The dark night, the silent city, the rapid footsteps and breathing.
Zhou Yang ran forward crazily, not even daring to look back, for fear that what he would see when he looked back was that the street lights would also be extinguished crazily, and the darkness would catch up and engulf him in an instant. His fear completely overwhelmed his rationality.
The college student, who lacked exercise, stopped after running out of strength. Although he didn't actually run very far, he felt that his lungs were on fire and his legs were as heavy as lead. , and finally held his knees and gasped for air on the side of the road.
While panting heavily, he looked back at the street over there, only to see darkness over there, and all the street lights had been extinguished.
Quietly...
There seems to be nothing...
--seem.
His heart was pounding, but he never had the courage to go back and take a look. He could only grit his teeth and pray that nothing would happen to his best friend... No, maybe there was no need to worry about that guy at all. This situation was more likely. It was because I got into trouble and fell into some strange situation alone.
So what exactly happened and why it became like this? He clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and looked around in fear and helplessness.
Although Zhou Yang may be more mature and steady compared to his peers, he is only a little more mature, so when faced with such a strange situation, he also doesn't know what to do, even if he keeps warning himself that he must Calm down...be calm...
How could he be calm like this? And even if he calmed down, he still didn't know how to face this situation or how to solve it.
The surroundings seemed to be still streets in the old city. He seemed to have ran out to the main road in the city in one breath. The street lights on this street were emitting a soft and dim light. He was now standing directly under a street light, which seemed to be shining brightly. Only when the surroundings are dark can you feel a sense of security.
It might not necessarily be useful, but at least there were continuous street lights on this street. Even if the horrific situation like before happened again, he would have time to react.
After calming down, Zhou Yang paid attention to his surroundings and tried to identify the direction.
However, the scenery reflected in his eyes showed a strange and chaotic scene under the dim light of the street lamp. In the relatively dim environment, although he could only vaguely make out some outlines, he could still see some The old building is brand new, as if it had just been built...
However, there are also some dilapidated tile houses that I don’t know where they came from. They look blurry and distorted. There are stacks of firewood or tattered wooden carts on the edges. At first glance, they look like scenes from the last century or earlier. At the same time, they are out of place. It also made his hair stand on end.
He swallowed hard, slowly raised his head and looked into the distance along the main road ahead, taking in the panoramic view of the city. His mouth couldn't help but open bit by bit, opening wider and wider——
The asphalt road and the muddy loess road are mixed and intertwined... At the end of the road in the distance, for some reason, there is a dark shadow of an old tree with leafy branches...
There are thick dark clouds in the sky, and the round moon is quietly reflected in the night sky... At the end of the city are the outlines of row upon row of buildings, and the sky behind cannot be seen faintly thundering, with flashes of thunder from time to time...
This seemed to be a strange and dark world with no logical rules at all. Both time, space and scenery were completely misplaced and irregular. What appeared was an unparalleled chaotic reflection. This made him full of panic and his face turned pale. But Subconsciously staring at the thunderclouds in the distance.
Complete darkness.
Even a brief flash of lightning could not penetrate the lead-heavy darkness. It seemed that the city had been cut off from the outside world and had fallen into a demonic world.
"Where...is this place? Who is going to save me..." The panic in his heart turned into a feeble whisper. He tremblingly picked up the phone, hoping to grab the last straw, but the result was naturally disappointing. Yes, there is no signal at all here.
I tried making a few calls, but the result was naturally no response.
boom……
There was a muffled sound in the distance, and the ground seemed to be shaking slightly. Zhou Yang's body suddenly froze. He was already in a state of panic, so naturally he subconsciously looked at the person he had just escaped from. that street.
All the street lights were turned off, leaving only darkness, but it was still quiet.
It seemed that the movement was not coming from there, but from somewhere farther away. It seemed like the movement of something very heavy and huge was moving, and every step shook the ground.
boom! boom!
Zhou Yang was trembling with fear. He subconsciously recalled a movie he had seen, about the resurrection of dinosaurs. The man in it was sitting alone in a car parked on a forest path. He heard the ground shaking and felt the giant creature gradually approaching. hour……
Do you feel the same way you do now? It felt like being strangled by the throat and suffocated by being grabbed at the stomach.
He didn't know if the sound was approaching, but he felt that he couldn't stay here anymore. Although leaving the range of the light seemed to frighten him, he hoped to stay here until dawn, but the situation seemed not to allow it. Greater terror is approaching...
Gritting his teeth and identifying the direction of the sound, he was forced to start tremblingly in the opposite direction.
Although he was frightened along the way, nothing seemed to happen. He tried his best to walk in the light of the street lights, not wanting to step into the darkness at all. He couldn't see the gloomy streets and alleys on the roadside and the extended yellow mud road. Not taking a glance, not squinting, for fear of seeing something you shouldn't see if you look around.
But the road ahead is the big eerie tree...
Zhou Yang looked around and found that there was no way around him.
Unless he is willing to walk on those weird-looking yellow mud roads, or those dark and gloomy alleys next to them, or those gray fogs. I don’t know what is in the fog, but it is just gray and lightless, and the vast rolling , nothing can be seen clearly.
The dull sound behind him was approaching step by step, and the rumbling vibrations seemed to be getting closer... His previous thoughts and decisions were correct, something was really moving this way, and if it stayed in place, it wouldn't be the same. Know what the consequences will be.
Hearing the heavy sound gradually approaching, Zhou Yang, who didn't want to know what it was at all, bit the bullet and moved forward step by step. He slowly walked into the shadow of the big tree.
The old trees were very dense, covering a large area. There seemed to be an unknown coldness invading him. He felt cold all over his body and his scalp was numb. He could only move forward little by little, while repeating it in his heart over and over again. Standing, telling myself that this is nothing, this tree is nothing...
He looked carefully outside and saw clearly.
However, at this moment, there seemed to be an eerie wind blowing, and the leaves rustled.
His mind went blank, and his whole body was frozen in place, because he suddenly felt something swinging and hitting the back of his head with the wind...and mixed in the wind was a rope tightening the object. , a creaking sound...
He didn't know what he was thinking, or maybe he just turned around slowly and looked behind him like an instinct.
A pair of red embroidered shoes are floating in the air in the wind...
This was his last consciousness. The impact was too violent and the accumulated fear completely exceeded the threshold. His whole body shook a few times and he fell backwards.
…………
Not sure how much time had passed, Zhou Yang felt someone slapping his face, and Zhou Yang opened his eyes in a daze.
"Are you awake?" came a faint voice.
With a sudden jolt, all the remaining drowsiness of the college student disappeared. He sat up and glanced around subconsciously. Then he found that he had returned to the bright streetlight at some point, and the big tree not far away The tree still stood there quietly.
The fear before he fell into coma overwhelmingly surged into his heart, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably. He looked to the side with trembling teeth.
It was a tall man, wearing a slightly old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit, holding a black umbrella in one hand, and a strange white lantern in the other hand. There was not much on his face that had a sense of vicissitudes of life. expression, but his eyes were scrutinizing, looking at him condescendingly.
"It was...you saved me? Thank you..."
Zhou Yang stammered with his body trembling, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.
"Are you an ordinary person? How did you get into the land of dreams?" The man nodded disapprovingly and asked, still looking up and down at Zhou Yang.
"I...I don't know. I don't know how I got here. I just...I just walked out the door and found that the street was empty..." Zhou Yang stammered in explanation. , he also wanted to know why he ended up in this hellish place.
"Is it sudden? It seems like you have awakened..." The man nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "Boss, do you know what is going on?"
After all the previous shocks and fears, he no longer had any doubts about it and believed that he had definitely come into contact with another side of the unknown world.
"This is the land of dreams, the sea of deep consciousness of all living beings, the common dream of all human beings..." The man said, "You must not be here for the first time, and some of the dreams in this area may also come from you. It’s mapped out by memory, but it’s probably the first time you’ve fallen into a dream so clearly.”
"We share...dreams?" Zhou Yang looked around subconsciously.
He had this strange feeling before. He always felt that this was a strange and dislocated world with no rules and logic. Many things from different eras and styles were inexplicably piled up and merged together, like an unreasonable... dream.
"It's like this. Everyone's dreams merge together, and there will definitely be distortions when they are integrated with each other. Even for the same thing, everyone's memory mapping may be different, and this is why the distortion comes..."
The man explained calmly:
"Dreams are therefore divided into many layers. For example, there are seven or eight different realms overlapping in a room. They may be different residents in the past. The memory mappings of different periods overlap and overlap. The resulting situation also makes the dreamland It’s very complicated, and I don’t know how many long-ago memories are still deposited in the deepest dreams..."
