Chapter 41: Shoes (2nd Update)
Rust, a lot of rust. If it weren't for the fact that there was no black fog here, Xu Yunge would have thought that he had gone astray and walked into a terrifying legend full of wireworms.
The abandoned juice processing factory has been raining for many years, and the iron fence gate of the half-story female dormitory seems to be the same as it. Those tin railings are fragile and brittle, and with a little force, they will drop a lot of crumbs like stick-like rollcakes.
Inside the plant, the situation is even worse.
Rusty steel, resembling a barbed cang. If you are not careful, your clothes will be scraped, just like a group of people in the dark, grabbing your clothes without saying a word.
It is hard to imagine that Dou Xiantong, who may have weak night vision, was able to run wildly while it was dark, and came here without making a mistake or being injured all the way.
This reminded Xu Yunge of a foreign experimental report he had seen during his illness, which proved whether humans were blind or not. To put it simply, in the absence of eyes, the brain directly obtains spatial coordinates and spatial models through unknown special means to carry out movement commands.
This phenomenon, which is partly present in blind people, is generally referred to as the sixth sense.
A slightly more magical expression can be called God's vision, or it can also be called, the eye of the heart.
This can also explain why people are frightened by unexpected things, because people do not collect relevant information, but the unreasonable existence just appears suddenly.
Suppose the earth is a virtual game, and all the scenes, data, and matter are actually fixed.
As long as they can receive data, humans can move according to the modeling in their brains without eyes. The eye is only an organ that collects information, not an organ that is used to carry out movement commands.
As long as all the data is in place, theoretically the reality and future can be controlled, and the past and history of mankind can be restored and deduced.
But this is not the case, because not only do humans not know all their secrets, but they also don't know where they come from, or even what they really are.
Just like Xu Yunge, he actually didn't know what the essence of the curse was. But in his mind, he had an intuition that something had suddenly awakened, and that it was spontaneously collecting data, able to quickly summarize clues, theories, and practical experiences, and then complete the curse deduction.
Perhaps, this is the so-called talent.
"There were rust marks on the walls, and he did scratch a lot of rust as he walked around. The scraping position is in line with the shoulder height, the upper and middle scraping points are in line with the distance from the shoulder to the elbow, he lacks a sense of direction in the dark, and for a while he walks against the wall, the stucco kicked off by the footprints against the wall. ”
"The scratches aren't long, he's not fast, but why did he take off his shoes and go in quietly? I thought he was an ex-husband who shouldn't have gone home, but now it seems that he is like a thief on tiptoe, sneaking up on someone else's turf. ”
Xu Yunge's steps were silent, he was like a fish in water in the dark, his breath changed and his body was hidden, and the power of the curse was more skillful.
"What is he going to steal? Abandoned food processing factories, valuable equipment was dismantled many years ago, leaving behind some rotten iron shelves, to steal ......"
"Wait, he's trying to steal his daughter back?"
"Steal? Why steal and from whom and where? He knew it was dangerous, so he stole it? ”
Xu Yunge felt that his deduction and analysis were a bit of a demonic disease, he remembered that Dou Xiantong was babbling, clearly saying that he wanted to save Dou Mengyao. But the Brain Intelligence Department told himself that Dou Xiantong's entire move was stealing.
If you think like this without limits, will you go crazy?
Xu Yunge felt that something was wrong, but when he got the key clues, he seemed to have an epiphany of many strange things. He immediately broke the reins of this belief, grabbed the reins of his hand, clamped the most sensitive part of the horror legend, and cut into the indescribable horror plot.
Dou Xiantong must have lived here for many years, otherwise he would not have just returned to his hometown and immediately fell into various states and couldn't extricate himself. Maybe he worked here and knew some of the secrets of the factory, and the closure of the factory may not only be a matter of environmental requirements, but may also have other reasons.
The distance between Xu Yunge and Dou Xiantong was shortening, and he saw the man's back. Now that the blow of annihilation is in his hands again, the blessing of escaping death will automatically become invalid, and the first pre-reading of a move will be overshadowed, if he is a minion of some ghost servant, he will easily clean up the stones in his body for him.
Finally, Xu Yunge came to the door, which was a mediocre warehouse big iron door. Standing quietly beside Dou Xiantong, he stretched out his hand and fanned the wind in front of him.
I saw that Dou Xiantong was a little scared, and subconsciously stretched out his hand and slowly grabbed it a few times in the air. I didn't catch anything, so I mustered up the courage to slowly touch the door and put my ear to the door.
There is no doubt that Dou Xiantong can't see Xu Yunge at all in this kind of place where there is an extreme lack of light sources.
Xu Yunge stood beside him to complete the invisibility, and he didn't react at all.
"There is probably no smell of cursing black mist nearby, if there is really any soft-footed shrimp and little ghost in it that is harmful to mortals, I can use it to practice my hands." Xu Yunge's mentality relaxed slightly, staring at Dou Xiantong carelessly, he still needs to digest the recent explosion of information.
What can be said to Lao Li and what cannot be revealed to anyone, he has to think clearly.
Regarding the speculation of Hu Xiaoyu's terrifying urban legend, Xu Yunge was also helpless when he thought about it. There is no way to break the balance, after all, Wang Baozhi can't live in a nightmare forever, and he can't be unpredictable, so he knew that this was a game for a long time. Wang Baozhi will one day muster up the courage to come out of the shadows, and face the cause and effect she once committed, and she is the same.
The matter has come to this point, rather than being pulled by the black hand behind the scenes, it is not bad for Xu Yunge to understand it and suddenly understand. If the other curses hadn't been aware of this, his information and intelligence advantage would undoubtedly have been quite huge after the horror legends of Taiping Town had awakened.
Even if the opponent's hard power is much stronger than him, Xu Yunge will have a certain chance of winning.
There was a soft click of the iron door, interrupting Xu Yunge's thoughts.
Dou Xiantong found a wire out of nowhere, and after tinkering like a mouse for a long time, he finally pried open the old lock. Even so, he didn't take out his mobile phone to illuminate, which was very strange.
I don't know what was once stored in the warehouse, but a strange smell of aged distiller's grains hit me, and the inside of the warehouse was still pitch black. Xu Yunge saw Dou Xiantong kneeling down, prostrate on the ground, groping carefully, starting from the wall on the left hand side, and touching all the way forward.
Xu Yunge's eyes narrowed, this posture, this momentum, this demeanor...... It is clearly the stupidest and most brainless one-sided room maze to crack the walk.
What the hell is Dou Xiantong doing, why did he take off his shoes and come in to do all this?
Xu Yunge knew that there must be something wrong with Taiping Town in the past, but he never thought that an old man would run to the warehouse of an abandoned factory in the middle of the night, take off his shoes and socks and crawl all over the ground.
At first, Xu Yunge was a little irritable, thinking that Dou Xiantong was having a neurotic attack at all, and he was completely wasting time. But calm down and observe carefully, Dou Xiantong's movements made Xu Yunge think of ghost babies. The babies in the brain, the babies in TV commercials, seem to be crawling all over the ground without shoes.
"What's the benefit of doing that? When I was chased to school by a ghost, he crept home and climbed into the house like this? ”
If Dou Xin's only home didn't have an accident, he saw his ex-husband secretly pick the door lock at night, take off his shoes and socks and crawl all the way into the bedroom against the corner of the wall, put his head on the windowsill, and the sleeper turned over the pillow and looked at him. Xu Yunge made up the scene for a few seconds, and felt a little uncomfortable on his body.
But Xu Yunge found that Dou Xiantong was not in a hurry, but quite anxious but too scared.
Like a giant cockroach, he crawled faster and faster in the warehouse until he suddenly bumped into something and touched a manual valve.
He crouched there, eavesdropping quietly for a long time, and then suddenly stood up and unscrewed the valve with all his might. Xu Yunge immediately approached Dou Xiantong, only to see him touch his hands and touch a pair of shoes in a small utility room of less than 5 square meters, and then howled and cried.
Seeing this, Xu Yunge resolutely retreated to the door and pretended to chase after him. first kicked open the door of the warehouse, then illuminated the target with a flashlight, and chased Dou Xiantong in stride.
Dou Xiantong was so frightened that he cried and wanted to escape, but found that his location was extremely awkward, Xu Yunge had blocked the road, as long as he closed the iron door, he didn't want to break his head.
"Mr. Dou, I've been looking for you for a long time, what are you doing here at night?"
Xu Yunge, who was wearing a mask, had already called Lao Li and the others. Dou Xiantong's activities in Taiping Town have been large in time and range, maybe his existence has been exposed, rather than let him be left alone and indirectly controlled by those cursed, it is safer to hand it over to the police for protection.
After all, Dou Xiantong hasn't been home for many years, and he looks decadent and exhausted, and it's hard to say whether his words can be used as evidence. As for these shoes, maybe they should be identified by Dou Xinwei.
If it is her sister Dou Mengyao's, I am afraid that Dou Xiantong will know a lot of the secrets behind it.
If not, his own problems are worth scrutinizing.
In short, it is impossible for people to let go casually. Wang Baozhi's current situation may have a lot to do with the legend of Taiping Town, and the information he provided was very useful to Xu Yunge.
It was almost dawn, and Lao Li and a group of people rushed over. As soon as I saw Xu Yunge, the third watch, didn't sleep in the middle of the night, went out for a stroll and caught an important witness, I didn't know where to start.
"Haha, little brother, it's too hard for you to burst your liver and catch people, even if you have some private funds, don't play like this, right? Your body matters, I see you have an eye that is as red as a rabbit, do you want to put on some eye drops? We are usually prepared for duty, and it is good to use a little bit of it once in a while. ”
"No, I accidentally rubbed it myself, just rest for a day, I'll go and return the car." Xu Yunge saw that Lao Li was coming to pester him again, so he pushed the bicycle and turned around and left.
"What car? You didn't scan the code to get this bike? Lao Li looked at the car borrowed by Xu Yunge and found that there was a label on the bar, with the name of the class and school written on it, and it was also pasted with transparent glue.
Xu Yunge noticed something wrong from the expressions of Lao Li and the others: "What are you doing?" Why are you all tossing around and staying up all night? ”
Not only Lao Li's expression was strange, but even Lao Li's colleagues also had some unnatural stiffness.
"Just yesterday afternoon, it was so dark that it was going to rain, and there was an accident at the school. It was said that a student suddenly went crazy and bit someone, and the students who were bitten had strange wounds, and we tossed around for a long time to finally make some progress in the investigation, and we were dragged over before we had time to talk to you. ”
"It's also troublesome, and it's too coincidental. This case that hit the door, can't we just pat our butts and leave, and let them make a phone call and ask someone else to deal with it, right? ”
Xu Yunge laughed dryly without smiling: "Then you are quite enthusiastic, what happened to the students who bit and were bitten?" ”
"I was stupid, and I kept saying that a ghost had gotten into him and wanted to eat his entrails. The bitten person also began to have a fever and talk nonsense, and I always had hallucinations, I don't know if it was rabies or something, I don't know much about this. Go back and ask Dr. Chu, she should be more knowledgeable than we are. ”
"Well, I'm a little tired from handing this person over to you first. Let's go to school first and return the car, and then go back to rest. ”
