Chapter 1 Mystery Bracelet
Dragging his tired body, Lao Qin rode a somewhat worn bicycle on the way home. The road is a little uneven and slightly bumpy, after all, it is different from the roads in the city.
At the end of September, the weather is a little cool, mixed with a light breeze, and it is not very difficult to ride a bicycle at night, but it makes people feel a little comfortable.
Lao Qin has worked for a day, and there is a lot of heavy physical work in the machine repair industry, although he is used to it, he still feels a little tired today, and his feet are gradually slowing down unconsciously.
The street lights were bright, there were no other pedestrians on the road to the suburbs, and the trees on the side of the road swayed gently in the light, and it became dark from afar.
It's late, the insects in the bushes on the side of the road are still screaming desperately, Lao Qin didn't look at his phone, it is estimated that it is more than ten o'clock, Lao Qin thought, feeling a little hungry, and couldn't help but speed up a few times under his feet.
The street lamp in front flashed a few times, which attracted Lao Qin's attention, his eyes swept over the street lamp in front, and he inadvertently saw that there seemed to be a small ball flashing under the street lamp, which was very obvious against the light of the street lamp.
Lao Qin rode to the street lamp, got off the bicycle and supported the car, he wanted to take a closer look.
"What the hell is it?" He was curious.
The black-gray ball, not like an entity, but a little like black gas, just hung in the air less than a meter, Lao Qin felt a little weird, took a step back, pushed the bicycle and wanted to leave here.
Probably due to Lao Qin's approach, the small black ball jumped a little, the brilliance flashed, and the edge flashed like lightning, causing several nearby street lights to flash with it, and the surrounding area was bright, and the ball rotated, so frightened that Lao Qin sat on the ground with his buttocks, and retreated back with both hands in a panic, and the bicycle lost its support and fell to the ground.
The sound of insects around me seemed to have stopped all of a sudden, and it was quiet, extremely quiet.
The black sphere grew in size quickly, and with each rotation, the mirror-like thing in the center continued to expand, and tiny lightning bolts surrounded it.
Lao Qin's bicycle was also attracted and slowly moved towards the ball. The ball and the mirror were constantly getting bigger, and Lao Qin Qiang retreated to a place of about five meters.
"What the hell is this?"
Under Lao Qin's gaze, the bicycle quickly slid in the direction of the ball, and as soon as it touched the ball, it was instantly shattered by the surrounding black and lightning cuts, and Lao Qin screamed, frightened by this scene.
The ball was propped up by the mirror in the middle to form a ring, and it no longer rotated. The mirror is still black, much thicker than the surrounding night, but it doesn't look thick, just like a piece of paper, and occasionally there are flashes of brilliance, just standing quietly in the air, Lao Qin felt a chill on his back.
I wanted to run, but my legs were weak, and I couldn't stand up, so my eyes swept around in a panic.
Suddenly, the mirror flickered outward, and then quickly retracted, as if swallowing something, and when Lao Qin moved his attention back to the mirror, the light flashed, and the street lamp next to it flashed, and it shattered with a bang, and the dazzling light made Lao Qin unconsciously block his eyes with his right hand.
After a few seconds, Lao Qin removed his right hand and opened his eyes, whether it was a ball or a mirror, it disappeared without a trace as if it did not exist, but there was something more on the ground.
Through the nearby street lights, Lao Qin looked at the black shadow, as if it was a person, lying there motionless. Lao Qin slowed down for a long time and strengthened his courage, slowly got up and walked over.
There really was a man on the ground.
"What's going on?"
Lao Qin tremblingly bent down and turned the man over, the man was shirtless, with patterns tattooed on his chest, and the puzzle seemed to be the number "41082", this person had a lot of fresh scars all over his body, flashing with different colors of shimmer, and some of the wounds were very deep and bloody.
Seeing that Lao Qin's scalp was numb.
"Who? Why does it look familiar? Lao Qin didn't react.
Lao Qin took his right hand and gently probed the man's snort, but he was out of breath. Lao Qin was a little flustered in his heart, and looked around, almost no one passed by this road at this time, and there was no one who wanted to find someone to help.
But this is also a person, and he can't be saved.
Lao Qin used the little first-aid knowledge he knew, pressed a few times on the man's chest, and then probed his nose with his hand, but there was still no breath.
grabbed the man's left arm again, wanting to feel the man's pulse, and under the light of the street lamp in the distance, Lao Qin noticed that there seemed to be something on the person's left wrist, which looked like a tattoo at a glance.
He felt his pulse, and the man was no longer pulsating.
He flipped his wrist over again, and the tattoo on the back of his wrist looked like a bracelet, glowing a dull black.
Can this still glow? Why is it still black? Lao Qin is a little strange, and now people are getting some strange things on their bodies.
Stunned, he suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in his wrist, and Lao Qin shuddered and quickly let go. I only felt that something had entered my body, and I quickly turned around my left wrist, looked carefully at my wrist, and found nothing.
Looking at the man's wrist, the bracelet-like tattoo or pattern was gone.
Moreover, at this time, the person on the ground also changed, slowly fading, and it felt like it was fading, Lao Qin still wondered, how could it be like this if it wasn't a shadow.
Watch as the man fades away like fine sand, slowly disappearing, as if it didn't exist. There was almost nothing left on the ground, except for a small blue glowing stone falling from its right arm.
Lao Qin stood there stunned for a long time, before he bent down and picked up the small stone, grabbed it in his hand with a slight tingle, and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be as translucent as glass, multi-ridged fusiform, and there seemed to be some traces of melting in one place, but there was nothing else to find.
Alas, the bicycle is also gone, and it seems that it can only be walked back. Helplessly, Lao Qin casually put the small stone into his pocket.
"What's this called?" Lao Qin had no choice but to go home depressed.
By the time Lao Qin walked back home, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.
After this incident, he didn't have the heart to cook, so he took off his work clothes and threw them on the chair, found some food in the refrigerator randomly, and wanted to sleep after eating.
He wanted to go to bed, but when he got to the bed, he didn't know what to think, and walked back to the table, took out the small stone that shone blue from the pocket of his clothes, and looked at it in the light, and found nothing new, so he put it on the table, and the light was not turned off, and he fell on the bed with some exhaustion.
The house is not big, the house looks a little messy, it seems that there is no hostess in this house, and it seems that it has not been carefully cleaned for a long time.
Lao Qin seemed to be extremely tired, and soon fell asleep.
However, Lao Qin didn't sleep steadily, and in his sleep, his left hand twitched a little from time to time, maybe he felt uncomfortable, and he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and kept scratching.
Suddenly, Lao Qin sat up in pain and looked at his left hand in a daze.
On the left wrist, there is a bulge, as if it is allergic, but if you look closely, the bulge seems to be still beating, slowly flashing a black mechanical halo, a bit like a bracelet, but it looks much more than a bracelet, with seven spiral bulge patterns, and a few black stripes around it squirm around.
Lao Qin was a little frightened, and hurriedly shook his left hand, trying to shake off the thing on it, but this thing had already penetrated deep into his wrist and grew together with Lao Qin's wrist.
"What is this?"
Lao Qin thought of the black ball he encountered on the road, "Could it be the thing on that person's wrist at that time?" Did I get into my body when I touched him? ”
"Virus? Parasite? Extraterrestrial creatures? Old Qin pondered.
He quickly walked to the table and looked closely at the bracelet-like thing in the light, like a machine, like a living creature.
"Bracelets are contagious too?"
He pressed it with his hand, and it didn't hurt as much as he had in his dream, and then he remembered the little blue halo stone he had picked up. So, I picked up the small stone and looked at it carefully, but I didn't find anything strange, but there was still a slight stinging pain in my hand, and I didn't understand what these two things I encountered tonight were.
Lao Qin was very confused.
He looked at his left wrist and then at the stone, and brought the small stone closer to his left wrist, and saw that one of the seven vortices on his left wrist was emitting a flickering black light.
Lao Qin's ghost made a god to compare the small blue stone to his left wrist, and suddenly the small stone suddenly attracted to the whirlpool, Lao Qin was startled, only to see that the small stone seemed to be melted, slowly embedded in the whirlpool, and the bracelet then burst out of a black light, just like the ball that Lao Qin encountered at night, quickly forming a black mirror in the air.
Lao Qin couldn't help but retreat in fright, as if he had encountered a ghost.
Seeing this mirror for a long time, there was no movement, and it stood quietly in mid-air.
Lao Qin was bold, and slowly approached the mirror to check, to see that there was no danger, so he stretched a finger into the mirror to test it, and watched the finger sink into it, and the tip of the finger disappeared, but the feeling was still there, and there was no adverse reaction, and the mirror did not react.
He withdrew his finger from the mirror and stared blankly at it, not knowing what to do with it.
Still stunned, the black mirror light flashed, swallowed suddenly, engulfing Lao Qin, Lao Qin's mind was blank and fainted, and then the mirror brush disappeared without a trace, and there seemed to be a silent wave of air in the house, dust everywhere, and a faint strange breath came out.
I don't know how long it took, Lao Qin woke up, opened his eyes and looked around, and immediately became nervous, this is not his home, it seems to be a shed, very simple, but the walls around him are built with not very thick wood.
Looking at the ceiling, it was only made of unknown leaves, and it was open on all sides, revealing a slightly dim sky outside.
Where the hell is this? Lao Qin was at a loss.
