Bai Ci always felt that the appearance of everyone around him was not real, his face would be covered with a layer of dead ash, gloomy, he couldn't tell the difference, which one was a dream? Which is true?

Rubbing his temples that were a little painful, remembering the dream just now, Bai Ci suddenly thought of Shu Lanruo, so he hurriedly asked, "Zhang Ling, is that guy okay?" ”

Zhang Ling nodded, "Don't worry, young master, Miss Shu, she's fine." ”

Bai Ci exhaled, feeling a little relieved.

After resting on the spot for a while, the judge glanced behind him and said, "Bailing, you count the number of people and confirm that no one is left behind." ”

Bailing answered yes and began to count.

One, two, three, four......

As the number increased, Bailing's voice became more and more blurred, I don't know if it was his own illusion, Bai Ci felt a little strange somewhere, and his heart was panicked, as if the ethereal shout in the dream reappeared, shouting, "Young Master Bai, don't leave me, it's so cold in the water......"

Bai Ci hurriedly shook his head, and his whole body was agitated, as if he felt something in the water touch him, as if something was swimming past his feet.

His eyes widened, and he slowly looked down at the bottom of the lake, the nightmare scene that stimulated his nerves again, and he was afraid that he would see a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him in the water, and then lunging at him.

Fortunately, there was nothing in the water, only darkness, deep and full of unknowns.

However, it was clear that something had touched me just now, what was it? Is it your own delusion?

Bai Ci looked at his own reflection in the lake, it was a chaotic white face, his eyes were full of exhaustion and horror, what was he afraid of? Where does that restless fear come from?

"Fourteen ......"

Bailing's voice came from a distance, and it seemed so unreal in the heavy rain.

Suddenly, Bai Ci's heart suddenly tightened, as if he had grasped some key issue, he hurriedly looked up and looked around, he finally knew why he felt wrong, why he was restless, he recalled that dream, and suddenly understood, he turned his head to look at the judge, facing the judge's gloomy eyes.

Bai Ci looked at the judge in surprise, "You ......"

"Don't talk." The judge raised his hand, stopped Bai Ci's next words, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't startle the snake." ”

Bai Ci couldn't calm the shock in his heart, this thought made his hair stand on end, and the fear in his heart suddenly rose to the top, in such a strange environment, the nerves like Bai Ci couldn't help but tremble all over.

It turns out that the key to this matter is the number of people! Fourteen people, Bailing counted twice, fourteen people, it is impossible to count wrong!

When they arrived at the gate of heaven, there were a total of fourteen of them, and later one died due to falling stones, and then met Zhuge Fan to fill the vacancy, so it was still fourteen people, and then one person disappeared and found it again, and it was still fourteen people.

However, the focus is on the back, they meet the swamp crocodile, and in the process of returning to the lake, one of them escaped to the tree to hide from the crocodile, that is, there are a total of thirteen people in the lake!

In that case, who is the extra person?

If it weren't for the fact that in the dream, he saw everyone's faces, and thus remembered that there was another person who fled to the tree, then this extra person would definitely be ignored!

Thinking of an unknown shadow hidden in the crowd, Bai Ci felt a creep in his heart, he looked carefully towards the location of everyone, in the thick fog, he could only see the vague black shadows, the scene in the dream overlapped with reality, making him feel that everything was so unreal.

At this time, he would rather face the group of crocodiles directly, the big deal is death, it is better than facing this unknown thing, the feeling of knowing that danger is around but unable to prevent it, is simply a cruel torture to people's hearts.

Bai Ci finally understood, it turns out that knowing the truth is not necessarily a good thing, the more you know, the greater the pressure you will bear, and the smarter people must be thinking, the so-called thinking is extremely scary, and it is reasonable for the judge to be so abnormal.

All fear comes from the unknown!

"What should I do?" Bai Ci tried to keep his voice low, but he still couldn't hide the panic in his voice.

The judge motioned to Bai Ci with his eyes to be silent, and then he said in a deep voice, "Young Master Bai, your physical condition is too bad now, I'll carry you on your back." ”

Bai Ci comprehended, nodded, and tried to pretend to be his usual appearance, "Okay, I'm tired." ”

The judge approached Bai Ci, took one of Bai Ci's arms on his shoulder, and then turned back to someone and said, "Keep swimming." ”

The group rested for a while, and barely recovered some strength, so they didn't say a word, and swam again.

"Young Master Bai." Under the cover of the sound of water, the judge whispered in Bai Ci's ear, "Don't act rashly now, and don't show any abnormality, don't let that thing notice your abnormality." ”
