Chapter 115
The next day, I went to school as usual. The school was getting farther and farther away. I didn't know where I was until I came to a golden field. The sun was shining brightly, but when I looked up, the sky was covered with gray clouds. Suddenly, strong winds blew and it looked like it was going to rain. There was no one around, but shouts were heard in the distance.
"Put away the clothes quickly!"
"It's going to rain soon, why are you still running outside?"
"Wait a minute, I'll throw away this body and go home to eat!"
"Big yellow dog, go home, go home, why are you still running? If you keep running, be careful of being caught and eaten by dog traffickers! Come back!"
There seemed to be a small village over there, very noisy. I walked past the park unknowingly. The sky suddenly became bright, but it was only bright for a moment. Then it started to rain. It was a hazy drizzle at first, and with the breeze, it was even somewhat comfortable. However, I blinked my eyes and soon I was soaked by the gradually heavier rain.
The rain was getting heavier, and the wind was getting stronger. All I could hear was a rumbling sound. The sky was still bright, and it was getting brighter and brighter. However, no matter how I looked at it, it was not as bright and glorious as before, as if the sun had suddenly disappeared. I randomly found a roof to hide from the rain, and when I looked out, a cloud of water vapor came towards me, blowing in front of me like a facial beauty product.
Leyuan blinked and stepped back for a moment. Suddenly, she heard a sound behind her. She turned around and saw a pretty girl with bangs and a ponytail. She was wearing a white doll collar, puff sleeves, a loose and slightly puffy pink, yellow and white top, white shorts that covered her knees, and ordinary black plastic wedge-heeled shoes.
When she saw Le Yuan, she shuddered a little and ran to hide behind a pillar in the next room. Le Yuan asked, "Are you from here?"
The girl shook her head.
Leyuan asked again: "Do you live nearby?"
The girl still shook her head.
Seemingly not wanting to talk, Leyuan nodded, preparing to go out when the rain stopped. However, the wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger, and the sky stopped shining after reaching a certain brightness, and instead gradually darkened, as if today was about to end as it had just begun, because night was coming before the morning was over.
Leyuan frowned, thinking it was not good to stay here any longer, so he planned to leave. He turned around and wanted to say hello to the girl, in case she came out to look for him and didn't see him and thought something had happened, thus scaring him. However, after looking around, he didn't find him. Instead, he saw a Buddha cage on the wall, with a golden Buddha statue sitting inside. Perhaps because of the long time, it had turned a kind of earthy yellow.
The surface was not sure whether it was gold foil or yellow paint, but it was a little mottled, and part of it had cracked and fallen off, revealing the white filling inside. It looked like some kind of Guanyin soil, or like a part of the swollen skin of a corpse that died in the water. There was even pulsating bright red flesh and veins inside. Leyuan immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave, but he couldn't take his eyes away.
He moved closer, and with a bang, because he didn't look where he was going, he bumped into the table. The corner of the table was sharp, and he was hurt by the sudden impact. He came to his senses, turned around and was about to escape to the door, but suddenly he heard a beating heart behind him, which scared him. He was stunned for a moment, and the door slammed.
It seemed that the door was closed because of the heavy rain outside, but the sound, whether out of suspicion or because it was inherently strange, seemed a little angry when it was closed. After it was closed, there were sounds of people knocking on the door. At first there were only bang bang bang sounds, and then there were countless bang bang bang sounds mixed with the sound of many people talking.
Those people outside the door who should not exist were shouting towards the door. Leyuan could not hear clearly at first, but after listening carefully for a while, the voices suddenly became clear and penetrated directly into his mind and ears.
"Let us in! If we don't go in, we'll die! Please, have mercy! If we can't go in, it's the same as being dead. People are coming soon, they want to rip us open, we don't want to be killed, and we don't want to die so miserably. Please, please, open the door! Even if this door can't be blocked, it's better than a group of people dying outside!"
As if there was no answer, the person outside suddenly became angry.
"Alright! If you don't let us live, we won't let you have an easy time either! Don't you just want to hide in there and survive? Hahaha! When people come later, even if we die, we will definitely tell them that you are here, right inside. As long as they open the door, they can pull you all out and kill you! Kill! You must die with us!
Otherwise, how can we justify the fact that you have closed the door and not let us in? Hahaha! Go to hell!"
Leyuan took a breath of cool air. The Buddha statue behind him suddenly made a click sound, and the door slammed open again. This time, Leyuan saw the people outside. Those people were not entities, but shadows. A group of colorful and blurry human silhouettes walked, ran, crawled or flew in. The shouting was incessant, and Leyuan covered his ears.
I don't know when, the girl who had not been seen here before appeared again, she blinked her eyes, walked out from behind a pillar, wearing a red dress with big red flowers on it, the stamens of the flowers were tender yellow, and underneath were broad and thick green leaves, she looked gorgeous, charming and tempting, the spring scenery was irresistible.
That kind of clothes doesn't seem like something that can be produced in this village.
Paradise realized that there was some time and space confusion here.
But he was not so sure, so he hid under the table. It was an incense table used to enshrine the Buddha statue above, but it was empty, with nothing but dust, as if the Buddha statue here was very miserable and no offerings could be taken from it.
Leyuan blinked his eyes, slightly lifted the curtain and peeked out. He saw the girl suddenly bend down and approach him with her pale face. Leyuan was frightened and immediately dropped the curtain. He stepped back, touched a knife, turned around and saw that there was a dead person leaning against the wall. The person had turned into bones, and the skeleton turned into ashes when he touched it.
However, the clothes were still there. They were made of dark red and blue cloth and looked tattered. When he lifted them up slightly, the fabric revealed the tattered threads inside. They fell to the ground, splashing up dust, and almost made Leyuan cough. Although he didn't cough, his vision was blurred, his nose was red, and tears were squeezed into his eyes.
Leyuan rubbed her eyes and turned her head to avoid the dust. This time she was facing outwards. The curtain was lifted, revealing not the girl's face, but a skeleton and a figure that had been dead for a long time. They rushed over, and Leyuan screamed and died.
He suddenly straightened up from the bed and found that he had just had a dream. He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and was about to get out of bed to go to school. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and sat on the ground.
When he opened the bedroom, he felt strange because he didn't usually live in the bedroom, and it seemed as if there should be someone in the bedroom.
Leyuan opened the bedroom door hesitantly and walked out. There was a person behind her. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, combing her hair with a small green comb with her head tilted. Her hair was black and curly, and it was falling down little by little. A large clot had quickly fallen on the ground. She lowered her head to look at the ground and frowned. She was obviously very dissatisfied with the falling hair.
However, she couldn't pick up her hair from the floor and put it back on her head, so she said angrily, "Damn it! My hair is falling out every day. It's so annoying. Why isn't there someone or something in the world whose hair never falls out? It would be great if there was such a thing. I wouldn't have to worry so much. And I have to clean up. What a hassle."
Leyuan walked out of the bedroom and heard a sound inside. He turned around and saw a strange woman. He was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
The woman raised her head, showing a pale face to Leyuan, and said with a smile: "Don't you recognize me? I am your sister! Our parents are out, so I am here to take care of you."
Leyuan was stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to react and he murmured, "It shouldn't be like this. I'm an orphan. How can an orphan have a sister? Besides, an orphan can't have parents. If he has parents, he can't be an orphan. Then, there must be something wrong!"
He suddenly came to his senses and glanced at his sister. The woman was still smiling, but her face was gradually rotting. Her pale skin turned dark black, as if she had been poisoned by eating too many mulberries. Being looked at by Leyuan like this, her eyes rolled up, and she lay on the bed, turning into a pile of dirty water and died.
Leyuan ran out and wanted to open the door to leave, but the door was locked. Leyuan could only run to the balcony, look down, and see no one. He jumped down, fell to the ground and died.
When he died, he vaguely heard someone say something. Leyuan thought about it for a long time in confusion but couldn't figure it out.
When he blinked his eyes, he found himself on the bed again, in his own bedroom, lying under a quilt, sleeping. He slowly sat up and looked around. There was no woman around him. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to recall what had just happened.
In the first dream, he hardly remembered how he left the house, nor did he remember what he passed on the way, nor did he remember whether he saw the traffic lights and zebra crossings. When he remembered seeing the golden fields, they were already blurry. When he arrived at the small village, he was simply attracted to it. What attracted him was probably the Buddha statue on the wall when he was hiding from the rain.
The girl who appeared in that place had, without a doubt, the same face as the woman who appeared in the second dream. However, he was not aware of it in his dream. If he could realize this in his dream, he would probably be dead or about to wake up and enter the next level of dream.
The reason he said this is because he felt that he was still in a dream and had not gotten out. If he wanted to leave these layers of dreams, he needed to find the key to the problem. The sentence he heard before the end of the last dream was probably the key to the problem, at least one of the keys.
Leyuan began to ponder, what on earth was that thing he heard saying?
He suddenly remembered.
It was a man's voice, a middle-aged man's voice, shouting and laughing hoarsely and madly: "Die! Die!"
Paradise reminded me of the middle-aged man I saw at the door of a store while waiting for the traffic light on the road after school last time. Theoretically, as expected, the man should still be at the door of his own store, troubled by the billboard. Even if the billboard has been dealt with, it should be in the hospital rather than anywhere else. However, listening to the sound, why does it feel like the man is downstairs?
Paradise fell into confusion.
The middle-aged man didn't live on this road or in this building. He hadn't seen anyone here or nearby when he came back from going out before. How could he suddenly come here?
That doesn't make sense, and I've never heard of anyone living downstairs.
Especially——
The park is aware of the problem, especially the fact that the legend about the -18th floor is so scary that people who don't live there don't dare to get close to it. Even those who do live here know to go around it if they see it. The elevators will occasionally play pranks, but that's it. They won't deliberately kick the residents living here into the -18th floor, because if they are kicked out, the residents will become disposable.
The elevator is still waiting to play games with them, there is no reason to let them die one by one.
The middle-aged man provoked Leyuan on the road. Could it be that because he made too much noise and was too arrogant, the furniture and elevator in the building noticed it, so they dragged him over and threw him to the -18th floor as a punishment?
Although the park does not know the specific situation, it is very likely based on this guess.
He rubbed his eyes, and the door suddenly opened. A woman with delicate makeup came in. She was middle-aged and looked to be about 40 years old. But, in fact, she smiled at Leyuan and said, "You still don't recognize your mother? It's my birthday today. Can you guess how old I am? Can't guess? Oh! You don't even know this. I have raised you for so many years in vain. Today, I am 68 years old."
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed, her clothes swaying with her laughter. She looked really happy, but Paradise could not empathize with her.
Firstly, he was an orphan. Secondly, he had no special and real feelings about birthdays. It was as if he knew that there was such a thing in the world but it had nothing to do with him. To him, this thing was equivalent to not existing. Thirdly, he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not his relative, so he didn't care at all. He was just surprised by the mismatch in face and age.
The mismatch here means that she doesn't look sixty-eight at all, but more like forty-nine at most. She takes good care of herself, and her eyes don't look young either. But she's not young, and that's okay, because forty-nine is close to fifty, and if you're over half a hundred, it would look strange to look young.
Leyuan closed his eyes and asked, "So, what did you come here to tell me?"
The woman smiled and said, "You don't have to go to school today. I've asked for leave for you. You just need to stay at home and spend my birthday with me."
Leyuan looked unhappy, thinking, if I spend your birthday here with you, isn't that the same as waiting to die beside you?
We must find a way to leave this abominable and vicious dream as soon as possible!
The woman held Le Yuan and said, "Let's go. I've already prepared everything in the living room. You didn't know that? I ordered takeout, including bubble milk tea, milk tea, kiwi and mulberry drink, and two servings of fish-flavored shredded pork, cabbage, salted vegetables, and potato shreds with rice!"
Leyuan frowned and said, "It's not a good idea to eat such a rich meal so early in the morning, right?"
The woman glanced at him and laughed, "Oh, I never thought that you would lose your mind after sleeping for a while? It's already night time now."
Leyuan glanced out the window, and sure enough, it was already dark outside. He had thought it was going to rain when he saw it getting dark. After all, it was raining in his first dream as well. This little bit of color was nothing, but he did not expect that the day would pass so quickly, as if nothing had happened. However, looking at the dining table in front of him with the lights on and the food on the table, he could not say that everything was fine.
The woman pushed Leyuan down on the seat and sat opposite him. She opened the takeaway bag and box lid with a smile, handed it to Leyuan, and used a straw to pour the drink into Leyuan's drink cup. The drink flew out of the cup and splashed half of the woman's face. Leyuan took a look and the face quickly rotted. The drink turned blood red and looked inedible.
Leyuan paused when he took the food.
The woman smiled and urged Leyuan to eat it quickly: "Today is my birthday, you can't be so disrespectful to me."
Leyuan evaded the question, saying, "I want to drink. After all, it's my birthday. It only comes once a year, so it's okay to celebrate a little. Besides, I'm not going to school today. It's already night time. If I drink a little, I can go to sleep. I can go to school the next morning. I can be sure that I won't suffer from insomnia."
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."
Leyuan curled his lips and said, "I'm not thorough. Aren't you the one who is in charge of everything? How can I be thorough?"
There was a hint of resentment in these words, but suddenly the doorbell rang. Leyuan knew that there was no doorbell at home, and wondered where she was, so the woman got up and opened the door. Outside the door was a strange man in uniform, who handed the food to the woman and turned around to leave. The woman held him and kissed him, and then the man entered the elevator and they waved goodbye.
Leyuan's eyes widened, a little surprised. The woman came back carrying something. The things in her pocket were shaking and colliding with each other, making a tinkling sound, which seemed to be the glass of beer bottles hitting each other. Leyuan felt his throat getting a little dry. The woman sat down, opened her pocket, took out a bottle of beer from it, opened it, and gave Leyuan a bottle, saying with a smile: "The beer you asked for."
Leyuan asked, "Who was that person just now?"
The woman looked at him reproachfully and asked, "How come you can't even recognize your own stepfather?"
Leyuan murmured, "What the hell?!"
It's not that he didn't hear it clearly, but he found it too absurd and ridiculous, causing him to look like he was overheated and unable to think.
The woman took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Your stepfather! Your mother married your biological father, who was over fifty years old, at a very young age. Your father finally died, leaving us two with some benefits. We divided the property, and although we still live here now, we are already rich. It's no big deal for your mother to find a stepfather for you, right?"
Anyway, you're not going to marry me and you're not my biological son, so why do you care about all this?
Even if I were your mother, I am old enough to be worthy of your words! What are you afraid of? Could it be that——"
She smiled and moved closer to Leyuan. Leyuan wanted to stand up and avoid her, but was held down by her hand. Leyuan thought that he could not have a conflict with her for the time being, so he sat down. Who knew that the woman would wrap around him like a water snake, with one arm around Leyuan's neck and the other arm on Leyuan's shoulders. Her waist was thin and quite soft, with a bit of reed-like toughness, and she leaned against Leyuan.
Leyuan frowned and suddenly felt a strong smell of powder in her nose. She almost wanted to sneeze.
Maybe some people would think these are all fragrance, but Leyuan just felt like he was about to vomit and hoped that the woman would leave him as soon as possible, the farther the better.
He suddenly thought, at least, I wouldn't let myself be so sad.
Thinking of this, Leyuan was stunned for a moment, and gradually revealed a confused look, a little puzzled, thinking, strange, why did I suddenly think of this? It clearly has no beginning or end.
Seeing that Leyuan seemed to be distracted, the woman shook him unhappily, and Leyuan's attention returned. The woman tapped Leyuan's nose, and Leyuan leaned back, trying to avoid her fingers, but failed. The stool creaked and screamed in protest, and Leyuan had to stop to prevent the posture between them from becoming even weirder.
The woman lowered her head, almost as if she wanted to kiss him, and smiled slowly, "You are still a young boy. Do you think your aunt likes you like this? Forget it! You haven't finished studying yet. If anyone gets along with you, wouldn't he be sending himself to prison? I don't want to go to jail.
I tell you, if you make me unhappy, I will kick you out, and all you have to do is worry about whether you have a place to live!"
Leyuan blinked his eyes, suddenly realizing the mood of some people who were sneering at him, and curled his lips: "I know, if I leave here, I will have nowhere to stay."
But this residence is not yours, why are you so righteous?
Are you sick?
The woman touched Leyuan's forehead and stepped back.
Leyuan only remembered the woman's bright red lips, which were exceptionally gorgeous. It was as if a colorful poisonous snake suddenly emerged from the darkness and bit his neck. The wound soon turned green and blue, making it difficult for him to breathe and his blood to circulate. His neck could no longer support the weight of his head, so his head was cut off.
Le Yuan secretly shuddered.
The woman had already walked back, sat down, looked towards the amusement park, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't play with you anymore. The highlight of tonight is the birthday celebration. I still have a cake that hasn't been delivered yet. Wait a minute, when the cake comes, I want to eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it, but don't tell others and spoil the fun. Do you hear me?"
Leyuan nodded quietly.
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "Oh, you little kid, you are such a fool. If you don't know, you would think I tied you up with a rope and did something to you. Tell me, did I do anything to you? Why are you afraid of eating a cake? What? Are you allergic to cake? Don't worry, if you eat the cake and something happens, I will be the first to bear the brunt and will definitely send you to the hospital.
You won’t miss the chance to save time.”
Leyuan curled his lips and said, "Thank you."
He paused, wanting to add: "If you let me have an allergic reaction to cake and end up in the hospital, it would be despicable, regardless of whether I was rescued in the hospital or not."
The woman burst into laughter, slapped the table, lowered her head, and covered her abdomen, like a beautiful hissing snake about to fall off the wall: "You, you are really funny, you can make a joke. Hahaha! I thought you didn't care about these? I didn't expect that you would explain to me because of a sentence? Even funnier, hahaha!"
Leyuan sat helplessly opposite her and watched her continue laughing for a long time before she stopped.
"Eat something! Don't you want to drink? Now the bottle is in your hand, what else do you want?"
The woman supported her chin with one hand, looked at the park, and asked with her head tilted.
Leyuan's eyes fell on her neck. He felt something inside, like a worm crawling inside. He smiled and said, "Then I'll drink some."
After drinking, he felt sleepy, so Leyuan fell asleep gradually. He didn't know whether he fell asleep after or before dinner. When he rubbed his eyes and woke up again, he couldn't tell for a moment whether he was in a dream or after a dream.
He stayed in bed for a long time, and after washing up, he opened the door and walked out. He originally wanted to go to the small shop outside to buy some wine to drink at home, or to give it to a woman to drink to see if it would be poisonous or have other reactions. However, after buying the wine, he turned around, walked to the elevator door, and said to the elevator: "I want to go to the 18th floor. Is that okay?"
The elevator did not respond, and the door on the first floor opened. The person who opened the door looked at Leyuan strangely, as if he was trying to hold back a smile, turned his head, and quickly entered the room and did not come out again. However, Leyuan heard the man's voice floating out of the room, turning around the door, and floating into Leyuan's ears.
"It's so funny. You didn't know. You didn't see it. That person actually talked to the elevator. Who knew? Things can't talk. I thought only children didn't understand this. Even if a child didn't understand, he's not a child anymore. How could he still be like this? Is his brain not well developed? It's so funny, hahahaha, hahaha! You didn't see it!"
Leyuan frowned, the elevator door opened, and there was a loud bang, and the elevator door closed. Leyuan stayed in the elevator and waited for a while, watching the red numbers jump little by little and turn into the negative eighteenth floor. The elevator door gradually opened, but the elevator still didn't move. Just in case, Leyuan reached out and pressed the button to open the door.
He asked in the elevator: "Have you seen any middle-aged man here recently? I think he should be around here. If not here, I don't know where else I'm more likely to find him. What do you think? Have you suddenly become unable to speak? Is it true or false?"
The elevator didn't answer, and Paradise didn't see any colorful figures outside. He knew something was wrong, so he stretched out his hand and shook it. Colorful things suddenly appeared. Paradise asked, "What are you doing?"
They can't answer questions.
Paradise held the elevator and asked, "What are you doing?"
No answer.
Le Yuan asked, "Can you help me? Kill the thing inside. If you can, I will be safe. If not, make sure he can't get out again. Check him from head to toe inside and out. I want to confirm whether he has the chance to affect the people outside while he is here."
No answer.
However, a familiar scream of a middle-aged man came from inside, and a piece of meat fell at the elevator door. Leyuan looked down, nodded, and smiled, "Thank you."
The elevator door slowly closed. Paradise was inside the elevator, waving to the colors outside: "Goodbye!"
The shadow outside nodded.
The elevator door was completely closed. I returned to the first floor, and the elevator door opened. A person came in from outside. Leyuan moved aside a little, took a look at the brightness of the elevator button, and found that his position was indeed lit, so he did not move closer. Later, everyone who came in looked at the panel and pressed the button of the floor they wanted to go to. The elevator doors opened one by one, and they all walked out.
I don't know why, but the park feels more and more crowded.
He frowned and walked towards the elevator door uncomfortably. The elevator door opened and he walked out of Paradise. He immediately felt much more relaxed and was about to take out his key to open the door happily. However, suddenly there was a bang and the door was closed. It didn't seem like it was blown by the wind, but more like someone was holding the door with one hand and it was closed.
The door was closed, but it was not impossible to open it. However, the key that Paradise had just taken out of his pocket was snatched away. He still couldn't see the things or people around him, but the key was dangling in the air, like a protest by elementary school students.
Leyuan stood there motionless, just looking at the key. The key swayed in the air and was thrown under the window next to him. When Leyuan was about to go over to pick it up, the key flew up again, moved in front of Leyuan, flew out from the gap of the open staircase window, and disappeared.
Probably dropped downstairs.
"Forget it, you can open the door without a key."
Leyuan glanced downstairs nonchalantly, but didn't see the key there. He withdrew his gaze and was about to go back to the door of his house to open it. However, just as he turned his head, the glass of the window suddenly slammed and closed. If Leyuan's head was still there, it would probably have been broken by now.
"Problem."
Leyuan took a look, turned around, and continued walking upstairs. When he returned to the door of his house, he subconsciously wanted to find the key, but then he remembered that the key had gone downstairs. He pulled his hand out, knocked on the door, and said to the furniture inside, "Help, open the door."
The door opposite was suddenly opened, and the person inside came out, carrying a trash can, pressed the elevator button, looked at the amusement park standing next to him, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "Hey, what are you doing? Can't open the door? Make a phone call!"
As he spoke, he scanned the park and found that there was no key. His smile gradually became more sarcastic and he asked, "You can't make a phone call or don't have one? You probably don't have a phone! If you didn't have a phone, how did you get out by yourself? Your family is so poor that you have a place to live but don't have money to buy a separate mobile phone of your own? It's so funny."
Leyuan ignored him. The door opened, and there was furniture inside. Leyuan opened the door, and it creaked. The person next to him didn't look good. The elevator arrived at the destination, opened the door, and the man just walked in. With a bang, he fell down, breaking both legs. He cried out, as if something fell from a high place hit his neck, and he couldn't make any other sound.
I don't know if he's mute or dead, probably the latter.
Paradise glanced at the dark space of the elevator and said to the furniture who opened the door, "Thank you."
The furniture nodded, and Leyuan opened the door and entered the house. The neighbor seemed to have heard the sound of the door opening and started to curse again: "Fuck you, don't you have a brain or ears? Don't you know how to make the noise a little quieter? It's already night! What do you want to do?"
Before he finished speaking, the neighbor suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something he hadn't thought of before. He murmured, "Strange, it seems to be still daytime now, but I clearly feel that it has been dark, how can it still be daytime? Could it be that a whole day has passed without me noticing? Impossible! Impossible!"
There were bang bang bang sounds coming from next door.
Leyuan turned a deaf ear to them. After entering the house, she changed her shoes and prepared to wash up. After washing for a while, she walked out. The next door was quiet. Either they were asleep or still struggling with their own problems. Leyuan sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. The random TV series made a chirping sound, like a bubble filled with water that was about to burst but refused to rot.
Paradise gradually fell asleep amidst these sounds.
The middle-aged man appeared in his dream and shouted, "Do you think you went out to clean up late? No! Of course not! Don't think that if you kill me on the 18th floor, I will never look for you again! Impossible! You don't even know what I did!"
Paradise asked, "What did you do?"
The middle-aged man was as excited as someone who got 100 points on the test but was considered to have cheated. He shouted, "Hahaha! Have you heard of the Ten-turn Soul Dream Dragon? You have been hit! If you are hit by this thing, you will gradually get lost in the ten-level dream, forgetting your past, forgetting your name, until you forget your own life and die here, and you will never be able to leave.
You will become part of the dream!"
He raised his hands and shouted joyfully, "No one would have known that there is such a wonderful thing in the world! This is my heirloom. No, no, no, this is one of the dowry that my late wife brought with her. Who knows where it came from? Maybe she stole it, maybe she robbed it, or maybe she picked it up on the road. It doesn't matter. Now this thing is mine."
Not only is it mine, but after you die, I can get this thing again and use it to leave the 18th floor and go back to my place. I will severely torture that damn bitch's son. I hate him, I hate him so much, I must make him die in that store, otherwise, my store won't be so bright and beautiful, and I won't have so many goods. Isn't it great? Hahaha..."
He is crazy.
The park expressed regret: "Is that so? I understand."
The middle-aged man asked suspiciously, "Aren't you surprised?"
“I was surprised,” said Le Yuan.
The middle-aged man shouted, "Not at all! You don't look surprised! You're not surprised, why? I clearly didn't tell anyone about this thing. Even if someone knew, they would only know that I have an extraordinary treasure. Some mentally ill and extremely stupid people thought that the treasure I was talking about was my son, but of course he wasn't, but they didn't know.
They don’t know.”
The middle-aged man murmured, "Why don't you look like you don't know? Why!"
he shouted.
Leyuan replied: "Because I have not only come into contact with it today, but also in my dreams, I have come into contact with it more than once. If you still don't know after hearing what you have said, then you are really stupid."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. I am the smartest, I am the most amazing, I am the emperor of heaven, I am the Jade Emperor, I am incredible!"
Leyuan nodded perfunctorily, only calculating in his mind when this dream would end. It was obvious that this was not a dream he had after falling asleep due to being sleepy, but a dream formed under the guidance of a force and forcibly opened by someone else.
Those who come with evil intentions will not come, and those with good intentions will not come.
Le Yuan smiled and said, "You came to me just to tell me this?"
This sounds a bit provocative.
The middle-aged man was angry: "What are you talking about? What do you know!"
Rakuen nodded: "Of course I don't know anything. But it doesn't matter. You don't look like you know everything either."
This simply means that he knows nothing.
The middle-aged man suddenly felt even angrier than before: "How dare you?"
He flew towards paradise, and in mid-air, the dream ended.
Leyuan clapped her hands and thanked him: "If you weren't so excited, this dream wouldn't be so easily broken. Anyway, I'm going home now. All this is because of you. Thank you."
Before he finished speaking, the dream ended.
Paradise was still sitting on the bed, and a new day began.
A familiar curse came from the neighbor next door: "Fuck you! Shit! A pile of garbage! Go to hell! Go to hell! Ahhhh, you bastard, I will tear you apart sooner or later!"
After washing up in Paradise, I opened the door and prepared to go to school.
After the furniture said goodbye to him, Leyuan stood at the elevator door. The elevator door slowly opened. The elevator and Leyuan touched each other intimately, like a huge portable lazy sofa. Leyuan touched the railing of the elevator. The elevator door opened and she arrived at the first floor. Leyuan waved to the elevator and walked out. Today's route was normal. After passing the traffic lights, she arrived at the door of the store.
Leyuan turned his head and took a look. The store was still the same as it was last night, and the things inside were not placed in any different positions. Leyuan blinked, turned his head, watched the color of the traffic light change, walked across the zebra crossing, and suddenly found a pool of blood on the ground not far away. It should be the blood that flowed out after the middle-aged man was hit by the billboard last night.
Leyuan felt a little better and continued walking forward. When he stepped over the steps on the ground, he felt someone was staring at him. He turned around and saw a young man. This man looked almost exactly like the little boy from last night, but the size of his clothes was different and his shoes were also suitable. When Leyuan looked at him, he almost thought he was the little boy who was looking out of the glass last night.
However, it feels a bit contradictory, and it seems not to be the case.
Leyuan had no intention of asking questions. He glanced at him and then looked away, continuing to walk forward. He felt that he was about to be late. Asking others questions now might cause him to arrive at the classroom door even later. If he was late, he hoped that he would only be late for a second and miss his seat in the classroom, rather than being late for who knows how long before he appeared at the school gate.
Paradise quickened its pace.
The man had no intention of mingling with Leyuan. He walked to the door of the store, reached out his hand skillfully and naturally, opened the lock on the door, walked into the house, dragged out a chair, sat down, watched Leyuan walk away, and nodded slightly, as if he was greeting him as if they had known each other before.
Although Paradise didn't notice at all that he didn't have a second pair of eyes on the back of his head, when he walked on the road, he always wanted to look back, as he felt that the place behind him was more attractive to him than the school. But on second thought, this was normal. As a student, he should go to school and attend classes every day. There was really nothing special and interesting about him.
However, the store is not open every day, and the people are not the same every day. You don't have to go to the park. It's normal to have a little more interest than going to school.
Leyuan blinked, adjusted his mood, and walked to the school gate with a smile. The security guard appeared out of nowhere, held out his hand to him and said, "Student ID."
The park handed the item over. The security guard seemed to be in a bad mood today. After looking at it, he returned the item to the park and held out his hand again, saying, "ID card."
Leyuan frowned, feeling unhappy, but there was no need to quarrel with others over such a small matter, so she lowered her head and searched for her bag, but couldn't find it. Her first reaction was to raise her head and say to the security guard, "Forget it, I didn't bring it this time. Didn't you see me coming out of here yesterday?"
However, it seemed a bit perfunctory to say that after only searching for a while. In order to avoid misunderstandings and greater obstacles from the security guards, the park tried its best to search for a while, raised its head and said: "I didn't find it. Why don't you let me in today? When I find it later, I will definitely come to show you the first time. I came out from here yesterday, you know."
The security guard frowned, thinking that this was a bit like blaming himself for not doing a good job, and said angrily: "What do you know? If some bad guys sneak into the school with young elementary school students, it will be my fault. The higher-ups will hold me accountable, what should I do? Last night, since you want to talk about yesterday, fine, let me ask you, what happened yesterday, don't you know? And you still want to talk!"
Paradise asked, "What happened?"
The security guard said, "Something must have happened yesterday, that's why I asked you this. Since you can't tell me, you don't know. If you don't know, how can you dare to bring up what happened last night? Are you afraid that I can't expose your identity? I tell you, if you can't show it, I won't let you in! Now, hurry up and give me the thing. If you don't have it, go home and get it. If you can't show it, don't come in."
Leyuan's face fell, he put away the things in his hands, lowered his head, rummaged in his bag again, and found the ID card hidden under the small wallet in the gap of the package. He handed it to the security guard, who looked at it, snorted, handed it to him and said, "Since you have taken it out, you can go in. Don't be so forgetful next time. You clearly brought it with you, but you still say you don't have it.
This is because I am watching you. If your teacher saw you, he would definitely ask you why you lied! Do you think I am a good-tempered person? If you were not the same age as my son and you do not like to talk back, I would not bother to meddle in other people's business and talk nonsense with you. Do you know the good intentions of others? "
Leyuan thought, I am locked outside and locked inside, so I should thank you? Thank you for what? Thank you for not helping, not relaxing, not opening the door for me, not letting me walk, and you still say I am not doing well? Please! I am not sick.
But he didn't say anything, he just nodded.
The security guard opened the door and said, "You can go in."
Leyuan nodded and walked in, just in time to hear the school bell ringing inside.
Leyuan's face looked a little uglier than before. He lowered his head and walked in slowly, step by step. He felt that he was already late, so there was no need to rush. He was late anyway, and it made no difference in the eyes of others, and it made no difference in his own eyes, so he might as well not mention it.
"Why are you here just now?"
The teacher frowned and looked at the students at the classroom door.
Leyuan sighed inwardly, lowered his head and said, "I walked a little slowly."
I was stopped by the security guard at the door. I was looking for something and searched for a long time. If I wasn't looking for something, I would have come in a long time ago and I would definitely have made it in time. I don't know why, but I hate it every time.
The teacher was skeptical and frowned as she asked, "Where are your homework? Where is your schoolbag? Where are your notebooks and pens? Do you have them all? If not, you are late anyway, so go home and get them. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to teach you without your things. If you borrow someone else's things, it's not impossible, but think about it, others have to go to class too, and using the same thing as you will affect their concentration."
Leyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go home now and check if I left all my stuff with me."
The teacher nodded with satisfaction: "You can go back. Try to come back before my class is over. If you come back before another teacher's class, I won't be able to help you."
Leyuan nodded, turned around, and walked out tiredly, thinking, now I know why I'm not interested in school. If every day is like this, it would be strange if I was interested. This is not Stockholm.
He sighed again in his heart, and slowly walked downstairs. When he came to the security guard, the door was still closed. He looked at the security guard and said, "Sorry, I need to go home for a while."
The security guard held out his hand and asked, "Where's your request for leave? You haven't attended any classes yet? Are you leaving now? Why? I don't think you're feeling unwell."
Leyuan pulled the corners of his mouth and thought, if I just look in the mirror I know that I must look unhappy now, but you still think I am normal. I am normal because I didn’t go crazy, didn’t kill you all, and didn’t yell and swear at you. That’s why you think I have such a good temper. Oh, you don’t even think I have a good temper, you just think I am sick.
Hasn't it always been like this?
Leyuan smiled and said, "I don't have a leave application because I didn't ask for leave."
Before I could finish my words, the security guard flew into a rage and shouted, "How could you do this? How could you do such a thing? You are still a student! Students are not in school during class time and are determined to leave school and go home. What have you done? This is not okay. If there is something wrong, you should tell the teacher.
If you have nothing to do, go back now and maybe you will still have a chance to attend the class and the teacher won't be too angry with you.
If you waste time, it's your fault. Don't you realize the problem?"
Leyuan replied: "That's not what I meant. But the teacher just told me to go home."
The security guard started to yell as if he had caught me: "Why don't you have a note? If the teacher asked you to go home, you can't have one! How could you not have one? If you don't have one, you're lying! You're lying! You know lying is wrong, right? Are you sick? You really need to go to the hospital because you're acting so erratic."
Leyuan smiled and said, "I'm going to the hospital now, why don't you let me go out?"
The security guard shouted, "I am responsible for every student in the school, I am responsible for every person in the school, how can I let you out so easily? This shouldn't be! This is not normal! If you go out and get into trouble, it will be my responsibility, and you are not responsible, so of course you don't care."
Leyuan said, "No, I am not indifferent. I can take responsibility for myself. The so-called "I cannot take responsibility for myself" is purely your imagination. If it is not your imagination, you can only say that you are hallucinating. If you are sick, you still need to go to the hospital for treatment. Do you think it is better for you to go, or should I go?"
The security guard was confused: "What do you mean you go and I go? What nonsense are you talking about? I can't even hear what you are saying."
Paradise smiled and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
The security guard said, "What a coincidence. I don't understand what you are talking about."
Paradise said, "Then let's open the door and go our separate ways."
The security guard was fooled, and nodded as if he had become lame because of a crutch. He said obediently, "Okay, okay, I'll open the door for you. Wait a moment."
He opened the door, and Leyuan walked out. He suddenly reacted and shouted at Leyuan's back, "If you die outside, it's all your fault, you can't deny it! I tell you, if you do this again, I won't open the door for you next time. I will stop you inside even if I have to. Who do you think I am? Or who do you think I am? This is not a joke."
Leyuan smiled and said, "I know."
He walked to the store door and waited for the traffic light. The door of the store next to him opened and a young man walked out. He looked towards the park, sized him up and asked, "Are you going home? I just saw you walking past. What did you do?"
Leyuan glanced at him, not wanting to answer, but also not wanting to be scolded for being rude in public, so she smiled and said, "Oh, I went to school and have to go home now. My teacher asked me to go back and check something."
Be brief and to the point.
The young man nodded and asked, "What are you looking for? I may have it here. You can buy it and go back to school directly. Anyway, the school will not ask whether your things are new or not. As long as it can be used, it's fine, right? The teacher won't care too much."
Leyuan smiled bitterly and said, "The teacher won't care about these things, but when I went there today, I was late. The teacher will probably check carefully. In order to avoid any more problems, I have to go back and forth, back and forth again. I think it's better for me to go home and get the things myself."
The young man was not bothered and nodded and asked, "Where do you live? It seems not too close but not too far either."
Leyuan was wary of the people in this store. He glanced at him and said casually, "It's in the neighborhood near the next traffic light."
The young man nodded, thinking: "Is that so? OK, I understand. I wish you a safe journey."
Leyuan smiled and said, "It's such a short distance and we can't cross the ocean. What's the big deal about going with the wind?"
The young man just smiled and didn't answer.
The traffic light changed color.
Leyuan walked out and returned to the elevator door. The elevator door took Leyuan to the negative eighteenth floor and motioned him to look outside. He saw that the corpse had been twisted and turned into a rotten, colorful smoke-like human-shaped shadow. He nodded and said, "Thank you for helping to deal with the garbage. Living here is all thanks to your care. I already know what's going on. I want to go home."
Leyuan asked, "Can we go home now?"
The elevator door closed, and Leyuan was sent to his residence in an instant. Leyuan opened the door, nodded to the elevator, and went into the house. The furniture crowded around, wondering why he came back now. Leyuan smiled and explained what happened. The furniture returned to its original position, and everyone handed over some of their things to Leyuan, indicating that he should take the things away as a tool to deal with the teacher.
Leyuan thanked them again: "I understand. I will pay attention. I won't use yours this time. They are too new and the teacher might notice something wrong. I'll just use mine. Although I brought some with me, if the teacher thinks it's wrong, I can't do anything about it. I'll just change to another set."
The furniture nodded.
Leyuan took the things away and took the elevator to the first floor. The elevator took Leyuan directly to the gate of the community. Leyuan waved and the elevator went back. Leyuan passed the traffic lights and returned to the gate of the store. The young man had not gone back yet. He was standing at the gate of the store doing something, with his head down and his waist bent, as if he was studying a chair. I don’t know if there was something wrong with the chair.
As soon as the paradise appeared, he turned around and looked at it. He found that it was indeed the paradise. He waved his hand in surprise and said, "You are very fast."
Rakuen nodded.
The young man said, "I will be moving away in two days, and this store may be gone. It may also be sold to someone else, and then it won't be me who sees you."
Rakuen nodded.
The young man said, "I also heard a rumor that this place will become an empty lot in two days because someone wants to buy it to build a company. I don't know if it's true. However, if you believe everything you hear, you must be mentally ill."
Leyuan glanced at him and smiled, "Maybe."
The young man finally got an answer, stopped talking, nodded with satisfaction, and walked away with a smile.
Leyuan returned to school and asked the security guard to open the door. The security guard opened the door, but before he could say anything, Leyuan passed by him and walked into the teaching building. When he arrived at the classroom door, the bell just rang. The teacher packed up the things on the podium, turned around and saw Leyuan coming. He smiled and said to him, "Ah, you are finally here. If I didn't know you, I would think you have something against me."
Paradise didn't speak.
The teacher walked past him packing up her things and said with a smile, "My class is over. I have to go back to the office now. If you don't want to go, then go to the classroom by yourself. If you want to go with me, then you can go to the office with me."
Leyuan nodded and was about to enter the classroom. The people inside were staring at him. The classroom was filled with a strange atmosphere of tranquility before carnival and stability before storm. Leyuan left and followed the teacher to the office. The teacher sat down, took out his cell phone, took a look, looked up and asked Leyuan: "Do you want to call your family to let them know that you're at school?"
Paradise said, "I am an orphan."
The teacher nodded and said, "Oh, I forgot about that. Sorry. So what are you going to do here? How about I give you a make-up lesson? But I don't have enough time now. The next class will start soon. I can't let you talk to me alone here. I also have to attend other classes and can't wait for you all the time."
The teacher thought for a while and said, "How about this? After school, don't leave in a hurry. I will find a way to make up for it for you and you can leave soon. Take out all your homework at school and I will show it to you. If you can do it, you can write it here. If you can't do it, you can go home and think about it slowly. If you can think of it, fill it in. If you can't think of it, forget it and wait for the teacher to explain it to you."
What do you think?
