Chapter 180: Illusory Retribution
Early the next morning, I said goodbye to my parents, took a taxi to pick up Meng Xiang first, and then took a long-distance bus to Baokang County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Sitting side by side in the seats, I naturally reached out to hold one of Meng Xiang's small hands, and teased her all the way, but found that she was smiling very reluctantly.
"What's wrong? You can't have another nightmare last night, right? I asked her.
She shook her head, but didn't speak.
"Then why are you so sullen, you won't be reluctant to let your parents go, right?" I was joking with her.
She was stunned for a moment before she turned to look at me.
"Colliers, I think...... Maybe that thing didn't leave Xiangyang before, maybe ...... It's pestering me! ”
"Huh?" I was startled when I heard this, so I hurriedly sat up straight, and asked her, "What's wrong?" Another nightmare? ”
"This time it's not a nightmare, it's a ...... But I really saw it! ”
"What do you mean?" I was confused by her.
"I remember you said before that you were because of ...... I had a nightmare about a woman with no eyes, so for many days, I kept seeing terrible visions, I think I ...... last night I saw a vision, too! ”
"It can't be!" I blurted out that because the voice was loud and everyone else in the bus was looking at me, I hurriedly lowered my voice a little, "Tell me what you saw, could it be another nightmare?" ”
"That can't be a nightmare!" Meng Xiang shook his head in denial, "The first time was when I went to bed, I just reached out and turned off the light, and I saw it...... At the head of my bed, a dark shadow stood! I was startled and hurriedly turned on the light again, but there was nothing at the bedside! ”
"Could it be the image of the street lamp outside through the curtains?" I asked again, and my heart gradually lifted.
"Probably not!" Meng Xiang shook his head blankly, "At that time...... I also consoled myself that it was just a shadow, but ...... By this morning, when I was combing my hair in the mirror, ......"
Meng Xiang suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, as if he didn't dare to continue.
I realized that the problem might be serious, so I hurriedly reached out and hugged her tightly, just to comfort her, but not to ask questions.
Meng Xiang half leaned on my arms, and he was the boss for a while before he continued.
"At that time...... I was standing in front of the full-length mirror, and at first I ...... It's nothing, but ...... Just as I tied my hair and raised my face, I clearly saw a dark figure standing behind me! ”
She covered her face with her hands, probably remembering the situation and still being terrified.
I felt her tremble slightly in my arms, and I could only hug her harder and gently rub my hand around her arm.
It wasn't until she settled down a little that I asked softly, "Did you see it in the mirror, or did you see it when you turned your head?" ”
"It's seen in the mirror!" Meng Xiang raised his head from my arms and looked at me with a pale face, "Gao Li, I really saw it, not ...... Dazzling and so on! Though...... It was just a dark shadow, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt ...... He seems to be a man, and he ...... He's smiling at me! ”
I didn't know how to be relieved, so I could only nod my head and tell her, "I believe in you!" ”
I truly believe that after all, we've been through so many incredible things that nothing makes me feel impossible.
But the question is, why did Meng Xiang see the illusion?
In the past, I would see visions, because of that relief, and what was Meng Xiang for? Is it because she provoked the thing that borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul before?
But that thing obviously didn't move for so long because it recognized me, and if he wanted to pester people, he should also pester me!
So, is it because Meng Xiang had slept for more than a week before?
I immediately pulled out my phone and prepared to make a call.
"Who are you calling?" Meng Xiang asked me.
"I want to find out first, whether the people over there in Fangjiaao also saw visions. If so, then I think maybe we can go to the Cave of the Gods and relieve your troubles. I replied. It was both a relief to her and the only solution I could think of for the time being.
Meng Xiang smiled bitterly: "Gao Lingkai seems to be still there, right?" You can call him directly! ”
"It should be there, I've called him in the past two days, but it doesn't work. This guy seems to be really caught in love and won't catch up with Shang Fei, and he vows not to give up! I said.
Because there was basically no mobile phone signal in Fangjiaao, I still dialed the landline phone of the village chief's house.
It was Fang Fei who answered the phone, and when I asked her if Gao Lingkai was not there, she asked me directly: "You are looking for Gao Lingkai, why did you call my house?" ”
I was a little speechless, but I quickly improvised to do so.
"Since you said that, I have a question to ask you directly, okay?"
"Just ask, don't ask about personal matters!" She replied, feeling rather cold.
"I just want to ask you, have any unusual things happened to the people in your village, including you, since you woke up until now?"
"Unusual situation? What's going on? ”
"For example, seeing something that shouldn't be seen, and then ...... Nightmares at night or something! ”
"No! At least I don't, and I haven't heard of anyone else! Fang Fei replied, and suddenly asked me, "I heard that a female police officer you like has also been asleep for many days, since you asked like this, it won't be ...... Something strange happened to her, right? ”
I thought about it and told her the truth, "Yes!" She had nightmares all the time, and she saw some...... I don't know if it's real or fake! ”
Fang Fei didn't say anything for a while, and just when I wanted to hang up the phone, I heard her reply coldly: "I'm afraid this is ...... It's your retribution to her! ”
"Huh?" I was taken aback and blurted out to her, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"Because...... You woke us up, you shouldn't have woken us up! ”
"Why shouldn't I wake you up?" I asked.
She was silent again, as if to think about whether she should tell me or not.
I didn't dare to urge, and waited quietly for a while before she spoke again.
"You may not believe it, but the people in our village have fallen asleep more than once! According to our ancestors, every time we sleep, it is the gods who pray for us! So as long as the people in our village don't leave the village, they will not get sick for almost the rest of their lives! ”
I stayed for a moment before I asked her again, "What do you mean, I don't have to exert any effort at all, and in a few days you will wake up automatically?" ”
"Of course! As I said, it's the gods praying for us, but ...... We just don't remember anything when we wake up! But you...... I don't know where we learned some demon magic, causing us to wake up early, of course the gods will be unhappy, and the people who are with you will naturally be implicated. ”
I was even more speechless, because Meng Xiang had dreamed the day before, and there was indeed a dark shadow warning her not to be with me.
"Do you think there are gods in the world?" I asked suddenly.
"Absolutely! Don't laugh at me for being superstitious, I can be considered a person with a few years of higher education, but what happened in our village cannot be explained by modern science. Fang Fei replied. Even I think what she says is right.
