Chosen Son

Gu Fan touched the thing in front of him that looked like glass but looked like mist. After confirming that it was indeed a substance, he gently reached out and knocked, and heard a slight sound, that is to say, he did not have an illusion. There is a barrier here, which isolates this place from the world on the other side of the bridge, and it should be accurately described as a barrier that only targets him.

Otherwise, it is obviously a fool's behavior for these passing vehicles to hit them head-on.

In order to prove this conjecture, he brazenly grabbed a passing old man. The old man was wearing thick clothes and a slightly funny hat. He was obviously rushing home. Confused, he adjusted his reading glasses, looked at him with some vigilance, and said:

"Young man, what are you doing? Let me tell you first, I don't buy things that are on sale."

"No no no, I don't do sales, you misunderstood Grandpa, I just want to ask, are you a resident who lives on the other side of the bridge? I just came to this place and wanted to find our relatives, but I don't know the way , I’m not familiar with the place, could you please show me the way, or take me there?” Gu Fan accompanied him with a smile, carefully observing his expression.

"Oh, that's it, I do live in this area." When he heard that it was not a sales promotion, the old man was obviously relieved, and his attitude became a lot gentler. He pointed to one side of the fog, "I live there, Qiming Community , young man, where do your relatives live?"

Gu Fan can't tell where he is referring to, he seems to be blind now, he can only pretend to be surprised and look along his line of sight, then pat his thigh vaguely: "Yes, yes Yes, that's the name, are you going home, I'll go with you."

"Okay." The old man smiled heartily, patted his chest, and said confidently, "Young man, then follow me. When you get to the community, you can find it by yourself. There are not many buildings in our community, so it's easy to find." very."

Gu Fan was overjoyed, and followed him straight away, walking behind him.

Then, he watched the old man pass through the fog, and he hit the glass in the void in front of him, making him shudder with pain.Regardless of the pain, he yelled at the old man a few times, and saw that he seemed to have completely forgotten what happened just now, and without turning his head, he went straight in and quickly disappeared in front of him.

Gu Fan stood there stunned: "..."

This is too real, this is still an intelligent face recognition system.Also, sir, the speed with which you turn your face and deny people is too fast. Does this also have the function of erasing memories through the door?

He rubbed his temples with some headaches, feeling a dull pain in his forehead and brain.Now it is basically certain that this barrier is aimed at him alone, and basically has no effect on other people in this world.

Wait a minute... No, there is another possibility.

He tapped his fingertips on the railing for a moment, and suddenly remembered what he had experienced before, Srno Island in the Greedy World. On that island, surrounded by the sea, everyone on the island thought that the other end of the sea was another. The world, except that no one ever goes out.But in fact, the end of the sea is still a long sea, even if they go out, they will never reach the end.If this world is the same, it means that this bridge is the end of this world, and behind this fog, it is actually empty and there is nothing.

Although this idea sounds absurd, it is not completely impossible.

But... If this is really the case, how should the girl in the flower shop, the man in black, and the old man who just passed by in front of him now be explained?

Or, are they... people or ghosts?

Gu Fan couldn't judge which of these two guesses was correct for a while, so he simply put them aside for the time being, and just concentrated on studying the so-called boundary.He followed the smooth and delicate touch all the way, spent about a whole day, walked around the entire range, and found that it was an extremely regular circle, the area was not too large, and it covered A few streets in all directions, even if it takes a few hours to walk along the border, if there is aerial photography, it should be a thing similar to a glass cover.

It's as if someone dunked a cauldron out of thin air and circled this place.

Gu Fan was entertained by his ghostly thoughts, and suddenly felt that his mentality was quite good, at least he didn't knock on the glass cover in a dramatic way, crying and yelling to let me out.

When he got home, he glanced at his watch, and sadly remembered the fact that he forgot the house key at home, but fortunately, Hu Jing should be off work by now, so he knocked on the door, and after a while, Hu Jing Wearing an apron, she came over with a bowl still containing egg liquid and opened the door for him.

"Are you hanging out all day?" She glanced at the plastic bag in Gu Fan's hand, a little curious, "What did you buy, show mom."

Gu Fan sneaked in obediently and changed his shoes, put the plastic bag in his hand on the table, took out the pot of small coconuts that had been running with him in the cold wind for a day, and successfully got a pleasant surprise from Ms. Hu Jing "Ouch".While she was going to the kitchen to get water in a plastic cup, Gu Fan turned to say hello to his father who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

His father was an unsmiling person in the original world, and he was not very lively in this abnormal world. He just let out a "huh" and cared about his study and life by the way.

"How are you studying recently? Are there any difficulties? You can't relax even though you are in college, you know?"

Gu Fan slandered that he was busy fighting wits with the foolish king a while ago, and his only brain was spent on saving his life. It has been a long time since he had the opportunity to touch the simple university education, and he answered honestly :"knew."

The middle-aged man pushed his eyes and gave a faint "hmm".

This was a sign that he could kneel down, and Gu Fan slipped back to the room very sensiblely, there was still a while before dinner, and he still had time to think about what to do next.With the lessons learned in the morning, the first thing he did when he entered the door was to walk to the French windows and draw the curtains.However, just as his hand touched Unexpectedly, it froze there.

During the day, he looked at the still empty blank room, but at this moment the lights were on.

At that moment, he could almost feel the peeping eyes of the day poking out from the warm yellow window, watching him unscrupulously from head to toe.

He slammed the curtains shut, and at the same time, he heard a sneer ringing in his ears.It was a very soft, cold smile that almost sounded behind him, and goose bumps appeared on the back of his neck almost immediately.It is said that people will panic to some extent when they are extremely frightened. He squeezed his sweat-drenched palms, calmed himself down a little, and then turned his head little by little.

Nothing at all.

Everything was laid out nicely, as if the sneer had been nothing more than a dream he had.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed fiercely in his heart about the perversion of this world setting.

He was startled just now, and now his hands and feet are a little weak. He supported the pillar at the head of the bed, and just about to sit down in front of the desk, he accidentally kicked a piece of paper by his feet.

Gu Fan's desk is rather messy, it belongs to the type that he either can't think of tidying it up, and it takes two months to tidy it up. It is usually as messy as a pig's nest, and he just waits for the day when the obsessive-compulsive disorder attacks and it will be cleaned up.Therefore, when books are piled higher than the head, a piece or two of draft paper will float on the ground from time to time.He knelt down to pick it up, and didn't pay much attention to it at first, but just glanced at it, but stopped.

It was a thin piece of drawing paper, like a random page torn from a comic book that was sold when I was a child. He recognized the image drawn on it as a hero in ancient Greek mythology called Achilles. Shield and sword in hand, and most notably, an arrow stuck in his heel.

He can be sure that he has never bought such a picture book.So, where did this piece of paper come from?

At this moment, the door of the room clicked. It is said that when people are extremely frightened, the perception of all senses will be amplified. This sound can be called a loud noise in the originally quiet room. At first, I saw Hu Jing walking in with a basin of peeled apples.

"Eat some fruit before the meal, and the meal will be ready in half an hour." Hu Jing walked to him, put the fruit bowl on the table, and said while putting it on, "Let you tidy up the table at ordinary times. No, there is no place to put the basin right now."

Gu Fan was a little nervous, and then he relaxed a little, and put the book aside in embarrassment: "I'll take care of it in a while."

"You say that every time." Hu Jing glanced at him sullenly, accidentally caught a glimpse of the drawing paper in his hand that hadn't been put away yet, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Gu Fan followed her gaze, and put away the drawing paper in embarrassment, "I just picked it up on the ground, and it probably fell off when I dug out the drawing book I bought when I was a child."

Hu Jing said "Mm", and inserted the toothpicks prepared in her hand one by one into the sliced ​​apples, Gu Fan forked a piece casually, and accidentally touched her hand, a little surprised.

"Mom, why are your hands so cold?"

As soon as he exited, he belatedly raised his head and looked at Hu Jing.

Hu Jing paused for a moment, then glanced at him, and suddenly smiled.

Gu Fan felt a chill rushing up his back, he swallowed, feeling his throat dry.

The author has something to say: Sitting in a dark dormitory in the middle of the night and writing an update is really a very sour thing... I was almost scared to die by my roommate who spoke suddenly
