13 Mink Street

this is not reality...

After waking up half a month ago, Karen spent almost a week to accept and confirm that he had traveled to another "real world", not a dream or a fantasy of his own.

But right now,

what you are facing,

Not realistic at all!

I should... no, I'm definitely still in the basement of Inmeles' house,

All the mutations started when he tried to break Jeff's head.

Coupled with the pair of huge red high-heeled shoes and the woman's face in front of me, this kind of product and environment that is extremely inconsistent with reality and detached from rational thinking can only show one thing, that is, I have been "hypnotized".

The word "hypnosis" has been interpreted in many ways, and at the moment, it refers to being stripped of one's physical existence and simultaneously trapped in a spiritual one.

Empty interpretation: I am now... dreaming.

The snowflake sound on the radio is still ringing,

while above,

The woman's mouth began to open slowly,

After reaching the extreme arc that a normal human face can achieve, she continued to crack, and the jagged sound of a zipper being rubbed could be clearly heard.

Until, the whole face was completely divided horizontally by the mouth, the originally compact teeth began to appear a huge gap after the width was widened, and the huge flexible tongue was displayed in a more weird and dexterous posture. Drape down fast!

Like a gecko trying to swallow that little mosquito.

"Buzz!"

Karen only felt that his whole body was wrapped in a mass of wet and greasy warmth, and then his whole body was lifted up.

When a person is quickly grabbed to a high place, or more generally speaking, when being moved quickly, it is similar to riding a pirate ship or a big pendulum, and there will be a "itchy" stimulation;

And once this feeling is aggravated to a certain extent, it is easy to get lost or even fall into fainting.

It's a dream, it's a dream...

Karen murmured in his heart, what he needs to do now is to "wake up" quickly at this moment.

He actually doesn't know the reason for the current situation, but this does not prevent him from dragging the unknown things to the field he is familiar with and good at to solve;

It's like solving a problem, instead of sitting there scratching your head, you might as well try to substitute a little bit of the formula you already know, even if it's... rigid.

In fact, the human spiritual world has always been an extremely mysterious "place";

Normal people dream, and when the dream reaches a certain level, they will wake up naturally. With a very low probability, they will realize that it is a dream but cannot wake up for a while. This is also called "ghost pressure bed". ".

In another group of good people, it is called "lucid dreaming". Through certain training and some self-suggestion skills, the success rate can be increased to enter the state of "lucid dreaming".

Most people, after being interested in it at the beginning, tend to avoid it in the end, because every time they wake up forcibly, the "despair" like a drowning person rising from the bottom of the abyss is enough to make people Crazy and terrified.

However, due to real work reasons, people whose spiritual thinking is often exercised, in this case, can easily fabricate their "dreams" to be more real, which is equivalent to "cocooning themselves" in the actual sense;

The more serious situation is that the subconscious mind starts to "work" by itself in several layers of dreams, deceiving yourself through dreams, allowing you to "wake up" but at the same time "wake up" to a new layer of dreams, so as to reduce your perception of "dreams". This is called "true self-deception".

If the "ghost press" of ordinary people is just floating up from the abyss, then this kind of thing is like a winter swimming enthusiast discovering a thick layer of ice on the top of his head when diving up.

What will be the consequences of not waking up from the dream... It is impossible to define for the time being, because there is no "death in a dream" on the death certificate list to check, and people who "dream to live" will also because it is just a dream Coupled with the fact that the body has not suffered substantial damage, let it go.

The wind blowing by the ears violently, the tongue was very elastic, after Karen was rolled up, he was sent into the mouth at an extremely fast speed.

Next,

It's dense chewing and sucking sounds,

That sound, that one way,

It kept coming to Karen's ears.

You are being eaten, you are being bitten, you are being swallowed...

You're dying...you're dying...you're dying...you're...dead!

Karen understood that if he didn't wake up, his fate would be very bad.

People who have died once, they will not take life and death lightly... On the contrary, they will cherish the beauty of life even more, Karen is like this.

He doesn't want to die!

In this environment, we must give ourselves enough faith and courage to help break through the "dream" barrier and return consciousness to the physical body and reality.

In the past, due to work reasons and his own interests, Karen has encountered similar situations. Although it is not as weird and horrifying as it is now, he has a set of practical solutions.

Falsehood must be pierced with truth;

Weak, need to reshape with ideals;

Obstacles must be destroyed with the truth!

When you are already powerless, you can try to borrow strength.

so,

Karen started singing,

Sing out loud with all your heart and soul:

"Arise, hungry and cold slaves, arise, afflicted all over the world;

My blood is already boiling, and I want to fight for the truth..."

At this time, faith needs to be turned into the most explosive will to break free from this spiritual quagmire. In addition, Karen was a firm materialist in her previous life.

singing,

The sound of his body being chewed was slowly weakening, Karen felt his body was floating up, and he lowered his head slowly while continuing to sing.

He saw women's teeth, women's tongues,

I saw the woman's mouth again,

the whole face of a woman,

at last,

I saw the face between the two legs, which seemed to be growing and seemed to be tied together... This is a picture that makes people feel extremely disobedient.

And at this time,

Put away the sound of snowflakes,

immediately,

The male voice who spoke earlier came out with some doubts:

"Hey... who are you?"

immediately,

"Where is this...?"

Karen looked up,

Start mobilizing all body sensations,

open your eyes

open your eyes

Open your eyes!

...

"Buzz!"

Karen opened her eyes.

He saw Aunt Mary squatting in front of him, looking at him anxiously.

"Hoo... ph... ph..."

Seeing Karen wake up, Aunt Mary sat down on the ground and kept patting her chest with her hands:

"Scared me to death, scared me to death, Karen... Do you know how scary it was when you suddenly fell down and passed out just now..."

This nephew just had a serious illness a while ago, and he almost died;

If anything happened at this time, Aunt Mary really didn't know how to explain to her father-in-law, because he still helped her to push the body down.

Karen took a deep breath,

With a forced smile,

road:

"It's okay, Auntie, maybe I'm still a little weak."

Karen looked up and saw Jeff's face on the stretcher in front of him, already straightened.

"Meow……"

A meow came from outside the aunt's studio, and the black cat "Pall" poked his head, looking at the situation inside with a bit of curiosity.

Karen put his hands on the ground and was about to stand up, but suddenly felt a little pain in his face, and then there was a surge of heat in his nasal cavity, and blood dripped out.

"I... I just patted you to wake you up." Aunt Mary explained.

This is called... pat?

But what can Karen say, he can only continue:

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Go up and rest, call Mina to clean up for you, you are not needed here anymore."

How dare Aunt Mary continue to let her eldest nephew stay here.

Karen nodded, stood up, and looked at Jeff lying on the stretcher. He instinctively felt that his previous sudden dream was related to this corpse, so he left his aunt here to work alone. Will she also be in danger?

At this time,

Cousin Lent's voice came from the revolving entrance of the basement:

"Mom, grandpa is back."

Grandpa is the absolute head of the family in the Inmeles family. Under normal circumstances, when he comes home, the family members, especially the women, have to come to greet him, even if...you are working.

Lunt ran over. He also saw the body on the stretcher, but he was not very scared.

Anything scary, after you've been in and out of your house a lot, you'll feel like it's nothing.

"Lent, take your brother to your sister's medicine kit to stop the bleeding." Mary ordered.

She was very worried that she would slap Karen's nose when she slapped him just now. If the nosebleed was not treated, it might not be able to stop.

"Oh, yes, mother, brother, come."

Karen raised his head, covered his nose with one hand, and was led by Lent with the other hand as he walked out. When he passed the rotary mouth, he felt a person standing in front of him.

The figure of that person is not very tall, but standing there, it gives people a very "steady" feeling, as if he can handle everything with ease.

Karen's restless mood was relieved a lot at this moment.

"Grandpa," Lunt called.

"Grandpa." Karen also called out.

In his memory, grandfather Diss Inmeles was a very serious person, but he often had a tender side when dealing with his "eldest grandson".

"Um."

Diss nodded, walked down, didn't say anything, and didn't comment on Karen's nose.

Lent seemed a little afraid of his grandfather, so he hurriedly took his brother by the hand and went to the second floor to find his sister.

The lights in the basement were dim.

When Diss went downstairs, he happened to see the black cat "Pall" walking gracefully in front of him.

Diss stopped.

The black cat also stopped.

"Are you free today?" Diess asked.

"Meow……"

The black cat Pall wagged his tail and tilted his head again, as if he didn't understand what Diss said.

Diss waved his hand, as if he was not interested in talking to another cat, and went straight to his daughter-in-law Mary's studio.

Mary was sitting there lighting a cigarette. She was in shock because of her nephew, but she didn't expect her father-in-law to come over so soon, so she was so frightened that she immediately extinguished the cigarette she just lit;

The smoke that was supposed to be blown out of the nostrils just overflowed a little, and then sucked back and swallowed.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Mary coughed up tears.

Diss didn't pay much attention to this daughter-in-law, but first set his eyes on Jeff. He stretched out his hand, opened Jeff's eyelids, and put his palm on Jeff's chest;

Immediately, Diss' gaze narrowed slightly.

Immediately afterwards,

He took another step back, as if looking at the environment in the studio, and sniffed.

Mary immediately said:

"I'll never smoke in the studio next time, never again..."

Mary was really afraid of this father-in-law, not only because the husband and wife were now "living under someone else's roof", but because her father-in-law himself was a... inexplicably frightening person, even though he was still a kind priest in the church on Mink Street.

Diss waved his hand.

asked:

"What just happened?"

"I... Karen passed out suddenly. I broke his nose to wake him up. I..."

"Karen passed out?"

"Yes, it is."

"And Pall came in, didn't he?"

"Pall?" Mary was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was the name of the black cat at home. She couldn't figure out why her father-in-law would give the cat such an ugly name.

"It seems... I..." Mary recalled as best she could, "Karen woke up by herself, Pall, Pall didn't come in."

Mary didn't pay attention to whether there was the black cat outside the studio earlier, but she was sure that the black cat didn't appear in front of her, at least, it didn't come in.

"No?" Diss seemed to be pondering, "Karen, did you wake up by yourself?"

"Yes, father."

"Where did he die?"

"This is the welfare bill, father, he probably died of freezing on the side of the road last night."

"Welfare bill? Call your man back."

"Mason went to Huashuiwan Sanatorium..."

"Call back."

"Yes, I see, Father."

Even though she has lived in this family for a long time, Mary still feels a kind of pressure when facing her father-in-law. Many daughter-in-laws in other families call their parents-in-law by their first names, but she never dares.

The title "Father" has some religious implications for her.

The daughter-in-law left the studio in a panic,

Diss reached out and closed the door,

Then he walked to the stretcher, sat down on the chair where Mary had been sitting before, and looked at Jeff lying in front of him.

In the working room, it became quiet, only the light bulb occasionally changed its brightness slightly due to the voltage.

Diss stretched out his hand,

hold in front of you,

from its feet,

A series of black shadows began to diffuse out, like wildly growing vines, and immediately spread all over the tiles and surrounding walls, "wrapping" everything here;

At this time,

Diss said:

"Tell me how you died."

It's a ridiculous scene where he's actually asking a dead man a question.

But then, an even more ridiculous scene appeared:

Jeff, who had been dead for a long time, was lying on the stretcher, and he sat up slowly by himself...

——

This "wake up" plot comes from my real experience, not a joke, if you have the same troubles, you can learn "The Internationale".

The original plan was to publish the book at noon, but I couldn't hold back the "reminder", so I sent it as soon as midnight, and I notified it three hours in advance. As a result, many relatives still stayed up all night with me to release the book at midnight. .

Very touched.

It is a great blessing and recognition as an author.

A new journey has begun, and I will try my best to write this story well with my writing skills and my best sincerity.

You are the stars above my head, because of you, the night is no longer lonely.
