Chapter 18: The Kraken (2)
At this time, the dishes on their table were served, and a whole pot of boiled fish looked delicious.
Hua Zhu came back to his senses and picked up his chopsticks, and asked while picking up the fish, "Is it rare for ghosts to hit the wall in the city?" ”
Xie Tianqing held the chopsticks with his left hand, which was quite flexible: "There is a lot of yang energy in the city, and there are many people. Ghost hitting the wall is generally in the mountains and forests, where the magnetic field itself is affected by the soul, plus there are very few people on the mountain, so the chance of falling into this kind of magic is much greater. ”
"But what does this have to do with fog?"
"Foggy weather ghosts like to come out and move." Xie Tianqing sandwiched Hua Candle's favorite fish bubble into his bowl, "How does this fish taste?" ”
Hua Zhu nodded with satisfaction: "It's better than takeout." ”
Xie Tianqing smiled: "This store also has takeout." ”
But next time, if Hua Zhu is still clamoring for fish, he can order this. The taste is really good, that's why so many people queue up at the door.
It's just a little farther away......
Soon, they ran out of fish. When I walked out of the mall, it was only about seven o'clock in the evening, and the fog had not dispersed.
They need to walk across a bridge to get home, and if they usually drive, it only takes a few minutes to cross this road without traffic jams, but it takes a long time to walk.
And the supermarket is near their neighborhood.
Hua Zhu walked inside, looked at the river under the bridge, turned back to Xie Tianqing and said, "Do you think we don't look like the characters in the story that the person just said?" ”
Xie Tianqing smiled: "It's better not to be like this." ”
Hua Zhu patted his chest: "It's okay!" I'll protect you! ”
Xie Tianqing laughed twice and did not speak.
As they strolled along the bridge, the fog obscuring the road ahead and behind them, and all they could see was cars moving back and forth in the lane next to them.
And perhaps because of the strong wind on the bridge in winter, no one wants to brave the cold wind to wander around on the bridge.
The flower candle was originally very afraid of the cold, but after eating enough, it didn't feel so cold.
The further they went, the fewer cars came and went, and they didn't stop until the last car drove past them into the fog.
Hua Zhu took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, the time was stuck at seven o'clock, but now they definitely felt more than seven o'clock.
They walked on the bridge for at least half an hour.
The bridge that usually takes ten minutes to walk on now takes half an hour?
Hua Zhu grabbed Xie Tianqing's arm: "No......"
Xie Tianqing sighed: "Why is your mouth like it's open?" ”
Hua Candle also looked very aggrieved: "I'm just talking about ...... casually"
But just like Xie Tianqing said before, even if they don't take the initiative to cause trouble now, trouble will take the initiative to come to them.
But this kind of trick is quite easy for them to solve, but the question is, why does this kind of ghost wall appear in the city?
They can easily hack and get out, but what if someone breaks in by mistake?
Xie Tianqing looked around, wondering what was the thing that made this ghost hit the wall, as long as he subdued it, this foggy ghost hit the wall would disappear with it.
"The sky is clear, there are footsteps." Hua Zhu heard the sound of soft footsteps not far in front of them, not running, but walking.
Xie Tianqing became vigilant and protected the flower candle behind him, although he now had one hand left to use, he still subconsciously wanted to protect the flower candle.
After experiencing the first two incidents, Hua Candle is a lot bolder. Besides, now that Xie Tianqing is injured, he can't let him be injured because of himself anymore.
Hua Zhu squinted at Xie Tianqing, and quietly grabbed his arm, ready to go if there was any danger next......
But walking towards them was indeed a very familiar face.
When the man saw him, he immediately ran to them, as if he had seen a relative, and ran to them and wailed.
Hua Candle was startled by him, and almost scratched him, but was stopped by Xie Tianqing.
The boy who ran towards them was the guy with the DV I saw in that haunted house the other day. It's so good that I can't die and I ran into it again.
I really don't know if he should say that he was lucky or bad. Xie Tianqing thought so in his heart, and looked at him with a slight frown.
Zhan Jian ran in front of them and stopped panting, with an expression that was about to cry: "Finally see a living person!" That's great! ”
Hua Zhu looked at him with a complicated expression: "Do you think it's a joy for us to be trapped here together?" ”
Zhan Jian laughed embarrassedly twice and scratched his head: "I didn't mean that either." I didn't expect to meet you here, we really have fate. ”
"It's better not to have this kind of fate. How did you end up here? Xie Tianqing asked.
"Haven't you heard of an urban legend that's been very popular lately?" Zhan Jian Dao.
Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"That is to say, in the weather of heavy fog in the city, if you walk on this bridge, you will be swept into a different dimension where you can't get out, if you have the opportunity to enter this alien dimension, you can find the siren who created this space, make a wish to him, and he will fulfill your wish."
Hua Zhu looked at Xie Tianqing: "Plug ...... Ren? What is it? ”
Xie Tianqing sighed: "It is a kraken in European myths and legends that attracts the crew to run aground at sea with their singing. "This kind of urban legend that combines East and West is very popular with young people.
Hua Zhu nodded knowingly, and then looked at Zhanjian in disbelief: "You didn't mean to try this urban legend, did you?" ”
Zhanjian hurriedly waved his hand: "Of course not!" Although I belong to the Supernatural Research Society, this kind of urban legend is very unreliable when I hear it, isn't it? The siren is a character in European mythology, but this legendary ghost hitting the wall is within the scope of Eastern metaphysics, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, how can it be true...... That's right, that's what I thought at the time. ”
"And you crashed into it unintentionally?" Flower Candle asked again.
Zhan Jian sighed: "Here's the thing. The reason this urban legend has become popular lately is because many people say they have actually come across it. As you can see, there has been a lot of foggy weather lately. And wasn't I still in that haunted house with two girls? They came out of the haunted house in a bit of a mess, I thought they were scared, and I kept comforting them. But they were still a little strange, and then they heard about this urban legend and always wanted to try it. I told them it was supposed to be fake, but I don't know why, they just wanted to come. Just a day ago, they had disappeared, very completely. ”
Xie Tianqing pondered for a moment and said, "Do you suspect that they are trapped here and can't get out?" ”
"Hmm." Zhan Jian nodded vigorously, "I didn't believe it, but I and the rest of my classmates have looked for a lot of places where they might go. We also found the police and checked the surveillance, and the last place where they appeared was the surveillance footage before going up the bridge, and the surveillance on the bridge did not capture them, nor did the surveillance on the bridge. ”
Zhanjian subconsciously glanced at the bridge: "Police...... It is suspected that they may have committed suicide by jumping into the river...... But I don't believe it, why would a good person commit suicide? ”
"Maybe it's because of the influence of that haunted house, that's why I ......," Hua Candle stopped abruptly halfway through her words.
Zhanjian looked puzzled: "What? What happened to that haunted house? It can't really be anything strange, right? ”
Hua Candle snorted impatiently: "Why are you asking so much, it's useless to tell you, it's better to think about how to find the two missing girls." ”
"Right...... That's what I'm here for. I saw that it was also foggy today, so I wanted to try my luck on the bridge, and I didn't know if I was lucky or bad, and I found that I couldn't get out halfway through. Zhan Jian smiled wryly.
Hua Zhu glanced at his eyebrows and asked, "What's your name?" Hand show me. ”
"My name is Zhanjian, the exhibition of spreading wings and soaring, and the seeing of what I see." Zhan Jian stretched out two hands, "Do you look at palmistry?" ”
Hua Zhu shook his head: "No." But ......" When he got the fate chart, Si Ming Xingjun taught him how to look at the fate line of mortals, although it was only brief.
"How? See what? Zhan Jian asked nervously.
Xie Tianqing, who was standing beside Hua Candle, raised his eyebrows, as if he thought it was very interesting.
"You have a bad year, there is black gas between your eyebrows, and your luck is very low." Hua Zhu raised his head, "To be honest, are you often pressed by ghosts in the second half of the year?" Do you always feel like someone is following you when you walk at night? ”
Zhanjian's face turned pale, and he nodded in a panic: "Yes, yes, yes!" How do you know? I'm not going to be okay, am I? ”
"No, it won't. You are very hard, even if there is an accident, you can live to be 80 years old, if there is no accident, you will die at the age of 96. It's just that the luck is relatively low this year, and whoever makes you like to go to strange places, it's okay to go less. "Hua Candle's posture of speaking is really a bit like a fortune teller under the overpass.
Xie Tianqing smiled and whispered beside Hua Candle: "Yes, it's very powerful." There is progress. The fish was not eaten in vain. ”
The candle slanted to him: "There are only two fires left in him, and a fool can guess it." But looking at lifespan, I've learned it from Si Ming Xingjun. ”
Zhanjian was still a little happy to hear his lifespan, looked at his hands, and also heard their conversation: "Fire? What fire? ”
"Don't you listen to the old people? A man has three fires, one on his head, one on his left shoulder, and one on his right shoulder. With these three fire demons, the devil and the demon monster did not dare to approach. You're left with this one on your head now, and it's not unusual that you can run into ghosts everywhere. ”
"......" Zhanjian seemed to be frightened, opening his mouth to say something but not knowing how to say it.
Obviously, the three of them were trapped in the ghost wall, but the atmosphere seemed to be quite relaxed.
