Chapter 31 Parallel World
Under the illumination of the street lights, the originally translucent light yellow river water became pitch black and invisible.
On the surface of the black river, three pairs of shoe prints appeared, from the river bank to the middle of the river.
Since the flames of the street lights could only illuminate things three meters away, Chen Xi couldn't see the shoe prints three meters away, so he asked Xiao Hui to go forward.
Xiao Hui tried to touch the black river water with its chain-like tail, but the tail didn't melt when it touched the black river water, it just moved up and down against the water surface as a two-dimensional gesture.
But the black river water was too black, Xiaohui became completely invisible after touching the river water, its own color was completely covered by the black of the river water.
Chen Xi looked at the pitch-black river, and even the strong light of the flashlight couldn't break it, so he tried to probe the water with his fingers.
With a puff, the nails dipped into the water, there was no severe pain, only a cold touch.
Then Chen Xi found that he couldn't float on the water like Xiao Hui and swim. He could only watch Xiao Hui hold up the street lamp and shine the green flame light into the middle of the river.
In the middle of the river channel, with the flames of the road lights shining, the light yellow color also becomes pitch black and invisible, and the light green shoe prints also extend from the bank to the center of the river channel, continuing to the forward road.
Xiao Hui continued to walk far away, and the high-raised street lights moved together with Xiao Hui, disappearing out of thin air in the middle of the river.
Chen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately called Xiao Hui back through the superficial consciousness of the summoning contract.
In the next second, a guide light suddenly appeared in the middle of the river, and Xiao Hui carried it back to Chen Xi's feet.
Seeing Xiao Hui returned safely, Chen Xi's tense heartstrings eased.
It turns out that just now Xiao Hui went into the darkness alone, not disappearing, but going to another world.
That world is exactly the same as here, except that the main colors are gray, white and black.
Hearing this answer, Chen Xi's heart moved.
Maybe Zhou Wenbin and Luo Mang are in that gray world.
It's a pity that he can't walk across this river. Although he can swim, it's too insecure for him to dive into the black river and swim. He doesn't want to do that.
"It would be great if there was a boat here." Chen Xi thought to himself.
When he thought this way, the guide light shook slightly, making a tinkling sound like wind chimes.
"Jingle Bell."
The wind chime rang three times in a row, and the sound was transmitted very far.
Chen Xi heard it, but did not stop the street lights.
Because when the street light is shaking, it means that it can attract an extradition boat. If Chen Xi dares to board the boat, it will dare to shake it.
So with this scene, the sound of wind chimes spread into the darkness.
After a while, Chen Xi heard the sound of the oars splashing the water, crashing and crashing.
Looking at the middle of the river, half of the hull appeared.
Hush, the paper oars on the paper boat rippling through the waves, and slowly stopped in front of Chen Xi.
A paper boat is not a small origami boat, it can accommodate six or seven people depending on the size of the boat.
Xiao Hui stepped onto the boat, and the guide lights were placed on the bow, and the faint green flames flickered, illuminating the front.
Immediately, three rows of light green shoe prints appeared on the black river surface, leading into the darkness.
Chen Xi hesitated for three seconds, gritted his teeth, and stepped on this fragile-looking paper boat.
After sitting on the paper boat, Chen Xi seemed to be sitting on the air, which felt very unreal.
Jingle Bell.
The street lamp swayed gently, and made another chime-like sound, which rang in Chen Xi's mind, touching a certain heartstring.
After the paper boat heard the wind chimes from the road lights, the paper boat oars automatically rattled the waves without anyone, and the hull immediately moved forward on the black river.
The flame also moved with the movement of the ship, always illuminating the darkness ahead.
Chen Xi turned his head and saw that the river surface behind him became more and more blurred.
There was a cloud of fog in front of him, and as Chen Xi stepped into the fog, the color of the world in his eyes changed completely.
Gray, endless gray.
Chen Xi saw a completely different city. The urban buildings in the distance should have been colorful, but the neon lights of various colors lost their colors, leaving only gray, black, and white.
It was like black and white photos slowly spreading out in front of his eyes, covering the whole world.
Except for the wrong color, the cityscape here is exactly the same as Yongcheng, there is no difference, like a parallel world.
By the way, Chen Xi himself has colors, and Xiao Hui and the street lights also have colors.
With a bang, the paper boat docked.
Chen Xi took Xiaohui off the boat and found that this is where he left the shore just now, that is to say, he did not swim to the other shore, but swam back to the original point.
Xiao Hui continued to hold the guide light high, the green light illuminated a distance of three meters ahead, revealing three rows of shoe prints.
The three rows of light green shoe prints lead all the way into the distance, and their steps look a bit messy, as if there are horrible creatures chasing and killing them behind them, causing them to run chaotically.
Chen Xi worried about them, how long has it been since the roommate disappeared?
He took out his mobile phone to check the time, it was 11:50 in the middle of the night, a whole day.
But at this point in time, he seems to have seen it somewhere, was it last night?
Chen Xi frowned, the same sense of coincidence appeared in the second time when he played Midnight Killer, and what was the reason this time.
He became silent, followed the shoe prints on the ground, and came to the side of an asphalt road.
On the sidewalk, the three rows of shoe prints disappeared and became the tracks of three bicycle wheels.
Seeing these three traces, Chen Xi suddenly looked around.
Familiar streets, familiar bus stop signs, familiar store entrances, and street lights next to them.
This place is where they sit on the shared bicycle.
It's just that these traces lack one person—Chen Xi!
He also escaped on a shared bicycle, and he should not be alone.
Or did Chen Xi not get caught, so there is no trace of him in this gray parallel world?
Chen Xi squatted down to look at the three car marks, his expression gradually became serious, and he saw the clues.
The positions of the three car marks are not close together, and there is an empty space beside it, which seems to be a space for the fourth person to ride.
That space happened to be where Chen Xi was riding his bicycle.
That is, they were foursome at the time.
Standing where he was, Chen Xi's expression changed, feeling that the disappearance of his roommate was becoming more and more confusing.
What happened the night Chen Xi and three roommates fled the river to the dormitory.
Why is only Hu Jing alive?
What were Zhou Wenbin and Luo Mang doing at that time?
He looked around, except for his own breathing, heartbeat and other sounds, he didn't hear any sound, and the street was eerily quiet.
In addition, this world only has three colors: grey, white, and black. Chen Xi always feels that this gray world is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
Maybe those beings in the dark are watching Chen Xi's arrival from some invisible corner.
Chen Xi thought for a while, and it was more appropriate to take Xiao Hui back.
There is no strength investigation right now, and when he recovers mentally, he can increase his strength by playing summoning, and then come back to investigate.
Chen Xi turned his head and tried to get back to the shore, giving way to the guide lights to summon the extradition boat again.
It was also by turning his head that Chen Xi happened to see a vaguely dead body of a woman in a red skirt a hundred meters away.
She had no head, blood was gushing from her neck, and her skirt was stained red with her blood.
Holding her head in her hands, the female ghost silently sat on the paper boat on the shore, placed her head on the bow of the paper boat, and pushed the boat with her body, shaking the waves gently.
Hush.
The paper boat carried the female ghost to the middle of the river, where the fog was extremely hazy.
