Chapter 122 Silence is better than sound at this time
A breeze blew through the ink-colored bamboo forest, and a touch of moist rain fell on the tender skin of the back of the neck. The cold touch made Feng Yushu tremble all over.
"It's raining." Feng Yushu took two steps back and hid under the eaves, looking at the closed door with some worry.
Unlike Ning Zhe, who has designs on the ghosts of the Yin family, the reason why she came to Yanglao Village was not because of any interests. She was simply called out by Ning Zhe to help him. That's it, it's just a free job without any pay. As for what exactly he helped... Feng Yushu himself didn't know.
Raindrops as thin as ox hair fell one after another. The pure white rain lacked recognition in the world of only black, white and gray, as if weaving a thin veil between the sky and the earth. The hazy mist dances along the direction of the wind.
Small two- and three-story Western-style buildings were built with kiln-fired green bricks. The entire village was embraced by a dense forest. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with lush greenery—now it had turned black and gray.
The environment of Yanglao Village is very beautiful, but in such an environment, Feng Yushu's heart does not feel calm, but becomes irritable for no reason.
This is the world of the inaudible 'Xi'. In an absolutely quiet environment without any sound, she can feel her heart beating in her chest and the pressurized blood Pumped from the ventricles;
She can feel it The intestinal peristalsis in the abdominal cavity, the air inhaled into the lungs rubbing against the nose, the slimy touch caused by the movement of the tongue and epiglottis when swallowing saliva... all of these are reflected in the human brain, which is the blood pressure in a short period of time. Soaring, tense mood, accompanied by intense restlessness and palpitations.
Feng Yushu's body was tense, her eyes were bloodshot, and she kept looking at the locked door in front of her. An instinctive fear overwhelmed her. This fear was not the fear of ghosts, nor the fear of ghosts. Panic in the general sense is a feeling of strangeness and discomfort coming from biological instincts.
- She's going crazy.
The human body is not a dead thing. Many organs in a normal human body are active all year round. However, many times, people themselves are not aware of these subtle activities. The earth's nature is full of ubiquitous substances. The ambient white noise covers up the subtle sounds caused by the operation of various 'parts' in the human body. Everyone with normal hearing has been in this huge environmental sound field from the moment they gained consciousness in their mother's womb, and will coexist with this ubiquitous environmental noise for decades in their future lives. .
In this absolutely silent world of "Xi", Feng Yushu, who had not been able to hear any sound for a long time, felt as if his sensory sensitivity had suddenly been amplified dozens or hundreds of times. The environmental noise suddenly returned to zero, and all the subtle movements in the body that were not felt at all appeared in the mind along the bone conduction. It was a kind of clear clarity that was enough to drive even the most determined human beings crazy.
Maybe this is why the Yin family hid their last inheritance in a place like this?
Adult humans are already on the verge of collapse after just a few minutes in the 'Xi' on the -2 level. What about the 'Yi' deeper down? , and ‘micro’...
"Ning Zhe?" Feng Yushu tried to shout into the door, but no sound came out of his open throat, and the world was still so quiet.
"Ning Zhe?" Feng Yushu shouted even louder, but she heard nothing except the vibration of her vocal cords echoing along the bones in the skull cavity.
"Ning Zhe..." Feng Yushu held her head in her hands and slowly squatted on the ground. The uneasiness coming from biological instincts was like maggots crawling in and out of her rotten heart. His spirit was extremely tense.
If a person with a slightly more violent temper were forced to this level, the next moment he would immediately go crazy and throw things around desperately, even if his hands and feet were dripping with blood, he would still try his best. Make a little noise to dispel the fear in her heart, but Feng Yushu won't do that. Being cowardly by nature, she will only die in silence instead of breaking out in silence.
“Woo, woo woo…”
Ning Zhe's judgment on her character traits was very accurate, and his uneasy emotions finally overcame his reason. Feng Yushu hugged her knees tightly and huddled up, sobbing and crying.
She felt that the omnipresent darkness was embracing her, dragging her consciousness deeper and deeper, but at this moment, Feng Yushu was almost tortured by biological instinctive fear. When she collapsed, a slender humanoid silhouette suddenly appeared in her mind. To be precise, it appeared within the perception range of the ‘Special Envoy’.
Since killing the special agent in Bishuiwan Manor, this extremely cruel but extremely simple rule seems to have become Feng Yushu’s body independent of: sight, hearing, smell, taste, Touch, this extra 'sixth sense' in addition to the conventional five senses, can directly and unconditionally perceive all shadows within a certain range.
"He turned on the light." Feeling Ning Zhe's shadow appear in the building, a long-lost sense of security suddenly melted in his heart like a ball of hot water.
But in an instant, this brief sense of security was gone, replaced by surprise and confusion.
Because not far from Ning Zhe’s shadow, the shadow of another person suddenly appeared. The slender and petite silhouette seemed to appear directly in front of Feng Yushu’s eyes, allowing her to see an underage girl standing in front of the door. Slim and graceful.
"Brother, are you back?"
Yin Lishang stood at the door of the room, with a smile blooming like a flower on his face covered with acne and moss, looking extremely happy.
A gentle smile appeared on Ning Zhe's face, but beneath the calm surface, there were already ripples in his heart.
Why is Yin Lishang here?
Why can I hear her voice?
What is all this about?
Yes, Ning Zhe knew from the beginning that Ji Taixun’s sister was a crucial role. His mother repeatedly asked him to protect her sister in her letters. From then on, Ning Zhe Knowing that Yin Lishang may be the key figure to solve the mystery of Yanglao Village... she may even be the 'puzzle' itself.
"Brother, where were you just now? I've been looking for you for a long time." Yin Lishang walked to Ning Zhe diligently and looked up at him eagerly.
The girl's soft voice appeared extremely clear and abrupt in the completely silent environment, as if someone had used photo editing software to Photoshop the Taoist whisk in the hands of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun into a glowing onion of Hatsune Miku's support. .
Seeing that his brother did not answer his question for a long time, Yin Lishang pursed his lips a little aggrievedly, and carefully asked softly: "Brother, are you angry?"
Ning Zhe After thinking about it, I walked into my grandfather's study, took out a piece of paper and pen, and wrote a paragraph behind the utility bills and pension income:
[I am mute. 】
