30 Cave 14 || Dream
"You'll know when you take a look later."
Yan Shuang agreed, "No one expected that he would be the first one to get into trouble."
Everyone thought that the first person to get into trouble would be Chen Rujing, or Ye Qi as well, but no one thought it would be Liu Hu.
Jing Ning shrugged and yawned, "Who knows? Luck is also a part of strength. Do you want to sleep?"
"Good night." Yan Shuang said.
"Good night." Jing Ning said.
This sleep was not a peaceful one. In his half-awake state, Yan Shuang smelled many odors that did not belong to this room. Every time he was about to wake up, Jing Ning would turn sideways and hold him in his arms. Yan Shuang would fall asleep again, smelling the woody fragrance.
When Yan Shuang woke up again, he was awakened by hunger. He looked at the time and it was already past three in the afternoon. No wonder he was hungry. They had not had a drop of water since they came back.
In this windowless room, if he didn't check the time, he wouldn't know how long he'd been in the game. If they didn't leave after seven days, they could say goodbye.
When Yan Shuang moved, Jing Ning also woke up. His arms were still on Yan Shuang, holding her naturally in his arms. He spoke with a thick nasal tone, "I'm so hungry!"
"I'll go outside to see if there's anything to eat." As he spoke, Yan Shuang had already stood up and walked towards the door. At this time, he was also very hungry.
The two woke up early and the doors of other rooms were closed. Yan Shuang walked around the corridor and prepared to go to the restaurant to look for Jing Ning and bring some food back.
As soon as I opened the door, I was startled by the dark shadow sitting in the restaurant.
Yan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly that the person sitting inside was Chen Rujing, "You haven't slept yet?" He looked haggard, his eyes were red, and there were two dark circles under his eyes.
Chen Rujing didn't expect the restaurant door to be opened suddenly, and was frightened. After seeing that it was Yan Shuang, he smiled bitterly and said, "Asleep... and woke up again."
Yan Shuang picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. It tasted surprisingly good. She would go back and bring a cup for Jing Ning to try. This game was quite human in that respect. You could always eat when you were hungry.
"Then why aren't you in your room? Why are you sitting here alone?" Yan Shuang asked when she felt less hungry.
"I, can't sleep."
"Hmm, try it." Yan Shuang gave him half of the bread.
Chen Rujing looked at the bread and found it tasteless, so she reluctantly took a small bite.
Yan Shuang had to say Jing Ning's famous words, "If the King of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, you won't live to see five o'clock. Just do your best."
"You have a really good attitude." Chen Rujing laughed silently.
"Look at those old people, who doesn't think the same way?" Yan Shuang patted the bread crumbs on her fingers and put the ones she was bringing back for Jing Ning back on a tray. "Eat them and then go back to sleep. It's still early."
"I don't dare go back to my room." Chen Rujing then explained why he was sitting here.
Yan Shuang stopped what he was doing and said "Hmm?" in confusion. Don't newcomers always think that it is safer inside the room than outside? Or is there something in his room that scares him?
Chen Rujing scratched her hair with her hand, looked around, and said in a low voice, "I had a dream. I was in the same room with Lei Daoquan, and I dreamed that he died."
Yan Shuang: "Dead? How did he die?"
Chen Rujing shuddered. "He died in the room. He was hanged... hanged."
Perhaps Liu Hu's death was too tragic, which left a deep impression on him. When he talked about hanging, he began to tremble all over.
"That dream was so real. There was so much blood everywhere, the whole bed was soaked in blood." Chen Rujing's eyes moved restlessly, her chest began to rise and fall violently, and every breath became heavy and labored. "His eyes were fixed on me, his mouth open, as if I had killed him."
"Then I woke up. I couldn't stay in the room any longer, and I didn't dare go outside. So I had no choice but to come here."
"How long have you been here?" Yan Shuang asked.
It’s not surprising that people would have similar dreams when they are suddenly stimulated, but don’t forget that this is a game!
"Around one o'clock," Chen Rujing said. "Actually, I initially thought it was just a physical shock."
Yan Shuang nodded, "I understand."
But Chen Rujing's next words made him fall into memories.
Chen Rujing said: "The strange thing is that I have had the same dream several times. I really can't stand it anymore."
Yan Shuang couldn't help but recall that she had smelled a strange smell several times when she was sleeping. She wondered if it was related to Chen Rujing's dream.
Yan Shuang returned to her room with a heavy heart.
"What took you so long? I thought you'd forgotten me!" Jing Ning ate the simple food he brought back and praised, "Have you eaten?"
"I ate it." Yan Shuang's mind was not here, she was completely digesting Chen Rujing's words.
"How come you lost your soul while eating?"
Yan Shuang: ...
"I have a feeling something is going to happen tonight." Yan Shuang said to him seriously.
"What night didn't it go wrong?" Jing Ning finished the rest of the milk in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said, "The milk you brought back today was especially sweet."
Yan Shuang was speechless for a moment, and whispered back, "The day before yesterday."
Jingning: ...
You are right.
"That's not what I meant. I ran into Chen Rujing at the restaurant and he told me he'd been having a very strange dream. He also seemed to be smelling a strange odor while sleeping," Yan Shuang explained. "At first I couldn't remember what the odor was, I just thought it was very familiar. After I came back and kept thinking about the dream he'd described, I realized it was blood mixed with burnt paper money. It was pretty unpleasant anyway."
Jing Ning was silent for a while before saying, "I'll go over and take a look."
"I'll go with you. Even though I can't help much now, I can still give you some advice. At least we can look after each other." Yan Shuang lowered her head. Although her thick black eyelashes were not curled, they were very dense and long, and she looked well-behaved.
Jing Ning smiled and said, "You are really cute sometimes."
Yan Shuang was puzzled, "Huh?"
Jing Ning moved his fingers, and finally couldn't help but pinch Yan Shuang's fair face, leaving a light red mark, and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."
Yan Shuang: “…” Come here, someone, I really want to do something.
A few minutes later, Jing Ning opened the lock skillfully and the two of them entered the room.
Lei Daoquan was also extremely tired and didn't notice anything.
"You slept soundly." Jing Ning complained.
Yan Shuang walked lightly and began to search the room thoroughly, but she didn't smell that smell either.
Jing Ning looked at Lei Daoquan lying on the bed for a while, then turned his gaze to the stone on the wall.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Eye Cream standing at the bathroom door, staring at the mirror for a long time without moving.
