Zhao Qingyu and Li Feiyu first went to the commissary downstairs, and in the dense fog of shadows, the door of the commissary was faintly open.

The entrance of the store, which is usually very lively, is very quiet at this time, and you can't hear a single human voice.

As soon as Li Feiyu was about to go inside, Zhao Qingyu grabbed him, glanced at him, and asked him not to act rashly.

"Is anyone there?" She shouted tentatively.

No one responded.

Li Feiyu also did the same, his lung capacity was sufficient, his voice was loud, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Is there anyone in the store?" ”

In response to them, Li Feiyu's aftermath lingered, and in the dense fog that could not be seen, the usually rough male voice became extremely ethereal at this time, and the scalps of the two of them were numb when they heard it.

Zhao Qingyu: "Don't shout, it's very wrong here, in case you shout so loudly, it will be over if you attract something strange." ”

When Li Feiyu heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, and muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't you remind me earlier just now......"

"Alright, there's definitely no one here." Zhao Qingyu walked in first, the lights in the commissary are usually a little dim, but at this time, with the fog, it was even more drowsy and couldn't see anything.

Zhao Qingyu turned out two handy sticks as weapons inside, and easily threw away the bricks that were very inconvenient to hold.

Li Feiyu originally wanted to get some food and drink here, but Zhao Qingyu lost it when he saw it.

"Look at the current situation, can you eat anything here?"

“……”

Li Feiyu, who was disgusted everywhere, was very depressed, and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt something hit his foot lightly, he hurriedly looked down, only to see a rat's tail as thick as a thumb flicking by.

"it!"

He let out a low snort, his hair stood on end, and he immediately danced a laser dance on the spot, which scared Zhao Qingyu into a daze.

"You, what are you ......" Before Zhao Qingyu's words fell, the moment his eyelids drooped, he saw a black mouse the size of an adult domestic cat nesting in the corner behind Li Feiyu!

What's even more terrifying is that the rat's two little green eyes are shining in the shadows of the black mist!

For the rest of the words, Zhao Qingyu successfully suffocated back into her stomach, her mind was blank, and she raised her stick and swung it behind Li Feiyu.

Li Feiyu's reaction was quite agile, screaming and dodging to the side, turning around to look, he saw Zhao Qingyu and an oversized mouse entangled together!

Made! Girls are more fierce than him!

Li Feiyu didn't care about the nausea and fear, and immediately joined the battle.

Of course, this is also because the mouse was beaten by Zhao Qingyu and ran towards him......

The door of the commissary was not big, and it was guarded by Zhao Qingyu and Li Feiyu left and right, and the big rat was finally killed by the two of them.

After a fight, both of them were a little out of breath, but most of them were caused by being too excited and tense.

Although this rat is big, it is still at a disadvantage in size compared to humans, so in fact, it only took three or four minutes for the two of them to work together to get this mutant rat.

Zhao Qingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "We probably really hit the evil spirit." ”

His heart was beating violently, and Li Feiyu, who couldn't calm down for a long time, smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Otherwise, how else to explain all this we encountered." ”

yes, the strange fog that spreads all over the town, the phone calls that can't get out, the weird staircase that never gets down the first floor, and the ...... It's a rat the size of a cat.

"Let's go, there's definitely no one here, let's take a look elsewhere." Zhao Qingyu threw away the metal stick stained with rat blood, pulled two clean ones out of the broom again, and then beckoned Li Feiyu to go out.

The two decided to check it out.

Zhao Qingyu's house was not far from the school, and it only took three minutes to walk fast, and the two didn't see anyone except fog along the way.

When I arrived at the main road, the provincial road, which usually comes and goes, was unusually quiet at this time, and only the footsteps of two people echoed around.

When passing by the Xinglong noodle restaurant opposite the school, Zhao Qingyu couldn't help but turn her head and look over there, and with just one glance, she froze.

"What's wrong?" Li Feiyu next to him stopped.

Zhao Qingyu pointed towards the noodle restaurant and lowered his voice: "There seems to be someone there, go over and take a look." ”

Li Feiyu looked in the direction of her finger, because the distance was a little far, in fact, she couldn't see anyone at all, but now that the sky was dark, there was a dull and dense fog everywhere, but the direction of the noodle restaurant emitted a warm light, which was particularly conspicuous in such an environment.

The two of them separated slightly, clutched the wooden stick in their hands, and walked towards the bright place one after the other.

As I got closer to the noodle shop, the fog in front of me seemed to fade a lot, and the scene in front of me gradually became clear in the light.

The large coal stove at the door was still on fire, and the large soup pot made a "gurgling" sound, and bursts of white water vapor emanated from the edge of the lid, merging with the surrounding fog.

The tables and stools in the room were neatly arranged, and the tables were very clean, and on one of the tables were two bowls of steaming noodle soup, with bright red chili oil on them.

It's just that there is no one in the store.

Zhao Qingyu was just about to raise his feet and walk in, but he was grabbed by Li Feiyu and whispered vigilantly: "Don't go in, something is very wrong here." ”

Of course she knew something was wrong.

Standing outside at the foot of the steps, she could hear the sound of rushing water in the partition behind the shop.

"Just shout at the door." Li Feiyu suggested.

Zhao Qingyu squinted at him, good guy, this kid has learned ten out of ten what he just said, and he still learns and uses it now.

"Is there anyone in there?" Li Feiyu didn't wait for her to answer, he grabbed her arm tightly with one hand, as if he was afraid that she would rush in as soon as he let go, and asked in a trembling manner on the other hand.

"Yes, wait a minute."

There was a more trembling response from within.

Zhao Qingyu and Li Feiyu glanced at each other, and both of them were shocked in their eyes.

There are still people?!

Sure enough, after a while, two elderly people walked out of the partition room at the back with each other's arms, the fog in the store was very light, and Zhao Qingyu could see at a glance that the two old men were prospering the old couple of the noodle restaurant.

"Grandpa and Grandma, do you know what's going on in the town?" Zhao Qingyu couldn't help but take two steps forward and asked eagerly.

Ah Gong helped Grandma sit down and did not answer Zhao Qingyu's question.

Li Feiyu leaned into her ear and whispered, "Maybe the old man is old and can't hear clearly, I'll ask." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the store alone, stood beside the two old men, and asked very cordially and politely, "Daddy and mother-in-law, what's going on outside today?" Why is there such a big fog and no one else? ”

Only then did Daddy raise his head, look at him with cloudy eyes, and muttered, "Aren't you here to eat noodles?" ”

Li Feiyu: "......"

In desperation, Zhao Qingyu also followed up and asked again.

The old woman didn't speak the whole time, sitting at the table with chopsticks and eating noodles carefully, the old man answered Zhao Qingyu's question, he pointed outside and wondered: "What are you talking about, there are people everywhere on the road outside." ”

Zhao Qingyu and Li Feiyu looked at each other, turned their heads to look back, there was a white mist outside the door, and none of them saw it.

Could it be that this old man will not be able to see through the eyes?

Li Feiyu frowned and wanted to say something more, but was gently patted on the elbow by Zhao Qingyu.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a low voice.

Zhao Qingyu didn't speak, she was staring at her other hand, and when her husband turned sideways just now, the corner of her clothes accidentally touched her hand.

Because she didn't think about dodging, Zhao Qingyu just stood in place and didn't move, but the corner of the clothes went directly through the tips of her fingers!

There is no real touch!

Li Feiyu didn't notice anything, just looked at her with a puzzled expression, and then looked at the old man.

Zhao Qingyu wanted to open his mouth to speak, but when he opened his mouth slightly, the upper and lower teeth couldn't stop colliding together, making a slight creaking sound.

The corner of her eye swept forward, and she stiffened even more.

Because, she saw that behind the old man's right ear, there was a small moon-shaped birthmark.

If she remembers correctly, Xia Zimo also has an identical birthmark in the same position.

What the hell is going on?!

Zhao Qingyu took a deep breath and looked at the old man's face with courage, she didn't pay attention to it before, she only felt that the old couple was very kind and familiar, but now after looking carefully, she found that the old man's eyes, nose and facial features were carved out of the same mold as Xia Zimo.

If it was before, she would probably think that this person was Xia Zimo's elder, but now, she doesn't think so.

This old man is clearly Xia Zimo when he gets old! And...... Not yet alive.

Could it be that Xia Zimo is dead?

No, it can't be, when Xia Zimo was still going to school with her, this old man opened a shop here with his wife.

Wait.

Zhao Qingyu suddenly thought of something, and immediately took a few steps forward and came to the front of the old woman, who seemed to be completely unaware that someone was looking at her, and was still engrossed in eating noodles.

Li Feiyu took two steps with her in confusion, followed her line of sight and looked at the old woman, "What are you looking at?" ”

"What do you think...... She's ......."

Her voice was too low, and Li Feiyu heard it intermittently, but she also understood it, so she carefully looked at the looks of the two old men.

It's okay not to look at it, but his face has changed dramatically when I see it.

Needless to say, Zhao Qingyu also knew that he must have seen something.

Li Feiyu pulled Zhao Qingyu's sleeve and dragged her to the door, and after walking two or three meters away, he said with a strange face: "How can I look at those two old men...... Something is wrong. ”

Zhao Qingyu said in his heart that you just found out, and he still asked very face-savingly: "What's wrong?" ”

"That old man looks like Xia Zimo, that old woman...... Looks just like you. Li Feiyu looked behind as he spoke, for fear that the two people over there would hear it.

"Let's go."

Zhao Qingyu sighed, raised his feet and continued to walk out.

Li Feiyu was anxious: "Hey, we still haven't asked about business, so let's leave?" ”

Zhao Qingyu turned his head to look at him, thinking about whether to tell him about the major discovery just now.

Her gaze fell through Li Feiyu's side and fell on the brightly lit small noodle restaurant again, where the two old men sat intimately together, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them, and they were immersed in their own world.

I can't help but think of the scene where I ate with Xia Zimo in this store that day, there were obviously students everywhere outside, but there were only two people in the store dining, and the location was exactly where the two old men were sitting at this time.

For some reason, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Fake."

She said.

Li Feiyu didn't react: "What fake?" ”

"It's all fake, and those two old men are also fake." Zhao Qingyu muttered, "Are we too...... Fake. ”

It's just that they don't know it.

Li Feiyu took her hand: "I don't know if we're fake, and I don't know what you mean by that, I just know, now we have to hurry up and find a way to return to reality, even if it is...... We are all fake, and the truth will eventually disappear, and I ...... No regrets. ”

Now he also clearly realizes that the two of them are indeed trapped in a strange world.

What does it matter if he is true or not, his current feelings are true, his feelings are true, and he believes that he is true.

Zhao Qingyu raised her head, very close, even in such a fog, she could clearly see his side face, the perfect arc starting from his chin, so familiar.

It seems that she has stood by his side like this many times.

"Well, let's go."

Zhao Qingyu clenched the stick in his hand and held his arm, feeling a lot more steady.

Li Feiyu curled the corners of his mouth to follow, but he only took two steps, and suddenly his father's trembling voice came from behind him: "Young man, pay attention to safety." ”

Zhao Qingyu's heart moved, and when he turned his head to look, the fog in front of the Xinglong Noodle Restaurant became thicker and thicker, and he could only vaguely see a figure shaking in the white fog.

"Thank you, Daddy, take care too!" Li Feiyu still had the heart to turn around and respond.

It wasn't until he crossed the road that Zhao Qingyu told him what he had found.

Li Feiyu almost didn't have a weak leg, and exclaimed: "You, what are you talking about, he, they are ...... It's ......"

"Don't think too much about it, wouldn't you feel a little better if you interpreted them as phantoms of the world?" Zhao Qingyu said soothingly.

Li Feiyu is about to cry, this kind of thing, where is it to be relieved if you explain it casually!

He suddenly remembered that the old man seemed to have said something, what was it......

- Isn't there a lot of people out there?

Yes? People everywhere?!

Li Feiyu froze, only his eyes barely looked around, could it be that there were "people" everywhere around them, but the two of them couldn't see it? ?

This is also too thrilling and exciting!

Zhao Qingyu seemed to guess what he was thinking, and patted him on the arm and comforted: "It's okay, out of sight is clean, out of sight is just right, let's go." ”

Hey, why can she be so calm in the face of this situation, he is so ashamed!

So, Li Feiyu took Zhao Qingyu's hand and held it tighter.

……

The two of them stood at the gate of the empty high school, the old iron gate was wide open, the sky was already very dark, standing in their position, looking forward, they could only see a confused dark fog.

Since hearing Zhao Qingyu's words, Li Feiyu realized that the usually lively school was more eerie than anywhere else at this time.

"We, are we really going in?"
