1975 The beginning of the encounter
Takakawa walked down the corridor all the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info That sense of déjà vu guided him. On his left hand side were rooms, on his right hand side were windows, and the end of the corridor could be seen at a glance, but this sense of déjà vu did not allow him to enter any of the rooms here, and he had walked far ahead, but the end that could be seen at a glance had never been reached, and it seemed that it was always so far away. The building is in a strange situation, and Takakawa is not surprised. Without the power of the occult expert, the only way to dispel the mystery here with the limitations of ordinary people is to wait for the mysterious situation to happen. Takakawa is well aware of what he can and can't do now, and he has enough patience to wait for a turnaround.
Of course, he understands that time is of the essence, however, whether it is from the perspective of the "hospital reality" or the overall environment of "doomsday fantasy", time has never been relaxed, which also means that he cannot change the situation of "time is pressing" no matter what. He's used to it, not getting agitated about things he can't change.
There must be a way out, he thought, and his past experience has always proved to him that when it seems like a hopeless, nothing is always the same, and in the midst of unknown changes, opportunities can come at any time. Takakawa wondered what these buildings, this place, including the city outside the complex, came of - he didn't feel that he was in a normal world, and when he looked out, he could see not only the strange figures of the shadows, but also the abandonment and decay of the city, as if there was no one else left here.
Moreover, the place where I am located, including the way I exist now, is no longer material or conscious, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is material.
He can only choose to treat everything he sees as "real".
He didn't know how far he had walked, but for a moment, as if by chance, he felt that he felt something, a change, a change that was completely different from the monotonous walk before, full of malice and danger. It was precisely because everything around him was so weird, ominous, and monotonous, that when this change occurred, it was so conspicuous and intense, and he even felt that all his subsequent actions were attracted by this huge sense of presence.
Takakawa began to run, towards the end of the corridor that he could see but couldn't reach. Just a few seconds later, he suddenly realized that there was a staircase on his left, between two rooms and two places. Normally, it is not strange that there are stairs in the building, but what he sees and feels in front of him is strange, first of all, the most important point is that he was completely unaware or aware of the existence of the stairs before this.
He hadn't even thought about the staircase, and he felt that his mind shouldn't have been so wrong. Even so, when he realized that there was a staircase leading up and down the building, he gave up the idea of reaching the end of the hallway for a while, and couldn't help but verify it.
When Takakawa reached the top of the stairs, he heard the familiar sounds of breathing, biting, and swallowing, the same voices he had heard in the old school toilet - the gray mist demon, the hellhound - and it was also in this place where it was impossible to tell whether it really existed or not. Moreover, it is on the upper floor, and it seems that if you walk up this staircase, you can see it in just a dozen steps.
The thought of Cerberus just above him quickly took over his heart. He decided to go up, and of course, this decision was just as scary, because the scene of being swallowed by this Cerberus was still vivid. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the fire tool at the corner of the staircase, which was a fire axe and fire extinguisher covered by a glass window, and the next moment he moved, his vision seemed to be torn apart, and something of shadow squeezed in from his vision, but before he could see it clearly, it disappeared, and the strange sense of déjà vu disappeared at once—after losing that sense of déjà vu, everything in front of him was nothing but strangeness, even if the sound of the beast upstairs could still be heard.
Just listening to the voice, the voice of the Cerberus seemed to be slightly different from what he had heard before, and it was difficult to tell what the difference was, and Takakawa noticed that his feelings for this Cerberus were also weakening. This is certainly not a good thing, but, whether bad or good, all the anomalies are in the general direction, and they are what he expects to happen - if it is set in stone, it means that he will probably be besieged here forever.
Takakawa was about to lift his feet and walk to the corner upstairs. A tingling sensation sent down his spine from behind him. He couldn't describe what kind of state he was in, it was certainly not panicked, it was not caused by fear, he could only describe it, it was an extremely strong sense of existence, and it would not be appropriate to describe it as "the aura of a strong person, which made the weak tremble a little", because Gao Chuan did not feel that he was afraid of what was behind him - he gradually felt that it was a person.
Gao Chuan's breathing almost stopped, and the sense of presence that permeated his whole body was like an electric current that made his hands and feet numb, and he couldn't turn his head to see who was behind him, as if there was a coercive force preventing him from doing so. Time is also like frozen at this moment, including oneself, everything is frozen, only the "person" behind him can move, therefore, the scene of one's own existence seems to be torn apart - the place where oneself is, the place where the "person" behind him passes, even if it is exactly the same in terms of the scene, it is impossible to say that "I am in the same scene, the same time period, and the same space with this person".
The weirdness of parallel space? No, it can't be explained that way. Although the brain gave an explanation according to logic at the first time, Takakawa immediately rejected this explanation, because the fact that he was "unable to move" was not something that happened synchronously in two parallel spaces, but a phenomenon that had interfered with himself.
Gao Chuan could only turn his eyes as hard as he could, peeking at the "person" who came up from behind from the corner of his eye - the footsteps of the other party became clearer and clearer, and the feeling of caution when walking on the stairs was also so clear. Gao Chuan even felt that the other party was also aware of the Cerberus upstairs, which was why he was so cautious. However, when I feel this "person", the other party does not seem to feel my own existence, as if I am a non-existent "ghost" to this "person".
Who is it? Takakawa could hear his own heartbeat, and a vague thought seemed to jump out of his mind, letting him know who this "person" was, but this thought could not really jump out until he really confirmed it with his eyes.
-- Breathe long, calm.
-- Cautiously lightened his pace.
――It seems that he has come to a place close behind him, and if he takes a step forward, he will overlap with himself.
-- The "man" stopped here again, as if feeling, looking at the monster upstairs.
-- He began to search. His gaze also fell on the fire tool around the corner.
-- Dogs barking again from upstairs.
-- The smell of cigarettes came from the "person" behind him. He was smoking, as if he was going to make up his mind, and he was smoking hard.
Just when Gao Chuan felt it carefully, a shaking figure appeared in the corner of his eye, he felt that it was that "person", and he wanted to see it more clearly, but the process of "he walked by" seemed to disappear in an instant. Before he passed by, he had already arrived in front of him, Gao Chuan was shocked, his eyes instantly moved forward, and he saw the back of the young man.
The boy in the school uniform, smoking a cigarette, but his back did not have the slightest sense of gangsterism, his steps were so firm and light, like a hunting leopard with a pace different from its own weight, slowly approaching the prey, waiting for the moment to sprint forward. Gao Chuan has already recognized it, even if he didn't really see the other party's face, but this back, this breath, and this feeling are all so familiar, as if he saw himself in the mirror - that is also Gao Chuan, Gao Chuan in his youth, to be precise, exactly the same age as him at this time.
Just a high school student.
However, this teenager Gao Chuan is like the "young Gao Chuan" he knows, and he should not exist with himself at the same time. Although Takakawa didn't know why he saw him here, he had a vague intuition: in fact, the "young Takakawa" was not here, and the existence in front of him was not so much "Takakawa" as "Takakawa's phantom". If you believe this intuition, then you can be sure that this is another ghost of "Jiang".
Takakawa initially tried to stop him, but his instincts once again prevented him from doing so. He just watched the back of the young Takakawa, watched him walk up the stairs, took off his coat and wrapped it around his elbows, and in a few strokes smashed the glass of the fire cabinet, and took the fire axe out of it—the sense of déjà vu that had once disappeared came like a tide again, and Takakawa's body trembled, and he felt that his brain was being absorbed by some invisible and insubstantial force.
What is the scene you see?
Gao Chuan could only follow the back of the young Gao Chuan and walk up the next floor. Soon, the hallway was in front of you, and if you didn't step out of the stairs, your view would be blocked by the walls on both sides, and you wouldn't be able to see where the hellhound was. Takakawa couldn't see it, he could only feel that it wasn't just the young Takakawa who was trying to hunt, the hellhound was also hunting - both sides knew each other's existence, but the young Takakawa was so weak compared to the hellhound, the moment he fought head-to-head, his body would be torn apart by the sharp teeth of the hellhound, not to mention that this hellhound had some other kind of mystery.
So, what will the young Takakawa do? If this is a replay of a scene from the past, the beginning of the young Takakawa's entry into the "mystery", then, how exactly did he use his flesh and blood to fight against this gray mist demon? At least, it is difficult for Gao Chuan to come up with a good way to do it himself, and he doesn't feel that the little idea he came up with really has much chance of success, in the final analysis, when he was born, he was already a "prosthetic Gao Chuan", and naturally there is no time when "only ordinary people have the strength".
Prosthetic Takakawa is from "strong" to "stronger", however, the young Takakawa is from "weak" to "very strong", and the level crossed by the two is not the same - even after strengthening the prosthetic body step by step, and finally obtaining the magic pattern, the prosthetic Takakawa's self-confidence is no weaker than that of the young Takakawa, and everyone around him also thinks so, and at the same time, there is no strong idea of "competing", but, if you want to put the facts, Prosthetic Takakawa can't say how strong the young Takakawa is, After a few face-to-face shots, I didn't feel like I was able to get a complete victory.
- So, what would you do?
At the same time as the question began, the teenager Takakawa made his choice: he threw the coat he had taken off directly into the hallway. I only felt a "whew", as if the air was torn, but the school uniform jacket was not torn, but bulged to the left like something invisible, and flew into the depths of the corridor in the blink of an eye.
Takakawa's breathing paused, and he was sure that he was not mistaken: he really didn't see the monster, or rather, the hellhound was invisible.
However, the back of the young man Gao Chuan did not even hesitate at all, grabbed the fire axe and jumped up, lowered his body, and assumed a vigilant posture towards the left side of the corridor. Takakawa knew that even though the figure was so engrossed in staring at the enemy's location, in his eyes, there must not be the body of the Cerberus at all, except for the school uniform. What he can't see, he can't see either.
Even so, Gao Chuan also knew that the young Gao Chuan did not have any fear at this moment. He saw him spit out his cigarette butt and shout something, he couldn't hear it clearly, but he could still feel his fighting spirit. His posture is as if he instinctively knows what to do.
Gao Chuan couldn't go up, he could only see the figure of the young Gao Chuan, and he could only smell a stronger smell in the air. It was the smell of the Grey Mist Demon, the smell of battle, the smell of life and death. The air seemed to be on fire under the stimulus of this smell.
The dog's barking intensified, the air flow became rapid, and Takakawa felt that the hellhound was pounced. The young Takakawa swung his axe, but nothing hit, and the next moment, he rolled in the hallway, as if he knew which direction the invisible Cerberus was coming from, and where he rolled, the claw marks of the Cerberus flipped the cement up. When the young Takakawa reluctantly straightened his posture again, Takakawa felt that the hellhound was rushing up again, and the young Takakawa could only roll again, stabbing the axe at the same time, and this time, the two actually collided.
The force of the impact was so ferocious, and the young Gao Chuan did not lose his balance, but only took a few steps back, and then regained his footing-Gao Chuan couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart: This is impossible!
Normal people's physical fitness is absolutely unable to unload excess strength in such a timely and just right amount of collision at this level, and injury is inevitable.
From the experience of a mysterious expert, the scene in front of him seems a little ridiculous.
However, precisely because it is absurd, it is normal-the next moment, Takakawa realized this, "Jiang" is here, it is watching the young Takakawa.
So—
This is the first encounter between "Young Takakawa" and "Jiang"?
No, if you guess more thoroughly, assuming that the effect of the "witch VV trap" is sufficient, then this scene in front of you is not the first time that "Jiang" really appeared in a posture that can be observed by "Gao Chuan"? In other words, this is the beginning of all the entanglements between "Takakawa" and "E".
