"..." Lei Yue came to stand in front of the TV and remembered a moment long, long ago:
He excitedly fiddled with his parents to turn on the TV and check it out. "It can play anything, and it's not broken!" He said with inexplicable certainty at that time.
"Okay." Lei Yue saw that the TV's power cord had been plugged into the wall socket, reached out and pressed the TV's switch button, click -
The screen suddenly reflected a flash of snowflakes, and a rustling white noise came out.
The ghosts of the past were right in front of him.
Lei Yue stared at the snowflake screen in ecstasy for an unknown amount of time before he took the box of old VHS tapes and put it into the socket. The TV was like a living monster, swallowing up the tapes.
Suddenly, the screen full of snowflakes turned into a blurry cartoon image:
A cartoon character like a clown actor laughs, twists and turns, performs various actions, and sometimes exaggerates his body shape.
Lei Yue's face was expressionless, as if he saw a little boy sitting in front of the TV at the same time, laughing at the image, and imitating those actions.
It is also because of this that the little boy became interested in performing, which was noticed by his mother, who also saw him happily.
Then there is the kindergarten talent show...
"You bastard." Lei Yue muttered to the cartoon image on the TV, "Shouldn't you have been burned in the fire a long time ago?"
But no, the fire destroyed everything except the TV.
It's intact and right here.
He didn't find the three concentric inverted triangle mark on its fuselage, but this only meant that it was not under control. It did not mean that it was not a strange object, or to be more precise, a "forgotten object".
Now he knows better about the activities of the shotgun man in Dongzhou:
Synthetic Oil revealed that the investigation team discovered that Shotgun Man had been active in Fu Rong Village many days before his death, and the garbage dump guard was able to identify Shotgun Man's photo.
【Why Fulong Village?】
The shotgun man must have visited the junkyard and found this TV, but he couldn't find any clues about the fire or the bad-faced boy.
It wasn't until after a fierce fight with Jack the Ripper's gang that Shotgun Man was seriously injured and finally came to this forgotten realm through CEA-005.
Obviously, the shotgun man was extremely weak and confused at that time. He only had time to drink a drink, but he couldn't hold on and went back before he could leave any clues.
"Staying here will cause some kind of consumption." Lei Yue has already noticed, "It's not just a simple supernatural power, it's related to the mind and spirit...
"There is a time limit for coming in, just like calling to ask an old friend."
His brain was already a little swollen, and the space around him was wandering a bit out of frame. The "synchronicity" between him and this place was getting worse and worse.
Once the correct frequency is not tuned, the corresponding radio station signal will not be received.
It was just like that now, Lei Yue knew that he was about to lose the signal here, just like leaving a dream.
But now, he doesn't want to go back so soon. He wants to open those rooms and find out what's going on with this broken TV.
After the alien resonance, Lei Yue had a clear understanding of what happened after the fire and his life over the years, but...
What about before the fire?
Was that terrifyingly violent fire really just an accidental fire?
There is also the strange disease that I suffered from after the fire, and the state of empty cards...
Lei Yue thought of Lingsha's words, what is cause and what is effect, there is a more complex resonance in it.
From the time he took this TV away from the junkyard, its influence was everywhere, before everything happened, and now he's standing here, looking at it again.
“Old friend, are you here to catch me, but I feel like I’ve caught you too!
"You've shown me a lot of good shows, and it's time for me to return the favor."
Lei Yue said to the TV. The cartoon clown on the screen was still twisting his body in a hip-hop manner, making bizarre movements that normally only cartoons could do, and making strange sounds that were not human-like.
He also grinned and said, "Hahaha!"
Suddenly, he raised the CEA-005 pistol and pointed it at the TV, and he was about to pull the trigger, once, or seven times.
However, the synchronization deviates too much, and the resonance ends suddenly, like a click of a power switch. In just the blink of an eye, the surrounding light becomes different.
The sun shines down on a sunny day, and the noisy sound reaches my ears.
Lei Yue shook his head, only to realize that he was not on the second floor of the Teapot Bar, but next to a mountain of electronic waste on the ground. This was a place that had both sunshine and darkness for him.
At the Fu Rong Village Electronics Waste Dump, the gunman may have arrived like this that day.
"How long has it been?" Lei Yue first took out his mobile phone and took a look. The time was refreshed online and he saw that it hadn't been long, about 15 minutes.
Time passes at the same speed in the world of Dongzhou and that of the Forgotten Realm.
He breathed a sigh of relief. If January and a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Ayasha ran away to who knows where, it would be really fun.
Immediately, Lei Yue called Lingsha. After a few beeps, she answered and said:
"What's wrong? My head fell off and I can't put it back on. Do you need help?"
"I just miss you." He said, "I miss you very much."
"Ugh, I don't like it." Ayasa chuckled softly, "There are spies eavesdropping, you idiot. Let's not talk anymore, I found the ghost door."
After the call ended, Lei Yue took back his phone, laughed, thought about it, and suddenly muttered:
"Oh, by the way, I didn't delay tomorrow's parade performance, so I won't be scolded by Sister Hua, haha."
The CEA-005 pistol is still in my hand, unchanged.
Since the passage of time was consistent, Lei Yue immediately tried to enter the Forsaken Realm as before, but this time the pistol did not respond and the symbol on the guard plate did not glow red.
Maybe this thing also has a refractory period, but he knew that there was an old tavern there, in some alien space.
There are six locked rooms in the pub, four large photos, and an old TV.
"Okay."
Lei Yue feels that he and Lingsha have some similarities, but there are also many differences, one of which is:
When the ghost from behind came to catch him, he used to just roll forward as hard as he could, fearing that if he rolled slower, he would be caught and tortured by the ghost.
Now, he welcomes these ghosts, and he will face them and deal with them.
An SSS clearance rating for any level X area, right? OK.
Lei Yue thought that he would "charge" the pistol, go to the old tavern again, dismantle the TV, and open those rooms.
Regardless of whether humans can understand it or not, we must understand this life script.
"Family." He looked in the direction of his former home and seemed to see a little boy and a young couple walking on the road laughing and saying something.
"Let us meet again on the stage. You are ghosts and I am just a walking shadow."
Lei Yue moved his steps and walked towards the noisy exotic banyan tree. From a distance, he saw a large group of people making noises around him.
Many parents from other places and locals brought their children with them, trying to break through the guards’ blockade to get in touch with the banyan tree:
"You didn't take down this tree, go away!"
"My child may have a blank card. This state is very dangerous, you know. You must complete the resonance quickly!"
"My child is talented, really!"
"Here comes the showman, ah, here comes the showman!"
