escape from the world

The night is still and silent.

Fang Chen opened the door, the corridor that should have been bright was pitch black, only a light at the end was flickering and flickering.

He shouldn't have gone out.

Fang Chen thought to himself, closed the door and walked forward.

Every room in the hotel looks the same, and only the room number starting with 6 allows Fang Chen to confirm where he is going. He goes all the way to 601, and stops under the light.

The light elongated his shadow, reflected on the opposite glass, and also illuminated the opposite figure.

"jingle".

There was a tiny bell.

He saw a person and an evil thought.

The thin monster struggled in vain under the boy's hands, and its claws hit the glass heavily. Fang Chen watched as Qiao Ran suppressed the thumping evil thoughts, and inserted his hand into its dark heart, poofing, piercing through.

Qiao Ran turned his head and saw the pale Fang Chen blinking twice, and soon he laughed, "Brother Fang Chen." The evil thoughts dissipated from his hands, and black sticky matter flowed from his fingertips , drop by drop fell on the floor.It was completely different from the cowering teenager before.

He walked towards Fang Chen step by step.

Fang Chen took a step back, his mind went blank.

Qiao Ran tilted his head, and then... a little bit of rot, Fang Chen watched him rot, first his face, then his neck, and then his whole body.

He is the same as Nie Shi.

Fang Chen was shocked, and found that he could not move, his legs could not move.

Qiao Ran saw the fear in his eyes, opened his mouth halfway, and finally bit his lower lip: "That's right, you don't remember me..." He walked forward again, and walked under the lamp. He casts a shadow.Qiao Ran straightened her back, which was indeed taller than Fang Shen, which brought a great sense of oppression.

"You should remember." Qiao Ran said, the corners of her mouth drooped, her expression was not as happy as before, and she said stubbornly, "We have met before."

Fang Chen's heart was beating like thunder, he leaned half against the wall, moved back and suddenly disappeared, and turned his head to see the house number - 601.

Fang Chen froze.

Qiao Ran's face darkened a little bit: "You don't think of me."

sixth floor.

When he was still in the community, Fang Chen once took the elevator with Qiao Ran, and the person dressed like a college student was Qiao Ran!Fang Chen also asked him which floor he lived on, and Qiao Ran's answer was - "sixth floor".

Fang Chen raised his head abruptly, and Qiao Ran happily said, "You remember?"

Fear twisted his heart together, and Fang Chen slid down the door.

Qiao Ran's smile disappeared again, the corners of his mouth pulled down, and his eyes sank. The flesh on his body was falling off bit by bit, and half of his face was already covered in bones, but his tone still had the innocence of a child. He shook his head and approached Fang Shen muttered, "You still don't remember."

"But it's okay." Qiao Ran opened his mouth and showed an exaggerated smile, "You will remember sooner or later."

There was something behind them, and another evil thought appeared in the stairs, with its back bent and half of its bald head quietly staring at them.

Qiao Ran made a "shh" gesture with Fang Chen, like a prankster, turned around and walked quickly to pinch Evil Nian's head, with such force that Evil Nian was forced to make a shrill cry, but he didn't seem to be able to hear it. With great interest, he stretched his hand into the black chest, repeated the previous action, and pierced it. His pale and slender fingers were clenched with black silk and then pulled out into fists.The evil thoughts disappeared, and black ashes surrounded Qiao Ran, as if falling into an abyss vortex.

They didn't notice a black and white cat standing on the steps of the corridor, its eyes were bright at night, watching everything.

"You guys...what the hell are you?" Everything was in chaos. Fang Chen originally thought that Nie Shi was the special one, and only Nie Shi was the only one.He had always classified Nie Shi as their side before, but is this really correct? !Nie Shi...why did he appear among them?

"What is it?" Qiao Ran repeated it, tilting his head, and the flesh on his face fell off, "Well - what are we? Let me think about it." He also used "we".

Qiao Ran walked over step by step, Fang Chen could hardly breathe.Even though Qiao Ran was as rotten as Nie Shi, Nie Shi wouldn't hurt him, but Qiao Ran wasn't sure.Fang Chen's trust in Nie Shi came out of nowhere, especially at this moment.

Qiao Ran smiled, "Brother Fang Chen has been trembling since the beginning, isn't it because he is afraid of me?"

The boy in front of him was not human like Nie Shi.

Just accept the fact that they will rot if you don't see them as human beings, and the more you fear them, the faster they will rot.

How did that happen?

"This is impossible." Qiao Ran got closer and closer, Fang Chen became more and more desperate, and touched the dagger at his waist.The young man seemed to be seeing a human being for the first time, looking at him curiously, his eyes showed interest, he didn't feel how scary he was, and he said, "What did you see? Is it the way I was when I died? ?”

He speaks of "when he died," which means...he was not alive.

Trembling, Fang Chen sent the knife into the boy's body. The sharp point of the knife pierced the flesh. The blood was warm. The boy didn't have any defenses. His expression twisted and he fell straight to the ground for a moment.

Fang Chen saw the dark red blood on his hand, his head was dazed, and he was thinking almost mechanically, why the dead bleed...why the dead hurt?

This dead man must have done too badly.

Qiao Ran lay on the ground in pain a few times, hugged her stomach and rolled, then stopped abruptly and murmured: "It hurts..."

what?

The young man raised his head, without any pain on his expression, staring at Fang Chen and said, "Brother Fang Chen, I'm in so much pain."

Fang Chen wished that he would die immediately.

Qiao Ran buried his head in his arms again. He often did this action. Before that, he often hid his head and hid in fear.What now?He is laughing.A faint, intermittent laugh came from his mouth, and when he had laughed enough, he showed his face to look at Fang Chen.

Ah, I buried my face in the crook of my arm before to prevent my secret from being revealed.

After all, the smile is so penetrating.

"What are you doing?" Fang Chen's head went numb, and he put down the knife in his hand. The bright red blood on it was nothing, because he found that the wound on Qiao Ran's stomach was slowly healing.

"What am I doing?" There was light in the boy's eyes, excited, and he just crawled over on all fours. He was very close to Fang Chen in an instant, almost face to face, with only a small gap at the tip of his nose. Fang Chen felt The rotten flesh on his face will be thrown on his own face.

Qiao Ran smiled happily and said, "I'm pushing you to die."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly backed away. In Fang Chen's field of vision, there was another person who grabbed Qiao Ran by his collar and threw him to the floor with a loud noise.

It was Nie Shi.

The person who fell on the ground wanted to get up, but when Nie Shi stepped on his head, Fang Chen heard a click in a daze.

Qiao Ran was laughing, Nie Shi stepped on it even more expressionlessly, Qiao Ran finally let out a cry of pain.

Nie Shi frowned, and said to Qiao Ran coldly, "Keep your mouth shut."

Qiao Ran giggled: "If you don't want him to hurt, he will never remember it. You can't protect him all the time!"

Blood exploded in front of Fang Chen's eyes, and Nie Shi pulled Qiao Ran's arm. Qiao Ran wailed, he always felt that arm... was torn off.The blood seeped out quickly, but Qiao Ran only suffered for a few seconds, and then started screaming again.

"What exactly is this place?" Fang Chen almost lost control, his eyes flickering and he asked without any hope.

Qiao Ran was spitting blood, and turned his head in an extremely distorted posture, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Fang Chen to ask this question.

"This is 'Human World'." He tilted his head, his voice was very soft, "Welcome."

The night is dark.

Fang Chen didn't remember how Nie Shi solved Qiao Ran, as if he opened the window and threw him down, and said "Get lost" while suppressing his anger.

Won't you fall to your death?

I won't fall to my death.

Nie Shi wanted to approach Fang Chen, but Fang Chen was afraid of him, and the fear made Nie Shi change in his eyes.

It seems that there is a lot to say, but I don't know what to say, and it seems impolite to say "you are dead".

Why are you dying?

Fang Chen's heart seemed to be split open, and it was still tearing, the blood on the dagger had disappeared, just like those evil thoughts, nothing remained.

Fang Chen held on to the doorknob and retched, his throat was sore and his joints were hurting, tears were hanging in his eyes from the pain.

Nie Shi took a small step back. It was rare that he didn't stay stubbornly. He stared at Fang Chen for a long time. He didn't turn around until the lights in the corridor came back on and the surrounding area became bright again.

Fang Chen sat there until dawn, during which not a single evil thought came out, but there were still slight noises upstairs and downstairs.The dawn is also very fast, as if someone is deliberately manipulating, and all disadvantages are inclined to their side.

The sky was blue again, with layers of clouds floating around.

Xie Ying appeared in the corridor and saw Fang Chen sitting outside, she didn't walk over immediately, stopped and took a deep breath, then ran to Fang Chen and squatted down, her fingers trembling and stuffed something into Fang Chen's hand inside.

"Fang Chen, listen to me."

Fang Chen's eyes flickered.

"Fan Yingying... gave her roommate an abortion pill!" Xie Ying's eyes were broken, "She did something wrong! She killed someone! That's why she died in that way..."

——"I'm pushing you to die."

Qiao Ran's words echoed in Fang Chen's ears.

Xie Ying said: "We are all guilty, and we are all going to die because of the mistakes we made..." She choked up, her bright red nails almost digging into Fang Chen's shoulders, "Run away, run away, if you can... How far can you escape!"

Just as Fang Chen was about to speak, the door at the other end suddenly opened, and Gao Cheng shouted from the other side: "Fucking brother! When I opened my eyes, there was no one in the room, but I was scared to death!"

Xie Ying looked at him with indescribably complicated eyes, then let go of Fang Chen before Gao Cheng came over, got up and ran downstairs.

"Xie Ying? Xie Ying!" Fang Chen wanted to stand up, but his feet went numb and he sat back down. He watched the car keys that Xie Ying stuffed into his hand, and his whole body trembled.

As Xie Ying said, everyone here is guilty, so what is his crime?

He doesn't remember.

The author has something to say: I have thought about how to write this scene many times in my mind, but the writing is different...

Fang Chen's memory has already been laid out enough, the plot should speed up here
