While walking, Shen Xing glanced down the stairs. It was pitch black below and he couldn't see anything.
He took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function, illuminated the steps under his feet, and walked down carefully step by step.
He quickly turned around a few stairs, and according to memory, he should be on the first floor. .
But what surprised Shen Xing was that he found that he was still going down the stairs, which seemed to be endless.
He raised his head and glanced at the direction he came from downstairs. It was already dark up there, and he couldn't see his way back.
Because he knew in advance that he would encounter something strange, Shen Xing did not panic and quickly went down the stairs again.
After walking for a while, he determined that he could no longer go out from this direction, so he turned around and headed back upstairs.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, I returned to the fourth floor.
This old building was about six stories high. Shen Xing did not stop on the fourth floor, but continued to climb the stairs to the fifth floor.
A strange scene happened again. He climbed almost five floors and still couldn't get to the top of the building. Moreover, the corridors on each floor became the corners of the stairs, making it impossible for him to stay on these floors.
If you want to stop, you are still in the stairs, which is exactly the same as going downstairs.
After deciding not to go upstairs, Shen Xing turned around and headed back downstairs. After turning two stairs, he quickly reached the fourth floor.
Now it seems that the fourth floor, where Yao Tong's family lives, has been created by Yao Tong's consciousness into a completely isolated space, surrounded by invisible walls, making it impossible for him to get out.
Moreover, Yao Tong is already very familiar with this floor, so the items that appear in her consciousness appear to be very real, no different from reality.
But is it really impossible for me to leave here?
Shen Xing looked up at the mottled yellow wall. He slowly walked towards the door of Yao Tong's open room. When passing by the side of the house where his parents lived, Shen Xing did not go any further, but turned straight in.
Walking to the window of the living room, he stepped on the sofa and opened the window glass, revealing the neon-lit and quiet streets outside.
Then Shen Xing got out of the window and jumped out.
The windows here were not equipped with anti-theft windows, which was the reason why he chose to jump out of the window here. The windows in the room where Yao Tong was located were all installed with anti-theft windows by her parents to prevent her from having schizophrenia. Possibility of jumping off building.
Not only that, Shen Xing's behavior of jumping off the building had no warning before. It seemed that he had given up on finding a way out, but in fact, in the process of returning, he unexpectedly used another method to achieve his goal.
The moment he jumped out of the window, Shen Xing heard Yao Jie and Huang Guiping's exclamations coming from the window of the house next door, because at this time, the two people were still paying attention to the window, paying attention to the abnormalities mentioned by Shen Xing.
Unexpectedly, he saw Shen Xing jumping out of the window.
Shen Xing lowered his head and looked at his feet. The quiet street was getting closer and closer. In the next second, his feet landed on the ground.
It was different from what he imagined. Originally, he planned to use the black tendon protective film to protect his legs. However, in fact, after the soles of his feet landed, the feedback felt was very low, which was far from the level of jumping from a building in reality. lower level.
Standing on the street, Shen Xing looked up to the fourth floor and found that Yao Jie and Huang Guiping were no longer visible.
He breathed lightly, and it was smooth and unimpeded at all, except that although the whole street was brightly lit, it was dead silent.
Shen Xing originally thought that after successfully jumping out of the old building, she would be out of Yao Tong's dream, but now it seems that although she did not completely simulate this street in her consciousness, this place still fell under Yao Tong's jurisdiction.
It's just that Shen Xing feels a little different.
He subconsciously looked around and soon discovered something was wrong.
I saw a familiar figure squatting next to the trash can at the door of the store opposite. She was wearing a yellowed white skirt, feet without shoes, bruises covering her ankles, and her long, greasy hair hanging on her shoulders.
This person is Yao Tong.
The moment Shen Xing saw her, Yao Tong slowly stood up and looked over with his eyes under his long hair. Her dress, which was originally white, was slowly changing color, getting darker and darker.
When she walked towards Shen Xing, the white dress had turned into a black dress, and the whole person was shrouded in a haze. She lowered her head slightly and tilted her eyes upward, like a beast about to attack.
In this scene, his expression was completely different from that in the room just now.
Shen Xing took two steps back.
Yao Tong immediately began to speed up and trotted towards him.
Shen Xing stretched out his uninjured right arm, and a protective layer of black tendons appeared, indicating that it was still functioning normally and he no longer retreated.
After Yao Tong quickly approached, he punched out, but without any reinforcement, his fist hit Yao Tong's shoulder.
At the same moment, Yao Tong stretched out his arm, grabbed a piece of his sleeve with five fingers, and tore the sleeve off with a crash, but at the same time, his whole body was punched away by Shen Xing.
The figure flew out and knocked over the trash can she was squatting behind. The trash can burst instantly, and her falling body rolled back several times, and then stopped moving.
Shen Xing glanced at it and was about to continue walking along the street when the black-clothed Yao Tong, who was covered by a tattered trash bin, suddenly moved, his arms stretched out and supported on the ground, and his feet moved in a strange way. The angle completely stretched her body up.
Looking from the direction of Shen Xing, he found that her waist had been broken, but she maintained this posture, with her head folded back and resting on her left calf, turning her head to look at herself.
Not only that, the right foot turned inward, almost to the rear.
Yao Tong maintained this appearance, with messy hair and wide eyes, but his pupils turned dark. He opened his mouth and let out a shrill scream in the direction of Shen Xing. Her teeth also turned black. The mouth was full of darkness, and while it screamed, streaks of black mucus flowed down.
Dong dong dong...
Taking strange steps, he staggered towards Shen Xing again, walking faster and faster, almost trotting.
"This woman can't be beaten to death!"
Shen Xing guessed that because this was Yao Tong's dream, no matter what she became in this dream scene, she was probably immortal.
Even if he beat her into a puddle of rotten flesh, I am afraid that the puddle of rotten flesh would still crawl on the ground.
"Mr. Shen..."
At this moment, a voice sounded from the top of Shen Xing's head.
Shen Xing looked up and saw Yao Tong's head sticking out of the window on the fourth floor of the old building, waving and shouting at him.
This Yao Tong is wearing a yellowish white dress, which is in sharp contrast to the Yao Tong in the black dress who has a deformed body on the street.
And she looked at Shen Xing's expression of concern, anxiety and nervousness.
Shen Xing raised his head and glanced at her, then turned his attention to the deformed Yao Tong in black skirt who was approaching him.
"Don't leave this building, it's dangerous outside!"
Yao Tong, in the white dress above her head, spoke again.
Shen Xing turned around and prepared to open the small street door leading to the stairs of the old building. Unexpectedly, the door did not move at all and could not be opened at all, as if it had been completely welded shut by electric welding.
In Yao Tong's mind, there was no way out of this building, so there was no possibility of the small door being opened.
"wait!"
Yao Tong upstairs said something and retracted his head. He might have been looking for ropes around the room, or was preparing to tie them into strips with sheets and put them down.
However, Shen Xing immediately turned over and used the "adhesion" skill brought about by three times the strength enhancement. The skin on the surface of his body became sticky, just like Spider-Man. He pressed his palms directly on the wall and followed the wall of the old building. Climb up.
This skill was inspired together with the jab. Later, Shen Xing tried it secretly himself and felt that it was almost a climbing skill, except that it could ignore any obstacles.
He once tried that he could hang it directly on the smooth glass of the exterior wall, and the effect was very powerful.
But when Shen Xing had climbed more than half way, the deformed Yao Tong who was chasing him also came to the corner. Using his hands and feet together, like a twisted spider, he quickly climbed up along the wall, making a shrill scream as he climbed. .
Shen Xing clung to the window edge, turned over, and jumped into the house.
At this time, Yao Tong was still tying the sheets in the bedroom, and Yao Jie and his wife, who were at a loss what to do, saw Shen Xing climb up directly. They immediately rushed to the window, worked together to quickly close the window, and pressed the lock.
Yao Tong heard the noise and ran out of the bedroom.
At this time, there was a bang outside the window, and the deformed Yao Tong who was chasing him hit the glass. He saw the grotesque body lying outside the glass, and the terrifying face was stuck to the window, his eyes widened. Staring motionless at everything in the room.
This scene was so frightening that Yao Jie couldn't help but scream. Huang Guiping even hid behind Yao Jie, trembling all over.
"How...how did you get up here?" Yao Tong did not look at his other self outside the window, but walked out of the bedroom and said to Shen Xing in surprise.
"Climbed up directly." Shen Xing took a closer look at her and found that Yao Tong in front of him was behaving normally, and asked: "How long did it take for you to wake up?"
Yao Tong was a little surprised, "Am I asleep?"
Shen Xing: "..."
"Dad, Mom, go to my room. There is a security window over there, and nothing can get in." Yao Tong said to his parents.
Yao Jie and his wife nodded quickly, helped each other out of the living room, and ran to the next door.
At this time, the deformed Yao Tong who was sticking to the window looked at Shen Xing in the room for a moment, then squirmed again and continued to climb upstairs without a trace.
Shen Xing turned his attention to Yao Tong in the white dress in front of him, and seemed to be organizing his words. After a moment, he said: "That person outside, is you after darkening?"
Yao Tong looked complicated and bit his lip, "That's me."
"You after schizophrenia." Shen Xing pointed to the sofa, "Sit down first, don't think too much, I just want to confirm."
After saying that, he went to close the door and poured Yao Tong a glass of warm water for her to drink slowly.
Shen Xing has probably guessed it now.
In reality, Yao Tong after schizophrenia will have visions in his thoughts, which can be said to be abnormal, but those visions are not abnormalities in the true sense.
Over time, from the beginning, only she could see these visions, but eventually, as Yao Tong's mental power became stronger, her parents began to see them too.
Of course, these visions are still just visions, not real abnormalities.
But her parents don't think so, and are often frightened so much that it has seriously affected their lives, but they can't get their daughter out of this situation.
This made Yao Tong herself feel conflicted, so she naturally created her own dream. In this dream, her parents also existed, but she isolated the split part of herself outside the building.
Of course, this kind of isolation is not pure. Sometimes strange things will happen in this old building, but these are all within Yao Tong's control.
For this abnormal situation, it will not affect normal life, and will not make parents worry and be completely overwhelmed. This is much better than the real world outside.
Bringing a wooden chair, Shen Xing sat down in front of Yao Tong in white dress and watched her sip warm water. The deformed Yao Tong outside the building was nowhere to be seen.
But at this time, the sound of high heels came from outside the corridor in the building, like a woman who had just gone to work, walking farther and farther with elegant steps, until the sound disappeared in the direction of the stairs.
Shen Xing ignored it. These were minor anomalies within Yao Tong's control.
He stared at Yao Tong and said: "No matter what, this place is always a dream, and the problem cannot be fundamentally solved. Your parents are not real either. Your symptoms cannot be solved in this way."
Yao Tong didn't speak, just stared into his eyes.
Shen Xing continued: "How long have you been in this dream? Have you never thought about going out to see your real parents? Here, you are always escaping and can never solve the problem."
When Shen Xing thought about it, if every ordinary person who broke into her dream couldn't get out and was trapped and died here, the old house where Yao Tong lived would be a time bomb.
Maybe someone had been trapped before, or some other unimaginable consequences had occurred.
It's just Yao Tong's dream. Maybe it will only have such powerful power at night in the real world.
After hearing these words, Yao Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly, seeming helpless and mocking himself.
At this moment, Shen Xing discovered that the two nails on each hand on her legs slowly turned gray.
At the same time, Yao Jie and Huang Guiping returned to the room where Yao Tong lived, closed the door, and stood in the middle of the living room, away from the window that had been installed with anti-theft windows.
They also heard the sound of high heels outside the door fading away and seemed to disappear at the end of the stairs.
Not long after, Yao Jie's eyes fell in the direction of the bedroom with the door half open. He suddenly looked suspicious and asked Huang Guiping: "Guiping, when Tongtong came out of the bedroom just now, did you go into the bedroom again?"
"No." Huang Guiping shook her head.
"Why... there..." Yao Jie was even more shocked, staring into the bedroom.
From his direction, he could just see the bed in the bedroom, and there was a thin figure lying on the bed at the moment.
Yao Jie immediately took a step forward and saw that the person lying down was undoubtedly Yao Tong. Not only that, even the sleeping position seemed to have not moved.
"Ah! Tongtong is still in bed!" Yao Jie was suddenly shocked, "Then the Tongtong we saw just now..."
Boom!
Suddenly there was a heavy crash next door, and then a shrill scream sounded, which was almost the same as the scream of Yao Tong in black skirt outside the house.
Boom!
Another dull sound came, making Yao Jie and his wife tremble.
Shen Xing suddenly opened the door from the outside and strode in. He looked a little embarrassed. There were five fingerprints on his neck, but the skin on his neck was covered by a protective film of black tendons.
After entering the room, Shen Xing picked up the cold water bottle on the table with one hand, strode into the bedroom, and said: "I fell asleep on purpose, it was not the effect of sleeping pills at all! This little guy has ulterior motives!"
After saying this, he unscrewed the lid of the cold water bottle and poured it on Yao Tong's head.
But at this moment, Shen Xing suddenly felt pain in his chest. It was a kind of pain that was poked on his skin with a knife, as if he was a piece of wood carving and someone was carving on him with a knife at this moment.
