Chapter 10
Chapter 10
The university city at night is deathly quiet, especially after the dormitory buildings turned off the lights, the whole area fell into absolute darkness, only a few teachers' apartments were still lit with dim lights, which looked like lonely lights in the palm of a night wandering soul from a distance, adding three Very scary.
Teng Yao shook his head restlessly, looked left and right, obviously it was too dark outside to see anything, but he just couldn't stop.
Lu Yuan kept looking at his movements from the corner of his eye, and now he was a little dizzy, and wanted to press his head to calm him down.
Teng Yao didn't pay attention to Lu Yuan's psychological activities, he was shocked by the desolation of the western suburbs.
"The old professor is courageous enough. There is not even a street light here. Why does he insist on running at night? Isn't it good to run in the morning?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the watch on his wrist: "During the time he was running at night, the lights of all schools were not turned off, and it will be much brighter here."
"Even if the University City is bright, the road where he disappeared is still dark." Not only is there no surveillance, there are no street lights on that road, and he observed it clearly during the day.
Lu Yuan reminded: "Don't forget the natural light. This place is far away from the urban area, and the environment is very good. On a clear night, just the stars and the moon are enough to illuminate."
Teng Yao forgot to glance out of the window. Tonight's night sky in the suburbs of West City is like ink, let alone stars and moons, he can't even see a decent cloud. If he is not sure that he is in the car and the car is driving on the road, he will think that he It was locked in a completely airtight box.
Lu Yuan calmly reminded: "The weather was good a few days ago, and it won't be so dark at night."
Tengyao muttered: "The weather forecast also said that the weather will be fine tonight, so you still can't see anything."
Lu Yuan looked ahead and pretended not to hear.
More than ten meters behind the car, the starlight sprinkled down everywhere, paving the university town with a peaceful and bright color.Suddenly, the clear night sky darkened, and with the howling wind, the rain fell again.
"No way," Tengyao groaned, "Is the weather forecast backwards? Even if it's cloudy, it's still raining?"
Lu Yuan was very indifferent: "I have an umbrella in the car."
Teng Yao raised his thumb: "Brother Lu, plan ahead, bull!"
The car ran twice on the road where the old professor disappeared, but found nothing. Finally, the car stopped at the monitoring station at the exit. Lu Yuan found a foldable flowered umbrella for Teng Yao, and he himself was holding the plastic black umbrella. People walk back along the road.
Teng Yao sighed: "After the rain, there is a little light. I'm really afraid that it will be as dark as before, and we will go into the ditch again."
Lu Yuan chuckled: "There are mountains on both sides of the road, so where is the ditch?"
Teng Yao sighed: "Yes, there is not even a ditch, where can the old professor go?"
The two of them walked forward in the rain in silence, and walked to the monitoring position here and then turned back. It was ten kilometers to go back and forth.
Teng Yao felt embarrassed: "Brother Lu and I were asked to walk such a long way on a rainy day, how about this, no matter whether I can find someone or not, I will treat you to dinner tomorrow, and we can eat wherever Brother Lu wants to eat. "
Lu Yuan shook his head: "You should have a good rest tomorrow, the temperature is a bit low tonight, don't catch a cold."
"Brother Lu underestimates me too much," Teng Yao showed off his biceps, "How can a person like me who keeps fit all the time get sick so easily..." Before finishing speaking, he sneezed .
Lu Yuan felt a little helpless: "Go faster, I have ginger tea in the car."
Teng Yao's flattery followed closely: "My brother Lu is far-sighted, Liuliu, choo, choo."
Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, and walked faster.
When there was still about one kilometer away from the car, Lu Yuan frowned, and then, the unique call of beep sounded on the empty road.
Teng Yao's heart instantly rose to his throat: "Don't Dudu meet a bad guy?"
Before Lu Yuan could say "no", Teng Yao had already sprinted a long distance at a speed of [-] meters. He was afraid of going for a ride with the umbrella, so Teng Yao simply put the umbrella away and ran towards the car at full speed.When he got close, he saw a long black shadow on the roof of the car, which was Dudu. Besides, there was not even a ghost around the car.
Tengyao heaved a sigh of relief, only then did he feel the discomfort caused by being drenched all over his body, he took two quick steps to the side of the car, knocked on the hood, and said angrily, "No one is there, no ghost, what's your name? "
Dudu didn't talk back rarely, and it didn't even give Teng Yao a look.Teng Yao followed its line of sight curiously, and his whole body became cold for a moment - the road that was going straight had a fork in the road, just ten meters ahead.
Teng Yao rubbed his eyes, the forked road did not disappear, this was not his hallucination.
Lu Yuan, who did not know when to follow, had a dark expression on his face, and he ordered in a low voice: "Everyone get in the car, let's go over and have a look."
The car slowly turned to a fork in the road, Teng Yao grabbed the handle tightly, with a nervous expression, he didn't even bother to pick up the towel that Lu Yuan handed over.
Lu Yuan was a little surprised: "Scared?" People who can chat with swollen heads shouldn't be so timid.
Teng Yao swallowed nervously: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that this road is a blindfold, and it's actually a cliff or something." Encountering ghosts is nothing, but a car overturn is terrible.
Lu Yuan stuffed the towel into his arms: "You think too much, this road really exists."
Dudu yelled twice in coordination, as if to support Lu Yuan's words.
Teng Yao patted his chest, picked up the towel and wiped himself carelessly.
Lu Yuan handed him another thermos, which contained steaming ginger soup.
Teng Yao drank two cups of caps in a row before his beating heart calmed down and his cold body warmed up.He lowered the car window and looked out carefully. At first glance, the road was no different from an ordinary road, but its slight upward arc and winding direction indicated that it was probably a winding road.
"Brother Lu, this road can't lead to the underworld, right?" Teng Yao said this with some teasing, even if it was really the way to the underworld, he didn't seem afraid.
Lu Yuan glanced at the navigation, the navigation screen has been black since he turned this road, and he didn't even turn off his watch, as if they accidentally broke into a different dimension, and the connection with the real world was completely cut off.Lu Yuan didn't know where this road led, but he was sure that the end of this road would not be the world that Teng Yao talked about.
The road is very long, as if it has no end, Lu Yuan has always maintained a moderate speed, the road conditions are unknown, this time he is really afraid that if he is careless, he will dig into a ditch.
Turning another corner, two clusters of bright lights suddenly came from ahead, Teng Yao raised his hand to cover his eyes, and looked intently at the source of the light.It turned out to be a car, a white van, which was driving down the winding mountain road, and its speed was not much faster than theirs.
"There are other cars here," Tengyao tensed up, "Could it be other cars that accidentally turned the wrong way?"
Lu Yuan pursed his lips and fixed his eyes on the approaching van. At the moment when the two vehicles crossed, he could clearly see the situation inside the vehicle through the completely black window opposite. - There is no one in the driver's seat.
The van roared away, Lu Yuan turned the steering wheel abruptly, and followed closely.
Teng Yao subconsciously grasped the handle, and the sudden acceleration of Lu Yuan gave him a sense of terror of a road killer. There was no expression on that always indifferent face, but he still noticed the deep eyes in the rearview mirror. Flickering cold light.
Teng Yao had a realization in his heart: something was wrong with that car.
The drag racing in the movie is very exciting, but the drag racing on this weird winding mountain road is very disappointing, especially when the road is pitch black and the effect of the headlights is almost zero, the speeding car seems to fly out of the road at any time , Teng Yao has no other hope but to fasten the handle and fasten the seat belt.
However, the soaring heart rate did not affect his brain's thinking. He found that no matter how fast Lu Yuan drove the car, the van always kept a close distance from them.Lu Yuan's car is a famous brand car, will it not even catch up with a van?Excluding modification, which is reasonable but unlikely to appear on that van, there are only options that go against science.
"Brother Lu, the road has become flat," Tengyao turned his head, and the two forked roads merged into one in his vision, "That road disappeared."
"That car also disappeared." Lu Yuan stepped on the brakes, and looked at the time, it was almost dawn.And their car was parked near the surveillance on the side of the University City.
"I'll take you home first," Lu Yuan returned to his usual peaceful state, and he said to Tengyao, "We'll come back tomorrow night."
Teng Yao rubbed the neck that accidentally slipped when he braked suddenly: "Success, Brother Lu, please remember to take me with you."
Lu Yuan smiled: "Definitely."
Seeing him laugh, Teng Yao also laughed for no reason.
The sky lights up at the end of the road, warm and clear, just like two people smiling at each other in the car.
Its daybreak.
