After sitting down, several people began to recall their high school lives. As an outsider, Cen Yu listened carefully.
Pei Hengyun doesn't talk much. He only replies politely when someone occasionally mentions topics such as "I remember you had a good relationship before" and "Why did Pei Hengyun become an art teacher now when he wasn't the representative of the physical education department before?"
As if he was worried that Cen Yu was bored, when Pei Hengyun was talking, he would occasionally look at Cen Yu and find that Cen Yu's bowl was empty, so he would pick up food for him.
Everyone present was a person with experience in society, and they immediately realized that the relationship between these two people was unusual.
He Yongning was sitting on the right side of Pei Hengyun. When Cen Yu was observing this group of people, he happened to look into his eyes for a moment.
He Yongning immediately looked away. Cen Yu felt bored and said to Pei Hengyun, "I'm going out to get some fresh air." He said hello to the others and left the farmhouse.
…
He stood outside the farmhouse and lit the cigarette in his pocket.
Perhaps it was after dinner and no longer busy at the moment. The owner of the farmhouse also happened to come outside to smoke. The two of them were not far away. The owner was looking at Cen Yu while smoking.
Cen Yu was stared at for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen enough?"
The boss didn't expect that Cen Yu would suddenly speak, and he immediately laughed, "...I just look familiar to you."
Cen Yu held a cigarette and said, "I have never been here."
The boss had a cigarette in his mouth and spoke vaguely. He looked puzzled, "...but I really feel that you look familiar."
When a passerby character in a horror novel says this keyword again and again, it can only mean one thing -
There is a plot point here.
Cen Yu looked at the boss, "Really? Have you seen someone who looks like me before?" He joked, "Or am I really that ordinary in appearance.
"No." The boss patted his forehead, "I just feel that you feel very familiar to me."
It seems like it won’t work here, boss.
Cen Yu thought, just like that kind of decryption game, when an NPC keeps prompting you with the same information but cannot give you more answers, it is telling you that you have to explore on your own.
The cigarette in his hand was half burned, "Where is Pei Hengyun's house? I mean the one that was destroyed by the mudslide before."
When the boss saw that there were questions that he could answer, his expression immediately became much more relaxed.
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he showed Cen Yu the way——
"Just walk along this road. You will see a canteen, then turn uphill and pass by a cornfield, which is Pei Hengyun's home."
…
Pei Hengyun's home really cannot be described as home.
The house in front of me was almost in ruins. Although there were people from behind who helped clean up part of it, because it had been uninhabited for a long time, gravel, soil and some weeds had taken over this place.
Cen Yu stood at the door of Pei Hengyun's house.
Perhaps it was because it was a mudslide caused by a landslide. Although gravel mixed with soil poured into Pei Hengyun's home, destroying half of the house, the remaining half was crumbling... Cen Yu watched for a while and was about to climb in.
He heard footsteps coming from behind him.
When he turned back, he saw Pei Hengyun, who was panting and seemed to be running all the way.
"Xiaoyu." Pei Hengyun came over immediately, with a very worried expression on his face, "Why did you come here alone?"
He seemed to feel that his tone was a little more intense again, and immediately slowed down——
"...If I hadn't asked the owner of the farmhouse, I wouldn't have known you were here."
He turned to look at the dilapidated building in front of him, and then looked at Cen Yu, "It's very dangerous here."
"What are you doing here?"
Cen Yu looked at Pei Hengyun in front of him and saw his concerned expression, as if he was really worried that something would happen to him here.
Of course, he would not say that he came here to investigate the truth and try his luck to find clues. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and said to Pei Hengyun, "Don't you think this is a good place for live broadcast?"
"When the time comes, I will broadcast live in the middle of the night, and the effect of the show will definitely be explosive."
Pei Hengyun looked at Cen Yu with a heavy gaze, and his expression relaxed a little until he heard Cen Yu say that he was doing it for the live broadcast.
"But this is too dangerous."
Pei Hengyun looked at Cen Yu worriedly, "It's better that we go back first."
"Didn't you come back later?"
Cen Yu heard He Yongning's familiar voice and saw him standing on the gravel road next to Pei Hengyun's house. It seemed that he came with Pei Hengyun... When facing Cen Yu's gaze, he nodded.
"Even if you are so dedicated, I will not arrange a better recommendation position for you."
"..." I hope you are still alive to speak after a week.
Cen Yu thought.
Realizing that his solo adventure was a failure, he almost suspected that this was an intervention by the plot to prevent him from knowing the truth earlier.
So he could only leave the old house under Pei Hengjun's dissuasion.
He looked at the destroyed windows of the old house again, and then found that the place he was standing seemed to be a bedroom.
Ignoring the dissuasion of Pei Hengjun beside him, he simply came to the destroyed window, lay there and took a closer look at the decoration inside.
The ground was covered with dirt and gravel, everything in the house was washed away, and there were cracks on the walls. Then Cen Yu saw some posters of basketball stars posted on them...
He turned to look at Pei Hengyun, who was looking at him with concern, "Did you like sports so much in high school?"
Why is there nothing related to sports in Pei Hengyun's home now?
"He used to be the representative of the physical education department." He Yongning walked over from the literacy road. He and the two of them looked at the posters of football stars inside, "I thought you would engage in sports later."
Pei Hengyun also followed them to see the bedroom.
He stood behind Cen Yu and did not answer He Yongning's question. He just whispered in Cen Yu's ear, "Xiao Yu... I'm a little scared."
"How about we go back first?"
He put his hand on Cen Yu's shoulder, which was more like controlling the other person than fearful and wanting to hide behind him.
He squinted at everything in the bedroom, as if he was really afraid that something scary would come out of it.
"No one has lived here for too long..."
"I'm worried about that thing."
"That thing?" Cen Yu immediately thought of Pei Hengyun's character, "Are you talking about ghosts?"
"Don't say this!" Pei Hengyun immediately covered Cen Yu's mouth, "Maybe it will really happen."
"Uh-huh!" Pei Hengyun suddenly covered half of Cen Yu's face. He almost couldn't breathe. He immediately slapped Pei Hengyun on the shoulder hard... Only after Pei Hengyun realized that he had made a mistake did he stop covering his mouth. hand.
"Sorry Xiaoyu." Pei Hengyun immediately began to apologize like a big dog that made a mistake.
"I was so scared just now... so excited."
Cen Yu gasped and frowned at Pei Hengyun, "I now believe that you were engaged in sports before."
"?" Pei Hengyun immediately put on a puzzled expression.
"You are as strong as an ox." Cen Yu pointed at himself, "You almost suffocated me to death just now."
