The sun is gradually setting in the west, and like any time before, it has entered the final stage unknowingly with the passage of time. Houses and trees also outline long and thin shadows under the gradually turning westward sunlight, giving the original
The dead and quiet town adds a different kind of beauty, mixed with the cold breeze and the flying leaves, it seems that something is brewing and it seems to imply something.
Time, 17:05, Crosso Town.
In the living room, as the light outside the window quietly weakened, and as the depressive atmosphere gradually became stronger, He Fei stared at the oil painting again next to the wall. He was standing in front of the oil painting that was taller than himself and stared carefully. Although the college student's body was motionless,
, but his eyes moved frequently, observing the content of the painting attentively, not missing any details, his pupils scanning back and forth, his serious look was no less than that of an antique appraisal expert. If he was given a magnifying glass at this time, the young man would definitely not hesitate to read it.
Keep your eyes on it.
He stared at the face of the woman in the painting, observed the body chains, and scanned the background, fine lines, borders, and even the painting paper. He Fei did not miss any place that could be inspected. Yes, He Fei was looking for it.
The text and the oil painting are connected together, so we try to find clues from the painting to find the place that represents both 'destination' and the way out.
As time passed by, the sun set further to the west, and He Fei's face became more and more ugly and bitter, and finally developed into despair!
because……
Nothing, nothing found!
After more than ten minutes of searching and observing, there were no results. Especially after confirming that nothing could be seen, He Fei was confused, took his eyes away from the portrait, and then sat down on the ground.
He also murmured to himself: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."
He glanced at the sun in the west outside the window. At this moment, an uncontrollable and rich despair enveloped his body. He Fei's face was ashen. His futile search made him on the verge of losing control. If it weren't for the remaining trace of reason in his heart, he still warned him to stay calm as much as possible.
, presumably by this time the young man had already held his head and yelled to vent, but...
It was precisely because of the last trace of reason that He Fei did not give up!
On the surface, the young man sitting paralyzed on the ground seems to be decadent and pessimistic, but in fact, what is hidden under the desperate and gray face is still the non-stop brain operation and absolutely rational analysis and thinking!
Shaking his head, He Fei denied the possibility of misleading, and still did not talk about who left the information on the wall. Just thinking from a practical perspective, it is obvious that the so-called false misleading is not necessary. After all, even without this line of information, He Fei would have been
We are in a desperate situation where there is no chance of death. We are going to die anyway, so what’s the point of giving another piece of misleading and false information?
Excluding the possibility that the information was false, another thought soon emerged in the young man's mind.
That is...
Thinking of this, for some reason, next to the oil painting, it was like a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind and a sudden electric current passed through his body. He Fei, who had lowered his head in thought just now, suddenly changed. His expression was solemn, his brows were slightly raised, and he raised his hand.
He stood up and started to hang the oil painting back on the wall.
After completing the above seemingly meaningless and even unnecessary work, He Fei took a few steps back to a position about three or four meters away from the oil painting. Then, he opened his eyes wide and observed the oil painting again, silently paying attention to the content in the painting.
No one knows what happened to the young man. The only thing that knows or can be discovered is that this time, as the vision was re-examined, after a moment, He Fei's face, which was originally solemn, suddenly changed! His eyes were wide open.
Open further to the limit, and even the pupils quickly switch between contraction and enlargement!
"Ugh!"
It is often said that accidents often come unexpectedly. It is true. Just as the college student was staring at the oil painting with horror and hesitation, suddenly, a sharp howl filled with fear came into his ears, frightening He Fei who was already accustomed to the silent atmosphere.
De's body trembled and he instinctively turned around. Before he could react, a clearer sound of a woman crying could be heard immediately after.
"Help! Who can save me? Woo woo woo, woo woo woo!"
The cry clearly echoed in the living room through the doors and windows, echoing in my ears. It sounded obviously not far away from here, and it was somewhat familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.
Yes, if He Fei was in panic and confusion when he first arrived in the town because his world view had been subverted, then after experiencing near death again and again, although He Fei's courage can't be said to have surged, he is still calm.
It was indeed much stronger than before. After a moment of recovery, after hearing the identity of the owner of the voice and confirming that the other party was probably nearby, he looked at the time on his phone, He Fei moved, and ran out of the living room without saying a word.
The door immediately burst into the street.
Da da da da!
The reason why He Fei dared to run around without any worries was also very simple. The reason was that he already knew that he would not be in danger at this moment, at least not in danger of death. Although there was obviously a terrifying female locust hidden in the town,
However, the female locust cannot kill people during the day, and cannot kill humans in sunny places. It is still afternoon, and there is still an hour before the sun sets, which means that as long as night does not really fall, the female locust will never be able to attack itself.
Getting back to the subject, He Fei's actions were not unpleasant. As he opened the door and ran into the street, after taking a quick look, the college student immediately found the source of the sound.
"woo woo woo woo!"
In the field of vision, about a hundred meters away on the right side of the street, a European and American woman wearing blue casual clothes was crying and running. The woman was frightened and tired. As she cried, her staggering body ran forcefully. She was currently running along the road.
He ran straight forward on the street, towards his location.
That's Martha!
It was Smith's wife Martha, the woman who disappeared with Smith last night!
The weird thing is……
The woman obviously looked like she was running away, and she looked back from time to time while running. Every time she looked back, the woman would look frightened, as if something was chasing her behind her. But if she took a closer look, she would find that there was nothing behind her, at least in her own eyes.
There was nothing, the empty streets were filled with fallen leaves, not even a mouse, and the woman actually ran away crying without being chased by anyone!?
