Chapter 7 Looking for people, looking for things
This night was extremely long for Chen Xian.
Because in that long sleep, he returned to the land of treacherous psychedelic nightmares.
In the haze, Chen Xian once again came to the vast and unknown deep sea, like a homeless ghost, floating alone in the endless depths of the ocean, and surrounded by thousands of deep-sea fish, his body slowly sank, and gradually saw the ancient square that had long been decayed, and also let him see the memory that is still fresh and unforgettable-
The blood-colored giant tree that rotted at the bottom of the sea.
This time the dream was far more real than the last time, and the picture became much clearer.
Accompanied by the invisible turbulent undercurrent at the bottom of the sea, Chen Xian drifted uncontrollably to the root of the Heavenly Blood Tree, and at this distance he could clearly see that on the trunk of the scarlet peak, there were countless human heads embedded in the bark like gemstones...... Of course, whether those heads belonged to humans or not, Chen Xian couldn't judge in his dreams, because the size of each head was about three times that of normal humans.
Those skulls have lost their skin and are violent. The blood-red muscle tissue exposed in the sea water looked terrifying like a nightmare, even under the deep sea, Chen Xian could still feel the smell of blood emitted by them.
They didn't seem to be dead, and even though they were imprisoned in this strange blood tree, they were doing their best to show the power of their lives, constantly opening and closing their mouths to breathe in the sea.
Because they have no skin tissue on their faces to cover up, their eyes look horrible, each eyeball bulging out violently, and the whites of their eyes are occupied by cobweb-like bloodshots.
Perhaps sensing that an outsider was coming, all the heads began to squirm wildly. Moving, struggling desperately, as if trying to break free from the bark, and a chilling hostility welled up in their eyes, the way a hunter looked at his prey.......
Standing in front of the blood-colored giant tree overgrown with human heads, Chen Xian silently looked at these terrifying scenes, not feeling the slightest fear, because he knew that he was dreaming.
Compared with the previous nightmare, this nightmare seems to have a lot more details, from a certain point of view, it should be that this dream is more complete, and the information available has also become a little more, of course, there are also reduced parts, such as ...... The last time I heard the scream in my dream.
"Why did I dream about this......."
Chen Xian stood under the scarlet-stinking rotting giant tree, looking up at the countless human heads, his face was so calm that he couldn't see any expression, and his sober consciousness made him start to analyze continuously.
He is not a person who likes to dream, and the dreams he has had in the past are not much different from the dreams of normal people, almost all of them are vague and incoherent dreams.
But this nightmare made him clearly aware that this scene ...... Maybe it has some strange connection with me.
Although this analysis and speculation are groundless, his intuition tells him that-
This place is not unfamiliar, it seems that I have been here at some point, but I can't remember anything.
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Chen Xian's mind.
The voice called his name, and his consciousness began to blur until he was out of the nightmare......
"Chen~Leisure~"
Mu He sat next to Chen Xian, dragging his arm and shaking it constantly, seeing that it was bright outside for a while, Mu He seemed more and more anxious, because she hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
If you don't eat breakfast, you will get stomach problems, and if you have stomach problems, you will not be able to eat, and if you can't eat, you will starve to death like the old man next door.
This is the truth that Chen Xian taught her yesterday, and she remembers it very deeply.
Chen Xian...... Hurry up ......"
Listening to her soft and glutinous shout, it is not like telling people to get up, but more like a kitten is coquettish, so soft that she has no power to wake people up, but the strength in her hands is not small...... It's almost about to shake Chen Xian's body apart.
"Don't." Chen Xian opened his eyes suddenly, staring at her like a corpse, "Don't shake it." ”
Seeing that Chen Xian woke up, Mu He threw himself into his arms very happily. The soft hair kept rubbing against Chen Xian's chest, and his mouth was urging him to get up and cook quickly, otherwise he would die.
"Dead?" Chen Xian looked at the girl in confusion, "Who told you that you would die?" ”
Mu He raised his head, and his pink little finger poked at Chen Xian's face: "You say..... Will die ......"
"When do I say it...... Wait a minute...... I seem to remember. ”
Chen Xian from bed. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and let out a long yawn.
It's a long dream...... I don't know if I'll dream about it next time...... Could something else come out again?
Beneath the unknown deep sea, the ruined ancient square, and the blood tree that is overgrown with human heads.
Have you seen them before? Have you seen it on the Internet or in a book? That's why you unconsciously dream about those images?
"Chen Xian~"
"Don't rush, I'll go cook now."
Chen Xian yawned again, put on his slippers and walked out of the bedroom.
Today is not what it should be in a rainy season, the sky is just right, the yard is starting to dry, and even the air seems to be warm.
In this kind of good weather, Chen Xian's mood is rarely alive, and the mood that was destroyed by Xu Sanhan before is much better.
Grocery shopping, cooking.
Chen Xian is like the most standard housewife and man, with food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of whom worry about Mu He's little girl.
In private, Chen Xian also thought that maybe the feeling of taking care of the child is to take care of Mu He...... I'm so tired!
"Mu He."
"Huh?"
"I'm thinking...... Isn't it time for you to change your clothes......
Chen Xian looked at the girl silently, from head to toe.
Mu He is very beautiful and has a plump figure, but ...... Wearing a masculine outfit, no matter how you look at it, you always feel weird.
"It's still early today, I'll take you around the mall and buy you some change of clothes."
Chen Xian got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the tone of his mouth was quite like a parent talking to a child, and there was a vague sense of relief.
Mu He has made great progress in the past few days, at least from a not very sound intelligence, and has slowly become normal.
Among them, Chen Xian had the most headache to change clothes, this big problem has been solved by Mu He, Chen Xian said that he was very relieved, and he finally didn't have to worry about that kind of embarrassing thing.
"Bang! Bang! ”
Hearing this extremely abrupt knock on the door, Chen Xian, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously thought of Huo Fatzi, who had just come to the door yesterday to ask for help.
Without waiting for Chen Xian to think about it, the people outside knocked on the door a few more times.
The sound is a little loud, and it sounds a little urgent.
It doesn't seem to be Huo Fat, they are.
"Who?" Chen Xian wiped his hands and walked out and asked.
The person outside the door did not answer, and kept knocking on the door, as if urging him to stop.
When Chen Xian walked to the door, his action of opening the door suddenly froze for a second, because he felt that there was more than one person outside the door, judging by the smell...... There should be eleven people.
"You go back to the living room first, I won't tell you not to come out." Chen Xian said without looking back.
Mu He was still looking at Chen Xian in the courtyard in a daze, but now when he heard this, he got up with great experience and hid in the living room at a trot.
At this moment, Chen Xian slowly opened the door of the old mansion.
As he had judged, there were eleven people standing in the alleyway outside the door.
Ten of them were all dressed in the same way, all wearing neat black suits, and the age similarity was also very high, probably around thirty to forty years old.
The only one who stood out was a woman.
It was a very young woman, as old as Chen Xian.
According to the aesthetics of normal people, this woman can definitely be called a goddess.
She looks only slightly shorter than Chen Xian, but her tall figure is not thin, there is a very bright healthy beauty, the plump curve of the convex and backward is also full of sexy, her legs are especially slender, looking extremely dazzling in the sun, and the sexiness is filled with indescribable intellectual beauty.
"Looking for whom?"
Chen Xian's gaze only glanced at the woman, and did not linger long.
"Xu Sanhan died here?" The woman suddenly spoke, her voice as crisp as a yellow bird.
"Looking for whom?" Chen Xian asked this question for the second time and did not answer the woman's words.
At this moment, a man standing next to the woman spoke, with a strong sense of oppression in his tone.
"Ask you anything, and you will answer it, understand?"
"Looking for whom?"
Chen Xian asked for the last time, his tone had become a little impatient, after all, there were still chopsticks and spoons in the sink that had not been washed, and for a cleanliness maniac like him, he would leave those dirty tableware there without washing...... It's nothing short of torture.
Seeing that the people outside the door did not answer, Chen Xian took the initiative to take a step forward and blocked the door.
"Or ...... Are you here to find trouble? ”
