Chapter 23: Where Is My Shadow?

"Heh, you two seem to be in good spirits." Inferno took a sip of his tea and looked at the few snacks left on the coffee table.

It's not that we're too weak, it's that the dessert is too delicious!

Every week or two, Anne would go to a five-star dessert shop on the seaside pedestrian street in Summer City to spend a handful of money, but even the desserts there were not as delicious as Ferno's house. The milky aroma is thick, the jam is delicate, the sweetness is just right, soft and glutinous and melts in the mouth.

"You, you......" Iannie wanted to question Inferno about what happened today, but she didn't expect to be defeated by the real sugar-coated cannonball first.

It was still Wang Yuxin who was righteous and said, "Aren't you an exorcist?" Today, the affairs of Noah's family were finally resolved like this, and you are still embarrassed to collect money? ”

Inferno twisted a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, his slender white fingers touching his own thin lips, and there was a feeling of charm: "When did I say that I was an exorcist, I am just a paranormal specialist, usually doing the work of a broker, and occasionally only do it when the matter is completely unsolvable." ”

"Uh......" Wang Yuxin was angry, she just thought that the word "exorcist" was easier to say than "secret commissioner", and it was better pronounced than Inferno's name, so she kept calling him an exorcist.

Inferno 1:0 Wang Yuxin!

Anne swallowed the last bite of the snack in her hand and said, "If I find that there are suddenly two more 'people' in the back seat of the car on the highway, what will happen at that time?" You didn't say anything, you let the ghost get into my car without permission, what if there is an accident and the car is destroyed and killed? ”

"But aren't you all okay?"

Anne was speechless.

Inferno 1:0 Anne!

Iannie didn't expect Inferno to say such things after they had been hanging them for a long time, so she gently removed herself from the two supernatural events.

"So what are we doing here now?" Anne said indignantly.

"It's okay, you can go"

“……”

Inferno 1:0 Yi Annie & Wang Yuxin!

Inferno won all three games, bell!

In the face of such an Inferno, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin didn't know what to say, and they didn't know what to say, in short, everything related to Inferno was full of weirdness.

Yi Annie felt that something must have gone wrong with her brain, otherwise how could she have come with the car at that time.

In the end, I had to drive away, and when I came out of Inferno's house, Yi Annie didn't go back to the highway, so she drove along the provincial road without fast or slow. There are some scattered houses on both sides of the provincial road, and the lights of a few households are still on, which gives Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin some courage with popularity.

On the way home, Yi Annie looked nervously in the rearview mirror countless times, and she didn't see Wang Yuxin's so-called figure anymore, it seems that the two ghosts did get out of the car when they got to where they were going.

Yi Annie has actually watched a lot of ghost stories and ghost movies in the car, but it is so peaceful and quiet, it is really just the first time I have seen it by car, and I just hope that this incident will not make her car have sequelae such as "carrying yin qi".

"I'm going to go to the press center early tomorrow to write my resignation!" Yi Annie hated and quit this job, and it was a hundred years old.

"Are you really planning to resign?" Wang Yuxin seemed a little worried, "It's not easy to find such a good job, and it is also related to a series of issues such as your subsequent application for permanent residence." ”

Yi Annie nodded: "But this job is definitely not in line with me, I always feel that since I took this job on Monday, I have always encountered this kind of thing recently, and it feels terrible, huh." ”

With that, Anne shook her shoulders in fear as she thought of the creepy stare she felt in the basement on Monday night.

Thinking of today's two ghost experiences, Wang Yuxin also agreed: "I originally thought that being an editor was just sitting in the office every day and writing articles, but after the past two days, I found that your work is too dangerous than I imagined." ”

What Wang Yuxin didn't say was: It seems that it is not you looking for a mysterious event, but a mysterious event is coming at you.

When the two got home, Lulu and Tsukihan were both squatting in the doorway, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling glass next to the door.

The headlights hit the cat's eye, flashing a faint green light, but when the two of them entered the house and turned on the lights, they couldn't see it.

Picking up the cat owners who were guarding at the door and waiting for the shovel officer to shovel the feces a few handfuls, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin said good night to each other and went to sleep, both of them felt a little exhausted, and fell asleep when they got to the pillow.

The sleep was surprisingly sound, and Anne didn't even hear the morning alarm on her phone.

Yi Annie squinted, the sun hit her face, very warm, and the sound of the tide in her ears was like a lullaby, dragging Yi Annie back to sleep.

"Hey, what time is it? The sun is shining on my head, so I can't oversleep today, right? Anne remembered last night that she had vowed to get up early to resign.

The sound of the tide is probably the sound of Wang Yuxin's game video when she uses WiiFit in the living room, Yi Annie remembers that Wang Yuxin said yesterday that she didn't have classes that morning, isn't it actually lazy sleep but getting up early to exercise, which is very unscientific.

Yi Annie struggled to touch the phone that she had placed next to her pillow before going to bed, but she touched a hand of water.

it! What a situation! Lulu peed on my pillow?

Anne immediately came to her senses, but was surprised to find that she was not in her own bed.

Now, where she was, was an open cavern, or a half-open crack in a cliff by the sea, and the sun was shining through the cave. Three thin reefs rise from the sea and stand in front of the cave, the reef is thick and thin, and it is estimated that the bottom will collapse if it is eroded by the tide in a few years.

What's going on? Where am I? Crossed over? Soul wear or body wear? 100,000 whys slipped through Anne's head.

Anne looked around, and she was lying on a raised flat ground in the cavern, with a few shallow puddles on the flat ground, where she had just touched the water. I think that at night, either the tide will not pass here, or the waves will come in.

The depths of the cave gradually increase in height, but even during the day the black cave is intimidating, and the cold wind blows out from the depths of the cave and then disappears in the warm sea breeze.

Yi Annie carefully stepped on a few rocks under the flat ground out of the cave, now the tide is not high, there is a small rocky beach near the entrance of the cave, two people are turning over stones on the rock beach, looking probably looking for crab shells or something, because the direction is backlight, Yi Annie can't see the appearance of the two people clearly.

"Hey! Hello! What kind of place is this? Anne shouted at the two.

The two men did not answer, and went on doing their own thing.

Anne guessed that the two men might be too close to the water, so the sound of the waves drowned out Anne's question.

She walked over to the two men, and when she got closer, she found that they were two men in ragged clothes, wearing cotton clothes that were ubiquitous in North America, but they were somewhat tattered and dirty.

One of them is in the prime of life, and the other is a little old man. Looking at the movements of the two of them, they were indeed looking for a shell, and they had a cap not far away, and when they found one, they threw it into it.

When Anne looked at it, there were clams, oysters, small crabs and the like.

Anne was a girl who was still a little frightened when she suddenly saw two men who seemed to be vagabonds on the remote seashore, but she finally mustered up the courage and said behind them: "Hello! Where is this place? ”

The two in front remained unmoved, and continued to sit on the matter in their hands.

"Hey!" Anne reached out and patted the person closest to her, but her hand went straight through the person.

"Huh?" Yi Annie looked at her hand and felt her three views shattered.

"What's going on with me?" Yi Anne finally felt that something was wrong, and looked down to see that the shadows of the two people in front of her stretched to her feet in the sunlight, and there was no shadow under her feet.

"Shadow, where's my shadow?" Anne muttered, but remembered a lyric.

- Male: I...... Shadow...... What about the shadows...... What about my shadow?

- Woman: It's about following your corpse, right?

- Male: Shi ...... What the?

- Now, isn't that the one floating in the lake your corpse?

"I ...... I'm not going to die, am I? Anne couldn't help but look into the water ahead, wondering if she was expecting to see her body.

The waves crashed against the shore in front of him, but most of them crashed against the three high rocks in front of the cave.

Confused and at a loss, Anne turned around and walked towards the cave, only to see two people coming from the other side of the rocky beach, an old lady holding a child.

Huh! This child Anne is very familiar, it is the little boy Tom who disappeared in Naya Town before.

Even if Anne couldn't remember what a child looked like, the leather jacket that resembled the bikers liked to wear it was still very distinctive.

Seeing this child, Iannie thought to herself, if this child here is the missing child in the town, then the other three ...... Isn't that Noah's father and grandparents?

This speculation is reasonable, so why are they here?

And, why did I die here?

"Did you see anything over there?" The old man asked the old woman who was coming this way.

The old woman shook her head: "No, even if the tide recedes so much, I can't find a way to go up." ”

The middle-aged man pondered, "It seems that we can only see if we can go up inside the cave, and we must raise the fire before the tide rises today." ”

Listening to this conversation, Yi Annie looked up at the sky in despair, the upper part of the rock wall was tilted outward, and it was almost impossible for the people above to see that there was a cave here, and in the same way, it was almost impossible for the people in the cave to climb to the top of the rock wall.

So, are these four people, and my ghost trapped here?

Anne suddenly remembered what Inferno had said that Noah's mother was asking for help.

So, like those four people, I was also brought here by Noah's mother?

So, is Noah's mother here?

Looking at the deep cavern, Iannie was going to go and see - I'm a ghost anyway, what else is there to be afraid of?
