Chapter 2: The Mystery of the Strange Rocks
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the wind in early autumn blows a little coolness on the body, and the occasional roar of the steamer on the river in the distance is matched with the neon on the high-rise buildings in the city, which makes people feel a refreshing artistic conception, but at this time the two of them do not have this mood to experience at all......
The atmosphere slowly became weird, Ling Feng couldn't help but shudder, and Zhao Fatzi continued with a wry smile, "Since I got this stone, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, I always feel groggy and have no energy, and there is nothing wrong with going to the hospital to check my body, so I will leave this matter behind." But in the next week, I found that the people who had taken the things disappeared one after another, and I didn't care about it at first, and there were many people who were sick and traveling in this ghostly weather, and it was normal to ask for leave, but when I mentioned their names by chance, other colleagues did not respond, saying that the company did not have these people. I wonder if this thing is not clean, it is evil, do you want to ask a mage and Taoist priest to do something?"
"I don't believe this, it's a world of science and civilization now, fat man, don't engage in superstition, there must be some reason for these things to happen, think about it carefully, otherwise, you call them to ask, or find their family and friends? If it doesn't work, call the police, it's impossible to disappear for no reason, right?" Ling Feng asked in surprise.
Zhao Xiaotian calmed down and continued: "The phone called, the voice on the other end said that it was an empty number, how could I know family and friends, they are all work relationships, but there is a guy, I have been to his house, and it happens to be Wuhan;
"Then you came here to tell me about this, what do you want to do now? I can't do anything about such a strange thing," Ling Feng spread his hands
"How can it, just our relationship, I have to pull you when I disappear" Zhao Xiaotian tried hard to ease the atmosphere
"It's not funny at all."
"Hey, I'm just afraid that I will disappear suddenly, no one in this world will remember me, I think even if I disappear, I will leave something behind, at least prove the meaning of my existence, after thinking about it, you are such a true friend, you know, I don't have a good relationship with my family......" Zhao Xiaotian became more and more excited
"Let's go, do you remember the address of your colleague's home, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman today, go now, lest you be distracted all day long" Ling Feng didn't wait for Zhao Xiaotian to speak, pulled him up, threw a few banknotes on the table and got up and left.
"Alas, alas, wait, don't worry, stones, stones" Zhao Xiaotian hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone and put it in his pocket.
The two stopped a taxi on the side of the road, "Where to go" "Jinqiao Community" "That's too biased, and it's a rainy day, it's too late and no one has a ride, I have to run an empty car when I come back" "That chartered car, we have to come back" Zhao Xiaotian took out 5 red tickets from his wallet and handed them forward, "Get in the car, get in the car" The driver saw the banknotes and eased his expression.
After getting into the car, both of them had their own thoughts, and suddenly quieted down, and only the sparse sound of rain and the whistling of wheels speeding by outside the window could be heard.
"By the way, fat man, do you remember that I had a serious illness in the summer of the third day of the new year?"
"Of course I remember, at that time, our class also organized everyone to go to the hospital to see you, so I sent you to donate money and materials," Zhao Xiaotian sneered.
"I'll tell you seriously, I don't know how to do it, I had a serious illness, I had a fever for more than 1 month, and the fever didn't go away, at first the family didn't pay attention, and then I found out that something was wrong, when I was sent to the hospital, the whole person was almost unconscious, and then I finally rescued it, and since then I always feel that my head is not clear, and I feel like I am covered with a thin layer of mist, and I can't think clearly about what to do, and I don't have the strength to do anything, and I checked it and said that there is no problem. Ling Feng frowned and spoke in a heavy tone, glancing at the driver in front of the car out of the corner of his eye,
Then he whispered, "When I saw the stone you took out just now, it felt familiar, and now that I think about it, I touched a stone that was exactly the same as this one, just before I got sick."
"What!" Zhao Xiaotian stood up suddenly.
"Bang" "Ouch!" I hit my head on the roof of the car.
"Don't be surprised, young man, sit well, you're going to be scared to death at night," the driver complained.
"What do you say, are you sure it's this stone?"
"Sure, I remember very clearly, when I came out of the Internet café with you after school on Friday and walked to the construction site at the fork in the road, I suddenly saw something shining on the side of the scaffolding, as if calling me over, I tentatively walked over on a whim, the closer I got, the brighter the light seemed to be, and the things behind ......" Ling Feng's eyes were blurred and he tried to recall the original incident, and when he said this, his memory suddenly became blurry.
"Headache"
"Okay, okay, don't think about it, just now let me not be superstitious, this will be your own god-like chatter" Zhao Xiaotian's heart was empty for a while.
As he spoke, the car stopped. "Arrived, this is the Jinqiao community" "Okay, master, you wait for us downstairs, about half an hour"
The two got out of the car, braved the light rain, trotted all the way, one after the other entered the community, only to see a large stone arch at the entrance of the community on the two big characters ---- 'Golden Bridge', this community has about 3, 400,000 square meters of construction area, not small, into the community, European-style architecture and courtyard design in the spotlight, slightly magnificent and elegant, from the window to reveal a little fluorescence, to the cold rainy night to bring a touch of vitality.
Turning left and right along the green belt, and stopping at the entrance of Building 4 in Area A, Zhao Xiaotian looked up at the towering buildings, took a breath, and felt a trace of unease in his heart.
"Let's go," Ling Feng pulled the fat man into the elevator and pressed the 13th floor.
"Forget it, let's go back," Zhao Xiaotian said timidly.
"You're such a big guy, you're still afraid of these, it's a big deal" Ling Feng glanced at it with disdain.
"Ding Dong", walked out of the elevator door, groped along the dark passage and walked to the door number "1340", "You knock" Zhao Xiaotian clenched his fists.
"Knock, knock, knock" "Knock, knock, knock", knocked for a few minutes, "Maybe not at home" Ling Feng leaned sideways, put his hands around his chest, leaned on the door frame, and just said out loud, "Squeak" The security door opened a subtle gap, and nothing could be seen through the crack in the door, the room was dark, and the two looked at each other.
"Who are you looking for?" a slightly old and withered male voice came from the other side of the door, as if it was not a living person, hollow, with an echo effect, and with this atmosphere, it sounded a little creepy.
"Uh, excuse me, is Qianqian there?" "I'm Qianqian, what's the matter" The old dry voice echoed in my ears again. "No... No... I'm not sorry, I mistook it," "Let's go... Let's go" Zhao Xiaotian's face turned green, and he pulled Brother Feng and hurriedly walked to the elevator.
Out of the building, the rain had stopped all night, looking for a stone step next to the fountain, the two squatted, Zhao Xiaotian shuddered and found a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his black suit pants, "Click, click" "I damn it, even the lighter bullied me" "Click, click... Scratch, scratch" The fat man threw the lighter out, Ling Feng looked at the fat man Zhao who was full of irritability, took out the lighter and helped the other party light it, "Poof..."
"What's the matter? Why are you leaving, aren't you looking for him?" Anyway, a man named Qianqian is a little disgusting" Ling Feng smiled, "Go to NMD Qianqian, the one I'm talking about is a woman."
"Woman,, what's the matter with you, you've been to her house, what ...... Why did you go to her house? What's the situation, what do you have to do with it, sister?"
"Brother, it shouldn't be this focus now, let's talk about business, let's talk about business" Zhao Xiaotian was about to cry.
"Okay, so you didn't find the wrong house?"
"Definitely not, before the incident, I chatted with me and said that I had saved up for a long time, and it took a lot of thought to arrange the family" Zhao Xiaotian shook his head vigorously.
"Hey, by the way, what does it look like, show me the photo, are you sure it's not the man just now?" Ling Feng still couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart and laughed
"......" Zhao Xiaotian silently took out his mobile phone, rummaged for a long time, and handed the mobile phone to Ling Feng, "No, this,
"Yes, yes, it's time to get married, young man," he said, swiping the screen to the side, "Oops, my hand slipped, sorry, this one is okay, hey, this is not bad... And this... This one... You're not good like this, really... Wow... You're a bit of a heavyweight, fatty."
Zhao Xiaotian hurriedly snatched the mobile phone, "Is there a little bit of morality, pay attention to quality, quality";
After some jokes, the tense atmosphere just now eased a little, but they didn't expect that the last clue was also broken, and those who took the grave treasure seemed to have disappeared from this world, and there was no more news, and all relevant information seemed to be non-existent, or replaced. Is it really the evaporation of the world, or is it a deviation in their memory' This question lingered in the hearts of the two for a long time.
