Chapter 173: The City of Nothingness
"You have a pretty good memory, huh?" Yuan Xi didn't know whether to say sarcastically or sneeringly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"No way, my head has always been very bright, some things will be forgotten if you want to, but there are some things that are deeply ingrained in my mind, and I can't give up no matter what." It was like the moon said flatly.
The two girls who were suspected of kissing just now don't know why they met inexplicably here, could it be that they were born to look at each other unpleasantly?
"It's a pity for me that I missed such an interesting party eight years ago." Yang Kang smiled and came to play the round.
"I remember exactly what you were doing eight years ago. Yang Su then took Aunt Yang Nian'an from the Internet café to catch you who had not returned all night, and it was said that you were still playing hair/pieces on your computer at that time, right? Wan Ruyue mocked mercilessly.
"Everyone has a black history that can't be looked back on, and the past should not be mentioned again." Yang Kang supported his forehead, looking embarrassed.
"You really look like someone who did something like that." In terms of Yang Kang's opinion, Yuan Xi is surprisingly consistent with Wan Ruyue.
"So let's now come back to the second, more critical issue." Yuan Xi twisted the hair on the side of his face and asked, "Where are we now?" ”
"At first glance, it seems that this is my classroom at Linyang No. 1 Middle School. But now it's full of sunshine, and it's a far cry from the long nights outside, and I've seen you in what appears to be a real-world space that you should have been missing for nearly a week. Then this will definitely not be a normal space. ”
"Of course this is not a normal world, and as for where this is, maybe you should go out with us for a visit." Wanruyue and Yang Kang glanced at each other, Yang Kang held a pistol in his hand, pushed open the door of the classroom first, looked out of the door, and seemed to nod to Wanruyue after making sure that it was safe outside the door.
"We've been living here for almost a week, and it's consistent with what you've heard from the outside world, proving that the flow of time here is the same as the outside world." Yuan Xi and two police officers went down the stairs of the new teaching building of No. 1 Middle School, talking as if they were talking as if they were going downstairs.
"But here in the sky, the sun will always hang, and after measurement, the angle of the sun will never change." Walking down the boulevard leading to the school gate of Linyang No. 1 Middle School, the scene on both sides of Yuan Xi is also the same as what you see in the school park, the signboards on both sides are all the faces of the smiling seniors who are admitted to famous universities you will see every day but you may not know them until graduation, the evergreen trees on both sides are still the same green, and the air is still faintly fluttering with the faint cold and gloom left at the end of winter.
Like the moon's finger, he pointed to the slightly dim sun near the west, the light was a little dim but not dazzling.
"And in line with the altitude angle of the sun, it seems that the date we are now is indeed February 7 in reality, and the specific time is ......" Ruyue paused here, his eyes flashing with confusion and uneasiness: "It's always 4:48." ”
Yuan Xi didn't expect to reunite with this seemingly coincidental and destined point in time again, she was still quite impressed, she had been emphasizing to herself when she met the girl named Wang Lian in the Spirit Hospital before, the time here is 4:48, and it is 4:48 frozen forever. It wasn't until after the "collapse" of that spiritual realm that Yuan Xi didn't figure out what the meaning of this 4:48 was, and now, like fate, this time appeared here again.
"We've checked all the clocks here, whether it's pocket watches, electronic watches, wall clocks, alarm clocks, or even mobile phones that haven't completely lost their battery, without exception, the time display is 4:48. Time in this world, at first glance, seems to stand still forever. Yang Kang showed the watch on his wrist where the second hand jumped up and down, but the hour and minute hands did not turn at all, and it showed 4:48.
At this time, the three of them were about to walk to the school gate, Yuan Xi unexpectedly did not see any rifts and chasms, but saw the school gate that she was familiar with and kind, luxurious and a little less like a school more like a palace gate.
Outside, the city was bathed in a somewhat reddish sun, silent and peaceful, or to the point of death.
"There's a whole city out there?" Yuan Xi asked with some surprise.
"Yes, the entire Linyang City." Like the moon nodded.
"It's just that there aren't any living people but us." Yang Kang added.
It's no wonder that Yuan Xi was so surprised, now she should still be in a different space similar to the spirit world, and any world she had seen before called the "spirit world" was a relatively closed space. Some are just hospitals, such as the one that Wang Lian couldn't escape from by all means; Some are just alleys, a highway with buses running forever; Some are just an abandoned school building, which at some point has been transformed into a church of the past, and a remnant that seems to be old has been hooked up...... Time and space are chaotic here, and different time and space are linked together for various strange reasons, seemingly illogical, and there seems to be some deep logic hidden inside.
But Yuan Xi had never seen an "open" spiritual realm.
For example, the "spirit world" where she is now, in Yang Kang and Wan Ruyue's description, this seems to be "a whole city"?
Yuan Xi still didn't understand what this meant, and when she really realized what it meant, maybe the situation had reached the point of no return.
In other words, the state of affairs has never been "irretrievable".
Under the leadership of two police detectives, Yuan Xi got on a police car that was parked at the school gate, the police screamed and walked through the empty and barren streets, the cities on both sides were empty and desolate, fallen leaves and uncleaned garbage and shredded paper were flying in the wind, and the cars parked randomly on the side of the road were covered with ashes.
Yang Kang drove a car and turned left and right on the streets that Yuan Xi was familiar with, as if the moon was intermittently telling Yuan Xi in his ears what they had explored and discovered here for a week, no wonder she could say it tirelessly, only Yang Kang was accompanied by her for a week, and it was rare to meet a third person, for knowing that there were more than two of them in this world, for Yang Kang and Wanruyue, this is a fortunate thing.
"All the supermarkets, convenience stores, and luxury stores can be accessed casually, because there is no one at all, you can take whatever you need to live without having to pay, and you can go in and out of any part of the city that you couldn't get in before...... At first, this may be something to be excited about for us to a certain extent, because without the constraints of law and morality, we can get a lot of things that we used to desire but can't get......" Ruyue showed Yuan Xi the diamond ring that was worth a lot of money at first glance, and Yuan Xi did see that Yang Kang's men's watch that he showed her before was definitely not affordable at his income level.
"Less than three days later, all that left us was endless panic and nothingness. After all, human beings are social animals, and they have been thrown into such a city where everything else is the same as reality except for no one else, and we have neither the Internet nor electricity, and all kinds of electronic products are gradually out of power and malfunctioning. And the sky is such an unchanging sunset. There is no one else to talk to except each other, and that feeling can really make people crazy......" Ruyue lowered her head and said, an ominous smile on her face.
"It's only been a week, is that an exaggeration?" Yuan Xi felt that this policewoman who looked calm as snow might not have the psychological quality as good as she looked.
"Yes, I feel good, like Adam and Eve being thrown into the new world by God for the first time." Yang Kang sat in the front row and said with a heartless smile: "This girl is still the first in the comprehensive score in the police academy, so easy to go crazy." ”
"What the hell are Adam and Eve? Don't be poor with me now! Ruyue's face was red for a while, and she quarreled with Yang in annoyance, and as soon as she fought with Yang, her expression became a little more angry.
Not to mention, if no one has come, they may really want to be "Adam and Eve" here, and then gradually use the products of civilization left by the city to start farming, and then really give birth to a group of babies to settle here...... In another ten years, it may become a new primitive human tribe produced by chaos...... Yuan Xi felt that his brain hole was getting wider and wider......
"Anyway...... Where are we going? Yunmo looked at the changing scenery outside the car window and realized that Yang Kang seemed to be driving the car to the beach.
