Chapter Twenty-Three: I Dream of an Unexpected Person
I didn't know what to say, so I drove forward aimlessly.
Meng Xiaoshuai was alert: "Boss Zhou, it's been more than an hour, why haven't you left the city yet?" ”
I saw Autumn Resort again, and I said listlessly, "Let's stay next......"
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Why? ”
I said, "We're going around in circles." ”
Bai Xinxin sat up straight: "How did you drive the car!" Turn it on for me! ”
I ignored him, drove into the resort, parked it, then turned around and said to them, "I drove from the eastern suburbs to the western suburbs without turning a corner, and then drove from the western suburbs to the eastern suburbs......"
Meng Xiaoshuai's eyes widened: "It's haunted!" ”
I said, "Let's stay here and discuss what to do together." My head is a mess right now. Bai Xinxin, if you don't believe me, you can try it by yourself. ”
He stopped talking.
Meng Xiaoshuai said, "Then let's stay first...... Boss Zhou, you want a big house, let's live together, I'm afraid ......"
I said, "Hmm. ”
The 5 of us parked the car, reloaded our luggage, and walked into the hotel lobby.
A girl is on duty and she is checking in a fat man. Two security guards were walking around with batons, their skin was very dark, and they were quite thick-looking.
I looked at the fat man's back and thought: he should be a foreigner, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in a hotel, so is he a real person or a dummy?
I walked to the front desk, waited for the fat man to finish, and asked the girl, "Excuse me, is there a room for 5 people?" ”
The girl looked it up on the computer and said, "Yes, on the third floor." ”
I said, "Let's register one." ”
Then the phone rang, and the girl said to me, "Wait a minute. Then he picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm the front desk...... Are you booking a meeting? Okay, 21 people...... 3 days ...... No problem......"
I stared at her face and felt terrified again - since Wu Cheng is fake, this girl is also fake, but her performance is too realistic!
If I hadn't been standing in front of her at this point, and I was driving looking for my way out of town, would she still be on the phone here?
Thinking about it, my goosebumps rose.
After making the call, the girl checked my ID, collected the deposit, and handed me the keys...... Finally, she smiled and said, "I hope you have a good time." ”
I walked up to Meng Xiaoshuai and them, picked up my luggage, and said, "Let's go." ”
The room was big, but with 5 beds, it was cramped.
We sat on the edge of the bed and didn't speak.
The sky outside the window was still so blue, as blue as a giant canvas.
Guo Mei spoke first and broke the silence: "Let's call the police......"
I said, "Kure doesn't exist, but we found information and maps on the Internet, so we ...... The network we use is actually fake. ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I said, the Internet speed is so fast......
I said: "I posted an article on the official account, and many readers left messages, but now it seems that it is all fake." ”
Bai Xinxin said: "Why do you always think it's fake? Maybe it's a man-made conspiracy. ”
I glanced at him.
Only he lay on the bed by the window, without taking off his shoes, and the sheets under his feet were kicked and crumpled and dirty.
I said, "Sit up, or you'll take off your shoes." ”
He didn't move, and said very scoundrelly: "Since it's all fake, are you still afraid of staining the sheets?" ”
I really don't want to deal with him.
Meng Xiaoshuai thought about it for a moment and said, "Boss Zhou, yes, will someone harm us behind our backs?" ”
I said, "No one has that much power." ”
After a pause, Wu Min said, "Then, let's talk to home on the phone...... Also fake? ”
I said, "If we can go out and ask your family when you get home, they won't get a call from you." ”
Guo Mei suddenly said: "Call the police!" ”
I said, "Wu Cheng is fake, and so are the police." ”
I suddenly felt my tone so cold.
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "That chapter back to him ......"
I said, "Hell knows where he's gone." ”
Guo Mei said: "If everything is fake, then what we eat must also be fake, we have been in Wucheng for so many days, we should have starved to death." ”
I said, "We may just be ...... in Kure Moment. ”
Guo Mei looked at me stunned.
I said, "I mean, time here is also fake. ”
Guo Mei said: "In this way, the first and second floors are also fake, we are on the third floor, why didn't we fall?" ”
I said, "We're not on the third floor. Space is also fake. ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou, it really scared me this time......
Wu Min suddenly said viciously: "Let's go and do it, blow up this place!" ”
I said, "* is also false." ”
Wu Min was deflated: "Then what should I do!" ”
Bai Xinxin spoke again: "If I really can't do it, I'll stay here, soak a girl, get married and have children, and I'm quite happy......"
I said, "The women here are all fake, and so are the babies who have children." ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou, we ...... Could it be a fake? ”
I looked at her and said with great certainty, "We're real." ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Can't we walk out? ”
I said, "I want to be able to get out, but we will go back to Lop Nur again and continue to be trapped." ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What the hell is going on? ”
I said, "There is a mysterious power that I have felt since we entered Lop Nur, and I am sure you have felt it too. Now, I think we're in its brain, or rather, into its imagination. ”
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I'm simple-minded, I don't understand your words, you should be specific." ”
I thought about it for a moment and said coldly, "Illusion." ”
Everybody looks at me.
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Illusion? ”
I said, "I can't say a few words. Next, we have to wait to static brakes. ”
At night, Bai Xinxin lay on the bed by the window, the second bed was Wu Min, the third bed was Meng Xiaoshuai, the fourth bed was Guo Mei, and the fifth bed was me.
Everyone did not take off their clothes, and lay down in their clothes.
After turning off the lights, Bai Xinxin went to the toilet, this person was very indecent, and there was a sound of "whoosh" peeing. Everyone doesn't speak.
When he came out, he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, making the bed board "creak".
The moon is beautiful, and it reminds me of the song "Half Moon Climbs Up" by the western singer Wang Luobin. I interviewed him in Xi'an when he was alive. I don't know if he would have thought that the "half moon" in his song would also shine on this non-existent city.
Bai Xinxin was the first to fall asleep, and I heard him grinding his teeth, "squeaky ......" sounded very fierce.
A person hates it, and it is also hated when he falls asleep.
I told myself in my heart: you have to be magnanimous, grinding your teeth is not something he can control......
Before I knew it, I was asleep too.
On this night, I dreamed of a person, a person I didn't expect—
Before I left for Lop Nur, I had the same dream for three days in a row: a large body of water, surrounded by sand, and a woman, draped in golden flowers, in the middle of the green water, smiling and waving to me......
Three times I woke up from my dream.
After entering Lop Nur, I asked everyone, before coming to Lop Nur, did you have a dream about sand and water?
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaoshuai, Bubu, Bai Xinxin, Wei Zao, Haowai, Zhang Hui, Xu Erge...... I've all dreamed of this! It's just a little the same.
At that time, I felt that it was fate that we came to Lop Nur......
Yes, this night, the woman with the golden flowers on her body reappeared in my dreams.
I saw the big body of water again, surrounded by sand, and she stood in the middle of the green water, smiling and waving to me.
I was a little scared and looked at her from afar.
She floated up the water and walked towards me.
I was a little nervous, I was worried, and when she approached, I suddenly realized that she was an acquaintance of mine, for example, she was Monsoon, or the dead slurry, or Meng Xiaoshuai lying next to me......
In the dream, it was not Guo Mei who was lying next to me, but Meng Xiaoshuai.
She was getting closer, and I was sure that I didn't know the woman.
I could see that her hair was white. She is very young, how can her hair be white? The first thing that came to my mind was that she had dyed or wore a wig. She was wearing a dress covered in golden flowers, which I could only understand as a performance costume. In my dreams, I was still puzzled - there was no trace here, who was she performing for?
Her face is very white, not the kind of white of the female ghost of a horror movie, but the kind of noble white.
She looked at me with a smile, as if she wanted to talk. I feel that her expression is a bit like ...... Selling insurance.
I waited quietly to hear what she had to say.
Finally, she stopped in front of me and said softly, "Don't you understand?" ”
I said, "Yes...... What the? ”
She said, "You really don't understand? ”
I said, "I don't understand." ”
She sighed, then turned and walked back.
I was scared that she would stop in front of me, and even more afraid that she would leave. When she left, she took the mystery with her.
I called out to her, "Hey, can you tell me?" ”
She turned around and said helplessly, "How could you not understand! ”
Then, continue to walk forward.
I was overwhelmed. Am I stupid? What the hell do I not understand?
She farther and farther away, back to the water, and finally disappeared between the sky and the water, and all I could see was yellow sand, green water, blue sky, and scorching sun......
I woke up suddenly.
I don't know what time it is at night, but the sky seems to be overcast, and it is pitch black.
I felt windy and cold.
It dawned on me that I had been awakened from the cold.
I looked up with wide eyes and faintly saw the stars! I reached out and touched underneath me, and it was all sand!
I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, turned on the flashlight software and took a photo, and found that I, Guo Mei, Meng Xiaoshuai, Wu Min, and Bai Xinxin were lined up, all lying in the open air, our room was gone, the resort was gone, and Wucheng was gone!
