A different world from it
It's 9 p.m. on December 17, 1999, and I've just finished my father's funeral.
Cross Township is a small, remote and quiet village with only 100 households that make a living by growing rice. My father died of illness and left me forever just five years after I returned.
I buried my father and mother together, and the cemetery was chosen on a high mountain, where the scenery is the best, looking up at the sky and now the mountains below. The land and property that would have been in my name after my father's death were transferred to my uncle's family. In return, my uncle gave me my mother's home address.
According to my uncle, my parents' union did not receive the blessing of my mother's family because my father did not meet my grandfather's requirements. Against this background, the mother eloped to her father's hometown. After my mother's death, my father, who was already guilty, was even more shameless to face my parents-in-law, and only wanted to raise me to adulthood.
Now that my parents are gone, I should go to my grandfather's house to show my face.
In addition to the address, my uncle gave me a hairpin. This is what my grandmother took away from my mother when she ran away. Once upon a time when it was difficult. The mother once used the hairpin as a hairpin, and after getting through the difficulties, it was redeemed by the father. After that, it was kept at my uncle's house.
"With this, at least your grandmother won't disbelieve that you are her granddaughter." Uncle said. Hand me the hairpin.
This hairpin is inlaid with green gemstones, and the hollowed-out hairpin body is carved with tiny flowers, and its level of detail is stunning.
"I see." I replied and put the hairpin in the wooden box.
Early the next morning, I set out on my way alone with a little luggage on my back.
Since that day, my body has changed dramatically. First of all, there was no sound of my heart beating in my chest. In addition, I didn't have any emotional ups and downs. Even at my father's funeral, I was able to remain indifferent. My memory tells me that I should have cried at that time, and it was understandable that I would break everything in disbelief and even emotion. The fact is that I was mechanically running the whole funeral.
But the skeleton man said one thing wrong, and I didn't lose my five senses. Instead, it's amplified. The senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell are all sensitive, allowing me to get a lot of superfluous information.
Aside from what the skeleton had said before the deal, my eyes could see what I shouldn't see, and my ears could hear the voices buried in my heart. The physical fitness has also grown by leaps and bounds, and the strength is endless, and it is not a problem to fly the eaves and walk the wall. Finally, the speed of wound recovery, by chance, when I was helping my father cook, the kitchen knife slipped and cut into the finger of my left hand. After a few drops of blood, the wound quickly returned to its original state under my gaze.
All that said, that deal may have turned me into a different species.
Aside from the abnormalities in my body, after I came back from the slit between life and death. The world has changed. Maybe it's better to put it another way, because I came back from somewhere that I see a different side of the world.
A side that cannot be seen as an ordinary person.
The first option to leave Cross Township was to take a bus to the town, and then to take a bus to the train station, and my uncle gave me a lot of money before leaving. So that I can travel easily.
This town is the place that governs Cross Township, and it is called Hengguang Town. It has a large population, and because there are many traces of the ancients in the past, many scenic spots have been developed. Among them, stone carvings are the most famous.
The place I'm going to is a place called Ya'an City, which is 6 hours away by train from Hengguang Town.
I boarded the train at 2 p.m., at the very front of the carriage, by the window. The train stopped for only 15 minutes before it restarted. This is not the first time I've been out of the house, the last accident happened when I was out alone. It's just that I can't remember the reason for that trip.
Every time I tried to remember, there was a thin curtain that blocked that part of the memory. If I tried to lift it, it would suddenly disappear again.
Most of the scenery along the train is a mountain crater or a river that is interspersed with parts of these different towns.
I was completely focused on the window, letting the scenery pass by. Until - his appearance.
Before I came back, I had always thought that the world was simple, and although there were many species in the world, most of them could not escape the cycle of living things. But when I opened my eyes again, it was a different picture.
Every now and then I see, hear, even touch, those things. It's like the one lying at my feet, it has turquoise skin, limbs like a child, and eyes that are unusually large.
I don't know what it is, and it's pretty normal what I've seen in the last few years.
Even though I remember screaming and even fainting every time I saw them, I was actually in a state of flux. Because I don't have the feeling of 'fear'. Even if I knew what it was like, I couldn't express it in reality, and I couldn't understand it. The most I can do is ignore it.
What broke this situation came from a bullet that came from the top of the carriage, pierced through the thick roof of the train, and finally pierced it at my feet. The space distorted at this time, and the temperature around it also dropped. The half-length of a man appeared outside the window that I had been looking at.
He noticed a flash of doubt in my eyes as I looked at him, and after recovering quickly, he reached out and knocked on the glass door, saying, "Can you let me in?" ”
I can be sure that he is not an ordinary person. Looking back at the other people in the carriage, they were either reading books and newspapers or closing their eyes to recuperate. No one noticed anything out of the ordinary. The men who sat in the row next to me were even more fascinated by the reading. I didn't even notice the sound of knocking on the glass.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." He repeated it again, with a hearty smile.
"Step back up." I replied.
He cooperated and put the upside-down body upside down, and waited for me to push the window up. He was able to drill in flexibly.
"Thanks, it's too windy outside. I'm going to be blown away when I sit on it again. After seeing that I sat back in my place, he asked, "Which unit are you from, why haven't you seen it before?" ”
"I'm not."
"Don't pretend, I know, some troops just like to be mysterious, but it's also a colleague, if I knew you were here, I wouldn't have to bring my people here." He sat down in the empty seat across from me.
"I'm just an ordinary citizen."
"What are you kidding, I've never heard of a normal person being able to see me in a cognitively impeded way. And ghosts. ”
There were words in his words that I hadn't heard before, and it was a way for me to know the general name of something. 'Ghost'
The train continued to move forward, and two more men and women arrived as I spoke to him. That's when I noticed that they were dressed uniformly. It was a gray overalls with red strips of cloth tied to the sleeves of his arms. Even the shoes are the same. Behind his back was a black weapon.
"What kind of organization are you?" I asked.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally he replied: "We are from Group M, and I am the captain Mo Han." After speaking, he pointed to another man and a woman who came later. "They are my teammates, the male is called Qi Ze, and the female is called Sisi. ”
"Now it's your turn to introduce yourself." Mo Han smiled after speaking.
My eyes and ears told me that he was a very responsible person, and he was not good at lying, and from what he thought and said when we met, he was the same. Although the appearance is ordinary, the eyes are beautiful, and the eye color is a little lighter than many people, and it is a beautiful gray.
Compared with Mo Han, Qi Ze is much more handsome. His expression was soft and consistent with his heart.,It's a person who loves to play tricks.,From the time he came over to now.,Although he hasn't talked to me yet.,But he's been looking at me.。
Sisi is a cheerful girl, petite and cute, but strong inside. She is also always smug in her informality. Her eyesight didn't seem to be very good, and she kept adjusting her glasses, so she didn't pay much attention to me.
"My name is Shi Yao."
"That's it?" Qi Ze interjected: "Girl, do you belong to that group?" Is there still a shortage of people? If I don't mind, I can take a look. ”
"Shut up, you," Sisi stood on tiptoe and slapped Qi Ze mercilessly. Then he squeezed past him and came to me. He looked at me at the level of the seated me, "She's really not from our organization. ”
It seemed that this was said to me, but it was actually said to Mo Han.
"That's weird, it stands to reason that ordinary people can't move freely in this space." Mo Han said.
"Is there something wrong with this space?"
"Didn't you notice?" Qi Ze looked around the train and said, "No one in the entire train is moving except us. ”
At this time, the noisy sound that had filled my ears suddenly disappeared. The sudden silence made me a little uncomfortable. I followed Qi Ze's example and looked around the train, and found that the passengers sitting there were indeed motionless.
But before Zizzer told me, I could clearly hear different voices from different people.
Sisi said: "You can't have been unaware of it before Qi Ze said it, right?" ”
I nodded.
This situation is a bit similar to when the skeleton man meets.
Mo Han said: "In that case, then I can only trouble you to go with us." ”
"Where to go?"
"Our home base, we are the people who are active on the back side of this world. In order to balance the world of humans and ghosts. The job is to clear the anomaly as soon as it is found, little girl, you are obviously one of the anomalies. For the sake of your conversation, we won't be rude. ”
"Not yet."
"Why?"
"I have to find my grandparents first."
I told the three of them the purpose of my trip, and although I could still tell that the three of them were still suspicious of me, I was fortunate to say that "she didn't lie." Only then did he dispel the doubts of the other two. I also learned from this that the trust of the three of them is very unusual.
"If you don't mind, we'll go with you, where are you going?" Zi Ze moved the man who was not moving next to me and sat down on his own.
"I'm going to Shangshe Village in Ya'an City. My grandfather's family remembered that his surname was Yang. "Probably the biggest problem after losing my heart is that I can't lie anymore, and when people ask me, I can only answer truthfully except ignore it. When I finished speaking, Sisi first turned her head unhappily, and she sat next to Mo Han when Qi Ze sat next to me, and the four of us filled the seats in four corners.
The overly sensitive five senses sent a signal of discomfort, and the three of them were silent for a while at the same time. I raised a question mark over their silence about the place they were about to arrive: "Is there something wrong with this place?" ”
"This place ......" It was Mo Han who spoke, his expression changed from his previous indifference, and he said solemnly: "There is no more." ”
I opened my mouth, but I didn't say anything.
Just like when my father died, I could only be quiet, and I could not feel the atmosphere of sadness. After a long time, I said, "I see." "As a result, none of my relatives who have direct blood with me are gone.
The attitude of no one next to her seemed to provoke Sisi, and she said: "The whole village is gone, do you only have one sentence I know?" Mo Han tried to stop Sisi from continuing, but she glared back at her. She went on to say, "Aren't you worried about where your family lives?" ”
What interrupted me next was a deafening scream coming from the front of the train. Qi Ze reacted the fastest, pulled up the window and leaned out to look at the situation, and came back and said, "I knew that things were not resolved so quickly, it was a big guy." With that, he climbed out of the window first.
Sisi smacked his lips, feeling unhappy that the conversation was interrupted, but he also acted quickly and went out, Mo Han was last, and said to me after leaving: "Does the little girl want to see what it is?" ”
After the two of them left, the whole carriage returned to normal. If I stay, what awaits me is only the place in Shangshe Village that no longer exists, so what if I go out? What kind of world would it be......
"I want to see it."
Facing my extraordinarily serious tone, Mo Han smiled. After I left without any problems, I reached out and pulled me out.
