After Ai Weili's mobile phone was dialed off the cash register and disappeared silently on the other side, after several seconds, Ai Weili did not hear anything again.

There was no more of her brother's persistent, faint voice; There was also no sound of the phone hitting the ground.

It's as if it's falling into a black hole.

She kept staring at the space behind the cash register, not knowing what she was waiting for, let alone what she was thinking. There was no way she could force herself to bypass the checkout counter and see how the phone was doing—how was Aiweid.

What just happened may be just a trick. Vero had said that strange things only happened in this town, and it was only the sound that was transmitted to Ived in Wild Deer Town, and it stands to reason that those weird and strange things could not be touched.

Although he chose ...... He chose that one baby, not Ai Weili.

What finally woke her up was a gentle tug on her wrist.

"We should go," Vero whispered, "maybe, it's a trick to trick you into staying...... When you get out, you can call him again. ”

Be...... Yes, it is too dangerous to continue to stay in this place; Ai Weili wiped his cool, wet face vigorously, nodded, quickly took the key from his coat pocket, and prepared to lock the back door.

Vero suddenly grabbed her. Ai Weili was taken aback, and when he thought something had happened again, he met those shiny eyes.

"I know," she whispered, "because one has no way of choosing what kind of family one is born in...... We will be alone. ”

If Ai Weili didn't turn around in time and walk to the back door, she was afraid that she would cry - now was not the time to be vulnerable.

"Have you ever wondered why those things don't continue to do things to the end?"

Presumably to distract her, Vero asked.

"For example, when you walk through the 'dark zone', you don't come across, right?" "Also, the woman who sat at the table is gone, and if they hold on any longer, they'll be like the paper man, and they'll have to catch us, and we'll probably be dead by now." ”

Ai Weili wiped her eyes, not knowing why she could be sharp when facing Vero. Her eyes hung on the lock of the door, and she said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "You don't want to give them ideas, okay, you want to be their life coach?" ”

"But it's really weird."

"It's kind of weird. Maybe it's not that they don't want to continue, but for some reason, there is no way to continue. ”

"What is the reason?" Vero asked immediately.

"Then we'll have to ask them. But personally, if I don't see those things tonight again for the rest of my life, then even if I don't know the answer, it's okay......" Ai Weili smiled and greeted her, "The door is locked, we can finally leave this hellish place." ”

Vero didn't have the slightest intention of staying for half a minute, and strode after him.

"Where are you going next?" She asked.

Ai Weili didn't have an answer, the outside world was so big, but there seemed to be no place for her and where she could go.

She said with some difficulty, "I'll leave tonight...... I always felt a little weird. Why is it safe outside, but there are still ...... in the store? And also? I don't want to venture back to my apartment, so I can go wherever I go. ”

She can wait until tomorrow daytime to come back and get her things, or she can simply leave them alone.

Ai Weili said, stopping at the gate and turning the "open" sign on one side, so that the "resting" side was facing outward—this was the last bit of responsibility she could fulfill. She reached for the door, but she didn't pull it, and she couldn't help but "Huh? "Yes.

Vero was silent.

"I can't open the door," she said, a little uneasy.

"Don't open the door," a voice whispered through the crack in the door.

Ai Weiliton stopped.

She tensed all over. They faced the glass door, and through their vague reflection on the glass, Ai Weili could see the diners across the road, the street lamps, and the occasional passing car, but they couldn't see what was talking outside the glass door—there was no one outside.

"It's weird, isn't it," the voice sounded, as if an adult was deliberately voicing a child or an animal. "Didn't they try their best to trick you into opening the door before? You knew then that opening the door would be bad, but why do you want to open the door now? ”

"What should I do?" Ai Weili stared at the road outside the glass gate, and asked Wei Luo beside him in a breathless voice, "Shall we go back first?" ”

However, Vero did not react.

Was she stunned?

Ai Weili was about to turn his head to see if she was okay, but his attention was caught by the voice outside the door: "It's because Wei Luo told you that she went out once, and it was safe outside, and you believed her, so you came to open the door, right?" ”

What does that mean?

After a brief silence, she whispered, "You want to separate us?" What are you? ”

Vero beside him did not move or speak; Even if she couldn't hear the sound coming from outside the door, she should have realized that Ai Weili had been standing at the door and had not moved, so why did she not react?

"I'm not something that a living person can see," the voice sounded like a pinch of needles together. "But I don't mean to hurt you, I'm here to warn you of the weird things that will help you, haven't I had them before? As for whether you believe me or not, it's up to you to decide. ”

Ai Weili immediately thought of the telephone.

Outside the door, a car drove by, and the taillights shone red in the night.

"Why did she come back so quickly?" The voice continued, "You were caught in Apan's attention at that time, you didn't watch her go out and you couldn't see what happened to her on the way after she walked out of the convenience store, did you?" The one who went out was indeed a living person, the real Vero, and the person who came in after ten minutes was no longer the Vero who walked out. Her life has long been over. ”

"If you think about it, the warning she heard on the phone was actually just her own statement, right? You didn't hear anything, and even if she was lying, you couldn't tell, could you? ”

"That's just what you're saying"

"yes, yes, I'm talking. But don't you always score high in logic? Think about it, if the warning on the phone is fake, then Vero is lying to you; If the warning on the phone is true," the voice seemed to lick its gums. "Then you have been separated, and you have disobeyed the warning, and misfortune will naturally befall you."

She suddenly understood.

"So, regardless of whether the warning on the phone is true or not, you shouldn't believe Vero at this time, this is the simplest logical reasoning, right?"

Ai Weili wanted to move, and wanted to turn his head to look at Wei Luo beside him, but his neck seemed to freeze; It's as if her body has its own claims—as long as you don't look, you won't know; If you don't know, it doesn't happen.

The voice sighed softly.

"Vero is a poor man, too. After her life was suddenly cut off, she returned to this convenience store in a daze. At first, she didn't know that she was no longer a 'person', and when she saw that you were about to be devoured by something else, she came to her rescue you, and at that time, she didn't understand why. ”

Why? Ai Weili opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.

"At that time, she thought she saved you just because she wanted you to live, but she didn't. She was so that you could survive, and she tricked her out of the store and experienced what she had experienced before. You see, she has never had friends, no real 'soulmate' friends. When she meets a possible friend, even if it is to make the other person suffer the same fate as herself, so that she can gain a real 'friend'. ”

"It's out there now," it said slowly, though it didn't have a body, but it sounded like it licked its gums, "and it's full of all kinds of weird things, all waiting for her to take you out." If you look through the glass door, do you see the diners across the road, the lights of the street lights, the cars passing by the road, are they exactly the same as the first time you see them after the darkness disappears? ”

Be.

It's been almost an hour, but the diners on the other side are still the same people, the same actions, eating the same dishes; Every once in a while, the same car would drive by, and the taillights would glow red in the night. It's like a scene from a movie, taken down and played over and over again.

Vero walked into such a night and returned.

How did she do it?

"Wei Luo" Ai Weili stared at the crack in the door, and said in a trembling voice: "You, can you say a word?" ”

There was still a deathly silence around him.

"She can't." A thin voice through the crack in the door said, "To be able to remind you, this moment I created is independent of time. After this conversation of ours, it seems to others to be just a blink of an eye, don't you believe me? ”

Ai Weili bit her lip and didn't make a sound—she was afraid that as soon as she spoke, she wouldn't be able to control whether she was asking questions or screaming.

"You should always trust yourself, right? I was almost tricked into opening the door, but I woke up in time and knew that you were the one who couldn't open the door. The voice whispered, as if inspiring a child facing a problem. The person who can now see the reflection of 'Vero' on the door is also you. ”

Yes, reflections

Ai Weili subconsciously turned his gaze a little, and his eyes stayed next to his reflection, which was where Wei Luo should cast his reflection.

Vero's eyes, those that were once as bright as fawns, were also looking back at her.

The difference is that Vero's head and neck have been twisted into an angle that a living person can't do; Those eyes, at this time, were looking at Ai Weili from the bottom to the top from the position of his chest, as if he was still silently crying for help.
