Zhou Mingrui looked at the distorted jungle-like scene in front of him, and his expression couldn't help but become vigilant.

He seems to have been suffering from a mental illness lately, which creates hallucinations that allow him to see the dark, distorted, strangely shaped forest. And in this distorted hallucinatory sky, it was also a deep darkness, and there were no stars in sight, only the blood-red moonlight shining from the moon, casting a dark color over the forest.

However, Zhou Mingrui subconsciously didn't feel a kind of unrealistic abnormality in this kind of moonlight, and he only realized that something was wrong after staring at the blood-red moonlight for a long time when he fell into a hallucination last time. After all, the moon was supposed to be white, not blood-red.

But in Zhou Mingrui's experience in the past few days, he gradually summed up his experience, this dream and reality are one-to-one, but in his eyes, some things in reality have become more treacherous and distorted scenes.

According to his diagnosis through his self-taught psychological knowledge, he believes that he may have had such hallucinations from time to time when he fell and hit his head a few days ago, or because of a concussion, which caused him to hallucinate from time to time and fall into a state of delirium.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Mingrui felt that the number of such strange hallucinations gradually decreased over time, then Zhou Mingrui would have been ready to go to a psychiatric hospital to consult a professional doctor about his problems.

He took two steps to the side, pulled a phone from his pocket, and pressed the power button, ready to explain to the friend he had made an appointment online that he would need to be late to get to the divination club they had agreed upon.

This hallucination doesn't have much impact on daily life. After all, this illusion only makes things in my distance into this horrible scene. Well, it gave me the feeling that I had crossed in on my own, which was a novel experience now that hallucinations were becoming less and less.

Zhou Mingrui thought bitterly in his heart that as a college graduate, although he had graduated, he had not yet entered the job, and he naturally had a lot of free time.

Generally speaking, whenever he falls into a hallucination, Zhou Mingrui has learned to take out his mobile phone and stand there for a few minutes waiting for the hallucination to dissipate. Of course, for coping with such an illusion, Zhou Mingrui, who now has sufficient experience, now knows that he has to stand on the side of the road and play with his mobile phone, and if he stands in the middle of the road, he will inevitably be pointed at by others.

After all, there are many people walking and playing with their mobile phones down, and there is nothing conspicuous when he stands on the side of the road. It was better than the first time he saw the hallucination, and was almost taken to the hospital by the person next to him because of a high-pitched popping sound......

However, after Zhou Mingrui pressed the switch of the mobile phone a few times, he found that the mobile phone still had no response, and when he saw this scene, he immediately frowned.

He remembers very well that he was still scanning a QR code with his mobile phone in the supermarket just now......

A few drops of sweat flowed from Zhou Mingrui's forehead, he lowered his voice, and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear:

"Could it be that my hallucinations have gotten worse again?"

"This, this shouldn't be!"

He was suddenly a little panicked, but considering that he was still on the street, Zhou Mingrui still restrained his panicked look, after all, he didn't want to be arrested and sent to a mental hospital, especially although he was able to control himself now, he still had hallucinations - so he was no different from being in prison.

However, just as Zhou Mingrui was trying to suppress his somewhat panicked emotions, a cloud of darkness seemed to melt around Klein, combining with the darkness in the distance, slowly outlining a hideous beast.

"Huh?" Zhou Mingrui, who saw this scene, was stunned, this is a situation that has never been seen before!

Shadows quickly drew on the hideous beast, as if all the details of its body were outlined in dots of black. As the details of its body became more and more, its body also added a bit of color from the original black and white.

The beast's mouth was covered with a muzzle that looked like a vicious dog, and its mouth was firmly splice together.

However, the beast also had countless black spikes or barbs growing on its body, and its body was strong, like a natural predator.

Although Zhou Mingrui didn't understand what it was, the moment he saw this beast made of darkness, he felt an irresistible fear born from the depths of his heart. This fear drove his body, causing him to hesitate for a moment before turning around and running along the path he remembered.

"Help! Kill—"

Zhou Mingrui originally wanted to shout like this.

But he still maintained the most basic sanity, just ran along the road with black shadows wriggling around him towards the depths of the forest - although reason told Zhou Mingrui that the beast running behind him was just an illusion, but his body drove him to run wildly forward, and even almost hit a few wriggling black shadows.

Zhou Mingrui and the beast ran one after another, and the sharp and thick claws almost grabbed Zhou Mingrui's back several times - maybe it had been scratched, Zhou Mingrui felt a tingling pain on his body, at this moment, this illusion was extremely close to reality.

A strange thought suddenly crossed his mind: he suddenly felt that he shouldn't be able to run away this way, it seemed a little too slow.

The next moment, Zhou Mingrui was made to laugh a little by the thoughts he had just poured out. The smile was abrupt and unrealistic, and the next moment, he forcibly restrained the urge to laugh in his heart and the constant fear that kept surging up, and continued to speed up.

The surrounding trees are getting taller, but they are also becoming more and more sparse. Soon, Zhou Mingrui saw that the twisted and strange jungle around him had changed, his eyes suddenly brightened, and a calm water surface was reflected in Zhou Mingrui's eyes.

Oops!

After Zhou Mingrui saw that the environment in front of him had become more open, such an idea came to his heart. Before, it was still difficult for him to escape from the pursuit of the dream monster behind him, and now, with no obstacles around, it may be even more difficult for him to face such a situation.

Can't run anymore - there's something wrong with this illusion!

Zhou Mingrui suddenly calmed down at this time, he turned around, endured the fear in his heart, and cautiously retreated in the face of the monster, while looking at the black monster in front of him.

Zhou Mingrui searched for anything on the ground that could be used as a weapon, such as sharp branches or playing cards.

After the latter option appeared in his mind, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but want to laugh again.

But at this moment, he heard a sudden rumbling sound from the lake behind him, and he subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from, and found that there was an unreasonable, extremely deep whirlpool near the shore.

Such a scene made Zhou Mingrui's state of mind a little calmer, because this situation was obviously impossible to appear in the real world, which also made him more sure that he was in a hallucination.

When my hallucinations are over, I must find a professional doctor to diagnose me...... I don't want to die young!

Zhou Mingrui thought to himself in his heart, he cautiously adjusted his position, watching the whirlpool become bigger and bigger. And as Zhou Mingrui stepped back, he was surprised to find that the monster composed of black shadows before was also retreating backwards, as if he also felt fear.

What scares him? Just when Zhou Mingrui felt puzzled, he saw a piece of gold emerge from the whirlpool. The gold grew more intense, and then ...... from the vortex Slowly, a young girl emerged.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Mingrui's pupils suddenly shook, his mouth couldn't help but open wide, and the fear in his heart disappeared a little because of the shocking scene in front of him. What he didn't notice was that the beast of dark shadows grew more and more cowering as the girl appeared.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with blond hair and green eyes. She was dressed in a white dress and looked at the "Dreadbeast" in the distance with a calm expression.

The next moment, Zhou Mingrui saw that the girl's pupils turned into golden vertical pupils, and a frenzied murmuring sound came out of her mouth. Only then did Zhou Mingrui feel that in such a distorted world, the glamorous-looking girl in front of him could also be regarded as a "monster".

However, unlike the fear beast, Zhou Mingrui did not feel the fear from the girl's body, he just heard the fear beast in the distance also make a slight whisper, and then his body slowly became smaller.

The girl stepped forward and pressed the dreadbeast that was almost lying on the ground with one hand, making the originally huge dreadbeast lie on the ground and unable to move.

Zhou Mingrui looked at the girl looking at him, he hesitated for a moment, and after making sure that the girl in front of him had no malicious intent, he said with some uncertainty:

"Thank you?"

The girl didn't reply to Zhou Mingrui's words, she just walked out of the water step by step and looked at Zhou Mingrui. Just when Zhou Mingrui hesitated and didn't know what to say, he heard the phone that he couldn't open before, but at this moment, it sounded a piercing ringtone.

I couldn't open it when I wanted to use you before, but now you open it at this critical time? Seeing that the girl continued to lower her head and hold down the dreadbeast, Zhou Mingrui also recognized that the person who called was [##] who had made an appointment with him to go to the divination club before, and answered the phone.

At first, there was a slight murmur coming from the phone, but soon the sound of the phone became clear. The familiar voice came into Zhou Mingrui's ears, making Zhou Mingrui suddenly feel a sense of familiarity:

“####…… Hey, hey, hey? Is there a bad signal over there? Can't I hear me clearly? ”

"Uh-huh......"

After hearing the voice of a human being, Zhou Mingrui was in a much happier mood like a tourist returning from Innsmouth: "I encountered something just now, and I didn't have time to contact you. Ah, excuse me. ”

“…… It's okay, I'm idle anyway, I'm drinking tea in the restaurant next to the club, you can come to the 'Red Maid Cafe' next to me later." ”

"Tea?" Zhou Mingrui said with some doubts, and the voice on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and coughed lightly before speaking:

"Milk tea."

Very good, very much in line with my perception of contemporary college students, no matter where they go, they hold mobile phones and drinks in their hands - Zhou Mingrui, a "contemporary college student" with a mobile phone in his hand, thinks so.

The netizen he knew was also a college student like him and had not officially entered the job. But think about it, how can a person who has officially entered the work have so much leisure to go to the divination club with him on a weekday......

After the voices of both sides were silent on the phone for a while, the voice on the other side rang again: "Okay, Lao Zhou, how long do you have to arrive?" Call me when you're almost there, and I'll order you a cup of milk tea. ”

"How embarrassing is this...... Zhou Mingrui subconsciously wanted to shirk, but after thinking about it, he still said:

"I'll take a look at the location later, I guess it will take a while to get over."

He had been running for about six or seven minutes just now, and he estimated that according to his physique, he should not be able to run too far, and he would soon be able to reach the divination club.

I really can't do it, I'll buy something to bring to Lao Gao later-by the way, I remember his surname is Gao, and I must not let him know that I have forgotten his name......

Just when Zhou Mingrui was thinking like this, the twisted and weird environment around him gradually became normal. He saw that he was now standing by the lake, and where the blonde girl was was located, it was a petite golden kitten.

The kitten was pressing a small stray dog with its paws, a scene similar to the scene where the blonde girl held down the dreadbeast.

And after seeing this scene, Zhou Mingrui subconsciously wanted to take a step forward to see what was going on. However, he stepped into the mud by the lake, and his body slid forward uncontrollably.

I don't know how to swim - Zhou Mingrui shouted in his heart, about to slide into the lake, but just as the idea came to him, he found that he suddenly "stood" steadily.

He actually stood on one foot in the mud in a posture that ordinary people couldn't do, which made him startled himself, and he quickly jumped back two steps.

He suddenly found that his body was extraordinarily light, and even his eyesight, which had been a little poor because of staying up late to study, had become extraordinarily good now.

Zhou Mingrui looked around in disbelief, and after confirming that this was reality and not his own hallucination, he sighed:

"What the hell is going on......"

While thinking, he looked at the golden gradient who was pressing the stray dog again, and suddenly noticed a metal tag hanging under the neck of the golden gradient:

"'Alice.'"
