Chapter 47
The entire corridor fell into silence, except for the slow, dragging sound of sharp hooks and hammers.
After a while, Wen Shi suddenly spoke, his voice low and light in the night.
He said: "Did I know you before?"
Xie Wen paused and raised his half-downed eyes very slightly.
"Why do you say that?" He turned around.
"Nothing." Wenshi replied, "I just thought of it and asked."
Xie Wen nodded.
His eyes fell on a certain void point in the distance. After a moment, he smiled and said to Wen Shi, "I don't know you, otherwise it will leave some impression, right?"
This actually makes sense. Except for some of the earliest things and some things that people can't remember when they hear them, he knows everything else.
And those people he forgot... were long gone.
Suddenly there was a heavy dragging sound nearby, and when I heard it, I turned my head and looked over.
The old lady came to the door of her store and pulled out a heavy leather chair from the store.
The leather chair looks strange. It looks like an office chair at first glance, but the base is a thick lump. It doesn't even have rollers, so it can't be pulled.
It left rusty drag marks on the ground, brown and red, and slowly exuded an unpleasant smell.
The smell is not strong, if there is any, it is very uncomfortable, and even the face tightens when smelling it.
"Miss Zhou" who followed behind made a sound of "vomit" and stepped back several steps, stepping on Xia Qiao's feet every step of the way. Xia Qiao's face turned green after being stepped on, and she pushed him away.
"What the hell is this?" Zhou Xu cursed.
He didn't look back when he heard it, and whispered: "Blood."
Blood that has been soaked and soaked for a long time.
Zhou Xu: "Ugh——"
Looking at the weakest and most dignified Xie Wen, he turned out to be the most adaptable one. His expression didn't change at all, and he didn't hold his breath, as if he was used to this kind of scene.
The old lady pushed the seat outside the store, pressed it against the dark corner, and then staggered back. He muttered a few words repeatedly.
When she passed by, I lowered my head and heard her say: "I'm almost there, I'm almost there, I'm almost here..."
What's the meaning?
What called her?
Does it mean... closing the shop and disappearing like the fat shopkeeper before?
When Wenshi walked to the corner, the discarded seat was quietly leaning there.
He sniffed the smell of blood and closed his eyes in concentration.
At that moment, a pale woman suddenly appeared on the empty seat. Her hair was disheveled, and her whole body suddenly leaned towards Wen Shi.
The moment her hair was lifted open by inertia, Wen Shi saw her pale and twisted face - her dark eyes were wide open, and her mouth was open, like a sudden cave.
Her arms were straight forward, her fingers stretched out, as if she wanted to scratch him.
But there was something black tied diagonally around her body, which seemed to restrict her movements. The next second, she slammed back into the chair and let out a scream.
…
Suddenly, Wen Shi was tapped on the shoulder by something.
He opened his eyes suddenly, turned around and saw that it was Zhang Biling.
"Didn't I tell you not to run around?" Zhang Biling said a little helplessly, "This cage is a bit strange. You may not be able to tell it. It seems to be quite peaceful, but many things are a bit abnormal. Just like the old lady who opened the shop just now . I just saw that you seemed to be talking to her. How can a normal cage be like this? The cage owner has already pointed his finger at you. "
What she said was actually correct. When she walked around, the strange feeling became more and more obvious.
Generally speaking, most of the dead people who become cage owners are unwilling to accept the fact that they are dead. Therefore, things related to death, such as photos of deceased persons, often do not appear in the cage.
But the store that had just been closed was full of photos of deceased people, and it was shut down by force because it "sold bad things."
Moreover, most of the people in the cage are extensions of the cage owner's consciousness. To put it bluntly, they all follow the cage owner's ideas.
But the fat shopkeeper, the man who said "he hasn't eaten yet", including the old lady... all the shopkeepers seemed to be avoiding the woman and not letting her find her.
This is very strange.
All the signs are very contradictory, as if...the cage owner has this idea for a while, and then stands on the opposite side of himself, competing with himself.
"Are you listening to me?" Zhang Biling raised her voice.
When he came back to his senses after hearing this, he heard her earnestly advising: "The more this happens, the less rash you can be."
When I heard it: "Oh."
Zhang Biling: "..."
She rubbed her forehead, sighed, and asked, "Forget it, what are you doing standing here alone?"
Wen Shi: "Look at this chair."
Zhang Biling didn't ask him again, walked to the chair, took out a piece of talisman paper and wiped it on it.
Each family has its own way of entering the cage, but I didn't get involved when I heard about it. I'm just afraid that the woman will hurt her.
But when he closed his eyes again, the ferocious woman did not appear.
Instead, his stomach growled...
Not long after entering the cage, he was hungry again.
Zhang Biling collected the talisman and came over, frowning and said: "This looks like the driver's seat of a car. It should be the seat that the woman sat in during her lifetime. But no matter how much, I can't tell."
I was stunned when I heard it
For a moment, I finally understood what the scene I just saw was.
