The Midnight Owl

Chapter 25: After submission

Views:

The red mountain under the night is vast and empty, quiet and desolate. After more than 400 years of wind and frost in Zhenbeitai, there are no more tourists in the daytime, standing quietly in the wind on the top of the mountain, like a military general, looking at the territory he guards.

Suddenly, a purple light spot appeared in mid-air, slowly getting bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it became a purple vortex the size of a manhole cover, and then four large living people fell out of it and crashed onto Zhenbei Terrace.

The muffled sound of the landing was accompanied by a painful cry of "ouch", which suddenly broke the silence of the top of the mountain.

If you look down at the top of Zhenbei Terrace at this time, you will see four figures with large fonts, all facing up to the sky, or breathing heavily, or breathing deeply, revealing the joy and exhaustion of escaping from death.

Qian Ai: "Why do I feel like I was thrown out..."

Xu Wang: "It's good to be able to come out alive, and you still expect Bataan to take you home."

Kuang Jinxin: "It's only four twenty..."

Qian Ai: "Four twenty? I feel like forty days have passed..."

Wu Sheng: "Take a two-minute break and leave quickly, the wind at the top of the mountain is hard."

However, after two minutes, the sense of achievement brought by "clearing the customs" gradually emerged from the exhaustion, which made people feel a little excited.

"If you can survive this level, you will definitely have to give you a head." The sudden flashback of the battle scene made Qian Ai sit up straight and look down at Wu Sheng seriously, "If you didn't hold the door frame when the tail exploded. , we all have to fly out!"

"It's alright," Wu Sheng stood up and patted the ashes on his clothes and trousers, like a cloudless wind and modesty, "In that case, it's instinct to look for stability, but I'm a little more agile in my reactions and actions. ."

Xu Wang lay there, squinting at Wu Sheng's smug brows that were about to fly, and really wanted to persuade Qian Ai: Stop boasting, and praise him for being able to land on the moon.

I don't know if it's because of the connection, Qian Ai really didn't continue to praise, but changed the topic: "But I was really stunned when you 'One Belt Three'. How did you practice in the past few years, and your physical fitness is so good?"

Wu Sheng was not happy to hear these words: "When has my physical fitness worsened?"

"High school," Qian Ai said, "I don't remember a time when Xu Wang and the crazy guy from Class 7 fought in the corridor. We were afraid of being caught by the teacher, and no one dared to do anything, so you went up to help Xu Wang, As a result, the boy from Class Seven pushed you and you fainted."

Wu Sheng: "..."

"He doesn't remember what I remember," Xu Wang regained his spirits, got up in twos and threes, and continued this memory, "The teacher came later, so how can I take care of us, send him to the infirmary first, there is no way , how precious is the first in the grade."

"That's right," Qian Ai nodded vigorously, "the boy from the seventh class was afraid of being punished, so didn't he collude with you and say that you two didn't fight, was it just a joke?"

"Cut," Xu Wang pouted, "I didn't want to pay attention to him at first, so I'll punish him. Anyway, as long as you don't make that kid feel better, anything is fine," he said, and he glanced at Wu Sheng, " Who knows that this guy woke up later, and it must be said that we were joking."

"He's helping you," Qian Ai couldn't listen to it, and spoke uprightly. "If he doesn't say that, you both have to remember a big demerit."

"Why do you always say that he helped me," Xu Wangren said for a long time. "Just now, you said that he started to help me, and he was to fight, okay, neutral."

"Wait for me, both of you." Wu Sheng really couldn't take it anymore and had to interrupt to justify his youth. He first looked at Xu Wang, "First, I'll go up and help you, even the old money. Come out, is your comprehension a negative number? Otherwise, why do you think you ended up with a verbal criticism." After speaking, he glanced at Qian Ai again, "Secondly, it shouldn't have been so many years, you both thought I was at that time. Are you really dizzy?"

Xu Wang hasn't come out of the confusion of "pulling the frame or pulling the frame sideways", and he received new information again, and his brain couldn't move a bit: "Huh?"

Qian Ai was also surprised this time: "Isn't it really dizzy?"

"Of course it's pretending to be dizzy." Wu Sheng said as a matter of course, "If I don't get dizzy, wouldn't it be a three-person fight? If I say I'm a drag, can that kid recognize it? So I have to be dizzy. If I'm dizzy, that kid will I'm afraid, as long as he admits his counsel, everything will be easy to operate..."

"I understand!" Kuang Jinxin sat up abruptly. In the first level, they met Xu Wang, but Xu Wang only saw that Wu Sheng didn't notice that he and Sun Jiang were next to each other, and the two of them reminisced about the old high school Xu Wang was kicked in the goal by three tigers and Wu Sheng called the teacher. When it came to the matter, Wu Sheng said at that time, "This is called outsmarting!"

Qian Ai: "… "

Xu Wang: "..."

Wu Sheng was very pleased. High mountains and flowing waters meet bosom friend, whose name is Kuang Jinxin.

Chatting and chatting, the four talents found that their location was not a wild hill, but a real 2/23 coordinate point - Zhenbeitai. In "Owl", this coordinate coincides with the boarding gate, so they walk from the terminal building to the boarding gate. In reality, the corresponding reality is from the hotel to Zhenbeitai. This is not a problem. The problem is that the plane later After flying for so long, could it be that they took off and landed on the spot, and they were all playing in circles in the sky? Or after getting on the plane, it doesn't count if you move it

The four of them were confused and couldn't think of a reason. After chatting, the excitement after handing in the papers slowly dissipated, and the tiredness struck again. Walking into the night, they left the scenic spot like thieves, called a car with their mobile phones, and returned to the hotel within fifteen minutes.

Standing outside the hotel door, they remembered a serious problem - when they entered the "Owl" at 0:00, they were communicating with the hotel auntie across the door. Later, they were all swept away. How would the auntie outside the door react? Doubtful to leave? Rushed into the house and found no one? Or simply call the police

In either case, they need to give each other a reasonable explanation.

And now, inside the floor-to-ceiling glass door, the aunt is lying on the front desk and dozing off.

"What should I do?" Qian Ai scratched his head worriedly.

"Come in." Xu Wang made a decisive decision, "What should come will always come, just act accordingly."

After speaking, he was the first to walk in, followed by Wu Sheng. Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai glanced at each other and followed suit.

As if sensing, the aunt happened to get up at this moment and opened her eyes. She wanted to yawn, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the four of them coming in from outside. Then the yawn stopped, and the eyes and mouth were still wide open.

The four of them stood still, not moving forward, not retreating, just quietly watching Auntie, adopting the strategy of keeping the enemy and me still.

"You..." Auntie finally spoke, but there was no questioning in her tone, just pure doubt and strangeness, "When did you guys go out? Why don't you see me here all the time?"

The four of them were confused by this unexpected question. You look at me and I look at you. In the end, Xu Wang said, "Uh, I went out earlier and had a late night snack. You may have fallen asleep and didn't pay attention."

"Oh." Auntie accepted this explanation without any obstacle, and at the end did not forget to warmly remind, "It's very windy at night, the children should wear more clothes."

Her attitude was very natural. After speaking, she yawned and put her hand on the counter, as if she continued to doze off.

Even the dullest person could sense something was wrong, Xu Wang went out and asked directly, "Auntie, you came to the room to find us before..."

He only said half of what he said. First, he was cautious and didn't want to mention too much. Second, he really didn't know how to answer it later. He couldn't say that you came to the room to find us and then we disappeared. What do you think about it

Auntie didn't wait for the follow-up for a long time, so she had to respond to the first half: "What? When did I find you?"

The air was suddenly quiet.

Xu Wang suppressed his disbelief, and he reminded again without giving up: "It's just twelve o'clock in the evening..."

"What are you talking about," Auntie was delighted, looking at them as if they were looking at a few nonsense children, "I've been here all night, when have I ever been upstairs."

Air, completely quiet.

They looked at the aunt, and the aunt looked at them blankly.

After looking at each other for a long time, the four finally determined one thing - Auntie, amnesia.

This inexhaustible dialogue ended with the inexplicable aunt and the four people's heartbeat.

They were shocked by the absurdity of "amnesia", and even more shocked by the power of "owl". But calm down and think again, "Owl" can bring people in reality into its world, and even the wounds in that world can be brought back to reality, tampering with a person's memory, what's impossible

But still too scary.

Such terrifying power blurs the boundaries between "owl" and "reality", and makes people who originally distinguished night and day very clearly and completely separated "owl" from life as a dream or an exam. Chill.

The four people who went back to the room were either sitting on chairs or by the bedside, silent and silent for a long time.

"Actually, it's a good thing to think about it from a different angle, so that we won't be treated as insane, and we won't have to lie to cover up strange disappearances," Kuang Jinxin spoke first. Vitality and optimism, "Go to sleep, wake up tomorrow is a new day."

Xu Wang sighed.

It will not be regarded as a neuropathy, but it has completely lost the opportunity to ask for help.

But on this night after a hard fight, let's not talk about such a heavy topic.

"Agreed," he patted his legs, stood up from the bed, and loudly echoed Kuang Jinxin, "Sleep!"

"I'm not going back to the house," Qian Ai immediately raised her hand, "I feel very insecure right now, I want to sleep with you three!"

"Old Qian," Wu Sheng corrected him seriously, "The three of us live in one room, it doesn't mean the three of us just sleep together."

Qian Ai was stunned for a moment, and then complained: "It doesn't all mean the same thing, why are you picking such fine words."

"No no no," Wu Sheng shook his head resolutely, "there's a big difference here..."

"Can you talk about something useful!" Xu Wang couldn't listen anymore, so he directly threw out a feasible operation, "Then put the three beds together, and the four of us sleep."

"Don't fight, it's uncomfortable to fall asleep under the bed," Kuang Jinxin volunteered, "Brother Qian, I'll go to sleep in that room and accompany you."

"Also," Xu Wang felt that this plan was good, walked over and patted Qian Ai's shoulder, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, Xiao Shuang can protect you."

Qian Ai looked at Xu Wang who was serious, then looked at Kuang Jinxin with a sincere face, and finally looked at Wu Sheng who didn't hear anything outside the window. He felt that his strength was insulted, but...

"I can see it."

After sending Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin away, Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were left in the room.
