"Where can I go when I go out, people play cards, dance and dance, and I don't know this."

"I can't stay outside, the old neighbor on the other side of the door moved out a few years ago, saying that he went to live with his son, and he is not familiar with the new move-in, so he can't talk about it."

"Outside, at most downstairs, I met a few familiar ones in the community, just say a few words, but everyone has granddaughters and grandchildren to bring, when it's time, I will pick up the children from school and cook for the children, I can't still follow the people in the house."

Jing Chen listened to the middle-aged woman babbling, but didn't speak, but nodded from time to time, indicating that he was listening.

If it weren't for the special circumstances that Jing Chen saw, in fact, the middle-aged woman was more suitable for the previous old man Hong's stall.

The middle-aged woman was more talking about trivial matters, and although the 'haunted' thing was weird, it was not actually the focus of the middle-aged woman's words.

There may be a lack of someone to talk to.

"In the early years, there was a vegetable market over there, and when I came out to buy vegetables, I still knew some vegetable sellers, so I could buy vegetables...... The vegetable market in the back has been demolished and replaced with a supermarket, and the original people in the vegetable market don't know where to go. ”

"When I go to the supermarket, it's densely packed with people...... You said something was better out there. ”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman moved the large bag of vegetables at her feet so that she would not fall over.

Then he sighed slightly,

"His father is a short-lived ghost, he was stoned to death on the construction site in his thirties, fortunately he lost some money, but where is it enough to raise a child...... I didn't get married again, you brought a drag oil bottle and swallowed a gold jar, who wants you......"

The middle-aged woman spoke, and when she chattered, she talked far away.

Jing Chen didn't interrupt her, just being an honest listener.

"Later, the child grew up and went to other places, in fact, it wasn't far away, just over there in the capital, but it was impossible to come back at every turn while working, don't you say...... Young people, careers always have to be developed......"

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman turned her head to look at Jing Chen, as if she wanted to seek Jing Chen's approval of her words.

After looking at Jing Chen and nodded, the middle-aged woman let out a long breath, and seemed to finally remember the topic,

"I'm alone in the house, except for watching TV, just making breakfast, lunch, dinner, thinking about what to eat three times a day, and then I only have to fall asleep......"

"Actually, I also know that I may have been alone for a long time...... As I get older, my memory is getting better and better, and I'm living upside down......"

The middle-aged woman spoke, and was silent for a while, and then continued,

“…… Like the other day, when it was only midnight, I thought it was going to dawn, so I went to the kitchen and started making breakfast...... When I waited for breakfast to be finished in the living room, it was only two o'clock in the middle of the night......"

Listening to the middle-aged woman's words, in fact, she doesn't think there are any 'ghosts' herself, and she may be more inclined to be haunted by the 'ghosts' in her heart.

"Eldest sister, apart from what you just said, are there any other movements during the 'haunting'?"

"There's no other movement...... It's just that when I was dozing off while watching TV, there was a sudden sound, and it scared people......"

Finally found a break for a middle-aged woman to speak, Jing Chen turned the topic back to the topic,

The middle-aged woman said these things again, and her face was still a little hesitant and worried.

"Sometimes as I walk, I feel like the stool in front of me has touched someone, and I suddenly move my position...... I don't know what's wrong. I've been alone for a long time, and I'm ......."

The middle-aged woman's eyes were even more worried, she was actually not so afraid of 'haunting', and she was a little more afraid that something was wrong with her.

The older I get, the more I am afraid of getting sick, not only of the pain on my body, but also of the dislike of my family.

"Eldest sister, you should be fine yourself. Maybe there's a slight problem in your house. ”

Jing Chen said this, and the middle-aged woman was slightly relieved when she heard this, and then leaned forward a little, and asked again,

"Sir, what do you say, I ......"

"So be it. Eldest sister, go home first, I'll help you figure out a way to do your business. In two days, things are still going on in the house, and you can come here to find me again. ”

】

Jing Chen said again to the middle-aged woman.

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she was stunned,

She originally thought that this gentleman should also do something to resolve it for her.

But just let her go back, and the key thing is, I didn't let her give money.

Sometimes, superstition and sophistication do not contradict each other.

"Shall I go back now?"

"Hmm. Of course, if you want to go around outside, you can go around, and you can do whatever you want. You've got the thing you just said, and I'll help you figure it out. ”

"That ......"

Jing Chen smiled and affirmed again, the middle-aged woman stood up hesitantly, and then lifted the vegetable bag at her feet,

"Then I'll go first."

"Hmm."

After the middle-aged woman got up, Jing Chen took a peek at her future again, made sure that she was not in danger for a while in the future, and nodded again.

The middle-aged woman was about to turn around when she heard Jing Chen's words, but she stopped again.

After a pause, he took out a bag containing money from his pocket, hesitated for a while, and finally picked out a fifty-dollar bill and handed it over.

"Sir, I haven't given you the money for fortune-telling yet, I don't know if it's enough."

"That's enough."

Seeing this, Jing Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to take it.

When the middle-aged woman saw Jing Chen take the money, she was much more relaxed.

"Sir, have you been here for the last few days? I'll figure it out to you another day. ”

"It's all there."

After a few more words, the middle-aged woman turned and left.

Jing Chen, on the other hand, moved his gaze to the middle-aged woman's side again.

Just behind the middle-aged woman before, in front of her body at this moment, there has been a somewhat special figure hovering back.

It looked like an old man, most of the time with his head bowed and his body bent.

He wore a shabby coarse linen robe with a hood, and was wrapped in a layer of lily on the outside, and his hands and feet were shrunk within the cuffs and placket of the coarse cloth garment.

The whole person can only see this general body.

His pace of movement was not very fast, and every step he took seemed to be a temptation.

With each step forward, there is a pause in the movement.

The world was in daylight, but the man's movements seemed to be in darkness.

And the pedestrians passing around, and even the middle-aged woman just now, all ignored the somewhat strange figure.

Even if there was a gaze in that direction, the focus of the gaze never lingered on the strange figure.

At this time, the middle-aged woman who had left walked up to the figure,

The middle-aged woman seemed to be still thinking about what she had said in advance, lowered her head, and did not stop.

The figure in the linen dress had just taken a step and stopped in place.

Finally, the two met without surprise,

But it's like they're just illusions for each other, and they pass through each other directly.

The middle-aged woman continued to walk forward without hindrance, and the strange figure also tentatively walked forward again.

However, the middle-aged woman seemed to have established some kind of connection with this strange figure, and no matter how the strange figure moved, it always circled around the middle-aged woman.

Then, Jing Chen saw the strange figure and crashed into the tree next to him.

The strange figure that was directly opposite each other with the middle-aged woman just now, at this time, the tree obviously had an effect on him,

When his feet probed something in front of him, visible to the naked eye, the strange figure was like a great enemy,

He still seems to be in his own claustrophobic world, unaware of the tree in front of him.

In Jing Chen's eyes, this scene is a little funny,

But the reaction of the people around him is a little terrifying.

And Jing Chen looked at the strange figure again,

Then he saw the figure pause on the spot, and then he tried it again.

And this time, the tree's obstacle to him disappeared again, and he walked directly through the tree, as if through an apparition,

Continue to circle the middle-aged woman who has gradually walked away, a little cautious and blindly circling.

The pedestrians around were still unaware of the existence of the strange figure.

Obviously, that special and strange figure is the 'ghost' in the middle-aged woman's house.

Looking at the strange figure just before passing through the tree, there was a single footprint left on the ground,

Jing Chen looked at the strange figure again, in his senses, or perceptions, this strange figure was also a little special,

It felt like the figure was there, but it wasn't there...... It's different from Old Man Hong's wife.

He is not illusory.

Jing Chen can only find a description of this strange feeling, feeling that the figure is outside this world, and the connection with this world is intermittent.

After a pause, Jing Chen stood up and tried to shout at the special figure,

"Would you mind coming to me, sir?"

After Jing Chen's figure was issued, he saw that the figure obviously heard it,

He paused, stopped in place, and turned his head back and forth in a bit of panic, as if trying to find Jing Chen's location.

"Who are you? Where are you? ”

"I've been here for a long time, and you're the first life I've ever encountered."

The figure looked up, it was indeed an old man, but it still covered the lower half of its face with burlap,

The exposed eyes are a little gray, and the forehead is bulging with bulging muscles and veins, which looks a little hideous.

Jing Chen listened to the words of the figure and paused,

These words revealed a lot of information, and it was clear that in the perception of that figure, he did not exist on this street.

And the most important thing is that Jing Chen has never heard the language spoken by this figure, but he can directly understand the meaning.

The tone of the language is strange, like a high-pitched, shrill sound alternating with a low hum.

"I'm here."

Jing Chen looked at this figure, paused for a moment, and then gave another answer.

Then, seeing that this figure stopped scratching his head left and right, Jing Chen's answer seemed to let him find his direction,

He looked over at Jing Chen, and then bowed his head submissively.

Followed closely, the sentence leaned over, his head buried, and with respect for a great being, he quickly approached Jing Chen's side,

Ultimately...... Stopped in front of Jing Chen's stall.

And Jing Chen also clearly felt that this strange figure had broken away from the previous state of being real and sometimes illusory, and had truly entered this world.

Does this count as he pulled this man in out of the world?

"Sit down."

After looking at his inexplicably respectful figure, Jing Chen moved the stool next to him.

"Yes."

The special figure of the old man still maintained his awe and respect for Jing Chen, and he didn't even dare to refuse Jing Chen's words.

He pulled down the hat on his head and sat down.

On the head under the hat, there is no normal hair, and there is not even a trace of its existence,

The scalp has a smooth gelatinous texture like fish skin, but at the moment the smooth skin and flesh are also destroyed, as if it has been affected in some way, and the flesh has become rotten, and some worms can even be seen scurrying in the flesh.

"Great God, Pious Mahal, humble greetings to you, thank you for your forgiveness and kindness."

Perhaps Jing Chen didn't say anything for a long time, the old man-like figure lowered his body again and said humbly to Jing Chen.

He could not be humbled, and after he had performed the ancient rituals, he fell into an infinite darkness of nothingness.

Any perception he felt lost its meaning, and if it weren't for his strong will, he wouldn't be able to hold on to this moment.

And just now, what he saw was a scene like the creation of the world.

With the proclamation of the Great Being, the entire dark and ethereal world seemed to be cut apart, dividing the way to the Great Being.

A whole new world appeared before him.

"Thank you for saving."

"Where are you from?"

Judging from the language, the strange appearance of this old man, and the pre-existing state, it is clear that he does not belong to this world.

Jing Chen sat down, didn't say much to the old man's gratitude, just asked out loud, and then turned his head to look at the situation around him.

The surrounding pedestrians still turned a blind eye to the sudden appearance of the old man, and it seemed that the old man had been sitting in Jing Chen's stall, and no one deliberately cast his eyes.

After Jing Chen's question was asked, he never received an answer for a long time.

Turning his head again, Jing Chen saw that this special visitor lowered his head and trembled, but he was still reluctant to speak.

Having gone through countless crises, even when he was saved, he still did not forget what needed attention.

Faced with a great being in another world, he can't understand the greatness of this being,

But he knew that names, place names might also have some kind of memetic nature, and if he divulged where he came from,

Following his word, great beings may come to his world...... He couldn't predict if it was good or bad, but he couldn't make that world any worse.

If it weren't for some responsibility, he wouldn't even be willing to come here, preferring to be sacrificed again when the Great Being cried out.

He was afraid that just following his existence would expose his world again.

"You don't have to tell me where you're from, but please give me a direction for communication."

Jing Chen looked at this Mahal's reaction, probably guessing that his words touched some sensitive places earlier.

"Thank you for your leniency, you are so kind and great."

Mahal breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully and reverently,

After hesitating for a moment, Mahal said simply,

"Great being, I come from another world. I want to find salvation for my hometown. ”

"We used an ancient ritual, borrowing the power of the gods in the ritual, to go to a distant place and find an opportunity to redeem our homeland."

"After we left, I didn't see any of my companions, I was caught in a dark and empty world, and I kept moving forward in that world."

"But there, without boundaries, without direction, I don't know how long I stayed there, until your kindness broke through the void and darkness of the world and brought hope to the humble me."

"I came to you on the path of heaven that you created."

As he spoke, Mahal gradually raised his head again,

He didn't dare to peek into the Great Being, but only looked around with his peripheral vision.

Then, he saw pedestrians passing by, and saw what was presumably the street and the residence.

It's a peaceful and orderly world.

Mahal's gray eyes shone brightly, and then he saw the faces and gestures of the passers-by.

Then he became excited, and seemed to see what he had been looking for, even if he suppressed it, he couldn't control the emotions in his eyes and his trembling body.

He even stopped talking to Jing Chen, turned his head, and looked at the ordinary pedestrians passing around,

Then, the agitation turns into more complex emotions, worry, excitement, and even nervousness.

"It's ...... Kingdom of the Saints ......"

He muttered, uncertain.
