The lights are brightly lit, various neon signs are flashing, and there are many shops and buildings on both sides. It looks like a very prosperous neighborhood.

Is this the place you came to yesterday?

I guess so, I don't remember clearly. At that time, all my attention was on that restaurant, and I was so hungry that I followed the aroma to the door of the store in a daze... That's basically it. As for this street

I really didn’t pay attention to other details on it.

After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Mo scratched his cheek, looked both ways, and walked forward.

Anyway, this must be the right place, and it shouldn't be too far away. Just look for it. With this idea in mind, he wandered back and forth on the street for a long time, but his brows relaxed from the beginning.

The frown becomes tighter and tighter.

No, what about the restaurant? What about such a big restaurant?

It was clearly here yesterday, why is it missing today?

There is no shortage of restaurants in this commercial street, but they are not the distinctive restaurants in his impression. He looked carefully and looked at them again and again, walking from the street to the end of the street, but he didn't see it.

Even if it is a familiar word...

In the end, Gu Mo began to doubt life. He stood there and raised his fist to his chin, just thinking about it.

What's wrong? He can't understand this problem. It's obviously a very simple thing, so why does it suddenly feel complicated? Although he really can't remember the detailed location, it doesn't make sense.<

/p>

After all, even including the community on the other side of the alley, it is a place as big as a booger, at most a little bigger than the Vatican. You might have to zoom in to the limit on the map of the takeout software to find the place name...

...So, I have no reason to come here the next day and not be able to find the store.

No matter how confused I was at the time, logically speaking, it must be near this area!

Standing there and looking around, Gu Mo continued to walk forward. He didn't believe that even the store yesterday was the product of his own imagination and imagination, and he was more willing to believe that it was because he might not have grasped the distance well.

, or should it be a little further forward?

Well, it’s not impossible...

After all, he was in a daze when he came here and walked to the door of the store without knowing it; and he was also absent-minded when he left, and he didn't know when he returned to the snack street.

——I really don’t have much impression of the process...

While characterizing the matter in his mind and rationalizing it, Gu Mo continued to look forward.

He walked like this without giving up for a long time, and the shops on both sides gradually became sparse. He looked left and right, and then changed the direction and walked over there... It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is exciting.

The threshold has been raised to such an extent by the impact of yesterday's delicious food that it is difficult for him to convince himself to accept ordinary food now.

Besides, they are really high-quality and low-priced, basically in the same price range, so why can’t we choose the best one?

With this idea in mind, he searched diligently and carefully for an unknown amount of time, but in the end...of course he found nothing.

"Oh!"

This script was obviously not right. Gu Mo stopped his futile steps and his eyebrows became tangled. He seriously doubted whether he had taken the wrong direction from the beginning, or whether he should have followed his own perception from the beginning and started from another direction.

Which direction is better to look for?

This idea is difficult to evaluate. After all, he found that there was no road over there, so he doubtfully walked from the other side. Until now, he has come here——

"Speaking of which...where is this?"

He found that he seemed to be lost. He had just made a roundabout way and failed to find his destination. He even got into it by himself. The city in front of him now seemed strange to him... He had never walked there before.

I came here, so I have no impression at all.

Where do I come from? Where do I go?

Why does it seem like every direction is different from the direction I came from, but also seems like every direction is like the direction I came from?

Gu Mo looked around in confusion at the unfamiliar environment, and finally shook his head, not too worried. He picked up the mobile phone in his hand and started searching. Anyway, technology is so advanced now, and it is usually fine to just bring a mobile phone with you when going out.

.

"emmmmm..."

He swiped a few times on his phone, probably because he didn't usually use map navigation. In addition, there were many software applications on his phone, and the various icons were dazzling, and he couldn't find the corresponding program for a while... Just as he

When I was thinking about downloading a new one, my thumb sliding across the display suddenly stopped.

Is the software I downloaded before bad navigation or something else?

Is it revised now?

Looking at the program option with a simple icon showing "Map (m)", Gu Mo always felt that something was not right. He was silent for a while, and then silently opened the program option.

The map was quickly displayed. He swiped a few times to confirm his location and the fact that he did not recognize the names of the surrounding places. Then he searched for the name of the restaurant, but he could not find it...
p>

It’s not even available on the takeout software. Is it so low-key?

But I probably missed it today. I don’t say whether I can find it or not. Even if I can find it later, I have been delayed for so long. They may have closed.

Sighing, Gu Mo searched for the location of his residence and looked at the route back. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Had he walked so far without knowing it? It felt like just walking back would take him a little closer.

Hours of work.

But there was nothing he could do about it. He made some choices, chose an optimal route, turned on the navigation, turned around a few times, calibrated the direction, and took another step.

Returning disappointed with full resentment...

A bad day.

…………

About ten minutes later.

"It seems like we are getting more and more remote as we go..."

Gu Mo walked on the long ramp, muttering doubtfully. He looked down at the map navigation on his phone, then looked up at his surroundings. He saw the winding and spacious ramp extending like a snake, illuminated by the soft street lights.

Underneath, the granite wall on the right looks strong and thick, and the forest stretching outside the ramp is silent in the late night.

The green environment is quite good. I really didn’t know that such a place existed here.

But at this time, it really feels like a horror movie, especially now that I am walking on this road alone.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Mo always felt that the air around him was gradually decreasing obviously, not only the physical temperature in the body, but also a cold feeling in the psychology.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he looked at the building complex standing in front of the winding slope, and then turned his eyes to glance at the thick granite wall next to it, where a bronze plate was embedded, which seemed to be a road sign, maybe.

It’s about the place in front.

——"Miyagi Prefecture Sugisawa No. 3 High School".

Huh? I originally thought it was a park or attraction in front of me, but it turned out to be a school?

And I have never heard of the name of this school.

Gu Mo carefully searched his memory and confirmed that he had no impression. Moreover, the style of the name was not quite right. After all, school names such as "xx City Middle School", "xx No. 1 Middle School" and "xx No. 2 Middle School" were

This is the format that he is familiar with and feels cordial to.

For example, the current "Miyagi Prefecture Sugizawa No. 3 High School" seems out of place. It is obviously not a coquettish bitch with a style of painting.

What is Miyagi? What is Sugisawa?

Urban village? Or brand naming of a certain company?

A series of questions emerged in his mind. Gu Mo confirmed his route again. This was indeed the shortest distance. It was basically a straight line, but he had to take shortcuts through this campus on the way... Well, since it was all on the map.

If it shows like this, then it’s correct.

He felt relieved and continued to move forward.

The coldness in the air lingered, and there was a faint pressure coming from all around, as if there was something peeping in the darkness where the light of the street lamps and the shadows of the night intertwined... Gu Mo didn't like this very much.

Feeling, but he is no longer a child, so he naturally knows that this is just his own psychological effect.

However.

A few more minutes passed. When he walked very close to the main building complex of the school in front of him, and just passed by the road in front of the school gate, he suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to shake. The source of the earthquake came from the side.

School.

Gu Mo turned his head and looked in the direction of the school strangely, and found that the entire teaching building was dark. What was the movement just now?

Could it be that there has been some major repair or construction project in this high school recently? But it’s already this time, so there’s no reason to say that the construction site is still under construction late at night.

…………

"Can the talisman be opened casually?"

"No...human beings without the power of magic cannot do this! Generally speaking, this is the case!"

Under the night, two people who looked like high school students were running wildly on a long winding slope. The one in front was dressed in black and was already breathing heavily. The one in the back looked fine, and even had some extra energy.

Make the effort to ask questions that puzzle him.

"Go to the right and take a shortcut!" The boy behind him took a look at the road in front and estimated how long it would take to get to school. He was more familiar with the terrain and made a decisive decision.

The high school student in black in front naturally had nothing to object to and quickly followed.
To be continued...
