Chapter 144: Confession
We walked like this for about half an hour and came to a country park on the edge of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This country park is also the pride of the city. When the city was still small, it was not part of the urban area, but a wild broad-leaved forest with an area of about a few hundred square meters. With the development of modernization, the area of the city has expanded, more and more trees have been cut down, mountains have been bulldozed, and all have been turned into high-rise buildings.
At the same time, the air in the city is getting worse and worse.
However, the city where we are located is okay. The land on the outskirts of the city is at a premium, but instead of bulldozing the large area of woods, the planners at the time left them surrounded by buildings and turned them into a natural forest park in the city.
This decision, after several years of development, has been confirmed to be extremely forward-looking. Because with the increase of factory pollution and car exhaust, the air quality is decreasing, and when people's wealth is constantly accumulating, and free breathing has become a luxury, this area has become the most expensive place in the local area due to the purifying effect of trees on the air, even far beyond the city center. All wealthy people are proud to own property near this large green space.
But this place, I've only heard about it, know it exists. It's been half a year since I came to this city, and I haven't had a chance to come here.
Usually this side is quieter, because it is located on the edge of the city, housing prices are high, and the population density is relatively low. And now, at times like these, no one even goes out in the heart of the city, let alone a secluded place like a country park.
The park is open, unfenced, and not locked. The white acacia led me into a corner of the woods. In summer, the trees are lush and green, and the unique freshness of each tree species is mixed together, which is refreshing.
There are manicured paths in the woods, paved with cobblestones, and the thin soles of sandals are very comfortable. Originally, there were hanging street lamps in the woods, but now they are not lit, it is half moon in the sky, and the moonlight is still bright, and it is dappled through the branches and leaves of the trees.
After walking for about ten minutes, we stopped at the edge of a small pond in the woods.
I didn't expect that there would be such a small pond in the middle of the dense trees. The pond is not artificially built, there are no traces of carving, and there is no decorative wild smell, so the water source may come from the ground. It can be seen that this neighborhood must be inaccessible, because when we get to this area, there is no road, and we are all stepping on the grass and moving slowly.
"Why ......" I finally got a little impatient and wanted to ask her why she had brought me here. But the moment we stepped into the weeds, I froze.
Our footsteps disturbed the calm here, and in an instant, a large brilliant galaxy suddenly unfolded in front of us. The pale yellow light floats around, and although there is no temperature, it makes people feel very warm. It turned out that it was a swarm of fireflies that flew out of the wild grass because of our footsteps.
I didn't expect to see such a scene in the city, which is really amazing and moving.
"It's beautiful!" It took a long time for me to reluctantly open my mouth to break the rare peace. I don't have any problems anymore - the scene in front of me is so beautiful, and I can really feel the feeling of wanting to share beautiful things.
But, somewhat unexpectedly, Acacia did not respond to my exclamation. She whispered in that innate soft and thin voice: "Brother Shining, I seem to have had a long, long dream, that dream is terrible, and after waking up, I am terrified. However, everything in the dream was so real, as if it had really happened. Brother Shining, in that dream...... There you have it! ”
"Me?" I was taken aback, but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of concern. Her words caused me a bad premonition - a dream? She can't be a memory of what happened that night, right?
This is not a good thing for an ordinary human being.
"I dreamed that something was chasing me, and I ran as hard as I could, but I couldn't take a step. I didn't dare to look back, I felt that there was something terrible behind me, like a legendary demon and a monster. But later, Brother Shining, you appeared and saved me, and those monsters disappeared somehow when they saw you. ”
Hehuan took a deep breath and said as if he had plucked up courage: "Actually, this is a very ordinary dream, being chased by monsters and bad people, I have had such a dream since I was a child." But this time it's different...... The next day, when I woke up, I found myself lying on the floor of my house, and the door of my house had been broken by something, and the outside, it had become ...... That'......"
I froze, this was not just a dream, it was indeed some kind of memory that had been preserved in the depths of her consciousness, although it had been forcibly transformed into the form of a "dream". There are probably only two possibilities for such a situation, one is that her qualifications are different from ordinary people, and she is a special existence like me and those demon hunters in our family, and the other is that she has a strong obsession in her heart, trying to hint to herself that everything that has happened cannot be forgotten.
I'm familiar with her, but I've never felt anything different about her, so it's more likely that the second scenario is the case.
How should all this be explained to her? She should be aware of it, after all, her true memories are left in the dream, and the unexplained abnormalities in the world the next day will definitely trigger different associations.
White turned to me, but didn't ask me what I thought she should ask.
"Brother Shining," she called my name with her head bowed slightly, "I just want to say thank you to you." Thank you for saving me, every time. Everyone is scared now, but I am somehow not scared at all, probably thinking that as long as Brother Shining is here, everything will be fine. I don't think the world will be as scary as people think, so yesterday, I came here alone, and as a result, everything was peaceful and nothing happened. ”
I didn't know how to continue the conversation for a while, but this girl actually ran to such an inaccessible place alone when everyone else was a frightened bird, and it was really not ordinary.
Bai Hehuan continued: "So today I want to try, if Brother Shining is willing to come with me, then, my feeling is correct." Brother Shining's heart is not afraid of those! ”
I was a little speechless, feeling that there was something surprisingly reckless in the personality of this girl who seemed to be quite weak and introverted. I thought about it for a moment before I said, "Everyone has their own lives, and it's good to be able to see something, but you should also be careful in normal times, and there is no need to take risks for some meaningless things." ”
Hehuan suddenly raised his voice a little and said, "This is not a meaningless thing, I came to you today just to say ...... to you"
Her voice suddenly dimmed, the light was very dim, I couldn't see her expression clearly, I could only see a little firefly flying around us, it didn't look like we were in the world.
"I like you......" she said softly in a barely audible voice. (To be continued.) )
