Chapter 7: Dreams
The moment he opened his eyes, he began to struggle, and the water splashed suddenly, and he finally managed to balance his body and find a foothold and stand up.
The maid who had previously fallen into the pool had melted into an unknown liquid and floated on the surface.
Henry Bacon glanced at him, shook his hand and smiled: "It seems that these guys are afraid of water." ”
Wang Feng nodded.
The two of them hurriedly climbed up from the pool, the surrounding environment was extremely depressed, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the villa had become dilapidated at this moment, as if it had stood for a hundred years.
"For us, these things happen in an instant, but they seem to be hundreds of years or so." Wang Feng squatted down and looked at the decaying wood and wire doors, feeling that things were more serious than he had imagined.
"Those monsters are not afraid of water, but they have been consumed over a long period of time."
"How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible, and our time is starting to blur now. It's in a dream, and there's nothing impossible in a dream. ”
Wang Feng took a deep breath and looked at Henry Bacon, and asked, "Have you ever heard of a dream of yellow sorghum?" ”
Henry Bacon shook his head: "So what?" ”
According to legend, Lu Dongbin has been good at reading since he was a child, and he has been drowning in hundreds of schools, but he has repeatedly failed. At the age of forty-six, he met Han Zhongli on the way to take the exam, and then fell asleep, dreaming that he was the champion and the first, the officialdom was proud, and the children and grandchildren were full; But I didn't want to be happy and sad, and suddenly I was convicted of something, my family property was confiscated, my wife was separated, and I finally fell into poverty. After waking up suddenly, the freshly cooked rice was not cooked, this is "a dream of yellow sorghum", Lu Dongbin woke up and realized that fame and fortune were just a dream, so he worshiped Han Zhongli as a teacher and went to Zhongnan Mountain to cultivate. ”
He paused for a moment and then continued: "The flow of time in reality is completely different from the flow of time in dreams, in dreams, time will pass very quickly, but you will not feel it, and you will not realize that you are dreaming, from the beginning, we have been constantly crossing and ...... in two dreams."
Henry Bacon looked anxious: "Then how can we wake up?" ”
"The dead do not rest forever, nor does the wonderful eternal calamity end in death."
"What do you mean?"
"The dead do not sleep forever in the ground, and the calamity does not end because of his eternal sleep, but the cycle continues. From the very beginning we fell into a misunderstanding, we thought that one of the two was a dream and the other was a reality.
But in fact, these two are dreams, and we have been waking up and falling asleep repeatedly in two dreams, and these two dreams are calamities, and the cycle of life and death is not endless, which forms a closed loop. ”
Wang Feng thought of this and looked around again, and the liquid in the pool slowly began to flow to the two of them.
"Run......
Henry Bacon was startled and wanted to run, but Wang Feng was motionless.
He hurriedly grabbed Wang Feng's hand: "Hurry up and run!" ”
Wang Feng shook his head: "Can't run ......"
He hesitated for a moment and then continued: "People feel scared when they see the unknown, and they want to flee when they are afraid. It is precisely because of this that we repeat our dreams over and over again...... If I'm guessing correctly, you can only wake up in reality if you die in a dream. ”
Henry Bacon's legs began to tremble as he looked at the liquid that was gradually taking shape, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit: "How sure are you?" ”
"Let's open five-five!"
Wang Feng wasn't sure if he had gone wrong, maybe this was the only way to escape from the dream, and if he guessed wrong, he would be doomed.
Truth be told, he felt more and more like a gambler, the only difference was that he was gambling with his life.
The liquid began to slowly solidify, and then turned into an ugly monster.
It lunged at the two of them frantically, and let out a roar.
Henry Bacon was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes.
But the moment the monster approached the two, it suddenly disappeared.
Before Wang Feng could react, the monster's claws had already penetrated his body.
The pain was not illusory but very real, and he felt his consciousness blur more and more, and then fell to the ground.
After the pain, a wonderful feeling surrounded him again, and an indescribable smoothness arose.
When he opened his eyes, he was lying on the table, and everything was back to the way it was.
"Hah...... Call...... Call! ”
Henry Bacon also raised his head from the table suddenly, kept taking a deep breath, and he hurriedly looked at Wang Feng: "How is it...... Is it to get rid of the dream? ”
Wang Feng hurriedly ran to the window and found that the angel statue he had seen before was still standing there, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned his head to Henry Bacon and said, "Get rid of ......"
"Great......"
He slumped in his chair.
Wang Feng looked at the window again, a figure flashed in front of the door, and he frowned: "Who is it?" ”
Henry Bacon removed his chair and walked over: "This is a dream?" ”
"Someone is trying to kill us......" Wang Feng pointed to the location where the figure had just disappeared.
"There was a figure flashing through the gate, though I don't know who it was. But his purpose is very clear. ”
"Wait a minute......"
Henry Bacon seemed to have thought of something, and hastened to open the door, where a servant stood by it.
"Sir! Isn't it delicious for dinner? ”
"It feels good......," said Henry Bacon, who was a little puzzled, always feeling as if something was wrong.
He turned his head to look at the dishes and saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched.
"Did you just stand here all this time?"
The maid nodded.
"And how long have I been in?"
"Almost half a minute......"
Henry Bacon was a little panicked, he nodded and quickly closed the door.
"You hear me! We had only been in this room for half a minute, and the dishes on the table had not moved, but I had the impression that we had eaten something. Could it be that my memory is confused? ”
He looked at Wang Feng.
"Maybe from the moment we entered the room, we were controlled by that guy...... Everything that happened after that was in a dream. ”
Wang Feng took a deep breath: "I was almost killed by this guy." ”
Outside the gates.
The man wearing the tengu mask glanced back at the location of Wang Feng and the others, and sneered: "That's it......"
"I don't think so......"
Before, at the station, a man in a trench coat walked over and patted the masked man on the shoulder: "If he can use the shards, maybe you are the one who died...... Now that he can wake up from the dreams you weave, prove that he is a terrible enemy. ”
The man took off his mask, and his all-black eyes were creepy: "Terrible? Didn't feel anything......"
"Let's go!"
The two disappeared into the darkness.
"A big surprise for them...... Merry Christmas. ”
