"That's true." Xu Dingjia nodded and said, "It is because of the weird time and space rules here that your time and space afterimage will continue to exist. In some ways, because of the accident you encountered in the attic, you have been Become one with this orphanage. This also arouses the void creature's interest in you. It will keep hunting you, and you will be resurrected every time you are swallowed. Because you have no past, you do not exist. The possibility of being erased, once the orphanage goes back in time, you will be resurrected. To the void monsters, you are simply an inexhaustible source of food."
"It's actually like that!" Zhang Yi whispered, his almost numb face making it difficult to tell what he was feeling at the moment.
Jiang Cheng felt terrified just hearing Xu Dingjia's description, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there no way to save him? Do we have to watch him suffer here?"
"There is no way." Xu Dingjia shook his head helplessly, "Because his past has been swallowed up, theoretically he is a person who should not exist. He can't go anywhere except here, which is why he can't find an exit."
Zhang Yi's voice came from the side: "In other words, will I stay here forever and be devoured over and over again?"
Xu Dingjia said regretfully: "That's it."
Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it and said: "Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes? Maybe we can help you achieve it after we go out."
Zhang Yi shook his head: "Since I no longer have a past, I'm afraid my parents have also forgotten my existence. What else can I wish for now?"
Everyone knew that Zhang Yi was very desperate, but they couldn't think of anything to comfort him.
At this time, Li Feng took out something from his arms and said, "I found this in the tent before. Maybe you left it behind."
Zhang Yi slowly raised his head, and suddenly a glimmer of light returned to his eyes, and he said in surprise: "It's a group photo of us!"
Jiang Cheng looked over and found that what Li Feng was holding was a photo. There were three people in the photo, one of them was Zhang Yi. However, what is strange is that these three people always seem a little lonely in the photos. Jiang Cheng always felt that there was something wrong with the photos. After looking carefully, he discovered that there was a large area of space around the three people in the photo, and there was often a distance between the three of them, as if there should have been other people in the photo, but they had been erased by the photo editing software. Same.
Xu Dingjia also noticed something was wrong and guessed: "This should have been a group photo of seven or eight people, but because they were all devoured by void monsters and their pasts were erased, the others did not appear in the photo."
Zhang Yi stood up suddenly and asked Xu Dingjia: "But, there are Lang Zhijia and Cheng Peng up here, does that mean they are safe?"
Xu Dingjia nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
Hearing Xu Dingjia's reply, Zhang Yi finally smiled, let out a long sigh, and said, "That's good, that's good."
Seeing Zhang Yi emerge from despair, Jiang Cheng couldn't be happy, because he almost had a premonition that even so, Zhang Yi's fate would not change at all.
Of course, Zhang Yi had already understood this, but he still bowed to Li Feng sincerely and said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me fulfill my last wish. Now that I know they are still alive, I no longer have What a pity."
Li Feng nodded silently and didn't say another word.
Zhang Yi completely restored his previous vitality and said: "Now, it's time for me to repay you!"
Xu Dingjia suddenly said: "By the way, you have been here for so long, you must know how to get to the attic and leave!"
Zhang Yi asked doubtfully, "Why are you going to the attic? Isn't it better to just leave?"
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "It's a long story. If it weren't for some special reasons, I'm afraid we would never appear in this place."
Zhang Yi was thoughtful and asked: "Is it related to the weird phenomenon here?"
"I don't know that clearly." Jiang Cheng shook his head.
Xu Dingjia said: "Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's really related. What I'm worried about is that we may not be able to avoid that terrifying existence!"
For some reason, Jiang Cheng felt that his thinking seemed to be getting faster and faster. When he heard Xu Dingjia say these words, he asked almost immediately: "You just mentioned that Zhang Yi encountered some kind of time and space in the attic. Twisted, could it be said that it is hidden in the attic..."
Xu Dingjia bit his lip and said with difficulty: "I'm afraid that's the case."
Li Feng asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
Xu Dingjia explained: "The things that caused the distortion of time and space here are in the attic! That is the source of the distortion and the place where the distortion of time and space is strongest. That's why Zhang Yi became a time-space afterimage there."
"Could it be that..." Li Feng murmured: "That thing is the truth that Chu Yan wants to tell us?"
"No!" Xu Dingjia frowned and thought deeply, "If she saw that thing, how did she successfully escape? And if she really saw it, she would never let us come here. Because the fear of facing that thing is Nothing else can compare!"
Jiang Cheng still doesn't know what it is that Xu Dingjia refuses to name, but he is now certain that it must be something terrible. Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, came up with a guess, and said, "Perhaps it was because your senior brother Cui Benshan was with her that they were able to leave safely. Or maybe the scary thing hadn't appeared at that time?"
Li Feng shook his head and said: "I actually have doubts. If it is really something important, why would she hide it here in the suburbs? Indeed, ten years ago this was still an orphanage where people could live, but in the past ten years, , does she know nothing about the changes here? Or, in the following time, Chu Yan has really lost her mind, so she doesn’t know what happened here? "
Jiang Cheng felt more and more confused as he thought about it, so he shook his head to clear his chaotic thoughts and said: "We have too little information now, and there is no point in making wild guesses. Anyway, with Zhang Yi's help, we will be able to leave calmly. , it’s better to go and investigate.”
Although Xu Dingjia hesitated, he still agreed with Jiang Cheng's point of view and said: "Indeed, if Chu Yan had been here before, my senior brother must have been assisting him. Perhaps, there are clues related to my senior brother hidden in this. If so, If this is the case, then I have no choice but to go!”
