Chapter 1, The Strange Tales of City D
What's your favorite thing to do in the dead of night?
Someone will definitely answer: playing with mobile phones, there will also be people who deliberately raise the bar to say sleep, or there are energetic people who choose to exercise and read books, etc......
But before there were no mobile phones, people must not have escaped chatting in their night pastimes, and the most talked about may be that something strange happened in such and such a place, and then there will be people who echo it, and explain what they have heard about such and such things.
In the end, something that happened in such and such a place may become more and more evil and develop into a local strange story, and if you think it is complicated to understand, then you can understand that as long as there are people in a place where there will be strange stories.
As a large city with a population of 5 million, D City naturally cannot avoid the emergence of strange talks, and I don't know when the people in D City have talked about strange things for the longest time after tea and dinner, fixed in four places: high-rise buildings, near hospitals, ecological reserves, and children's playgrounds.
The four most famous urban weirdos in these four places are connected by a smooth sentence:
100-storey building block; Twin ancient trees make human voices; A woman with an umbrella will ask for her life; Sugar house kids can't be teased.
The first sentence of the 100-story building cube is that all the buildings with more than 30 floors in D City, whether it is a hotel or an office building, are not spared, and every Sunday at 10 o'clock in the evening, a mysterious force will randomly select a building and play a game of Tetris with house lights.
The selected building first had the lights of the entire building fully on, and then all the electricity-related equipment in the building failed to switch off, forcing back the people who were still working overtime in the building, and finally from the first floor to the top floor, the lights were turned off layer by layer, and the game was successfully launched.
If you get a little farther away, you'll see the building, starting from the top floor, with the lights flickering on and off and being laid out in various Tetris patterns; The graphics can also rotate and pause, and sometimes there is a real sound of Tetris coming from inside the building, and the blocks will automatically disappear when they fall into a row on the first floor.
This bizarre operation and gameplay usually takes up to two hours, and from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock the game is bound to be filled, and then the game is over.
Because the choice of this tall building is random but the time is constant, it is rumored that it is a ghost who plays with light Tetris! also made up a life story for him.
The most widely circulated is that his name was Zhang Wei before his death, he was a doctoral student majoring in interior design, and he had a girlfriend who had been in love with him for eight years, and the two agreed to get married after graduating from the doctorate.
But Zhang Wei's boss thought that he had taken a fancy to his fiancée at a party, and in order to get the right convenience, he constantly increased Zhang Wei's workload, soaring from the normal working hours of 9 to 5 to 5, and deliberately let him come to the company to work overtime all night on various holidays and anniversaries.
As for the boss himself, he used Zhang Wei's overtime work to pry his corner, all kinds of high-end gifts kept being sent, and various places kept encountering each other, and finally the corner was successfully pryed.
Just when Zhang Wei used the money earned from overtime to buy a diamond ring and was about to propose to his girlfriend to give her a future, he saw his boss actually lying on his bed, hugging his girlfriend and playing with his PSP! Two people are still playing Tetris!
It was a game that they had played since childhood, and they not only deleted all the archives, but also retyped their own records.
Zhang Wei collapsed, yelling and accusing them of ruthlessness! Threw down the ring and snatched the game console to get out of the door, ran all the way to the top floor of the company, sat on the edge of the building he cried and shouted crazy games, he secretly swore that his game performance must surpass the pair of dog men and women!
The score was getting closer and closer, and just as the last line could be eliminated to set a new record, he fell from the stairs in excitement, and his life was frozen at twelve o'clock!
Since then, he has been following his unscrupulous boss and negative fiancée wherever he goes, and threatens them with light Tetris to take revenge on them!
Finally, the pair of dog men and women died suddenly of heart attack because they were exhausted and lack of sleep due to fear, and he himself could not be eliminated because he was always in the last row, and more than ten years later, he was still resentful, turning into a ghost and wandering between various high-rise buildings looking for a boss who oppressed employees to deter.
Later, because the light Tetris occasionally appeared on the outer wall of the hotel's high-rise building, there was another version of the ending, saying that Zhang Wei was a ghost who punished cheating men and women, and threatened them to let the dog men and women hurry up and go home.
No matter how bloody the storyline is, the ever-changing version of the ending just to justify itself is magical.
Later, there was a light Tetris in that high-rise building, and the next day there would be a soul media to track down whether there was an unscrupulous boss in that building or whether he was cheating and being arrested; Coincidentally, every time something is really dug up, all kinds of new legends of dog blood and water have been boiling for a few days.
Going back to the second sentence, the twin ancient trees have a human voice, which is very weird, there is such a twin ancient tree that has lived for thousands of years in an ecological reserve near the suburbs of D city, and they are nestled against each other like a tree.
In the past, it was not an ecological park, but a developed park, and the twin ancient trees were named marriage trees, allowing all kinds of crazy men and women to tie concentric knots to the branches, hang concentric locks, and even engrave names on the trunks, of course, these behaviors are all charged by the park.
Fifty concentric knots, one hundred concentric locks, one thousand engraved names, it's hard to say where the money went, anyway, the things on the tree are often cleaned up and replaced by batches, and there are still people who don't believe that they can maintain their love if they have to be wronged, and they have to work the tree to protect their love.
After all, this tree has become fine for thousands of years, so fine that even the tree itself can't stand the behavior of these crazy men and women, and finally on the day of the Qixi Festival ten years ago, it spoke, reprimanding all the people who come to ask for marriage are stupid.
At that time, this matter also spread to the capital, in order to suppress it and not cause panic among the people, after being inspected and evaluated by professionals from the Garden Bureau, it was said that there was nothing wrong with the tree, and that there was a bird on the tree that could only learn to speak.
But after this explanation, the park was closed and turned into an ecological reserve, and even with the daily restriction of foot traffic, there are still people who say they have heard ancient trees talking.
Later, there were superstitious people who brought things to worship, and it is said that some people really saw the green-clothed boy conjured up from the ancient tree.
It has become a matter of who has a bad idea, bring two catties of apples under the ancient tree, and your troubles will be solved by the tree spirit in less than three days.
