Ape Dream 2
Ji Yunding stood up suddenly, and it seemed that something cold was hurt on his forehead. However, compared with the death experience just now, this was not a pain at all.
The smell of disinfectant...infirmary?
Ji Liuxing, who was standing in front of the bed, took two steps back, picked up the gloves on the table and put them on, then rubbed the fingers that had been hit just now without leaving any trace.
"Student Ji Yunding, how do you feel?"
"I'm involved in a strange story based on dreams. According to the strange statements in the story, the cause of the recent deaths of school students is related to it. Waking up seems to be able to temporarily escape from it. So far, I have experienced two ways of waking up - waking up normally and committing suicide in a dream."
Ji Yunding explained at a very fast speed, thought for a moment, and added,
"In addition, a related derivative monster has the ability to transform in dreams. The source of its information is currently unknown."
"I saw it all. You did a great job." Ji Liuxing looked down at Ji Yunding lying on the bed with mixed feelings. "Try to stay awake and wait for the results of the investigation team."
He couldn't save this student - this monster existed in a dimension he couldn't reach, and unless it came to him on its own initiative, he had no good way to deal with it and could only watch.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunding tilted his head and asked seriously, "Is there anyone else involved in this strange story?"
"Not yet. According to the information provided by Zheng Nuo, this strange story seems to only select one person at a time."
This can be roughly inferred by comparing the time of death of students who died in accidents.
"Then the only option now is to leave this task to me."
Hearing Ji Yunding's calm words, Ji Liuxing didn't know what to say for a moment - he saw with his own eyes that Ji Yunding struggled for nearly five minutes after his throat was cut before he died.
Ji Yunding stood up, opened the window and took a look at the scenery outside.
The sun is shining nicely today.
"I will survive." Ji Yunding stretched, as if he had just woken up from a comfortable sleep, "I want to eat potato cakes tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yunding fell forward. Fortunately, Ji Liuxing reacted quickly, immediately reached out to support her shoulders, and carefully put her back on the bed.
In the silent ward, Ji Liuxing looked at Ji Yunding who was once again caught up in a horrific dream, and his gaze stayed on him for ten seconds.
Only ten seconds. Then, he took off his right glove and lightly touched Ji Yunding's forehead with his fingertips, clearing his mind of complicated and unnecessary thoughts, closing his eyes and concentrating on observing this special weirdness.
………………
"Next, minced meat, minced meat—"
This time, when Ji Yunding opened his eyes, he was surrounded. Several little men around him, no taller than his knees, were grinning and approaching with knives in their hands. Ji Yunding observed for a moment, quickly captured the little man who was farthest from the other companions, snatched his knife, and ran away.
Running through each carriage, Ji Yunding tried hard to sort out the current situation.
First of all, "death" should be one of the keys to breaking this copy, but how to die is a big problem.
If you are killed by these monsters, you will probably have a heart attack in reality; if you commit suicide, you will temporarily return to the real world to catch your breath.
At present, the correct way to die has not yet appeared. Ji Yunding turned his thinking to the second rule - waiting patiently.
It is likely that over time, something will change on the train.
"So now we have to..."
Delay time.
Ji Yunding was talking halfway when he suddenly remembered the comments that Ji Liuxing had written earlier, so he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking to himself.
"Student Ji Yunding, did you remember me?" At the end of the carriage, "Ji Liuxing" waved his hand and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Do you want to embrace a peaceful death?"
Most people would be emotionally disturbed to some extent when facing a familiar face, but Ji Yun would definitely not be like that. He would only be glad that he had grabbed the weapon.
As mentioned before, Ji Yunding usually believes that a guy who needs to use roundabout means to deceive others usually cannot split her head open with one knife.
But the guy pretending to be Ji Liuxing didn't dodge or evade. He just smiled and watched Ji Yunding cut his neck with a knife.
The blood splashed on the golden hair, and Ji Yunding suddenly had an idea.
What a beautiful corpse.
"Team leader, I've been invaded by something weird. Please give me some medicine in reality. Thank you."
After muttering to himself, Ji Yunding felt that he couldn't help but want to put the corpse into a more perfect posture. He finally resisted the urge and turned around to continue running forward.
...something is wrong.
Ji Yunding suddenly realized that in addition to being eroded, there seemed to be other abnormalities in his condition.
When he entered the carriage for the first time, Ji Yunding was in a daze and had almost no idea what he was doing; the second time, his consciousness was a little clearer, but his body still had little ability to move.
But this time, not only was she able to run and jump, her thinking was not affected either, and she was even aware that she was being eroded.
In a more optimistic scenario, perhaps non-monster fatal deaths could strengthen Ji Yunding's ability in his dreams.
In a more pessimistic scenario, perhaps the boundary between dreams and reality is becoming increasingly unclear. This means that they can more easily affect Ji Yunding in reality.
But no matter what, Ji Yunding decided to go to the cockpit first - there must be new information there.
It seemed that in the next second after this thought, Ji Yunding saw a clean iron door that was out of tune with the environment. If anything, it was like a delicately framed Mona Lisa hanging in a shabby assembly line factory.
It was not until Ji Yunding kicked the iron door open that he realized belatedly that the iron door of the train cab probably could not be opened so easily.
After all, this is a dream.
Ji Yunding thought about it and just tried to convey the message by lip movements: "My consciousness can interfere here to some extent, but I don't know how it works."
As he spoke, Ji Yunding did not waste any time and quickly glanced at the cab before the monster behind him caught up.
Roulette, incomprehensible buttons and strange screens. Ji Yunding guessed that this was probably her stereotypical train cab.
There should be more rules here...
Turning his head, Ji Yunding discovered that a screen that was in his blind spot was flashing and displaying several rules.
【1. Remember that this is a dream.
2. Don’t fall into a deeper dream.
3. Dreams are the fulfillment of real desires. Find your truest desire and choose it. Before that, wait for it. 】
What does Ji Yunding want? To be honest, even she herself doesn't quite know.
There was silence in the carriage, as if even the weirdness was waiting for the answer to this question.
"Um...you are listening. First of all, can you please stop acting like a team leader?" Ji Yunding remembered that Zheng Nuo taught her every day to "learn to communicate", so she tried to ask.
Then she saw "Ji Liuxing" with blood on his hair walking in. For some reason, she actually saw a hint of helplessness on his strange face.
"Then just tell me what you want, and we can both save some trouble."
A very open conversation, very good, it turns out that communication is still necessary.
Ji Yunding nodded secretly and kept Zheng Nuo's teachings in mind.
"I'd like to ask you, why do you want to look like the team leader?" Ji Yunding scratched his head. "Although I respect the team leader very much, I can't be so indifferent when I see someone who looks like me."
It looked Ji Yunding up and down and sighed: "Who do you want? Just tell me, your favorite celebrity, virtual character, or fantasy character. If you are willing to embrace a peaceful death, everything is fine. Of course, other things are also fine."
"I was thinking, you're not the thing in this ghost story." Ji Yunding pointed behind it, and several little men with knives surrounded it. "They seem to want to hit you."
At the same time, Ji Yunding held the hilt of the knife tightly, ready to strike himself with the knife at any time if the situation turned bad.
"Smart kid, but I'm really here to help you." It smiled, seemingly not caring about those weirdos at all. "The night is coming, and only a long sleep can bring true relief."
After saying that, it handed a badge to Ji Yunding, bowed and saluted with a smile: "Anle Tomb is always waiting to accept you. You only need to hand over your body to us, and you will be free from all the pain."
Ji Yunding reached out to take the badge and looked down at it - it was a badge that made people feel a little uncomfortable. The background of the lower part was a hell of flesh and blood outlined with just a few strokes, while the top part was a smiling face that made people feel peaceful.
"You have experienced death once, so you should know how terrible this experience is." It patiently and kindly smiled with confidence, "In this strange story, you may have to fall into a cycle of death and endure this torture many times; or perhaps, you will die little by little in the most painful way while awake."
Ji Yunding felt that the words on the other side gradually turned into whispers in her ears, and the gentle voice lingered around her and enveloped her.
Pray to me, make a wish to me; embrace liberation, embrace death.
Come, come, speak your wish, and then nothing will exist anymore.
"I want to eat potato pancakes tomorrow." Ji Yunding yawned, "Or the day after tomorrow. There's no breakfast tomorrow, so I can get more sleep."
The whispering stopped abruptly. Of course, there is no future for the false liberation, let alone the so-called "tomorrow".
It stared with its eyes wide open, as if it couldn't believe that someone had rejected such a temptation. Then, warm blood surging with vitality splashed on its face.
Ji Yunding held on to his last breath and waved politely: "Sorry... I have something important to do. Excuse me."
"Don't you feel any pain?"
“How is this possible… It hurts so much…” Ji Yunding said as he pulled the knife out of his heart and stabbed it back in without hesitation until his body collapsed.
So cold...
