Chapter 186: At the end of the city, the night spring ripples
At the unknown moment on February 8th, at the eternal dusk, on the Taiba Mountain National Highway on the outskirts of Linyang City, the police car of Yang Kang and Yuan Xi and the three of them was driving along the winding mountain road, like the moon comparing the map of Linyang City that came from the bookstore on the side of the road.

After discussion, Yuan Xi's proposal was the first to be implemented, after all, Dusk Island and Linyang No. 1 Middle School had been investigated by the two police officers for a long time, but they did not make any substantive discoveries in a short period of time, on the contrary, it was the new idea proposed by Yuan Xi that made the two of them shine.
What kind of world are they living in now? Is it illusory or existential? Is it a dream or reality? Exploring the edge and exploring the unknown is the instinct that human beings have had since ancient barbaric times, and now in such an unknown realm, the three of them certainly need to find out where the border of this world is, if there is a border here.
Even Yang Kang and Wan Ruyue still have some luck in their hearts, maybe when they walk out of this city, it will be the moment when they escape from this strange space?
But Yuan Xi knew that things were far from being so simple, she just wanted to verify whether this world was the same as the "reality" she was in before, a cage where she could never cross the border.
After the airport incident, Yuan Xi tried to leave Linyang City more than once through various means, but all means of transportation, including trains, planes, shipping, walking, and car, all failed, as long as Yuan Xi left the territory of Linyang City, he would die for various unbelievable reasons, and the disasters that Yuan Xi had encountered have included various accidents from serial car accidents to meteorites hitting the earth. Then the time of the entire world will be reset to half an hour ago. And these few times Yuan Xi often died without even seeing the face of that strange young man, it seems that there is no need for the young man to be dispatched at all, and the entire Linyang City will act on its own, doing everything to take away Yuan Xi's fragile and unexpectedly strong life.
But after Yuan Xi became Yuan Xi, because of a series of events and the endless pressure brought by many demons and monsters, Yuan Xi had no time to verify whether the iron rule of "Yuan Xi can never leave Linyang City" could still be established now, but she didn't expect that when she really had time, she would already be in a different space that had become an absurd concept in this time and space.
Yang Kang put guns and roses in the car, Yuan Xi was not interested in this band but she didn't hate it, she just looked out the car window and the mountains on the outskirts of Linyang that were getting bigger and bigger in a daze, letting the green of the suburbs magnify in her eyes. And like the moon seemed to be a little unbearable, after several protests in a row, the song in the police car finally became Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, but Yang Kang, who was originally driving very passionately, suddenly held the steering wheel's hand and became trembling without any enthusiasm, and the police car walked crookedly on the mountain road, twisting and pinching.
"What are you thinking? Such a distracted look? It seemed that he noticed that Yuan Xi had been in a daze, and the bored Ruyue was talking to Yuan Xi and asking.
"Think about the past, every time I'm in a car like this, I like to think about something from a long, long time ago, lest I forget something too early that shouldn't be forgotten." Yuan Xi said softly, his voice weak and ethereal.
"I can't imagine that you little guy is still a person with a story?" Ruyue patted Yuan Xi's shoulder like a boy, and said with some amusement: "How old a person is, don't sigh and sigh all day long, sadness is flowing backwards, are you brainwashed by Guo Xiaosi?" You who haven't even entered the society, and you who stay in the ivory tower all day long, how can you have so many things to remember and be sentimental! ”
"I'm going to be scared if I don't go through those things and let them be forgotten like that." Yuan Xi shook her head and sighed lightly, her experience and story are not understandable to anyone, and she is far from such a "little girl" who seems to be still in high school.
"Afraid of what? People always have to move forward, no matter how beautiful and terrible the past is, it has already passed, you have to raise your eyes and look forward! Ruyue said the usual inspiring words, I don't know why, she wanted to see a little smile on the face of this girl who was covered with fog, but Yuan Xi's face was always only a sadness and indifference that seemed to have been numb to everything in the world, as if nothing could move her again.
"But isn't the reason why we are who we are today because of our memories of the past? If even my own past can be forgotten and discarded with carelessness, am I still the real me I am now? Look forward, look forward, you always like to say that, but if you look ahead now, do you see the slightest light? Yuan Xi still said in her somewhat weak, but more indifferent tone.
"This ......" Ruyue was also infected by Yuan Xi's negative emotions unconsciously, and she could only smile helplessly: "When we met before, I remembered that you were a very optimistic and lovely girl, did you encounter something that made you like this?" ”
"Are you sure I'm the guy you knew eight years ago? Perhaps we have always been two very different beings. Yuan Xi said noncommittally.
"I'll rub!" Yang Kang's scolding suddenly sounded in front, interrupting the conversation between the two girls that seemed to be going in some weird direction. The two girls sitting in the back seat felt a violent bump in the car at the same time, and then there was a sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground behind the car, and the whole police car suddenly turned sideways to barely stop the momentum, but it was still close to crashing into a tree on the side of the road and causing a car accident.
Yuan Xi hit his head on the front seat, his head hit out of a small bag, and he felt a little dizzy for a while, just like the moon was protecting his head with both hands in time, seeing Yuan Xi's confused eyes and squeezing out a few tears because of the pain, but he almost didn't laugh, Yuan Xi with this kind of appearance is much cuter than the negative energy that slowly blurted out pessimistic and weird words before.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Suddenly stopped, it was so thrilling. Ruyue shouted dissatisfiedly to the front.
"You guys get out of the car and take a look, you can see for yourself, it's crazy." Yang Kang said with palpitations.
Yuan Xi and Wan Ruyue got out of the car one after another, and as soon as they got out of the car, the two of them were also shocked by the scene in front of them.
This national highway was supposed to be a winding mountain road, with vigorous forests and nature reserves on both sides, quite tortuous, because of the obstruction of the trees, it is difficult to see the road conditions ahead, so at night this area is also a high incidence of car accidents.
But now......
There is no road ahead at all.
Just in front of the police car that forcibly stopped, there was a bottomless cliff, and the three of them walked to the edge of the chasm with their feet trembling slightly and looked around, only to feel that from under the chasm, a cool and damp wind blew in their faces, making people feel cold all over. The huge chasm stretched from here to the left and right to the infinite end of the field of vision, and Yuan Xi could even clearly see that the Taiba Mountain on the right, which was several kilometers above sea level, was also completely disconnected, only half of it was left, just like a god holding a magnificent giant axe, splitting the mountain in half with an axe in the middle, making it difficult to imagine what kind of great power could tear the earth into this shape.
If Yang Kang hadn't stopped at that time, and the police car drove directly down this abyss, no one knew what would have happened.
And under the chasm, because the land where the three of them stood at a fairly high altitude blocked the sunlight behind them, they could only see an unfathomable darkness, but far away from them, there seemed to be something faintly reflecting the sunlight to show a crystal dark gold.
"Blown...... It looks like the sea breeze, right? Wan Ruyue said uncertainly.
"Listen carefully, the sound of the waves of the sea below." Yang Kang said in a trembling voice.
Yuan Xi listened carefully, and sure enough, he could hear the sound of waves surging from time to time in the place where the chasm was very deep. She raised her eyes to look far away, and could see that the dusk behind her was gilding the sea farther away with a blurred dark gold, and standing on such a high place and looking into the distance, it looked not at all like the sea, but mirrors that sometimes broke and sometimes condensed.
"Wait, there's something in the distance!" Yang Kang felt that his rather keen vision seemed to have captured something else on the surface of the sea, he quickly turned around and ran back to the police car, took out a police telescope from the trunk of the police car, raised it to look in the direction that was difficult for the naked eye to see farther away from the sea, and he said in shock: "There are still people over there!" ”
"Show me!" Like Yue Er, he snatched the telescope without saying a word, and exclaimed in the same gaffe: "Where are those people going?" There...... Could it be a waterfall? ”
Yuan Xi took the telescope handed over by Ruyue, and also looked in the direction they had looked at before, and sure enough, he saw that above the rippling waves in that sea area, there was a lonely boat rowing in a farther direction, and the vast sea actually existed at the end, at the end of the sea level, from here, there was no sea water at all, it seemed that the sea water was blocked by an invisible wall when it reached that place, and then invariably fell to the depths of gravity, converging into an endless waterfall, The small boat was pulled by the sea in the rippling dusk sea, and inevitably sailed towards the waterfall, and it seemed that several vague figures on the boat could be seen in a panicked and hurrying manner.
It's just that Yuan Xi observed the boat for more than ten seconds, and the small wooden boat disappeared on the edge of the waterfall, as if it was swallowed by the waterfall that flowed to the abyss.
Of course Yuan Xi recognized this scene, wasn't this the last waterfall she had encountered when she and the nervous Son of Dusk were in the same boat before? Why did you meet her here again now? Could it be that this is the bottomless night spring she had fallen into before? (To be continued.) )
