Dong Ning and Zhong walked into the building in front of them.
The walls of this building are old, which is probably an important reason for the poor sound insulation. In such an old house, even the slightest noise inside can be heard by the neighbors.
And as you go higher, the barking of the dog becomes louder.
"This dog is barking...I'm a little panicked..." Zhongfen glanced at Dong Ning, only to find that she was very calm.
"It's normal," Dong Ning also looked at Zhongfen's head from time to time and said: "The sense of smell of dogs is far superior to that of humans. It screamed before, so it must have smelled our scent. Now that we are walking up, the smell will be natural.
The stronger it is, the more dogs will bark because of their territorial awareness.”
"Well...I, I know, I'm just a little flustered..."
Zhong Fentou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He was a man, but he was not as courageous as a woman. He even doubted in his heart, had this woman really lost her memory? Why did she keep talking in the same way?
"Judging from the sound, the dog is still two floors away from us..." Dong Ning said, "It should be on the top floor."
At this time, the barking of dogs became louder and clearer. Zhong Fen subconsciously wiped his forehead and said, "This... the people up there won't let dogs bite us, right?"
"It would be great if that were the case. At least it would be much better than evil spirits. And without special training, it is difficult for ordinary people to command dogs to bite people. Do you think dogs are not afraid of people?" Dong Ning was even more scared.
It's the elusive evil spirit, other than that, everything else is nothing.
There are a lot of stones in her pockets. If a vicious dog attacks, she has plenty of solutions.
But just then...
The barking of the dog suddenly stopped!
The barking of the dogs stopped suddenly, causing the two of them to pause.
"Wait a minute..." Dong Ning planned to check the situation and stopped.
Then, a long time passed, and the barking of dogs stopped.
"This is wrong... Dogs are extremely sensitive to strange smells. We are so close, why don't we bark anymore?"
"Aren't we strangers?" Zhong thought up a possibility: "After all, we have lost our memory..."
"I'm afraid it's impossible. The USB flash drive is on you, so you probably got it from An Ning. If you and An Ning are together, then it's obviously the first time you came to Youming Town."
"This...that?"
"We have never seen a single wild dog in this town... This is not normal in itself. Dogs in towns and rural areas are different from those in cities where they are kept on leashes. Most of them are free-range and often wander around the streets and alleys."
.In this town, not a single dog has been seen, which is very unreasonable. Even if someone takes their own dogs out on this special day, or locks them all in the house, it is impossible to take out all the wild dogs or
Lock it up!”
After listening to Dong Ning's analysis, Zhongfentou also found it quite reasonable.
"Then what do you mean..."
"Not only humans, but cats and dogs will also be killed by the evil spirit. Even the corpses will not be left behind, just like the short man."
"The dog was killed by...?"
For a moment, both of them felt extremely heavy in their hearts.
Now... there might be an evil spirit holding an umbrella above their heads!
Go up? Or not?
Thinking of the missing short man and the shadow that could control their actions, it was hard to figure out the connection between the two. Frankly speaking, if they went up like this, once the shadow activated a curse and made them unable to move,
The consequences are disastrous.
Dong Ning's original intention was to find the living people in this town and ask for the truth. However, if there were evil spirits above, the consequences would be terrible.
She raised her hand, covered her face, and looked through the gaps between her fingers.
Fortunately, I didn't see anything I shouldn't have.
"Um...shall we go up?" Zhong Fentou also guessed Dong Ning's thoughts and asked: "We might encounter..."
At this time, the corridor became extremely silent.
The dog never made a sound again.
"Go up." Dong Ning was the first to make up his mind: "When we met evil spirits before, they didn't kill us when we met, and the shadows didn't control our bodies. If we follow what Aning said, this may be some kind of restrictive force at work.
, when midnight arrives and the restrictions are lifted, the consequences will be disastrous."
"You mean if the restrictions are lifted..."
"For example, the shadow curse may control us to walk in front of evil spirits, or the evil spirits may kill us as soon as they see us."
"I see, does this curse power have to reach a certain critical point at midnight?"
"Maybe, for example, vampires can only walk at night, and werewolves must transform on the full moon. Therefore, we must know how to deal with this curse before that. Those who stay in the town know that when it arrives
At night, even if you want to leave the town, you will be controlled by the shadow and come back again, and you still dare to stay, there must be some kind of trick."
"Hmm... just like vampires are afraid of garlic crosses and werewolves are afraid of mercury bullets?"
"We can only make this assumption. This is how we can survive past midnight."
When he said the word "life path", Dong Ning's expression suddenly changed slightly. The same was true for Zhong Fentou. He only felt that this word was very familiar.
"Shenglu...shenglu...shenglu..." Zhong split his head and chewed the word slowly, and said: "I always feel that this word seems to have a deep impression."
"Do you also feel...this feeling?" Dong Ning lifted the bangs on her forehead and said, "I just said it casually, but I always felt that this word had a very deep impression on me before I lost my memory..."
Although Dong Ning was basically certain that she and Zhongfentou and others must know each other, but now, she is even more certain.
"Why on earth did we come to this town?"
This is Dong Ning's most puzzling question.
This small town doesn't look like a tourist attraction.
And the most important thing is, there are 365 days in a year, so good to die, but why did you choose to come here on such a special day like today?
This is too much of a coincidence!
"I have a hypothesis. Could it be that we... knew about the specialness of this day in advance and deliberately chose to come here on this day?"
Hearing Dong Ning's statement, Zhong Fentou felt it was ridiculous.
"Isn't this impossible? If we knew it in advance, wouldn't it be too ridiculous to come here?" Zhong Fentou couldn't understand. Isn't this deliberately seeking death?
"For example, we may be folklorists who study supernatural phenomena, or even some who specialize in research... similar to Area 51 in the United States..."
Area 51 sounds ridiculous, but it's not as ridiculous as Shadow Curse.
"We must have known more before we lost our memories..."
Having said this, Dong Ning took a step forward and walked towards the stairs. Zhong Fen hesitated for a moment and then followed. He couldn't let the woman go up, so he stayed where he was.
Soon, the two arrived at the top floor.
In the narrow corridor, there is only one door.
"The dog's barking came from inside, right?" Zhong Fen swallowed his head and said, "What are we doing now?"
"Although it may be an evil spirit, we don't rule out the possibility that there are living people inside." Dong Ning lowered her voice and said to each other: "I'll knock on the door first, and then we'll run downstairs and take a look downstairs."
If you run from here to the corner of the stairs downstairs, you can still see the door. At that time, it will be determined whether the person who opened the door is a human or a ghost. If it is a human, everything will be easy to say. If it is a ghost... then he will naturally run away.
Dong Ning walked to the door, immediately raised her hand, and was about to knock on the door when she suddenly discovered the peephole.
She walked up and got closer to the cat's eye.
She was also very nervous during this process.
It happened that the moonlight was shining into the room at this time, and through the peephole, she could clearly see the scene inside.
She didn't see any dogs within the range she saw, but she did see a cage. Obviously, this was where the dogs usually lived.
She continued to look for a while, but still didn't see anyone.
Just when she was about to knock on the door, suddenly...
She saw a person holding a red umbrella and walked into Maoyan's field of vision!
That person's face was basically completely covered by the red umbrella, so he couldn't see clearly at all!
