Chapter 3: The Ten Quarter Moons
Fan Gang was waiting for himself in the mirror to leave, and walked to a meter away from the mirror, which is where Pan Gaoshou fell, and the image in the mirror has been synchronized with himself, a very normal mirror principle, and there is no abnormal phenomenon.
His gaze moved two meters along the wall on the right, and a corner was on the left side of the door, where there was a living window, a docking point for living robots, which regularly put food and collected waste residues every day, and a steel toilet connected to the wall underneath, through which human excrement was discharged to the outside.
This apartment is basically the same as his own single dormitory configuration, his eyes move around the door to the opposite wall, there is a set of small coffee chairs against the wall, and there are miners' lamp helmets and an iron hammer hanging on the wall above, which are the standard configuration of miners, and then there is the group photo, which is hung at the end of the bed, and the group photo can be seen at any time while lying on the bed, which shows that this Pan Gaoshou is a person with heavy feelings.
The quilt on the bed is uncovered, presumably the old man goes to bed early, and has the habit of nocturia, gets up at 11:30 to urinate at night, habitually goes to the sink to wash his hands and finds that the mirror is abnormal and is scared to death, or at first did not care, only to find out when leaving the cabinet, and walked back.
The person is dead, and it doesn't matter what he goes through. Fan Gang looked around, and returned to his own eyes in the mirror with doubt, and those eyes were also staring at him.
Fan Gang shuddered in his heart, his eyes in the mirror were cold and sharp, and at this moment he was thinking about Pan Gaoshou's self in the mirror in the memory trace, and his eyes should be another emotion → confused.
Behind the glasses, the lamp helmet, the iron hammer, the coffee chair, the group photo, the corner of the bed, and the rest is the ghost girl flying around scanning the house from time to time for real-time transmission.
Everything looked normal, and when he returned his eyes to the mirror and looked at himself, Fan Gang suddenly felt terrified all over his body, because at this moment he found that he was motionless in the mirror, and those cold eyes were not looking at him, but continuing to look behind him!
Following the frozen gaze, he turned abruptly, and on the wall at the foot of the bed, under the photograph there was a person, no, a humanoid mist!
"Who? Who are you? At first glance, Fan Gang rubbed against the cabinet basin and asked a very boring question.
The fog loomed, and she stood up tremblingly, yes, it was a person, she leaned against the wall and stretched out a hand to Fan Gang.
"Help... Help me..."This voice was not so much transmitted from the ears as from the bottom of the heart, and instantly transmitted to the pores of the whole body, and the hairs stood up one by one.
Fan Gang can be sure that he has really seen ghosts, although he does not believe in gods and ghosts, but after doing this job, he has dreamed countless times of encountering ghosts and how to deal with them, the best way is to run, and if he can't run, he will force himself to calm down, and don't mess with himself first.
Judging by her long hair and uneven silhouette, she is a female ghost who has not yet been dressed.
It's just that she looks so weak, this scene and the ghosts of countless rehearsals should be hideous, vicious.
However, there are often female ghosts pretending to be cowardly in villain books to win sympathy, taking the opportunity to absorb the man's yang energy, he did not dare to act rashly, let alone speak, and decided to wait and see the changes first, in case there was fraud, just stared at the female ghost, and habitually covered his waist with his hands, which was the standard action of the police when attacked.
The female ghost's hand hung down weakly in mid-air, and her body sat paralyzed on the ground along the wall, and there were some strange changes in the process, the original outline of the void was materializing, becoming half-virtual and half-real.
The voice that seemed to seep out of the ground sounded in Fan Gang's heart again: "My name is Shixian Yue, this is my true image, my escape... How to say it, let's call it an escape capsule, the energy carried has been exhausted, you are my last chance..."
Ten Quarter Moon? This name is indeed a bit unusual, between how much credibility Fan Gang has in her words, the female ghost struggled to get up and let Fan Gang see her "true image", at this time she has already materialized, although the position at the end of the bed is away from the light window, and the light is dim, but her "original image" really makes Fan Gang want to see but dare not see.
He hurriedly shouted: "Don't, you don't have to stand up in this way to win my trust, I'll call an ambulance for you right away!" ”
The female ghost named Ten Quarter Moon finally gave up and got up, sat on the ground and said, "I am a conscious body, and your ambulance and your medical methods can only save the organism, not me!" ”
"What consciousness, what organism, aren't you a female ghost?" Fan Gang was confused when he heard it, and vaguely felt that her words had a feeling of hiding behind the door, and he could see it when he pushed the door open, but he didn't have the courage to push the door open, but his body unconsciously left the leaning of the cabinet.
The tenth quarter moon said weakly: "Look at that mirror..."
Fan Gang turned his head in disbelief, and he also turned his head in the mirror, his eyes were full of doubts, but he had always been sharp-eyed, and he immediately found two abnormalities, one was that there was no female ghost under the group photo in the mirror, and the other was that there was no ghost sister by his side.
He understood that the female ghost wanted to convince him in a way that he could understand, although it was very strange inside and outside the mirror, a cold chill surged in his heart, and a layer of goosebumps appeared all over his body: "Am I in the mirror?!" ”
He was very sure, but he couldn't believe it, it was very unscientific, and he turned his head and asked Shixian Yue with a confused look, and only she could give the correct answer at present.
The female ghost's pale body was jumping, she closed her sapphire-like eyes painfully and unwillingly, thought for a while and then opened and said: "This is your consciousness space, this room is just created by your instant memory, it can be called a dimensional space, hey..." she sighed and continued: "What am I telling you to do here, with your current level of technology, you can't understand this, you can take everything that happens here as a dream, choose to save me in the dream, take me out of the dream, go to your world, or don't save me..."
"It's that simple, here? Then I said save you, will you be able to come back to life? Of course he knew it wasn't that simple, but he didn't understand it and said it on purpose.
Ten String Moon saw that he hadn't figured it out yet, it was already very abstract, she was thinking about how to express it, and was silent for a while before saying: "The consciousness body is like a seed, your organism is the nutrient cup, protecting the seed and producing nutrients for the seed, my seed is now running out of nutrients, and I need your nutrient cup to provide me with nutrients, but each organism only corresponds to one seed, and if you want to borrow your nutrient cup, you must get the consent of your origin consciousness before you can enter..."
"Ghost on top!" The expression of the tenth quarter moon is a bit euphemistic, and Fan Gang can hear that it is probably the meaning.
"It's only temporary, our ancestors came here a long time ago to build an origin base, as long as I find the origin base, I can recreate my body according to my chain of consciousness, so that I don't have to trouble you anymore!"
Fan Gang didn't know much about those concepts and science, but he really couldn't find a flaw in the words of the female ghost in front of him, but when he thought of the ghost's upper body, he always felt inexplicable fear in his heart, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no..."
Ten Quarter Moon sighed helplessly: "I have tried many times, but unfortunately they are all scared to death by ignorance, you are the only one who is not afraid of me..."
She glanced at Fan Gang, and in the dim light three meters away, Fan Gang could still feel her despair from the heart.
At this moment, her physical body was disappearing, and she forcibly struggled to stand up, and staggered towards Fan Gang.
Looking at her delicate and touching appearance, Fan Gang was not afraid, but felt a trace of guilt, quickly took off his civilian clothes to block her body, wrapped his sight in his hand, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Ten Quarter Moon collapsed weakly, although Fan Gang was panicked in his heart, he also had to hug her, and at this moment he could see her face clearly under the moonlight, which was as transparent as jade, with clouds ringing on her cheeks, willow eyebrows flying, and her blue eyes were clear and bright, staring firmly at the mirror.
"This is the last image I've ever condensed with all my energy, and I think... Take a look at your world..."
This last words with the sorrow, helplessness and unwillingness of the tenth quarter moon deeply hurt Fan Gang's heart, his arm unconsciously tightened, holding her in his arms and carrying him to the mirror, he couldn't figure out his true thoughts in his heart, whether he couldn't save it, didn't want to save it, didn't dare to save it, or he didn't know how to save her at all.
The Ten Quarter Moon slowly lightened in his arms, and the last trace of blood was hidden from that perfect face, and Fan Gang knew that she was dying.
This is a life, lying in his arms and dying, his heart suffers a wave of whipping pain, all he can do is to hug her tightly and shout in her ear: "Ten Quarter Moon, I want to save you, but I don't know how to save it!" ”
"Thank you..."With a soul-summoning call from the deepest part of his heart, his hand was light, his civilian clothes slipped off, and the ten-quarter moon vanished.
Fan Gang was still in a dream, looking at the mirror in a daze, the eyes in the mirror were also looking at him, the round eyes of the ghost sister were slippery and turning in the mirror, flashing and flashing: "Xiaofan, I have been looking in the mirror for so long, and I don't look handsome, what is there to be narcissistic." ”
Fan Gang turned on the faucet, picked up the water and scrubbed his face vigorously, and when he bent down to pick up the plainclothes on the ground, he found that the plainclothes had been worn on his body.
He grabbed the ghost girl: "Ghost sister, play back the real-time record after entering the house!" ”
The ghost sister screamed: "Is this your attitude of asking people to do things?" People are girls, at least be gentle, 97% of today's girls don't like rough boys, so rude deserves to be a monk! ”
The ghost girl's words were verbose, but the operation of the program was not affected at all, and soon her eyes were cast to build a three-dimensional hologram in front of Fan Gang.
In her cache, the real-time recording after entering the house is very short, only five minutes and thirty seconds, except for the first three minutes or so when he stands in front of the mirror to inspect the room, the rest of the time he is checking the mirror, staring at the mirror in a daze, and the images in the mirror are also synchronized, without any abnormality.
He did the math in his mind, it was at least thirty-five minutes from the time he saw the tenth moon to the time she died, could it be that he was sleepwalking just now, and everything he experienced was an illusion?
