Blood Hourglass

Chapter 43: confused

Views:

When I opened my eyes, there was darkness, maybe nothingness, so I couldn't see anything. I walked forward aimlessly. Although I didn't know where I was, why I was here, and where I was going now, my feet walked involuntarily. At this time, my mind was blank. I don't know if I'm not thinking about anything, or I can't think of anything, except walking in such confusion, towards the unknown darkness and the endless front.

I don’t know how long I walked like this, but a small bright spot suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. My heart suddenly told me softly, "Where to go! Go there!" So I quickened my steps without thinking. The bright spot became closer and closer, and also got bigger and bigger. When it became as big as me, I saw it. It was my mother who was glowing all over, but she was no longer the one I usually wore. . Instead, she was dressed like a medieval lady, with a small hat with feathers on her head, a dress that was tight at the top and loose at the skirt, and she was holding a small and exquisite feather fan in her hand. The whole person was noble and elegant.

"Mom, are you mom?" I looked at her in the light and asked loudly.

But she didn't answer anything, she just smiled so gently and kept beckoning me with one hand to come forward. As I got closer and closer to her, her whole body suddenly became brighter and brighter, so bright that I couldn't look straight at it, but I still squinted my eyes and walked forward step by step, but when I opened my eyes again When I opened my eyes, what I saw was no longer the boundless darkness, nor the luminous her, but the ancient oil painting beside the bed.

The glass on the oil painting is refracted by the sunlight with dazzling light, and the Duchess of Clovis in the painting is just like her in the dream, with the same clothes and the same gentle smile.

"Mom! Is it really you who came to my dream?" I asked softly, but no one answered me. Over the years, no matter what kind of dreams I had, I never dreamed that my mother would wave to me.

"Does she have something to say to me?" I suddenly thought.

"But now that I have woken up from the dream, where should I go to find her?" I sighed helplessly and slowly sat up from the bed. Taking advantage of the sunshine in the house, I casually observed this brother's room.

The layout of this room is surprisingly simple. The only decoration on the wall is the oil painting. There is only a large aristocratic bed in the whole room. There is a bedpost with patterns on the four corners. It seems that it should be used for binding. Apart from the curtains on three sides, there is only a small table in the corner and four wooden chairs placed around it. Moreover, the color of all these wood products is consistent, so overall, it is simple. And neat.

"So this is the room of the secret party big shot!" I couldn't help but sigh.

I was the only one in the room at this time, but it was broad daylight and the sun was so bright. It was conceivable that my brother and Sinmo must be hiding in some dark place and fast asleep!

So I jumped out of bed with a grunt, put on my clothes that were a little messy from sleeping, put on my cloak, and walked out of the room.

The lobby of the headquarters, which was very lively when I arrived, is now quiet and seems particularly empty. I walked slowly and silently through the hall because I didn't want to wake anyone. When I walked in the small town under the sun, the scene I saw was like what is often described in horror novels - a small town outside the world, with complete houses and facilities, but not a single person or dog. And apart from your own breathing, there is no other sound at all. If I hadn't known in advance that this was a vampire town, I would have thought that I had walked into a made-up illusion.

There was only one road leading outside the town, so I walked slowly along it. It felt like walking on the forest road leading to the old castle. So while admiring the surrounding scenery, I unknowingly quickened my pace, and soon I arrived in front of the virtual curtain. Looking at the airtight tree wall in front of me, I stretched out my hand to touch it, but it penetrated through.

"It seems like it's really just nothingness." I couldn't help but think so as I looked at the fingers inserted into the tree wall.

I walked through the virtual curtain created by my brother and walked along the road I came from. At this time, I was just like in the dream. Except that what I saw in front of me was not darkness, I was still so... Keep walking forward, step by step, taking steps repeatedly, looking at the endless road in front of me, I am like a puppet, without thoughts or consciousness, everything is in my mind at this time, All just confused.

I don’t know how long I walked like this, because I never bring anything with me for timing, because if the endless life is calculated by that pitifully slow timer, wouldn’t it make people feel even more unbearable? Watching the sun in the sky gradually move to the west unknowingly, and the light became dimmer and dimmer, until it turned into an orange-red ball, I walked into the crowd and walked into the store I had seen before. environment of.

Looking at the very familiar bus stop in front of me, it was where I used to take the bus every time I went to school, but now I no longer have to go there to wait for the bus.

People hurried past my eyes, just like time. I was just a bystander, watching it pass quickly or slowly without leaving a trace or sound, but I was unable to make any changes to it. But when you stop feeling quietly, you find that it actually leaves behind a lot, especially those things that are imprinted on your soul, whether it is pain or happiness, whether it is something you want to remember or something you want to remember forever. What you forget will follow you forever, until you disappear or the end of the world.

And now I am standing here facing the rush of people, just like a person facing the torrent of time, my heart is surging. Looking back on the past two years or so, many more things have happened to me than in the past ten years or so. First, I was pestered by Lisa, then I met my adoptive father Lin Youcheng, and after I went to school, I had... My classmate Xiaoya and the others, in the past few months, created Xiaojie, met the trio of hunters Xiaoyu, as well as the vampires Bourne and Sinmo, who are now my caregivers and his family, and finally I lost my adoptive father again, and I killed Xiaojie with my own hands yesterday, but I also found my half-brother because of it. The cause and effect of this is far-reaching. Let’s not talk about it for the time being. It’s just that I created Xiaojie for my adoptive father. The fact that I would kill my adoptive father and I would kill Xiaojie has always been a pain in my heart, but now when I look at the abortion in front of me, it suddenly no longer hurts. Did I see through it? I don't know, but I know that I really let go of this matter or this mistake, so now my heart won't hurt because of it. But why in my heart, the deepest pain, the biggest wound, has not healed after so many years, and it still hurts all the time

Just when I couldn't figure it out, the familiar bus arrived at the stop.

"Forget it, since you can't figure it out now, then don't think about it anymore!" I smiled to myself and walked towards the path next to the bus stop. Now I am no longer as confused as before because I already have a clear direction. (To be continued)
