I don’t know if it’s because of the ten-year gap, but Gu Mo now looks like a forty-year-old man instead of over fifty. His legs and feet are quite strong, but looking at the way he runs, you can tell that this person doesn't exercise often. After running for a while, Gu Mo started breathing heavily and slowed down. However, he didn't give up and kept running.
I can only run with him.
The two of us looked a little funny, one behind the other.
Early in the morning, there were people coming in and out of this old community, and they all looked at us strangely.
Aunt Xu, who was next door to Tao Hai, happened to be going out carrying a basket. She knew me, and she shouted in surprise when she saw me, "Young man, what are you doing?" She looked at Gu Mo running ahead, doubts and memories flashed across her face, "Are you arresting someone? This Are you someone who doesn’t want to be demolished?”
I didn't chase Gu Mo very closely. I had time to answer Aunt Xu's question: "No, a friend. He is in a hurry for something."
"Oh..." Aunt Xu was about to nod and continue walking out of the community. Suddenly she turned her head and looked at the direction Gu Mo was running, and her eyes gradually widened.
Snap!
Aunt Xu's vegetable basket fell to the ground. She pointed at Gu Mo's back tremblingly and stammered: "This is not that, that..."
I was surprised, "Aunt Xu, do you know him?"
"Oh, that's right! That one on the sixth floor of Building 6! Haven't they all moved away?" Aunt Xu picked up the basket, and her surprise subsided.
It seemed that she was only surprised because she hadn't seen anyone in ten years.
"I haven't seen him for many years. He doesn't seem to have changed at all. It's rare for a man to take good care of himself." Aunt Xu muttered.
Well, there is probably another reason for this.
I saw Gu Mo was about to enter the building, so I greeted Aunt Xu and hurried after him.
Running in Gumo is hard, and climbing stairs is even more tiring. The whole building was filled with the sound of his heavy breathing. After I entered the building, I saw him holding the handrail and struggling to move up.
I hurriedly went over to help Gu Mo, half dragging and half holding him up, and brought him up.
When I reached the stairs to the sixth floor from the fifth floor, I paused for a moment.
"Is there any sound here?" I asked Gu Mo.
Gu Mo was panting and had no energy to answer.
I also realized that my question was inappropriate and quickly continued climbing the stairs.
Gu Mo squinted his eyes and looked at the note from the police station posted on Qingye's door with a complicated expression.
I took out the key and handed it to Gu Mo.
Gu Mo's hand when receiving the key was trembling a little, and he didn't open the door for a long time.
I didn't push him, just stood aside and waited. I'm so curious, but at this time, it seems that I, an outsider, shouldn't be here. Gu Mo must have a lot to say to Ye Qing, and Ye Qing must also be the same. Should I leave first
Before I could make up my mind, Gu Mo had already taken a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and inserted the key into the door lock.
Click!
The same sound of opening the door, the same echo on the sixth floor with a weird atmosphere. I don’t know why, but I feel that the sound of opening the door this time is different. Is it just because the person opening the door is different
squeak
The old door was slowly pushed open.
Gu Mo did not go in immediately, but stood at the door, looking at the dark room, his eyes gradually turning red.
I took a step back quietly and decided to leave.
"Don't leave, come in together." Gu Mo stopped me.
I was startled.
Gu Mo didn't turn around to look at me. He sniffed and stepped into the house. Then he turned around, held the door, and forced an ugly smile. "You are like this, you still want to leave? I wanted to come back then." If you stay, you won’t be able to leave.”
I stared at Gu Mo in surprise. What does he mean? He knew that I followed him in the dream and saw him joining Aoba
"You have a special ability, right? There are no coincidences for people like us. Regardless of whether you were found by Ye Zi or not, if you are targeted by him, don't even think about escaping." Gu Mo said with a playful smile, but his expression still looked like crying. laugh.
Now I understood that Gu Mo didn't know about Meng, but simply felt that I couldn't escape Ye Qing's "magic clutches".
"It's too much to use me as bait. Ye Zi, Ye Zi!" Gu Mo turned around and walked into the house, shouting twice.
I heard the echo in the office, had an ominous premonition, and quickly followed him into the house.
Bang!
The door was closed after I entered the house. I turned around and saw no one.
Gu Mo, who walked into the back room, ran out with a frighteningly pale face and looked around.
"No one," I said softly.
Gu Mo swayed, opened his mouth several times, and slowly sat down holding on to the back of the sofa.
"2022... In this case, I will be an old man. Hey, people are old and can't stand being scared. Little brother, don't joke with me." Gu Mo slumped on the sofa and said in a coquettish manner.
I sighed and sat down next to him. I always felt that the sofa opposite was occupied by Aoba's people. As a client, I should sit on the other side.
Gu Mo looked at me seriously.
"You saw the note on the door. People from Qingye have disappeared for a long time, for several years." I said with difficulty, "I only found out about this place this year. The community here is going to be demolished, and I am demolished." I did it. I came here a few times, looked at your incident files, and then encountered something, and I got... super powers."
Gu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, "Oh. Did you use that ability to pull me out?"
I asked, "What happened to you? That record, Christina, what did she do to you?"
Gu Mo held his forehead and looked troubled, "I can't explain clearly. I heard the singing and saw that there was something wrong with the sonogram on the software. When I wanted to call Duzi and Nangong, I couldn't make any sound. Then. I am unconscious. Well... I should say that my consciousness is very confused, and I still have consciousness. I keep hearing Christina's singing, and occasionally other people's voices, but those voices gradually merge with Christina's singing. You Do you understand? It’s just like a chorus. Some choruses use some techniques, with different parts and lyrics, and then put them together in a certain section. That’s probably what it feels like.”
I nodded.
"The singing was so brainwashing, but I persisted and was never assimilated. I don't know how long I persisted... Ah, now I know, ten years. It's such a long time... It's incredible, I actually persisted for so long! "Gu Mo started to go off topic.
"Ye Qing must have done something." I said.
Gu Mo said "Oh" and was not surprised, "Keep on keeping on, it was about a while ago..." Gu Mo pondered, as if he was calculating something, "A year or two, it should be that long ago, I I started to feel overwhelmed.”
I couldn't help but look up at the quiet office.
I still don’t know when Ye Qing disappeared. Was it just a year or two ago that Gu Mo couldn't do what he wanted because of this
"I thought I was going to be assimilated, but I suddenly found myself back when it happened." Gu Mo laughed, "I thought that even if it was a dream, I would destroy that ghost, but that ghost The pulling force was so strong that I thought I was going to fail, but I didn’t expect that I was suddenly pulled by something.”
I held him in my dream.
"Is that you?" Gu Mo looked at me.
I admitted generously, "Yes."
Gu Mo patted my shoulder and said, "Thank you, little brother."
I was not happy with Gu Mo's name. I moved my shoulders and let go of Gu Mo's hand on my shoulders.
"After that, you know, when I wake up I'll lie down on your bed." Gu Mo spread his hands.
