Chapter Fifty-Six: An Illusory Dream

"Achu, Achu......" someone shouted softly in the darkness.

"Who?!" Chu Yunan responded to the surroundings, and the darkness in front of him made Ah Chu unable to see any direction. Achu felt that the voice was both familiar and unfamiliar. It seems that I feel like I have been to this place before, and I am inexplicably scared in my heart.

"Achu, Achu ...... We meet again. He was shouting again, sounding annoying.

"It's you again!" Chu Yunan scolded impatiently towards the darkness, the surroundings were pitch black, and Ah Chu felt that the darkness was about to crash into his eyes.

Darkness, Achu descended on this place again, Achu remembered, last time he fell into this place inexplicably, and it turned out to be a dream after a big circle, maybe this time it was also a dream, maybe the person who called Achu's name was that guy again. The guy who looks exactly like Ah Chu also speaks strangely, yin and yang.

Achu is especially afraid of the dark, like an endless nightmare, lonely and helpless.

"Don't be afraid...... Achu, I'm here to protect you, you have to trust me. The man hid in the darkness and whispered, and the sound of footsteps spread in the darkness, slowly coming from all around.

"I don't want you to protect me, I don't need ........." Achu softly rejected the kindness of the other self, holding his knees with both hands.

Achu sat on the ground, curled up, looking lonely, like a poor little beggar with no one to give, facing the cold wind alone on the corner of the street. She had the same fate as the little match girl, who stood in the cold streets on a cold winter night with a pile of matches in her hand, waiting for the crowd to come and buy her matches.

A match could emit a dim glow and a faint flame, at least she still had the candlelight on the match. Where there is fire, there is light, and where there is light, there is hope. But the little girl who sold matches didn't dare to waste matches on herself, even one, because the final owner of these matches belonged to the seller, and she wanted to use the money from the sale of matches to soak in a hot bath, that's all.

But Achu is not a little girl who sells matches, there is not a match on her body, there is no flame, and there is no light without a flame. Without light in the darkness, there is no hope.

"You're not alone, you shouldn't be abandoned, you still have me." Someone was sitting next to Achu, and at this time there was a spotlight shining on them in the darkness. The man stroked Achu's hair, like an older brother comforting his younger brother.

Achu raised his head and looked at the monster that looked exactly like himself, it was simply a guy carved out of a mold. The first time I had close contact with myself, it felt very strange. Looking at that familiar appearance, looking at the way I looked, after a long time, I would also feel that that appearance was very strange and strange.

"Don't be afraid...... Achu, I will protect you. He smiled and spoke softly, "I am the light, and you stay by my side so that you will not be afraid of the dark." ”

"Who the hell are you? Why are you so nice to me? Achu looked at him, he never wanted to believe that the protective desire for no reason would appear around him, not to mention that he was still a person who looked exactly like himself.

He touched Chu Yunan's hair, his eyes revealed a trace of affinity, and he smiled and told Ah Chu, "Hahaha silly child, I am you, I have already told you last time, I am another self who follows your inner thoughts, I will always protect you, ......forever ...... forever"

He spoke so softly, seducing Achu little by little, Chu Yunan didn't know why, he felt that he could open his heart and communicate with him.

"Am I going to be timid forever?" Achu asked him, this question is ridiculous, like asking the other party will you continue to be timid?

"No, it won't." He shook his head, and he told Achu, "No, you won't be cowardly, I'm here...... You're going to be incredibly powerful. ”

In the dark place, in the area where the spotlights shine, the two boys sit and chat together, and the atmosphere is very calm, this darkness is like their secret space, only the two of them know.

Chu Yunan smiled, "How is it possible, how can I become strong, I don't believe it myself." "Achu has a certain grasp of his own strength, because he has always been like this.

"No, you will. You will be strong, and the world will be yours, and when the time comes...... You won't be alone. He sat cross-legged, while Chu Yunan was holding his legs.

"Loneliness?" Achu spit out these two words, loneliness for himself, I really don't know how to describe it, do I feel lonely? The day grandpa left, was he lonely? If Chen Yunhan's task expires and he leaves, will he be lonely?

The word loneliness is both familiar and unfamiliar, like the big boy sitting next to him. Although he rarely appeared, he stayed by his side and never left.

"Do you need me?" He suddenly asked Achu this question.

"Huh?" Achu was a little confused, and didn't react to what he was asking.

He continued to speak gently, "I said...... Do you need me to protect you? ”

His fingers lightly touched Ah Chu's face, and the tone of his voice was so gentle that Chu Yunan didn't know how to answer for a while.

Chu Yunan didn't understand what he said, "Do you need me to protect you?" "What does this mean exactly? Is it in place of oneself? If you are replaced by him, will you become a different person? If this is the case, I may sleep forever in this never-ending darkness, and I will continue to sleep like falling to the bottom of the sea where I cannot see the light.

He smiled and told Achu, "Don't be afraid, I said it, I will follow your inner thoughts, and no matter what decision you make, I will support you." ”

Achu was a little skeptical, it was really strange that the other party didn't force himself to choose this time.

"Really?" Achu wasn't sure if he needed to be protected, and he was protected by his other inner self. It's strange to say, is this a dual personality? Or schizophrenia? Why do you have another self for no reason? Why didn't he come out before? I just came when I shouldn't have come.

"Uh-huh." He nodded slightly.

"Where are you from? Why are you in this darkness? Achu looked at him and lowered his head, feeling that it was difficult to speak.

But he was silent for a while, and the next second he touched Achu's heart with his finger, "So to speak...... I come from your heart, but I've been trapped in the dark, stuck here. If you are lonely, I will be lonely, and you are afraid...... I'll be scared, you'll be happy...... I'm happy too. ”

He continued, "But I am no longer cowardly, I am used to the endless darkness. So...... Achu, you ...... You have to be strong, I will always be behind you, always protect you. ”

Chu Yunan was a little trembling, feeling creepy all over, is this planning to make a horror movie? Why say, "I'll always be behind you?" "Is this trying to be ready to scare me?

"I'm curious, are you my doppelganger?" Achu asked him.

He shook his head, and he told Achu, "No...... I'm so much better than those four. ”

"Huh?" Achu seemed to hear something, and he smiled, "So...... Do you know my four doppelgangers? ”

But he still shook his head, "I don't know, and I don't care about your doppelganger." They can't compare to you because you are unique Achu. ”

"But I always feel like you know my doppelganger, but you don't tell me. According to you, I'm the only Achu, so you're still pretending to be me? "Achu dismantled his backstage.

He showed a seemingly smiling expression, but it was actually false, "I'm not impersonating, I'm you, just like you face the mirror, how can anyone say that you are impersonating in the mirror." ”

"Hmm...... Oh yes. Achu was still stunned and agreed with the other party's statement.

"You...... It's really too simple. He stood up and stretched out his hand to Chu Yunan, "I'll take you to another world." ”

Chu Yunan grabbed his hand, his hand was so cold, after all, it was terrible to stay alone in the dark without temperature. When the Qingming Festival arrives next year, burn a little sun for yourself.

"Where are we going?" Achu looked at him, at a boy as tall as himself, and he found that he was too far behind him. One is so naΓ―ve, the other is so mature.

He spread his hand and faced the endless darkness, and he told Achu, "One...... Similar to the real world. ”

Achu was a little confused, not knowing what he was going to do.

It was pitch black all around, and suddenly there was a sound of vibration, and the darkness under the soles of my feet cracked inexplicably and fell like scattered black fragments. Flying from below were wooden planks with cartoon images of the floor, especially like the floor in one's own room. Achu looked at everything around him, the flying tables, the beds, and even some of the gundams and building blocks in his room.

It's like an origami object, all put together in a very strange way, and in the dark darkness, the space presented is your own room. Achu didn't expect to see his room in such a place. People often say that the representative of the subconscious mind is a fantasy thing on weekdays, do you like to dream about sleeping on weekdays?

"Familiar?" He looked at Ah Chu, and he didn't know what trick the other party had used to poke out such a big basket.

"This ...... Isn't this my room? Chu Yunan looked around, his room was very familiar, the things on the desk, the first Gundam that belonged to him, and the Lego bricks that he had built for a month.

"Is this your room? I don't think so. He told Ah Chu with a serious face, Chu Yunan felt very strange, and continued to listen to his nonsense, "This is just another world, here, although there is the same room as you, it is not your real room." ”

"Same room?" Achu was full of doubts, he slowly approached the bed, he didn't notice just now, Achu found himself lying on the bed sleeping, like a fake self, exactly the same sleeping position, Achu felt very strange, there were three people together, one was sleeping, one was beside him, and one was himself.

Who is the real Achu in the end?

"It's so similar, I can even learn to grind my teeth when I sleep." Chu Yunan touched that person's face, and suddenly found that when he slept, he still maintained his declining appearance, "I thought I was dead......

He put his hands in his pockets, and he smiled, "If you die, then I don't exist anymore, go back to that really dark place." ”

Ah Chu ignored his self-talk, he still looked around, all of this was the world created by "him", including Ah Chu sleeping on the bed, it seems that this ethical relationship is a bit complicated. Did my mother give birth to triplets? I am my mother's only pet, and the others are wild flowers and weeds.

At this time, Chen Yunhan opened the door and walked into the bedroom, and Achu subconsciously hid behind the stool.

"Don't worry, she can't see you, and here she was created too." He leaned against the table, and he was really as powerful as the creator.

"Really?" Achu tried to touch Chen Yunhan and tried to pull her hair, but he didn't expect his hair to pass through directly, "It's so strange...... If it was true, then she would have punched me a long time ago. ”

"What's so strange about this, people from different worlds, of course can't touch it, because you don't have their world at all." He explained to Achu.

"Different worlds? Different people? Achu never understood his words.

Chen Yunhan first kindly asked Achu to get up, but he didn't respond for a long time, and finally simply picked up the heavy pillow and smashed it on Achu's face, and the suffocating operation looked very painful.

"Hey, still sleeping? Hurry up and don't go back to sleep. Chen Yunhan sat at the head of the bed, she lifted the quilt, and fortunately, Achu wore a pair of cow shorts to sleep.

Achu looked at himself on the side, and he was a little puzzled, "This Chen Yunhan is so strange, she usually doesn't wake me up." What's more, she didn't dare to lift my quilt, hahahaha. ”

"Of course, because she is not Chen Yunhan at all, it's just an illusion created by me." He told Achu.

"Then why did you bring me here?" Chu Yunan asked.

He smiled, "If, if you live here, Achu lying on the bed will disappear, and you will replace him, then I ...... In your place. And you're living here carefree, isn't it? Being woken up every day by the girl you like, why not. ”

"What?" Achu didn't hear what he was saying, and he didn't understand the meaning exactly.

"Who says I like her? Don't talk nonsense. Achu retorted to him, with a preface that did not match the afterword, and was full of nonsense.

He was like a smiling tiger, "You said you didn't like her?" Then why did you take her to an amusement park? Is it just to make her happy? And then forgive you? You can't be so stupid, right? Hahahahaha"

"Are you laughing at yourself?" Achu puffed up his chest and told him, "We're just pure friends, it's none of your business that I take my friends to the amusement park to play." ”

He sat in the back chair with his legs on the table, "Hmm...... It's just a friend, it's not worth your effort to please. Unless you really like her, as I said, I'm your inner alter and I know what you're thinking. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Achu was a little speechless, "Excuse me, if you have a fart, hurry up and finish!" I still have to go to school. ”

"Don't worry, it's still early, it's a big deal to skip breakfast." He put his hands on the back of his head and asked Achu unhurriedly, "Are you really planning to join the Daybreak Organization?" Do you think you have a future when you join Daybreak? Come on, the future doesn't mean that there is, why leave the future to them to control, and you're not their marionette, so why bother. ”

The other party took off his disguise, not as gentle as before.

"Cut, neurosis, you." Achu was speechless, "Whether I want to join or not is my own business, and I don't need you to teach me here." ”

Achu stood up, dropped a sentence and walked to the door.

"Alas...... Well, you said this yourself, then I can't help it. It's your own business whether you join or not, and I can't pull you. He looked up to the sky and sighed, as if to put it mildly, "But...... You'd better think clearly, if you mess up your future, there will be no prodigal son to look back. ”

He continued, "Get out of the room and everything goes back to the way it was. ”

Achu looked at him always with himself as the center, and never understood his words, "Cut, a neurotic one." ”

Achu opened the door, and everything disappeared, the outside was dark, and the things in the room seemed to disappear into pieces one by one. Ah Chu lying on the bed, as well as Chen Yunhan, are like bubbles, and those who should disappear will also disappear. The floor cracked, turning into pieces of a broken puzzle and falling into the darkness of the endless abyss.

He also disappeared with what he had created, as if it had never appeared.

……

"Silly melon, get up, if you don't get up, I'll throw all your toys out." Chen Yunhan woke up Achu on the side, that guy slept like a pig and died, no matter how he screamed, he couldn't wake up.

"Damn, it's like a dead pig." Chen Yunhan clenched his fists, "I really want to break his dream." ”

She picked up a funny smiley pillow and slammed it down on Achu's face, "Get up!" Silly melon! She still didn't feel hard enough, and kept slamming him in the face.

"What's the noise? What's the noise on the big weekend? Achu muttered to himself, Chen Yunhan couldn't understand what he was shouting nonsense.

"You big head ghost on the weekend, if you don't get up, we'll be late, and if you're late, we'll be punished, so you'll punish me for cleaning?" Chen Yunhan was holding a funny smile pillow and was about to smash it down, when the guy suddenly woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, it was really terrible to be woken up by this kind of guy.

"It's annoying, it's noisy to death early in the morning." He didn't seem to open his eyes yet, but his lips trembled slightly, "You go out quickly, I still have to change my clothes." ”

"Oh."

Chen Yunhan walked out of the bedroom and closed the door casually.

If she remembered correctly, it was Monday, the 26th, which meant that there was not much time left for the Sparrow Project. Forty percent relied on oneself to persuade him, and another sixty percent resigned himself to fate.
