Crazy memory shattered Finally, Xu Wang saw the face of his deceased mother, which was the only clear picture in the whole process.
The mother smiled, and time framed her most beautiful moment.
Xu Wang woke up.
The dark grid has been re-exited, and as far as the field of vision can be seen, it is a pure white ceiling.
He sat up dazedly, took off his helmet, and suddenly felt a little cold on his cheeks. I raised my hand and touched it, it was wet.
He cried
"Have you had nightmares too?" Qian Ai's voice came from next door.
Xu Wang turned his head, and his teammates, like him, also sat up from the dark grid. At this moment, he was putting his hands on the edge of the dark grid, and he seemed to have been "waiting for a long time".
"I didn't have nightmares." Xu Wang told the truth, he was frightened when he didn't want to open his mouth, and his voice was hoarse.
"Come on, the circles under my eyes are so red, what is there to be embarrassed to admit." Qian Ai wiped her face and exhaled, "I dreamed it too."
Xu Wang asked, "What did you dream of?"
Qian Ai said: "When my father lost his fortune in business and lost money, every day the creditor came to the door, and I didn't dare to go home after school, so I just wandered around the streets."
Xu Wang knew that Qian Ai was afraid of poverty and stingy. His reputation for "loving money" started in high school. But whether it was before or now, Qian Ai never mentioned these things behind the scenes.
"What about you?" Qian Ai asked hurriedly, as if wanting to end his story as soon as possible, "what did you dream about?"
Xu Wang didn't hide it from him, and said frankly, "My mother."
Qian Ai was stunned, scolded herself in her heart, and regretted asking.
Xu Wang didn't know about his family's affairs, because when that happened, he was still in elementary school, and when he got to high school, he changed his life early. But he knew about Xu Wang's mother's death.
Seeing Qian Ai's slap in the face, Xu Wang knew what he was thinking, and quickly relieved his teammates: "I'm fine, really, I didn't lie to you, it wasn't a nightmare, I just saw my mother. "
Although Xu Wang admitted that he was telling the truth, his red eyes and hoarse voice really weakened his persuasiveness.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately, on the opposite wall, Wu Sheng's secret box came out.
Like Xu Wang and Qian Ai, he sat up in a daze and took off his helmet, but soon his eyes became clear again.
Facing the two pairs of eyes full of inquiries, Wu Sheng frowned and said unsurely, "I seem to have... had a dream."
Xu Wang and Qian Ai nodded together and stamped him: "We've all dreamed."
To say it is a dream is actually more like a memory being rudely spied on and destroyed by someone, and the pain of the brain being violated is even stronger than that caused by the dream.
"Did it make us dream of the most uncomfortable thing on purpose?" Qian Ai ate the lesson he had just learned, and stopped asking about Wu Sheng's dream, only guessing and muttering, "Is this the content of this level?"
"I can't tell." Wu Sheng raised his arm, and there was no new prompt in the owl's head.
Xu Wang looked at the wall next to Wu Sheng, there were two hidden compartments, Kuang Jinxin and Chi Yingxue were lying there, but now, no one came out.
Doubts slowly emerged from his mind.
If it is really like what Qian Ai said, the dark grid makes people dream of the most unpleasant past, and Chi Yingxue has been absent for a long time. It can still be explained that his past is too complicated, and there may be too many scars, and it is not as easy to wake up as they are. , what about Jin Xin? Xu Wang really couldn't think of any painful memories of Kuang Jinxin in the bright sunshine, so he held on to him.
"Om-"
In the low-frequency vibration, Kuang Jinxin's dark grid popped up.
He sat up slowly, but didn't take off his helmet immediately, and stayed there in a daze, motionless, as if a person was awake and his soul was still in a dream.
"Small situation?" Xu Wang whispered worriedly.
Useless.
Wu Sheng, who was next to Kuang Jinxin, stretched out his hand and slowly put it on his shoulder, not moving, just laying it there.
Kuang Jinxin's body trembled slightly, and finally, he raised his hand and took off his helmet.
"I dreamed of my parents." Without anyone asking, he opened his mouth, his voice hoarse than Xu Wang's, his eyelashes were wet with tears, and there were still tears running down his chin.
Xu Wang, Qian Ai, and Wu Sheng were stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"I never told you that my parents died when I was very young." He lowered his head and seemed a little embarrassed about these "concealments", "The car accident, what my grandparents told me..."
"But just now, I dreamed of the scene of the car accident." He suddenly raised his head again, although there was still the sadness of the past in his eyes, but more of the doubts focused on the present, "It's not the real car accident scene, it's the one I've always imagined. ."
"Imagine?" Wu Sheng felt that he seemed to be able to catch something.
"Yes." Kuang Jinxin nodded, "In the years when I first learned about my parents' affairs, I often couldn't help thinking about the situation at that time. That's what I dreamed about just now."
Wu Sheng thought for a moment: "Could it be that these are actually your memories..." He considered his words, trying not to mention the incident itself, "It's just that you were too young to forget it?"
"Impossible." Kuang Jinxin shook his head, without any hesitation, "My parents had an accident out of town, and it has been two days since my relatives rushed over. And no one took me there. My grandparents and I stayed at home at that time. "
"Have you seen it? Like I said, it doesn't matter if it's true or false, it just grabs the piece of your heart that hurts the most!" Qian Ai angrily slapped the dark grid with a "dong" sound.
[Owl: Builder, confirm!]
The four partners suddenly remembered the prompt sound, which was almost seamless with Qian Ai's hammer.
Qian Ai looked down at the edge of the dark grid conditioned reflexively, wondering if she had accidentally touched some voice button.
Wu Sheng, Xu Wang, and Kuang Jinxin all looked at the only hidden cell that didn't appear - Chi Yingxue.
what builder? How did you confirm it
[Owl: Everyone has a dark room in their hearts...]
The voice in my ear suddenly softened, as if to coax you and tell you a sweet bedtime story.
[Owl: There is what this person fears the most, the deepest fear. After the helmet screening, the person with the most exciting, splendid and fun darkroom will automatically become the builder. Everything you meet next is the playground he built for you...]
[Owl: Baby, welcome to the hell in the brain.]
The prompt sound disappeared, and the world suddenly darkened, as if all the lights were turned off at once.
Even the air was quiet, so quiet that you could hear the breathing of your teammates.
Inside, hell.
Xu Wang rolled over these four words in his heart, and finally picked up the piece of debris that had been left behind—the last picture that just stayed in his mind was his mother smiling, but underneath her was the hospital bed.
The supporting force under him suddenly disappeared, and Xu Wang was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
There were three "dongs" beside my ears, obviously the same thing happened to my friends.
A little light slowly penetrated into the field of vision.
Thin, bright, slightly cool.
Xu Wang raised his head, it was the moon, more than half of it was covered by dark clouds, leaving only a narrow side, struggling to shed a faint light.
What space capsules, what dark spaces, all disappeared, and now they are under a gloomy night.
Qian Ai is not as artistic as the captain. After a little bit of light, he looked around at the left and right sides. When he saw it, he was stunned: "This is... Xiaoxue's brain?"
A courtyard with a towering vermilion gate and walls stood quietly in front of the four companions, quietly standing in this wilderness.
There are no alleys around, no streets, no paths, and no flowers or willows. This yard seems to have been moved out of thin air into this wilderness from the most prosperous part of Beijing city, and it looks like some female ghost made it for a resident scholar. phantom.
The courtyard door is very new, with vermilion lacquer, and in the faint moonlight, it can still glow.
There is a pair of stone drums in front of the door. The light is too dark to see what is carved on it, but the drum body has no signs of weathering, and the carvings are still clear and the color is clean.
Wu Sheng was the first to walk to the front door, originally just wanting to take a closer look, but raised his head inadvertently, but was stunned: "There is a surveillance camera..."
The three immediately approached, and sure enough, a precautionary camera was installed in the corner of the eaves, facing the gate, and whoever came to visit would have absolutely nothing to hide.
Siheyuan, with camera
"Xiaoxue is thinking about something in his head every day..." Qian Ai was completely stunned.
Wu Sheng pursed his lips and was thinking about whether to knock or break the door, but the door opened by itself.
Qian Ai resolutely shut up, and the others also restrained their breaths without making any movement.
Inside the door, a brick-carved shadow wall comes into view, depicting a crane standing on a pine branch - Songhe Yannian.
Siheyuan in old Beijing, the entrance is not a courtyard, the shadow wall is erected first, the feng shui blocks the evil, and also blocks the little ghosts, because it is said that the little ghosts do not know how to turn and only go straight.
The door on the left is the real front yard.
Entering the front yard, the sense of incongruity that can't tell the difference between the past and the present finally disappeared.
This is a modern courtyard that has been renovated and renovated, and it's gone. The front yard is very clean and decorated very simply. It basically maintains the original appearance of the old house, but the doors, windows and details are all modern craftsmanship.
I don't know if it was because of the darkness, but it looked new and clean everywhere, but the whole house was still gloomy.
In the front yard, there is a row of upside-down houses facing south and north. In ancient times, people lived there. At this time, two middle-aged men were playing chess in front of the house. One was shaking the car keys, and the other was carrying pruning shears. the other hand used for the game.
The little friends crept into the courtyard, did not dare to go any further, stood still six or seven meters away, and watched the two of them quietly.
As if they could feel their sight, the two men turned their heads at the same time.
The man carrying the pruning shears frowned first and said in a bad tone, "Who are you?"
As soon as the voice fell, the four partners suddenly received a "ding--" at the same time.
: Look for Chi Yingxue.
The hearts of the four partners in the south, east, north and west finally caught a hint of direction.
Although it is still in the fog, at least, I know what the mission is.
Seeing that the man's expression became more and more impatient, Xu Wang quickly said, "Let's find someone."
"Looking for someone?" The other one also stood up, the car key on his finger, still spinning in circles, "Who is it?"
Not knowing what the situation is now and how to proceed, Xu Wang decided to throw a straight punch, maybe he could throw out some clues: "Chi Yingxue, let's find Chi Yingxue."
The car key and the pruning shears were stunned together: "Looking for the young master?"
The four partners were caught off guard and stupid.
little master
Could this be... Chi Yingxue's home? !
