Chapter 70. dream
Fall, fall, fall......
Zhou Jinru's body has always been in a state of weightlessness that continues to fall, and he can't even control himself.
"Am I dreaming?"
His mind was thinking, but he couldn't speak, he couldn't move.
"Olivia ......"
"Olivia ......"
"Olivia, do you understand that you were wrong now?"
There was a roar in his ears, and Zhou Jinru found that he could move, he held on to the wall with one hand and covered his head with the other, trying to restore the ability to think in his blank mind.
"Take care of her, you know, Olivia."
He opened his eyes and found himself standing in an abandoned office, littered with clutter, a rotten desk missing a corner, and cobwebs and dust as far as the eye could see.
Zhou Jinru looked at the unfamiliar environment around him vigilantly, he raised his hand and found that his right hand was still bandaged with gauze, why did he suddenly arrive at this place?
There were also a few "Olivia" echoing in his ears, it was a woman's low, sad voice, lingering in the office, and after he opened his eyes, it dissipated without a trace.
"Olivia is Hemer, so the phrase take care of her, does that sentence refer to the white-faced owl or Ifrit? The person speaking should be...... Serea? ”
Zhou Jinru was stunned, could it be that the silver fox secretly did something to get him here, in order to find Sereya's family of four?
He picked up the rusty iron bar that had fallen to the ground, and it seemed that it was a hanger long ago?
Slowly picking away the entangled cobwebs, Zhou Jinru took advantage of a little light outside, he saw a portrait of a woman, deeply embedded in the wall, the side of the frame rubbed smoothly, it seems that someone often stands here and looks at the portrait quietly, looking at it all day.
"Olivia Hemmer, she's a good research scholar, a perfect friend, a qualified family member, my ......"
The last few words were crossed out, and Zhou Jinru couldn't distinguish them, his eyes stared at the few numbers under the portrait, marking her year of birth and death.
When he saw this, he instantly realized that this was not his world, because the silver fox had been secretly protecting the four members of Serea's family, and they were all still alive.
"Am I already in Vina's dream? She actually had this kind of dream, no wonder she couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion, if it were me, I would have gone crazy a long time ago. ”
Zhou Jinru held the rusty hanger, walked to the door of the office, fiddled with it a few times, poked open the door that had long been rotten, and a remnant sun hung on his body, even if he was wearing a thick coat, he still couldn't feel the warmth.
It was a ruined city, an abandoned city, and the devastation touched his heart deeply, the cold wind wandered between the crooked buildings, the whining sound sounded terrible, and the empty streets could be heard far and wide.
He stood in place, looking into the distance, and vaguely saw a trace of fireworks, and his heart suddenly moved, where there are fireworks, there are living people, and he may look for the situation to see.
"People are social animals, this is true, I am not the second disease in the group, it is good to post a person in the dynamics, and then find a barrage website to watch videos, and find someone to brag in the chat group."
For some reason, he stood inside, feeling a glimmer of freedom from his body and mind.
He carried the rusty hanger, wiped a little black ash on his face, climbed down from the stairs, and stood on the ground, the biting chill was unbearable, they came in through the cracks in his clothes, consuming his heat, and it was obvious that it was now an environment where water was dripping into ice.
"Since I'm in Vina's dream, where is Vina now?"
Zhou Jinru glanced at the direction of the fireworks, leaned against the wall, carefully alerted to every corner, and from time to time unfolded his talent to check if there was an emotional source nearby, but all his caution was in vain, at least he passed through this area, not only was there no one, not even a living thing.
"What's the situation, I'm in a post-apocalyptic era?"
His brows became deeper and deeper, wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and said that Vena's dreams were too outrageous, thinking about something bad, but thinking about such a terrible thing, and when she woke up from the dream, she must give her a good psychological counseling, thinking nonsense all day long.
This happened in the years when he was in college, and there were always roommates who were worried, afraid of this and that, and then it turned out that they were all idle, and they were pulled to the toilet, oh no, it was the summoner canyon who beat it and it would be fine.
After a while, he came to the vicinity of the smoke, and was speechless in shock, it turned out that it was not a firework at all, but a huge gas outlet, and a rolling heat wave gushed out from the mouth of the pipe!
There is no doubt that this is a man-made creation, and it is still working faithfully, indicating that there must be settlements nearby!
"Does Victoria have something like that? Vena had such a delicate thing in her dream, what had she been through this year? ”
Zhou Jinru thought as he used his talent to find out if there was anyone alive who could communicate, and a few minutes later, he stood in front of a demolished building, threw away the rusty hanger in his hand, and slowly raised his hands.
Because there are four drone batteries that lock on to him!
"Who are you?"
There was a muffled sound coming from one of the drones, it was a man's voice, not an electronic synthesizer, a real living person.
What should be shouted at this time?
Polite greetings?
Pleading for help?
Neither.
He immediately threw himself on the ground and screamed, "Help! Help me! Help me! ”
There is nothing more touching than these three words, especially in such an environment, where everyone is so precious and a person who cries out for help.
"Hmph, it's another fugitive, it's good luck."
A disdainful voice came from the drone.
Zhou Jinru fell to the ground, knowing that the other party had agreed with his explanation and labeled him as a "fugitive".
For nearly ten minutes, five heavily wrapped armed men appeared in front of him and aimed at him with various weapons.
"Turn around!"
One of them shouted in a low voice.
Zhou Jinru followed his advice, turned around, and immediately a cloth bag was put on his head, blindfolding.
The left and right arms were firmly grasped, Zhou Jinru was dragged forward, and after a while, he felt that he was being taken into the elevator, constantly descending, and the emotions of the five people around him basically did not fluctuate, they seemed to be used to the so-called "fugitives".
I don't know how long it has been, he was pushed, the cloth bag was pulled off, and his vision gradually recovered.
Zhou Jinru looked around, it seemed to be a disinfection room, he had seen similar facilities outside St. Martin.
Sure enough, a minute later, he walked out of the disinfection room, exuding a pungent smell all over his body, and he was greeted by several powerful staff, and when the two leading people saw him, they had a business smile on their faces, like salesmen.
"Name."
"Ah Guang."
"It doesn't matter if the code name is there, Ah Guang's name is really good."
One staff member looked at him with a non-smiling smile, and another reached for his shoulder.
"In our refuge center, as long as you work hard, you can eat, Brother Aguang, I see that you are strong and strong, you must be very capable, right?"
Evacuation centers.
Zhou Jinru silently wrote down the name, and he guessed right, this is indeed a refuge, which accommodates a lot of people, and it is also a time when there is a shortage of labor.
"Source Stone Technique."
Just as he was thinking about the question, the staff member in charge of recording suddenly asked, his expression slightly glazed, as if he had heard the term for the first time.
The other party looked at the silent Zhou Jinru, made a stroke on the record board, and comforted: "Even if you don't have the source stone skill, it's not a shame, many people here don't have it, as long as you have the strength, you will definitely be able to eat." ”
Zhou Jinru nodded, his face showed a painful and unwilling expression, as if he remembered something sad, so that the staff who were advancing together would not ask anything.
"What the hell is going on, is Vena's dream so real, it's a shelter, it's a fugitive, and someone else records whether there is a source stone technique, and can her brain really process so much information?"
He wasn't sure at first whether his previous judgment was correct, maybe it wasn't Vina's dream, it was too real......
Several staff members sent him to a makeshift dwelling, a bunk with a cushioned floor, and it was still working hours, so there was no one in the house.
"Brother Aguang, your situation will be further reviewed, and strive to pass as soon as possible, and you will be assigned to a job, before that, you can go to the canteen to eat with this temporary ID card, of course, the treatment is definitely not as good as those who have already obtained a job, be considerate, the resources in the shelter are limited."
After saying this, several staff members left, Zhou Jinru pinched the magnetic card, sat on the mattress alone, his fingers caressed the rough fabric, and with his eyesight he could even see the tiny fluff.
"It's not a dream, a person's dream doesn't appear with such a delicate object, I ......"
He looked at his hands, his fingers gradually becoming illusory, and he knew in his heart that it was time to wake up.
The whole person was buried deep in the water, and he felt himself sink until he opened his eyes again, and his fingers touched the soft and warm body, and he knew that he had returned.
Turning her head, Vina opened her eyes and looked at him quietly.
Zhou Jinru wiped his face, his spirit couldn't hide his exhaustion, he didn't feel asleep at all, but experienced a bad adventure.
"What's wrong with you, Doctor?"
"Had a dream, a bad dream."
He looked down at his left hand, there was no magnetic card, nothing, it was just a dream after all.
Hearing Zhou Jinru say that it was a dream, Vina was a little nervous and asked, "What dream?" ”
"I went to a very desolate place, saw a huge gas outlet, and some Rausch refuge, and finally woke up after getting my identification."
"How so?"
Vena muttered, and she immediately got out of bed, put on her clothes, and ran outside.
Zhou Jinru next to her grabbed her arm: "Where are you going in the middle of the night?" ”
"Doctor, we can't sleep together, we have to be apart!"
"Calm down!"
"I can't calm down!"
Vina turned her face, her originally calm face gradually occupied by fear, her lips trembling, "I will kill you." ”
"Maybe it's not your reason? We're back to Rhode Island, and Dr. Kelsey definitely has a way! ”
"I can't go!"
Vena roared, she pushed Zhou Jinru's body hard, opened the door and ran outside.
Zhou Jinru stood at the door, looking at the direction in which she disappeared, and sighed helplessly.
"Quarrelsome?"
The silver fox watched him faintly from the side.
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "No, except for a little accident, you can't believe it, I just entered her nightmare, it is indeed a nightmare, a terrible nightmare." ”
"Oh, tell me about it?"
Silver Fox raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Jinru asked rhetorically, "You don't sleep anymore?" ”
"I can't sleep alone."
Zhou Jinru pulled a pillow from the bed: "I'll lend you another one?" ”
The silver fox snorted: "That's also my pillow, you eat all my things, you are fierce to me, and you want me to warm the bed, am I raising a little white face or an uncle?" ”
"Huh."
Zhou Jinru walked up to the silver fox and reached out to pinch her chin: "Little white face is still an uncle, don't you just like me who is so despicable and shameless?" ”
Syllable.
Slapping away the man's paws, the silver fox stepped on the cold floor barefoot, and said angrily: "Come here, I'll test your spirit, you are really not suitable for this style." ”
"Thank you."
Zhou Jinru followed behind the silver fox in his clothes, he recalled everything that happened before, unlike waking up after dreaming and gradually losing the memory of the dream, he clearly remembered every picture, every detail, and the real method experienced another crossing.
After tossing for nearly two hours, Zhou Jinru was bored with a black signature pen, lying on the bed looking at the silver fox recording data, and asked, "Is there a problem?" ”
"Yes, you have a very serious mental problem, and you are dying, late, and you are not saved."
"That's fine."
Since there is no problem with his spirit, it is that there is a problem on Vena's side, but why have I slept with her for so many days, only today has a problem?
The silver fox rolled his eyes: "How do I know, why don't you get the little lion back and try to sleep with her again?" ”
"There's no need, this kind of thing that can't find a reason for it, let's leave it to a professional to deal with."
Zhou Jinru turned over and got out of bed, took out his notebook, and took notes seriously, the pen kept sliding, and soon a page was full.
"You go and rest, I'll go back when I'm done, don't worry, I know what to expect."
"Who's worried about you."
Peal pedal, pedal, pedal.
It was the sound of the silver fox pulling her slippers, and she hurried downstairs, leaving Zhou Jinru alone to sit in front of the desk and write.
After a long time, he wrote three words on a blank piece of paper, then drew a stroke, circled it, and put a question mark.
Collector?
At this time, the sky was hazy, and the neon lights of Saint-Martin's night gradually dimmed, and the golden sunlight shone on his face, dispelling the last bit of confusion.
