Haunted Places Live

Accompanied by a loud bang, the bricks and stones on the second floor and the roof of the parliament hall fell like a torrential rain. Exclamations, screams, smoke and dust pierced through the chaos caused by the huge tentacles like the symphony of death.Immediately afterwards, the second and third tentacles squeezed in from the gap, and many other species similar to giant beetles squeezed out of the gap.They are all covered with rotting coral anemones, and the stench accompanied by the smell of the sea seems to be able to corrode the internal organs.

The stigmata, summoned monsters, and mutated limbs of the fifth-level observers were immediately entangled with the sudden intruders, and the scene was in chaos.Lin Qi grabbed Chu Yang's wrist and led him stumbling towards the nearest gate.During the process, a pillar of the corridor fell down and almost hit Chu Yang, and when he rolled on the ground in embarrassment to avoid it, Chu Yang's cello was completely destroyed.Before he could feel distressed, Lynch's hand had already caught him through the smoke and dust, pulled him into his arms, and used his arms to shield the falling gravel from the sky, struggling to get out of the two tightly entangled rotten clumps. rush past.

Behind them, an extremely hoarse and unpleasant cry suddenly passed through all the chaos, but it was Baiaki who broke through the smoke, dust and gravel, and rushed towards Chu Yang and Lin Qi.At the critical moment, Chu Yang also grabbed the door anxiously. His hand fell on Lynch's, and they turned the doorknob together. The two squeezed in together, and then closed the door with a bang.

All of a sudden, the deafening but extremely chaotic noise before was completely annihilated.There was a deathly silence all around.

It was too abrupt to switch from the deafening extreme environment to the absolute silence without even the sound of the wind. The brain couldn't react, and it kept buzzing.Chu Yang took a deep breath, letting the tinnitus that made his head hurt a little bit.His clothes were soaked with sweat, and a gust of cold wind blew, causing him to shiver fiercely. Then, his mind went into a daze, and Chu Yang's body collapsed as if he had lost the support of his life.Lin Qi was shocked, and hurriedly hugged Chu Yang's falling body, but saw that Chu Yang's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his lips were even a little blue.

"Xiao Yang!"

How much life did Chu Yang share just now to summon those dead monsters?

Now that they have left that reality, Chu Yang's control over those creatures should have been invalidated, but obviously those shared lives have not been taken back, but there is a certain "waste".Before treating himself, Chu Yang's life sharing may have more of an auxiliary repairing effect, so there are no too strong side effects.But what was summoned this time was something too huge after all...

Lin Qi hugged Chu Yang tightly, and continued to sing the piece he and Chu Yang played together just now.He tried his best to enter Chu Yang's fantasy, imagining that his life spread from his chest to Chu Yang's body like a vine.In the empty hall, the singing voice became more and more ethereal, worrying and melancholy, ethereal like a piece of broken tulle.

But at this time, Chu Yang suddenly gasped like a person who was rescued after drowning, and struggled to open his eyes.He panted heavily, opened his eyes wide and tried to keep himself awake, and asked in a weak voice, "What happened?"

"You're too tired, you passed out just now..." Lin Qi touched Chu Yang's forehead with his hand, but he didn't have a fever, "How do you feel?"

"Very tired..." Chu Yang was obviously still worried about something, and looked around hard.This place is obviously already another reality, a tall, wide and empty corridor similar to Black Moon Castle, but the structure of the pillars is different, full of strange angles, and filled with a sense of dilapidated and abandoned desolation.Numerous strange red vines climbed on the walls and pillars like blood vessels, and some dark purple moss spread vigorously on the ground covered with gravel. Occasionally, something wriggled, and it was unknown whether it was a plant or an animal.And a big hole was opened above their heads, and the smelly wind whimpered in from it. The sky seen through the hole was a strange purple-red color, somewhat like the color of the sunset glow at sunset, but different from that of the sunset glow. Like the mottled mist of a paintbrush, the purple red was splashed on in large swaths.

Chu Yang became even more nervous, and grabbed Lynch's clothes with his hands, "Where is this place? Isn't it similar to reality?"

"It may be a relatively distant reality...and it was determined by the two of us together..." Lynch said softly, "It's okay, if it's too close, they might find it."

Distant realities...that is, the possibility that they diverged from their reality long, long ago.Anything is possible here, maybe even humans are a completely different form.Chu Yang remembered that behind Carter's Gate, in addition to the self he knew well, there were some realities where he was not even human.Sometimes he looks like an insect, sometimes he looks like some kind of beast with sharp teeth, sometimes he soars in the air with three pairs of wings, sometimes he is a big fish with a human face in the deep sea.In those realities, races that are equal to human beings also have developed civilizations. In those realities, Chu Yang is also a multi-observer, and they all met another creature equivalent to Lynch, and they also lost him...

A curse that cannot be escaped...

Chu Yang looked up at the weird and unfamiliar sky.He just happened to see a huge shadow slowly drifting past like a cloud, and countless things like eyes kept turning.

"It seems really far away..." Chu Yang looked at the fleshy balls and eyes in the sky, but for some reason, he relaxed a little and loosened Lynch's clothes.

Here, that Bayaki will never be able to find him again, right?

Chu Yang tried to stand up, but his legs always felt weak.Lin Qi put Chu Yang's arms around his shoulders and supported him to stand up.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Lynch took out his mobile phone, put it on the ground and crushed it with his foot, then walked to Chu Yang and said, "Give me your mobile phone too."

Chu Yang rummaged in his pocket with his other hand, but couldn't find it, "Maybe I lost it when I ran away just now..."

"That's just right. Lest they locate us." Lin Qi put his arms around Chu Yang's waist, staggered towards the place that should correspond to the exit of Black Moon Castle, and said as he walked, "Geographically speaking, this place is still too close. , we still have to leave this island.”

But when the two squeezed out from the half-collapsed exit, they were stunned.

This is not an island, but a... desert?

It seems inappropriate to say that it is a desert. The reefs are densely packed in the sand, covered with the same pink moss, and there are many things that look like corals standing upright.There are some spiral objects like conch shells and some biological remains similar to starfish on the reef.It's more like the original deep sea was lifted off the sea level during a violent plate movement and exposed to the air.And farther away, there are some continuous mountain shadows, which are probably the Greek islands near Whetmore Island.

"The sea water rises from the ground. Such a scene is recorded in a manuscript called Dagon. There is a man who was shipwrecked and drifting at sea lying on a lifeboat. When he woke up, he found that his lifeboat had run aground. The original seabed was exposed and turned into a desert." Lynch said in a quiet tone, as if afraid of disturbing something, "I always thought that manuscript was just a fabricated novel."

Chu Yang looked at the vast undulating sand dunes and reefs, and murmured, "We won't die of thirst before we reach the opposite side, right?" Especially in his current state...

Lynch turned his head to look at him and smiled, "If we die together, it will be regarded as breaking the cycle of all other realities, right?"

Chu Yang froze, unable to speak for a moment.

He turned his head, looked into Lynch's moving eyes, and suddenly felt that he was not afraid of anything.Even though he now feels as tired as being forced to work as a coolie for several days without sleep, even though they are now in a world that is completely different from the world he is familiar with and full of unknown horrors, he feels a kind of relief instead.

Now that his identity is exposed, they will definitely be hunted down by the four Holy Sees when they go back.What if... just don't go back like this?

It was a kind of freedom instead.

Anyway, he wasn't the person in reality, was he...

"Can you hold on?" Lynch asked.

Chu Yang nodded, trying to pull out a smile, "I can, let's get out of here."

The two of them walked slowly through the huge thorn-like trees without branches and leaves that were entwined by vines like blood vessels on the island, as well as some disc-shaped blue glowing plants with a diameter of one or two meters. The "bottom of the sea" began to traverse the desert in the direction of the distant archipelago.The sun that has been tilted west in the sky is bigger than that of the earth, its color is red and dim, but its heat is not as abundant as the sun, and it is more like a red giant star.Gradually the sun sank towards the horizon, and a purple glow gradually climbed over from the horizon on the other side pulling the deep night.Another cold smell entered the air, and the temperature began to drop.

Chu Yang began to feel chills all over his body, and shivered uncontrollably.Lynch also began to feel the chill. The temperature difference here at night seemed to be greater than the original reality. They fled in a hurry, with nothing around them, and they were still hungry. They really felt embarrassed by hunger and cold.They have been walking for a long time, and it seems that they can only spend the night in this desert...

Lynch looked around and found a tall group of coral reefs clustered together, chose a place that could shelter from the wind, and planned to spend the night there.He hugged Chu Yang tightly, trying to use his body to block the cold air from eroding Chu Yang's weak body.Chu Yang huddled in his arms, and Lynch's heartbeat was transmitted to the back of his heart through the thin clothes, as if forming a certain resonance with his own heartbeat.Although this warmth was a drop in the bucket, it finally allowed him to survive the ever-decreasing temperature.

"Is it a little warmer?" Lynch asked softly.

"Yes, how about you?"

"I'm not cold."

"Liar."

Lynch laughed twice, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll watch over you."

Chu Yang nodded and closed his eyes.But although he was exhausted, he couldn't fall asleep anyway, and countless thoughts were spinning in his mind, which were out of his control.He simply opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

The island in the distance was pitch black, without any lights.It seems that the human beings in this reality have disappeared, or there were no human beings in the first place.

But what was that dilapidated fortress from which they came?

The stars in the sky are exceptionally clear, and the Milky Way passes through the sky, just as magnificent and gorgeous as the Milky Way they saw in Yosemite.

"Your cello is broken." Seeing that Chu Yang couldn't fall asleep, Lynch said softly.

Chu Yang leaned his head gently on Lynch's shoulder and said, "Yes, it's broken."

"I'll buy you another one later." Lin Qi turned his head and kissed Chu Yang's hair lightly.

"What if we just stay in this reality and don't go back?" Chu Yang asked quietly, "Then maybe there is no need for the cello."

Lynch smiled lowly, "Aren't you afraid of such a strange place?"

"Isn't it more scary to go back?"

"Okay." Lin Qi hugged Chu Yang's arm tightly, and said calmly, "Then let's be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, and let those elder priests go to hell!"

Chu Yang also smiled lowly, just smiled, and suddenly began to cough.A series of coughing could not be stopped, and he felt Lynch's arms holding him tight again.After finally catching his breath, he felt a little melancholy, and sighed, "It's a pity that I will never see Chen Yi, Zhu Heze, Su Yu, Bai Dian, Zhao Censhang... and Chu Yi..."

As he was talking, suddenly his stomach growled.And not just one person, but two people's stomachs started to growl at the same time, which was especially clear in the quiet night.

Lynch smiled lowly, "I'm going to be hungry on the first night of Survival in the Wilderness."

But at this time, the desert in front of him gradually changed.

The pink moss began to glow faintly, and something similar to spores slowly rose up, like magical dust floating in the sky, which actually illuminated the originally dark wasteland a little.In the dim light, it was faintly visible that the clods of soil began to turn outwards, and many animals that resembled fish but with four legs began to crawl out of the soil, with translucent fan-shaped "fins" on their backs.These animals crawled around in the desert, and occasionally they were suddenly caught and swallowed by brightly colored flowers that resembled sea anemones that suddenly opened in some reefs.

Chu Yang and Lin Qi looked at the suddenly vibrant desert in surprise. Did these things only appear at night?

A strange fish crawled near them, Lynch suddenly had a thought, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the thing.The strange fish as long as a forearm was held down by Lynch, but it was still struggling, but its fat body seemed to store a lot of protein.Lynch's hand began to glow with colored light, which penetrated into the fish's body, turned around and flew back to his hand, and the fish stopped still.

Lynch caught the fish, put it in front of his eyes and looked left and right, "Well... it shouldn't be poisonous, right?"

Chu Yang opened his eyes wide and turned to look at him, "Do you want to eat it?"

Lin Qi blinked at Chu Yang, "The two of us are going to open up wasteland in this reality, so we have to figure out what to eat and what not to eat. Besides, you are weak now, if you can eat something, it might help."

"...Then what if you are poisoned?"

"Let me eat first. My star color will save me. If it doesn't save me, then you can eat it too. We will die for love."

Chu Yang laughed out loud, "In that case, it's better to eat together."

"That can't be done." Lin Qi asked Chu Yang to lean against the stone behind him, and picked up the fish with both hands and wanted to eat it, but he always felt the stench.Watching on TV that Mr. Pei can put anything in his mouth, it is only here that he realizes how difficult this hurdle is to overcome...

Just thinking that it would be great if there was something that could light a fire, suddenly Chu Yang exclaimed, "Look!"

But in the distance, there are some bat-like things flying in the air, but the difference is that the wings of those bats are emitting blue smoke.When one of them fell on a piece of pink moss, the moss started to ignite sparks, and gradually the whole moss-covered rock burned.But the "bat" in the fire was unharmed, as if it was not afraid of fire.

Lin Qi looked at the fire in surprise, then at the fish in his hand, and then at Chu Yang, "Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental..."

Chu Yang also opened his eyes wide in astonishment, "You also thought just now that it would be great if there was fire, didn't you?"

Lynch nodded.

When they hope for light in the dark, they have light, and when they hope for food, they have fish.Now they want fire, and there is fire...

How is this going?How can reality have the characteristics of thinking?
