Consciousness gradually returned, and the boy slowly got up from the bed and shook his head to dispel the remaining sleepiness. He had a very strange dream. It seems to have lasted for a long time, but now only vague, abstract information can be recalled.

No matter what he thought, it seemed to be just some meaningless fragment of memory. The teenager turned off the noisy alarm clock and started a new day.

Pushing open the door, a rich aroma came to my nose. A beautiful figure shuttles back and forth between the dining room and the kitchen. Another girl can be seen preparing breakfast. The boy symbolically greeted her, after a simple wash. threw himself on the sofa casually, looking like he was lazy and had no cure for the advanced stage of cancer. I don't know, I thought he had low blood pressure when he got up......

The young man's name is Ye Yuxuan, and the one who is wearing an apron on the side and concentrating on cooking pies is his sister Ye Lan. The two grew up in an orphanage, until a middle-aged man adopted them when Ye Yuxuan was ten years old. Ye Lan, who was six years older than Ye Yuxuan and had no blood relationship, became her sister.

The man spent three months teaching them the basics of life and skills before leaving. Left this house and a bank card, and call some living expenses at six o'clock in the morning on the first of every month. Accurate as a machine. It's not a lot of money, but it's enough to live on.

Since then, he and his sister have lived a life of dependence. In order to take care of Ye Yuxuan, Ye Lan dropped out of school after graduating from high school and stayed at home, while Ye Yuxuan was enjoying the tranquility of the last few days of summer vacation after the college entrance examination......

He was actually quite ashamed that his sister had to bear so much pressure alone. But Ye Lan is like this, and always treats her younger brother as a child. Whenever Ye Yuxuan tried to help with some housework, he would always be pushed away by his sister for various reasons. In fact, every time he made a mess of things......

But occasionally, when Ye Lan couldn't pull away, he would also ask Ye Yuxuan to do some simple things, such as....

"Yezi, come here." Now like this.......

"Sister, can you not mention the nickname of the pit dad from yesterday...."Ye Yuxuan looked at the old sister with a very resentful look, I don't know, I'm afraid I think she owes him money..... As for how this nickname came about, we won't go into further delves into this topic.

"Hmph, don't even think about it, I'll call you Ye Zi in the future!"

Ye Yuxuan: "........"

Do you think he owes it? Or do you owe it? Or do you owe it..... Seeing that the old lady rarely showed such a happy smile, Ye Yuxuan decided to let her go.

"Yezi, there is no soy sauce at home, go outside to bottle soy sauce and come back." Ye Lan smiled and handed Ye Yuxuan a banknote and a freshly baked pie.

Ye Yuxuan shrugged noncommittally, although he was a little reluctant, he still went out with the pie and the money.

Autumn is coming soon, and the morning sun is shining on your body, stretching your waist, and feeling indescribably comfortable. Even the cats lay on the concrete floor, lazily basking in the sun.

Ye Yuxuan thought maliciously, what would happen if he sneaked up next to it and slapped it while it was enjoying it with its eyes closed.....

Eventually, under the condemnation of his conscience, he gave up the idea. He walked south along the community garden. Along the way, I didn't see anything unusual.

But there was one thing that kept him on his mind. That is, is the sun a little too soft. Even if it's still two hours before noon, if you look at it by the past, it should be the time when the sun is shining. Today happens to be a cloudless day, and the bright sun is dyeing the world golden. It would be true to say that the sunlight reflected back is not so strong. But now when he stares directly at the sun, it's not dazzling, which is a bit too much, right?

It feels like wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Ye Yuxuan didn't think about it so much, and walked to the door of the convenience store after dividing five by two. only to find that the store has been transferred.

Ye Yuxuan: "the chicken...... It's really bad luck for me to catch up. Forget it, let's go to the nearby supermarket to make do. ”

However, even the nearest supermarket would have to go two blocks to get the right way. And Ye Yuxuan is such an upright person? Obviously—no, so he silently walked to the back door of the community, which would have saved a lot of trouble if he had taken a shortcut from this side.

Turn into the street from the back door, and the traffic on the road is constantly coming, and there are far fewer pedestrians in comparison. People seem to prefer to sit in their rooms or in their cars blowing the air conditioner rather than crawl out early in the morning to bask in the sun.

As far as the eye can see, there are only a few dozen people on the entire street. Shops on the street are also using various methods to isolate the inside of the store from the outside air, as if the scorching air outside can burn people alive.

In this regard, Ye Yuxuan felt a little strange. He just felt that the sun was very comfortable today.

He continued down the main street for about 20 steps, then turned right into a deep alley. This alley is rarely passed by pedestrians, but if you walk out of it, it is right across from the supermarket. Compared to the outside, it is even more deserted, and there is not a single pedestrian.

He walked deeper into the alley, the noise of the street fading away until it was gone. The alley in front of you curves forward in a slight arc, making it impossible to see the end.

The tattered concrete walls on both sides are plastered with all sorts of psoriasis; Dark green moss crawled through every gap in the wall of the nearby residential building; Occasionally, on a telephone pole, you can see something like a missing person notice. The surroundings were very quiet, and if there was a fallen leaf nearby, Ye Yuxuan believed that he could hear it clearly.

This is a corner of the old town that is about to be demolished, and most of the old buildings are from the 80s and 90s of the last century. The vast majority of residents have moved out, and only a few nail households have refused to relocate. So it's unusually deserted, so quiet that it feels like Silent Hill.

After walking a few dozen steps inside, Ye Yuxuan began to notice that something was wrong. It stands to reason that we should have reached the exit by now. And the telephone pole next to it should have been walked over just now!

The surroundings became darker, and a strong sense of disobedience came to my heart. But I couldn't find out where the violation was. He walked on for a few minutes. I finally realized the reason, and I couldn't find the source because he was in the source, and the sense of disobedience was coming from all directions, and everything was wrong here!

When Ye Yuxuan realized all this, a strong sense of depression came from all directions. Then he was in a trance, and when he woke up again, he found that there was a gray-black wall in front of him. And he himself has lost his way......
