Seeing the blood left on the bed and Chen Xian's body, everyone was very surprised, because the blood had never appeared before that, it seemed to come out the moment Chen Xian got up... But Chen Xian didn't He looked as if he had been injured, he was in good shape from head to toe, and one could find that the blood did not seep from his body at all, but soaked in from the outside.
In other words, the blood was "splashed" on Chen Xian from the outside, and it had nothing to do with him, but it was because of this...the old liar and the others couldn't figure it out even more.
They stayed by Chen Xian's side all the time before, and they never left the room for half a step from the beginning to the end. It can be said that they kept their eyes on Chen Xian who was lying on the bed unconsciously...
So under such conditions, how could the blood escape everyone's eyes and ears and get on Chen Xian's body
This is obviously impossible!
"I... I had a dream just now..." Chen Xian muttered, his expression seemed to be a little dazed, and his tone of voice sounded a bit confused, as if he didn't understand what was going on, "In the dream There was a lot of blood-colored mist in it...then the fog condensed into rainwater...the rainwater fell on the ground and turned into a pool of blood...I was lying there a second before I woke up...they seemed to follow me..."
"Following you?" The old liar frowned, as if he didn't doubt Chen Xian's babbling words at all, and a trace of seriousness that ordinary people couldn't understand flashed in his eyes, "What is following you?"
"Blood on the ground." Chen Xian shook his head. At this moment, he seemed to be a little more awake, and his tone became serious when he spoke, and he seemed to have begun to analyze himself, "This should be impossible... beyond common sense it's..."
After finishing speaking, Chen Xian dipped his hands in some blood, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
"This is not my blood." Chen Xian frowned even tighter, and whispered to the old liar, "My blood doesn't smell like this, and I haven't been injured before... No, it should be said that I was injured earlier. It just healed on its own, and it was impossible to bleed any more."
"I think so too." The old liar's expression was a bit uglier than Chen Xian's, as if he was worried about something, he also imitated Chen Xian's way of dipping his hands in some blood and sniffing it carefully, "It doesn't seem to be human blood either... Human blood doesn't taste like this... but it doesn't taste like the blood of those abnormal lives... very strange smell... "
"Does it look like a plant?" Chen Xian suddenly asked inexplicably.
Hearing Chen Xian's words, Xu Yanan and Mu He who were standing aside were a little dazed, because they never thought that these bloods could be associated by Chen Xian with plants. How could plants have blood
Compared to them, the old liar seems to have thought more, and his level of thinking is far deeper than Xu Yanan and the others.
"Plant..." The old liar glanced at Chen Xian, then lowered his head and looked at the blood on his fingertips, as if he wanted to make sure of something further. Under Xu Yanan and the others' astonished eyes, he directly put his finger into his mouth, as if he wanted to use it Taste it to find out what the blood is.
Although his actions seem a bit disgusting, it is undeniable that this unique analysis method can help the old liar a lot. After all, for him, the sense of taste is much more reliable than the sense of smell.
In these bloody waters, the old liar tasted many strange things.
It has a characteristic grassy smell of earth.
It smells of salty sea water.
There is also a smell secreted from an unknown plant... that smell is very unique, like the smell of the branch of the plant after it is broken off.
"The dream you had... what dream..." the old liar asked suddenly.
"I started doing it a long time ago, but this time it's a little special... I don't remember if I told you that after finishing the strange case in the Wushan Mental Hospital, I began to have frequent nightmares, which have accumulated until today." , A total of forty or fifty times." Chen Xian didn't plan to get out of bed, and sat motionless on the bed as if in a daze, "Every nightmare is the same... at least the location is the same!"
"Location?" The old liar was taken aback, and asked hastily, "You mean you will appear in the same place every time in that dream?"
"Yes." Chen Xian nodded, only feeling that the communication with the old liar was extremely smooth, at least he would not suspect that what he said was false, "Every time I appear in that dream, it is in a dark deep sea Underneath...there is a particularly large bluestone brick square...it seems to have existed for a long time...it should have been built by the ancients..."
Hearing these words, the old liar seemed to have been frightened suddenly, and shivered almost uncontrollably.
This sudden reaction naturally fell into the eyes of others.
"Grandpa Ge, what's wrong with you?" Mu He stood by the bed and looked at the old liar, feeling that the old liar in front of him was a little strange, his expression seemed to be wearing a mask, and his body was trembling slightly... from him, Mu He could clearly smell a kind of fear.
Xu Yanan and Chen Xian naturally discovered this too, but they didn't choose to ask him at this juncture.
"No... I'm fine..." The old liar shook his head, his voice was extremely dry, as if he had exhausted all his strength to utter every word from his mouth.
The old liar looked at Chen Xian with a very strange look. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally fell silent. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked tremblingly...
"You go out first." Chen Xian said suddenly.
"Okay." Xu Yanan nodded, seeing that Mu He was still a little reluctant, she could only walk up and coax her while leading her out.
Compared with Mu He who is indifferent to the world, Xu Yanan is more able to read words and deeds.
She could feel that both the old liar and Chen Xian were hiding certain things in their hearts, but these things were not something that outsiders could hear, so she asked them, who were not involved, to avoid them.
When the door was closed, the cigarette in the old liar's hand was exhausted.
"What are the characteristics of that underwater square?" The old liar threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and asked without looking back. During the process, he kept avoiding Chen Xian's gaze, as if there was something unspeakable.
"The area is very large, and the ground is covered with blue bricks."
When Chen Xian said this, he recalled it carefully, and then added.
"There's another tree."
a tree.
The old liar shuddered again.
"What does that tree look like?" asked the old crook, lighting his cigarette again.
"I can't see clearly... It's a little blurry when I get closer... But the skin of the tree is the same color as blood..." Chen Xian frowned and said slowly, what he had seen in his dream appeared in his mind, A feeling of instinctive disgust suddenly appeared in my heart, "It seems to be rotten... the branches are thin and long... the crown of the tree looks like a network of intertwined human blood vessels..."
Hearing this, the old liar was already a little unsteady. He staggered to the side and sat on a chair in the corner. His mental state was extremely sluggish, and his trance-like appearance was like that of Chen who had just woken up earlier. idle.
Chen Xian could smell the fear in the old liar.
It all changes.
It seems that they all come from these dreams that I said.
Chen Xian just thought about it for a while, and roughly analyzed a result...
The old liar knows many things.
Especially the scene he saw in his dream, he should also know...or have seen it himself!
Are those things real
Chen Xian was a little dazed, unable to understand and accept this fact.
In his view, dreams are dreams, reality is reality, and all of these should be distinguished.
But if they are separated... How can I explain the blood on my body? In what way did they cross the boundary between dreams and reality and come to this world? !
What's more, I don't know about the ancient square under that sea area, and I have never had access to relevant information. Thinking about it this way, why did I dream about them
"I've been to that sea."
The old liar said suddenly, his voice seemed hoarse because he smoked too much.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Xian, his eyes became extremely complicated, as if hesitating whether to say the next thing, he didn't speak for a long time, just fidgeting in silence.
"Say what you want. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask." Chen Xian said softly.
The old liar shook his head, as if he had made some kind of decision, his voice trembling faintly.
"Not only I have been to that ancient dark sea, but also your grandfather Chen Ba, your grandfather Zhou Tuan, the three of us have all been there, and we went together..."
"How long ago was that?" Chen Xian asked.
The old liar thought for a while, and suddenly showed a strange smile.
"A long time ago."
