Chapter 41: Nightmare
Growing up, I rarely had insomnia, I never had nightmares, and I didn't worry about being alone. When I was very young, I missed my parents a lot, and when I grew up, I didn't think about them anymore because I couldn't remember them anymore.
Standing alone on a tall building on such a night, looking at the night scene outside the window, the lights are brilliant, my heart does not fluctuate, as if I am in a different world, and everything here seems out of place with me.
The fire of karma was pervasive, and that night I had the first nightmare of my life, leaning against the corner of the building, I counted my life past, confusion and sleepiness struck, and I seemed to see some huge figures in the slow breathing.
They are like gods and devils, coming from the Shura battlefield, the world is full of fire, there are no towers in the world, there are no roaring locomotives, the sound of steel and concrete breaking echoes in their ears, people shouting around like ants, dust flying everywhere, and not all voices are running away from the hustle and bustle.
In the mist, the piercing roar reverberated in the gut, even if it was knocked away countless times, it still had to choose to fight, it was a rare obsession, an obsession that was so strong that it was not afraid of life and death. Fierce beasts everywhere are brutally slaughtered, weak girls hiding in the corners of the ruins shivering, and stars flickering everywhere, that picture does not belong to this world.
I could feel that the blurred figure resonated strongly with me, he was resentful, he was afraid, he was making difficult choices, I could not see him clearly in my dreams, but the pair of fiery red horns on his forehead were strangely familiar.
I'm pretty sure that I wasn't the one who saved the people in the dream, it felt like a bystander, we all tried to be the protagonist of the story, but when everything around us has nothing to do with you, we unnaturally become spectators in other people's stories.
Pain, scars, steel bars colliding in the flames, high-rise buildings everywhere are collapsing, people are being slaughtered by fierce beasts every minute, flesh and blood are blurred, fragmented, mutilated limbs can be seen everywhere, there are people crying out in pain in the ruins, and some people are waiting for death to come without saying a word.
The air was filled with a sense of despair, I witnessed all the tragedies happening but I was powerless to stop it, the blurred figure on the ruins was still fighting, but everything seemed so insignificant, the girl in the empty square hid in her mother's arms and cried out loudly, the fierce beasts attacked everywhere, the blurred figure came to the rescue with a sword, and hundreds of fierce beast frenzy instantly drowned the place, and then in a blink of an eye it was knocked out again, and the whole square was stained with blood.
The horned boy was exhausted, the lonely mother held her young child in her arms, white snowflakes fell from the blood-red sky, the confrontation between fire and winter, thunder, the earth was torn, and a huge demonic figure covered the entire sky. The frightened mother jumped into the endless crack with her young child in her arms, the horned boy screamed in pain, he was powerless to stop what was happening in front of him, and I watched him beat his chest as if he was in pain!
I opened my eyes suddenly, this is the second time I have seen such a tragic picture, the last time Li Mubai's second soul staged the tragedy of the Jade Toad Palace for us, I saw with my own eyes that the sea of fire was full of blood, but this time, my heart was afraid, I don't know why, maybe it was because the vague horned boy made me have a strong resonance, or maybe it was because that kind of picture made people more desperate, I can't say the reason, I just feel my heart tremble for a while.
I touched the cold sweat on my forehead, and I seemed to see a figure out of the corner of my eye.
"Are you awake?" Bai Yaxi asked.
I looked at the clothes I was wearing, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.
"I used to have weird nightmares, I kept telling myself that I didn't really belong to this world, but I couldn't find my way and I was lost in a strange place." Bai Yaxi looked into the distance and said thoughtfully.
"You know what I dreamed about?" I asked tentatively.
"I don't know, but I can imagine that it must have been a torturous nightmare." Bai Yaxi looked at me sympathetically, "We don't belong to this world, one day you will understand." ”
I looked at Bai Yaxi with some doubts.
"Recently, the TB organization has a top-secret mission in Inner Mongolia, and I heard that the head of the Jade Toad Palace, Jiang Guo, has come to Changlin City, I think this will be related to the case you investigated."
"How do you know that?" I looked at the little pangolin looming in the window and asked suspiciously.
"Two years ago, TB found the Eye of Horus in the Bermos estate in Sweden, and a month later the Nibelungen phenomenon occurred under the permafrost in Siberia, and the paranormal organizations in various countries at the time believed that the two things were related."
"What is the Eye of Horus?"
I don't know much about these things.
"In Western mythology, it is said that you can see the eyes of the gods of the future, and no one knows what they refer to, but some people say that they are the same thing as the human eye." Li Mubai leaned against the corner of the corridor, as the vice president of the Taoist Association, he knew far more than I thought.
"Why are you here?" I looked back at Li Mubai.
"It's a dangerous thing to bring a strange girl home." Li Mubai looked at Bai Yaxi and said coldly.
"That's right," Bai Yaxi turned to look at Li Mubai, there seemed to be a hint of anger in her eyes, "But compared to some people who can't even figure out who they are, maybe I'm still a little safer." ”
"Who are you doing things for?" Li Mubai asked.
"The more you know, the more dangerous it is, let me remind you, if you continue to investigate this case, I'm afraid that the Taoist Association won't be able to protect you."
"Do you think I'll be afraid? Princess Yaxi. ”
Li Mubai's expression was strange, the little guy was hiding far away, I knew that the person standing in front of me at the moment was not the Li Mubai I knew.
"You want to meddle in the Nibelungen?" Bai Yaxi looked at Li Mubai and asked.
"The permafrost of Siberia has shown signs of cracking, and if the world were to see that keel, how many mysterious organizations do you think would be involved in this case?"
"You want to make a deal with me?" Bai Yaxi's brows furrowed slightly, I didn't know anything about what they said.
"I want to know who killed Ren Yaoyao?" Li Mubai asked with murderous anger.
"You should ask those who know."
A trace of anger ignited in the corner of Li Mubai's eyes, "This is not the attitude of making a transaction. ”
"If you want to do it, you can do it, and no one here can stop you."
Bai Yaxi clenched her fists, it didn't seem that the first time she and Li Mubai's second soul had met.
"Did you kill the meditation master of Baiyun Temple?"
Li Mubai's body lit an evil fire, Bai Yaxi shook her head and denied it, but Li Mubai, who was possessed by the second soul, didn't seem to be willing to listen to her defense.
"Two months ago, you begged Master Jingxin to let you go to the Jade Toad Palace as an exchange student, and then the night before you left, you brutally killed the Master Jing, and also faked the scene of the death of the Master Jingchen, a week ago you met me in the Haitian Hotel in the Jade Toad Palace, you know that I went to arrest you, and then you mysteriously disappeared, and now you appear here again, I don't know what your purpose is, but today you have no chance to escape."
Bai Yaxi looked at Li Mubai intently, and retreated to the window of the corridor little by little, "I didn't kill Mrs. Jingxin, you want to study the secrets on me, but Mrs. Shi didn't agree, you brutally killed Mrs. Shi and then blamed me, crazy guy, you will pay for everything you have done." ”
Li Mubai's palms burst into flames, I don't know the truth of the matter, but I'm sure some of them must be lying.
"You wait," I condensed the barrier in front of Li Mubai, "Is what she said true?" ”
"What do you think?" Li Mubai's second soul stared at me expressionlessly.
"I don't know, but this matter is full of strangeness, if she is innocent, then you are aiding the abuse, if she killed the person, then you should come up with evidence to make her die."
"Childish," Li Mubai stretched out his hand to push me away, and then walked straight towards Bai Yaxi, haunted by evil fire, the figure of the demon was exactly the same as when he was in the Jade Toad Palace.
The little guy's claws flashed, it seemed to be able to feel my thoughts, the truth of Bai Yaxi's words was unknown, Li Mubai's second soul was full of killing intent, he obviously didn't just want to arrest Bai Yaxi.
The solid glass wall of the hotel cracked instantly, and Bai Yaxi was also prepared, she hung one end of the rope at the corner of the corridor, and then jumped down, and it didn't take too long to descend down the rope from the height of the eighth floor.
Li Mubai's second soul glared at the little guy viciously, the little pangolin was as fast as lightning, it didn't seem to want to be the enemy of this demon, in the blink of an eye, Li Mubai took out the sheathed dagger from his arms, and his hands clenched and slid down quickly along the iron cable outside the glass wall.
I lay on the corner of the corridor and watched Bai Yaxi run into the parking lot at the back of the hotel, and Li Mubai's second soul chased after her.
"Something's wrong!" I knocked on Ji Han's door in a panic.
"What's wrong? What are you crying wolf in the middle of the night? Ji Han walked out of the room in his pajamas.
"Li Mubai and Bai Yaxi are fighting!"
"What?" Ji Han glanced at me suspiciously.
"It's too late to explain, they're in the parking lot, we have to go and save Bai Yaxi."
"What the hell is going on?"
Ji Han looked dazed, he didn't even have time to go back to the room to change clothes before I pulled him downstairs.
"Li Mubai's second soul has awakened again, he wants to kill Bai Yaxi, we have to stop him."
"Why did he kill Bai Yaxi?"
Ji Han asked with a puzzled face.
"He said that Bai Yaxi killed the meditation master of Baiyun Temple, I don't know the specifics, anyway, I just want to stop him."
Ji Han suddenly grabbed me and asked, "It's just one night, aren't you emotional?" ”
He looked at me with all seriousness, and for a moment, I even doubted myself.
"What nonsense are you talking about, me and her, me and her are innocent!"
