Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Dream of Thirty Years Old
Li Damin asked: "Wang Yuantong, which exploration system did you belong to?" ”
Wang Yuantong smiled: "Captain, this seems to be a confidentiality regulation." It doesn't matter where I'm from, what matters is that now we're a team. ”
"Team?" Li Damin smiled: "This word is very fresh, the meaning expressed is very accurate, we usually only call it 'team'." ”
"Yes, hehe." Wang Yuantong laughed in the dark and said nothing more.
Now is not the time to chew words with him. Li Damin turned around and asked Chen Jian if he could remember the origin of the harmonica.
Chen Jian, the child, was very frightened, with tears in his eyes, his whole body was like a swing, and he didn't know anything when he asked.
Li Damin took the harmonica, stuffed it into one of his secret pockets, and told them that he would keep it first.
When they set off again, the atmosphere in the group became dull and eerie, and everyone was preoccupied. Li Damin was thinking about how to break the barrier, Wang Yuantong didn't know what he was thinking, he hid at the end of the team, his eyes were rolling around.
After walking a long distance, there was a turn in front of me, as if I had reached some middle line. Turn into it and it's darker inside. The area we are in is also very dark, and the situation inside seems to be even darker.
Li Damin was about to go over, and I reminded him, "Damin, look at Chen Jian. ”
Li Damin turned his head and used a flashlight to shine it, Chen Jian stood in place with a pale face, trembling like chaff, his legs were like noodles, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
Wang Yuan went to support him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Chen Jian held back for a long time, and looked up at Li Damin, "Team, captain, I'm afraid of ......"
"Afraid of what?" Li Damin frowned.
Chen Jian trembled and said: "I can feel inside, it's terrifying inside, and the more I go inside, the more scared I become." There's something inside......"
"We are a team," Li Damin said and glanced at Wang Yuantong: "The three of us help each other and take care of each other, there will be no problem." Don't you want to do your job well? Don't want to prove it to your dad? ”
Chen Jian lowered his head, his shoulders trembled, and he was sobbing: "I, I'm still scared." ”
Wang Yuantong asked, what are you afraid of, afraid that there are ghosts inside?
"It's not a ghost." The more Chen Jian cried, the more sad he became: "I don't know what I'm afraid of, but I'm afraid, and there seems to be something hidden in the cave that scares me very much." ”
I whispered beside Li Damin: "The last hurdle is related to the most difficult experience and demons in Chen Jian's life. ”
Li Damin nodded, indicating that he understood.
He squatted down, touched Chen Jian's head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with the captain here, with your Uncle Wang, we will help you tide over the difficulties together, okay?" ”
Wang Yuantong laughed: "I'm his brother, not uncle." ”
With such a gag, Chen Jian sneered, and the pressure was relieved a lot.
Li Damin put his arm around his shoulders, half supporting and half clamping, forcing Chen Jian into the darkness around the corner.
As soon as I entered here, I obviously felt that the light of the flashlight had diminished for a few minutes. It used to be at least four or five meters, but now it has been shortened to less than three meters, and the darkness around us is like a wall surging in from all directions, squeezing us tightly in the middle.
Walking in this pitch-black environment is a huge torture for the nerves, and you can't see anything, like walking in the vast dark universe.
Li Damin was very careful and experienced, and he led the team along the cave wall, making an arrow mark on the wall every five steps. None of the three spoke, as if a mouth would disturb something.
As he walked, Li Damin beckoned his teammates to sit down and rest, and they once again replenished their hydration and biscuits. Chen Jian had some difficulty breathing, and his face was terrifyingly white, like a piece of paper.
Supposedly, in this case, according to the regulations and experience of exploration, it is no longer possible to carry him forward. But after all, it is not an exploration in reality, but in the realm of the bardo, Chen Jian must follow, and only he can break the final difficulty.
If he can't break it, he will fall from the bardo realm to the underworld, and then he will really die. If he can break it, our mission will be completed, and we will all be happy to take him to reincarnate with him.
Li Damin showed his true colors as a captain at this time, half holding hostage and half persuading, Wang Yuantong was equivalent to a commendator, singing and harmonizing with Li Damin. What Chen Jian couldn't refuse was that he had always wanted to make an appearance to show his father, and Li Damin came to attack his heart.
Chen Jian was finally persuaded and continued with the team.
As he walked, Li Damin suddenly stopped, shone his flashlight in front of him, and another corner appeared.
And it is extremely strange that the darkness behind this corner is a layer darker than the area where it is now, and a clear dividing line can be seen.
Li Damin hesitated for a moment, Wang Yuantong walked over and said softly: "Captain, at least it shows that our route is correct." ”
"How?" Li Damin asked.
"At every corner, the darkness of the darkness is in a state of gradual progression," Wang Yuantong said. ”
"You can do it." Li Damin smiled faintly.
Wang Yuantong touched his bare head and said: "I just make some suggestions, and in the end, you have to take the big idea." ”
"Now I have no choice but to keep going." Li Damin beckoned Chen Jian to his side and took his hand and went in together.
"Wait," Wang Yuantong shouted, "Captain, I suddenly thought of something. ”
"Say."
He touched his bare head and said, "What if the darkness goes on layer by layer, and finally the flashlight is so dark that it doesn't work?" ”
"Then touch and walk." Li Damin said: "Your hands are long, right? ”
Wang Yuantong smiled and didn't speak, and obediently followed behind.
The team entered a new corner, and the flashlight light distance was shortened by half, and it could only shine in an area less than a meter in front of them.
One meter away, that is, one step or so, to be honest, there is not much difference between the presence and absence of this light.
As the march lengthened, everyone's footsteps were as heavy as lead, and if Chen Jian hadn't been supported by Li Damin, it was estimated that he would have softened on the ground.
Chen Jian suddenly said with a look in his eyes: "Captain, I know what kind of place this is. ”
When the team stopped, Li Damin wiped the sweat on his head and told Wang Yuantong to sit down and rest. The two of them helped Chen Jian sit down, and Li Damin asked what the place was.
Chen Jian stared straight at the darkness in front of him and said, "I remember having a dream when I was thirty years old......
Wang Yuantong hurriedly said: "Hey, you are only fourteen years old, how can you remember the dream of thirty years old......
Li Damin interrupted him: "Don't interject, listen carefully." ”
Wang Yuantong smacked his lips and continued to listen with his eyes squinted.
"The night I turned thirty was supposed to be a summer night, and it was very hot. I slept very unsteadily, tossed and turned, got up to go to the bathroom, looked at my watch, it was about four o'clock in the morning, lying on the pillow, and had a dream in a daze. Chen Jian's throat moved.
Li Damin and Wang Yuantong did not speak, but listened quietly.
Chen Jian said: "I dreamed that I was walking with a group of people in an extremely dark cave, and from time to time there would be a loud noise from the depths of the cave, which should be the cry of some large creature, like an old cow, but to me, the voice seemed to call my name. I was very scared. In the dream, I couldn't control myself, I just walked forward, and I saw that I was about to go to the deepest part, when I saw a wetsuit on the ground. ”
"Wetsuit?" Wang Yuantong couldn't help but ask.
"I see," Chen Jian said, "the dream gave me instructions that at the very deep of the cave there was a huge pool of water, and that creature was underwater. I'm going to go into the pool and find it......"
He stood up as he spoke, and Li Damin saw that he was not in a normal state of mind, and yelled: "Calm down! ”
Chen Jian shuddered and came to his senses. Looking back at Li Damin, he cried and lay in Li Damin's arms, "Brother Damin, I'm afraid, this is my dream, I'm in my dream, I want to wake up." ”
"Hehe," Wang Yuantong smiled: "Chen Jian, I found out that you are really a child, this is a real place to exist, how can it be your dream?" It's still your dream of being thirty years old, it's too exaggerated. ”
Li Damin waved his hand and motioned for him to stop talking.
After Chen Jian cried for a while, his mood eased, and Li Damin began to persuade him not to be afraid, this is an ordinary geological cave, and it is normal for the cave to be dark, because he has already traveled to the hinterland of the mountain.
"Brother Damin, let's go back." Chen Jian cried and begged.
Li Damin moved out of the killer again, "You don't want your father to be proud of you?" ”
Somehow, this sentence seemed to be clubbing Chen Jian's lung tube, he stood up and breathed rapidly, "Brother Damin, I remembered, I remembered that dream, this hole is also related to my father, the hole was made by him!" ”
When I heard this, I was completely stunned, and Li Damin and Wang Yuantong also looked at each other.
"Even if your father is a big professor, how can he build a cave out of thin air, haha," Wang Yuantong smiled: "I'm afraid you're stupid." ”
"My dad is in the deepest part of the cave," Chen Jian breathed extremely quickly: "I, I can't see him, I can't!" ”
Saying that he was about to run, Li Damin grabbed it quickly. Chen Jian was like a crazy calf, trying to run, and his strength was like hysteria.
Li Damin was anxious and shouted: "Wang Yuantong, what are you doing stupidly?!" ”
Wang Yuantong walked over, his hand rose and fell, and it was slashing at the back of Chen Jian's neck, the child didn't say a word, and fell to the ground softly and didn't move.
