Chapter 53: Late Night (32)
"Brother Ye?"
Xia Beifeng clenched the hands of the adults beside him and shook vigorously: "What are you doing in a daze, where is Brother Tian?" ”
"Huh?"
Ye Tianlang sat against the wall under the windowsill, bowed his head and posed~ playing with his mobile phone, and he almost dropped the mobile phone to the ground by his moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He pushed the child aside and said perfunctorily in his mouth: "Don't make trouble, be honest!" Didn't he tell us to wait for him here? Just wait here. ”
"But ......"
Xia Beifeng stared at the slowly melting "window" in front of him, took a deep breath, raised his head and shouted loudly: "But my mother said, let's not wait for him any longer!" It's going to end soon! ”
Mom?
This kid is really interesting, what nonsense is that.
Ye Tianlang turned his head indifferently, stared at the serious child in front of him, and was stunned for a while before he regained his ability to speak: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just the two of us here, you~ Where did your mother tell you?" ”
I haven't seen any ghosts, can it still be a dream?
"Hmmm......"
Xia Beifeng frowned, thought painfully for a long time, and suddenly shook his head vigorously: "I don't know, it's probably in a dream, anyway, I was just confused, and I heard her tell us not to stay here anymore." ”
"Why can't you stay here?"
Ye Tianlang stood up from the ground as he spoke, and looked out the window behind him uneasily.
"What else did Lingtang tell you?"
Ten minutes (probably) ago, Shen Luotian had just been seduced out by a beautiful woman outside the window, and he should still be in the woods now......
I don't know what I'm doing, it's the middle of the night, lonely men and widows......
"She said it was going to be flooded."
Xia Beifeng used a child's unique childish ~ tender voice to say the bizarre scene in front of him.
"You should have said something so important at the beginning."
Ye Tianlang stared at the scene outside the window, and his voice was filled with shock and confusion that even he hadn't been able to detect.
The dark red flood roared towards the abandoned hospital, and the countless vague figures struggling in the water showed joy at the sight of the two of them. Like a group of beasts that saw the deliciousness, their originally distorted and hideous faces invariably showed a greedy expression.
These people floated and floated in the water, as if they didn't need to breathe, and the tumbling waves kept passing through their blurred bodies without being hindered in the slightest. Clearly not human.
The wind blowing from the broken window was mixed with tiny droplets of water, and in a matter of moments they wet their coats.
The flood was already close at hand, and the ground beneath his feet began to shake with the low, powerful sound of water.
He even felt like he smelled death when the first wave hit the window.
Run up!
This thought just flashed through his mind, so without saying a word, he picked up the child next to him and rushed to the roof.
The surging waves then poured into the building, quickly filling the entire corridor, leaving handprints of various sizes on the mottled walls.
For the first time, Ye Tianlang felt such a huge force erupt in his body. After a few steps, he crossed the staircase on the first floor, and the dilapidated iron door that blocked his footsteps was kicked open, and he rushed from the third floor to the top floor in an instant.
An eeriely colored flood followed and flooded the entire third floor. It is spreading to the fourth floor. I don't know how many human hands appear and disappear on the water surface, rising and falling with the water waves.
The door to the top of the fourth floor is in the middle of the hallway, some distance from the staircase, and there is a vertical metal ladder if you want to climb up.
Ye Tianlang was running in the corridor, and he was secretly glad that he had read the architectural drawings of this building before he came.
Otherwise, I don't know where to run if I want to.
He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the metal ladder hanging straight down, and then thought of a series of life-and-death questions.
The door above can't be locked!
No one has used the ladder for so many years, can it still be used, it won't break halfway up!
I still have this child in my hand, how can I climb up?
What if the roof is already occupied by other "friends"? I'm not Shen Luotian, I can't scare them away by stomping my feet!
Behind him, a faint voice calling out his name could be heard. The tone sounded extremely familiar, and there was a little excitement, as if the two were close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Looks like someone is calling my name."
Xia Beifeng's vision flickered, and everything he saw was blurred.
He grabbed the corner of the adult next to him and whispered, "Brother Ye, you run slowly, I'll see who called me." ”
"I've heard someone call me, too, but don't look back."
Ye Tianlang gasped for breath, and at the same time pressed the child's head on his shoulder with one free hand, and taught viciously: "Close your eyes and don't look, if you see it, you will be dragged into the water and eaten!" ”
"Wow! It's scary! ”
Xia Beifeng shouted exaggeratedly, lying on his shoulder, but he secretly opened his eyes a small gap not honestly.
A beautiful woman was following them. Nodding at his gentle smile, he turned his head in the direction of the sound of the water and opened his arms with his back to him.
Ye Tianlang stopped in front of the staircase leading to the top of the building.
At the end of the hallway, traces of water were already spreading, and the sound of the hula wind was blowing overhead, and the voice of calling his name was getting louder and louder.
He glanced up and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the door was not only not broken, but also opened by Comrade Lei Feng.
I hope this Lei Feng is better alive.
He turned his head and said, "Climb up yourself," and threw the child above his head.
"Huh? Ahh
Xia Beifeng's puzzled voice turned into an exclamation in the middle, but his hand was not ambiguous, grabbed ~ and climbed up the escalator quickly.
"You ......"
He looked down while crawling, and after anxiously spitting out two words, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately changed his words: "Brother Ye, be careful, come up quickly." ”
Ye Tianlang worriedly held on to the rusty escalator below, listening to the dangerous sound of "squeaky and rattling" overhead, looking up to observe the child's movements, preparing to catch him as soon as the escalator broke.
The snowflakes on the roof of the building fell with the wind, constantly hitting his face, and it was biting cold.
Fortunately, the escalator that had not been used for a long time was quite strong, Xia Beifeng climbed to the top of the building without danger, turned his head and stretched out a hand down: "Brother Ye, come up quickly, I'll pull you." ”
The sound of water came from the direction of the stairs, like some man-eating beast with bad intentions. Years of dust had accumulated on the surrounding walls, and the rapidly expanding trail of water at the end of the hallway seemed calm but hidden deadly danger.
"Stand back."
Ye Tianlang raised his head and smiled at the child above: "Your little body is still pulling me, if something happens, we both have to fall together!" ”
Xia Beifeng snorted coldly unconvinced, and turned sideways to make way for him.
The howling wind from the rooftop blew into the empty hospital corridors, bringing with them a faint human voice.
It sounds like a man's roar, but I don't know if it's friend or foe.
Ye Tianlang took two steps back, jumped up in a big stride, and grabbed ~ the metal door frame in Xia Beifeng's hand.
A thin stream of water happened to flow under his feet, and his wizened hand reached upward, and sharp nails cut through the soles of his shoes, making a slight but heart-wrenching sound.
"Get out of the way a little bit and be careful of bumping into you."
He looked at the child above him without raising his head. Although the face of the person under his feet is blurry, he can feel some impatient excitement from the other party.
The boy obediently moved to the door again, staring without saying a word at a figure below.
What was reflected in his eyes was not Ye Tianlang, who was climbing up cautiously, but the back of a slender and beautiful woman. The wind ruffled her long flying hair, making a vague figure look resolute and determined, and her arms raised seemed to be able to block all malice and Shanghai for him.
Ye Tianlang climbed onto the roof of the building, and was about to close the door when he returned.
The murky water had overflowed the entire corridor, countless pairs of malicious eyes flashed in the water, and the black, thin arms were densely packed together, waving upwards.
Hearing that they had both jumped onto the roof, the woman's shoulders moved, and she slowly turned her head and smiled at the boy who was lying by the door looking at her, and slowly lowered her arms.
"Wait ......"
When the iron door was closed, there was a long, sharp and piercing grinding sound, and Xia Beifeng watched the turbulent water drown the petite figure, biting his lip and swallowing the three words "Wait a minute" back into his stomach.
"What?"
Ye Tianlang was glad that he had closed the door in time, raised his hand to hook up the iron chain hanging by the door, made a few detours on the door lock, and casually asked the children next to him, "Did you say anything?" The sound of the door just closing was so loud that I didn't hear it clearly. ”
"Nothing."
The kid shook his head, feeling a little depressed: "It's nothing now. ”
When the water hit the iron door, it made a loud sound, and the thin door panel trembled violently, making an overwhelmed moan~ moan.
Ye Tianlang stood by the door, listening to the angry and unwilling roar coming from the other side, and waited worriedly for the moment when the door was broken, naturally he didn't have time to care about the child's little emotions.
Where the hell did this water come from?
In the cold winter, you can still see the flood, it's just ......
Rao is such a recognized person with strong psychological qualities who can calmly accept aliens when he sees them, and when faced with this inexplicable cheating situation in front of him, he can't help but want to scold his mother.
He reached out and caught a snowflake in front of him, looked up and saw the snow, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Xia Beifeng squatted on the ground, his small body shrunk into a ball, his eyes stared at the violently vibrating iron door, and he sniffed silently.
The situation in front of him was too treacherous, and his little head was no longer enough to think. This night, he can only let the adults around him run around with him.
It was only then that he suddenly felt a vague sadness.
I'll probably never see her again.
The thought lingered in his mind like a huge shadow, heavy and overwhelming.
Although he was vaguely aware of the fact that his mother had left, he still didn't want to believe the facts that were already in front of him.
He always thought that those tips were far away from him, even if he heard the "goodbye" from his mother~ himself, the convincing power was not too convincing.
As has always been, there is an awkward quarrel between mother and son. As long as she is coquettish and apologizes obediently, her mother will always turn her head and smile again.
But now that I have done nothing wrong, why don't you want me?
"What do you think?"
Ye Tianlang's hand pressed on his shoulder: "Your eyes are straight, scared?" ”
"Nope."
He replied sullenly, speaking in a somewhat nasal voice.
Ye Tianlang: "......"
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this kid.
The iron door in front of him shook a little. Although there was still an angry roar coming from the other side of the door, it was much more peaceful than it was at the beginning.
He finally had time to care about the physical and mental health of the minor.
Unexpectedly, this concern led to a big problem.
Come to think of it, I don't think I'll be able to cope with children at all.
So now, in this situation where I don't know when I'm going to die, why do I have to appease a bear child who doesn't know what to think?
He stared at the depressed child next to him and cleared his throat in embarrassment, but he couldn't think of anything to say.
"I thought I heard someone talking when I first came up, did you hear me?"
Ye Tianlang looked around, and finally thought of an excuse to change the topic.
The rooftop was empty, and the flat snow surface shimmered with a crystal light. Not only are there no figures, but there are no ghosts, not even a single footprint.
"I heard it, but I didn't see it."
Xia Beifeng also looked around with him, but he also didn't see anything.
Once again, there was silence between the two men, one older and one small.
Obviously, the wind was howling around him, and there was the sound of "squeaky and rattling" nails scratching the door behind him. But Ye Tianlang felt that the air around him seemed to be frozen, and there was a dead silence.
It's not going to work, I'm going to say something.
Say something......
Say something?
No, I'm not going to say anything.
These fragmented thoughts did not even form a complete idea, but they began to fight in his mind, and in a matter of moments, a battle was fought in a hail of bullets and extremely dangerous.
He struggled for a long time, but heard the child next to him take the initiative to speak.
"Brother Ye, when do you think I will become a person like you?"
"Huh?"
He couldn't figure out the child's intentions for a while, so he had to sigh again in his heart, "Children are really difficult."
Then he squatted down helplessly and asked, "Who became like me?" ”
"Someone like you, very powerful."
The child opened his arms and drew a big circle in the air, as if to express the concept of "very powerful": "People like you and Brother Tian, very powerful, very powerful." ”
"Uh......"
Before he could react, he heard the boy continue: "If you become a person like you, you won't lose what you like." ”
That's what I asked!
"Of course not."
Although he didn't know why the kid asked such a question, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
I always feel like the topic is back within the range of what I can understand, but I still can't understand it.
"I don't know what you mean by that kind of power, but there are always things in this world that you can't stop from leaving. You may become very powerful, but you will still lose a lot of things that you don't want to lose. We just don't fear losing anymore like children...... It doesn't matter if it's great or not, it's just a matter of time. ”
He cautiously touched the child's head, as if he was treating some fragile little animal, for fear that he would hurt the child's life if he was not careful: "Something has happened, if you think about it again, if it is useless to think about it at the beginning, it is better to think about it later." The most important thing is to make yourself happy, and you always think about regretful things, which is not a good life. ”
"I don't think you're right."
Xia Beifeng stared at him intently, hugged his arms, and nodded solemnly to educate him: "Although it sounds quite reasonable, it is definitely not right...... According to what you say, to be a human being is to be silly all day long, and not think about anything, so what's the difference between that and waste? ”
Mr. Ye, who was inexplicably defined as "waste", felt that his heart had been hurt tons.
He was about to open his mouth to defend himself when he heard a loud bang from the iron door beside him.
It sounded like someone was hitting it the other side.
A thin stream of water poured in through the crack in the door~ and fell on the snow, quickly dyed red.
The voice of his name was heard through the crack in the door. One voice became more and more urgent, as if the door was not opened again, the people outside the door would die.
"Brother Ye, I seem to be ......"
"Don't listen!"
He reached out and covered the ears of the children next to him: "Whatever you hear, don't believe it." ”
A bright red pattern appeared on the rusty door. It looked like a smiling human face, with its mouth open and closed, muttering a few words back and forth.
"Open the door."
The man outside the door was extremely strong, and in a few strokes, the door panel knocked out a bulge and crumbled.
The bright red but blurry face looked more and more distorted.
A puddle of water soon gathered on the snow, and a dark hand slowly reached out of it, reaching for the unaware child's leg.
Ye Tianlang stretched out his hand and pressed the door panel, but he felt a pain in his hand.
The red grimace bit into the palm of his hand, leaving two rows of sharp tooth marks.
The tooth marks didn't look like a human could inflict them, but more like some kind of beast with two full rows of fangs.
Dark red blood beads oozed from the wound, and the skin around the wound quickly turned black.
The overwhelmed door panel finally fell to the ground with a "clang", revealing a figure banging on the door outside.
Ye Tianlang subconsciously pulled out ~ the knife, and looked at the people in the door defensively.
Unexpectedly, the man was even more excited than him, and slashed directly at him.
The chilling blade stopped at his throat, and the man holding the knife looked at him with a shocked look on his face.
"Instructor Xia?"
Ye Tianlang clenched the handle of the knife in his hand and asked suspiciously.
