Chapter 1 Strange Mansion

On the first day Chacha and A Xue meet, a meteor falls.

To be precise, it was a huge burning fireball that landed in front of them without warning but deliberately.Within the arc-shaped barrier created by the fall, something shone like metal.

Chacha and Axue met on the Internet. They are thousands of miles apart, but unexpectedly share the same taste.

Chacha likes photography, and Axue loves ancient styles. When they met for the first time, they met at an abandoned Taoist temple in the mountains and planned to shoot a feature film.The mountain where the film was filmed was more than a thousand above sea level, remote and not very famous, standing alone on the flat ground.

You can't pass the car on the way up the mountain, you can only climb by yourself.Chacha leads the way with the camera on her back, and Axue follows behind with a big suitcase.The mountains and forests are very quiet, there are no other tourists, and even the chirping of insects and birds is rarely heard.The footsteps of the two being oppressed by luggage echoed in the mountains one after another.

"Axue, are you sure there is a Taoist temple? There is nothing on the navigation." Chacha asked while adjusting the focus of the camera.

"There must be." Axue was very convinced, "My aunt said that there is only one road to this mountain, and I can definitely get there. This Taoist temple is very spiritual. In the past, some family had a headache. If they went to the Taoist temple to worship, their bodies would recover. Hurry up. It was only after everyone moved to the city and the medical conditions improved that this place was gradually abandoned.”

"I'm afraid it will rain later." Chacha looked at the sky, and there was an unknowingly thick layer of dark clouds on the originally blue sky, pressing down on the top of the mountain in pitch black.

"Didn't we bring a tent? If the condition is not good today, we can shoot again tomorrow."

"Okay." It's not the first time that Chacha has spent the night in a deserted mountain, and she also specially brought an astronomical telescope to take pictures of the stars at night.It's a pity that the weather forecast is not good. If it rains, her plan will be ruined.

The two continued to move forward, Chacha frantically pressed the shutter all the way, and the sound of the camera clicking and clicking kept going.

Up and down the mountain road, I climbed to the evening and did not see the shadow of the Taoist temple.Instead, I found a suitable open space and prepared to pitch a tent for the night.In the afternoon, it began to rain lightly, and the weather was a bit cold. If you still can't see the Taoist temple tomorrow, you can only go back home along the way you came.

"Boom!" Accompanied by lightning and thunder, a huge fireball swept across obliquely, tearing the sky in half.

Then there was a violent vibration from the ground, and Chacha picked up the most precious camera reflexively, but her body was unstable and she staggered and fell out.

Ashe instinctively went to help, the mountain shook, and the two rolled down the mountain holding hands.When they stabilized, their heads were stuck upside down in the grass, their bodies were propped up awkwardly, and a strange triangle was erected firmly on the ground.Chacha's camera bag hangs from the top of the triangle.

The lagging suitcase followed her owner and flowed down from the height, hitting Chacha's painful back, the triangle lost its stability, and the two fell into a ball.

"Damn it?!" Chacha was lying on her back on the ground and fell to pieces.A few hairs were burnt, her face was covered with dust, and the dust choked her so much that she coughed.Struggling to get up to see the situation of A Xue.The firelight reflected the pale face of his companion.Eyes slightly closed, still breathing. "Hey, how are you doing?!"

"Just passed out." It took a long time for Ah Xue to have the strength to speak, only to feel her head was in a daze, and her consciousness became clearer after Chacha yelled at her.

Chacha helped A Xue up, grabbed a bottle of water with the other hand and handed it to her.

Chacha narrowed her eyes as a heat wave hit her face.There was a large cauldron not far from them, and the formerly lush woods were burned and steamed dry by the heat of the cauldron.The broken branches were sparsely burning, and the rain hitting them turned into thick smoke.The center of the pot shone with a metallic luster, and the surrounding area was bare, forming an arc-shaped boundary.

"How is it? Is there any injury?" Chacha asked with concern.

"Well, it's okay." Axue replied in a low voice.My head hurts, but my body seems to be able to move around, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Must. If you survive a catastrophe, there will be future blessings. I'm going to take pictures and post on Weibo today." Chacha fished out a bottle of Coke from the scattered luggage, gulped it down to calm himself down, and some long-term memories emerged from his mind She pressed her down again, "Hey, why is there no signal on the phone?"

The two checked their luggage. Except that they had no time to pack the tents that might have been burned, the equipment was fairly complete.

Chacha's camera is still working, and the binoculars are intact.Two bottles and cans of Ah Xue's cosmetics were cracked, and her chest, which hadn't hurt just now, started to hurt again.She bought these two bottles out of sheer determination. If they are usable, they are usable, but it's a pity that more than half of them are missing.

Chacha pulled the suitcase and carried the bag, and handed the tripod to Ashe as a walking stick.Both of them were afraid of other accidents, so they took all the remaining luggage and limped towards the cauldron.

The heat has not yet dissipated, and sweat seeps from the forehead, hanging crystal clear on the eyelashes.

The mountain was surprisingly quiet in the middle of the night, and the thick darkness engulfed the two of them. The darkness under their feet was like walking in an abyss.There are many shadows in the mountains and forests, and there seems to be a huge shadow on the opposite side of the originally empty mountain, moving slowly as the two of them move forward, which is indescribably mysterious.

"There should be a group of continuous mountains here. When I got off the car, the view was too narrow and the angles were different, so it looked like one." Chacha explained to her frightened companion on her own, her tone seemed to be convincing herself.

After walking for about half an hour, the two arrived at their destination.

What came into view was a small western-style building.Three storeys high.The surface is smooth and abnormal, and under the light of the flashlight, it reflects a seductive fluorescence.After the baptism just now, this western-style building was miraculously intact.

Chacha boldly stepped forward to touch it, it didn't have the rough touch of masonry, and it didn't look like cold aluminum alloy steel.is the temperature of human skin.Her heart was beating, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but Chacha felt that this western-style building seemed to be alive.

The heat from the soil receded, and the rain was bitingly cold.Two people stood by the door, as if telepathically, with their hands on the door, one on each side, 1, 2, 3, and exert force at the same time.

The door opened.Just as they hoped.

The lights inside the door flickered on.The warm light shone on the faces of the two, reflecting joyful expressions.Chacha threw her luggage in and felt relaxed. "I just said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune. Living in a house that is airtight is much better than a tent."

"Hmm." Ashe responded, with an inexplicable sense of awe, like facing a god when entering a Taoist temple.Putting down the tripod, he tapped lightly on the door frame three times, "Excuse me." Then he carefully closed the door.The moment the door closed, I couldn't help but make a wish in my heart.

"Come on, go in and have a look..." Before Chacha finished speaking, she stepped on the ground and her head was spinning.

There was a roar in the ear, the earth began to tremble again, and the light in the house became colorful, spinning around the void like a kaleidoscope.

A terrified expression appeared on Chacha's face, and she hurriedly grabbed Axue's hand, both of them were wet and slippery.Pulled by gravity, Chacha fell on something soft and passed out.A Xue bumped her head into Chacha's waist and also passed out.
