Chapter 564: A Strange Town (Part I)

As if to confirm my ominous premonitions. Remember our address novel: The bus suddenly stopped, followed by the screams of the people around it. The long sound of brakes dragged a strange tension that came out of my own mind, and for a moment I didn't know what was going on.

I only listened to the people around me talking about it, and then I realized that it seemed that I had just bumped into someone.

The bus slid for a while and stopped. The driver was sweating profusely and jumped out of the car in a panic to see what was going on. Many of the people who joined in the excitement simply followed, laughing and discussing, while looking at the scene. Human beings are such creatures, they don't care about themselves, they hang high, they like to watch the excitement and then gloat when they encounter accidents.

I'm a naturally good person, and of course, I can also be considered to have a natural quality of gossiping and making fun. Of course, I won't be bored in the car when I encounter this kind of thing, and I ran down as soon as possible.

The condition at the scene of the accident was dire.

The bright red blood stains were dragged by the car for more than forty meters, and there was a pile of white flowers not far from the accident, which seemed to be brains. The victim was hit head-on by the front of the car, and after falling, his clothes were hung by the steel body sticking out from under the car, and he was dragged to death on the ground.

The driver kept wiping his sweat and didn't look at the scene, just took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone. It didn't take long for the police to come.

"It's none of my business, she rushed out of the road by herself. The people in the car can testify to me. I didn't drive illegally. "The driver exonerated himself as soon as possible.

His words were immediately confirmed.

Because my mind was in a trance at that time, I didn't see the situation clearly, and I only knew that something 'snapped' and hit the front of the car. But the people in the front row saw it clearly. They happily and point-in-finger described the situation at that time, and it was obvious that this rare thing had brought more than the slightest pleasure to their boring lives, and it was not their own daughter who died anyway, so why should they be sad.

The policeman was a little impatient, absent-mindedly taking investigative notes.

The matter is very simple, it is not complicated, it is true that the deceased ran out in a panic for some reason, got into the road, and was hit by an oncoming car and was shattered.

As for why she panicked, that's a matter for the criminal police team.

A little later, the body of the deceased was pulled out from under the car. I leaned over to take a look and froze.

Originally, looking at her figure, dress, and style, I thought she was just an ordinary schoolgirl. But this girl's leg hair is too long, even if it is an excess of male hormones, it is impossible to grow to this extent.

Looking at her distorted face after being hit by a car, I only glanced at it, and suddenly, my whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and my head was in chaos, and I was so stunned in place.

The person who was hit by the bus in front of her was not a girl at all. She was a male, only about nineteen years old.

And it just so happens that I know.

The deceased, is traveling.

I remember that a few years ago, after a Wal-Mart store in the United States canceled the "single shopping" activity to make it easier for customers to find their friends, 63-year-old customer Dale Falbo was very unhappy about this. "I'm disappointed, where is a guy over 40 who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't go to bars, goes on a date?" he said. ”

Interestingly, I thought of this story as I watched Zhou You, dressed in women's clothes, die under the wheel of the bus I was riding.

I don't understand what I was feeling at that time, to be honest, I didn't have any intersection with him, and even he was known through his letters. He was just a stranger to me who only knew his name, and I don't feel sad about his death. But one thing I'm sure of is that I was surprised and shocked. The traffic policeman standing next to the corpse was also surprised, and he called to urge the people of the criminal police team to come quickly, and at the same time pulled up the cordon.

I stood motionless, my mind racing. Why do you wear women's clothes on this trip? Why was he so panicked? Could it be that someone is chasing him?

He looked up at his surroundings. This stretch of road is straight and there are no bends. The grass on both sides of the highway is overgrown, and some of the grass is as deep as 1.8 meters, which is why the car driver did not react when Zhou You suddenly rushed out.

The grass not far to the left of the highway clearly shows traces of crushing, which should be the place where you wandered around.

He looked down at the corpse again. At this time, the traffic police had already covered him with a white cloth, and there was no way to find some clues from the side. It's better to follow the path he came to take a look.

Without saying hello to anyone, I crept into the grass.

There are many kinds of weeds around me, but the most common one is elderberry, a tall perennial subshrub that reaches up to 3 meters at its deepest point, which really makes me feel a little emotional. There is such a large vacant land here, and it has been reclaimed casually and turned into fertile land, and no one even pays attention to it. If you lose it in your hometown, it is really an unreasonable thing.

After walking in the direction that Zhou You had come from, in the distance, I could faintly see some old buildings in sight.

I hurriedly took out the map I bought at the train station and looked at it, and after looking for a long time, I couldn't find the location of those buildings on the map. I'm depressed, I bought the latest version of the map, and the land planning department of this place is too lazy!

Whatever, I want to go over and take a look.

After walking for about twenty minutes, I finally came to the complex. What seemed like an old town was a rough old town, and I emerged from the grass and stood on a stone-paved path.

The road was in disrepair, and many weeds were emerging from the cracks in the stones, making it indescribably desolate and depressed.

The road stretched straight ahead, and from under an archway not far away, it entered the town.

I looked up at the archway.

The so-called archway is basically a building with pillars like a door, which is generally taller and larger. In the old days, it was mostly seen at intersections or arteries and played a decorative role. This archway is no exception. It was about 10 meters tall and more than 5 meters wide, but its shape surprised me.

The general archway can be divided into two kinds of pillar archway and column not out of the head archway, and the classification method is mainly to see whether the pillar is out of the ridge. But the archway in this town not only does not have a head, but even the head of the building is not a regular trapezoid. It is in the shape of a saw-shaped jagged direction, and the three heads of the building are like the sharp teeth of three evil beasts, which is hideous and terrifying, and it is terrifying. In particular, most of the red paint on the surface has fallen off due to weathering, revealing the main body that is black inside, and I don't know what material it is.

What the hell are these things?

I walked forward a few steps in confusion and touched the archway with my hand. It's cold at the beginning, a bit like stone, but with a wooden texture. I looked up at the sky, the sun was very strong, and although it was autumn, the temperature here was still under 30 degrees on average. Weird! The sun has been shining for so long, and there is no shelter nearby, whether this plaque is wooden or stone, it should be very hot, right? How could it be so cold, even cold and a little scary.

Weird, it's so weird. Hey, this town, it's kind of interesting.

I looked around, and the town was surrounded by low earthen walls, so I couldn't see inside. Through the archway, you can only see the stone road that stretches straight forward at your feet. I took out my knife and scratched it in the archway, it was very hard, and my Swiss Army knife actually made a small white mark under the force.

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I simply stabbed down with the blade, only to hear a piercing sound of gold and jade colliding, and the blade finally pierced into the shallow point. I shook the knife from side to side, and it took a lot of effort to pry a small piece from the foot of the archway.

This thing is still cold and piercing in my hand, like wood but not wood, like jade and not jade material, which reminds me of tree jade, but the feeling is very different. I carefully wrapped it in paper and put it in the compartment of my duffel bag.

Whatever it is, send it to a friend for testing when you get home. Now, let's go and find out if Zhou You has left some clues inside.

I took out a bottle of water from my bag and poured a big mouthful into my stomach, and then walked slowly into this strange town.

As soon as I crossed the archway and stepped on the stone road of the town, I couldn't help but shiver violently. For some reason, just a few steps away, it was as if I had entered another world.

Turned around and looked outside the archway, it was still sunny, with a temperature of 30 degrees and bright sunshine. But in this town, I don't feel the heat at all, and even a faint chill.

Perhaps the layout of the town can have the effect of ventilation and heat reduction. I shook my head to shake off the discomfort in my head and walked forward step by step.

It didn't take long to find that the town had long been abandoned.

Walls and houses that have fallen into disrepair are scattered on both sides of the road, and the ruins of white lime blocks are not concrete houses, but wood and bricks. It looks like it's at least a few hundred years old.

The town is full of weeds and spiders. The strange thing is that this straight stone road in the town has no grass, and there is not even a little moss growing in the cracks of the stone slabs. It was as if someone had sprayed the road with a very strong herbicide.

I walked along this clean path, which did not fit in with the dilapidated and depressed town, until I reached about the middle of the town. Not far away, another path appeared that was almost exactly the same as the path under my feet, and this path was also straight, perpendicular to the path under my feet, as if the road under my feet had been cut off with a knife.
