Chapter 34 Detour

Walking into the Guanjin Ancient Ferry in the dark, even if Zhao Yuan has a big heart, he still feels that the atmosphere is permeating.

There was no one inside the ancient ferry, and the sound of one's own shoes on the stone slabs was clearly audible.

But the most uncomfortable thing is the red lanterns hanging over the streets. As Tian Tian often reminds me, in an ancient town without lighting, so many red lanterns powered by electricity dye the whole world with a red light.

Countless lanterns overhead cast light from all directions, breaking up the shadows. Every time you walked through a lantern strip, the shadows under your feet became more fragmented.

This atmosphere is too scary. It’s better to turn off the lanterns and let me just hold the mobile phone for lighting. Zhao Yuan was eager to speed up, but “Mr. Ye” asked him to move forward at a steady speed.

When I opened the phone I got, there was a map on the screen, with a lonely arrow pointing towards the innermost part of the ancient ferry.

He actually only walked this far? Perhaps because of the dark night, Zhao Yuan completely lost his perception of space and time. He thought he had walked for a long time, but in fact it only lasted a little over two minutes.

Bite the bullet and move forward, walking through the ancient buildings and walking through alleys one after another that are so dark that they can eat people. Zhao Yuan's nerves have been stretched to the limit.

There was a squeaking sound of wooden boards being stressed from the wooden structure building, which completely pierced the defense line in my heart, and all kinds of random thoughts began to flow out uncontrollably.

Is someone following me?

Zhao Yuan had reached the point where he could no longer ignore the warning of moving forward at a constant speed, and began to constantly adjust his speed. There seemed to be something behind him, and it was also adjusting its speed!

I didn't dare to look back at all. The wall of the Gu family's residence was already in sight in front of me. There might be security guards from the scenic spot on duty there.

With such hope, Zhao Yuan hurried forward quickly. During the process, he even tripped over a raised stone slab.

Staggering, he rushed to the entrance of the Gu family's residence.

The door was locked and the ticket office was dark. There was no sign of anyone.

Gasping for air, Zhao Yuan's physical fitness also stretched his hips. He really couldn't run anymore. More importantly, he had no way to turn back now.

Fortunately, there were still a few street lights around the Gu family's residence, and some normal white light became Zhao Yuan's only safe haven.

I leaned against the lamp pole to adjust my breathing. After gradually calming down, the strange feeling in my heart began to dissipate.

Maybe it's just my psychology. How could there be something following behind? It's just that I'm too nervous, he comforted himself like this.

"You are back."

In the night wind, a resentful word penetrated into Zhao Yuan's ears.

"What?"

There was obviously no one around, so what was going on with the sound just now?

"You're finally back~" The voice continued, like a small insect, biting down the ear canal and directly biting the tip of the heart.

"You still know how to come back?"

The door to the Gu family's mansion was suddenly opened. A woman in plain clothes, holding a strange meat ball in her hand, stood at the entrance. Her eyes full of resentment were staring straight at Zhao Yuan.

"Ah!" The panicked scream almost penetrated half of Guanjin Ancient Ferry.

In the next few minutes, Zhao Yuan had no idea what was happening, and his body ran wildly out of instinct. When he came to his senses, he was already passively completing a positioning test around the ancient town.

There were still countless red lanterns above the head, hundreds or thousands of them stretching to the end of the road. There were vibrations in the ancient buildings on both sides. The moment the woman appeared, the entire ancient town seemed to have turned into a man-eating monster.

beast.

The light bulbs in many red lanterns became overloaded, and the color became more and more blood red, making people feel dizzy when looking at them.

Then there was a muffled "bang bang" sound, the light bulb walls exploded one by one, and plastic debris covered the entire road ahead.

The touch on the soles of the feet becomes very strange. Sometimes one step feels like stepping on glass marbles, and sometimes it feels like stepping on sand. It is both a slip and a block. It makes every step forward become awkward.

Extremely difficult.

"Don't go~"

"Don't go~"

The woman's voice always surrounds me, and her figure appears more and more frequently in the buildings on both sides. Behind the carved windows, in the corridors, and even on the road ahead.

Now that things have come to this, we can only give it a try. No matter what it is, knock down the "woman" in front of us first.

The distance between the two quickly shortened, and Zhao Yuan put one shoulder forward, preparing for a collision.

The woman was already close at hand, and she used her back foot to push hard to the ground, using her whole body's energy to rush towards the opponent.

The next moment, he threw himself directly to the ground.

His arms urgently supported his body, almost feeling like they were about to break, and the pain forced Zhao Yuan to gasp for air.

At the last moment, the woman completed an evasion that ordinary people could not understand. At this time, she stood indifferently in front of Zhao Yuan, stopped and stared at him for a few seconds, and then went back to the ancient town.

"Brother, are you okay?" More than a minute after the woman disappeared, two people rushed from the entrance and helped Zhao Yuan, who was lying on the ground, up.

"It was my oversight. I should have arranged for someone to accompany you in. We saw the change in your speed, but we didn't expect your reaction to be so big.

"The test is over, this money will be regarded as my compensation to you."

Without any explanation, he stuffed a wad of money into Zhao Yuan's pocket.

Mr. Ye continued to talk to himself: "There is no lighting in this ancient town, and the red lanterns really make the atmosphere very strange.

"If I went in alone, I would definitely feel scared."

His words came one after another, directly blocking Zhao Yuan's thinking space, and Zhao Yuan was unable to think at all in his current state.

"No matter what, thank you for today. I will arrange for someone to take you back. You can have a good rest."

The two of them helped Zhao Yuan out of the ancient town, took away the mobile phone given to him, and stuffed him into a car that had been waiting for him on the roadside.

The story ends, even on this sunny afternoon, Zhao Yuan is still trembling while holding his cup of coffee.

His description leaves no room for doubt and must be related to the monsters in the game.

"By the way, how much did that person give you?"

"Two thousand. Why are you the first to ask about money?" Zhao Yuan was quite dissatisfied with this.

Tian Chang explained: "Well, it's not that I agree with him. It's so dark in the ancient town. Have you ever experienced a particularly big storm? If you walk into a place like that alone, it's naturally easy for you to think blindly. As a result, you'll scare yourself.

, the more frightened it becomes, the scarier it becomes.”

For Zhao Yuan, it was the best choice to keep him away from the truth. And he took out two thousand as compensation, which further confirmed that "Mr. Ye" was Gu Ye, the second-in-command of Yuedong Technology.

"But, when I left Guanjin Ancient Ferry in the car, there was one more thing." Zhao Yuan still wanted to explain a few words.

"What's up?"
