Ring of Seven [Online Version]

At both ends of the story, Zhou Jue’s family Mo Min miraculously brought a weird black cat, but when Fat San arrived home, he found that there was something missing in the house—an old photo, which was when he used to go to the Qiantang River to play with Zhou Jue. A photo of the four of them together.He put it under the table glass.Because at that time he was not as fat as he is now, so he could look down at the photos from time to time to find some psychological comfort.Now this psychological comfort inexplicably disappeared.

He asked his mother, but was told that no one had touched his bedroom, so the photos disappeared and there was nothing to do.Fat San didn't tell Zhou Jue about this, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

On the other side, Thin Monkey took a sleeper train to his hometown in Liaoning. The bus was bustling with people. Thin Monkey was actually quite courageous, he was the boldest and calmest among them.But even so, he was a little panicked, sitting on the seat of the train, smoking a cigarette, unable to forget everything he had posted in the past few days. He made a phone call to Zhou Jue and Fat San. They said nothing special happened.But from the tone of his voice, he could tell that the two of them had more or less discovered something unusual.It's just that no one wants to admit it first, and he is also quietly waiting for what he is about to meet.

Thin Monkey's real name is Hou Xiaowei, and his Manchu name is Akton, which means firm and strong.But the thin monkey is not strong, but very strong.His stature is too short, so many people see him and think he is only in high school at most.This made him extremely inferior. He has practiced martial arts since he was very young and has participated in competitions. Compared with those amateur karate players, he can be regarded as a real advanced player.As long as anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks about his height, he will make him a pig.So he firmly believes that nothing physical can hurt him, but he pays special attention to those mysterious things.He believed in ghosts and gods, the most among these few people.

The station stopped at the station again, and the person in the bunk next to him squeezed out with a huge suitcase.The man greeted the thin monkey and disappeared into the crowd.

After a moment of silence, another man entered.He was tall and thin, wearing a blue-gray jacket and navy blue trousers.He looks like a cultured person, very refined, he only holds a green travel bag in his hand, he is really much more chic than the buddy who runs the order gang in front of him.

The man was very indifferent, he didn't look at the thin monkey, walked to his bunk, took out a cup from the bag, and took out a bag of tea from the compartment.He went out, and after a few minutes, he made a cup of tea, sat back in his seat, and stared straight at the scenery outside the window, as dull as a statue.

In this way, the man maintained a posture, facing the window, until the sun set, he blinked his eyelids a few times, and then took a sip of the cold tea.The thin monkey didn't intend to observe others, he just felt that his movements and expressions were too monotonous. If he didn't breathe, he would really think he was a dummy.

The thin monkey looked at the time. It was time for dinner. He bought instant noodles in advance, and he could eat them as soon as the hot water was poured. The man smelled the aroma of instant noodles and blinked a little. Sell ​​bento.The man stood up slowly, he walked very slowly, the conductor had gone a long way before he called to stop him, the conductor had to back up in front of him, he bought a box of bento, paid for it, and then walked very slowly Walked to the seat, opened the lunch box and began to eat in small bites. If it was a woman, it might be very quiet, but for a man, eating so slowly gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

The thin monkey frowned, the food was cold in the end, the man had cold tea and rice, but he didn't mind at all, the thin monkey was already lying on the bed reading a magazine.He just finished eating and packed his lunch box.The thin monkey looked at his phone, he ate for two and a half hours.From 05:30 to 07:30, it is estimated that the wedding banquet should be finished.

The man took out a white handkerchief and wiped his mouth. The thin monkey had very good eyesight. He saw the funeral home's printing on the handkerchief. This man probably worked in the funeral business.

The dull and slow man finally realized that the thin monkey had been secretly looking at him, so he stopped and met the thin monkey's eyes.Stiffly withdrew a smile, and the thin monkey felt that he might as well be normal without smiling.

People smiled at you, so you have to reply anyway.The thin monkey coughed and said, "Brother, where are you going?"

The man's face, which had been calmed down, had a very happy smile.He said, "Go to Nanjing."

The thin monkey was stunned for a moment, this train is going to Liaoning, but the density of railways in Liaoning is the highest in the country.So maybe he will go on other sites.Thinking so, the thin monkey also looked at the scenery outside the car window.

The autumn night has become a bit darker, and the sky is so dark that only a few blurred lights can be seen, and it is not known whether it is lights or stars.Because it is too low, the moon cannot be seen. In such darkness, the thin monkey can only see the shadow in the car through the glass window, just like the reflection of another space.There is another self in that space, also sitting on the train, staring blankly at the glass window, looking at another self in the glass.These two are different people, they have different minds.

The thin monkey's nerves were not so delicate in the past, and he was wondering what happened today, why so many strange associations popped up in his mind.He smiled self-deprecatingly, and prepared to continue reading the magazine.

At this moment, the "wooden" man actually asked, "Where are you going?"

The thin monkey hurriedly recovered from his daze. The man's voice was very soft, as if he had a cold, or he seemed to be ventriloquizing from his stomach. The thin monkey turned around and said to the man: "Liaoning, the end of this train. Just stand."

The man pulled out an unnatural smile, and the thin monkey found that it was better for him to keep a blank face.The man smiled and said, "The terminal of this train is Nanjing."

Skinny Monkey's first reaction was to touch the ticket. He suspected that he had taken the wrong bus.But he just remembered that he had asked the train conductor specifically when checking the tickets, and he said to the man with a dry smile: "This car is going to Liaoning, you must have done something wrong. Why don't you ask the conductor now, maybe Tickets can also be exchanged."

The man didn't accept Shouhou's proposal, he just stared out of the car window, and then stopped talking to Shouhou.The thin monkey made fun of it, he spat in a low voice.He stopped talking and continued to read car magazines.

The man sat across from him and didn't say a word. The thin monkey put down the magazine and wanted to go to the bathroom.He walked to the aisle. At this time, almost all the people were sleeping on the bunks, and they would not stay in the aisle even if they were not sleeping.However, the lights of the train were turned on brightly, and it seemed that they did not know how to save money and protect the environment.

Thin Monkey found someone in the toilet, so he could only lean against the car and wait.After a long time, an old woman finally came out of it.Seeing a young man guarding the toilet, the old woman pulled up her trouser belt vigilantly and underestimated a few words in accents.The thin monkey couldn't understand what she was saying.He just rolled his eyes at her back.

Thin Monkey thought to himself why the old lady was nervous, and he was not a pervert without common sense.To attack is also to attack a beautiful woman.

After going to the toilet, he found that the man was still sitting there, looking at the window, maintaining that expression of staring into the distance.This made the thin monkey feel that if this person is not depressed, he is autistic.

When the man saw him return to the bed, his eyeballs rolled slightly, like a dead fish suddenly spoofing its corpse, and then returned to the previous state.

At this time, the man said abruptly: "Do you know Nanjing and Anhui Duolinduoshan?"

Although Skinny Monkey is a university student, he is a science student. If you ask him Newton's law and the law of electricity, he may tell you the formula, but if you ask him about humanities, you might as well ask Zhou Jue and the others.

The thin monkey shook his head calmly. The man was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Old people like to go there."

The thin monkey asked strangely: "How do you explain this?"

Hearing the thin monkey's question, the man relaxed his shoulders. He leaned against the shop, his shoulders trembling and started giggling. He laughed and said, "The coffins there are very famous."

The thin monkey asked curiously, "How do you know?"

The man stopped laughing, and said, "Because I specialize in selling coffins."

When the thin monkey heard this, he unconsciously leaned back. He felt that this person was out of his mind, so he went to the bunk after cursing a word of insanity.

The man didn't continue talking, he just kept looking out of the window.The thin monkey still didn't feel sleepy, he was affected by the man who sold the coffin, and he also looked at the scenery outside the window.

In the thin monkey's mind, there are only words like black, dark and dark.After a long time, the thin monkey began to feel that this single scenery was a little strange, as if something was abnormal.He was thinking about what went wrong, and the thin monkey could find out what was wrong right away. Why did this dark window... have always been those two bright spots?

He remembered that the two bright spots he had seen before going to the bathroom were also in this position, and he had tilted his head to look at them for so long, why did the two bright spots not change at all?

The thin monkey felt a frozen chill in his tailbone, and he wiped the window guiltily.It was found that the outside scenery was indeed like a fixed set.Skinny Monkey's face stiffened instantly, and he realized that he might be in trouble.

At this moment, he found that the eyes of the man sitting on the side were not looking at the scenery, he was staring at the reflection of the glass.The thin monkey's neck was so stiff that he couldn't turn it, because he found a haggard skeleton sitting opposite him in the reflection, and this "skeleton" kept a sitting position, staring at the window.What made Slim Monkey collapse the most was that he was holding a book in his hand in the mirror!He was actually reading a book, and his eyes were very focused, reading the contents of the book to the half-decomposed skeleton opposite.

The thin monkey's eyes opened until the eye sockets hurt. He didn't know what was going on with the reflection. Finally, the self in the mirror found that the thin monkey had noticed him. He turned his head suddenly and gave him a grotesque smile. This smile is not a skinny monkey at all.The thin monkey found that this person was not himself, but he was wearing his own clothes.The person in the reflection smiled at the thin monkey and moved his body, as if he wanted to get closer to him. At this time, the thin monkey felt as if his body was approached by something. Then, the person in the mirror showed him the book stand.He clearly saw that it was "Ring of Seven".He didn't see all the other words, he only saw one sentence: He is no longer a human being.

At this time, there was a screeching sound like a scraping iron sheet from the train.Then a cold voice came out: "The final station, Nanjing, is here. Passengers, please get out of the coffin and don't miss anything. Passengers, please..."

The thin monkey finally couldn't bear it anymore, he screamed, grabbed his backpack and rushed out.The coffin seller grabbed him, and he found that the man's hands had become rotten bones.In the reflection, the man in the thin monkey clothes is very sad, like a doctor looking at a hopeless patient, with some irony in his cold eyes.The coffin seller sneered and said, "The story is not over yet..."

The thin monkey instinctively punched the man in the abdomen. He found that there was only a skeleton in his body, and he heard a click when he punched down.The thin monkey frantically shook off the withered paw, and he frantically ran out of the carriage.He found that there was still no one in the carriage, only the shining white lights, but the decoration of the carriage had completely changed.The interior of the carriage has become a wooden structure, lined with fuchsia silk.This kind of decoration is just like... the inside of a coffin!The carriage became a huge coffin!

When he realized the horror, he found a lot of red blood seeping from the wall of the carriage.A thick and foul smell filled the entire carriage.The skinny monkey was running hysterically. When he turned his head, he found that the old woman in the toilet was rolling her eyes and jumping towards him like a zombie. The long waistband was still dragging on the ground behind her. At that time, the thin monkey found that the old lady was wearing a shroud.She sticks out her tongue, and an ancient coin is stuck on her tongue, which is used to ward off evil spirits, but it doesn't seem to have any effect at all.What drove him crazy the most was the commotion in every car, and the weird whimpering sound from the originally quiet car.Several zombie-like things crawled out of it.Without exception, they all came towards the thin monkey.The entire carriage is like a Chinese version of Resident Evil.

The thin monkey frantically pulled the door, he wanted to leave here, but he forgot that he was actually on a train that was moving at a very high speed.Jumping off the car is tantamount to courting death.But waiting is courting death.

He no longer hesitated, he would rather jump off the car and die, maybe the next day's newspaper will report that a teenager jumped off the car and died.He also didn't want to be torn to pieces by these monsters.

He closed his eyes and jumped out resignedly.He fell to the ground.He couldn't get up with his own strength, he felt a lot of pain, but it wasn't as painful as he imagined, it wasn't that crushing pain.Then a cold hand grabbed him.And then... the thin monkey opened his eyes.In front of him was not Lord Yan, but a conductor with a flashlight.He was looking at him with a strange look.

The thin monkey stared at him with a terrified look, and the voice he heard was a little distorted.It was found that the voice of this conductor was very similar to that of the man who sold the coffin.He heard the conductor ask: "Student, why did you jump off the train?"

The thin monkey touched his neck and rubbed his knees.He found that he was actually unharmed, but he was still lying on the ground, and the conductor pulled him up.Skinny Monkey rubbed his eyes, he realized that he had just jumped out of the box door of a stopped train.

This car...how did it stop?

The thin monkey spoke incoherently for a long time, he didn't know what was going on.The conductor eyed him suspiciously.The thin monkey touched his head and asked, "Where is this place?"

The conductor said very suspiciously; "Shanghai South Railway Station, student, don't you want to get on the train? Where is your home? Where is your school? Have you studied? Can I show my ID card?"

When the thin monkey heard it, he realized that he hadn't left the city at all, and he hadn't gone back at all!This made his legs go limp, and he fell directly to the ground. The conductor kindly helped him up again.

The thin monkey's eyes were out of focus, and he said to himself: "Didn't leave? But...but I've been in the car for almost a day! By the way! What time is it now! Brother, may I ask what time it is now?" What month, what time?"

The conductor stared at him with a mentally disabled look, and he began to suspect that this good-looking boy was actually mentally retarded.He looked at his watch, told the time, and connected the intercom. He had to take the kid to the police station.

After the thin monkey heard the time, he staggered back a few steps. He understood that he had spent the whole day in this train that was not driving at all. He suddenly thought of something, took out the ticket stub from his pocket and handed it to the conductor, saying: "Brother, can you take a look at this ticket for me?"

When the conductor looked down, his face immediately turned black, and his voice was very low. He said: "This train had an accident five years ago. It overturned and many people died. It seems to be going to Nanjing. This carriage is now scrapped... Where did you get this ticket from?"

The thin monkey looked down and found that this ticket was actually five years ago!And the destination is actually Nanjing!He held the ticket tightly in his hand, put his backpack back several times, turned his head and rushed towards the exit.Now he wants to find Zhou Jue and the others.

After leaving the South Railway Station, Skinny Monkey found that it was already midnight. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number, waiting for the call to be connected. He patted the back of his head irritably, and walked by several hair salon girls, wanting to come forward to solicit customers.The thin monkey waved his hands and said irritably, "Damn! Get out of here."

The women left, swearing and leaving, while the phone went through.Zhou Jue just fell asleep, in fact, he couldn't fall asleep normally all night, it was almost dawn, and only then did he feel sleepy.But he was woken up by the phone call.So a little out of bed.

He gave a vague feed, only the short panting sound of the skinny monkey came from the other end of the phone.

He immediately realized that he was in big trouble, even for such a calm and calm skinny monkey. He asked anxiously, "Skinny monkey? What's the matter? Are you home?"

The thin monkey was wearing rough clothes, and he said, "What the hell. I didn't leave Shanghai at all!"

Zhou Jue fed for a long time, and after a few deep breaths, the thin monkey calmed down a little. He told Zhou Jue about the matter on his mobile phone. Zhou Jue's face darkened as he listened. He looked outside the door. Parents Already fell asleep.He said into the microphone: "You go to the school dormitory first."

Skinny Monkey cursed a curse word, he held back his great panic and anger and said, "I can't go, there must be something wrong with that old nine, I won't go."

Zhou Jue looked at the time, it was already 01:30 in the middle of the night, at this time he thought of Chen Hao.He stroked his hair and said, "Go to Chen Hao's house first. Wait for me, I'll sneak out."

After hearing what he said, the thin monkey hummed and hung up the phone. Zhou Jue quickly picked up the phone and connected to Chen Hao's number, and the other party answered the phone.

Zhou Jue said, "Hey, Brother Chen, it's me."

Chen Hao hummed, waiting for him to continue talking about his visit.Zhou Jue told the story of Shouhou, and said that it seems that Shouhou can't go back, and he hopes that Shouhou can stay with him for a while.

Chen Hao hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, and then Chen Hao said: "You also come together, there is something I have to tell you. I will wait for you."
