Chapter 72: A Dream That Can't Wake Up (3)

The emptiness of the dormitory building is far from the noise in reality, and the noise that can be heard when the door is closed has all disappeared without a trace, except for the wind that occasionally blows into the building from the window and touches Lin Kang's eardrums continuously.

Lin Kang sat in the dormitory for a while, his thoughts changed from cluttered to clear and back to clutter, as if everything could be thought out and everything seemed to be out of the scope of being able to think clearly. Finally, when he tossed himself to the point of irritability, Lin Kang stood up and decided to go out for a walk.

The campus is still the same as in the morning, with a few people scattered and harmonious. Standing next to the dormitory building, Lin Kang's gaze inadvertently fell into the grove next to the artificial lake. Although the distance is not very far, from this position, it seems that the trees in the grove are still relatively dense, and you can only see the outermost two rows, and the inner side is tightly blocked by the trees on the outside. It's no wonder that when I didn't come to school, I heard from the senior classmates of the neighboring village that Guniu No. 9 Middle School was a "lover's forest" suitable for love, so it seems that as long as you stand two meters outside, you can't see it at all.

Lin Kangwu laughed to himself, and was just about to look away, when suddenly a touch of red flashed in from the outside of the forest, so fast that Lin Kang mistakenly thought it was his hallucination, and when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, he really couldn't find any trace, but what Lin Kang could be sure of was that it was definitely not an illusion, and he didn't believe that the person in the dream would still have a hallucination.

A strong intuition that struck in an instant told Lin Kang that there must be something in it, and it could be something directly related to him, thinking so, Lin Kang's feet involuntarily slowly stepped away and walked in the direction of the grove.

Different from the morning, although there were duplicitous "friends" around him in the morning, Lin Kang didn't feel anything wrong at first, but at this time, as Lin Kang got closer and closer to the grove, he felt that the air around him was getting cooler and colder, and there was no residual heat of summer at all, and his bare arms outside the short-sleeved clothes even began to tremble slowly, and after a cold shiver, Lin Kang had a layer of goosebumps on his body.

Walking to the side of the grove, Lin Kang was already clenching his fists, the biting cold entered his body through the skin, and the palms of his hands were already itchy due to the huge temperature difference, and the fingers that were clenched into fists pinched the flesh of the palms, but they did not alleviate the itching sensation at all.

But Lin Kang can't turn back, he has to go in, he has to find the answer he wants to know.

Lin Kang took a step with his left foot, and the place where he landed was soft, if this feeling was usually comfortable, it would definitely make people feel comfortable, but here, Lin Kang only felt that the cold hairs on his body stood upside down, as if there were thousands of ropes to pull out all the hairs on his body.

He didn't immediately look down to see what it was, but frantically searched his mind for something that would cause this sense of touch. Of course, the first thing that entered Lin Kang's imagination was cotton, the most soft item that dispelled the fear in Lin Kang's heart a little, but how could there be cotton in this forest?

Just when he was thinking wildly, the softness under his feet suddenly moved, Lin Kang's tense nerves collapsed instantly, he almost jumped back a big step, there was no cotton in his mind, and instead it was Liu Xing's body that was chopped into pulp, as if the squirming just now was Liu Xing's nerves that were not completely dead.

It's just that Lin Kang thought about everything, and when he lowered his head slightly to see the place he was stepping on just now, the muscles that were in a high degree of tension instantly relaxed, and a slight feeling of dizziness swept Lin Kang into it, and he swayed in place a few times and finally stood still.

A thick layer of leaves fell in the woods, covering the ground and turning into a withered yellow piece, and occasionally there were leaves that had rotted into blackened leaves exposed from the withered yellow, and the overall look was a sentimental mood of autumn leaves and trees. The softness just now was just the softening of the rotten branches and leaves by the wind and rain, and the wriggling was made by a mouse that had just sprung out from under the leaves.

Lin Kang patted his pounding chest, and his rapid breathing slowly calmed down.

"Isn't there anyone cleaning the leaves in your dreams?" Lin Kang frowned, brushed his thighs, which were still trembling slightly, and stepped into the woods again.

After walking in, I realized that in fact, the trees were not as dense as they seemed from a distance, but these trees were strangely slightly inclined in the same direction, and they couldn't be seen if they didn't look closely, and there was a faint smell in the air of the woods, which was completely inaudible outside the trees, and the outer layer of trees was like an impermeable barrier, and even the air was completely blocked.

Lin Kang walked in the direction of the tilt of the trees, and every step he took would make a sound of "bang", which was the sound of dead leaves being compacted by footsteps, and occasionally there would be a "rattling" sound, it should be that the rotten wood was trampled off.

The further the woods went, the trees were not so dense, but the visibility was getting lower and lower, Lin Kang raised his head and looked at the sky, the dense branches and leaves were like a huge net almost covering the entire sky, only a few bright spots were like stars in the night sky, which had no effect on the lighting.

His eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, his pupils were stretched to the maximum in the absence of light, Lin Kang could barely see the outline of the trunk, he stretched out his hand and touched the trunk and continued to walk forward one foot at a time. The leaves on the ground here seemed to be thicker, and they were softer to step on, and Lin Kang's progress became more difficult.

After I don't know how long I walked, Lin Kang's hand touched a wall suddenly, according to the touch on the wall, Lin Kang could be sure that it was a brick wall, and it seemed that because of the darkness, the wall here was very damp, and the fingers felt sticky and greasy, as if moss died on the wall and was decomposed and fermented by fungi.

"Is this the end of it?" Lin Kang seemed to be unwilling, he walked in with difficulty but didn't get any answer, and the initial intuition also disappeared imperceptibly in the groping just now.

Lin Kang...... Lin Kang ......" When Lin Kang was stunned, a faint call came into Lin Kang's ears, and it was Jiang Xiaoxue's familiar voice again, but with his previous experience, Lin Kang couldn't believe that this was Jiang Xiaoxue. He raised his head slightly, listening carefully to the source of the call.

Lin Kang...... Lin Kang ...... "The voice seemed to come from all directions, and then echoed leisurely in the woods, and it was completely impossible to find where the starting point was.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on Lin Kang's shoulder from behind, and the cold touch instantly spread from his shoulder to Lin Kang's heart......
