Chapter 18: Dreaming
"I said that it doesn't matter to you who I am right now, I'm just here to remind you that there are some things that you can't forget if you want to, and once you participate in this game, you can't break free!"
"What the hell do you know? Tell me! Jiang Liu yelled anxiously at the man in the trench coat.
The man in the trench coat looked at Jiang Liu's urgent demeanor, the corners of his mouth pulled out a dangerous arc, and he looked at Jiang Liu with a mocking eye and said, "Sometimes I really can't understand why a cowardly character like you can be above us!" If you are born, we will be born! If you die, we die! ”
As he spoke, the man in the trench coat raised his slender right hand and slowly and unstoppably stretched it out towards the throat of the river. Time seemed to suddenly slow down, and Jiang Liu could only watch the white, slender palm slowly enlarge in front of him, and even the palm prints could be seen clearly.
When the windbreaker man's palm touched Jiang Liu's throat, the palm began to tighten little by little, randomly as if pinching a fragile chick, and lifted him into the air effortlessly, and the windbreaker man's expression also became hideous at this time: "You know what! Whenever I see you living carefree outside, I feel so angry that I want to kill you!! Have you forgotten her! You forgot the oath you swore in your heart before! ”
"You .. Finally.... At.... Say something ... What the! ”
Lifted into the air by the man in the trench coat with one hand, he felt a little difficult to breathe, and struggled to escape from the man in the trench coat, but the palm of the man in the trench coat was too firm to be shaken like steel poured.
As his breathing became more and more difficult, his face began to turn pale, and the man in the trench coat still looked at Jiang Liu, who was struggling with his palms, with a hideous expression and a resentful tone, and said, "You know what! If it weren't for other personalities locking me up, I would have come out and tore you apart! ”
"But thanks to your performance in the past 3 years!" The man in the trench coat smiled cruelly: "If it weren't for your behavior in the past 3 years that other personalities couldn't stand it, they wouldn't have let me out and let me talk to you!" Speaking of which, I actually have to thank you! Because of you, I had the opportunity to come out and breathe. Hehe! The outside world is really nice, even the environment is not so monotonous!! ”
"you! ..... Isn't there something wrong with you..... What the hell I've been doing is your business! Jiang Liu felt that the man in the trench coat in front of him was a psychopath!
"Look! What a fragile personality! I and the other sub-personalities don't understand, what happened 3 years ago? Makes you want to be as cowardly as you are now, like a poor puppy! The man in the trench coat was like an addict and was still saying something that Jiang Liu didn't understand at all.
I don't know if it's because the man in the trench coat is too excited, or for other reasons, the originally steely palm trembled a little, and he struggled desperately after being noticed by Jiang Liu, and the man in the trench coat also felt that he who was constantly struggling in front of him didn't seem to be very interesting, so he threw Jiang Liu out directly with a flick of his hand.
As soon as the unfettered river landed, he took several steps back, wanting to stay away from the abnormal man in front of him! It was only safe to retreat to the wall, explained to the man in the trench coat.
"I don't understand what the hell you're talking about! And I don't know you at all! ”
Jiang Liu wanted to explain to the man in the trench coat in front of him, but was interrupted by the man.
"Oh, I almost forgot that you are no longer the master personality of 3 years ago, and now you are as pure as a blank piece of paper, but I wonder what your blank sheet of paper will become in the end!" The man in the trench coat suddenly pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
"It's a dream, too! It's similar to the previous two paranormal events! ”
Jiang Liu said suddenly, the previous two supernatural events were also as undetectable as now, and he thought that he was in a dream now, and unknowingly participated in some kind of horror game. And what the somewhat dangerous trench coat man in front of him said was most likely a hint.
"I don't want to talk to you all of a sudden." The man in the trench coat was very speechless by what Jiang Liu said. And just as Jiang Liu pondered where the hint was this time, the walls around him began to shake.
"Is it time?" The man in the trench coat looked at the surroundings that began to shake, and said with some regret: "It seems that my behavior is a little overstepping, and the time is over early." ”
"Remember! You'll never escape its grasp! ”
The surrounding buildings were like a mirror suddenly broken, and the darkness hidden around him swept directly towards him like a flood of beasts.
When he opened his eyes, Jiang Liu found that he had fallen asleep in front of the counter, and there was still spicy hot cooking in the pot, but there were not so many, the water in the pot was boiling and surging, and white mist was rising from the pot. Everything was peaceful, no one entered the store, no man in a trench coat, and no gibberish, as if everything was a dream he had just had.
[Here we go again!] What the hell is going on here! How could such a dream suddenly appear? Or is this another hint that that the horrific death game may be back in the near future? 】
Since he had already experienced this kind of incident twice, the fear in Jiang Liu's heart was no longer as tense as it was at the beginning. It can also be said that all this happening in his mind is nothing more than a dream, a dream derived from a disgust with the dull reality of life. More than ten years of godless scientific values have made him have the last trace of insistence on this kind of terrifying and weird thing that happened to him, anyway, every time it happens, it is in a dream, as long as it doesn't happen in real life! Then you can't jump to conclusions as soon as possible!
Looking out the glass window at the empty streets, a thought of being cut off from the world reappeared in his mind, the last time this thought appeared was the first time Jiang Liu experienced a nightmare, only this time this thought was more obvious and scared to him. He was afraid what he would do if one day this idea became a reality.
Thinking like this, Jiang Liu slowly fell asleep again. Thankfully, this time there was no messy dream that broke into his dream again.
The night passed quietly, and when he woke up, the first rays of the dawn were reflected on his face through the glass. Looking back at the clock on the wall behind him, it was already more than 5 o'clock, and Nian Xia was going to take over in half an hour, Jiang Liu hurriedly washed his face, and after washing off all the oil that appeared on his face after staying up all night, he poured the spicy tang that he hadn't eaten last night into the trash can, packed it and put it outside the store. When everything was cleaned up, Jiang Liu sat at the counter and waited for the happiest moment of the day.
