Luo Zhen's heart was pounding, he knew that the seemingly innocent child in front of him was not so simple.

He stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked at the boy motionlessly.

"Uncle, can you help me up?"

The little boy asked again, a smile looming on his face.

"Who are you?" Luo Zhen suppressed his nervousness and asked calmly.

"Giggles," the little boy laughed profusely, "my name is Nothing, uncle." ”

“… Wu... Source? Luo Zhen searched in his mind, trying to recall whether there were any related names in the case.

The little boy walked slowly towards him, "Do you think it's fun here?" ”

Luo Zhen sighed slightly, "This is a terrible place, why are you here?" ”

"I was born here!" The little boy replied with a smile.

That baby in the white crevice!

While shocked, Luo Zhen couldn't help but take two steps back.

"You... You're not human. He said with some trembling.

The little boy was noncommittal.

"It's noisy!" The little boy said and pointed to the corridor at the other end.

Luo Zhen looked in the direction the little boy pointed, and the light and shadow swayed at the end of the empty corridor, as if someone was there.

The whine grew louder and louder.

"You..." When Luo Zhen looked back at the little boy again, he found that there was nothing in front of him.

Rao had already done enough psychological construction, Luo Zhen's heart was still pounding uncontrollably in his chest, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat a little stiffly.

After hesitating, Luo Zhen still walked towards the other end of the corridor.

There were still many caves on both sides of the corridor on this side, and the rancid smell emitted was getting stronger and stronger, and Luo Zhen couldn't help but cover his nose.

Finally, he came to a cave at the end of the corridor.

"Woo woo woo ..."The cry was already clear.

An old man with gray hair was crying with his back to Luo Zhen, he was squatting in a corner of the cave, seemingly unaware of anyone at the entrance of the cave.

"Old man?" Luo Zhen tried to call him.

The crying stopped abruptly, the old man slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes for a long time, and suddenly the whole person threw himself at Luo Zhen and cried, "Help! Get me out, help, help! ”

Luo Zhen was startled by him, took half a step back, and when the old man reached the entrance of the cave, the whole person slammed back as if he had hit the glass, and then fell to the ground and cried again.

"Old man, are you alright?" Luo Zhen hurriedly asked.

"Who do you call the old man?" The old man cried and said, "You're only old, I'm only 23 years old, I'm still a star!" ”

Luo Zhen chuckled in his heart.

"You... You wouldn't be Brutus, would you? ”

The old man jerked his head up, "You know me?" Did the company send you to me, you guys are too slow, how long has it been? ”

Luo Zhen's face was ugly, the old man in front of him turned out to be Brutus, who had been missing for more than two months, the young and handsome rock singer?

How could he be so old?

"Uncle, how is it, this place is indeed fun, isn't it?" Once again, without warning, the little boy appeared.

Luo Zhen turned around suddenly, "You... What the hell are you? ”

Brutus didn't seem to be able to see the little boy, and he began to babble on something.

The little boy looked at Luo Zhen, "I said, I have no chance." ”

"Did you take my son and father-in-law? You're the one who bewitched those kids, right? Where did you hide them? Luo Zhen's emotions were a little out of control, and his voice trembled slightly.

The boy giggled, "Don't you think those old people are moths, what are you looking for them?" ”

"Shut up!" Luo Zhen suddenly roared, "What do you know, the old man is not a moth!" If there is no old man's hole, if it is not for them to leave the hope of life to future generations, where will there be any youth and beauty, it will only be eternal despair! ”

The little boy seemed to be stunned, he looked straight at Luo Zhen, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"You let them go, what's coming at me!" Luo Zhen slowed down his tone slightly.

"Xiao Luo!"

Luo Zhen heard a familiar voice, in the cave next to Brutus, an old man suddenly appeared out of thin air, who was that kind face not the old father-in-law?!

Luo Zhen stepped forward excitedly and grabbed his old father-in-law's hand.

"Dad, I've finally found you!" Tears began to bloom in Luo Zhen's eyes, "What about Luo Zhiqi?" ”

"I don't know! He brought me here and left, why, Kiki didn't come home? The old father-in-law replied.

"Let's get out of here first!"

Luo Zhen picked up his father-in-law and walked forward, but he heard Brutus behind him shouting hoarsely: "Hey, take me with you, don't go!" His hands were clapped against the invisible glass at the entrance of the cave, his face full of despair.

As soon as Luo Zhen wanted to turn around, the little boy's voice appeared in his ears, "Don't be too greedy." ”

He looked at his emaciated old father-in-law, gritted his teeth and said to Brutus, "I'll have someone come back to save you!" ”

Ignoring the protest behind him, Luo Zhen helped his old father-in-law and walked towards the cave hall.

The two of them successfully reached the steep slope under the cave hall, and the climbing rope was still hanging intact on the wall, swaying with the wind.

"It's too high for me to climb up!" The old father-in-law looked at the three-meter steep slope and sighed.

"It's okay, I'll tie the rope around your waist and hips, and pull you up." Luo Zhen said and began to operate, and after the preparation was completed, he asked the old father-in-law to sit down, and his hands began to work hard.

The old father-in-law began to rise slowly, Luo Zhen was born as a police officer after all, so he naturally had some strength, and the old father-in-law was also old and thin, so he didn't feel laborious at first.

But pulling and pulling, Luo Zhen felt a little out of breath, his arms began to tremble, his legs were sore, and even began to ring in his ears, as if he was pulling a mountain.

There's no reason why I'm so vain!

"Ahh Xiao Luo, you... How did you? ”

Luo Zhen heard the exclamation of the old father-in-law, he looked into the air, only to see the old father-in-law pointing at him, his face full of shock. He was a little confused, "Dad, how..."

He only said two words and couldn't say any more, whose old and hoarse voice was it? How did it come out of my own throat?

Before he could recover from the shock, he saw his arms again, the blue veins curled up like earthworms on the dried flesh, and the skin was loose and aging, as if it would flutter when the wind blew.

This is clearly the hands of two old men, how can it grow on his body?

Luo Zhen began to feel that his eyes were shining, he looked at his old father-in-law, gritted his teeth and insisted on exerting his strength.

These may be hallucinations, don't be affected, save people first.

"He's been thrown in, he deserves to die in the hole, and if you want to pull him out, you have to swap him!"

The little boy's voice suddenly appeared again. Luo Zhen turned his head and found him standing at the entrance of the corridor, looking at himself with interest.

"Xiao Luo, let me go, I'm not leaving!" The old father-in-law began to cry, "I'm already old, it's useless to go out, you're still young, I can't live without you at home!" ”

Luo Zhen gritted his loose teeth, but he refused to let go.

"I'm really not leaving," cried the old father-in-law, "my old bones are useless, what's the point of going out?" Xiao Luo, let me down! ”

"It's useful..."Luo Zhen has begun to see things clearly, but he still struggles to say, "You are more important than anything else, I will send you out even if I die!" ”

After saying this, he felt that the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and he used the last bit of strength to tie the rope to his waist, and the whole person collapsed in vain, but he struggled to look at the old father-in-law for the last time, and muttered in his mouth, "You are my treasure." ”

Suddenly it was dark.

"Aren't you afraid of getting old?" The little boy's voice sounded in his ears, "The old man is so weak and incompetent, he can't do anything, how can he be a treasure?" ”

"Everyone will be old, youth cannot last forever, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal physiological processes, old age is an integral part of life, is the precipitation of time, it is of course a treasure."

Hahaha

The little boy burst out laughing, but there was a hint of desolation in the laughter.

In an instant, Luo Zhen suddenly understood the meaning of that song.

"I feel like a moth,

As I wander among the treasures of my collection.

I left this rotting prison,

In the darkness, they gnaw on the fruit that breeds themselves.

I don't want to linger in the rotten silence,

Because I'm going to find my eternal youth..."

The moths in this song are not talking about the elderly, but referring to the young people who leave the old man alone in the hole, these old people who can exchange hope for survival, aren't they treasures? Isn't the young man who has enjoyed the treasure and left the old man alone to face death a moth?

Luo Zhen sighed, those young people who admired this song did not understand its true meaning, it was really ridiculous and lamentable.

"My name is Nothing." The little boy suddenly said, "Because I have no fate with this world for a long time." ”

As it spoke, it stretched out its hand towards Luo Zhen.

"I've long since rotted in this hole, no one remembers me, I'm lonely, I'm not reconciled. I hate time, I hate the world that abandons me. ”

Luo Zhen shook his head, "The world has not abandoned you, have you forgotten, it was you who took the initiative to give up your life, keep your despair for yourself, and leave hope for your children and grandchildren." I know, and I remember it too! ”

Luo Zhen's hand held the little boy for some reason, and for a moment he felt a warm force slowly penetrate his body, and he suddenly felt extremely calm. The little boy's body slowly grows into the appearance of a young man, then slowly ages again, and finally becomes an old man.

"Since you regard me as a treasure, I will give you a treasure." The old man said, "For me, time is a treasure, and I give it to you." From then on, you went to live the life I longed for instead of me, I had thousands of ideals, and I wanted to be all kinds of people. I hope you can make good use of the years I wasted, the time I haven't been able to use. ”

…

When Luo Zhen woke up, he was lying at the mouth of the tunnel, it was completely dark, and his old father-in-law was guarding his side.

"You're finally awake," the old father-in-law cried with joy, "it's okay, we're out, and the monster is gone!" ”

Luo Zhen wiped the tears from his old father-in-law's face and took out his mobile phone, only to find that there were more than a dozen missed calls, all of which were from Lao Zhuang and Lao Li.

"Let's go back first, Dad," Luo Zhen stood up, picked up his old father and walked slowly towards the car parked outside.

He has now understood everything.

The so-called lack of fate is actually the incarnation of the souls of these abandoned old people in the old man's cave, they were already asleep, but they were alarmed by the young people who came to disturb them and had distorted values.

Gradually, they begin to become resentful, lonely, and turn into a powerful resentful spirit that calls itself unwilling.

Although the souls of countless old people are incarnated, their hearts are like babies and children who yearn for love, and their long-term loneliness makes them hate time and yearn for care and attention.

That's why no chance is what a child looks like.

There is no chance to use that song with resentment to erode the spirit of young people and finally deprive them of their lives.

In order to increase its strength, it is necessary to let more elderly people come to the old man's cave to die, and in order to achieve this goal, it uses the Internet to control children to take the elderly to the old man's cave.

It's just that what is the treasure that I didn't have the chance to give to myself in the end?
