40. The Shadow of the Enigma-5
But soon he turned to look at me, and I noticed that there was something strange about him, and then I was suddenly clever, and since he had chased the dark shadow out, it seemed that something had begun to be wrong when he returned.
I pretended to be calm and asked, "What did you just see?" ”
He said, "It's nothing, it should be dazzling." ”
I took a look at the dark and dreary woods, which during the day seemed to be a bottomless abyss, and I heard him answer without saying a word, and when he had gone in a little, I said, "I want to go into the woods and see again." ”
Wang Zhexuan looked back at me and asked me, "What are you going to do in the woods?" ”
I didn't say anything, I walked into the forest, Wang Zhexuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he still followed without saying a word, none of us spoke along the way, it seemed to be a silent confrontation, until I entered the forest some, he asked me: "What are you looking for?" ”
I said, "Alone." ”
He asked rhetorically, "Who?" ”
I stopped, looked at him and said, "Disappearing man." ”
He didn't seem to understand what I meant at first, but he seemed to understand again, and I didn't continue to say anything, and I went into the woods a little more, and there was nothing in the woods at this time, not even a shadow, let alone a person, but I was sure that the person I was looking for was inside.
After walking for a while, Wang Zhexuan suddenly said, "I can't go any further." ”
I asked, "Why?" ”
Wang Zhexuan said: "I feel that something is wrong ahead, as if it is different from the place we are in now. ”
I listened to Wang Zhexuan's words and looked at the front, there was still a quiet darkness in front, and I couldn't see anything, I glanced at Wang Zhexuan suspiciously, and I asked him: "Have you been to the front before?" ”
Wang Zhexuan nodded, I looked at him, only to feel that the feeling of doubt deepened, and I continued to ask, "Then what did you see over there?" ”
Wang Zhexuan didn't answer me, his silence made me feel bad, so I said, "I'm going to go over and have a look." ”
As I spoke, I continued to walk forward, and after I had taken a few steps, I really felt something different, for I suddenly felt as if a wind was blowing across my face, which was completely different from the still darkness before, and I was surprised when I saw a little light in front of me, like a lamp.
I looked back at Wang Zhexuan, and then at the light in front of me, and I asked him, "What is that?" ”
Wang Zhexuan said: "I don't know. ”
His expression was a little weird, his look made me feel even more that something was wrong in front of me, there must be some secret hidden in this, and he had obviously come into contact with this secret, but he didn't want to say anything, why is this?
I then stopped caring about Wang Zhexuan, and walked towards the light, Wang Zhexuan followed me silently, I felt that he was getting more and more strange, and the Wang Zhexuan I knew was very different, until I was getting closer and closer to the light, I saw that this was a wooden house, the light was a kerosene lamp hanging outside the door of the wooden house, since there was a light here, then it meant that there were people, I walked to the wooden house, but at this time I didn't know where I had come, as if I had walked a long way, I didn't know how far away it was.
I tried to push open the door of the hut, but there was no movement inside, and as the door was pushed open, a musty smell mixed with some indescribable smell came rushing towards me, and this feeling made me realize that it had been uninhabited for a long time.
But why is there a kerosene lamp, if the wooden house is no longer inhabited, then the light of the kerosene lamp is obviously used to attract attention, and without this kerosene lamp, then I would not have known that there was such a wooden house in the first place.
I took off the kerosene lamp and entered the wooden house by the light of the kerosene lamp, and when I saw the scene inside the wooden house, I could not help but be startled, because I saw two corpses, but two corpses that had almost turned into white bones, but one of them was very small, and it looked like a child, looking at the body and bones, but only six or seven years old.
The corpse next to it was an adult, and if I was not mistaken, it was a man's. But why are there two of these corpses here?
I looked around again, and I saw that the hut was extremely rudimentary, and there was not even the slightest trace of a long life, and I could almost tell that these two men did not live here, but only stayed here for a short time, and why they stayed here, I don't know.
I tried to find any other clues, such as who these two men were, or why they were here, but I found them in vain, because there was nothing of value in the cabin, not even anything that would prove their identity.
And judging by the degree of decomposition of the corpses, it has obviously been more than ten years, or even twenty years, to this extent!
But when the time of twenty years came to mind, I was very repulsed, as if this was a time that I was extremely unwilling to accept, and under the domination of this strange feeling, another thought also came to my mind, how can an adult man with a boy be so similar to He Baihua with me!
Once an idea sprouts in your mind, it starts to take root. This speculation is also like this, when I brought these two corpses into He Baihua and me, I began to think about the possibility of this outcome, but this doesn't make sense, if I was already dead at that time, then who am I now?
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath, probably because my deep breath attracted Wang Zhexuan's attention, and he asked me, "What are you thinking?" ”
From my subtle movements, Wang Zhexuan was already keenly aware of my thoughts, I turned my head to look at him, and I said, "If this boy is me, then it may also be you, because in a sense, you are also me,"
Wang Zhexuan's face did not change at all, and he said: "If this corpse is me, then who am I?" ”
Exactly the same question, it seems that Wang Zhexuan can answer like this, that is, he has the same idea as me, and even he had such thoughts a long time ago, before we came here.
And just as I thought about this, I said, "You've been here before, you've seen these two corpses, isn't that why you look and behave strangely when you come back?" ”
