Ape Dream 4
The people behind him pushed Ji Yunding forward. The narrow train aisle made it impossible for Ji Yunding to avoid them. He could only watch himself being pushed to the murder site at the beginning of the dream.
The pile of meat that was first cut off during the Ling Chi process had already rotted. The buzzing of flies could be faintly heard, and if you looked closely you could see white maggots crawling around in it.
The eyes dug out from the ground stared straight at Ji Yunding, and the eyeballs moved with her steps.
The half-covered person was still wailing in pain. Seeing Ji Yunding coming over, she crawled forward and tried to grab her ankle and drag her.
"Sorry, that's rude."
Ji Yunding apologized, leaned over, grabbed the wrist of the man who was cut in half, threw him towards the villain with a knife, and then took advantage of this opportunity to continue fleeing forward.
But where to go?
So far, Ji Yunding still doesn't know what she is waiting for or how long she will have to wait. Although she has no physical problems in her dreams, she still feels tired from running all the time.
Besides, her mind was tired. It felt like struggling to survive in the middle of a desert—just moving forward aimlessly was enough to make one feel trapped and confused.
Ji Yunding slowly stopped and realized that he had shaken off his pursuers, and the surroundings returned to silence again.
Where to go?
An idea began to grow in Ji Yunding's heart - let's die again, die again and get out of here, at least things will change.
No, that's not right.
"Why should I kill myself? I've already done it."
Ji Yunding knocked his head, annoyed that he had fallen into the wrong logic for a moment. If he wanted to break the situation, he should at least try to do something different.
"So far, I haven't made any progress. I shouldn't die now." Ji Yunding found a seat and leaned back for a while, muttering to himself, "I can't be careless. I need to think carefully."
This weirdness was different from the ones she had encountered before—it was a special kind of spiritual weirdness. From the surface rules, it seemed that there were no flaws at all.
"I remember talking about this in class... Sorry, team leader, I'm used to talking to myself. I'll slowly change."
Ji Yunding apologized from a distance, then closed his mouth, stood quietly, and carefully recalled what had been taught in class.
The weird things that specialize in the mind usually hide themselves in the interlayer space between the alien plane and the real plane. Most of their bodies are fragile, but they are more harmful than ordinary weird things.
As we have learned in the basic course of general knowledge of the weird, most of the mental weirdness is strange and unpredictable, but it is not completely impossible to deal with. Once you grasp their vital points, they are like lambs with no power to resist. They are also difficult to deal with for those with strong wills.
So, let’s start with the weird body.
It was known that this was her dream. How to tell which one was the real outsider... This should be the main problem. Anything that did not belong to her dream should be a weird entity.
"Is it the train itself?" Ji Yunding thought for a while, shook his head, and was not ready to make a decision on this issue for the time being.
When I got on the bus, the broadcast said that we should try our best to observe the etiquette on the bus. Perhaps I should pay attention to this aspect as well.
Destroying a train is definitely against etiquette, but killing people... well, there doesn't seem to be a rule in etiquette that says "you can't kill people on a train."
Similarly, when people mention "car etiquette", no one would think of sitting on the roof of the car.
"Running and jumping shouldn't be allowed, and talking loudly isn't appropriate either, as it will dirty the ground... No, if you count it this way, I should have violated this rule many times since I entered the dream."
In other words, Ji Yunding should have paid the price for a minor violation, but Ji Yunding didn't know what he had paid.
"The first time, I didn't break the rules, so I woke up directly. The second time, I dropped the coffee cup to the ground and woke up by death. Since I fell asleep in class, Zheng Nuo should have shaken me off. This means that I couldn't be awakened by external forces at this time. The third time, I was running in the carriage, and Polar Night came to disrupt the situation, but let's not talk about it for now.
The fourth time… the carriage was full of little people, but they all disappeared after I went to the roof to see the scenery. After returning to the carriage, I heard a metallic knocking sound and was startled, and then abnormal phenomena appeared around me.
In this way, the price of breaking the rules is that the villain can influence Ji Yunding's dreams in more ways. But then, Ji Yunding had a new question - what is the purpose of the metal knocking sound?
Ji Yunding felt that he had vaguely sensed something, but he still lacked an opportunity to connect these ideas.
While thinking, Ji Yunding suddenly heard a voice in his ear.
“The ceiling fans would fall down.”
Ji Yunding was startled and instinctively pulled his body to sprint a few steps to the side. Then he saw a high-speed rotating fan hit the ground heavily, cutting the backrests of several seats.
Since elementary school, when Ji Yunding looked at the wobbly fan hanging from the ceiling, he had imagined: Ah, if this thing falls, it will grind me into pulp.
Having said that, how could there be fans on the train?
After staring at this inexplicable fan for a while, Ji Yunding suddenly laughed.
Yes, this is a dream.
The overly realistic physical sensations and pain, as well as the ever-approaching threat of life and death, can easily make people forget this. However, this nonsensical and dangerous fan suddenly made Ji Yunding realize that it was a weird parasite in her dream, and this place should still be her territory.
She had to hear it, have her imagination run wild, have her think that this place was scary and dangerous. Only when she "thought" so would it have the power to influence Ji Yunding.
The three people who lined up to die before Ji Yunding and the mysterious metal knocking sounds were probably meant to strengthen and activate the concept in Ji Yunding's mind: it's dangerous here.
"Team leader, there's nothing wrong with talking to yourself sometimes. Look, I'm not the only one who gets scared and makes mistakes in a hurry."
After saying this, Ji Yunding changed his mindset and walked more quickly. He soon found out from a corner...
“Although I did try to imagine that there would be a weapon here just now…” Ji Yunding muttered and weighed the chainsaw in his hand, “But isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?”
I have to say, the sense of security has indeed increased a lot, but if this is used, won’t the fighting scenes be a bit too bloody later?
Forget it. Ji Liuxing’s viewing experience is not within her consideration. Let the team leader be patient and find some weird trouble first.
But Ji Yunding walked through several carriages carrying a chainsaw and sighed.
What's the point of not being able to find someone when I need to? It's so annoying.
"There are sharp spikes on the ground."
When Ji Yunding heard this, he immediately stopped.
Although it was a lucid dream where one's wishes came true, the human mind was not something that could be completely controlled by reason. This weirdness obviously chose some easy-to-imagine objects, and just saying it made Ji Yunding unable to help but think about it.
It's like "don't imagine a pink elephant". The more you force yourself not to think about it, the easier it will be to make it appear clearly in your mind.
"But, I can hear you, so you must be near me."
Even if it wasn't there, it must have been there since Ji Yunding had this thought.
Ji Yunding closed his eyes, supported himself on the ground with one hand holding the chainsaw, and tried to catch the sounds around him with his ears.
After receiving the Screaming Blessing, Ji Yunding wanted to train his ability to locate objects by sound, but before he could fully practice it, he was dragged into a ghost story again.
On the luggage rack, moving towards this side, on the back of the chair...
The knife stabbed into Ji Yunding's left shoulder, and the chainsaw fell due to the pain. At the same time, Ji Yunding's right hand locked its throat.
"I got you."
Ji Yunding laughed, looked at the little man in tattered clothes in his hand, pressed it to the ground, and took away its knife again.
Is this the thing that broke into her dream?
In order to ensure the success rate, Ji Yunding didn't even dodge completely, just to catch it faster - anyway, the wound should be healed when he wakes up.
It opened its mouth as if it wanted to speak, but immediately felt the back of its head being lifted and pressed down with force, and its forehead hit the floor directly.
"Dying once hurts, you know that?" Ji Yunding's voice was very steady, not like he was angry at all, "You made me die twice."
As she spoke, she chopped off the little man's limbs with a knife, held it by its hair, hummed a song, and threw it around, not listening to what it said.
Blood splattered everywhere from the cuts on the limbs, and it was hard to tell who was the real weirdo in this scene.
After enough beating, Ji Yunding calmly held the villain's hair and smiled harmlessly: "I ask, you answer. Here, if I don't want you to die, you can't die, understand?"
Invading other people's dreams and constructing such bizarre stories with unequal amounts of information - possessing such capabilities would of course require it to take huge risks in some other area in exchange for balance.
In fact, Ji Yunding was theoretically invincible in this space. Ji Yunding suspected that if she had not violated the rules at the beginning, it might not even be able to hurt her in the dream.
But without such an if, no one can guarantee that they can always make the best choice. Therefore, Ji Yunding did not dwell too much on things that had not happened.
"You can talk, right? Tell me, do you know which students have accepted the proposal of that guy called 'Polar Night'?"
“…”
"I remember that you are not in the same group with him, so you probably want to negotiate terms. But I actually have plenty of time." Ji Yunding held the knife and looked at it, "Do you feel any pain?"
Adhering to the principle of "listen to advice and have enough food to eat", Ji Yunding accepted Ji Liuxing's suggestion that curiosity about weird things should be limited to how to use or eliminate them.
Suddenly there was a sound in the shadows. Ji Yunding immediately picked up the chainsaw and looked vigilantly at the corner where the sound came from.
What else?
