The next morning, six o'clock. Zhou Yudeng walked across the wooden floor, opened the door, and dragged Zhang Mumu from the bed.
"You can go." He declared mercilessly with dark circles under his eyes, "No need to contact me again in the future. Farewell, classmate Zhang."
Zhang Mumu, who slept in his clothes last night, didn't wake up at all. After hearing his words, he immediately screamed, hugged him and cried: "Don't commit suicide, classmate Zhou!"
"No, I have no intention of committing suicide, I just want to have a good sleep." Zhou Yu said expressionlessly.
"If you fall asleep, you won't be able to wake up!"
"I really just want to have a good sleep."
“If you fall asleep, you won’t be able to wake up!!!”
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, took a few seconds to measure the height difference between him and Zhang Mumu, then pressed her forehead, pushed her out of the door like a bowling ball, and quickly locked the door. Zhang Mumu refused to leave, knocking on the door tenaciously and shouting: "Then you can't take a boat in your dream! You must not go there when you see the river and red flowers! You must come back!!"
Zhou Yu ignored her words, calmly took out a piece of tissue paper, tore it into two small balls, stuffed them into his ears, and then locked the room from the inside. After isolating the source of the noise, he finally collapsed on the bed as if exhausted.
Logically speaking, there are two personalities operating in a body, but the body's requirement for sleep length will not be reduced, and both personalities should be affected. But for some reason, Zhou Yu didn't mention this in her diary, as if all her fatigue was concentrated in Zhou Yu's time period.
The previous week's exploration had yielded no results. Zhou Yu's energy had been exhausted and he just wanted to fall asleep. As for the deep hole in the abandoned factory, he didn't want to confirm it immediately.
——The hole, judging from the surrounding traces, is no more than ten meters. Assuming that the corpse is thrown into it, first of all, there should be corresponding traces left on the ground around it, and secondly, the smell of the corpse will definitely be emitted.
In short, the probability of a corpse hiding at the bottom of the cave is extremely slim.
It’s not too late to go see it next time.
Dimly, a sense of frustration gradually filled his heart. Consciousness continued to fall downwards, dissolving into chaotic dreams.
…
… He walked on the road of night. Walking through the streets and alleys under the moonlight, we came to an abandoned factory covered with moss.
In the middle of the ground, the melody of "The Magic Flute Variations" came from the depths of the cave.
He looked down from the edge of the cave. In the darkness, countless snow-white skeletons rolled.
Like a group of rats bewitched by the Pied Piper, he took a step forward without hesitation and jumped down lightly.
The air in the cave was as stagnant as a quagmire, and he could only slowly squeeze out of the darkness and crawl deeper into the cave. The melody was getting closer and closer, and he put his hand into his pocket without thinking.
"Come back! Remember to come back!"
Suddenly a female voice came from above.
He stamped his feet gently, and the darkness solidified. With a trace of doubt, he looked up.
In the boundless darkness above our heads, only a pale round spot remained, hanging high like a full moon. A familiar female voice floated from the distance in "White Moon".
He recognized that voice.
Darkness begins to flow. Skeletons floated out of the darkness at his feet and danced around him, one pointing into the distance. Zhou Yu looked in the direction it pointed, and there was a road there. Zhang Mumu was standing on the road late at night, and a group of bad youths surrounded her. Then, a battery car drove up from the end of the road, and the female rider on the car walked toward the crowd.
Zhou Yu remembered that this was the story told by Zhang Mumu. It was just like a play on the stage, reappearing in front of him in a weird form.
He watched the female rider pull out her long knife and slash it like a whip, cutting all the young men into pieces. Blood gurgled along the street, and Zhang Mumu cheered happily beside the blood stream.
The female rider turned to her and said, "Don't come to this area again."
Zhang Mumu still kept cheering and said: "Come back! Come back!"
The female rider took off her helmet and smiled at Zhou Yu. That was Zhou Yu, who was as charming and happy as if she were looking at herself in a mirror.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes so hard that the creaking and dancing sounds of the skeletons disappeared. He began to rise rapidly.
The moment he rushed out of the cave, he woke up from his dream, opened his eyes and raised his head, and saw the blood-red afterglow flowing outside the window.
He stared blankly for a moment and realized he was sitting in the school library. The time was a quarter past five in the afternoon, and there were only a few people in the library.
...So that's it, it's switched again.
He looked around and saw two cups of canned black tea placed on the table where he was lying. But he was not in a hurry to find the whereabouts of the other person, but stared at the sunset in a daze.
Not long after, Zhang Mumu came from the direction of the bookshelf. She held three or four books in her hands, and the covers were all very popular. After seeing Zhou Yu wake up, she immediately walked over quickly.
"Zhouzhou! This book is very beautiful!"
"It's you again." Zhou Yu said expressionlessly.
Zhang Mumu looked puzzled, but then he suddenly said, "It's Classmate Zhou! It's your turn again today, isn't it?"
"...What is my situation in your heart?"
"A guardian spirit, a protective ghost, something like that?" Zhang Mumu tilted his head and raised his index finger, "Classmate Zhou must be the ghost who protects Zhou Zhou, right?"
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and did not continue the discussion with her. His head felt extremely heavy and painful, as if there was a sharp cone piercing through the center. The afterimage from the dream was still in front of my eyes, overlapping with Zhang Mumu's face in reality.
Suddenly, he stopped rubbing his temples with his hand.
"——Classmate Zhang, that female rider told you 'Don't come to this area again'. Is that right?"
"Huh?" Zhang Mumu put down the book and thought for a while before saying, "Yes."
"Did she say that near Orshall Road?"
"No, you told me after you dropped me off at the subway station."
"The subway station in Hongsen? The one next to the shopping mall?"
"Yes, that's it."
Zhou Yu thought for a while, then stood up suddenly, picked up his bag, and walked out of the library. Zhang Mumu quickly put down his book, followed her and asked, "Classmate Zhang?"
"...Classmate Zhou, I have a question."
Zhou Yu used his campus card to open the automatic door and watched Zhang Mumu fumbling around in his pocket.
"I'm going to the casino now, what are you going to say to me?"
"Of course you don't go! Gambling is illegal!"
"So, what if I want to spend the night at your house now?"
"Okay, let's watch a horror movie together?"
Zhou Yu glanced at the sky and walked quickly outside. Zhang Mumu dug into his pockets in a panic, finally looked around, and got out of the gap under the automatic door.
"Classmate Zhou! Wait for me!"
"No, it's better if you don't follow me." Zhou Yu said without looking back.
As expected, Zhang Mumu was still following him. Zhou Yu glanced at her and finally decided to give up. This girl's ability to talk to herself was something he couldn't fight.
He got on the bus, and Zhang Mumu sat naturally on the seat next to him. While the bus was driving, he turned on his phone to confirm the time.
December 30th, which meant that it was only yesterday that he explored the abandoned factory. Perhaps it was because of losing one day's memory that Zhou Yu went to school to ask Zhang Mumu about the situation. In fact, just contacting by mobile phone is enough, but Zhou Yu undoubtedly has a great affection for Zhang Mumu.
He looked sideways at Zhang Mumu. This girl is obviously not ugly, but because her appearance is too childish, it seems inappropriate to call her beautiful. Like rabbits, deer and other herbivorous creatures, they can only be generally described as "cute".
While examining her, Zhou Yu felt a faint sense of doubt.
He suddenly realized that he had not been with each other for more than a week so far.
