The portrait in the black-and-white photo looked out of the photo and called his parents.

It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door, and Takashi opened the door, and on the other side of the door was the Shadow World.

Without waiting for his mother to speak, he entered the shadows, and did not forget to close the door when he left.

With the help of black-and-white photos, Gao Ming smoothly came to the No. 4 courtyard of Minlong Street in the shadow world.

He appeared without warning, and scared the two villagers guarding the door of the corridor half to death, thinking that it was a fierce ghost invasion.

One of them reacted very quickly, grabbed a rope from the wall and shook it desperately, and the bell in the building rang incessantly.

The sound of noisy footsteps came from upstairs, the darkness spread in the corridor, and Wei Dayou, who was holding a weapon, led the villagers to hurry to arrive.

"Don't panic, it's me, my own people."

After seeing Gao Ming, Wei Dayou did not relax at all, and asked Gao Ming several questions in a row, and only after making sure that Gao Ming had not been replaced, did he dare to approach.

"! You're scaring us to death! Wei Dayou gave Gao Ming a punch in the shoulder: "This ghost place is all incredibly terrifying and weird, you really chose a good home for us!" ”

"Where's Big Brother Blind?" Gao Ming found that the villagers respected Wei Dayou very much, and knew that Dayou had gained their trust.

"He's resting." Wei Dayou asked the two villagers to continue to guard, and he took Gao Ming and his parents with cakes to the fourth floor: "Come on, what kind of cake do you bring?" But we are really short of food and water right now. ”

An An's house was set up as a command room by Wei Dayou, and their hand-drawn maps were posted on the walls, which were marked with various information, among which the supermarket close to Courtyard No. 4 was highlighted and circled.

Closing the door, when there were only Gao Ming and Wei Dayou in the house, Dayou's face showed "fear" and "worry": "Brother, the situation is not very optimistic now. ”

Wei Dayou took out a list from the drawer and handed it to Gao Ming: "There are now 67 survivors in Building No. 4, including 32 villagers from Lianwan Village, 5 displaced people from the resettlement center, 20 students, and 10 investigators. More than half of the 67 people were invaded by the shadows and could never leave the shadow world again. ”

"Invading by shadows?"

"This can happen after spending a lot of time in the shadow world, or after being touched by a ghost." Wei Dayou lifted his sleeves, and there was a ghost pattern on his arm that was not very obvious, like a giant dog: "Similar to this situation, I am planted in the body by the blind brother, which can be regarded as a kind of shelter he gave me." ”

"You go on." Takamei stared at the map inside the house.

"When people die here, they become shadows and merge with the world. In order to survive here, we have to find ways to eat and drink. Wei Dayou pointed to the supermarket on the map: "There are too many living people, so we took that supermarket as a target last night, trying to carry out some food." ”

"Is there a ghost hidden in the supermarket?"

"Yes." The horror in Wei Dayou's eyes almost overflowed: "That supermarket itself is a ghost!" A big ghost who eats people! None of the people who went in to move things yesterday came out! ”

Standing at the window, it took a long time for Wei Dayou to calm down: "Every building here is not safe, it looks very calm, and once you enter it, it will trigger some unknown." We're trapped in Courtyard No. 4 now, and we don't dare to go out at all. With so many survivors, eating and drinking are all problems, and if you can't get food, you'll die. ”

Wei Dayou said about the predicament in the building, these villagers and students who were used as sacrifices, they were invaded by the shadows, they could not return to reality, but it was difficult to survive in the shadow world, and their fate seemed to be doomed.

When a catastrophe breaks out, there will be more and more citizens like this.

The cold and damp darkness spread in the house, and an incomparably huge black dog quietly emerged from the shadows, his dark eyes reflected the figure of Gao Ming, and a dull voice came out of his stomach: "This area is even more dangerous than where I originally lived, and seven survivors merged into the shadow world last night alone. ”

"I'll find a way to solve the supermarket problem." Gao Ming sat in a chair: "I have a question, does everything in the shadow world correspond to reality?" If I change what's on the shelves in reality, will the shelves in the shadow world change as well? ”

"No, the shadow world seems to be frozen on the night of the Midyear Festival, and I don't understand why this happened, that night seems to have some kind of impact on both the shadow world and reality." The big dog observes the world with his heart, and he can find everything that others can't notice: "Unless some of the buildings of the two worlds are deeply integrated, they can't be changed by the way you said." ”

"Loop repeat freeze frame?" Gao Ming secretly remembered the blind man's words, and did not continue to delve into this issue: "I have some cake here, you eat it first, the supermarket ......"

Before Gao Ming's words fell, a scream came from the supermarket in the center of Minlong Street.

He and Wei Dayou looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"Has anyone else entered the world of shadows?"

"It should be investigators from the Lishan Investigation Bureau, I saw them near the supermarket when I came in." Gao Ming grabbed the long hair on the big dog's body: "Why don't we two go in and have a look?" ”

"What does it have to do with me?" The big dog crouched on the ground and shook his head.

"You don't need to do anything, you just need to pick me up outside and take me away when I come out." Gao life leaned on the big dog: "Everyone sits in the same boat, blessings and hardships are shared, and no one can escape." ”

Under the soft grinding and hard bubble of high life, the big dog finally agreed.

"I'll call a few more nimble minds to come in with you." Wei Dayou ran out of the room and walked over with two newcomers from the Eastern District Investigation Bureau and two veteran team members who were entangled in shadows: "After Qingge was killed, they are willing to atone for their crimes, and I also want to give them a chance." ”

"Okay."

Everyone was armed and walked out of the fourth courtyard.

The Minlong supermarket is more than ten meters away, and the two sides are separated by a road.

From the outside, the supermarket was no different from the ordinary supermarket on the street.

"I'll go in first." Gao Ming put the black and white photo in his pocket and slowly walked to the main entrance of the supermarket.

He could clearly hear the screams, but standing outside, he couldn't see anything unusual in the supermarket.

"It's not a big supermarket, and if the investigators weren't restricted in their freedom, I should be able to see people running for their lives in the supermarket."

Taking a deep breath, Takami gestured to the big dog, and he entered the supermarket.

Looking at the roll-up door that seemed to be malfunctioning overhead, the field of vision suddenly darkened a lot, as if it was completely dark.

The sound of the clock ticking in my ears came to my ears, and I looked at my surroundings to see all the light in the supermarket coming from a few white electric rods on the ceiling and a 25-inch monitor.

The blood-stained display was now scrolling with a line of red letters – please enter the staff break room in a minute.

"Let's do what it says." Gao Ming quickly ran around the supermarket, all the goods were neatly arranged, there was no blood stains and corpses on the ground, and there were no traces of a fight, where did those investigators go?

It took more than ten seconds for Gao Ming to find the staff lounge, and he shook the doorknob, only to find that the door had been locked from the inside.

Time passed quickly, and Gao Ming knocked on the door: "Who's inside?" ”

Holding the last photo, Gao Ming glanced back at the display, he didn't have time to hesitate, and kicked the door lock.

The door shook, and when it seemed that it couldn't last long, the door of the lounge was finally opened, and several newcomers from the Lishan Investigation Bureau opened the door.

They looked at Gao Ming outside the door, one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy, but the expression on Gao Ming's face softened.

These newcomers to the Bureau of Investigation, who don't even have a black ring, had entered a phobic anomaly with him, and now they met in another anomalous event.

"Is that you? How did you end up here? ”

Zhu Miaomiao, who was hiding behind the door, walked out with a fire axe, she recognized Gao Ming, this sixth man was originally preparing to ambush the ghost.
