Chapter 26: The Last Infected (End)
Zhou Yu figured out a lot of things, but he didn't understand why the demon and the hell watchdog were here, he seemed to love his wife and daughter very much, not like someone who thought they would go to hell.
The more critical question is, where is Baker? What now? And what exactly is the source of dreams?
The task is to send Baker home, it doesn't matter if he has a home or not, Baker has to be there; Even if you can't find Baker, you must at least find the source of the dream, otherwise the dream will never end.
The demon and the three-headed puppy didn't mean to make a move, standing not far away and looking at Zhou Yu, Charon didn't speak, waiting for Zhou Yu to speak first.
Zhou Yu was full of questions, and after picking them, he asked the most important question: "Where is Baker?" ”
"Baker is with his family." Charon still gives this answer.
"Together?" Zhou Yu frowned: "It was a farewell just now, why is it with your family now?" ”
Charon patiently explained: "He's here to say goodbye, but he'll be able to stay with his family until the ferry docks." ”
"The ship is moving?" Zhou Yu couldn't see the shore and couldn't find a reference, but he felt that the boat was stopped.
Charon shook his head: "You shouldn't be on this boat, so the boat stopped, go down, and won't continue to drive until you get down." ”
"Leave Baker and go by yourself? That's a half-tone thing to do, and when the guys in the store know about it, I'm going to be beaten. Thinking of those people in the store, Zhou Yu suddenly had high morale and said loudly: "Say, how can I bring Baker back?" Kill whom? ”
Probably suddenly feeling his fighting spirit, the three-headed puppy suddenly barked.
Charon's originally slumped body suddenly straightened, and there was a fighting intent in his eyes: "As long as you defeat me, you can control this ship and find out Baker, the demon is just here to pick up Baker, and he will not do anything with you." ”
"Pick up Beck? He's going to hell? Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and saw that the demon and the three-headed dog had retreated into the distance.
"If he thinks he should go to hell, then he will go to hell, and no one can stop him." Charon said as he bent down and reached into the deck as if he were in the water.
"Think you deserve to go to hell? What kind of psychology is this? Survivor guilt? Zhou Yu frowned, clenched his fists, and the blade popped out.
Charon straightened up and pulled out a massive weapon from the deck.
It was a small boat, small compared to the ferry, large compared to the Zhouyu, the hull of the boat could accommodate two adults to lie side by side, more than three meters long, and there was a protruding longitudinal wooden box at the bottom of the boat, inlaid with blades, extremely sharp.
Charon held a wooden handle protruding from the bow of the boat, as if he were holding a long scimitar, and on the back of the knife a small boat grew.
"It's even more exaggerated than Ah Ba's door sword." Zhou Yu involuntarily took two steps back.
Not to mention the sharp blade, even if it was only that small boat, it could easily smash him flat or fan him away.
With this "ship" weapon, Charon's fighting spirit was even stronger, as if he was suddenly ten years younger, and suddenly jumped forward in front of Zhou Yu and smashed the boat.
Zhou Yu hurriedly rolled to the side, the boat smashed the deck, Charon saw where he was rolling, lifted the boat and smashed it, Zhou Yu rolled again, he smashed it again, rolled again, and smashed it again.
Bang, bang, bang......
The loud noise was endless, and the deck was full of smashed knife marks, Zhou Yu rolled very hard, but had to roll, Charon's movements were amazingly fast, it didn't look like an old man could do it at all, he didn't give a chance to open the distance, and he didn't leave any room for counterattack.
After rolling twenty or thirty times in a row, Zhou Yu felt that even if he didn't get stoned to death like this, he would have to be exhausted to death, and he had to take risks.
He had to keep rolling to avoid the blow, which meant that he couldn't get up, and the only thing he could hit was Charon's feet, but to attack his feet, he couldn't roll to the side of the boat, but to move forward, which was very dangerous.
It's as if someone slashed at the head and didn't give way to the side, but had to go in the direction of the hilt, isn't this death?
It's a pity that this death can't be done.
"Bang!" The boat smashed into his side again, and Zhou Yu rolled away again, but this time the posture was slightly different from the previous one, and he was ready to pounce forward on his toes, which was impossible to roll, which meant that if he didn't succeed this time, he would die.
The boat was raised, and seeing the right time, Zhou Yu pounced like a leopard, swept past Charon's feet, and the blade directly cut off Charon's feet.
Charon fell, and the boat was thrown aside.
Zhou Yu didn't stop, got up and pounced on Charon again, his left hand pressed his throat horizontally, and his right hand kept hitting Charon's abdomen.
The abdomen was pierced by the sword blade more than ten times, but Charon's expression was very calm: "Okay, you win." ”
"That doesn't count." Zhou Yu pulled his left hand horizontally and cut off Charon's neck.
The lone head rolled forward, as if it had sunk into muddy water, and his body, broken foot, and boat sank with him.
When he re-emerged from the deck, Charon regained his original form, touched his neck and sighed, saying, "Why bother? Am I going to lie to you? ”
"I don't know you, who knows if you will lie to me, I have to see if you will die." Zhou Yu shrugged.
Another reason why he did this was to test whether Charon would be the source of dreams, and if so, he would be able to complete the task with a single kill; If not, he just killed a character in his dreams, and he has nothing to lose.
Now it seems that Charon shouldn't be the source of dreams, nor is it a small character he can kill, but this guy is also too weak, he comes and goes with one move, and his IQ doesn't correspond at all, what's going on?
"Why do you have to find Baker?" Charon suddenly asked, his expression calm, as if a customs officer routinely asked about the purpose of his trip.
Zhou Yu didn't know how to answer, he always felt that Charon was very suspicious, the change in personality, the way he looked at him, the way he spoke, etc.
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't speak, Charon didn't continue to ask, but instead threw out more questions: "Why do you have to take him away regardless of Baker's thoughts, and don't consider his wife and daughter?" A place where there is a family is home, and even if you forcibly take him out of here, where can you send him? ”
These questions made Zhou Yu almost jump in shock, he thought about it more than once, his thoughts were actually said by others, and "where to send" was also very weird, as if Charon knew that he was a dream hunter and knew that his mission was to send Baker home.
Looking at Charon again, he was no longer moving, turning into a lifelike wood carving, connected to the deck, his eyes still looking at Zhou Yu, and there was a hint of a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Yu felt creepy, and hurriedly moved a few steps to the side, seeing that the eyes of the wood carving did not rotate, he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over to cut the wood carving into countless pieces as if venting.
"Where's Baker?" Zhou Yu defeated Charon, but he didn't know how to control the ship, but he had a strange feeling in his heart, and with the feeling, he came to the hatch that entered the cabin.
Pulling open the hatch, there was no longer the torch-lit passage below, but a room, and the sunlight shining in through the window did not illuminate the room, which was covered in a layer of charred black.
Going down to the room, the ladder immediately disappeared, and Zhou Yu saw Baker sitting in front of the corner, and in the corner there were two women piled up of ashes, one big and one small, hugging each other tightly and hugging in the corner.
It turned out that it was the fire that caused Baker to lose his family, and he couldn't see their facial features just now, also because they were just ashes.
Zhou Yu sighed, not knowing what to say.
Baker heard this, turned around, and said with tears in his eyes: "I just came back from overtime and was so tired that I fell asleep smoking a cigarette." ”
His body was also burned extensively, one eye was burned, that is, the one covered by plants, and tears kept flowing out of the other, very cloudy.
Zhou Yu finally knew the reason for going to hell and sat down beside Baker silently.
"I'm dreaming, right?" Baker asked, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Unfortunately, the reason for your dream is probably not a dream." Zhou Yu said lightly.
Baker nodded: "I don't want to wake up, but I don't want to stay in a dream like this, if they can live in a dream......"
"Intend to evade responsibility in a sweet dream?" Zhou Yu snorted coldly: "I don't know if it's better for you to wake up and suffer physically, or it's better to stay in such a dream and suffer spiritually, it's a man who takes responsibility, if you can survive, just lie on the hospital bed and think about what to do next, I have a suggestion, people can't be resurrected after death, but you can do something for those who are still alive." ”
For those who have experienced major changes, selective amnesia is not a bad thing, but in Baker's case, amnesia is simply evading responsibility, whether he wakes up and jumps from the hospital building, or starts a new life, Zhou Yu will not regret waking him up.
"I will." Baker nodded, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome." Zhou Yu patted Baker on the shoulder.
As soon as he finished speaking, a regular triangle gap appeared in the wall, much darker than the blackened wall, and Baker did not react at all, as if he could not see the huge triangle.
"That's a sign that the mission is complete?" Zhou Yu stood up, walked to the wall and looked in carefully, whether it was with the naked eye or with [blind], his eyes could not see inside the gap.
He glanced back at Baker, and saw that Baker stared blankly at the two men heaped of ashes, as if he had forgotten his existence.
Waving his hand and screaming a few more times, Baker still didn't respond, but he was still moving, still weeping, and his face was sad.
Curious, Zhou Yu reached out to pat Baker's shoulder, but found that he could no longer touch Baker or any object, and it seemed that after the task was completed, he would no longer be able to affect the dream.
Thinking about Charon's strange behavior, Zhou Yu walked into the pitch-black gap.
