Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Edge of Dreams

"How could you ......" Qiu Xuan looked at the person on her body, she wanted to ask if you were still indifferently saying "It has nothing to do with me" before, didn't everyone's bad roots be revealed tonight, and wanted to ask her why she came to save her.

But Gu Qingyue just shook her head at her, and didn't care about the dream tapirs that were frantically biting on her, and finally looked at her in a complicated way, and her body leaned to the side in pain.

Qiu Xuan hurriedly caught her and held her temples for her. Seeing her frowning and pale, cold sweat dripping from between her forehead, and a few painful moans leaked from her clenched teeth.

"Quick...... Let's go. Gu Qingyue endured it and said to her before she completely lost her mind.

Qiu Xuan moved her to lie down under the long table and said, "I'll save you if I find a way." Then he took one last look at Gu Qingyue, gritted his teeth and left.

As soon as she ran out of the encirclement of the dream tapirs, Zhao Ke, who had been suspended in mid-air and watching this scene, laughed: "Look what I found? A fish that slipped through the net. ”

He said as he shook his right hand in mid-air and made a grasping gesture.

Qiu Xuan scolded secretly, feeling that something in the air completely restricted her movements, and then her body flew towards Zhao Ke uncontrollably.

Her body was suspended in the air and was absorbed in mid-air by Zhao Ke, and her eyes rolled around to find the man's flaws.

Zhao Ke only laughed and dispelled her thoughts, "I said it, I am the master of tonight, the master of dreams. You're still trying to beat me in my dreams? It's ridiculous. ”

Dreamland? So since "it" announced that "the protagonist of the carnival night was successfully generated", does all this belong to Zhao Ke's dream? Qiu Xuan had a faint conjecture in her heart.

But before she could think about how to verify this conjecture, Zheng Yunyuan, who was the first to be attacked by the dream tapir, completely collapsed. The man screamed, even a kind of roar that was impossible to produce with human vocal cords.

"A prey has fallen into a dream and has become my captive." Zhao Ke said with a strange smile.

In order to echo his words, the next second was Yang Luoluo, and then the next was Gu Qingyue.

Qiu Xuan took a deep breath and was about to say something, when her head began to ache sharply, as if someone was stirring her brain with a stirring stick and mud.

"Ah......" She finally understood and truly felt the pain that Gu Qingyue and they were suffering. But shouldn't it? She hadn't touched any of the dream tapirs just now, and all the attacks of the dream tapirs were also blocked by Gu Qingyue.

Zhao Ke was obviously a little puzzled here, and the man sneered and raised Qiu Xuan a little more, and said, "Don't try to play tricks on me, otherwise I promise that you will definitely be in pain, very painful." ”

Qiu Xuan couldn't even speak, she felt as if someone was priing open her skull with her bare hands, and then pulling her soul body out. The five senses gradually faded, and only the sharp pain in the brain became more and more distinct.

As she gradually lost consciousness, she thought, this is the end of the game. It seemed that she had begun to hallucinate, she actually saw Qin Jiuyuan stepping up the stairs a few times, and then jumped up directly with the railing and appeared behind Zhao Ke, taking advantage of the man's lack of reaction, he plunged the dinner knife in his hand into the man's throat.

Some of the splattered blood beads stained Qiu Xuan's face. Losing her restraints, she fell from mid-air, and then was caught by someone and gently placed on the ground.

It's over? She thought so, and her consciousness went completely dark.

……

Qiu Xuan returned to that stale and bizarre dream, she still walked on the edge of the dream, with no beginning and no end.

She didn't know how long she walked, but she saw a little light on her right. Confused, she pursued the light, which was always with her.

Later, the light faded, and Qiu Xuan saw the person in the light, it was Gu Qingyue. She was still the same as when Qiu Xuan first saw her, and said to her in a gentle and powerful voice, "Qiu Xuan, come here." ”

Qiu Xuan stood on the edge of the dream, and she hesitated for a moment. But suddenly saw that in the darkness in front of Gu Qingyue, countless white and sickly, skinny hands stretched out towards her.

"Beware!" She shouted at Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue was still standing in place, the warm and resolute woman lowered her head and thought about it, then raised her head and smiled. With a determination and determination to embrace fate, she reached out and took the hands that reached out to her.

The hands dragged her forward. "Gu Qingyue!" Qiu Xuan shouted at her, but she let those hands hold her and never looked back.

Qiu Xuan didn't know what she was thinking, so she also started running on the edge of the dream to chase her.

After running for a long time, those strange hands finally stopped, Qiu Xuan held her knees with her hands and panted, while she couldn't help but want to ask Gu Qingyue what she was thinking.

Then she saw, in the habitat of those hands, lying or sitting all sorts of wounded. Some of them have a limb disability or a congenital disability; Some look like they have been through several great battles, burns, edema, typhoid fever, macula; Some of their limbs are still alive, but they can only lie on the ground weakly, and their faces are pale and dying.

And Gu Qingyue stood in place for a while, her expression complicated. Then she walked over like this, without hesitation, from the beginning.

Qiu Xuan stood there, watching the light fall into the miserable world, watching the light quickly be buried by the crowd that swarmed up, and watching the light flicker faintly but firmly in the crevices of the crowd.

She suddenly understood Gu Qingyue a little, why someone like her would come to participate in this kind of game, why he would show such an expression on the carnival night and then desperately come to save her.

"Qiu Xuan, go quickly," the light said to her, "keep walking, don't look back." ”

So Qiu Xuan said goodbye to the light in her heart and continued to walk in the boundless barrenness.

"Ah Nian." She heard someone's name being called, she turned her head and saw the man in silver-rimmed glasses smiling at his friend in high spirits, "When the application is approved, the company can be listed." ”

"Hmm." The man, who was not used to wearing formal clothes at the time, also smiled, "I've been looking forward to this day since we were in college, and it's so good, my wish is about to come true." ”

Then the two of them walked together towards the front that seemed to be full of light. Qiu Xuan followed them, watching the small broken company that the two of them had successfully listed, watching their business get bigger and bigger but eventually parting ways because of disagreements, watching the man who gradually put on a suit become a leader in another field, watching the tragedy of sharing hardships and hardships and not being rich and noble happen again, and watching former best friends become strangers.

"Ah Nian." For the last time, the two sat together and talked peacefully. In another day, the business war that is on the verge of a takeover over a company is about to begin, "If, I mean if, if there's a way to save us from getting to this point, would you be willing to try it?" ”

The man in the suit just smiled, "However, you also know in your heart that even if we do go back to the past, one day we will eventually be separated for our respective ideas." The problem between us is never so simple. ”

"Lao Tzu knows," Zhao Ke scolded, "what you can think of can't I think?" I'll just ask you one last time, would you like to try it with me? ”

"What a ......," the man shook his head, "so can you still not know my answer?" You know, I'm always willing to go crazy with you. ”

So the two walked side by side towards the depths of the invisible darkness.

Qiu Xuan stood in place and pursed her lips, suddenly thinking of what Zhao Ke was thinking about the morning when Zhao Ke used the exchange card to eliminate Liu Nian, when he was faced with the contempt of almost everyone and being considered selfish and unworthy of friends?

She sighed and moved on.

Later, she saw many people on both sides of the edge, some she thought she was more familiar with, and some she didn't know. The only thing in common is that, as on all previous occasions, she just stood there and watched, playing the role of a "bystander" that she was good at.

She said goodbye to everyone and walked alone.

She walks in the darkness, walks in the desolate day, with the joys and sorrows of the world, with the relatives and friends in her memory. She and they clinged to each other, but they were never really together.

She was a person throughout. He came alone and left with nothing.

Finally, she made it to the end of the border.

There was nothing there, nothing but darkness so thick that there was no end to it. She tentatively reached out her hand, which was swallowed up by the endless darkness.

Qiu Xuan retracted her hand and sniffed, looking back at the way she came. The boundless road was now shrouded in darkness.

"Qiu Xuan."

Someone was shouting her name, and the voice seemed to be coming from all directions, and it was so trance that it didn't seem real.

Qiu Xuan stood in front of the darkness and did not answer.

"What are you afraid of?" The voice asked again.

Afraid? Qiu Xuan secretly thought, I have nothing to be afraid of, I have nothing to fear. Then she was stunned, feeling that the scene was somewhat familiar, as if someone had teased her and called her "Miss Fearless".

Who is it? Who called her that?

"Actually, little girl, there's really nothing to be afraid of." The voice said.

Little girl?

The pain in her head suddenly began to be severe, and Qiu Xuan squatted down and pressed her temples, trying to open her mouth to silence the voice, but she was so painful that she couldn't say anything now.

The voice in the void seemed to sigh, and then spoke: "Come, little girl, raise your head and look ahead, and tell me what you see?" ”

"Isn't it just black, what else can there be!" Qiu Xuan covered her head angrily and shouted.

"No," the voice was not angry, but continued in a tone that could be called seductive, "not just black, in fact it could be anything you want. ”

"Only, you want."
