Chapter 1 Crossing is the driving force

Next Chapter

In a person's life, sleep time accounts for one-third of it, and if it is calculated according to the life span of 100 years, then the sleep time will account for more than 30 years......

In these 30 long years, we may encounter many strange dreams, including nightmares.

Nightmares, scientifically explained as dreams with horrific content, are sleep disorders that cause anxiety and fear as the main manifestation - more common in children.

Nightmares are triggered by a variety of factors, but generally manifest as psychological and physical.

According to science, nightmares have nothing to do with good luck and bad luck, they are just a few images formed in the human subconscious, and do not represent any meaning.

You may have had the same dream for days on end, but you have never tried to have the same dream, a horrible dream, for months on end......

It all started when I was twenty years old, and every night after that day I had a strange, horrible dream......

I dreamed that I was trapped in a snake nest, and around me were countless dense snakes, some only the thickness of a little finger, but some as thick as an arm, some with oval heads and non-venomous, but some of them were highly venomous snakes in the shape of a trilogy......

Looking at those cold eyes staring at me, swishing and spitting snake letters, I don't think you would ever wonder what it was like.

Creeps!

I ran like crazy, and I ran and ran, and I don't remember how far I went.

It wasn't until I noticed that there were no snakes chasing after me, and when I tried to stop, I realized that my legs didn't seem to obey me, and I still ran forward mechanically until I woke up the next day.

Seriously, I'm really going crazy!

Maybe you will say it's just a nightmare, wouldn't it be nice to get used to it?

So let me tell you, sometimes after I wake up from a nightmare the next day, I will find red and swollen patches all over my arms, and beyond that, I have indescribable soreness all over my body, especially my legs.

Do you know what I mean?

I don't think this can be explained by science......

Hmm, you ask what I'm doing now?

Well, I'm flipping through "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" - pinning my hopes on this thing, I think I'm crazy!

Whew! I've been scratching for so long, and I haven't introduced myself yet, sorry, sorry.

My name is Jiang Zhe, and I am ......

What?

Uh, sorry, I don't remember my nickname......

What crossing?

Dude, do you mean that a character travels from time and space to another time and space for some reason? Heh, there are quite a lot of novels of this kind...... No, no, no, I definitely don't mean to make fun of it, I want to say, I like to watch it too......

What? The House of the Three Kingdoms Travels the World?

I don't remember this book...... No, no, no, I see what you mean, maybe it's the same name, the same name!

Well, without further ado, I ...... Where did I go?

Gotta get it, all in all, the dream was very weird, and I'm looking for a solution, above!

------------------------------

In the early morning of January 17, 2009, in an ordinary house in a certain area of Hangzhou, the hero of this article was asleep in bed......

Voiceover: What? You said we came all the way to see him sleep?

Feel relieved!

One, two, three...... Awake!

"Ahh

With a muffled snort, the boy who was lying on the bed suddenly turned over and sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and let out a long sigh of relief with his head propped up.

"......" reached out and turned on the light switch, Jiang Zhe sat up straight, his eyes couldn't help but look at his arm that was faintly painful - above the arm, there were several red and swollen patches similar to insect bites - which were not there last night.

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Zhe lifted the quilt and got up and walked to the window.

The sky was still cloudy, and the morning light at dawn was imprinted on Jiang Zhe's face, making his originally somewhat pale face look a little ruddy.

Ever since he had this strange dream, he would wake up at this time almost every day, and it can be said that every second is not bad.

"Bell bell ......" The cell phone at the bedside rang.

Jiang Zhe frowned, walked over and picked up the phone, it was Wang Liang calling.

Wang Liang is one of Jiang Zhe's few friends, cheerful, funny, and flowery, just like his mantra "Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes", he is a very righteous guy, but this guy has a very poor reputation in school.

But the strange thing is that there are still a lot of girls around him, and our classmate Jiang ...... Forget it, it's still not a hit.

"Hehe, Brother Jiang, it's time to get up and pee ......" Before he finished speaking, the phone was cut off by Jiang Zhe.

Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Jiang Zhe shook his head speechlessly, waiting for it to ring again.

"I said Brother Jiang, you don't have to react so much, right? Dude is a foreign number, six cents a minute......

"Can't you make some tricks? Every time it's like this, you can't get tired of playing?"

"Dude, I care about you......" Wang Liang's playful laughter came from the phone.

"Okay," Jiang Zhe sat on the edge of the bed angrily and asked in a low voice, "I'll entrust you with that...... Do you have eyebrows?"

"Don't don't, Brother Jiang, don't talk in such a low tone about big things......? I asked about you, but ......"

"What?" Jiang Zhe's face showed a bit of solemnity.

"It's not an important thing, you know, my uncle has always talked a lot, I just asked, he Rory is a lot of ramblings, and it's all nonsense, anyway, I can't finish talking about this matter on the phone for a while, thinking about my buddy's phone bill...... On the weekend, a few brothers got together and said to their faces, "Is it okay?"

"Okay!" Jiang Zhe hung up the phone helplessly, and when he was disturbing the phone in the middle of the night, why didn't he see you distressed about the phone bill?

But having said that, Jiang Zhe still accepted that guy's affection, after all, no matter what, he was one of his few, but very iron buddies.

-----------------------------

Because it was Saturday, there were a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets, and the roads were congested more than usual.

There were students walking in pairs, white-collar workers waiting for cars on the side of the road, and old men and women walking around with their dogs, who walked past Jiang Zhe from time to time.

The so-called passerby means this.

I remember that when he was sensible, Jiang Zhe began to think about a question.

What is the meaning of life?

Jiang Zhe still hasn't figured it out -- or rather, he hasn't found his own purpose in life.

Is a person's life like a baby being born at birth, growing up to be sincere, getting married, having children, and spending his old age in peace?

Can just a dozen words sum up the whole of life?

Isn't that too tedious?

I remember when I was a child, Jiang Zhe once fantasized that somewhere in this world, there were wizards flying from the sky on brooms, whether there were sinister and cunning werewolves, and whether there were vampires who sucked blood, but when he grew up, he realized that in this era of science, wizards, werewolves, and vampires do exist, but only in movies.

In reality, there is no Spider-Man, no Iron Man, and no Wolverine.

"With great power comes great responsibility. When I first heard this sentence, my heart seemed to be touched, but when I calmed down, I realized that it was just a line from a movie - the script of a movie, like a novel, is for the public to see, and cannot be used as a basis for life.

People in the world are generally divided into two categories, and this certainly does not refer to the superficial answer of men and women.

One kind of person sees the world clearly and is content with the destiny of heaven, in other words, he accepts his fate, while the other kind of person still thinks about some strange things...... Of the latter, most end up in various churches and worship their faith, and a small number end up in mentalhospitals...... That is, a mental hospital, well, it's miserable!

Obviously, Jiang Zhe does not belong to the former, but he also does not belong to the latter, he is neither.

As a young man of the twenty-first century, he has become accustomed to seeing everything from a scientific point of view, but at the same time, he subconsciously denies the answer - or he does not want to accept it.

For no other reason, he just felt too boring—the world was too conventional, too boring, too boring.

A few friends once kindly teased Jiang Zhe for being an otaku: always fantasizing about some unrealistic things and being lazy......

Actually, laziness is just because of a lack of interest!

Jiang Zhe could spend a day flipping through fantasy and science fiction novels on his computer, but he couldn't muster the interest to write his graduation thesis, even if he understood that it was related to his future future.

Some scholars have mentioned that the universe is composed of infinite space and time, and in each space of relative time, the evolution of civilization is likely to be different: some are evolving towards technological civilization, some are evolving towards mechanical civilization, some are evolving towards biological civilization, and so on, and in countless spaces, there may be a magical world - of course, this is just a conjecture, and there is no scientific basis.

But Jiang Zhe agrees with this point of view, after all, there are still too few human beings who know the universe......

Maybe there really is magic in some world!

"Huh?"

As he walked, Jiang Zhe suddenly saw three foreigners standing on the street not far away, and when he looked closer, he realized that they were three missionaries, who were explaining their teachings to passers-by.

Truth be told, very few people actually listened to their teachings, and most of them just passed by, and even if they stopped out of curiosity, they were just onlookers.

This disappointed the three missionaries.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Zhe walked over, and he saw one of the missionaries holding a cross pendant in his hand, looked at the crowd of onlookers, shook his head, turned his head and said a few words to his companions, probably to go back to church.

It seemed that he was standing too far forward, so that a missionary misunderstood, and he said to Jiang Zhe in extremely stiff Mandarin, "I bless you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and the child, ......."

"Uh, thank you. Looking at the crowd around him awkwardly, Jiang Zhe thanked him.

At this time, two of the missionary's companions said something in English, and the missionary nodded, turned to look at Jiang Zhe, and asked in stiff Mandarin, "Is there anything I can help you with, child?"

"Uh," subconsciously was about to shake his head, Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered his dream, and said hesitantly, "Father, I've been having a strange dream recently......

"Dream?" the missionary squinted, as if feeling a little funny, shook his head and was about to leave, but heard Jiang Zhe add, "In the last few months, I have been repeating the dream until I was bitten by a snake......

"What, by what?" the missionary said in Mandarin with English, which seemed a little nondescript.

"snake!" A girl watching next to her relieved Jiang Zhe.

"Snake?" The missionary was stunned, his face was a little surprised, and he was about to say something, when his two companions began to urge, he hesitated, and said apologetically to Jiang Zhe, "Sorry, my child, we are leaving, if you have any doubts, you can go to the church not far away, I will ...... there" As he spoke, he gave the cross pendant in his hand to Jiang Zhe.

Looking at the three missionaries gradually walking away, and then looking at the crowd around them, looking at the funny looks on their faces, Jiang Zhe left very embarrassed.

It's really a rush to the doctor...... Jiang Zhe wanted to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible.

But as he walked, he suddenly stopped, and he clearly felt a faint tingling pain from his right hand holding the cross......

What's going on?

Jiang Zhe raised his right hand, only to find that the silver-plated surface of the cross had gradually begun to fall off, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of ashes, while the palm of his right hand became red, and then slowly returned to his usual complexion.

"......" Jiang Zhe rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe it: What is this?

------------------------------

Out of uneasiness, Jiang Zhe finally went to the church, and it was the missionary who had just spoken to him who received him.

Unlike Jiang Zhe, who was preoccupied, the missionary seemed very happy to see Jiang Zhe, "It's a pleasure to see you again, my child, is there anything I can do to help you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, pointed at Jiang Zhe and said, "I remember, you dreamed of being bitten by a snake, didn't you?"

Jiang Zhe nodded and added, "A lot of snakes!"

The missionary was stunned and said to Jiang Zhe, "Please don't worry, my child, the Bible will show us the way......" As he spoke, he walked towards the place where the Bible was placed in the center of the church.

Looking at the priest who was flipping through the Bible not far away, Jiang Zhe looked around curiously at the murals on the walls around the church, and suddenly, his eyes stayed on a mural, where a creature resembling a bear was depicted, which seemed to be sleeping, and above it, an angel holding a divine spear was drawn.

"What is this, Father?" Jiang Zhe asked suspiciously.

The priest, who was flipping through the Bible, looked up and said with a smile, "This is God's warning to us that I love our world and cannot be la......zy."

"Huh?" Jiang Zhe was a little happy, shook his head and was about to leave, when suddenly a very strange throbbing flashed in his heart, and his legs involuntarily walked towards the painting.

"This is ......," muttered, Jiang Zhe slowly raised his hand and stroked the portrait according to the call in his heart......

"Aha, snake!" the priest who flipped through the Bible seemed to have found what he was looking for, and when he looked up, his face was full of doubt.

"Kid, kid?"

I saw that in the empty church, where was Jiang Zhe's figure.

"Gone?" the priest wondered, and suddenly he heard a strange noise.

"Click, click......"

"Oh my God......" The priest looked at the source of the voice, and his face was full of shock, and he saw a mural on the wall, which was gradually cracking.

"Sloth......"

ps: It is customary to use words such as 'once upon a time', 'obviously', 'seemingly', 'for a while', etc......
