Chapter 87: Confused

Cheshire Cat ...... What's going on?

Zhou Mingrui's pupils suddenly dilated, and he remembered clearly that the name he saw before was obviously "Alice".

Zhou Mingrui subconsciously clenched his fists, but when he clenched his fists, he found that his right hand was holding a hard-shell book. Zhou Mingrui's gaze moved to the right hand hanging beside him, and the seven big words "Alice in Wonderland", which were no different from his hallucinations, suddenly came into Zhou Mingrui's eyes, making Zhou Mingrui's pupils tremble.

Under the reflection of the sunlight, there seemed to be a slight crimson moonlight floating on these seven large characters. The grating-like flickering crimson lines made Zhou Mingrui feel like he was suddenly falling into an ice cellar.

The hallucinatory thing was brought to the real world by me? A little panic surged in Zhou Mingrui's heart, and his face became a little pale.

Zhou Mingsen, who was standing opposite Zhou Mingrui, looked at Zhou Mingrui's appearance and couldn't help frowning: "Are you sick?" ”

"I know you've just graduated and you're stressful to find a job. But don't wronged yourself outside, otherwise you will put the cart before the horse, and it will seem that you are not as good as a curly-haired baboon. ”

My brother's cold joke is still as cold as ever...... But what is a curly-haired baboon? A recent joke? Although Zhou Mingrui was confused and frightened, he didn't want his relatives to worry about him, so he just nodded and explained to his brother:

"I think we should help this kitten find its owner?"

He subconsciously began to change the subject.

Zhou Mingsen heard the implicit meaning in his brother's words: his brother didn't want to continue to discuss this matter with him, Zhou Mingsen nodded:

"After that, let's help it post a message on the Internet to find the owner, and I'll go to other places to ask if any of the cats have been lost? Of course, Zhou Mingrui has to do a good job of reviewing in the process of helping him find his master. ”

Zhou Mingsen obviously thought about it in detail: "If you really can't find its owner in the end, keep it in our house." ”

"Okay."

Zhou Mingrui's head nodded like an ostrich smashing the ground.

……

"Brother, is this the cat you picked up outside?"

Zhou Mingli stretched out her hand and gently tapped it on the kitten's forehead, and the Cheshire cat's quite cooperative body was crooked, and she began to fall to the ground and pretend to be dead. But after Zhou Mingli took out the cat strip that Zhou Mingrui bought outside before and tore it open, the kitten couldn't help but bark again.

Zhou Mingrui sat on the easy chair of his brother Zhou Mingsen on the side, watched his sister play with the kitten, and gently pressed his eyebrows, Zhou Mingli said softly, and looked up at his brother:

"Brother, why do you feel like there's something in your heart that you haven't said? You're not going to have another conflict with your brother, are you? ”

Is it so obvious? Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously said:

"I'm thinking about my recent job search - why do you think I'm at odds with Benson, no, and my brother?"

It's so dangerous, I almost leaked my mouth just now, and I almost told my sister about the hallucination I was able to see recently. This is a matter of extraordinary power, and I can't tell them until I figure it out, or it could easily put them in danger.

Who, though, is Benson?

Even though Zhou Mingrui had just graduated from school, he knew very well how dangerous an extraordinary ability that could change his physical fitness was for ordinary people. Although this extraordinary ability can make Zhou Mingrui have strength beyond mortals, it is also something that outsiders covet all the time.

This extraordinary ability is like a double-edged sword, which can easily hurt oneself, and once there is a mistake, it will put oneself and the people around oneself into a bottomless abyss.

Zhou Mingrui's other hand took out a deck of playing cards from the side, but the shaking of his fingers left many afterimages in the air, and the playing cards quickly flipped and became the suit and order he wanted.

Zhou Mingrui knew that this was something that he had never been able to do, and this was all a gift from his extraordinary ability. But when Zhou Mingrui was playing cards, Zhou Mingli, who was teasing the cat next to him, noticed the movements in his brother's hand, and said to him with some doubts:

"Zhou Mingrui, when did you learn this? I remember you used to be clumsy and your finger movements weren't so coordinated......"

Looking for this kind of thing to ask me? You're really my sister...... The corners of Zhou Mingrui's mouth twitched, and he said to Zhou Mingli in front of him: "When I was in college, I had more free time, so it was natural to practice more." ”

Zhou Mingli, who had a pair of dark eyes, suddenly realized, and said to Zhou Mingrui as if she was deliberate: "Then no wonder you have to worry about your job search now." ”

Looking at Zhou Mingli, whose eyes seemed to care for his mentally handicapped brother in front of him, the corners of Zhou Mingrui's mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed softly. It's no wonder that he thinks so, after all, Zhou Mingli's academic performance is very good, and the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry are far ahead. This made Zhou Mingrui unable to refute Zhou Mingli in terms of academic performance, after all, after a few years of college, he was "some" ignorant of high school issues.

He sighed, closed his eyes helplessly, lay down on his brother Zhou Mingsen's easy chair, and began to arrange in his mind the things he had recently encountered and the hallucinations he had seen.

First of all, I need to figure out where my power comes from; And what kind of intersection does that "hallucinatory" world have with the real world?

The warm sunlight is on Zhou Mingrui's body, but even the mild sunlight can't bring enough warmth to Zhou Mingrui. Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes, and his thoughts continued to extend in his mind:

"And 'Alice', now Cheshire Cat, after she told me the word 'Amannie', she seemed to fall into a state of irrationality again."

"Oddly enough, I never knew anything about Amanisis before this, so it's unlikely that this was my hallucination. And it was only after the investigation that I found out that this 'Amani' is a foreign clothing brand, and the name of this brand is also named after the designer of this brand's clothing, 'Amani'. ”

"Then when I was investigating the matter, I met 'Gao Wei' again, and he seemed to be a person who had the same hallucinations as me and had the same extraordinary powers as me. However, in my dreams I found that he was a false and untouchable apparition. And after I realized this, the figure of 'Gao Wei' disappeared again in reality. ”

"I originally thought that reality is reality and illusion is illusion, although I can get inexplicable extraordinary power from illusion, but the things in the illusion cannot affect reality. But after touching Gao Wei, I fell into a coma that I didn't know the time for, but certainly not too long.

"And after the coma ended, I came across the book "Alice in Wonderland", and it was at that time that 'Alice' in the outside world became a Cheshire cat."

Zhou Mingrui rubbed his eyebrows again: "So, the origin of everything is attributed to the fact that I found out that 'Gao Wei' is virtual at this point in time......

After tracing the timeline by himself, Zhou Mingrui found that the abnormality in his body came from the time when he met "Alice" in a dream, and "Alice" eliminated the beast formed by his inner fear; And the anomaly of the outside world, that is, Alice changed from "Alice" to "Cheshire Cat", and then he was able to bring out the "Alice in Wonderland" in the dream world.

And one of the things that must be avoided is, what happened to me in the short period of time I was in a coma? Or is it that I wasn't actually in a coma, but that something else happened that caused me to lose the memory of this short period of time?

So how can you bring out what you found in the "hallucination" from the "illusion"?

And why did the name "Alice" become Cheshire?

Is "Alice" really Alice? Is "hallucination" really an illusion?

If Zhou Mingrui remembers correctly, "Alice in Wonderland" is a very classic fairy tale for him, but in the "Alice in Wonderland" in his hand, why is it full of "Be careful of Alice"?

Could it be that the person who left me this book was reminding me to be careful of Alice? Watch out for that kitten?

However, not to mention that Alice's name has changed now, Zhou Mingrui remembers it clearly, that is, the "Alice" written on its badge is Alice with double quotation marks.

Zhou Mingrui recalled the plot of "Alice in Wonderland", in which he described the story of a little girl named Alice who fell down the rabbit hole.

There have been many interpretations of this fairy tale, some say that it is just a pure roaming dream story, and some people say that it is a coming-of-age story that describes the growth of the owner of the dream, "Alice", from childhood to adulthood.

Rabbit hole, Cheshire cat, Mad Hatter...... Zhou Mingrui thought about it, but he didn't think of what the person who left him this book wanted to tell him.

He let out a long sigh and took out the Alice in Wonderland from the side of his hallucination, and he held the book in his hand and was about to open it, but saw that his sister had stopped teasing the cat, but turned his head to look at himself, and looked at the book that he had opened.

Wait, there's a lot of bloody words written here that will scare the little ones! Zhou Mingrui subconsciously raised his hand to stop it, because he knew that nothing related to his hallucinations would be normal, and it would easily lead to some terrifying disasters.

However, his hand was still a step slower, and Zhou Mingli took the fairy tale book in his hand, or rather, this book is actually more like a picture book for children.

"Dude, what is this?"

After a while, Zhou Mingli's somewhat hesitant voice sounded in Zhou Mingrui's ears, listening to the question in his sister's tone, Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment:

Yes?

He didn't understand why his sister was asking such a question, wasn't this just a very ordinary book?

No, no, no, even the pages covered in blood font shouldn't look like this, right?

Zhou Mingli pursed her lips and turned over the "fairy tale book" page by page, without meaning to say anything else. Seeing his sister's appearance, Zhou Mingrui leaned his head over and said to Zhou Mingli, "Is there any problem?" I saw it outside, thought it was interesting, and took it back. ”

"Hmm...... I just didn't expect you to be so naΓ―ve now, brother, and buy this kind of fairy tale for children outside. ”

Zhou Mingli sighed, and Zhou Mingrui felt that his sister seemed to look at him with some pity and sighed deeply. Zhou Mingrui's heart suddenly sprung up with a violent sense of separation, like ...... His "sister" would not talk to him like this, and he would not make such an appearance.

He heard his sister continue: "And brother, this story, um, "Alice in Wonderland" is very interesting, is it a new book that has only recently come out? ”

Book? Book!

Zhou Mingrui's pupils twitched:

"You don't know?"

This story is such a classic that even I, a college student who is now an adult, knows how famous this story is.

But her sister, a middle school student who doesn't have a mobile phone or a computer, and the main entertainment tool can only rely on TV movies, books, and storiesβ€”how can she not know this story?

Even if you haven't read the original text - after all, Zhou Mingrui believes that most people haven't read the original text. However, Zhou Mingrui also remembered that he had seen the news about the launch of the movie adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland" before, and at this time, his sister actually told him this story, she, never, no, have heard of it?

"What's wrong with you? Zhou Mingrui? He looked up at Zhou Mingli and found that his sister was looking at him with a rather strange look:

"Look, isn't there still a time when the book was written here?"

Zhou Mingli said this to her brother, stretched out her hand to turn the book to the last page, and pointed to the letters and data written on it:

"Have you forgotten such simple common sense?"

Common sense, how can this be common sense? While there will be authors who write their own writing time in books, there is no book I've seen that has this marked in such a comical way in detail!

The end of a story is not marked on the "CIP" page of any book published in this country!

Zhou Mingrui roared in his heart, a twisted and treacherous illusion appeared in front of his eyes again, the crimson moonlight sprinkled on his face, and in his hand, the words on the book "Alice in Wonderland" slowly floated.

Zhou Mingrui stared at the pages of this book, and a little blood red once again soaked out of it.
