Chapter 2: Illusions, Nightmares, and the Past

The familiar sound of "bang ......" made Mo Yu startled suddenly, and turned his head to stare at the basketball bouncing away, the whole person was like a deflated ball, relieved, and suddenly deeply bored. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The aftermath of basketball has stopped, but the scene last night unconsciously surged into Mo Yu's mind, lingering back and forth like silk threads, and finally became a mess that could not be unraveled, let alone pulled away.

Last night, he clearly saw that the girl's eyes were glowing green.

"Will there be such contact lenses?" Mo Yu felt more and more strange the more he thought about it.

Sunny days and rainy days, both from the picture and sound, give people two extreme feelings, on the way out of school on a sunny day, the overall feeling is a little lively, even if there are only a few students on the road.

"Did you find out? All the robbers were killed!"

"Is it damnation?"

"But the scratches ......"

"Those people have done all the bad things, there are monsters to clean them up, what's wrong. ”

"But in doing so, the monster also disrupted the order of human society. ”

"It's not that serious, but I don't know what the monster meant. ”

……

Along the way, Mo Yu followed behind them, still silent. With a thoughtful look, Yu Guang inadvertently searched for a shadow, and when he looked at it, it was the girl who was standing in the corner of the wall at some point, staring straight at the group of students, and then turned to look at him. The face was still calm as if it had no breath, and the eyes that looked at him were wide, too big, not like a human being.

"When we meet, we are fate. The girl finally spoke, and said lightly. The voice faded away, but the girl was still standing in front of him, all these unreasonable things happened in front of Mo Yu's eyes, he knew that this time it couldn't be a dream.

The classmates seemed to notice something, turned around one after another, and said loudly: "Mo Yu!"

Mo Yu suddenly came back to his senses, looked at his classmates, said "oh", hurriedly followed, and turned around again, the girl was gone, as if she had suddenly disappeared into the air, which made Mo Yu can't help but think of a terrifying scene - the girl walked over, there were no footprints.

"Listen, don't look her in the eye. Qing Cheng, who had always looked indifferent, suddenly spoke: "Especially at night." ”

"Huh?" Mo Yu looked at Qingcheng in disbelief: "You know each other?"

On this day, Mo Yu took another road, although it was farther, and it was very hard to walk.

He never imagined that he would go home with Qingcheng side by side, originally he was just to avoid seeing the scene yesterday.

"We don't know each other, but I've investigated the recent murder case, and after a week of investigation, I learned that the girl's name is Jiumeng, and she was originally a spiritual tanuki, but for some reason she turned into a human form and killed people everywhere. That Jiumeng's eyes are the same as cats, bronze during the day, and green light at night, but the difference is that her eyes are at night, which will make people who see the pupil hallucinate, and the day is not as scary as the night, but also beware. Qing Cheng was still expressionless, and said calmly with an indifferent expression. "So that's ......" Mo Yu's tone suddenly became heavy after hearing this. "So, there's one thing that requires your cooperation," Qingcheng said as he turned around. "What?!" he was startled, Mo Yu was gone.

"This guy ......" Qingcheng's patience with Mo Yu's personality is almost to the limit.

"Mo Yu, he's like this, sometimes he ignores people, you don't have to care, just let him go, anyway, he's not so unremarkable. Meng Ming said good things on the phone, with a smile on his face, Qingcheng was also a weird person, he hung up the phone without saying a word, and Meng Ming on the other end of the phone didn't know what his mood was at this time.

It's incredible that Meng Ming and Mo Yu can become friends...... Mo Yu, what kind of person are you...... Qingcheng always felt that Mo Yu was not like ordinary people.

It's quiet on the tree-lined paths.

"Mo Yu!" A sharp voice interrupted Mo Yu's thoughts, and Mo Yu turned his head, his expression almost white-eyed.

"I'm annoyed, what's the matter?" Mo Yu asked lazily with an absent-minded look.

"Mo Yu, this is the paper to be handed in tomorrow......" The moment the girl took out the test paper, she looked up and found that there was no one in front of her. "Scum!" the girl angrily threw the roll on the ground, stepped on it by the way, and walked straight away.

On the tree-lined path, I don't know when, the surrounding scenery began to stand still, and when it moved like a resurrection again, the sky had darkened, and the city in front of me was still the same city, but I always felt that some things had already changed, and there was nothing in front of me. "Illusion?" Mo Yu continued to walk, and in a small commercial house not far away, a plainly dressed boy of the same age as himself was holding a cat with a smile on his face.

The cat's eyes are almost the same, and I'm getting more and more out of shape...... Mo Yu thought to himself as he stared at the cat. When he was about to move away, he found that his body could no longer move.

"What?!" he was startled, and a sense of fear of falling into some trap intensified, a feeling that had been there since now, but he couldn't find the reason for the feeling, and it wasn't obvious yet, so he ignored it delusionally.

In desperation, he could only stand there, watching the boy and the tanuki, and let the sense of foreboding spread.

"My name is Tanuki Jiumeng, since the day I have the memory, I have no parents, walking alone on various roads, I can often see many people, cats, and family reunion scenes during the journey, and I, in a strange place, no one knows, I don't know where to go, in order to survive, wandering around, desperately, wandering in this world, if the dust that rises with the wind......" The girl's voice resounded in all directions, far away, cold...... These words surprised Mo Yu, who was becoming more and more chaotic, and it was the first time he heard the girl's expressionless face and almost empty eyes.

"The boy's name is Mengli, he called me a cat at first, and then he felt that I was not like an ordinary cat, more like his relatives, so he wanted to give me a name, and then called me Meng'er, and then he heard that cats have nine lives, so he wanted me to be by his side all the time, so he called me Jiumeng, my name, and his name has the same 'dream' word, he thought that 'nine' is not like a surname, and the name is not like a human name, thinking that I am a tanuki, thinking that there is a word in his name called 'Li', so he took the homonym and named me ' Tanuki Nine Dreams'. The girl suddenly appeared in front of Mo Yu and said lightly.

"Tanuki Jiumeng?'s name is good, then I'll call you Ah Jiu in the future!Ah Jiu...... It's a tanuki, right?Why did it become human, why did it become so mysterious, and what happened later, so I didn't see that boy......" Mo Yu's tone gradually became heavy, and he saw that the boy in the illusion in front of him seemed to have some disease, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he kept coughing, but he still forced a smile. Nine Dreams, who had turned into human form, remained silent outside the illusion.

"Jiumeng, thank you for being with me in the days when I am about to die, you are better than my parents, they threw me a lot of money, and since then I have left me alone, I have never been able to contact them, until today......" Mengli's voice was very gentle, and the tanuki was playing with the ball that Mengli gave it intently, but there were tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.

"Death and life are like leaves falling, it is a natural thing, but I still have too much reluctance and unwillingness, and I don't mean to be sleepy at all......" Meng Li's voice became softer and softer.

"If one day, I'm gone, Jiumeng, remember, leave me, just like before, in order to survive, go hard, even if there is no more me in this world, you have to take care of yourself and find your own way...... Also, you're too innocent, I'm really worried about you. Remember, people's hearts are sinister, not all people are like me, some are wrapped under the bright appearance, but a dark heart......" Mengli's voice did not fall, only to hear the sound of "pop!", a group of seemingly indiscreet people broke into the door.

"It seems that it is really as I expected, there is only a sick dog and a wild cat in the house!" One of the dog-like people walked out of the group, it should be the boss of the group of thieves, he smiled darkly, and turned his gaze to Meng Li with a mocking face: "It has been rumored that the owner of this family has only one child, but I didn't expect that if this is the case, your parents are even more stupid than I imagined, they are as stupid as pigs! Isn't it tantamount to pushing you to the tiger's mouth if you leave a fortune and leave?" Meng Li hugged Jiumeng tightly, glared angrily at the group of hopelessly depraved people in front of him, and was silent.

"Eh, this tanuki is good! I like it!" With the sound of this sharp voice, a very pretentious bad girl walked out with a wicked smile, and the moment she approached Meng Li, she dragged Jiumeng hard, Meng Li looked at the ruthless woman dragging Jiumeng's tail and didn't let go, and looked at Jiumeng struggling and screaming, he couldn't bear it, so he let go, he was afraid that if he didn't let go, the woman pulled it violently, and Jiumeng would die earlier than himself.

"Kitten, good girl~" The woman hugged Jiumeng very exaggeratedly, touching Jiumeng's body, Jiumeng's heart was ruthless, and she bit the woman's finger hard, the woman screamed "ah", the moment she let go, Jiumeng jumped down and was about to run towards Mengli, but the woman had already snuggled up to the boss skillfully, and her voice was very hypocritical: "Oh, it bullied me, you kill it, I want to eat cat meat! Otherwise, I don't want to live!" After the man heard this, he cut towards Jiumeng without saying a word! The moment the knife fell, Meng Li hugged Jiu Meng tightly......

Meng Li! Jiu Meng raised his head, and Meng Li had fallen in a pool of blood......

If I were human, Meng Li wouldn't have died for saving me, and if I had enough strength, even if I couldn't save Meng Li, I could have killed this group of sluts......! Meng Li is a very good person, God is too unfair to him, Meng Li is my benefactor, I owe him too much, but I can't do anything for him, I really, very useless......

It's the same end of the world...... I hate ...... I hate this world...... I'm not reconciled...... At that moment, Tanuki Jiumeng had too much resentment, too much resentment, resentment that destroyed everything......

That night, the room, which had been filled with warm light, had become dead silent. Blood spilled through the crack in the door of the room, along with the smell of blood......

The smell of death was pervasive in the house, corpses were covered in the floor, blood was already flowing, and the air with the strong smell of blood was suffocating.

Jiumeng stepped over the corpses of the bandits, walked up to Meng Li, squatted down gently, and closed Meng Li's eyes.

The ability to awaken due to a momentary obsession made Jiumeng dazed, and her mind was not blank, but instinctively escaped, and when she was getting farther and farther away from reality, the obsession of hatred blinded her eyes and enveloped her heart.

Why, I can kill people, but I can't save people, I ...... Is it dead...... But for some reason, I am still unwilling...... I was unwilling to die with resentment like this...... Why, I took revenge, but I couldn't let go......

Mengli, I became a humanoid, but, unexpectedly, the first thing I did after becoming a humanoid was to kill someone......

Mengli, do I look good now...... You...... Open your eyes...... Look at me...... All right......

Mengli, tell me, what should I do......

Mengli, do you know, I only believe you in the whole world...... You can't die......

At midnight, there are no stars and no moons, and the nightmare wakes up......
