Chapter 1 Fang Lei's Mission
"On September 12, 2015, at one o'clock in the morning, at the intersection of Keji Road and Haining Road." Chang Yan looked at Fang Lei's mobile phone and read the text message from a private number a few times, "What does this mean?" The first time I saw this kind of task, there was no hint at all except the time and place. ”
I looked at my watch, it was already a quarter past eight in the evening, and there were still more than four hours before the time specified in the information, and it would take an hour and a half to drive from Longfeng Community to the mission site at the earliest, that is to say, for Fang Lei, he now only has three hours to prepare, but, with this text message alone, none of us know what to do. I felt a little guilty in my heart, after I came out of the corner café with Fang Lei last night, I didn't go back to the "yellow door" with him for a meeting under the pretext that I was too tired, which also caused Fang Lei to postpone this discussion for a day. Fang Lei has failed five times before, if he doesn't succeed this time, then he will also disappear from this world, if this is the case, I will more or less have to bear some responsibility.
"Haven't there been similar missions before?" I looked at Fang Lei and asked.
"Yes." Pei Yuan on the side suddenly spoke, everyone turned their eyes to her, Pei Yuan pushed his glasses and continued: "When I first joined the 'Yellow Character Gate', an elder received a similar text message, Chang Yan and Chang Miao had not joined at that time, however, Brother Lei should know about it, it was all one o'clock in the morning, and it was all at a crossroads, but ......" Pei Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.
"But what? What happened after that," Chang Miao asked curiously.
"It's just that he was in a vegetative state after that time, and no one knows what happened. Of course, you also know that even if he becomes a vegetative person, as long as the vital signs are still there, the cycle will not stop, and not long ago, he passed away. Fang Lei, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
Everyone didn't speak, thinking that we would have traces of similar tasks before, but I didn't expect that in the end it would be an empty joy.
"Since there is no hint of what kind of reincarnation Brother Lei will go through, we might as well make bold assumptions." Pei Yuan broke the silence, "In short, be prepared." ”
Fang Lei nodded and said, "Actually, since I received this text message, I have already guessed many possibilities. However, since it's an intersection, I think it has something to do with cars. ”
Pei Yuan nodded, agreeing with Fang Lei's statement, but still put forward his opinion: "Is it possible that it is some reincarnation related to the supernatural, after all, we have experienced a lot of such tasks, not to mention that this time it happened at one o'clock in the morning......"
"That's right! We were blinded by a ghost last time, and we almost failed the mission. Chang Yan and Chang Miao echoed, "Afterwards, we went to the Taoist temple to ask for a few runes, and we will bring them to you later." ”
I was shocked, for a long time, I thought that reincarnation was just the constant repetition of things around me, but I didn't expect that there would be some chaotic and strange forces involved. I was a little desperate, and I had no idea what I was capable of successfully navigating several cycles.
"The possibility of such a situation cannot be ruled out either." Fang Lei lit a cigarette and rubbed his left hand back and forth against the scar on his face, "It would be nice to have a look at that notebook at this time." ”
My lips opened slightly, trying to tell me about the small note I had in my hand, but I eventually dismissed the idea. First of all, according to my grasp of the content of that small part of the note, there is no content related to Fang Lei's mission, and secondly, after all, this note is about the life and death of the reincarnation, everyone wants to get it, if you say it now, I am afraid that I will be killed like Fang Zhi'an.
"Ugh." Fang Lei sighed lightly, "The most important thing is that I don't know what the number of reincarnations is this time. If I only reincarnate once, I won't find a way out......"
"Bah, don't say something unlucky." Pei Yuan's eyes were a little moist, and then he took off a hanging ornament from his neck and tied it to Fang Lei's neck, "I have always carried this talisman with me since I was a child, and with its blessing, it will definitely be fine." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chang Yan took out a stack of yellow rune paper from his pocket, "Bring it again, no matter what evil he is, he will definitely not dare to enter your body!" ”
"You're going to be fine." I said to Fang Lei. For the scene in front of me, my heart is mixed. Although this kind of picture similar to life and death is very moving, but when it is really time for you to live and die, will the scene still be so warm? Of course, I would like to believe that what I see now is the true feelings of everyone.
The minutes ticked by, and soon it was eleven o'clock.
"Alright, pack up, it's time for me to go." Fang Lei got up and picked up the coat on the hanger. "Good luck to me."
"We want to go with you." A few of us looked at each other, and then said in unison.
Maybe it's the friendship of getting along day and night, or maybe it's something else, I don't know why other people want to go. However, I wanted to go because I wanted to find out what exactly the task of this reincarnation would be.
At 12:55, the five of us arrived near the intersection of Keji Road and Haining Road. After parking the car, we got out of the car and walked to the mission site, because it was late at night, there were no pedestrians on the street, and there were only a few taxis occasionally passing by on the road. But right in the middle of the crossroads, we saw an old woman in a thick jacket burning paper, and we couldn't see her except for her gray and messy hair.
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." Chang Yan and Chang Miao closed her eyes tightly and muttered, but her hand was on the cross.
Fang Lei swallowed his saliva, clenched the talisman that Pei Yuan gave him before with his right hand, and said, "It's time, it's time for me to go." Then he walked to the old woman who burned the paper.
However, what we didn't expect was that when Fang Lei walked to the center of the crossroads, he and the old woman all disappeared.
"Fang Lei! Fang Lei! Pei Yuan shouted Fang Lei's name loudly, but did not get any response.
"What's going on, why is he gone?" I looked at them and no one answered, but judging by their expressions, no one seemed to know the answer.
......
"Why did Fang Lei say just now that he didn't know how many times he would be reincarnated, isn't this number of times fixed?" Back in the car, looking at the silent crowd, I wanted to ease the atmosphere and solve my doubts by the way, but no one answered.
"Why?" I approached Pei Yuan, however, apart from that indifferent face, she didn't give me an answer.
"Why?" I looked at Chang Yan again, but he didn't answer.
"For .....", "Yes! The number of times is uncertain. Perhaps disgusted by me, Chang Miao interrupted me, and her tone seemed a little impatient.
It can be seen that they are indeed worried about Fang Lei's safety.
After about an hour, the four of us kept an eye on the movement of the intersection, but Fang Lei never appeared.
"Let's go back." Pei Yuan said suddenly, since Fang Lei disappeared, she began to say nothing.
I looked at Chang Yan and Chang Miao, but the two did not react, so I drove the car back to Longfeng Community.
......
"In the early hours of this morning, a serious traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Keji Road and Haining Road, a middle-aged man died on the spot, and the driver who caused the accident has now fled. Due to the short circuit of the intersection camera at that time, it was impossible to collect video information, and it is hoped that witnesses can take the initiative to contact the police and provide clues. ”
