In a dream.

This time, I didn't show up in that mysteriously dark hallway, and my body was still out of my control.

"I" couldn't see the situation around me clearly, only felt that there was thick black smoke all around, and "I" was in the corner of the tall brick wall, looking up at the sky, which was gray and couldn't see anything real, only to see circles of barbed wire intertwined like monster arms, as if to devour "me"......

The vibration of the phone rings.

I woke up in a daze and turned off my phone's alarm clock, 5:30.

This is what I set last night, after all, how can I rest easy when I sleep in a house where I am not welcomed, it is better to get up early.

Lately, I have been having strange dreams, and the feeling of dreams is getting clearer, and I rubbed my dizzy head from dreaming, and walked into the bathroom in my room, which was also very clean and elegant, as I expected.

I turned on the faucet, took a puddle of water, washed my face, and I was immediately refreshed.

Looking up at myself in the mirror: the neat ear-length short hair before was messy again, my face, which weighed less than eighty pounds, was thinner again, my original pale face was even more sickly, and my eye sockets were more sunken, like a vampire in a movie.

I smiled wryly, turned on the faucet, pulled it to the hot water, and washed up quickly, and washed my head by the way. Watching the hair that had just been blown up return to its original state made me feel better.

I walked out of the bathroom while towel-rubbing my wet hair. At this time, the vibration of the phone rang, and I picked it up and saw that it was a message sent to me by Mu Xuanqing.

I opened the message, and there was only one line on it: At 7:00, I will pick you up downstairs in the Harbin Mansion.

I had just given him an "oh" when the phone rang again, this time from the dorm boss. I answered the phone and whispered, "Hey......"

"Hey, Little Liu, where did you go, you didn't come back all night!" the boss on the other end of the phone roared.

“…… Eldest sister, I still need ears, I went to play with my high school classmates yesterday, and I didn't go back. I quickly whispered a story.

"Oh, that's it, it's good that you're okay, at first I thought you ran out to play games again, but I didn't see you back in the morning, so I quickly called you, you're fine. The boss said with relief.

Listening to her concern, my heart suddenly warmed a lot,

"Don't worry, I'm fine," I thought for a moment, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today, "Oh yes, boss, I'll give you a chance to thank me, wouldn't you?" I said deliberately teasingly.

"Don't talk nonsense about you! Who is rare, don't you have an elective class this morning, when will you be back? Do you still count if you promised me?" the boss said indignantly on the other end of the phone.

"Well, in fact, I don't plan to go back today, I'm worried that no one will take electives for me, since someone is not rare, I think it's okay, I'll find someone else......" I said in a tone of pretended regret.

"Hey, don't, don't, such an important class is of course the most reassuring for your own people, I'll go, I promise to complete the task!" the boss swore at the other end, not to mention how excited he was.

I forced a smile: "Well, comrade, this difficult task will be handed over to you!"

"Never let down the chief's expectations!" said the Boss, his tone resolute.

"Okay, don't be funny, the classroom is at 101, I'm hanging, I still have something to do here. I couldn't hold back my laughter, and I quickly hung up the phone, and then I seemed to hear the sound of the doorbell.

I thought it was Mu Xuanqing who was here, and I was just about to go out, but I felt that something was wrong, so I raised my hand and looked at my watch, it was only 6 o'clock.

Who could it be so early? I quietly opened the bedroom door and looked out.

At this time, Xiao Ruyue's aunt, Xiao Li, walked over quickly to open the door.

Through the crack in the door, I saw that she was still wearing the red cheongsam, but her hair was not draped around her waist, but was pulled into a beautiful bun, and a jasper hairpin was inserted on it. There is also a slight powder on the face, which is a little less lazy and more capable than last night.

She opened the door, only to see about four or five people coming in from outside, they were dressed differently, hiding in the crack of the door, I couldn't really see their faces, only vaguely saw that the leader was a middle-aged man with a full face of meat.

The middle-aged man had a flat head, a yellow jacket on his upper body, camouflage pants on his lower body, and a bulging belly, looking like a contractor on a construction site, with a pair of triangular eyes that were indescribably obscene.

At this moment, he was talking to Xiao Li about something, but unfortunately the voice was too quiet, I really couldn't hear it clearly, and I only vaguely heard words like "business and cooperation".

At this moment, the obscene middle-aged man suddenly shut up, turned his head violently, and looked in my direction with a pair of triangular eyes like searchlights. I was so worried that I quickly dodged the crack in the door and hid in the corner.

After a while, I seemed to hear footsteps, and then the sound of the door closing, and the silence returned outside.

I closed the door gently, squatted down at the door and listened, and only after making sure that Xiao Li's wife did not notice me did I walk back to my room and sit on the wicker chair in front of the window.

Who are these people? Who came to the Xiao family so early to talk about business? What kind of business is so urgent? I shook my head vigorously, although my heart was full of doubts at the moment, but I didn't have time to think about these things at the moment, because there were more important things to do today.

Ever since I got involved in all of this, I feel like my brain cells are clearly not enough. Since I can't figure it out, I just don't think about it. I opened the e-book on the phone, flipped out the book "Devil's Feast" that I had downloaded on my phone early and read it, and thought: Grinding the gun in battle, it's not fast.

The time to read a book always flies. Mu Xuanqing's punctual call rescued me from the book that made me creep.

I endured the chill in my heart as I picked up his phone: "Hey......"

"Come down, let's go. Mu Xuanqing simply spit out six words and hung up the phone, but in his voice, I heard a hint of hoarseness.

I pushed open the door, and Xiao Ruyue was standing at my door at this time. She and I were stunned for a moment, but she first came to her senses and smiled slightly: "It's quite early." ”

I nodded, continued to play the role of a pretending criminal, and said expressionlessly: "Xiao ...... No, Sister Xiaoyue, I'm leaving. ”

I guess she felt a little funny when she looked at me like this, the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and while pulling me out of the passage of the bedroom area, she said, "Don't worry, let's go after eating?" Xiao Ruyue saw that I was so determined, and she was not reluctant, and after telling me to be careful, she gave me a look and sent me out of the door.

Out of the gate of Xiao's house, my whole body was like a deflated ball, and I finally relaxed.

After taking a few deep breaths, I adjusted my mood and went downstairs to find Mu Xuanqing.

When I got downstairs, I saw Mu Xuanqing's not solid but tall figure walking towards me quickly.

"How's the rest?" Mu Xuanqing asked lightly,

“…… Not very well," I asked, rubbing my temples, "why did you leave me there?"

I saw that Mu Xuanqing had become that strategizing again, and smiled elegantly: "This is called a strategy, you don't understand." "This forced him to pretend, it was just dazzling.

"Are you using me as bait?" I glared at him, hatefully.

"Useful people are used. He said nonchalantly.

I glared at him fiercely: "Congratulations, you made it." ”

Mu Xuanqing stopped, his eyes lit up: "Oh?

I resisted the urge to cut him, and said angrily, "That's how it ......."
