Chapter 41: Dreams
As a result, nothing happened this night, the little girl was also very calm, she was very energetic after sleeping for a day, she didn't cry or make trouble, she lay there quietly, her face was not so pale, Jiang Ningyu and Ms. Li didn't sleep this night, they drank coffee all night, until dawn, Ms. Li was sure that the little ghost would not appear, but she was still a little suspicious, she was afraid that the little ghost was afraid of Jiang Ningyu, so she didn't dare to come, if Jiang Ningyu left, the little ghost would be in trouble.
Fortunately, Jiang Ningyu repeatedly assured that Ms. Li was relieved. As a result, Jiang Ningyu only planned to ask for a commission fee of 500 yuan, but Ms. Li directly gave 2,000, and Ms. Li even planned to take 10,000 yuan as an honorarium, but Jiang Ningyu said that she didn't want to.
Originally, Jiang Ningyu thought that Ms. Li was a single mother, and it was not easy for her to take care of a child, so she didn't plan to ask for more, but she turned out to be a rich woman, although she looked very ordinary, but her monthly income was more than 100,000.
Two thousand yuan Jiang Ningyu didn't shirk, although he helped Mr. Zhou last time and made a lot of money, but there was no last time, he just kept it in the stage of food and clothing every month.
Driving back to the office, Jiang Ningyu originally planned to sleep directly, but he didn't expect that he couldn't sleep at all.
"Damn, I drank too much coffee." Jiang Ningyu drank at least seven or eight cups of coffee this night, and now he can't sleep, it's just that he is very sleepy, he just can't sleep, and it's very uncomfortable.
Unable to sleep, he had to lie on the bed and began to recall the events of this time, recalling the ghosts he had met during this time, and suddenly he remembered that something seemed to have been forgotten during the car accident, and the feeling was very vague, and he tried to recall it again, but the sharp pain hit again.
"Hiss, it hurts, what happened during that time, why can't I remember, could it be that it was temporary amnesia caused by a car accident?" Jiang Ningyu didn't know what was going on.
But after the sharp pain, he began to feel sleepy, and soon fell into sleep, and in the middle of his dream, he suddenly felt that his surroundings were dark.
"It's dark?" Jiang Ningyu opened his eyes, but what he saw in front of him was overwhelmed.
He was standing on a road, surrounded by a blur, only this road could be seen, the dim weather made the surroundings blurry and could not see far at all, there was no one on the road, and it was a dirt road, there were not even trees and grass on either side, it looked like a blur.
"W-where is this?" Jiang Ningyu was a little scared.
He glanced at both ends of the road, there was nothing landmarked, and both sides of the road were exactly the same, he didn't even know where to go, he tried to go outside the road, but found that there seemed to be a wall of air blocking it, and he couldn't go out of the road at all, there was no way, he could only take one step at a time, Jiang Ningyu casually found one side and began to move along the road, I don't know how long he walked, he didn't have any feeling, neither a sense of time, nor a feeling of hunger and thirst.
There was no way, he began to count, took a step and counted once, until he counted more than 30,000 times, and he didn't even sweat on his body.
"Where am I? What the hell is going on? Jiang Ningyu began to wonder.
A road that has never been walked to the end, and there is no sense of fatigue and time on his body, Jiang Ningyu suddenly thought, is he dead?
"Could it be that this is the legendary Huangquan Road? But you should go through the Ghost Gate Pass first when you take Huangquan Road, there is nothing here! Jiang Ningyu felt that something was wrong.
"Or am I dreaming now? Am I in a dream? ”
If it was a dream, all of this could still be explained, but it was the first time he had encountered such a clear dream.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of black shadows appear in front of him, it seemed to be a group of people, Jiang Ningyu shouted directly when he saw this.
"Hey, who's up ahead? Where is this? After Jiang Ningyu finished shouting, he sped up and ran over.
But no matter how he ran, the distance between the dark shadows in front of him did not shorten, but there was a feeling that he was getting farther and farther away.
And he shouted as he ran, and the more he shouted, the farther away the black shadow became, and finally the black shadow in front of him disappeared.
"What's this?" He felt as if the shadows were afraid of him, they were avoiding him, and the more he chased them, the faster he ran.
He is completely blinded now, he feels as if he is trapped, but he can't find the key to breaking the game, the black shadow that appeared just now he thought he could communicate, but he ended up running faster than him, he had already shown his full speed to run.
Since the front is not good, then he turned back, he tried just now, and he didn't feel tired when he ran with all his strength, since the dark shadow in front of him was avoiding him, then he turned back and ran, he wanted to see what was going on?
I thought it was a ghost hitting the wall or a ghost dreaming, but it turned out to be not, if it was a ghost hitting the wall, he would always return to the original point and would not meet a black shadow, and if the ghost was in a dream, there would not be only such a monotonous road, and he just dealt with a small night crying ghost today, such a ghost does not have these abilities at all, otherwise Ms. Li's daughter would have been killed a long time ago.
So Jiang Ningyu began to turn back, there were only two ends of the road, not even a fork in the road, he didn't believe that he couldn't run out, as he ran, he saw a black shadow again, and this time he didn't shout, but rushed directly with all his strength.
When he could see the black shadows clearly, he was stunned, this group of black shadows is a group of people, a group of eccentric people, they have all kinds of clothes, modern and ancient, adults, children, men, women, it looks like a crew filming costume dramas, and when this group of people saw Jiang Ningyu, it was as if they had seen something terrifying, and they all retreated in horror one by one, and then began to run away.
"Holy, am I that scary?" Jiang Ningyu didn't know what was going on, but he saw that this group of people was running fast one by one, and even the children in it were running very fast.
Seeing this, Jiang Ningyu rushed to catch up, and finally he caught up with the slowest old man running behind.
The old man looked to be at least eighty years old, dressed in the robes of ancient times, but he was no slower than a young man like him, and he did not know how to exercise his body.
"Uncle, don't run, stop." Jiang Ningyu shouted after catching up with the old man.
As a result, when the old man saw Jiang Ningyu chasing after him, his face changed greatly, and he saw that the old man gritted his teeth and his speed began to accelerate again.
This made Jiang Ning feather angry enough, he is not a monster, as for seeing him running like this, so he chased desperately this time, he didn't believe that he couldn't catch up, anyway, now he has no sense of exhaustion, and he will always catch up if he chases hard.
Jiang Ningyu doesn't know what state he is now, according to normal speaking, with his detective character, he shouldn't do things like this, he should think about his current state repeatedly, but now he seems to be controlled by something, he doesn't think about it at all, but wants to catch up with this group of people, just like an obsessive-compulsive person who sees things in a place and is uncomfortable.
