Three days ago, a strange incident occurred in the county seat of X. Huge thorns grew in all corners of the county, and many people were pierced through their bodies and died. But the disaster did not end there, and after the thorn growth stopped, a thick fog appeared, and visibility was almost zero. This is a bizarre event that has not happened in X County for decades.

I don't know how I got to this deserted mountain. I just remember that after school, I walked on my way home as usual. But he was disoriented by the sudden fog and came here. The fog was so thick that I couldn't see everything around me. I can only know by feeling that this seems to be a mountain, the road under my feet is uphill with loess, and there are no miserable cries and cries around, as if I am the only one left in the world.

That's when I suddenly noticed a huge shadow in front of me. It was as if an unknown monster was standing in front of me. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move, and I was so cold that I could only stand still, as if waiting for a storm to come.

But after waiting for a while, I found that the huge shadow in front of me did not move at all, as if I had not been aware of my existence at all. I thought about it, and I thought that it was not an option to stand here, so I might as well go up and see what it was.

I was getting closer and closer to the great shadow, and I felt my heart pounding out, and I tried to hold my breath. Slowly I saw that it was a villa. I breathed a sigh of relief, ashamed of my nervousness, but thankfully no one could see me but me in the fog. Looking around, a thick fog obscured everything that could be seen around it, and the road when I came was already covered in the fog, and the only way to go back was to wait for the fog to clear.

I vaguely could only vaguely see that this was a small two-story western-style building, it seemed that it had been some years, I cautiously came to the house, timidly knocked on the door, and waited for a while to find that no one responded inside. "Isn't there anyone in there?" I was talking to myself as I reached for the doorknob and suddenly found that the door was open, and I looked inside and saw that there was really no one inside. I took a deep breath and decided to go inside, "If there's really no one, then I'll just wait here for the fog to clear, or something might happen if I'm outside." I thought as I walked into the house.

When I walked into the house, the door suddenly slammed shut, and I quickly turned around to see what was going on, but something strange happened, and the door disappeared. "Damn, no," I cursed in a whisper, my legs already shaking, and my instincts told me that there was an unknown force in this room that didn't want me to go. So who exactly is it? And why do you want to do that?

After a while, I heard faint sounds of rustling in the house, and if I listened closely, I would find that these sounds were coming from all sides of the house, as if something was crawling towards me, and it seemed like a lot of people were whispering. I stood there in a daze, my legs were shaking so much that I couldn't stand anymore, I wanted to cry, I wanted to shout, I wanted to run, but there was no way back, and I was afraid of disturbing the unknown monster in the darkness.

As the sound got closer and denser, I noticed that the house was slowly growing, the same thorns as outside, covering every corner of the house. After making sure it wasn't a monster, I breathed a sigh of relief. But as the thorns became denser and denser, my body began to be cut by the thorns, and blood flowed out, and I found that it would not be long before I was pierced by these violently growing thorns, and then I died like the people in the streets. So why should I go to the house when they all die in the same way? Just when I was at a loss, there was a light in the innermost part of the room, and the faint light seemed even more strange in the empty house, but it seemed that there was a call to guide me through, and at the same time, the thorns that were growing around me actually stopped growing with the light on the light, and the sound of rustling was gone, and the house was dead silent. I looked around and saw nothing unusual except for the light in the distance.

I was trembling and almost collapsing, but the room was full of thorns that would pierce my body if I wasn't careful. The situation is obvious, there is no choice but to walk towards the light. I took a few deep breaths to try to relax my nervous spirit, I looked back at the door that I had come in and it was still gone, and I suddenly felt that the door would never come back, and I was afraid that I would die here. The light in the middle of the room was still on. As I was hesitating, I suddenly felt a sharp pain under my feet, and I looked down to realize that many of the thorns that had just grown from the ground had pierced the instep of my foot, and now my foot was a blur of flesh and blood. "Tsk, why didn't I feel anything at all? Was it because I was too scared to notice? I said to myself. My heart was filled with more doubts, and I took a closer look at the other injuries on my body, and realized that something seemed wrong. Many parts of my body had been pierced by thorns, including my shoulders, but I didn't feel any pain, and now the stab wounds were starting to bleed and itch.

But nothing else happened, the light in the distance was still on, and it seemed so abrupt in this strange house, that I knew I had no choice but to stand here and die, or to come forward and see if it was a ghost or a monster playing tricks on me.

I took a deep breath and walked towards the light. With each step, the thorns pierced my feet again, again... Again.... Finally, when I was about to faint from the pain, I walked up to the light. I looked around and there was no one, "Then who lit this light?" I wondered. "What to do, what to do..."When I was at a loss, I saw that the light flickered a few times, and suddenly went out. I was startled, forgot about the thorns on the ground, and sat down on the ground. There was definitely no wind just now, and I didn't see anyone. Why did the light flicker and go out, someone must have blown it, but I was obviously next to the lamp, and there was no one at all, could it... Be..... Ghost? I looked horrified into the darkness ahead, and suddenly I saw a man standing in the darkness. But just when I wanted to take a closer look, suddenly there was a sharp pain in my body, as if someone had dug out my heart alive, and the pain made me bow up; Headache, as if the temples are about to burst; Nausea, dark, I don't know if I'm vomiting all the time, my body can't move at this time, I can't use my strength, but the severe pain is still continuing, what's going on? That's when I suddenly realized that it was over, this thorn was poisonous!

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in the darkness, ethereal and mysterious, making this already strange house even more terrifying, which can be described as "terrifying". However, the body has been unable to move due to poisoning, and it is in a state of being half dead. I could only let the laughter laugh freely, and then I saw the figure in the darkness walking towards me.

In the dimness I could feel the man in the darkness stop beside me. And even if I couldn't do it with fear, I couldn't move, I was just struggling to the death. Then I heard the man's ghostly voice say, "You were poisoned by a thorn wound, and now the toxin has spread all over your body, and you are going to die." After a long time, he said again, but more like saying to himself: "It's been decades, and I have forgotten the existence of time." You are the first person to come here, saying that it is fate and feeling that it is unfair to you, maybe this is your fate! Listening to him, I felt chills all over my body: "Decades? I'm only in his twenties when I hear this guy talk, what's going on? "I really wanted to ask him, but the pain was so great that I couldn't speak, and I could only struggle to hold on with my last strength to keep myself from passing out.

At this time, I saw the man sneer and wave his hand casually. I was amazed to find that all the thorns around me suddenly disappeared, and the room was intact, as if everything was just a dream, but the great pain made me realize that what had just happened was true. I saw the man lean over and come to my ear and whisper, "My name is Heyi, and you're so lucky." You've always fantasized about living in the dark, right, maybe that's what we have in common, so now congratulations, the fantasy has come true, "My eyes widened and I saw the man's blood-red eyes. At this time, the consciousness could no longer hold on, and there was darkness in front of me for a moment, am I dead?

In the dark, I felt a burning pain in my body, as if there was a force changing my body. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I don't know if it's just the feeling of being dead. But soon I noticed that my body was still conscious, and consciousness seemed to be gradually returning, but I still couldn't open my eyes. I heard the man next to me sitting down; I heard the sound of thorns growing outside the house; I heard the shouts and screams of people on the road; The sound of people crying was heard........

I opened it suddenly, and found that my body could move, and I was not dead. I tried to stand up, but I found that the scars on my body were all healed, and I looked around to see that the man was sitting on the couch not far away with his back to me. But the strange thing is that before the injury I couldn't see anything in the darkness at all, but now I can see everything in the darkness, even the water droplets on the window, and the darkness seems to me like day. I remember when I was unconscious, I felt as if I heard the miserable screams of people in the street in the distance, as if I was right next to me. Thinking of this, I tried to listen again, and sure enough, I heard the cries of people on the road, the sound of running....

"What's going on?" I said to myself. At this time, I remembered the man sitting on the sofa, and I remember that he told me that his name was "Heyi", and I thought that man must know the answer.
