In the summer of 2025, the west of Ping'an Town.

On August 10th, the sky was clear and the sun was shining warmly.

Zhao Yu looked at the explanation on the mobile phone channel and felt that it was nonsense.

"Professor Li, what is your opinion on the unusual direction of the moonlit night a few days ago? Why did the moon turn scarlet like blood on the night of the 8th, and a gray mist filled the sky? ”

"Host, the reason why the moon has become scarlet and bloody is by no means a supernatural phenomenon, but an extremely rare phenomenon of moon shadow projection...... The appearance of gray fog is actually a manifestation of haze, and its appearance is to warn us to pay attention to environmental protection issues, and gray fog is a high-concentration haze gathering to form ......"

Zhao Yu was very panicked about what happened a few days ago, so he searched for relevant links.

"Ping'an Town Major Event Notice - The provincial authorities would like to extend their greatest apologies to the masses, because the work of the Provincial Health Bureau is not rigorous, resulting in the occurrence of major casualties caused by the special reaction of chemical products in the Jinyunlan Hotel in the north of Ping'an Town, the provincial authorities have an unshirkable responsibility, and the central authorities have decided to seriously deal with the relevant responsible persons, and at the same time, the provincial authorities have decided to carry out a large-scale investigation operation for the safety of the people, resolutely leaving no dead ends, and resolutely safeguarding the safety of the people......"

Zhao Yu's heart did not fluctuate, although he did not know very clearly about the incident in the north of the city, but he knew that this was definitely not the case. When he was buying furniture in the north of the city a few days ago, when the road was not completely closed, standing on the bustling street, he felt the boundless darkness, which was an indescribable weird horror. Give him a bottomless, biting chill. The heart told him:

Dangerous! Dangerous! Dangerous! Let's go, there's a big horror here! Let's go!!

When he walked on the tram, he found that it was too dead and silent, and there were many insects and birds chirping, but now he couldn't even see the ants. It's weird.

The night I got home that day, I had a nightmare that caused me to fall asleep at work the next day and was blamed by my boss.

Zhao Yu felt very tired and took a lunch break.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yu was very satisfied with the design plan he submitted, and he increased investment, so the department manager rewarded him with 5,000 yuan.

Zhao Yu was very happy, and in order to sweep away the sorrows of the previous few days, he invited two friends who had a good relationship to go out to dinner. The three of them walked to the food stall on Ewha Street.

The streets are sparsely populated and not as bustling as they used to be. Pedestrians are scared and fast, as if they want to go straight to the end.

The three of them talked as they walked.

"Brother Wang, Brother Tan, do you say that this world has changed? Getting a little weird? Zhao Yu asked suspiciously.

"Xiao Zhao, the world is a little different! But what can we do if we are just ordinary people? Wang Guan said with emotion.

"Lao Wang, Xiao Zhao, let's stop worrying about this idleness, just take care of ourselves!" Tan Wen said helplessly.

"Even if there is anything, it is not our turn to take care of the common people, the sky has fallen and there are tall people!"

When I arrived at the food stalls, there were not many people eating here at this time.

Zhao Yu was puzzled and asked, "Lao Li, don't you usually have a lot of people?" What's going on today? ”

Lao Li sighed and said helplessly: "It's not what happened in the north of the city a few days ago, it happened again at midnight last year, I heard that the most popular food stall in the north of the city died tragically, and the one who died was miserable!" Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to go out, for fear that something would happen! ”

"Lao Li, then how dare you work at night?"

"If you don't do it, you can't do it, the whole family will live by this business!"

"If I want to have another livelihood, I won't continue to do this night job!"

"Lao Li, you are difficult enough."

"Xiao Zhao, what to eat today?"

"50 skewers of barbecue, three dishes of vegetarian dishes, three bottles of liquor".

"Okay, right away."

After a while, the dishes came up, and Zhao Yu and the other two chatted while eating.

Zhao Yu said with emotion: "Our small place has been stable for many years, what is going on this year?" Eventful period! ”

This is Lao Li just finished being busy, sitting next to him to rest, hearing this, he added: "Yes, the changes in this world are unbelievable!"

"Lao Li, let's have another 20 skewers of barbecue!"

"Okay, right away!" Lao Li left again.

Zhao Yu said suspiciously, "A few days ago, I was buying furniture in the north of the city, and I saw that some places were sealed, and even the armed police were dispatched!" That's a bustling business district! What's going on? ”

"I heard my cousin at the police station say that a lot of people died there?"

Tan Wen asked in a low voice: "Lao Wang, your family lives in the north of the city, do you know what has happened in the past few days?"

Wang Guan's face turned pale, and he said with great fear: "I don't know, don't ask me, don't ask me around, don't ask around, this thing is not simple, it is not done by people!"

"What, how is this possible?" Zhao Yu pretended to be very shocked.

"Isn't it a notice that a gas leak caused a special situation?" Zhao Yu replied suspiciously.

"Nonsense, people from other places don't know, we don't know what's going on!"

"That official announcement is just to maintain the normal order of life, covering up a lot of things!"

"Your brother Wang, I'm a little confused until now!"

"I'll tell you the truth, don't tell me, your brother Wang and I have been warned by the police station not to spread it!"

"It's just that we have a good relationship!"

Wang Wan looked around and whispered.

"At the beginning, when I was discovered, I stunned a lot of people, you don't know how weird that scene is, and your brother Wang is also one of the people who called the police! It's scary to think about it now. ”

"I don't think it's made by people at all, I'm thinking about going to the temple in a few days to ask for a few amulets to protect your sister-in-law and nephew!"

Tan Wen interjected, "My cousin said that the case is weird!" I can't take care of it, the land has been sealed off, and it is forbidden to enter!"

Zhao Yu said loudly: "Today is a happy day, it's me who is wrong, I will punish myself with a cup, and everyone will continue to eat!"

Zhao Yu said again, "Brothers, drink it, cheers!" The other two said loudly: "Okay, today, my brothers will accompany you without getting drunk, cheers!".

The starlight flickered, and Wang Wan said helplessly: "Alas, you are really, if you can't drink it, don't force it to drink!"

So, Tan Wen and Wang Wan took Zhao Yu and sent them home!

"I'm not drunk, my brother is drinking, and then drinking, not drunk today!" Zhao Yu muttered to himself.

Wang Guan said with a headache: "Okay! Good! We'll drink again tomorrow! As he spoke, he knocked on the door of Zhao Yu's house.

With a creak, the door opened, and Zhao Yu's father walked out.

"Uncle, Zhao Yu has drunk too much, you give him some hangover soup first, and then help him back to the room to rest!

"Xiao Wang Xiao Tan, thank you very much, this stinky boy has bothered you!"

"Why don't you sit here?"

"No, I still have something to do at home, I'll go first," Tan Wen Wang Wan said quickly.

"Okay, go slowly!".

Zhao Yu's father helped Zhao Yu, and after relieving him of his hangover, he sent Zhao Yu back to Zhao Yu's room to rest.

Besides, Zhao Yu was lying on the bed by himself, and a voice suddenly appeared in his head.

"Ding".

He didn't care. There was a snoring sound, and he fell asleep with his head covered.
