Chapter 22: Air Raid Shelter
The fat man smiled.
Instead of answering Zhou Yi's question directly, he opened a backpack on his body, took out the computer and an iron box, and opened a jammer-like thing on the dashboard.
This action made Zhou Yi full of doubts, what is this person going to do?
Zhou Yi's thoughts did not interrupt the fat man's movements. He turned on the computer and there were a few photos on it, pointing to Zhou Yi to show it.
"Where must you know this?"
As a local, Zhou Yi naturally recognized it at a glance. The photo was an air raid shelter, which was left during the war. He often went to play when he was a child, but it was later expanded into an emergency shelter, but there was still a large area and it was not developed.
"Phoenix Pool Air Raid Shelter?"
The fat man nodded and then opened a few more photos. It was obviously the inside of the air-raid shelter, but it was an undeveloped part. It was surrounded by thick iron plates, and some old boxes. Some of the open ones were canned. The Japanese words on it were very blurry.
"I found this iron box in this air raid shelter. You may not believe it. This iron box was used to hide treasures when I was a child. Whenever I grow up, I will find it and put it in some things.
But in this box, I found something that I didn’t have in my memory. What do you think is this?”
As he said that, the fat man opened the iron box and the things inside were very complicated, including wooden planes, some yellowed candy and cigarette boxes, and medals. However, there were two slightly newer envelopes inside, which were still very conspicuous.
The fat man opened the envelope directly, and there were a stack of photos inside. There were some words written on the back of the photo. When he turned over, he saw a terrible white Polo on it. His eyes fell on the remaining license plate. Zhou Yi recognized that it was his girlfriend's car at a glance.
On the back of the photo, there was a line of words written in search of witnesses. Zhou Yi trembled all over when he saw this line of words because it was his handwriting. He confirmed that he had never seen a fat man, nor had he printed such a photo. But why did his handwriting and Azhu's car photo be here?
However, the four corners of this photo are yellowed and have a severe musty smell. This is not a sense of time that can be faked. Zhou Yi looked at the fat man in front of him in confusion.
"Where did you come from this photo?"
The fat man smiled and shook his head, put his fingers on his lips, and then looked around for a week.
"It's not safe here, come with me, let's go to a safe place!"
As he said that, the fat man put his stuff on. The jammer was not put away, but was just opened in his backpack. Zhou Yi was also a little anxious when he saw the photo being put on.
Open the door and get out of the car, followed the fat man tightly, and walked towards a path next to the parking lot.
A trace was trampled on the lawn on the ground, and those who are not familiar with the terrain will definitely ignore this trace.
After walking a long way, I came to a flat place with no lights. I could only see from the general outline that there seemed to be a building below the foot of the mountain. However, the fat man didn't say anything about Zhou Yi or asked much.
At this time, the fat man in front stopped.
He waved his hand at Zhou Yi and pointed at his feet. Zhou Yi bent over and looked at him, trying to take out the phone to light the light, but the fat man stopped him, but he still had no explanation.
Zhou Yi carefully explored the way down. It turned out that there was a step here, but it was covered with moss and it was very slippery. The steps were very high. When you walked down, the fat man stopped.
After exploring for a while, I opened a huge rain cloth and heard the creaking metal sound, and then a door seemed to be opened.
Zhou Yi followed him and the fat man closed the door casually. Then he turned on the flashlight. Seeing that Zhou Yi was about to speak, he still raised his fingers to put it on his lips and shook his head.
This series of actions made Zhou Yi confused.
He just wanted to know how there were photos of Azhu's car accident on the fat man. And the photo looked like it was a year ago and it was not just taken, but it has only been more than ten hours since Azhu's accident. What's going on?
However, seeing that the fat man still waved his hand to follow him, Zhou Yi didn't talk much nonsense and walked inside. Every time he stepped on the ground, he made an echo sound. When he walked to another door, the fat man hung the flashlight around his neck and turned a spiral hand on the iron door.
The creaking sound was horrifying, but the iron door opened as well. The two entered. The fat man acted as usual and closed the door again. It seemed that he was tired of trouble. The fat man let out a long sigh.
Then the flashlight was placed on a shelf by the wall, pulled a generator, and then the entire space lit up.
Only then did Zhou Yi see clearly that they were in a very empty space, with rows of boxes on the ground, some of which were opened, some were covered with tightly slits, and rows of cans inside, just like in the photo.
Like the image shown in the previous photo, Zhou Yi looked at the fat man, pointed to the generator and said:
"Is this what you got?"
The fat man nodded.
"This is part of the Phoenix Pool Air Raid Shelter, but it is part of the undeveloped development. Few people know that, after all, my father once took care of this area. When I was a child, I often came here, and gradually I was forgotten here. I was used to hiding my secrets here.
However, in the past two years, every time I come here, some special things will appear in my box, such as the photo of the car accident. It does not belong to my memory, and I don’t know why it appears here.
I have investigated the license plates, and a new car that appeared only a month ago. I have never used it before. You said I have photos of the car accidents of these two cars, and the photos look a bit old. Isn’t it a magical thing?"
Zhou Yi did not interrupt the fat man's narrative. He had encountered many magical events today, and this incident did not shock Zhou Yi very much.
The fat man sighed and continued:
"I checked the car owner's information and of course I found you, so I began to pay close attention to the car and your news. Until this morning, when I browsed the traffic police's internal network, I found something happened to the car, and then I started looking for you.
Maybe you are shocked and incredible, but I think I have experienced the same incident several times, including you and I should have seen it because of this.
Have you seen a horror cruise ship? It’s like the plot of a horror cruise ship. As long as this matter is not finished, there will be an infinite cycle. You and I have your girlfriend, and of course Wang Shengyu, it seems that our fate is intertwined."
The fat man looked at Zhou Yi. He was not sure if Zhou Yi could understand these things, and seemed to want to see Zhou Yi's reaction.
Zhou Yi walked to a box and sat down regardless of whether it was dirty or not. He was really tired, not physically exhausted, as if everything was not under control.
"I received a call from my girlfriend's family this morning. I knew she died in a car accident. Then my car fell directly from the bridge. When I was rescued and rushed to the hospital, I saw another me."
When the fat man heard this, he immediately became energetic and hurried to Zhou Yi.
"Other you? Are you sure you look the same, there is no difference? Have you talked to him or what?"
Zhou Yi shook his head and fumbled on his body. He didn't bring cigarettes with his newly changed clothes. Instead, the fat man took out a pack of cigarettes on his body and handed Zhou Yi one, and he also lit one.
"That I, talking to Azhu's parents, and kneeled down to Azhu's parents. When I saw this scene, I had a thought in my mind, that is, to do the same thing as him, and even if I couldn't get over, I knew what they said."
The fat man widened his eyes and quickly squatted in front of Zhou Yi, with his face full of inquiry expressions, constantly urging.
"What about it later? Did you rush up?"
Zhou Yi shook his head again.
"No, a little nurse called me, because I ran out of the emergency room, she asked me to go back for examination, and when I looked up again, I disappeared and the whole yard was empty.
It seemed that it had never happened before, but only a few seconds, and even if I ran out, I wouldn't be able to do so quickly. At that time, I thought it was because of the hallucination caused by lack of oxygen."
The fat man shook his head and said firmly:
