Old streets, old buildings, and old sewers constantly smell of old and rotting garbage. It's like an old area cut from memories more than 50 years ago, and even the air reveals a sense of age.

What surprised Bai Xiong even more was that this street was near his factory, but he had never visited it.

Five minutes later, he walked into a residential building.

Every inch of space seemed to swallow up the light, leading the entire staircase into the dark unknown, all while creaking wooden planks with a terrible creaking sound.

Over here...... It's like a place where the addicts in the movies gather.

Third floor, in front of a room.

There's no house number, no cat's eye, it's just a piece of wood, but with a keyhole at the edge.

This is the place that the homeless man was talking about.

A few hours earlier, White Bear had dialed that number. The person who answered the phone was the homeless man, who didn't say anything superfluous, just told himself the address...... And one more sentence......

"If you're starting to get suspicious, come on."

At that time, Bai Xiong felt that his head must be funny, otherwise how could he do such a thing.

Thereupon...... And he came.

"I'm starting to get suspicious?? What am I suspecting? ”

The white bear asked himself, his hand hanging in the air, he hesitated for a long time, and finally, he knocked it down.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Crunch ————"

The door opened, and the ugly face poked out of the crack in the door, looked around, and then made a way.

"Uh...... I didn't mean to come, yes, I'm just curious, what the hell are you ......" White Bear said incoherently, as if justifying his foolish behavior.

"Come in!" The other party didn't care what he said, and dragged him into the house.

......

It's a very simple two-bedroom apartment, both in style and in terms of the age of the furniture, which matches this building very well, and even tastes similar, if not a little more disgusting.

"Do you have a home?" This is the first question of the white bear, after all, no matter how you look at it, this homeless man doesn't want to be a person who has a house.

The other party didn't seem to want to answer this question, but asked abruptly, "You're starting to doubt too?" ”

"Suspect what?" The white bear's face was full of puzzlement.

"I don't know, anyway, you must feel that something is wrong, this house, this building, this whole world, you, me, air, whatever."

He scribbled.

But the white bear couldn't even believe that he understood.

Yes, he felt a subtle strangeness in everything around him.

So, he swallowed his saliva and said a little nervously, "I...... Very thirsty. ”

The homeless man was stunned for a moment, he quickly swept the whole body of the white bear, and asked directly, "How long has it been?" ”

"6 Days ......"

"Where's the food?"

"I didn't eat anything, I didn't drink, it was painful, but it wasn't what I thought it was...... You should know. The white bear said blankly.

"Of course I know, I've always been."

"Yes, hungry, but alive and ...... Not even skinny. ”

"Look, I know you're always going to notice." The homeless man said as a matter of course.

"Okay, what the hell did you call me for?"

The homeless man thought for a moment: "I found something more wrong, just behind this door. As he spoke, he gestured to a bedroom door behind him: "But, no matter what you see, don't panic!" ”

White Bear frowned, he instinctively felt that this door would definitely not be a good thing, but now that the matter had come to this, he had no reason to retreat.

"What's inside?" He asked.

"Didn't you ask if this house was mine? Of course not. The homeless man said, slowly pushing open the bedroom door: "It's their ......"

An annoying humming sound, followed by a pungent stench.

On the bed in the bedroom, two decomposing corpses, unclothed, naked and showing their rotten bodies. Countless flies were startled by the sound of the door and flew around them, wanting to leave, but they were reluctant to give up this rare breeding ground for spawning.

The white bear was stunned for a moment.

......

"Grass!" He scolded, subconsciously took a step back, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.

"Gangsters...... Bastard! He stammered, even his voice was trembling, and he took out his mobile phone in a panic, wanting to call the police.

But...... All of this seems to be half a beat slower.

It's like that car accident the other day.

The homeless man stared closely at the white bear's reaction, and then nodded "sure enough", and at the same time, he also stepped forward and snatched the other party's mobile phone.

"Calm down!!" The homeless man yelled.

How could the white bear calm down, he quickly retreated to the corner, grabbed the hanger next to him, and stared at the other party in horror.

"Don't come here!!" He yelled.

The homeless man remained motionless, apparently not wanting to irritate the white bear. "Don't be impulsive, think about your reflection!" He also shouted: "You are actually not afraid, those emotions are added later, it is not you at all!" ”

The white bear was still panting, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, but he also seemed to realize that something was wrong with him.

In this way, neither of them spoke, and a few seconds passed quietly.

"This ...... What's going on? The white bear seemed to finally quiet down, and slowly stood up, of course, still did not put down the hanger.

The homeless man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his reflection. "I don't know what's going on, but I think the world is ...... It's fake! ”

“...... What the? The white bears looked at each other like fools.

"It's hard to explain, but I don't think I was supposed to be like this. My memories, my identity, my habits, don't really belong to me. My brain deceived me! The world is also lying to me. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone, opened a photo, and turned to take out a magazine from the table in his bedroom.

"Look, here's a picture I took a few blocks away the other day." He pointed to a house on the screen and said, "This house was right in front of me at the time, it was real." ”

"So what?"

"So?" The homeless man responded, and threw the magazine to White Bear.

The white bear lowered his head and looked at the picture on the cover, which was a very beautiful seascape photo, a woman dressed very coolly, standing on the side of the street, which led straight to the sea.

Then, his eyes widened suddenly, and his face was terrified.

Because he saw that there was a house next to the street where the picture was only half illuminated.

and the homeless in the phone

Same.
