It was past three o'clock in the middle of the night when we returned to camp, a few hours before dawn, and we still had time to sleep.
The big shopkeeper and Chenxi should have rested quite well in the past two days, they are not like us, and they still need to run on the front line, so they are not sleepy, so they are ready to spend the night in the car and wait for dawn.
Although there were people dead in Erzhang's camp, and there were also attacks by the ghosts of Xudu, but we are used to seeing this kind of strange scene, and it has long become no taboo, and there are sleeping bags in several tents in Erzhang, so I and Panda and General Night chose one of the wider tents to sleep in.
Because there was a big shopkeeper outside, we were more at ease, and we were too tired for the past two days, so we fell asleep quickly. What I didn't expect was that the panda was the first to fall asleep, and he was snoring like thunder.
This sleep was dark and comfortable, and by the time I was a little conscious and awake, my arms were numb. Waking up and wiping my saliva, I looked up outside, it was still dark, and it looked like I hadn't slept long. Since it was not yet dawn, I simply turned my head back and continued to sleep, and I was dizzy from this sleep......
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I felt something sharp stabbing my arm. I opened my eyes dimly, only to see a big black bird standing in front of me, it was the Night General. The sharp object that pierced my arm just now was the Night General's beak.
I rubbed my eyes and was just about to sit up, but General Night suddenly whispered to me, "Don't move yet, pretend to sleep, I'll call the panda!" โ
I was stunned, vaguely aware that something was wrong. What does it mean that I woke up when I got up and slept when I went to bed, and the night general clearly woke me up, but he didn't let me sit up?
At this time, I turned my head to look, but I was startled again. I've slept twice and woken up once, so why is it still dark outside? It seems like it's still night? And there's no light coming from the east, isn't that weird?
In addition, General Ye's behavior made me even more confused, and in my confusion, I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, but I was shocked!
The time shown on the phone is now one o'clock in the afternoon. In other words, I slept from three in the morning until one in the afternoon!
But why is it still dark outside at one o'clock in the afternoon? It never seemed to be bright, and it seemed to be night all the time outside.
At this time, General Night had already woken up the panda, and the panda woke up a little slowly, which made me feel strange. Because the panda has always been a very vigilant person, he will never go into a deep sleep before, and he will wake up at the slightest disturbance.
But today's panda sleeps deeply, which may have something to do with the fact that he is too tired, but I always feel that it is all a little weird.
General Night also didn't let the panda sit up, and not far from the tent we were in was the big shopkeeper and Dawn's car.
From my vantage point, their car seemed to be facing the direction of our tent, and that gave me a very scary thought: they were spying on us!
The panda and I slowly twisted our bodies, pretending to be asleep and turning over, but in fact we moved our bodies together.
General Night stood behind the two of us, commanding the situation in a low voice.
When the panda woke up, he realized that something was wrong, and he asked me in a low voice, what the hell is going on? Why did he feel that something was wrong the more he looked at it? After such a big night's sleep, why is it still night? Not yet dawn?
I whispered to him that there was a problem with the timing, and that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, but it was still dark outside.
The panda didn't believe it and said it couldn't be. But when he pulled out his phone and looked at it, he was stupid too. He thought it was my phone that was out of time, but the time on his phone was clearly one o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
At this time, General Night spoke, and it told us not to waste our efforts, there was indeed a problem with time, and not only with time, but also with where we are now.
I wondered what General Night had found.
General Night told me that the location we are where we are now is most likely not the camp of Erzhang before, because it has just discovered a very strange thing, the six corpses on the camp before are missing!
As soon as I heard this, I instantly gasped, and then looked over the camp, only to see that the six corpses that had just been transformed and killed by us had indeed disappeared.
Looking back, I realized that the bodies were no longer there when we arrived at the camp, but we were too tired to ignore the fact at that time. And what does this mean?
The Night General did not give us time to think for himself, but told us that after discovering that all this was wrong, he made a bold guess, and he suspected that when we had just crossed the stone bridge, we had not actually returned the same way from the stone bridge, but had simply crossed the stone bridge and came to the so-called "other side of the river"!
After crossing the bridge, the space we are in is actually a completely new space, but because of the illusion created by some creatures, the space in front of us is exactly the same as the other side of the river.
When General Night said this, Panda and I were shocked.
And the Night General was silent for a moment, and after a while of our reactions, he came to an even more astonishing conclusion. It tells us: "If my judgment and inference are correct, then the reason why the space we are in now is never daylight, and has been in the middle of night, is most likely because we are now in the real ghost town of Xudu!" โ
Hearing this, the panda and I broke out in a cold sweat and almost rolled over and sat up.
But I still restrained myself and didn't easily reveal the excitement I was feeling now.
When I thought about it again, I suddenly felt extremely terrifying.
I asked General Night, "So all the environment we're in now is just an illusion?" If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the big shopkeeper and the morning light outside are also illusions?
It's horrible, it's just horrible.
Zhuge Chenxi and the big shopkeeper are also illusions? Are they illusions created by the ghosts of the ghost city of Xudu, or do they themselves mean that they themselves are the ghosts of the ghost town of Xudu?
I finally understood why General Night didn't let me and the panda roll over, because at this time, there were two people outside who didn't know if they were friends or foes watching us.
General Night listened to my question and whispered, "I suspect that the Great Shopkeeper and Dawn are both powerful ghosts, although these two people know our affairs very well, but their behavior is indeed a little strange. Chenxi is usually a chatter, but when she met us just now, she didn't say a word...... What's more, we slept for nearly 10 hours, but they were not in a hurry at all, and they were always very patient waiting outside, don't you think it's strange? โ
I nodded and said, "So, we've been targeted by the ghosts. โ
Panda proposed: "While there are not many ghosts coming now, let's go out and arrest these two ghosts, torture them to extract confessions, and ask what the ghosts have in mind?" โ
General Night said: "Yes, the first strike is strong, I agree with Panda's proposal." โ
However, halfway through the conversation, we hadn't even made a decision when suddenly the outside lights came on.
The headlights of the big shopkeeper's car lit up directly at our tent, and the harsh lights shone in and directly on our faces.
Oops, they're going to act!
I hurriedly grabbed the ancient sword that was beside me, and Panda and General Night were also ready for battle.
At this time, the car suddenly started and drove towards the door of the tent, and when it was about three meters away from the tent, the car stopped, and the "big shopkeeper" and "morning light" in the car got out of the car.
The faces of both of them were strange, which showed that they were ready to do it. They should already know that we're starting to suspect them, after all, the endless night is a defying thing that defends common sense.
"Wake up, it's not too early." The big shopkeeper said with a strange smile, maybe it's because I'm sure that he's not really the big shopkeeper, so I think he even frowns and opens his mouth is very different from the real big shopkeeper.
Looking at the "Dawn" next to him, it is even more awkward, except that the face is still the face of Dawn, the temperament, manners, and demeanor of this "Dawn" are not similar to Dawn in any place.
"It's strange, why is it dark all the time......" said the big shopkeeper, pretending not to know.
Next to him, Chenxi also helped: "It may be a ghost in the ghost town of Xudu......"
As she spoke, she pretended to smile innocently. However, I didn't plan to continue to accompany them to act, but exposed their faces in a deep voice and said: "Stop acting, you are the ghosts of the ghost city in the drunken capital, right?" โ
