The father, who had just left the study, seemed to have heard some strange noises. He returned to the study and opened the door to see the terrifying scene in front of him. Countless green light spots slanted down from the ceiling and landed on his wife and children.
At this time, he didn't know what these light spots were, but he also felt the danger. He hurried forward, trying to wake up his wife and daughter who were surrounded by light spots. After taking a step, the man found that his body couldn't move, and it seemed that his body no longer belonged to him. The limbs gradually stiffened, like a worm caught in the resin, which could only gradually solidify, and finally turned into brilliant amber.
The green meteor shower lasted only about ten seconds. In the eyes of Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo, this short ten seconds became incomparably long, as if a century had passed, and everything was finally over. . The three people in the room, along with all the items in the study, were shrouded in green light.
Objects and people have changed.
The color of Song Qingluo's mother's body began to fade and gradually turned into nothingness. Her father watched this scene helplessly, but was powerless to stop it. The terrible thing is still to come, the figure in the painting hanging in the very center of the study, as if alive, began to squirm.
The snow-white skeleton pulled the silk thread in his hand, and the little skeleton danced a weird dance under its control. In the picture scroll, the children and women standing opposite the skeleton let out a sharp cry together. The eardrum of the man who cried loudly hurt. When he saw the skeleton's hand, he slowly stretched out from the picture scroll and slumped on the chair to the side. son went to...
No, it can't be like this, a strong fear swept the man's mind, he knew that he couldn't move, he still tried his best to move forward, trying to move his son away from there-he didn't know that after being touched by a skeleton, his son would How about, but the vanished wife is a bleak precedent.
No, don't, stop - stop - the man moved forward like crazy, he heard the sound of tearing flesh, but he didn't care, it seemed that a powerful idea had played a role, he actually felt that he took a step forward- Yes, his body can move again.
The man stepped forward in surprise, rushed in front of the child, quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed the child's body, and let him escape the attack of the skeleton in the picture. However, the joy of success had not remained on the man's face for a moment, but was replaced by endless panic.
The man lowered his head, didn't see his hands, only saw a pair of white bones, he looked blankly at the glass window next to him, and his appearance was printed on it.
It was no longer him, but a clean, bloodless white skeleton - exactly like the one in the painting.
The piercing cry was approaching again, and the man turned his head and saw a face close at hand. That face was exactly the same as his current face, with no facial features, only white bones, and dark eyes, like a bottomless black hole that even light couldn't penetrate.
With a subtle sound, the man was swallowed into the scroll together with the sleeping boy.
Then the whole room became restless, as if hot oil had been sprinkled with ice water, rolling and boiling, as if every item had its own life. Lin Banxia even saw the tiger-shaped paperweight placed on the table roaring like a tiger, and the light-colored wallpaper stretched out countless branches-like things, squirming crazily. The fans, wherever the green light reaches, are crazy. The ordinary study room has become a clay sculpture in the hands of a child at this moment. No one can imagine what kind of strange appearance the contents inside will change into the next moment.
Song Qingluo, who was standing beside Lin Banxia, suddenly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, unable to restrain her retching sound. He has been patient, patiently watching his mother disappear, watching his father become a skeleton, he thought he could endure until the end. However, when he saw those things in the study, he unexpectedly felt uncontrollable dizziness and a strong sense of nausea, which attacked his brain. The picture in front of him had no flesh and blood, but it was more uncomfortable than flesh.
Lin Banxia was very worried, and wanted to persuade a few words, but seeing Song Qingluo raising her hand with a pale face, her attitude was very firm - he wanted to continue watching.
Lin Banxia had no choice but to keep quiet, feeling more and more uncomfortable in her heart.
Fortunately, this weird change only lasted for a short period of time and gradually subsided. The picture scroll shook slightly, and the two people involved in it spit out again. The young Song Qingluo who was thrown to the ground showed a bit of confusion on his face, as if he didn't understand what was going on, and his father's skeleton was clearly standing beside him, but he didn't see it.
The disappearing mother also showed her figure and returned to the rocking chair. She also woke up from the dream and saw Song Qingluo on the ground, bent down and picked him up, comforting him carefully.
There are clearly visions all around, but the two seem to be completely invisible, hugging each other in the twisted study, completely unaware of what just happened.
The picture gradually dimmed, and Lin Banxia heard the crisp sound again. At first, he thought the sound was coming from the illusion in front of him, but the more he heard it, the more wrong it became. When he looked up, he saw that he was standing with Song Qingluo. The ceiling above also began to twist - the sound he heard came from inside.
"Qing Luo!!" Lin Banxia yelled when he saw that the situation was not good.
Song Qingluo didn't move, all his attention was on the picture in front of him, and he could no longer hear the sounds around him. Lin Banxia suddenly became nervous, grabbed Song Qingluo's hand and wanted to run outside, but found in despair that she couldn't pull Song Qingluo at all. Song Qingluo seemed to have turned into a frozen sculpture, standing still.
The darkness has slowly overflowed, and the next is the coming of the constellations. Lin Banxia suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked at the darkness. The dark green lines appeared in his pupils again—
Ding... It was as sweet as music, and a sound more dangerous than death came again. The stars in the darkness did not continue to fall. They stayed on top of Lin Banxia's head, jumping and spinning like elves. Lin Banxia raised his hand and stuck out his fingertips. The constellations screamed with joy, swooping towards Lin Banxia and landing on his fingertips.
It was a fiery burning sensation, Lin Banxia thought, as if he felt a burning flame, he flicked it lightly, and those things were thrown away, then quickly gathered up, and so on.
"Banxia." Someone suddenly called his name.
The sound is somewhat familiar.
"Lin Banxia." The man never got a response, so his voice became more anxious, "Lin Banxia—"
Lin Banxia finally regained her senses, and the stars on her fingertips also shattered into powder in the sound of the cry. He turned his head and saw Song Qingluo's anxious expression.
It happened almost in an instant, and Song Qingluo, who was still observing the illusion, suddenly felt an indescribably dangerous aura. This feeling is very mysterious, it seems to be just a sixth sense for no reason, he actually felt that Lin Banxia, who was standing beside him, was gradually fading. Mingming was standing by his side, but he actually felt that he would lose him in the next moment.
"Panxia." Holding Lin Banxia's hand, Song Qingluo called out his name, "Lin Banxia—"
Lin Banxia's expression was indifferent, and there was a green light in his eyes. He seemed to hear Song Qingluo's call, so he turned his head and looked to the side, but his eyes were not focused, so he passed through Song Qingluo's body and looked at him. the distant void. Song Qingluo didn't know what Lin Banxia saw, perhaps something deeper and more terrifying, but he understood that he had to let Lin Banxia see himself.
"Lin Banxia! Lin Banxia!!" There was another shout, almost like a soul-calling talisman, Song Qingluo was so hoarse that he almost crushed Lin Banxia into his arms.
Finally, his call worked.
A low-pitched response came from Lin Banxia's mouth. He raised his head blankly and saw Song Qingluo's anxious face. From those confused eyes, he obviously didn't know what was going on.
"Lin Banxia." Song Qingluo gritted her teeth, "What are you doing?" He couldn't help but lowered his head and bit Lin Banxia's lips fiercely.
The pain made Lin Banxia wake up instantly, he cried out in pain, completely returned to reality, and said vaguely, "What are you, what are you doing?" This was the first time Song Qingluo was so rude, it hurt him to bite.
"What did you see just now?" Song Qingluo asked.
"We have something on top of our heads." Lin Banxia felt a little aggrieved after being bitten like this. He licked the corner of his lips and tasted a little blood... but was bitten by Song Qingluo, "I want to run away with you, But you won't move."
Song Qingluo was silent: "..."
"Why do you look like that?" Lin Banxia was very strange.
"You didn't pull me to run." Song Qingluo said, "You stood by my side from the beginning to the end and didn't move."
Lin Banxia was stunned.
"I thought you would disappear like my mother." Song Qingluo looked in the direction of the bedroom.
At this time, all the illusions have disappeared, and the former study has turned back into an empty and rough room, without a mother, without a father, and without himself.
Lin Banxia shook her head to make herself more awake. He said, "What's wrong with me?"
"I don't know." Song Qingluo said, "Those green stars you saw seem to be related to heresy."
Lin Banxia said, "What?"
Song Qingluo said, "Did you see it just now?"
Lin Banxia nodded.
"When the green constellations came, everything in the study room turned into heretical things." Song Qingluo said, "And humans, unconsciously, became their companions." The things in the study room So many, he still can't even figure out what kind of heretical thing his mother has become before disappearing. The only thing he knew was that when he was swallowed into the painting, he was no longer a pure human being.
The infection changed his body, he became lighter, only as heavy as a skeleton, began to hate touching water, and even became weak after prolonged exposure to water - he became more and more like a painting . The only advantage is that he can use his body to temporarily seal the heresy like a picture scroll.
Song Qingluo didn't know where he was going. Most of his companions died miserably in the process of the mission. Some were lucky enough to save their lives, and they went completely crazy soon after.
Before meeting Lin Banxia, Song Qingluo never had the word "future" in his life.
But now, he really wanted to struggle hard, struggling, holding Lin Banxia's hand, and walking further afield.
It may be very difficult, but at least he is willing to try.
Lin Banxia looked at Song Qingluo's expression, and then realized that he seemed to frighten his lover. He said apologetically in a low voice, his head was rubbed, as if he was comforting a child. He heard Song Qingluo's expression. Qing Luo said, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
Lin Banxia pursed her lips slightly.
"There are more troublesome things to deal with now." Song Qingluo pinched the corner of her eyes to wake herself up a bit, he said, "Do you remember the meteor shower last night?"
Lin Banxia's face changed: "No way?"
Song Qingluo said, "I hope not, but it came by too much coincidence."
Meteor shower, a once-in-a-lifetime thing, came suddenly without any notice, and it was after they met Ji Feng. Song Qingluo wanted to lie to herself, saying that it was a coincidence, but years of experience in dealing with heretical things warned him that there was no such thing as coincidence in the world.
After every strangeness, there may be a terrifying answer.
Lin Banxia took a deep breath. He naturally saw the meteor shower last night. If Song Qingluo's guess is true, then the whole world will become like a study, he said: " But the color of the meteor was wrong last night, it looks quite normal."
Song Qingluo said, "I hope so." He walked slowly to the living room and picked up the porcelain plate with the image of his mother on it.
Next, the next thing to do is to smash it and recover the heretical thing. Lin Banxia felt that Song Qingluo's coming in person was a bit cruel, so he thought he would just do it himself. But before he could speak, he saw Song Qingluo decisively let go, letting the fragile porcelain plate fall to the ground and become shattered.
The fluffy little thing appeared in the shards of the porcelain plate, and before it could escape, Song Qingluo grabbed it into the palm of his hand and locked it in the box again.
"Let's go." Song Qingluo said.
Lin Banxia nodded, and the two left the room.
It felt like it had been so long just now, and it's only been an hour since I looked at the time. Li Su and Li Ye were a little surprised when they saw the two of them coming out so quickly, Li Su bit the popsicle and said vaguely, "You guys are quick. , Song Qingluo is not very good."
This guy really can't do anything, and Lin Banxia was a little helpless when he opened the first place in Huangqiang.
Song Qingluo said coldly, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. What's the situation on your side today, do you have any tasks?"
"Just kidding, I'm on vacation." Li Su said with a big smile, "I told them, don't contact me unless the world ends, Banxia, do you want to eat popsicles?"
Lin Banxia was also a little hot, so let's eat.
So it became Lin Banxia and Li Su squatting on the sofa and nibbling on popsicles. Song Qingluo and Li Ye started to contact the base to see if there was anything unusual.
Lin Banxia actually wanted to help, but Song Qingluo seemed to be reluctant to contact him from the beginning, probably because he was worried that he was also a companion to be discovered.
Li Su's popsicles are always delicious. Although Lin Pinxia thought it was delicious, she didn't even dare to ask what the brand was. When he mentioned money now, his whole person was blue and melancholy. After all, there were only three digits left in his bank card, and there were still thirteen days left before he could repay the mortgage.
Li Su was very strange. How could Lin Banxia eat a popsicle and her eyes would turn red. He didn't quite understand, so he cautiously said, "Banxia, what happened to you? Did Song Qingluo bully you?"
Lin Banxia said, "No, I just..." He choked, "I just had something that I cherished taken away from me."
Li Su: "..." He always felt as if he was in Japanese dramas and heard this line often, so of course, he made up a bloody social drama, such as someone deceived Lin Banxia and took away his treasures Things like trust.
"So... what is it?" Li Su couldn't help but ask.
Lin Banxia said, "Last night, I watched the meteor shower."
Li Su became nervous.
Lin Banxia said, "The millions in my bank card were stolen by a bastard."
Li Su: "..." This is different from what he imagined, how did the style of painting suddenly change from an inspirational Japanese drama to today's talk column.
"Have you called the police?" This is the first way of thinking for a normal person, Li Su asked.
Lin Banxia said gloomily, "The police don't care."
Li Su: "..." It seems that things are a little worse than he imagined.
The topic ended here, Li Su finally understood why Song Qingluo asked him not to ask Lin Banxia the word money this month. It was for his own good.
The communication between Li Ye and Song Qingluo also came to fruition. It was amazing that there was no out-of-control situation that Song Qingluo was worried about at the base. The values were still within the normal range, and there was no sudden outbreak of heresy.
Seeing this result, Lin Banxia murmured in her heart, was it really because she and Song Qingluo thought too much
"There are no special circumstances for now." Li Ye said, "Just wait and see."
Song Qingluo replied softly. They just told Li Su and Li Ye of the pictures they had seen and the results of their analysis, and they were also thinking about how to tell the base about the situation without exposing their own heretical possessions.
"Then let's go back first." Song Qingluo said, "Contact if you have anything."
Li Su waved at them and said no.
After coming out of the community, the two took a taxi outside and planned to go home.
After such a tossing, Lin Banxia was a little tired, leaned on Song Qingluo's shoulder and dozed off, and fell asleep after a while. If it wasn't for Song Qingluo's support, Lin Banxia would have fallen directly to the ground.
"Master, what's wrong?" Lin Banxia was startled.
The driver said in cold sweat: "I seem to have hit someone!"
Lin Banxia was startled when she heard the words, looked at Song Qingluo, saw that Song Qingluo was also frowning, and said in a low voice, "It did hit something."
This is strange, it is a thing, not a person. Before Lin Banxia said anything, she saw the driver get out of the car and circled around, trying to find the person she hit. But after searching for a long time, there was nothing. The driver scratched his head and returned to the car with a puzzled face. He muttered, "Am I wrong? But I really feel like I hit it."
Song Qingluo said, "Let's go if you don't."
It seemed that it could only be like this. The driver felt a little uncomfortable and said, "It's so hot on this hot day. As soon as I got in the car, I felt cold all over..."
Lin Banxia said, "If you turn on the air conditioner higher, it won't get cold."
Driver: "..." He silently turned off the air conditioner. After two minutes, it was not cold.
Lin Banxia's nerves were thick, and she didn't feel that there was any problem. She leaned on Song Qingluo and began to doze off again. She just fell asleep and suddenly had the illusion that she was being stared at, and opened her eyes reluctantly.
"Qing Luo." Lin Banxia called out.
Song Qingluo whispered, "You feel it too?"
Lin Banxia said, "Yes, in... where?"
Song Qingluo: "It should be in the car." He pondered for a moment, "Keep your voice down, don't let the master hear it, so as not to interfere with his driving." Pause, "It's too hot outside, it's not easy to take a taxi."
Lin Banxia nodded honestly.
Lin Banxia, a person whose nerves are thicker than a tree branch, felt it. As a normal driver, the driver naturally realized that something was wrong, but he didn't understand what was wrong. He just wondered if he was nervous. very irritable.
After finally reaching the destination, the driver's master wanted to leave immediately, Song Qingluo said, "Master, we don't have any money with us, please go back with him and get the money."
The master was stupid: "You don't take money with you when you take a taxi? Don't you have it in your mobile phone?"
Lin Banxia took out his mobile phone with a gloomy expression, and clicked on the balance of Alipay. The balance of two yuan inside stinged the driver's eyes and also stinged Lin Banxia's heart - Ji Feng, that bastard, does not have WeChat or Alipay. Let go.
"Okay." The driver was a little helpless when he met this kind of customer, but at least he was still there and willing to pay, but he had to go farther.
Lin Banxia led the driver away, leaving Song Qingluo behind. He looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he leaned down and looked under the car.
Sure enough, he saw a person on the chassis of the car.
No, that can no longer be called a person. Its limbs have become long and thin, covered with suckers, and stick to the bottom of the car like a gecko. A face has no facial features, and it is densely covered with eyes. Those eyes blinked and collided with Song Qingluo's sight—
It seemed to sense the danger of Song Qingluo, released the sucker and twisted to escape, but Song Qingluo grabbed the body and dragged it abruptly.
This thing began to twist like crazy, and its hands and feet began to fall off like a gecko's tail, but Song Qingluo was prepared, and held its torso mercilessly, grabbed it and quickly left the scene.
So Lin Banxia, who took the master and took the money back to the taxi, was faced with a situation like the scene of a murder. The ground was full of blood and some strange minced meat.
The driver's master cast a terrified look at Lin Banxia.
Before Lin Banxia had time to explain, he saw the driver's master running into the car like a rabbit, then kicked the accelerator and disappeared from his field of vision.
Leaving Lin Banxia standing on the spot and shouting weakly, "Master... Your money... I haven't taken it yet..."
If the master heard what he said, he would probably think that if his life was about to die, what would he do with the money—
