Chapter 7: Transformation

"What would you do if one day you found out that everything that appears to be fake is actually fake?" I received a message from Xueyan. When I called again, there was still no answer.

I fell into a dream with Xue Yan's inexplicable words, the difference from the past is that I know very well that this is a dream, but my feeling is more real than real, that kind of heart-rending pain......

Yuluo is dead.

The petite and fragile body was lying on the ground cold, with a trace of panic and uneasiness on the pale face, and the cold raindrops were falling reluctantly from the sky, and all I could feel was the coldness.

I knelt down beside Sunset in despair, unwilling to believe the scene in front of me, even though I knew that I was in a dream, but I still couldn't help grieving, because I was afraid that it would become a reality, and it was very likely to become a reality, just when I was sad and weeping, and suddenly the sunset appeared in front of me again, and I looked at the sunset on the ground, which was slowly fading away at the moment, until it was empty, as if it did not exist. For a moment, I didn't know how to describe my feelings, but I felt that the joy was like a spring of fresh water poured into the parched land, bringing hope.

But Xiluo fell into my arms, and behind her was Feng Yu, who was holding a dagger dripping with blood.

I can't tell who is Xiluo and Feng Yu at all, maybe it was Feng Yu who fell and Xiluo who held the knife, but my intuition in the dream told me that it was Xiluo who held the knife. I had a delusion in a trance that Feng Yu had killed herself. But I don't think either of them can die because I'm afraid of losing Sunset, and there's probably some kind of connection between the two of them.

"No!" I yelled at Feng Yu, "Get out of here!" ”

Feng Yu turned around and left expressionlessly, and at the moment when she turned to leave, I seemed to think that she was Murong Yi again, and she was smiling charmingly and dangerously at this time.

Suddenly I woke up without warning, I didn't get up, I just opened my eyes and looked around, and in the darkness I seemed to see a figure, facing me not far from the bed, a slender figure with long hair.

I came to my senses, and as far as I knew, no one had ever entered this room but me, so who could she be? I tried to keep my eyes open to prove that I was dazzled, but she was there all the time. I couldn't help but close my eyes, and then I opened them again, yes, there was indeed a "person" standing there, but I didn't know what to do?

The strange thing is that I didn't feel scared, but felt a little excited, if she wasn't human, then what would it be? I never believed that there were ghosts in the world, but I still had a reverence for nature, and maybe people don't become ghosts when they die, but something else.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and suddenly got up and looked there, but there was nothing...... I thought it was strange, but I was sure I hadn't been dazzled, and "she" had actually appeared in front of me.

I got up and turned on the light, looked at myself in the mirror, and smiled at myself, but found that I couldn't laugh at all, I seemed to be a few years older in the mirror, my face was full of exhaustion and vicissitudes, I thought that if I continued for so long, I would definitely collapse before the truth came out. I sorted out my thoughts, took a cool shower, and really sobered myself up. It was close to five o'clock in the morning, and by the time dawn I thought I would be able to contact Snow Rock.

When I got back to bed, I fell asleep again, but I didn't sleep long before I was woken up by Gao Yu's yelling.

"What's wrong?" I asked sleepily.

"Phone, Murong Yi called!" Gao Yu said with some excitement, "She knows that we are still alive." ”

"Stupid, didn't you take it?" I say.

"I didn't know she changed her number!" Gao Yu said helplessly.

"What else did she say?" I asked.

"She said let's give her back the bronze mirror, and then she'll give us a sum of money to make us disappear." Gao Yu said.

"Just remember the last few words, let's disappear." I said, "The devil will believe her unless ......."

"Unless what?" Gao Yu said.

"Unless they return the sunset!" I couldn't help but feel a little excited, I was worried that I didn't have a clue, but she called herself.

"When she calls again, we'll make an appointment with her and tell her to bring the sunset, and the location will be up to us!" I say.

Gao Yu nodded.

When the eastern sky was first white, Murong Yi contacted Gao Yu again, Gao Yu and I chose to meet at noon in a shopping mall with a large flow of people, I believe they didn't dare to do anything in broad daylight. Gao Yu and I came to the mall early and figured out the passages and back doors.

At noon, Murong Yi appeared, wearing a tight-fitting black leather coat, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, a ponytail tied high, and high heels "rattling" with the footsteps. She walked directly in front of Gao Yu with high heels, then poked her head out to Gao Yu's ear, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "We met again, do you miss me?" ”

"Where's the sunset?" I asked anxiously. Murong Yi turned his head to look in one direction, and saw Xiyan and Xiluo standing next to a hanger.

"What do I want?" Murong Yi asked.

"Here." I pulled a barcode receipt out of my pocket and said, "I'm locked in a supermarket cabinet, and if you dare to play tricks, I'll eat it." After hearing this, Murong Yi looked at me like a fool, and then said into the headset: "Xiyan, let people go!" ”

The flow of people in the mall gradually increased, and just when Xiyan was about to come over with Xiluo, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the elevator next to them, and broke up Xiyan and Xiluo. Gao Yu and I exchanged glances and immediately rushed over, and I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth when I pulled Sunset's hand. In the morning, I found a group of elementary school students standing in line outside the supermarket, probably to participate in some activity, I pinched the time to calculate Murong Yi and them.

"Stop!" Xiyan shouted, and Murong Yi and him immediately chased after him. I thought to myself, isn't this nonsense! If I could stand, I wouldn't have run at all.

I pulled Sunset and ran around to avoid Murong Yi and Xiyan behind me, while Gao Yu kept pulling things down to block them. At this time, the security personnel of the mall immediately blew their whistles and stopped us with batons when they saw us. I pulled Xiyan and immediately turned to the side, Gao Yu ran to the other side, Murong Yi slid directly past the two security personnel, and then continued to chase us from the other passage, the two security personnel saw that only Xiyan was left, so the two of them pounced together, but unexpectedly, Xiyan jumped up directly and kicked the two of them in the head, and the two fat uncles immediately fell to the ground. Xi Yan wore casual clothes, coupled with long red flowing hair, and her handsome face immediately attracted the attention of many girls, and some even applauded excitedly.

There were more and more people in the mall, and I thought to myself why I would come here without going home for dinner, when suddenly I saw a staircase passage going out. I immediately pulled Xiluo and ran over, Murong Yi was still in hot pursuit, I really admired Murong Yi's ability to run, he was so powerful in high heels, wouldn't he be able to participate in the race if he didn't wear high heels.

Suddenly, I was hit hard by someone, and I let go of my hand holding Yuluo, followed by the sound of me falling to the ground. Xiluo hurriedly helped me up, and Murong Yi had already caught up at this time. Just as she was two or three steps away from us, Gao Yu suddenly rushed out from the side, hugged her and fell forward, and the huge inertia threw the two of them out of the distance.

"Let's go!" Gao Yu yelled at me.

"What are you going to do?" I saw that Murong Yi and Gao Yu had been torn together in the distance, let go of my heart, go!

At the same time, he also prayed in his heart that Gao Yu could get out by himself. Out of the mall, I went straight to a white car, and the door was opened before we could get to the mall, and Xiao Jian shouted quickly: "Hurry!" Fast! Fast! ”

I let Sunset get into the car first, and then I got in and pulled the door shut, Xiao Jian kicked down the accelerator, and when I got out of the car, I ran away. Originally, when Gao Yu and I came out, Xiao Jian hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't call him, because his biggest problem was that he couldn't wake up when he fell asleep, once we pinched his nose and put a stinky sock on his face, but he still didn't care about falling asleep, and at that time it had already made us sigh at his "sleeping skills".

After Gao Yu and I chose a place, I sent him a text message and asked him to get up and arrive quickly, and the reason why I chose to be at noon is also because of this, it is really important to know each friend!

"Where are you going?" Xiao Jian asked as he drove the car left and crashed again.

"Go...... Go...... Go ......" I grabbed the handrail in the car, beware of throwing myself, and stammered. I used to like to stay at home, but now I feel that it is important to go out more often.

"Go to the River Bridge!" I suddenly remembered the last time Feng Sandao tied me to the bridge under the bridge, because I passed by there last time, I also knew how to walk and ran all the way over.

"What are you doing there?" Xiao Jian asked.

"I don't know, it's been a while to hide!" I say.

It takes two or three hours to get from the city to there, and I can't help but go blank as I look out the window at the scenery that flashes through my window. I thought I would be happy to see the sunset, but why couldn't I be happy, and I didn't know what to say?

"Heavy." Sunset called me.

"What's wrong?" I turned my head.

"I'm going to tell you something." Sunset stared at me and said.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"I remembered who I was." Sunset lowered her head.

"Really? That's great! I exclaimed excitedly. In this way, all the problems can be solved!

"I'm a little afraid to say it." Sunset frowned.

"It's okay, let's talk about it!" I said to Sunset, "Tell me everything. ”

Xiluo bit her lip and thought for a long time and said, "I'm a murderer!" ”

"What?" I said incredulously, "No kidding! At the same time, I also had a bad premonition in my heart.

"It's true." Xiluo said in frustration, "Don't worry about me in the future, I will affect you." ”

"Tell me what's going on, and we'll figure it out together." I looked at the sunset firmly and said that at this time, the only thing I had to do was to make her trust me completely and give her a sense of security.

Sunset looked up at me and said, "Two months ago, I accidentally killed a person......"

Looking into the sunset's eyes, what she said I just listened to so-so, but I saw something in her memory.

As Professor Han told me, Xiluo is really his student, but the real Xiluo is another person, and Xiluo next to me is just an ordinary girl named Yang Lan. There were a total of six people in their group, including Murong Yi and Xi Yan, as well as another tall and handsome boy named Lu Chuan. From her memory, it is easy to feel that Lu Chuan and "Sunset" are a perfect couple. I didn't know what to call this person next to me for a while, how did she become the shape of the sunset? I only know that although she also thinks that "Sunset" and Lu Chuan are an excellent pair, she is still jealous in her heart, because she likes Lu Chuan. But because of his own reasons, he feels deeply inferior.,So even if I like it, I try to hide from them.。

This time they traveled, and it was rare to have a chance to get close to him along the way, although she was happy in her heart, she rarely spoke, but it was the intimacy of "Sunset" and Lu Chuan playing along the way. When Professor Han and his group arrived in a village in Yunnan, they found that the people here were still very barbaric, and almost every family had a gun, but Professor Han, who was proficient in Chinese culture, knew the local customs in advance, and the locals saw that they were not hostile, so they quickly got into a mess with them, and received them very warmly, and warmly took them to the ruins, an ancient tribe.

Most of the houses here are made of stone, so the houses are relatively well preserved, and some villagers have raised sheep here. Yang Lan was mainly responsible for drawing and restoring the appearance of the scene, while Lu Chuan and Xiyan were responsible for excavation and survey, Murong Yi and "Sunset" were mainly responsible for recording, and the professor analyzed and restored the entire scene and the living conditions of the people at that time. That night they decided to stay because they also had to document and analyze the environmental conditions of the place.

At night, everyone built a bonfire and sat around eating some simple food and discussing problems. Yang Lan sat next to Lu Chuan, a little excited but didn't dare to show it, just occasionally glanced at him and felt very satisfied, sometimes he would think in his heart, how good it would be if he belonged to me, I would definitely be a thousand times better than "Sunset" to him! Thinking of the beautiful and lovely sunset, Yang Lan's heart couldn't help but resent, why is she so good, but I am so mediocre. If you really want to compare your talent, then I, Yang Lan, will definitely surpass her by more than a hundred times, but what people like is a pair of skins, and all the inner things are easily buried because of your mediocrity on the outside.

According to the villagers, there was originally a place in this area, which was empty but full of stones, and there were many white bones in it, and the miserable wind could be heard at night, so few people went, and in recent years, the pace of progress of the motherland has accelerated, and people have left home to earn a living, and that area has gradually been forgotten.

Professor Han speculated that it might be a sacrificial ground, and that in ancient times, any major ceremonies or disasters would be held to worship the heavens, and everyone hoped to find any clues there. The villagers who brought them over were obviously very taboo about that place, and the professor did not ask him to go with him.

It was not easy to find a place that had been abandoned for a long time by hiking into the mountains, so we divided into three groups of two to search, and agreed to contact others immediately if they found it. Yang Lan and the professor were divided into a group, and they walked for more than two hours but did not find them.

"Let's take a break!" The professor said as he wiped his sweat and sat down on a small rock.

"Okay." Yang Lan was also ready to sit down and rest, and at the same time contacted others to see if there was any progress. But just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly saw a gray snake with thick wrists behind the professor, and Yang Lan was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a while.

"Professor......" Yang Lan whispered, "There is a snake behind you......"

"Huh?" The professor looked at the nervous Yang Lan and whispered comforting, "Don't move!" Snakes are sensory creatures, so don't move easily. ”

The two of them stood and sat so nervously, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the snake leaving, but gradually crawled towards Yang Lan, Yang Lan was so frightened that he turned around and ran, and the gray snake quickly chased after her. The professor stomped his feet anxiously in the back: "I told you not to move!" Yang Lan ran desperately, until she ran to a big tree, she slowed down, ready to circle around the big tree, trying to get rid of the snake, but unexpectedly behind the big tree was a big pit full of vines. As soon as Yang Lan stumbled, he rolled down, hit his head a stone and fainted.

When she woke up again, she was asleep in the tent, and when she stepped out of the tent, she found that everyone else was there, and they were in a place full of large piles of rocks. It turned out that after she passed out, the professor rushed over, and then called other people to come and treat her, but fortunately, there was no major problem, and they also inadvertently found that this seemed to be a rocky field in the mouth of the villagers, and finally confirmed that it was indeed here.

About hundreds of piles of stones are arranged in a disorderly manner of several hundred square meters, and the strange thing is that there is a special circular area in the center of the stone field, which has no weeds in it, and directly exposes the dry land. A few people walked over like there first, Xi Yan walked in the front, when he just collapsed like the weedless land, the ground collapsed downward, Xi Yan quickly pulled out his feet, and then revealed a dense number of termites. Only then did everyone realize that the grass here had been eaten by termites, and the thought of these dozens of square meters of soil was full of dense termites, which made people feel very terrible.
