Shen Xing turned his head and glanced upstairs. Above the white mist, the stairs were hidden inside, and he did not see the person who had been chasing him coming down.
And now the third Shen Xing encountered on the first floor is obviously different from the one upstairs. This one is very similar to himself, very similar, and behaves normally. It does not look like a potential consciousness forming, but another... personality!
After hearing the words "Wood Carving Shop" and "Ye Ting" spoken by the other party, Shen Xing was stunned. He had the feeling that everything suddenly became unreal.
Although it is indeed a dream now, it is not real in the first place.
After being surprised and looking at the smiling face in front of him, Shen Xing quickly reacted and blurted out: "Are you... a bastard?!"
The other party didn't express anything and kept smiling, but he took two steps back and sat next to the stove.
Shen Xing really couldn't figure out who this guy was other than a "second-rate guy", and why he appeared here again.
First of all, this was his own dream, and it must be correct, otherwise he would not have met the subconscious self upstairs, nor would he have almost gone crazy because of the confusion in his thinking caused by the encounter.
This "bad guy" appears in his dream at this moment, and seems to be very familiar with the environment here, which means that it may not be the first time he has come in, maybe... he has always been there.
At this time, the "bad guy" in front of him nudged the chair in front of him with his lips, gesturing for Shen Xing to sit down as well.
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment and sat next to him around the stove.
"Fool? So that's what you called me?"
While smiling, the guy picked up the fire tongs placed on the soles of his feet, took out a coal block from the coal basin next to the stove, and placed it next to the heart of the stove. Then he used the fire tongs to open the iron cover on the stove mouth and clamped the coal He went in and closed the reddish iron lid.
By saying this, he was indirectly admitting that he was a bad guy who would appear from time to time in reality.
"Why are you here?" Shen Xing couldn't help but ask.
After asking this question, he subconsciously looked up at the stairs.
"Don't look at it, the you formed by the deep consciousness cannot come down." Erhuo reminded, and then answered Shen Xing's question, "I have always been here, it's just that you don't know it."
"You just said that the wood carving shop is yours, and Ye Ting is also yours. What do you mean?" Shen Xing looked at the fire tongs in the other person's hands, "Also, why did you look like a retard before? And now why are you suddenly... Is it back to normal?”
At this time, Erhuo was using tongs to dig into the furnace mouth the small cinders that had fallen next to it. He was doing this action with his hands as if out of habit, while answering Shen Xing's question.
"The woodcarving shop was originally mine. Ye Ting was with me when we were in college. Who do you think she belongs to? Is it yours?" At this point, the second-rate guy smiled.
Shen Xing said nothing, his face darkened.
"Do you believe there is another you in this world?" Erhuo suddenly asked.
Shen Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, but I believe there may be an anomaly pretending to be me, just like the anomaly that pretended to be Hong Bin, and then its characteristics were absorbed by me."
The second guy also shook his head, his movements were exactly the same as Shen Xing's, as if they were carved from the same mold: "The anomaly pretending to be Hong Bin has no latent skills, so you can't inspire the existence of another clone."
Shen Xing was stunned.
Ever since he absorbed the abnormal characteristics of the fake Hong Bin, these two people began to appear. He always thought there was some relationship between the two because it was such a coincidence.
But now from what the second-rate guy said, it seemed that he also knew about the existence of the fake Hong Bin anomaly, and also knew that the anomaly had weak characteristics, so it was impossible for his latent skills to be absorbed by him.
Of course, at this time, it is not ruled out that the second-rate guy is still an anomaly and is deliberately saying these words to continue to deceive Shen Xing.
"The anomaly pretending to be Hong Bin was indeed absorbed." Shen Xing said: "So I have been wondering whether you are of the same kind as that anomaly and are secretly plotting revenge."
"It seems that your memory loss is a bit serious." Erhuo laughed again when he heard this. After a pause, he said seriously: "There is indeed no other self in this world, but you do not belong to this world. You are a Outsiders!”
Without waiting for Shen Xing to answer, he continued: "Ye Ting and I were living a good life and were engaged. But one day, you suddenly appeared from our lives. Behind Ye Ting's back, you told me that you were from Another world, but the next move was an attempt to replace me. When I first met you, I was very curious and wanted to know more about your world. I thought... I was just like the protagonist in the movie. Suddenly Got an old grandpa..."
"Wait a minute." Shen Xing interrupted him, "You mean, soul penetration?! We share the same body?"
"Otherwise?" Erhuo asked back.
"But why were Feifei and I able to see you later?" Shen Xing was puzzled.
"Your body was formed later." Erhuo said: "Because you couldn't take it away, you wanted to replace me with an anomaly that can transform and change the body from reality to reality."
At this point, Erhuo's eyes flashed with strangeness, "It was at that time that Ye Ting and I came into contact with anomalies for the first time. We felt the danger, but you, in turn, learned my wood carving skills. Locked my spirit and consciousness into the wood carving along with other anomalies!”
"You mean Golden Finger?" Shen Xing stared at him in surprise.
"That's your golden finger." Erhuo nodded, "I can't go out. You took over my body instead of me. Ye Ting also discovered your abnormal behavior at this time. In order to find the reason, she began to contact the abnormality. The whereabouts of the result remain unknown.”
"But why don't I remember?" Shen Xing asked.
"Because you overabsorbed the characteristics and it was repelled!" Erhuo stretched out his index and middle fingers and pointed at his eyes, "I saw it with my own eyes in the wood carvings."
Then the idiot's expression fell into memories, "You wanted to absorb more gentle characteristics into your body at that time, in an attempt to balance the violent characteristics that were raging in your body. I remember that you hurriedly picked up several items in the room that had been used by you. You housed abnormal wood carvings, including me. These characteristics, including me, were instantly absorbed by you, and the wood carvings all exploded on their own."
"I thought I was doomed, but I didn't know that after you absorbed these characteristics, you did not balance the characteristics in your body as expected. Instead, you collapsed due to the chaos of a large number of characteristics. Not only did your will collapse, your spirit collapsed, but even your memory was severely destroyed. But you But my golden finger protected you in the end, preventing you from becoming an idiot, and in order to stabilize your sanity, you robbed my spirit and will."
The second guy was talking eloquently. During this process, he did not look at Shen Xing's expression. Instead, he used tongs to slowly straighten the iron lid on the stove mouth.
It was as if what he said only happened to others and had nothing to do with him.
Shen Xing remained silent for the time being. He lowered his head slightly and carefully considered every word of the guy in front of him.
It seems that the person he longs for is the fiancée of this idiot in front of him? !
And the confusion in my memory is because I wanted to seize the original owner of the body, but was destroyed by the characteristics, which led to memory damage? !
If it weren't for Goldfinger's final protection, which took away part of the original owner's spiritual will for him, would he have given up completely? !
Now it seems that my ability to contain anomalies through wood carvings and then absorb abnormal characteristics comes from the golden finger that I brought with me after soul piercing? !
After such a combination, Shen Xing found that he had become a heinous bad boy!
He raised his head to look at Er Huo, who had just withdrawn his eyes, and an indescribable feeling flashed across his eyes.
Shen Xing thought about it carefully and suddenly said: "If you suddenly came down from upstairs just now and I stood here waiting for you, would I be able to tell you exactly what I just said?"
The idiot stared at him in confusion.
Shen Xing continued: "If you say these words just to make me feel a little regretful and sad, congratulations, you have achieved your goal. But as far as I can see, in the last few times in real life, You who appeared before have actually woken up a long time ago, that is, your memory has almost completely returned, but you are still pretending to be stupid in front of Feifei and me...B!"
Erhuo's expression became slightly complicated at this time, but he was quickly suppressed.
"So I know that it's not that you don't want to express it, but that you have some purpose, such as waiting for a perfect opportunity." Shen Xing raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, but looked at the second-rate guy with cold eyes, "In reality, your body It comes from the anomaly that you just mentioned, which can change reality and reality. This abnormality is very weak, so you cannot achieve your ultimate goal. And the best way to achieve this goal is for the two of us to be in the same body. inside."
At this point, the second-rate guy's suppressed expression suddenly collapsed, and his face turned cold.
Shen Xing was still minding his own business and said: "Now you have waited for this opportunity, because the silly hanging that Mou Ling's aunt is holding outside... Uh, I'm sorry, I said this because I don't want the wood carving to be abnormal and interfere with the wood carving I made. Confusion. This silly anomaly allows me to forcibly dream. Because the forced appearance of dreams allows me to enter my own dreams, and I can see you while seeing my subconscious mind, so you appear. Now I see you. When you get to me, you immediately tell me what you have been thinking about for a long time."
Speaking of this, Shen Xing paused deliberately, and then said: "But you did one step right. What you just said made me unable to distinguish between you and me, who was the one who came through the soul, and who was the soul. He is an aborigine. But what does it matter? This does not affect your ability to kill me now and take away control of this body!"
"Fart, you took my body away from me!"
The second-rate man's face suddenly became fierce, and he no longer hid it. He kept holding the pretending fire tongs in his hand, and smashed Shen Xing's head in front of him.
The whole body of this fire tong is made of black iron, which is resistant to high temperatures and hard in texture. One end is a handle, which is easy to grip, and the other end is sharp. If it is smashed, Shen Xing's head will probably be pierced or exploded.
But the moment before he hit it, Shen Xing, who had been prepared, quickly stood up and stepped back.
At this moment, all face-changing, invisibility, violent and black-vein protective films are useless, because Shen Xing is in a dream and cannot use his latent skills at all.
Physical strength and physical strength are equally useless. In this dream, the only thing that matters is who has greater mental strength. This can only be realized after two people wrestle to determine the outcome.
The second guy was holding on to the tongs all the time, obviously gaining the upper hand. After the first blow missed, he immediately stood up and rushed in the direction of Shen Xing. The tongs in his hands made a whirring sound, and every time he hit the place, he stood up. , all belong to Shen Xing’s body vital points.
Shen Xing seemed to be in a hurry to avoid it, and quickly retreated to the stairs, hit his heels on the first step, and sat down directly.
The second-rate guy followed closely, grabbed the handle of the tongs with both hands, and with a look of excitement on his face that couldn't be concealed, he stabbed Shen Xing in the head, who was unable to avoid it.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his waist, and his attack was interrupted. When he looked down, he found that there was a sharp carving knife stuck in his waist.
It was impossible to tell whether the carving knife was curved or flat, because the blade had been completely inserted into the flesh, and only the wooden handle was visible.
"You, it's impossible, why do you have a carving knife? You, you can't bring it in, this... is simply impossible..."
Just when he was in extreme shock and surprise, Shen Xing sat on the steps and kicked the second guy in the crotch. Then he put his foot against his lower abdomen, grabbed both of the second guy's arms with both hands, and kicked him in the back. He threw it backwards and into the white mist above the stairs behind him.
The second-rate guy was thrown into the white mist without any resistance, and fell on the upper half of the stairs to the second floor, making a dull thud.
He was panicking. He was lying on the stairs with his head on his feet. He originally wanted to stand up immediately or roll down the stairs to the first floor, but his ankles suddenly tightened. When he looked up the stairs, he found that he was already standing on the second floor. An expressionless Shen Xing caught him in the corridor upstairs.
At the same moment, Erhuo's brain suddenly fell into a mess, his thinking was extremely confusing, and his whole body was extremely cold. He wanted to struggle but was unable to do so. He just waved his hands unconsciously.
Shen Xing on the first floor stood up at this moment, turned around, and stared at Bai Wu with some caution.
Suddenly, he heard an urgent cry for help from the idiot, but it stopped suddenly, and then there was the sound of struggling, his throat sounded like a gurgling sound when drowning, and the sound of hands and feet hitting the stairs and walls.
After about ten seconds, the sound was no longer heard.
"Been swallowed by my subconscious dream?" Shen Xing stood on the first floor and said to himself.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed at this moment, and he found that he was already standing outside the yard of Aunt Mou Ling's house, and had not yet entered the self-built building.
Looking sideways, Yan Hanshan was standing on his left, staring nervously at the front of the yard. Mou Ling was standing on his right, looking equally wary, focusing on the yard instead of looking at the building.
In the yard at this moment, all the smaller plants and two small trees that were seen just now were gone, leaving only one towering tree.
This big tree has a thick trunk and many branches. It is extremely dense and covers the sky, almost covering the buildings here.
Mou Ling's aunt Mou Xiufen was like a dummy, entangled in a large number of intricate branches, her fat body clinging tightly to the trunk, her face dull and indifferent.
"Shen Xing, what should we do now? Think of a solution quickly." Mou Ling said urgently.
Shen Xing did not answer her, but turned to look around.
He soon saw Achai's black figure at the crack of the door of the living room on the first floor of the building. Only one third of the figure was exposed.
Achai stretched out his arm forward, pointed at Mou Ling, then slipped into the crack of the door and disappeared.
Shen Xing understood and turned to look at Mou Ling.
Although Mou Ling still looked paralyzed, he became obviously anxious. At this moment, he urged again: "Shen Xing, think of a way quickly, my aunt is going to be swallowed by that big tree!"
"OK."
Shen Xing nodded, suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed Mou Ling's shoulders, turned her over to face him, then raised his right hand and slapped the flat model.
Mou Ling looked confused and stared at him closely, forgetting even his surprise and anger.
"Isn't it strong enough?"
Shen Xing muttered to himself and gave up on scolding her. Although this was in a dream, he really couldn't bear to be so "cruel" to a girl, so he instead reached out to Mou Ling's creaking nest.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The picture in front of him dissipated in an instant, and Shen Xing opened his eyes in a hazy state.
The first thing he saw was the ceiling of the living room on the first floor, and then he realized that he was lying on the sofa, not far from the burning iron stove.
On the other end of the sofa lay Mou Ling, who was slowly waking up.
On the other side of the chair next to the iron stove, Yan Hanshan's body moved and he was also waking up.
After a moment, Shen Xing looked at Mou Ling, who was looking over at him. The latter had a complicated expression, mixed with surprise, confusion and anger.
"Well, it turns out you look pretty when you smile."
