Dark Star Field [Interstellar]

Xue Yelai pressed his face against Bai Yang's shoulder and did not speak.

After a while, he asked, "Did you find anything when you went to the old town?"

"I turned around on the ground and didn't feel anything. But the terrain over there is very complicated, and there are many underground passages. I'm not familiar with the situation below, so I didn't go down rashly."

"That's hard to find." Xue Yelai was slightly disappointed.But that's to be expected.In such a large area, it is not easy to find a person.

"I'll touch the terrain and look for it below."

Xue Yelai hesitated for a moment. The area around the old city was too weird. The ground was already so eerie and eerie, and the underground was even more unknown.Xue Yelai felt that even if someone told him that there were terrifying non-human creatures infesting there, he would believe it.

"Forget it. I'm afraid you're in danger." Xue Yelai raised his head, "Besides, that mysterious man might just be a stalker. We wasted so much effort to find him, and it might be of no use."

"If he doesn't know anything about you, why is he following you?"

"I'm beautiful." Xue Yelai answered it as a matter of course.

"I don't think it makes sense." Bai Yang actually took this obviously nonsense answer very seriously, "If it's just because you are beautiful, there is no need for him to follow you. He is very familiar with the terrain there, which means that he has lived there for a long time. For a long time. It should be easy for him to see that you are not someone who lives there, and it is impossible for him to follow you home. And you have me by your side, and he is alone. What can he do with you?"

"..." It sounds like you have a good idea of ​​what a stalker usually wants to do.Xue Yelai swallowed this complaint with difficulty.Now that the topic has come to this point, he can only continue to think along this line of thought, "Then if it were you, why would you follow someone?"

Bai Yang thought for a moment, "Maybe...if I meet someone by chance, I feel that some characteristics of him match some very important people I knew before, but I am not sure whether it is. In this case, I may Follow the other person and want to confirm further. A person’s walking posture and habitual movements all have behavioral characteristics, just like fingerprints. If the other person is someone who used to be very familiar with you, he can do it by observing your behavior Judge whether it is you."

This seems to make sense.

Xue Yelai raised his hand to brush his hair, and suddenly saw the tattoo on the back of his hand.By the way, he wore a pair of fingerless gloves that day to cover up the tattoo.And because the clothes were different from what he usually wears, he didn't habitually put his hands in his pockets.

Could it be because of this that the mysterious person has been following from a distance, waiting for him to take off his gloves? At a distance of 50 meters, someone with good eyesight may see the bright red tattoo on the back of his hand clearly.

In other words, the "Xiaoxiang's Juliet" that inexplicably appeared in the alley in front of the bar was also put there by that person, wanting to test his reaction?

It also seems to be barely explainable.In the photo, his throat was cut. Seeing such a situation, the reaction of passers-by and himself should be different.

Xue Yelai thought back on what he did after seeing the photo that day, and it seemed quite normal.Because Bai Yang was by his side, he felt very safe.Even though he saw the scratch that declared malice, he felt more surprise than horror.

That person may have been hiding somewhere far away and watching him secretly.

Xue Yelai shook his head to get rid of this unpleasant imagination.

When he came back that day, he checked the poster.As long as fingerprints are left on the coated paper of that texture, it is not easy to be cleaned off.However, the result was that no stranger's fingerprints other than him and Bai Yang's were found on it.Whoever put it there was wearing gloves.

"But there is one thing that is very strange. We went to that place on my own initiative, and there was no plan in advance. Why—"

Before he finished speaking, Xue Yelai's head throbbed suddenly.It was very different from the dull pain like a small file before, as if a hand grabbed a certain nerve in his brain and pulled it hard.

"Ah!" Xue Yelai cried out in pain.

Bai Yang was startled, and hurriedly supported him, "What's wrong?"

Xue Yelai leaned on the other person's shoulder, unable to even speak, only hissing and gasping for air.If he did this again, he felt like he was going to go into shock.This level of pain is almost comparable to being attacked by mental power.

Fortunately, that feeling only hit him once, and the pain lasted for a while, then slowly receded like water on the beach.

"I had a headache just now, it's all right. - Don't move, let me lean on for a while."

Bai Yang was a little taller than him, and could lean on the other's shoulder with just one side of his head, feeling full of protection.

But this feeling of happiness didn't last long, and Xue Yelai began to feel sad.As if someone had pressed a switch, so many negative thoughts flooded into my mind, and I couldn't stop them.

It was, it was supposed to be good.

If, if not those things.

They are like traps all over the road, watching in the dark, not knowing whether they can get past one, or when they will step into the other.

What's even more frustrating is that maybe you have dodged all the traps, and finally found that the end of the road is a cliff.

Thinking of these, Xue Yelai's heart was filled with despair.For a moment, he even had a strange thought: If in the end, everyone cannot escape destruction, then why bother to work so hard.
