Chapter 980: Corners and Dreams

Fear, cold, slippery touch spread to every corner of my body, and I didn't know where I was, only that the moment I opened my eyes, I was already inside the abyss.

Lonely trembling, chaotic and noisy voices echoing in his ears, water droplets dripping down, smashing on the ground, enveloping countless dusts, and then crumbling into a ball.

Behind him is a wall, which is a corner.

I hid in the corner, with my back against the cold wall, I didn't know why I was here, I didn't know when it started, I was already here.

Quietly waiting, not daring to go out, because a voice was telling me that if I left here, everything about me would be gone.

Time in the dark can be called a kind of eternity, you don't know the passage of time, forget your breath, forget your heartbeat, you become a part of this eternity, in this dark corner, in this world without any light, a little child huddles in a corner.

He or she, just call her well.

She couldn't see anything existing, and no one was able to see her presence.

The reason why it was called a corner was that all she could reach was the ground and two walls at a ninety-degree angle.

There was no light around, the touch on her body was cold and damp, and she didn't know if it was a room, a warehouse, or a ruin, she didn't know, she just knew that she couldn't get out.

What's her name?

Lily, yes, that's what her mom called her, that's what her dad called her, there should be an official name, but... What is a name?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, I can't remember it anymore, time has passed too long, so long that a little child has forgotten his name.

There are some remnants of the image in my mind, a couple with a child, the family happily going to the amusement park, hanging out, or having dinner at a table.

Lily could feel the warmth in that picture, and she could also feel the happiness of the child in that picture.

But the people in that picture couldn't see any of their faces clearly, and even the room, and the clothes on their bodies, were a little blurry, hazy, and hazy, as if they would be shattered at any time, and then completely forgotten.

Lily didn't know why it was in her mind's eye, but it was her only solace in the darkness.

Oh, not right either.

It wasn't accurate to say that it was the only consolation, because she was able to get out of here, but she didn't know how.

For her, wanting to leave here is a short time to leave here, and it is not under her control at all.

Just wait, wait, keep waiting, there will come a day, suddenly it feels like her eyes light up, the darkness around her disappears in an instant, and then she will appear in a strange place.

And then here she could see a lot of things, strange things that walked on the ground, two-legged creatures that looked like her, just a lot taller than her, and things that could walk around the ceiling and on the walls, strange looking, but nothing at all.

Compared to that dark space, such a thing seemed a little bit cute to her.

In this world, she can hear a lot of sounds, but she doesn't know where the sound comes from, she likes this world, compared to a world where there is no light, nothing can be seen, this place makes Lily happy.

Because in this world, someone will play with her.

That person made Lily feel a little familiar and strange, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that the person would take her to play everywhere in this world where she would get lost after a few steps.

Lily didn't care where she went, because every time she came out, she didn't stay in this world for long.

The experience of this world, for her, is more like a dream, a world that she will come to after closing her eyes, waiting for sleepiness to sweep over, and then losing consciousness in a daze, and then she will wake up again for some reason, such as in her head, or after a certain feeling and time arrives.

And when she woke up, she had to shiver in that cold corner, waiting for the next sweet dream to begin.

Dreams have a beginning and an end, of course, it is also possible that everything is reversed, and in sleep you enter that dark space, in fact, you live in the noisy world.

But is this important?

It doesn't matter at all, Lily just knows that having someone to play with her and have fun is enough, and the rest...

Could it be that a child who even has a vague memory has any other thoughts?

Maybe the darkness was too long, but Lily still regarded the beautiful and colorful world as a dream, and we will use the dream to describe Lily's colorful world.

Before, she never dreamed, there was darkness all around, once she tried to grope, tried to find a way out, but now it seemed to be boundless, and she seemed to be trapped in that corner, no matter how far she walked out in that direction, as long as she got up and leaned back.

You can touch the cold wall, front and back, left and right, all directions, all the methods have been tried, but to no avail.

There, she had no concept of time, she didn't know how much her pulse was going to beat a minute, how much her heart was going to beat, she wanted to fall asleep, but she kept awake.

Until one day, she had a dream, and then she began to have that little bit of joy all the time in the dark, and the long wait, in exchange for a sweet dream, seemed to be a very worthwhile thing.

In the dream, she found a very interesting playmate, who can pass through walls, can float in mid-air, and has many strange abilities, which is very fun.

The playmate took her out of a closed room and walked out, she followed the other person, not knowing where to go, not knowing where to go, anyway, just walking, just watching, just playing.

And then she was finally found and forcibly sent back to the place where she first came out, her playmate seemed to be looking for something, but Lily didn't understand the other party's strange behavior at all, she just thought it was funny, like seeing a clown in the circus, you may not understand the meaning of the other person's action, or the laughter contained in it, but you will laugh along with it.

And every time someone catches it and sends it back, this dream will wake up completely.

Until one day, in the midst of endless waiting, and waiting again for a sweet dream to come, she was not at home, but appeared in a place full of glass doors, on which hung a large sign with something written on it, which she did not know.

But you can see that there are many, many books in this house, maybe it's just a decoration, maybe it's an empty book, but it doesn't matter.

Importantly, she saw a person, a... She doesn't look like a good person, but she makes her playmate look very excited.

Lily didn't know what her playmate meant, but after so many exchanges, she could understand some of the other party's meaning, and then, with the help of the other party, she pushed open the huge glass door and walked into the room.

And that dream, too, was very strange, the moment she stepped into that room, the surroundings were dark again, and she woke up.

After a long wait of unknown time, Lily waited in the cold corner to see the dream appear, and at the same time there was a faint uneasiness that the dream was suddenly interrupted before it ended, and it was obvious that something was wrong with ending in such an abnormal way.

But she has no way, and she can't leave here, the only thing she can do is to wait, and continue to wait.

Maybe it's because the wait is long enough, or maybe it's because the begging in her heart is finally heard, and soon, she once again ushered in the arrival of a sweet dream.

Only this time, a voice told her to say a word, and she obediently complied:

"Uncle, just buy a sugar gourd, just one~"
