Ring of Seven [Online Version]
Chapter 28 The Stagnant Past
Before anyone answered, a loud noise was felt in an instant, and then the carriage began to shake violently.And began to tilt rapidly.Before the five people had time to put their luggage on their backs, the luggage on the luggage racks on both sides began to slide down from the racks.Everything happened so fast that before the five of them were ready, the compartment was suddenly pitch black, followed by violent vibrations.Then there was the sound of a large amount of luggage falling, and there was a lot of screaming around them, and it was impossible to tell how many people were injured in the darkness. Zhou Jue could only hear the crying of children, the moaning of women, and There was the shrill cry of the black cat.Maybe the cat was held down by something, Ye Wei quickly threw a few backpacks to Zhou Jue and the others, grabbed the cat and shouted: "Run!"
Zhou Jue didn't react at all, only felt that someone pulled him in the dark, and he rushed forward.Then there was a rumbling sound, and there seemed to be a large number of things falling around.He only heard Chen Hao's low hum from the side, and Zhou Jue knew that Chen Hao had been hit, so he asked guiltyly: "Brother Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Hao could barely squeeze out a sentence: "Fuck, who has a steel pipe stuffed in their luggage..."
Zhou Jue saw that Chen Hao had confidence in his words, so he was not worried that he would be crushed to death.
At that moment, they felt that the light suddenly brightened, and the surroundings returned to normal train carriages, and passengers were sitting firmly all around them, and the five of them maintained a strange half-squatting posture. It was Ye Wei who first reflected Come over, he said: "Quick! Leave here, the space will change, just now!"
Zhou Jue picked up Chen Hao, who might have been injured, and asked, "Brother Chen, are you okay. Thank you in advance."
Chen Hao nodded to indicate that he was not injured, but his shoulder might have been hit.He glanced at Zhou Jue and said, "If you have time to talk nonsense like this, it's better to run for your life with all your might."
They stooped and supported the stool on the side to move to the carriage at the other end.Before I walked a few steps, I felt the lights creaking, and the scene actually changed once.Chen Hao rubbed his shoulders and said, "Based on memory, try to go to a place without obstacles. Now we can only go out by interlacing in space. Everyone follow me."
Everyone understood, but even so, things still fell from the shelves, and chairs broke suddenly, and it was extremely dangerous to take a step.Suddenly a huge travel bag fell from the shelf, but Fat San didn't have time to stop it, and it was about to fall on his head. When he shrank his head and closed his eyes, he felt something Nothing, the bag disappeared out of thin air, and looking around, it was still a quiet train, only the five of them lying on the ground.
At this time, the passengers looked at them as if they were watching performance art, pointing inexplicably, and some even ridiculed them as crazy.Zhou Jue felt embarrassed and wanted to stand up and walk.But as soon as he stood up, he found that a travel bag had fallen from beside him.Grabbing his shoulders and falling heavily to the ground, Chen Hao held him panting and said, "Don't worry about this, just move forward."
Fat San's body was already obese, and now it was too embarrassing for him to shrink into a ball and have to carry luggage.He panted heavily and said, "Where are you going? Brother, give me a goal. At least learn from Cao Cao, look forward to plum blossoms and quench your thirst. You can also lie to me, a fat man."
Chen Hao pulled Zhou Jue hard to prevent his head from being hit by the package. He said impatiently: "What a fool, the King of Hades is waiting for us underground! Now is the time when the accident happened to that car. We are lucky, we are stuck in the time gap, now try to run to the other side of the train. It is impossible for all the trains to overturn, I have checked, that train, the one near the front of the train is fine. Don’t turn back, or it will be too late! Getting smashed to death counts as gameover."
Everyone struggled to move in the gap between the trains. Sometimes it was a normal train, but sometimes it was a horrible hell on earth. There were passengers with half of their bodies under the chairs, and some wounded struggling desperately. The thin monkey thought Going to save people, Ye Wei grabbed him and said, "They died five years ago, what do you want to do?"
The thin monkey stuck with me for a long time, Ye Wei pulled the thin monkey to his side and said, "Quick, now is not the time to show kindness, if you don't want to die, just keep running." After speaking, he dragged the thin monkey and rushed forward.
Gradually they also got used to it, that is, when the light is on, it means that it is a train in 2008, but they know that such a normal situation lasts at most a few seconds, and the longest is only a dozen seconds.They ran fast, and gradually they grasped the trick, that is, whenever the light made a creaking sound and then went out, the train had deviated, and this time was the moment when two time and space alternated.They can only rely on memory to keep from being smashed or buried.
Maybe it's luck, maybe it's a hidden arrangement, in short, no one of the five people was injured except for the slight scratches of Chen Hao and Fat San. Die so easily.Just like that, they rushed out of the car where the accident happened in one breath, but what they didn't expect was that there was darkness at the other end of the car.There was no light at all.All of them were dumbfounded, and they didn't even know where this place was.
There was heavy breathing, no one asked any more questions, and everyone was exhausted.No one could be seen in the dark, Zhou Jue subconsciously wanted to confirm his companions, but when they entered this compartment, they could no longer see the way back.He looked around anxiously, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and he had to be extra careful even breathing.He felt threatened all around him.He couldn't speak out hastily, and couldn't let that unknown danger know his position, but he couldn't go on like this forever.
But in the darkness, there was always a very clear ticking sound, as if something was constantly hitting the ground.Other than that, there was no sound anymore, and no one else dared to speak out rashly. They just listened to that weird knocking sound for an unknown amount of time.Suddenly the tapping stopped.Everyone's heart stopped suddenly at that moment.Then the whole space returned to a dead silence, and there was no other sound.
Zhou Jue was terrified in his heart, he felt that the place was dark and abnormal, as if he couldn't see things, not because there was no light around him.He immediately dispelled this crazy idea, if he was blind, he would be completely finished.Gathering up his last courage, he called out in a low voice: "Chen, Chen Hao...? Are you there?"
But there was no response in the dark, Zhou Jue was a little panicked, he quickly shouted: "Fat three? Skinny monkey? Ye Wei? Are you there?"
Still no sound.
Zhou Jue stared at the darkness, and it suddenly occurred to his mind that Chen Hao finally analyzed that one of the five people might disappear.He knew he had won the bid.When he realized this, a stone in his heart fell, but what followed was a deeper panic.
He didn't know what to do, so he could only step back instinctively. After taking a few steps back, he realized that he didn't know what happened, but he actually walked out. Before he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that he had returned to the train carriage , but it's still the same as it was five years ago, but now the horrific escapade is over.There were hardly any intact chairs at the scene, and almost all the furnishings in the train were crushed and deformed.One could still see human hair beneath the mass, or pale limbs.They don't move at all, like plastic models.
Zhou Jue didn't dare to look carefully, he was afraid of seeing the dead man's face.After all, he is not a forensic doctor. Zhou Jue has the same fear and rejection as ordinary people when facing the corpse.
He walked forward carefully, holding a luck in his heart, maybe passing through another carriage, he would go back to five years later, when Chen Hao and the others would be there.
But now he has to fight alone, at least now no one can help him.
To his surprise, he actually walked out of the carriage, and there was a wasteland outside. At this time, he didn't have a backpack, food or water, and if a wild animal suddenly sprang out, he didn't even have anything to defend himself.When people reach this level, they are extremely fragile, but the strange thing is that their sensitivity is as good as that of a monkey.
Zhou Jue's ears could hear even the tiniest sound in such an extremely dead silence.Just like this, he still felt that the surroundings seemed to be frozen, and there was not even the tiniest sound.He was debating whether to get out of this train, and he intuitively thought that if he got out, he might never come back.At that time, he may be separated from Chen Hao and the others forever, and he will disappear in real life.Just when he flinched and turned around, someone suddenly pushed him from behind. Zhou Jue couldn't stand firmly, so he fell off the train all of a sudden.Just when Zhou Jue's face was about to hit the ground, he supported his body with his hands in desperation, and felt a terrible pain in his joints.He struggled to get up, wriggling his hands, maybe his muscles and bones were injured, and his forehead was in cold sweat from the pain.
He couldn't figure out who pushed him out of the car on purpose.But looking back, the car was still dead silent, and he stood where he was.This time he was really anxious, looking around like a helpless child for the first time.There was not even a trace of life in the carriage, like a huge can that had been broken.Zhou Jue felt that there was danger everywhere, and it was really a dilemma.Just as his brain was slowly being numb by such silence, he suddenly heard rustling noises from the woods not far away, like the sound of rubbing plastic bags.He was attracted by this uneasy commotion, and he felt conflicted, but he took the first step unconsciously and walked towards the woods.
He climbed out of the railway by stepping on the stones of the slope, and stumbled forward.It's only autumn now, but he feels very cold. He looked up at the sky, which was so gray that it was almost falling. Suddenly he thought of the game of Silent Hill. Up to now, he still can't understand whether the people in the game are dead or not. Live, just like he is now beginning to doubt his own life and death.
A gust of cold wind blows from the depths of the forest, as if a blower blows continuously from the opposite side.He wrapped the coat tightly around his body, but his hair was blown very messy.The season seemed to him more like winter than autumn.He gritted his teeth and pushed aside the yellow weeds, but found that there was still no one, but there were many things piled up here, including shovels, ropes, and even explosives.
There were several travel bags beside these things. He walked over and found some edible cans and some paper inside. He recognized that those things were exactly the same as the information sent to Chen Hao's parents inexplicably.He found that among these things there was a complete drawing, which was not in the data.It was a map with Chinese characters, numbers and a few English letters on it.These things formed a set of messages like maps and decoded codes, but he had no way of understanding them.So Zhou Jue chose wisely and practically to put this map directly into his bosom.Just when he was afraid that someone would find him, he heard a fierce cry, followed by arguing.
Zhou Jue thought that his actions had been discovered, but he didn't know the identities of those people.In a panic, he chose to hide in a hidden corner.He didn't have a weapon of resistance in his hand, and what he conceived in his brain was how to deal with and resist.However, there was still no figure entering his line of sight, but the voice became clearer and clearer, as if only the voice gradually entered, but the person was invisible.Zhou Jue heard voices he was familiar with amidst the noise. They were Lao Zhao and Gu Lao. Their voices were very excited. Occasionally, there would be a few words of a woman's voice. The woman's voice was very indifferent, and could even be described as cold. , Without a trace of emotion.
"What exactly do you want? We will give you information and convenience. You are just playing us in the end? You were not prepared to say anything from the beginning to the end!"
"I would say, just not now, now that thing is still there."
"Didn't you say that thing can no longer threaten us? Then why did the train overturn? And what else are you not hiding?"
"We traveled all the way, and the strange things we encountered became more and more fatal. Although you said it was fine, but that thing is in your hands, have you ever considered our feelings? Rulan..."
"Old Gu, don't talk anymore, let's go. Anyway, we already know how to avoid that thing. There is no need to take risks for her, our fate is ours, let this lunatic fend for himself."
"Hey, Jianguo, are you going with us? You will die if you stay here. Do you really believe that he has that tomb?"
"No, I will stay, I will watch her grow up, and I will trust her."
"Uncle Yin, you can go too... Maybe the road below is really out of my control."
"Girl, there's no need to say, let's go and bring your things."
"Uncle Yin, let's go..."
"Stop talking, let's go, Xiaoye is dead. I don't know if Lao Gao is still alive. If I don't give you a hand, you can't go on as a woman."
"Uncle Yin, you'd better go. If you don't go, you won't have a chance."
"Yeah, let's go. If we don't go now, we will die. We can't do it."
"Old Gu, don't worry about it, it will be too late if you don't leave!"
"Hey! You two... Hey!"
"Girl, they really left, what should we do?"
"We are very close. The amber should still be in the tomb. If we can complete the ceremony according to the original plan, then maybe we can be freed. But now there are only two of us...and he is still waiting for us. If we can't make it through, it will be too late, and at that time Gu Lao, Lao Zhao, and Gao Wei may all be targeted again immediately."
"So girl, what do you want to do?"
"Bet once, but if you lose... Uncle Yin, don't blame me. I have to create another chance. I may even lose all of you, including myself, for this."
"Girl, you don't need to say that I know, just tell me what to do?"
"Uncle Yin... Okay, let's talk about it. In order to avoid that thing, we chose the same method as the person in the book, which is to imitate death. That thing has a unique connection with death. But we have tried wearing shrouds, and we are still It doesn't work. I found that the so-called fear of death is very different from the changes of each era. Before liberation, it was basically buried in the ground. The dead were buried in shrouds and stayed in the coffin of the mourning hall for a long time. So people at that time Shrouds are far more taboo than modern people. So I chose posthumous photos, which are inseparable from modern death. I asked you to take photos of posthumous death for each of us, and sure enough, these photos really played a role. But I think the problem is not in the form. The people in the book don’t understand modern thinking, so they think that wearing a shroud is to avoid evil spirits, which is not the case.”
"What's the problem then?"
"It's the fear of death."
"That thing will only stop when our thinking reaches a certain level of fear. He wants us to be in the fear of death, that is to say, as soon as we relax our minds, or think that we are safe, then it will appear. I think For example, when you are extremely sleepy, something keeps you from falling asleep, and you can barely stay awake. This is very painful..."
"Got it, that's why we don't wear shrouds, but seeing pictures of ourselves does, because shrouds don't really do anything for us anymore. But death pictures make us think about what we'll look like after death. So We're scared. We're scared to death!" "Yes."
"Then what are you going to do girl?"
"I want to crack this ring. If I fail, I will change the law of this ring, create the greatest resistance for that thing, and then leave all the clues that can be left. The first thing is to change its additional mode of fear of death .and there is..."
Zhou Jue couldn't hear the last voice, and Chen Rulan didn't say anything.Then, Zhou Jue heard only sparse footsteps.He rushed out, only to see two blurred figures in the distance, and he saw one of them suddenly turned around and made a strange movement towards him, as if to stop Zhou Jue from advancing.It seemed to be pointing him to something.Then he turned his head, pointed to a hill in the distance, and then pointed to the ground, and she stretched out two fingers.
In a blink of an eye, those two people disappeared into the wild forest.Zhou Jue looked at the trail they left, and wrapped his thin autumn clothes tightly around his body. He felt that what Chen Rulan encountered in the end must be something very scary. He suddenly felt very cold, and the air suddenly dropped to freezing point. There was always something staring at him, just like when he first read that book.
Now he is alone in this unknown space, he doesn't know what to do, he thought about going back to the train, but he felt that something might happen to the strange car again, and those horrible corpses .
Zhou Jue glanced at the surrounding scene again, he picked up all the papers scattered on the ground, and then he found something wrapped in yellow silk among the papers, Zhou Jue held it in his hand, When he was about to open the package, he suddenly felt something touch his neck, and his back felt cold, and he heard something whispering behind him.
It was a very strange tone, like a very old local accent, Zhou Jue didn't understand, he grabbed the silk cloth in his hand, he turned his head suddenly, and found that there was nothing behind him, just the originally motionless branches Swish.Zhou Jue looked at his own shadow, and gradually realized that he had to leave here.He packed all the useful things into a bag, and he put the bag on his back and walked towards the path of the road. Anyway, it's useless for him to stay where he is now.Might as well go out and have a look.
The quieter he was, the heavier the sense of terror, the longer he walked, the more hopeless he felt.Zhou Jue looked up at the gray sky, he seemed to feel that there were snow particles falling on his face, but he didn't feel anything when he touched his face.
He has been walking, and he has crossed many forks. Every two meters, he will see a street lamp. The gray-white lamp pole is like a huge candle sticking on the side of the road. There is no moon in the sky, and it glows darkly. The gray light, it is hard to tell whether it is the light or the gray light itself from the sky.There are many weeds on the side of the road, and occasionally you can see one or two abandoned farmhouses. The crunching sound.Zhou Jue didn't stop and go into the house to rest, he would rather continue walking, living in such a place is the same feeling as camping next to a grave.
It took him nearly an hour to get out of the desolate woods and see the road.But there is not even a car on the empty road.After that, he felt that the longer he walked, the environment became darker and darker, and the off-white light could no longer penetrate the black clouds.He hesitated a little, thinking maybe he should go back, but his feet didn't stop.Reason prevents him from giving up.
Zhou Jue muttered, "I'm exhausted, and if I walk any further, my legs will be useless."
There are still those monotonous things around, the traffic signs, street lamps, and abandoned thatched huts, the temperature is getting lower and lower, Zhou Jue can't help sniffing.He quickly rubbed his hands together, trying to pull himself together. He knew in his heart that he had to continue on his way.
A long time passed, maybe an hour, maybe two hours.He couldn't think until he was gone, and he couldn't feel the changes around him.Finally, he felt that there was something faintly shining in the distance. He paused and calmed down his thoughts and spirits a little. In the distance on the left side of the road, there were indeed some faint yellow-brown light spots.This light is too inconsistent with the current atmosphere.Like a warning, he really considered whether to stop this time, and now there is not even a single person on the road, not even a car passing by on the road.It's not reliable at all that such a light suddenly appeared.But what about going back?Hide in that dilapidated house that can't even block the wind?Or back to that car full of dead people?Maybe he will meet Chen Rulan and the others, but are they still human at that time?He frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't do this evil..."
He pumped himself up enough to continue walking, and he found that he had come to a small market, which was like the streets of ordinary southern villages and towns, with blue-gray houses and black tiles.The big bluestone road is full of potholes and it is very difficult to walk.There are still many unused broken farm tools standing on the side of the road, and there are small shops selling groceries, pastries and alcohol around.There are many cardboard boxes piled up at the door, and it is hard to see what they are selling.
There are not many people, but there are still pedestrians walking on the street. These people don't even look at Zhou Jue. Zhou Jue passed by those people, but he didn't take the initiative to ask. He felt that these people looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere However, it's just that they didn't know each other in retrospect, but in fact, they didn't know each other.It's just that the inexplicable sense of familiarity makes Zhou Jue's heart cold. He feels that he has been here, drank the old wine here, shuttled and stayed in these small shops.In fact, he certainly hadn't been here.Most of those small shops were also empty, with no business at all, but a familiar scent of sorghum wine exuded from the dusty wine jars. Zhou Jue felt that this place was not only popular, but also full of coldness. breath.
He didn't know why he came to such a small village from Yelinzi. In fact, this kind of village is very common beside the road. It can be seen everywhere in the southern suburbs. There are some migrant workers who work or maintain roads, and some local Farmers, behind the village are usually small batches of farmland, growing some seasonal cooked vegetables.It's just that Zhou Jue felt that the village seemed a bit abrupt at the moment.
Suddenly he heard crying and shouting in a room in the village, the shouting was extremely hoarse, and the voice was somewhat familiar. In fact, he always felt that the people here really seemed to have seen it there before.He wanted to go over to see what happened, but suddenly someone grabbed his arm, and he turned around to find that it was actually Chen Hao.
Zhou Jue asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chen Hao said, "Come with me."
The author has something to say: Summary of the previous article: In the middle of reading, Ye Wei stopped everyone, so he concluded that the faster the pace, the more strange things will happen.Then they found that they were caught in the space-time gap between five years ago and five years later, and the environment was extremely unstable.The reason for all this is the man selling coffins that Shouhou met on the train. He was one of the last batch of seven people who died on the train. He caused this space situation...
Here I am again, here I would like to wish everyone a happy Halloween in advance, the ghost festival for foreigners is also a ghost festival.As horror and supernatural lovers, we still want to mention it.Then it is about the story. The situation of several people is becoming more and more contradictory. There will be many choices in the contradictions, and these choices will have a series of effects like a butterfly effect.But what Zhou Jue and the others are facing now is a collection of these contradictions.
Well, many friends have also made a lot of guesses in the comments, some of them are very accurate, but you have to take your time to know the ending. More to say, wait for two weeks, I will not bother.Everyone take your time, I will climb down and continue to cook, and I will wait two weeks before continuing with the next dish...
Zhou Jue didn't react at all, only felt that someone pulled him in the dark, and he rushed forward.Then there was a rumbling sound, and there seemed to be a large number of things falling around.He only heard Chen Hao's low hum from the side, and Zhou Jue knew that Chen Hao had been hit, so he asked guiltyly: "Brother Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Hao could barely squeeze out a sentence: "Fuck, who has a steel pipe stuffed in their luggage..."
Zhou Jue saw that Chen Hao had confidence in his words, so he was not worried that he would be crushed to death.
At that moment, they felt that the light suddenly brightened, and the surroundings returned to normal train carriages, and passengers were sitting firmly all around them, and the five of them maintained a strange half-squatting posture. It was Ye Wei who first reflected Come over, he said: "Quick! Leave here, the space will change, just now!"
Zhou Jue picked up Chen Hao, who might have been injured, and asked, "Brother Chen, are you okay. Thank you in advance."
Chen Hao nodded to indicate that he was not injured, but his shoulder might have been hit.He glanced at Zhou Jue and said, "If you have time to talk nonsense like this, it's better to run for your life with all your might."
They stooped and supported the stool on the side to move to the carriage at the other end.Before I walked a few steps, I felt the lights creaking, and the scene actually changed once.Chen Hao rubbed his shoulders and said, "Based on memory, try to go to a place without obstacles. Now we can only go out by interlacing in space. Everyone follow me."
Everyone understood, but even so, things still fell from the shelves, and chairs broke suddenly, and it was extremely dangerous to take a step.Suddenly a huge travel bag fell from the shelf, but Fat San didn't have time to stop it, and it was about to fall on his head. When he shrank his head and closed his eyes, he felt something Nothing, the bag disappeared out of thin air, and looking around, it was still a quiet train, only the five of them lying on the ground.
At this time, the passengers looked at them as if they were watching performance art, pointing inexplicably, and some even ridiculed them as crazy.Zhou Jue felt embarrassed and wanted to stand up and walk.But as soon as he stood up, he found that a travel bag had fallen from beside him.Grabbing his shoulders and falling heavily to the ground, Chen Hao held him panting and said, "Don't worry about this, just move forward."
Fat San's body was already obese, and now it was too embarrassing for him to shrink into a ball and have to carry luggage.He panted heavily and said, "Where are you going? Brother, give me a goal. At least learn from Cao Cao, look forward to plum blossoms and quench your thirst. You can also lie to me, a fat man."
Chen Hao pulled Zhou Jue hard to prevent his head from being hit by the package. He said impatiently: "What a fool, the King of Hades is waiting for us underground! Now is the time when the accident happened to that car. We are lucky, we are stuck in the time gap, now try to run to the other side of the train. It is impossible for all the trains to overturn, I have checked, that train, the one near the front of the train is fine. Don’t turn back, or it will be too late! Getting smashed to death counts as gameover."
Everyone struggled to move in the gap between the trains. Sometimes it was a normal train, but sometimes it was a horrible hell on earth. There were passengers with half of their bodies under the chairs, and some wounded struggling desperately. The thin monkey thought Going to save people, Ye Wei grabbed him and said, "They died five years ago, what do you want to do?"
The thin monkey stuck with me for a long time, Ye Wei pulled the thin monkey to his side and said, "Quick, now is not the time to show kindness, if you don't want to die, just keep running." After speaking, he dragged the thin monkey and rushed forward.
Gradually they also got used to it, that is, when the light is on, it means that it is a train in 2008, but they know that such a normal situation lasts at most a few seconds, and the longest is only a dozen seconds.They ran fast, and gradually they grasped the trick, that is, whenever the light made a creaking sound and then went out, the train had deviated, and this time was the moment when two time and space alternated.They can only rely on memory to keep from being smashed or buried.
Maybe it's luck, maybe it's a hidden arrangement, in short, no one of the five people was injured except for the slight scratches of Chen Hao and Fat San. Die so easily.Just like that, they rushed out of the car where the accident happened in one breath, but what they didn't expect was that there was darkness at the other end of the car.There was no light at all.All of them were dumbfounded, and they didn't even know where this place was.

He walked forward carefully, holding a luck in his heart, maybe passing through another carriage, he would go back to five years later, when Chen Hao and the others would be there.
But now he has to fight alone, at least now no one can help him.
To his surprise, he actually walked out of the carriage, and there was a wasteland outside.

He climbed out of the railway by stepping on the stones of the slope, and stumbled forward.It's only autumn now, but he feels very cold. He looked up at the sky, which was so gray that it was almost falling. Suddenly he thought of the game of Silent Hill. Up to now, he still can't understand whether the people in the game are dead or not. Live, just like he is now beginning to doubt his own life and death.
A gust of cold wind blows from the depths of the forest, as if a blower blows continuously from the opposite side.He wrapped the coat tightly around his body, but his hair was blown very messy.The season seemed to him more like winter than autumn.He gritted his teeth and pushed aside the yellow weeds, but found that there was still no one, but there were many things piled up here, including shovels, ropes, and even explosives.
There were several travel bags beside these things. He walked over and found some edible cans and some paper inside. He recognized that those things were exactly the same as the information sent to Chen Hao's parents inexplicably.He found that among these things there was a complete drawing, which was not in the data.It was a map with Chinese characters, numbers and a few English letters on it.These things formed a set of messages like maps and decoded codes, but he had no way of understanding them.So Zhou Jue chose wisely and practically to put this map directly into his bosom.Just when he was afraid that someone would find him, he heard a fierce cry, followed by arguing.
Zhou Jue thought that his actions had been discovered, but he didn't know the identities of those people.In a panic, he chose to hide in a hidden corner.He didn't have a weapon of resistance in his hand, and what he conceived in his brain was how to deal with and resist.However, there was still no figure entering his line of sight, but the voice became clearer and clearer, as if only the voice gradually entered, but the person was invisible.Zhou Jue heard voices he was familiar with amidst the noise. They were Lao Zhao and Gu Lao. Their voices were very excited. Occasionally, there would be a few words of a woman's voice. The woman's voice was very indifferent, and could even be described as cold. , Without a trace of emotion.
"What exactly do you want? We will give you information and convenience. You are just playing us in the end? You were not prepared to say anything from the beginning to the end!"
"I would say, just not now, now that thing is still there."
"Didn't you say that thing can no longer threaten us? Then why did the train overturn? And what else are you not hiding?"
"We traveled all the way, and the strange things we encountered became more and more fatal. Although you said it was fine, but that thing is in your hands, have you ever considered our feelings? Rulan..."
"Old Gu, don't talk anymore, let's go. Anyway, we already know how to avoid that thing. There is no need to take risks for her, our fate is ours, let this lunatic fend for himself."
"Hey, Jianguo, are you going with us? You will die if you stay here. Do you really believe that he has that tomb?"
"No, I will stay, I will watch her grow up, and I will trust her."
"Uncle Yin, you can go too... Maybe the road below is really out of my control."
"Girl, there's no need to say, let's go and bring your things."
"Uncle Yin, let's go..."
"Stop talking, let's go, Xiaoye is dead. I don't know if Lao Gao is still alive. If I don't give you a hand, you can't go on as a woman."
"Uncle Yin, you'd better go. If you don't go, you won't have a chance."
"Yeah, let's go. If we don't go now, we will die. We can't do it."
"Old Gu, don't worry about it, it will be too late if you don't leave!"
"Hey! You two... Hey!"
"Girl, they really left, what should we do?"
"We are very close. The amber should still be in the tomb. If we can complete the ceremony according to the original plan, then maybe we can be freed. But now there are only two of us...and he is still waiting for us. If we can't make it through, it will be too late, and at that time Gu Lao, Lao Zhao, and Gao Wei may all be targeted again immediately."
"So girl, what do you want to do?"
"Bet once, but if you lose... Uncle Yin, don't blame me. I have to create another chance. I may even lose all of you, including myself, for this."
"Girl, you don't need to say that I know, just tell me what to do?"
"Uncle Yin... Okay, let's talk about it. In order to avoid that thing, we chose the same method as the person in the book, which is to imitate death. That thing has a unique connection with death. But we have tried wearing shrouds, and we are still It doesn't work. I found that the so-called fear of death is very different from the changes of each era. Before liberation, it was basically buried in the ground. The dead were buried in shrouds and stayed in the coffin of the mourning hall for a long time. So people at that time Shrouds are far more taboo than modern people. So I chose posthumous photos, which are inseparable from modern death. I asked you to take photos of posthumous death for each of us, and sure enough, these photos really played a role. But I think the problem is not in the form. The people in the book don’t understand modern thinking, so they think that wearing a shroud is to avoid evil spirits, which is not the case.”
"What's the problem then?"
"It's the fear of death."
"That thing will only stop when our thinking reaches a certain level of fear. He wants us to be in the fear of death, that is to say, as soon as we relax our minds, or think that we are safe, then it will appear. I think For example, when you are extremely sleepy, something keeps you from falling asleep, and you can barely stay awake. This is very painful..."
"Got it, that's why we don't wear shrouds, but seeing pictures of ourselves does, because shrouds don't really do anything for us anymore. But death pictures make us think about what we'll look like after death. So We're scared. We're scared to death!" "Yes."
"Then what are you going to do girl?"
"I want to crack this ring. If I fail, I will change the law of this ring, create the greatest resistance for that thing, and then leave all the clues that can be left. The first thing is to change its additional mode of fear of death .and there is..."
Zhou Jue couldn't hear the last voice, and Chen Rulan didn't say anything.Then, Zhou Jue heard only sparse footsteps.He rushed out, only to see two blurred figures in the distance, and he saw one of them suddenly turned around and made a strange movement towards him, as if to stop Zhou Jue from advancing.It seemed to be pointing him to something.Then he turned his head, pointed to a hill in the distance, and then pointed to the ground, and she stretched out two fingers.
In a blink of an eye, those two people disappeared into the wild forest.Zhou Jue looked at the trail they left, and wrapped his thin autumn clothes tightly around his body. He felt that what Chen Rulan encountered in the end must be something very scary. He suddenly felt very cold, and the air suddenly dropped to freezing point. There was always something staring at him, just like when he first read that book.
Now he is alone in this unknown space, he doesn't know what to do, he thought about going back to the train, but he felt that something might happen to the strange car again, and those horrible corpses .
Zhou Jue glanced at the surrounding scene again, he picked up all the papers scattered on the ground, and then he found something wrapped in yellow silk among the papers, Zhou Jue held it in his hand, When he was about to open the package, he suddenly felt something touch his neck, and his back felt cold, and he heard something whispering behind him.
It was a very strange tone, like a very old local accent, Zhou Jue didn't understand, he grabbed the silk cloth in his hand, he turned his head suddenly, and found that there was nothing behind him, just the originally motionless branches Swish.Zhou Jue looked at his own shadow, and gradually realized that he had to leave here.He packed all the useful things into a bag, and he put the bag on his back and walked towards the path of the road. Anyway, it's useless for him to stay where he is now.Might as well go out and have a look.
The quieter he was, the heavier the sense of terror, the longer he walked, the more hopeless he felt.Zhou Jue looked up at the gray sky, he seemed to feel that there were snow particles falling on his face, but he didn't feel anything when he touched his face.
He has been walking, and he has crossed many forks. Every two meters, he will see a street lamp. The gray-white lamp pole is like a huge candle sticking on the side of the road. There is no moon in the sky, and it glows darkly. The gray light, it is hard to tell whether it is the light or the gray light itself from the sky.There are many weeds on the side of the road, and occasionally you can see one or two abandoned farmhouses. The crunching sound.Zhou Jue didn't stop and go into the house to rest, he would rather continue walking, living in such a place is the same feeling as camping next to a grave.
It took him nearly an hour to get out of the desolate woods and see the road.But there is not even a car on the empty road.After that, he felt that the longer he walked, the environment became darker and darker, and the off-white light could no longer penetrate the black clouds.He hesitated a little, thinking maybe he should go back, but his feet didn't stop.Reason prevents him from giving up.
Zhou Jue muttered, "I'm exhausted, and if I walk any further, my legs will be useless."
There are still those monotonous things around, the traffic signs, street lamps, and abandoned thatched huts, the temperature is getting lower and lower, Zhou Jue can't help sniffing.He quickly rubbed his hands together, trying to pull himself together. He knew in his heart that he had to continue on his way.
A long time passed, maybe an hour, maybe two hours.He couldn't think until he was gone, and he couldn't feel the changes around him.Finally, he felt that there was something faintly shining in the distance. He paused and calmed down his thoughts and spirits a little. In the distance on the left side of the road, there were indeed some faint yellow-brown light spots.This light is too inconsistent with the current atmosphere.Like a warning, he really considered whether to stop this time, and now there is not even a single person on the road, not even a car passing by on the road.It's not reliable at all that such a light suddenly appeared.But what about going back?Hide in that dilapidated house that can't even block the wind?Or back to that car full of dead people?Maybe he will meet Chen Rulan and the others, but are they still human at that time?He frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't do this evil..."
He pumped himself up enough to continue walking, and he found that he had come to a small market, which was like the streets of ordinary southern villages and towns, with blue-gray houses and black tiles.The big bluestone road is full of potholes and it is very difficult to walk.There are still many unused broken farm tools standing on the side of the road, and there are small shops selling groceries, pastries and alcohol around.There are many cardboard boxes piled up at the door, and it is hard to see what they are selling.
There are not many people, but there are still pedestrians walking on the street. These people don't even look at Zhou Jue. Zhou Jue passed by those people, but he didn't take the initiative to ask. He felt that these people looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere However, it's just that they didn't know each other in retrospect, but in fact, they didn't know each other.It's just that the inexplicable sense of familiarity makes Zhou Jue's heart cold. He feels that he has been here, drank the old wine here, shuttled and stayed in these small shops.In fact, he certainly hadn't been here.Most of those small shops were also empty, with no business at all, but a familiar scent of sorghum wine exuded from the dusty wine jars. Zhou Jue felt that this place was not only popular, but also full of coldness. breath.
He didn't know why he came to such a small village from Yelinzi. In fact, this kind of village is very common beside the road. It can be seen everywhere in the southern suburbs. There are some migrant workers who work or maintain roads, and some local Farmers, behind the village are usually small batches of farmland, growing some seasonal cooked vegetables.It's just that Zhou Jue felt that the village seemed a bit abrupt at the moment.
Suddenly he heard crying and shouting in a room in the village, the shouting was extremely hoarse, and the voice was somewhat familiar. In fact, he always felt that the people here really seemed to have seen it there before.He wanted to go over to see what happened, but suddenly someone grabbed his arm, and he turned around to find that it was actually Chen Hao.
Zhou Jue asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chen Hao said, "Come with me."
The author has something to say: Summary of the previous article: In the middle of reading, Ye Wei stopped everyone, so he concluded that the faster the pace, the more strange things will happen.Then they found that they were caught in the space-time gap between five years ago and five years later, and the environment was extremely unstable.The reason for all this is the man selling coffins that Shouhou met on the train. He was one of the last batch of seven people who died on the train. He caused this space situation...
Here I am again, here I would like to wish everyone a happy Halloween in advance, the ghost festival for foreigners is also a ghost festival.As horror and supernatural lovers, we still want to mention it.Then it is about the story. The situation of several people is becoming more and more contradictory. There will be many choices in the contradictions, and these choices will have a series of effects like a butterfly effect.But what Zhou Jue and the others are facing now is a collection of these contradictions.
Well, many friends have also made a lot of guesses in the comments, some of them are very accurate, but you have to take your time to know the ending. More to say, wait for two weeks, I will not bother.Everyone take your time, I will climb down and continue to cook, and I will wait two weeks before continuing with the next dish...
