Chapter 13 Agreements

My lord......

My lord......

"Who!" I snapped my eyes open and found myself sitting on a meadow surrounded by darkness.

This should have been in my dream, I thought to myself. Since that was the case, I felt less scared and began to observe my surroundings.

It's been a long time since the last time I saw a dream like this, which was almost indistinguishable from reality. I touched the grass next to me, and it was wet, thirty centimeters long, so that I almost fell into the grass. I quickly stood up and patted the dust on my body, and sure enough, my clothes were a little wet with dew. It was quiet, not the slightest sound of insects and birds. The sky was tightly wrapped in black clouds, saying that it was night, but there was a hint of the sun being obscured by the clouds, which was a little boring. I don't know why, but I always feel that the qiē around me is covered with a layer of dust, just like the books in the library that have been placed for many years, full of the dust of history in the years when no one cares about them. I looked into the distance, and there was a faint blue-white phosphorescence burning at the end. Through the phosphorescent light, I saw a scene of a ruined rural countryside.

Somehow, when I saw this scene, I had a sense of déjà vu. Following the phosphorescent light, I walked cautiously and step by step.

My lord...... My lord......

The voice came again, near and far, erratic, like headphones with stereo surround sound, talking to my ear.

Let me go......

Let me go......

The sound was calling more and more often, and I was annoyed by the sound for no apparent reason. yelled: "You came out for me!" ”

When I shouted like that, the voice suddenly disappeared. I was trying to scare the man, who let him go wild in my dreams, but he just disappeared, and I was a little caught off guard. When I looked at the phosphorescent light in the distance again, the blue-white flames slammed into the ground and soared straight into the sky, then spurted in my direction at a very fast speed. The darkness around me was instantly illuminated by the light that made my eyes fall into temporary blindness, and I subconsciously took a few steps back. I couldn't see what was happening in front of me, but I could feel the phosphorescent light all around me.

"Your Excellency...... It's rude. "A woman's long voice came to my ears, so clear that the speaker should be right in front of me.

I slowly opened my eyes and slowly adjusted to the light in front of me. The flames were not as dazzling as they had just been, and gradually converged on the woman in front of them from all sides. She wore an antique dark red dress decorated with large red feathers, which looked like a pair of huge wings growing on her body. She fell to the ground, her long, straight black hair hanging down from her blood-red skirt, like a night rose blooming on the grass.

If I usually saw such a strange woman, I would be so frightened that I would run away without looking back. But since I experienced that dream in the North Building Hospital, I am no longer afraid of these demonic things.

"You...... What do you call me? ”

"My lord," she slowly looked up, covering the lower half of her face with her hands, revealing smiling eyes. These stunning eyes were surrounded by blood-stained scarlet marks, and the eyes were full of various expressions, whether respectful, contemptuous, or suspicious, making people unpredictable, "You don't remember me?" ”

I did have a strong sense of familiarity with this place when she asked me this, but my attention was focused on the lower half of the woman's face that she was covering with her hands. When I was a child, I watched many horror movies at home and abroad, and there was once a woman with only half a chin left and a bloody face that scared me so much that I didn't dare to touch horror movies anymore, and her current position is just the angle of covering her chin.

Seeing that I didn't answer, she slowly lowered her right hand covering her face. Luckily, what I saw wasn't what I imagined to be terrifying, but it was also unexpected. Under the wide sleeves, there was a baby who was still in swaddling clothes. When I looked closely, the child was not like any other normal baby, neither crying nor fussing, and his eyes were looking straight at me. The child's skin is grayish-white, without a trace of luster, and the black eyes of the eyes are huge and have no whites. And the swaddling clothes that wrapped the child were stained with patches of blood, as if they had just been made.

"Is this ......" I asked, dumbfounded, avoiding the baby's gaze.

"Can't you see it?" With another wave of her sleeve, the baby was gone, "It's just an illusion." Ever since I was eaten by an adult ten years ago, I haven't held a child again. She said with regret on her face, staring at me with that inscrutable gaze.

"Eaten?!" My stomach instantly felt overturned, and I don't remember eating anything like a female ghost.

"You have demons in you." She stood up softly, moved to my side in the blink of an eye, and whispered to my ear, "Your demon devoured me ten years ago. But I just happened to be attracted to that woman's resentment, and the real target should not be me. She smiled at me and walked around to my other side. You were a kid at the time, and if you were younger, you might have been taken away by me. With that, she let out a low but sustained laugh that sounded like a soft cry.

Ten years ago, the year my grandfather died, I saw this woman in a dream, when she had her back to me and disappeared unconsciously, but I didn't expect to be eaten by me.

"Why did you want me to come to this place?"

Hearing my question, she lifted her hand hanging on her chest and brushed the hair around her ear: "It's not that I asked you to come, but that you accepted my request and let me participate in your dreams." For ten years, I have been looking forward to this day day and night, and finally, I have come to your dream land as I wished, and this proves one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"You need me." She stared at me maliciously, "I can help you take the statue of the Bodhisattva Fudozun away." ”

Hearing her say that, I chuckled inwardly, how could she know what I was thinking.

She seemed to know the question in my heart, and then said, "I've been in your body for ten years, is there anything else I don't know?" But you have to promise me that after that, let me out. ”

"Wait," my mind was filled with a bunch of strange words, and I couldn't turn around. "You tell me what happened ten years ago first."

"My lord is really a noble person, and he forgets things." She paused and said, "I am the embodiment of the resentment of the dead mother for thousands of years, and when I put on my feathers, I turned into a bird, and when I took off my feathers, I am what I am now." Ten years ago, the woman died in childbirth, and the deep resentment attracted me to the long night, wanting to take her child and her soul that had been separated from her body. Someone was one step ahead of me, though, and she created the dream you entered later, and I just accidentally broke into it. When I first saw you, I knew that you were a special person, but I never thought that you had a demon in your body, and it devoured me and my whole dream. Because I did not resist, the power in your body did not digest me, but locked me in this dream. It wasn't until today that I had the opportunity to see you again. ”

She said that, and I still haven't figured out what's going on. But dreams are dreams after all, and I don't care if what she says is true or not, and I'll come back to reality when the morning dawns. It's just that these strange things happened to me and made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Didn't you see me in the elevator that day?" She grinned, her two bright red lips twitching upward.

It dawned on me that the black shadow I saw with rhino horn incense was actually her. Now I have to believe that what she said is credible.

"Let me go, I can help your friend."

"And what do you want me to do?"

"When you get there, prick your left palm and place it on the statue, and no one will see what you're doing. Of course, you also need to take it with you. ”

She stretched out her pale hand and put a feather down in my palm. "Take it, remember my words, and when it's done, please let me go."

With that, I felt a dizziness in my head, and the glowing phosphorus fire enveloped me once more. When I opened my eyes again, I was still lying on my bed, drenched in cold sweat.

I looked at my phone at the table, and it happened to be three o'clock in the morning. I stroked my chest and calmed down, thinking I was having a nightmare, but suddenly I felt something strange in my hand.

I turned on the bedside lamp and opened my hand to see a blood-red feather lying in my palm, like a bloody stain in my palm.
