001. Memories in nightmares, rising fires
——There are always some roads in life that have to be taken, even if you know that the future is difficult, even if you know that you will never return......
In the dense forest at the end of summer, the grass and trees sway back and forth, and mosquitoes are overwhelming. The sky was dark, the sunset was shallow, and there was very little sunlight that could pass through the cracks between the branches and leaves, and only a small part of the light stubbornly squeezed in, illuminating the limited space, but it was also extremely limited.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the insects were calling more and more, Lin Yuan stepped step by step, carefully and skillfully, he walked around one of the largest trees, and not far in front of him was a deserted wooden house with all kinds of strange graffiti on it.
"Kim Yongchang is a bastard." Lin Yuan read softly, reading to himself.
He still seemed to be able to see the joy of this place, even though everything in front of him had long since fallen into ruin. Lin Yuan's heart was blocked, the tip of his nose was sour, and a kind of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, smashing down a mosquito that wanted to suck blood.
After a moment's pause, he walked on, skirting the hut, behind which was a small grave with a small plank standing as a tombstone.
Lin Yuan squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tombstone, the crooked handwriting on it had already been almost wiped out by time, but he could read the words on it, and he also knew whose grave it was.
"Bullet, I've always felt sorry for you for letting you stay in this small place for so many years." He closed his eyes and said softly, "But I think you'll like it, right?" Aren't you the most popular here?"
"This is your home, you treat this as your home, you treat me as a relative, so this is also my home, I will come to accompany you soon, believe me."
Lin Yuan took out a brand-new four-wheel drive vehicle from his backpack, with tears in his eyes, he put the four-wheel drive car in front of the grave, grabbed two handfuls of soil and filled it on the grave, and said something in his mouth: "You listen to me slowly, in the past ten years, the outside has changed too much......
Suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, Lin Yuan didn't know how to continue, there were too many stories outside, when should he start?
"Forget it, you wait for me below, and I'll tell you when I go down!"
The toad croaked in the back, and it seemed that he wanted to continue listening, so he could only make a cry to urge, but in fact, he was only staring at the huge mosquitoes around Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's tears fell, and the more he cried, the louder he became, "Let me tell you, I have done a great job." I used to run away, but the day before yesterday I came back, you must want to ask me what I did when I came back, right? I tell you, I avenged you, and I sent them all down to accompany you......"
"Happy? You must be happy!"
"Wait a minute, I have one last thing to do!" When Lin Yuan said this, he suddenly suppressed his painful emotions, his face was full of hatred and disgust, and he was murderous.
A burst of bright light struck, and it was so bright in the dark forest that it was too bright to look at.
Lin Yuan's body trembled, and the hand that grabbed the strap of the backpack was clenched tightly, leaving a row of eye-catching nail marks in the palm of his hand, he pretended to turn around, but in fact rolled sideways and flew out with a puff of smoke.
He knows the terrain better than anyone else, and he is confident that he will leave anyone behind here.
"Don't move! Police!" Someone roared from behind, but Lin Yuan was not affected by his roar in the slightest, and continued to run as fast as he could, like a monkey on a tree.
Lin Yuan was anxious, he didn't understand how the police found here, it was impossible, there were obviously only three people here!
"Bang!"
A gunshot shook down countless fallen leaves, Lin Yuan stopped in response, and after noticing that there was nothing abnormal in his body, he was about to continue running, but a shout came from behind: "If you run again, I will really shoot you!"
"Put your head in your hands and squat!"
Lin Yuan sighed, disheartened, he raised his hands above the top, slowly turned around, and saw more than a dozen heavily armed policemen staring at him vigilantly, and more than a dozen black muzzles were also locking his head, at this time, as long as he moved a little beyond the norm, the next moment his brain would bloom.
Do you want to be liberated like that? Lin Yuan thought.
No, not yet, those people have to pay for what they have done!
He wanted to live.
The moonlight was like water, penetrating into the dense forest little by little, irrigating the thin grass, Lin Yuan's toes grasped the ground, and at this time, an animal howl suddenly sounded not far away, the policemen were startled, and Lin Yuan was also startled, because they were all tense their nerves.
As an outlaw, Lin Yuan had already cultivated a body of agility, including nerves. He was the first to react, just relying on this early 0/2 to escape again, the dark clouds very unfortunately covered the moon, Lin Yuan escaped very smoothly, because the forest was already dark, the police were very angry, but they also had to blindly follow the direction in which Lin Yuan disappeared, they were not fast, step by step, no one knew if there would be a trap here, and no one was willing to lose their lives in this harsh environment.
For the most evil people who killed three people in a row, the police took every step of the way, because the other party knew that they were going to die, so they were no longer afraid of anything, even the heavily armed police.
Lin Yuan was very glad that he didn't just give up his life, whether it was the animals here or the clouds in the sky, they were trying their best to create a chance for him to escape, since he could escape, then he had to complete all his tasks, otherwise who could he be worth?
Lin Yuan thought about the bullet, thought about Jin Yongchang, and thought about her, he felt as if he had infinite motivation, his steps were getting faster and faster, and the tears were getting farther and farther away, and his vision was already blurred, because his eyes were full of tears. He kept running and running, even if he couldn't see clearly, as if the person he missed was waiting for him in front of him and waving to him.
The distance had been thrown away far, far away, and the surroundings fell silent again, Lin Yuan suddenly stepped on the air, and the whole person began to fall, his mind was dizzy, as if it was stuffed with paste.
Below is the dark abyss.
That's it...... Is it over?
……
The man who was sleeping in the darkness suddenly shuddered and opened his eyes, and he sat up, only to find that the sweat had already soaked his pajamas.
He fumbled to open his phone, and the strong light made his eyes feel a strong tingling sensation, and after a while, he could see the time clearly.
10.15 a.m. 2:53.
Sure enough, it is still the same, and there is no change at all.
Lin Yuan sat motionless on the bed, she turned off her mobile phone, her eyes were a little focused, there was no sound around her at all, and the silence was terrifying.
The weather in the north in October has begun to get noticeably colder, and the cold wind is blowing outside, and from time to time there is a strange sound, which sounds like a group of shamans in a Western fantasy novel chanting a spell together, and I don't know what kind of spell is being cast.
Lin Yuan turned over and got out of bed, and took out the unknown cigarette that had been dusted in the cabinet for a long time, there were only three left, he was stunned, and after a while, he lit one awkwardly, and did not put it to his mouth, just took it, his eyes moved with the smoke that slowly rose, he liked this very much, because it could calm him down.
The wind outside was getting stronger and the clouds were gathering more and more, it was the quietest time of the day, most of the people were asleep, even the street lamps were starting to sleep, only he was awake, quietly watching everything silent outside the window, of course, the howling cold wind was an exception.
Lin Yuan sighed and muttered softly.
"Three whole years."
The voice was very numb, and perhaps he didn't even hear how much sadness there was in this sentence.
He stretched out his hand, and then suddenly forced, the dead wood-like arm burst out of the green tendons, he wanted to push the window open, but unfortunately he didn't have any strength now, he could only push little by little, little by little.
Although the process was difficult, he succeeded in the end, the cold wind was like the river water blocked by the dam, and at the moment when the dam suddenly pulled out, a wave of brain poured in, blowing his limbs numb, and the stinging sensation was like a blade cutting through every inch of his body.
The things in the house suddenly became chaotic, the garbage cans were blown to the ground, countless cigarette butts and ashes were scattered, the cigarette butts fell to the ground, and the ashes were scattered in the air.
Time seemed to freeze, and the cigarette butt in Lin Yuan's hand flew away from his hand, and he didn't care where it went, because he didn't look back at all, even a glance.
Stretching out his slender and pale hand, he gently closed the window, and the wind in the room suddenly stopped, and in only two seconds, everything settled and returned to calm. And the wind is still strong outside, and the world and hell are divided again, but there is only a window in between.
Hell, actually, is really close.
Sighing lightly, Lin Yuan turned around unhurriedly, walked to the side of the bed with a swing, and took out a notebook with a brand new appearance but an old interior from the cabinet at the bottom of the bedside table, and just looked at it, motionless.
Regardless of whether the room was a mess or not, Lin Yuan walked barefoot around the dozens of square meters of the house again and again, flipping through the notebook in his hand page after page.
As if he had made some kind of major decision, Lin Yuan suddenly closed the notebook again, opened it again with the sound of exhalation, and then took out the lighter in his right hand, clicked the fire, the movements were coherent, and the flames suddenly churned, and the flames reflected in his eyes were like scorching flames, but they only brought him a little warmth.
It was this little warmth that made his heart gradually calm down.
The burning notebook is his diary, and it can be said that this is his murderous plan.
Half a notebook, dozens of pages of murder plans!
tore up the murder plan, but he couldn't tear off the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for several years.
It is this strong hatred that has sustained him to the present, anger and depression in his heart, complementing each other but opposing each other.
For three whole years, he had the same or similar dreams almost every day, and the dreams were short, or they could be said to be long.
For others, the day is divided into day and night, but for him, the day is divided into day, night, and 2.53 in the morning.
Every morning at 2.53 a.m., he wakes up from a nightmare, a dark cycle that tortures people to commit suicide, and he resisted it alone for three years.
Sunrise and sunset, three whole years.
"Live well."
These are the words that the most important person in his life has said to him, and it is these five words that allow him to support and live in the world, like blood flowing in his body.
The notebook burned out, turning a thick black on the ground, and from time to time ashes drifted through the air.
Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of high heels hitting the ground, compact and urgent.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of knocking on the door echoed in his ears, and Lin Yuan didn't move, his eyes were like nails, nailed to the ashes on the ground.
Through the ashes, Lin Yuan seemed to see something different, it was a full brilliance.
The remnants of the color photograph shone brightly in the dim light.
