Chapter 41: A Nightmare That Can't Wake Up
Yu Zhe began to panic, November 9th, this is a time that he will never forget in his life.
That year, Yu Guozheng died because of the mission, and after he and his mother Ji Xian took care of their father's funeral, they thought that everything was over, and the mother and son packed up their mood and prepared to face the next few days.
But the world is unpredictable, and Yu Zhe couldn't imagine how cruel the group of criminals who were pursued by his father could be.
On that uneventful night, inhumane drug dealers broke into Yu Zhe's home, just to get revenge.
On the night of the tragedy, Ji Xian tried her best to hide the young Yu Zhe, so that he could temporarily save his life, but she persevered for eight hours under the humiliation and torture of the gangsters, and finally failed to see the sun rise on a new day.
Yu Zhe felt a chill in his back when he thought about it, he knew that he couldn't wake up from this dream no matter what, so he simply tried to control it, since he couldn't prevent this from happening fifteen years ago, then at least in the dream, let this story have a happy ending.
But despite his thoughts, his body was still uncontrollable, and his every action was happening step by step in an orderly manner, just like back then.
"It's moving! It's ...... I'm running out of time. Yu Zhe's consciousness was resisting, and although he didn't know if it would work, he had to try.
Finally, Yu Zhe succeeded.
First it was just the eyes, then the whole head, then the neck and shoulders...... As Yu Zhe was able to control more and more parts, a glimmer of hope finally rekindled in his heart.
After only about a minute, Yu Zhe finally gained control of his entire body and could move freely in this dream world.
"Mom, come with me!" The first thing Yu Zhe did was to leave here with Ji Xian, it didn't matter where he went, at least he didn't need to think about it in this dream world.
Yu Zhe couldn't help but pull Ji Xian's wrist, dragged her and ran out, opened the door, and it was the familiar white light again, and he rushed in without hesitation.
The white light is fleeting, and the surrounding environment is still the house, the familiar living room, the familiar TV program, and the familiar Ji Xian sitting on the sofa.
Yu Zhe was stunned, looked down, didn't grasp anything in his hand, and when he looked up again, he returned to his original position.
The hostess on TV reported the time as usual, and sure enough, nothing changed.
"Why is this happening...... Yu Zhe couldn't believe it, he couldn't even change his dream, he decided to try it once.
With the experience just now, this time he controlled his body faster, pulled up Ji Xian and ran out.
But the same thing happened again.
Yu Zhe couldn't believe it, he tried again and again, and failed again and again, and finally he despaired, realizing that no matter what he did, it would be useless, everything would still happen, so he no longer resisted and let it develop.
The tragedy began ten minutes later.
Ji Xian first heard the sound of rustling outside the door, she suddenly became vigilant, quietly walked to the door, and used the cat's eye to check the situation.
In the past few days after Yu Guozheng's sacrifice, she was suddenly very cautious and sensitive, even the grass and trees were soldiers, although she also knew that most of the time the so-called danger was her imagination out of thin air, but she was afraid that something would suddenly happen and take Yu Zhe away from her, and she didn't want to lose anything anymore.
But this time the danger is real, Ji Xian looked out, there were five men standing outside the door, although they were wearing thick winter clothes, they could still see various tattoos on the few pieces of skin they only exposed, several people were smoking cigarettes, whispering something, holding tools in their hands as if they wanted to break the door lock.
A few people are not good at first glance, Ji Xian's heartbeat began to accelerate, although he didn't know their purpose, but looking at the actions of this group of uninvited guests, I am afraid it is too late to call the police now, once they come in, it is likely to directly pose a threat to Yu Zhe's safety, and he must find a way to hide him first.
Under the bed, wardrobe, attic...... She thought of all sorts of places, but the locations were too easy to spot, and she had to find a safer place.
Thinking about it, Ji Xian set his eyes on the fish tank, which was a large fish tank one meter and five long, the upper part was filled with water, and various water features were arranged in it, raising a few brightly colored tropical fish.
There is a base under the fish tank, which seems to be very sturdy, but in fact the inside is hollow, and there is absolutely no problem in trying to hide a person inside.
In the face of danger, Ji Xian's potential was completely stimulated, and she was originally thin, but she directly dragged the hundreds of kilograms of fish tank out of the wall, and removed its back plate with her bare hands.
Yu Zhe couldn't do anything, so he could only watch all this silently, let Ji Xian stuff him into the base of the fish tank, and softly told him not to make a sound no matter what happened.
After doing all this, it was not enough, Ji Xian quickly glanced at the surrounding environment, and easily stuffed the only photo of three people in the family into it, so as not to remember Yu Zhe's appearance through the photo.
As soon as Ji Xian pushed the fish tank back into place, the locked door was opened by those people, several people rushed in, and the one who took the lead rushed forward to control Ji Xian from letting her shout, and a few people in the middle scattered around the house, looking for Yu Zhe, and the last one closed the door casually and locked it directly, in case someone came to disturb their revenge plan.
Soon, the few people who were looking for Yu Zhe in the house returned to the living room to gather, they found nothing, and whispered a few words to the person who took the lead, and helped him tie up Ji Xian.
The leader let go of the hand covering Ji Xian's mouth, but he couldn't stop shouting for help, the man didn't talk nonsense, and directly waved his hand and slapped her in the face.
Ji Xian was stunned by the beating, and when he couldn't stand steadily, he fell to the ground, no longer calling for help in his mouth, just staring at the leader with vicious eyes.
The man crouched down and pinched her face, and said in a threatening tone, "You still have a son, right? Where is he? I advise you to tell us honestly, so that we can give you a good time in a moment, or we have a way to get you to speak." ”
Ji Xian didn't speak, although his heart was beating at speed, he would never choose to sacrifice Yu Zhe for himself.
"Don't be ignorant, your dead policeman husband killed our three brothers, we must avenge this revenge, it just happens that there are three people in the family, and one person lives again. The muscles on the leader's face trembled, and he looked extremely fierce.
"You deserve to die!"
At the mention of Yu Guozheng, the anger in Ji Xian's heart far exceeded fear, and he cursed through gritted teeth.
The face of the person in the lead changed as soon as he brushed it, and his already hideous face became even more terrifying, he stood up and took two steps, turned around suddenly, kicked and kicked Ji Xian on the ground, and her painful voice began to echo in the room, but this was far from enough, the man made a gesture to several other people, and those people came forward and beat her together.
The whole process lasted for a few minutes, maybe those people were tired and stopped one after another, the leader squatted down again, looked at Ji Xian who was covered in blood, and asked again, "Ken said?"
Ji Xian was in severe pain, slowly opened his closed eyes, and spat a mouthful of blood on the man.
"Okay, you forced us. The man got up and shouted at the others, "Give this dead woman an amphetamine shot, don't let her faint in a moment!"
Yu Zhe under the fish tank couldn't stand it anymore, he spent the longest eight hours of his life shivering, all he could do was to pass through the gap between the wall and the fish tank, and remember the faces of the bastards who broke into his house.
Now in his dreams, he is forced to recall this unbearable past, and is forced to relive this painful eight hours.
He couldn't bear it any longer, he tried hard to control his body with his consciousness, pressed his back against the inside of the fish tank, and kicked hard against the wall with his feet, and a gap opened between the fish tank and the wall, just enough to let him out.
Yu Zhe angrily rushed towards the five people, and every punch hit those people solidly, but they didn't react, seeing that the fist was useless, he rushed directly to the kitchen, picked up a sharp knife for cutting meat, and stabbed at the vital point of one person.
But the moment the tip of the knife touched the person's body, the person disappeared out of thin air, and not only that person, but the other people and Ji Xian lying on the ground were nowhere to be seen.
Secretly screaming in his heart that something was wrong, Yu Zhe hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, everything was back to square one.
The TV reminded him of the date again, and he wailed inwardly, could it be that he had to go through it all over again to be over?
Suddenly, Yu Zhe seemed to think of something, rushed into the kitchen, raised a knife and stabbed himself, he held a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that he could escape here by committing suicide.
The result was obvious, and he failed again.
Reincarnation began again, and everything would continue, but this time Yu Zhe was completely desperate, he hid under the fish tank, closed his eyes tightly, and pressed his ears desperately, hoping that he could not hear Ji Xian's wail, but the sound seemed to be engraved in his heart, no matter how he blocked it, he could hear it clearly.
The time in the dream is equally long, tormented, helpless, and hopeless...... Countless emotions hit Yu Zhe's heart, and he even began to beg the non-existent god to take him out of here.
Gradually, all the sounds stopped, the surroundings became extremely quiet, and Yu Zhe seemed to return to that ethereal space.
He tentatively opened his eyes, and was greeted by the blue sky and the streets, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and those eight hours had finally been over.
But Yu Zhe knew that the dream was not over, it was just a change of scene, and he had to quickly figure out the date of the scene he was in and where he was now.
