Chapter 14: Mystery

Ye Yao pulled Cai Zhekai's collar and walked quickly.

It was half past five in the afternoon, and the sky was already a little dark, but it was far from dusk. The light blue canopy dragged a white trail, and the returning birds flapped their wings in twos and threes. After the last class in the afternoon, the queue for food in the cafeteria had already begun to grow, and the students who did not have the evening class were walking to the bathhouse with the bathtub and slippers and their hair scattered. The campus radio station was playing the music of the latest hits, and the laughter of conversations, the bells of walking bicycles, and the beating of basketballs on the playground were mixed together. Everything seemed so everyday, so peaceful and quiet.

And those who unfortunately disappeared are forever forgotten in such peace and quiet.

Cai Zhekai couldn't help but sniff as he grabbed the information of Ling Zihan and Wang Ye stolen from the archives.

"Crying?" Ye Yao glanced at him and said helplessly.

"Nope." Cai Zhekai turned his head, took off his glasses and wiped his face. The investigation in the archives caught him off guard and reminded him of the existence of Cai Zheyuan and Cai Zhexuan, although he didn't like the two brothers who always bullied him, but his heart was also uncomfortable, "Sun Han told me a story before. When he and his cousin were in elementary school, they were often chased by a white wild dog on their way home, which was particularly scary and unconvinced. Later, after graduating from elementary school, they wanted to go back to their original place to seek revenge on the wild dog, but found that the dog had been hit and killed by a speeding private car half a year ago. Their mood at the time is difficult to describe in words. ”

Cai Zhekai wiped away the last bit of tears: "I am in the same mood now. ”

Ye Yao unpacked the package and licked the lollipop, opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't say it, no way, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to the radio station, and then the melody of "Good Luck Comes" suddenly appeared on the campus radio, and the atmosphere suddenly became very festive in the laughter. Cai Zhekai finally smiled, pushed his glasses, and changed back to his usual shy but firm appearance: "I won't mention the past." In any case, let's go and save Ling Zihan and Senior Wang Ye first. ”

"Not bad." The black-haired girl took a bite of the lollipop and finally praised, "You're a little better than I thought." ”

The two of them walked briskly in the crowd one after the other, aiming at the printing shop that was open next to the cafeteria. They briefly discussed it and decided to take a direct stupid method first, that is, to copy Ling Zihan and Wang Ye's information and paste it all over the bulletin board to see how many people's memories could be recalled.

They were lucky that not long after the start of school during this period, the army of papers had not yet been launched, and the print shop was empty and empty.

"Make 300 copies first." Ye Yao took out the information and told the clerk with a lot of money. Cai Zhekai took the time to make a phone call and wanted to ask Lin Yan how the progress was, but the ringtone rang for a long time, but no one answered the phone.

“…… Lin Yan won't disappear too. He was worried.

Ye Yao hesitated, and said lightly, "It's not ......" but didn't dare to say it to death.

300 pieces of personal information were quickly copied, and the two walked out of the printing shop with the materials, looking at each other and wanting to call Lin Yan again, but just raised their heads and found that the campus radio seemed to have a sudden problem. The music was forcibly cut off, and at first you could faintly hear a startled voice from the other end of the radio room, classmate, what are you doing, and then it was silenced. Then, after a brief silence, the microphone was turned on again, and an unusually arrogant voice rang out.

"That's the end of the radio show." In the radio room, a certain microphone robber surnamed Lin widened his eyes and turned up the volume to the highest, "Next, it's my Lin Yan's time." ”

After the video, Ling Zihan was extremely glad that he had a good habit of carrying a power bank with him. Imagine that he also picked up the Cai brothers' mobile phone, but he missed such an important escape clue because he couldn't turn it on, wouldn't he have to hug Wang Ye and cry and regret it for life.

"Come on." Wang Ye pursed his lips, "I've brought it too." ”

Chairman Ling couldn't cry or laugh, stuffed the recharged mobile phone and power bank into the backpack on his back, closed the zipper, and changed the topic neatly, "Anyway, after watching the video, what do you think?" ”

"There's still too little information." Wang Ye shook his head, "There is only one video, and it is actually not universal. ”

"There's no way, we can only assume that the situation they encountered is not a special case."

Wang Ye looked left and right, pulled a chair and sat down: "That's interesting." ”

The video isn't long, it's only ten minutes, but if you analyze it closely, you can undoubtedly see many helpful details. First of all, Ling Zihan and Wang Ye could finally determine that they were not the only two people who came here, at least a group of people also suffered the same accident.

"But we've never heard of it." Ling Zihan thought thoughtfully, "Is the school pressing down?" Or does no one know at all? ”

"Do you hear the names of these two men?"

"I'm not sure about the specific words, but the pronunciation should be Cai Zhexuan and Cai Zheyuan." After Ling Zihan finished answering, he thought of something, so he asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?" Do you know? ”

"I don't know, but I have a guess." Wang Ye said, "The surname Cai is very common, but the names of the two can be seen to be named in the form of Cai Zhe X, and they are not very good. But my cousin Wang Han has a roommate, a boy with glasses, his name is Cai Zhekai, and he looks very similar to the two people in the video. ”

"A relative?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten. But herein lies the problem, I never heard the kid talk about his two older brothers who had disappeared from school. Our school can control the heavens and the earth with hands and eyes, and can we still control the tongues of other people's relatives? ”

Ling Zihan thought for a while, and his back was cold: "Do you remember the ending of Cai Zhexuan that Cai Zheyuan said?" ”

Disappear directly.

The two men didn't speak, and they thought of the worst-case scenario at the same time. The school never tried to suppress any disappearances, because no one was aware of the disappearance! Those students who disappeared disappeared from reality and from everyone's perception. If Cai Zhekai doesn't remember his two elder brothers, then will others remember them who are missing at the moment? Wang Ye's inference is reasonable, and therefore even more frightening. The moment they came to this strange space, had they been sentenced to death in reality?

"Nope." Ling Zihan came back to his senses, "There is still room for redemption." ”

"Forum." Wang Ye immediately understood what Ling Zihan meant, and the two of them said that way at the same time.

If people on the outside have begun to forget, then reminding them of themselves may help the current situation. The two of them looked at each other and realized how valuable the school forum was to them. Ling Zihan took out his mobile phone, took a breath, smiled at Wang Ye, and lowered his head to try to send the names of the two people directly. However, the prompt that is being sent is repeated in circles, and finally the signal of failure to send pops up. A drop of sweat slipped from the corner of Ling Zihan's jaw, and he tried to send content that had nothing to do with the personal information of the two of them again, and this time he could send it out smoothly.

It's as if some rule is stopping them.

Ling Zihan put down his phone and glanced at Wang Ye deeply. A feeling of being peeed at, mocked, choked by cold, damp hands rushed up the soft spine. And the voice said, Behold, ye will not escape. Wang Ye stared at his shoes and stood up, sneered sullenly, picked up the chair and slammed it against the window glass of the classroom, the glass did not move at all, and the chair fell back to the floor, colliding with a meaningless loud noise.

"It's kind of interesting." He jerked his head up, his brow furrowed, and he didn't know who he was asking, "What are we?" Prisoner? Or is it a plaything? ”

The incandescent lights flickered, and the classroom was empty and quiet, with nothing to answer. Ling Zihan pinched Wang Ye's shoulder, pulled another chair for him, and asked him to sit down, while he licked his lips and said with difficulty: "I think...... Neither. ”

"Hmm." Wang Ye took a breath and quickly calmed down. He patted Ling Zihan's hand on his shoulder, "At least we have one thing certain. There is something in this space, or is it the space itself, there is still its own consciousness. And our entry is not necessarily accidental, everything is the initiative of this consciousness. ”

"This consciousness has brought us here, and it must have its purpose. Judging from the video left by Cai Zheyuan, if we sit and wait to die, the final outcome will be to disappear into space silently. Wang Ye, do you know what this reminds me of? ”

Wang Ye understood in seconds, and he frowned in disgust.

- "Digestion." ”

Yes, they are not prisoners, nor are they playthings, but only the sustenance that this space must ingest in order to sustain its existence.

"Disgusting." Ling Zihan had a cold face, he was happy most of the time on weekdays, and rarely showed such an aggressive expression. Wang Ye stared at Ling Zihan bitterly, thinking out of tune about this kind of person who was not very angry, and it was quite interesting to be angry occasionally.

Ling Zihan would never know that Wang Ye was still thinking about these things at this moment. He pursed his lips, knowing that the chances of him and Wang Ye getting out alive were a little smaller, but his hands kept moving, opening the forum and editing new posts.

He won't stop working until the moment he disappears completely.

Ling Zihan sighed quietly, and said in his heart that Wang Ye knew that they had become the prey of this disgusting space, and he might be angry in his heart, so he might have to go to appease and appease him first.

However, Wang Ye was concerned about other things. He stared at Ling Zihan for a moment, then quickly spit on his brain, slid his gaze away from Ling Zihan's face, and stared at the doorknob behind him in a daze.

“…… Ling Zihan. In the next moment, Wang Ye was stunned, tugging on Ling Zihan's sleeve, his voice dry, "Is the doorknob turned?" ”
