Chapter 6: The Hunt

Lu Ran walked into the path that Huang Rui pointed to.

The road is indeed very small, like the alleys left in the old city of the capital, the road for people to walk is very narrow, zigzag, stretching forward, a turn, you can't see where it is headed.

However, even if Lu Ran saw it, he didn't know where it was, he could only pray that he would go in one direction and not encounter any forks in the road.

On both sides of the road are high fences, and as soon as you enter the path, about 500 meters, on both sides of the fence there are some small merchants and vendors hawking on the side of the road, but further inside, the sounds of those hawks are getting farther and farther away from you, and there is a kind of silence instead.

It's getting quieter.

Lu Ran looked up at the sky, and he felt that the sky was different from what he had seen before.

It should be that the sun is about to set.

Lu Ran continued to walk forward, he had no way back, and he didn't know how far he had gone.

Except for the setting sun in the sky, he could barely tell where he was.

"This, the general direction seems to be right, but why does it feel like it's going farther and farther?"

Huaihai Road is a noisy place in the center of the city, how can it be quieter and quieter?

He approached the high wall beside him and touched it with his hand.

The dirt on the wall rubbed between his fingers with ash.

This place is not right.

Common sense tells Lu Ran that this building is at least more than fifty years old, with red bricks, green tiles, and ash and moss on the walls, and a few steps further on, the walls are still like this.

If it's not a store, then it should be some residential building.

No, Lu Ran kept putting together all the details he saw in his mind.

"I've turned countless intersections and changed directions many times, why, I'm still on the back of these walls!

If these walls are really made up of houses, where are they facing each other?

How can there be such an old house in the city center, which has not been renovated or repaired?

Lu Ran's sanity made him unable to believe that what he saw in front of him was real.

This qiē is not right, it was not right in the first place, Lu Ran quickly rolled his eyes, he wanted to find out the source of the matter.

It's a labyrinth, yes, a labyrinth!

Lu Ran recalled in his mind every fork in the road he had just walked.

This road seems to have no end, every section of the road is straight, and it looks like a dead end at a glance, but when you reach the end, you will find that there is a turning intersection, and the cycle repeats itself, and Lu Ran has lost his way here with twists and turns.

"What the hell is this way on. Lu Ran was a little annoyed, and he wanted to ask Huang Rui what was going on.

He took out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket and dialed Huang Rui's number, Lu Ran remembered his number, but the call failed.

The signal strength is zero.

All right.

Lu Ran gave up struggling.

The signal was cut off, and now he didn't even have the only tool to communicate with others and ask for help from the outside world.

However, Lu Ran was calm.

All these things that he encountered that were contrary to common sense and common sense repeatedly confirmed a conjecture in his heart.

An idea that had already sprung up in his heart.

He calmed down.

Keep walking.

He wants to find out when this road will end and where it will lead.

On the other hand, Huang Rui didn't seem so distressed, he went in one direction in one direction, and the road was not so tortuous, he always walked straight.

This road is indeed not as narrow as Lu Ran's, it is much wider, but it is still much narrower than the busy main street.

Probably as wide as the lane on the hill that had been repaired for a motorized vehicle.

Huang Rui happened to have a car driving by, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Huang Rui walked beside him, with nowhere to hide, he patted the ash that fell on his sleeve.

He looked at the ash on his hands.

He felt that this road was so familiar.

His hand habitually plucked a dog's tail grass from the side of the road, held the straw pole in his mouth, and clamped it up and down with his lips, which was somewhat pleasant.

He reached out and tried to pull one more.

Suddenly, he stopped, wondering, why are there so many weeds on both sides of this road?

When he thought about this, he looked at the path he had taken, and he felt that this path was not a little problematic, but completely wrong. This, this is clearly a mountain road!

What the hell is the problem?

The road I chose was to Huaihai Road, "I remember correctly, I went there." ”

He began to recall the past, his past experience, from this road to Huaihai Road, but when he remembered that he walked into this road, he couldn't remember how he got to his destination.

How can this be a mountain?

Where are the mountains near the center of the city?

"I must have made a mistake. ”

Then he noticed that both sides of the road were overgrown with weeds, on the left was a stone wall, and weeds grew out of the cracks in the stones, and on the right......

There is no wall on the right, it is empty. But he couldn't see anything near, instead, he saw only the blue sky and white clouds and the sea in the distance.

Huang Rui leaned to the right, and there was nothing on the right to block his view. He looked down, as if he had seen a map from afar.

No, it's not a map, "Isn't that the three-way intersection where Lu Ran and I are separated?"

He took a step back in fright.

"I, why did I see that fork in the road again, and I looked down from such a high place?" As he spoke, Huang Rui understood that he was not only looking down, but also looking down at the street just now.

Only then did he feel that he had been walking along a slope that was inclined upward, and he was far away from the neighborhood where he and Lu Ran were just now.

"How did I walk on the mountain road?"

This is completely different from what Huang Rui envisioned, the path leading to Huaihai Road!

He panicked, but he still tried to figure out what was going on.

"It must be them, they must be the devil, they will do anything to stop me. ”

Huang Rui had an answer in his heart, it must be someone from the killer organization who changed this path.

Although Huang Rui didn't know how they did this. But he knew that it must be their conspiracy again.

He decided to go back, he wanted to know where the problem had started.

He turned around and began to walk back, but before he had gone ten meters, he vaguely saw someone coming towards him at the bottom of the slope.

He saw first the top of the man's head, then he saw not one, but two, and then they gradually revealed their faces, shoulders, and bodies.

Huang Rui's mouth opened wide, but he didn't dare to call out at all.

Because he saw them, all dressed in black!

They're coming!

Huang Rui didn't dare to go down again, he decided to go up first, no, to run up.

He was terrified, and if he was caught by these bad guys, he would definitely be cruel to himself.

He ran forward as fast as he could.

I don't know how far he ran, but his speed gradually slowed down, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his head, and he felt that the slope of this mountain road was getting higher and higher, and his body was getting less and less.

He gritted his teeth and allowed himself to hold on a little longer.

Suddenly, he tripped under his feet, and the whole person fell forward.

He fell in pain.

He felt like he couldn't move.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and stood up with his hands on his feet.

When he stood up again with his knees propped up, he saw the whole blue sky, not the mountain road.

The wind blew on his face, and there was no endless mountain road in front of him, only the blue sky, the birds, the sea, and the cliffs.

He ran to the end.

He stood on the top of the hill, and in the distance, he saw his home.

It's close, but it's far away.

He knew that the man in black would eventually catch up.

There was no way back for him.

"Lu Ran, you must help me fulfill this wish. He looked into the distance and whispered.
