It's 5 a.m., and it's darkest when dawn breaks. At this moment, Dai Qian was very sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep.

In this quiet and terrible early morning, Dai Qian always felt that there were deformed monsters outside, waiting for Dai Qian to reveal his flaws so quietly that he could devour it.

Dai Qian didn't think like this in the past, he once believed in science, and believed that there were no gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters in the world, and there were just a little pious psychological comfort.

When imagining, Dai Qian always thinks it's real.

Because as soon as he fell asleep at this time, he would enter into a strange dream, which made him feel terrible.

It is said that dreams are a kind of handover between the inner world and the outer world, and the things that the eyes saw in the past are inadvertently stored in the brain, and when they sleep, they will secretly appear in the dream, and then repeat the previous things, or be reconstructed to evolve into different results.

People who have a strong desire to control can wake up in a dream and do whatever they want in the dream.

What's more, there are some more powerful people who can discover new things in the process of evolution in dreams, such as the German chemist Kekule, who discovered new chemical molecular structures in dreams.

And Dai Qian's dream ......

Unlike them, as soon as he fell asleep, such a strange old man came to him.

As soon as I saw Dai Qian, the first thing I said was to ask Dai Qian how he was thinking?

The first time, the second time, Dai Qian still felt that dreams were normal. Anyway, as soon as he woke up from this dream, Dai Qian's life was still the same, and it didn't have any impact.

But the third, fourth, and fifth times appeared frequently, which made Dai Qian afraid.

This is no longer a dream, nor is it some kind of Amitabha, gods, ghosts, and other messy things that can only appear in movies.

It's Dai Qian who mixes them together, and it's real, and it's a strange thing that happened to him.

Before dawn broke, the rooster crowed. Dai Qian felt that as soon as the rooster crowed, this terrible thing would not happen. This strange belief comes from the plot of various movies, as long as the rooster crows, no demons and monsters will come to him.

He thinks so.

Why did I have such a dream, it goes back to last month.

Dai Qian was originally a food salesman, and his daily task was to drive a broken van, and he was in charge of the large and small supermarkets in various towns in his city.

Look at whether the things on the supermarket shelves need to be restocked, whether the products with old dates need to be replaced, and whether activities need to be done to stimulate product sales.

I work day in and day out, just like everyone else, for my life and for my family.

After the end of the work again, Dai Qian, who was approaching the night, shortened the journey back.

He chose a closer mountain road, and although the mountain road was difficult to walk, he often walked it, and was very familiar with the various inflections and potholes of the road.

As usual, the radio in the van played the music of FM888 with noise, and if there were songs he had heard, Dai Qian would sing along with them from time to time, and if he didn't understand them, he listened quietly.

The gear in hand changes habitually and mechanically with the conditions of the mountain road and the curve.

"Bang !!"

Dai Qian suddenly felt a flashing black, red, black, and white in front of him.

The smell of stones, moss, stinky grass, and all kinds of strange smells suddenly appeared in the sense of smell.

After a long while, the car stopped at some point, and the windshield of the car was also smashed into a big hole, and all the unbroken cracks next to the big hole.

Dai Qian touched his head and touched his face again. It doesn't seem like anything.

Then he looked at his body again, and in addition to a little broken glass slag, there was also an irregular piece of wood about 20 centimeters thick and about 50 centimeters that fell on Dai Qian's legs.

"? Being hit by such a big piece of wood, is it okay? ”

Looking at the wood in front of me, looking up at the windshield.

"Damn, how do you explain to the boss when you go back?"

Dai Qian found that he was fine, but he was concerned about whether he would be scolded by the boss.

Dai Qian tried to start and get out of the car, but the car was okay and could start.

"Forget it, bring the wood back for evidence."

After seeing that everything else was fine except for the broken windshield, Dai Qian could only start the car and continue walking.

But he always vaguely felt as if he was being pulled by something, and when he looked at his body, he was fine. Let's talk about driving.

I don't know how long I drove, Dai Qian found that it was getting darker and darker, and Dai Qian turned on the headlights. I found this road, no matter how I walked today, it just didn't come to the end.

Dai Qian remembers that it usually takes only half an hour to drive to a bridge, and as long as you cross the bridge, you will not be far from the company.

But now it's been on for no less than half an hour, and the radio always can't receive programs, and the noisy sound of brushing makes Dai Qian upset.

"Excuse me, am I going wrong? That's right, that's the way to go..."

With this apprehensive sound, Dai Qian carefully checked the surroundings while driving through the headlights.

At this moment, not far ahead, Dai Qian found an old man walking.

"It's so dark? Is this old man still walking here? ”

Dai Qian thought so, but he didn't mean to help the old man at all.

The car drove past the old man with a hula la, and by the headlights, Dai Qian could see that the old man looked very kind, and when Dai Qian's car drove over, the old man avoided it in fear. It doesn't look like a strange old man, on the contrary, he seems to be afraid of Dai Qian.

Not long after driving, the more Dai Qian thought about it, the more wrong it became. Now that I've seen it, I'm kind enough to help others. Anyway, it's all along the way, and the old people look weird and pitiful.

After thinking about it, Dai Qian simply stopped the car and waited for the old man to come.

The old man walked a little slowly, and when he was almost next to Dai Qian's car, the old man was far away from Dai Qian's car, and he didn't dare to get close to Dai Qian's car.

"Don't be afraid, Abel. I'm also going back to XX Town from here, and I'll take you on a ride by the way. ”

“——”

The old man did not answer.

"Really, I see you walking alone, it's so dark, I'm afraid you're not safe alone. I'm from XX company, XX people. ”

In order to make the old man believe him, Dai Qian told the old man the name of the company and where he lived, so that the old man could let down his guard.

"I live right next to XX Company."

The old man replied at this time, it turned out that the old man's house was not far from Dai Qian's company.

"That's right, we're on our way."

In this way, the two sat in the car and continued to walk towards their destination.

In the car, the old man kept thanking him. Dai Qian also kept saying that it was okay. The two chatted awkwardly until the old man suddenly asked why the windshield was broken and why there was such a big wood in the car.

Dai Qian talked to the old man, and after he finished speaking, the old man asked again:

"Are there any other people in the family?"

Listening to the old man asking about the car again, he suddenly changed the topic and asked about his family affairs.

It's okay, it's boring anyway, just talk.

"My parents are still there, I have a wife, and my wife is pregnant."

"Ah, that should be a very happy family."

"That's right, when the child comes out, it will be happier."

Speaking of this, Dai Qian's heart is beautiful.

"Have you ever thought you're in a dream right now?"

Dream? When the old man said this, Dai Qian was confused?

"What dream?"

"I mean, what would you do if it was a dream right now?"

"How? Dreams are all fake, so you can do whatever you want. ”

Dai Qian thought the old man's question was funny. Just answer casually.

"What if this dream just keeps going on like this?"

"Keep doing it? There are no eternal dreams, right? ”

"What is not taught, people always think they are right."

Listening to Dai Qian's answer, the old man suddenly talked about philosophy, and continued:

"Do you know why dreams can't be explained by science?"

"Physiology, it's normal, right?"

Dai Qian's answer was a bit coping. He could only answer like this, because he found that the old man's question was becoming more and more metaphysical.

"Dreams have been a door since ancient times, and it allows you to connect to all kinds of realms, both the living and the dead. It is scientifically defined as a concept of brain frequency, brain waves. In fact, no one knows its deeper meaning. It is only between life and death that it can be understood..."

"Between life and death?"

Dai Qian was even more confused by the old man's nonsense.

The car continued to drive, and the old man continued:

"When a person is alive, when he sleeps again, he dreams of people he has not seen for a long time, or people who are no longer alive. It was a cloudy dream, and in the midst of it, the foggy one was talking to those who couldn't see clearly, watching their every move. You can't see who they are, but you can know who they are. ”

"Oh, I'll go, uncle, why do you feel that you say this is a bit scary, are you a fortune teller?"

Dai Qian listened to the confusion in the clouds, and he didn't know what the old man wanted to say.

"Well, to put it simply, those people gave you dreams and asked you to do something for them."

"Oh ~ Tuo Meng, as soon as you say this simply, I will understand. I know that, but how could you tell me this? ”

Dai Qian said a little embarrassed, in fact, he still didn't understand it, and he could only pretend to understand, because Dai Qian just wanted to change the topic quickly.

"Talking so much, it seems that you don't understand. I wanted to put it mildly, but you can't understand it. ”

"I'm in business, how can I not understand it. The basic thing to do business is to have a strong understanding. ”

Dai Qian replied to the old man's question with some opinions. The old man looked at Dai Qian, smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and said slowly:

"Do you have anyone close to you to give them a dream?"

"Why should I dream?"

"Now you're in a dream..."

"In a dream?"

"Yes, something happened to you, so I connected this dream, I just passed through your dream unintentionally."

Rumble!!! The old man's words instantly made Dai Qian's scalp explode. It's a big night, and it's really creepy to hear this.

"What are you talking about?"

Dai Qian asked the old man in fear, and suddenly feared that the old man would turn into a monster or something to harm him, after all, the plot of the movie is like this.

"Don't you think there is no end to this road?"

This question is very clear in Dai Qian's heart. He is indeed evil today, he has walked for so long, and he has not yet reached the bridge.

"Originally, I had nothing to do with you, I had a task to do, and it just so happened that you drove through here and met me, and kindly wanted to give me a ride, I think you are a good person. I'll also tell you secretly, there is a bridge in front of you that is the same as your reality, but don't go over, if you do, you really won't wake up. ”

The old man opened the car door and got out of the car, pointed to the windshield, pointed to the wood on the car, pointed to Dai Qian's head, and made a big circle around with his hand.

Dai Qian instantly understood this meaning, and the old man meant that Dai Qian was hit on the head by a wood, and he was now in a coma, and then came to this dream.

Dai Qian suddenly remembered what the old man said just now, what kind of dream, what kind of living and dead people, what kind of dreams......

"Hey, don't scare me on this big night. I'm kind enough to send you, why are you like this..."

Dai Qian pretended not to understand, and suddenly shouted at the old man.

The old man looked ahead at this time, then looked at Dai Qian and said

"You're a nice guy, go back, if someone calls you. Don't look back. If someone stands in your way, you say that you have sent an envoy. ”

With that, the old man walked alone towards the dark front again, until he disappeared under the headlights.

Dai Qian was scared and hurriedly started the car.

"Neurotic..."

Dai Qian didn't care about the old man's words, and continued to drive forward, and drove faster. But the strange thing is that the car drove so fast that it didn't catch up with the old man, and I didn't see the old man...

The old man didn't notice it, but the bridge appeared, not far ahead. This bridge looks no different from what I usually remember, hurry up, stay here for one more second, and the danger will be one more second.

Just as Dai Qian was about to cross the bridge, the old man's voice sounded out of thin air:

"My kindness, young man, has been repaid to you. If you have to cross the bridge, it's up to you. Everything is destined, if you still want to see your family, just listen to the old man and turn back. The old man has taken his leave..."

The old man's voice suddenly disappeared again...

This dark night, for Dai Qian at this moment, is more and more mysterious and terrifying.

If the old man wanted to harm him, Dai Qian felt that it was a matter of minutes, but the old man kept telling him some strange things with kind eyes.

"Lean !!"

Dai Qian stepped on the accelerator and shook the steering wheel fiercely, directly making the car turn around. When the old man talked about his family, it really touched Dai Qian's weakest heart.

Dai Qian did not cross the bridge this time, but in his analysis, the instinct of the business told him to bet and believe.

In the direction from which he came, Dai Qian accelerated and galloped. I don't know how long it took, but Dai Qian saw something he couldn't believe at all.

Not far away, four strange men with red bodies, each with a pair of goat horns, surrounded by a fig leaf, and holding a trident in their hands, appeared in the middle of the road.

Dai Qian was so frightened that the six gods and no master came to a sudden brake not far from the strange man, and he coughed and wanted to shout but couldn't shout.

Dai Qian wanted to close his eyes and bump into it directly. Later, I thought that the old man had explained to him in advance. Dai Qian let go of the idea of bumping into it. Slowly drive in front of the 4 weirdos.

The strange man remained motionless, staring directly at Dai Qian inside the broken windshield. That look almost suffocated to look at.

“…”

Dai Qian always wanted to speak, but fear and fear prevented him from opening his mouth.

The strange man had two large cyan fangs, and could swallow Dai Qian alive at any time, but they stood there motionless. kept staring at Dai Qian.

"Gong ...... Public... Dawn...... Gong Dan envoy... Gongdan sent an envoy ......"

stammered a few times, and Dai Qian didn't know if he had made it clear, but the weirdos in front looked at each other and actually got out of the way...

Seeing these terrifying weirdos get out of the way, Dai Qian's trembling foot stepped on the accelerator, and he suddenly failed to control the clutch and turned off the fire. The stalling of the car brought an unprecedented moment of silence to this terrifying atmosphere. An eerie silence.

The strange man continued to stare at Dai Qian, but Dai Qian remained motionless. At this moment, Dai Qian's heart was pounding...

Dai Qian plucked up the courage and tried to start the car, after touching the car key, Dai Qian felt that this time the action of starting the car was like a car thief, not calm, and sneaky.

Hula...

Suddenly, the car was started, and the engine blew, startling Dai Qian himself.

The weirdo in front of him was still motionless.

Trying to control the gear and throttle, Dai Qian slowly passed the strange man, and the strange man closest to Dai Qian followed Dai Qian with deep and eyeless eyes...

Dai Qian moved so slowly with the deep and invincible eyes of the strange man out of the corner of his eye, as if the deep eyeless eyes were about to pull Dai Qian into the darker darkness.

Until, deeper and deeper...

At this moment, Dai Qian, I don't know when, was already covered in sweat.

Simply, a cool breeze blew Dai Qian a spirit. Dai Qian quickly looked away.

After passing the weirdos, Dai Qian slammed on the gas pedal like crazy, for fear that those weirdos would regret coming to chase him.

There are too many strange things tonight, and even more strange things happen, Dai Qian feels normal. Because he can't tell now that he's not normal...

Now that science is so advanced, there shouldn't be any such nonsense...

No, I really found out and saw it with my own eyes... It's true... It's horrible...

Dai Qian was in a mess at the moment, he didn't know how he was going to explain all this now.

Before I could figure this thing out, something even more exaggerated came again.

In front, a van was identical to his car, including the smashed windshield, which was exactly the same as the people inside.

The people inside were lying in the car with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep...

"Hey, it's supposed to be a dream, I'm supposed to be dreaming... I don't do it now... I'm going to wake up... I'm going to wake up..."

Dai Qian suddenly slapped himself a few times, it didn't hurt, but he didn't wake up.

No, can't you wake up?

At this moment, the opposite self and the current self are opposing each other in a not very bright night moon.

"Dead?"

Suddenly, a thought came to mind.

Dai Qian was scared, he didn't want to die. He still has family waiting for him, he still has unborn children he doesn't see. There are still many things he hasn't seen, and although he always complains about the unfairness of life, he always feels that he has always been kind and has never hurt anyone. Why did you experience something you shouldn't have done?

"Ahh

Dai Qian's terrible cry and scream directly pierced the night sky. Wake up the other Dai Qian in the van in front of him directly...

“？？？”

Dai Qian stretched out his hand and looked at his hands, then at the broken windshield, and then at the car window...

It wasn't as dark as it had just been, and it looked like there was still light in the evening, and the radio in the car was still playing the noisy music of FM888.

And at this moment, the other self in front of me is gone.

"Was it just a dream? I'll go, so realistic......"

Dai Qian muttered, but the car was smashed by a piece of wood that fell out of nowhere, it was true, and he was even knocked unconscious, and he had a strange dream...

Thinking about the dream just now, Dai Qian couldn't help but shudder...

I started the car and got started...

It wasn't until he came to a bridge that he drove for less than half an hour, Dai Qian stopped to look left and right, and slapped himself again, his face was hot and painful.

"Damn, it's really a dream..."

When crossing the bridge, Dai Qian still had palpitations, and after crossing the bridge, he looked back and forth.

"I feel like I'm going to get nervous."

I found that there was nothing wrong, and continued to drive until the company...

I told the company that there was an accident with the car, but the boss didn't say anything and reimbursed me.

After returning home, Dai Qian, as usual, went to the hospital for a check-up, and there was nothing wrong.

I went back to accompany my wife, eat, and forgot about it...
