Chapter 8: Red
"You ......"
Just when A-Ning was in shock, she suddenly heard a voice. Then she immediately turned around and saw a man and a woman on the other side of the street, about ten meters away from her!
At first, A-Ning was startled, but then she became happy again, and finally saw someone.
"You ...... Excuse me, can you lend me my phone? A-Ning ran up to the man and the woman and asked, "I, I want to contact the police!" ”
The man and the woman both showed a somewhat stunned expression, and then the woman said, "This ...... We don't have a cell phone, in fact, we're looking for a phone right now. I would like to ask, did you accidentally drop a bottle of mineral water on the ground before? ”
"Mine ...... Mineral water? A-Ning suddenly became two heads and said, "What are you talking about, I don't know." Neither of you have a cell phone? ”
Although he has lost his memory, "everyone has a mobile phone in today's era" is a common sense that will not be forgotten firmly engraved in my mind. The two of them don't have mobile phones at such an age, who can believe this?
"It's a long story. Are you from this town? The woman further asked, "Or are you also here for a tour?" ”
"This ...... Actually, I don't know. ”
The woman's eyebrows furrowed, and then she blurted out, "Do you want to tell me that you have lost your memory?" ”
"Hmm...... It may sound incredible, but I can't really remember anything. Only remember some minimal common sense of life, but no memory of any specific experiences. ”
The man was surprised and said, "This ...... It's the same as ours! Have you lost your memory too? ”
"Also??" This word suddenly plunged A-Ning's brain into chaos: "Wait, wait...... Are you telling the truth? You don't have any memories anymore? ”
The three of them looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.
After a full five seconds, the woman said, "That's it...... Let's talk to each other about our experiences. ”
About ten minutes later.
"Hmmm......"
This man and woman are naturally Dong Ning and Mr. Lan.
Dong Ning learned a lot of important information from the woman named Aning in front of her, especially about what was written in the Korean restaurant on Yumu Street.
"Can you show us around?" Dong Ning doesn't dare to trust anyone, thinking that seeing is believing, "It's really written on it...... Want to get out of town before the sun goes down? ”
This is a huge amount of information, and many possibilities can be derived in an instant.
Which one is it? She can't think of it now. So, she thought it would be better to go and see for herself.
"Wait," the man in blue asked, "and why don't we go to the owner of that water bottle?" ”
Dong Ning frowned and said: "It's been so long, and I still haven't found anyone, and I guess I won't find anyone if I look for it again." Let's take a look...... bar. ”
Ah Ning was really in turmoil now, and said, "That, Miss Dong, have you really lost your memory?" All three of us lost our memories at the same time, in the same town? ”
"Hmm. And you said that the words on your arm at that time also disappeared. It's the same for me......"
Dong Ning can be 100% sure that there is a huge conspiracy behind their loss of memory. It can't even be ruled out that there is some kind of supernatural power in this.
Yes, supernatural powers. After all, there are too many phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense. If there was a conspiracy of some group behind all this, she couldn't figure out for the time being who would benefit them by losing their memories.
At the same time, Dong Ning also has a deeper sense of vigilance against this woman named Aning. She wasn't sure if the woman was lying, and she had to see it to prove what she had provided that she hadn't seen with her own eyes. In addition, the people holding umbrellas and tattered umbrellas she said can't be taken seriously.
She kept a certain distance from Mr. Lan and A-Ning, and she didn't dare to fully trust either of them. She walked as far back as she could, not letting the two out of her sight, and even turning back from time to time to see if anyone would sneak up on her.
There must be no one else in this town now except the three of them. I'm afraid there are people watching them in the shadows, for some unknown purpose.
She had to figure out the reason behind this.
"Well, that's it. I ran too hurriedly just now, and I ......"
At that moment, she suddenly stopped.
"That's right, that's it! That...... And what about the umbrella? ”
She remembered, this was it. This is where she saw the red umbrella, but it is gone. Was it blown away by the wind? Still is?
Still is?
"Umbrella?" Mr. Lan didn't pay much attention to this: "Maybe someone picked it up, right?" ”
"Hmm...... Maybe......"
The wind is blowing again.
This time, all three of them felt that the wind was full of biting chills.
For a while, Dong Ning felt a little unable to open her eyes, so she raised her hand and closed her eyes.
When the wind had passed, she opened her eyes again, and was about to put her hand down, when suddenly she ......
Through the gap between her fingers, she saw a man standing in front of her!
The man was holding a red umbrella in his hand, and he was also dressed in scarlet clothes, and his face was covered by the umbrella!
Her hand was quickly taken down, and then she looked closely......
It's empty in front of me, where is there anyone else?
She gasped, kept backing away, raised her hand again, looked through her fingers again, and this time, she saw the figure in red clothes and holding an umbrella again!
"Let's go...... Walk...... Come on! ”
At this moment, Dong Ning was frightened, and then she began to retreat and shouted to escape.
Mr. Lan and A Ning didn't know why, but looking at Dong Ning's attitude, they also began to retreat. After all, Dong Ning's calmness and wisdom made them all faintly take her as the leader. And now, they all began to flee with Dong Ning.
I don't know how long she ran, Dong Ning turned around again, raised her hand, and didn't see any terrifying figures between her fingers, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
The worst she could have imagined had happened.
Paranormal.
"Ghost ......," she muttered, "There are ghosts in this town!" ”
Despite the loss of memory, the common sense that is retained allows both Aning and Mr. Lan to know what "ghost" means. The two looked at each other, and Mr. Lan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked cautiously, "You...... You're talking about ghosts...... Did I hear me right? ”
"Nope!" Dong Ning was still in shock at this time, and she told both of them about the terrifying scene she had just seen.
Both looked incredulous.
"It's not...... You, you're kidding me, aren't you? A-Ning's first reaction was impossible: "Ghosts? Evil spirits? No, it can't be, absolutely not! ”
"Nothing is impossible." Dong Ning said categorically: "What I saw just now was something beyond human common sense. However, common sense does not encompass all realities. ”
"Could it be that ......," Aning thought of something, "we will lose our memories, and it is also caused by evil spirits?" What is it...... Cursed? ”
"Possibly."
"Is that why you have to leave the town before the sun goes down? All the people in this town know this? Then we'll have to get out of here right away! ”
A-Ning is even more anxious now, and he can't wait to put on his wings and escape from this Youming Town.
"I'll just say...... The name of this town is unlucky! Mr. Lan is also the first two big: "Then let's get out of here as soon as possible!" ”
Dong Ning looked around, this town is basically surrounded by mountains, and it is visually difficult to judge which distance to walk to leave the town the fastest. And they are not familiar with the terrain of this town, and it may take more time to wander around like headless flies.
"What you saw at the time was saying...... Most people will leave the town, which means that a few will stay, right? After thinking for a while, Dong Ning said: "So the people who stayed, where are they, and what are the dependents of their stay?" ”
