Chapter 40: Another World
"No, no matter what, this is my house, you can't just go in, you have to get my permission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Although the two insisted on forcibly breaking in, they were still vetoed by the stubborn He Wei, blocked them from the door, and did not allow them to move without permission.
The old man really couldn't stand it, and in desperation, he had to agree: "Okay, then you can do it, we won't go in." ”
And the summer next to him also nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not go in, you don't have to be so nervous." ”
"No, you better come in, except for the old man, you are the only one who can come in." He Wei smiled at Xia Se, stretched out his hand and pulled her wrist to his side, and then said, "Come in with me." ”
He Wei turned his gaze to the old man again and said, "You just wait outside, I'll just go in with Xia." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door, and at the same time pulled the unresponsive Summer into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he pressed Summer against the wall, leaned in front of her face, and said, "You tell me honestly, what kind of bad idea are you guys playing?" Sister Xiaoxia, I believe you will talk to you alone, if you don't tell me the truth, I will hate you for the rest of my life. ”
Summer was suddenly startled by He Wei's extremely exaggerated behavior, and her whole body kept shrinking inward, putting on a pitiful look, and muttered, "Woo woo...... What are you doing here, you won't think anything about being so close to me. ”
He Wei was stunned for a moment, retracted his hand again, and quickly explained: "Hey, you think too much, I really want to ask you about this, I hope you answer me truthfully, otherwise we will not be good friends." ”
"I really can't say it, at least not now, you don't want to push me." Summer pushed him away hard, and then turned back and said, "Look at it, you don't have anyone in your family, don't you think it's strange yourself?" ”
He Wei turned around and found that the living room was quiet, and the other two bedrooms were also silent, as if there was really no one in the whole family.
He Wei looked at the summer in front of him and asked, "I think it's strange, but why don't you think it's strange?" ”
"What do you mean, don't you believe me?" Summer's expression became a little angry, and her eyebrows were about to burn.
"I didn't mean to disbelieve you." He Wei stepped forward and continued: "You see, for so long, you haven't told me why you want to go back home with me from beginning to end, what are your intentions, not only me, but everyone will doubt. ”
Summer suddenly stopped talking, just lowered her head, silently walked to the sofa, and suddenly sat down.
"Why don't you speak?" He Wei stepped forward and continued to ask.
Summer's face suddenly changed greatly, the wrinkles on his head bulged, and he squinted at He Wei and scolded in an extremely angry tone: "Get out!" ”
Such a sudden insult startled He Wei on the side, he didn't even realize it, and he didn't expect Xia Xia to say such three words.
"What? Were you just scolding me? He Wei asked suspiciously.
At this time, Summer's face seemed even more inflammatory, and he rubbed up like a jackal from the sofa, pointed at He Wei's chest and roared loudly again: "Are you deaf?" Didn't you hear me when I told you to get out? ”
He Wei felt that this voice was a little familiar for the first time, as if he had heard such a familiar insult before, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally understood that the girl in front of him was not summer at all.
He Wei's expression changed and said, "How could it be you?" I never dreamed of that, and how could you be with that old man? ”
"Get out!"
The same three words stabbed from his ear again, and when He Wei saw the situation, he immediately ran out of the door. At the same time, the white-haired old man outside also happened to rush in, and the two collided with each other, and both rolled on their sides to the ground at the same time.
He Wei raised his head desperately and said to the old man: "You didn't open your eyes when you walked, isn't it neurotic?" ”
"Boy, it's you who walk by yourself without opening your eyes, no wonder me." The white-haired old man got up from the ground, looked like he didn't seem to have fallen seriously, looked down at He Wei on the ground, and said: "I'm going to tell you one thing now, whether you listen or not, I have to tell you, you'd better be fully prepared." ”
He Wei covered his painful knees, supported the ground with his hands, slowly got up, and said to the old man: "You don't have to tell me, I already understand everything, I'm leaving, don't come to me." ”
"Oh? Are you sure you know it all? Don't you want to know if you're dead or not, if you're alive or not, don't you want to know where your family has gone? The white-haired old man laughed more and more merrily, laughing so hard that his teeth almost fell to the ground.
He Wei turned around and walked down the stairs, didn't look at the white-haired old man at all, and walked to the mouth of the ladder before turning back and saying to the old man: "I don't want to know, whether I am dead or alive, it has nothing to do with you at all, and what I hate most is people like you, pretending to be a ghost all day long, who are you scaring about?" I've been putting up with you for a long time, you know? ”
The white-haired old man saw that He Wei was walking quickly, and he was a little anxious, so he hurriedly accelerated and followed, and said loudly to He Wei's departing back: "Hey, boy, wait a minute, don't go so fast first, if you leave now, don't think about coming back in the future." ”
He Wei still didn't look back, he kept walking out of the door, as if he didn't pay attention to the old man's words at all, when he walked to the street, the road outside was already deserted, the whole world seemed to have changed, and the road was full of barren figures.
The white-haired old man followed closely behind, grabbed He Wei's arm as soon as he went up, and hurriedly said: "Boy, you must not leave first, have you seen the situation on the street, if you leave at this time, everyone in this world will disappear with you." ”
"What the hell is going on? Why is there no one on the street? What kind of tricks have you used? He Wei asked suspiciously.
"Hey, it's true, it's not a trick, if you don't believe it, you can leave now, see if you can come back?" After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he let go of his arm.
"And what do you want me to do now? Can you say it directly? He Weidao.
"Listen to me, you've had a lot of dreams, but they're not dreams, they're real events that your soul has experienced, and everyone you meet is real in reality, understand?"
The white-haired old man took out a cigarette from his pocket again, put it in his mouth, took a puff and continued: "Listen carefully now, in fact, I am not a taxi driver, I am a patrol ghost in the underworld, specializing in patrolling the sun, responsible for cleaning up the wild ghosts who have just died, including you." ”
"What? Are you saying I'm a ghost? He Wei stretched out his hand and asked the old man, "Can you bring me a cigarette too?" ”
The white-haired old man said: "You can't smoke this cigarette, you will die if you smoke it, and although you are not a ghost now, you are more terrible than a ghost, you have become a sperm, and you are still a worm spirit, if the situation continues to develop like this, you will go crazy and become a complete villain." ”
He Weidao: "I don't care anymore, I have been numb to this world, what it has become is what it is, I can trust you, but you must also believe me." ”
The white-haired old man took a deep breath of the cigarette in his mouth, threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stepped on it, rubbed the dirt, and raised his head again and said to He Wei: "I can trust you, but you must listen to me." ”
He Wei turned around and walked into the house again, and said, "Okay, then let's go back together, whatever you say is what you say." ”
"No, you come back first, you don't have to go any further, we need to go to another place." The white-haired old man suddenly stopped him.
"What about summer? Won't she go together? He Wei turned his head and asked.
"She's already there, there's no need to go, and you should have known who she was?"
He Wei turned around and walked over, and as he walked, he said: "Okay, then I'll listen to you, I will do whatever you say, but you can't question my words, otherwise I will change my attention." ”
The white-haired old man smiled, walked to the blue taxi parked on the side of the road, opened the door, sat in the driver's seat, looked back at He Wei, and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a familiar place, and when you get to that place, you will understand everything." ”
He Wei nodded, immediately returned to the car, sat next to the passenger seat, and said to the old man: "The street is so spacious, you can always drive faster this time, don't be as slow as before." ”
"Hahaha, how far the road is, how far the car has to go, how can we have the final say." The old man said with a grin, stepped on the accelerator again, and drove quickly ahead.
After about ten minutes, the white-haired old man drove the taxi to an airport, but there was no one in the airport, and there was no conductor in the ticket sales place, and every corner was exceptionally quiet.
The car stopped at the door of the airport hall, and the old man suddenly got out of the car and turned back to him and said, "Boy, we have arrived, and we will go to the plane in a while, to another world." ”
He Wei looked left and right at the surrounding environment, and found that whether it was the hall or the ticket sales place, there was no figure at all, and the surroundings were completely quiet, and there were faint blood stains on the floor, and the corners of the walls were dyed red.
He Wei suddenly couldn't understand a little, looked at the old man who got out of the car, and hurriedly asked: "Can you tell me what's going on, no matter what, you have to talk about it." ”
"It's all your fault, I can't explain it to you now, and everything will be understood when you get to the place." As soon as the white-haired old man walked to the trunk of the car, he took out a black leather bag from it and took it in his hand.
He Wei got out of the car, looked at him, and said, "What are you holding in your hand?" Banknotes? ”
The white-haired old man whispered, "Hehe, you say yes." ”
He Wei took a deep breath and asked again: "I've known you for so long, and I don't know what your name is, can you tell me?" ”
"My name is uncle, can you call me now, and you can call me that in the future, understand?" After speaking, the white-haired old man turned around and walked into the hall of the airport.
He Wei was curious and followed closely, but he found that there was no one in the airport at all, and even the doors of the shops were closed, and there were bursts of echoes when he walked on the floor.
"Hey, why are you going so fast, wait for me." He Wei rushed behind the white-haired old man, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It seems that you still don't believe me, since that's the case, then I'll go first." ”
He Wei turned around and left, causing the old man to turn around and grab his hand, and said: "Of course I believe you, but I really don't know how to explain to you now, I will rely on a few words for a while, not only can't I say it clearly, but you won't believe it, you are giving me some time, I will definitely let you understand all the truth of the matter." ”
"How long will it take?" He Wei continued to ask.
"About three days, when we get to the place, you don't need to tell me, you'll understand it yourself." The white-haired old man took out a cigarette from his pocket again, and with his other hand took out a lighter and lit it.
"Hehe, the addiction to cigarettes has stopped, how many packs are there a day?" He Wei turned around and smiled.
"One pack in three minutes, one pack an hour, and twenty-four packs a day." The old man said solemnly.
"That means you never need to sleep, do you?" He Wei couldn't help laughing out loud again, as if he felt that the old man's words were nonsense.
"When did you see me sleeping? Not needed today, not in the future, and even less in the future, understand. The white-haired old man suddenly put on a cold expression and turned to walk towards the airport.
He Wei followed closely behind, thinking as he walked: "Three days, how far is this place, even if it is a plane, it will take so long." ”
He Wei called the old man who was walking hurriedly in front of him and said, "Hey, wait a minute, do we need to take a three-day flight?" ”
"Did I say we were going to fly for three days?" The old man stopped and asked rhetorically.
"You didn't say it, but you just said it, it takes about three days, and those three days are not the distance? Isn't that right? He Wei asked.
"Yes, you're smart, good, very promising, but I didn't say we're going to be on a three-day plane, understand?" After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he turned his head angrily and walked into the hall.
He Wei immediately patted his head and followed, and the two of them came to the airport runway, but they didn't see a single plane up and down the runway, and the canopy was empty.
He Wei had a trace of doubt in his heart, and hurriedly asked the old man again: "Are you sure we are going to fly?" ”
"I know what you're trying to say, I can tell you that we're on a plane, but you can't see the plane for the time being, and you'll be able to see it then."
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, he took out a mineral water bottle from his pocket, sprinkled a soak of urine into it, threw it into He Wei's hand, and said, "Boy, wipe the contents of this on your eyelids, and you will be able to see everything around you." ”
"What is this?" He Wei asked.
"Haven't you seen the boy's pee? I've heard of it. The white-haired old man replied.
"Huh? Uncle, are you still a child? I really don't see it. He Wei smiled and immediately smeared the urine on his eyelids.
The moment he applied it, he felt that his eyelids were a little hot, as if there was a flame burning on his eyebrows, and the feeling was a bit worse than death.
He Wei slowly opened his eyes and found that the situation in front of him had not changed at all, it was still the same familiar scene as before, and he continued to ask the old man: "How do I look the same as before, and nothing has changed." ”
The old man gave him a blank look: "You close your eyes, wait for thirty seconds, and at the same time follow the silent count in your heart, when the time comes, you open your eyes, and at that time, you will see some scenes that you have never seen before." ”
He Wei nodded, immediately closed his eyes, and counted silently from thirty seconds to the last second, when he suddenly felt a cold wind around his body, and a gust of wind blew through his head.
"Okay, you can open your eyes, but you have to be mentally prepared."
He Wei's ears suddenly heard the voice of the old man, he immediately slowly opened his eyes, and found that the surrounding scene suddenly changed a lot, there was a black pressure everywhere, and there were strings of red lanterns hanging on each canopy, and the lanterns were still the two familiar big characters, the words "Hades" looked far away, but it felt like it was right in front of him.
There were a lot of pedestrians on the runway of the airport, and these people looked to be wearing tattered clothes, their bodies were stained with blood, their hair was crumpled, and their hands and feet were tied to a long iron chain.
They were followed by a lot of ghosts, and they kept making a series of miserable screams.
After He Wei saw them, he looked back at the white-haired old man in front of him and said, "Where is this?" Is it still an airport, aren't we going to take a plane, but where is the plane? ”
"The plane is in one of the canopies, I'll take you there, but you have to be mentally prepared, this time we are on a different plane than you have been on before." The old man waved his hand, turned and walked in the direction of the canopy.
He Wei didn't speak, but also followed, and the two of them came to the innermost canopy, which looked inconspicuous, and when they watched it from a distance, they thought it was a small black wooden house.
After entering the canopy, I found that there was indeed a plane parked inside, but it was a small plane, it didn't look big, the fuselage was only a dozen meters long, and there were two ghosts standing at the door of the plane.
He Wei stopped his progress and said to the old man, "Wait, is this the underworld, you answer this question first." ”
"It's not Hades, you're just seeing things you shouldn't see, it's as simple as that." The white-haired old man said, said hello to the two ghosts in front of him, and smiled.
The two ghosts also smiled at him, but they didn't speak, just looked at the old man and He Wei with a hint of a smile on their faces.
The white-haired old man looked back at He Wei behind him, and found that he was no longer leaving, so he immediately said: "Come here quickly, don't be afraid, these are all my acquaintances, and they won't hurt you." ”
He Wei took a closer look at the two ghosts, and found that they kept smiling at him, and they didn't seem to have malicious intent, so he relaxed his vigilance and continued to follow the old man.
Later, the two of them entered the cabin together, and found that the floor inside was covered with blood, and the soles of their shoes could be soaked when they stepped on it.
He Wei saw that something was wrong with the situation, and hurriedly said: "Hey, uncle, it stinks so much here, can you go?" ”
"What can't you go, don't you feel excited about this blood after you ask? Have you really forgotten that you are no longer alone? The white-haired old man didn't care about the lumps of blood on the floor at all, and directly stepped into it with a swagger and walked into the cabin.
He Wei really didn't have any way out, and it felt a little unwise to get off the plane at this time, so he had to walk into the cabin cautiously, but as soon as he walked into the cabin, everything in front of him made him startled.
There is a human head and skeleton on every seat in the cabin, and even some weird sounds are made from time to time, which is very harsh, and I feel a little dizzy.
The white-haired old man walked to one of the seats, picked up the head and threw it aside, and sat down directly, while smiling and saying to He Wei, who was standing in place stupidly: "Boy, what are you doing in a daze, come over quickly." ”
He Wei swallowed his saliva, his heart felt like it was about to stop beating, and after a while, he had to speak: "Uncle, is this really a human head skeleton?" Why do you have to put one on every seat? ”
"Hey, just sit down and leave it alone, it's just an ornament, nothing to be surprised about." The white-haired old man continued to wave his hand at him, motioning for him to come over and sit down.
He Wei hesitated again and again, and finally had to muster up the courage to slowly walk to the seat, picked up the human-headed skeleton in the position, and quickly threw it aside, and then sat down with confidence.
The white-haired old man saw him sweating profusely and smiled: "Haha, how do you feel?" Would you like to have a drink? ”
"Drinks? What drinks? He Wei was a little puzzled, looked left and right around the environment, and found that the plane was plastered with portraits of Hades, and the windows were lit with red candles.
The white-haired old man whistled, and suddenly a hairy doll came out of a corner, crawled on the ground, and unconsciously crawled in front of their eyes, and there was a bell hanging around his neck, which could make a "clucking" sound as long as he moved it slightly.
The doll was wearing a red cloth bag, holding a red paper roll in her hand, which was stuffed into the white-haired old man's hand, and her mouth was still smiling and cooing.
