"What's going on? Who is calling my name?"
John looked around in confusion, but there were people hurrying around everywhere, no one stopped, and among the crowd, John murmured and spoke.
But then he shook his head and chuckled, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and I had hallucinations."
Having said that, John prepared to move on.
"John... John..."
However, before John took a few steps, the gentle calling voice sounded again from John's ears, which immediately made John feel a little dazed. He looked around carefully, but he didn't see anyone calling him.
"John... John..."
"John... John..."
The sound never stopped and kept echoing in John's ears. This action made John's face change drastically and he felt extremely frightened.
John, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp, immediately stopped a middle-aged man and said in panic, "Sir, can you hear someone calling my name?"
"No."
The middle-aged man was frightened by John's action. He quickly shook his head, broke free from John's hand, and walked hurriedly forward, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with John at all.
After all, under such circumstances, extraordinary events occurred one after another, and the middle-aged man did not want to cause trouble. Whether John was joking or it was true, it would definitely be right to leave early.
The people around him also tacitly avoided John, who was already a little nervous: after all, at such a critical moment, no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.
"John... John..."
The sound still rang in John's ears, and John felt a sense of panic. After calming down for a while, John seemed to hear the direction of the source of the sound and realized something.
John couldn't help but walk in the direction of the voice. He no longer had any desire to go to work.
The voice gradually became clearer, and the sound echoing in John's ears was no longer so terrifying, but became somewhat... gentle.
John's mood also changed drastically that night. He was no longer afraid or terrified, but instead felt comfortable.
It seems...he now just wants to find the source of the sound and enjoy it to the fullest!
He walked through the streets and alleys for an unknown amount of time before he finally arrived at an alley.
There was no one in the dim alley. Even the wandering homeless people did not choose to patronize here. It looked very desolate.
This is a corner of London, separated from it by a wall is the bustling London neighborhood.
The dim light shone in, just enough for John to see the slightly mottled and dirty walls. In this dim alley, the voices calling his name were getting closer and closer, as if they were right inside the alley.
"I am coming."
Looking at the dim alley, John murmured to himself, and a clarity appeared in his eyes. However, at this moment, a dawn and hope suddenly rose in his heart, and he could not help but stand there in astonishment.
"What's going on? Why can't I control myself and come over here?!"
At this moment, John seemed to have regained his senses and was immediately filled with fear.
He looked at the dim alley in front of him, not knowing what to do and feeling a little helpless.
The alley seemed to be filled with endless temptations, tempting John to step into it again and again, but reason told John that there might be something in there that could kill him!
At this moment, John was in hesitation and he didn't know what to do.
Should I go into the alley, or call the police immediately and choose to leave here?
"John... everything you want is here... John..."
The voice in the alley came again: "Money...power...strength...status...eternal life..."
Hearing this, John, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked into the alley, and his breathing became a little rapid.
Money! Power! Strength! Status! Immortality!
These five points can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of mankind, and are things that many people in ancient times found difficult to pursue in their entire lives.
And John actually...also wants to pursue these points and wants to get these things!
He does not desire strength or immortality, he only desires power and wealth!
"Can you meet these conditions for me?"
John looked at the direction where the voice came from with a dry mouth, and said excitedly: "If this is the case, what price do I need to pay?"
However, the voice in the alley did not respond to him, but continued to call out John's name repeatedly.
After taking a deep breath, John strode forward!
Rather than living in mediocrity, John would rather exchange something for becoming more powerful in the future!
The alley was very dark, so dark that John could hardly see clearly. He stepped into it, and could only see flies and mosquitoes buzzing everywhere, which made John a little unbelievable.
It's winter, how can there be flies and mosquitoes?!
Have scientists bred flies and mosquitoes that can survive the winter?
It’s terrifying when you think about it!
But soon, John saw a dull golden ring on the edge of the trash can.
The ring appears to be made of pure gold, but for some reason, it looks very gray, as if it is fake and has no substantial function.
