"Ta...Ta...Ta...Ta...Ta...Ta...Ta...Ta..."
The footsteps behind him became clearer and clearer. They started out a little lagging, but now they are following more and more urgently. Lin Xi jogged a few steps, and the footsteps behind him also jogged a few steps, seeming to be faster than her, getting closer and closer to her.
It was obviously a dream, but Linxi's fear was real.
Lin Xi has often had nightmares since she was a child.
Today I fell under a cliff, tomorrow I can fly inexplicably, the day after tomorrow I am chased by people from all walks of life and hide in Tibet, and the day after tomorrow I am trapped in a barrier surrounded by tombs, and I can’t get out...
By the time she was in her twenties, Lin Xi had already experienced nightmares, and would even tell herself in her dreams: It's okay, this is a dream, it will be fine when she wakes up.
Every time she walked at night, Lin Xi would feel like someone was following her. Since half a year ago, this feeling has become more and more real.
In addition to hearing the occasional footsteps, she could also feel... negative energy around her, such as anger, resentment, unwillingness, hatred, and so on.
As time went by, she realized that the negative energy was not directed at her, and she no longer felt it when she was busy with other things, so Lin Xi didn't care too much. She was already very courageous, not to mention that it was really difficult for a young girl not to go out at night.
Rather than deliberately avoiding it, it's better to let nature take its course.
But now, knowing clearly that it was a dream and knowing that it was not really outside, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel scared. As she quickened her pace, she told herself that it was a dream, a dream, a dream, and she woke up after a while, and immediately... the footsteps suddenly disappeared, and there was no sound around, so quiet that it felt like breathing was wrong!
Lin Xi paused for a moment and continued to stride forward as if nothing had happened. Just after taking two steps, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. Before he could see what it was, Lin Xi yelled -
Xiaohong!
Lin Xi opened her eyes all of a sudden, her heart beating rapidly, and she felt a little dazed for a moment. She didn't know whether she was really awake or still in a dream.
"Idiot! Idiot is washed!"
Lin Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head slowly, looked at the little girl lying next to him with a look of disgust on his face, and finally confirmed that he was really awake. She sat up slowly and looked at the little girl with a half-smile. Just as she was about to say something back, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xiaohong, have you... grown up so much?"
You know, in the past six months, Xiaohong has been very reserved and maintained the appearance when the two first met, refusing to grow even "a little bit".
The little girl snorted softly, quickly changed from lying on her stomach to sitting down, and at the same time gave Lin Xi a big eye roll.
"If I don't grow up a little, even if you have a dream, I will scare you away! I'm so unlucky, but..."
"I think I'm dazzled!" Lin Xi interrupted Xiao Hong rudely. "Fortunately, there is no problem with your hearing. In fact, you haven't grown up, not at all!"
As inarticulate as ever.
And it looks like he still can't walk.
"snort!"
Xiaohong's humming became heavier, but she didn't answer Lin Xi's words or ask Lin Xi what she had dreamed about. She didn't want to speak now and shot Lin Xi with a knife in the eye.
Lin Xi stopped talking to Xiao Hong, picked up the phone on the bedside and looked at it, it was five o'clock in the morning.
She only slept for four hours.
On working days, Lin Xi will still try to go to bed early and get up early to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Today is the weekend. I accidentally slept until midnight. If I had woken up naturally, it would have been after ten o'clock.
Even if she accidentally woke up under unnatural circumstances, Lin Xi would mostly turn over and continue sleeping.
But why couldn't I sleep today? I felt inexplicably panicked. I'm so panicked that I can't even play games.
Lin Xi threw down her phone and glanced at Xiao Hong, who was already asleep.
In fact, Xiaohong has grown up a little bit, at least she can maintain her human form longer than before.
Xiaohong suddenly appeared half a year ago.
That time, she also had a nightmare, and even though she knew it was a dream, she couldn't open her eyes at all.
Just when she desperately thought that maybe she would die in her dream, suddenly, a red shadow appeared and rushed towards the black shadow chasing her.
The moment the black shadow became apparent, she woke up from her dream.
When she opened her eyes and turned on the bedside lamp, she saw a little doll in red clothes lying next to her.
Fortunately, Lin Xi is brave and has seen monsters on a regular basis. If it were an ordinary person, such a little doll would appear out of thin air, even if it was very cute and beautiful, he would probably be frightened!
The little baby's big eyes were very beautiful. When he saw her, he immediately smiled and it was a very beautiful smile.
Lin Xi sat up and tried to talk to the baby, but the baby could only babbling and could not answer any of her questions.
"If I'm right, just smile. If I'm not right, don't smile, okay?" Lin Xi said softly, for fear that her mother would hear it. "If you understand, just smile."
The little doll immediately smiled.
"Are you the red shadow in my dream?" Lin Xi asked.
The little doll laughs.
"You won't hurt me, right!" Linxi said.
The little doll has a very beautiful smile.
In fact, she was not sure whether the little doll would tell the truth.
But there is no other way but to believe.
"Can you disappear and appear at any time?" Lin Xi asked again.
The little doll didn't smile this time, but disappeared all of a sudden, but he didn't let Lin Xi wait any longer and reappeared in an instant.
Lin Xi thought for a while and then cautiously continued to ask: "Are you a gui?"
The little doll didn't smile this time, but rolled his eyes, looking at Lin Xi like an idiot.
This was the first time for Lin Xi to be despised by a little baby who couldn't speak.
But it’s fine if it’s not a gui. If it’s not a gui, it should be a demon, and it’s allowed to exist.
"Are you a girl?" Lin Xi felt relieved and her tone relaxed.
The little doll smiled very happily.
Lin Luo also smiled.
She also likes girl dolls!
Lin Xi originally wanted to let her mother see the baby the next day.
A little demon could pull her out of her nightmare, so she decided to stay and raise the little demon.
But, the next day, her mother came over to wake her up, but she didn't seem to see the little baby on the bed.
Lin Xi was cautious, and was afraid that Xiaohong would hurt her mother, so she didn't tell her mother about the baby.
Lin Xi carefully got along with the little doll for a few more days. When she was alone, she played the game of "I told you to laugh" with the little doll, and finally believed it. The little doll indeed had no intention of harming her.
Not only does it not harm her, it does not harm anyone.
But no one could see the little doll except her.
But the little baby firmly does not think that he is a gui, but a demon.
It's a demon that other people can't see.
As for the reason why others can't see her, Little Baby doesn't know.
Lin Xi asked twice, but the little baby looked confused and a little pitiful, as if he had been bullied by Lin Xi.
Lin Xi could only stop asking.
The kindness of a drop of water must be repaid by a spring of water, not to mention that the little one saved her.
I have no choice but to keep it for now.
