Chapter 103: Dream and Reality
Seeing the blood remaining on the bed and Chen Xian's body, everyone was extremely surprised, because the blood had not appeared at all before that, as if it came out the moment Chen Xian got up...... But Chen Xian didn't look like he had been injured, he was good from head to toe, and if you looked closely, you could find that the blood was not oozing out of his body at all, but from the outside.
In other words, all this blood was "splashed" on Chen Xian's body from the outside, and it didn't have much to do with him himself, but because of this...... The old liars are getting more and more confused.
They had been staying by Chen Xian's side before, and they had never left the room for half a step from beginning to end, which could be said to be staring at Chen Xian, who was lying in a comatose bed......
So under such conditions, how could this blood avoid everyone's ears and eyes and get it to Chen Xian?
This is obviously impossible!
"I ..... I had a dream just now,......" Chen Xian muttered, his expression seemed to be still a little dazed, and his tone of voice sounded a little confused, as if he didn't understand what was going on, "There was a lot of blood-colored fog in the dream...... Later, the fog condensed into rain...... The rain fell to the ground and turned into a pool of blood....... I was lying there the second I woke up...... They seem to be following me......."
"With you?" The old liar frowned, as if he didn't doubt Chen Xian's words at all, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes that was incomprehensible to ordinary people, "What is following you?" ”
"Blood on the ground." Chen Xian shook his head, at this moment he seemed to be a little more sober, and his tone became serious when he spoke, and he seemed to have begun to analyze himself, "This should be impossible...... It's beyond the norm......"
After that, Chen Xian dipped his hand in some blood and sniffed it in front of his nose.
"None of this is my blood." Chen Xian's brows furrowed even tighter, and he whispered to the old liar, "My blood doesn't smell like this, and I haven't been injured before...... No, I should say that my wounds have long since healed themselves, and it is impossible to bleed again. ”
"I think so." The old liar's expression was a little uglier than Chen Xian's, as if he was worried about something, and he also dipped his hand in some blood like Chen Xian and sniffed it carefully, "It doesn't seem to be human blood...... That's not what human blood smells like...... But it's not like the blood of those anomalous beings...... Very strange smell ......"
"Like a plant?" Chen Xian suddenly asked inexplicably.
Hearing Chen Xian's words, Xu Yanan and Mu He, who were standing on the side, were a little stunned when they heard it, because they never thought that this blood water could be associated with Chen Xian and plants, how could plants have blood?
Compared with them, the old liar seems to have thought more, and his thinking level is far deeper than that of Xu Yanan.
"Plant ......" The old liar glanced at Chen Xian, and then lowered his head to look at the blood on the tips of his fingers, as if to further determine something, he put his fingers directly into his mouth under Xu Yanan's surprised gaze, as if he wanted to use the method of tasting to determine what the blood water was.
Although his actions may seem disgusting, it is undeniable that this unique analysis can help the old crook a lot, after all, for him, the sense of taste is much more reliable than the sense of smell.
In this blood water, the old liar tasted many strange tastes.
It has a grassy smell peculiar to earth.
There is a salty and wet smell of seawater.
There is also a smell that I don't know what kind of plant secretes it...... The smell is very unique, like the smell of a plant branch being broken.
"Your dreams...... What kind of dream is it......" the old liar suddenly asked.
"I've been doing it for a long time, but this time it's a little different...... I don't remember telling you that after the strange case at the Kiriyama Mental Hospital, I started to have nightmares that have accumulated until today, a total of forty or fifty times. Chen Xian didn't plan to get out of bed, as if he was in a daze, sitting motionless on the bed, "Every nightmare is the same...... At least the location is the same! ”
"Where?" The old liar was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "You mean that every time you appear in the same place in that dream?" ”
"Yes." Chen Xian nodded, only feeling that the communication with the old liar was extremely smooth, at least he would not suspect that what he said was false, "Every time I appear in that dream, it is under a dark deep sea...... There is a particularly large bluestone brick square in that place...... It's been around for a long time...... It should be built by the ancients......"
Hearing this, the old liar seemed to be suddenly frightened by something, and shivered almost uncontrollably.
This sudden reaction naturally fell into the eyes of others.
"Grandpa Ge, what's wrong with you?" Mu He stood on the side of the bed and looked at the old liar, feeling that the old liar in front of him was a little strange, Mu Ran's expression was like wearing a mask, and his body was trembling slightly...... From him, Mu He could clearly smell a smell of fear.
Xu Yanan and Chen Xian naturally discovered this, but they didn't choose to ask him at this juncture.
"No..... I'm fine......" The old liar shook his head, and his voice was so dry that it seemed that every word that came out of his mouth had exhausted his strength.
The old liar looked at Chen Xian with a very strange look, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was silent, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked tremblingly......
"You go out first." Chen Xian said suddenly.
"Okay." Xu Yanan nodded, seeing that Mu He was still a little reluctant, she could only walk up and coax her while taking her out.
Compared with Mu He, who is not in the world, Xu Yanan is more observant of words and feelings.
She could feel that the old liar and Chen Xian were hiding some things in their hearts, but these things were not something that outsiders could hear, so she asked them to avoid these non-parties.
When the door was closed, the old crook smoked his cigarette.
"What are the characteristics of that underwater square?" The old liar threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and asked without looking back, in the process he had been avoiding Chen Xian's gaze, as if there was something unspeakable.
"The area is very large, and the floor is covered with green bricks."
Chen Xian said this, carefully recalled it, and then added.
"And a tree."
A tree.
The old liar shuddered again,
"What does that tree look like?" The old liar asked, relighting a cigarette.
"I can't see clearly...... It's a bit vague when you get closer...... But the skin of the tree is the same color as blood,......" Chen Xian frowned and said slowly, his mind couldn't help but think of what he had seen in his dreams, and an instinctive sense of disgust suddenly arose in his heart, "It seems to be rotten...... The branches are thin and long...... The canopy looks like a web of human blood vessels......"
Hearing this, the old liar was already a little unsteady, he staggered to the side and sat on the chair in the corner, the whole person's mental state was extremely depressed, and his expression was in a trance, like Chen Xian, who had just woken up before.
Chen Xian could smell the fear of the old liar.
All this changes.
It seems to come from these dreams that I have said.
Chen Xian only thought about it for a moment, and then roughly analyzed a result......
The old liar knows a lot of things.
In particular, he should know what he saw in his dreams...... Or see it in person!
Could it be that all of those things are real??
Chen Xian was a little confused, unable to understand and accept this fact.
In his opinion, a dream is a dream, reality is reality, and all this should be distinguished.
But if it is distinguished...... How do you explain the blood on your body? In what way did they cross the line between dream and reality to come into this world?!
What's more, I don't know about the ancient square under that sea area, and I have never been exposed to relevant information, so why did I dream of them? ?
"I've been to that sea."
The old liar said suddenly, as if his voice had become hoarse because he had smoked too hard.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Xian, his gaze became extremely complicated, as if he was hesitating whether to say the next words, he didn't speak for a long time, just fidgeting and silent.
"Say whatever you want, and if you don't want to say it, I won't ask." Chen Xian said softly.
The old liar shook his head, as if he had made some kind of decision, and his voice trembled faintly.
"That ancient sea of darkness, not only I have been there, but also your own grandfather Chen Ba, your grandfather Zhou Yan, all three of us have been there, and we went together......"
"How long ago was that?" Chen Xian asked.
The old liar thought for a moment, and suddenly showed a strange smile.
"It was a long time ago."
