Chapter Forty-Nine: There Is No End
"Why didn't you see it just now, do we really want to go in?"
Shen Yu hugged my arm and asked tremblingly.
I swallowed stiffly, listening to my own heartbeat.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven......
Count the heartbeat for a minute, go in the odd, stay in place in the even.
Don't say that I'm the kind of weak person who leaves fate to luck, then I ask you, do I get in or don't get in this situation?
I'm afraid that no one's words will convince me, so this is the only way I can do it.
A one-minute heartbeat is singular, which means we're going in.
I stared for a long time at the door that suddenly appeared in front of me, an old iron door, mottled and dull.
With a creak, I carefully pulled it open, and there seemed to be candlelight inside, illuminating the road ahead red.
Immediately after that, there is a long path, not like a house, flanked by large white walls without wallpaper, but very ordinary.
We walked for a long time, and even felt that it was a road with no end.
Until Shen Yu couldn't stand it anymore, he sat down on the spot, tapped his calf and complained lightly.
I didn't want to leave, not because I was tired, but because I was worried about what to do if there was danger in the future.
If we continue like this, we will not have the physical strength to deal with unexpected situations.
After sitting down, we looked back at the road we had come from, and we always felt that there was a shadow there.
"Who are you, and what are you doing at my house?"
It's not a feeling, there's a shadow there.
And he spoke, and the voice seemed to be that of the girl Ning Yu just now, and she finally didn't ask about our wallets.
Shen Yu and I were speechless for a while, and we didn't know how to answer at all.
Ning Yu approached us, and I saw that her appearance was obviously different from just now, her double ponytail had become a single ponytail, her face was much more mature, and she was much taller.
The little girl has become a girl.
If you want to say that Shen Xue is bold as a ghost, she floated over and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I asked first, don't be anti-customer-oriented."
Ning Yu was a little unhappy, his hands were on his hips, and his head was raised high.
Shen Xue retreated, but she didn't know what to say.
She would never say, we just saw a door here and came in.
In this way, it's strange that Ning Yu didn't arrest us as thieves.
Ning Yu saw that we didn't reply for a long time, and didn't ask questions, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, my family is poor and I don't have anything, so you can do whatever you want." ”
Unexpected surprise!
Unexpectedly, Ning Yu was very generous.
At this moment, I also stepped forward, and after several exchanges and greetings, I found that Ning Yu was actually very talkative, and there was no hostility at all.
It seems that we have a preconceived idea that Ning Yu is terrible.
She said she was only 23 years old, had just graduated from college and was looking for a job.
And she didn't know about this long trail.
We only told us that she came home and saw such a scene, and she had been walking for several hours and had not yet walked out.
We discussed privately that we planned to meet Ning Yu to go together, either to the end, or to return to the exit, after all, this is her home.
There was always a dark red light on the road, but we didn't know where it was coming from.
If you can find the light source, you may be able to get the information to go out.
Ning Yu also seemed to be aware of this, groping on the wall as she walked.
"Why don't you smash the wall open and see."
She said suddenly, and I replied casually: "I don't have tools in my hands, how can I smash them." ”
"Use your phone!"
Ning Yu took out his mobile phone, which was the popular "Chicken and Duck" many years ago.
I've heard that this kind of phone was a popular model from twenty years ago, and the quality is much better than the current one, and although it is an antique with the keys, it is staggeringly hard.
There were once people who used him to smash walnuts and upload them to the Internet for display.
Ning Yu stopped, slamming the wall with the chicken and duck, and our ears heard not the sound of metal and stones crashing, but the jingling of bells.
Ning Yu felt a little strange and didn't dare to smash it again, and I touched the wall lightly and said, "Smash!" Keep smashing! There's something inside! ”
Hearing my order, Ning Yu clenched the chicken and duck tightly, gritted his teeth and did so.
After enduring a period of noise, a small hole was finally smashed into the wall.
I used my phone to take a picture of it, and there were countless bells in it, the size of a thumb, and they were covered with talisman paper.
I reached out to take one off and take a closer look, but Shen Xue poked her head out from behind me and suddenly shouted, "Don't move!" It's full of unjust souls! ”
"What!"
I was startled and quickly withdrew my hand.
Shen Yu, who understood the talisman, came up to observe and said, "It seems that this place is not simple. This kind of rune paper is used to seal the soul, and the bell is not an ordinary bell, it is used to draw souls. Behind the walls should be all these things, in other words, behind them are all unjust souls! ”
I was so frightened that I almost didn't sit on the ground, because there were countless ghosts around us all the time.
Come to think of it, why is there no one on Changyin Road? Could it be that they're all sealed here?
My assumption is a bit bold, but it's highly likely.
Ning Yu told us: "Twenty years ago, this was a normal place, just like other places. Since the arrival of a strangely dressed person, the residents of the neighborhood have disappeared at a rate of one disappearance per day. Until yesterday, I came home to see that my parents were gone. ”
"Yesterday ......"
I don't care about the person in Ning Yu's mouth who is dressed strangely, even if this person may be the key to getting us out, I also express unexpected curiosity about her concept of time.
Ning Yu's ID card shows that she is forty years old, and her current appearance is only in her twenties, and looking at her chickens and ducks, it is also twenty years ago.
Could it be that she really entered a time loop as Shen Xue said, and Ning Yu had been living twenty years ago and couldn't go out.
If that's the case, I have doubts, Ning Yu, who was a teenager just now, can't get out, and Ning Yu, who is in her twenties now, can't go out, so will there be people in their thirties and forties?
They live together in the same space and different dimensions, what would it be like if they met together?
I don't know.
As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats.
I turned to the way I came, pointed that way, and said, "Let's go back!" ”
Shen Yu immediately expressed his reluctance, and said irritably: "Huh? Then we walked for so long, didn't we leave in vain! ”
"It's not for nothing, we're just going to store enough of us on this road."
Shen Yu didn't understand my words, and even I didn't understand it very well.
However, I knew that there must be something we wanted on the way here.
The way back was already familiar to us, and I used the light of my phone to keep it illuminated, hoping that someone would be able to see it.
Right! That's right! I don't know why I'm so sure that there will be people who will follow this path like us, and that they may well be us.
