Chapter 95: The Day of the Sacrifice

"You're good to go!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, at the Yunjin County Guest Source Hotel, Lao Liu waved his hand with a smile on his face and watched Xu Yi leave.

It wasn't until I couldn't see Xu Yi's back anymore that I was really relieved.

"It's a shame now! Treat people as ghosts all the way. ”

Lao Liu sighed deeply, turned around and walked into the hotel.

On the other side,

Walking on the streets that were both familiar and unfamiliar, Xu Yi's steps were relatively slow, and his calm gaze swept over the houses and green belts on both sides of the street.

The familiar old house can vaguely see the appearance of three years ago, with mottled walls and slightly yellowed tiles, as if telling the changes of time in the past three years.

Unfamiliar brand new buildings, reflecting the brilliant neon lights on both sides of the street, reflecting the crowds coming and going.

In the newly built green belt on both sides, you can also see some fresh red and yellow soil, which must have been completed not long ago.

In the past, Xu Yi came back to worship his parents, and his mood was very low, often just lived at home for a day, and then returned to work, and he never returned to his hometown during the New Year's holiday, so he never had a good look at this county town for more than ten years.

"It's a big change!"

Looking at the proportion of new and old buildings on both sides, as well as the lively crowd, and the lively shops around, Xu Yi sighed in his heart.

Walking through the long commercial street, Xu Yi turned a corner and walked into a street that looked a little old, but it was more lively.

Here, it is a famous place in the entire Yunjin County and even the entire closed city - Yunjin Food Street

As soon as I walked into the snack street, a strong fragrance came to my face, which included the aroma of barbecued meat, the fragrance of pancakes, and the fragrance of zongzi with the characteristics of Yunjin County, which made people have a great appetite and couldn't help but want to eat a big meal.

Xu Yi looked at the small food street that had changed in front of him, and it seemed that it had not changed, and his thoughts were surging, and the memories of the past appeared in his mind, and finally, it turned into a soft sigh.

Xu Yi calmly walked through the lively street and into the dark night.

……

Xu Yi's home is located on the edge of the county seat, and when he arrives at the county seat, he walks through the commercial street, the snack street, and the path through a forest to get to the community where his home is located.

As soon as I walked out of the crowded street, the atmosphere was completely different, like two different worlds, and the quiet darkness quietly surged up, enveloping Xu Yi and isolating his popularity.

"Was it just overnight that the situation got so serious? Or did I not even have the qualifications to find out before? ”

Xu Yi walked slowly in the dark and quiet grove, there was a dead silence all around, and the insects that should have been chirping vividly seemed to be asleep, turning the entire forest into a silent world.

Under Xu Yi's eyes, the dead forest interprets different scenes.

The forest, which should have been pitch black, emitted a misty and colorful light, from far to near, layered, making the entire grove seem to be shrouded in a layer of colorful light veil.

Countless starlight escaped from the trees, floating in the air, as if there were countless fireflies flying, full of a dreamlike beauty, setting off this grove like a fairyland, just like the place where the beautiful, pure and kind forest spirits live in the novel.

However, the strange thing is that in the forest, under the countless dreamy starlight and hazy light veil, the shrill and bell-like laughter echoes faintly, and in this dead and silent forest, it is extremely terrifying.

Xu Yi was unmoved, slowly raised his feet, and stepped into this fairyland-like assimilation world, under his "audience life", the little starlight floating in the forest was the innocent and flawless thoughts of a child.

"There must be elves living in the forest!"

"They must have hid during the day and only come out to play at night!"

“……”

It is precisely because of the blending of these many innocent thoughts that this fairytale dream world is formed.

Xu Yi recalled that this forest seemed to have existed since he was very young, and adults and children in Yunjin County liked to come to play, and some children even ran here at night to hide and seek, which was very unsafe.

Later, the adults made up a story that there were elves in the grove who would come out to play at night, and that they would be sad if the children ran to disturb them.

After listening to this story, the children really rarely run to the forest at night to play.

As a result, the story has been passed down through generations of children.

"Presumably that's why!"

Xu Yi looked at the dream forest in front of him and smiled, there was also one of the children at that time.

"It's a pity that everything is fake, and there is no need to be true."

Xu Yi mentally understands that if you really want to have a group of elves like the children think, it is not necessarily a good thing for this world. Once their spirituality is polluted, they will become the most terrible killers of the night.

"So!"

Xu Yi took another step, and the qi and blood in his body surged, like a great river, surging, and the power of domineering qi and blood enveloped him, impacting this fragile dream world.

Wherever Xu Yi went, it was like water vapor, evaporated by the fiery essence and yang energy on his body.

Seeing so many thoughts disappear with the dissipation of this fragile dream world, the demon shadow in Xu Yi's pupils flickered slightly, and he finally gave up.

When Xu Yi walked through the grove, the sound of insects sounded again, and everything returned to its previous appearance.

The outside of the community is still the same, there is a small garden between the entrance and exit, and there is a big stone in the garden, and the big stone is engraved with three big characters - Yunjin Yuan.

This is the most representative community in Yunjin County in the early days, so it can be named "Yunjin".

Xu Yi's parents bought a house here very early and kept it until the accident, and the rest was provided by the insurance company.

The security guard at the door is a young brother, Xu Yi has never seen it before, and it is estimated that he was recruited recently.

Xu Yi was just about to walk in after swiping the card, when the other party walked out.

"Are you the owner of that building?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

The security guy looked at him suspiciously.

"Six buildings on the eighth floor, Xu Yi, there are records inside." Xu Yi said, then turned around and walked into the community.

"Okay, I'll take a look back."

The security guy answered, and really turned around and went back to the security room to get the information book.

……

"Click......"

As the door opened, the dull air came to his face, Xu Yi walked into the room, turned on the light, closed the door, put the backpack on the sofa, and then walked to the windowsill and opened the window.

A fresh night breeze blows in, constantly taking away the dreary air.

Xu Yi walked to a bedroom, stopped, opened the door, Xu Yi walked in, turned on the light, the room was still the same, because the doors and windows were closed tightly, so there was no dust in the house.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back!"

Xu Yi looked at the two black and white photos placed at the head of the bed and showed a bright smile.
