Chapter 54: Why the Way to Verify Dreaming Is to Pinch Yourself
Ogino Kei waited for this scene, and waited for more than two years.
In the script that he has tinkered with countless times, he should laugh up to the sky at this moment, say a few more cruel sarcasms, and finally make up for the thin corpse twice in front of Masayuki Ogawa, so that he can only experience the pain of watching his son die back then.
But now everything is as he wants, but Ogino Kei only feels-
Dull.
Tick β
The blood gathered on the tip of the knife and splattered on the ground, a very subtle sound that made him wake up from his trance.
Ogino Kei stiffly glanced at the dirty long knife in his hand, suddenly felt disgusted, and threw the knife on the ground.
With a cacophony of throes, he took two steps back, stomping on the weeds on the side of the road with a gloomy expression, rubbing the blood off the soles of his shoes with them.
Not far away, Masayuki Ogawa was still trying to give first aid to the child who was already out of breath.
β¦β¦ How could it be saved? How can a waste doctor who can't save a patient with appendicitis cure this kind of injury? He deserved to suffer like this! Ogino Kei thought about it deliberately, repeatedly.
The passers-by who stopped to watch did not dare to step forward, but some local tyrants secretly took out the big brother and dialed the ambulance and the police.
The noisy noise made Ogino Kei extremely irritable, and he only then remembered that his plan was not to kill the Empress Dowager Ogawa, and stood on the scene stupidly, waiting to be caught.
He picked up the paper bag he had brought and rushed out of the crowd with it.
In the process, Ogino Kei was actually worried that he would be stopped by some people with a strong sense of justice.
Today, though, his luck seems to be good.
Although countless people were shouting "Stop him!" But those shouts didn't have any effect at all except for speeding up the secretion of Ogino Kei's adrenaline and making the soles of his feet windy, and he was not stopped all the way.
He sprinted to the side of the road, got into a car parked nearby, and raced to the beach he had chosen.
However, for some reason, when he drove out of the street, the siren in front of him suddenly sounded, and a police car approached head-on, and Ogino Kei's heart jumped, and he had to slam the steering wheel and flee to the section of the road that was not stopped.
However, it was followed by a second and a third...... More police cars drove out to round him up, and the private cars, which used to be chaotic because of the appearance of police cars, are surprisingly cooperative today.
Ogino Qing frowned, and felt that this was a bit unlucky, and then he thought of something, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself, could it be because he killed the child, so he was retributed?
β¦β¦ Sure enough, the person who killed the child did not end well, and the doctor just now was the same. They all deserve it, they all deserve it.
Surrounded and intercepted by countless police cars, the somewhat distracted Ogino Kei was caught in front and back, blocking a bridge he had never seen before.
The police car chased after him, and the far forward exit was blocked. Just as he was regretting, Ogino Kei inadvertently glanced out the car window, and then he froze.
ββThe scenery on this strange bridge is unusually beautiful.
Although it was not quite as good as his original destination, the wide embankment, the swaying weeping willows, and the sparkling water that sprinkled spots...... It all made him feel that it seemed good to regard this place as the final destination for himself and his son.
Heaven is not thin on him...... Ogino Kei's mind turned, he stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.
Then he took an urn out of the paper bag, opened the car door, and ran to the bridge in a martyrly mood to meet the blazing summer afternoon sun, and climbed over the railing slightly awkwardly.
Coincidentally, the police car arrived half a beat slowly.
Ogino Kei ignored the policeman who was holding a bullhorn behind him to persuade him to come down, hugged the "son" in his arms, and jumped off in their field of vision!
The wind in his face made his heart beat faster, and the feeling of weightlessness also stimulated his panic to the maximum, Ogino Kei didn't know if he would fall to death or drown, but no matter what, his ridiculous life was finally coming to an end.
β¦β¦ There is only one detail that is regrettable.
Obviously, he should think about his lovely son, who died with joy. But now when he closes his eyes, his mind is full of the pool of blood just now, and it is the innocent child who is looking at the toy in his hand.
"Five-year-olds ......"
He muttered, ready for the impact of the water.
But after waiting for a long time, the marquee ran countless times in my head, and the lamp leg was about to break, but nothing happened.
βοΌβ
Ogino Kei finally sensed that something was wrong and opened his eyes in confusion.
Then froze.
- He didn't fall into the water, but kept the position of just jumping and floated in mid-air!
No, it's not just him who is wrong......
The swaying willow branches, the floating water, the squeaky sirens on both sides, the traffic on the embankment in the distance...... It's all still!
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Ogino thought it was a dream. He wanted to pinch himself, but apart from his thoughts, his whole body was like an amber-wrapped insect, completely unable to move.
The situation beyond common sense made him more frightened than ever.
I don't know how long later, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Someone asked without emotion:
"Is that good?"
It was a very mixed and ethereal voice.
It doesn't seem like it was made by a human, but more like a collection of countless mechanical dopings - cold and stiff, but it speaks human language, uses human intonation, and is very inconsistent.
With this sound, Ogino Kei was held back by some unknown force. He slammed back onto the bridge and bounced.
Ignoring the sore back and legs of the fall, Ogino sat up with a grunt and hurriedly turned around.
In the still background, the only person who can move is like a smear of oil paint in an ink painting, which is extremely conspicuous.
ββA young man with an unclear face walked through the police car, past the policeman who was outstretching his hand to stop Ogino Kei from jumping into the river, and walked with his back lit. His figure was slender and his gait was leisurely, and the elongated shadow fell on Ogino Kei's puzzled face.
"Is that good?" Perhaps it was because Ogino Kei didn't respond to his question for a long time, and the other party asked again:
"Though you have taken revenge, your son is dead, your wife has left you, and now you are about to die, this kind of ending...... Are you willing? β
Ogino Kei didn't answer him, he secretly pinched himself, and it hurt a lot.
It's not a dream!
β¦β¦ But why does time stand still? Why can't I see the face of the person who came here? What's the deal with that weird voice?
Everything was beyond Ogino Kei's common sense, and he couldn't understand it at all.
As if seeing his suspicions, the visitor raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Ogino shrank his neck in surprise and assumed a defensive posture.
But soon, as a short figure sketched out of the void, his eyes widened, and the hand that lay across his chest was lowered.
