Chapter 235: The Other Self

235 opposite yourself

The fat man hadn't spoken yet, but on the torch he was holding, the golden flames had begun to sway from side to side, and it seemed that it was going to be extinguished at any time. www.biquge.info I saw this, and I felt the kind of horror that he hadn't yet expressed, but the more I did, the more curious I became, what he saw behind me at that moment.

He just said that it was a face, but what is this face? Is it a human face? Or a dog's face? Or maybe it's Zhang Sanye's cunning face, maybe it's something else.

I just looked at his fat, broad face in silence, waiting for him to continue. And this wait is about five minutes, and the whole space is extremely quiet, as if there is no life in this place. And the fat man and I have long lost that so-called life and become lifeless dead things.

"At the moment when the fire was extinguished, I saw you, and then I saw a figure appear behind you. The shadow was so fast that it rushed behind you at once, and I didn't have time to scream. At the moment when the fire finally burst out, I finally saw clearly. And at this time, the distance between you and him is closer, closer than the distance between you and me now......"

Speaking of this, I looked at the distance between me and the fat man at the moment. He stood across from me with a torch and I leaned against the wall, less than a meter apart, which means that when the lights went out, the thing behind me was not attached to my back for a moment, but rather a process. But I didn't know about the process, as if I didn't feel the slightest feeling, the only thing I could feel was an endless coldness, like facing a dead corpse.

There is not only the coldness of the temperature on the body, but also the cold feeling of breath and depression in the heart.

"You may not believe it, but the moment I saw that face clearly, I felt like I might be dead." The fat man continued. "Because, the face I saw, you are very familiar. And I, on the other hand, can only be more familiar. I don't see anyone else, it's myself. It's my own face, which appears behind your back, lying on your shoulder, like an old friend who knows you very well, quietly teasing you behind your back. This kind of prank is a common occurrence in my heart, but I have never done it directly. It was as if the place had read my mind and made such a scene that I was hallucinating. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, the whole space fell into absolute silence again. I felt a chill sweep from my head to my heels. It was incredible, the fat man was standing across from me, but he actually said that he saw himself behind me.

This could have been explained by a hallucination, but as I fell into the darkness, I felt a sound of footsteps approaching at a rapid pace, and the footsteps finally approached my body, and then strangled me all at once. Later, it was verified that this is not the fat man who appeared behind me? That is, the person who is standing with me at this moment and talking to me face to face.

At this point, I don't know what to say. Because I can't tell whether the fat man who appeared in front of me at this moment is real, or the fat man who stood opposite me before is real. Or rather, both are true, and maybe both are false. But what can I use to verify it? This kind of verification is absolutely meaningless, and this idea of doubting one's peers may not arise.

Thinking of this, I immediately smiled at the fat man and said, "It's okay." Fat man, I believe you, at least at this moment, we are still standing together, there is no need to carry it like that. We just need to keep walking towards the front, and we can get out. Believe me, as long as you live, there is hope......"

After I finished speaking, the fat man nodded solemnly. The two of us walked towards the front in silence and tacit understanding, the surrounding scene still hasn't changed in any way, and I don't know how far the road ahead is. On either side of the wall were unremarkable stone walls, and a torch appeared on top of the stone wall at intervals. The torches had been bright before, but now they had fallen into silence.

We snuggled up to each other, and the only footsteps in the empty hallway kept ringing. Listening to this rhythmic sound, I felt as if I was walking from the human world to the abyss of death, or at least it seemed like that. The air seemed to be stagnant, and neither me nor the fat man spoke, and the whole space was so depressing.

"Fat man, we can't keep suppressing it like this, we have to be like a way, or let's tell a joke or sing together. In this way, we can have the motivation to continue to go on for a long time......"

I spoke, but the fat man didn't answer. His eyes were staring straight ahead, as if he had seen something extraordinary. I followed his line of sight and looked ahead, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything at all. But I knew that the fat man had better eyesight than me, and he could see a lot of things, so I immediately asked, "Fat man, have you seen something?" ”

As soon as my words came out of my mouth, the fat guy's face was already full of joy. I laughed out loud without concealing it, although I don't know why this guy is laughing at this moment, but at least it doesn't look so depressed anymore, and I laughed at the same time.

"Master Xiao, let's come out!" The fat man didn't answer my words directly, but turned his head and grinned at me, and said with a mouth full of big yellow teeth.

My heart skipped a beat, and then I asked, a little uncertainly, "You mean to say that we're coming out of that weird, infinitely looping space?" ”

After I finished speaking, the fat man nodded solemnly, agreeing with my statement. I was immediately happy, but I still asked with a little disbelief: "Tell me, you saw something in front of me, anyway, I look at it now and it's foggy, and I can't see anything." ”

The fat man turned his head again, then glanced solemnly at the front and said: "There is a huge karst cave in front, and there are stalactites that are still white above, and there is darkness in the distance, and there is nothing to see at present. However, the surrounding environment has water dripping underground, at least we can rely on this water for a longer period of time. (To be continued.) )
