Episode 1 Shadow
Junluo wants to escape.
Against a black background, the sky was filled with desolation turned into despair.
It suffocated him.
So he wants to flee, desperately to flee.
But there are so many shadows behind him, so many that people are afraid.
They wrapped around his feet, bound his hands, and left him in a state of endless despair.
The shadows shaved open his body.
His arms, his chest, his head.
They poured the pain of the whole world into him.
Those cries, those screams, those loneliness in despair.
He wants to struggle, he wants to release, he wants to ......
Ruined it all!
When everything went according to his wishes.
When everything truly turns to ashes.
In his world,
There was only one black sun left.
*******************************************************************************
"Hey, hey! Don't sleep! It's class!"
The call of the same table saved Junluo back to reality, he wiped the sweat from his head, and lay on the table and let out a long sigh.
seems to be rejoicing, glad that he is still in the world.
"What's wrong with you, young man, your face is not quite right."
The concerned ridicule of his table mates came into his ears, to which he only responded with a smile and said:
"It's fine, it's just another nightmare."
"This donor, seeing that your Yin Hall is black, I'm afraid that it is haunted by evil things! In this way, the poor road will charge you 200 yuan, and he will do it for you here to exorcise evil spirits, and make you eat it fragrantly, and your body will be great, how about it? ”
"First of all, if I want to exorcise evil spirits, I must drive you away, and secondly, does eating Ma Ma Xiang have anything to do with my nightmares?"
Jun Luo thought that the other party would fight back as usual, but Luo Lin, who was at the same table, just stared at the front seriously. Following his gaze, the teacher had already stared at him Junluo. He was the only one in the classroom at the University who was talking.
Oops, it's been pitted.
Junluo's head fell into the book, and he wanted to think about it in order to show his sincerity.
Although he was put aside, what appeared in Jun Luo's heart was a faint warmth, and only in such an environment did he feel that he was really living.
Far happier than in my dreams......
In fact, Junluo's nightmare history has been going on for a year, and since his parents sent him to study in a different place a year ago, Junluo's nightmare has never stopped.
A little bit of pitch blackness, a hint of despair, these things have almost taken over his nights for the past year.
It's just the first time it's as real and profound as it is today.
Seems...... The things in the dream are getting closer.
Thinking of this, Jun Luo couldn't help but slap a spirit, and of course attracted the teacher's strange gaze.
Jun Luo took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to spit out the palpitations out of his mind.
Junluo comes from a peculiar family.
A year ago, his parents sent him here alone for unknown reasons, and his parents themselves have not been heard from. It's just a regular payment to his card for living expenses.
Junluo's neighborhood is not far from the school, but not much closer, and his parents bought him a one-story villa there. Although the price is not too expensive, it is not much cheaper.
In Junluo's impression, his parents are busy company managers, and this time he is estimated to have taken over some big business, and he has no time to take care of him, so he is still in his third year of high school.
He's used to it.
I remember that when he was a child, he almost never saw his parents, and he always switched places between his grandmother's house and his grandmother's house. I remember the first time I met those two men when he was about six years old, and he was just starting to remember, so he was very impressed by that afternoon.
The man in the suit and the woman in casual clothes looked at him hiding behind his grandmother with a strange look. They gave him countless delicacies. For him at the time, snacks were almost king. So he completely fell into the warm touch of these two "strangers".
At this time, he used his little brain to think: It would be nice if my parents were like them!
So when Grandma announced the results, he was completely stunned, and an indescribable sense of illusion washed over his brain.
It turns out that he also has parents, it turns out that he also has someone who wants, and it turns out that he also has his own home
When he was hugged by the woman, he suddenly realized that this was his mother, and this was what he had always wanted...... Affection.
After that, he lived in his parents' house until he was sixteen years old, during which time his parents often went out, as short as a month or two, and as long as a year or two. Junluo, who grew up under such unreliable parents, has developed a strong ability to take care of himself. So when his parents sent him alone to study in a different place, he also accepted it calmly.
He thought he could take care of everything, and it would be better to wait for those two unreliable guys to take him back, or simply live here with him.
But the continuous nightmares were beyond his expectations, and he had to endure wordless pain every time he fell asleep.
He couldn't explain the problem and didn't bother to go to a psychiatrist, so he had to credit some of the insecure reflections of autism when he lived alone.
Fortunately, the nightmare only affected his spirit and did not have much of a real impact on his life. So Junluo felt that his forbearance should be over, and when those two unreliable parents came back, he should be able to recover.
As the clock in the classroom clattered to half-past nine, the school bell rang on time, and the school monster began to spit out the students it had digested for the day.
The January snow was rudely trampled on, and immediately turned a dirty brown, no longer holy a few minutes ago.
Junluo and Luo Lin were also among the stampeders, walking leisurely, laughing and turning the clumps of snow into puddles of sewage.
"Before I knew it, it was New Year's Eve, and if I didn't look at the calendar, I thought it was still 2071."
"All evil schools, there is no holiday on New Year's Eve, my New Year's Eve party..."
"What's the New Year's Eve holiday, don't you stare at the New Year's Eve party at home?"
"As long as I make sure that I can get the first place in the class in the final exam, they can't say anything about me."
"Is the nature of the school bully leaking out again......
“……”
The conversation between the two continued until they separated, Luo Lin had already arrived at the door of the house, and Jun Luo still had to walk a few hundred meters.
This is also the few hundred meters that Jun Luo hates the most, there are no street lights in the dark alleys, maybe it is because they are about to be demolished, and there is no light coming out of the abandoned houses on both sides. In other words, there is no lighting on this stretch of the road, and the only source of light is either moonlight or the neon-lit night sky. And this faint light is not very useful for illumination.
Junluo turned on the flashlight function on his phone, listening to his footsteps echoing in the alley with the sound of his heartbeat.
Junluo found this alley about half a year ago, when he didn't catch the bus, almost late, and then walked in here in a panic in line with the principle of the shortest straight line between two points, and found that this treasure can actually shorten the journey by half an hour, and save six yuan a day round trip fare, so Junluo happily embarked on this road, and rain or shine, a walk is half a year. In half a year, Junluo has not met any fellow travelers, whether it is morning or night, Junluo will certainly not be scared to leave because the alley is too dark. Only tonight, something is different.
Because this alley, which has only been walked by Junluo alone for 10,000 years, welcomed a second guest.
This road is no longer exclusive to Junluo.
Junluo listened to the footsteps coming from the darkness, the footsteps were not fast, but they were approaching at an extremely fast speed, Junluo couldn't help but point the flashlight at the back, guessing if it was a drunk who walked in here by mistake.
Just as Junluo's brain was making up what kind of person would come out of the shadows, something unexpected appeared.
It's not something, or something that doesn't have any form, it's a sound—a song.
The male voice sang strange notes tactfully, sometimes high, sometimes low, without accompaniment, but Junluo heard a sound between the drum and the piano.
The song struck his heart again and again, so fierce and heavy, but quietly penetrated into his heart, so calm and serene.
Junluo's consciousness blurred at that moment, and the scenery in front of him slowly faded away like an oil painting splashed with water. Instead, it was something from his dreams.
From the black background, in the terrifying darkness, countless shadows appeared, some of them moving along the ground, some even gliding in mid-air. No matter what form they have, no matter what posture they have, they have only one goal, and that is Junluo, who stands still.
At that moment, Jun Luo's first reaction was to turn around and run, but his limbs were as uncontrollable as numb, and he could only let those black things devour him.
The moment he came into contact with those shadows, countless pictures and countless voices emerged from Junluo's mind.
The boundless despair, the endless suffering, the rootless loneliness.
So many voices, so many shouts, so many weepings, so many wails, all melted into one sentence:
[Wen Yin, don't go, we're all hungry! 】
The voice was like a pious prayer, like a rude cry, like a bitter plea. It echoed again and again in Junluo's mind.
Why! Why me! Why should I bear your pain!
"Let Me Go !!"
A cry came from Junluo's mouth, and the boy seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he sat on the ground panting, like a soldier who had just experienced a great battle.
Disappearing with the shouts was the black dream, and the black despair in the dream.
The dream passed away like it came, without a trace but shockingly.
As Junluo was about to calm down, the strange singing voice came out from the dark part of the alley again, accompanied by those black shadows.
This time Junluo didn't stay where he was, he turned around and ran in the opposite direction, he didn't care about the mobile phone on the ground, he didn't care about the shoes that should fall off for the violent running, Junluo just wanted to run faster, only by running faster could he get rid of those shadows, he could get rid of those songs, he could ...... Get rid of those fears.
But why, when he saw those shadows, it was as if he saw their anger, their madness, and without exception, their deep ...... Sad.
How painful it was, as if abandoned by the whole world.
Jun Luo turned his head and continued to run wildly, thinking that he was probably scared stupid, and actually went back to sympathize with those monsters.
Only monsters would sympathize with monsters.
"Ahh
The sharp stone pierced Junluo's right foot, which ran off his shoe, didn't feel pain at first, and after running a few steps, the pain was transmitted to his brain along the nerve center.
But Junluo didn't dare to stop, he held on to the wall with difficulty, and escaped step by step with his left foot.
But his speed was no longer sustainable.
The singing behind him was getting closer, and he estimated that the shadows were getting closer and closer. But he didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that when he looked back, he would see a terrible scene like hell.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Junluo's heavy gasps could not suppress the approaching song, nor could it suppress the growing fear in his heart and the voices that bubbled up in his heart.
No...... No...... I don't want to go back in time!
Jun Luo jumped over a corner with one foot suddenly, and what he saw next changed his life.
It was a pair of golden eyes, beautiful and not like a mortal thing.
The moment he saw those golden eyes, Jun Luo felt as if the whole world had changed, the whole world no longer existed, those songs, those shadows, all disappeared with that world, and it was as if they had never appeared.
Junluo feels ...... Seems to be awake. It seems that everything that has just happened is fake—the song, the shadow. The only thing that is true is that he ran wildly in this dark alley in a panic for several minutes, losing his shoes and injuring his feet.
Before Junluo could react, the owner of the pair of golden eyes fell directly into his arms.
Junluo realized that the other party was in the same posture of running against the wall as he did before, but he was not as embarrassed as him, and he didn't even have his shoes, but running against the wall showed that the other party was very weak.
Jun Luo took a closer look, and it seemed that she was still a beautiful woman in her arms, spitting out vague Chinese in her mouth:
"Help me ......"
Then the beautiful woman closed her beautiful golden eyes and fainted as if she were asleep.
Please, I'm the one who wants to get dizzy in this case.
Jun Luo sat on the ground while complaining, digesting this frightening night.
