Chapter 68: The cue ball on the billiard table in the café
Little Mary actually fell into the abyss below the steps!
At the bottom of the cliff, there was only a thick fog, and nothing could be seen.
"What are you doing?" I turned my head angrily and pushed the middle-aged man hard, "You killed her, you forced her to death, you are a murderer!" ”
However, the middle-aged man only lowered his head in a daze and remained motionless.
I nudged him again, but the guy was like a cloud of air, evaporating little by little.
Yes? I froze, took a few steps back, suddenly realized something, and immediately turned around.
Behind it, it is not the cliff, but a green meadow.
I looked at the man in black in the distance, but he was already gone.
I looked up, and the merry-go-round in front of me was still there, but the colorful lights were long gone. This merry-go-round has actually been abandoned for a long time, and the top of those trojans are rusty and dusty.
Was everything I saw just now just an illusion?
However, who is the middle-aged man in the hallucination? Was he really Mary's father? But why would he be so fierce to his daughter? Just because her daughter secretly went to play the merry-go-round? When Mary saw him, why was she so scared and turned around and ran?
Also, why did I see the man in black again? Could it really represent the Grim Reaper?
Could it be that Mary is really dead?
I sighed and looked at the small room with the warm lights on in the distance.
My body was still cold, it was left by the fountain water splashing on me, and a cold wind blew, I was so cold that I shrunk my body, but I still couldn't stop the coldness in my heart.
I'd better go to the house over there, maybe I can escape the cold there?
So, I walked towards the room with the lights on.
Behind him, the lone merry-go-round slowly spun again······
I walked towards the house, and soon, I was in that place.
The house turned out to be a café. Outside the café, there is an open-air platform, and on top of the platform, there is also an old billiard table.
I walked up the steps to the terrace and stopped at the billiard table.
On the billiard table, those balls are still scattered.
I grabbed a white ball, which was the cue ball.
In an instant, I felt the temperature of the white cue ball, which seemed to be very warm, just like the feeling of being held in my mother's arms when I was a child.
"Do you know what the cue ball does?" Suddenly, a voice rang out, and it was a man's voice.
I looked up in shock, but it was empty.
Am I hallucinating again?
But the voice rang out again.
"Let me tell you." The man continued, "The role of the cue ball is to knock all the sub-balls on this table into the bag one by one. But why is it called a cue ball? Shouldn't a mother love her children and throw them all into that cage? ”
The man's voice, in this empty place, seemed particularly vicissitudes and shocking.
"Who are you? Who's here? I threw my head up to the sky and shouted.
"Honey." At this time, I heard another voice, a woman's gentle and pleasant voice.
I turned my head, only to see a familiar and beautiful face.
"Mar, Mary?" I was so stunned that I couldn't close my mouth for a long time.
That's right, this beautiful woman next to me is Mary. She was wearing a purple dress with that touching smile on her face, and she was looking at me with affection.
As soon as my lips opened, a fresh fragrance rushed to my face, which intoxicated me.
"My dear, I know that home is the best place for a mother." She reached out and put her hand on my shoulder.
I couldn't resist this tenderness, I was about to melt away from her.
It's so nice, Mary, that we're finally back together again. At this moment, I suddenly felt like crying.
"As long as you can put the kids back, they'll be safe." Mary stretched out her white and clean hand, gently picked up a red ball from the billiard table, and held it in her hand, "Even if you throw them all into that cage-like bag." Even if you cinch them into pieces! ”
Suddenly, Mary's expression changed! In his eyes, there was a fierce murderous aura!
Yes? I was stunned.
I saw that Mary held the red ball tightly, and with one force, she actually pinched the red ball into powder!
"Mary, you?" My Adam's apple was fluttering and my breathing was rapid.
Suddenly, Mary evaporated from my front and drifted into the air.
In front of my eyes, it's still the table.
I lowered my head, only to find that the white cue ball in my hand had turned red all of a sudden!
However, this white ball did not turn into a red ball, but was stained red with blood, this is a white ball stained red by blood!
"What if one day, this cue ball is also hit into the hole by its own sub-ball?" Suddenly, I heard Mary's voice again, but she wasn't there.
Then, something came from the pool table.
I turned my head and was stunned.
I saw that on the table, there was also a white cue ball, which was hit hard by a red sub-ball that rushed towards it! Then, the white cue ball went straight to the bottom of the bag, and the white ball fell into the bag!
Yes? White balls?
But isn't this white cue ball in my hand? What's going on with the cue ball on this table?
I looked down and realized that the white ball in my hand, which was stained with blood and resembled a red ball, was still there.
I looked up again, but all the balls on the billiard table were gone!
I was startled, and as soon as my hand was released, the blood-stained cue ball also landed on the table with a heavy sound.
I felt scared and was about to leave here and go back to Ping'an Street.
But just as I was turning to leave, suddenly, from behind me, in the café, there was a sound of saxophone music.
Strange, why is this saxophone music so familiar?
I looked back at the café.
The music of the saxophone is still floating melodiously.
I remembered that this familiar saxophone piece was the famous song - "Coming Home"!
Go home? Go home? Go home!
When I heard this music, I burst into tears.
Home, where is my home? It's been a long time since I've been home! Who am I? Where is my home? Why, is the journey home so long and so long?
All around, there was still a thick fog covering everything, except for the soft, warm orange lamp in the café, which flickered in front of my wet eyes.
I wiped away my tears and walked slowly towards the café.
The music of "Coming Home" is still echoing, and every sound is knocking on my heart.
Go home, wandering wanderer! Come home, lost lamb! This is your home!
I walked into the café, but as soon as I entered, I was stunned.
Just now, the café that was quiet and only played the melodious saxophone melody of "Coming Home" turned into a noisy bar
The saxophone song of "Coming Home" has also been transformed into crazy and exciting rock music.
Inside this bar, it's already full. Some people stand in the middle of the dance floor, shaking their heads and twisting their necks and waists frantically, but their faces are expressionless, as if they were a group of zombies dancing. Some of them gulped down their wine and said foul language, but when they turned their faces, I saw that their faces were blue and bloodless! More people sat in their seats, not even turning their heads to look at me, not seeming to notice my presence.
I walked over to the bar and saw the drinks in the back of it, and my throat stirred, and I was thirsty.
"What do you want to drink?" Behind the bar, a bartender saw me and asked, "Is it beer, or whiskey?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, this was the first time someone had spoken to me head-on, except, of course, the man in black.
"Well, I, I don't drink." I licked my shriveled lips, "Just give me a drink." ”
"Drinks? Sorry, we don't have drinks here! Suddenly, the bartender's face changed, and like the group of people just now, his face turned blue, and a green light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Yes! I was shocked, but when I looked closer, I saw that this guy's feet were actually hanging in the air, as if they were floating!
The back of my neck suddenly became cold.
I looked back at the group of people behind me, and the strange thing was that it was brightly lit, but there was no shadow of these people, no shadow at all.
"Are you really not going to do something?" The bartender, whose face was blue and his eyes were still glowing, asked again.
"No, no." I'm scared and plan to get out of here right away.
But just as I turned to leave, the bartender suddenly said something more.
"Are you looking for someone? Looking for your friends? ”
I was stunned for a moment, but when I turned around, I found that the bartender's face was red again, and his face became moisturized, and the green light in his eyes had disappeared without a trace.
"Looking for someone?" I hesitated and didn't speak.
Yes, I'm looking for someone, but who am I looking for?
Oh, it's Mary! The person I'm looking for is my Mary!
"Are you looking for Mary?" Unexpectedly, the bartender laughed as if he had guessed what was on my mind.
I was stunned, my mouth open with the boss.
Strange, how could he know I was looking for Mary?
"Mary, she's the prettiest girl we've ever had." The bartender ignored my look and mechanically wiped a wine glass, "She lives in a nearby apartment building." ”
My eyes widened, and at this point, I was more confused than shocked.
"Still, I'd suggest you'd better stop beating her idea." The bartender's eyes turned out to be hollow, and he didn't seem to be looking at me, but at the door in front of him, "Otherwise, you'll die an ugly death!" ”
After saying this, his face became gloomy again, and the green light flashed in his eyes again.
I didn't dare to look at him, so I had to turn my head.
However, when I turned my head again, I found that the bartender was gone.
Where did he go? Why did he know I was looking for Mary? Did he know me before? I once asked him about Mary? Or is there a lot of people here who have been looking for Mary?
There is no answer to these questions now, because the bartender is gone.
At this moment, suddenly, behind me, there was a woman's laughter······
