Chapter 15 Hell
When I woke up again, there was a white field of vision, white curtains fluttering, and the sound of the monitor made me realize that I was in the hospital. It's a hospital again, and I remember the first time I saw Dustwind was in the hospital. And I also remember the three words he said, 'here', and it was those three words that ruthlessly led me into darkness.
I opened my eyes slightly to see the bright sunshine outside, but suddenly it felt so unreal.
Suddenly, a trotting sound was heard, and the nurse shouted, "Doctor, the patient is awake, doctor!" "It made me a little more sober, but I found that I seemed to be wearing an oxygen mask, and I had all kinds of threads attached to my body, and I couldn't move at all. The door was suddenly slammed open, and it was Brother Dong who ran over, his face haggard.
"Little grass! Xiaocao, it's been seven days, you finally woke up, what can I do if something happens to you, I can't explain it to your parents. After saying that, he took my hand and kept touching my forehead. Tears and snot were wiped all on my hands, and I really wanted to wipe them back, but I didn't have the strength.
"The patient can't speak yet, you go out quickly, we have to do an examination" The doctor and nurse stopped Brother Dong out.
The doctor examined me while I closed my eyes and remembered what had happened. From the moment I came into contact with that strange stone, my fate was off the normal track, and I can understand Brother Dong's self-blame. I somehow turned into a container, remembered the way those people looked at me, remembered the container that turned into a monster, that fear, that helplessness came up again... It's so uncomfortable, just when the mind is about to fall into chaos again,
'I'll take care of you,' Dustwind's words suddenly pulled my thoughts back to the moment.
"You have a good rest, after transfusing this bag of blood, you can try to get out of bed and move, your anemia is too severe, fortunately in time, otherwise the organ will fail, and you will have to wait for death." After the doctor finished speaking, the nurse said a few words and went out.
After the blood transfusion, I felt a lot better, slowly got out of bed, walked to the bathroom, looked at myself in the mirror, my face was pale and scary, my hair was unkempt, and I suddenly found that the pupils of my eyes had turned dark gray, which, I was so frightened that I hurriedly retreated, and then slowly approached the mirror, and confirmed again, sure enough, it was still dark gray. It's over, I'm going to be a monster! I opened my eyelids vigorously and kept wiping the mirror, it must have been the mirror problem, because I was violently moving, the mirror was slammed.
"You're not going to be that monster." Suddenly, a familiar voice came. I saw the dust wind in the doorway, and he stood against the door. I looked at him eagerly, but he didn't say anything, just looked at me flatly, but seemed to read my thoughts.
"What a monster is not a monster, Xiaocao, great, how did you get out of bed, go back to bed." Brother Dong carried me back to bed.
To tell the truth, I see the two of them now, and I am very conflicted, one gave me a stone that made me a container, and the other almost killed me for a sacrifice for some unknown purpose.
However, they saved me many times. I lowered my head, not knowing what to say.
"Xiaocao, the matter has passed, don't think about it anymore, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't let you see that stone, you are all coming at me if you are unhappy." Brother Dong said eagerly.
"Brother Dong, I want to go home." I still kept my head down. To be honest, I don't know how to deal with them.
"Okay, okay, in this way, you can observe for a few days, and you can be discharged from the hospital, I will send you back as soon as possible." Brother Dong patted me on the shoulder.
"Aren't you curious about this whole thing?" Dusty Wind stood in front of the window, looked out the window and suddenly said a word, his tone was still so cold. I don't know what kind of expression he was asking me.
"I don't want to know anything! It's all over, I just want to live, I just want to go home! Suddenly I found that my voice was a little choked, why did I become so weak in the face of dust and wind, home is more important to me now than anything else. I still had my head bowed, my fists clenched.
"It's not over, and ... And you have something on you. Dustwind turned to look at me, and walked out. There was a hint of worry and a hint of warning in his eyes.
"Dustwind, how can you talk, Xiaocao hasn't recovered yet." After speaking, Brother Dong continued to comfort me.
"Don't listen to him, get some rest... Wait for you.,I'm looking for a few girls.γγγ "Brother Dong was kicked out by the nurse before he finished speaking, and let me rest.
Probably with the promise of going home, I slept soundly for the next few days, and my face gradually recovered, but the color of my pupils never changed. Brother Dong came every day, which also made the resentment towards him slowly relieved, but Dusty Wind never saw it again, what did he mean by the last words. So I asked Brother Dong where did Chenfeng go?
Brother Dong said while peeling the apple, "You said Dusty Wind, I don't know where he went, we are just a cooperative relationship, don't you say it, that guy's ability is really good, without him, we really don't know how much to lose, after you entered the black hole of the coffin, we were all beaten down by the monster, all supported by him, Emma, he can actually block the monster's claws with his bare hands"
"And what about the last monster?" I asked eagerly, the nurse next to me looked at us strangely, I smiled and said, "Let's talk about games" only to see the little nurse blush, turned around and went out.
"Hey, hey, when will your kid start flirting with girls, I'll look at this eye and make people hook." Brother Dong leaned his face closer in confusion, and I was very uncomfortable to look at with my small eyes.
I pressed his face to the side, "Gotcha, don't interrupt, say it quickly." β
"It's strange to say, I only saw you faint, fell into the coffin, and then it emitted a very bright light, and then the relict fish appeared again, climbed down directly from the top of the waterfall, the old scary, the speed is fast, before the monster screamed, I swallowed it in one bite, and then stared at us, oh my mother, I was so scared that my legs were shaking, I thought it was really over, but I didn't expect that the Ran relict fish suddenly jumped into the pool and disappeared."
"Gone?γγγγ And this kind of operation? I looked at Brother Dong in disbelief, and Brother Dong nodded.
"Brother Dong, do you think what we are experiencing is an illusion, I feel too unrealistic." I think anyone who told me about my experience would definitely think I was stupid.
"You can say it, I don't think it's realistic, this is the same as my usual fight. Oh no, archaeology. It's completely different, there are no words, no funeral goods, and even the coffin is so strange, there is nothing in it except skeletons. After Brother Dong said that he leaked his mouth, he covered his mouth and looked at me.
I glanced at him with disgust and said, "Brother Dong, can you also do some business, don't do this anymore." It's really too dangerous this time. β
"I know, actually, Xiaocao, what I did before is really not as evil as this time, at most there are more tombs, it is difficult to find things, what zongzi or something, I haven't seen it at all. I was also fooled by the old man. Brother Dong said helplessly.
I waved my hand and said, "Okay, Brother Dong, I know, do you know what a container means?" "I was finally able to say the word, and a few days before I had panicked at the thought of it.
"Is this, I asked the young master of the month to come, and he said... Brother Dong looked at me again and again. I nodded and motioned for him to say, I can handle it.
He said, "This container is the seed, the seed, that is, the black hole stone itself chosen." If it becomes a container by other means, then the container will be demonized, in fact, it will lose its mind, and it will be destroyed even if it is connected to the stone. Brother Dong finished slowly, looking at me as he spoke.
"What's the use of containers? Just destroy that place like you did that day? Didn't I remember that there was something shiny in the sarcophagus? Where's that thing? I wanted to take it, but I didn't. I asked, confused.
"I don't know exactly what's going on, but when you came out, there was nothing in the coffin. Caught up with the collapse of the place again, we were all busy running for our lives, how could we take care of the things inside, Master Yue also knew so much, if you want to know more, you need to visit his house for a special visit. Brother Dong waved his hand helplessly.
"Didn't your grandfather say anything?" I asked again.
"As soon as you say it, I get angry, that old man fooled me to run such a dangerous place, and when he came back, he didn't sue me, I was so angry that I wanted to smash his bird cage, so he told the truth. He said that this black hole stone was also recorded in the family tree of the ancestors. β
I took the apple and took a bite. Brother Dong continued:
"There is a sentence that is, 'In ancient times, gods descended from the sky, scattered in the sky, and collected with instruments', and then my grandfather said that this is a text found by the ancestors in an ancient tomb. At that time, the people thought it might be useful, so they copied it. The juniors have been looking for it, but to no avail. Brother Dong shook his head and said. Seeing that he looked funny, he slapped him. However, I didn't seem to understand that sentence after thinking about it for a long time, but the key was that I didn't give an answer. Think about it, it's over, what do you want it to do. I'm going back to my normal life.
After another two days, he was finally discharged from the hospital, during which he didn't see Chenfeng again, and I really wanted to confirm with him whether what he said was true, but there were still some pimples in my heart. Forget it, ask for your phone number in the future, and call again. If I don't have the chance to be a brother, that's the end of it, after all, his life trajectory is something I can't bear. Having said that, he saved me so many times, and I still wanted to say thank you to him.
got on the plane and rushed back to my hometown non-stop. I stayed in the hospital like this, and the Spring Festival holiday was over, so I had no choice but to ask for sick leave with the unit, and missing my parents is my only obsession now. As soon as the plane landed, my parents were already waiting for me at the airport.
As soon as I saw them, I ran over and hugged them, my nose was a little sore, but I endured it, this moment was too happy. Whatever money, whatever love, fuck it, as long as my parents are around, it's the most satisfying life.
Mother then turned on the broken thought mode, "Xiaochao, don't you know, the gang of people who want to beat you have all been arrested, the news has been reported in those days, your father and I are happy to death, and no one is looking for trouble with our family now." Why is your face white again, is your body okay? Let Mom see, huh? What's wrong with your eyes, I'll take a look at it again," he said, holding my face with both hands and looking at it. I hurriedly said:
"Mom, it's okay, I haven't slept well lately." I deliberately avoided my mother's eyes, it seemed that the mother was really very familiar with her child, and her pupils were noticed so quickly.
"Oh, wife, can you be normal, my son is so old, and he is not a child, don't worry about everything, shame, take your hands down." As he spoke, my father took my mother's hand and dragged me back.
I followed silently, thinking, it's still Dad's greatness.
After returning home, the warmth of home made me completely relaxed, and I slept for several days in a row, remembering the feeling of sleeping on the ground of the Changbai Mountain cemetery, which is still fresh in my memory.
I slept a lot during the day for several days, and suddenly woke up at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night that day, walked to the bathroom to wash my face, stared at the mirror for a while, and the color of my eyes still did not recover, so I closed my eyes and washed my face with water. In some horror movies, people always feel like they have something behind them when they close their eyes, and I have never had such a worry before, but today it seems to be really weird, and I can't help but squint my eyes and look at it.
Suddenly, I saw that there seemed to be hair floating in the mirror, and I suddenly looked at the mirror with wide eyes, and vaguely saw long hair floating out of my back. I quickly turned around as if I was bouncing, but when I looked again, there was nothing.
Seeing nothing, I patted my beating heart and turned my head back, panting with my head down, it must be a hallucination! Definitely hallucination!
Just as I relaxed, I felt as if there was something on my shoulder, and when I looked up, there was a white skeletal hand lying on my shoulder, I gasped, and rushed out of the bathroom in fright, tripped over a chair, fell to the ground, and my leg hurt so much. Before I could look at the problem on my leg, I saw that the skeletal hand was slowly floating in front of my eyes, and the white fingertip bones began to slide down my face.
"Ah---h
When my parents heard me screaming, they quickly ran out and asked what was going on. I looked like a room again, and there was nothing. whispered, "I ----- I have nightmares, it's okay to ------." Seeing my parents go back to my room, I took a deep breath and slowly walked back to my room, seeing that there was nothing, I let out a sigh of relief. What's going on? I remembered the skeletal hand I saw before I fainted when I was pulled out of Changbai Mountain. Could it be the ghost? It can't be such a coincidence, right?
I spent my last vacation at home and returned to Beijing. Busy work quickly took over my life, and the hell was behind me. It's just that sometimes I feel like I'm in a trance, maybe it's because of blood. The girl who confessed to me is called Xiaoli, although she looks average, but she is a good girl, after chatting a few times, she knows that people are rushing to get married, and she is very happy. What else, let's talk about it. Maybe my life's work will be finalized. Xiaoli knew that after I was hospitalized and asked for leave, she would bring me delicious food every day, and the sweetness of love gradually made up for the fear I experienced. It was a smooth and warm month.
One day, the museum held an exhibition of ceremonial activities, and invited some people to dress up in ancient costumes to show, and there was a special shooting, I and a group of colleagues joined in the fun and watched outside, I have never seen how the performance was filmed, today is an eye-opener, there are so many lights, no wonder the faces of those actors are so white, so good-looking, there are so many beautiful women, men, look normal. Just as I was looking at it, the actors and actresses in ancient costumes inside began to bow down, and the person who played the emperor was really mighty.
Suddenly, a raised lampstand fell down, and with a bang, an actress fell to the ground, as if injured, and she held her head. I rushed up to see it, and when I saw the actor's blood flowing from the crack in my hand, I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I felt that my eyes were a little blurry, and the feeling of being in a trance came again.
Then I realized that my body was out of my control! I started to walk out on my own, and when I walked to a certain position from the performance area, I was stopped by the security guards. Then my body actually started to move on its own.
I felt myself kneeling, my hands arched in front of me and fell to the ground, I bowed my head and lowered my head directly to my hands. I've been resisting this series of movements in my brain, but, but my body is actually out of control!
Oops, what's going on, who's controlling my body. There was still a blur in front of me. I heard someone next to me say: "Xiaomeng, is it very standard, come quickly, come and help support a scene." β
Then I was pulled away, and my consciousness felt like I was asleep, groggy. I don't know exactly what I did after that, but I feel like I've been repeating the action just now, as if I'm still whispering something in my mouth, and it's the kind of language I don't understand. It wasn't until someone started tugging at me hard that I slowly came to my senses.
"Grass, grass!" It was Xiaoli's voice, her tears were about to come out, I touched her head and said dotingly, "What's wrong?" β
"What are you talking about, it's scary."
"No, you must have misheard." I laughed and coaxed her. Seeing her smile, I was relieved.
She pulled me in front of the mirror, and I was dumbfounded, I was actually painted with makeup, a wig, and wearing an ancient costume, but the most unacceptable thing is that this is completely the costume of an ancient woman. I didn't even recognize the person in the mirror as me. What made me even more unacceptable was that the one in the mirror was smiling at me weirdly. I looked at the woman in the mirror in amazement, and my body trembled a little.
"Mengchao, thanks to your help, the actress can't do this action when she is injuredγγγγγγ" The curator said as he walked up to me.
I wasn't listening to what he was saying at all, I looked in the mirror, and I suddenly became the female corpse in the mirror, "Ah!! With a shout, he pushed away the curator and ran out directly.
I ran all the way down the street, but wherever there were mirrors, I avoided them, and it wasn't until I was tired of running that I began to walk slowly, and the people passing by kept looking at me. For the first time in my life, I know what it means to have a 100% return rate.
"Is this a costume show? This woman is so tall and beautiful. β
"Beauty, add a WeChat"
"Look, her eyes are gray, half-blood?"
"Look, isn't it an Internet celebrity?"
"Is it okay to take a picture?"
I was terrified, because the look in their eyes reminded me of the way people looked at me when I became a container, I wasn't a monster, I wasn't! So I started running again, throwing away the long wig on my head and wiping the makeup off my face as I ran. Stumbling home. Why is the body out of control, it's not normal, it's definitely not normal! I collapsed on the bed, huddled in a ball. It's serious, if it's the ghost, then is it called a ghost?
I slept all night, and the next day I took my leave. Xiaoli came to see me and brought me a lot of delicious food. Looking at this kind girl, my heart was warm, gently holding her in my arms, feeling her heartbeat, and she looked at me, the smile on the corner of her mouth was really beautiful. I looked down and slowly approached, trying to kiss her. Suddenly, a strand of long hair floated in front of my eyes, I instantly opened my eyes and saw that it was not my girlfriend in front of me, but the woman in the coffin, and I screamed in fright and pushed her away.
"Mengchao, what are you doing here?" The girl suddenly shouted.
