Chapter 16: Nightmares
"Good thing the bed in this room is big enough. Let's make do with sleep together tonight. You shouldn't mind, right? Lu Qing asked Daniel while tidying up the bed. It's fine, as long as Miss Betsy doesn't mind and I sleep in the same bed with her sweetheart. Daniel quipped.
Lu Qing was a little embarrassed and touched his nose: "That, you misunderstood, I only treat Betsy as a sister." "Why, don't you like Miss Becky? I can tell she's very dependent on you. Daniel asked, curiously. Well, she's not my type. However, it fits the aesthetic of a friend of mine, Lolicon. Thinking that Akai might look at him angrily, Lu Qing suddenly laughed.
"Oh, that's right. Looks like you already have a sweetheart. She must be a beautiful girl, I thought. Daniel teased. Well, yes. The face of the person he cared about came to mind, Lu Qing smiled shyly, wiped the camera carefully, and placed it next to the pillow.
Outside the frame, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Dai Shikai peeked at Li Wenqiao, the other party's gloomy face had turned cloudy, and at this moment, he could still see the flush on his face and the smile on the corner of his mouth. "Lu Qing can, he has a strong desire to survive." Fan Huan muttered quietly. "yes, I underestimated this chicken thief guy." Dai Shikai gave a thumbs up to the camera.
"Wen Qiao, what do you think?" Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, poured a glass of water and sat back beside her. "This Daniel is good, very good at talking." Li Wenqiao responded with a spring breeze smile on his face. "This woman turns her face faster than she turns a book." The eldest brother and Chen Shuo each lit a cigarette. Lu Qing probably didn't know that this little episode before they went to bed made the atmosphere in the space harmonious again.
At three o'clock in the morning, after handing over to Daniel, Lu Qing fell asleep. In order to get used to the task, he has already developed the habit of light sleep, as long as there is a slight movement around him, he can wake him up, but today as soon as he touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep. And, he had another dream.
The dream is mixed with the laughter of children and the dreamy and soft music of the music box. Vaguely, he saw a dignified and elegant woman. The woman beckoned in the direction where Lu Qing was, and then a child staggered over. The woman lovingly held the child in her arms, and the next second, the door was opened, and the woman's face showed a panicked look. He didn't see it really, and the faces of the two were very blurry, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.
The picture suddenly turned black, and the music of the music box gradually changed its tone, from the previous warmth, to distorted and weird. In the background, there are also fights, abuse, and women's whispered sobs.
When the light shone into the house, Lu Qing found himself in a dark room. The door was rudely pushed open, and the young maid brought the meal to herself. Although the other party's behavior seems to be very cautious, his demeanor is full of disgust, and he seems unwilling to have any physical contact with him. "It's really cheap." The maid turned off the light and locked the door of the house.
The darkness enveloped itself like a tide, and Lu Qing's eyes became heavier and heavier. I don't know how long later, when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in total darkness. "Where is this?" Lu Qing stood up and looked around, only to find that there was nothing around but darkness. He suddenly felt a splitting headache, and could only hold his head and squat on the ground in pain. At this time, he suddenly found that in the chaotic darkness in front of him, a pair of evil eyes appeared.
"Everybody will die here."
Lu Qing's body trembled like an electric shock, and then opened his eyes suddenly. "Qing, are you alright?" Daniel was startled and immediately helped him to his feet. "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare." Lu Qing waved his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Come, have a glass of water." Daniel thoughtfully handed him the cup: "It's still five o'clock in the morning, you can sleep a little longer." ”
"It's okay, I'm already in a lot of energy." Lu Qing was completely sleepy at the moment, and the dream just now must have been a hint from the space. The dark room in the dream must have been where Devine lived before her death. Sure enough, it's not as simple as Carol Burke and Annata say. Looks like we have to go there today.
He turned on the light, pulled down the curtains, and looked out the window, where the sky was already a little cloudy, and the gray fog outside the manor stopped about five meters from the house, and although it had not dissipated, it had not advanced. Lu Qing pushed open the window and poked his head out to take a look. Luckily, there was no gray fog near the woods marked on the drawings.
Last night, it was stipulated that we should meet in the living room at 7 o'clock in the morning, and now there is still about an hour before the scheduled time. Daniel looked tired because he was in charge of keeping watch for the second half of the night, and Lu Qing saw that he was not in a good state, so he said, "You can rest for a while." I'm used to waking up early, so I'm not sleepy right now. "Well, I'm sorry." Soon after Daniel got into bed, he fell asleep.
After making sure that he was asleep, Lu Qing took out the drawings and notebook from the drawer, and while recalling everything that happened on the first day and the scene from last night's dream, he recorded the main points in the notebook. This is his habit, and when conditions permit, he likes to write down the analysis of the life path with a pen, so that it looks clear and clear, and most importantly, it is convenient to explain to others.
Due to the huge amount of information, he wrote several pieces of paper densely. By the time Lu Qing had sorted everything out, it had already been an hour and a half later. "I'm almost getting a clue." Satisfied, he put down the pen and put the notebook in his pocket. After washing his face with cold water, he felt that his mind and spirit were in good shape. "It's time to wake up Daniel." He stretched and walked to the bed.
"It's so handsome, I'm convinced of this appearance." After Lu Qing saw Daniel's sleeping face, he sighed again. Different from the appearance of Asians, the silhouettes of Europeans and Americans are very deep and three-dimensional, and Daniel's facial features are not to mention, every part is as delicate as a sculpture. His hair color is light gold, due to untaken reasons, at this time his hair is scattered on the pillow, with the pale skin and cherry red lips, Lu Qing thinks of Tom Cruise in "Interview with the Vampire".
Even when resting, the elegant sleeping appearance is perfect and impeccable, and Daniel at this moment seems to really look like the noble vampire in the movie, handsome, mysterious and unreal. When I think of the ugly posture of Akai sleeping with his mouth open and his legs open on the messy chicken nest that he usually saw in the morning, the tragic scene was a stark contrast to Daniel's side.
"I'm about to bend if I look at it any longer." Lu Qing patted his head self-deprecatingly, reached out and patted Daniel: "Wake up, it's almost time to gather." ”
"Oh, okay. This night's sleep is so good. Qing, it's so safe to be in the same room with you. Daniel stretched and pulled his hair back to reveal the delicate cross tattoo on the side of his neck. He changed into another white shirt, and after putting on his coat, he said to Lu Qing, "We can go." ”
"Oh......" Lu Qing was a little stunned. A handsome guy is a handsome guy, and an inadvertent action is also full of charm. He suddenly understood the thoughts of those star-chasing girls.
"Brother Qing is really lucky." Liu Sitong said with emotion. "What's wrong?" Bai Qi asked.
"There is a beautiful confidant in this mission, and he can sleep with such a good-looking man, what a winner in life." Liu Sitong stared at Daniel on the screen, his eyes full of envy. Not only her, but the other women in the space were eager to put their faces on the screen.
"Who's to say it isn't. I also want to be in the same room with these beautiful women. Lori, Royal Sister, Maid...... It's simply a man's paradise. "Everyone's point seems to be a little off.
