At noon in the middle of summer, the scorching sun scorched everything on the earth mercilessly.

The sun was scorching, the sun was blazing, and the whole city looked like a burnt brick kiln, and the air seemed to stop flowing, filling with a fire-like heat wave, making people breathless.

Sister Chai and Xiaoxue are sitting on the table and chair outside a cold drink shop on a certain commercial street at the moment, in such a cool and refreshing place, while tasting the holy products of summer, while talking in a low voice.

They don't show much desire to shop like ordinary girls, and they don't seem to be shopping to chat with their girlfriends while shopping, talk about the recent situation or something.

If it was in normal times, then of course they wouldn't mind enjoying life like this.

- But now, they are not in that mood.

"Sister Chai, I've asked them to help them find the information as much as possible, but the progress doesn't seem to be great...... We definitely can't find the physical information, and the information on the Internet is only that, no matter how much we search, it won't suddenly come up......"

Xiaoxue had a bitter face, and while taking out her mobile phone to check the information, she spread out the documents on the table and compared.

"The legend of those two ghost buildings seems to have existed a long, long time ago, but we can't find out exactly when...... And there are rumors about the woman in red jumping off the building, and I haven't been able to find much ......."

"Not even rumors?" Sister Chai frowned, as if she was a little unacceptable to this discovery.

"It's not nothing, it's just ...... The kind of people who have different opinions. Xiaoxue sighed, "Sister Chai, you also know that the rumors may not be completely false, and there must be a reason for the groundless......

Sister Chai seemed to understand a little: "...... In other words, there is no common basis for the rumors about the Lady in Red? ”

"Yes, those rumors that everyone is familiar with, even if they are rumors, even if there are many theories, at least the thing itself is recognized!"

Xiaoxue lay on the table in a dejected manner, her long hair hanging down her shoulders.

"It's like a cat-faced old lady or something, there are all kinds of theories, and some people say that it is a corpse fraud, and finally the army is dispatched to solve it...... But no matter what the way it is, at least the incident itself is recognized. ”

In other words, no matter what the claim is, even if it can't be proven, at least the incident itself is not false, or many people know about the rumor and think it is true.

It is precisely because of this foundation that everyone knows that the rumors have been able to develop.

It's such a simple truth, whether it is a fraud or not, or whether it is solved by the last dispatch of the army, at least everyone knows about the cat-faced old lady, and the different statements are just different opinions on the same thing.

In the same way, if there was really something about the woman in red jumping off the building in the conjoined ghost building before, then even if there are different theories, at least the basis of the rumors is the same.

And if it never existed, then it ......

"Anyway, that's it, about the legends of those two ghost buildings, we found a lot of news, but it's all in everything."

Xiaoxue muttered in a low voice.

"Maybe one person knows a rumor, but the others don't, and vice versa. Sister Chai, the same is true of the thing you asked me to check, it is true that some people say, but there are not many, it doesn't seem to be true......"

"Well, there's no reason for that...... Am I guessing wrong? ”

Sister Chai thought carefully for a moment, and then seemed to become a little distressed.

"Xiaoxue, you said that you should ask the police uncle for help, he also saw that phenomenon that night, he should believe it...... And he's a policeman, and with his channels, he should be able to find some hidden files or something, right? ”

For her new idea, Xiaoxue just couldn't help but sigh:

"Then what reason should be used, and Sister Chai, are you going to expose your secret? Others won't believe it even if they say it, but people who also saw this kind of thing that night will find out that you ......"

She bit her lower lip lightly and didn't continue, just shook her head slowly as if to express her disapproval.

“……”

Hearing this, Sister Chai also fell silent and did not answer immediately.

After all, it is true that the more people know about this matter, the more risky it is, so in addition to Xiaoxue, who already knows about it, she doesn't want to let more people know about her speciality.

Especially for aspects that may come into contact with the official, most people will subconsciously want to avoid it, which is a normal reaction.

Everyone is a mature adult, so naturally they don't think about being caught and slice by the state machine. After all, it's nothing to joke, ridicule or complain about this kind of thing, and if you really believe it, you will be a complete fool.

If something is really discovered and confirmed, the state will definitely pay attention to it and will try its best to study it, but it will definitely not be so brainbroken that it will immediately arrest people and slice them.

Speaking of which, what exactly is the point of slicing research in order to ensure that the value is maximized? Can you make sure that all the secrets are studied at once?

For this, even at the expense of what may be the only cherished sample?

Don't be stupid, people who can enter national research institutions are not so brainless and naïve, they even care more about the safety of the samples themselves than anyone else......

Of course, a high-level rice worm life that has lost most of its freedom may be absolutely impossible to escape.

It was precisely because of such a possibility that Sister Chai certainly could not risk exposing herself. If she hadn't been so shocked last night and desperately wanted to find someone to share her panic, she would never have told Xiaoxue.

To be honest, after she calmed down now, she already regretted it a little. Why was he so uncontrollable, as soon as he found out the problem, he panicked so much that he couldn't help himself, and immediately shared it with Xiaoxue?

It's not that you can't trust the other party, and it's not that you have begun to suspect that the other party may live up to your trust, but instead of worrying so much, it's better not to let such a possibility appear in the first place, wouldn't that be better?

As Sister Chai's thinking diverged and she didn't answer, Xiaoxue didn't know what to say.

For a while, the two girls were inexplicably silent, not knowing what they were thinking.

But at this moment, a voice came from the side-

"These two girls, may I ask if I can sit here?"

“……”

“……”

Both girls visibly raised their eyebrows, and then turned their heads at the same time to see a young man standing next to their table, looking at them with a smile.

- or more precisely, he was looking at Sister Chai, his dark eyes looking deep and shining.

"I'm not free, hurry up and walk away for me, I'm not interested in you, do you hear clearly!"

Sister Chai, who was already having a headache for some problems, couldn't help but roll her eyes. She propped her head with one hand and looked sideways, and found that there were empty seats at other tables, and immediately said angrily.

If there is no seat, so she has to share a table, then she won't mind too much, but now the other party is clearly here to talk.

She has seen a lot of this kind of person, and if she were in normal times, she would be able to deal with it a little more ladylike and polite. But now, she's not polite at all.

And the same is true of Xiaoxue next to her, she just sighed, picked up the cold drink in front of her and dug a spoonful into her mouth, and didn't say anything.

However, the young man didn't seem to think so, or his opening of the question was more like a routine, no matter what Sister Chai answered, his next actions would not change.

That's right, he pulled out a chair and sat down next to the table, ignoring the fact that the two girls didn't want to share a table with him.

"You ——!!"

Sister Chai felt extremely angry for a moment, and she resisted the urge not to smash the cold drink in her hand on the other party's face, of course, it was also related to her best friend holding her arm for the first time.

Rao was like this, she still glared angrily, and stared at the young man sitting down opposite without concealment:

"Don't you understand what I just said? …… Don't come to disgust people at this time, don't you men who can go up and talk to anyone you see on the street, don't you feel that you are too thick-skinned? ”

"Oh, I'm not here to talk, so I don't think so." The young man said casually, and responded lightly to Sister Chai's hard tone, "The main thing is that I happened to meet, so I kindly reminded ......"

"Oh, what's this new routine? Kind to remind me? Sister Chai sneered, "Hehe, I don't believe there is any kindness, you directly said that you are here to cheat money, maybe I am more acceptable." ”

“……”

“……”

The young man also frowned, and then stretched out his index knuckle and tapped the table gently: "Okay, if you think this will make you feel more at ease, then I will charge a fee to answer, accept five thousand, and refuse to bargain." ”

"You are so cheeky that you can't understand me? I'm telling you to go away immediately! Sister Chai finally got completely impatient, she turned her head to look at the cold drink shop, "Waiter, can you please bother—eh?" ”

The words stopped abruptly, as if she had discovered something terrible, and the girl's pupils contracted suddenly.

And the completely impatient look on her face had completely turned into a shocked and panicked expression almost instantly.

Xiaoxue also sensed something, and quickly turned her head to look, and then almost immediately, her eyes widened in disbelief, and her expression was the same as the good sister next to her.

The street is still the same street, the cold drink shop is still the same cold drink shop, whether it is the busy waiters inside the store or the customers enjoying the cool under the umbrella outside the store, it is no different from before.

- Only, without warning, the surroundings were completely quiet.

It's a chilling still, as if everything in sight has been paused, and everyone seems to stop moving, the cars on the road stop moving, and the people on the sidewalk stop moving.

Everyone became a frozen statue, and not only people, but even the moving vehicles, the falling leaves next to the green belt, all objects stood still, as if the river of time had been frozen at this moment.

Looking around, the two girls seemed to be frozen, and time was frozen at this moment.

Until a long time later—

"What the hell is this...... How...... Matter? ”

"Is it, time, time stopped?"

The two of them finally reacted, stiff as rusty robots, and turned their heads and stammered to the young man opposite.

Even the most stupid person should know who is the initiator at this time.

It's just that they don't know that of course it can't be that time has stopped, it's just the effect of illusion. Everything they saw was just an illusion, and the rest of the people in reality were still able to move normally at this time.

However, the "they" seen by other people in reality are also illusions, but they behave normally and will not be noticeable.

In this way, the two-way illusion creates a relatively independent space directly on the bustling shopping street where people come and go, and no matter what you talk to, no one will be noticed.
