Chapter Ninety-Six: The Back Mountain

The road in the dark, the end of the road hides all the secret answers, in what form do these answers exist?

Now I am in a state of ignorance, and my sense of self is almost completely lost. But my subconscious is still there, this road in the dark, it is simply too important, my subconscious tells myself that at this time, my eyes can't even blink, and I want to imprint all the details in my brain.

In the fragmented scene of consciousness information, this road in the dark is extending, but the road will not change, but someone is walking forward on this road. There is no doubt that the person who walks on this road must be the master of the ear.

The road was long, and all but the light used for illumination was shrouded in darkness. This memory left an extremely deep impression on the owner of the ear.

The owner of the ear, like me, has been to Danmeng, to the old road of the Huyang River, and to other places, and finally he has found this road in the dark. Since he has embarked on this path, it means that he also wants to uncover the secrets of all this.

Perhaps it is because this road in the dark left such a deep impression on the owner of the ear that it is so profound that it seems that this memory is inseparable, so the scene about this road is relatively complete.

What I saw blurred for a moment at this point, flashing messily past two places I had never been, but then the path of darkness reappeared.

At this time, this dark road seemed to be coming to an end, because not far ahead, there was a hazy faint light.

The answer lies behind that faint light!

My subconscious developed an indescribable impatience, and my whole body seemed to be vaporized, drifting through the room with the smoke. I couldn't wait to see what was behind that faint light.

However, when the scene in front of me is about to extend to the end of the dark road, the picture seems to be completely shattered, and the road, as well as the faint light at the end of the road, suddenly disappears.

Fragments of consciousness messages are still flashing, but there is no more scene of the dark path.

This feeling of being about to be revealed, but suddenly interrupted, made my subconscious almost go crazy.

However, there seems to be no more fragments of the Dark Road in the consciousness information, although the other fragments are still relatively clear and relatively long, but the information that has nothing to do with the Dark Road seems to be irrelevant now.

Since this piece of information has left an indelible impression on the owner of the ear, how could it have disappeared without an unwarranted interruption? It shouldn't be possible for him to be like Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten, who had a part of his memory wiped out. The only explanation is that the owner of the ear encountered an accident when he came to the end of the dark path, or for special reasons, did not continue.

It's hard to understand, I don't know about other places, anyway, these two places, Danmeng and the old road of the Huyang River, can make people suffer enough. If the owner of the ear had traveled so many places and searched for so many side clues, like me, and finally learned where the dark road was, and had come to the end of the road, and was about to uncover all the mysteries, would he suddenly leave?

The feeling of being about to witness the answer only to be interrupted can be unspeakably uncomfortable. My subconscious mind has affected my current state, and the fragments of consciousness information that were originally relatively clear are gradually beginning to blur as if they were looking at flowers.

Just as I was in a double chaos, a place that was familiar to me suddenly flashed out of the fragments of consciousness that flowed like water.

The fragments reveal only a corner of a place, but this place, even if it is divided into dozens of parts, I can recognize it.

It was the village where my hometown was located in the countryside.

That's right, it's our village.

The village is clearly visible in the fragments of consciousness, and lasts longer than the others. This means that this experience also left a deep impression on the owner of the ear.

The owner of the ear has been to the village under our hometown, and more importantly, the village has left a deeper impression on him than the old road of Danmeng and the Huyang River.

Just because of the deep impression of the village, the scene about the village in the consciousness information maintains a very rare coherence. I saw the village, and the several roads around the village that led to various places, and the road leading to the back mountain was particularly clear.

Not too far behind the village, there is the rolling Taihang Mountains, and the people in our village call the large rolling mountains behind the village collectively called the back mountains.

The back mountain is very barren, and it is said that there were two very small natural villages in the past, but they were also moved away. When I was young, people said that there were wolves in the back mountain, and the people in the village were also injured by wolves, so they were very taboo about the back mountain, and the children of every household were strictly forbidden to go to the back mountain to play, and the adults in the village occasionally wanted to fight rabbits or badgers, but they only took the earth gun to the direction of the back mountain and walked a little, and never went too deep.

Originally, it was to guard against wolves, so the people in the village were afraid of the back mountain, because no one entered the back mountain all year round, and then I don't know how to produce a lot of legends about the back mountain, saying that there are strange things in it. These rumors spread more and more, not only in our village, but also in several nearby villages and people did not enter the back mountain.

When I was about seven or eight years old, I went back to the village to play, and I heard from the people in the village that there were a few young people in the neighboring village who did not believe in evil and wanted to go to the back mountain to dig a kiln and burn gangue. Maybe there are four people, and they really opened a gangue kiln in the back mountain. But after working for more than half a year, the four people seemed to be gone, and they never came out again, and the village chief of the neighboring village organized dozens of people to go into the back mountain to look for them, but they did not find them. Since then, the back mountain has completely become a forbidden place, and the road into the back mountain has been blocked by the villagers with stones, and no one will enter it.

However, fragments of consciousness flashed out of the road leading to the back mountain one after another, and there were really stones blocking the road. There were a lot of stones, piled up more than a meter high, and the road was completely blocked.

The next picture is full of mountains, although these pictures are silent, but you don't have to think much to know that what the picture shows must be the back mountain.

The owner of the ear, into the back mountain.

The picture of the back mountain has not stopped, and finally, in the picture, you can vaguely see an old pine tree standing proudly on the top of the hill in the distance.

After the appearance of this old pine tree, the picture of the back mountain disappeared. Probably the owner of the ear walked to this place and didn't go any further. Perhaps, there are some clips that I haven't been able to see, after all, a person's consciousness information is very huge, and it is absolutely impossible to watch it in just a few hours.

Next, there are chaotic images flickering, but the places shown in these pictures are not as clear as the dark road and the back mountain. After a long time of confusion, the self-consciousness in my mind began to return, and the smoke in the room may have almost dissipated.

By the time I recovered from my slumber, it was past seven o'clock in the morning, and although the smoke in the room had dissipated, my brain cells were unusually active.

I can feel that the owner of the ear must have gotten a clue like me, and he will go to a place according to this clue, and if he can continue to receive other clues there, he will continue to follow the clue.

That is, every place he went was well-founded. It was through such non-stop walking and searching that I was able to collect relatively complete information and find the location of the dark road.

If my feeling is correct, then none of these places can be missed, and if one is missed, the chain of clues will be disjointed, which will lead to the overall error and bias of the information.

The owner of the ear went to the back hill behind the village, and he must have gotten a clue from somewhere. Moreover, he must have found something in the mountains behind the village so that he could continue his search.

I closed my eyes and began to think that if the back mountain was a place that I couldn't miss, I would definitely want to visit it too.
