Chapter 25: The Pattern of Sound

Before the voice died down, the last words it said were: "Don't let 'Vero' find out, you already know the truth." ”

What else would happen?

Obviously terrified, Ai Weili couldn't take his eyes off the broken reflection of Wei Luo's neck. She was about to ask, but Verro's reflection suddenly flickered, and then it had returned to its normal, familiar appearance—he was now turning his head towards herself, his neck still properly supporting his head.

Ai Weili knew that it meant that the voice was gone.

"Ai Weili?" Vero was about to stretch out his hand to push the door, but after glancing at her, he hesitated to take it back, and finally didn't push the door himself. "What's wrong with you, why are you standing still?"

Her attitude sounded so natural, as if the two of them had not stood motionless in front of the door for several minutes just now, and it seemed that the voice was right, and it seemed to others that it was only the blink of an eye.

She can't open the door and go out, and she can't realize that she already knows the truth

Ai Weili pressed his hand tightly on his lap, and gasped to avoid making them tremble, and then turned his head towards Vero.

The skull hangs down on one side of the chest after it has not been twisted off; Vero, who was a little taller than her, was still the same as she had been not so long ago. After a night of running to resist and take care of herself, her hair was unkempt, her skin was slightly red, and her lips were a little parched. So close, she could see the tiny freckles on Vero's cheekbones.

What remains unchanged is still Vero's eyes, like night stars, not lost in the night.

Vero always seemed brighter and warmer than the others; Even at times like these.

Ai Weili was not stupid, and an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded outside the door telling her that Wei Luo was actually dead, and she naturally would not take it all immediately; But that didn't stop her from being cautious and cautious—at least, she could wait.

What came out of her mouth was a true sentence: "I am afraid." ”

"Afraid of what?" Vero was stunned, and his tone softened a little. "I've already been out once, look at me, isn't it okay? Let's go, what are we doing in this store? ”

"I'd better wait until dawn before leaving, or I'll not worry. What if you just happened to be lucky last time? Ai Weili wanted to laugh, but her cheeks were so heavy that she couldn't move, as if she was going to cut off her breathing. It's almost now, and in a few hours, it's going to be dawn, and generally, these ghosts and supernatural things will disappear completely when the sun appears, right? ”

Outside the glass gate, at a barbecue restaurant across the road, a girl with a ponytail laughed when she heard her friend say something — she remembered it; I don't know how many times this is tonight.

"But is it insured in-store?" Vero's eyes widened and he said, "Think about it, we haven't experienced enough in this store?" How is it that the outside is more dangerous than the inside? The thing that just took the phone ......"

"I've survived the store," Ai Weili said, and only then did he realize that he was talking about "me", not "we". Such a subtle difference, Vero fortunately did not seem to notice; She paused, then continued, "At least we know how to get out of the store and get outside, we don't even know what we're going to encounter. ”

"But I really don't want to spend the night in a convenience store! There are still hours until dawn. Vero was very unhappy and lamented, "I am already in good health, but I am in pain all over my body, especially my neck, which somehow seems to be about to break." I miss my bed so much."

She tilted her head and rubbed her neck vigorously as she spoke.

Ai Weili remembered that since Wei Luo returned to the store, he had been rubbing his neck unconsciously.

"So, why don't you go home first?" She whispered, "I don't have a place to go until dawn when I'm gone, and I really don't want to go into the upstairs apartment." ”

"What are you talking about," Vero scratched her with the roll of his eyeballs, visibly annoyed, "Didn't I just say that the warning on the phone told us not to separate?" You're telling me to go home now, and you've forgotten all about the attack? ”

Ai Weili smiled reluctantly. "Then let's wait until dawn?"

"Do I have a choice? If you refuse to leave, and I can't be separated from you, I'm just unlucky. ”

Vero was clearly reluctant to stay in the convenience store - on the other hand, if she was a real living person, it seemed like a matter of course: after all, she had personally stepped out of the store and seen the normal, safe world outside, and was almost ready to return to that world; At the last moment, she was stopped by Ai Weili and had to stay in a convenience store full of unknown threats, how could she be happy?

Ai Weili couldn't tell whether she wanted to return to the normal world or trick her out, but she was too frightened to take any action.

"You're as stubborn as a she-donkey," after the two of them had argued a few words with each other's stubbornness, Vero angrily scolded her, "No matter, if you want to stay, you let it go, I'm really tired, I can't stand it, I'm going to sleep." ”

Maybe it was because she couldn't get angry, or maybe it was because she wanted Ai Weili to relax her vigilance, she actually made a bed for herself.

The so-called "bed" is actually a place that even the homeless can't look down on: Vero stuffed several packs of tampons into a plastic bag and tied them, even if it was a pillow; She took down all the magazines again, spread them on the floor, and placed them in the open space in front of the cash register to use them as mattresses—even though Ai Weili reminded her that the female star on the cover of the gossip magazine used to be weird, Vero was unmoved, but covered it with a piece of cardboard from the crate.

"Good night," she had already taken away Ai Weili's coat and draped it over her body as a quilt, and turned around angrily, leaving only Ai Weili with a back.

"I'll let it go," Ai Weili whispered, looking at the back of her head.

"You'd better be, or I'll not let you go." She said without looking back.

How can a person who is so angry and so lively and agile be "cut off" as the voice said?

Maybe she couldn't explain the matter of "opening the door", and she didn't know how the reflection on the door was formed, but at this moment, the one who was so close to her and the heat dyed her fingertips warm, should obviously be a "person"; A person who believes in Ai Weili and can sleep peacefully even in such an environment.

"Every thing that attacks you, or tries to attack you, has its own 'pattern'."

That thin voice sounded from between the two bowls of instant noodles on the opposite shelf, and said to Ai Weili faintly.

Ai Weili was startled, almost jumped on the spot, and hurriedly looked back at Vero, who was still facing away from her, as if he hadn't heard the voice.

"Those things can't go beyond their own 'mode' and attack you." The voice whispered, "Well, it's like the 'Earth Bound Spirit' can't follow you everywhere like the 'Back Spirit', the same thing. Although there are no ghosts in this world. ”

Ai Weili looked at the male star in the two bowls of instant noodles in a daze, and froze two identical smiling faces at her.

"When you're unlucky enough to fall within the reach of their 'mode', even if it's only a part, you'll see strange things like the long-haired woman at the table, who is still sitting there, but harmless. Because only people who don't know about her existence will be led by the voice she makes, and when her existence is known, she can no longer speak out against that person. ”

Ai Weili couldn't help but glance in the direction of the dining table, but her vision was blocked by the shelves.

"Why are you telling me this?" She asked quietly.

The voice didn't answer her directly, but continued: "As for me, my 'pattern' is to tell them the truth in a way that makes it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. But the way I acted, my voice, and even what I said, it sounded suspicious and scary, including this paragraph, and what I said always made people suspect that I had ulterior motives, so even if I told the truth, people might not believe me. ”

Ai Weili didn't expect the other party to be so self-aware.

"But believe it or not, creating a dilemma for others that they don't know whether to believe me or not, and it's hard to choose, that's my 'model'." The thin voice laughed and said in a low voice, "Vero's 'mode' is also gradually taking shape." ”

In the dead silence of the store, it sighed softly.

"From the time she first died, her 'pattern' was secretly predestined. She is Vero, a generous, natural, outspoken, and extroverted Vero. No matter where you walk in society, you can make people trust. When she follows her instincts and begins to hunt, she will not even be the slightest suspicious, like a small sun, burning with vitality and attracting the infinite trust of others. ”

It seemed to be envious, and said softly; "Her 'model' is just the opposite of mine."

How could there be such a ridiculous and unfalsifiable statement, Ai Weili almost wanted to roar and laugh for a while; She tilted her head and opened her mouth, unable to make a sound.

She realized that there was only one person in this world, and she wanted to rush to the other party, tell her about it, laugh and scold together, but she couldn't say it to Vero.

"I have one last piece of advice for you." The voice said slowly, "'Vero' isn't quite one of us yet. She's still in the confusion of forming, so you still have a chance to escape, and when she finally takes shape, it's too late. You don't go through the gate, go through the back door, the thing that killed Vero last time is limited by the 'mode' at this time, and it can't attack you anymore. Now you sneak out the back door while 'Vero' is not conscious, and you still have a chance to survive. I know that you think the back door is dangerous, but if you don't recommend going through the back door, how can it make me look difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and have ulterior motives? ”

"Back door?" Ai Weili couldn't help but tighten his body a little, "You say this just to make me believe you, right?" ”

"No, no, you see, when you realize that I may be trying to gain your trust, don't you trust me again?" The voice smiled softly and said, "Delivering the truth in a suspicious way is my 'pattern'." ”

These were the last words it said to Ai Weili.

After that, Ai Weili waited for several minutes, and all he could hear was the sound of Wei Luo's even, long breathing behind him.

I bought my daughter a low-calorie cat food for fat cats, and her reaction was the same as that of a fat man looking at boiled vegetables, and she didn't smell it......
