Chapter 3 Blindness (3)

Strictly speaking, Bai Ke’s so-called “look” is not the norm, because he will not be disturbed by other factors such as light and darkness. Regardless of day and night, sunny and cloudy, what he sees will always be the outlines of dark or bright figures under a thick black background.

He himself didn't know what he saw, the soul, or something like that.

But what is certain is that people and things have not changed much. They have never seen the shadows that are so dim that they are almost difficult to distinguish. The next day, they are so clear that they wish they can even have clear facial features, and vice versa.

Even Bai Zixu, who is relatively unstable, floats between the darkness and the lightness because of the different degree of madness. More people and things are stable at the same brightness, and no changes can be seen in a few years.

But tonight, when Bai Ke walked into the corridor with Bai Zixu on his back and stood in front of the dim stairs, he felt a little unusual—

On weekdays, even if he never opens his eyes, Bai Ke can see the shadows of the stairs handrails in the corridor. They are blurry and shallow, not much brighter than the black background, but they are enough for Bai Ke to follow these outlines and go upstairs steadily. Over the years, there has never been any change, and even when he hurried downstairs, everything is still as old as before.

However, at this time, Bai Ke entered the corridor and calmed down for a while. What he saw in front of him was pitch black. If it weren't for him and Bai Zixu's hands hanging around his neck were still shining with glimmer, he would even think he was blind again.

Bai Ke was probably the first time in his life that he was a little envious of the flashlight, but it was a pity that he was not. The unreliable father on his back was just a madman, not Sun Wuzi. The non-natural light on them could not make the corridor slightly brighter.

So, after standing for a while and still not changing, Bai Ke opened his eyes helplessly-

In fact, to be honest, Bai Ke was not very reluctant to open his eyes. Although that Chen Po had caused a considerable psychological shadow to him at a young age, he has become much weaker after so many years. However, Bai Ke can handle his eyes closed and rarely encounter this kind of situation today where he really can't see his fingers, so he doesn't need to open his eyes to make things difficult for himself.

But today is a bit special.

If he was the only one, it wouldn't matter if he was hiding for a while, but he was still carrying unconscious things on his back. If he was hiding up the stairs with his eyes, he wouldn't have to get home. The people in this building would probably be shocked by them.

Just after opening his eyes and getting used to it less than a second, the outlines of the stair handrails really emerged. Bai Ke did not hesitate, took his long legs, walked upstairs step by step, steadily.

But when he just walked to the second floor and turned around and was about to continue walking up the first floor, Bai Ke looked up and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

“…”

So what's going on?

The little light spots flying everywhere in front of me were all over the place... They were fluttering in a mess, and almost threw themselves on Bai Ke's face and shouted: "Oh, it's dangerous ahead!"

Of course, this is something that Bai Zixu would do. These light spots floating in the corridor are obviously much more normal than him, but they just bump around in a random manner, chaotic and uneasy.

Bai Ke tried hard to recall what he saw in the last time he opened his eyes in this corridor, but then he felt helpless and found that he had never opened his eyes here. Even in the two years he was most curious about, he seemed to have never wanted to find out what he could see in this corridor.

But even without an impression, Bai Ke would not think that it would be normal for so many light spots to float in a corridor. After all, every time he sees these light spots, they are floating around the figures of the deceased.

"Is someone in the building dead again? Or is it left by Mr. Wu, who died a month ago?" Bai Ke murmured in his heart.

But the families upstairs did not have an elderly person...

Bai Ke hesitated for a moment, and finally continued to walk upwards. Nothing else, just because he was very small, so small that he almost started to remember things, he seemed to have heard someone say: "When you feel dangerous, go home." This sentence is quite ordinary, but for some reason, and stubbornly stayed in his mind. He couldn't remember the person who spoke, the voice, the scene at that time, and the sentence alone.

Actually, this statement is not strictly true, but people are probably often affected by some words that I remembered deeply when I was a child. Therefore, when Bai Ke grows up so old, every time he encounters something unusual or uncomfortable, his first reaction is to go home first. This habit is as deep-rooted as instinct, and sometimes even he himself feels a little confused.

But at this moment, he was still executing this sentence, not only because of his subconscious reaction, but also because of Bai Zixu on his back.

But the more you go up, the more light spots there are floating, and the more chaotic it moves.

Bai Ke's brows gradually frowned and his pace slowed down a little.

However, there are only nine steps in total, and no matter how slow you are, you will have to walk to the end... So Bai Ke turned around the corridor and stood in front of the stairs leading directly to the third floor.

He could see his own door as soon as he looked up, but what made him a little stunned was that in addition to the familiar and dim security door, there were two people standing by the door.

The outlines of these two people were unexpectedly bright, much brighter than most people Bai Ke had seen, and they were not even inferior to Aunt Pang and Zongzi, and their facial features were very clear. Even if they were still a distance away, Bai Ke could see the expressions on their faces - slightly... distorted.

Because he is born blind, he can only see the facial features of a very small number of people clearly in recent years, and there are very few people in this part that can see the expression clearly, only a few, so Bai Ke is really not good at understanding "expressions". He can only understand simple emotions, and those with a little more complexity, are all classified as distorted in his eyes.

However, this "distortion" just flashed by. If it weren't for Bai Ke's strange way of looking at people, their expressions were clearly displayed by the pure black and white contrast at that moment, and if any normal person came over, they might not have noticed it.

The two men almost immediately changed into a polite smile, lowered their heads to Bai Ke under the steps, said, "Hello."

Bai Ke was a little surprised, and the "distorted" expressions of the two of them just now gave him a bad impression, which made him full of defense against these two people. However, nodded at them without expression, and then lowered his head slightly in the dark corridor, held Bai Zixu firmly, and went up the stairs step by step.

There were more and more light spots floating around. Finally, as Bai Ke stood at his doorstep, he finally discovered the source of these light spots.

These seemingly messy and noisy spots of light radiated from the chest of the shorter man among the two. The man stood a little behind, and half of his body was hidden behind the tall and thin man. It would be difficult to notice this without getting closer. Of course, if it weren't for Bai Ke, if it weren't for Bai Ke, no one else would be able to find it even if he was stuck in front of the short man.

However, at this time, it was no longer these light spots that attracted Bai Ke's attention, but three strange things that were blocked by these two people before.

The reason why they are called strange things is that they are about half a person tall, with hair mopping the floor, and they should be the place where they face, and you can see two pairs of eyes up and down. As soon as Bai Ke stood in front of the door and noticed them, those eyes were wrong, staring straight at Bai Ke, with a blank look like he was looking at a corpse or something inanimate. However, the most chilling thing was their sharp fangs. Bai Ke felt that even a cow could not withstand such fangs tearing a few times. Moreover, their outline was clearer than that of two taller and shorter, even surpassing Aunt Fat.

In front of such a monster, Bai Ke felt that it would be okay even if he forgot to completely close his eyes. No matter how scary his eyes were, could he still surpass these three goods? Besides, he was just half open...

I don’t know if it was born bold or calm, but when I saw such a strange scene, Bai Ke still had no obvious reaction on his face, as if he only saw two people smiling amiably.

"I have borrowed it." Bai Ke pretended to be stupid and rushed to the tall and thin man who happened to be standing in front of the door lock.

In fact, he was indeed rushing into the house because Bai Zixu on his back was not at all light, and if he was consuming it here, Bai Ke would not be able to carry it.

However, the tall and thin man didn't have the stance to get out of the way. Instead, he smiled politely and pointed to the next door, saying to Bai Ke: "Hello little brother, we are here to find 302 next door to you. We are their distant relatives. This time my sister got married, and we happened to pass by. I came to send an invitation. But they seemed to have gone out, and no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time. Do you know where their family has gone?"

The tall and thin man seemed to be extremely natural when he spoke, and patted Bai Ke's shoulder. At the same time, he turned sideways, so that the short man behind him could naturally come to Bai Ke's side.

"Are you their distant relative?"

"Yes, our brothers do some small business in Xiucheng. This time we came on a business trip, so we would go on the way."

Bai Ke glanced through his half-open eyes, took the opportunity to get to the two people who were less than an arm away from him, and then glanced at them because they could not see them, so they stood up with their actions, and the three monsters surrounding Bai Ke were silently silent...

“…”

relative?
