Rat 2
Yan Ke was awakened by the cat. He stood up with difficulty and said, "Really, you know how to find a place."
The calico cat didn't move, just stretched its limbs and fell asleep.
He stood up as usual and opened the recruitment software. It was really difficult for him to find another job in this city. He first took a photo of a calico cat and sent it to the group to help find the owner, and then opened the recruitment software to send his resume.
He lived with the idea of working but not starting a business, making money but not investing. He didn't have any ideas and was very simple-minded. But he had thought about making money through the Internet before, but after thinking about what happened that year, he gave up. Although that incident was not his fault, a young life was lost because of him.
Six years ago, when he was a graduate student, he taught in a middle school, but his handsome appearance brought him trouble.
He shook his head, thinking that some things were better not to recall. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
He had just been brushing his teeth, and he quickly spat out the mouthwash in his mouth, rinsed it with water, and wiped his mouth with a towel. Now his messy beard could not hide his delicate eyebrows and eyes.
He came to the door in flip-flops and saw a man in police uniform through the peephole.
Yan Ke opened the door.
"502, the resident is here, is it Yan Ke?"
The policeman, who was wearing a police uniform and looked like he had just graduated, asked.
"yes."
He glanced at Yan Ke, a tall, bearded man who was not easy to mess with, and said, "It's like this, we just want to ask some questions."
Yan Ke made way for the door: "Officer, do you want to come in and talk?"
The two saw that the house was clean but not tidy. The mess was full of the breath of life, but it looked quite comfortable, which showed that Yan Ke was a person who loved life.
The man in police uniform quickly waved his hand: "No, we just ask you a few questions and then leave. No need to bother."
In the end, the two of them still sat on the sofa, holding the tea poured by Yan Ke.
"Have you encountered any strange people or things recently?"
Yan Ke rejected it: "No."
Then he pulled out a bunch of photos and asked, "Do you know these people?"
Yan Ke said: "I don't know him. I'm unemployed and staying at home recently. I know this guy. He's the uncle who often comes downstairs to pick up water bottles."
The two policemen looked at each other and then said, "Okay, that's fine. There are a lot of scams recently. For example, the one that asks you to challenge urban legends and give money is a scam. Be careful."
"Okay, thank you officer."
After the two left, Chen Guangbai said, "This guy's appearance is a little prominent, but he is just an ordinary person and has never been exposed to weird things."
"More and more people have disappeared mysteriously recently." Zhao Yitian took out his notebook and crossed out room 502.
A month ago, many areas shrouded in fog appeared all over the world. Official personnel exploring these areas disappeared one after another, and only sporadic videos were released. Incomprehensible strange creatures appeared in the fog, and they ate people. This heavy news immediately ignited public opinion, but it was suppressed by the hot search before it could be spread.
However, there are still quite a number of people who have seen this news. Most people will not delve into the truth, but there are always curious people.
There appeared a group of people who challenged the fog, but curiosity killed the cat. Many people lost their lives because of their curiosity. The upper echelons had always taken the fog incident very seriously, and now they take it even more seriously.
The authorities sent many people to explore the fog, but they all disappeared or went crazy. However, there were still some survivors who actually awakened superpowers, which made the worldview of the world that already worshipped science shaky.
Now, all they can do is block the news, because the unknown danger will cause great social panic and lead to the collapse of social order. Therefore, a large number of personnel have been sent recently to explore people's thoughts and collect information on how many people have come into contact with the weird.
Because they have come into contact with strange people, many of them have been mentally polluted and become insane. It is difficult to guarantee that these crazy people will not do anything harmful to society.
Yan Ke didn't feel anything unusual after closing the door.
Breakfast was prepared as usual.
This calico cat has a bad taste. It doesn't like eating chicken, but prefers eating chicken ham.
But this little one is so cute.
However, the man and the cat still maintained a subtle distance and lived in harmony and stability, because more than ten years ago, when Yan Ke was still in junior high school, he also raised a calico cat. Unexpectedly, he and calico cats had a good affinity.
"I've put the ham on the plate and washed the water bowl carefully. The only thing left is the litter box." Yan Ke was planning daily necessities for her little cat.
At this moment, a mechanical sound rang in my ears.
"The player has completed the game, and the free exploration mode has been enabled. The mode is loading..."
Yan Ke was not ready yet, and the familiar feeling of dizziness came over her.
Before your eyes is a towering Buddha statue, gazing at the earth and everyone with a look of compassion.
Yan Ke woke up instantly. How come there were other people here?
"Oh my god, what is this place?" Yan Ke looked up and saw several people, a middle-aged man who looked a little fat, but was dressed like a boss, two girls, both young, in their early 20s, and six young men, one of whom also looked very young and seemed easy to get along with, while the rest seemed like they didn't know each other and even seemed a little repulsive.
Sitting in the corner was a young man dressed in black and wearing a mask, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
Including him, there were eleven people in total.
"Oh my god, what kind of place is this? I don't want to stay here, it's too weird." A boy was dressed simply, but he looked like he had a nervous breakdown and was scared.
Between the towering mountains, there are various Buddha statues carved, some standing, some sitting, with lotus flowers, lions, dragons, tigers, white cranes, etc. under their bodies. Some of the standing ones have kind faces, while others have ferocious faces. With so many Buddha statues standing here, one look is shocking, two looks are fearful, and three looks are terrified.
When Yan Ke played the game before, this was the first level, but he had it too easy and had long forgotten the content. Now, if it weren't for the game panel in front of him, he wouldn't have tried so hard to mobilize his memory, but he couldn't remember it very clearly. It was as if his memory was covered by a layer of gauze, and he couldn't remember any details at all. He didn't believe that this would happen without the intervention of rules.
This was the first time he played this game with so many people. It was like a psychopath's fantasy. Everything didn't exist. It was all fake. Since it was fake, just take it easy.
Yan Ke didn't say anything, but stood silently in the corner, venting his emotions together with the young man squatting on the ground in the corner, watching the people in front of them.
One of the two girls was so scared that she was shaking and could hardly walk. Under such circumstances, there were still people who wanted to be gentle with her.
"Little sister, my name is Wang Qiang. Are you scared? Why don't you two stand between us?"
The person called little sister raised her head. She looked very charming and pitiful. Wang Qiang silently touched his hand in his heart.
Even though he was afraid, he still trembled and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang. I'm fine. I can hold on."
Yan Ke smiled silently and said, this kid is finished.
At this time, a boy poked him and said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you leave? What are you so stubborn about?"
Yan Ke turned around and looked at a boy holding a cell phone and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The boy raised his phone and said, "There is a signal here. We have suddenly traveled through time, but there is a signal here. Do you know what it means?"
Yan Ke shook his head.
"This means we may not have traveled through time, nor are we in the beginning of a thriller novel. We live in a society ruled by law. I'm using a live broadcast to locate our location. We may have been kidnapped. If we don't ask for help while we have a signal, what are we waiting for?"
Yan Ke nodded.
At this time, a cold male voice sounded: "There is a signal, but no one has entered your live broadcast room."
Fang Yu quickly checked his phone interface and found that there was really no one there. He swiped down and saw that the host he followed was broadcasting live. He then left a message in the comment section, but it could not be sent out.
"Hey, why can't I send a message? What kind of high-tech is this? What's going on?"
The boy who was talking was wearing a mask and black clothes, wrapping himself tightly, but he did not answer Fang Yu.
He raised his eyes and glanced at it, then continued to ponder, as if the suggestion just now was made by someone else.
"Then you can't make calls."
The boy next to Fang Yu said.
"Hey, what's going on? Why is it so weird?"
A strange atmosphere spread out, and no one dared to think too much about it. If they really traveled through time or entered a dungeon, they would be finished.
Some people are so scared that they don't know what to do and want to run away.
Fang Yu said: "If this is a copy of the infinite novel, you will definitely die if you run now."
The man just wouldn't listen: "In a society ruled by law, who dares to kill me? I'm going to go out and see who is behind this prank. Do these things look like playing house? Are they worth it?" The man didn't know what he was saying, and no one knew what he wanted to express.
I just watched the man rush into the fog, and soon he came back with only half of his body left.
Everyone, including Yan Ke, was terrified. This was too real. The scent of warm human blood spread with the mist. The man raised his hand and begged for help: "Save me."
But no one dared to rush into the fog, everyone was scared.
The dead man was called Zhang Cheng, a man who had struggled at the bottom of society. He died in obscurity at the foot of this mountain carved with Buddha statues.
Everyone wanted to scream, but was reminded: "Don't scream, don't walk around, if you touch the taboo, you will die."
Most of them are students in their twenties, or workers who have just entered the society. Only the middle-aged people Wang Liufu and Yan Ke can be considered veterans of the society.
Everyone quickly gathered together, not daring to move.
The girl with a sweet and charming appearance is called Tian Yixin, a sophomore. The other girl is a senior whom she met in the library, named Liu Anyu. They are both test takers. One is preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations, and the other is participating in a competition. The two have met several times in the library. If they had not suddenly come to this place, they would not have huddled together for warmth.
Everyone formed a circle, with the girls inside and the boys outside. In this critical moment, the moral constraints in everyone's minds had not completely collapsed because no one knew what the situation was.
No one wants to believe that time travel exists in the scientific world, or that it could happen to oneself, even if there is a dead body of someone who died because of believing in science lying not far away.
The middle-aged man smoked a cigarette and said, "What should we do? It's getting dark, and it's getting a lot colder here. The foggy place over there won't be visible when it's completely dark. Are we going to wait here to freeze to death, or die inexplicably for some inexplicable reason?"
At this time, a voice came from the front, and a young monk in a monk's robe came over and gestured with his hands.
The reactions of the people who first saw the little monk were all extremely exciting.
The boy with glasses who had been silent the whole time was called Gao Xu. He said, "He asked us to go up first because it was getting dark."
Everyone looked at each other, looked at the corpse in the grass, and followed the little monk up the mountain.
The mountain is not high, but there are many steps. Many people have not exercised for years, so they walked and stopped for fear of being left behind. It was very quiet along the way, with only the sound of people breathing.
After climbing the mountain road for an unknown amount of time, we finally arrived at the temple gate. It was already dark, and no one could see the words on the plaque.
Once you enter the temple, you'll see the corridors, the surrounding roof, and most eye-catchingly, the main hall which had long been closed.
The young monk led everyone to light incense and kneel down.
But everyone saw the touch screen and LED screen.
The words "Please visit in an orderly manner" were scrolling on it.
Yan Ke turned on his cell phone and saw that the signal was full.
It seems that this world is in modern times, or in the near future, otherwise how could the information be released?
"Is he asking us to burn incense?" Gao Xu asked in a low voice.
"Then go ahead. Someone's dead already. Don't be so fussy about it."
But everyone was still hesitating, fearing that they would break some rules and die.
At this time, the young man in black went up and lit three sticks, then knelt down, kowtowed a few times casually, and then stood up. The young monk smiled and nodded.
Everyone was relieved to see that the young man was fine.
