The Midnight Owl

The crazy memory was broken. Finally, Xu Wang saw the face of the mother who had passed away. It was the only clear picture in the whole process.

The mother smiled, and time fixed her most beautiful moment.

Xu Wang woke up.

The dark grid has been out of the warehouse again, and the field of vision is pure white ceiling.

He sat up blankly, took off his helmet, and suddenly felt his cheeks cold. Raise your hand, wet.

He cried?

"You also have nightmares?" Qian Ai's voice came from next door.

Xu Wang turned his head, and his teammates, like himself, also sat up from the dark grid. At this time, they were sitting on the edge of the dark grid with their hands. It seems that they have "waited for a long time."

"I didn't have a nightmare." Xu Wang told the truth, he didn't want to speak, he was frightened, and his voice was so dumb.

"Come on, my eyes are all red like this, what embarrassment to admit." Qian Ai wiped his face and exhaled, "I also dreamed."

Xu Wang asked: "What do you dream of?"

Qian Ai said: "My dad lost his family's money when he was doing business, and every day the creditor came to the door. I didn't dare to go home from school, so I walked all over the street."

Xu Wang knew that Qian Ai was afraid of poverty and stole the door. His reputation for "love money" started in high school. But whether it was before or now, Qian Ai did not mention these things behind.

"How about you," Qian Ai asked busyly, "What did you dream of?"

Xu Wang did not hide from him and confessed: "My mother."

Qian Ai stunned, scolded himself in his heart, regretted asking.

Xu Wang did not know about his family, because when that happened, he was still in elementary school, and when he was in high school, he moved through the country early. He knew the death of Xu Wang's mother.

Looking at Qian Ai's expression that he couldn't slap himself, Xu Wang knew what he was thinking, and quickly helped his teammates: "I'm fine, really, I didn't lie to you, it was not a nightmare, it was just seeing my mother. "

Although Xu Wang believed that he was telling the truth, his red eyes and hoarse voice really weakened his persuasion.

The atmosphere was awkward. Fortunately, Wu Sheng's secret grid appeared on the opposite wall.

Like Xu Wang and Qian Ai, he sat up blankly and took off his helmet, but soon his eyes became clear again.

To the two pairs of questioning eyes, Wu Sheng frowned and said, "I seem to have ... a dream."

Xu Wang and Qian Ai nodded together and helped him stamp: "We have all dreamed."

When it comes to dreaming, it is actually more like a memory that has been sniffed and smashed by a person brutally. The pain of the brain being violated is even stronger than that brought by dreams.

"Is it deliberately letting us dream about the most uncomfortable thing?" Qian Ai took the lesson just now and didn't chase Wu Sheng's dream anymore, only guessing mumbling, "This is the content of this level?"

"It's not good to say." Wu Sheng raised his arm, and there was no new information in the head of the owl.

Xu Wang looked at the wall next to Wu Sheng, where there were two dark cells, lying Kang Jinxin and Chi Yingxue, but now, no one came out.

Doubts slowly rose from his heart.

If it is really like Qian Ai said, the dark grid makes people dream about the most uncomfortable past, Chi Yingxue ca n’t find out for a long time, it can still be explained that his past is too complicated, there may be too many scars, and it is not as easy as them to wake What about Jinxin? Xu Wang couldn't think of Jin Xin's sunny conditions. He could have any painful memories and held him.

"Bum--"

In the low-frequency vibration sound, Kang Jinxin's dark grid popped up.

He sat up slowly, but didn't take off his helmet for the first time. He was there to be blank and motionless, just like a man waking up, his soul still in his dream.

"Small situation?" Xu Wang whispered worriedly.

Useless.

Wu Sheng, who is adjacent to Kang Jinxin's secret grid, reached over and slowly laid it on his shoulder.

Kuang Jinxin's body shook gently, and finally, he lifted his hand to take off the helmet.

"I dreamed of my parents." He opened his mouth without anyone asking, his voice was dumb than Xu Wang's, his eyelashes were wet with tears, and there were teardrops hanging down his jaw.

Xu Wang, Qian Ai and Wu Sheng were there, not knowing how to answer the call.

"I haven't told you that my parents died when I was very young." He lowered his head, and seemed to be a little overwhelmed by these "concealments", "The car accident, my grandparents told me ..."

"But just now, I dreamed of the scene of the car accident." He suddenly looked up again. Although there was still sorrow in his eyes, he was more concerned about the present doubt. "It is not the real car accident scene. It is the one I always imagined. . "

"Imagine?" Wu Sheng felt like he could catch something.

"Yes." Kuang Jinxin nodded. "When I first learned about my parents' affairs, I often couldn't help thinking about the situation at that time. What I just dreamed about was that."

Wu Sheng thought for a moment: "Will these actually be your memories ..." He used his words carefully and tried not to mention the event itself. "It was just that you were too young at that time and forgot yourself?"

"Impossible." Kuang Jinxin shook his head without any hesitation. "The parents were in the field. It was two days after the family relatives rushed by. It was two days later. And no one took me there. My grandparents and I stayed at home. "

"I see it, like I said, whether it is true or false, it catches the most uncomfortable piece in your heart anyway!" Qian Ai pounded the dark edge angrily, "Boom".

[Owl: Builder, confirm! 】

The four partners suddenly remembered the reminder in their ears, and it almost seamlessly connected with Qian Ai.

Qian Ai looked down at the dark grid conditionedly, wondering if he had accidentally touched a voice button.

Wu Sheng, Xu Wang, and Kuang Jinxin looked at the only dark cell that did not come out, Chi Yingxue.

What builder? How did you confirm?

[Owl: Everyone has a dark room ...]

The sound in the ear suddenly lightened, as if to coax you and tell you a sweet bedtime story.

[Owl: There is what this person fears most, the deepest fear. After the helmet screening, the person with the most exciting, gorgeous and dark room will automatically become the builder. Everything you meet next is the playground he built for you ...]

[Owl: Welcome, baby, **** in your head. 】

The tone disappeared, and the world suddenly dimmed, as if all the lights were turned off at once.

Even the air was still, so quiet that he could hear the breath of his teammates.

In the brain, hell.

Xu Wang rolled these four words in his heart, and finally picked up the missing piece—the last picture that had just stayed in her head. It was her mother smiling, but just under her, it was a hospital bed.

Suddenly the support under him disappeared, and Xu Wang fell off the ground unexpectedly.

There were also three "dongs" next to the ears, and apparently all the friends also encountered the same.

A little light slowly penetrated into the field of vision.

Light, bright, and slightly cool.

Xu Wang raised his head, it was the moon, and most of it was covered by dark clouds, leaving only a narrow edge, struggling to shed light.

What space capsule, what dark grid, all disappear, now they are under a hazy night.

Qian Ai is not as literary and artistic as Captain. After seeing a little bit of light, she looks at the left and right surroundings. At first glance, she is stunned: "This is ... Xiao Xue's mind?"

A high courtyard surrounded by a vermilion gate, standing quietly in front of the four friends, standing quietly in the wilderness.

There are no alleys around, no streets, no roads, no flowers and willows. This yard is like being moved from the most prosperous part of Beijing City into this wilderness, and like a female ghost who made it for a student phantom.

The courtyard door is very new. The vermilion paint can still glow in the faint moonlight.

A pair of stone drums in front of the door, the light is too dark to see clearly what was carved on it, but the drum body has no trace of weathering, and the carvings are still clear and the color is clean.

Wu Sheng was the first to walk to the gate. He originally wanted to take a closer look, but he looked up inadvertently, but he was stunned: "There is a surveillance camera ..."

The three immediately gathered together. Sure enough, a defensive camera was installed in the corner of the eaves, facing the gate, and whoever came to visit was absolutely invisible.

Siheyuan with camera?

"Xiao Xue thought about something in his head every day ..." Qian Ai was completely ashamed.

Wu Sheng pressed his lips tightly, thinking about whether to knock or break, but the door opened.

Qian Aiguo shut his mouth shut, and the others also breathed without any movement.

Inside the door, a brick carved shadow wall comes into view, and the carved crane stands on the pine branch-Songhe Yannian.

In the courtyard house of old Beijing, the entrance is not a courtyard. The shadow wall is set up first, blocking the wind and the wind, and also blocking the imp, because it is said that the imp does not know how to turn and only takes a straight path.

The door on the left is the real front yard.

Entering the front yard, the sense of disobedience that is indistinguishable from ancient to modern has finally disappeared.

This is a renovated modern courtyard house, and it hasn't run away. The front yard is clean and tidy, and the decoration is very simple. Basically, it still maintains the original appearance of the old mansion, but the doors and windows and the details of all the places are already modern crafts.

I do n’t know if it ’s because of the darkness. It looks so bright and clean everywhere. The whole house is still gloomy.

In the front yard, a row of sitting rooms facing south and north was used by people to live in ancient times. At this time, two middle-aged men were playing chess in front of the door. The other hand is used to play.

The buddies crept into the courtyard, not daring to go any further, stood still six or seven meters away, and looked at the two men quietly.

As if he could feel the sight, the two men turned their heads at the same time.

The man carrying the pruning shears frowned first, and his tone was bad: "Who are you?"

As soon as the voice fell, the four friends suddenly received a "ding--"

: Looking for Chi Yingxue.

The hearts of the four partners, southeast and northwest, finally caught a trace of direction.

Although it's still foggy, at least, I know what the mission is.

Seeing that the man's expression became more and more impatient, Xu Wang quickly said: "We are looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?" The other one also stood up, the car key on his finger still whirling around in circles, "Who?"

It is completely unclear what is happening now and how to progress. Xu Wang decided to take a straight punch, maybe what clues could be made: "Chi Yingxue, let's find Chi Yingxue."

The car key and the pruning shears froze together: "Looking for young master?"

The four partners were caught off guard and stupid.

Young Master?

Is this ... Chi Yingxue's home? !
