“... I fell asleep. I don't know when, I started dreaming. ”

Zhou Ji lowered his head, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the armrests of the sofa.

"I can't remember when the dream started. When I can remember, I was already standing on the ground, and the scene around me was very strange, the sky was dark, and I couldn't see anything but the road under my feet......"

————————

Zhou Ji stood blankly in the middle of the road. In his dream, he didn't know where that place was, and he didn't know why he was there. He felt that his mind was blank, and only a thought for no reason kept reminding him to follow the path, and so he began to walk aimlessly.

Zhou Ji said to Wang Yao that he still vaguely remembered the chaotic thoughts in his mind at that time, and he was silently remembering that he had never been to this place. Because there is no country in the world that has such a one-way road as black as a black hole, unless it is not on earth, but in hell.

When Zhou Ji said these words, readers and friends who are familiar with Zhou Ji must have seen that something was wrong. Because he lied, it was not that he had never seen the place in the dream, nor had he not been there, because he had dreamed of a similar scene many months ago, after Li Tang "died". In the dream, Li Tang also had some words with him, but the details had been forgotten by him.

Zhou Ji didn't tell Wang Yao about this, in fact, he can't be blamed for lying, of course, it's not that he forgot the previous dream, but because although Zhou Ji had doubts about these things, everything seemed so unreal, it was like a mentally ill person talking crazy, so he hid this little secret in his heart.

And this little secret is the first thing Zhou Ji concealed from Wang Yao during the narration.

Back to the topic, Zhou Ji walked aimlessly on the dark road, walking. He didn't know how far he had walked, how much time he had walked, and the scenery around him was always the same. He didn't feel flustered, and continued walking as if he was doing something familiar. Until he suddenly saw the silhouette of a standing vague figure in front of the road, where he couldn't forget the end of a black hole.

According to normal times, if Zhou Ji suddenly saw an unidentified figure in front of him in that situation, he would definitely be frightened and pay attention. But at that time, he was in a dream, and he couldn't control his thoughts and actions in the dream, just as a senseless bystander, watching "himself" step by step towards the figure in the darkness.

Soon, Zhou Ji was less than 10 meters away from the figure. This distance was enough for him to see the other party's face clearly in a dimly lit place, but it was so dark that he couldn't see his five fingers, so Zhou Ji could only roughly see the person's body shape and clothes.

I saw that the man was wearing a straight suit, stepping on shiny leather shoes, and his height was about 1.85 meters, with a standard physique. He stood on the road in the darkness with his back to Zhou Ji, motionless.

Zhou Ji stood 10 meters away, he didn't go any further, but stood still and looked forward carefully, he felt that the back of that person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

At this moment, the man with his back to him suddenly spoke:

"You're here."

His voice was hoarse and echoed, as if he were speaking in an empty cavern.

Zhou Ji subconsciously replied:

"Hmm. I'm coming. ”

"So, it's been so long, what do you want to do all of a sudden?" The man said coldly.

Zhou Ji did not answer. Maybe he didn't know how to answer at the time.

And the man still didn't seem to have the intention of turning around to look at Zhou Ji. He waited for a while, but he didn't hear Zhou Ji's answer, so he snorted coldly and continued:

"Why, don't you even know why you want to see me?"

Zhou Ji still didn't answer.

"Won't you answer?" The man wondered. When he confirmed that the other party seemed to have nothing to say, he burst out laughing. His laughter was so horrific that even the voice acting of the best horror movies couldn't imitate a single part of it:

"Hahahahaha!! You, you, the perfect person, have finally fallen into this! You can't tell, it's okay, I'll tell you for you! The reason why you came to me is because you are a coward, you can no longer bear the pressure of real life, you are a perfect and happy person, you can only accept luck and love yourself in your life, and you can't accept the slightest blow at all!! Coward, you're a coward!! I told you a long time ago that even if you dominate everything and lock me up in this endless darkness, I will win in the end!! Hahahaha!! ”

“... Why don't you say to me? ”

Zhou Ji suddenly asked. He didn't know if he said it in his dream, or if he really said it. Perhaps it was because he was very curious about the true identity of the familiar back that he suddenly said such a thing.

The man who laughed wildly couldn't help but shake his body after hearing this, and his laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, the man spoke:

“... What, do you want to see my face? ”

Zhou Ji did not answer. His heart suddenly became conflicted, on the one hand, the inexplicable panic seemed to warn himself not to watch, if he did, it would be all over. But on the other hand, he urged himself to hurry up and look, as long as he looked at the man's face, all his questions would be answered.

There was another long silence.

The man with his back to Zhou Ji seemed to sense the other party's hesitation, and laughed wildly again:

"Hahaha, what? You asked to see my 'shadow' face, why are you scared now? Are you so cowardly out of guilt for what you have done to me? Or is it because you're afraid of losing everything you have now? ”

Speaking of this, the man suddenly paused, and instantly put away his smile. He said coldly:

"You're a selfish villain. Since that day of separation, he has never said to me to look at my face. But today you brought it up to me. In that case, I will do what you wish, so that you can see my face well, and then understand the entanglement between the two of us. After all, we knew from the beginning that you and I couldn't get along, and one had to be a sacrifice. Then Zhou Ji, just keep your eyes open and take a good look at what I look like! ”

As he spoke, the man turned around sharply and faced Zhou Ji. His figure remained hidden in the darkness, and nothing could be seen.

Just when Zhou Ji breathed a sigh of relief, the man sneered and walked towards him step by step.
