Chapter 5: Something Isn't Right
The three of them, almost in disbelief, began racking their brains, searching their memories for a week.
At the beginning of the week, a very ordinary Monday.
Wang Han, who has a pair of brown pupils, got up, washed, cleaned up, and glanced at his roommates before going out. Sun Han, who has always been diligent, had already gone out for morning exercises, and the glasses frames used to put cool were put aside; And Cai Zhekai, who really wears glasses, also ran to the library as always, and Lin Yan, another roommate who often disappears, buried himself in the quilt and slept lawlessly.
ββ¦β¦ It's half past seven. The young man lifted the brim of his hat and reached out and patted Lin Yan's bed board hard, successfully scaring him out of his sweet dream. Then, thinking that he had done what he had to do, the young man stopped shouting at his roommate with his black hair all over his head and screaming that he was late, and went out alone with his schoolbag on his back.
Wang Han is a young man who looks very ordinary, but his background is not ordinary.
He was an illegitimate child who was not glamorous to say. His mother abandoned him, and his father didn't value him, so he grew up surviving in the cracks of adults, untilβuntil he grew up a little, paid some price, promised some reward, and was enough to use his strength to get out of that cold home.
True, no one has ever helped him, everything is on his own. But sometimes, inexplicably, Wang Han will feel that he has a big brother to rely on, he is tall, to say the same, with the same black hair as him, and maybe a pair of big bright eyes. But more often, Wang Han understands that the powerful figure in his mind is just a fantasy after all, and the road still has to be walked alone.
It's almost eight o'clock, Wang Han has a morning class today, the teacher is strict, and if you are late, you may have to deduct the usual points.
Thinking like this, he hurriedly quickened his pace, and even when he saw the two juniors in front of him, he simply nodded.
The two girls were standing slimly on the side of the road, as if they were arguing about something, their faces were ugly, but the passers-by were not surprised, anyway, the two often disagreed, and quarrels were just ordinary operations. One is Ye Yao, the new president of the university's student union, and the other is the new vice president, but it is not clear what they are called. It's funny to say that the chairman and vice president of the university's student union have always been incompatible, not right, and they have to quarrel at every turn, just like the last one...... ...... of the previous session
β¦β¦ Who's coming with whom?
Wang Han was confused for a second, and he found that he couldn't remember who the chairman and vice chairman of the student union were before the change. But it's not a big deal after all, and it's still important to have a morning class right now. Therefore, the young man just shook his head slightly, and ran to the classroom where he was going to be taught in the last moment.
So, just like that, for a whole week, he didn't find any problems.
Now that I saw this post, in retrospect, it was all clearly wrong.
"But we didn't even think it was strange." Cai Zhekai sat in his chair and muttered, "This is a little creepy." β
It became clear that something, or rather an unknown force, was interfering with their perception and distorting the reality that already existed. Thinking about it carefully, Ling Zihan and Wang Ye have been missing for a week, such as Cai Zhekai and Sun Han, who have no friendship with them, it is understandable that they did not find out about their disappearance, but even Wang Ye's cousin Wang Han and Ye Yao, who has a good relationship with Ling Zihan with the contact information of everyone in their dormitory, did not find anything unusual, it would be terrible.
Sun Han bit his fingers and said confusedly: "They don't go to class for a whole week, doesn't the teacher call names?" Don't classmates feel suspicious? β
"At the moment, it seems that there is none." Wang Han glanced at him, "It's as if the existence of my eldest brother and Ling Zihan has been erased from the world, and no one realizes that they should exist." Ling Zihan I know that social relations are simple, except for a friend of the opposite sex, Ye Yao is almost a close person. But after my eldest brother and I left home, we depended on each other, and I ...... I didn't really remember that I had a big brother. β
Speaking of this, his good-looking eyes flashed with a hint of fear. If it weren't for Wang Han who suddenly saw this post on the campus BBS today, if it wasn't for his eldest brother Wang Ye who happened to have told him about it, wouldn't he have been able to remember Wang Ye's existence anymore, and no one would have realized that there were still two missing students in the world? Now, Wang Han doesn't know the ins and outs of all this for the time being, but he feels extremely angry and happy. At the same time, he was also wondering, besides himself, is there anyone else who is also aware of the disappearance of Wang Ye and Ling Zihan?
The dormitory was silent, and no one spoke for a moment. They looked at each other, exchanging the disillusionment of each other's worldview and the confusion in their eyes. You must know that the three of them are regular college students who have come up from materialist education all the way, and now they suddenly find that the world is not as simple as they imagined, and they are almost brain crashes.
"The only good news is." In the end, it was Wang Han who took the lead in breaking the silence, because of his life experience, he always had to be calmer than his peers around him, "The only good news is that judging from the time and content of the final reply to the post, the eldest brother and Ling Zihan have not encountered any mortal danger." They're alive, and we still have time. β
ββ¦β¦ Have time for what to do? β
Wang Han narrowed his eyes, and his expression was as firm as his eldest brother:
"Get them out."
To be honest, Wang Ye really felt that he needed to be saved at the moment.
His hands and feet froze in place, and he couldn't help but glance at the strange Guanyin with his peripheral vision.
It can't be mistaken, the statue's eyes, which had narrowed kindly one moment, were now completely open. It didn't speak, it didn't move, it didn't make strange noises, it didn't do anything that should happen in a haunted place, it just stood there quietly, its dark and pupilless eyes wide open, the corners of its mouth cut strangely raised, and a scarlet flower in its hand.
An ominous float in the air.
Wang Ye's throat began to feel thirsty, and he felt a strong crisis, as if a sharp beep stirred the soft gray brain. Ling Zihan was by his side, he was by Wang Ye's side, they should feel at ease that someone was company, but at this moment, they could only breathe in a big gulp, and a message had never appeared so clearly in their brains.
It's dangerous here.
ββ¦β¦ Run! Ling Zihan squeezed the word out of his throat, grabbed Wang Ye's right hand and ran towards the exit of the office. At the same time, the lights in the room went out, and he felt a distorted gaze clinging to his back, a viscous malice in the dark air. Ling Zihan was almost invisible, and his eyes hadn't been able to adjust to the sudden darkness. He didn't know what was in this darkness, he only knew that he was holding on to Wang Ye tightly, grabbing his hand, and he absolutely couldn't let go here.
A thought was firmly engraved in Ling Zihan's heart - he and Wang Ye came in together, so they had to go out together.
With a bang, Ling Zihan slammed the door. The windowpane of the room trembled, and his hands ached. They ran fast enough, fast enough, decisive enough, so that the palpitating danger was smoothly blocked by the chaotic space, and it could not be returned in a short time.
Ling Zihan was nervous, and Wang Ye was naturally afraid, but inexplicable anger and unwillingness rose in his heart.
He was afraid, but he didn't want to admit it, and he never wanted to be burdened by fear. The hands of the two were still clasped together, Wang Ye glanced at Ling Zihan, and tried to break his hand out of his hand, but after trying a few times without success, he had to give up. After all, in the face of danger, this is not a big deal. At this moment, Ling Zihan's temperature came from the palm of his hand, and even the hardest-hearted person couldn't speak ill of it. Wang Ye stood there, led by Ling Zihan, unconsciously calmed down, and could observe the room where the two of them were currently with peace of mind.
Undoubtedly, it is a new place, and it should not be connected to the principal's office. This is a classroom, the specific location is difficult to distinguish, can only be vaguely identified from the decoration in the fourth teaching building. This classroom looks normal, at least so far there have been no strange Buddha statues, offerings, and no strange shadows standing outside the windows on either side, everything is as usual. At this moment, Ling Zihan finally calmed down, he realized for the first time that he was still holding Wang Ye's hand, and while feeling afraid, he was embarrassed and hurriedly let go.
"Ahem." He coughed as if to hide something.
Wang Ye glanced back at him, smiled and didn't speak. The atmosphere seemed to be a little lighter, but it was undoubtedly only fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, they had to face the perilous surroundings and the unknown darkness in the corners. He sighed softly, feeling so powerless for the first time in his life. But fortunately, this time they were two people. So Wang Ye turned around, and the quietly burning flame looked at the calm in Ling Zihan's eyes, pretending to pick the corners of his mouth easily. Wang Ye called Ling Zihan's name lightly, and after he answered, he spit out four words categorically:
"We have to escape."
