Before I could come up with a reason, the one-legged cart was already coming towards me, and I hurriedly dodged to avoid it.
Next, a scene that surprised me even more happened.
All kinds of things in the alley moved, a paper umbrella floated in the air, the hoe stood up, and the broom began to sweep the floor by itself.
There seemed to be many people in the alley that I couldn't see, doing their own things.
I didn't understand what was going on, but it didn't delay me wanting to leave.
I speeded up and walked quickly towards the place where the crowd was buzzing at first, avoiding objects suspended in the air from time to time.
The alley is not long, and I soon came to the end. When I turned the corner of the alley, I was suddenly stunned.
I actually returned to the place where I just entered the alley.
There are closed doors on both sides of the narrow alley, and the paper umbrella is still floating in the air.
A faint panic surged in my heart, but there was a "squeak, squeak" sound behind me.
Turning his head, he saw that it was the one-legged cart.
How is this going.
I dodged the monopod again, but this time I didn't move, but stood still and began to observe.
Slowly, I discovered the rules of the alley.
Everything in the alley is constantly repeating. When the single-legged car reaches the end of the alley, it will return to the starting point again just like me.
I don’t know how long I stood there, the single-legged cart returned to its original position, and fell on the side of the alley. The surrounding wooden doors began to open and close, and the sound of locking came from the door, as if people who had a hard day returned own warm home.
When everything in the alley returned to calm, I let out a long breath. Fortunately, it was just a repetition, and nothing else happened.
However, my rejoicing didn't last long, and a bitter smile appeared on my face.
I can only stay in the Lost City for 12 hours. Now, I don't know how long I have been in this alley.
Could it be that the weird things in this alley are just to consume my time.
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran directly towards the exit of the alley.
Whether it is forward or backward, when I ran out a few times, the panic in my heart became heavier and heavier.
I found that I couldn't leave this alley, as if this alley was a circle, no matter which side I ran from, I would end up inside this circle.
Slowly, I turned my attention to the surrounding houses. I couldn't get out of the normal road, so what about the abnormal road.
After thinking about it, I put my hand on the wooden door on the side.
With a slight push, the wooden door was pushed open a gap, and the lock inside the door could be clearly seen.
I frowned, could I just climb over the wall. I turned my gaze to the fence.
The wall is not high, and it is covered with unknown plants, and the spikes on the plants make me feel a little chilly. Anyone who sees the spikes on their thumbs will probably not have the idea of climbing over the wall.
I plan to study the possibility of unlocking again.
When I looked back at the wooden door, I almost jumped up.
Just in the gap in the wooden door, an eye is watching me through the gap.
His eyes were dull, and the entire white of his eyes was a sickly yellow color, which was also covered with bloodshot eyes.
Before I could react, there was a sound of unlocking the wooden door.
"Squeak." The wooden door opened slowly, and a decadent-looking middle-aged man appeared in the door.
Seeing the eyes of the middle-aged man, I was sure that he was the owner of the eye just now.
The middle-aged man is very thin and sick, but when he saw me, the middle-aged man showed a smiling face, very enthusiastic.
"You're here, come in, come in."
I didn't move, the behavior of the middle-aged man made me think of a poisonous snake that chooses to eat people, and is deceiving its prey to its own territory.
"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Mommy, hurry up and cook, there are guests."
The last sentence of the middle-aged man was directed at the room, and soon there was a reply from the room.
Afterwards, the tempting aroma of food came out.
I sneered in my heart, this cooking is really fast, probably not even 5 seconds before and after.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the middle-aged man, I hesitated and walked in.
I don't want to practice running in the alley anymore, this family may be my breakthrough.
Of course, the most important thing is that I have confidence in my own strength.
I touched the ghost cone on the back of my hand, it was specially used to fight ghosts.
After I entered the door, I don't know if it was to reduce my vigilance, but the middle-aged man didn't lock the door, but closed the door casually and it was over.
Then, the middle-aged man led me to the small courtyard. I looked back suspiciously, and I always felt that there were many people looking at me outside the door. But when he looked back, he found nothing.
The middle-aged man did not take me into the house, but walked to the stone bench in the corner of the small courtyard and beckoned me to sit down.
After the middle-aged man poured me a cup of tea, he sighed and said, "You are finally here. We have been waiting for a long time."
I frowned, and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Oh, wait for me, do you know who I am?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know, but everyone in Yongsheng Alley is waiting for you, it should be you."
I didn't speak, but looked at the middle-aged man. What the middle-aged man said was different from what I thought when I entered the door.
I thought he would treat me very warmly, and then make up a series of lies in an attempt to harm me. But that doesn't seem to be the case now.
The middle-aged man smiled: "My name is Qiao Mu, a former poor man."
"oh."
I let out a soft oh, pretending to be listening attentively, my eyes still full of vigilance.
Qiao Mu saw it, but continued without paying attention.
"You know that Lost City can only stay for 12 hours, right, but it's not right either."
I looked at Qiao Mu with surprised eyes, Qiao Mu continued: "For those who don't have a house, they can only stay in the Lost City for 12 hours, but once they have a house, they can stay in the Lost City forever."
Qiao Mu looked at me and said without stopping.
"We don't know the reason, but this is indeed the case. At the beginning, we hoped that we could find a way to leave the endless hell, but we couldn't find it.
Later we discovered that the way to leave is to live in the Lost City. As long as you stay in the lost city for a while, you can leave the endless hell.
This may be the glimmer of life God gave us.
However, this is not without its disadvantages. The disadvantage is that if we want to leave, we must give up the house to someone who will come later. You also know that our place is just an alley, not many people come here. I have been waiting for more than 20 years.
But no matter how long it takes, as long as you can leave the endless hell, it is worth it. "
Qiao Mu looked at me eagerly, but I was a little dazed because of his words. Could it be that the way to leave the Infernal Hell is so simple.
