As soon as I returned to the wing, I found that my sister, Shangguan Wan'er, the distraught sister, and Lilith were all missing. My heart suddenly sank: I've been fooled!
He hurriedly returned to the stone room, kicked open the wooden door, and said, "Hand over the man!"
But the stone room was already empty of people, and there was no trace of the gray-robed monk anywhere. Only the beating oil lamp and the unfinished chess game told me that what just happened indeed existed and was not a dream.
I searched anxiously for their whereabouts, but I searched every corner near the wing and found nothing.
At this time, the sky was still covered with clouds and it was raining heavily. The red light was no longer there and the rumbling sound had disappeared. It was as if everything had returned to the way it was before the vision appeared. It was as if everything had never happened.
I finally had no choice but to return to the previous wing. Only then did I find a note pressed on the coffee table. There were only a few words written on it: "Wherever you come from, you go wherever you go! Be careful what you say!"
Needless to say, this must have been left by the gray-robed monk who pretended to be mysterious. He literally wanted me to go look for it where we came from.
I don't know what he means, whether he wants to help me or harm me. I can't judge what this monk wants to do!
I don’t even know how long I stayed in the stone chamber. When I came down the mountain, there was no one at the foot of the mountain, and there wasn’t even a car. It was as if there had never been any meteor shower here, nor had it ever happened before.
There are no mountain-like crowds of tourists in the sea of clouds. What is left is just as deserted and dark as ever.
The county-level road at the foot of the mountain seemed deserted at this time. There were no street lights or passing vehicles. It was blurry in the heavy rain. I braved the heavy rain and hid under the eaves of the small grocery store beside the road at the foot of the mountain.
When I saw the sign hanging on the wall at the door, "This store sells Durex, Bond 007, cucumbers, and eggplants, with large quantity discounts!" I realized that the incident had really happened, and it was already a thing of the past.
.
After waiting under the eaves of a small grocery store for a long time, I met a truck on its way in the middle of the night, and successfully hitched a ride into the sea of clouds.
Compared to the previous heavy downpour at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, it was obvious that not even a drop of rain had fallen on the sea of clouds, and even the road surface was dry.
After driving all the way back to Student Street and seeing the orange lights on the old small western-style building, I suddenly felt like I was surviving a disaster, and I couldn't help crying with joy.
I hurriedly entered the car door and saw Shangguan Wan'er and my sister still sitting in the living room with their arms around the car, looking worried, and I felt an indescribable warmth and touch in my heart.
When my sister saw me coming back, she stood up and shouted angrily: "Brother, where have you been? Why haven't you been seen all day?"
But Shangguan Wan'er was very shocked, covering her mouth and looking at me with wide eyes: "You, why are you wet?"
My sister also frowned slightly and said, "Brother, you fell into the water? Why are you all wet?"
How could I care about this? When I didn't see them just now, I was really going crazy. When I thought about what happened to them, I was scared to death. I would definitely not forgive myself for my mistake.
But now that I see them well at home, I feel relieved.
I stumbled all the way and rushed over, holding my sister firmly in my arms.
She pushed me and said without realizing it for a moment: "Brother, you are all wet. What's wrong with you? Is it raining outside? Go and change into clean clothes!"
"It's great that you are okay!" I said excitedly.
But my sister jumped away from me and said, "What can happen to us? You, on the other hand, didn't say a word to us after going out for a day, which made Wan'er and I worry about you all the time! We couldn't get through when we called your cell phone.
I thought something happened to you!"
I was stunned, "I've been out for a day?"
My sister then stopped and said, "Yeah! Oh my god, brother, are you okay? You went out for a day and didn't come back. Don't you know?"
It's true that I went out for a day, but you also went out for a day, didn't you come back earlier than me? Why did you ask such a strange question? So I asked: "When did you come back? Who sent you back?"
?”
My sister looked at me inexplicably, and Shangguan Wan'er also looked at me strangely.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Wan'er and I have been at home all day, and we haven't even left the door. How come you..." My sister looked at her in surprise and said. I could already see deep dissatisfaction in her eyes.
untie.
At this time, I was really stunned, and at the same time I remembered the note on the coffee table, "...be careful what you say!" Is the gray-robed monk warning you to be careful when speaking? Are there certain things you shouldn't say carelessly?
I suddenly felt that things were far from simple, but beyond my imagination.
I asked insinuatingly: "Really? Did something big happen in the game today?"
My sister shook her head and said, "We didn't play games today! We got up very late and found you going out in the afternoon. I thought you would come back for dinner, so I kept waiting for you. Who knew you were just back now!"
My sister's reactions, words and deeds were all normal, except that she seemed to be missing certain memory fragments, such as her trip to Nanshan!
"Oh, really? I went to catch up with an old friend today and forgot to tell you! My mobile phone was out of battery, so I didn't call back!" I explained while tentatively
He asked back: "Didn't you hear that there is a meteor shower? Don't you go and see it?"
"Meteor shower? Isn't it tomorrow? Brother, are you going? I heard you can see it more clearly in Nanshan!" my sister said excitedly.
At this point, I really found that she had no memory of anything that happened today. What was going on? Why did my sister have no memory of anything that happened today? It was like the game had been rewinded.
It went right back to the situation last night.
What is going on?
More doubts arose in my mind, and at the same time the word "Be careful" came to mind. Obviously the gray-robed monk knew everything, but he refused to tell me. It seemed that only
Only after solving the trapped beast chess game can he speak.
In order to verify my idea, I went back to the room and changed my clothes, then called the upset girl. On the other end of the phone was a confused voice, "Brother Lin San, are you missing me when you call me so late?"
?”
"Where have you been today?" I asked casually.
"I didn't go anywhere! There were suddenly a lot of patients in the hospital today, so I stayed here and worked overtime! I'm so tired, I'll go to bed first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!" After saying that, the confused girl hung up the phone on me.
The distraught girl has completely lost her experience of going to Nanshan, which gives me more reason to believe that everyone who has been to Nanshan has had their memories of this day wiped away, and they have actually forgotten what happened on this day.
This is definitely no coincidence.
Because the sudden inspiration gave me a feeling of enlightenment. Didn’t I feel that sudden disconnection? It seemed that there were some things that I couldn’t connect before and after, and the memory in the middle seemed to be cut with scissors.
Like it fell off.
So who are these people who cut off part of our memories? Why did they do this? One after another, mysteries swirled in my mind.
