He asked me what I saw in the water.

What else could there be in the water but water?

Or does he know that there is something in the water but cannot enter it, or that he cannot see it when he enters the water?

I suddenly remembered that I heard his cry a moment before I fell into the water.

He said, don't go up to that bridge.

Why?

Is it because he already knew that the bridge was going to break? Or is that bridge impossible for living people to climb? Is it relevant to this water what he asked?

I don't think so.

"There's nothing underwater, it's pitch black, I don't see anything."

I lied.

I saw the huge epiphany.

But for some reason, I had a feeling in my heart that was preventing me from telling him.

Lou Zhi's lips were pursed, his head was frowned, he didn't wear glasses at night, so close, he could clearly see the pupils in his eyes, swallowed by the darkness, faintly oozing a trace of terror.

“…… Didn't you? ”

It took a long time for him to whisper three words.

Some regrets, and some unbelief.

I avoided his gaze and didn't answer, just nodded.

Then he let go of me, turned around and walked away without saying a word.

Lin Yu took a few steps forward with Jiang Si'er on his back, walked to my side, and asked in a low voice, "Can you go by yourself?" ”

"I can. Thanks a lot. ”

"Okay."

He nodded at me, walked side by side with me, followed the building, and walked in the other direction.

As I was leaving, I looked back at the river behind me, and the people who had not been on the bridge by the river had disappeared, and the other side of the river was still shrouded in darkness.

As for the bridge over the river, it is being rebuilt at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The bridge!"

I exclaimed.

Lin Yu didn't see it big of a surprise, glanced back, and then said, "It's just self-reinvention." ”

"Will the bridge reshape itself?" I wondered, "So that's why Lou Zhi told me not to go up that bridge?" ”

"Actually." Lin Yu smiled warmly, "That bridge, living people can't go on it." ”

The implication is that only the deceased can walk on that bridge, just like the bridge of hell.

I immediately stopped, "That's the slightest hint of her—"

"It's her soul. Her body was in the hotel. ”

Lin Yu didn't lie to me, and when I followed them back to the hotel, I really saw Jiang Si'er lying on the bed in the room.

Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her chest did not heave.

Lin Yu walked the soul of Jiang Si'er on his back to the bed and slowly put it down.

The red thread on the soul's chest, after feeling the person on the bed, automatically extends into the body, connecting the two.

When the soul re-entered the body, the person who had not recovered moved slightly, then coughed and opened his eyes.

"Silk."

I crouched beside her bed and whispered.

She turned her head and looked at me, her voice hoarse, "Xiao Tan, what's wrong with me?" ”

"You-"

"You're out of your body, you're okay now."

Lin Yu answered what I didn't say, and then glanced at me, "I'll go prepare some food, and you can rest." Tomorrow morning, get out of here. ”

I was relieved to see that Jiang Si'er was okay, but when I asked what happened at the gate of the town at that time, she only said that she was taken away by a cloud of black fog, and she couldn't remember the rest.

Seeing her pale lips and teeth, I couldn't bear to ask anything, so I took the food sent by Lin Yu later, gave her some food, and went to sleep.

Since I found out that Jiang Si'er was missing, until now, I don't know how many days and nights have passed, as if from that moment on, all the time has been chaotic.

I haven't closed my eyes either, and now that the person is back, I am also relieved, and all the aches in my body come out, I lie down on my side and fall asleep next to Jiang Si'er.

In a daze, I noticed a faint beam of light in the dark room.

I rubbed my eyes, opened a slit, and saw that Jiang Si'er didn't sleep at night, but turned her back to me and turned on the computer.

She seemed to be browsing some website, and I glanced over there, only to see four big words written on the dark screen - Transaction Successful.

"What deal? Sisi, what are you buying? ”

I yawned and asked, but Jiang Si'er quickly closed the computer, the light dimmed all of a sudden, and the room was all dark again.

She waved her hand at me and said, "It's nothing, just buy a little thing, it's okay, go to sleep!" ”

"Oh."

I nodded and went back to sleep.

The next day, after getting up, I urged Jiang Si'er to pack up her things and leave quickly.

I didn't want to stay in this hellish town for a moment, but this time, she didn't hesitate, quickly packed her luggage, and carried my suitcase downstairs for me.

When I arrived in the front hall, I saw Lin Yu sitting on a resting stool, and Lou Zhi was standing outside, with a suitcase at his feet.

"You are—"

"It's over, so it's natural to leave." Lin Yu explained, "However, we don't have a car, so we need you to take it for a while." ”

He was going to hitchhike, and I couldn't be happier.

After all, I don't want to encounter the consequences of leaving town last time.

I don't know who these two people are, but at least with them, I shouldn't have encountered those strange things.

So, the four of us went out of the town together.

In the parking lot outside the town, there are still a few cars parked sporadically, I didn't look closely when I came, and now it seems that those cars have not been driven for a long time.

Due to Jiang Si'er's physical reasons, the way back was my car.

I sat in the driver's seat, looked down at the mobile phone that couldn't be navigated, and was about to ask Jiang Si'er to take the mobile phone, but the moment I looked up, I found that the antique town was gone!

In the small town, there was only a white mist, and when the sun rose, the sun dispelled the thick fog, and it became a ruin.

"The town, gone?"

"When there's a need, it's on." Lou Zhi squinted, and his slender fingers tapped on my seat, "Drive." ”

"Oh."

I didn't talk nonsense, I stepped on the gas, but I remembered that my phone couldn't navigate.

"That-"

"Drive to the left, keep going, don't turn a corner."

Lou Zhi's reminder solved my problem in time, and I took one last look at the ruined town, chose to believe his words, and went to the left, all the way forward.

Lou Zhi and Lin Yu sat in the back and didn't speak, and Jiang Si'er talked a lot less this time.

I kept my eyes on the road, and I didn't have the heart to chat, and kept heading forward, and after about half an hour, I found the big road on the outskirts of our city.

It turns out that the town is so close to our city, if I had persevered that night, would I have been able to avoid this encounter?

I thought so.

But the answer is no.

In that place, it looked like something had been cast in a formation or something.

Unless the time and place are right, you can't get in.

"That's it."

Lou Zhi's voice, in my cranky thoughts, sounded again.
