The dark figure that burrowed into the cracks in the wall was none other than Ah Chai who came out of the dream.
Although Ah Chai was now hidden in the cracks in the wall, he still felt like he was standing on the street without any clothes. Facing Yao Tong with his eyes closed in front of him, he felt as if he had no secrets.
He knew the reason very well. After all, after having been in and out of dreams for so many years, the dream just now belonged to Yao Tong himself, so she knew better than anyone how many people were in this dream.
But now, one of the people in the dream suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Yao Tong must have noticed it immediately, so Achai believed that it was not without reason that her body suddenly walked to the stairs barefoot.
Perhaps after she came out of the dream, Yao Tong immediately realized that the purpose of her coming out might be because of Shen Xing's body, so she immediately came to the stairs.
But in Achai's view, Yao Tong was still in a deep sleep state.
This was consistent with his initial guess. Yao Tong seemed to be sleeping, but in fact, he used a very strong consciousness to isolate the dream from reality, making people fall into it without knowing it.
You can say that she is asleep, or you can think that she is not asleep at all.
In the dark staircase, apart from the rhythmic dripping sound, no other sounds could be heard, not even Yao Tong's breathing.
Achai remained motionless in the gap in the wall. He was afraid that Yao Tong would be sensitive to his eyes, so he looked away and did not dare to look at him.
This strange and lifeless stair space lasted for about ten minutes before the sound of Yao Tong's footsteps could be heard.
Although she had her eyes closed, she seemed to be able to see everything. She took two steps forward, walked to Shen Xing's side, grabbed his left arm, turned around and dragged him upstairs.
Although she was only holding one hand, Yao Tong's strength seemed to be too much. During the process of dragging Shen Xing's body, she barely bent over, her head faced forward, and she did not lower her head to glance at the person she was dragging. .
Shen Xing was soon dragged to the corridor on the fourth floor by her. Without stopping, she continued to be dragged towards the room where she lived.
Achai came out of the gap in the wall with lingering fear. For some reason, Yao Tong in front of him looked like an ordinary person, but it always gave him an indescribable feeling of palpitations, as if he was facing something very dangerous.
This was completely unbelievable to Achai.
Because for so long, he has been playing tricks on others and absorbing their fears, but this time, although he can also feel the fear, the source of this fear is himself.
After pausing for a moment on the stairs and hearing the dragging sound no longer, Achai came to the fourth floor, stood in the dark corridor and glanced in the direction where Shen Xing was dragged.
There was also no light on the other side of the corridor, which was even darker than the stairwell.
If Achai's vision wasn't affected by darkness, he wouldn't have been able to see what was going on in the corridor.
At this moment, he noticed that the door of one of the rooms in the corridor was open, but there were no lights on in the room, so he couldn't see clearly.
The position of the door to the room was exactly the same as the position in the dream just now.
However, the door of the room next door, where Yao Jie and Huang Guiping lived, was closed and not opened.
Achai wandered into the corridor. Because he was afraid of being discovered by Yao Tong, he did not walk, but floated directly over.
After being cautious along the way, Achai found that there seemed to be no other homes in this corridor. The doors of each home were closed and it was pitch dark inside.
This forced him to be more careful.
Not long after, he came to the only open door and peeked inside. Although the room was still dark, Achai could clearly see every item. The furnishings in the room were the same as what he had just seen in his dream. There is no difference.
Yao Tong accurately restored all the objects here in his dream, but at this moment, Yao Jie and Huang Guiping were not seen in the living room. In the dream, they were sitting on the cloth sofa in the living room.
Achai found Yao Tong's bedroom door open and rustling sounds coming from inside.
He floated over slowly, and when he looked inside, he saw that Yao Tong had dragged Shen Xing to the bed and was unbuttoning Shen Xing's clothes.
"Ah! What are you doing?!" Achai was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Yao Tong would do the opposite, so what?
At this time, Shen Xing was still sleeping soundly and could not wake up.
After unbuttoning Shen Xing's chest to expose his chest, Yao Tong did not continue to unbutton the lower buttons, but straightened Shen Xing's feet, forcing him to lie completely flat on the bed.
Then Yao Tong suddenly turned around, and Achai was so frightened that he immediately found a crack in the door and got in.
He noticed that Yao Tong still had her eyes closed at this time. In other words, she was still sleeping, and the dream where Shen Xing's consciousness was currently was still running.
This scene is very strange.
Yao Tong, who was still asleep, seemed to be able to see everything. He walked to the living room facing the bedroom door, then left the living room and walked directly to the next door.
Not long after, the door lock of the room next door rang. It seemed that she had opened the door of the room next door. Her feet without shoes fell to the ground, making a slight thumping sound.
Achai slipped out from the crack in the door again. He quickly entered the bedroom and took a look at Shen Xing. He found that Shen Xing's expression was calm, and he was in a comatose state rather than a deep sleep.
This Yao Tong must have some special tricks to deal with humans, which can make people fall asleep without knowing it.
Achai immediately tried his best, but did not make too much noise to avoid attracting Yao Tong's attention.
After a while, he found that no matter what method he used, Shen Xing could not be awakened.
He had no choice but to pick up Shen Xing's left arm and take a look. He found that there was a faint white mark on the place where he was cut by the knife in the dream. Although it was not serious, it was obvious that the dream had a certain impact on reality, but it was not as high as it could be. The extent of the wound appears directly.
Although he couldn't wake him up for the time being, he was sure that Shen Xing was fine, so Achai decided to leave for a while, drifted out of the bedroom and living room, and came to the door of the next room.
The door here has indeed been opened, and there is a noise inside, as if Yao Tong is looking for something.
Achai slowly floated into the room, and came to the door of the room where the noise came from. He took a quick peek inside and saw nothing.
He was a little surprised. He heard the sound just now. Yao Tong should be in this room, but now it seems that there is nothing here.
After floating into this room, Achai discovered that this should be the kitchen. Although the room was really dark, the hanging metal kitchen utensils still reflected the faint light.
He looked around and was sure that Yao Tong was not in the kitchen and might have taken something and left.
At the same moment, about two or three seconds after Achai entered the kitchen, Yao Tong's figure slowly appeared in the darkest corner behind the kitchen door. She closed her eyes, held a sharp kitchen knife in her hand, and stood on tiptoe. Walk out slowly.
At this time, Yao Tong didn't make a single sound that Achai could feel. He came up behind Achai silently, raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and just when Achai turned around to leave, he stabbed him with the knife. Come down.
After Acai turned around, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly. He immediately slid back almost subconsciously, dropped the kitchen knife, and threw it away.
Achai was so frightened that in his eyes, the kitchen knife that almost hit him was emitting a faint cyan color. This cyan color made Achai feel an instinctive fear and panic.
Although he had never seen it before, Achai was sure that if this knife fell on him, it would definitely not pass through the black shadow of his body like an ordinary knife, but would injure him solidly.
The next second, he quickly dived into a crack in the cracked tiles in the kitchen wall.
Yao Tong quickly stepped forward with a kitchen knife in hand. Although he did not open his eyes, he seemed to be able to see everything. The kitchen knife inserted into the crack of the cracked tile with extremely precise precision.
Achai, who was hiding in the crack, quickly moved and rushed into another adjacent crack not far away.
Yao Tong quickly took out the kitchen knife and inserted another knife into the crack that was not easy to detect.
Achai was so frightened that he lost his soul. He squeezed his body deeper into the crack with all his strength, but the tip of the knife inserted into the crack in the wall still just touched his dark body.
With a squeaking sound, a wisp of black air came out along the crack in the wall. Achai grinned in pain and finally dodged the tip of the knife.
Yao Tong pulled out the kitchen knife, put his thin cheek in front of the crack that had been opened by the knife blade, and stood there with his eyes closed, motionless.
She seemed to be listening, or "observing", and the surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.
Achai quickly covered his mouth. At this moment, he had forgotten that he had been unable to breathe for a long time.
The black shadow's body was pressed tightly against the innermost crack in the wall. At this moment, Achai was looking to see if there was a way out from the other end of the crack in the wall, but after searching for a long time, he found no other exit.
He didn't move, and Yao Tong stood outside and didn't move away.
Time passed by minute by minute.
I don't know how long it took, but Yao Tong, who had been standing, suddenly moved slightly, turned around, tiptoed, and walked out of the kitchen silently.
Achai, who had been hiding in the cracks in the wall and dared not move, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this. However, he still did not dare to move for the time being because he was afraid that Yao Tong would come back again, so he still remained hidden. .
At this time, just outside the door of the kitchen, Yao Tong, who had been walking out for a while, was standing here silently, only one step away from the door of the kitchen.
She held the kitchen knife tightly in her hand and tilted her head, as if a dead person was motionless and waiting quietly.
After about five minutes, Yao Tong seemed to finally give up. His feet that had been resting slowly landed on the ground, turned around, and walked out of the room.
Dong dong dong...
When the familiar footsteps sounded again, Achai, who had been squatting in the crack of the wall, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a wave of fear.
He obviously heard the footsteps starting from outside the kitchen door and walking out of the room. In other words, Yao Tong just left deliberately, but in fact he had been guarding the kitchen door after she left.
Fortunately, I am as steady as an old dog, otherwise if I had gone out immediately, it might have disappeared by now.
About a minute after the footsteps left, Achai appeared and slowly floated to the door of the kitchen. He looked outside and made sure that no one was outside. However, at this time, the living room door of this room was also closed by Yao Tong.
It's hard for Ah Chai to sneak in every crack he sees.
He found the crack in the door leading to the outside of the living room, and was about to get out and continue to explore the next room when he suddenly froze for a moment, turned around, and looked at the master bedroom with the door ajar in this room.
Arriving at the door of the master bedroom, Achai squeezed directly into the small crack in the door to avoid making any noise, and stood in the master bedroom.
The next second, his dark expression turned into one of shock, and he stared at the big bed in the bedroom without blinking.
…
After seeing Achai disappear, Shen Xing's worries about his physical condition temporarily gained some protection.
He gently pinched his left arm that was already wrapped in a bandage, but pain still came from the wound, as if he had been cut in real life.
The current situation is very unfavorable to him because he accidentally fell into a dream and cannot get out for the time being, so he is very passive now and must break this unfavorable situation.
But since everything here operates as it does in the real world, then maybe you can use your own unique abilities.
At best, the effect may be greatly compromised.
The most important thing at the moment is that Yao Tong is sleeping here again. It seems that she thinks that the "sleeping pill" she took has really produced the effect of the sleeping pill. Otherwise, she should be able to find a breakthrough through further communication with her.
"Yao Tong must wake up as soon as possible." Shen Xing thought to herself, "We can't let her fall into a dream within a dream."
Before that, I still need to learn more about this place, master this dream, and change from passive to active.
With thoughts rising in his mind, Shen Xing immediately left the bedroom and came to the living room.
At this time, Yao Jie and his wife were still standing in front of the living room window, looking down.
Shen Xing walked over and glanced out the window, and found that there were no vehicles passing below, and the entire street was quiet, like a dead city.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?" He asked Yao Jie and his wife.
Yao Jie and Huang Guiping looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, then shook their heads at the same time and looked at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing looked at them deeply, changed the subject, and said, "I'm going out for a while. You guys should take care of Yao Tong first. You can open the bedroom door, but don't go in for now."
"Okay." Yao Jie nodded.
Huang Guiping asked: "Mr. Shen, where are you going?"
"Find something different." Shen Xing replied, and walked out of the house under the surprised gazes of the couple.
Arriving in the corridor, Shen Xing walked straight towards the stairs.
He passed by the open door of the room next door and took a look, but he didn't enter.
Now there is a high chance that Shen Xing is sure that Yao Jie and Huang Guiping are different from him. They are not dreaming, and they are not falling asleep and entering Yao Tong's dream.
Because it is impossible for a normal person not to notice that no matter how late this time is, there is not even a car on the street.
So they might have been created directly in the dream by Yao Tong.
But Shen Xing was not sure about this, because the behavior of these two people was too normal, and there was nothing different from the behavior of ordinary parents.
Regardless of whether they were created or entered Yao Tong's dream for some other reason, Shen Xing knew that he had to guard against these two people now.
He quickly came to the stairs and walked down the stairs.
Now he wanted to see if leaving this old house would directly leave Yao Tong's dream.
