My mind was dizzy, and things in my field of vision seemed to be covered with a thick veil. The sound of traffic coming from the main road in the distance seemed erratic, far and near, unreal, as if I was dreaming.
After walking in such an uncomfortable and drowsy state for who knows how long, his mind finally regained some ability to think. Yu Sheng stopped hesitantly and looked back at the way he came.
It was almost completely dark, and the street lights along the way were lit early. He was walking on a narrow street near his home. The low old residential buildings on both sides of the road were like two rows of beasts crawling in the night, and those on the first floor were
The "base business" privately renovated by the residents spreads warm lights to the outside, dispelling the cold feeling in his heart.
cold?
Suddenly, Yu Sheng seemed to feel the coldness that penetrated his heart and bone marrow again, felt the blade-like freezing rain falling on his skin, and felt those two cold, smooth eyes - the eyes of the frog looking at him.
.
He suddenly suffocated, and after more than ten seconds, he seemed to suddenly remember how to breathe again. He gasped for air and quickly looked down at his chest.
At this moment, he had an illusion. He felt as if there was still a big hole in his chest. He felt that he had no heart. His chest was as silent and cold as an extinguished furnace. But the next second, he felt himself again.
The heartbeat was beating loudly, and I even seemed to hear a particularly clear "pop" sound in my ears... Yes, living people have heartbeats.
He is still alive and his heart was not eaten by a weird giant frog.
But those crazy fragments of memories washed over his mind like a tsunami. No matter how much he ignored it, he could not get rid of his own memory. Yu Sheng thought of the rain, the door painted on the wall, and the door.
Huge frog... He tried to tell himself that it was just an illusion, but this idea was quickly shaken as the memory washed away repeatedly and became clearer.
He died once, but I don't know why, but he is still alive now, and is walking home - he is almost there, and there are still two crossings left.
This is the most evil thing among all the evil things I encountered after coming to this evil city.
There were glances nearby, and Yu Sheng noticed that his unusual behavior at this time seemed to have attracted the attention of passers-by. Someone next to him was hesitant to approach, perhaps wanting to ask if he needed help - he quickly waved his hand, no
I talked too much with passers-by, and then I quickly walked out of the place.
He didn't know what was happening to him, but stopping on the road and thinking about it obviously didn't help solve his confusion.
He hurriedly crossed the path, left the last street near the old community, and walked towards his "home" in this city.
Although we had only passed two crossings, the surrounding environment was obviously a little more desolate and deserted - it was as if we had entered a forgotten corner of the city. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. In the end, Yu Sheng was by his side.
The only thing that followed him was the cold street lamp, and after walking for a while, he saw the old big house standing in the night, which seemed to be separated from the surrounding buildings.
It was a large, unremarkable house, a three-story old house with mottled walls and a sloping roof. Although the old doors and windows were old, they were still clean and complete - such a house looked like it was not strictly managed decades ago.
The "self-built small buildings" that were privately built in the urban villages at that time have become historical relics that have stuck in urban construction management bugs with the passage of time...
Yu Sheng didn't quite understand what kind of urban construction and management system this "boundary city" had that was very different from what he remembered. After all, he had only been here for two months, and he wasted no time in staying behind closed doors because of caution at the beginning.
He has just adapted to the new life here and figured out the situation in the surrounding area - but he knows one thing very well.
This big house was his only safe place to stay in this dangerous and illegal city - at least when he was in the house, he didn't see the shadow of those evil spirits.
Although the big house itself also had many things that seemed strange to him.
Yu Sheng took a breath, held the supermarket shopping bag still in his hand, walked through the cold light of the street lamp, came to the door, took out the key and opened the door.
The door of the old house creaked open, and Yu Sheng entered the house and turned on the light - although this house was almost completely different from the "home" in his memory, he still felt it clearly at the moment the light came on.
Some kind of... solidity.
He turned around and closed the door, shutting out the city night.
Then he threw the things he bought from the supermarket on the shelf at the door of the kitchen where he turned right, then hurriedly walked through the somewhat empty living room, came to the bathroom mirror, and pulled off the clothes on his chest.
The picture in his memory was so clear and profound that he couldn't help but want to confirm it again and again.
There were no wounds or blood on the chest, as if the "death" had never happened.
Yu Sheng frowned, checked the integrity of his clothes again, and pressed the spot in his memory where the frog had ripped out his heart and lungs. Only then did he truly confirm that he was not an open-minded person now.
"It's so evil..."
He muttered softly, left the bathroom, turned around and walked back to the living room.
Behind him, the surface of the mirror above the sink cracked silently, and then closed quickly and silently...
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Yu Sheng sorted out his messy thoughts. I don't know how long it took, but his extremely tired mind finally calmed down.
Sleep enveloped him.
The feeling of drowsiness lasted for a long time, until a sudden "dong" sound exploded in his mind. The sound sounded like someone hitting a stone with a shovel on his head, and Yu Sheng woke up from his drowsiness instantly.
He opened his eyes in the darkness and was stunned for a moment before realizing that the light in the living room had been turned off at some point.
He clearly remembered that he turned on the light before going to bed!
Warning signs suddenly arose in his heart, and Yu Sheng almost subconsciously reached out to the stick next to him - after arriving in this strange and strange city, the first thing he did was to prepare this self-defense tool for himself.
, although it seems to be of little use at the moment, but as a terrifying erect ape, holding a stick in his hand can at least bring some psychological comfort - then he stood up slowly and cautiously, while paying attention to the people in the darkness.
All movement.
In such a desolate and remote place, it does not seem unimaginable that a burglar would break into the home. It would be better to say that at this moment, Yu Sheng hopes that a burglar will break into the home. At least the thief can be beaten to death with a stick, but not a frog more than one meter high.
.
But there was silence in the living room. There was no sign of intrusion, and no movement of the thief could be heard.
The good news is that you can't hear any frogs either.
With the dim light from the street lamp shining in from the window, Yu Sheng lowered his body and moved around to identify the surroundings. He slowly touched the switch on the wall and raised his hand to turn on the light.
His eyes instantly glowed brightly, scanning the living room in the darkness.
Yu Sheng blinked, feeling that there was something strange in his field of vision, but he couldn't say what was abnormal - but no matter what, at least the surroundings were brighter, and he could now see clearly the situation in the living room.
He bowed his waist slightly and started to inspect every place in the house with a swing stick.
The first floor only has the living room, kitchen and dining room, and an empty room that is temporarily unused. Everything is normal.
He stood at the stairs leading to the second floor and hesitated for a moment, then stepped upstairs.
There are three rooms on the second floor, one of which is his current bedroom, one is filled with sundries, and the last room at the end is locked.
When Yu Sheng came here, the room was locked. He searched all over the big house but never found the key.
He first checked his bedroom and the utility room opposite, and then came to the locked room.
As usual, the door is closed.
In fact, it is not that Yu Sheng has not tried to use some technical means to solve this lock. These technical means include but are not limited to impact drills and hand-held electric saws, but all attempts failed - the impact drills and electric saws were there at that time.
Sparks were popping up in front of the seemingly fragile wooden door, and the drill bit and saw teeth were worn away without even cutting a single mark.
Of course, he also tried to seek more advanced technical means, such as looking for a locksmith. He found three of them. The first two got lost when they arrived in the old city. After wandering around for a long time, he still couldn't find No. 66 Wutong Road. The third one just arrived.
I was hit by a motorcycle when I was crossing the road. I was just discharged from the hospital last week...
It was as if there was some mysterious force preventing Yu Sheng from opening this locked room in his home.
Yes, even though this big house was his only relatively safe place to stay in the city, there were actually many... "wrong" things about the big house itself.
Yu Sheng reached out and grasped the door handle in front of him, tried to turn it, and sure enough, it didn't move at all.
No unexpected "accident" happened, it was still locked.
But whether it was an illusion or not, when he turned the handle in vain... he seemed to hear a faint chuckle.
The laughter came from the other side of the door. It sounded like a young female voice, as if she was laughing at his inability to control a door.
The hair on my hair stood up instantly!
His only safe place in the city, the house where he has lived for two months, is in his home, this room that is always locked... There is someone hiding in it!
