I walked out of the kitchen and followed the direction of the black shadow to the living room, the moonlight was shining on the floor, and in the corner of the wall, there was indeed a black shadow, I couldn't see what it was, but I saw it shaking like a sieve, as if it was shivering.

Originally, I wanted to turn on the light first, but I was afraid that the strong light would scare it, after all, there was no special fire field in the house, maybe it was a wild cat jumping in along the tree opposite.

Outside the window on the ninth floor, an unusually thick tree was shaking its branches and leaves in the breeze.

I walked lightly to the black figure, and gradually saw its outline, it was not a wild cat, but a very emaciated dog, and from its drooping ears and narrow face, it was easy to tell that it was a dog.

It was as if there was something in the room that made it tremble incessantly.

When I was less than a meter away from it, it suddenly raised its head, and its black face had a pair of red eyes, red as burnt coals.

The moment I made eye contact with it, the alertness I had trained from walking on the edge of life and death several times told me that this dog was very dangerous!

I immediately took a step back, and it pounced on me at the same time, the Qinggang Sword and the Fantian Seal were both in the bedroom, and there was only a cold water cup on the coffee table in my hand.

It wasn't too fast, so I dodged slightly, then picked up the cold water cup on the table and slammed it into the dog.

But the moment the cold water cup touched it, it disappeared, and like the black shadow that had come to kill me before, it also disappeared completely in an extremely sudden way, as if it had been obliterated by some invisible force.

The glass of cold water didn't hit it, but it landed heavily on the TV stand.

First there was a crisp crack, then there was a cracking sound of the slope flute, the cold water cup was smashed, and the fragments were scattered everywhere.

Such a sound woke up Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang, and I soon heard the sound of them getting up, and before they came out, I first reminded: "Don't come out barefoot, there is broken glass outside!" ”

Liu Shangang asked me sullenly: "What's the matter, what is it?" ”

I didn't respond to him, but looked up at the window, the big tree that had just appeared outside the window had also disappeared, and I could only see the unit building opposite.

It's the ninth floor, and there's no such tall tree here in the youth apartment.

Liang Houzai also came out, and when he saw that there was a large amount of glass slag on the floor of the living room, he rushed into the kitchen and took a broom to clean it.

I said to him, "I was hallucinating. ”

Liang Houzai swept the broken glass into the pinch before straightening up and sighing, "That's not an illusion, it should be the memory of the evil god." ”

I haven't said anything yet, but he has made up his mind about what I saw, and it seems that he knew that I would see it, but he didn't tell me in advance.

At this time, Liang Houzai said, "I thought that with your Taoism, I wouldn't have seen those things. I didn't expect that even you would not be spared. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "How could I see those things?" ”

"That's the mark of the evil god," Ryu said to me as he thought about it, as if trying to find the right word, "it's what the evil god went through before he became an evil god." For example, if this building suffered a big change in a certain year and month, condensed a lot of resentment and became an evil god, then this change is its mark. Because you have been cursed, you are in a sense connected to the will of the evil gods, so you may see these marks. ”

I roughly understood what he meant, and nodded.

In fact, I don't need to say that I also know that before I kill the evil god, I am afraid that such an illusion will always be with me.

Liang Houzai was silent for a moment, and then said: "Brother Dao, when you sleep in the future, you should often have some impressive dreams, and you'd better record all these dreams." ”

I turned to look at him, "I had a dream like this just now. Is there any point in recording these dreams? ”

"The book says that from these dreams, you can find the weakness of the evil god." Liang Houzai said: "You just need to write down the abnormal places in the dream. ”

I said, "There was something wrong in my dream...... But as soon as I saw those things, I suddenly had a headache, and then I woke up. ”

Liang Houzai habitually touched his chin: "Headache? But the book says that when people dream under the influence of evil gods, they should not wake up. Ah, maybe the Blackwater Corpse has sensed the anomaly and wants to interrupt the connection between the evil god and you, so you'll have a headache. ”

It has to be said that there is indeed such a possibility.

Liu Shangang also came over and asked us, "What are you two talking about, why don't I understand?" ”

I gave him a helpless smile, but didn't say anything, I looked up at the clock, it was a quarter past twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was about ten minutes since I got up, that is, it was very likely that the time of my dream was twelve o'clock in the morning.

I asked Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai to go back to sleep first, and then went back to the bedroom alone, took out the notebook and pen that had been prepared in the apartment from the drawer of the desk, and recorded all the unusual places in the dream under the soft yellow light of the lamp.

Even though I have a computer, I think it's better to write down the content of my dreams one by one while thinking.

In my opinion, the most unusual place in the whole dream is not the face that appears under the table, but the loss of contact between Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai at the same time, since I was a child, I have seen countless things related to gods and ghosts, but the two of them have never lost contact at the same time.

In addition, there is another thing that makes me very puzzled, why is the voice coming from that face so thick?

I closed the cover of my notebook and fell into a long contemplation.

At two o'clock, I went back to bed, trying to see if I could dream anything useful, but unfortunately I didn't dream again until it was dawn.

When I got up, I looked at the electronic watch on the bedside, and the time was exactly six o'clock.

I got out of bed as I had dreamed in a dream and came to the living room.

There were no soy milk fritters on the table, Liang Houzai was washing up in the bathroom, and Liu Shangang put his T-shirt on his body and walked towards the door.

I asked him what he was going to do, and he said he was going out to buy breakfast.

As I passed the table, I squatted down and looked under the table. Luckily, the face didn't appear.

I let out a sigh of relief, and Liang Houzai walked out of the bathroom, and he probably thought my face was not right, so he asked me, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that the scene in the house is very similar to the dream I had." ”

Liang Houzai thought for a while and said, "Actually, that kind of dream will appear when you are sleeping and when you are awake. When you sleep, it's a dream, and when you're awake, it's a vision. You wait for me. ”

With that, he hurried into the guest room, and after a while he came out with an inked persimmon cake.

He handed me the persimmon cake and said, "If you take this persimmon cake with you, you will not see visions when you are awake, but you will still dream when you fall asleep." ”

I took the persimmon and said to Liang Houzai with a smile: "As long as you can't see illusions when you're awake, otherwise, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to distinguish between reality and illusion." By that time, I didn't think I'd be in a neurological hospital in less than a week. ”

Liang Houzai also smiled: "No." We have been training in the Jizo Tomb for more than half a year, and you should have enough psychological tolerance for this level of illusion. ”

I raised my eyebrows: "How do I feel, you seem to know a lot about my current situation, it's like...... You've experienced it yourself. ”

Liang Houzai: "Of course I understand, in Yelang's ancient witchcraft, there is similar witchcraft. ”

I replied simply, "Yes." I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

Although Liang Houzai deliberately made a very relaxed expression when he spoke just now, I always felt that he seemed to be hiding something from me.

When I came out of the bathroom, Liu Shangang also came back from buying food.

Looking at the few plastic bags in his hand, three or four bags were filled with fire, and one bag contained a few tea eggs. Fortunately, it's not soy milk fritters, and after that dream, I was particularly resistant to these two things.

I took a few packets of fresh milk from the refrigerator to the kitchen to heat it, and Liu Shangang asked me outside: "How long have you been living here, and the things are quite complete." ”

"I just moved in the day before yesterday." I put my face to the kitchen door and asked him, "What else is this besides furniture?" Why do you feel like you're all set? ”

Liu Shangang put breakfast on the dining table, and said to me when he finished: "Don't you still have fresh milk in the refrigerator, when I went to bed last night, I found that there was still an eye mask in the cabinet." ”

I smiled and said, "This building is a hotel from the fifth to the ninth floor, the eye mask is the original one, and the milk was ordered for me by the apartment before I came." ”

Liu Shangang ran to the kitchen and asked, "It's not cheap for you to rent this place, right?" ”

I said, "They happen to be in a trial operation, and the price is actually okay." You won't not notice that from the fifth floor to the ninth floor, you live in our household, right? ”

Liu Shangang smiled: "Of course I found out, but I just thought it was strange to ask you so much." However, the occupancy rate of this community is really high, and there are office buildings along the street. Except for this one and the building next door, which are basically full, I see that except for one office on the other side of the office building, the others are also full. ”

I guess he ran out to buy food so early in the morning, and he had to study the environment here anyway, and now it seems that it is true.

"Normal, this was originally a youth apartment." I tried the temperature of the milk, it was already warm, and while serving them, I said to Liu Shangang: "When I came here, I heard from the apartment that their office buildings are all new industries, and there are often students from various departments working part-time there, and some working full-time after graduation." Students have no work experience, and the wages are low, so they can be regarded as cheap labor, and there are many companies with small capital that like to use student workers. ”

Liu Shangang let out an "oh" and went out with two bowls.

During the meal, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai still kept talking to me, and they were all in the east and west, and there was no point at all.

I felt that there was definitely something wrong with the two of them, so I put down the fire in my hand and interrupted Liu Shangang, who was speaking: "You stop first." What do I think, you two have been out of words this morning, what's going on? What exactly is going on? ”
