Chapter Eighty-Six: The Vanishing Man
The people around who were originally roasting the fire all disappeared inexplicably. The fire on the fire was gradually extinguished, until the fire next to us was extinguished, and the area was plunged into darkness.
"Lights up, it's haunted?!" Boss Ye yelled, turned on the flashlight, and took a picture around.
"Wang Hao, pinch me, am I dreaming?" Boss Ye said in a panic.
And I haven't recovered from the momentary fear, so naturally I didn't pay attention to what Boss Ye said. It wasn't until Ah Cheng slapped me hard that I came to my senses.
"Calm down and see what's going on?" Ah Cheng snatched the flashlight from Boss Ye's hand and carefully shone on the ground around him, "Strange, how is it white ash in one place." ”
"So many living people are gone, and you are still studying these ......" Boss Ye pulled Ah Cheng's clothes and shook them back and forth.
Ah Cheng waved his hand impatiently: "Calm down, I'm not researching." With that, he crouched down, touched the ashes with his hand, and put them under his nose to smell them.
I hurriedly squatted down and asked him, "What did you find?"
Ah Cheng frowned: "It doesn't smell like firewood, I don't know what it is." ”
I subconsciously glanced at the white ash, saw that there was still a little unburned thing inside, and quickly pulled it out.
"What is this? Leg bones?" I looked at the bone-like thing in front of me and was stunned.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it." Ah Cheng stood up and took the flashlight and took a spin around here, and when he came back, he told us: "There are still footprints here, which means that they have indeed stayed here, and they are real." ”
"We're afraid we've met a ghost." Boss Ye said with palpitations, "The other side of the other side, the other side of the yang world, isn't it the underworld." ”
"Fuck you, go to the underworld by yourself." Ah Cheng rolled his eyes and scolded angrily.
"The other side......" I muttered, remembering what Zhang Qiuyun said just before he disappeared: This place is changing......
I remembered all kinds of time-related things that happened before, and combined with Zhang Qiuyun's words, I came to a conclusion: Will the time here overlap?
I told Boss Ye and Ah Cheng my idea. Boss Ye hasn't eased up yet, and he doesn't know what I said, so naturally he can't reply. And after Ah Cheng listened to what I said, he directly denied me: "If the time overlaps, then we should see the previous us." ”
"Didn't they see my grandfather?" I asked rhetorically.
Ah Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "If this is the case, the entire timeline will be messed up, how can we distinguish between the present and the past?"
I thought about it carefully, what Ah Cheng said made some sense, so how to explain the sudden disappearance of these people?
"Boss Ye, you were the first to find out, tell me what you saw?" I asked Boss Xiang Ye instead. He has finally calmed down now and can communicate with us.
"When I stood up, I saw people disappear quickly from that side, and they were gone
......" Boss Ye gasped, "You don't know that I was so scared at the time that I almost collapsed on the ground." ”
"What's the vanishing method? Where did it start to disappear?" Ah Cheng asked for details.
Boss Ye scratched his head and said uncertainly: "It seems to be ...... Probably...... It should start from that side and evaporate quickly. Boss Ye pointed in one direction.
Ah Cheng quickly shone the flashlight, and there was also a fire there.
"Why did it just disappear from there? Did anything happen? Ah Cheng then asked.
"Like...... No. After Boss Ye finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds, and suddenly jumped, "I remembered!" The fire there seemed to be the first to be extinguished. ”
"I know why that Qiuyun was the last to disappear, because this fire here is also the last to be extinguished. The problem is in this fire. Ah Cheng pointed to the thing I had just pulled out, "Or rather, the problem is this thing." ”
"Have you noticed one thing......" Boss Ye stared at us, "Is the light a little dimmer now than just now?"
"It's in the mountains, it's underground. There was no light in the first place. You saw light before because ......" Ah Cheng pointed to the stone wall above his head, "There is an everlasting lamp on the top of our block. ”
"Oh...... What should I be......" Boss Ye nodded thoughtfully, "But do you feel a little colder?"
Ah Cheng suddenly became impatient: "Don't exaggerate the atmosphere here, you're already nervous, and you're still doing psychological burdens here." ”
"Hey, don't I feel a chill in my back......" As soon as Boss Ye's words fell, Ah Cheng's flashlight suddenly turned off.
"What's going on?" I was terrified.
"Shhh......hh
"Won't it?" Boss Ye and I suddenly shrank together.
"Listen......" Ah Cheng whispered.
I listened carefully to the movements around me. This scared the chills down my back. I don't know why there are a lot of footsteps around......
"In that direction." Ah Cheng waved his hand and pointed to the green forest not far away.
Is there anyone?
My first reaction was that those people were the gold diggers of western Sichuan.
"Go up and see who is pretending to be a ghost." Ah Cheng walked up with us, "Be quiet, let's touch it slowly." "Boss Ye and I followed closely. We all try not to make a sound.
Soon, we were close to the greenery, but the footsteps were much quieter......
"What's the matter, they can't be in there, right?" Boss Ye asked quietly.
"Go inside and take a look." Ah Cheng said and walked into the green forest.
We walked cautiously for some distance behind, but we still couldn't see anyone or anything strange, but the footsteps were still not far ahead, as if they were deliberately keeping a certain distance from us.
Finally, after going a little deeper,
The footsteps were gone......
"Looks like that thing has stopped, right in front. Let's go up and have a look. Ah Cheng poked his head forward and looked forward.
"What the hell is up ahead?" I'm trying to look forward, but there's nothing.
"No matter, just go straight on." Ah Cheng pulled out his knife and rushed over first, and Boss Ye and I followed step by step.
When we jumped out of the hiding place, we found that there was an open field in front of us, and there was nothing there......
Ah Cheng looked around: "It's strange, the footsteps should have disappeared here, why is there nothing here?"
"Hey, it can't be that we actually met a ghost." Boss Ye immediately shrank up, "A series of strange things are really not a good sign. ”
When I saw Boss Ye like this, I couldn't help but quip: "You, why are you still afraid of ghosts, and you haven't done anything wrong." ”
"Having said that, but this kind of person who doesn't know the truth-" Boss Ye's words suddenly came to an abrupt end, and Ah Cheng and I also stopped walking.
I believe that this will have a special fear in our hearts. Because...... Voices came from the ground beneath our feet......
The eerie sound rang for a few seconds and then vanished...... We didn't speak for a long time afterward.
Until Boss Ye broke the silence: "You all heard it, right?" ”
Ah Cheng and I nodded mechanically.
Boss Ye continued: "Is there something down there?" ”
We nodded again......
"Dig it out, let's dig it out underneath!" Ah Cheng suddenly spoke, and then quickly opened his backpack and took out a folding shovel.
"I don't dare to dig, if I dig up the ghost, it will be fun......" Boss Ye said this, but still took out a folding shovel. I didn't hesitate and dug with them......
This soil is very soft, and it looks like it has been newly turned up. It saves us a lot of trouble. In a few moments, the three of us dug a big hole. Immediately after, Ah Cheng dug out something in that place - it was an arm.
There's a dead man buried underneath?!
Boss Ye and I hurried over to help Ah Cheng and carried the body out.
The deceased turned out to be the same middle-aged man who had spoken to us before!
My scalp started to tingle and I couldn't believe it. Boss Ye was even more frightened and sat on the ground. And Ah Cheng, who has always been bold, is also a little unstable at the moment......
After a while, Ah Chengcai changed and said: "Keep digging and seeing......"
We returned to the pit with trembling hands. Soon, one, two, three...... Numerous corpses were dug up. Fortunately, there is no Zhang Qiuyun here......
"And ......," Boss Ye shouted under the pit. I was startled, and then jumped head-on.
In the pit, the last corpse, was half dug out. I saw the familiar long hair, and the same clothes as us. My heart instantly ached as if I was dead......
