Chapter 216 The Nightmare Begins
The sound is very slight, but it is also very clear, and it can be captured by several people at the same time.
So almost all of them turned their heads subconsciously and looked at the source of the sound, which was the open space.
However, there was obviously nothing there. Within the range where street lights could be illuminated, there were only a few small toy shovels inserted in the square sand pool, and there was no one in the swing next to it.
Further away and outside, there was a hazy night. The light of the street lights could not be shined at all, and the darkness was spreading in the turbid place. You could only vaguely see the outlines of some uneven buildings, continuing toward both sides, without any light, and look very lonely.
“…”
“…”
Everyone stared at the swing within the range of street lights, because the sound just now was too much like the sound made by the rope after it was tightened.
If there are ropes nearby, there is only the empty swing. The sudden sound of the rope rushing sound just now was like... someone suddenly sat on the swing.
Looking at the empty swing, everyone couldn't help but think of this, and then suddenly felt chilling.
It’s not that they really believed it immediately, and felt that they had encountered something. It was just because they thought of such a terrifying scene like a touching scene, so they felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
Just like when watching horror movies, people often develop a fearful mind. Don’t they know that those scenes are filmed movie shots, false scenes made through special techniques, makeup techniques or movie special effects, and are not real things.
However, no matter how you know, you should be afraid of it.
The connection between cognitive and physical reactions is very complex, and many of the human body's reactions are not simply affected by personal cognition, but are also affected by emotions, physiology, environment, etc. Specific pictures, sounds, and environments may cause physiological reactions of fear.
Another thing is that humans are instinctively and subconsciously prone to link darkness, abnormality, unknown, controllable and dangerous. This is generally not transferred by personal will, because it has been proven to be a response mechanism conducive to human survival for many years.
So even if you know that it is false and impossible, reason and past experience still prevail—
When watching a movie or imagining a substitute fear scene, people will still feel stressed and nervous.
It can only be said that the oldest and most intense emotion of human beings is fear. Everyone has unknown fear hidden deep in their hearts. This fear is inherent and can evolve and deepen with growth and experience. As one of the most primitive driving forces, it secretly influences human words and deeds.
The silent and silent atmosphere and the feeling of anxiety spread silently in the air. This situation lasted for about a minute before it was finally broken—
"Did you hear anything just now? Did you hear that?"
The captain in name, the tall boy Awei, seemed to be a little confused, turned his head and asked the others.
"It seems...it seems to be heard, it should be the sound of the rope being subjected to force?"
Xiaoxue said in a slight uneasy voice, staring at the swing stand tightly.
The bright and divine eyes were not blinking. Their appearance was like a fear that when she blinked, closed her eyes and opened them, something terrible would appear quietly.
"It should... it should be everyone who heard it?" The tall and thin boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and said carefully, as he looked at the expressions of his companions.
"Maybe we heard it wrong?"
"It's... it seems like the wind is blowing by, maybe the wind blows the swing."
"Maybe the facilities are aging. After all, for so long, the rope has been hit by wind, rain, sun and rain. Maybe it happened to be a natural break at this moment..."
The others also started talking, talking about it, and each had their own opinions. However, although the concepts seemed to be different, the core points were the same.
Then, if there are any non-scientific factors in the phenomenon that the sound just now emits, it is consistently stated that there must be scientific, objective and reasonable reasons.
They believe in science!
As we talked, everyone felt that the uneasiness and tension seemed to be relieved, and their moods were relieved a lot, and they subconsciously changed the topic, discussing how long it would take to call Didi, whether to have a midnight snack together after going back, where to eat midnight snacks, etc.
But soon, Xiaoxue discovered that her best friend was still staring at the swing with a serious expression and said nothing.
"Sister Chai? What's wrong with you... Is it okay?" She asked carefully, a little unsure what was wrong with her good sister today.
It seems that from beginning to end, it has always given her a feeling that something is wrong. If it is in a horror movie, it is often a bad start, which is a sign that it is not impossible for them to end up in a group today.
In addition, she just made a special episode of the supernatural live broadcast, and after the end, she encountered some strange phenomena, so her thinking couldn't help but tend to be in this direction, and she gradually fell into the feeling of a supernatural world.
Of course, rationality still has the upper hand, and Xiaoxue doesn't think there is really something wrong with her best friend, and she doesn't seriously consider this direction.
"...Don't you feel a strange feeling of coldness?"
After taking a deep breath, Miss Chai Ying said.
After hearing what she said, everyone realized that for some reason, there was an indescribable sense of coldness in the air around them, which made their bodies tremble slightly instinctively.
Even if the night wind is cool at night, it should not reach this level, right? And this is not a sense of coldness in the physical sense, but a sense of coldness similar to spiritual energy... This makes an ominous feeling appear deep in their hearts.
"Maybe it's just a little late, the wind here is a bit strong..."
Awei forced himself to explain.
At the same time, someone echoed: "Yes, it's already late at night now. We all know that the temperature at night is definitely lower than during the day..."
——Reason or force them to believe that this is just their simple illusion. Perhaps they are just psychological hints brought by Sister Chai’s words, and they will feel a sense of coldness only after they have preconceived ideas.
However, there is no need for Sister Chai to continue to remind them to convince them.
"Roll!"
The clear sound of the rope slamming sounded, as if it was dragging something heavy, making a strange sound.
Almost everyone's bodies stiffened slightly, and their expressions instantly frozen. They subconsciously stopped moving, holding their breath and stop talking, just pricking up their ears to try to capture the direction of the sound just now.
Maybe it was an illusion before, but now it shouldn't be an illusion, right?
Maybe they heard the wrong direction before, but now they want to figure out where the sound is made... Fear comes from the unknown, and they are afraid because they don't understand the situation.
So, as long as they figure out where the strange sound was made, and after understanding what was going on, and with a reasonable explanation, they will naturally eliminate this fear and feel at ease.
However--
"Roll!"
"Roll!"
"Roll!"
This time the sound did not only sound once, but was very rhythmic, and continued to sound clearly and then again and again.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads again and looked at the empty space beside them. They saw the empty swing slowly shaking, making a sound in the night wind.
The wind was not strong at all, and it was not enough to blow it.
But the empty swing shaking itself, one after another, and the amplitude became larger and higher, higher and higher from the ground, and finally swung high...
“…”
“…”
This creepy scene made everyone completely stunned. They felt that all their hairs were standing up, and their mouths were wide open to scream, but they could not make any sound in their throats.
The horror was like an invisible big hand holding their hearts. Someone had already started to tremble, his body was in a trembling state, his whole body was trembling, and his eyes could not be moved away.
Empty, nothing!
There was no one on the swing at all! But it just swung itself!
However, even if their eyes cannot see, they cannot say that the "thing" does not exist - it is there! There is definitely something "thing" on the swing!
Sister Chai's face turned pale, and she forced her brain to calm down and subconsciously wanted to do something, but she found that she could not move, and she had no choice but to have no choice but to mobilize her spiritual energy and activate a special extraordinary perception.
The horror of fear and chill swept across her body, making her hands and feet stiffened as if she was falling into an ice cellar, and she could not move at all.
It was as if I was back to the time when I was powerless and desperate. This single ponytail girl realized that the psychological shadow she left behind was so huge.
After that, she did master powerful power, but she did not encounter any related things again, so naturally she did not really defeat her inner demons. Until now, she realized that her problem was so serious.
At this moment, no one can speak until they completely lose consciousness.
...
...
United States of America.
New York.
"Sheit! Have those people all gone like this?"
With his memory, Colonel Irving called the mobile phone numbers of several people he remembered again, but just like the previous two days, none of them could be connected.
With the last glimmer of hope, the phone number he called about the young Chinese female in charge naturally failed to get through.
He threw his phone aside with a little annoyedness. The colonel lay on his arms and lay on the bed in his room. He looked at the various posters on the wall with some worries, only to find it familiar and unfamiliar.
Is it a dream? Or is it going back to the past?
If he made changes at this point in time, would it affect the history of the future? For example, if he warned America now, could the Lighthouse of Freedom be one step ahead in the future world changes and continue to establish a dominant position?
No matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be like the original history, making mistakes in judgments, which will cause damage to the bones?
