Chapter 2: The Empty City
Looking at the sun that was gradually engulfed by the horizon, Dong Ning's heart began to have a strong uneasiness.
At the same time, she looked at the man in blue beside her from time to time, beware if he would suddenly reveal his true face and attack her at some point. If that's the case, the consequences are unimaginable.
"We lost our memories at the same time...... It's obvious and can't be a coincidence. ”
"Well, why then?" The man in blue obviously had a blank brain at this time, and he didn't understand why he was in such a situation at all.
Dong Ning glanced at him, thought for a long time, and said, "I don't know. Is there any way to make two people lose their memories at the same time. But the point is, I had a piece of paper under me with my name written on it, and there should be some information about me behind it......"
When Dong Ning said this, she glanced at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west, and said, "But this is really wrong. The person who wrote that paper, and the one who makes us lose our memory...... Assuming that our amnesia is man-made, what is the purpose of that piece of paper? Can the information provided to us really be trusted? ”
Dong Ning expressed high doubts about the authenticity of that piece of paper. In other words, Dong Ning is probably not her real name.
Looking at the intersection, no matter which direction you look, there is no one there. She also didn't know which direction to go and could find people.
From a distance, it's clear that the town is surrounded by a number of lofty mountains, and it's clear that it's quite remote. The surrounding streets are full of some extremely simple and dirty truths and shops, in this lonely environment, not to mention that no one can be found, even if someone can be found, Dong Ning does not dare to trust the other party easily.
"I want to think about it...... I want to think about ......"
Dong Ning subconsciously raised her hand and picked up her bangs, she didn't know why she was doing this action, she always felt that it seemed that by doing this, her thinking would be smoother.
"We ...... You have to find a place where you can call and call the police. After thinking about it for a while, she came to this conclusion: "Although it looks like all the shops around here are closed, keep looking, and maybe you can find a place with a public phone." ”
"But we don't have a penny on us, even if we find a public phone, we ......"
"I hope we can find a good Samaritan, otherwise ......" She thought about it and said to the man in blue: "Listen, next, if we meet a local here, we must not let the other party know, we have lost our memory." Otherwise, we are the best target for traffickers and scammers. ”
The man in blue is just that, Dong Ning asked herself that a young woman like herself is simply the best target for trafficking. She could tell from what she was wearing that she could hardly be a local, and she could deduce the price and economic level of the town by looking around. And a lonely amnesiac weak woman from other places, once she meets a bad person, what will happen to her, you can imagine it.
"Human traffickers? I'm a big man, what's there to be trafficked......"
"Organs." Dong Ning pointed to his heart, and then his fingers gradually slipped down, and said: "Human organs are very valuable, and young and healthy people are even more so. This is especially true for foreigners who have lost their memories. Our dress and temperament are clearly different from this place, and the locals must be able to tell at a glance. ”
Dong Ning's hand clearly pointed out all the organ parts, and the scalp of the man in blue was numb.
"Have you really lost your memory? How do you know everything......"
"Well, although I lost my memory, I still won't forget some ordinary knowledge." Dong Ning replied.
"And ...... Why do you keep picking up your bangs? ”
"Hmm...... I don't know, maybe I think that the bangs are longer and will obscure my vision and prevent me from thinking. ”
Dong Ning said this, glanced around again, and said, "In this way, let's go this way." ”
So, Dong Ning and the man in blue moved towards a selected position.
Along the way, I saw some grocery stores, tailor shops, and snack bars from time to time, all of which were closed without exception. In front of these closed shops, no notices were posted.
"In front of these shops, there is not even a house number, how deserted this place is." Dong Ning carefully observed the surrounding shops, and her brain was running rapidly: "There is still no notice." All of these shops closed at the same time. ”
"Looks like something special happened, right? For example, this area is going to be demolished or something? ”
"There are so many shops on such a long street that are all demolished, and there is not a single nail household, so cooperative?" Dong Ning obviously felt that this was not very reasonable, she always felt that she was afraid that no matter how she went, she would not be able to find a store that was open.
"And ......"
She pointed to some of the chains in front of the shop and said, "These chains are too new, there is no dust at all, let alone rust." It's the same around here, there's not a bit of dust. Other words...... It didn't take long for the shops here to be locked. Even if someone wants to demolish it, it is impossible for all the people in so many stores to accept the demolition at the same time, right? ”
"So, what's going on?"
Dong Ning subconsciously lifted her bangs again.
"There must be some special circumstance that makes so many people in the store prefer to close their doors and not do business. Even if it is a national holiday, it is impossible for so many shops to close en masse! If it's a big city during the Spring Festival, it's a small town that's obviously similar to the countryside, so it should be even more lively during the New Year. ”
"This ...... What are the special cases? ”
"Obviously, the economy of this small town is not going to be very high, so every day is going to be critical. Everyone is collectively out of business, there must be some force majeure.?
"Typhoon? Earthquake? ”
"The weather doesn't look like it was on the eve of a typhoon, the earthquake...... It is clearly not like an earthquake has been experienced here, unless a very accurate earthquake prediction is made, but this seems unlikely. ”
"This ...... Then I really can't think of any reason. ”
"The people here...... Leaving here en masse for some reason, and, not so long ago. ”
Not so long ago......
So, the question is, why did she and the man in blue wake up here and lose their memories after the people in this town moved out en masse for some reason?
Fear...... This is not a simple act of God.
At this time, the surrounding sky was getting darker and darker. And this town has no artificial light at all, so the surroundings are getting darker and darker.
This also made Dong Ning's heart begin to become more uneasy.
"Keep walking around and see ......"
Dong Ning didn't know what to do for a while. They had no ID cards, mobile phones and wallets, and they had no way to stay in a hotel, so they had to sleep on the street. But in this way, it is inevitably too unsafe. Moreover, she wondered if the town was deserted now.
While walking, she picked up a few stones on the ground and immediately hammered them into her pocket.
"You take this stone ......" The man in blue looked at this scene and asked, "Are you planning to make weapons?" ”
"Well, just in case." Dong Ning then added: "You are a man anyway, so you don't need to take it." ”
She couldn't let the other person have the same weapon, and then she wouldn't have any advantage. Although these stones are not particularly large, they can still protect themselves somewhat in case of any danger. She hammered the stone into her pocket and took it out for a surprise attack.
I walked to the front of the road again, and some houses that were clearly residential began to appear in front of me. And these rooms, when it gets dark, have no light.
Dong Ning took chances, walked to the front of a room, and began to knock on the door, but after a long time, no one opened the door.
"The house around here......" The man in blue also glanced around, and the more he looked, the more panicked he became: "It seems that there is really no one here?" ”
"There's no dust on this door, either." Dong Ning wiped it on the door with his fingers, and it didn't get much dust, "Whether it's a house or a shop, everyone moved out of here en masse not long ago. ”
Dong Ning is now more and more sure of one thing.
This place...... Soon a terrible calamity will befall you.
Terrifying to ...... Let everyone leave en masse!
