Lin Banxia always thought that the moment she fell into a dream was after she entered the base with Song Qingluo. But thinking about it now, they should have been infected by the dream on the train, and the sound of the continuous rain after the thunder was the signal for them to fall into the dream.
Cui Gaoyu said to Lin Banxia that "you can't tell the difference" is not wrong. Without the existence of Xiaohua, it is indeed impossible for Lin Banxia to distinguish between reality and dreams. He would think that he had come out, and naively continued to live in the first-layer dream until one day, the dream suddenly revealed its true colors-no one would be able to accept the fact that he was still in the dream.
Xiaohua is the "anchor" in the sea of dreams, stabilizing the coordinates of Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo, preventing them from falling into never-ending doubts.
This was the longest sleep Lin Banxia had ever slept in, but looking at the time now, only five hours have passed. Thinking about it carefully, in the heavy rain that lasted for so many days, I don't know what exactly Cui Gaoyu experienced. What kind of torture is the final choice to compromise.
Thinking of Cui Gaoyu, Lin Banxia couldn't help but look at Song Qingluo and ask him how is Cui Gaoyu now
Song Qingluo lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'll make a call first." He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. However, although the call was connected, no one answered. Song Qingluo called four or five times, but still no one answered. In the end, he chose to give up and dial another number.
"Hello." Li Su's tired voice came from the other end of the phone. His voice was hoarse and sounded uninspired.
Song Qingluo asked, "Where are the people from Bai Luze's side?"
Li Su said, "...Am I really awake?"
Song Qingluo said, "Wake up."
Li Su said nothing.
Song Qingluo knew that this was the sequelae of the dream, and it was difficult for everyone to get rid of it, so they could only see themselves working hard to get rid of this emotion. Li Su didn't speak for a long time, and Lin Banxia almost thought he fell asleep again, only to hear a murmur-like whisper from the other end, he said, "Li Ye is not dead?"
Song Qingluo said calmly, "It shouldn't be."
Li Su said: "Okay, I'll go to Bai Luze's place to see." Then there was the sound of rustling on clothes, "I'll call you later."
Song Qingluo said yes.
Lin Banxia turned her head and looked out the window, and saw that the pouring rain had stopped, the sky was clear, and a bright moon was faintly showing a corner behind the dark clouds, but it didn't have the icy unreal feeling in the dream, on the contrary, it made Lin Banxia Xia felt calm.
Although there is still a lot to deal with, at least they have come out.
In the second half of the night, neither of them slept, Song Qingluo was waiting for Li Su to reply, while Lin Banxia hugged Xiaohua and curled up on the chair to rest. The two leaned together tacitly, and between half-sleep and half-awake, dawn came.
With a loud sound of steam, the train slowly entered the terminal platform.
Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo got out of the car with their luggage. When they got out of the car, Lin Banxia always felt that the picture was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had experienced it once in a dream. Only that time, Bai Luze picked them up at the station, but this time, it was Li Su and Li Ye who picked them up.
Li Ye drove while Li Su sat in the co-pilot, still fully armed. When Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo got into the car, he pulled off the mask he was wearing and stuffed a cigarette into his mouth. He nodded towards the two of them as a greeting.
Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo sat in the back seat and watched the car drive out of the platform. No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the car was a little stagnant.
"Bai Luze's side is not very good." In the end, Li Su spoke first. He lowered the car window halfway and exhaled at the outside. "Cui Gaoyu's situation is not very good." He said, "What are you guys doing? When did you come in?" He was referring to entering a dream.
Song Qingluo raised her hand to look at her watch: "Ten hours ago."
Li Su pinched the corners of his eyes, feeling a little irritable. He said, "What the hell is going on?" He also has memories in dreams now, those memories in high school, and the experience of working with Song Qingluo. But at the back, the dream was completely out of control. He dreamed that he woke up in the base with countless corpses next to him, and then the staff came over and told him that among the hundreds of people, he was the only one who survived, and Song Qingluo died. Lin Banxia died, and so did Li Ye.
Li Su collapsed on the spot. Only then did he realize that people were so sad that they couldn't cry. He was shaking while holding Li Ye's body, and he kept telling himself that it was just a dream. Because of his illness, Li Su was squeamish since he was a child, and he was almost spoiled by his family. Even if something happened later, he rarely suffered. He was actually quite afraid of pain, but he was so afraid of pain, but after learning that Li Ye was dead, he took out a dagger and chopped off a few of his fingers.
However, this did not make Li Su wake up.
"The heresy has been sealed by me." Song Qingluo's voice floated over, recalling Li Su's gradually disintegrating rationality. He suddenly returned to his senses, only to find that the cigarette butt was about to burn to his fingers, and the burning pain It came from his skin, and he paused deliberately, letting his fingers touch the spark, and then pretended to inadvertently put out the cigarette butt.
"Then what?" Li Su turned his head and asked, pretending nothing happened, "What happened to Cui Gaoyu?"
"Cui Gaoyu has become 47777's companion." Song Qingluo said, "It was never sealed before, so people who wake up have no memory in their dreams at all. Cui Gaoyu uses his own memory as nutrients to supply its growth."
This is a long story, Song Qingluo deliberately skipped the existence of Xiaohua, and just said that she sealed up her dream and Cui Gaoyu with her body, so they would wake up with their memories.
After listening, Li Su said: "Cui Gaoyu is not dead, but his mental state is very poor. If he must say it, he seems stupid."
Song Qingluo was not surprised, and said lightly, "It was expected."
"A few of the recorders who were with us died." Li Su continued, "It's Qin Xu, Jiang Xin and the others in the dream... Do you still remember?"
Of course Lin Banxia remembered.
"They're all dead." Li Su wanted to light a second cigarette, but Li Ye stretched out his hand and took the lighter in his hand.
Li Su wanted to snatch it back, but Li Ye gave him a look, he had no choice but to put his hand away, pulled up his mask, and stopped talking.
Song Qingluo said, "Go to the base first."
Li Ye said: "Okay."
Lin Banxia always felt that the atmosphere between Li Su and Li Ye was strange. When he thought about it carefully, he remembered what happened in their dreams. The worst thing was that they seemed to bring the memories of their dreams to life. In reality, just thinking about it makes me feel a little embarrassed.
Song Qingluo and Li Ye talked about the base again, and most of the content was similar to what Lin Banxia knew in the first-layer dream. When they returned home, Li Su and Li Ye had dreams ahead of time. Before they entered the campus dream, they also experienced some other dreams, most of which were bizarre, and the two quickly noticed the abnormality. But after Song Qingluo and Lin Banxia fell into a dream, they were taken directly into the school, and they lost all their previous memories. They really thought they were students of the school.
"That school is not where I went to school." Li Ye said, "It seems that the person who constructed the dream on this floor has a very strong spiritual power, otherwise he would not have pulled all the others in, and there is no sense of disobedience yet. ." He glanced at Song Qingluo from the rearview mirror, "Is it your dream?"
Song Qingluo said, "Yes."
Li Ye said, "Oh."
Of course, this was not Song Qingluo's dream, but Lin Banxia's, but Song Qingluo answered Li Ye's question lightly, and didn't seem to want him to know that this dream was related to Lin Banxia.
A few hours later, the car arrived outside the base.
What Lin Banxia didn't expect was that this base was exactly the same as the one he had seen in his dream, just without Bai Luze.
The group walked directly into the building, and Song Qingluo was quickly taken away by the staff. It was said that he was going to deal with the heresy that he had sealed in his body.
Lin Banxia, Li Su, and the others were arranged to sleep in the lounge. They said they were sleeping, but in fact, they didn't feel sleepy at all.
Li Ye was sitting on the sofa dozing off, Li Su squatted in the corner to shut himself up, Lin Banxia had nothing to do, took out his mobile phone and read the news casually, and a needle in the room could be heard falling.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a pale, bloodless face appeared at the door. Lin Banxia raised her eyes and happened to meet his eyes. The two looked at each other for a while, then came. The person smiled: "Hello, Lin Banxia."
It was Bai Luze who came.
He was exactly the same as Lin Banxia's dream. He was very slender. He was wearing a wide overalls. His face was a bit whiter than Li Su's. There was not a trace of blood on his lips. smell.
Lin Banxia said, "Hello..."
"You should know me, right?" Bai Luze walked naturally to Lin Banxia's side and sat down. Although his body was tightly covered by the work clothes, Lin Banxia still smelled a very faint smell of blood. There was no doubt that Bai Luze was the same as him in the dream, and there were wounds all over his body.
Fortunately, the dream has woken up now, and the rain has stopped, so he doesn't have to hurt himself anymore.
"Where's Song Qingluo?" Bai Luze asked.
"He went to deal with heresy." Li Su replied, "What happened to Cui Gaoyu?"
"It's tied with a restraint belt." Bai Luze said, "But now that you have calmed down, you have really successfully sealed your dream?"
"Of course." Li Su said, "otherwise, how would we wake up?"
Bai Luze snorted.
Lin Banxia always felt that he seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he chose to remain silent.
"I've been on the train all night, so I'm hungry too." Bai Luze glanced at the time, "Would you like to eat something with me?"
"I don't need it." Li Su said, "I'm not hungry."
Li Ye also shook his head, so Bai Luze looked at Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia didn't rest all night, she was really hungry now, so she nodded and went out for food with Bai Luze.
Li Su looked at the backs of the two and suddenly said, "Do you think he knows?"
Li Ye said, "You know."
"It's better not to know." Li Su smiled bitterly. He glanced at Li Ye and found that he was also staring at him, with a complicated expression in his green eyes. After a while, he suddenly reached out and held his face.
"I'm awake?" Li Ye lowered his head and placed a kiss on Li Su's lips, "Why don't you hide? ... I'm still dreaming?"
Li Su laughed, stretched out his hand and gave Li Ye a punch, scolding: "Bunny, don't take advantage of me, get out of the way—"
Lin Banxia and Bai Luze chatted for a while on their way to the restaurant.
Bai Luze introduced himself and said that he had been here for many years. He was a partner with Cui Gaoyu before, but when Cui Gaoyu had an accident, he changed to a new partner. Bai Luze said it casually, as if it was easy to change partners, but Lin Banxia noticed that every time he mentioned the name Cui Gaoyu, his back would tighten slightly.
"Why are you doing this?" Bai Luze asked.
Lin Banxia said, "In the beginning, I was short of money."
"Lack of money?" Bai Luze's eyes widened, as if he had heard an unbelievable answer, "You... Are you a watcher?"
Lin Banxia said, "Yes."
Bai Luze said, "Since you are a watcher, why are you short of money? Oh, sorry, I forgot that your partner is Song Qingluo who bought the apple jade pendant."
Lin Banxia: "..." Song Qingluo, how famous is your apple jade pendant here, why does it feel like everyone knows it.
But Lin Banxia didn't think about it before, but being reminded by Bai Luze at this moment, he felt that something was wrong. The work that the monitors took on was so dangerous that he could earn all the money he would spend in his entire life in one year. Why not What about changing careers? Lin Banxia said, "Could it be that... you can't change careers?"
"It's not that easy." Bai Luze said, "You should know by now that most of the monitors are companions. What are they used for, you should know?"
Lin Banxia was slightly taken aback.
This base is used to seal up heretical things, just like the companion girl named Jiang Ruonan he met before. After she was found to be a companion, she was brought here. It seems that a series of activities will be carried out. The test, as for what to do after the test, Lin Banxia really doesn't know.
"There is no danger, you can live freely and report regularly." Bai Luze said, "But like some companions who threaten other people or the entire city, they cannot leave here casually. Only by choosing to be a monitor can you In exchange for some freedom."
Bai Luze smiled: "I am one of them."
Bai Luze's ability is that it will rain when he is injured. At first glance, this ability seems ordinary and seems to be not dangerous, but if it is used by someone with a heart, it will be bad. If he was tied near the dam and intentionally left wounds on his body, it would only take ten consecutive days to destroy all the cities downstream. So from this point of view, he is indeed a dangerous destabilizing factor.
While they were talking, the two had already come to the restaurant. Bai Luze ordered some food at will, and then asked Lin Banxia what he wanted to eat. Lin Banxia was a little hungry, so she ordered a set meal and two bottles of Coke. Bai Luze smiled and asked if you can finish the two bottles
Lin Banxia said, "Bring Song Qingluo a bottle."
"You two have a really good relationship." Bai Luze said.
"Yeah." Lin Banxia said vaguely, "As your partner, we have a good relationship. You and Cui Gaoyu have a good relationship, right?"
Bai Luze wrote lightly: "Not bad."
It was still early, and there was no one in the canteen. The two chose a remote location and started to eat. Speaking of eating, Bai Luze obviously had no appetite. After taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "What did you experience in your dreams?"
Lin Banxia said, "It's a mess, everything is there."
Bai Luze said, "Then did you see Cui Gaoyu inside?"
Lin Banxia said, "... I saw it."
Bai Luze pursed his lips and whispered, "Did he say anything?"
Lin Banxia remembered the notes left by Cui Gaoyu in that room, but hesitated a little. Should he tell Bai Luze? Probably because his expression was too obvious, Bai Luze saw it, his hand was grabbed, Bai Luze Anxiously: "Yes, right?"
Lin Banxia said, "Yes."
Bai Luze said, "What?"
Lin Banxia said, "Bai Luze, wait for me to come back."
Bai Luze stared at Lin Banxia blankly, as if he couldn't understand, his eyes were full of shock and stunned, he said hoarsely, "What?"
Lin Banxia repeated it carefully: "Bai Luze, wait for me to come back."
The chopsticks in Bai Luze's hand fell directly onto the table. His emotions were out of control, his chest heaved violently, and he supported his forehead with his hands, looking overwhelmed. Seeing this, Lin Banxia was a little worried and wanted to help him, but was rejected.
"No." Bai Luze said, "I'm fine."
Lin Banxia: "..."
"Actually, he's not in this business." Bai Luze said, "He's just a normal person, but he was unlucky and got to know me." In his trembling voice, there was a bit of choking, "Just came in, at first It was okay for a few years. After all, I have a special physique and I don’t have to take part in some particularly dangerous jobs. Later, he became more and more powerful, and the heretical things he came into contact with became more and more troublesome. I had expected this day to come, but I didn’t. I thought it would come so quickly."
Lin Banxia was silent.
Bai Luze said: "Actually, I didn't think about it too much, I just thought that if he died, he would just die by my side. Who knows that this is also an extravagant hope." A tear fell on the table with a clack.
Lin Banxia got some unusual information from Bai Luze's words, but Bai Luze's sad appearance made him unable to ask the questions in his mouth.
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh." Bai Luze's emotions changed quickly, as if the tear Lin Banxia saw was just his illusion.
Bai Luze picked up the chopsticks again and began to eat the food in front of him little by little.
This time, the person who couldn't eat became Lin Banxia himself. He rarely saw others cry, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he fidgeted on the spot.
"Do you want to know what Song Qingluo is doing now?" Bai Luze asked.
Lin Banxia said, "Isn't he taking something out of his body?"
Bai Luze said: "Yes, do you want to know how to get it?"
Lin Banxia was stunned for a moment, and said, "I want to."
Bai Luze smiled slyly and said, "Come here." With Lin Banxia, he walked to the corner, walked through a few doors, detoured a few paths, and finally came to a locked door. . Bai Luze took out the key, unlocked the door, and made a shush gesture to Lin Banxia, motioning him to keep quiet.
The light in the room was a little dim, like someone's bedroom. Bai Luze didn't turn on the light after he came in. Instead, he walked to the bed and picked up the remote control to turn on the display.
The screen flickered a few times, revealing the screen. Lin Banxia glanced at it and found that both the scene and the cold voice were familiar. It seemed to be a process in which the heresy was sealed away. Bai Luze did not speak, and used the remote control. After changing a few stations, Lin Banxia realized that at this moment, the base seemed to be carrying out the act of sealing up.
The screen flickered a few times and then stopped. Lin Banxia saw Song Qingluo on the screen. Song Qingluo was lying on a white bed with his eyes half-drooping, looking extremely vulnerable. Clothes that look like a nightgown, with the collar wide open, exposing the abdomen.
Lin Banxia just glanced at it, and then took a deep breath. She saw that Song Qingluo's abdomen had a big hole opened, and she could still see the scarlet texture. At the same time, a mechanical arm was slowly pulling a A black box was inserted into his body.
Song Qingluo's body suddenly trembled, as if she was suffering some kind of severe pain, her neck lifted weakly—
The pain was not relieved until the mechanical arm completely pulled the black box out. At this time, Song Qingluo was covered in cold sweat, and blood was bitten on his lips. He lowered his eyes, black His eyelashes were like a dying butterfly, and Lin Banxia even wondered if he was dead.
Then, his wound was sutured and smeared with a transparent liquid. The ferocious wound recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it was not completely healed, it did not look like it had been injured.
Lin Banxia had a panoramic view of this scene, he stared at it, unaware that his fingernails clenched into fists were deeply embedded in his flesh.
"How could this happen?" Lin Banxia said, "Even if he wants to open his abdomen, why not give him anesthesia."
"Of course not." Bai Luze said, "He has to control his body until the contents of his body are completely sealed."
Lin Banxia turned to look at Bai Luze: "Why are you showing me this?"
Bai Luze said warmly: "Why are you hostile to me? Don't I show you, these things have not happened? No, it has been happening and will continue to happen, but you don't know it."
Lin Banxia's expression suddenly turned cold. He stared at Bai Luze with an extremely fierce expression.
Seeing such an expression on the face of the mild-mannered Lin Banxia, Bai Luze didn't care at all, he said calmly, "Don't look at me like that, if you think I've done too much, you can beat me up. ."
Lin Banxia said coldly: "No, I should thank you, but it's a pity that I may not be able to give you what you want."
Bai Luze was slightly taken aback: "How do you know what I want?"
Lin Banxia said, "Do you want me to bring back Cui Gaoyu, who was sealed by Song Qingluo?"
Bai Luze blinked, neither admitting nor denying.
Lin Banxia said, "But can you tell me first, how did you know that Song Qingluo didn't seal up that dream, but Cui Gaoyu." He approached Bai Luze's ear and whispered, "You actually Are you in too?"
Having entered that bad dream, that's why he knew this secret Song Qingluo never mentioned.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia: No one can hurt Song Qingluo in front of me! !
Song Qingluo: Touching
Lin Banxia: Except for the bastard businessman who sells apple jade pendants! !
Song Qingluo: …
