death gap

Chapter 9 Scarlet Red
Beep, beep, beep——!
The disturbing alarm sound came from his ears, making Su Chen's head buzz. He opened his eyes and took out his phone to look at it, and found that the time was exactly seven o'clock in the morning.

So he sat up from the bed.

When I opened the article section of the previous website, I found that the blogger still hadn't replied to me. Not only that, even the series of interstitial videos made by the blogger had been blocked.

"The ban for no reason... means that the credibility of the matter has increased."

Su Chen stared at the phone screen and thought for a moment, then clicked on the article he published. At this time, there were already many replies in the comment area.

Most of them were skeptical, but there was also a netizen named Zhenhong who believed it.

This netizen believed that a certain elder of the Su family should have been in contact with the gap unintentionally and was unfortunately branded. For some reason, he was not taken away by the gap, but instead caused trouble to his descendants.

"Are you there?" Su Chen immediately sent a private message to Zhen Hongfa.

He saw that the other party also mentioned the keyword gap, and hoped to get some clues from there.

"Yes." Zhenhong obviously happened to be online and quickly replied.

"You seem to know about the gap, can you tell me about it?"

"Looking at your IP address, you should be from Ganquan Town, right?"

"Oh my god! Did you open my box?" Su Chen was shocked.

"Don't think too much, I won't open the box casually." Zhenhong typed very quickly and quickly replied in a long paragraph:
"I am a resident of Wuchang City. Ganquan Town is under the jurisdiction of Wuchang City, so we are all from the same hometown. Of course I have heard of the famous Su family curse."

"That's it." Su Chen was relieved when he heard this.

"Don't mind asking a sensitive question. I heard that the male member of the Su family will not survive. How old are you this year?"

"I made it to eighteen, and I may have entered a gap." Su Chen replied candidly.

"You made it out alive!?" When Zhenhong uttered this sentence, she also added a row of emojis showing shocked cats.

"I was lucky enough to save a life."

"Great! Then we must meet and chat!" After Zhenhong replied, she paused for a full 20 seconds before uttering the next sentence:

"I just checked the distance between my place and Ganquan Town and found that it only takes 10 minutes to drive there. How about making an appointment to meet and chat?"

"Okay." Su Chen agreed immediately:
"Do you know the century-old ginkgo tree in Ganquan Town?"

"Of course I know! I'll set off right now and arrive in half an hour. You must wait there!"

……

The century-old ginkgo tree is considered the signature attraction of Ganquan Town.

The tree is said to be at least 300 years old, and there is also a legend that it cannot be destroyed by lightning.

Therefore, the local people regard it as a god and worship it. The tree is hung with curtains dedicated by believers from all walks of life all year round. There is also an endless stream of tourists who come here to make offerings during holidays.

Suchen's residence was not far from this tree, so he set off on a bicycle.

Ten minutes later, he came to the ginkgo tree.

In early spring, the leaves of the ginkgo trees are not yet dense, and the overlapping branches leak out tiny shadows of the sun.

On the tree trunk that only two or three people can hug together, the crown of the tree is like a giant open umbrella, covering dozens of meters in radius in a cool breeze. When the wind blows, the curtains on the branches rustle.

Since today was not a holiday, no one came to make offerings. Su Chen simply parked his bicycle under the shade of a tree and leaned against the trunk to wait for someone.

Just when he was planning to wait here for 10 minutes, something unexpected happened.

The weather quickly turned from sunny to overcast in a short period of time. Thick dark clouds gathered from all directions, covering the entire sky like an airtight barrier. The accumulation became thicker and thicker. Faint thunder began to approach quickly from the distant sky. .

All of a sudden, there was a loud thunder and thunder, and a blue-white lightning flashed across the sky.

The next moment, the gust of wind whizzed towards the big raindrops.

In almost the blink of an eye, the entire world was immersed in steaming water vapor, making it so hazy that nothing could be seen clearly.Even with the cover of the tree canopy, Su Chen was still drenched in rain.

Fortunately, the heavy rain was diluted by the layers of branches and leaves, and when it came to him, only drizzle remained.

Still within the tolerable range.

"Zhenhong drove here, it should be fine."

Although he thought so, Su Chen still sent a private message to the other party and asked him if he would come back at another time.

But the other party didn't reply.

It's probably because I don't have time to look at my phone while driving.

"Wait a little longer. We can't make a pact anyway. Let's wait for the rain." Su Chen walked around in the shade of the tree, found a relatively dry place to stand, and then closed his eyes to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, the roar of the engine cylinder gradually came from the distance.

Very penetrating.

That was not the sound of a car, but the sound of a motorcycle racing at full speed.

"Where did the bombing street dog come from? Are you racing outside on a rainy day?" Su Chen was startled by the sound, opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a blurry figure as red as fire, violently parting the rain curtain, speeding towards me.

The baffle in front of the motorcycle reflects the rainwater, forming an arc-shaped water curtain, hiding the face of the rider above.

The boy could only see that the other party's clothes were as red and gorgeous as the motorcycle.

1 minutes passed.

He finally saw clearly that the rider was a tall and slender girl in leather clothing.

The one-piece leather jacket was as red and bright as the Tomahawk motorcycle she was driving. It hugged the curves and revealed her graceful figure.

Going down the two long legs, there is a pair of dark red long leather boots. The ten centimeter heels raise the arch of the foot very obviously.

He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with wavy malt-gold hair hidden under his helmet.

She wore goggles on her face, covering half of her face. Even so, her appearance was stunning enough - but because it had been washed away by the heavy rain, her face looked a little pale.

"Motorcycling on a rainy day?" The young man's eyes widened as he looked at it: "Wait a minute, Chihong said he was driving here, so he wasn't driving a motorcycle, was he?"

At this time, the motorcycle was less than 30 meters away from the ginkgo tree.

The girl smiled confidently and then slammed on the brakes.

squeak--!
With the sharp friction sound of tires and the ground, the motorcycle slid for more than 20 meters and then stopped steadily in front of Su Chen.

The distance was grasped very well, showing superb driving skills.

After stopping the motorcycle, the girl in red got off the car in a handsome manner and returned to the ground neatly:
"Iron Fist Breaks the Wind, right? I am Chi Hong!"

boom--!
However, the ground was too slippery due to the rain and fallen leaves, and the heels of the boots she wore were too high, so that one of her feet was not firmly planted, and her center of gravity was unstable and she slipped to the ground.

Kneel straight in front of the young man.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

The girl's energetic expression was frozen on her face, her fair cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of her mouth were twitching unconsciously.

"No...no gifts!" Su Chen quickly reached out to help him.
