Chapter 458 The old lady riding a bicycle to buy vegetables
The town where Gu Wenyu is located looks a bit strange. Granny Hua does not have this place in her memory, and she doesn't know how the black devil's conscious world could be such a place.
According to Gu Wenyu's own analysis, since she will appear in this place, either his brother's identity in this world is also in the Dark Lord's conscious world, or the Dark Lord's next goal is his brother's identity in this world, so
It's to stop the Dark Lord from harming my brother.
No matter what the situation was, Gu Wenyu had to follow Granny Hua's original plan to first find the good intentions of the black devil and awaken him.
Gu Wenyu looked around. There was no one on the whole street, but the shops were all open. There were clothes sellers, convenience stores, hardware stores, fried chicken shops, shoe sellers, and all kinds of shops.
He casually opened the refrigerator outside a convenience store. The refrigerator had electricity. Gu Wenyu took out a bottle of iced Coke and drank it. There was no problem with the taste. It was no different from real iced Coke.
"Hiccup~" Gu Wenyu burped, very satisfied.
We walked a little further and came to a crossroads.
The traffic lights were still running as usual, but there was still not a single person in sight.
"Xiao Bai, is there anyone else's breath here?" Gu Wenyu could only distinguish the breath of monsters and demons, but was not so sensitive to human breath.
"No, there is no one except the old woman." The old woman mentioned by the white-faced fox is naturally Granny Hua.
"Who are you calling the old woman?" Gu Wenyu's mouth turned up high, and there was still a bit of a girl's coquettishness, but it still felt a little strange for an old lady to make such an expression.
"Please look in the mirror. Are you still a little girl?"
"Humph." Gu Wenyu turned his head and glanced at the window on the side. The standing figure in the mirror did look a little... old.
Gu Wenyu added a strengthening force to himself, allowing Granny Hua's old body to move more flexibly.
According to the information Granny Hua has received, the Dark Lord’s benevolence is likely to be a child. Where could that child be?
Gu Wenyu thought about this problem seriously. She didn't know where the school in the town was, or whether there was a playground in the town. She walked aimlessly on the street.
Passing by a bookstore, Gu Wenyu went in and rummaged around with the intention of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, she actually found a map of the town.
Judging from the map, the town covers a very small area. There are only a few schools in the town, and there is no playground at all. There is a small park, and Gu Wenyu plans to visit each one.
There is a "sun" with no temperature hanging in the sky of the conscious world, which means it is still daytime. As Gu Wenyu stays in the conscious world longer and longer, the angle of the "sun" will also change accordingly. It looks like
That's what happened.
After running through all the schools and parks, it was already dark, and the Dark Lord's good intentions were not found in these places.
As the world of consciousness turns dark, some black shadows gradually appear in the town. They have vague human-shaped outlines, floating around in the sky above the town, and making sharp howls, which are somewhat like fingernails scratching a blackboard.
The sound makes people feel heartbroken when they hear it.
Gu Wenyu didn't know what those things were, but for safety reasons, she hid in the house after seeing the black shadow and did not come out.
The white-faced fox has never entered the conscious world, and her knowledge in this area is obviously lacking. The white-faced fox does not know what these black shadows are.
"A bit like a Rakshasa." The white-faced fox judged based on his appearance.
"There is no evil spirit." Gu Wenyu did not smell any evil spirit, and she was quite certain about it.
"How about catching one and studying it?" the white-faced fox suggested.
"Well..." Gu Wenyu hesitated. These things did not cause substantial harm to her. If one caught one and caused a chain reaction, it would be more than worth the gain.
"Quickly, catch one and take a look." the white-faced fox urged.
"Goodbye, I'm not that curious either." Gu Wenyu refused.
The black shadow is wandering over the town. Although there is no demonic or demonic energy, there is a huge pressure hanging over the town. I don't know why, but it gives people a very dangerous feeling.
Gu Wenyu stayed in the house all night. When it got light and the shadows dispersed, Gu Wenyu started to move again.
She found an unlocked bicycle at the door of the barber shop next door. Gu Wenyu got on the bicycle, feeling like an old lady going to the market to buy groceries.
Gu Wenyu searched around the town, asking the white-faced fox every five minutes: Is there anyone there?
The white-faced fox would be so annoyed by Gu Wenyu that he would become autistic.
But even so, Gu Wenyu searched the entire town and found no living creatures.
Is the guess that stumped Granny Hua and others wrong?
There are no good thoughts at all in the Dark Lord's conscious world?
Gu Wenyu didn't give up. She rode her bicycle to the edge of the town, planning to go to the outside and look around again.
However, when Gu Wenyu came to the edge area of the town marked on the map, there was no road leading to the suburbs, but still within the town.
The three-story building, various shops, and restaurants were no different from the small towns that Gu Wenyu had visited.
"Huh?" Gu Wenyu took out the map to confirm. The map showed that he would have to leave the town if he went further.
But this was not actually the case. Gu Wenyu continued to ride forward without knowing why, and after walking forward for a while, Gu Wenyu felt more and more familiar.
Finally, she saw a bookstore that was very similar to the one where she found the map yesterday. The name of the store was the same, but this bookstore was slightly newer.
Gu Wenyu parked her bicycle casually on the side of the road, and walked into the bookstore.
The displays in the bookstore are almost exactly the same as those in the bookstore yesterday. There are still several town maps placed where the map was found yesterday.
Gu Wenyu picked up the map and compared it. The map was exactly the same.
"Walk back?" Gu Wenyu felt like she had encountered a ghost. She had obviously been riding forward, so how could she have returned to this bookstore?
When the white-faced fox heard Gu Wenyu speak, she responded conditionedly: "No one."
"I didn't ask you if there is anyone, Xiaobai, did we encounter a ghost? Isn't this the bookstore where I took the map yesterday?"
"There are no traces of illusion." The white-faced fox replied.
"It's a chain store..." Gu Wenyu was a little unsure, but why were the maps exactly the same?
Gu Wenyu scratched her head. Although she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to linger here any longer. Before leaving, Gu Wenyu glanced at the latest magazine on the bookshelf, which was from 1986.
The year in this world was different from her own, and Gu Wenyu didn't pay much attention to it. She continued walking forward on her bicycle. Gu Wenyu had a vague feeling in her heart that she might not be able to leave this town today.
Gu Wenyu followed the map instructions and continued walking to the edge of the town. She checked the map along the way. Gu Wenyu was sure that this town was the same town where she had spent the whole day. She had never left the town.
There was even an identical bicycle parked in front of the barber shop where she rode her bicycle, but that one seemed a little newer.
"Xiao Bai, we are really going in circles." Gu Wenyu came to the edge of the town again. There was still no road leading to the suburbs, but small towns connected to small towns.
The white-faced fox observed carefully for a while, and finally said with certainty: "There is no illusion, maybe this guy's conscious world is like this..."
The white-faced fox himself was not sure about this.
Gu Wenyu gritted her teeth and continued to ride forward. The familiar scenery came into her sight again. Except for some small details, the large sections were almost the same.
Gu Wenyu rode all the way to the outside of the bookstore with the map. Sure enough... it was still the same bookstore, with the same layout, and even the location where the map was placed remained the same.
The only difference is that the magazine on the bookshelf is from 1985?
