BXBX NOVEL Chapter 115 – Strange Alley
Chapter 115 - Strange Alley
The structures in the alley were very old and the style was quite strange. They seemed both like ancient Chinese structures but also seemed to be of the European style.
There was not a single person in the old alley, making it seem quite gloomy and desolate.
Chen Heng had not thought much of it before, but now, Chen Heng found this alley very strange.
Putting aside the strangeness of its location, its structures were also strange.
And what Liu Qimei had said…
Empty land…
Chen Heng thought to himself and he smiled as he said, “That’s right, it’s just an empty plot of land. Speaking of which, it’s quite strange for there to be an empty plot of land here. Should we take a look?” He asked as he looked at Liu Qimei.
“Alright.” Liu Qimei looked at Chen Heng and did not refuse.
She felt much respect towards this Junior Apprentice Brother of hers and had a favourable impression of him.
Since this was not a big deal, she naturally did not refuse this Junior Apprentice Brother of hers.
They got out of the car and slowly walked forwards.
On the way, he casually asked some passersby what they saw, but what surprised him was that no matter who he asked, their answers were the same.
To them, it was just an empty plot of land, not a small alley.
Just what was going on?
Chen Heng inwardly frowned, quickly thinking to himself.
Soon, they came before the small alley.
Chen Heng watched Liu Qimei walk forwards, and saw that she was about to walk into a wall.
He instinctively wanted to stop her, but he held himself back and wanted to see how she reacted.
As he watched on, Liu Qimei slowly walked forwards, slowly coming into contact with the wall.
However, a confusing scene unfolded.
The moment that Liu Qimei came into contact with the wall, the wall became illusory and allowed Liu Qimei to pass through.
This process was incredibly natural, as if that wall did not exist.
During this time, Chen Heng also watched Liu Qimei’s expression.
Her expression was completely normal, and there were no abnormalities.
From how it seemed, she really did not see anything and was not merely pretending.
Just what was going on?
Looking at the wall in front of him, Chen Heng testingly stretched out his hand.
A corporeal feeling could be felt through his hand.
He could clearly sense what he was touching; it felt just like a real wall.
At that moment, Chen Heng’s heart trembled.
“Junior Apprentice Brother Chen, aren’t you going to come over?” Liu Qimei’s voice sounded out from ahead.
Liu Qimei and the others had already walked in and were calling out to Chen Heng.
Chen Heng instinctively looked up and was once again stunned.
Ahead, Liu Qimei and the others were standing there, but they looked different.
Liu Qimei’s face was covered with wounds, and as she stood there and waved her hand at Chen Heng with a smile on her face, he could see that her eyes were filled with blood.
Beside her, the others were the same—their bodies were covered with wounds and blood, making them look like corpses.
Their faces were dark but they were smiling, making them look quite terrifying.
Even though Chen Heng’s mind was quite strong, his footsteps faltered as he stared.
In the distance, eerie singing sounded out.
“Wandering ghosts who died long ago, why are you roaming… my lost heart, when will you return…”
“My beloved, when will you return… I am lingering in dreams, waiting for you…”
It was a girl’s voice, and it sounded both like the beautiful voice of a star, as well as a mournful cry.
The singing was quite loud and brought with it a trace of coldness, causing Chen Heng’s hairs to stand on end.
The singing was accompanied by a haziness that lingered in the surrounding air.
Liu Qimei and the others were still smiling, and their smiles looked even more terrifying.
“Junior Apprentice Brother Chen, you’re not going to come over?” the cold voice continued to sound out.
Chen Heng came back to his senses, his back covered with cold sweat.
However, looking at Liu Qimei ahead, he only smiled and said, “No, I don’t think I will.
“Senior Apprentice Sister, it’s nearly time; shouldn’t we be leaving?”
Following this, without waiting for Liu Qimei and the others to reply, Chen Heng directly turned and left.
After he left, within the small alley, Liu Qimei and the others coldly laughed before following behind him.
After walking out of the small alley with Chen Heng, they went through changes again.
Chen Heng once again turned back and saw that Liu Qimei and the others had gone back to their original appearances.
However, Chen Heng did not know if it was just an illusion, but Liu Qimei seemed to still have a faint image of what she looked like before, making him feel quite surprised.
………
“Why did you want to leave so quickly?” Liu Qimei felt quite confused.
“It’s nothing.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Heng smiled, “We should be leaving.”
“Alright.”
Hearing this, Liu Qimei did not say anything else and nodded.
Following this, they quickly left.
…
That night, as night fell, Chen Heng once again came to that place.
Ahead, the small alley was still there.
It was just that for some reason, Chen Heng felt that the small alley had become a bit bigger, as if it was expanding.
Am I seeing things? No, I don’t think I am.
Chen Heng felt quite wary as he thought to himself.
He decided to err on the side of caution when approaching this mysterious scene.
It was better to expect and prepare for the worst.
An expanding alley and the scene during the day…
All kinds of thoughts appeared in Chen Heng’s mind.
In the end, he frowned and decided to do an experiment.
Chen Heng turned and left, and he came back after a while.
When he came back, he had two drunks with him.
Following this, he slowly walked forwards towards the small alley. When he reached that boundary point, he lightly pushed the two drunks forwards.
The drunks staggered forwards a few steps before falling down.
Following this, as Chen Heng watched on, their appearances quickly changed.
Bloodied traces appeared on their faces, accompanied by many wounds.
Blood spilled out from the wounds, and bone could be seen through some of them.
After the changes, the two people looked like corpses, looking incredibly terrifying and creepy.
Looking at them like this, Chen Heng frowned, thinking to himself.
What had happened during the daytime had happened to these two people as well.
However, Chen Heng did not know what would happen to him if he went in. Perhaps the same thing would happen, and perhaps it would not.
After all, he was different from them—he could see this small alley and did not just see an empty plot of land.
After doing this experiment, Chen Heng rubbed his forehead and decided to do another experiment.
He spent some money to hire some people to drag out the two drunks from the small alley.
As expected, after they went in, the same changes happened to them, but after they came out, the changes all disappeared.
