Chapter 27: Doubts

Sure enough, I dreamed again. It's very similar to last night's dream, but there is only a thick fog in front of you. It seems that they know that the four of us have agreed, and it is a dream, so there can't be some other way of "contact"? I complained to myself.

I still chose to stand still and wait for them to come to me. However, I didn't wait for Yun Feiyu or Xia Mengyou or Ye Fenglan, but waited for the future me.

"Oh? Why did you go out in person this time? What about the three of them? ”

"Of course, such an important thing should be said in person. As for the other three...... I guess they're still playing outside or at home. ”

"Huh?" I was puzzled.

"Who told you to fall asleep in the middle of the day, and you can sleep enough to wake up for a few hours? After three or four hours, I fell asleep again. I'm all for you. ”

"Hey, hey." I smiled and said, "It's kind of sleepy." ”

"Let's get straight to the point. At ten o'clock tonight, the downtown square, see you or leave. ”

"Wait. What about our parents? ”

"Someone will be responsible for pretending to be you."

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reflected, "Since you can pretend to be us, you can go by yourself, and ask us to take risks." ”

"Can a fake person be the same as a real person?" After saying that, he disappeared directly. Doesn't give me time to ask questions at all.

In an instant, I was back in my bedroom again, lying on the bed in a daze. Ten o'clock in the evening? I got up and opened the curtains and looked out the window, the sky was already dark. I looked at my watch again: 18:38. Let's go out for dinner. After thinking about it, he got out of bed and stood up. Huh? Wait, what about the glass beads? I looked at my empty hands in confusion, and then immediately crawled onto the bed to look for the glass orb. After confirming that there was no bed, under the bed or on my body, then I could be sure that she should have "taken" it.

I got everything ready to go out.

It's almost seven o'clock, but the number of people on the street has not decreased, it seems that there are more, probably because it is too hot during the day, and they all choose to come out at night to have fun. Passing by people of all shapes, I controlled myself and tried not to think about the big things.

I took out my headphones, and a great way to relax my brain was to listen to music. Music is also something amazing, it can represent many things: mood, culture, feelings, ideas...... I was immersed in the world of music and couldn't help myself. Before I knew it, I had walked to the central square, and I didn't seem to want to eat so much. I found a double chair and sat down, staring at the people who were almost all over the square, no one should know that there was a big secret beneath their feet.

I suddenly felt a tap on my left shoulder, and I couldn't help but turn my head to see an unfamiliar face appear in front of my eyes. It's a girl, she looks a little younger than me, maybe she has just finished her third year of junior high school or the first year of high school. Wearing a square-rimmed glasses and short hair. Why does this look feel interesting and familiar, can't it be her again...... Probably not, she shouldn't be so idle, looking for me twice a day.

"Excuse me, that is, the ......" she was hesitant, and she didn't know what she wanted to say.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I took off the earphone in my left ear.

"That's it...... Can I sit next to you? Those seats seemed to be full. She smiled slightly awkwardly, and smiled quite nicely.

"Are you going to ......," I asked casually.

A drawing board suddenly changed out of her hand, and she smiled and said, "Sketch, finish your homework." ”

I moved to my right, moved her out of place, didn't speak, and put my headphones back on.

"Thank you." She sat down with a smile and pulled out a small drawing board and a few pens. It seems that it is about to start work. Sketching? I'm here to draw people. I looked at the tools in her hand, then turned to look at the people playing in the middle of the square. The aunts who danced the square dance also gathered, and it seems that they are ready to start.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in his face, and the leaves on the trees next to him began to sway, making a faint rustling sound. It is refreshing to be able to enjoy such an evening breeze in such a hot season, and those worries in my brain seem to be blown away, and I feel relaxed in an instant, and I can't help but close my eyes and want to feel it.

"Oops." She was sitting next to me and suddenly screamed.

I opened my eyes to look at her and casually asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She squinted her right eye and took off her glasses and said, "It's nothing, it looks like a piece of sand has blown into your eye." As he spoke, he began to rub his eyes.

"Alright, it's okay." After a while she lowered her hand, and for a moment I saw the side of her face, and then she put her glasses back on and focused once more on the painting in her hand.

No wonder it feels a little familiar. I thought to myself. This side face is very similar to Xia Mengyu. I smiled inwardly again. That look made me feel very similar to her. Suddenly I felt my stomach resisting me, and oops, I forgot to eat. Thinking about it, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Are you leaving?" She asked, seeing me standing up.

"Ang, I haven't eaten yet." As I spoke, I prepared to take my step.

"Then go and eat, don't go hungry. Good bye. She smiled at me again, and smiled sweetly. I thought about the way she took off her glasses, and it seemed that she really looked a little like Xia Mengyou.

"Well, goodbye." I said that and left. What to eat? Let's go to the one that eats at noon, that one is pretty good.

Just a few steps away, I heard her suddenly shout from behind, "Eh!"

I turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You come here first." He waved to me.

With a puzzled look on my face, I walked over again. "What's wrong?"

"Someone asked me to give you something." She pointed to my right hand with her chin as she spoke, motioning for me to reach out.

"What's that?" I asked, holding out my right hand. She fumbled in her pants pocket with her right hand, and then something landed on mine. When I saw it, it was a ball of paper, very ordinary, and I even felt that it was a scrapped painting by her. I looked at her quizzically.

"See what I do? I haven't seen it. She pushed the glasses off her face and turned her head back to continue drawing hers.

"Who gave it to you?"

"A little sister." She hadn't even looked at me, "Seems to be about the same age as the two of us." She also said that she couldn't see you, so she had to find someone to give this to you for her. ”

"Oh, thank you." I grabbed the ball of paper and turned to leave, "Excuse me, goodbye." With that, he took a step.

"No thanks, goodbye."

I took a few steps and opened the paper to see what was written and then to see who wrote it.

"Caution". There were only these two words on this piece of paper, and I turned it over again and continued to observe, and found that this white paper only had these two words. "Be cautious." What does that mean? So who is going to give it to me? About my age, woman...... Wouldn't it be her again? Probably not, she could have put those two words in the glass beads and told me, instead of asking someone to give it to me in the evening. So who is going to give it to me? You can't say it to your face yet.

Look at these two words again, even if no one gives me this paper ball, I will be cautious step by step, isn't this nonsense, how to say it, this is also a gamble. On the way to the restaurant, I casually threw the paper ball into a trash can.

Who could that person be? Who are they in the future? No, they said they couldn't be exposed to the public. The more futuristic group? It's so far away that I don't know anything about them, and I can't analyze anything. Who else could there be? It's really annoying! This question mark is a wave that has not yet subsided, and a wave is coming again. I shook my head and tried to throw out all the question marks, but it didn't feel useful, and the question marks kept popping up one after another.

Before I knew it, I had already walked to the door of the hotel, thought about it, and walked in. I ordered food and sat down. Looking at my watch: 19:17. The protest in my stomach is getting louder, after all, I haven't eaten in so long. Waiting, the phone rang suddenly, I took out my phone and looked: Yun Feiyu. Damn, this kid called me three times this day, what's the matter?

"Hello?" I still picked up my phone and connected it.

"Where are you?" To open your mouth is to ask where I am.

"What's wrong?"

"You just say where you are, something is looking for you."

"What can't you talk about on the phone?"

"I can't tell you on the phone." Yun Feiyu looked very eager.

"It's in this restaurant where I ate at noon today."

"Okay, don't leave, wait for me, twenty minutes." After saying that, he hung up the phone. I stared at the glowing phone screen, frowned, and put the phone back in my pocket.

I put the phone down, and before I could pull it out, the phone rang again. No way! I cursed in my heart, and took out my phone again, it turned out to be Xia Mengyou. These two people are endlessly going on today.

"Hello?" I got on the phone.

"Where are you?" Asked me where I was again?!

"What's wrong with the downtown plaza here?"

"The specific location, I have something to look for you." Why are you looking for me again?

"Meet in the middle of the downtown plaza at eight o'clock." This time, I didn't have a mother-in-law, but chose to take the initiative.

"Half past seven." Xia Mengyou advanced by another half hour.

"I haven't eaten yet." I pleaded.

"Why are you eating so late?"

"Overplayed at home."

"Then it's eight o'clock, don't be late."

"Good, good." I was promising that Xia Mengyou had already hung up the phone. What's going on? Anyway, they have something to do with me. As it happens, I also have questions for them. I'll have to eat quickly, or I'll starve to death later.

……

As soon as I finished eating, I saw Yun Feiyu walk in, and after glancing at him, he came over and sat down opposite me.

"What are you looking for me?" I pulled a napkin and wiped my mouth. I suddenly felt that the movement was very formal, as if I wanted to talk about something very important.

"About the two women."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up."

"Hey, you're still ...... like this"

"Xia Mengyou still wants me to meet her in the square at eight o'clock." After saying that, I looked at my watch again, "There are twenty minutes left." ”

"Okay." Yun Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I just wanted to tell you about the sudden agreement of those two women this afternoon. ”

"Do you think it's weird too?"

"Of course, I agreed when I got up from sleep. It's not about being a cheerleader, it's about working hard, how can it be so easy. ”

"Tell me what you want to say."

"I asked Ye Fenglan, but she was just perfunctory, she didn't explain, she just said that she had figured it out. But you know, how can it be so easy to figure it out? ”

"I know that Xia Mengyou probably won't say it, so I didn't ask." I exhaled, relaxed, and continued, "What do you think? ”

"I think maybe the future group approached them. They found that the two women were still reluctant to go after a long day, so they approached them and chatted. ”

"I don't think so."

"Oh? So what do you think? ”

"I think they may have forced them or threatened them."

"It seems that your idea is more reliable." Yun Feiyu smiled.

"I don't know what those four people on the other side of the screen think." I smiled too, knowing full well that the four of them were watching us right under our feet.

"I'll find out tonight."

"Did you get a message?" I asked, "How did he tell you?" ”

"Mobile phone information."

"Who is the sender?"

"Of course I don't know, but at the end of that message, I was signed by the future me."

"I'll look at that message."

"It was automatically deleted after I read it."

"There's a lot of means."

"What about you? How do you know? ”

I was about to say that I had a nap in the afternoon, and immediately thought about the reason why I fell asleep, and then panicked: "Didn't Xia Mengyou and Ye Fenglan suddenly agree?" There are so many questions that my head is going to explode. I fell asleep again, and then I ...... "I spread my hands and showed a helpless expression.

"You're good enough to sleep, too."

"Hey, hey." I smiled. Looking at my watch again, it was only a few minutes later, but it was almost time to go.

"There are still ten minutes left, so I'll go first. Go around by yourself, see you at ten o'clock. I said and stood up.

"yes, okay." Yun Feiyu also stood up, "You go first." With that, we walked out of the restaurant.

After separating from Yun Feiyu, I walked straight to the square.

The square was almost crowded with people, and the ears were filled with square dance music and noise. This supposedly dark world is now brightly lit, and people with different backgrounds, different experiences, and different lives will have the same end: death. It's just the time of death, not necessarily. As the old saying goes: be happy in time. Life is so short, how can there be time to save any world? We four high school students, what world are we saving?

Wait a minute! Maybe it's not us who will save the world, or they in the future, it's just ...... They need us, so aren't we just tools?! If they can find someone to pretend to be us, then no one will find out if we die in the future.

No, if we die, they won't survive in the future, right?

No, since we don't know each other in the future, will people who didn't exist in the past reappear in the future? When you think about it, we're in a very disadvantageous position.
