Aoba Office

My question made Chen Zian think deeply.

I haven't been in contact with him for long since I saw him yesterday, but this is the first time I've seen him put on a serious expression, without the exaggeration when telling ghost stories.

He thought for a long time, and just when I was about to press him, he answered.

"To be honest, I don't know either. But I remember something like this happened." There was a blank expression on his face, "It seems that someone told me that this rule..."

"Isn't this rule a recent one?" I asked tentatively.

Chen Zian scratched his head, "It must have been there when I was a child. I don't know, I can't remember it."

He was like the kind of amnesiac person played in TV series. He clearly had some memories, but he vaguely remembered something, and it was very painful when he had to recall it. Or, it is quite appropriate to describe it as a student who cannot answer the questions in the exam.

The taxi had already driven back to the hotel and went all the way to the hospital.

Chen Zian wants to follow us to watch the fun, but we can't stop him.

When we entered the hospital, the nurse at the front desk changed people, but as soon as I said it, her expression showed that she knew about me. Maybe someone said it or even publicized it in the hospital yesterday, but the nurse's attitude towards me was obviously a bit fearful and curious.

She pointed the way directly and pretended to send the evil star away.

I didn't care about this and followed her instructions and walked around the hospital.

There are many people in the hospital, but most of them are crowded in the elevator. There are only more people on the first and second floors in the stairwell. Of course, the further you go up, the fewer people there are.

Chen Zian complained endlessly and complained about why he didn't take the elevator.

I thought about the crowd of people in front of the elevator on the first floor, and of course I rejected this method.

Lu Qiaolan and I also struggled.

People who don't usually exercise are certainly not used to such strenuous exercise like going up to the seventh floor in one breath.

Walking all the way up, I discovered that this hospital is decorated with large mirrors. There are signatures of different departments on the lower right corner of the mirror, and something similar to a motto in the upper left corner.

Chen Zian looked at these mirrors, felt a little embarrassed, and walked close to the other side of the stairs.

Lu Qiaolan also always looked at those mirrors.

I'm at peace.

There is no yin energy on these mirrors, and I didn't feel any yin energy here in the hospital.

On the seventh floor, standing where the nurse said, I looked at the large mirror embedded in the platform between the two floors.

The inscription under the mirror is Internal Medicine, the most common department, and the words in the upper left corner are "Quietness Zhiyuan". I don't know if there is any correspondence between the two.

I examined the mirror carefully, tested it with the amulet, and looked around again.

There is no yin energy, no ghosts, and none of the strangeness of the Meng family mirror.

I became impatient.

The Meng family mirror gave me a feeling. The darkness was just like the atmosphere I felt at the last flight of stairs in Building 6 of Gongnong Village. At that moment, I remembered that dangerous dream and how I felt before Ye Qing saved me.

That feeling of despair and fear of being completely swallowed up...

The darkness deep in the mirror is probably a different space!

I have experienced different dimensions three times. Excluding the time when Ye Qing pushed me away, and the two experiences of rescuing Nangong Yao and Gu Mo, I have also experienced the breath of different dimensions.

In fact, the three times felt completely different.

That time in Gumo, I was not caught by Christina and listened to the song loop. According to Gumo's description, the place was not scary, but it was so boring that it made people want to go crazy, and it had no sense of being down to earth.

In Nangong Yao's time, the alien space constructed by the "game" was so rich that it made people either think of reality or a revolutionary VR game. certainly. The experience of this kind of VR game is not pleasant.

The strange space in Building 6 is like the door at the end of Qingye Supernatural Office. It is a pure atmosphere of terror and pure malice.

That space seems to have no will and just wants to swallow everything.

Is this also the case in the different space here?

I'm worried about Chen Xiaoqiu.

If there are corpses or ghosts, I can find ways to bring people back to life. If it doesn't work now, you can keep trying and succeed in the future. But if nothing is left...

I shuddered.

If nothing is left, I need to use dreams to change the past. Where can I find the ghost that happened just before Chen Xiaoqiu disappeared...

As soon as I thought of this, a stick figure drawn by a teddy bear popped into my mind.

At that time, there was a ghost beside Chen Xiaoqiu.

only……

The ghost disappeared first.

I started to get irritable again.

Neither Lu Qiaolan nor Chen Zian said a word.

Chen Zian glanced at the teddy bear held by Lu Qiaolan, hesitant to speak, but also very curious.

Lu Qiaolan didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't seem to notice this.

It was the teddy bear, with his head tilted slightly and his eyes facing the direction of Chen Zian.

This scene was reflected in the mirror.

However, there is a staircase behind the two of them, which is completely normal.

I also saw people coming up from the bottom of the stairs.

The two people who came up were both wearing security uniforms, and their movements and expressions were hesitant.

That Xiangzi looked sad, saw me, and was reluctantly pushed up by the middle-aged security guard whom I had seen yesterday.

"What's that, big brother and big sister?" Xiangzi shouted awkwardly. After shouting, he was even more embarrassed. Seeing us all looking at him, he quickly said, "I really don't know where my uncle has gone! I won't do anything if he doesn't come back." Have no idea!"

Only then did I remember the plan I was thinking about yesterday.

Xiangzi's uncle has not come back. If he wants to find someone, he may have to go to the Crooked Neck Village.

"Do you know the origin of the rules in your place? When did they first start?" I asked suddenly.

These Huixiang people behave in a polite manner and regard hauntings and dead people as a common occurrence.

I originally thought that the beginning of this rule might be similar to the origin of folk custom. There were too many criminals who escaped here, leaving the people here with no choice but to vent their anger through ghost stories. There is a bit of a tradition of ghost stories here, the place names are of that type, and there may be some old stories passed down. I took it for granted and didn't ask carefully. From the moment I met the guide, I realized that there might be something fishy going on. Chen Zian's reaction seemed to be a clue.

The two security guards, an old man and a young man, were all confused when they heard my question.

Chen Zian, a Huixiang native, understands Huixiang people very well. He also guessed a little bit of my thoughts and helped me explain.

What he thought was really what I thought from the bottom of my heart, but when it came out of his mouth, it didn't sit well with me. It could also be said that it didn't suit the people of Huixiang.

"...Maybe we have a thousand-year-old ghost king here! Just like those stories made up, about a thousand-year-old ancient battlefield, where a general who died after killing ten thousand enemies became a ghost king." Chen Zian added the plot himself.

I don’t know what story he read that made him think so richly.

The old security guard was obviously not interested in this kind of story.

Xiangzi is much younger than Chen Zian, but he is somewhat interested.

Both have serious memories.

The old security guard said again: "The earliest one is probably in Waineck Village, the Taoist priest I told you yesterday."

Good night everyone~
