Chapter 770: A Voice from Another World
Su Xin's quiet and gentle voice and stable expression gave Wenxiu great encouragement and motivation, and she decided to confess what was buried in her heart.
Wen Xiu held the teacup and drank two sips of tea, the slightly bitter but sweet aftertaste, the dry throat was moisturized, cleared his throat slightly, and then began to speak.
"Actually, when I was a child, I could hear a lot of sounds, not ordinary people talking or insects chirping, birds chirping, car horns and so on, but, that, I mean... Voices that don't belong in our world. But I don't feel as scared of these things as other people think they are different, but I have a special interest in things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, so I deliberately try to understand the meaning of those voices. ”
"I remember one time, I was young, maybe seven or eight years old. My father was doing geological exploration and rarely went home, but it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when I finally came home, he took me and my mother to the playground together. We were all very happy and sold me marshmallows, rock sugar gourds and the like, and played a lot of projects in it. Then Dad took us to the pirate ship again, and all I remember was that there was a dark passage up there, and I was held in my mother's arms. We were all very excited, but I heard a lot of noises around me, in addition to the screams of other tourists, as if they were ringing in my ears out of thin air, and I subconsciously wanted to hear what they said, and then those voices entered my head. ”
"I still remember those voices saying, 'The tower is still bad...... 'How bad?' "About twenty or so" "Alas, the time is almost up" "There are no markers, you all go and pester, be sure to let the markers get more people over'"
"I don't know what I thought at the time, but I remembered the tower, and after I got off the pirate ship, I sent my parents to take me to the tower. It is actually a 100-meter-high iron tower, with a platform on it, an elevator that goes straight up and down, transporting tourists up, and on the platform, you can see almost the entire city. Well, at that time, the tallest building in M City was only more than 20 floors. So in fact, there are still a lot of people who go to the tower every day. ”
My parents agreed to my proposal without any hesitation, and we lined up to get on the elevator, and there were about a dozen people inside, all very excited. But I felt like the elevator was getting darker and darker as I went up, like I had re-entered the swarthy passage of the previous pirate ship. The voices rang out again, and this time, I was inexplicably scared. ”
"I heard those voices saying, 'Sixteen of them are coming, and that's enough,' 'Yes, just one more wave,' 'Boom, that's a pleasure.' The voices scared me like I had never felt before, and I counted the people in the elevator, sixteen, and I always felt that those voices were talking about us. said that there will be another wave, that is, another wave of elevators will be raised...... But what do they mean when they've said enough? I just instinctively felt that it was definitely not a good thing. ”
Su Xin said at the right time: "So you told them this?" ”
Wen Xiu thought that her appearance just now must be a little scary.
The other party's soft voice just pulled her out of that dark memory, Wen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, drank water, and responded, "Yes, I told them." ”
"When we got to the top floor, I said it. Let them go down now, and all of them go down. But I was only a few years old at the time, and everyone was so excited that no one paid any attention to me. Besides, they had just gone up and had not yet enjoyed the scenery...... So they're probably annoyed by my arguments, so they use that... He looked at me with disgust and pity, and then said to my parents, 'This is the first time you've been to the Tower, right?' ''This is a public place, and it's not good to affect others'' words are full of reproach. My parents were very sorry, and apologized to them again and again, saying that children are not sensible, please bear with me. ”
"I heard the voice in my ear urging again, 'Go down, go down and pick up people, haha'" Jie Ji, it's finally here, this time I must return with a full load" "It's just ......'." I became more frightened and anxious. I directly dragged my parents' hands and hung them in the elevator to prevent them from getting out. There is only one elevator to get up and down, and only those who go up can take the elevator down if they put down all the people who need to come down. In the end, the staff also came to persuade them. Many people watched and blamed my parents, saying that I was ignorant and did not discipline me well. But all I had in my ears was those voices. They seemed to notice me and said, 'Why is this kid so troublesome?' ''Whatever, it's not going to hurt her.'' ”
"In the end, I left my parents in the elevator, and as soon as I got down, the ground shook. It turned out to be an earthquake. I was carried by my father and ran into the open area, but my eyes were fixed on the tall tower, and then I watched it start to shake violently, and many people fell from the platform above, and let out a scream, and..."
"I later learned that the earthquake was only a magnitude four, and only a slight tremor was felt in the rest of the place. But the tower broke in that shake, and no one on it survived. The investigation revealed that the tower was caused by the use of substandard bolts. ”
Su Xin sighed very much in her heart, it is not easy for a little girl who is only eight or nine years old to make an accurate judgment in such a situation.
Subconsciously asked: "What about your parents now?" Are you still alive? ”
Wen Xiu's nose was sour, her eyes were tearful, and she shook her head.
"Since then, first reporters have asked, and then all kinds of people in the name of magazines have come to me to ask questions, and they have stared at me with that kind of curious and even gloating eyes. And then again and again asked me why I had to let everyone go down that time, did I hear something or see something? I felt that their voices were more terrifying than the one that came to my head for no apparent reason. I could tell that my parents were obviously worried about me, and then my parents moved to the countryside. But when I was 12 years old, it was the Spring Festival, and our family went to the town to watch the dragon dance, which was very lively, and then I heard those strange sounds again, and I said in my ear, 'This way, this way', 'Okay, right away', I always felt that something bad was going to happen, so I took my parents' hands and wanted to leave, but ......"
Wen Xiu's tears rolled down like beads with broken threads, and her voice was choked, and she couldn't cry.
Su Xin pushed the paper in front of her, soothing the other party's sadness at the moment with a silent action.
