At the top of the tower, lightning flashed like snakes, briefly illuminating a corner of the sky.
At the bottom of the tower, there was an independent, simple wooden house. A huge strange man happened to push open the door and walked out.
The strange man held a lamp in his left hand and a huge key ring in his right hand.
Generally speaking, only those who guarded prisons, dormitories, or rented houses with many properties would use this kind of key ring. However, the key ring in the strange person's hand only had one key hanging on it.
The entrance at the bottom of the tower was left unlocked. The strange man pushed it gently and walked in, completely unaware of Zhao Yu 'an who was not far away.
Perhaps it was because very few people came to this place, or perhaps it was because no one dared to come to this forbidden wilderness.
Zhao Yu 'an leaned against the door and waited for a while. Then, he pushed open the door nervously.
He heard the dull footsteps gradually fade away. He closed his eyes and began to review his plan in his mind.
There were thirteen floors in the tower, and the stairs were on the right. Apart from the first and top floors, there was an unlocked cell on every floor.
In the dream, the strange person seemed to have a foot problem, so he walked very slowly. It also seemed that he had been drinking for a long time, so the lantern in his hand swayed unsteadily. He had been guarding the tower alone for a long time. His hair and beard had not been cleaned for a long time, causing them to be lush and messy. They even completely covered his appearance, revealing only a pair of yellow and dry eyes and a soft rosacea nose.
The strange man would not stay on the other floors for long. Every time he went up, he would only symbolically hand a lamp to the dark and deep corridor. Perhaps it was a habit that had never happened before, but he did not even turn his head and continued to walk forward.
The top floor was the only locked prison in the tower. It was the only lock that could be opened by the key in his hand. It was the only human in the strange wasteland besides himself.
The first morning when the dream was created, Zhao Yu 'an, who had woken up, immediately remembered all the details and perfected them after repeating them several times.
For a long time after Yang Yuan's mysterious disappearance, Zhao Yu 'an had been unable to fully piece together Yang Yuan's appearance, perhaps because he was too sad and distrustful.
When the dream appeared, Yang Yuan's face became clear again. Because at the end of the strange man's journey, the blurry light finally stopped shaking. The heavy footsteps stopped and followed the strange man's gaze to the locked prison.
It was Yang Yuan. His eyes were tightly shut. Even if the strange man rudely slammed the iron bars of the prison, he would not be moved.
Yang Yuan only opened his eyes when the strange man began to speak. He shot a cold and sharp light at the strange man.
Unfortunately, the words were encrypted. No matter how hard Zhao Yu 'an tried to recall, he could only hear the chilling white noise after the phone call ended.
Zhao Yu 'an adjusted his breathing and took out his cell phone that had no signal. He didn't dare to turn on the flashlight of his cell phone and only used the weak screen light to shine on the steps below his feet.
Zhao Yu 'an tiptoed up the stairs. He had to make sure that he could not hear his footsteps with every step he took.
Fortunately, there was always thunder outside the tower. Every time there was thunder, Zhao Yu 'an would take the opportunity to climb a few more steps.
He would hide in the corridor after each floor, listening to the strange person's footsteps to confirm the distance between them, and ensure that if an accident happened, he could hide in an empty cell in the corridor to avoid the strange person's sight.
He needed to wait in the empty room on the twelfth floor, waiting for the strange person to return to the small cabin downstairs after patrolling the tower.
For people with leg injuries, going down the stairs was more painful than going up the stairs.
Zhao Yu 'an would take advantage of the difference in height and the fact that the strange man was unprepared to launch a sneak attack from behind. He would push the strange man down the stairs and wait for an opportunity to snatch the key. Then, he would use his more convenient legs to rescue Yang Yuan and deal with the strange man.
The plan worked!
Zhao Yu 'an thought that as long as he didn't make a mistake, he would definitely be able to save Yang Yuan. There was no reason for him to make a mistake.
"Why are the footsteps gone?"
Yu An was hiding in an unlocked cell on the 12th floor. His ears were pressed against the stairs. There was no thunder at the moment. The footsteps that could still be heard a second ago suddenly disappeared. Zhao Yu 'an could only hear the whimpers of ghosts and people under the natural ventilation inside the tower.
Zhao Yu 'an tried his best to block the light from the phone screen. He watched as the minutes ticked by, but he didn't hear any more movements from the " person ".
"Could he have already gone down?"
Zhao Yu 'an mustered his courage and poked his head out of the cell door. He widened his eyes and pricked up his ears, trying to see through the darkness and hear the movement of the microorganisms.
However, he could not find any traces of the strange person.
Let's find Yang Yuan first, then we can discuss the key.
Zhao Yu 'an tensed up his body and slowly moved toward the stairs.
Unfortunately, even though he had already stepped onto the stairs, he still could not hear the strange person's voice.
Fortunately, he did not hear the strange person's voice.
Zhao Yu 'an safely stepped onto the thirteenth floor. After turning left, Yang Yuan's cell was on his right!
"Thump... Thump... Dong…"
What was that? The footsteps that mysteriously disappeared not long ago echoed countless times in the dream?
The sound was getting louder. Zhao Yu 'an was sure that the strange man was going upstairs and was not far from the thirteenth floor.
This was completely different from the plan he had imagined.
Or perhaps, the dream had been misleading him? It was just like the information he got from the mysterious white smoke when he observed the driver in the taxi in the morning. The answer he got from the driver was completely different.
There might be a mysterious force that could bring him back to June 22nd, or there might be a mysterious force that could lead him to the dreamland, but it didn't allow him to completely get what he wanted. Could there be a mysterious force that could completely control the situation?
Don't think too much. The most important thing now was to find Yang Yuan!
Zhao Yu 'an didn't bother to keep his footsteps low anymore. He dashed toward the cell door, but he stumbled and broke through the cell door, falling into the cell.
No one?
Yang Yuan wasn't here, and this floor wasn't locked!
Zhao Yu 'an was completely dumbfounded.
In the cold and damp cell, there was not even a straw mat. There were a few bloody and rusted chains scattered around the corner, but none of the prisoners were restrained.
If Yang Yuan wasn't in the tower, and none of the floors were locked or locked, which door was the key in the strange man's hand going to open? What was the strange man's purpose in patrolling the tower? He could even stay far away from this desolate and uninhabited place and live in a populated place!
"Ta ka…
Zhao Yu 'an was so stunned that he ignored the strange man's footsteps. At this moment, the huge strange man was holding the lamp and desperately stretching his short neck to look at Zhao Yu' an.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Zhao Yu 'an couldn't think of a way to explain himself.
Zhao Yu 'an walked into a dead end. The front was the iron gate of the prison, and the back was a window that barely allowed flies to fly in.
The current situation was already like a knife chopping at a butcher's table, and he was the fish on the chopping block.
"Phew... Phew... Phew..."
Their breathing blended together.
"Uh, can I ask where the people who were previously imprisoned in this prison went?”
Zhao Yu 'an broke the awkward silence and tried to explain that he had come here for no reason. He didn't even know where he was.
"You're finally back!"
The strange man fell to his knees with a thud, and even his keyring fell to the side. He raised the lamp in his left hand high and let out an excited roar, his tone filled with ecstasy.
"Father! You're finally back! My father is better than my own father, the best father in the world!”
Eh?
What was going on?
Zhao Yu 'an understood every word the strange man said. It was indeed Mandarin, but why did he become his father?
This environment, this atmosphere, your appearance makes me feel quite scary. Why is it so abstract when you open your mouth?
