Alice's Dream Club

At the end of the deserted street corner, Li Xiang saw a few very familiar figures—the "bully" who had just come looking for trouble.

But among these "bullies", another figure can be said to stand out from the crowd.

... It's Yu Wan!

Thinking of Yu Wan's "finding a place" just now, and seeing the picture of him alone among those people, Li Xiang wanted to rush out. No matter what, at least he wanted to help his few good friends, even if it was to suffer together. A beating.

But suddenly, he stopped.

Because he found that Yu Wan and those people were not hostile, but talking and laughing, as if they were very familiar.

At that time, Li Xiang felt that his head buzzed and became blank.

"what happened……"

In order to confirm that he is not delusional, and to prove that the friends in his heart are not what he thought, Li Xiang temporarily suppressed all distracting thoughts and got as close to those people as possible.

When he came to a place where he could hear several people talking, Li Xiang hid.

"You guys were a little heavy just now."

"That was your idea."

"Yeah, but what's your idea of ​​playing this game?"

"Of course it's a test, but it's a surprise to have money today." Looking at the direction he came from, Yu Wan waved, "Let's go first, and save that trash from chasing him and finding something."

After they finished speaking, they walked away quickly with their arms around each other.

Although he didn't hear much about the content, it was enough for Li Xiang to understand the truth of everything he had encountered up to now.

Why do I always get bullied by those people, why do I get blocked even if I take a detour, why... those people always appear when I have pocket money.

It's all because of him, because of Yu Wan who he considers a friend!

"I should have... thought of it..."

Suddenly recalling a sentence that Yu Wan accidentally mentioned just now, the regret of not discovering the truth in time filled his chest - he almost never went home with Yu Wan on the same road, let alone revealed where his home was and where he would go. I'm used to how to walk, but just now Yu Wan blurted out "Anyway, we're going along the way".

All the misfortunes are brought by this "friend", and all the pain is caused by this "friend".

Regret gradually only left hatred, and the malice accumulated in the bottom of my heart many times broke out at the same time at this moment.

However, Li Xiang couldn't figure out why this happened. It was too late to offend him, so why did he treat him like this?

Complicated emotions and chaotic thoughts occupied the brain, until a tear fell from the corner of his eye, Li Xiang didn't even figure out why.

Anger did not go to Li Xiang's mind, at least now he still has a trace of reason not to cause trouble for his parents, but the person who has always believed in him suddenly became the culprit who entrapped him, and everything that failed was at the hands of the person he trusted As a result, this kind of blow that almost turned the world upside down quickly eroded Li Xiang's last sanity.

He fell into despair, feeling that the whole world had darkened.

He didn't want to believe that that person had been hurting him all the time, and never regarded himself as a friend or as a person.

Sitting on the ground numbly, he only quietly got up when the sky became dark.

Li Xiang, who got up from the ground, was no longer as calm as before. All the youthful sunshine that should have appeared on the faces of high school students turned gloomy at this time, and the childishness belonging to his age was gone. He left the hiding place. Alley, he walked towards the building that he suddenly saw after being bullied for the first time and hiding in the room crying.

A school building that shouldn't be in a residential area.

Rather than a school building, in Li Xiang's view, it is more like a reformatory, a place specially used to supervise and correct those bad boys.

The current school building is more real than the illusory image that I occasionally saw in the past, it is located in front of me, the strict gate is closed, and the building with no sound or light exudes dead silence.

Li Xiang didn't know why he went there in such a chaotic situation. Normally, the sudden appearance of the school building would be enough to make him stay away, but now, he instinctively wanted to go there.

It seems that there is a voice in the chaotic thoughts, which is telling me that this place can satisfy all my wishes.

After struggling to open the iron gate and standing in the middle of the empty playground, Li Xiang suddenly felt a little more fearful.

Too strange.

But when I thought about the unfair treatment I had suffered and the fact that I was betrayed by the only person I trusted, the anger and despair dispelled the fear in my heart again.

If you can really get your wish here, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xiang walked towards the closed gate of the school building, pushed it open vigorously, and what caught his sight was a scene completely different from what he had imagined.

——A bar full of elegance and luxury?

No, not right.

Li Xiang thought to himself.

The bar will not look like this, the difference between the bar I imagined is too big, then here...

"Welcome to Alice's Dream Club, dear guest, are you a member of the club?"

The crisp and pleasant voice suddenly reverberated, and he suddenly looked in the direction of the voice, and suddenly there was an extra woman.

The woman looked about the same age as me, and even looked younger. Her appearance was so good that she couldn't feel the reality at all, as if she had come out of a fantasy world.

Li wanted to admit that the woman who greeted him made him look crazy, but what he cared more about now was her appearance.

Obviously, before the voice sounded, no one was here!

"You...are you a human or a ghost..."

The surging fear dissipated inexplicably when there was a sign of it. In this situation, Li Xiang felt that he should run away, but he had no desire to run away at all, not at all.

The other party didn't seem to want to answer her, she was just silent for a moment, and then guided herself.

"If the guest is here to trade, please wait here and prepare your chips, and then the master will come to trade with you."

After the female voice fell, Li Xiang walked towards a seat uncontrollably.

The emotion of fear is still completely impossible to emerge, and even after talking with that woman, the complicated thoughts have become calm.

He was forced to be seated, and a glass of milk appeared on the round table in front of him at some point. The uncontrollable feeling in his body had disappeared, and the glass of milk was steaming.

All emotions have turned into confusion and confusion at this time.

"What the hell is going on..."

"Of course it's what you think, my guest." Suddenly, a familiar voice came to my ears.

Li Xiang raised his head subconsciously to play, and there was actually a seat on the opposite table... himself! ?

"Guests don't have to be surprised, the image you see is what you want in your heart, and the place you come to is also the place you want to come to."

"I... don't quite understand..."

The opposite self showed a mature smile, that kind of smile seemed to have experienced vicissitudes of life, but this smile appeared on the same childish face as his own, which made Li Xiang feel very strange and uncomfortable.

A parchment scroll suddenly appeared on the table, and unintelligible words began to appear on the parchment scroll.

Although the text was incomprehensible, the content emerged in my mind.

"this……"

"This is the desire in your heart, and here is the place where your desire can be fulfilled, but to fulfill your desire, you need to pay some bargaining chips that you think are precious in exchange, of course, it is an equivalent exchange."

The other party's voice seemed to have a more magical power to calm the mood. The content that echoed in his mind was enough to frighten Li Xiang to flee immediately, but now he can face it easily.

Staring at the person who is exactly the same as himself, the conscience gradually wakes up under this tranquility.

"I... I actually... don't want... at least I don't want to cause death..."

"There is still plenty of time," the other party heard, "Guest, you can think and weigh slowly."

Time is not plentiful for Li Xiang. He is very clear about the weather when he regained consciousness in the alley. If he makes his parents worry, then with his ability to lie, his parents will definitely see something.

Closing his eyes and feeling the so-called "appeal content" in his mind, Li Xiang recalled his past encounters at the same time.

He really hated those who bullied him, and he did have the idea of ​​​​cutting them into pieces, but he never thought about doing it like this. Li Xiang just wanted them to pay back. Let them feel the pain of being bullied by themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang opened his eyes.

The appeal in his mind has become what he really wants. As for the bargaining chip, he believes that the appeal of "giving himself the courage to resist and returning these benefits to those people" can be anything, even if he takes it. It will not destroy the "equivalent exchange".

Because of this wish, he felt that it was not unreasonable.

A pen appeared in Li Xiang's hand. He knew that the parchment in front of him was the contract to complete the transaction. After hesitating for a while, he wrote his name on the signature position of the parchment.

When the pen was put down, the parchment burned by itself, and the scenery in front of Li Xiang gradually became illusory.

Shaking his head violently, he was surprised to find that he was still in that alley, the sky had not yet darkened, and everything he encountered just now was like a dream.

After being stunned for a while, Li Xiang slowly got up from the ground.

The content of the transaction reverberating in his mind told Li Xiang that the transaction just now existed, but he didn't feel any change in himself, and the current time felt that it didn't match the situation in his impression.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what was going on, until a voice interrupted his thoughts.
