The lights are bright, various neon signs are flashing, and there are many shops and buildings on both sides. It looks like a very prosperous neighborhood.
Is this the place you came to yesterday?
Probably so, I don’t remember clearly. At that time, all my attention was on that restaurant, and I was so hungry that I followed the aroma to the door of the store in a daze... That’s basically it. As for this street I really didn’t pay attention to other details on it.
After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Mo scratched his cheek, looked both ways, and walked forward.
Anyway, it must be right here, and it shouldn't be too far, just look for it. With this idea in mind, he wandered back and forth on the street for a long time, but his brows went from being relaxed at the beginning to becoming more and more frowned.
No, what about the restaurant? What about such a big restaurant?
It was clearly here yesterday, why is it missing today?
There is no shortage of restaurants in this commercial street, but they are not the distinctive restaurants in his impression. He looked carefully and looked at them again and again, walking from the street to the end of the street, but he didn't see it. Even if it's a familiar word...
In the end, Gu Mo began to doubt life. He stood there and raised his fist to his chin, just thinking about it.
What's wrong? He couldn't understand this problem. It was obviously a very simple matter, so why did it suddenly become complicated? Although it is true that I was unable to remember the detailed location, this does not make sense.
After all, even including the community on the other side of the alley, it is a place as big as a booger, at most a little bigger than the Vatican. You might have to zoom in to the limit on the map of the takeout software to find the place name... ...So, I have no reason to come here the next day and not be able to find the store.
No matter how confused I was at the time, logically speaking, it must be near this area!
Standing there and looking around, Gu Mo continued to walk forward. He didn't believe that even yesterday's store itself was the product of his own imagination and imagination. He was more willing to believe that it was because he might not have grasped the distance well, or should it be a little further ahead?
Well, it’s not impossible…
After all, he was in a daze when he came here and walked to the door of the store without knowing it; and he was also absent-minded when he left, and he didn't know when he returned to the snack street.
——I really don’t have much impression of the process...
While characterizing the matter in his mind and rationalizing it, Gu Mo continued to look forward.
He walked like this without giving up for a long time. The shops on both sides gradually became sparse. He looked left and right, then changed the direction and walked over there... It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is exciting. His threshold had been raised to such an extent by the impact of yesterday's delicious food that it was difficult for him to convince himself to accept ordinary food now.
Besides, it’s really good quality and cheap, basically in the same price range, so why can’t we choose the best one?
With this idea in mind, he searched diligently and carefully for an unknown amount of time, but in the end...of course he found nothing.
"Gan oh!"
There was obviously something wrong with this script. Gu Mo stopped in vain and his eyebrows became tangled. He seriously doubted whether he had taken the wrong direction from the beginning, or whether he should have followed his own perception from the beginning and started from another direction. Which direction is better to look for?
This idea is difficult to evaluate. After all, he found that there was no road over there, so he doubtfully walked from the other side. Until now, he has come here——
"Speaking of which...where is this?"
He found that he seemed to be lost. He had just made a roundabout way and failed to find his destination. He even got into it by himself. The city in front of him now seemed strange to him... He had never walked there before. I came here, so I had no impression at all.
Where do I come from? Where am I going?
Why does it seem like every direction is different from the direction I came from, and also seems like every direction is like the direction I came from?
Gu Mo looked around in confusion at the unfamiliar environment, and finally shook his head, not too worried. He picked up the mobile phone in his hand and started searching. Anyway, technology is so advanced now, and it is usually no problem to just bring a mobile phone with you when you go out.
"emmmmm..."
He swiped a few times on his phone, probably because he didn't usually use map navigation. In addition, there were many software applications on his phone, and the various icons were dazzling. He couldn't find the corresponding program for a while... Just when he When I was thinking about downloading a new one, my thumb sliding on the display suddenly stopped.
Is the software I downloaded before bad navigation or something else?
Is it revised now?
Looking at the program option with a simple icon showing "Map (M)", Gu Mo always felt that something was not right. He was silent for a while, and then silently opened the program option.
The map was quickly displayed. He swiped a few times to confirm his location and the fact that he did not recognize the names of the surrounding places. He then searched for the name of the restaurant, but could not find it...
It’s not even available on the takeout software. Is it so low-key?
But I must have missed it today. Not to mention whether I can find it, even if I can find it next time, but I have been delayed for so long, they may have closed.
Sighing, Gu Mo searched for the location of his residence and looked at the route back. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Had he walked this far without knowing it? It felt like just walking back would take close to half an hour.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He made some choices, chose an optimal route, turned on the navigation, turned around a few times, calibrated the direction, and took another step.
Returning in despair with full resentment...
a terrible day.
…………
About ten minutes later.
"It seems like we are getting more and more remote as we go..."
Gu Mo walked on the long ramp, muttering doubtfully. He looked down at the map navigation on his phone, then looked up at his surroundings. He saw the winding and spacious ramp extending like a snake, illuminated by the soft street lights. Below, the granite wall on the right looks solid and thick, and the forest stretching outside the slope is silent in the late night.
The green environment is quite good. I really didn’t know that such a place existed here.
But at this time, it really feels like a horror movie, especially now that I am walking on this road alone.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Mo always felt that the air around him was obviously gradually decreasing, not only the physical temperature in his body, but also a cold feeling in his mind.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he looked at the building complex standing in front of the winding slope, and then turned his eyes to glance at the thick granite wall next to it. There was a bronze plate inlaid there, which seemed to be a road sign, maybe. It's about where it is in the front.
——"Miyagi Prefecture Sugisawa No. 3 High School".
Huh? I originally thought there was a park or attraction in front of me, but it turned out to be a school?
And I have never heard of the name of this school.
Gu Mo carefully searched his memory and confirmed that he had no impression. Moreover, the style of the name was not quite right. After all, "XX City Middle School", "XX No. 1 Middle School", "XX No. 2 Middle School" and the like The name of the school is a familiar and familiar format to him.
For example, the current "Miyagi Prefecture Sugizawa No. 3 High School" seems out of place. It is obvious that she is not a coquettish bitch with a style of painting.
What is Miyagi? What is County Shanze?
Urban village? Or the brand naming of a certain company?
A series of questions emerged in his mind. Gu Mo confirmed his route again. This was indeed the shortest distance. It was basically a straight line. He had to take shortcuts through this campus on the way... Well, since it was all on the map. If it shows like this, then it is correct.
He relaxed and continued to move forward.
The coldness in the air lingered, and there was a faint pressure coming from all around, as if there was something peeping in the darkness where the light of the street lamps and the shadows of the night intertwined... Gu Mo didn't like this very much. Feeling, but he is no longer a child, so he naturally knows that this is just his own psychological effect.
However.
A few more minutes passed. When he walked very close to the main building complex of the school in front of him, and just passed by the road in front of the school gate, he suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to shake. The source of the earthquake came from the side. School.
Gu Mo turned his head and looked in the direction of the school strangely, and found that the entire teaching building was dark. What was the movement just now?
Could it be that there has been any major repair or construction project in this high school recently? But it’s already this time, so there’s no reason to say there’s still construction going on at the construction site late at night.
…………
"Can the talisman be revealed casually?"
"No...human beings without the power of magic cannot do this! Generally speaking, this is the case!"
Under the night, two people who looked like high school students were running wildly on the long winding slope. The one in front was dressed in black and was already breathing heavily. The one in the back looked fine, and even had some extra energy. Liqiang asked questions that puzzled him.
"Go to the right and take a shortcut!" The boy behind him took a look at the road in front and estimated how long it would take to get to school. He was more familiar with the terrain and made a decisive decision.
The high school student in black in front naturally had nothing to object to and quickly followed suit.
"The content this time is too powerful, and the seal has been aged for a long time, and is as fragile as a piece of paper..."
"But when I hear you talk about "curse", I still can't imagine it..."
Both of them were in very good physical condition and were rapidly exchanging information and opinions while approaching their destination quickly.
…………
The other side.
"It's all fake, it's all fake..."
Gu Mo was mumbling this, forcing himself to calm down and face the scene happening in front of him.
In front of him, the originally solid ground seemed to melt, turning from a solid state of matter into a liquid state. In his eyes, the whole world became more and more distorted, funny and absurd, and the roads seemed to be glowing with water. The river of black energy turned the ground into a vast ocean filled with purple and black whirlpools...
In this nightmarish "sea", there are still several strange "things" swimming around. They can't be seen clearly, but the "ID" and "health bar" displayed clearly give them a sense of existence.
“???(100%)”
“???(100%)”
“???(100%)”
Moreover, behind the health bar, there is basically a skull pattern, and the bright red color has a bit of an ominous meaning.
In this chaotic illusory vision, they are all well-deserved incarnations of nightmares. Just like in the oppressive, suffocating, dark and lightless world like the deep sea, I am floating alone on the sea, and there is a huge shadow swimming under the sea... …
Well, in the face of such a sudden turn of events, where the whole world was suddenly overturned without any warning, Gu Mo's performance was relatively calm, and he neither turned pale nor had his two sides trembled. Collapse in front of him, his face does not change, but he is still very different.
That's how he looked.
"There is nothing to be afraid of anymore..."
After all, you know that they are all fake and are just deranged fantasies caused by your own mental problems, so what else is there to be afraid of? Moreover, I have made up my mind to return to the world of normal people no matter what, and I will never give in easily...
boom! !
The strong sense of oppression brought about substantial wind pressure, and a huge shadow jumped out of the "water" like a whale. It was filled with black air. It was as huge as a hill, and its appearance was ferocious and deformed, making it look like something grotesque coming out of a nightmare. Same.
Then like a signal, other huge shadows rushed out of the ground one after another!
Huge bulging naked eyes...
The black tentacles waving randomly...
Densely packed insect arthropods...
There were even fragments of the human body, hands and feet, and all sorts of messy biological tissues, all spliced onto a bloated, rotten body, creating an image that was extremely disgusting.
Moreover, the flesh and blood are blurred and dripping with blood——
Especially all kinds of sticky green and black mucus, which kept squirming and dripping down, and stretched into threads at the torn tissue breaks. This mucus was mixed with unknown tissue fragments and unknown things. The yellow and green paste is rolling in the open chrysanthemum-shaped mouthparts——
Finally, accompanied by the lingering black air, it spewed out like a fountain.
Maybe it's a psychological effect, but there seems to be an illusory stench coming towards you...
"Nima!!"
Gu Mo, who had remained calm just now, suddenly changed his expression, turned around and ran away.
He can indeed endure false fear, but he cannot accept such real disgust - fighting is okay, but what does it mean to have feces on a broom?
