Haunted Places Live

The red key swayed slightly in the air, and Chu Yang reached out and took the key off like picking flowers.Under the touch of the fingers, the red blood vessel-like substance on the surface of the key began to dry and peel off, turning into dust and flying away.A ray of silver streamer appeared inside.Chu Yang rubbed off the rest of the red skin with his fingers, and what finally lay in his palm was a quaint silver key. The head of the key was like countless vines intertwined together, but it had a strange pulsating feeling to the touch.

Lin Qi and Chu Yang looked at each other, and said very seriously, "Once the door is opened, we can only go to the end, and we cannot exit halfway. We don't know what we will encounter behind the door."

Chu Yang pondered, "Should we settle Chu Yi?"

Lynch thinks so.So he went back upstairs, locked the doors and windows, then went upstairs and asked Chu Yi and the others to leave for a while, and if they didn't show up after three hours, he would ask Chu Yi to call Baidian.After giving the instructions, he left the phone on the desk in the room.Chu Yi looked at him, suddenly worried, "Where are you going?"

"It's nearby. Don't worry." Lynch had already walked to the door, turned around and smiled at him, then closed the door and went out.

In the basement, Chu Yang was still listening to the piano piece.

Reincarnation... The theme of the song, the melody that keeps recurring, but they all have a little difference in emotion.It is like a fate that repeats itself differently, a tragedy that cannot be rewritten.

As long as it existed, it will exist forever... endlessly, reincarnating between countless realities...

The person I thought I was most familiar with, but I never knew it before.He doesn't know how much madness his grandfather has seen that he can't imagine, whether that weird and terrifying memory is really one of the memory fragments sealed by his grandfather, and he doesn't know what is waiting for him behind this door.

"This spaceship can take you to places far, far away, where no one has ever been. But once you go, you can't come back..."

When you know everything, it is impossible to pretend not to know.

"It's all arranged." Lin Qi locked the door of the basement as he came in to prevent Chu Yi from accidentally breaking in.He walked towards Chu Yang who was standing next to the keyhole, and stared at him solemnly, "Are you ready?"

Chu Yang nodded.

"If this is the door made by your grandfather, there probably won't be any danger." Lin Qi tried to appease Chu Yang, who was obviously disturbed, but he also knew that such comfort would be of no avail.What Chu Yang is about to face may be the subversion of the memory of his entire life.

"Are you going in with me too?" Chu Yang looked at Lin Qi hesitantly, "I don't know what's inside..."

Lin Qi looked at him, and suddenly took Chu Yang's hand, "As long as you are willing to let me in, I will go in with you."

Looking at each other, Chu Yang saw the deep affection in Lin Qi's eyes, and the pulsation from his palm harmonized with his own heartbeat through the gloves.This is probably what people say, the feeling of being connected.

His Lynch, the person who understands his music best and also understands him best in the world.

Chu Yang took a deep breath, and suddenly squatted down as if he was going all out, inserted the key into the keyhole, and turned it.

For the next few moments, nothing seemed to change.

Chu Yang stood up straight and was looking around in confusion when suddenly the surrounding scene began to twist.It was as if hot air was steaming up from the ground, distorting the path of light.But then, strange phenomena began to appear.The surrounding furniture is rapidly decaying and dusty, even covered in moss vines growing from the walls.Then even the walls began to crumble and weather, revealing a world that had long been barren and abandoned.

The surrounding houses have also been covered by some kind of strange vines, which look a bit like the tentacles of the filthy twins, tightly coiled and stacked together.Those fleshy bright red flowers radiated a fiery and strange light, swaying slightly under the abnormally gorgeous sky light.The originally clean road has been cracked by some plants they have never seen before, and the flowers and plants covered with fluorescent spots have swallowed all the traces of man-made objects, whether it is road signs, electrical boxes, sidewalks or houses, they have been corroded a little bit.Occasionally a misshapen bird would fly crookedly out of the wormwood with a heavy tumor hanging from the underside of its neck.

Human beings seem to have disappeared from this planet, and the earth has become another beautiful and evil world.

Strangely, in this empty world, the anxiety, restlessness, and hesitation that have been tormenting Chu Yang's spirit for the past few days seem to have eased a lot.He lifted his foot into the light blue grass blades and squirming vines, and walked down the creaking steps.Lynch also followed closely behind him, with his bright eyes wide open, he looked around in amazement.

"I didn't expect the space behind the door to be so big. It's like another world." Lynch murmured, "Your grandpa didn't really create another parallel reality, did he? Could it be that he is the legendary sixth level?"

"Level six? Impossible..." Chu Yang was also shocked, "If he is really that strong, why do he hide?"

"That's right...so someone helped him?" Lynch reached out and plucked a purple flower from the ground. The petals had beautiful fluorescent lines spreading, and the flower center was not a pistil and a stamen, but a dense cluster. The compound eyes stared at him motionlessly.Lin Qi was fascinated by watching, and asked Chu Yang, "Which direction do you think we should go?"

Chu Yang moved his gaze, and suddenly saw a black butterfly fluttering up and down in the air.Every time the wings flap, some fluorescent powder will be sprinkled, and snowflakes generally fall on the ground and plants.With a thought in his heart, he walked towards the butterfly, only to see the butterfly flew a little further away.Every few steps he took, the butterfly flew farther away, as if he was leading the way.

"Come this way." Chu Yang turned around and called out to Lin Qi, and then chased after the butterfly.

The two left the residential area, and gradually the abandoned buildings around them became taller and denser, like huge rotting corpses covered with melting green blankets, the black window glass was broken, like bullet wounds, or gouged out The eye socket of the eyeball.And right in front of the road, a towering giant gate stood far away, half of which was shrouded in clouds and mist, covering the reflection of the strange metal with greasy brilliance.

The butterfly fluttered higher and higher, and finally landed on the shoulder of a bronze statue about four or five meters high.The statue lay across the road, blocking the way to the great gate.

That is the statue of the Happy Prince.

The Happy Prince whose eyes have been gouged out is a fairy tale written by Oscar Wilde, who was once my grandfather's favorite writer.The extremely handsome and carefree prince was cast into a statue, but he saw the real and cruel face of the world, and could no longer be happy.

"After entering the first gate and encountering a statue, the statue will give you a warning. If you accept the consequences of continuing to move forward, you must enter the ultimate gate. This is the standard procedure of Carter's Gate, which is recorded in an article It's in the classic called "Through the Gate of the Silver Key." Lin Qi pointed to the statue and explained to Chu Yang, "This is your last chance to go back."

Chu Yang nodded, but still strode forward.

As the two approached, the statue spoke, "I knew you would come someday."

It was Grandpa's voice.A voice he thought he would never hear again.

Thousands of emotions poured into his chest in an instant, and Chu Yang's eyes were sore and painful, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Grandpa?"

"I'm not your grandfather, I'm just an afterimage, a guide." The voice of the statue is smooth and gentle, "The builder here wants you to seriously consider whether you really want to enter the ultimate gate. In many cases, ignorance is the greatest Happiness, mortals often pay dearly for knowledge beyond themselves."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the waves stirred up in his heart by that familiar voice.He looked at Lynch, who gently shook his hand. "I need to know." Chu Yang said loudly, "I want to know what I am..."

To know if he really brings bad luck to everyone, to know if in every other reality, he killed Lynch.To know why the men in gray always appeared in his hallucinations, why he felt strongly that they were still following him and spying on him.

The voice of the statue seemed sad, "In that case, enter through the gate behind me. Once you enter, you must keep going forward and not turn back. Otherwise, you will be lost in the gap between time and space forever, staying in a space forever." In an uncertain state between existence and non-existence. Do you accept such a risk?"

"I accept." Chu Yang said.

"I accept it too." Lynch replied.

The statue stopped talking and slowly moved aside.

The giant gate was in front of them, and the two of them stood at its feet like ants.Chu Yang raised his head and saw the heavy metal door leaf carved with vines quietly opening.

The bone-piercing cold, the most emptiness of darkness quickly poured out from behind the door, and the light in this magnificent world seemed to be swallowed up in an instant, becoming dim and timid.The powerful suction dragged Chu Yang and Lin Qi's steps, pulling them into the giant gate.

The moment after stepping through the door, Chu Yang and Lin Qi were swallowed up by an extremely weird and strong perception.

Chu Yang saw himself.Countless selves.At the same time, he strongly felt that he was them, experiencing everything they experienced at the same time.He saw himself as a child, as a teenager, as an adult, and as he lay in the bathtub swallowed by red blood.

At the same time, he also saw himself in other realities.

In a reality, his father was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and he had been influenced by it since he was a child. He joined the Presbyterian Church when he was a teenager, and accepted the stigmata. His observation ability rating turned out to be level five.After accepting the stigmata, he, together with Bai Hongyu and Zhao Censhang, became the apprentices of Great Elder Lynch.He never killed civilians by mistake with the death song, and he never knew his four band members.When he was 24 years old, he even became one of the elders of the Presbyterian Church and was Lynch's lover at the same time.However, in that reality, radicals and conservatives waged a protracted war. Bai Hongyu betrayed Lynch, and led Chu Yang and Lynch into a reality that was collapsing, trying to encircle and suppress them.Lin Qi tried his best to hold everyone back, opened the door of time and space to push Chu Yang out, and then disappeared forever with the collapsed reality together with those radical members.

In another reality, he still joined the Presbyterian Church when he was a teenager. However, in that reality, Lynch had a lover by his side at that time, and he didn't care much about him as a young apprentice.Chu Yang has been secretly in love with his teacher for nearly ten years. It was not until Lin Qi's lover died of illness that Lin Qi began to notice the 25-year-old Chu Yang.It wasn't long before the two fell in love that a powerful multi-reality network and observer organization began to invade their reality.Chu Yang's ability began to explode, and he was promoted to an elder after repeated outstanding achievements.However, the opponent teamed up with several realistic 100-meter-level five-level observers to invade together, and started a deadly battle with all 80 patriarchs of the four Holy Sees (including the real Presbyterian Church, Holy Flame Ministry, R'lyeh, and Chaos Temple) .In the end, there were heavy casualties, and only Chu Yang and Lin Qi were left to support the reality from collapsing, temporarily forcing back the attack organized by the mysterious observer.However, Lynch also withered and died due to excessive use of the stigmata, which could not be recovered and exhausted his vitality.

There is also a reality that Chu Yang's parents left him to his grandfather for various reasons.Grandpa noticed Chu Yang's astonishing power, and he didn't want Chu Yang to be involved in the disputes of the Four Holy Sees, and temporarily sealed Chu Yang's observation power.Chu Yang didn't know anything about his abilities until he was about 17 years old when he was playing the cello on stage and his power of observation suddenly broke through the seal and awakened, which caused a tragedy in which people in the concert hall went crazy and started killing each other.Chu Yang was quickly controlled and imprisoned by the elders. Because his observation ability is too strong and he can't control the convergence, even multi-observers dare not approach him easily.

He was imprisoned for six years, during which the only person he could see was Lynch, who taught him little by little how to control his power and taught him the spells of the Presbyterian Church.Later, because several realities around them were successively collapsed by a mysterious multi-reality association and observer organization, the Four Holy Sees began to feel a sense of crisis.Lynch took the opportunity to advise the elder to release Chu Yang and use him as a powerful weapon.After Chu Yang accepted the stigmata and gained freedom, he met Chen Yi and others and formed an underground band.It was the first time in his dark life that he had a friend.Unfortunately, his friends died in a partial reality collapse after the invasion began.

In the end, the only person he can trust and love is Lynch.

The elders used Chu Yang as a powerful and dangerous weapon time and time again, and sent him and Lynch to the most dangerous reality to carry out missions.However, that organization was bottomless and involved too many realities, even the senior members of the Presbyterian Church were implicated.Rumor has it that the leader of this organization is none other than Nyarlathotep, the God of Deceit, chief god of the Temple of Chaos.Chu Yang and Lynch were ordered to infiltrate the organization to find out the true identity of the leader of the organization.However, they were finally exposed. In order to protect Chu Yang from fleeing, Lin Qi exhausted himself and died.

In the other three realities, he was killed by the masked Chu Yang before he could meet Lynch.

In the other three realities, he died shortly after birth due to different reasons.Some were bitten to death by poisonous snakes, some suffered sudden strange diseases, and one suddenly stopped breathing.

But... what Bai Hongyu said was right, in most of the realities, in all the realities in which he met Lynch, Lynch died.Different causes, different times, different death conditions... so miserable that those real Chu Yang immediately fell into madness.

In all reality, as long as Lynch dies or he dies, he can't watch anymore.

There is another reality.

That reality seemed different from the others.

After he was born in that reality, one day the great invasion suddenly and silently began.The world rotted and mutated rapidly in the deep sleep. His parents were still sound asleep at the time. A few strange shadows with fleshy wings swept into the house, but when they stood up, they turned into human appearances, and the wings turned into gray windbreakers and hung down.The way they killed was like animals, swift and cruel, tearing open his parents' chest with bare hands, dragging out the internal organs, and then even started to gobble them up.The leader of the group entered the baby room and picked up Chu Yang from the bed.A beam of moonlight shot in, and the young Chu Yang could see the man's face clearly.

The frenzied smile and the corners of the mouth curled up, but it was the stalker who kept appearing in his nightmares.

I saw that stalker slowly opened his mouth, but what came out of his mouth was not a human tongue at all, but a soft column like a tentacle, with a polygonal geometry rolled on it, and a strange golden light diffused.Where the light shines, countless twisted and wriggling runes will flash past.He pressed the golden geometry onto the baby's right face, making a hissing sound as if a red-hot iron was branded on the skin and flesh, and a burst of water vapor released from the carbonization of the flesh.The little Chu Yang screamed in severe pain, but the strange thing was that no matter what he yelled, none of the neighbors could hear him.I saw the golden geometric body gradually sinking into the soft skin of the baby's cheek, and finally it was invisible at all, leaving only a burnt mark, and miraculously began to grow shredded meat rapidly.

The gray-clothed men in the room suddenly started laughing sharply in unison, as if that laughter was also some kind of ritual.The man in gray who was holding the baby lifted Chu Yang up and shouted, "Angel! You are the chosen angel!"

But in the next moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened by a force.Countless familiar vines rushed into the room, sweeping away those grey-clothed monsters.The baby in the hands of the headed man in gray was caught in the vines. The man in gray's face was instantly ferocious, his fangs were exposed, and he tried to cut the vines with his sharp claws, but was hit on the head by another tentacle like a long whip. flew out.The baby was quickly swept away, and all the tentacles retracted behind the door, as quickly as they came, and disappeared.

Except for those parallel realities in which Chu Yang died at birth, the problem is that after this reality ended, Chu Yang reappeared in another reality where he had already died.

He saw his grandpa, his grandpa in this reality, with a somewhat dazed face, the clothes on his chest were torn, and the red vine lines on his skin could be vaguely seen.But in his arms, was holding Chu Yang whose wound on the right face hadn't fully healed.

On the crib opposite Grandpa lay another baby, a dead baby whose whole body was stiff.

The author has something to say: The life of the masked Chu Yang flashed quickly...
