Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Uninvited Guest
At midnight, the dream returned to the pillow. Star Swirl became concerned about the couch, but when she went to Xinyi's house that day, she didn't notice that she had added new furniture.
At this moment, Jiajia snored slightly, and Star Swirl sat up and touched the cold sweat oozing from the back of her neck, glancing at the time, two o'clock in the morning.
Some reluctantly lie down, facing the long dark night and have to face endless nightmares, there is no dream-eating tapir, no Mr. X, only Li Xingxuan who digs out the truth according to the hints of dreams.
Tossing and turning, it's hard to sleep. Star Swirl simply opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze, and what Li Leqi had said to herself in the afternoon went around in her head, and Star Swirl suddenly realized that her focus was a little strange, why Li Leqi asked what she and Sissi did during the holidays, and who assigned the volunteer mission.
It wasn't so much that she was worried about herself, but that she had other thoughts about what had happened before. As for Sissi, Star Swirl has been looking for traces of her through her various social media accounts since the day she didn't come to report, but the girl who used to take selfies almost every day hasn't updated her moments for more than ten days.
What the hell happened to her? Star Swirl subconsciously looks over Sissy's bed, and suddenly notices a black shadow on it, which seems to rise and fall slightly with the rhythm of her breathing.
A drop of cold sweat slid down her back, and Star Swirl rubbed her eyes, a little confused if they were still in a dream.
"Jiajia......" Star Swirl called softly, but the person on the next bed didn't react at all. Star Swirl turns on her phone and looks at the bed opposite, where there is really someone on Sissi's bed! And the silhouette of that black shadow is clearly the shape of a man.
Star Swirl instinctively stood on end, holding her breath and slowly leaning towards the edge of the bed, when did this man come in? Looking under the bed again, there was a pair of leather shoes next to the ladder, and you could tell by the size that they were the man's shoes.
"Jiajia, wake up." Star Swirl carefully kicks Jiajia's bed rail, but that night she slept so deeply that Star Swirl couldn't wake up.
There was a terrible movement on the opposite bed, and the black shadow slowly turned over, and the whole body looked unusually heavy. Star Swirl clenched the corners of her back in her hands, desperately trying to suppress the fear in her heart.
"Ah......h
After a few seconds of silence, Star Swirl suddenly hears a "knock" from some dorm room...... Knock...... ......" sound, she opened her eyes slightly, and saw the black figure slowly climbing down the ladder beside the bed.
Although the bed was not far from the ground, the man stopped for a few seconds at each railing. Seeing that he finally stepped on the ground, Star Swirl didn't know what he was going to do next, should he climb onto the bed on his and Jiajia's side?
If the man made any more moves, Star Swirl would immediately dial the alarm number that had been entered on her phone.
However, the dark shadow slowly approached the desk under the bed, and sat down in a chair, as if he had picked up the book on the table and looked at it.
But what could he see in such a dim light? Star Swirl stared at the shadow for a long time, and saw that he didn't move, but his eyelids began to fight, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn. Looking up to see that the other three beds were empty, Star Swirl scrambled to her feet and shouted, "Jiajia? ”
However, there was no uninvited guest from last night in the dormitory, and Jiajia could not be found. Nervously, Star Swirl climbed out of her bed and walked over to Sissi's desk to check, where there were no signs of the books on the table and no man's shoe prints underground. Was it really a dream last night?
At this moment, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Jiajia walked in with two bags with a smile. "Xuanyue, are you up? It just so happened that I bought breakfast and came back. ”
Seeing Star Swirl's unyielding appearance, Jia Jia nudged her, "What kind of god?" ”
"Maybe I haven't woken up yet." Star Swirl pressed her temples that were throbbing.
Jiajia put breakfast on the table and sighed, "I found that as soon as you came back to live, I slept very soundly. I didn't even have a dream last night. ”
"So you didn't hear anything?" Star Swirl asked tentatively.
Jiajia couldn't help but get nervous: "What's the movement?" You won't see ...... too."
"Stop, I just heard someone making noise downstairs in the dormitory last night, don't you always get nervous, okay?" Star Swirl doesn't plan to tell Jiajia what she saw last night, whether it's a dream or reality, so she has to lie so as not to frighten her.
After breakfast in the dorm room, Star Swirl decides to talk to Mr. X about last night's dream, which is what it will be called a "prophetic dream". Jiajia asked reluctantly, "Xuanyue, will you come back to live at night?" ”
"Yes, don't worry." After reassuring Jiajia, Star Swirl returns to Mr. X's apartment, and the two make an appointment to meet at noon. After a while, the doorbell rang. Star Swirl walks to the door and behold, and the person standing outside the door is Xinyi.
Star Swirl opened the door and asked, "Sister Xinyi, what's the matter?" ”
"Oh, I just heard you come back," she wore an apron around her waist, as if she was preparing lunch, "the last time I came to my store, it seems like I left without eating......"
Star Swirl touched her nose a little embarrassed and replied, "I was so embarrassed that I was called away last time when I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I just got lo-mei at home, you can come and taste it." Star Swirl refuses to accept Xinyi's invitation again, so she follows her to the next door.
"You sit down first, things will be ready soon." Xinyi gives Star Swirl a bottle of soda and enters the kitchen with a smile.
"Sister Xinyi must rarely cook in the store, right?" Star Swirl asks.
"Except for boiling braised soup, nothing else touches your hands." Xinyi replied.
"Your braised soup must have a lot of essence, right?" Star Swirl chatted as she wandered around the room, catching a glimpse of the bedroom with the door hidden and her curiosity.
"yes, the essence of my braised soup is something I didn't dare to think of, it was all developed by me and my husband......" Star Swirl glanced back at Xinyi, who was still in the kitchen, and reached out to push open the bedroom door, and a corner of the coffee-colored sofa appeared in front of her, exactly like Star Swirl's dream.
However, when her fingers touched the surface of the cortex, the energy lock vibrated violently, and with a roar in her head, a picture appeared in front ......of her eyes.
