Chaos Era: Zhou Zimo's "Dream" (1)
In the purple sky, there is a black sun wheel, like a black hole, as if it is about to swallow everything in front of it.
Exuding an unusual attraction, a crimson one was pulled out of the ground and laid flat beneath the sky.
It had no form, but I knew it was there, standing on the crimson surface of the earth, with an indescribable color in its eyes. I know that this fight is not a matter of life or death in the first place, because in front of it, it makes no sense.
I am sure that my sanity is still alive to help me make the best judgment and to prove that what I see is not illogical chaos.
I saw it, and I couldn't describe its movement, because it had no form from the beginning, let alone describe its movement. I still stood still, but reason instinctively terrified me of a creature far beyond my comprehension.
I tried to calm down, and I lost the power of the Mirror, but even if I had that power, I couldn't compete with it, or rather, there was no need to do it.
I was to me what an ant was to me, and the only difference was that I, as a sane being, happened to understand it. Unfortunately, I also know that even understanding the gap doesn't make sense. After thinking about it a few times, I still didn't calm down.
It continued to approach me, it knew I existed, but it didn't care, it just came like this, and I couldn't and couldn't understand what it was going to do, I stood still, trying to calm myself again so that I could accept the facts before me.
But after several attempts, I still failed, deeply rooted in instinct, the fear of the unknown and beyond the existence of understanding forever, I clearly felt the cold sweat oozing from my body, and made the final decision.
I gave up thinking.
……
Pure darkness hung over the streets, and this was not a noisy city that never sleeps, and when most people fell asleep, the streets became as silent as death—not even a single complete row of street lamps could be seen, but they were just randomly placed, randomly placed on both sides of the road, flickering strangely.
The lights in the car were unsurprisingly dim, because at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I hurried out of the car holding my head, which was clenched and aching from exertion, and the oldest and strongest fear was the unknown.
This was not the first time I had encountered such a situation, so I skillfully took out my prepared flashlight and flicked the red switch, but it only dispelled a small part of the darkness in the alley, and still could not dissipate its cold horror, but I still mustered up the courage to go deeper.
Even with the flashlight on, he could only vaguely see the scene near the narrow alley, so the fear still seeped out at an alarming rate.
But this is not only because of the unique eerie atmosphere and limited view of the alley at night, but also because of the rumors circulating in the vicinity, whose source is long unknown: when the area was first built, it was due to planning deviations, which is very common in such remote small places - there is an extra alley, and at first, the construction company decided to make it a shortcut by adding low-cost renovation to the alley, and a few decent street lights, but strange phenomena followed.
The first is that any stone bricks laid on the ground will sink down the next day, and within a few days they will be completely embedded in the mud, which may be due to its special geology, but the second phenomenon is completely worthy of the word "creepy", that is, any light source placed in this alley, whether street lamps or portable lamps, no matter how large their luminous flux, can only illuminate an area of about three centimeters, and the explanation issued later only vaguely mentions special gases.
But the most chilling thing about this one is that both of these phenomena are facts, and I'm verifying them right now.
I didn't call Xiao Jin and them this time, let alone Fei'er, for some reason, I always feel that someone is calling me, asking me to come here, I want to see what is so special about this.
Even with my limited vision, I could clearly see if there were any annoying rocks or obstructions in my vicinity that were getting in my way, and the alley was never always open as they would sink into the dirt and disappear - which gave me a sense of security. I kept going, and although it was a shortcut, it didn't mean it would be short, on the contrary, the alley was surprisingly long, but it was short enough for the tedious road.
I walked with mixed feelings in my heart, not only because of the strange feeling that gradually seeped out of my heart inexplicably, but also because of the strange familiarity generated by the guidance in the dark.
I've been here before, and as a rule of thumb, I'll walk straight down the alley, walk back to the main road, and then run home as fast as I can to get some sleep. There will be, and should be, anything else wrong, unless I'm suddenly caught up in some strange event.
I walked with a cranky mind that was bored, but as soon as I finished thinking about it, all of a sudden, this cranky mind was hit hard for no reason.
"Hiss......" The sudden resistance caused me to bounce away immediately, and I fell backwards to the ground, but I didn't feel much pain because of the soft mud, "What......" I tried to wipe the dirt on my clothes in disgust, but found that the more I wiped it, the more messy it became, and the place where I was hit hurt like fire, I slowly stood up with the stains all over my body, and walked a few steps forward cautiously, waving the flashlight forward, but found that there was nothing there. I looked ahead in confusion, carefully lining the road ahead with my flashlight, but there was nothing.
I tried to reach out, but I did touch something in the way.
"It's ...... Glass? ...... Mirror? ...... "I touched the surface - it was clear that the light was shining through the inexplicable thing, which made it look like a glass pane, but on closer inspection, the scene behind it shifted slightly at an angle, making it look like a mirror again.
Odd...... Why would anyone be stupid enough to put clutter here...... Is it a new occupant? "I was so bewildered by this that I examined this wonderful surface that I found that it had blocked everything in my path.
"This shape...... Could it be? ...... "This almost absolutely smooth plane reminds me of the meditation room-like building I saw at Hongyue Pagoda today, which is a tower almost one story high.
On the outside, it looks bland, even a little boring, but on the inside it is so stunning that it doesn't feel like it belongs to this world - inside it has mirrors the size of an entire wall, and even one, but six of them.
In addition, it is covered by a two-way mirror that limits the amount of light, and it is said that the light is turned on at night, so that the brightness inside is constant at all times.
It was made by the guys in the lab, and they said they could get a glimpse of something, but unfortunately, the place hadn't started experimenting yet, otherwise I would have chosen to go there and see it.
"That's not right...... That thing is much bigger than that......"
But I knew that now was not the time to think about it, and the sleepiness was pulling me back to reality.
"Shhh...... It's strange, who put it there! In the sentence ......", only a small half is doubt, more resentment towards something that inexplicably blocks the way, and even more resentment towards the person who "placed this thing".
"Damn! In that case, we have to go back again! ...... "I was getting angry and angry, and at last I had to get angry, turn my head, and prepare to go back to the tedious road, I carefully calculated the sleep time tonight, and I couldn't help but hang my head. I looked up, ready to take the first step back.
"Don't go backwards! Run Forward!! ”
