The night is deeper.
After Xu Shuo was busy working on his laptop at home for a while, he looked at the time and saw that it was getting late. After sending a good night message to Xu Xi, he planned to take a rest and go to bed.
But at this time, his cell phone was called.
And the person on the phone.
It was actually Pei Hong.
"Hello?"
Listening to what was said on the other side, Xu Shuo's eyes moved slightly, and he hung up the phone after agreeing.
He quickly changed out of his pajamas and planned to go out, but as he approached the door, another call came to his cell phone.
This time it was Captain Zheng from the Security Bureau.
"Hello, what's up?"
"...Black Rain Area?"
"I may not be able to go there now. I have to go to Dongshan District first."
"Why don't you let Luo Kai pass?"
"...Then make him turn around."
"I have to go over there, sorry."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shuo looked at the call interface and frowned slightly.
Before Themis left today, she went to clear out the hidden abyss around the world.
But it had only been one night, so why did so many abyssal invasions suddenly break out in such a short period of time?
Why, Themis cleared the abyss in reverse?
…
…
Dongshan District.
Shengcheng Garden.
Pei Sheng sat shivering in the private swimming pool No. 101.
There was a pure white halo around him.
The aperture blocked the darkness outside and protected him from harm, but the white light also illuminated the thing outside, making it even more frightening. It was so pale that it made Pei Sheng tremble with fear.
The thing made no movement, just hunched over and staring at him with a pair of empty, pure black eyes.
It has no hair on its body. If you look closely, it looks like some kind of hairless cat. Its arms are long to the soles of its feet, and its exposed nails drag the floor. It stands there with a hunched body like an ape.
The thick dark substance is flowing on this thing, constantly seeping out of its body like dripping water, but it seems that it can't finish seeping out.
The light from the aperture reflects out, making its pale body and facial expression with only eyes even more terrifying.
And it just stared straight at Pei Sheng.
Pei Sheng trembled and glanced.
Just now he was filming with his mobile phone at the door.
This thing suddenly hit the camera.
Pei Sheng was so frightened that his scalp went numb and he threw his phone away. The next moment, the thing's claws clawed at him.
Pei Sheng screamed and turned around to run away.
It turned out that he was actually inside the swimming pool, not at the door as he thought!
So Pei Sheng, who turned around, naturally hit the door.
But also at this time, the jade pendant he was wearing emitted a burst of magical light, shrouding his whole body in it, and the monster that rushed towards him was directly bounced away.
Then……
This has become the current confrontation scene.
The monster stood a foot away from him, staring at him in the circle of light.
Pei Sheng pulled the door handle hard. After finding that he could not do anything, he did not dare to go into the darkness and venture elsewhere in the swimming pool. He just leaned in front of the door shivering.
The entire swimming pool complex was dark.
The blinds on the top of the wall did not let out any light.
And with the light emitted from his own body, Pei Sheng could vaguely see the water splashing in the swimming pool a few meters away.
"Wow..."
"Wow..."
It will sound every thirty seconds.
He didn't know what the sound was.
But soon.
Pei Sheng saw something crawling over from the direction of the swimming pool, with black viscous liquid flowing on its pale body, and then stood staring at him from a foot away.
Just a few minutes.
There were densely packed hairless cats standing next to him.
Those pairs of dark and empty eyes were staring straight at him. There was no live movement in the silent venue, only the coldness.
"Woooooooo..."
Pei Sheng was finally frightened and cried.
He looked at the monsters with a sad face: "Brothers, if you have any grievances, just tell me. As the son of the Pei family, I will definitely spare no effort to help you achieve your wishes! Why is it like this, right?"
The things around him didn't react at all, they just stared at him quietly, as if waiting for something.
Of course Pei Sheng knew what they were waiting for.
Wait for the treasure in your body to fail.
He quickly took out the jade pendant he was wearing on his chest, but he didn't dare to take it off for fear that it would accidentally fall to the ground with a shaking hand.
That would be a scene that monsters would love to see.
But look at this jade pendant.
Pei Sheng was stunned for a moment and then remembered something.
He hurriedly groped around himself, only to find that there was nothing in his pants except keys, and he was only wearing a work shirt.
So... Pei Sheng turned his attention to the lounge chair a few meters away.
When I came in before.
Pei Sheng took off his coat as he walked.
The coat he took off was left casually on the lounge chair over there. When he saw that the water in the swimming pool was black, he became angry and turned around and left, forgetting to pick up his clothes at all.
And then unfortunately...
Because Pei Sheng disliked the Northeast Red Flower Tips bag prepared for him by his elder brother, he usually put the tips bag in the inner pocket of his coat so that it would not be exposed from the belt buckle even when walking.
but now.
His life-saving items seemed to have been thrown away by him.
Pei Sheng suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
He looked at several monsters about a foot away, then held the jade pendant on his chest and cautiously moved one step to the side against the wall.
at the same time.
The heads of the monsters also moved slightly with each step he took.
Pei Sheng paused when he saw this, but after he made sure that the aperture on his body would not change due to movement, he continued to move with a heart.
However, after walking about three meters.
Pei Sheng suddenly realized that the air in front of him seemed to be sticky, as if he had suddenly fallen into a swamp and was unable to move.
It's hard to move even an inch, but you can still move.
However, when he stretched out his hand, he felt that he was touching a membrane.
This made Pei Sheng feel that if he broke this membrane, he would probably be attacked by a group of monsters, which made him stop.
Could this be the reason why those monsters all kept a distance of one foot?
But his coat was already one meter away.
Pei Sheng looked at the coat eagerly.
There was an ugly Northeastern red flower brocade bag inside, and the brocade bag contained a protective charm that his elder brother had begged for him.
It's obviously very close.
We are so far apart.
If there is a chance to come back, he will definitely...
While Pei Sheng was silently sad, he suddenly found that the halo around his body seemed to dim a little. Seeing this, he suddenly looked back and saw that the monsters were getting closer to him unknowingly.
This change made Pei Sheng feel cold all over.
At this moment.
Pei Sheng suddenly remembered what someone said this afternoon.
If only there was one year left in this world.
What will happen to him?
Only now, now he might have less than an hour left in his world.
So what does he do with the remaining time?
Pei Sheng looked at the coat one meter away.
Still stretched out his hand.
While he felt the uncomfortable sticky membrane, he noticed the halo of light on his body.
It was not until he took two difficult steps that the brightness of the aperture did not shrink anymore, and Pei Sheng continued to move forward with confidence.
But just two more steps later.
He saw a monster standing next to the coat.
Tick...
Tick...
The black sticky substance dripped down from it and dripped on the coat, dyeing the fancy dark blue suit a deeper ink color.
Pei Sheng's fingers froze: "..."
It was too far away before.
He could only vaguely see the coat, but couldn't see the monsters in the darkness at all.
And now after he took these few steps.
Then I suddenly discovered it.
It turned out that in the entire swimming pool, whether it was the places he could see or the places he couldn't see, there were already countless monsters in the darkness!
It was like he was standing at a helpless crossroads, with darkness invading from all directions, leaving no room for escape.
Pei Sheng: "...WDNMD."
If there is a chance to do it again.
He definitely wouldn't be so crazy that he comes swimming in the middle of the night!
…
"Bang!"
Just as Pei Sheng was gritting his teeth secretly, there was a sudden sound from the door of the venue behind him, which shocked Pei Sheng and quickly looked back.
"Bang!"
A sound sounded again. .
In the darkness, the door could be seen shaking slightly.
"Bang!"
Another sound.
Pei Sheng was stunned for a moment, then an extremely bright light burst out of his eyes, and he stared at the door expectantly.
Then……
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
It rang several times in succession.
But the door was still intact.
Pei Sheng: "..."
Expectations will also be dissipated.
After ringing a few times, the door became quiet again. I don't know if the people outside gave up or were thinking of new ways.
In short, while the door was shaking, the monsters in the venue didn't even look at him, but still stared at Pei Sheng eagerly.
at this time.
The aura around him dimmed a little again.
Pei Sheng quickly turned around and looked around, and sure enough he saw those monsters getting closer to him without any warning, without any reaction at all.
"Brother, hurry up!"
Pei Sheng wanted to cry: "If I wait any longer, I really have to explain here. I haven't dated the girl yet, I haven't married a wife yet, and I'm only 28 years old this year..."
"Boom!"
Just when he was thinking about it.
A huge sound suddenly echoed in the silent venue.
The door that had been motionless before was suddenly kicked open, and then, a pair of long legs wrapped in black trousers slowly retracted.
The light of incandescent lamps shone in from outside the door.
But it only stops at the door frame.
They cannot penetrate the darkness within.
next moment.
In Pei Sheng's dull eyes, the countless monsters in the venue rushed towards the door crazily, crowding the entire narrow door into an airtight seal.
They swayed and twisted in an irregular manner, like entangled tree roots, like raging waves, crazy and chaotic.
But just like the light from outside cannot penetrate in.
These monsters are also stuck in the door and cannot get out.
Pei Sheng was weak, pitiful and helpless, huddled against the wall.
He also wanted to go to the door.
But after seeing this crazy sight.
He didn't dare move over.
"come out."
at this time.
There seemed to be a clear voice coming from outside the door.
Pei Sheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the familiar voice sounded again.
"If you don't come out, you'll die in there."
It's a familiar voice.
Still a familiar tone.
Pei Sheng suddenly shouted over there with tears streaming down his face: "I, I want to go out too! But those things are blocking the door and I can't get through!"
"Don't worry about them, just walk over here."
"……All right."
Pei Sheng gritted his teeth when he heard this.
He didn't hesitate much, he just took a tentative step in that direction, stretched out his hand tremblingly to explore the way, and then touched something sticky.
The group of monsters blocked the door and squirmed, squeezing Pei Sheng's range of activities to less than one square meter. Suddenly, they no longer maintained the safe distance they had just now.
However, the body of the monster closest to him continued to melt, and its pale body melted into a puddle of black water.
Pei Sheng moved over.
The goo melts whenever you touch it.
He originally thought that these things were destroyed by the aperture, but when he looked down, he saw that the black water was squirming and melting into other monsters.
Guchi Guchi...
As he got closer and closer to the door, Pei Sheng fell into the group of surging and squirming monsters.
Then there was a sticky and strange sound in his ears.
"This damn thing is really disgusting!"
Pei Sheng couldn't help but whine in grievance outside.
"Be quick and don't spar."
"woo woo woo woo……"
Pei Sheng held on to the wall with one hand and slowly sneaked, while he stretched his other hand in front to carefully explore the path, constantly sinking himself into the group of sticky things.
His vision was filled with oppressive darkness. Although he could breathe normally, he always felt as if he would die in such darkness.
Suddenly, he felt his right hand that was stretched out to explore the path was grabbed by something. Then, a huge force came from the opposite side and pulled him over!
Pei Sheng immediately felt that he was a victim trapped in an asphalt pool, and the rescuer with no experience grabbed his hand and dragged him out without any precaution.
The thick asphalt locked his body tightly, so the force pulled his entire arm as if it was about to break.
"Fuck! Be gentle!"
"Be gentle! My hand!"
"My hands!"
Pei Sheng howled excitedly.
Just when he felt that his arm was about to break, the next moment, his whole body was pulled out.
My whole body suddenly becomes enlightened!
It was an openness of the whole body, whether it was a physical feeling or a mental feeling, it was like getting rid of the shackles, bringing a feeling of relaxation and joy.
Even breathing becomes much easier.
After reacting, Pei Sheng quickly looked up and saw the young man's calm and reassuring face as always.
"Uuuuuuuuah...Brother, you are my reborn parents! Save me quickly!"
Pei Sheng screamed and hugged him directly.
Xu Shuo stood still and looked down at him.
Then he suddenly said: "Do you know what is trapping you?"
Pei Sheng still hugged him and wouldn't let go. When he heard this, he just shook his head crazily without raising his head.
Xu Shuo said quietly: "That thing can make people insane, causing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. For example, when you are desperate, that thing will make you think that someone is saving you outside the door, but in fact it will lead you in." Another abyss. You think you have come out, but in fact you are just trapped in an illusion, because this illusion is derived from your brain's cognition, so it will be very real to you."
Pei Sheng: "..."
Pei Sheng: "......"
Pei Sheng suddenly moved away from him!
After thinking for two seconds, Pei Sheng remembered that he had indeed encountered such a situation - he thought he was at the door, but in fact he had already entered the venue.
So this kind of cognitive illusion really occurs!
Thinking of this, Pei Sheng nervously grabbed the jade pendant on his chest and looked nervously at the young man opposite.
"So...what are you?"
Xu Shuo, who let Pei Sheng quickly let go of him without any need for comfort, chuckled lightly.
"people."
…
Yesterday I was dragged by my colleagues to watch "Deep Sea" after get off work.
Originally I wasn't impressed by the animation.
I cried at the end.
