Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cocooning and Self-Imprisonment

"Why are you again? Why does it keep appearing in my dreams? Who are you? ”

"What? You...... Don't know me? The woman in white, who was independent of the steep wind and cold, and had a fairy spirit, finally turned around. Although it was only a stone's throw away, I couldn't see her face clearly, and I could only vaguely feel that this woman must be otherworldly and beautiful.

"Come back!"

"Where are you going?"

"Go where you need to go and accomplish your mission." The woman said, her figure was hidden, and the thick fog was rolling in, rushing me so that I couldn't open my eyes, "Hey-you don't come to my dream again, I just want to date beautiful men." Suddenly, his feet were empty, his body fell, and cold water poured in from all directions, invading his mouth and nose, and penetrating his heart and lungs. I knew it was just a dream, but I still felt like it was hard to breathe, and she struggled desperately, and her body was getting heavier and heavier.

At this moment, there was a light in front of me, and there seemed to be an exit shining in front of me. With this direction, I suddenly seemed to be a very good swimmer, and she swam towards the light with the light and grace like a mermaid.

Finally swam in, her feet also stepped on the ground, soft to the touch, a little muddy and slippery, the surroundings were still pitch black, and the light just now did not know where to go. I groped my way forward, as if I were walking in a long, old road, and although she could not see anything, she could feel a pair of cold and evil eyes watching her, and she could see that her back was hairy, and cold sweat was dripping with cold. And this look is not like it comes from a human, but more like it comes from some kind of animal.

Something blocked my footsteps, I subconsciously reached forward and reached forward, but what I touched was the hard and cold black iron. "Squeak-" There was a short, dull sound, but the dark iron door in front of him opened on its own, accompanied by countless echoes, sounding strange and distant in this silent and claustrophobic space, as if it came from the eternal desolation.

The sudden light made me a little dizzy, and the suddenly open space in front of her made her a little afraid to step down: the three-layer winding jade belt river, nine gold-shaped wind beasts with night pearls, the granite pillars of the four-square coiled dragon, the jade steps with thousand-level ring arches, and the five-foot pure gold dragon chair. "This, this is clearly the mausoleum of a certain emperor, how did I get to a strange place again." I turned to go back, but the dark iron gate was gone, and she anxiously patted the intact wall, hoping to find a way out for herself, and saw that some small white snakes with round heads and thin bodies kept surging out of the Yudai River, and they were surging towards her. Xiao Qian screamed in fright, and saw that a stone brick on the left foot was sinking, but an underground passage appeared on the right foot, so he didn't think about it, so he drilled down.

The passage was dim and hazy, only a 10,000-year-old stone pine oil lamp flickered with flickering light, and in the small space ten feet square, there were many lifelike clay statues side by side, but each clay statue wore a hideous and terrifying mask. I looked at them one by one, until the last one, its mask was particularly special, I felt familiar, I couldn't help but take off the mask and play with it in my hand, but I saw that the eyes of this clay statue suddenly opened, amber pupils, through the cold light of the forest.

"Ahh

"Why do you keep having such strange dreams lately?" I wiped the sweat stains from my forehead, got out of bed to find water to drink, and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was only six o'clock. "How can this work, I have to get some sleep quickly, otherwise how can I have the energy to go to work?" She lay down again, forcing herself to hurry up and sleep again, and after a daze, I don't know how long, the phone rang again, and my boss picked it up unhappily: "Hey-"

"Hello! May I ask if it's me Ms. Yan?"

"Hmm."

"Hello! I am Xiaoice, the customer service staff of the Millennium Yuan Photography Building, the set of flower soul costume series you ordered with us last month will be the shooting date tomorrow, can I confirm the specific time with you? ”

"Okay, you say."

"Tomorrow, December 17, at 8 o'clock in the morning, can you see it?"

"Okay, okay."

"Okay, then I'll arrange it for you. Excuse me. See you tomorrow! ”

I hung up the phone weakly and looked at the time on my phone. "What? It's eight o'clock. Oops, no, it's going to be late again. She grunted as she got up and dressed. The moment she left the room, she sighed that the boring and busy day was about to start again, but to her relief, it was Friday.

I, an ordinary urban girl, is just a little more beautiful than a talented girl, a little more talented than a beautiful woman, but usually I am pretentious, and occasionally I have low self-esteem. Most of the time it is lonely and self-contained, but it is never out of place. After working for three or four years, it has basically stabilized, and with the help of her parents, she has a set of her own living room, and lives a casual and delicate life as a single little woman. Speaking of celibacy, our young lady is twenty-five years old and has not had a love experience, that is, she insists that she has a crush, but it is also because of the handsome appearance of others and a little nymphomaniac for a while, she never thinks that her eyes are above the top, but she always thinks that she is really a monk in her last life, otherwise why is she so unapproachable. As she grows older, the legend that she has never been in love has changed from her pride to her burden, and people will not believe that such a girl with a clear face, a well-proportioned body and a higher education will never be in love, and even if she does, most of them will think that this girl is psychologically abnormal. In order to make up the crowd, Xiao Qian made up an image of her ex-boyfriend for herself, and she made it so vividly that she almost believed it herself, with the shield of "ex-boyfriend", she finally looked normal in front of people.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of December 17, 2013, the Millennium Costume Photography Building.

"Beauty, you're so lucky, there are no other customers in the store today, and everyone is basically serving you alone! Hehe! "Makeup assistant Xiaoice not only has a sweet voice, but also a sweet word.

"Yes! In the past, it took a whole day to take pictures, but today is very fast, this is the last set, right? I fiddled with a set of snow-white dresses on my body, and compared them with the beautiful shadow in the mirror: the baby's face was lined with this beautiful white dress, just like a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her heart was really beautiful.

"This set on you is a new one in our store, called Qingying Yarn, and you are the first person to wear it. So you're in a lot of luck today. ”

"Really? I also like this set. Can you shoot? ”

"I'm sorry, beauty. There aren't enough rhinestones, I'll go downstairs and get a few, please wait a minute. ”

I nodded, and just played with the rows of hair accessories on the dresser, each of which was so delicate and lovely that she couldn't put it down. Suddenly, a white shadow passed by, like a white Samoyed, and its body seemed to be better. "Hehe, strange, do you still have pets in this studio?" She has liked pets since she was a child, so she naturally wants to take advantage of this gap to drag the beautiful white-haired dog and pet it for a while, not to mention that Samoyed is very docile and pleasing by nature. She followed, and the white dog seemed to be inside a small carved door on the right side of the hallway. I pushed the door open and entered, and the smell of dust that had been in my nose for a long time seemed to be a small utility room, with many torn clothes and props piled up in a mess, and several masks hanging from the walls, including a feather mask worn at a masquerade, a Persian-style gold silk mask, and a bronze mask with jaw-dropping fangs.

"It's strange, other masks are just that, how can anyone wear such an ugly mask to take pictures?" She took off the mask and put it on her face, looked at the mirror in front of her, and was in a trance for a moment, as if the figure in the mirror was not her, but she was obviously standing here, and who was she in the mirror if it wasn't her? I was suddenly very frightened, so I hurriedly took off my mask and looked at it carefully, how did I feel that this thing seemed familiar! At this time, a few rags hanging in the corner of the wall shook a few times, and a white plush thing came out of it, and I could see clearly that it was a Samoyed, and it was clearly a white fox. She was a little scared, and always felt that everything she encountered in this photo studio today was too unbelievable, so she shouted outside the door: "Boss, you keep the white fox as a pet here, it's really avant-garde!" ”

The snow-white fox stood for a moment, and then turned around in place, as if deliberately trying to attract Xiao Qian's attention, his amber eyes were quite spiritual, and he looked at Xiao Qian steadily, as if to say: "Don't shout, the voice is so noisy!" ”

I saw that the white fox was quite friendly to me, and I couldn't help but step forward and want to touch its head, but as soon as the tentacle stepped forward, it was about to bite, Xiao Qianqing hurriedly withdrew his hand, and the moonstone bracelet on his wrist was actually dragged away by it.

The white-haired beast grabbed the bracelet and scurried into the pile of torn clothes, and disappeared. I was angry and said, "Bad embryo, look at you so cute, you actually do 'robbery'." I'm going to have to catch you. She tore through the pile of rags, and found a small round door hidden behind it, which only allowed one person to pass sideways, and I didn't think about it.

Passing through the small round door is a long walkway, sealed on all sides, only the flickering lighting of a device like a spotlight, like a dark canopy of stars, and the foot steps on a road that seems to be paved with a very thick glass texture, and every step on it seems to have ripples of water, and it feels like walking in the waves that do not churn.

"Hee-hee, I don't know if the end of this road leads to which bar. This decoration is too expensive! As I walked forward in high spirits, my ears buzzed incessantly, and many fragments of memories were scattered like snowflakes in her mind, and those splendid and gorgeous fragments that had not appeared in her dreams but would occasionally flash in her mind were so chaotic and clear at the moment. With a burst of cracked headaches, I couldn't remember who I was, where I came from, and where I was going.
