Chapter 8: Nightmares
Dark.
Lin Lexuan stood alone in the wilderness, surrounded by pitch black, only a thin white light flickering in the distance.
He groped his way to the light, and when he came to the light, he found it was a door. White light came out of the door, and there seemed to be endless light in it.
He eagerly opened the door and stepped inside.
The bright sunlight shone on the hut, and he couldn't open his eyes. The golden sunlight was scattered all over the place, but he didn't feel the slightest warmth on his body.
He tried to open his eyes, trying to get used to the sunlight, but the sunlight became more and more dazzling, and at last it seemed as if it was going to burn his eyeballs. He roared in pain and pressed his palms into the ground, making a crackling sound of water.
Wait a minute...... How can a palm slap on the ground make such a sound?
He hurriedly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking.
He was kneeling in a pool of blood, viscous black blood soaking his entire palm.
The blazing sun slowly faded, and the dull thunder rang out, shaking his eardrums. Immediately afterward, large drops of rain fell from the sky, as if they were about to drown him.
The rain became heavier and heavier, crushing the roof of the hut. Everything in the house was washed away by the heavy rain, and the white sheets, beige sheets, and white pillows filled with eiderdown fell to the floor, stained with muddy water.
He staggered out of the hut and continued with difficulty in the muddy water. He looked at the blood stains that had solidified in his palms, and raised his hands, wanting the heavy rain to wash away the blood stains in his hands.
At that moment, his gaze stumbled forward, and he saw something that stopped his heartbeat.
A wooden stake stood not far away, and the lonely and helpless Xie Wanshu was tied to it, crying hoarsely for help.
His eyes were red, and he rushed to her side desperately, frantically untying the rope that bound her. But the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain seemed to be so slippery that he couldn't hold on to the rope at all. And the heavy rain blocked his vision, so that he couldn't even see the girl in front of him.
"You can't save her."
A voice came suddenly, and he jerked his head back, and a scar-faced face stood behind him, still holding the big knife of that night.
"Then I'll kill you first, and then I'll save her!"
Lin Lexuan roared, the flames of his hands soared, and the extremely compressed bright yellow flames shot out from his hands!
The six offerings did not dodge, and the flames slammed down on him, burning him into a huge torch.
"No matter what you do, you can't save her. And it can't be erased, the fact that you killed her. ”
The flame-covered Six Offerings spoke quietly, and his body was gradually completely engulfed by the flames, turning into a pile of gray-black ashes powder.
"Liars ......"
Lin Lexuan gritted his teeth, and was about to turn around and continue to untie the rope on the girl's body. But as he turned back, his pupils contracted sharply.
A long, glittering knife stabbed into the girl's chest, blood gushing out of her chest, and the person holding the hilt was herself.
"No...... These are all dreams......"
He let go of the handle of the knife weakly, and his knees went limp, and he fell to his knees.
"Lexuan, forget about my ......"
Xie Wanshu's lips twitched, the light in her eyes dimmed, and she slowly lowered her head.
The girl's body fell into his arms, Lin Lexuan hugged her body, looked up at the pouring rain, and showed a trace of bitter sadness in his eyes.
"Bloody Rain ......"
Looking at the blood-colored sky, he finally understood why the rain had become so slippery. He wiped the blood drops off his face and stared at the body of the girl in his arms, leaving a few tears mixed with blood in his eyes.
"Do you think I killed you?"
Lin Lexuan's eyes were full of indescribable desolation, he whispered to himself and kissed the girl's cold forehead.
"Yes."
Suddenly, Xie Wanshu, who was already cold in her arms, opened her eyes without warning, and the knife in her chest suddenly flipped over, piercing Lin Lexuan's chest fiercely-
"Whew!"
Lin Lexuan opened his eyes violently, sweating profusely. He gasped for breath and looked around.
"Ding-dong."
Hearing this, he suddenly turned his head and only heard the radio above his head:
"Ladies and gentlemen, our plane will land at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport in half an hour, please adjust your seat to a normal angle, turn off all electronic devices, and the temperature outside the plane is ...... at this time"
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Muhan, who was sitting in the middle, patted him suspiciously and said, "You slept well just now." ”
"It's fine."
Lin Lexuan let out a sigh, he wiped the sweat off his head and leaned back in his chair.
"We'll be there in a moment. Are you okay? Lin Xiangyu poked his head out from the other side of the seat, looked at him and asked.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Lin Lexuan let out a heavy breath, he closed his eyes again, concentrated, and entered the consciousness space.
But the moment he just stepped into the consciousness space, his expression was completely solemn.
"How so?!"
……………………………………………………
In his consciousness space, wisps of black gas wafted in the originally clean and dry air, and several huge marble pillars were covered with a layer of viscous black liquid, enveloping the originally warm and bright room with a faint layer of dead air.
When he looked up, he saw that the black air mass that had once hung from the ceiling had more than doubled in size, and had even begun to form a vague figure.
"What the hell is this?"
Lin Lexuan opened his hands in anger, and the fire rushed out of his hands, burning suddenly towards the vague human form!
However, the black figure flashed, and the black gas behind him collided with the flames, making a sizzling sound like concentrated sulfuric acid splashing on the ground. The black aura dissipated like snow, but the figure was unharmed.
Lin Lexuan's expression became more and more solemn, and with a wave of his hands, a strong blue light flickered around the figure, imprisoning its body. The bright yellow flames erupted again, and an orange-yellow fire dragon formed out of thin air, rushing towards the black figure imprisoned in mid-air with teeth and claws!
And at this moment-
The figure suddenly escaped, and the black qi that had lost its body broke through the blockade of the blue light without any sluggishness, and escaped the fire dragon attack that Lin Lexuan was determined to win!
Sting!
The huge fire dragon tore a huge hole in the black gas, Lin Lexuan's palm turned, and the fire dragon turned over in the black gas, continuing to strangle the black gas on the ceiling.
"The black gas seems to be sticky, and it's a lot tougher than the last time I came in."
Lin Lexuan clenched his teeth, his legs were transparent again, and the flames in his hands skyrocketed, frantically injecting into the fire dragon!
The huge fire dragon desperately strangled the black qi, but as it spent more and more time in the black mist, a trace of black qi slowly seeped into the fire dragon's body. Soon, Yan Long's originally bright body slowly dimmed, and black lines seemed to gradually float around his body. It wailed, and its massive body began to slow down!
"Hell!"
Lin Lexuan was furious, he already felt that Yan Long's connection with him was getting weaker and weaker. With his palms together, his body soared into the sky under the flickering blue light, rushing into the dark air like a fire god!
The black qi retreated, the flames swept around him, a large area of black qi dissipated, and the ceiling was instantly cleared out of an open space by him!
His figure suddenly turned, and he rushed straight towards the flame dragon that was already tightly wrapped around his body with black magic patterns! The surrounding black qi retreated wildly, and he was defeated and retreated!
However, no matter how bright the sun was, there were times when it was extinguished by snow, and the black qi gathered around him became thicker and thicker, and the speed of the forward rush became slower and slower. Slowly, the black qi gradually blocked his way forward!
And at this moment, the black qi behind him parted a path, and a figure slowly walked out of the black mist, holding a black spear condensed from the black qi in his hand.
"What are you? Am I clean after defeating you? ”
Lin Lexuan noticed the anomaly behind him, he turned around and looked at the black figure behind him mockingly.
The rest of the shadow's body faded a little, and as the rest of it faded, its face blurred features. It opened its mouth slowly, and said in an unusually stiff voice:
"Ready...... Let me...... Reception...... Are you conscious? ”
"You can even speak."
Lin Lexuan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Just because you still want to receive my consciousness?" Dream on. ”
The black shadow's expression did not change at all, it raised the black spear in its hand and aimed it at Lin Lexuan.
"Wait."
At this time, Lin Lexuan suddenly raised his head and asked at the black shadow, "There is one thing I don't understand. ”
The dark shadow's expression seemed to be a little surprised, and it stiffened its mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"You didn't seem to be that strong when I came in yesterday, why did you suddenly become like this today?"
Lin Lexuan's expression was solemn, and he asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
"Because there's a flaw in your heart."
The dark shadow replied, gesturing to the small hole in the ceiling.
Lin Lexuan looked up along the black shadow's fingers, and his eyes changed.
The small hole in the ceiling was almost twice as large as before, and there were deep cracks around the small hole, and from time to time, a few traces of black gas leaked out of the cracks.
"Is it because of the dream you just had?"
Looking at the deteriorating situation on the ceiling, Lin Lexuan's pupils contracted, and he thought with a gloomy expression.
At this time, the black shadow had stopped talking, its facial features disappeared, and the black spear suddenly rose and rushed towards Lin Lexuan!
But Lin Lexuan looked at the black figure galloping over, he lowered his head and sneered, clenched his fists, and roared angrily in the sky:
"Yanlong, explode!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yan Dragon, who could no longer hold on, suddenly let out a crazy roar, and immediately, a deafening loud bang came, and its huge body exploded in midair!
The powerful shock wave tore apart all the black qi around Yan Long, the ceiling of the room made an overwhelming cracking sound, and the marble pillar closest to it was knocked down by the explosion, and even the black shadow that rushed towards Lin Lexuan was shaken unstable by the powerful impact, and the black qi all over his body became thinner!
"Hell !!"
Lin Lexuan's mouth and nose overflowed with blood at the same time. Yan Long's self-detonation didn't have any effect on him, every stone pillar that fell in his consciousness space meant that his spirit had been greatly shocked.
He endured the sharp pain in his brain, the flames blazing, and he increased his speed to the limit, and the cyan compression wind blade rushed out from all around the black shadow, tearing its body apart!
Then, a blazing flame followed, completely burning it to ashes!
But just as Lin Lexuan rushed through the black shadow's body-
Part of the black qi that spread in the black shadow broke through his defenses and stuck to his body.
At this moment-
Cold, evil, violent, hateful.
This feeling that seemed to destroy everything almost broke the mental defense line in his mind!
And just before he was almost lost, the black qi attached to his body was burned into a wisp of green smoke by the surrounding flames! His expression was clear, and he desperately broke through the encirclement of the black qi and slammed into the ground like a meteorite!
He crackled and rolled on the ground a few times, defusing the impact of the rush to the ground. He wiped the blood from his face and looked at the black gas that had condensed again on the ceiling, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes.
The black air mass is still there, but it has been reduced in size by half.
Lin Lexuan spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, and said in a cold voice: "To this extent, you still want to receive my consciousness? ”
The black air mass floated silently on the ceiling, silent. The air in the hut returned to its former warm appearance. His gaze swept over the marble pillar that had collapsed in the fire dragon's self-explosion, and he shook his head.
"I really want to get rid of all this dirty stuff sooner...... It's a pity that I don't have the strength now. ”
Looking at his near-transparent body, he sighed and withdrew from the space of consciousness.
………………………………………………
Lin Lexuan slowly opened his eyes. I saw that Lin Muhan was wiping something on his face, and the ordinary travelers around him were looking at him worriedly and surprised.
"What are you doing?"
He pushed Lin Muhan away, he touched his face, and there was a trace of bright red blood on his palm.
"You just started to have a nosebleed that you can't stop. So you don't wake up, what's wrong? ”
Lin Muhan and Lin Xiangyu were both looking at him and asked with some concern.
"Sir, do you need medical help?"
At this time, a beautiful flight attendant came to him and asked with concern.
He picked up the warm towel sent by the flight attendant, wiped his face, and smiled at the flight attendant: "It's okay, maybe I'm not used to flying, this is the first time I've taken it." ”
The stewardess showed a knowing smile and said, "Okay sir, you can ring the bell if you need anything." ”
Lin Lexuan nodded to her, while Lin Muhan next to him looked at him and asked in a solemn voice, "What happened to you just now, don't use the set of words you just said to the flight attendant to prevaricate me." ”
Lin Xiangyu also poked his head out from the side and looked at him with concern.
"It's really fine."
Lin Lexuan smiled, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes: "It's just a nightmare." ”
The eyes of the two were full of suspicion, but just as they were about to continue asking, a sudden tremor was heard from the feet of several people, and then, the radio sounded in the cabin:
"Ladies and gentlemen, our plane has successfully landed at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport. The plane will taxi for a certain distance, during this time, please sit in your seat, keep your mobile phone off, do not unbuckle your seat belt, thank you for your cooperation, and welcome to continue to fly China Eastern Airlines next time. ”
Listening to the radio begin to repeat the above passage in English, the three of them glanced at each other, and a solemn light flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"We're here."
