Chapter 12: Footsteps
Dong Ning slowly pushed open the door.
This room with a balcony was messy and tricky to walk around.
She walked step by step to the balcony, where she had just seen the man holding the umbrella.
"Is there really a ghost in this world?"
As soon as she said this, she looked to the side and was suddenly stunned.
She found that under the bed next to her, there was an umbrella!
Red umbrella!
It's a red umbrella again!
Now when Dong Ning sees the red umbrella, it can almost be said that he will reflexively produce fear.
"Look!"
Several people who were at the door also ran in and saw the red umbrella.
"My God...... Ah Ning covered his mouth, "how many red umbrellas are there?" ”
Dong Ning looked at the umbrella, and recalled the video content he saw on the USB flash drive, and his heart tightened.
"I always felt that there was a force in the dark that was preventing us from finding the truth."
A-Ning also nodded and said, "On this point, I completely agree with you. ”
"How?" The man with the middle head came over and asked, "You...... Any clues? ”
"When you woke up, did you have any paper or anything like that?"
"This ...... No. We only found this USB stick, and we didn't have anything else on us that could prove our identity. ”
Dong Ning's gaze locked on the red umbrella in front of him, and then said: "When Mr. Lan and I woke up, we both had a piece of paper under us. So I know my name is Dong Ning. ”
After thinking for a while, the man in "Dong Ning ......" thought, "Well, to be honest, I don't remember this name at all. ”
"It's normal, I don't remember the name at all." Dong Ning smiled bitterly, "I'm not even 100% sure if this is really my name." ”
She didn't dare to trust all the information she received so far, including those around her. She now wonders if there is a culprit among these people who has made her lose her memory.
"And then ......," she looked at Aning again, "you also wrote on your arm at the time, but after a while the words were gone." That USB flash drive too, the video inside was taken by you, but now, the content inside is actually automatically formatted. ”
Everyone looked at each other.
"At least one thing is certain......"
Dong Ning pointed to the middle of the finger, then pointed at A-Ning, and said, "You are likely to know each other before you lose your memory, otherwise your USB flash drive would not be in his pants pocket." ”
"But the place where we woke up was completely different." A-Ning also felt weird about this: "Judging from the video, I should be a foreigner who came here for the first time......"
"There are other people around you when you shoot the video." Dong Ning continued to analyze: "At that time, I noticed that the shadows on the ground, one is you, and there are several shadows around you, when your shadow moves, other shadows also move. The people around you may be the ones who are us. ”
"So we all knew people before we lost our memory?"
"Then why do we lose our memories?"
"That's right, collective amnesia, that's weird."
This amnesia can be said to be extremely thorough, remembering almost all the common sense of life, but not remembering the specific life experience at all.
"You remember history, politics, geography, basic physics, biology, right?"
"Well, I remember." Zhong Fentou nodded and said, "It seems that there is some very extensive knowledge, I'm afraid that even if we recover our memory, we can't remember when we first learned about this knowledge." Only knowledge that fits this condition will we remember. ”
Truly...... Most people don't remember when they first knew about one plus one, or when they first knew that the earth was round, but the knowledge itself is still deeply imprinted in the brain after losing their memory. Only the specific life experience has been lost, not even the slightest.
"There must be some mystery to this red umbrella...... But on the surface, it is also an ordinary umbrella? Zhong Fen walked up to the umbrella, squatted down and looked at it carefully, after all, he didn't have those weird horror experiences, and he was a little bolder.
He picked up the red umbrella, walked to the balcony, stretched it open, and looked at it......
"It looks ordinary...... It's just a red umbrella. ”
Seeing the middle head holding up the red umbrella, Dong Ning's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Quick, put the umbrella away!"
She had a strange intuition in her heart at this time, if she kept wearing this umbrella, I was afraid that something terrible would happen!
The man in the middle was stunned, so he had to put the umbrella away and put it aside.
"Anyway, let's walk out of this town first."
The content of the video just now also left a deep impression on Zhongfentou.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The shorter man also said: "After all, the video just now seems to talk about something terrible that will happen at midnight." ”
It was still very early at midnight, but all of those people chose to flee before midnight, which shows that it is not safe now.
"What are the five of us here for?" Aning held his chin and pondered, "I don't think it's possible that we're here to travel." The places to visit are all scenic spots, and if it is a famous tourist destination, it is impossible not to know the secrets of the night that everyone in this town knows. ”
"This town is obviously very closed to the outside world, the town is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and most of the streets do not even have street signs, I am afraid that it is a very remote and isolated place." Dong Ning began to say his analysis: "So the secrets of the town are only known to the people in the town. Every year, only May 28 is the day after nightfall, and what happens to them is terrified. And this mysterious event will reach its peak at midnight...... I suspect that the few who remain will choose to leave the town before then. ”
"Let's find out if there's a map of the town." Dong Ning couldn't think of any results in the end, and said: "Without a map, we are not familiar with the road, and it is likely that we will take a long detour, and with a map, we can find a path out of the town as quickly as possible." ”
"Okay...... "A-Ning glanced at the room, all kinds of things were stacked in a mess, "Can we find it?" ”
"If it's possible...... It's even better to find the secrets of this town after dark. Dong Ning still has some hope for this, "Otherwise, I will not be solid in my heart after all." ”
This point, whether it is Dong Ning or others, is the same.
What exactly is the terrible calamity that will befall this town at night...... What the?
Haunted?
"It's really messy...... "A-Ning picked up the things scattered on the ground one by one, and at the same time wondered in her heart, was the video she shot before? Indeed, it was her voice that came from within.
In my memory, who is the person who called himself "A-Ning"? Although there is only a momentary memory, the voices of the others do not feel like that person.
What must be said......
She seemed to feel very close to the person she remembered calling her. It's not a relative, it's a lover, it's not like an ordinary friend.
"Who is that man?"
She continued to pack her things, and finally, she cleared an empty space on the ground.
"Hoo ......"
Most of the clothes were scattered on the ground, and she hoped to find some newspapers and books and the like, which could be considered clues to some extent.
But after rummaging for a long time, I still didn't find the most critical thing.
That's when ......
"Da" ......
"Da" ......
"Da" ......
This voice sounds very weird.
Everyone's faces became ugly.
The footsteps were so strange. The interval between the two steps is almost as mechanical as a pendulum.
A-Ning's first reaction was to rush to the door and close the door gently. Then, she pulled a chair and shut the door.
Dong Ning looked at everyone and made a "shhh
Afterwards, everyone gathered on the balcony. In case something is wrong, jump off the balcony.
The footsteps were getting closer...... Getting closer......
Finally, when I was at the door, I stopped!
