Infernal journey

"Class dismissed!" "Thank you, teacher!" As soon as the bell rang, the classroom, packed with more than fifty people, became empty in an instant. The middle-aged, topless history teacher on the podium left in a hurry, clutching his textbook, while the students at the bottom scrambled to the cafeteria to get their meals or were busy going home. "Bao Lian, I haven't seen your sister pick you up lately, huh?" White T-shirt, printed with the will of fire of a certain hot-blooded manga, the boy with a big smile on his face, a slap to wake up the trance Bao Lian. So, school is over. The black-framed glasses of the bag practice, a pair of silent eyes black to the surrounding light to suck in, underneath is a blackened ebony color. For nearly a week, Bao Lian could not sleep. The scene when he first met Li Ru, a girl with a twisted braid, half a head taller than he was as a child, a pair of large eyes shining with the curiosity of a newborn calf. He had never met his real parents, and it was Li Ru's parents who took him out of the orphanage. "In the future, I'll cover you." ...... "Hey!" Bao Lian came back to his senses again and said somewhat weakly to this ever-joyful-looking tablemate, "Gu Weiyang, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I won't go to the afternoon class, please ask for a leave for me." Xiao Weiyang was thinking, looked up and saw the empty seat, and the gray shoulder bag in the desk. "This guy, the bag forgot to bring!" Xiao Weiyang looked like she couldn't stand it, but she casually carried the bag in her hand, ready to send the bag to the bag practice after school in the afternoon. The third floor is the home of Bao Lian. Bao Lian's adoptive parents were workers in a state-run factory in the last century, and the building was uniformly assigned by the factory. Because of the age and aging of the facilities, all those who were in a position to do so found a way to move out, leaving very few people. Going home, which used to be the thing that Bao Lian looked forward to most every day, but now brings him only a sense of unreal cutting, as well as endless fear. "I'm back." Bao Lian said softly. "Baozi, come back. Put your school bag away and come help, I bought your favorite roast chicken today." On the couch, the slightly blessed middle-aged man wearing presbyopic glasses glanced obliquely at the newspaper, trying to read the words on it clearly. A large and a small two women not too big kitchen busy, the hood humming, the aroma of rice of the house permeated. Braised pork ribs, clear * sea bass, hot and sour eggplant ...... Bao Lian's eyes unconsciously stop in the kitchen, especially his sister Li makeup. Those eyes that seemed to shine with a bit of starlight now looked to him like the evil puppet of a budding mind, hollow and with a sneer. Without a word, Bao Lian walked into his room and locked the door behind him, the only way he could really breathe through it. "Mom, has Baozi been in a bad mood lately? It's been like this for days?" "Is someone at school bullying him?" "I think Baozi is out of love." "Kids, what's the point of talking about lost love at such a young age?" ...... The trivial words leaked into the tightly closed room door. The secret buried inside Bao Lian almost rose up his chest. Turning on the incandescent lamp on the table, Bao Lian's breathing gradually became smooth, and the warm yellow light seemed to dispel a little chill. The bag of practice skillfully reached under the table to explore, until he touched the hard cover, his expression slightly relaxed. It was a 15*22 size notebook, a gift from Lee Makeup when he was twelve years old, and Bao Lian had been using it as a diary to record things he thought were important. Monday, May 23rd My sister found a job in a very famous advertising company in Mu city, and she just joined the company with 20,000 yuan a month. My aunts and uncles say that my sister will have a great future, and they will both be able to enjoy their happiness in the future. Seeing the way my sister read the text messages, this job should be very good, right? But is it bad to stay in Tingcheng? The first thing you should do is to get a good idea of what you want to do. I feel a little stuffy in my chest, I can't breathe, is this sad? Friday, May 27th On June 15, my sister is going to Mu Cheng. I actually don't want her to go, but I know it's not right. My sister seemed to see that I was a little sad and came to pick me up from school today. I really don't like having contact with others, the sweat is sticky and always has a disgusting feeling. When my sister took my hand, I wanted to refuse and tell her that I was not a child anymore. But looking at her gentle face, I was at a loss for words. Saturday, May 28 Out of control! Blood! It's all blood!!! I shouldn't have gone to the city amusement park with my sister. I swear I didn't mean to do it, I didn't think the Ferris wheel would fall down. In that moment, I heard the crowd screaming, I looked up and saw a shadow, and I was too scared to move. My sister ...... she can throw away the useless me, like me a waste, only should die in the amusement park. Uncle and aunt came, I thought they would scold me, blame me for not protecting my sister, or ask me why it was not me who died, but they did not, they also advised me not to be sad. I could never forgive myself, after all, I was an incompetent coward! A coward! Coward! Coward ！！！！！！！ Sunday, May 29th Sister, it's good to be back, but I'm not happy at all. I fell asleep in the hospital yesterday, and the next day I saw my sister again. Not the kind from a zombie movie, but a living, breathing person. Why is that, exactly? She said I had a fever yesterday, and she kept watch all night long, so she could see me wake up. My aunt and uncle brought me chicken soup and instructed me to take care of my body in addition to studying. The whole thing was weird, did I dream it? But everything with my memory sorry to come, I called and asked Gu Weiyang, he said I went back on Friday by myself. There was some kind of unknown error in my memory. Monday, May 30 The amusement park does not exist? To verify my memory, I made a special trip to the playground where my sister had her accident, but it turned out to be a mall I had never seen before. I asked people about it and they all said it was always a mall. Is this the devil's joke on me? How could the playground that my aunt and uncle used to take me and my sister to whenever I had time as a child not exist? What is going on with my unbelievably real memories? The diary only goes so far, and Bao Lian tries to continue writing with a pen, but whenever he tries to write "someone has altered everyone's memories", "my sister is an impostor", etc. on the paper, within three seconds, the ink reverts as if it had never been written. The ink will return as if it had never been written. The situation became more and more unpleasant for Bao Lian, who tried to recall the scenes of his family's playground as a child, which had turned into a strange shopping mall. Only by looking at the contents of his diary every day could he realize this suffocating incongruity. If this continues, one day he will forget all memories of his sister. Bao Lian's eyes were red and he made a sound like a whimper with his hands over his mouth. Can't be discovered by her. After Bao Lian perceived the truth, the impostor kept finding excuses to spy on him. It took almost five days of acting for Bao Lian to get her to let down her guard. What was her purpose? Where did the real sister go? One question after another loomed over Bao Lian's mind like a cloud. Before he could think about it, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. "Baozi, if you don't come out to eat, I'll eat up all your roast goose." She said in imitation of her sister, half threatening. Bao Lian clenched his fist, and a deep tide of powerlessness came over him. He gathered his mood and pretended to be calm as he responded, "Coming." At the dinner table, Bao Lian revealed his horse's foot, and when her hand touched his arm, he stirred up a large goose bumps. Her eyes also became naked, and Bao Lian felt like he was running naked in the snow. A deep suspicion rose in Bao Lian's heart that she must have had another plan to live in her sister's place. But the aunt and uncle still think she is the sister, she may cause danger to the aunt and uncle. He had already lost his sister, and could not let his aunt and uncle be hurt again. A crazy idea surged in Bao Lian's mind. When Li makeup died tragically in front of Bao Lian, something inside him had broken. But to the Bao Lian at this time, it was no longer important. "Gu Weiyang, where are you going?" "Mom, I'm going to my classmate's house." In the afternoon, Bao Lian did not attend class and did not ask for leave, so Gu Weiyang was a little worried. Bao Lian's recent state was really reassuring. So after school just returned home, he put down his school bag and ran out. "Boss, how do you sell peaches?" "Six dollars a catty, twenty-five dollars for six catties." The vendor nimbly handed the weighed peaches to the last customer. "Come two catties." Gu Weiyang often heard his mother naggingly said, to go to people's homes as guests can not be empty-handed. He thought, Bao Lian has not long recovered from his illness, he brought some peaches to visit his classmates at home. At this time, only he and the impostor were left in Bao Lian's house. Uncle and aunt were tricked by his lies to go to the movies, and the table was set with the snacks he bought outside. She topped her sister's face and laughed so hard that Bao Lian's stomach cramped. "Baozi, is it a trouble? Why suddenly remember to buy snacks to honor me." "I bought it on the way, you try it." Bao Lian returned a false smile. She slowly and methodically opened the milk candy and threw it into her mouth, as if to taunt Bao Lian - you put poison in the candy is useless to me. The company is not concerned, he did not put poison in the sugar. He did not expect the poison to kill her at all. One is that the poison is not so good, the second is that the poison may not be effective for her. The package practice did not go to school in the afternoon, went to the outdoor equipment store, bought a field saber, the blade was polished by him to be extra sharp, for this reason, his left hand more than a few wounds. "Sister, let me press your shoulder." "Sure." She acted delighted and exposed her back to Baolian in a big way, as if she had no defenses. Die, impostor! Bao Lian's eyes were full of madness, and the snow-white blade plunged into her back from top to bottom. Bao Lian originally aimed at her neck, but the knife fell on her back. He was happy to be able to kill the person impersonating his sister, the suspect who killed her. The local sound shattered all of Bao Lian's illusions, and his ears were buzzing. She unconcernedly moved her neck and asked with a million ironies, "Baozi, why not press ah?" The words instantly ignited the rage of the pack practice for days on end, and he stabbed the impostor's neck with the broken blade, desperately, with only the constant sound of metal clanging indicating that it was a genuine murder weapon. She turned around, and with a chilling smile, she grabbed Baolian by the throat with one hand. "The only way to kill a disobedient brother is to kill him." Pao Lian desperate, from the beginning of his calculations of this adventurous goods, has stored the will of death. "Kill ...... kill you ......" Pao practiced hard to squeeze out these words from his throat, and soon lost his voice. ...... "Well? Why should I buy peaches?" Gu Weiyang scratched the back of his head and looked at the peach in his hand. Passing by the building where Bao Lian was, a vague sense of familiarity was thrown into the back of his mind.
