The next day, when I was woken up from my sleep by the alarm clock, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Because the curtains were kept drawn, the light in the bedroom was still a little dim.

After a long pause in the warm quilt against the ceiling, I slowly got up from the bed.

There was no doubt that I passed out again after discovering something wrong in the pasture yesterday, but this time no one sent me a videotape, as if nothing had ever happened before, and I woke up in my bed, feeling comfortable and mild.

But I know that these must be illusions, someone is blocking me from getting closer to the truth, and I have a hunch that I am close to the truth, and maybe I will touch the truth in the next moment!

After my bare feet landed on the carpet, I didn't wash up immediately, but first went to check what I had left in my room last night.

There was a strand of hair at the junction between the curtain and the wall, and I pulled it off with two fingers, turned on my phone's flashlight and pointed it at the strand, and there were indeed two tiny knots on it.

I put a glass of light salt water on the doorknob, and if I opened the door outside, the glass would definitely fall, and even if I couldn't wake up, the carpet would get wet.

The glass on the doorknob was intact, and I took it off and tasted it, no doubt the light salt water I had made last night.

After checking the water glass, I leaned down again and touched the carpet beneath me, it was warm and dry, and there was no sign of getting wet.

But I lifted the carpet and searched for a long time, but I didn't find a strand of hair I had left under the floor last night!

I turned the carpet again and again to make sure that the hair was indeed missing, and my heart began to beat rapidly at this moment, my mouth was dry and I was in a trance, and I took the glass of light salt water and drank it down, which relieved the uncomfortable feeling a little.

Someone did come in last night!

And there's a good chance it's not just one person.

The salt water in the glass wets the carpet, and the glass is restored overnight, and the carpet is dried, and it is likely that it is even replaced with an identical carpet.

Quietly completing such a large amount of tasks in the dark of night, it must be a bit difficult to do alone, and it will increase the risk of waking me up, if I were the one behind the scenes, I would definitely choose to send a well-trained team rather than just one person alone.

I think back to last night, when I was asleep, a group of mysterious people quietly entered my bedroom, doing some mysterious things in the dark that I didn't know, and maybe even stood by my bed and stared at me in my sleep.

The thought of me grinding my teeth and snoring under the gaze of a stranger instantly rushed to an eerie chill that enveloped me.

I forced myself to stand up, leaned against the wall and slowly went to the bathroom, locked the door, turned on the faucet to the loudest sound, and then I nested in the bathtub tiredly, lit a white sand, and quietly looked at the ceiling.

At this moment, I felt from the bottom of my heart that the tiredness was rushing towards me from all directions, burrowing into my body from every pore, and the blood flowed with exhaustion, and my whole body seemed to be soaked in cold water.

It was an invisible depression, but at this time, it turned into a cotton cloth soaked in ice water, pressing tightly on my face, making me unable to breathe and speak freely.

From the time I returned to my room until now, I have hoped more than once that what happened last night was just an illusion or a prank, and that when I woke up in the morning, everything was back to its original harmony, that I was still a bridegroom-to-be who was ready to get married, that room was still that small but warm room, and that my life was as peaceful and even boring as ever.

These things that I used to desperately abandon and flee from now seem so desirable.

From coming home last night to getting up all night, I haven't touched the lockbox under the bed, I can't tell what it feels like, it seems that the truth is in front of me, but I am afraid to lift the veil above the truth.

There was a slight burning and stinging sensation in his fingers.

I looked down and saw that the cigarette in my hand had burned out.

This is the cigarette I brought back from outside last night, and there are three sticks of white sand in it that I have made a subtle mark, but I don't want to verify it now.

They can quietly replace a large carpet and swap out a small pack of cigarettes.

I threw the cigarette butt into the wastebasket, and just as I was about to get up, I felt a whirlwind of sensations come from me.

Salt water...... Problematic!

As soon as the last thought came to my mind, I slammed my head to the floor, unconscious.

Three minutes later, the bathroom was gently opened from the outside.

At that moment, I jumped up from the ground, grabbed the man by the collar, and pulled him backwards.

I fell to the ground at the same time as him, but because I was prepared, I rolled up half a second before him, crushed him under me, and pressed his elbow to his neck.

"...... I knew you were in...... Do you still know that the salt water has been manipulated by you?! I pressed down the emaciated man in black beneath me, gritting my teeth and squeezing the words out between my teeth.

This man in black turned his face down, and the muscles on his body were exceptionally strong, I didn't dare to slack off for a moment, pressed his neck with one hand, pressed his arm joints with the other, gritted his teeth and asked, "Say!" Who the are you guys! Why do you want to hurt me! ”

The man in black didn't seem to have any intention of resisting at all, but said in a sullen voice, "Do you really think we are harming you?" ”

Hearing this, I was so angry that I almost roared: "I'll go to your uncle's!" You try alive like a guinea pig! Now tell me who you are, or I'll break your neck right now!" ”

His muscles twitched slightly, but I knew it wasn't from fear.

Sure enough, the next moment he spoke, with a slight mockery in his tone: "Don't be stupid, do you know how much effort it takes to break a person's neck?" Do you know which angle is the cleanest way to exert force? Do you know what to do with a body after a killing? ”

I was slightly choked, and all his questions were asked to my heart, but at this time, I could only hold on, and said in a cold voice: "You can try your own life I know, but don't blame me for not reminding you that my life is only once." ”

He seemed to sigh slightly, and repeated the three words again: "Don't be stupid. ”

"Who the hell are you?" I roared in his ear with all my might, but I knew it wasn't because of anger, but because of his fearlessness, the fear it brought to me, the fear that went deep into my bones.

It seems that I am the victim whose life is being held in the hands of others, and as soon as someone else moves his mind, I will die immediately.

He was silent for a while, and then said leisurely: "Don't think it's bad to be a guinea pig, death or being a guinea pig, which one do you choose?" ”

I tried to defend myself, but I felt my brain groggy and the strength of my limbs drained like running water, leaving me with a weak and empty shell.

It was at this moment that a question that had been overlooked flashed through my mind.

When I came back last night, I didn't get a drop of water, but I still fell asleep, and I didn't even know that someone had come to my room to change a carpet.

I always thought that I was physically and mentally exhausted because of the impact I received last night, but now I realize that it is completely man-made.

Faintly, I could feel the man in black easily get up from under me, look at me who was about to sleep, and muttered in a low voice: "What's more, there is something more terrible than death......

I listened attentively to the rest of the words, but I still didn't understand them.

I finally couldn't bear the overwhelming sleepiness, and my head sank, and I fell into a complete coma.

When I woke up from the darkness, I don't know how long it had been, but the sky was overcast, and there was a cold wind blowing unhurriedly around me, rolling up a few stalks of withered yellow grass on the ground, and then looking into the distance, there was no living thing, it was desolate and barren, and not far away there were two dragon claw locusts that had been dead for many years, and there was no life on them.

Where am I?

Slowly getting up from the ground, I felt a splitting headache, as if someone had just carefully slashed every inch of my head with a steel needle.

I remember that I was in a coma in my own home, how did I end up in this place? Seeing that there is a desolation all around here, and there is not even a ruined village, who brought me here? What is the purpose?

"Anyone?"

I tried to whisper twice, but my throat was as dry as two rusty gongs colliding together, and the sound I made startled me all.

No one answered me, and the surroundings were still empty.

Waiting for death in place was not an option, I looked around, the only thing that could be called a reference was the two dead dragon claws in front of me, and I had no choice but to walk there.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and now I have seen it, these two dragon claws seem not far away, but I ran for a long time to get under the tree, and I am now thirsty and tired, my stomach is growling, and my throat is about to come out of green smoke.

Finally came to the tree, I held on to the rough wrinkled trunk of a dragon claw locust tree desperately panting, after a while finally rested, and when I was about to stand up, I found that my hand was for some reason, it was firmly glued to the bark of the tree, and I couldn't tear it off.

This weird thing is really one after another!

I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely, but I tried everything but I couldn't pull my hand back, just when I was seriously considering whether to learn from the ancients to break my wrist, I only felt a pain in my palm!

Although I couldn't see what I found, I knew that there must have been a hole in my palm, and blood was gushing out of the wound, I was very anxious, but there was nothing I could do to stop it, every time I tore the palm of my hand, the wound widened again, I really had no choice but to wait quietly, although I didn't know what I was waiting for.

More and more blood is flowing out of my body, I have gradually felt a little dizzy, every breath takes a lot of strength, I can't see anything in front of me clearly, now that I think about it, this so-called dragon claw locust in front of me is a trap at all, and I still run over with my fart, it's exactly the same as when I was in the Bronze Temple!

Wait...... Bronze Temple?!

What is this place? Why does it sound inexplicably familiar? But it's impossible, how could I, a psychologist who keeps to myself, ever been to that kind of place? It can't be my dying hallucination, right?

No, no, the Bronze Temple...... This is certainly not an illusion, although I don't know what these four words represent, but when I think of these four words, my heart trembles fiercely, like a big hand grabbing my heart and liver and squeezing it hard, really hurting my heart.

The blood in my body is flowing more and more, obviously I have passed the boundary of coma and even death, but I am miraculously still alive, and my consciousness is getting clearer and clearer, the inherent memories in my mind began to slowly loosen and blur, but some memories that should not belong to me have been forced in!

Pheasant Grave ...... Bronze Temple......

Demon ...... Fatso...... Hung King Lung ......

And also...... Demons!

Wrong! I'm definitely in the realm of demons right now!

The first moment this thought came to mind, I felt a sudden enlightenment, and now the memories that had been imposed on me in my mind suddenly vanished, and the memories that belonged to me slowly came back bit by bit, and then, cracks slowly appeared in this desolate world, and then began to crumble like an earthquake.

To put it this way...... Did that dragon claw locust save me just now?

I turned my head to look at the locust again, and under my gaze, the locust slowly grew blood-red leaves, and then withered rapidly, and the whole tree began to turn into ashes, and as the shock quickly faded away, leaving only a dark and bottomless black hole in its place.

I know what that means.

Without any further hesitation, I jumped directly towards the black hole, and when I was about to disappear into this world, I inadvertently turned my head and saw the man in black, who was in a corner of the world, smiling quietly at me, a mouthful of white teeth shining.

It turns out that he is also me.
