Chapter 12: I'm Not Me Anymore

The subway station, the lottery vending machine opposite the supermarket, the downstairs of the company, the hospital, and even the antique street, I ran around all day, and I didn't see Cortana again.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air, and there was no evidence of her existence except for the balance on her bank card.

In the evening, I sat on the steps at the entrance of the antique street, looking at the bright lights of the neighborhood in a daze.

Perhaps, I can find the person she brought me here to see that day?

Suddenly, I had the motivation to grope my way to the end of the street, closed my eyes, and groped my way forward with the clues of my memory.

Stopping and walking, I looked at the road under my feet, along the alley in the middle of the old-fashioned residential buildings, to a path at the foot of the mountain.

There is indeed a mountain next to the back of the antique street, but this mountain, I took out my mobile phone, opened the map software that came with it, located the current location, and looked at the display above, and the pores were all opened in an instant:

Mingde Cemetery

This cemetery, for some years, was a mass grave in ancient times, and to this day, it is still the resting place of the deceased.

Wouldn't this path be a shortcut to Mingde Cemetery?

At night, there are no lights in the forest, and the path can only be seen at the entrance, and beyond that, it is all swallowed up by black bushes.

I swallowed, and I couldn't move a little.

If you go up at night, will you bump into a ghost?

I was a little cowardly, so I dared to stand at the foot of the mountain and look up.

Well? There seems to be light up there!

I rubbed my eyes and made sure that there was indeed a ball of light, but it was a little yellowish, and there was a blue-green halo in the yellow, which seemed to float at the top of the mountain, and after I stared at it, it seemed to have a tendency to move down the mountain.

Originally, it was just a shimmer the size of a bean, but it gradually changed, and soon it was the size of a palm.

It's really moving, and it's targeted, it's moving towards me.

I saw the light, from blurry to clear, it was a man's head, his mouth slightly open, his whole face was a little puffy, his hair was messy and long, and a pair of eyes were looking straight at me.

Suddenly, he grinned at me.

I ran back with my legs, no direction, no extra thinking, instinctively going to a crowded place.

This old alley, I don't know what's going on, it's only six or seven o'clock, and there is no smell of lights, and the whole residential area is mixed and messy, and the roads are staggered.

I don't know how many falls I fell, how many heels I planted, and then I saw the end of the antique street.

Regardless of it, I was crazy, and my whole body jumped up and hit the ground at the end of the street.

In my heart, when I get to the end of the antique street, I am safe.

"Ouch-"

But in fact, at the end of the antique street, I was not alone, I smashed the person standing there on the phone directly to the ground, and at the last second of consciousness, I heard a person exclaim.

When I woke up again, I was in a large living room surrounded by several middle-aged men I didn't know.

"Sister Ning, are you awake?"

A bald man, with his little eyes behind his glasses, stared at me.

"Who are you?"

I sat up from the recliner with a bang, and then I realized that my voice had changed.

"It's me, Xiao Chen!"

Those little eyes winked at me, and the greasy face was full of smiles:

"Sister Ning, the customer is still waiting, whether your enamel porcelain vase is sold or not, give me an accurate word!"

"Huh?"

I was a little confused, and then I noticed that several people behind him, middle-aged men wearing suits and combing big backs, I didn't know any of these people.

"Didn't you just call Mr. Xu, what did Mr. Xu say!"

The bald man was a little anxious, and asked me a little anxiously.

"Huh?"

I finally realized that something was wrong there, and that my voice, including my clothes, and the hands I had on my lap, were not my own.

"Where's the bathroom?"

I was a little panicked, my voice was full of muffle, and when I heard it, it was the voice of a middle-aged woman.

"Go straight, turn right!"

The bald man was stunned, looked at my hand on his arm, and pointed it out to me.

I almost rushed to where he was pointing.

"I'm sorry, everyone, Sister Ning is a little nervous, wait a minute!"

The bald man explained outside.

The bathroom is the kind of single, with a reverse lock and buckle door, the decoration inside is very magnificent, a mirror, hanging all over the wall, under the mirror, is a white porcelain polished sink, the toilet is still in the compartment, also with a door.

The mirror was facing the first door, and inside reflected a middle-aged woman, with her bubble noodle head half-tied, wearing three or four shiny jewelry, heavy makeup, an exaggerated pair of round earrings hanging from her ears, and a cheongsam with a slit to the base of her thighs, flesh-colored stockings inside, all the way to her ankles, and in bright red high heels.

What movements I make, what expressions I have, and the people in the mirror are also synchronized.

I immediately turned around and locked the first door.

Oh my God, what's going on?

Standing in front of the mirror, I pinched, twisted, and even slapped myself seven or eight times in front of this face.

It hurts, it hurts!

I looked in the mirror, the unfamiliar face with a red and swollen face, and I was completely confused.

I'm not me anymore?

"Sister Ning, are you okay? Customers are impatient! โ€

The bald man knocked on the door and shouted with some anxiety:

"You just care about doing it boldly and with confidence, these people are rich people who don't know the goods, we don't have much money for this order!"

Before I could recover from the shock, the sound outside the door, my first reaction, was to lock him out and not let him in.

"Sister Ning? Get out of here! โ€

The bald man turned the lock of the door unrelentingly, and I put the lock on inside.

What to do? What to do? I'm anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"If you don't come out, I'll break in!"

The bald man was a little impatient, and scolded:

"Stinky, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, you can do it, you can do what you say!"

I panicked and just wanted to get him away.

There was no sound outside the door soon, and I slid to the ground against the door.

"Jingle bellโ€”"

It was the ringtone of my mobile phone, and I realized that I had a mobile phone around my neck.

"Heyโ€”"

Almost reflexively, I immediately picked it up and pressed it around, only to hit the answer button.

"An Ning, those people are strips, you and Xiao Chen run quickly!"

The person on the other end of the phone, after saying this, hung up.

I was still in a daze, and it took me a long time to react.

I can find Han Yunduo, yes, Han Yunduo, I remember her number, she must have a way to save me.
