black mist

What we generally think of as stillness is very different from absolute silence.For example, a quiet night often has such characteristics: no sound, emphasizing that people do not make sounds in an environment with people.

Absolute silence is often used to describe a situation where there are neither people nor sounds. Not only are there no human-made sounds, but even the original small sounds of nature have disappeared completely.

After midnight, what Jian Tong and Wen Yan felt was an absolute silence.

A silence that definitely shouldn't be found in a small town full of people.

Therefore, at the moment of absolute silence, Jian Tong and Wen Yan looked at each other in unison—they could feel the change, and naturally realized that something had caused this change, but it was not clear yet.

I have had such an experience once, although the experience is not rich, but after all, some Jian Tong's first reaction was to hold Wen Yan's hand tightly, for fear that his brother would die if he let go, leaving himself alone to face the current predicament.

Fortunately, this time, Wen Yan didn't show any signs of disappearing halfway, and was firmly dragged by Jian Tong.

Sensing Jian Tong's nervousness, Wen Yan held his younger brother's palm with his backhand and patted it lightly to calm him down.Afterwards, the two kept holding hands, stepped out of the room, and prepared to explore carefully at home.

For them, the easiest way to determine the current situation is to check the status of their parents to see if they are still at home.

On the way to confirm the status of his parents, Jian Tong actually had a little bit of luck in his heart. Last night, the premise for him to enter that no-man's land was to be chased by a black humanoid, but today, the black humanoid did not appear...so he also Wouldn't it be possible to enter that deserted "Chunxia Town" again?

However, the current environment was so quiet that it was almost eerie, which made him unable to completely settle down.

In this completely silent environment, all the sounds that can be heard are made by oneself, heartbeat, breathing, footsteps and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.These small sounds magnified Jian Tong's fear invisibly, he held Wen Yan's hand tightly, and a thin layer of sweat soon soaked from the place where his hands were held.

However, they soon got bad news-their parents had really disappeared.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the parents who were supposed to be sleeping soundly in the bedroom disappeared for some reason.Because of his previous experience, Wen Yan didn't look for his parents like he did for Jian Tong last night—he wasn't even sure whether it was his parents or him and his younger brother who disappeared.

Jian Tong looked nervously at his brother. To be honest, he was a little scared, afraid that his brother would feel that he had implicated him.After all, if he hadn't been clinging to his brother, his brother might not have entered this weird place with him.

Thinking of this, Jian Tong's whole face crumbled a little.But then he picked himself up again, feeling less nervous just because his brother had come in with him.

He took a deep breath, raised his head and asked Wen Yan: "Brother, what shall we do next?"

"Tongtong, tell me about yesterday's situation." Wen Yan was cautious by nature, and since he had the conditions, he naturally planned to learn more about the situation before making any plans.

Jian Tong recalled: "Yesterday, while I was waiting for you to take a shower, I saw that black figure beside the bed in the bedroom. It must have been around twelve o'clock. As soon as it appeared, I couldn't hear you in the bathroom. There was a movement, I planned to escape first and ask my parents for help, but like today, when I went to their room, they were not in the bedroom."

Wen Yan: "And then?"

Jian Tong said: "Then I just ran out. As I told you, there was no one outside. The black figure quickly found me, and I hid for a whole night..."

Wen Yan nodded, looked around, but didn't see the black figure that his brother mentioned.

Since this happened over and over again, it couldn't be a coincidence or an accident. If they don't want to stay stuck here, they have to take the initiative to find a way out. He doesn't think dragging them into this pile "That guy" in trouble would be kind enough to send them out.

But before that, they had to figure out what was going on in this place.

After all, the two brothers felt more at ease when they were together than Jian Tong was alone yesterday. After a preliminary search at home but no clues, Wen Yan suggested to go outside to have a look.Since this phenomenon happened in the whole town, they might not find any useful clues if they were confined to their homes.

Go out and explore, and you can also see if there are any "unlucky ones" who are in the same situation as them.

Jian Tong originally relied on Wen Yan, and now he feels a little guilty towards him that he dared not speak out. Naturally, it is impossible to have any objections, but he still fully absorbed yesterday's experience and took two pieces from home. Objects, the right to self-defense.

Carrying two baseball bats, Jian Tong followed her brother closely and went out together.

For Jian Tong, the outside environment has not changed much compared to yesterday - the street is empty, and the night market street in the distance is brightly lit, but there is no sound at all.

He glanced at his brother subconsciously, and found that his expression had become serious.He couldn't help but move closer to Wen Yan, so close that he could almost smell the clean breath on his brother's body, his heart that had been flustered for a long time suddenly calmed down, he collected his mind, and examined the smell more carefully than yesterday. Observe the surrounding environment.

Chunxia Town is shrouded in a thin layer of fog all year round. I am used to the noise of Chunxia Town on weekdays, and I don’t think the fog is so scary. But today, I don’t know if it’s because of the loss of the lively main body “people.” ", the misty town suddenly became gloomy and cold.

The brighter the light, the lonelier the empty space will be.The street trees on both sides of the road and the bright street lamps cover each other, and the lights fall on the ground through the gaps in the treetops. It is obviously a very beautiful scene, but because there are no people, the whole atmosphere becomes depressing.

Jian Tong took Wen Yan slowly approaching the night market street, the situation of the night market street was similar to last night, the whole street was open, the fire was burning brightly, food and some personal items were scattered on the spread out tables, chairs and benches, If it can be accompanied by the boss and diners, it will be a lively scene.But now, the spread out tables and chairs and scattered items made the whole night market street look a different kind of desolation.

The whole town looked lifeless.

In this dead atmosphere, Chunxia Town, which Jian Tong was familiar with, became a little strange.

"Did you find anything wrong?" Wen Yan asked him suddenly.

Jian Tong heard the words and took a closer look. There was something wrong with this place, and the whole town felt weird, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't tell what was wrong: "...Is it because there is no one?"

"No, didn't you notice?" Wen Yan looked at the night market street in front of him, "All the furnishings and layouts here are completely opposite to reality."

"..." Jian Tong was taken aback.

Wen Yan pointed at the two outermost shops on Yeshi Street intimately: "Look, Zhouji BBQ is on your left, and Spicy Roasted Chicken is on your right, but in reality, the directions of these two shops are reversed. of."

Jian Tong reacted abruptly, yes, in reality, Zhouji BBQ is on the right, and Spicy Roast Chicken is on the left. Everything here is completely opposite to reality.I just don't know why, Jian Tong didn't realize this before, and didn't react until he was called by his brother.

He looked at the upside-down night market street in front of him, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind—it was completely opposite to reality, as if it was an image in a mirror.

Jian Tong's heart that had finally settled down, because of this weird situation was suspended again, he couldn't help but clenched Wen Yan's hand, and his heart was at a loss - what should they do to get rid of this weird situation ?
