Chapter Twenty-Five: The Law of the Protagonist's Death! (2)
…… In the dark, the back of Lin Sanjiu's head was faintly aching from something, and it had been a long time. She was so sleepy that she didn't want to move, so she just rolled over in a daze.
The next second, she sat up from her dream and gasped for air.
Lin Sanjiu looked down at his trembling hand - dead? I'm dead? All dead? - She looked back in a daze, and found Marser and Luzer sleeping side by side on the ground not far away, both of them frowning, as if they were having some nightmare. Although they still haven't woken up, their chests are proving that they are all alive and well.
So, was it a dream just now......? Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground, still feeling that his hands and feet were cold and weak. The moment he died, the moment the bones and internal organs of his body were crushed, the moment he slipped into an endless darkness, the pain that was almost unreal...... She shuddered fiercely, are these all dreams?
She got up, opened the door, and stepped out of the car. She desperately needed some fresh air right now to clear her mind......
As soon as I stepped on the ground outside the car, suddenly a piercing "You are my little apple" rang out violently, tearing through the night.
Lin Sanjiu's body paused. I heard it again, just like last time...... No, I guess it's like in a dream.
The noisy bell didn't ring for as long as it had been in a dream, but was quickly cut off after two lines of singing.
The night was once again dead silent.
Lin Sanjiu didn't move, quietly staring in the direction of Citroen.
After a long time, the voles still did not come out to wake them up.
Just as she was a little impatient and was about to walk over to take a look, she heard a low exclamation from the bus, and then Marser shouted, "Luze! Wine! ”
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly rushed back into the carriage, just at this time, Lu Ze also took a sharp breath of cold air, woke up, and sat up - the eyes of the three of them met in the air at once, and only then did they find that the faces of the others were all snow-white.
"I dreamed that we were all dead!"
Almost at the moment of eye contact, the three of them said in unison.
"Huh...... What's going on? Lu Ze was the first to react, "You also dreamed that you died?" ”
"It's not just ...... myself," Lin Sanjiu's face was gloomy, "I dreamed that all four of us died. Let's talk about your dreams first! ”
Just like the order of death, Lu Ze was the first to speak: "That dream just now is too real, isn't it?" I dreamed that we were driving to the factory area when suddenly a degenerate seed fell from the roof of the car, and it shattered the glass on the other side, all at once, all at once...... Just give my stomach ......."
He was pale, almost speechless.
"Huh? How so? In my dream, you were attacked by the Fallen Seed, and as a result, your truck took a bend and I crashed into it......" Marser looked frightened, his light brown pupils widened, and he stared at Luzer. "As a result, I was seriously injured, and I was struggling to climb out of the driver's seat, and—"
"Then there was an explosion and you died." When Lin Sanjiu interjected, he felt that he was covered in cold sweat.
"How do you know?"
"Because when this qiē happened, I was on the side......" Lin Sanjiu closed his eyes, as if returning to that moment: "After you died, my truck rushed backwards and crushed me and the vole...... It's like God is messing around, and he killed us all like that! ”
"What's going on...... Our dreams are connected? Luzer muttered to himself.
Marser and Lin Sanjiu frowned, and they had nothing to say for a while. Just when the atmosphere was stagnant between several people, the voice of a vole sounded at the car door: "...... Is everybody up? ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Lin Sanjiu felt that there seemed to be a hint of trembling in his voice.
Could it be that he had the same dream?
As if to confirm the thoughts of the three of them, the vole poked his head into the head with a nervous face and said, "If I tell me something, don't scold me." I just ...... Dream that we are all dead. Don't say I'm unlucky, but let's really be careful today, that dream is too realistic! Hey, what's wrong with you, why are you all looking at me with this expression? ”
Lin Sanjiu only felt that she had a splitting headache, and she beckoned to the vole, "We too...... Come in, looks like we're going to have to take care of this. ”
The vole let out an "oh" and got into the car, and the four of them sat in a circle.
…… It seems clear that for some unknown reason, the four of them have shared a dream - and amazingly, although the time of death comes first, the details of each dream's dream can be perfectly matched.
For example, the bang that Marser heard was probably from the degenerate seed that killed Luzer - that degenerate seed must have run all the way from the roof of the bus to the roof of the truck, and then launched an attack on Luzer - even Lin Sanjiu was hungry halfway through and ate a cookie, or the joke that the vole told Luze, everywhere, was corroborated by each other.
Listening to the heated discussion of the three people, Lin Sanjiu, who was puzzled, raised his head depressedly, exhaled, and then was stunned.
"Wait......!"
"What's wrong?" All three looked at her in bewilderment. "Do you have any ideas?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Sanjiu asked a completely incompatible question: "Marcer, what time is this bus coming?" ”
Marser thought for a moment, "It seems like it's either 89 or 90, I can't remember, but it should be about the same." ”
“…… You see. Lin Sanjiu pointed to the route map hanging above the drop-off door.
The stop signs and routes on the route map are all gone, and the only thing is a large, bright red "2".
"Am I mistaken? Could it be that this is a 2-way car? Marser glanced at Lin Sanjiu in confusion, "However, is this important, Xiaojiu?" ”
Lin Sanjiu's eyes looked at the 2 for a long time, and suddenly jumped up and cursed: "I X!" ”
"What the hell is going on?" The other three asked.
"I just think this thing looks familiar! I remember! Lin Sanjiu said as he felt a piece of hair standing up on the back of his neck. I...... I've seen this thing in my dream. The only difference is that in the 'dream' it shows 3 instead of 2. ”
Her gaze swept over the faces of the three of them one by one, and her tone increased: "I've been in this city for several years, and I've never seen anything like this!" All the buses should be on the route map! That is, this number came later! ”
As if he had thought of something, Marser covered his mouth with a thud.
Lin Sanjiu's solemn voice seemed to be full of a thousand catties: "Don't you still understand? This shows that otherwise we are in a dream at the moment, or the matter of death is not a dream at all! ”
Lu Ze subconsciously pinched his arm, and he also reacted. "I'm 100% sure I'm not in a dream right now...... It's strange, if we really all died once, how could we still be okay now? ”
Lin Sanjiu was about to speak, but was attracted by the vole's somewhat deep voice.
"It's numbers, right...... The first time it was 3, we died, and then it became 2...... This is a countdown, right? That is, we have 2 more chances. ”
Since the four of them were together, it was the first time Lin Sanjiu had seen a vole like this. He hung his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but somehow, the atmosphere around him had an indescribable feeling......
She took a deep breath and said, "Actually, that's what I thought. ”
The air froze again, and everyone fell into deep thought.
"Is there a time limit for this thing?" Lu Ze crossed his arms and broke the silence first: "If there is, we just need to sit here and wait for its time limit to pass before we hit the road?" ”
Marser sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be that simple, right?" Anyway, what the hell is this...... Why is this happening......"
Before Marser could finish sighing, the vole suddenly interjected, and his tone was surprisingly firm: "I think it's definitely not okay to sit here." Who knows if there's a time limit for this? If we keep waiting, will something else happen? These are unknowns. However, the road we traveled last time and the dangers that would arise are already clear...... So I think it's better for us to be careful this time. ”
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but glance at the vole again.
No matter how many degenerate species have been killed, and what kind of danger they have escaped from death, one thing is self-evident nonsense: no one who is alive has ever died.
However, just now, Lin Sanjiu experienced a death—a death that was real, and his body and mind were completely gone. The impact of death is nothing like anything else in the world: it is the dark cloud that hangs over the head of human beings from the moment they are born, the ultimate horror that all wise men cannot avoid.
Even now, when he thinks back to the moment he died, Lin Sanjiu still can't help but tremble.
But the vole was able to analyze the situation so calmly...... She couldn't help but praise: "Vole, I really can't see that you can be so calm after experiencing something like that." ”
The vole that was praised by her instantly returned to its usual appearance, and said with a somewhat slippery smile: "Hey, a little person like me, I have a cheap life, and I can live until now I have earned it, how dare I be vulnerable?" ”
Lin Sanjiu retracted his gaze and didn't speak.
The vole's words quickly convinced everyone. Several people discussed for a while, and soon reached a consensus: this time, as the vole said, set off with extra care. Since they have already taken precautions, I think a few people will probably be safe this time, right?
