Shen Zicheng

"I always feel... I seem to lose time recently." I muttered.

"..."

"When I come back to my senses, I always stay in some strange places."

"..."

"I'm... I finally have the appearance of a lonely ghost?"

"You..." Chen En finally spoke, "It doesn't matter whether you look like a lonely ghost or not, what matters is... I want to sleep now, can you stop talking under my bed?"

His voice pierced the bed and reached my ears.I was wondering if reaching up with a hand like this might make him jump.

"Okay." I agreed and sent a hand out of the bed, "Good night."

As I expected, he jumped up.

Chen En stuffed breakfast into his mouth, even ignoring his favorite morning news.

I looked at his dark circles and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Although I scared him so much that he didn't sleep well all night.

Logically speaking, Chen En, who is basically used to having a ghost floating around in front of him, should not be frightened easily by me anymore - it should be like this before I left last time.

However, before I did something unknown to Shen Qiao, I seemed to have done something to Chen En.

I have some vague recollections of the frightening gesture I made when I learned some truth.In my memory, Chen En was so frightened that he rolled on the ground, shouting and chanting Amitabha Buddha.

I feel a little guilty, after all, Chen En is not a young man anymore, and it is unacceptable for him to be scared to that extent.

After breakfast, Chen En was going to work.But I'm not going to follow, because he once asked me to swear by my eight generations of ancestors not to go to the place where he works to make trouble.

In all fairness, I still feel sorry for my eight generations of ancestors.

Although I don't remember who they are.

Until the moment before leaving, Chen En kept his face livid, hurriedly took the necessary supplies, opened the door, walked out a step and then backed away, and said coldly: "If you are bored, go shopping around, don't stay in the room all the time. In my house, you are especially not allowed to go into corners." After a pause, he added in a low voice, "I...I'm helping you find that, follow-up reports after that...don't worry."

Hastily left.

In a sense, I probably have left an indelible mark on Chen En's heart.

The dead silence began to spread, and I stared at the wall clock for a while, then stared at the ground for a while.After all, it was boring, and I started to think about it.

I started to think about games that can relieve boredom even when I am alone.

Alone, ah, I’m always alone—I feel strange, remembering who said that I’m most afraid of being alone, who is——

I suddenly retracted my thoughts, froze for a while, and began to think about the current season again.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and it's still cold—you can tell by their clothes.Chen En still dressed like a ball, and said confidently that he was old and afraid of the cold.However, it seems that he still doesn't wear much, Shen——

I was stunned again, feeling that the heart of nothingness began to tremble.I consoled myself that it was a coincidence, and then I started thinking about the recent events on the news.

Every moment in the world, something unimaginable happened in the last moment. Chen En always likes to read some strange and weird reports—it’s so weird, I don’t know if there is any report on that incident, after all, there is such an exaggerated person in the sky The shape of the face, many people should have seen it, the one he created last time——

I suddenly retreated from the house to the outside without taking the stairs and accidentally fell from the fourth floor.

Fortunately it wasn't too bad.I lay on the ground, looking at the gloomy sky expressionlessly.It's going to rain, this color looks really uncomfortable, just like Shen Qiao——

I gave up in despair, opened my eyes wide, and stared blankly at the dawn of the sky, when a thunder exploded.

I tried to avoid every thought about Shen Qiao, but I failed.My mind was so flexible that I could relate completely irrelevant things to Shen Qiao, but I was not happy about it.

If I were alive, I should be pale by now.

I can't think about it any more—I think, I need to find something to do... Whether it's jumping off a building or lying on a rail, as long as, as long as there is something to do...

—but maybe...

I was a little tangled, struggling to let go of this sudden thought.

—No, no maybe, I don't want to...

——But maybe there are things there that have nothing to do with you. If you don’t look at them, you will always feel curious. Anyway, you have nothing to do now.

——But if it is something that will irritate me, then...

—but you're being stimulated now, if you don't find something to do.

——…

I was convinced by myself.

I have come to the place where I died several times, standing at the corner, I once again stared at the cliff that did not leave the impact mark.

It started to rain.The rain penetrated through my body, and I stretched out my hand, and I could clearly see the raindrops falling from my palm.

I was a little lost, and slowly turned around, looking at the place where the road continued to extend.

I never thought of going there, and although I can't remember what it was, I thought it was just like my other memories, which disappeared with my body's death.

But once I saw Shen Qiao coming from there, I subconsciously felt that the place over there should be related to me——

I began to waver again, hesitating whether to go or not.I wonder what's there, but I'm afraid to see something related to my past.

It's all here... I think this sentence can always help me make up my mind.

So I turned sideways, raised my feet and was about to walk towards the place where the road extended.But before that, I saw a car crashing straight towards the cliff.

"...The road is bad, and the turns are sharp, and it rains a lot this time of year, and the car skids..."

What the old man said is true.

I rushed to the car.The front of the car has been dented exaggeratedly, the airbag has deployed, and the owner's head is blocked tightly, only his head is covered with blood.

Passed out.I looked up and looked around.The nearest settlement is about [-] meters away, and some residents who heard the loud noise have already walked out of their homes and are looking over here.

Some people started running over, and others were calmly calling emergency services.

I suddenly felt that this person was really lucky, at least someone was going to save him when something happened.I started thinking: how did I die?Because the injury was so serious, he left the world before reaching the hospital?So—why did it cause such a serious injury, so serious that it was too late to seek medical attention?

I looked at the bruises made by the car in front of me.It smashed its head into the cliff, and some debris fell around, or on the car.

Even with such a violent impact, it does not appear that the owner of the car was injured so badly as to be beyond treatment.I think.Then... what happened to me?Could it be that in my car accident, the car crashed more violently?

"I didn't expect your reaction to be faster than mine." As I was thinking hard, I heard a vaguely familiar voice coming from my side.

I turned my head and saw a pair of red eyes.

"I rushed over as soon as I noticed it. I didn't expect you to be faster than me, which made me feel a little bit frustrated." The man in black smiled coquettishly, as if he was waiting for my arrival. answer.

I focused on his face, searching my memory as best I could.They've been knocked over again and are now in a messy mess, and I think it's going to take a lot of work to put these messy, incomplete, not-so-pleasant memories in order.

"...July and a half, or Xiaoqi." The smile on the red-eyed man's face didn't even decrease.

Smiling tiger.I suddenly thought.

Thanks to him, I remembered such a ghost, and then looked up and down his seemingly unharmed body in amazement. "...Are you alive?"

Qiyue said with a smile: "No, just let yourself leave quickly... Do you want to learn? It's a very good way to escape, when you meet those guys."

"Thanks, no need." I said.

The topic stopped, and he and I were silent for a while.

"Don't you ask me why I'm here?" Soon, July and a half couldn't help asking again.

I glanced at him, then at the chaos in front of me, and said, "What are you doing here?"

"It's so perfunctory..." Qi Yueban muttered, and then laughed, "People are dying here, let me see if I can—" He paused for a long time, and then continued, "Can I know more people? friend."

"It's so perfunctory." I imitated his words.Tilting his head, he watched the owner of the car being dragged out of the car, and said, "It seems that no one can die here."

"Not necessarily." Qiyue smiled mysteriously, looking deeply at the front of the car.

I followed his gaze and saw a dark liquid seeping slowly and silently from among the broken machinery.

"……Wow?"

While I was sighing like this, the explosion sounded the sky.
