Chapter 2: The Women's Bathhouse
Meng Lin didn't want to change Aunt Li's living room on the third floor for the time being, he wanted to keep the traces of Aunt Li's life for a while, so he temporarily lived in this small room behind the faΓ§ade.
In the past, when he was working in a bubble tea shop, Meng Lin often took a nap in this small room, which had a small bed, which was specially arranged for him by Aunt Li. Sleeping here gave him a peculiar sense of security and familiarity.
After tidying up the bed, Meng Lin opened the APP and clicked Next.
"Preparation 3: Dip your finger in blood, draw the following rune on the front of the dream mirror, and then hang the dream mirror on the wall of the room you sleep in (your own blood works best)."
"Blood? In this evening, where can I buy chickens, ducks and fish to get blood? And I'm not coming to my aunt! This game is getting more and more! Looking at the strange runes displayed on the screen of his mobile phone, which were crooked and couldn't tell whether it was words or patterns, Meng Lin shook his head angrily, he wanted to ignore it, but he felt that he had played it to this point, and it was a pity to give up.
Meng Lin has been working in Africa for the past two years, because of the security problems of the African continent, he did not dare to run around the mountains and rivers, and he relied on playing mobile games for recreation on weekdays.
Bleeding by biting your own fingers with your teeth...... This kind of bridge is also seen in movies and novels, if you really bite like this, it hurts and may lead to bacterial infection.
However, this matter was not difficult for Meng Lin, he remembered that when he was cleaning Aunt Li's bedroom, he saw that she had a blood glucose meter in her drawer, and that thing had a blood collection needle, and it was easy to prick his finger to take blood.
Soon Meng Lin found a blood collection needle, pricked his finger and squeezed out the blood, then drew the scoop according to the rune pattern on the mobile phone screen, and drew the talisman on the sterilized mirror.
After drawing the talisman, Meng Lin walked to the wall with the mirror, compared the angles, deliberately chose an angle that could shine on the bed, and then knocked a nail on the wall, and pasted double-sided tape on the back of the mirror, and fixed the mirror firmly on the wall.
Meng Lin took a few steps back, admired his masterpiece left and right for a while, and then picked up his phone again and clicked the next step of the task in the APP.
"Congratulations, the preparations are all complete!"
"Final tip 1: To ensure the success of the newbie mission, turn off the lights before bed and fall asleep as soon as possible."
"Final tip 2: If you can't sleep, count them."
"Final tip 3: If you still can't sleep, you can press a heavier book on your chest, which will make you have a very special experience after falling asleep."
"Final tip 4: The dream mirror is the key to leaving the nightmare, and finding the dream mirror is the key to completing the mission."
"Waiting to enter the mission......
The phone screen shows that it has not changed again.
Meng Lin waited for a while to confirm that there was nothing else, and then put the phone under the pillow of his small bed.
In order for the bubble tea shop to open as soon as possible, Meng Lin continued to pick up the store in the evening, and was busy until more than eleven o'clock at night.
After a tiring day, Meng Lin was tired and tired, and his eyes couldn't open a little. After taking a shower, I lay down on the bed and played with my mobile phone for a few minutes, but I remembered that strange mobile phone game, so I took out the weird black mobile phone from under the pillow.
It is still the words 'last prompt, waiting to enter the task......'.
"Okay, then go to sleep, and wait until tomorrow morning to know if this rookie mission has been completed."
Meng Lin followed the prompts on his mobile phone, took out a physical book of online novels that he had bought for pastime from his suitcase, pressed it to his chest, then closed his eyes and began to count them.
From the beginning of counting, before he counted to thirty, Meng Lin, who was extremely tired, fell asleep groggily.
β¦β¦
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
It seems to be the sound of a mirror shattering.
"What is this place?"
"What am I doing here?"
"Why are you dizzy?"
Meng Lin's consciousness was a little sober, and he quickly stabilized his body.
Everything around him became clear.
"Isn't that right? Wasn't I sleeping, why did I suddenly run to the street of Chunxi Road? And ......"
Meng Lin looked at the traffic around him and couldn't help but be surprised.
"What the hell? How is it daytime? β
Meng Lin raised his head and looked at the sky, a round of white sun in the sky, shining on people, the shadow became the smallest, which showed that it was noon at this time.
"But why can't I feel the glare of the sun when I look at it? It looks like a white cake? β
"It's not scientific! Could it be that billions of years have passed and the Sun has become a white dwarf? β
"Now that the sun has become a white dwarf, will the Earth still exist?"
"You don't feel any heat on your body?"
"That's right, that app! I'm dreaming! β
It seems that the speculation is still the most reliable dream.
However, even if it is a dream, this dream is too special!
Maintaining a certain level of consciousness in a dream, this Meng Lin has not tried in the past, when he was bored before, he even tried lucid dreaming and the like according to the methods on the Internet.
But no matter how lucid you are in your dream, you can't be as lucid as this dream.
Sober to the point that even the words on the buildings far away on Chunxi Road can be clearly recognized......
Wait a minute!
Meng Lin suddenly frowned and looked at an eight-story circular commercial plaza at the intersection in front of him.
"Longxing Mall?"
Wasn't Longxing Mall destroyed by a major fire three years ago?
Meng Lin happened to pass by the scene of the fire and witnessed the terrible fire with his own eyes.
The fire in the entire mall was very fierce, and in less than ten minutes, smoke and flames were rising from all sides of the entire building, and the bright flames were pouring out on all sides of the mall, and the thick plumes of smoke that were hundreds of meters high almost dyed a large area of the sky above the nearby head black.
Meng Lin, who was at the scene at the time, even had a sense of the end of the world.
By the time fire trucks arrived, it took several hours to extinguish the fire, and the building where the mall was located burned to the skeleton.
A year later, before graduating from university and going to Africa, he heard that the original site of the mall had been remodeled and a new commercial building was to be built, and the name of the new building was chosen, called Moba New Town.
Aunt Li seemed to have mentioned on the phone before her death that Moba New Town had completed the construction of more than a dozen floors in a year and a half, and opened for business, which is a comprehensive commercial body integrating shopping, catering and amusement.
But now, there is no Moba New Town here, but an intact Longxing Mall!
Noon?
Longxing Mall?
Where are you?
Meng Lin suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
Don't......
Turn back the clock?
Just when Meng Lin felt that something was not good in his heart, black smoke suddenly appeared around the Longxing Mall building not far away, and then an open flame appeared.
