Outside the door is a foggy space, with neither the sky nor the earth visible. It is chaotic and chaotic, just like the ruins of a city shrouded in a huge haze. Someone asked, since you can't see anything, how can you be sure it is a ruins of the city.

According to Brother Peng, when he walked out of the elevator door and looked up at this space, he could feel a kind of sadness and desolation. Later, when he thought about it carefully, this feeling was inexplicable and indescribable, just like walking into a place experiencing a major disaster.

Human cities after the disaster are full of sorrow, desolation, and misery. The cold wind stirs up the thick fog, and what you see is the loneliness and desolation after the destruction of civilization.

This feeling is extremely depressing and makes people breathless. Although this space is shrouded in thick fog, it is like a majestic and huge monster, standing quietly, as if it wants to devour the world.

Brother Peng unconsciously felt the hairs on his body stand up. It was not because he was afraid, but because he felt helpless in the face of Hong Han's natural shape, like an ant.

At that time, he seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. He wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave. He just stood there, his two legs fighting.

At this time, it was Li Damin who discovered the problem. Not to mention that this kid had a sharp mind and could grasp all suspicious details.

He asked: "Brother Peng, you said at first that you got on the elevator involuntarily and seemed to have lost your mind. But why do you dare not leave now that you see this world? Could it be that you had a clear consciousness at that time?"

Brother Peng looked at him in confusion: "To be honest, I don't know." He pondered for a moment, obviously thinking about this problem. Then he said something, and both Li Damin and I were dumbfounded.

Brother Peng said, my consciousness seems to be given to me by something.

That is to say, let’s call it this force for the time being. It not only creates scenes for people, but also gives consciousness and feelings at the appropriate time.

It would be too mysterious to delve into it here. We didn’t have time to think about it, so we just marked it here and asked Brother Peng to continue talking.

Brother Peng walked forward in the maze and saw a cave. This cave was the only way forward. Either go in or go back. Brother Peng said that he had no intention of going back at that time and was confused.

Desperately, I continued to move forward.

This cave is dark and deep, like a bottomless abyss. How dark is it? There is no light at all. That absolute darkness seems to have a powerful attraction that can suck people in, break and dismember them, and melt into this endless world.

In the endless void.

When Brother Peng said this, he took a deep breath and showed a deep pained expression on his face. He was breathing quickly and covered his chest with both hands. His move scared Li Damin and I. It was going to cause a heart attack.

Suddenly, we will definitely have a relationship.

Li Damin and I quickly reached out our hands: "Brother Peng, are you okay?"

Brother Peng waved his hand and slumped down on the boss's chair. His face was pale, his teeth were chattering, and the confused fear in his eyes was simply indescribable.

The atmosphere at this time was very solemn and depressing. Both Li Damin and I were frightened by him.

After a long while, Brother Peng said: "You can't even imagine what that blackness looks like. I don't think there is one in this world. It is a kind of pure darkness, a darkness without a trace of light. However, this is not yet

The scariest."

I tried hard to imagine that kind of darkness in my mind, cleared my throat and asked: "What is the scariest thing?"

"When I stood at the entrance of the cave and stared deeply into the dark abyss, guess what I saw?"

Li Damin and I looked at each other and shook our heads.

"I saw myself." Brother Peng said word for word.

You must not be able to imagine how I felt after he said those words. It was like an electric current coursed through my body, and indescribable fear surged in like a tide.

"You saw yourself" Li Damin couldn't believe it.

"I saw another me, standing on the other side of the abyss, staring deeply at this me."

There was no sound at all in the room, we listened quietly.

"The abyss is like a mirror. I'm sorry, I really can't describe the feeling. I stared into the darkness as if I were looking into my own heart. What scares me most is that although I saw me, I

He didn't seem to recognize him, as if he was looking at an indifferent and distant stranger."

"What then?" we asked.

"Then I entered the cave." Brother Peng said.

Brother Peng got into this black abyss and walked in the dark. I don’t know how long he walked, but suddenly there was light in front of his eyes. People who have been in the dark for a long time will not be able to cope with the strong light. But Brother Peng

He said that the light that appeared in front of him was very soft and did not hurt the eyes at all. Logically speaking, it is a very exciting thing to escape from the darkness and see the light for the first time. But Brother Peng was not only not excited at that time, but also felt a wave of excitement in his heart.

desolate.

When he walked out of the black hole, he saw the ruins of a dilapidated city. What he saw was a dilapidated scene. The residential area was empty, the buildings collapsed, and the entire sides of some high-rise buildings were missing. The steel frame barbed wire snaked out, like

A divine ax descended from the sky and cut it neatly. The ground was rugged, as if it had experienced a huge and devastating war.

Brother Peng said, I just kept walking aimlessly, without even a single person in sight, and I felt indescribable helplessness and panic.

The sky gradually darkened, and yellow smoke slowly rose, looking a bit like a sandstorm. It slowly enveloped the sky and the earth, and the line of sight became worse and worse. The visibility was no more than a few meters. Brother Peng was walking in this smoke in a daze, and he didn't know it.

Where will it go.

The weirdness of the scene was not the source of his fear. What frightened him most was that there seemed to be something indescribable hidden in the haze and huge ruins of the city. To use an inappropriate metaphor, this piece of

The city seemed dead and lifeless, and those things were like phosphorus fire jumping on the dead bodies.

Brother Peng always felt like there was someone behind him, looking at him in the deep fog. That feeling gave him goosebumps on his back.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums from a place very close and yet far away. It sounded very lively. The rhythm of the drums was fast but not chaotic. It was very rhythmic. It seemed to follow some pattern and made people feel happy.

It sounds very comfortable.

He raised his eyes and saw two red lanterns faintly appearing in the misty whirlpool.

Brother Peng was so happy that he finally found the large army. It was so exciting to meet the crowd in such a dark and eerie place.

He stepped forward and walked forward. At this time, the thick fog was getting thicker and thicker. He couldn't see his fingers before and after, and he had no sense of direction at all. The only thing that could guide him was the two red lanterns hanging high in the sky.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I just know that as I walked closer and closer, the sound of the gongs and drums became louder and louder. The drums sounded particularly harsh, and there was also the faint sound of a large group of people. It was very noisy and lively.

Brother Peng quickened his pace and hurried there, only to see a blur in front of him, passing by him, and there was no end no matter how he walked.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "Don't leave. If you leave again, you will really die."

These words were spoken very softly, but to Brother Peng's ears they sounded like the sound of a Buddhist bell. It seemed as if something flashed through his mind, and he suddenly woke up.

Scenes of the past flashed through my mind like a movie. Every scene of how I had a heart attack, how I was sent to the hospital, and how I died on the operating table was extremely clear.

Only then did he know that he was dead.

When he realized this problem, Brother Peng said that the despair and fear were like ten thousand ants biting in his heart and body, and his whole person collapsed.

He turned around and saw an ancient alley emerging from the maze, with high red walls on both sides and covered with weeds. At the entrance of the alley squatted a man, wrapped in a black cotton-padded jacket, holding a long cigarette in his hand.

gun.

This kind of smoking gun has only been seen on TV. The copper cigarette handle is very long, about one meter long. The man's face cannot be seen clearly, and it feels like he is both in front of him and far away in the horizon. His mouth keeps moving,

He should be sucking on his cigarette holder.

He stood up, tapped his pipe pot on the soles of his feet, pointed at Brother Peng and said: "Peng Liang"

Brother Peng took the opportunity to agree: "Hey"

"Peng Liang" the man called again.

"Why"

"Peng Liang" he called for the third time, each one louder than the last. The sound was like something sharp piercing into Brother Peng's mind. He became more and more awake, and his response became louder and louder.

"Peng Liang, we two brothers are destined to come with me, and I will take you back."

"Hey" Brother Peng was about to walk away when suddenly the fog cleared and he saw that he was in an open space in the middle of a street. The street was very long, and two teams were slowly walking towards the middle from the left and right ends.

One team was playing dragon heads, with loud gongs and drums and bright lights. In the distance, a lifelike black dragon was seen dancing among the crowd, flying up and down. The two dragon eyes on the dragon's head were glowing red, like two bright lights.

Haze. They say the finishing touch is true. With these two red dragon eyes, the dragon seems to be alive, and even the beard on the dragon's head is trembling. The crowd bursts into enthusiastic cheers from time to time. The excitement is almost like going to a New Year's fair.

.

The other team couldn't tell what they were doing, it was also a crowd. Among the crowd, you could see colorful petals flying into the air from time to time, and then slowly falling to the ground. The air was filled with a disgusting feeling of burning pig heads.

aroma.

The two teams walked slowly from both ends to the middle as if following a certain procedure, while Brother Peng stood in the middle of the street, looking to both sides from time to time, mesmerized.

On one end was a black dragon wading through the dim yellow haze, and on the other was a heavenly goddess scattering flowers that was breathtakingly bright and breathtakingly beautiful. He couldn't even move his legs after seeing it.

At this time, someone yelled: "Peng Liang"

"Hey" Brother Peng was all excited and looked at the man with the cigarette bag across from him.

"Come here and I'll take you back." The man's voice was very seductive.

Brother Peng thought of a voice in his heart, I want to go back, I want to go back.

He walked over slowly.

"Peng Liang" Suddenly another voice sounded beside me, that voice sounded very familiar.

Brother Peng turned his head and saw that the dragon dance team was approaching at some point. Among the large group of people who were blurry and silhouetted, there was a pale old man who looked very real. He was hunched over and wearing very old yellow overalls.

Standing not far away, his wrinkled face was full of smiles: "Liangliang, grandpa is here, come and see grandpa."

Brother Peng’s grandfather died of cancer, pancreatic cancer. The old man was diagnosed with a terminal illness at the age of 85. Because he was too old, there was no way to treat it. Grandpa struggled for a year until last year. When he died, Peng Liang was discussing business in Hong Kong. News

He didn't rush back when the news came. First, the family could handle it, and second, since grandpa was so old, everyone was mentally prepared. The old man had been treated as a dead person when he was still alive. There was no feeling of sadness.

It is said that when the old man died, he kept thinking of one name, Peng Liang.

This is very surprising and puzzling. The relationship between Peng Liang and his grandfather is not deep. It can be said that they have not seen each other for a year. Before the old man left, cancer cells came to his brain, and he was basically confused. He talked nonsense all day long.
