My name is Luo Xiaohao and I am 24 years old.

Halfway through his life, he is still an unemployed vagrant.

Ironically, I suffered from adolescent anxiety disorder in high school, and it hasn't diminished until now.

Adolescent anxiety disorder is when you are still young, you start to think about what to do in the future, what to do is meaningful, and whether the pressure of work will be great......

So, until now, I haven't found a job, and I've been shouting the slogan "It's shameful to gnaw at the old" for a year, constantly oppressing myself, but I still haven't achieved anything, and I haven't even found the most basic job.

It's not that no company wants me, but I don't know what I can do, and the long-term life of stretching out my hands and opening my mouth for food has left me without mastering any survival skills.

Still, I don't want to go on like this.

Determined to survive on my own, I left home last Sunday and went to another city.

However, the reality is always cruel, and a week has passed, and I am still a person who has stayed out of work.

I didn't want to go home, and I didn't have the face to go home, because it was like I had come out on purpose.

Now I only have 300 yuan in all my belongings, and I should be able to last for two days if I save money.

But I'm not ready to live such a life anymore, as the old saying goes, break and then stand!

In ancient times, Xiang Yu broke the cauldron to meet the enemy, and now I have Luo Xiaohao to find a job.

Yes, I came out today to prepare to spend all the money on my body, put pressure on myself, and starve to death if I don't look for a job.

When it comes to money, the first thing that comes to mind is the fish restaurant, which is a place that sells fish.

It's not as simple as digging out the internal organs, cutting the fish into pieces, and packing it for you to take away.

Instead, buy good fish in the fish restaurant, let the master of management help you kill it, and then cook it in the pot, about ten minutes or so, and you can eat a pot of fragrant fish hot pot.

I am currently in City C, which is a thriving hot pot industry, how can I not eat hot pot once when I come here!

When it comes to hot pot, I really like fish hot pot more, and several times I pass by the fish restaurant, I have an urge to go in and have a meal.

However, the consumption chain of the fish restaurant is too high, and the cheapest one costs nearly 100 yuan, which often makes me look away.

But today, I decided to go in and have a meal, and I had to eat an expensive one.

Shunshui Fish Restaurant, this is a hotel that I have observed for a long time, the wind review is very good, and it is natural to come here to eat.

I followed the signs and walked up to the second floor.

I was greeted at the door by two smiling waiters, and the atmosphere was very elegant, with intoxicating music playing.

They took me to the table where I was served, had a brief conversation, and then took me to choose the fish to eat.

There is a fish cooking kitchen connected to a glass pond that is stacked on top of each other, and each floor is stocked with different species of fish.

Guests can see the live fish in the fish tank from the dining hall.

After deciding which fish to eat, tell the master in the fish pond that he will help the customer choose a specific size of fish and weigh it.

If the customer thinks it is suitable, the fish pond master will quickly slaughter it and send it to the kitchen for cooking.

It's a whole lot of peace of mind.

There are many varieties of fish, about six or seven, and I don't know which one to choose.

Because the most expensive fish is only 128 yuan a catty, and a fish is almost a little more than a catty, which is not enough to consume the 300 yuan on my body.

I don't have enough money to buy two.

I wondered if I should buy a cheaper fish, buy a few more, and spend 300 yuan reasonably.

But it's a pity to eat a meal, of course, to eat the best fish.

Just as I was hesitating, suddenly the water in the top fish tank shook a little, and I subconsciously looked.

I saw a long, black fish, staring at me violently through the glass tank.

I was stunned, this fish is still psychic?

"Guest, it seems that this sturgeon likes you a lot, why don't you buy one?" The master in the fish pond asked with a smile.

"Sturgeon?", I scanned the price of sturgeon in the price column on the menu, and it was the most expensive fish at 128 yuan a catty.

After understanding the price, I didn't hesitate any longer, nodded and said, "Well, that's it." ”

"Haole", the master used a fishing net to net the sturgeon, put it on the electronic scale, and weighed it.

It was less than a catty, only seven taels.

After I finished reading it, the master said, "Guest, you go back to your seat and wait, it will only take a few minutes to cook it for you." ”

I nodded, returned to my seat, and waited patiently.

This side, inside the kitchen.

The fish killer Mei Zizi knocked the sturgeon to death with a stick, scalded it with boiling water, threw it on the fish killing table, and said to the kitchen while throwing scales: "This sturgeon has finally been sold, and no one has bought it after it has been in the fish tank for more than 20 days." ”

A response came from the kitchen: "No way, who made this fish too small, according to market standards, the weight of this fish is not up to standard, and it is not allowed to be sold in regular stores." ”

"Our store is also a regular store, chef, next time don't buy fish that doesn't meet the weight standard, it's not easy to sell." The fish killer said.

The head chef responded: "I have always bought it according to the standard, who knows how this sturgeon got in, it is estimated that the group of wholesalers who sell fish did it......"

"Huh?" The fish-killing master suddenly let out a startled sound.

"How?"

The fish killer hesitated for a moment and replied, "This sturgeon...... The flesh is golden brown. ”

"Golden?" The head chef came to the fish pond from the kitchen and said, "I'll take a look." Hey, it's really golden, huh...... It can't be a mutant variant. ”

"No kidding, head chef. Hurry up and decide if you want this fish or not? The fish killing master asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, why not." The head chef took over the work of killing the fish, and he killed the fish by dividing it by two.

"But what if something happens to the guest?" The fish killer still felt uneasy.

"No, the fish sent here have been quality checked, and if they are poisonous, they will be eliminated long ago." The head chef quickly washed the fish with water and brought it to the kitchen to start cooking.

……

When I finished eating the fish and walked out of the store, I still had nearly 200 yuan on me.

For this dinner, I spent a total of 140 yuan, which was the money I spent after ordering side dishes and packing some cold dishes.

I really didn't know what to spend the rest of the money for, and I was a little tired from just having enough to eat, so I went straight back to the rental house.

The rental house is a very simple small house with only one toilet and one bedroom, and a kitchen that is not visible as a kitchen, right at the door of the toilet.

For me, it doesn't matter, as long as I can live.

I put the cold dishes I packed aside, went to the toilet and took a shower, and fell into a deep sleep soon after falling on the bed.

In the middle of the night, I was sleeping when a voice suddenly sounded in my head.

There was helplessness, madness, and anger in the voice, especially the anger emotion was the strongest.

The voice is chattering, I don't know what I'm talking about?

I endured it for a long time, but in the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I opened my eyes suddenly, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything.

Carefully getting out of bed, I slowly approached the light switch, and after a few moments, it suddenly lit up.

The empty room has an unobstructed view, there is no place for anyone to hide, the bed is just a mattress, and there is no such thing as "there is someone under the bed".

I vigilantly checked the toilet and was pretty sure there was no one else in the room.

Is it a nightmare?

With that in mind, I turned off the lights and went back to bed.

It was fine at first, but when I was about to fall asleep, the voice came to mind again, this time much clearer than the last time.

"I want you to pay for your life......"

I only heard these five words clearly, and I quickly jumped out of bed and turned on the light.

Like last time, there was no one else in the room.

But this time, I'm not going to hypnotize myself with the excuse of "having nightmares" again.

The same thing happens once, and it may be a coincidence. If it happens twice in a row, there must be something weird.

Is it a amplified transmitter?

I rummaged through the room and couldn't find anything like a megaphone transmitter.

I didn't believe it anymore and went back to bed and lay down, this time without turning off the light.

I'd like to see who the Divine is doing. Having had an experience, this time I didn't hesitate at all, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Sure enough, just as I was about to fall asleep again, the voice came again. This time, I'm going to let them talk a little longer, and launch a surprise attack when they let their guard down.

"Human child, I know you can hear me, don't play this thief game anymore, if you don't want to die, go to bed quickly, otherwise...... Don't regret it! ”

This man has a sick brain, how can he talk when he is asleep? It is basically difficult for human beings to realize that they are dreaming in dreams, and it is difficult for the consciousness in reality to be mixed into dreams, let alone talk to the people in dreams.

Although I know this very well, I can't help but pay a lot of attention to this passage, especially the three words "don't regret" at the end, I feel that if I don't do what the voice instructs, something terrible will happen.

So, I followed this intention and fell asleep completely.

The next moment, I appeared in a pitch-black space.

What is this place? I looked around, but I couldn't see anything.

Then I was shocked to find that my consciousness in reality still existed.

Because I was very aware that this was not the world I lived in. And, remembering my mental activity before I went to bed, my purpose was to come in and find out where the sound was coming from.

So, I'm sure that my real-life consciousness still exists. Unless, everything I've just experienced is a dream.

"Hey", I tentatively took a few steps forward, and with each step there was some slight resistance under my feet, and it made a rattling sound, as if I was walking in water.

No, no, it's not like, I'm probably just standing in a liquid like water, thinking about it in great fear, and quickly asked loudly, "Hey, who are you?" What did you bring me here for? ”

I finished asking the question, and before I could slow down, there was a sudden sound in my ears: "You're finally willing to come in......"
