The Late Night Train

Chapter 124: Story Six Thursday (122)

I took a curious look and saw that it was indeed a luxurious villa, and there was an ancient tree not far from the gate. The tree trunks are knotted, adding a bit of desolation and weirdness. And under the tree, I saw a white shadow swaying in the wind, but it was a woman wearing a white dress. The woman had a slim figure and long black hair, as if she had come from my distant memory. The person turned her head. I knew it was impossible to see her face clearly from such a long distance, but I still couldn't help but stare at her.

"What a pity! There is a big hole in the wall of the villa. Everyone can come in and out at will. The surveillance cameras are the same as the ones on display." The middle-aged man in a vest was still talking.

The sound of the whistle whistled rapidly from far to near, whizzing past. I suddenly felt my body leaning forward uncontrollably and my head hit the front seat hard. At the same time, I heard everyone's exclamations and the harsh sound of brakes.

"TMD! Why are you driving!" The bus cursed loudly at the car passing in front. I have no way of knowing whether the other party heard it. At that time, I endured the burning pain in my forehead and looked under the tree again, but the woman in the white dress was no longer there. I almost suspected that it was just an illusion.

"… whee… "

The rustling sound turned into bursts of snickering, with sharp thorns piercing my head.

Maybe... it's really an illusion. what does that mean? Are the symptoms starting to get worse

"What is that?" a familiar voice.

"I don't know!" I couldn't help shouting. Fortunately, the car was noisy and no one noticed me.

When I returned home, I decided not to go out during this period and spend this difficult period quietly. The outside world at this time is dangerous for me, and it is also dangerous for those around me. Anything unknown can be a source of excitement and who knows what will happen next.

Just when I was making this decision, I received a message from Liu Wenjing.

"Are you okay? When I left, I noticed that you didn't look very well."

How should I answer? Of course you can't tell her the truth!

"I'm fine! I had a great time today."

"Um."

Was she trying to say something to me? From this one-word reply, I felt that I was hesitant to speak. Sure enough, she sent another message.

"Take care of yourself, see you on Thursday."

Thursday? Is it the time we agreed on before? I actually forgot about this! Should I say no? But…

I hesitated to reply, and our conversation ended. In the following time, I didn’t dare to guess what the other person was thinking, I just wanted to get through this nightmare-like day as soon as possible. Maybe after that I'll have a chance to explain it to her.

Time passed little by little, and when I finally regained consciousness, I swallowed three times the usual dose of medicine. However, the effect is very limited. In the following time, I could hardly tell whether I was in reality or fantasy. From time to time, I would hear strange noises and often see a familiar figure. I knew who she was, but I didn't dare say her name.

The world around me kept shaking, as if the entire space would collapse at any time. I couldn't imagine what I looked like to outsiders. The locked door may be able to hide this secret for me. The roar was like the roar of a wild beast. The tearing pain in my throat and the hoarse muttering to myself made me realize that the roar might have come from me.

Everything was as I expected, twisted and dark, until everything I heard and saw was lost in the endless dead silence. I really hope that moment of tranquility will be my eternal destination.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a voice coming from the darkness.

The sound of keys opening the door and footsteps approaching from far away.

"How are you feeling?" That was Dong Sheng's voice. Only he had the key to my room. Since learning all this, he has carefully kept my secret secret and will be keeping an eye on my safety during this time.

I felt a little more at ease and asked, "What time is it now?"

"July 22, Friday." Dong Sheng replied.

"Is it finally over?" I sighed slowly, feeling like I was surviving a disaster, "It's a pity that I missed my date with Jiao Lei and the others."

Dong Sheng comforted me and said, "That's not true."

"how?"

"I told Lou Yuqing that I was going on a business trip with you on Thursday, so they asked me to tell you that the time has been changed to today." Dong Sheng explained.

"So, I didn't break the promise!" I opened my eyes in surprise and sat up from the bed. Liu Wenjing's smile appeared in her mind.

Dong Sheng looked at his watch, "If I don't go out, I'm afraid I will really miss the date."

I borrowed Dong Sheng's watch to look at it. Before I even looked at the time, my eyes were dazzled by the shining golden light.

"I just got a gold Rolex watch! How about it? It's rich enough!" Dong Sheng said proudly.

Dong Sheng is good at everything, but his taste is a little... different.

"The appointment is for six o'clock in the evening, and you still have an hour and a half." Dong Sheng still had a worried look on his face, "Have you recovered?"

"It should be fine." I took a sip of water and put the pills into my mouth. "Thursday has passed. It will be fine."

"Do you need me to send you there?" Dong Sheng asked.

"What? Aren't you with us?"

Dong Sheng said awkwardly: "There are still things at the company, so I won't disturb the four of you on your date. I wish you good luck."

"Remember to close the door for me." I stopped caring about Dong Sheng and hurriedly walked out the door.

The agreed-upon location is not too far away, and it will take more than enough time to get there by car. When I was still three kilometers away from the agreed place, I stopped at an intersection to double-check whether I had forgotten anything. The pill bottle fell from my bag and I picked it up and saw the words "Risperidone Tablets" on the label.

After shaking gently, I realized that it was empty. An uneasy feeling vaguely rose from my heart.

I have to find a pharmacy nearby as soon as possible.

The car deviated from the planned route and turned into a street. There is a residential building there, and there should be a pharmacy nearby. At this time, the sky had turned dark, but the street lights on the street did not turn on. Fortunately, my eyesight was not bad, and I could tell that there was a pharmacy not far ahead.

The alley is narrow, so I can only park the car and walk there.

A man suddenly blocked my way. He looked like a young man, wearing a leather jacket and with a fierce face, as if he was a member of the underworld.

"Stop!" The young man pulled out a baseball bat, pointed at me and shouted.

I frowned, not wanting to conflict with the other party, so I could only whisper: "I'm sorry, please let me pass!"

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?" The young man pushed hard, and I fell to the ground unprepared.

Anger rose in my heart, and I raised my head and glared at the young man.

"What are you looking at! Our boss is discussing things over there, so don't even think about going there!" the young man said arrogantly.

"What's not good for young people to do, just imitate others and join society?" I sneered.

"You're not convinced, aren't you!" The young man's face looked a bit ugly, as if he was stepping forward to take action. A cell phone ringtone suddenly appeared, stopping his progress. He picked up his cell phone and answered loudly: "Yes, it's scheduled for tomorrow, Friday the 22nd. That's it!..."
