"Now?" He Si swallowed her saliva, "Where are you two?"

In fact, she had just arrived in Shaquan Town and didn't know the original arrangements for tonight. She wanted to get some tips from Qin Jian and Fan Yu, but they both acted like it had nothing to do with them.

"Do you have anything else to discuss?" Jun Jiuzi looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Fan Yu spoke in support: "It's okay. He Si has just arrived. He doesn't have a complete understanding of the situation. We were planning to discuss it further."

"That's okay. It's still a long way from here to the ancestral temple. The desert is especially difficult to walk at night. Let's talk as we walk."

"That's fine," Qin Jian nodded. He knew that since Jun Jiuzi was here, he couldn't leave easily. He didn't want to continue to struggle with this matter, so he said, "Let's go on the road first. We'll tell you if anything happens on the way."

He Si also figured it out at this moment. It was just a trip to the ancestral temple. It was not certain whether the village records could be found. There was no need to create complications at this moment. She nodded and said: "Yes."

"Let's go then."

The four people in the room finally reached an agreement, led by Fan Yu, who pushed open the creaking wooden door and took the lead in stepping out of the room.

As soon as he reached the sand, Fan Yu stopped. He intuitively felt that the atmosphere was not right, and subconsciously felt that something was not good.He turned back to look at Lao Chaofeng and whispered his name: "Uncle Qin."

Jun Jiuzi was naturally not so keen. The desert was as old as before, and the surroundings were empty. The outline of the sand dunes became blurry and gentle in the dimness. Even the chilling cold wind did not appear. She took two steps before saying: "So what?" Already?"

Just after he finished speaking, he found that Lao Chaofeng, who had been silent all this time, had a solemn expression, while He Si, who was standing next to him, bit her lower lip, with a look of hesitation on her face, not as if she was afraid, but as if she was tired of dragging everyone down. Guilty.

Jun Jiuzi's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, the scene of meeting a snowman at the foot of the Himalayas suddenly appeared in her mind. The scene of white snow and ice was completely unrelated to the endless yellow sand, wind, horses and cows at the moment, but it made her A chill ran down my spine, and the hairs stood on my arms.

Jun Jiuzi took two steps back and came to Fan Yu's side, feeling a little more at peace in her heart, and she finally discovered something was wrong.

Normally, every night, under the cool moonlight, the surface of the desert will show a silvery gray texture.But at this moment, the color of the desert in front of her was as intense as the morning sun, with a slight orange-red sheen.The shadows of the dunes cast onto the ground, creating a deeper darkness and giving an unsettling feeling.

on fire?

As soon as this idea appeared in Jun Jiuzi's mind, she was immediately rejected because she saw the moon tonight - it was supposed to be the time when the moon was waning, but there was a huge full moon hanging in the sky, heavy and heavy. The ground is dotted on the sand dunes not far away, and the moon is bright red.

blood moon?
Jun Jiuzi frowned. Before she had time to take a closer look at this astronomical wonder, she felt a pain in her wrist, and a huge pulling force pulled her away. Her mind was in a mess, and when she came back to her senses, she had already He returned to the house again, and the wooden door that had been pushed open was closed heavily again.

"Is that... the blood moon?" No one in the room spoke. After a long time, Jun Jiuzi asked tentatively.

"What do you think, Professor Jun?"

"The blood moon... is actually an astronomical phenomenon, a type of total lunar eclipse, which is not uncommon." Jun Jiuzi stumbled as he spoke, obviously trying to think of ways to convince himself.

"That being the case, why is Professor Jun hesitant?"

Jun Jiuzi didn't say anything, but she knew that she was not the only one who saw the moon.

"Not only was it a blood moon, it was a full moon."

Lao Chaofeng hit the nail on the head when he mentioned a scene that Jun Jiuzi really couldn't understand. She looked around the room, finally focused on Fan Yu, and asked, "Why is this happening?"

"I don't know. I always feel that this door is not right. Do you think we may have walked into the wrong plane and accidentally traveled through time?" Fan Yu said, holding the doorknob again, "How about I go out again? Try it once, maybe it will be right this time.”

After saying that, regardless of whether several people agreed or not, he put one hand on his waist and pushed the door open with the other. He glanced at the moon not far away, and quickly stepped back. He went in and out three or five times like this, and his sad eyes fell on He Si had a broken expression and sighed: "There is no other way. I can't hide it anymore. He Si, why don't you explain yourself."

"This is not an astronomical wonder, like the spring, nor is it a geological wonder."

Jun Jiuzi used declarative sentences. Her chaotic thoughts calmed down during Fan Yu's almost demonic in and out, and she understood that something beyond her own life experience had happened. In fact, she should have understood it long ago. From the spring water that has not dried up for thousands of years, suddenly When it becomes turbid and dries up overnight, she should understand that what she is facing is no longer a problem of geological changes.

Jun Jiuzi is doing geological survey research, and the places he goes to are always desolate and difficult places. He is used to seeing wind and waves, and his physical and mental qualities are excellent. Just now he saw a vision for the first time, and his mind was agitated for a while, which made him lose his usual routine. He was so free and easy, and had completely calmed down at this moment. He said to Lao Chaofeng: "It seems that the blood moon cannot be avoided. I don't know what else is planned for tonight."

"Professor Jun still wants to find Murazhi?"

Jun Jiuzi thought for a moment, smiled and nodded.

"I underestimated Professor Jun," Qin Jian said, pointing to the door, "Under the blood moon, Shaquan Village is no longer Shaquan Village."

"What's that place?"

"You can understand it as another dimension of space, similar to a person's dream or a parallel world created by unknown forces."

"So, just like in Inception, when we open the door, we enter another space?"

Lao Chaofeng didn't understand Inception, but he still nodded and said: "Based on our usual experience, there are usually dangers in dreams that will not happen in reality, but there will also be clues that will not appear in reality. "

"Then how is this space triggered?" Jun Jiuzi thought of the unexpected expressions on the three of them when they were outside the door. It was obvious that entering a different space was not part of the plan, and asked again, "Is it all about luck? "

"No," Qin Jian shook his head, "This appearance is too sudden. The bridge connecting this space and reality is He Si. This is why we need her."

"Miss He? It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance." Jun Jiuzi looked at He Si with a look of admiration. Then she realized that what she said was ambiguous, and quickly added, "I mean, Miss He looks quiet and quiet." So reserved and low-key, I really thought you came here for the ancient buildings.”

"I do study ancient architecture, but I just happen to have some weird abilities." He Si blushed at the praise, and then heard Qin Jian continue: "When you first met He Si, didn't you want to know who she was? Yes, she is my girlfriend."

At first, the voice sounded like that of an old man, but when it came to the word "girlfriend," it sounded like the voice of a young man in love. "This is……"

Jun Jiuzi stared dumbfoundedly at the immortal old Chaofeng who turned into a vigorous and handsome student. He understood that the sudden glimpse in the car today was not his imagination, and the mood that he had just calmed down became turbulent again.

This time, before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Fan Yu complaining as he walked out: "It's sour, my teeth are sore, let's make it public. It's also publically addicted. If you catch someone, you'll make it public. It will be changed tomorrow." Let’s hold a press conference.”

He took two steps forward and saw Jun Jiuzi still frozen in place. He took a step back and grabbed her hand and walked towards the red moon.

"Let's go for a walk. If there's anything interesting to see, don't worry too much."

Jun Jiuzi didn't resist or ask questions, and actually followed Fan Yu outside the house.He Si naturally heard Fan Yu's complaints, blushed so hard, and ran out of the house before Qin Jian said anything shocking again.

The blood moon seemed bigger and rounder than before, sinking darkly on the horizon. Unlike the bright moon that usually hung high in the sky, it was very close to the ground, as if it was about to fall into the sand at any time and be buried by the sea of ​​sand.

A few people walked through the narrow alley. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. He Si always felt that the sand under her feet became redder, as if the sea of ​​sand was really a vast ocean, and the red moon she saw was a reflection. The red moon His true body is buried deep in the sea of ​​sand, burning like a fire forever.She couldn't help but lean down and touch the reddish sand surface - it was cold and rough, without any warmth.

Sure enough, it is just the moon, even though it has a similar color to the sun, it cannot bring energy to all things.She was thinking about it, but before she got up, she saw Fan Yu squatting down.

"Who is that?" Fan Yu's voice was very low. Several people followed his example and ducked behind the nearest house, squatted down, and followed his gaze. Outside the earthen house not far away, a tall man appeared. The tall and thin figure was walking back and forth.

"Jiang Zi?" Jun Jiuzi recognized him first.

"It seems so," Fan Yu took a few steps forward to confirm thoroughly, "Why is he here? Is that his house, or... is this his dream?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case," He Si felt a little uneasy. The figure stood straight and made no unnecessary movements. He just kept walking back and forth, and the range of his movements did not change. "What is he doing, patrolling?"

"Besides the spring water, I haven't heard of any other places in the village that need to be patrolled," Jun Jiuzi lowered his voice, and his voice became hoarse, "and this earthen house looks ordinary, there is nothing special about it."

"Dayin is hiding in the city. You guys wait for me here. I'll go take a look first." After Fan Yu finished speaking, he nodded to Lao Chaofeng, lowered his body and walked towards Jiang Zi who was still pacing around.

Fan Yu's speed was very fast, and soon he was only about ten steps away from Jiang Zi. Although he kept bending down, this was an endless desert, and the only places where he could hide were a few mud houses. Jiang Zi If Fan turned his head, he could see Fan Yu, but he kept looking straight ahead and didn't notice Fan Yu approaching at all.

"That's not right." Fan Yu stopped, and the three people left behind naturally noticed something strange.

The night was dark and windy, and the chill was biting. It was really strange that a tall and thin figure was pacing back and forth in a deserted place, but he didn't look around like when waiting for someone, and just focused on facing forward.

In addition, there was a red moon in the sky. Even if they were not superstitious people, they still couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding in their hearts - the full moon that should have been bright and clear was splashed with blood, and even the night sky became bloody. It’s an ominous sign for anyone.

The moon changes color, green for hunger and epidemic, red for strife and war, yellow for virtue and happiness, white for drought and mourning, black for water and half-death of the people.Fan Yu thought, with the blood moon now in the sky, a war would be inevitable tonight.

Fan Yu was not afraid of fighting, but there were two women behind him. He Si had no problem protecting herself, but Professor Jun... He glanced back again, stretched out his hand and made a calm gesture, signaling a few The man didn't move, but he stood up directly, with the dagger already in his hand.

"What is he doing?" Jun Jiuzi was startled and lowered her body.

"It's okay, let him go and explore first." Qin Jian said easily, but his body was tense and he stared straight ahead without relaxing, as if he would take action at any time.

He Si didn't say anything. She knew Fan Yu's ability, but she still felt uneasy as she watched him move forward step by step.

The sand under his feet was soft and flowing. No matter how careful Fan Yu was, he still walked one foot deep and one foot shallow. The distance was different with each step, as if he was looking for a more suitable foothold.But looking at Jiang Zi, he was also walking on the sand, but his steps were the same size and the same rhythm. Each step he took was straight and stiff, not like a human being, but like a programmed machine.

She followed Jiang Zi's footsteps and looked at the sand at his feet, no!Alarm bells rang in He Si's heart.

"The color is wrong. Look at Jiang Zi's feet. Is there a red fan shape?"

"Red fan shape?" Jun Jiuzi was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes and looked forward. The sand was indeed stained with blood by the red moon, but he could not see the red fan shape in He Si's mouth. It was just in front of Jiang Zi. The sandy ground was covered by his own shadow, showing some brown color, "Are you blinded?"

"Only I can see it?" He Si blinked her eyes, and in desperation, she held Qin Jian's and Jun Jiuzi's hands at the same time.

"This is?" Jun Jiuzi first glanced at his hand in surprise, then realized what He Si meant and looked at Jiang Zi again.This time, she not only saw the red fan shape, but also saw that fan shape moving forward with Jiang Zi's steady footsteps - it was so familiar that Jun Jiuzi felt a shudder in her heart that she had not seen for a long time. She had definitely seen this before. Scenes.

At this moment, He Si also recalled the same scene. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the red moon not far away.

"Link."

"The Legend of Zelda."

"A treasure hunt that avoids sight."

"Patrol NPC."

"What?" Qin Jian also saw the red fan shape, but because the two people were confused about their codes, he lost his judgment on the situation, "What do you mean?"

Neither of them answered him. Between the responses and the exchanges, Fan Yu walked closer. Seeing that his right foot was about to touch the red line, He Si secretly said something bad, but Qin Jian had already flown out.

In desperation, He Si could only shout: "Xiaojiu, stop him!"

A black shadow cut through the bloody night sky, but Fan Yu's feet also fell.
