Seeing Bai Ling sitting on the bench and thinking about it for a long time without coming up with a result, Lin Cheng raised his wrist and looked at the time. He found that the two of them had been staying there for almost an hour. He sighed helplessly and said to Bai Ling.
: "Okay, don't think about the unimportant things now! Although you have changed a lot, at least your memory and reason are still there. As long as you have these, the past things are not really important..."
At this point, Lin Cheng smacked his lips twice, secretly thinking that he really dared to say anything. If Bai Ling was exposed, he would be like a completely different person. This matter would be a big deal for anyone.
However, in order to continue the search quickly, he had to open his eyes and tell lies.
But Bai Ling nodded after hearing his words. This nod made Lin Cheng even more convinced that this woman's character might have been screwed up, because if the former Bai Ling was listening,
After what he said just now, he would have carefully savored this passage in his mind for a long time, so as to find the loopholes in it to refute him, but now Bai Ling seems a little silly, and he actually obeyed without any doubts.
his words……
Lin Cheng sighed deeply in his heart. He really didn't want to waste time on Bai Ling anymore, because according to his past experience, if he wanted to find the real reason for the huge changes in this woman, he felt that he would probably have to do this.
He has to search the whole city, but now he knows nothing about this city. Forcibly staying here to decipher the secrets of Bai Ling is simply a meaningless and impossible thing.
.
After Bai Ling figured it out, he stood up from the bench and walked to his side. Lin Cheng immediately put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind and pointed at the building not far ahead that might be a supermarket.
He opened his mouth and said to her: "As the saying goes, 'You can tell the whole leopard by looking at one spot.' This city is too big. If we want to unlock its secrets, we must conduct a carpet-like search. It just so happens that our current location is
At the city gate, let’s start the search from this building!”
After that, he casually stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, lit it, smoked it, and walked quickly towards the building.
Walking up to this three-story building, which was equivalent to an ordinary building, Lin Cheng glanced up and down a few times, then pricked up his ears and listened. Seeing that there was no sound inside, he no longer hesitated and tightened the Duanhun in his hand.
Sword, he raised his steps and stepped into the door of this building.
The door of this building is a transparent glass door that opens wide on both sides. Decades have passed, but the two glass doors still look as new as ever, as if someone had cleaned them just a moment ago. If Lin Cheng hadn't had excellent eyesight, I'm afraid that
I just ran into the glass door and didn't even know it.
After entering the building, Lin Cheng first looked around and found that it was so dark that even he couldn't see anything at all. He had no choice but to take out the flashlight and turn it on, and then he could barely see what was going on inside the house.
This is a spacious hall of several thousand square meters. There are neatly arranged "shelves" in the hall. The shapes of these "shelves" are very simple. At a glance, they seem to be suspended in rows in mid-air, which is also confirmed from the side.
This is indeed a building like a supermarket.
It's just that there are no products on the shelves in this supermarket at this time. The spotless shelves are empty and reflect a dazzling light under the flashlight.
Feeling something was not right, Lin Cheng searched faster and faster. In a short time, he had browsed this huge supermarket from beginning to end. In the end, he found that, let alone clues, there was even a
There were no discarded wrapping paper, and the entire supermarket looked as if it had just been completed and cleaned. There were no goods at all, and not a trace of people.
"Is something wrong?"
Unwilling to give up, he searched again and after confirming that he could not find any clues here, Lin Cheng frowned and muttered to himself.
He has always kept one argument in mind, that is, no matter where it is, as long as people or animals have lived in it, no matter how many years have passed, there will be more or less traces of those people's or animals' lives left in this place.
.
But this futuristic supermarket in terms of scale and facilities broke this argument. Lin Cheng didn't believe that those people didn't come here to search after entering this city decades ago. After all, such a conspicuous building
Everyone would see the building at a glance and come in to take a look, but he couldn't find any trace of those people coming in. How strange this was.
He took a strong drag on the cigarette and felt that his fingers were a little hot. Lin Cheng, who was frowning and thinking, realized that the cigarette in his hand had been burned out, so he subconsciously threw the cigarette butt on the ground and prepared to stamp it out, but when he just said that he would throw the cigarette butt in the supermarket
Before he had time to step on the floor, he saw that the cigarette butt that was lying on the ground and still glowing red had disappeared at some point. No matter how hard he looked for it, he could not find the cigarette butt at all.
Not only that, when he was almost lying on the ground trying to search for traces of cigarette butts, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, because when he just lay down, he suddenly realized that the floor under his feet should logically exist.
Not only the cigarette butts, but also the ashes he accidentally flicked down just now!
Cigarette butts and ashes are equivalent to the traces of his activities left here. In any place, unless the place is exposed to the wind, sun, rain, soaking and snow all day long, these little traces can remain for a very long time, but
Strangely, the cigarette butts and ashes that should have been extremely conspicuous on the clean and smooth floor under his feet disappeared inexplicably, as if they had never appeared. If the smell of cigarette smoke in Lin Cheng's mouth had not dissipated, he might have
You have to wonder if you have smoked just now...
"Could it be...?"
Suddenly realizing something, Lin Cheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and ran out of the supermarket in a flash. He returned to the street where he just stepped and crouched down to search. But at this time, on the spotless metallic street,
But there were no traces of human activity, no footprints, no cigarette butts, and no ash!
"I see……"
After looking around for a while, he couldn't find the cigarette butts he had thrown on the ground when he was standing there. Lin Cheng raised his head and closed his eyes to feel it. He made sure that there was no wind blowing here. The corner of his mouth suddenly twisted into a smile, and he didn't know whether he was laughing or crying.
expression.
"I said, what on earth are you doing? Didn't you just agree to search that building? Why are you here again in the blink of an eye?"
At this moment, Bai Ling, who was almost forgotten by Lin Cheng, suddenly walked out of the supermarket. Seeing Lin Cheng standing in the middle of the street with an incomprehensible expression on his face, he couldn't help asking him unhappily. (To be continued.
