Outside the door is a foggy space, with no daylight or earth, chaotic, like the ruins of a city shrouded in a huge haze. Someone asked, since you can't see anything, how can you be sure of the ruins of the city. According to Brother Peng, when he walked out of the elevator door and looked up at this space, he could feel a kind of sadness and desolation. Later, when I thought about it, this feeling came very inexplicably and indescribable, like walking into a human city after a major disaster, full of sorrow, desolation, and misery, with the cold wind stirring the dense fog, and seeing the loneliness and desolation after the destruction of civilization.

This feeling is extremely oppressive and breathless. Although this space is shrouded in thick fog, it is like a magnificent and huge monster, standing quietly, as if it wants to devour heaven and earth.

Brother Peng unconsciously stood on end, not because he was afraid, but because he had a sense of powerlessness in the face of Honghan's natural shape like an ant.

He was like a nightmare, he wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, so he stood there, trembling in two streams.

At this time, it was Li Damin who discovered the problem, not to mention that this kid is a keen mind and can grasp all suspicious details.

He asked, "Brother Peng, you just started saying that you got on the elevator involuntarily, and you seem to have lost your thinking." Why do you see this world now, but you don't dare to leave? Could it be that you were conscious at that time? ”

Brother Peng looked at him confusedly: "To be honest, I don't know what to do." He pondered for a moment, visibly pondering the question. Then he said a word, and Li Damin and I were stupid.

Brother Peng said, "My consciousness seems to have been given to me by something."

That is to say, this force (let's call it that) in the dark not only creates a scene for people, but also gives consciousness and feeling at the right time.

It would be too mysterious to dig deeper here. We didn't have time to think about it, so we just made a note here and asked Brother Peng to continue.

Brother Peng walked forward in the fog and saw a cave. This cave is the only way to go, either to get into it or to go back. Brother Peng said that at that time, he had no consciousness of going back at all, and continued to move forward in a daze.

The cave is pitch black and deep, like a bottomless abyss. How dark is it, there is no light at all. That absolute darkness seems to have a powerful attraction that sucks people in, shattering and dismembering and melting into this endless nothingness.

Speaking of this, Brother Peng took a deep breath, and a deep expression of pain appeared on his face. Shortness of breath, hands on the chest, his action can frighten me and Li Damin, this is going to have a heart attack, we will definitely not be able to avoid it.

Li Damin and I hurriedly stretched out our hands: "Brother Peng, you are fine, right?" ”

Brother Peng waved his hand, and the whole person collapsed on the boss's chair, his face was pale, his teeth chattered, and the confusion in his eyes was indescribable.

The atmosphere at this time was very solemn and very depressing. Li Damin and I were both terrified by him.

After a long time, Brother Peng said: "You can't imagine what that black piece looks like, and I don't think there will be one in this world." It was a pure darkness, darkness without a glimmer of light. That's not the scariest part, though. ”

I tried to imagine the darkness in my mind, cleared my throat and asked, "What's the scariest thing?" ”

"Guess what I saw as I stood at the mouth of the cave and stared deep into this dark abyss?"

Li Damin and I looked at each other and shook our heads.

"I saw myself." Brother Peng said word by word.

You can't imagine how I felt when he said that, as if an electric current rushed through my body, and indescribable fear came like a tidal wave.

"You see yourself?" Li Damin couldn't believe it.

"I saw another me, as if standing on the other side of the abyss, staring deeply at this me."

There was no sound in the room, and we listened quietly.

"The abyss was like a mirror, sorry, I can't describe how it felt. I gazed into the darkness as if I were looking into my own heart, and what frightened me most was that although I saw me, I didn't seem to know him, as if I were looking at a stranger who was cold and distant. ”

"And then?" We asked.

"Then I went into the cave." Brother Peng said.

Brother Peng got into this black abyss and walked in the dark. I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a light in front of me. People who have been in the dark for a long time will not be able to adapt their eyes to bright light. But Brother Peng said that the light that appeared in front of him was very soft and did not hurt his eyes at all. It stands to reason that it is very exciting to get out of the darkness and see the light at first glance. But Brother Peng was not only excited at that time, but also felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

When he walked out of the black hole, he saw the ruins of a ruined city. The scene of decay was a dilapidated scene, the residential area was empty, the buildings had collapsed, some of the high-rise buildings were completely missing, and the steel frame barbed wire meandered out, as if a magic axe had fallen from the sky to cut it neatly. The ground is full of potholes, and it is as if it has experienced a great devastating war.

Brother Peng said, I have been walking aimlessly, not even a figure, and my heart is full of helplessness and panic.

The sky gradually darkened, and slowly yellow smoke began to rise, which looked a bit like a sandstorm. Slowly enveloping the heavens and the earth, the line of sight is getting worse and worse, and the visibility does not exceed a few meters. Brother Peng walked in this smoke in a daze, and he didn't know where the road would go.

The strangeness of the scene was not the source of his fear, what scared him the most was that there seemed to be something indescribable hidden in the huge ruins of the city in this haze. To use a misapt analogy, the city is like a dead, lifeless thing, and those things are like phosphorus fire jumping on a dead body.

Brother Peng always felt that there was someone behind him, looking at him in a deep fog. That feeling gave him goosebumps on his back.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums very close and far away, which sounded very lively. The drum beat is fast but not messy, very rhythmic, as if it follows some rules, which makes people sound very comfortable.

He raised his eyes to look, only to see two red lanterns faintly appearing in the air in the misty fog.

Brother Peng is so happy, he finally found the big army. It's such an eerie place, and it's really exciting to meet a crowd.

He hurried forward. At this time, the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't see his fingers in front and back, and he didn't have a sense of direction at all, and the only thing that could guide him was the two red lanterns hanging high in the air.

I don't know how long I walked, but I knew that the road was getting closer and closer, because the sound of gongs and drums was getting louder and louder, and the drum sound sounded particularly harsh, and there was a faint sound of a large group of people, which was very noisy and lively.

Brother Peng quickened his pace and hurried there, only to see that there was a lot of fog in front of him, passing by, and there was no end to how he walked.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke: "Don't go. If you go any further, you'll be dead. ”

This sentence was very soft, but Brother Peng heard it ringing like a Buddha bell, as if a flash flashed in his head, and he woke up in an instant.

The past flashed through my mind like a movie, how I had a heart attack, how I was sent to the hospital, how I died on the operating table, and every fragment was extremely clear.

Only then did he realize that he was dead.

When he realized this problem, Brother Peng said that the despair and fear were like 10,000 ants biting on the heart and body, and the whole person collapsed.

He turned his head and saw an ancient alley visible in the mist, flanked on two sides by high red walls overgrown with weeds. There was a man squatting at the mouth of the alley, wrapped in a black cotton jacket, and holding a long smoking gun in his hand.

The kind of smoking gun has only been seen on TV, and the copper handle is very long, about a meter long. The man couldn't see his face clearly, and it felt like he was both in front of him and as if he was far away. His mouth was squirming, and he was supposed to be sipping on his cigarette.

He stood up, knocked on the soles of his feet with a cigarette pouch and pot, pointed at Brother Peng and said, "Peng Liang! ”

Brother Peng agreed: "Hey! ”

"Peng Liang!" The man screamed again.

"Hey!"

"Peng Liang!" He screamed a third time, one louder than the other, and the sound seemed as if something sharp had pierced Brother Peng's head, and the more he became sober, the louder he responded.

"Peng Liang, our brothers are destined! You come with me, and I'll send you back. ”

"Hey!" Brother Peng was about to leave, when suddenly the fog cleared, and he saw that he was in a clearing in the middle of the street. The street is very long, and two teams slowly walk from the left and right ends to the middle.

A team is playing the dragon's head, the gongs and drums are noisy, the lights are bright, and I only see a very realistic black dragon dancing in the crowd from a distance, flying up and down, and the red light of the two dragon's eyes on the dragon's head is compelling, like two bright lights illuminating the haze. It is said that the finishing touch, and sure enough, with these two red dragon eyes, the dragon is like a living, and even the beard on the dragon's head is trembling. From time to time, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers. The excitement is similar to the New Year's market.

The other team couldn't tell what it was doing, and the crowd was surging. In the crowd, you can see colorful petals sprinkled into the air from time to time, and then slowly landed, and the air is filled with a greasy aroma of roasted pig's head.

The two teams seemed to be slowly walking from the two ends to the middle according to a certain procedure, and Brother Peng was standing in the middle of the street, looking to both sides from time to time, fascinated.

One is a black dragon that walks through the ups and downs in the dim yellow haze, and the other is a fire-breathing and steaming glow, and the bright and compelling heavenly maidens scatter flowers. He couldn't even move his legs.

At this time, someone in the darkness shouted: "Peng Liang! ”

"Hey!" Brother Peng was full of excitement and looked at the cigarette pouch man opposite.

"Come here! I'll take you back. The man's voice was demagogic.

Brother Peng remembered a voice in his heart, I want to go back, I want to go back.

He walked slowly.

"Peng Liang!" Suddenly, another voice sounded beside him, and it sounded familiar.

Brother Peng turned his head and saw that the dragon dance team had approached at some point. In the midst of a large crowd of vague silhouettes, there was an old man with a pale face who seemed very real. He stood not far away hunched over and wearing very old yellow overalls, his wrinkled face was full of smiles: "Liangliang, grandpa is here, come and see grandpa." ”

Brother Peng's grandfather died of cancer, pancreatic cancer. The old man was diagnosed with a terminal illness at the age of eighty-five, and because he was too old to treat it, there was no way to treat it. Grandpa stiffened for a year until last year, and when Peng Liang died, he was talking about business in Hong Kong, and he was not in a hurry to go back when the news came. One is that everyone in the family can handle it, and the other is that grandpa is so old, everyone has long been mentally prepared, and the old man has already been treated as a dead man when he is alive. There was no sense of sadness for a long time.

It is said that when the old man breathed, he never forgot one name in his mouth, which was Peng Liang.

This is very surprising and incomprehensible, Peng Liang and his grandfather do not have a deep relationship, and it can be said that they can't see each other once a year. Before the old man left, the cancer cells went to the brain, and he was basically confused. Talking nonsense all day long, gossiping nonsense, who would have thought that when he was dying, he would always hang Peng Liang on his lips and keep talking.

Later, Brother Peng came back to the funeral, and someone told him about the old man chanting his name. Brother Peng is so greasy, he is a businessman, and he especially believes in these things, feng shui Guan Gong or something. Although he is his own grandfather, there is grass and a shadow in his heart.

Now he actually saw the old man standing in front of him alive, and at that moment, his scalp exploded. He was so frightened that he couldn't move his legs.

Grandpa stood there and smiled: "Liangliang, Liangliang." "The old man's face was full of overlapping wrinkles, and he had no beard, so I couldn't tell how old he was. The eyes are extremely cloudy, the eyeballs look fake, but the look in the eyes is very weird, revealing indescribable deceit, like an old eunuch in the palace. The most terrifying thing is the old man's hair, completely gray, that gray white is reminiscent of a completely lifeless plant, a lifeless cemetery.

The man with the cigarette bag looked very anxious, and kept shouting Brother Peng's name, but strangely, he didn't come to pull him.

Brother Peng stood in place, looking at his dead grandfather, the huge fear had made him collapse, and he couldn't take a single step.

With the greasy smell of meat, the two teams are getting closer and closer. The old man staggered forward, reaching out as if to pull his grandson. At this time, Brother Peng said, I suddenly burst out of nowhere, rushed to the opposite side, and when I was confused, I saw the smile of the cigarette pouch man.

Then, I woke up. Found lying on a morgue transported to the freezer.

Brother Peng smiled: "This can also be regarded as a turn in the ghost gate." ”

After he said these experiences, Li Damin and I were stupid.

It was noon, and Brother Peng invited the two of us to dinner, and we didn't refuse. At the dinner table, I asked a question: "Brother Peng, who is the person who smoked the cigarette pouch?" ”

Brother Peng took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said, "Aren't you going to study the underworld, you can't go to interview this person." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Damin asked with a squint.

"His soul was brought back by him. Without him, I'm already down there with my grandfather now. ”

Li Damin licked his lips and said, "You mean, that person is actually calling you by your name, but he is actually summoning you spirits?" ”

"Yes. When you are young, you may not know some of the practices of the old people, and after some people go to unclean places, they will be confused, stupid, and stupid, and no one will agree to them. What's going on? When the common people speak, their souls are lost. Later, I looked up some information on this aspect, and said that people have three souls and seven spirits, and if the soul is lost, that person will be left with a shell. So you have to summon a spirit, go to a place where you may lose your soul, call his name, and it is said that when you summon a spirit, you have to hold the clothes that this person usually wears, which is very troublesome and complicated. I don't know the specifics, but if you have the chance, you can interview that person. ”

Li Damin patted his leg when he heard this: "Then Brother Peng, who is this person you are talking about?" ”

Brother Peng opened his mouth to say something, but he still shook his head: "Forget it, when I didn't say it." ”

"What's wrong?" Li Damin asked puzzled.

"That man is a half-immortal, quite evil. You're still children, don't get into trouble when you go. ”

Li Damin scratched the wall anxiously: "Brother Peng, what kind of children are we?" I graduated and went to work, and I was the president of the student council when I was in school. ”

Brother Peng looked at the two of us, his eyes flickered, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and finally shook his head.
