Chapter 21 The Caged Sparrow
"Lin Candle, where are you going?"
Bai Xiao found a window seat in the restaurant, but the reception staff didn't come out for a long time, so he had to pick up the magazines at hand and flip through them to relieve his boredom. She caught a glimpse of Lin Candle leaving in another direction, and as if she wasn't ready to call her along, she hurriedly stood up and asked.
"I'll go over there and see if there's a flight attendant." Lin Zhu lied.
"Oh, then I'll wait for you here." Bai Xiao's peace of mind calmed down and sat back down.
"I'll see you later."
The moment she lifted the curtain between the two cabins, Lin Candle saw Amy and Changle at a glance, followed by Lu Chang and Wu Chen, who had been mediating with her for a long time.
"Lin Candle is here? Woke up? Su Qiang greeted first.
"Hasn't Lu Chang woken up yet?"
"I don't know, there's no movement."
Changle over there put down the bloodstained fire extinguisher in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and beckoned, "It's okay, candle?" ”
Lin Zhu shook his head.
At this moment, Wu Chen's face was covered with blood, his cheeks and the corners of his eyes were swollen from congestion, he was unrecognizable, and he was probably not conscious.
"Xiaolin Candle is here." He struggled to lift his head.
"Get out of the way."
"It was a nightmare... How can I get him out, he makes his own choices, and he is the only one who can stop the game. Wu Chen looked like he couldn't do it.
"Hell, you're still leashing that little guy to negotiate?" After hearing this, Changle raised the fire extinguisher again.
"Whether I negotiate or not, I can't control his dreams." Wu Chen shook his head, "That's out of my control anymore." ”
It's getting dark.
Lu Chang didn't know how long he had been sitting against the wall, and he must have had a cold butt and numb legs and feet in the past. The students who had eaten dinner had already returned to the classroom, ready for the evening self-study, and the sound of reading was heard in the classroom. There are many students coming and going in the corridor, some of them are in a daze on the terrace, chatting in twos and threes; More in the spare time of studying, rushing to the toilet.
Sitting on the ground has the advantages of sitting on the ground, such as being able to see a lot of low-angle scenery. The skirts in the summer swept in front of his eyes, and the thin lotus-like calves dangled in front of his eyes, young and beautiful.
Lu Chang was quietly waiting for that time to come.
When the bell rings, the students in the hallways and classrooms take their places, and the entire school building falls silent.
Time flows minute by minute, just let it pass, the time in the dream is not worth much anyway.
I don't know what happened to Lin Candle.
At about seven o'clock, it suddenly began to rain. The wind was blowing in the corridor, it must have been cold, but unfortunately Lu Chang couldn't feel anything.
There was the sound of rain everywhere. The sound of rain running down the drain pipes, the irritating sound of the rain hitting the ceiling, the crackling of the rain on the plantain leaves, the wind carrying the windshield across the corridor, the side near the railing was soaked, and the water stains on the floor were clearly visible, looking like a splash of ink.
Nine o'clock was soon here.
First heard the bell for the end of class, and didn't wait long, Lu Chang saw himself walking out of the front door, and Su Qiang followed and trotted all the way behind.
He got up and followed.
He could recite the conversations along the way, too many times, too many times to repeat the dream fragments. But it seems that I'm in a dream now.
He followed out of the north gate.
followed into the community.
When he reached the security room, he entered through the door. The lights were out in the security room, the tea in the teacup was still hot, and Lu Chang saw some fog on the mirror next to the teacup.
It should have been there just now.
He came out of the door and continued to chase the two men.
The two walked to the place where Lu Chang woke up and stood still.
One crouched down, the other with an umbrella.
Lu Chang didn't take his eyes off for a second.
Come on, whether you are a human or a ghost, a spirit or a miracle, you who have opened your eyes to heaven will have full confidence to see the truth behind all coincidences or premeditations.
Suddenly disappears.
It's like a female ghost who appears behind a mirror in a horror movie, suddenly disappearing, but never suddenly appearing again.
Nothing approached her.
Nothing.
Lu Chang saw himself who was looking around like crazy, and he kept running towards the exit of the community...
If I had to do it again, I'd have seen it, he thought.
The dream seemed to hear his reply, crumbling in a structural way familiar to him. The night and the sky split apart, the sunlight peeked through the cracks, and the ground was crisscrossed with ravines like earthworm scars.
Familiar streetlights, familiar scenes, familiar everything.
"What do you mean it's out of your control? Fill me with garlic here. Changle swept the weapon in his hand, it was completely torture to extract a confession.
"Because the rules are set, that dream is independent, it is his dream, I just show him what he wants to see."
"What are the nightmares? Besieged by a swarm of cockroaches? Falling into a spider's nest? ”
"It's not that disgusting, it may be the test paper that you didn't do well in the college entrance examination, the first love who broke up, or the moment when your family was in a car accident."
"Then how is the dream over?"
"It depends. Where do I know what his dreams are, I repeat, I just let him see what he wants to see. Maybe he wants to do it all over again? ”
Changle was silent. "Why do you want to be on the road? He's obviously an ordinary stupid boy. ”
"Except for fools, who casually jumps into nightmares." Wu Chen waved his hand.
Lu Chang in the dream woke up for the eighth time.
Not clear skies, deserted paths, tall freshly painted railings, scattered green belts.
There are also dreams that fall apart and never end.
For the first time, Lu Chang felt how much the word eternal came at a price. In fact, even if he has had enough of the dream itself, he still cannot meet the conditions for leaving the dream, that is, he will always be in the dream.
It's really a dead end.
Lu Chang touched the inner pocket.
The knife hidden in his sleeve had long since been confiscated, and he had no tools on his body to use, and everything around him had no effect on him.
Except for one thing.
A wine opener.
Lu Chang looked at the screw-like screw, excited and stunned.
For the first time in this world, he could touch another object.
But I'm going to kill myself with this thing.
It's ridiculous to the extreme.
Lu Chang closed his eyes, very frightened and aimed at the approximate location of his heart.
It takes a few strokes of this spiral to penetrate the heart. What should I do if I faint in pain? What to do if you get stuck in your ribs? He felt his head grow for a while, but it seemed like the only way out.
On the plane, Wu Chen was wrapped tightly by strips of cloth from nowhere, and a whole orange was stuffed in his mouth, which made his face scar faintly painful.
"Bai Xiao is still sitting alone over there, I still have to go back."
"How is she? Were you frightened? Changle asked.
"No, she just thought it was a dream."
“yeah! It's great, this time the salary didn't run, and the main culprits were all killed. ”
Lin Zhu sighed, his expression depressed, "I don't know when Lu Chang will wake up." ”
"Why don't we go to the room and wait for him while we eat, drink, and be merry? Immediately the people on the plane are going to wake up. ”
"What about Jibu?" Amy asked.
"Broken bones and ashes. Are you really going to let me go back and listen to him? But if he wants to speak, it doesn't hurt to listen. ”
Wu Chen, who was on the side, writhed desperately after hearing this, trying to attract attention.
"You liar full of lies, shut up your mother." Changle punched him in the head, and Wu Chen immediately quieted down.
"Wait." Su Qiang suddenly exclaimed, "That guy Lu Chang seems to have woken up." ”
"What should I do, do I want him to know that his old classmate has been with him for more than ten days, every day and night, and he has been protecting his safety for a moment..."
"It's up to you, Su Qiang." Changle thought for a moment, "Anyway, he should know sooner or later." ”
"So what if he scolds me? Can any of you help me persuade him to dissipate his anger? Su Qiang asked with sincerity on her face.
"I can help you scold him." Changle said very interestingly,
"Vice President Lin, why don't you tell him about my situation first, and I'm coming out to tell him the truth?"
"This..."Changle pondered for a long time, "it's not impossible... But so on..."
