It all started with a phone call of unknown origin.

The caller who concealed the number and tone told him——"If you want to find your father, go to the island."

The mysterious man hung up the phone after saying this, and no matter how much he called back, it was of no avail.

The bottle of medicine that was mailed to Zhong's house half an hour ago had the same appearance as any bottle of cough medicine. It had a white cap, a brown-black bottle body, and a blue and white label paper on it, which was plain.

But Zhong Yun never thought that it was really just a bottle of cough medicine.

Want to drink?Is it poisonous?Most importantly, is it useful?

Zhong Yuncong stared at the slightly swaying liquid in the medicine bottle, his throat was a little tight. He was thinking about these questions very seriously, especially the last one. It is said that after drinking, you will be able to find your father.

It sounds very unreliable, and the phone call was more like a prank, but when his father disappeared for three months and the police were helpless, the bewildered Zhong Yuncong chose to believe it.

Go to the doctor in a hurry?Maybe, he didn't want to let go of any hope.

His fingers trembled when he unscrewed the bottle cap. Zhong Yuncong took a deep breath to keep the potion from spilling out. When the mouth of the bottle touched his lips, he suddenly remembered the place that the caller mentioned - "Island".

what is that placeIs it an island?Is the other party implying that I want to go to sea?

He chanted this overly general place name, his brain became a mess, thousands of thoughts turned around in an instant, and he suddenly put down the medicine bottle again.

"No, let's call the police!" His hot-blooded mind calmed down a little, the open medicine bottle rolled on the ground, and the medicine gurgled everywhere.

When he picked up the phone and was about to dial a number, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"Don't want to go?" Someone quietly appeared behind him, with a low and hoarse voice, "It's up to you."

Zhong Yun was terrified: "What the hell are you..."

Before he finished speaking, a slight tingling pain appeared on the side of his neck, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, and his consciousness was pouring out like quicksand.

When he gradually fell into a coma, his right eye started to heat up without warning, and Zhong Yuncong knew that the "daydream" was about to appear again.

He raised his head, and in the left field of vision were complicated and gorgeous lamps shining brightly, but in the right field of vision, it was a completely different scene.

It was a cloudy and heavy sky, with black clouds overlapping, and a blizzard was brewing.

Looking a little further down, what comes into view is a tall gray tower. The spire of the tower is like a sword, thin and straight, pointing directly at the sky, as if it wants to pierce the sky and disturb the vast constellation of stars.

He was familiar with the chandelier in the bedroom, but he was no stranger to this gray tower—because he had seen this tower more than once with his right eye.

This statement sounds a little strange, but the fact is that his left eye has always been normal, while his right eye had this kind of illusion when he was very young - Zhong Yuncong thought it was an illusion, because he tried to I searched the internet for the tower, but found nothing.Since there is no trace on the Internet with the richest and densest information, it must not exist.

When he was young, he only popped up occasionally, and as he got older, the frequency of hallucinations became higher and higher, especially in the past two years.Zhong Yuncong was very troubled for a while, and he also informed his parents, but he sought medical treatment in various ways to no avail. In addition, after a long time, he found that this strange disease was not serious except for the vision in his right eye, so he dismissed it.

He called this strange disease "daydream".

Until three months ago, his father disappeared mysteriously. While Zhong Yuncong was burning with anxiety, the number of seizures in his right eye also increased linearly. What often appeared in the hallucinations was the towering gray tower.

But at the moment before he fell into a coma, the spire of the tower was blurred into an afterimage of vision, like ghosts and ghosts, and his lips moved twice for the last time, uttering the word "isolated island" which was barely audible.

Open your eyes again, you can see the leaden gray sky covered with flocculent dark clouds, extending to the distant sky, feathery snowflakes are falling down, and a layer of white mist spreads between the sky and the earth.

His head seemed to be cut back and forth by a rusty knife, and the dull pain slowly invaded from the cerebral cortex. When he reacted, the whole head seemed to be split open.

Tormented by this chaotic pain, Zhong Yuncong lost his ability to think for a while, until the low temperature swept through his body, and his muddled consciousness finally gradually became clear.

Missing... Calling... Uninvited guest... The former situation was revived intermittently, and he stood up with difficulty on his hands, looking around, sorting out his memory, and looking at the environment at the same time.

He is in an open and flat place, which looks like a square or something. The building on the left is quite old, in the style that was popular 30 years ago.The terrain here is quite high, and when he stood up, he could see the buildings far and near at a glance.

But I don't know if it was his illusion, the city, like the building on the left, exudes a dilapidated and desolate atmosphere, as if a gust of wind blows, it will fall apart in a destructive manner.

This is where?Why am I here?Zhong Yuncong lightly beat the back of his head, not only to relieve his headache, but also to promote thinking.

By the way, before he fell into a coma, he was murdered, so... what about the grandson?Is he the one who got him here?Zhong Yun stood there helplessly, until he felt the biting cold from his ankles, and he realized that he was deep in the snow, and the clothes on his body were obviously not enough to cope with this icy and snowy place.

It was too late for him to fully understand the situation, his body was wrapped in a bitter cold, Zhong Yun had never experienced such extreme cold, his hometown is famous for its four seasons like spring.

Zhong Yuncong put his hands in his pockets and turned to look at the building on the left. There was no light there, which made him hesitate for a moment, but soon the cold forced him to make a decision. He trudged up and walked slowly towards the dark building.

With the reflection of the snow, he could clearly see the appearance of this building—it was about three stories high, and it might have been a serious office building, but it was obviously abandoned, otherwise the mottled outer wall I won't climb so many vines and leave them alone, although they are all withered.

No wonder there is not even a lamp.Zhong Yuncong muttered like this, the soles of his shoes rustling on the snow, the area was too quiet, he subconsciously tightened his coat, and stepped up to the short building.

When he stood on the steps and was under the eaves, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, the fine snow that fell on his hair and forehead began to melt, and the cool water droplets slid along the curve of his neck into the neckline , Zhong Yuncong's body trembled slightly.

His back was pressed against the wall, and he didn't bother to care whether his coat would be soiled. His empty eyes glanced at the vague outline of the city, and finally settled on a towering silhouette in the center of the area.

That's... His pupils shrank suddenly in astonishment, and the scene he thought didn't exist...appeared!

Here... what exactly is this place?Zhong Yun stared at the distant spire in a trance, and began to wonder if he had fallen into the illusion of his right eye.

Tick.

At first, Zhong Yuncong thought it was water dripping from the melting snow, but after the second drop landed on his leather shoes and the leather started to melt, he knew he was wrong.

He still didn't know the situation, but his sixth sense screamed for him to leave quickly, so he hurried down the stairs after quickly rubbing the upper of his shoes twice, but when he stepped down the first step, he met a The bloody face met each other.

Bloody and bloody is not an exaggerated description, on the contrary, it is quite realistic - there is no skin covering, dark red muscles and blood vessels are beating, there are no whites in the eye sockets, only dense red blood, even the iris is blood-colored; the nose looks like It melted away, leaving no bridge of the nose, only two holes; the lips also disappeared, and the two rows of white teeth closed together ferociously.The face seemed to be festering, with slime hanging from the vague outlines, crumbling.

He was so close to that terrifying face that he was almost touching, Zhong Yuncong took a big step back, trying to escape in another direction, but unfortunately found that the terrifying creatures came in groups, hanging upside down On the eaves, he didn't know how long he had been lurking. When he turned around, he almost bumped into a face with a similar level of disgust.

Zhong Yuncong panicked from the beginning, he squatted down, avoiding those disgusting faces, and landed on his knees and elbows together, he licked his dry lips, closed his eyes, protected his abdomen, and simply said "roll "Go down the dozen or so steps.

After he rolled into the snow with pain all over his body, he also heard a few dull sounds of falling heavy objects. He knew that those monsters hanging upside down had landed, and they were likely to catch up, and he had to hurry up escape!

Zhong Yun never dared to look back, and at the moment of fleeing for his life, he couldn't spare more time and energy to think about the species of those creatures that chased him and lost their skin, but judging by their size, they were very close to humans .

But how can humans have such venom and speed?

The two legs filled with stiffness gave Zhong Yun a premonition that he could not run fast or far, but in just a dozen seconds, his shoulders were caught by the monster at the head. than he expected.

He could even hear the wheezing and wheezing in their nostrils, just like the panting of a large beast, and the hand, or claw, on his shoulder tightened.

Zhong Yun closed his eyes instinctively.

In the next second, his body hit something heavily, and Zhong Yuncong was completely desperate. He thought of the dripping mucus on those festering monsters, and now that he was covered all over, he probably had to be dissolved.

Rather than becoming like them, it would be better to be eaten!At the moment of dying, Zhong Yuncong was suddenly so disgusted that he kicked hard: "Go away!"

"You..." Surprisingly, he heard the other party speak. Although there was only one word, Zhong Yuncong was still very pleasantly surprised. This at least proved that the guy he bumped into was not with the group of monsters behind. According to his brief observation, those unknown creatures should be unable to speak.

He opened his eyes happily, and he met a pale and handsome face like ice.

Finally a normal looking one!Zhong Yuncong was so excited that he almost forgot that there was a group of life-threatening people behind him.

Unexpectedly, this handsome guy actually started to sneeze wildly.

It was really crazy, without stopping, one after another.

Zhong Yun stared blindly at someone who hadn't been handsome for three seconds, completely at a loss.

Su Xian was extremely depressed.

Today is really unlucky, the patrol task is assigned to the most partial area, usually this area is quite barren, today for some reason, a few alien species appeared.Just take a risk, these stupid guys don't seem to be difficult to solve. I thought I could get it done in twos and twos, but I ran into this guy.

Inexplicably kicked, before he could even reply, his nasal cavity was itchy crazily, and a series of sneezes almost made him unable to straighten his waist.

In this cold weather, rhinitis happened again... and I forgot to get the medicine, it's really terrible.The tearful Su Xian covered his mouth and nose after being tortured, and finally realized what it meant to be self-inflicted.

Zhong Yuncong randomly took out a pack of crumpled tissues from his pocket, and handed it over: "Can you still do it?"

"Trouble you..." After receiving the tissue, Su Xian covered his nose and his voice was muffled. The big brother was still looking at him stupidly. He endured the discomfort in his nasal cavity, pointed to the side, and choked out a sentence, "Let me let you go." .”

"Ah?" That guy obviously didn't realize that he was a roadblock, and he looked at him innocently. Su Xian took a deep breath, forced the next sneeze back, and reminded him very kindly: "Turn back have a look."

The other party did so, but in the next second there was a burst of screaming, the revenge was successful, Su Xian smiled gloatingly, but he didn't expect that guy to scurry around like a headless chicken, and hooked the alien species over.

The palm full of rotten stubble and mucus was approaching his neck, but at this moment, his nostrils felt unbearably itchy again.
