Chapter 388: The Gambler (34)

When it was dawn, I got up. Sitting under the window, gazing at the sky, not knowing what to think. Bai Xuanzhi then got up as well, saw me staring out blankly, and walked next to me, "So early, didn't you sleep well last night?" he asked with concern. I nodded, tilted my head and thought about it, and suddenly asked such a sentence: "Bai Xuanzhi, if one day I don't remember all the things and people, what will you do?" I don't know why I asked such a question, but I couldn't help myself, so I blurted out. He was stunned for a second, surveyed me for a long time, and even stared at me with strange eyes, and after looking at me for a long time, he looked at my serious face and felt a little funny. But he couldn't laugh too obviously, he just smiled slightly, "What can I do, I can only chase you to death." Somehow, when I heard his words, my heart was inexplicably moved. I closed my eyes and slowly lifted my eyelids, "I've been having a lot of nightmares in a row lately, terrible nightmares in which I almost forgot I existed. I don't know where I am, there are always gray pictures, thousands of gray pictures, and I am scared. Sometimes, I even forget who I am, am I sick?" I said with some concern, touching my forehead with my hand.

"When did these nightmares start? What else is out of the ordinary...... Did you find it?" he frowned, paused, and finished the rest of the sentence. His face was suspicious, and he said tentatively, "Have you seen anyone else, like a stranger you've never seen before?" Hearing him say this, I had some impressions, as if there was such a thing.

"Well, it seems to have ...... I've seen it a few times, and I heard a female voice, I can't hear it very clearly, it's confused, it seems to be there, but the female voice feels very familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere, but I just can't remember. Could it be that I'm going to be insane? I feel like I'm not very sick!How about I??, do you want to see a doctor?" I said with a sad face, as if I really had some serious illness. Bai Xuanzhi couldn't go back to my ridiculous question, so he just looked at me with a smile. Still, I saw a hint of uneasiness on his face. After half a ring, he said to me: "Don't think too much, maybe you've been under too much pressure lately, think about it day and night, just relax and sleep." I'll ask you about it, and he'll know what's going on. Bai Xuanzhi's words undoubtedly gave me a reassurance pill and made me feel cheerful.

Next, we went outside for some breakfast, and then walked to the Taiping intersection, wanting to learn the facts from Chen Cong about what he knew. From a distance, I saw Chen Cong leaning on a telephone pole and standing in a daze for a long time, because there was a big tree next to the telephone pole to cover the roof, Chen Cong did not have to be afraid of the sun, but he seemed to be a little dazed, looking ahead, as if someone had been here just now, I guess, it should be his brother Chen Miao who came.

When he saw us, he smiled lightly. He stared at his eyes in a daze, sometimes looking at his surroundings, and when he saw the two of us standing under the telephone pole in a daze, he couldn't help but look back curiously and forget a few glances and whisper. Seeing this, Bai Xuanzhi pulled me to the shade of the tree, pretending to be resting.

"Chen Cong, now can you tell us who the person you saw before you died?" Bai Xuanzhi asked directly, without the slightest tactfulness. At this time, Chen Cong looked at us, pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, and then looked at the depths of the Taiping intersection opposite, as if recalling some deep and huge pain. We don't force him, we leave him room to think. His eyes were involuntarily filled with tears, for a long time, they were not erased, looking at the expression in his eyes, with boundless desolation and sorrow, no one could guess what Chen Cong was thinking, what kind of thing made this seemingly underage teenager full of such pain. I watched intently as the mood on his face changed, and Bai Xuanzhi also looked at Chen Cong with a pair of eyes that were as soft as water. On the road, there were not many people coming and going, except for the occasional stranger or two who hurried by, they lowered their heads and showed frightened expressions, they couldn't look at this side, and went straight to the exit.

"I don't see people, I see ghosts. At that time, when I closed my eyes, a woman suddenly appeared in front of me, our doors and windows were locked, not to mention that in this case, my brother and I fell to the ground, and my father sat motionless at the dinner table with dull eyes, no matter how we shouted and struggled on the ground, he could not hear. The woman squatted down, a pair of eye-catching red shoes, she was wearing a red dress, she looked red all over, and even those eyes were so red that it was so penetrating. She told us that our father was to blame for all this, that he would pay for the sins he had done, and that we were just his victims. Then, she stood in front of us and watched my brother and I die in agony. When I closed my eyes, I heard her sarcastic laughter. I've met this woman a few times, it's the neighbor across the street upstairs, and she just moved in. She rarely greets her neighbors. Chen Cong blinked his eyes and described the situation word by word, but when he talked about this woman, he couldn't help but have a trace of hatred in his eyes. I understand this, no matter who mentions his enemy, he can't always be himself.

"Then do you know what the woman's name is?" Bai Xuanzhi asked Chen Cong, Chen Cong lowered his head, suddenly raised his head, and nodded at us, "I heard others call her Liu Hong." "Then we asked some questions, but he wasn't very clear. We don't want to stay here for long, because I see people passing by always looking back at us with unkind smiles. To be honest, it makes me feel very uncomfortable to see them smile like this. Their lips twitched, and they murmured something with a look of disdain or mockery. This makes me feel sad. We thanked Chen Cong and did not go in the direction of home, but went out of the intersection, got in the car, and got off at the entrance of the police station. When I got to the police station, I went directly to find Brother Yang. However, when I asked the other police officers, they said that Brother Yang and Uncle Meng were on sick leave today. Bai Xuanzhi and I glanced at each other knowingly and walked out of the police station.
