Unlike others, Lin Huai's attention was completely attracted by the croupier.
The dealer who shuffled the cards was tall and thin. He wore a silver mask, but his exposed chin was well defined. Lin Huai looked at him, wondering where he had seen him before.
"...Could it be a pop-up advertisement?" A ridiculous thought flashed through his mind.
At the moment when the bottom of the cards was revealed, the gambler roared and collapsed to the ground in despair. He was quickly dragged away by the security of the casino, but Lin Huai only looked at the croupier who was shuffling the cards.
The croupier's fingers are slender and strong, with well-defined joints, shuffling cards like flowing water, never sloppy.
Lin Huai admired this kind of skillful person very much.
He stood there enjoying the next round, but soon, Ke Le grabbed his arm.
"Lin Huai, I saw the drug dealer!" He said hurriedly, "It's over there!"
He pointed to a small door in the north of the hall, where there were indeed a few suspicious elements sneaking around. Lin Huai followed him like a stream, rushing towards the door like Moses dividing the sea.
Seeing the suspicious person close at hand, just as Lin Huai was thinking about what plot Ke Le would make up for this dream, an accident happened.
A young man stumbles through the crowd. At first, Lin Huai didn't pay attention to him. Until he passed through the crowd and just ran into the two of them.
"Uh... um!"
He collided with the people around him, and just happened to fall beside Lin Huai. For a moment, a strange and extremely strong smell finally invaded Lin Huai's sluggish respiratory system.
The young man trembled on the ground, curled up into a ball, shivering, his cheeks flushed. Lin Huai was hit hard by him, and while he was caught off guard, he finally smelled it for the first time, one of the smells that made him irritated.
First, he instinctively took two deep breaths and sneezed. Then, before his brain had time to react, he took a step forward: "You..."
The young man was still grabbing himself, and said in pain: "Give me... the inhibitor... Woo... I feel so uncomfortable, so hot..."
As soon as the words fell, he gasped several times.
Lin Huai:
Several well-trained security guards quickly dragged him away. One of them cursed, "You actually put an omega in the casino", and at the same time took out something, and sprayed it on the young man. While confused, Lin Huai extracted the following information from the conversations of these people:
1. This person may have asthma, so the whole body feels hot and wheezing. However, the way he grabbed his collar seemed like an addict who couldn't find the medicine and had an attack on the spot.
2. This person fell down before hitting him. Even in a dream, Lin Huai didn't have to pay for his medical expenses. Lin Huai is uniquely beautiful and refuses to touch porcelain.
3. Seeing the young man's appearance, the people around him not only did not extend a helping hand, but also covered their mouth and nose, and moved away a little. It is enough to see that in this dream, either people are indifferent, or everyone is in danger.
4. This person was sprayed with a lot of strong perfume, which made him a little dizzy. It can be seen that the more perfume the better. This person is probably a straight guy who doesn't know how to dress himself.
This magical dream world made Lin Huai more and more confused, and also made him more and more curious.
After Lin Huai looked at the ground curiously, and found that he was suddenly watched by everyone present. He finally heard the sound of the dream plot advancing.
"Good evening, two agents." A few people in black suits who seemed to be from some dark interest group appeared in front of them, "Our boss, I would like to invite you to go."
"Lin Huai! We've been spotted!" Ke Le yelled, "Run!"
As he said that, he drew out his gun with a very symbolic gesture of resistance, and was kidnapped and brought to justice by the dark interest group with a very positive gesture.
Lin Huai: ...
Ke Le, who was pressed to the ground, was still struggling. While struggling, he shouted: "Lin Huai! Go away! Go tell the captain! Leave me alone!"
Lin Huai: ...
Ke Le: "Let me bear their anger and torture alone...ah—~"
This little brother is really interesting. Lin Huai was a little overwhelmed by his loyalty.
Although in the third layer of dreams, he and the power of the dream guards have become very close. But if he wanted to bring down these bodyguards and run away with Ke Le... He could still do it.
However, for some reason, Ke Le, who was subdued by several people from the dark interest group, had excitement and anticipation in his eyes besides fear... After Lin Huai, a tenth-level eyesight scholar, tried hard to interpret his eyes, he suddenly realized up.
Just as Lelouch was stabbed to death for the sake of the world, Kame Madoka is willing to sacrifice herself to save all magical girls. Ke Le's purpose should be to lurk beside the boss behind the scenes, and exchange his life for the last information before being tortured to death.
"...As expected of you." Lin Huai murmured softly, "Is this your romance that belongs only to men?"
Even though something always feels wrong. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that Ke Le's romance was very special and noble compared with those couples of men and women, women and men who kissed wildly in the dream. Because of this, he couldn't help showing a smile full of anticipation.
So this is an immersive undercover game comparable to "The Hidden Guardian"? Thinking of this, he showed a smile of "how can such a good thing not take me".
He put the weapon on the table, raised his hands, raised his chin and said, "I surrender too."
"You surrender too? What conspiracy do you have?"
Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Lin Huai said: "I am Ke Le's teammate, and I am his partner in life and death. I will never let him bear all the pain alone—"
—Never let go of an opportunity to witness a good show. he thought.
"Lin Huai! Don't!" Ke Le struggled, "Let me enjoy it alone... no, bear it..."
Lin Huai: "No, I'm going to force it."
"Take them all away." The leader of the dark interest group lost his patience and waved his hand.
Lin Huai and Ke Le were taken away, and the casino returned to its original tranquility (?). One of the slot machine players looked at the direction the two left, and said to the people around him: "The boy in uniform just now was really exciting."
"It's strong, the legs are long and straight." Another person replied, "It just seems that the brain is not working well."
"He's a beta, right? But even if he's a beta, after taking these two big mouthfuls..."
Lin Huai, whose brain is not so good, never imagined that there could be some kind of strange setting in this world. He and Ke Le were blindfolded and led into a certain room.
At the moment when the light was regained, Lin Huai blinked.
"... You are finally here."
The man dressed in black, who looked like the boss of the dark interest group, showed a deepdarkfantasy smile in front of the two people who were tightly tied to the chair. Ke Le, who was tied to the chair on the left, was terrified, with red eyes, sobbing and struggling: "I tell you, I will not, will not surrender to the evil forces! Even if you torture me, torture me, and make me cry in pain Come out, take pictures and videos of me being tortured on camera... I will not give in either... "
Lin Huai: ... Your lines are a little strange.
If you don't notice the strangeness of the plot at this time, Lin Huai is not Lin Huai, but demented. He who was tied to the chair on the right really felt that this scene was too fantastical. Although he could break free from the handcuffs on his hand with one hand, he struggled symbolically twice while being watched by so many men in black.
"Don't hurt Lin Huai!" Ke Le was still shouting, "You can hurt and interrogate me as much as you want!"
A man in black came over and roughly stuffed a plastic ball into his mouth. Lin Huai looked at Ke Le's way of humming hard while holding the ball in his mouth, and the rational strings in his brain suddenly began to tremble.
"Could it be... this is..."
A strong sense of speechlessness and a collapsed world view flooded his heart. This feeling reached its peak when the boss of the group walked towards the two of them, opened the curtain behind the two of them, and turned their chairs around.
Looking at the eye-catching birdcage x-shaped horizontal bars and all kinds of strange shapes and colors, Lin Huai heard the sound of the whole world shattering in his heart.
… Falk squid.
He silently cursed Ke Le in his heart, and realized within five seconds that this might be a blessing for him. Ke Le, who had received the blessing effect, was still writhing and struggling, and made a vague voice of "interrogate me" and "interrogate me".
… what! ! !
Countless groundhogs yelled, screamed, and screamed in Lin Huai's heart. After a Pavarotti-like symphony of the Yellow River chorus, he finally regained his composure.
"Let's start with the one between you?" The big boss of the Dark Group lifted Lin Huai's chin with a black cane, "Little brother, you look very proud..."
"Let's start with you." He licked the corner of his mouth, "I really want to see you crying helplessly..."
"No!" Ke Le, who broke free from the shackles of the plastic ball on the other side, shouted, "Obviously I came first! Let me bear the pain alone!"
Lin Huai: ...
"Okay." He smiled kindly at the big boss of darkness in front of him, "Then let's start with you."
ten minutes later.
The office of the Dark Group, which was originally very incompatible with Jinjiang, became even more incompatible with Jinjiang in another sense under Lin Huai's destructive power. Lin Huai stepped on the corpse of the boss of darkness, and let out a loud pooh.
He felt hot all over, tired and excited, and his heart was beating non-stop. Drenched in blood, he crushed the body of the dark boss with the soles of his boots, his face was flushed, his eyes were watery, and his expression was crazy, like a rose with poisonous thorns.
"Pooh."
He spit on the dark boss, and cut the rope and handcuffs that bound Ke Le with a knife. From the moment Ke Le was released, he rushed to the dark boss on the ground and screamed.
"Ah—" he cried, "why—why did you die—ah!!"
Wiping his tears, he twitched his shoulders: "Why—why—a nightmare! It's the worst nightmare!"
"Really?" The young man standing behind him said softly, "Then I am very honored."
"Is it so difficult to have a life in Jiang—"
Ke Le was still crying, Lin Huai stared at his dejected and frightened appearance, feeling that the fear he had brought to him was enough.
In a sense, he has achieved his goal of intimidating Ke Le today. Thinking of this, he opened the door of the office of the Dark Group, and walked out without looking back.
As soon as he went out, a gust of cold wind hit his blushing face. After walking several hundred meters, Lin Huai finally reached an empty corridor.
He threw away the knife in his hand, leaned against the wall, supported his face with one hand, and began to pant.
"haha a… "
He felt that he was hot all over, his head was dizzy, and his body was gradually losing strength.
Throat starts to dry out.
"...What the hell is going on." He said hoarsely, "Could it be that he was poisoned...or did that person have a zombie virus?"
He felt extremely uncomfortable, and there was no dry and comfortable part of his body. His head seemed to have been poured into thick cream and pressed into the pot to cook, stirring, stirring, the heat and sweetness were so intensely exuded.
In this state, he has no way to activate his ability to make the return trip.
He tried to stretch his arms, his wrists and fingers were shaking. After a while, he finally picked up the knife that fell on the ground.
"I feel, it's the lump at the back of the neck... Is this a sign of illness?"
In order not to let himself forget what he was thinking, he subconsciously murmured to himself and read out all the contents of his mind: "Use a knife... cut it off... cut it off like a giant's nape …”
The cold blade was pressed against the nape of his neck, as if he had strangled the nape of his own destiny. He shook his head hard, and said to himself: "What the hell is in this dream... My hands are not very steady now, and I may get hurt... However, this is a price that can be paid. Wait until the next day Just a layer of dreamland, it's fine... By the way, it seems that death can escape from the dreamland, so I'll try to die..."
Saying this, as if he had made up his mind, he exerted force on his wrist to cut the blade into his artery!
However, at the next moment, the blade that condensed all his strength was pinched by a hand.
"If you commit suicide now, you can't go back to the previous dream." In his blurred vision, a silver mask appeared, "In the case of blurred consciousness, the ability to escape from the dream cannot be activated. Now death, It will only make you fall into the realm of wandering."
Even though he could no longer see the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, his remaining rationality was not enough for him to recognize the person in front of him. Lin Huai still pursed his lips, staring at him with the most vicious eyes he could think of.
In normal times, such eyes would be terrifying. However, for his current situation, such watery eyes are not convincing. The person continued: "The free realm is the edge of the dream, where everything is chaotic and disorderly. Although with your ability, you may be able to break free from it, but I suggest not to push yourself too hard. .”
"roll."
Lin Huai tried hard to say in a cold voice.
The opponent snatched the blade from his fingertips and threw it aside. The blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Lin Huai's mood also sank to the bottom at that moment.
"I'll help you," said the man.
A gust of hot air approached his neck, Lin Huai suddenly opened his eyes wide at that moment, showing an expression almost frightened: "Don't touch me!"
Perhaps it was the first time he showed a slightly pitiful expression. The man stopped.
Lin Huai was still leaning against the wall, struggling with her body. The man asked him, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm so unlucky." Lin Huai said.
"Ah, a little bit."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw Lin Huai bite down hard. He quickly reached out, and before Lin Huai bit off his tongue, he stuck his fingers between his two rows of teeth.
The slender white fingers were bitten between the two rows of teeth, and the teeth were bitten down so hard that the opponent's fingers were bitten with blood. The blood of the visitor also seeped out along the broken skin along the fingertips.
"Fuck, you are so powerful, are you a dog?"
As he said this, the man didn't stick out his fingers. He knelt down and grabbed the opponent's chin with the other hand to prevent the opponent from harming himself: "Are you going to bite your tongue and kill yourself? Do you want to die that much?"
"Hmph..." Lin Huai said vaguely, "Even if I die and be buried in a coffin, I still have to shout out with a decayed voice..."
"I will never let anyone... torture me." He said tremblingly, "Don't think that I... can't move now, as long as you can't kill me, I will..."'
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't you bully young people into poverty?"
Lin Huai: "?"
The vigilance of the whole body was suddenly vented at that moment. He was a little confused.
The man sighed: "You can't kill yourself by biting your tongue alone. The essence of suicide by biting your tongue is that blood clots block your throat, which is suffocation."
As he said that, he tried to realize that the pressure on his fingers had relaxed, and said again: "I wanted to bully you for a while, but you are so pitiful, forget it, forget it."
Lin Huai: ...
"I came to help you with good intentions. I killed and bit people as soon as I came up. What am I trying to do?" The man complained, "Damn, when will your indiscriminate attacking temper change? Standing in front of you as a big man, you Can't recognize it?"
Lin Huai:
—Do you have to be so spoiling the scenery
The moment this thought came to mind, Lin Huai suddenly felt more at ease.
Although from any logical or rational point of view, it is absolutely impossible for that person to appear here... His rationality tells him that he should continue to seek death, continue to attack, or run away...
But his intuition told him that he was at ease.
"This is the second time you have bitten me." The man took back his bitten finger from the other party's mouth, and pinched the other party's tongue as if venting his anger, "You remember."
"Hmm..." Lin Huai sighed unconsciously.
"Should you recognize me?" The man knelt down to look at him, "Then, now..."
he laughed.
"Can I touch you?"
He tapped the opponent's chin with his finger.
In return, Lin Huai unconsciously sticks out the tip of her tongue, as if aggrieved, and as if flattering—
Licked his injured finger.
-Can.
This is his silent answer.
Whether this is the trust in the comer, who firmly believes that he will not do whatever he wants, or the acquiescence that he can do whatever he wants, has not been tested until now. However, the visitor temporarily stopped other actions because of the unexpected touch from the tip of the opponent's tongue.
The footsteps of the dream guards gradually came from the corridor. After Ke Le, the lord of dreams, lost his love, his subconscious finally started to fight back.
Guards in black suits roam the building in search of unwanted dream intruders. The footsteps of leather shoes hitting the ground came one after another, and within a short while, they had already approached the stairwell where the two were hiding.
