"When! While! While! ”

As the knock on the door grew clearer in my ears, it meant that I had been completely woken up.

I slowly opened my eyelids and found that the room was dark, only the bathroom lights were on, but I remember that I had turned off all the lights before going to bed. I turned my head to look to the side, and the bed on the other side was empty, the sheets were a little messy, and the double was almost entirely pressed against me alone. Just when I subconsciously thought that Zhang Lun had gone to the toilet, his voice actually came from outside the house.

"Chen Rong, hurry up! Something happened out there! ”

I hurriedly jumped out of bed, and without even putting on my slippers, I ran to the door and opened the door of my room. I saw Zhang Lun's panicked face, and he said to me anxiously, "Hotel...... The people at the hotel are gone! ”

I couldn't tell what I was talking about, and I was suddenly woken up in a daze, and I didn't know what he was talking about.

Seeing my puzzled expression, Zhang Lun hurriedly explained: "I was addicted to alcohol just now, and I wanted to buy a bottle of beer on the first floor, but there was no one at the front desk, and I shouted for a long time and no one answered." Then I went to the lounge to find someone, but there was still no one, originally I thought it was a waiter who had gone out temporarily, so I wanted to go to a nearby convenience store to buy alcohol. As a result, I went to the convenience store, although the convenience store was open as usual, but there was still no one, not only that, but there was no one on the surrounding streets, I ran back to the hotel and knocked on the door of a few rooms, but there was still no one! ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "It's so late, it's normal that there is no one on the street, as for the hotel, maybe no one is staying there, or people are sleeping soundly and don't hear you knock on the door?" ”

"Late fart! You look at the watch, it's only eight o'clock, you are sleepy because the jet lag has not been reversed, do you think it is the middle of the night? ”

Listening to Zhang Lun, I realized that it was still so early, and this time things were really strange. I quickly got dressed and followed Zhang Lun downstairs to investigate, and sure enough, as he said, there was still no one at the front desk. This is so abnormal, how can there be a hotel front desk that will be empty for a long time? And it's past eight o'clock in the evening, isn't it the time when there are many tenants?

The computer at the front desk is still on, I looked at the check-in record in the computer, and used the landline at the front desk to call some rooms that have been checked-in, but none of them got through. Does this mean that there is no one in the room either?

Then, Zhang Lun and I went back to the street, walking past one shop after another, whether it was a restaurant, a supermarket, or a movie theater, and we didn't even see half a figure.

Could it be that Luxor is an empty city?

Although there were 10,000 doubts in my mind, what I could be sure of was that it was definitely not a ghost hitting the wall, and I didn't feel any ghost breath in the vicinity.

Zhang Lun and I looked at each other, and I saw beads of sweat and a frightened look on his forehead, and I believe that neither of us had ever encountered anything more evil than this. To lighten the mood, I jokingly said, "They told you not to take off your shoes, and the whole city let you run away." ”

"No kidding at this time." Zhang Lun was very anxious, "I'll make a few phone calls to try." ”

I think

He pressed the number again and again, and the busy tone kept coming from the phone, until finally he said in disappointment: "None of them can be reached, my friends, the police station, and other emergency calls, no one answers." ”

"What about other places?" Saying that, I called Shi Niang one after another, as well as the fat boys in China, but I couldn't get through either.

"I'll call you." Zhang Lun said, "Let's see if the phone is blocked or no one answers." ”

But this time, the call was connected.

Zhang Lun was stunned for a while while with the phone, and then said with a pale face: "It won't be ...... It's just the two of us, right? ”

"What do you think about filming "I Am Legend"?" I really admired his brain, and pondered for a moment and said, "It is impossible for the whole world to disappear together, and there is another possibility, the problem is just in Luxor, and the signal to the outside of the city is blocked." As for whether there are any other people in the city, we'll have to make sure. ”

Zhang Lun sighed bitterly: "I finally know today what is more terrifying than the two people left in the world." ”

"What?" I'm curious.

"There are two men left."

I didn't get angry and said, "If you talk nonsense, I can make it only one." ”

For the next few hours, Zhang Lun and I drove around the city, looking for other people's tracks. We randomly entered some residential complexes, and from the outside, many of the houses were lit up, as if everything was normal. But when we climbed into the room through the window, we realized that they were just lights on, and there was no one in the room.

Zhang Lun picked up a drink on the table and said, "This orchid juice is still hot, it seems that the person has just disappeared." ”

I don't know what kind of drink orchid juice is, but it must be a specialty of Egypt, and it looks delicious. I saw Zhang Lun naturally drink the drink in the cup, and I asked with some disdain: "Aren't you afraid of drinking and causing trouble?" ”

Zhang Lun smiled: "What can happen, disappear after drinking?" That's the time to solve the case. ”

"No, I mean...... Aren't you afraid that this family has an infectious disease? ”

Zhang Lun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You look for clues again, I'll rinse my mouth......"

I don't know what a clue is, if it's something related to the mysterious disappearance of people in the city, anything that seems ordinary may or may not be related.

After a while, Zhang Lun came back from the bathroom and said to me: "Let's go to the supermarket to get some wine to drink, I'm dying of thirst after being busy for a long time." ”

Now that the supermarket is empty, the two of us can eat and drink as much as we want without paying. Zhang Lun took a bottle of beer and immediately drank it to his mouth, I don't know how to drink, so I opened a bottle of mineral water casually. The price tag below says that this small bottle of water is only sold for 1 Egyptian pound, which is equivalent to four cents of yuan, which is very cheap.

I glanced at Zhang Lun and saw that he was carrying a case of wine and a case of mineral water into the car, and then took a lot of food with him. Isn't this taking advantage of the fire? I followed him with two rice cookers with disdain.

After drinking and eating, Zhang Lun wiped his mouth with his hand, and then asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

I thought, "First of all, we can rule out the mass migration of people in Luxor." Not to mention whether they can all evacuate within a few hours, it is impossible for the entire city to leave no movement and traces - Thanos snaps his fingers and falls to the ground. ”

"The cars parked everywhere on the road can also prove that the original driver of the car really disappeared out of thin air." Zhang Lun nodded, "What do you think will be the reason?" ”

"I don't know, in my mind, nothing can do that, unless ......"

"Unless we're dreaming, or hallucinating." Zhang Lun continued with my words.

He was right, but I didn't feel any supernatural powers. There are three possibilities for a person to hallucinate: the first, mental illness, the second, blindfolded by demons, and the third, someone has cast a spell. But such a real and long-term illusion also happened to two people at the same time, and the first possibility can be directly ruled out. As for the latter two, if it is an ordinary person, it is reasonable, but both of us are people from the supernatural circle, and it is impossible not to be aware of it at all.

Whether it's an imperceptible vision, or having the whole city disappear into thin air, if anyone or a ghost can do anything, it's beyond my power, even my knowledge.

"Actually, there is another thing that must be understood." I said, "Why didn't the two of us disappear?" ”

Zhang Lun nodded in agreement: "On the surface, we are foreigners, which is the difference between us and the residents of Luxor. But I believe that there are not just two of us in the city, and even today there will be many other out-of-town tourists. ”

"Maybe it's because we know the Dao, maybe it's because we're going to the Valley of the Kings, or maybe it's because of the four great gods?"

Only by figuring out this problem can we determine the direction of the next investigation, but we have no clue at all!

Standing in this modern city, surrounded by high-rise buildings, it is empty. Not only people, but not even a bird, not a dog, no living creatures, it was a dead city.

Seeing that the time has come to more than four o'clock in the morning, we have been tossing and turning for a night. The hazy moonlight, hidden behind the drifting dark clouds, shone on the dead empty city from time to time.

"Something is wrong." I looked up at the moon, which was directly above me, and suddenly I realized the incredible fact, "The position of the moon has not changed this night!" ”

Zhang Lun soon discovered this problem: "According to the time, the moon should be about to set, replaced by the rising sun, but the moon is still above us." ”

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and this seems to be an eternal truth. But who would have thought that the sunset that sank last night would be the last time we took a look. From this day on, it may never rise again......
