Luo Jian decided to help his uncle find the real culprit who was spying secretly, and he took action the next day. He began to follow his uncle 24 hours a day, eating and sleeping with him from morning to night. The behavior was quite crazy, but Luo Jian's parents hadn't seen their son for a long time, and they thought too much, so they spoiled him too much and let Luo Jian go.
And although Luo Jian's uncle didn't like the 24-hour waiting, he didn't explicitly refuse, so after this follow-up, Luo Jian really found something wrong.
Luo Jian's uncle usually looks at his store at work. He is a little old and his movements are not flexible, so he recruited a student who worked part-time during the holidays to help look after the store. Reading books, raising flowers and grass and canaries, life is quite leisurely.
Luo Jian followed for a day, most of the time in the shop opened by his uncle, and walked around specially, but did not find any particularly strange people or things. Luo Jian still believes in his intuition. Although he has not experienced many battles in total, people who have experienced life and death always have such an incredible temperament, and can see through some amazing essence of things. They themselves couldn't tell what it was like.
Nothing happened in the morning, but in the afternoon, Luo Jian noticed some unknown abnormalities. He found that someone was indeed spying on his uncle, or to be precise, watching his uncle's store, and that person The hiding method is very good. Although Luo Jian can feel the sight from the dark, the feeling of being watched, Luo Jian can't find the specific location of the other party.
It's just that Luo Jian wasn't particularly worried, because Luo Jian couldn't feel any malice from the sight quietly passed from the dark.
However, it doesn't feel good to be followed like this all the time. After thinking about it, Luo Jian decided to find a way to find out this lurking watcher. He greeted his uncle, and left his uncle's shop alone, and then walked along Walking along the pedestrian street, at first he still had the feeling of being watched, but after walking a distance from the store, that feeling disappeared.
Luo Jian then jumped on a bus, walked around the small town, went around and went back to the door of the uncle's shop. I found a public seat on the side of the road and sat down, holding a novel I bought from an unknown bookstore in my hand, pretending to be reading a book but looking around secretly.
Sitting on the chair for about half an hour, Luo Jian counted silently, and found four suspicious targets in total. Opposite the door of the uncle's shop was a restaurant, and there was a man sitting near the door, and he would look at the door from time to time, but Luo Jian observed him for a while, and found that this man might just be thinking about whether to join the uncle's shop or not. Buy a pack of cigarettes in the store.
Of course, this is just speculation.
The second suspect was a young woman who had been walking up and down the street. Luo Jian saw that she had been walking back and forth on this street several times. Of course, it was also possible that she just strolled back and forth while waiting for someone.
The third one is a little boy with an umbrella, about eleven or twelve years old, standing under the red streetlight at the intersection, staring at Luo Jian's uncle's shop door, generally speaking, children give The vigilance is the lowest, but the child's eyes look a little strange, and the strangest thing is that he actually took an umbrella on this sunny day, which made Luo Jian pay more attention to him.
The fourth is also the most suspicious, because Luo Jian seems to have seen this person before, and his back is very familiar. He is a tall man in black clothes, who seems to be about the same age as Luo Jian, with his head bowed and a hood on his back. Wearing a big guitar bag, he sat on a public seat on the side of the road like Luo Jian. Although he didn't look at the door of his uncle's shop from time to time, he sat there without moving.
Luo Jian thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not an option to drag things down like this, so she stood up and walked towards the man with the guitar bag.
The man seemed to have noticed Luo Jian's approach, but he didn't respond. He still lowered his head. The hood of his clothes was very wide, and the brim of the hat covered half of his face, and he looked very calm. It wasn't until Luo Jian walked in front of him that the man reacted - he raised his face a little bit.
But it was only a little bit, Luo Jian still couldn't see his face clearly, all he could see was the other's thin lips and chin, and the contour lines were as sharp as a knife.
"Is there something wrong?" The man spoke first, and to Luo Jian's surprise, his voice sounded familiar.
"I want to ask you something."
"Okay, let's ask."
Luo Jian pondered for a while, and said bluntly: "Are you monitoring the store at the street corner?"
The man seemed to be smiling, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Why should I monitor a store?"
Luo Jian unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
After Luo Jian finished speaking, she turned around to leave, but just as she took a step, the man behind her spoke up, just as Luo Jian expected: "Do you believe what I say so easily?"
Luo Jian paused, took a deep breath, and looked back at him: "So, tell me, who are you?"
"Who am I?" The man shook his head: "I don't know either."
"What do you mean? I don't understand." Luo Jian frowned.
"Looking at your appearance, I guess you are also one of the players in the secret room." The man suddenly burst into shocking words.
Luo Jian was immediately taken aback by him, and hesitated for a while: "How did you see that?"
"Because you can see me."
"Oh?" Luo Jian was even more surprised, and asked, "Can't other people see you?"
"Of course I can't see it, because I'm the ghost in the secret room." The man said something that Luo Jian couldn't understand, which made Luo Jian very puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "The ghost in the secret room, what is that?"
"A player who signed a lifetime contract with the Chamber of Secrets." The man replied to Luo Jian: "A player who wanders in the Chamber of Secrets forever and is deprived of the right to 'return to reality' is called a 'ghost of the Chamber of Secrets'."
"Ghosts can't 'return to reality'... Ah, they can go back, but they will be deprived of existence and become like real ghosts. No one can see or hear you, even if you intervene No one will notice the abnormality in other people's actions."
It was the first time that Luo Jian felt that the secret room was full of many things he didn't understand. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing as the "ghost in the secret room". Uncle Boss hadn't explained it to him before. So much, so he simply sat beside the man and asked him, "Can you tell me more?"
"Of course, it's not valuable information."
"Signing a lifetime contract with the Chamber of Secrets, what's the matter?"
"Lifetime contract, the chamber of secrets will grant one of your wishes, any wish, but the price is losing the opportunity to 'escape'."
"A chance to escape?"
"Yes, escape, escape from the space of the secret room forever, no longer need to experience those suffocating small spaces, and truly return to reality."
Luo Jian was surprised, and looked at the man in disbelief: "What is the wish? Make you rather pay such a high price?"
The man seemed to laugh again, and shook his head: "I don't remember."
"Don't remember?" Luo Jian didn't quite understand, and asked doubtfully, "Do you not remember such an important wish?"
"The lifetime contract will deprive the players of their 'reality'. The things I experienced in the real world will be gradually forgotten by me, and that happened when I was relatively young. I was still very young." The man said: " The wish or something... probably came true a long time ago, but I stayed in the secret room for too long, and gradually forgot many things. I have no chance to escape forever, and the only thing I want is to survive."
"How long have you been reincarnated in the secret room?"
"It's been nearly twenty years. I first came into contact with the secret room space when I was about ten years old, and this year... I'm in my thirties." A young guy in his twenties at most.
However, after staying in the secret room for twenty years, what kind of concept is that? Luo Jian has to experience two or three secret rooms in a month, and if it takes a full twenty years... This makes Luo Jian can't help but exclaim in shock: "Oh my god, how many secret rooms have you experienced?!"
"That's why I said, I can't remember."
"Then why are you spying on my uncle's shop?"
The man paused, turned his head slightly to look at Luo Jian, the wide brim of his hat was slightly pulled down, this time Luo Jian was finally able to see the man's face clearly, his appearance was upright, his appearance was extraordinary, but this face looked Getting more familiar, Luo Jian stared at the other party in astonishment for a long time, as if guessing something in her heart, she couldn't help feeling emotional.
The man just turned his head and glanced at Luo Jian's uncle's shop door, and said, "So that's your uncle's shop door?... It's nothing, it's just your uncle... I seem to know him before? I can't remember Yes, I thought that if I look at familiar people more, I will recall some of the past, but it seems to be useless."
The amazing imagination in Luo Jian's mind gradually took shape. He suddenly grabbed the man's wrist and asked forcefully, "Then do you remember your previous name? The name you used in the real world!"
The man was dazed for a while, then glanced at Luo Jian: "Forgot."
Can't be confirmed? Luo Jian gritted her teeth, unwilling to continue asking: "Do you still remember your home address in the real world?"
"forget."
"What about relatives and friends?"
"forget."
"What about the things you have done? What about important people? People you admire?"
"It's useless... I forgot all about it."
Luo Jian suddenly pointed at the door of his uncle's shop, pointing at the uncle sitting inside: "Then why do you think my uncle is very familiar?"
The man was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "It feels familiar, but it doesn't mean I remember it."
The man looked back at Luo Jian again, and said, "Forget about me, too. If that's your uncle, then you probably have something to do with me, but I won't think of you. I'm the ghost in the secret room, the ghost I am a dead person, in this world, I am already a dead person."
