What happened next was all shattered into a chaotic mess of light and shadow.`
...It seemed vaguely that someone was laughing loudly, someone said something in surprise, and someone was mumbling as if chanting sutras, like talking or singing...Lights, all kinds of lights, came from all over the place.
All kinds of darkness flashed past, and the fragmented and messy scenes were like a montage, impacting the eyeballs——
When Lin Sanjiu finally came to her senses, the pale moonlight shone on her shoulders. She didn't know when or why, but she was already outside the residential building.
"Hurry, hurry up, sister," Ji Shanqing pulled her forward with one hand, running so fast that Lin Sanjiu felt like she was about to fall to the ground at any moment: "...We don't have much time!"
Her lungs felt as if they were being burned on fire. Just to keep from falling behind, Lin Sanjiu had to grit her teeth and persevere - until Ji Shanqing, after looking back several times, led her into a building.
After entering the residential building, she took a few breaths while the two slowed down, and glanced at the girl who had been following them since just now.
"What...what is going on?"
"Didn't you see clearly just now?" As soon as he entered the corridor, Ji Shanqing immediately lowered his voice. There was also a heavy breathing in his words, as if he had just experienced a lot of consumption.
However, he seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of Lin Sanjiu's question: "...The woman suddenly attacked us. I found the time to maneuver and let her most powerful blow hit the other bald head - but he was injured.
It doesn't seem heavy, I think they will catch up again soon."
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes by the light in his hand.
In her blurry vision, she realized that Ji Shanqing's shoulders and back had suffered several severe attacks, and his coat was deeply opened as if it had been torn by something, but through a
There were layers of torn clothes, but his skin could never be seen.
"It's okay, it's a gift bag," he seemed to sense Lin Sanjiu's gaze even though he didn't look back, "...it's just a little bit of the outer packaging that's broken, it doesn't affect me at all."
She nodded somewhat blankly.
"Thank you so much for just now." The strange girl took a step forward and walked through the narrow corridor side by side with her. "If he hadn't held back those two demons and created this for me,
If I have a chance to escape, I'm afraid I will end up with the same fate as Sister Cui."
Being held in Ji Shanqing's arms, the light coming out was hazy, flickering on and off; but even in such a dim environment, Lin Sanjiu could still see the girl's appearance clearly.
With smooth black hair, her fair face is as soft as a summer lake. In terms of facial features, she may not be very beautiful, but her eyebrows and eyes are very clear and comfortable, and her temperament has a softness.
The moist sweetness makes people want to linger on her face for a long time.
To be polite, Lin Sanjiu quickly looked away: "Do you know who the man and the woman are?"
Before the girl could speak, Ji Shanqing answered first: "I don't know. But I have an idea -"
"What?" the girl asked, turning her head.
Ji Shanqing was silent for a while and did not answer. He walked in front without looking back, and checked every door he passed lightly. He didn't know what he was looking for; it took a while.
Just when Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but want to ask, he suddenly said: "Forget it - there are still many unexplainable parts of my guess. Let me think about it before I talk about it."
The girl said "Huh", moved closer to Lin Sanjiu, and said softly to her: "I don't know why your friend brought us back again. I really don't want to go back to these buildings."
When she finished speaking, Ji Shanqing stopped in front of a door. He turned back and glanced at the two of them. He didn't explain, he just bent down and pointed his light at the door lock.
Although it was only their first meeting, Lin Sanjiu felt a vague sense of intimacy towards this girl. It was as if she was very familiar with her. With a little comfort, she nodded towards the girl.
He turned around and asked: "...what are you doing?"
With a click, the door lock that had just been opened by Ji Shanqing answered this question for him.
"Let me go in and take a look first," he opened the door and stepped in cautiously: "...the best place to hide a drop of water is the sea. Although it is not really a sea, after hiding in
, those two people wouldn’t have found us so easily.”
"Is the door unlocked?" Lin Sanjiu took the girl's hand and followed her in a panic.
"It looks like it's not locked tightly. Maybe the person who closed the door was in a hurry." Ji Shanqing responded and carefully raised it up. The silver light broke free from the restraints and immediately illuminated a place in front of several people.
Logically speaking, the place you enter should be the living room; but no one can tell what this living room looks like now - because everywhere you look is covered with layers of cloth.
The people who lived here must have gone to great lengths to cover the floors, walls, and furniture with all kinds of cloths. Quilts and pillows were spread on the ground; the whole house looked like a cloth.
The ocean would look softer if it were not dirty and old.
"...Don't move here, I'll go see if anyone is there." Ji Shanqing told Lin Sanjiu and the others, and then walked into the depths of the house.`
It seemed that not long ago, she had said the same thing to him... Lin Sanjiu thought in a daze.
She didn't know why her legs felt weak for a while, as if she had been running vigorously for a long time; by the time she realized what she was doing, she was already squatting on the ground.
"Are you relieved to let him go in alone?" The girl also squatted down and asked softly.
Lin Sanjiu shook her head blankly, not understanding what she meant. The girl glanced at her and stopped asking.
Ji Shanqing left and did not come back for a long time. After the two of them waited in silence for a long time, Lin Sanjiu suddenly turned around and asked, "What's your name?"
"Does the name still have meaning now?" The girl sighed and smiled at her: "You can call me whatever you want."
Then what should I call her? Lin Sanjiu thought with a frown.
In the quiet air filled with dust, her thought process seemed to last an eternity.
Finally, Ji Shanqing's sudden footsteps interrupted her thoughts - it was like a thunder blast in her ears out of the air. Lin Sanjiu shuddered and hurriedly stood up.
"I've seen it. There's no one inside." Ji Shanqing came out again, looking a little tired for some reason: "Let's hide here for now - sister, you sit down first, and I'll lock the door."
After taking two steps, he turned to the two of them with a serious expression: "...No matter what happens outside, there must be no sound at all, okay?"
The girl beside him nodded, and when he turned around, she immediately asked softly in Lin Sanjiu's ear: "...Is there really no one in the back room?"
She was stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
Ji Shanqing, who was locking the door, looked up and seemed to have said something. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't hear clearly; because at the same time, the girl whispered to her: "...I just saw a figure walking inside.
.”
Lin Sanjiu was startled, her heart beating loudly in her chest. She glanced at Ji Shanqing's back suspiciously, and was about to call him, but immediately shut her mouth.
No, no, he just checked the back room, and it took him so long...it's a bit abnormal.
"He left us outside, what were we doing alone in the house? I think he didn't tell you something." The girl lowered her voice: "You want me to say - ah, look!"
Looking up in the direction she pointed, Lin Sanjiu caught a dark shadow out of the corner of his eye - that thick black shadow flashed past the door of the master bedroom, and the shadow cast from the crack in the door was caught.
He was deformed, but he was indeed a human being.
There are really people in the back room.
Lin Sanjiu jumped up as soon as the idea came to her mind - the noise she made immediately caught the attention of Ji Shanqing, who stood by the security door, stared at her with some suspicion and asked
: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened, and she looked at him and the back room for a while, unable to say anything for a while——
"It seems he didn't lock the door." The girl came up and said softly, "...If you don't lock the door, what if those two people come?"
"Yes..." Lin Sanjiu was reminded by her and also noticed the security door behind Ji Shanqing. She was right, the door lock was not locked. He did not touch the anti-theft chain and still let it
Dangling dangling from the door - "Why didn't you lock the door?"
"Isn't it too late for me?" Ji Shanqing suddenly lowered his eyes, as if he didn't dare to look at her because of a guilty conscience: "You should find a place to sit down and rest for a while... I think your face is not very good.
.”
Yes, there is definitely something wrong with him. After all, he is still too young and doesn't know how to pretend...
Lin Sanjiu tensed up her nerves and sat down slowly.
The next second. With the sound of the door lock, the security door was suddenly opened. Even though she thought she was ready, before she and the girl could react, Ji Shanqing had already stepped out.
At the door, the security door was closed with a clang; just as Lin Sanjiu jumped up and rushed towards the door, the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole and turned was heard from the door lock.
She's locked in the house!
"Ji Shanqing, what are you doing -" She held the railing on the security door with both hands and just cursed. Then she heard the girl behind her scream "There's someone!" and quickly turned around.
Head away.
The bedroom door was opened at some point, revealing the person in the room - not one person. It was a silent group of people standing in twos and threes, shrouded in shadows, looking at her without saying a word.
The person closest to the door moved and took a step out. As if hearing some instructions, the crowd behind him moved and slowly poured out of the bedroom.
"What should I do?" The girl was so shocked that she almost burst into tears. She grabbed Lin Sanjiu's clothes and asked, "Who are those people?"
"Who are those people?" Lin Sanjiu immediately turned around, and in fear and panic, he yelled at Ji Shanqing who was still standing outside the door: "What are you doing by locking us two here!"
Ji Shanqing said nothing.
Through the railing, he raised his head higher and looked at Lin Sanjiu with a trace of bitterness in his eyes. After a few seconds, he said softly in a low voice: "Sister, you said there are two people... where is the other one?"
Woolen cloth?"
Lin Sanjiu looked at him blankly, feeling that she didn't understand.
"From the beginning to the end, it's just you and me..." Ji Shanqing said softly, as if he was afraid that the louder voice would irritate her: "I confirmed it when I went in to look for the key.
Sure enough, I have been talking to the air, as if there is a third party present. But now there is no one else in this house except you."
Lin Sanjiu turned her head sharply, the girl was still standing there, every trace of fear was so real; the figures coming out of the bedroom gradually filled the house one after another, getting closer and closer to her
.
"How is it possible? Don't lie to me -"
"Sister, I know you probably won't understand, but no matter what, I still have to finish my words before I can leave." Ji Shanqing lowered his head, sighed deeply, and rubbed his face tiredly. "You see
None of the things exist. The reason why you see them is because you are insane now. All the people living in these houses are the same as you... I will go out now and attract the attention of the pair of evolvers from the outside.
——Although they don’t have the ability to use it, I guess they are also evolved——So they will not search people from room to room in a short period of time... Relatively speaking, you will be safe for a period of time.
Yes. You can't pick the door lock yourself now, so why not just stay here and wait for me to come back."
Taking a breath, Ji Shanqing bit his lip, glanced at Lin Sanjiu, who was confused and frightened, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "I don't know why, they want to take all the
People who are incompetent and have mental illness are kept in the house...I went out this time, hoping to find an answer. But...if I don't come back, when you hear someone opening the door or calling the door, you must run and leave the bedroom.
out of the window."
Libao was obviously also scared. He stretched out his slightly trembling cold fingers and held Lin Sanjiu's outstretched hand. After a pause, he said softly.
"Sister, I'm leaving." (To be continued.)
