Dream of Death (XIV)
The clouds in the sky merge into the red flower fields, the air flows, and the flowers sway.
He Guang did a somersault and was now half-kneeling on the ground. The flower field in front of her was swept by red light, and petals fluttered down from the sky.
He Guang drew out the Exorcist Wu San and threw it with force. Wu San was like a sharp sword, attacking the girl in the red dress whose face could not be seen clearly due to the smoke.
The girl in the red dress laughed softly, "It's the same trick again."
She waved her sleeves, and the red light in her hand rose again, condensing into a force that smashed towards Wu San.
Wu San collided with the red light and exploded, instantly turning into scattered fragments, which looked like snow falling in the red spider lily field, and was extremely beautiful.
The system's voice sounded urgently, "Host, the lowest-level weapon can no longer help you. I will help you exchange it for a mid-level weapon."
It would rather exchange for a high-end, powerful item, but it didn't have enough points before bankruptcy, and it doesn't have enough now.
He Guang raised his head and said, "No need, I can still handle it now."
As he spoke, he jumped high into the air.
at the same time.
In the evening, You's aunt called and said that your aunt would not be back home that night, and asked You to go to bed early.
Nanzhou said that he came to accompany Youyi in the evening, but the other party went to take a shower, so he answered the phone. After hanging up, he felt that he had escaped another disaster.
He turned his head to look at Mo Liuying and found that she had fallen asleep on the table at some point.
Nan Zhou didn't call her. He took out a thin blanket from the bedside cabinet and put it on her. He watched over the three living people and prayed silently in the night.
When Mo Liuying felt herself getting more and more sleepy, she allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep. She did everything she could do while awake. She only expected dreams to bring some inspiration, but this dream made her even more confused.
She looked up and saw the sky covered with clouds, a brilliant red. Below her feet was an equally red field of flowers, with petals dancing in the air and a few sporadic flame-like lights streaking across the sky.
"Higanbana?" Mo Liuying murmured. She took two steps forward and saw a familiar figure walking from the end of the path. "He Guang?"
She was very surprised that the revelation of this dream was actually related to He Guang.
Why is it Heguang?
Her previous dreams were all related to the events at the time. For example, she dreamed of the Song sisters and the evil god in the villa. Another example was when Chen Mengze and his friends went to Xiaoqinghe Village, she dreamed of a red river.
So this time, what does the blooming red spider lily mean?
Is Kazuko's life in danger, or is she also involved in the incident of the dream of death?
Mo Liuying was in deep confusion, her brows furrowed.
"Waguang..."
Everything went dark before her eyes, and the scene around her turned into endless darkness. Before she could come to her senses, a little light appeared in front of her eyes.
When she looked up again, the clouds in the sky turned into a clear sky. Mo Liuying looked at the noisy crowd in a daze.
"This is……"
In the distance, there was a person sitting in the top floor window of the department store. She was standing far away, so one could only see that it was a girl.
This scene looked so familiar that Mo Liuying didn't need to identify it anymore, she already knew that this was the day when the girl jumped off the building and committed suicide.
The crowd around was surging, and the curses and urgings sounded like the laughter of demons.
Finally, the girl jumped from the building, determined not to turn back.
The crowd burst into even louder shouts, and only after the girl's body was carried away did they disperse with a sense of reluctance.
Mo Liuying became more and more confused. What did this dream want to tell me?
Just then, a very thin boy stumbled over from a distance, staring blankly at the large patch of dried blood in front of him.
"It's late. I'm sorry I'm late."
Mo Liuying's eyes moved slightly and she stared at the boy's face, as if she wanted to remember his appearance.
"you……"
As soon as she opened her mouth to say a word, the world began to spin in front of her eyes again. Many bizarre images flashed by, but when she looked closely, she saw that it was an unhappy episode in the life of a young boy.
The process was very long and yet seemed very short. In a trance, the scene before her eyes froze. She saw a school, a rather ordinary and old school with a swing set on a towering tree.
*
A faint white light gathered in He Guang's hand, and soon the light gathered into a ball of light. She held the ball of light, leaped into the air, and smashed it heavily at the girl in the red dress.
The girl used the red light in her hand to counteract the other, and the two powerful forces collided, and the arms of the two people that were resisting each other were separated in an instant.
As if the shock of a bomb explosion had passed, the girl pushed on her toes and like a ghost, she appeared in front of He Guang in a few flashes.
He Guang blocked the girl's high kick, grabbed her ankle and threw her out.
The girl's body flipped in the air and changed her posture. The red light gathered in her hand turned into a long sword this time.
She swung her sword down, and He Guang flipped backwards several times, and her feet stepped on the ground, creating several layers of dust.
[Did you see that? The anchor is indeed not an ordinary person]
I knew it.
[Oh my god, who on earth is this anchor?]
"It's okay!" He Guang said, and two short blades appeared in his hands. "This is something that anyone with any system of power can do. Shanzha has only been practicing spiritual power for a short time. He will be able to do it when he is older."
【Nonsense, why didn’t you use it before?】
[The host didn’t use all his strength when he beat up those ghosts before… This is the first time he used his own strength]
[Ghost: cried out with a woof]
[I also burst into tears, anchor, you made me worry so much]
"Yeah." Kazuhiko thought for a moment, "You can worry about me now. She's very strong."
After she finished speaking, she leaned forward slightly and rushed out as agilely as some kind of cat.
The light blades collided again, making a buzzing sound.
The two exchanged a few more moves, and as the light blades of both sides shattered, this fierce battle seemed to come to an end.
The audience found that the seemingly endless field of red spider lilies suddenly began to distort, as if a beautiful image began to disappear before the projection machine lost power.
[The situation does not look good]
[Stop hitting me, anchor, stop hitting me]
[Let’s run away first, it looks like this is going to end]
He Guang and the girl separated at the same time, their backs crossing each other.
The girl looked down at her hands that had become transparent, and finally said, "You should remember me. Aren't you surprised why I'm here?"
He Guang turned his back to her and reached out to catch the red spider lily that was blown up by the wind. "You constructed this field to fight me, wasn't it to stop me from interfering with your plan? Who sacrificed something to you this time?"
The girl in the red dress raised her head. "You are wronging me. After becoming a human, I no longer need to engage in unnecessary slaughter. This time I am only here to help a friend. You are here to save people. Do you think they are worth saving?"
"I came here just to save my friend." He Guang turned around, "But they came here to save people, so our goals are opposite. Do you also want to discuss right and wrong with me?"
The girl in the red dress also turned around, but she retreated step by step. As she retreated, her figure gradually became transparent, and the audience could not see her face clearly.
"No, I already knew that right and wrong have no meaning. But at the end of the story, there should always be a messenger of justice who brings victory to everyone, right?
You are a formidable opponent, I hope... we never have the chance to fight again."
The other side.
A thin boy was sitting on the swing, and a black cat was squatting at his feet. The cat arched its body and asked, "Outsider?"
The boy also cast his lifeless eyes over, and both the man and the cat could see her.
Mo Liuying stared at the boy's face, "Zhongli?"
The cat narrowed its golden eyes and asked, "How did you get in? Do you know him?" It looked Mo Liuying up and down with great vigilance.
Mo Liuying's mind raced, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she thought of the dream ghost that Shen Mengze mentioned when he recounted it, "Dream ghost?"
When the cat heard this, it immediately let out a sharp cry, as if it was ready to pounce at any time.
Mo Liuying was very calm. Combining her memories from before, she roughly knew what was going on. "You are Lai Keqi's friend. Is this your dream?"
Keqi is the name of the girl who jumped from the building. When Mo Liuying asked her men to investigate, she also included her classmates, and Zhongli in front of him was one of them.
When Zhongli heard Lai Keqi's name, his eyes finally showed a trace of fluctuation, "Are you here to stop me? It's too late, they will all die."
Mo Liuying thought it would be better if this misunderstanding continued for a while, so she said, "No matter how many people you kill, the dead can't come back."
"I want them to pay for their words. Don't they deserve to die?" Zhongli laughed bitterly.
"Damn it." Mo Liuying spoke her mind honestly, "When you do things, you always have to pay the price for your actions."
This answer was obviously beyond the expectations of the man and the cat. The cat sneered vigilantly, "Then why did you come?"
"Be loyal to the trust of others." Mo Liuying said. Although she didn't know why they thought she was an expert in saving people, it was better to continue this conversation. At least it could buy some time for Shen Mengze and the others. "My friend is in danger in order to save people. I can't just ignore it."
After she finished speaking, she felt that she was ending the topic, and quickly added, "It's just that I didn't expect to see the legendary dream ghost."
In fact, she had never even heard of this species a few hours ago, but it didn't matter.
The black cat snorted, "We dream ghosts always repay favors, unlike you humans, who are good at forcing your own kind to death."
It seems that Zhongli once had Enmenggui, so Menggui helped him create dreams to kill people, but Zhongli did this... She recalled the memory fragments she had just seen and quickly estimated it in her mind.
"Do you like Lai Keqi?"
Zhongli turned his head away and was silent for a while. He neither rejected nor answered. He seemed very tired and could fall asleep at any time.
Secret admirer.
Mo Liuying thought about this and wanted to say something to delay the topic, but she saw the black cat's fur suddenly stand up, "The dream is broken! No wonder you talked to us for so long, it turns out you were just trying to delay time."
Zhongli looked down at the black cat, "Are those people dead?"
Black Cat said angrily, "Dead." He turned to Mo Liuying and sneered, "You and your friend have worked in vain."
Mo Liuying was confused. She was both expectant and worried, but her face remained expressionless.
Zhongli was also indifferent when he heard this answer. He was too calm to be like an avenger. He had neither the joy of successful revenge nor the hysterical collapse and madness.
Perhaps this is what despair really looks like.
Mo Liuying sighed, "Since there is a dream ghost by your side, it shouldn't be difficult to see her soul, right?"
Zhongli lowered his head. "She has no attachment to this world, and she did not stay here after her death. I know she was extremely disappointed a long time ago, and I am doing this just to make myself happy. If I..."
If I could be braver and confess my feelings to her, would she stay with me for a little longer?
Some questions are destined to have no answers.
The most hysterical moment had passed, and now he only felt numbness and coldness in his heart.
"Heibao, give me the last dream and let's go! I have been repaying my gratitude for so many years, it is enough."
The black cat snorted coldly, jumped onto Zhongli's shoulder, raised its claws but still couldn't bear to scratch him, and patted his face with its soft paw pads.
"Then... goodbye. Hope you'll be reborn into a good family. I don't want to see a snotty-nosed person like you again in my next life."
Zhongli smiled gently and touched the cat's head, which was a feeling of sadness and the last bit of nostalgia.
Mo Liuying noticed something, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch the scenery in front of her change again like an indifferent spectator.
The morning breeze blew gently. Zhongli parked his bicycle, took the morning glory still covered with dew, and walked into the classroom.
A pretty girl was sitting next to the window. Zhongli walked up to her and handed her the flowers. The girl smiled and thanked him softly.
The two people smiled at each other, and their smile was brighter than the morning light.
