black mist

Wen Yan didn't answer immediately, he looked straight at the road in front of him, the car was driving on the empty road, the street scenes on both sides of the road receded rapidly in the corner of the eye, the setting sun set, all the scenery in his vision was warmed by the setting sun Under the orange soft light, he was silent for a long time, just when Jiantong thought he would not talk anymore and wanted to change the topic to ease the embarrassment at the moment, he slowly said: "Don't think so much, in this world , is there still something we can't understand?"

"Yes." Jian Tong nodded, but the anxiety in her heart did not disappear.

Wen Yan talked less.

This is Jian Tong's most direct feeling. Wen Yan is not a chatterbox, but he never hesitates to respond to topics about clues and the world of Jinghu. He will never perfunctory any of Jian Tong's weird thoughts.

So now such silence and ambiguity made Jiantong especially disturbed.

A large part of this anxiety even comes from his lost memory. Many things can happen for several hours, but he can't remember anything.

Did he do something that made Wen Yan unhappy?

Jian Tong pursed his lips, because of the unspeakable feelings in his heart, he didn't have a clear conscience for Wen Yan.

He was afraid, for fear that this relationship would destroy the balance he and Wen Yan had finally built.

A way of getting along that made both him and Wen Yan feel comfortable - Wen Yan didn't feel offended, and he was able to get close to his sweetheart.

After hesitating again and again, Jian Tong turned to look at Wen Yan, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother, are you unhappy?"

"Why do you say that?" Wen Yan glanced sideways at Jian Tong and asked.

"Feeling." Jian Tong stared at Wen Yan's side face for a moment, for fear of missing any subtle changes in his expression.

"I'm not unhappy." Wen Yan paused, "Maybe I'm a little tired."

"Then let me drive!" Jian Tong suggested immediately.

"You don't have a driver's license yet." Wen Yan sighed imperceptibly.

"But I can drive." Jian Tong patted her chest, "There is no traffic police here to check the driver's license."

"Let's forget it," Wen Yan said, "Take a novice driver's car, and you won't feel tired physically or mentally."

"The technology isn't that bad..." Jian Tong shyly withdrew the proposal.

Wen Yan smiled lightly and said, "Tongtong, the most important thing now is to get out of here, nothing else is important, don't think about what you have or what you don't have."

"……it is good."

…………

Not long after, the two came downstairs to Zhang Hezhong's house again.This time, without Bai Yifeng's tailing, Jiantong naturally did not feel the discomfort of being followed and peeped before.

But Bai Yifeng is not the only obstacle for Jian Tong to reach the top floor.

Thinking of the man who appeared in front of him out of thin air and separated him from Wen Yan, Jian Tong's scalp tingled a little.Strange to say, he encountered so many ghosts in this mirror lake world, but this one alone made him shiver with fear.

He couldn't help leaning towards Wen Yan, stretched out his hand and grabbed Wen Yan's cuff, Wen Yan paused, and held his hand behind his back: "Are you all right?"

Jian Tong took a deep breath and nodded, "Yeah!"

"Let's go."

I don't know if it's because good ghosts don't turn their backs, or because of Wen Yan's blessing and tightly clasped hands, this time, Jian Tong successfully arrived at the destination - Zhang Hezhong's home.

Having rich experience in prying open the door of an entire building, Wen Yan skillfully and quickly used a bank card to pry open the door and entered Zhang Hezhong's home.

Before that, Wen Yan visited this room once in order to find Jian Tong, but at that time he only took a cursory glance, and hurried to the next place to find Jian Tong.

This time is different, with the expectation of finding clues, they will search the room carefully.

Judging from the condition of the house, no one has lived in Zhang Hezhong's house for a long time. All the furniture is carefully wrapped with cotton cloth and plastic cloth, and there is even a thick layer of dust.

The police buddy who provided Wen Yan with information about Zhang Hezhong once mentioned that shortly after Zhang Hezhong came back, he became supernatural, and finally became completely insane.Chunxia Town is so big, if anyone has a parent who is short-tempered, it can become a topic of entertainment for others, let alone Zhang Hezhong who disappeared and reappeared, which is very topical.

After he went crazy, the family couldn't bear the neighbors' pointing and pointing, so they simply moved out of Chunxia Town, and the family went to settle in other places, and Zhang Hezhong was naturally taken away together.

I don't know if he is living with his family now or has been sent to a nursing home. In short, it is very difficult to contact him for a while.

Besides, I don't know if his mental state has improved a little bit, and if he can give some valuable clues.

According to his friend's grandmother, Zhang Hezhong was still conscious when he first came back, and the process of going completely insane lasted for a while, that is to say, during this process, he once had a period of sobriety.

Perhaps it is because of the experience of being trapped in the world of Jinghu, Wen Yan can more or less understand Zhang Hezhong's feelings, Zhang Hezhong is different from Wen Yan, he entered the world of Jinghu alone, and it took two years before he escaped. , After returning to reality, no one believed his experience. No one could share the grotesque experiences he experienced in the mirror lake.

Once the mind is weaker, madness is only a matter of time.

If a person's words are not believed, then he is very likely to change the narrative method and record his experience in words, combined with Zhang Hezhong's age, such records may be far more paper than electronic.

Wen Yan was betting, betting on his record, not being taken away by his family.

Once they find this record, they may get some information from it, which will help them escape this mirror lake world.

Based on this idea, Wen Yan and Jian Tong focused their search on the bedroom and study.

Relying on the automatic reset of items in Mirror Lake World, their rummaging was very noisy, and it was not at all cautious, but it had to be said that it was very efficient.

Not long after, Jian Tong found a box from the bedroom, which was full of Zhang Hezhong's diary.

"Brother, I found Zhang Hezhong's diary!"

Wen Yan stopped what she was doing, and came over to take over the box from Jian Tong.According to the deduced time, Wen Yan found the latest one from a pile of diaries, turned to the corresponding time, and saw the words Jinghu as expected.

Wen Yan found a seat nearby, sat down and carefully read this diary that contained all the experiences of Zhang Hezhong that he could not tell...

[Recently, my condition has been deteriorating, and I have become more and more confused. It is ridiculous to say that I have stayed in that place for two years, but because of this, I have become unsuitable for the place where I have lived all my life... This is really ridiculous.

These days, I hear a lot of people talking about me in cryptic terms, saying I'm crazy.I'm not angry because that's what I'm worried about - I'm scared, scared that one day I won't be able to control myself anymore and I'll really be what they call a lunatic...

No one believed me, they thought my experience was just hysteria, not even my family believed me.

So, I decided to write down the two years that changed my life while I was still awake.

I don't know if there will be someone destined to read this text after a hundred years...

Looking back now, I entered Mirror Lake one evening.I still remember that day, when Huoshaoyun was burning red for half of the sky, but my mood was not as beautiful as the sky. I played mahjong with a few colleagues and lost a lot of money.I can't remember the exact amount now, but I vaguely remember that it was the private money I had saved for more than half a year.

I originally planned to buy something for myself, but now a mahjong game has completely failed, which makes me very angry.What's more, I didn't want to play mahjong that day, but the three of them kept encouraging me, saying that I lacked one of the three.

I'm also to blame, I didn't resist the temptation, once I sat down, half a year's private money was gone.

At that time, I was so regretful that I beat my chest and feet, and wished I could go back to a few hours ago and hold on to the conscious self.My wife doesn't know about my hiding money, so no matter how remorseful I am, I can't show half of it in front of her, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.

My wife saw that I was not in a good mood, so she gave me a little pocket money, asked me to go out and relax, and buy a bottle of soy sauce to go home.

I didn't realize when I entered the mirror lake world at all. I realized something was wrong because I found that there was no one in the supermarket.In a place full of people on weekdays, suddenly there is no one in sight, isn't it weird?

I immediately turned around and came out, only to realize that not only the supermarket, but the whole town was empty...

After searching for a long time, I found another person in the small town. I knew him. His name was Feng Xingxue, and he had been missing for several years.My heart sank immediately. At that time, I had a faint feeling in my heart that I should not be able to go back.

I will also become a missing person like Feng Xingxue.

I have lived in Jinghu for nearly two years, and besides Feng Xingxue, I have also met other people, but the chances are very small.The whole town is empty, and most of the time, even communicating is considered a luxury.

I still live in my own home, the time in Mirror Lake World is not stagnant, everything is updated with reality.

Sometimes when I turn around and see an extra bouquet of flowers on the table, I know it was added by my wife.In the past two years, there have been a lot of small objects in the house. I may not notice them on weekdays, but there, I am so bored that I know everything very well, and all the changes cannot escape my eyes.

A year later, there were even more photos of me at home, and they were enshrined like a portrait. My family even offered me a stick of incense every day.

Makes it a little ridiculous.

Later, I discovered that there are two kinds of people who appear in Jinghu Lake, one is living people like me and Feng Xingxue, who enter Jinghu Lake as alive, we can even continue to live in Jinghu Lake, There will never be a shortage of living supplies there.

There is another kind, which enters the mirror lake at the moment of death.The latter kind of people will appear in Jinghu from time to time, and talk to people in a very embarrassed and flustered posture.At this time, you must not talk to them, even if you see them, you have to treat them as if you didn't see them. Feng Xingxue said that they are in the process of continuing to die, and once they have an intersection with them, they will be dragged into this process. Lose my life.

Feng Xingxue met someone before, and because he accidentally responded to them, he was involved and died together.

After that, we also discussed why we were dragged in, and after analyzing the state of everyone entering, we came to a conclusion that we don't know whether it is right or wrong - when the mood swings are very violent, there is a chance Being dragged into the mirror lake world.Just like me who lost money, beating my chest with remorse, or like Feng Xingxue, who was extremely sad and angry because of his mother's death...

A sufficiently extreme emotion, extreme anger, remorse, pain... will become an opportunity to enter the world of Jinghu.

After me, some people came in one after another, but some chose to commit suicide because they couldn't bear the loneliness here, and some were dragged into the death process of others because they were not careful enough...

In short, Jinghu Lake seems to be continuously getting people, but the people in the town seem to be getting fewer and fewer.

Feng Xingxue and I tried many ways but failed to get out of there.

I even resigned to my fate at one point and accepted the result that I might never get out of that lake in my whole life.

until i met him...
