zhenshu looked at him for a few seconds, then Su Heting leaned over, next to the officer, illuminated the bandage with a small lamp, and said, "There are words on it."

Jue got up and asked, "What did you write?"

Su Heting read: "Please... it's help, help."

The bandages were crumpled, obviously rubbed many times. There were frequent stains on it, and the words "help" were written crookedly in blood, which had already turned black and brown.

Xie Zhenshu moved his eyes down and looked at the sandy ground: "There are people down there."

Su Heting said: "No wonder you want to go back."

The two squatted down and dug for ten minutes at the spot where Jue had just fallen. The pile of sand dwindled, revealing the manhole cover underneath.

Su Heting propped up his body, held the lamp in one hand, and looked at the manhole cover. There was a vague number on it, but it was hard to see because of the sand. It should be the number. He blew on the ash on the cover, and there was a hole there, like a split mouth, with black teeth bared.

Xie Zhenshu pushed slightly along the edge of the hole, and directly opened the cover panel. It is not as firm as imagined, and there is an unfathomable vertical passage underneath.

Su Heting said: "What kind of **** uploading site is this, do you want everyone to crawl out?"

Jue poked her head out, and the bright white light illuminated the wall of the passage. The wall is very smooth, but there are many scratches of different shades on it, as if someone had really crawled over it.

Xie Zhenshu looked at those scratches and said, "That's right, it's for people to crawl."

Jue was shocked: "How did you climb so deep?"

Xie Zhenshu picked up Jue and Su Heting, and said calmly, "Barehands."

What did Su Heting realize: "This posture is so dangerous, sir, you won't throw us into it—thank you pillow book!!"

Jue yelled, "Yeah!"

The two bodies fell steeply, sank together, and disappeared from the passageway in the blink of an eye. Xie Zhenshu loosened his arms and jumped in himself. The passage is pitch-black, only the sound of the wind at the exit is still breaking and the ghost horns are still being heard. They didn't know how long they fell, and when the sound of the wind disappeared completely, Xie Zhenshu called out the black diamond-shaped fragments.

Su Heting tightened his waist, hung in the air, and coughed violently: "Cough, I cough..."

Xie Zhenshu silently pinched the back of his neck, and he immediately silenced himself. Only Jue was still hanging below, like a small light bulb, yelling faintly: "... so... dizzy... ah..."

There was an echo, and they were not far from the ground. Xie Zhenshu slowed down, formed the diamond-shaped fragments into a spiral ladder, and walked down steadily. Su Heting was held in his arms, breathing in his ears, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jue finally came forward, jumped step by step along the ladder, and said, "It's so deep, it's too difficult to climb with bare hands."

Xie Zhenshu said: "People who have been transformed can do it."

He hadn't looked at splicing people seriously, but he knew the power of reconstructive surgery. When people can control mechanized limbs, their strength can no longer be generalized with that of ordinary people.

Su Heting raised the small lamp and shone the light on the wall, and the scratches were still there, so he said, "It's strange."

Jue said: "It's very strange, if someone can climb to the exit, why not just climb out?"

Su Heting looked at the wall carefully and said, "These scratches don't seem to be left by a single person."

This is even more strange, if a group of people are online here, and many of them have been reformed, then they should have left here long ago, why would they leave the words "Help"?

At this time, Xie Zhenshu suddenly smelled a rancid smell, and Su Heting also smelled it. He frowned and said, "This smell..."

Jue has no sense of smell, so it fanned the wind with a branch, and said, "I need you to say some adjectives so that I can expand my imagination."

Su Heting said: "The smell of moldy and damp rotten eggs."

Jue specifically searched for "rotten eggs", and the pictures that came out made him even more curious. Except for bugs, it doesn't have such a strong sense of repulsion towards other things. Even mildew spots are also strange to it.

The further down they went, the stronger the stench became. Su Heting was so smoked that he became dizzy. Finally, it turned out to be an extremely spacious hall.

Su Heting said, "Hello."

This "Hello" sounded like a stone, echoing endlessly in the darkness.

There was water on the ground, Jue jumped down, and the water submerged its roots, and several circles of gradient colors burst out immediately. Its rhizome is nourished by blue data, and only when it encounters the green data of the main **** space will it fight with a gradient color, like a small battlefield. It lifted the rhizome and said, "Look, they are fighting, and everyone's upload location is really here."

The space was bigger than they had imagined. The lights of Jue and the small lamp were dimmed, and the two fluorescent lights could not illuminate the surroundings clearly, but the rancid smell choked their noses, and there was also a fishy smell.

Jue picked up the branches and whispered, "Is anyone there? Excuse me."

There was a very soft "gumble" sound in the darkness, if it wasn't for Xie Zhenshu's extraordinary hearing, he would have almost missed it. I could only hear the sound of swallowing again and again, as if it was not from the same person. Immediately afterwards, a faint response came: "...Yes."

Jue said happily: "Hey! Hello, we are here, where are you?"

The other party paused for a while and said, "This..."

As Jue walked forward, he suddenly caught a few drops of water between the branches and leaves. It raised the canopy and looked up, and it was pitch black. I don't know what went wrong, more and more water droplets fell, and finally all leaked down with a "crash".

Su Heting quickly turned out the lighter and shouted: "Jue!"

The small lamp ignited instantly, and the blue flames leaped out like a tiger pouncing on its prey, illuminating the top of the head brightly, and the top was covered with giant worms.

Jue said, "Damn it!"

What fell down was not water, but chewed pulpy human residues, mixed with blood, sticking together into fuzzy lumps of meat. It wasn't water under my feet, it was dirty unknown liquid, and there were some plastic lunch boxes floating around.

Jue lifted the rhizome and broke down, "Ah!"

The black diamond-shaped fragments surged wildly, and as soon as they blocked the top of the head, there was a "bang" sound, and a worm fell down. Xie Zhenshu tilted his head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Su Heting waved the lamp fiercely, used fire to drive out the worms, and blew on the black diamond-shaped fragments a few times, saying: "I've blown it clean, it's not dirty. Jue, come to me!"

He is well aware of the weakness of the Lord God's creation, which is the fear of light. At that moment, he lit the small lamp to the height of half a person, to scare off the worms that rushed over. Jue faded into a gradation, and trotted along with them. The walls of the space are full of worms. They have human faces and bulky bodies, and they rely on suction cups to move.

"Yes," they whispered, "meat."

Jue was terrified: "People are eaten by them!"

Su Heting said, "It's hard to say."

His flame suddenly dwarfed, showing signs of extinguishing. Su Heting exhaled lightly, pinched the wick with two fingers, and said, "Stop talking to me."

Blue immediately revived and became bright again. But there are so many worms that it makes one's scalp numb. Wherever the light goes, they chase them in the shadows. The dense wriggling sound of "rustling" was endless, and it was also accompanied by the sound of human body falling.

When the two returned to the place where they came back, Su Heting first used flames to drive out the upward path. The wick of the small lamp burst with a "snap", as if urging. Xie Zhenshu said nothing. With the power of the cross star, lead them back to the channel. Fortunately, the passage is narrow, illuminated by lights, and the surroundings are bright, so the worms dare not follow. After climbing out, Su Heting and Jue fell to the ground together. The small light returned to its original brightness, looking half dead.

Jue suddenly turned over, choked with sobs: "There is no living person."

Su Heting said: "There is no Pu Lin either."

Jue said, "There are others, and everyone has been eaten."

Su Heting was silent for a while, then sat up quickly, and saw Xie Zhenshu looking at the manhole cover. The two looked at each other, and Su Heting asked, "Really?"

Xie Zhenshu drew an imaginary circle around the hole of the manhole cover with his fingertips, and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Jue said, "What is the same thing?"

Su Heting said: "The bugs were put in."

Jue also poked his head over to see that the manhole cover was broken. Although it is a smart system, it still doesn't understand well enough to ask, "Who is so bad?"

Xie Zhenshu's words are brief: "people."

Jue said, "What!"

Su Heting wanted to touch the tip of his nose, but when he thought of the worm just now, he silently put his hand back. He grabbed a handful of sand and sprinkled it on the manhole cover: "The Lord God sent them in, and never wanted them to die immediately. Most of the worms inside were put in by people."

The manhole cover was broken, and they just had to climb out one by one, but they didn't know what happened, but the people who came out attracted the worms in and killed all the people underneath.

After a while, Jue said, "What are you doing?"

Its voice was low, unspeakably sad, and even the "ah" was no longer airy, as if something was broken in its heart.

Su Heting didn't want it to look ugly, so he said, "Not everyone is like this."

But he is really not very good at comforting people, so saying this is tantamount to not saying it. Jue nodded, as if he believed it, but when he nodded, the leaves fell off one by one.

Su Heting was startled and almost reached out to pick it up.

Jue picked up the leaves by himself and put them into the passage, then he closed the branches and prayed: "I will remember everyone's names, and I will never forget each of you. I'm sorry... Even if I don't go to the new world, I will Please rest in peace."

The leaves are shining, falling slowly, and finally turning into a little bit of glowing light, like falling stars, rowing to the depths. At that moment, the silver dots in the wind and sand flickered, and the darkness could not fade Jue's piety.

Su Heting was depressed, he sent the small lamp in Xie Zhenshu's arms, and he sent it to Xie Zhenshu, saying: "I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep...ah, it's so annoying."

Xie Zhenshu hugged his upper body so that he would not be attacked by the wind and sand. Su Heting's consciousness was heavy, but he couldn't fall asleep. Tiredness was like a thin thread, rubbing against his nerves back and forth, making him dizzy. He turned his head, put the tip of his nose against the collar of Xie Zhenshu's shirt, and murmured: "I'm really going to die. But although I'm a little dusty, it's good to wash, don't put me on the ground."

He spoke lazily, knowing that Xie Zhenshu loves to be clean.

Xie Zhenshu looked down at Su Heting for a while, then covered the back of his head with his hand, pressed him against his chest with a little force, and said with an "um", "don't let go."

The corners of Su Heting's mouth twitched, as if he had no bones. "I won't be able to walk for the next few hours," he said.

Xie Zhenshu said, "I know."

Su Heting's battery was running low, and he struggled to speak, his voice gradually became weaker: "I'll take a break..."

The cat ball was in his arms, very light and fragile. Xie Zhenshu wanted to use force, but dared not. The divine bone in his body easily made him lose his sense of proportion, and maybe it wasn't the fault of the divine bone, but his problem.

Su Heting is very light, and his breathing is also very soft. After a long time, Xie Zhenshu picked him up. Jue had finished praying and followed the officer.

On the way, Jue asked, "Sir, where are we going?"

Xie Zhenshu didn't look back, and the cross star shone coldly surrounded by silver dots. He said, "Go find someone."

Jue, who had never worked with Xie Zhenshu before, ran to the front a few steps and said, "Do you need me to divination the direction?"

Xie Zhenshu said: "No."

Jue felt relieved and walked alongside him, looking at Su Heting from time to time. Su Heting's face was as white as paper, and he was closing his eyes and feigning sleep. They walked like this for more than an hour, and Xie Zhenshu finally stopped.

The light of the small lamp was weak, so Jue grew up a bit, and used the branches to shine in front of him. In front of it is a sunken bunker, judging by its size, it should be the footprint of a Buddha statue. Jue was facing the sandstorm, lying on the edge, and looking down, he saw a group of people lying on the ground, lying here and there, all dead.

Jue asked: "Is it them? It seems that they have been running with the Buddha statue, no wonder we haven't seen it."

A pile of lunch boxes was piled up under the edge of the pit, and when Jue touched them, they collapsed, pouring out a puddle of soup and noodles.

Su Heting, who was pretending to sleep, squinted one eye, looked under his eyes, and said, "So it was to grab food."

There are very few plastic lunch boxes under the passage, all of them are empty. It must be another test of the Lord God, which made the online survivors compete with each other, causing the transformed strong to report to the group. They climbed out of the passage together and led the worms down to kill. , and then take away the only food. Looking at the number of lunch boxes, they should have climbed out for several days. They were supposed to meet Xie Zhenshu and Su Heting, but they kept taking a detour. Maybe it was because of the shortage of food. They didn't want to share food with the extra people, so they would rather follow the Buddha statue.

Su Heting was about to close his eyes when he saw Jue's leaves fall off again. He paused and reminded, "It will be bald."

"No way," Jue said while merging the branches, "I can do it again."

It glowed quietly, and the blue data under its feet slowly seeped into the bunker, covering the corpse. The prayer sounded again, and the corpse gradually faded away in the promise of "I will not forget", and finally dissipated in the wind of flying silver dots.

Su Heting said: "Will you remember everyone?"

Jue said: "I will remember everyone."

Su Heting said: "Even if he is a bad person?"

Jue's leaves fluttered with the wind, and it replied softly: "As long as he existed."

When the blue data faded, the bodies were gone. In this world where only consciousness exists, people can only turn into silver dots, floating in the darkness unconsciously, and the traces of individual existence become sand paintings that can be easily erased. Su Heting believes that he, like Yindian, is an exile who has lost his body. A simple "don't forget" requires everyone to use their best.

After Jue was purified, they returned to the passage. The manhole cover was half covered, and it was still dark underneath. Jue said: "Now there are only worms left, we have to find a way to drive them away, otherwise the next batch of survivors will suffer."

Su Heting said: "Then I have to trouble you, help me plant silver flowers on the wall, and they will leave by themselves when there is light."

Jue said, "I'll try."

Its rhizomes covered the entrance and turned into blue data after entering the passage. The reason Jue was able to walk here was because of the blue virus laid out by Su Heting, so blue data flowed where it passed. Those blues slowly climbed down, and met the green again, and the gradient colors spread out layer by layer, and countless silver flowers grew along the way.

Su Heting flicked the small light, and the light swayed slightly, as if silently guiding. The silver dots walking around immediately gathered together, they flew into the passage in an orderly manner, and drilled into the silver flowers to act as stamens.

call-

The silver flowers move automatically without wind, and the branches sway, like the Milky Way, covering the underground space.

Su Heting said: "The creation of the Lord God wants to live in the dark, so they are afraid of light. Hephaestus made a guy called 'Zhu Rong', which holds a scepter of fire, imitating the old **** of mountains and seas. I doubt the light source in area 14 It's all there."

Xie Zhenshu looked into the depths of the darkness, where the nightmarish chanting of Buddha statues could be heard from time to time. The wind at the end is endless, but there is no fire. If Zhu Rong is still there, he must be hiding somewhere else.

Jue concentrated on planting flowers, and only said after planting: "If there is light, you don't have to hide in the dark."

Su Heting said: "No, only the light is not enough, we need the sun."

Jue said, "Apollo!"

Su Heting said, "Ha, we don't want that little trash."

His dislike of Apollo was beyond words, and he didn't even bother to pretend.

Jue thought for a while, then suddenly patted a branch, and said joyfully, "Then let's pinch one ourselves."

It not only has the data of District 14, but also the data of the main **** left by Artemis. It is not difficult to just cut a gap here and fill in the instructions according to the gourd.

"But the process is very complicated," Jue said, "I need a little time."

Su Heting said: "Not busy, what we need most now is time. There is a virus, and the Lord God will not be able to do anything to us for a while."

Jue was about to say something, when suddenly he said "huh", touched his tree crown, and said, "I, I have bloomed!"

The two people who didn't notice it took a closer look, and there were really many small bright flowers blooming between the leaves, and a very sweet smell wafted out. It's amazing to say that Jue has never tasted it. In the past, when hunting, it would often drink a glass of data wine with Pu Lin after get off work. Pu Lin described the taste of wine to it, and it relied on imagination to attach many beautiful adjectives to that taste. Up to this moment, it has turned into a special, wonderful taste that does not belong to reality.

Su Heting sniffed slightly at the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "Hmm...it smells like snow, refreshing and refreshing. Sir, have you smelled it?"

Xuetian has no smell, and Su Heting's impression of Xuetian comes from Xie Zhenshu, so what he smells is just a smell similar to Xie Zhenshu.

Xie Zhenshu's hair was messed up, and he let out a "huh", thinking of the beautiful dream created by Gandharva. Instead of snow, he smelled toffee and chocolate. But he didn't refute Su Heting, he just said after a while: "Sweet."

Su Heting was surprised: "Sweet? Ice cream?"

Xie Zhenshu said: "Almost."

While the two were talking, Jue jumped up like an electric shock, and pointed to the channel excitedly: "Report sir, I feel someone is online!"

Su Heting imitated the example: "Sir, it should be the second batch of survivors, we need to go down and check... Hey, don't throw me away again!"

Xie Zhenshu supported his back, and turned into the passage at the same time as the black diamond-shaped fragments appeared. This time there was Yinhua lighting, so they were not so nervous, and the hems of the two people's clothes flew quickly. Jue realized later, lay down at the entrance and said "Hi—" and shouted, "You guys forgot about me!"

Xie Zhenshu said: "Guard the gate."
