29, Nightmare
As soon as the middle-aged woman left, the small kitchen was like a battle horn. Everything is on the verge of spiraling out of control and chaos.
Anker first yelled, "Damn, Aldo, that's your mother? Didn't you say your mother was already dead, so what is that woman, a ghost?"
Hoffa: "Chloe, how did you get to this house?"
Chloe: "You still ask me, I haven't asked you how you got mixed up with them?" she said with a rare hatred in her voice.
Anker: "It seems that you don't know anything about your companion, who is actually in the same league as us. ”
Chloe: "You think I'm going to listen to your!?"
Anker: "Hmph, Aldo, what are you waiting for? Help me get Le May under control first." ”
"That's enough!"
In this moment of chaos, it was Aldo who roared angrily, quieting the small restaurant, "We haven't left this island yet, by the way, this is my former home, you have to quarrel out." ”
I saw that his chest was heaving, his shoulders were trembling, and his mood seemed unstable.
After a moment of silence.
Aldo: "I have a hunch that if we don't understand the environment, we may never be able to get out. ”
"What are you talking about, Island?" Chloe asked Hoffa.
"Nightmares. Hoffa said suddenly.
"What?" Anker squinted coldly.
"Actually, we are not in any real place, nor in any time and space. Our spirits are trapped in a nightmare, and everything we see is an illusion. ”
"What about the evidence?" Anker asked.
Without saying a word, Hoffa pointed out the window, and everyone followed his finger to look at him, and everyone was stunned except Chloe.
Good fellow, everything outside the house has changed, and the strange and dangerous island of worms has now become a bustling street. Black carriages and cars shuttle through the streets at the same time, and some old but full of life residents appear on the roadside, and the atmosphere of peace and commerce is strong.
Hoffa: "There is no better explanation for this grotesque and changeable scene, the monsters that are completely out of order, and the magic that we have inexplicably disappeared, which is completely impossible in the real world. So, the only explanation is that we are in a dream that has been artificially woven. ”
Dreamland.
"Is it just a dream?"
Aldo breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's your dream, Aldo. Hoffa said.
"Me!?"
"Anker and I have no special fear of giant worms and arthropods, and you can still feel Lemay's presence, and here is the house you know best, this is not your dream, whose is it?"
"If it's really a nightmare, then why haven't we woken up after realizing it's a dream?" And ......"
Syllable!
Without warning, he slapped Aldo in the face.
Aldo covered his face and jumped three feet high, "What are you doing, bastard!?"
Anker: "Look, if it's a dream, why don't you wake up yet." ”
"He is the master of this dream, everything here is a projection of his spirit, but he must not be the source of the dream, of course it is useless for you to hit him. ”
"The source of dreams?"
"Yes, I remember that before I fell unconscious, there was a white mist on the sea, and there seemed to be a voice humming in my ear, and that voice was not one of you, and I think that the owner of the voice was the source of the dream. ”
"Listening to you say that, it seems that there is such a thing. But what is the source, what is the purpose....." Anker calmed down and fell into deep thought.
While all three were thinking, Chloe raised her arm:
"I... There's a catch. ”
Hoffa looked at her.
"When you say that, it's like you're on an island and you've encountered a lot of bugs. ”
"Yes. ”
"Then I thought, if this is really a dream, this should not be a beautiful dream, this should be a nightmare. ”
Hoffa: "It must have been a nightmare. ”
"If it's a nightmare, I haven't seen any bugs, and I've never experienced anything particularly terrible. From yesterday to now, everything has been calm. ”
Is it calm... Hoffa looked at Aldo, and saw that he was covered with his face covered, and his face was pale, very different from his usual irritable appearance.
"Hey, Aldo, isn't there something terrible that hasn't happened yet, in this house?"
Aldo, a spirit, seemed to remember something, and he jerked to his feet. At the same time, there was a sharp crisp sound outside the door.
Bang!!
The door was kicked open.
The woman who had left the house had gone and returned, only there was an additional man beside her, who was wearing a sweatshirt of indistinct color, and was standing in the doorway with a wine bottle, with a full beard and two patches of red on his face. Behind him, the sun was strong, and he looked very tall.
Aldo at the table trembled.
The drunken man drunkenly asked, "Where's Aldo, where's that little bastard!?"
"Berkeley, fuck off, I... I've cut ties with you!" the woman stood beside him, clutching his arm.
"Shut up, stinky bitch!"
The drunk knocked the woman to the ground with one arm: "You still want to protect him, I, Hiccup, I lost a watch, Aldo, did you steal it?"
He staggered into the house, "Stinky boy, let me ask you, did you steal my watch and sell it for money?"
The eyes of the three people in the room were focused on Aldo, and after Hoffa explained the dream theory to them, they all knew that all this was not real, but the nightmare of this man named Aldo.
"Are you dumb!?" the drunkard stood beside Aldo, spitting at Aldo, and reached for Aldo's collar, "Quick, give me back my things!"
"I... I've never taken anything from you, it's all you, and I lost it by gambling. Aldo's teeth chattered, and he said with difficulty.
"Lie!"
The drunk roared and tossed the bottle aside, "Are you laughing at my inferior skills, let me tell you, I've been winning for the past two days!"
He raised his right hand high and smashed it down. When the fist was only a centimeter away from Aldo's nose, he was violently pushed away, and the middle-aged woman stopped in front of him: "Aldo, quick... Let's go, get out of here. ”
Aldo stood up and stumbled back two steps.
Drunk: "It's all what you're used to, look at him, what he looks like now, he can already be a thief!"
"Enough, Berkeley, I took your watch!"
The woman screamed: "You have lost so many things, you have to stay for something, I have already sold the watch, I want you to go to the thrift market to find it!"
The drunken man trembled angrily, "Okay, okay, okay, you take my things, buy these foods, and entertain these worthless strangers!"
He slapped the woman in the face hard, knocking her more than a meter away and hitting the wall.
Hoffa's eyelids twitched, and Chloe covered her mouth violently, her eyes widening in horror. Anker leaned against the wall and prepared to slip out. Aldo cowered in the corner, not daring to move.
"When I was at home, you only gave me pickled cucumbers every day!"
The drunk picks up the bottle and smashes it on the woman's head.
"After Dorco next door rolls the sheets with you, you make him a sandwich!!"
The woman resisted screaming, and the force gradually escalated, and the wine bottle was smashed and replaced with a clay pot on the table, and after the clay pot was broken, it became a kitchen knife in the kitchen. After a while, the middle-aged woman fell in a pool of blood, unknown whether she was alive or dead.
Chloe stood up tremblingly, trying to stop her. Hofa grabbed her: "None of this is true, get out of here with me." ”
The drunk let go of the woman and staggered towards Aldo. As he walked, his body grew bigger and bigger, from 1.75 meters to 2 meters, then to 3 meters, and then to 4 meters, and he broke his clothes and broke the ceiling.
Aldo shuddered and drew his wand, he raised it flat, trying to cast the spell, but he couldn't even pronounce the spell.
"Aldo. Hoffa reminded him, "Don't be cranky. ”
His words didn't work, the man was getting bigger and bigger, and his muscles were even breaking through his skin. With a flick of his hand, he flipped the table off. Anker tried to slip away from the man, but was smashed back by his Roman pillar-like arm.
He fell to the ground and vomited blood and roared: "Aldo, what are you doing, don't think about it, let's get out of here first!!"
"Your existence is worthless, your life is meaningless!"
The giant drunkard roared, and countless giant worms poured out of his mouth. He became more and more hideous, more and more grotesque.
Hoffa tried to smash the window and escape with Chloe, but the room became so strong that the glass was a granite color, and everything was no longer measured by common sense.
The giant grabbed Anker, who was closest to him, first, and it pinched his head and opened its bloody jaws at him.
Anker grabbed the giant's fingers and kicked his legs in the air in a rage: "Aldo, bastard... How dare you do that to me!?"
Aldor, however, had already thrown away his wand and knelt down, hugging his head and crying in the corner of the living room, without the slightest hint of an adult wizard, fragile as a child.
They are in Aldo's nightmare and can't leave.
Chloe gritted her teeth and said to Hoffa, "I have a solution. ”
"What can you do?"
"You give me some time. She looked at Aldo and said.
"Are you sure?"
"Go!"
"I believe in your evil!
Hoffa cursed the nun in his mouth, but his movements were not ambiguous at all, he rolled up his sleeves and lifted the round wooden table in the corner, and shouted mockingly: "Hey, stupid big man!"
The giant holding up Anker looked over: "Who are you talking about?"
Countless insects fell from his mouth, and like rain, Hoffa held up the large round table to his head.
"Do you know where your wife's money is from selling her watches?"
"Huh, where?"
Hofa smiled evilly: "In the hotel, your wife used your money to open a room with someone else. ”
"Die!"
Rumble!!
The heart-piercing giant raised his hand and smashed the round table that Hoffa was holding. Hoffa rolled on the spot in embarrassment, dodging the irritable blow: "Maybe Durex also got a piece of the pie, what's the use of you just being angry here?"
Roar!!
The giant threw Anker away and chased after Hoffa, smashing the stairs and furniture into pieces. Horrible bugs crawled all over the house.
Just as Hoffa was frantically snorting about the giants. Chloe ran to Aldo, who was huddled in a corner and cried bitterly, and crouched down, hugged his head, and hummed a nursery rhyme softly.
The giant who swung his arm and struck hard moved, his body shrank little by little, and even his expression became confused.
"There's a play!"
Hoffa crawled to Chloe's side: "Go on, don't stop." ”
Chloe's face was dripping with sweat, and she tried her best to keep her tone steady, and the giant stopped spitting out giant worms. His body gradually returned to its normal size, and the granite lines on the windows gradually disappeared and became normal.
"Let's go!!"
Hoffa shouted to Chloe, who dragged a delirious Aldo to her feet.
"Get out of the way!"
Anker, who vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, bumped into the three of them without hesitation, jumped out of the window without looking back, and ran out.
At this time, Hoffa did not have time to think about this, he pushed Chloe and Aldo out, and finally jumped out of the window, and after jumping out of the window, he pulled hard, and the glass window was heavily sealed.
The four of them ran to a stop about a hundred meters from the house.
Anker clutched his chest and stood there gasping for breath, then grabbed Aldo by the collar and slammed him on the side of the road: "Rush! You almost killed me!"
Anker cursed Aldo sharply, "You must know that the real you are such a pustule, and stupid people will not team up with you!"
Aldo did not refute.
Chloe had just taken a breath when her face turned pale with fright when she heard Anker's angry curse Aldo.
"Don't irritate him!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang behind him. The small cabin in the distance was blown up by the giant, and it rose from the rubble. It directly turned into a huge centipede dozens of meters long, its armor was black and shiny, its abdomen was bloody red, and it had an unusually terrifying human face on the front.
"Holy!"
Hoffa burst into foul language, he had never seen such a strange creature in all his years of wandering in the wizarding world.
