Let her come back
She smiled in a friendly manner, as if she was saying hello, but the four of them felt a chill down their spines!
The tall figure standing by the window with his back to the moonlight couldn't see his face clearly, but he tilted his head in obvious thought, then nodded to himself and said, "Change this question next time."
"What about this one?" the person who first raised the question screamed again, "Are we just going to ignore her this time?!"
Horrified and angry, he screamed, "This isn't fair!!"
"You could have done the same thing as her before." The figure with his back to the moonlight glanced at him, "Why? You can't think of it?"
The man who was screaming angrily shut his mouth instantly. In the darkness, one could vaguely see his face turning redder and redder.
Furniture was knocked over and over rapidly, gold and jade clashed, fragments flew everywhere, and were crushed by the noisy footsteps in a panic or violent manner.
On the other side, as if isolated by an invisible force, the girl in white slowly moved towards the wall, leaned against the headboard with her back, smiled, and looked at them quietly.
Ping pong, clang clang clang——
“Hu, hu, hu…”
In the darkness, white mist was exhaled from their mouths one after another, and the four people were spread out far apart from each other as if they were acting independently.
In their hands, they each held long wooden chair legs, a handful of chopsticks, incense sticks, gold and jade knives, forks, bowls and plates, long white gauze cloths and porcelain bottles, supporting themselves or guarding against others.
"It's over, it's over! Stop fighting!"
Someone shouted in panic:
"We can all survive, so why fight to the death?!"
The other three remained silent, their bodies still tense, and they even clenched the objects in their hands even tighter.
The girl hurriedly looked at the figure with his back to the moonlight and hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and tell me! This is over!!"
The figure with his back to the moonlight raised his hand and pointed at the clock beside him, then slowly spoke:
"Yes, this game is over."
The figure sighed again, "What a pity everyone, you can't stay and rest, you must rush to the next game as soon as possible."
"Bang!" "Ding! Crash!" All the things that several people were holding tightly in their hands fell to the ground.
They gasped for breath and didn't listen to what the figure said. They shouted, "Finally, it's finally over..." "I survived, I survived, haha!"
"Let's go. Let's go to the next game location together." They straightened up, their eyes filled with sweat and tears, and said to each other, "Let's work together to get on the road!"
As they spoke, they walked out of the room without even looking at the girl on the other side, as if they had already forgotten her existence.
Suddenly, a silver-white flash passed by, and the delicate and beautiful knife spun, "whoosh--" it sank into the flesh and blood, and a scarlet dot rose up.
The astonished man suddenly raised his hands to cover his neck, and a pair of golden knives and forks slipped out of his sleeves and fell with a "clang".
"ah--"
There was another scream, and the sounds of hurried or steady footsteps, and furniture being thrown and overturned mixed together, making the dilapidated room noisy.
“Ping pong pong——” “Clang clang clang——!”
"The game is over, why are you..."
Some people fell down in fear and screamed.
"The game isn't over yet."
The girl who first shouted to stop had a cold face, and the silver knife in her hand spun rapidly, suddenly stabbing it into the throat of someone who rushed over to her.
In the peaceful area opposite to the chaos, the girl in white leaning against the headboard remained quiet, watching the changing scene in front of her with a smile.
The man standing with his back to the moonlight glanced at her and said, "Miss, let me remind you..."
"Bang!"
In the darkness, a sharp, silver-white object rapidly approached, then flashed past. Jiang Jingyuan smiled and didn't react. The moment the silver-white object flew before her, she saw clearly that it was a kitchen knife, flashing a cold light.
She was beheaded with a kitchen knife.
The pure white suddenly spread into a large area of dark red.
"Ah, it seems I don't need to remind you." The man with his back to the moonlight sighed slowly.
The people who were fighting suddenly stopped and looked over with their eyes wide open in shock. In an instant, the blood in their throats surged more and more violently.
"Whose kitchen knife is this?!"
"Who did it?"
They suddenly turned their heads and glared at each other, unable to believe that the strange girl in white had her head chopped off so casually.
One of them gaped in shock. It was his kitchen knife, but he hadn't meant to chop her. The force was so strong that the knife flew out of his hand, and just like that, he had chopped her down?
The person involved suddenly felt the absurdity of this world.
"I'm dead..."
"I'm dead, I'm dead?!"
Above them, above the entire room, above the world, a boundless consciousness suddenly awakened.
The invisible and boundless Jiang Jingyuan looked down at them below, feeling extremely frightened.
She was uncontrollably immersed in the great fear of "I am dead", forgetting herself and the dream.
She was terrified, but amidst her fear, she suddenly discovered...
She seemed to know what everyone below was thinking and feeling except the figure with its back to the moonlight.
It’s not about listening or watching, but a kind of synchronization of empathy.
Their panic, helplessness, worry and fear aroused a dense tingling and itching in their flesh and blood, and a tightness in their hearts.
Jiang Jingyuan sensed them, but she would not - she would not even think of herself as them or forget herself.
Won't.
She was still frightened of herself.
"Everyone, the game is over." The figure with his back to the moonlight said, "This time it's really over."
He remained fixed in place, looking at the four people in front of him, and said:
"Your reward: a wish."
Above.
A feeling that seemed vague yet obvious emerged. Jiang Jingyuan didn't know why, but he felt that the four people below were affected by his fear.
They actually gritted their teeth and hesitated for a while, then looked at the figure, raised their hands and pointed at the figure at the head of the bed, and said in unison:
"Let her come back."
The figure with his back to the moonlight nodded slightly and agreed——
"good."
Well... then she lived.
Jiang Jingyuan slumped sideways on the bed, a blank expression on her face, a piece of the quilt in her arms, her cheek buried in the pillow. She felt as if she were floating in the endless darkness while still in the mansion.
She closed her eyes and didn't open them, but her mind was in a daze and she couldn't recover.
"Hello!"
Not far away, a familiar voice suddenly shouted—
“It’s getting dark!!”
She was instantly startled, and the boundless darkness shook violently.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't respond, but came back to his senses and felt that he was still in the house and in the vague and endless darkness.
The familiar voice didn't urge her any further, and she wandered in the endless darkness for a while, thinking, "If there's one, there's another. I'll get up and eat first, and come back to check in the evening..."
She succeeded anyway.
So Jiang Jingyuan slowly let himself land on the ground, stayed in bed for a while, and then opened his eyes.
During dinner.
"You..." The little red-haired fox looked at her several times and said hesitantly, "You seem to be in a good mood?"
More than good...
The little fox looked at the girl opposite. She didn't complain, but ate more of everything. There was no laziness on her face, but a strange smile.
“This is delicious.”
She even praised it, but that dish was clearly the one she had said was unpalatable but Fox thought was delicious!
The little fox paused with his chopsticks, feeling uneasy.
"Yeah." Jiang Jingyuan smiled and nodded when he heard the question, and said frankly, "I'm in a good mood."
Could it be that just letting her dream for a day would really make her so happy?! Sheng Liang was shocked and uneasy for a moment.
After a long silence, the little fox said nothing and silently lowered his head to continue eating. Isn't it better for Jiang Jingyuan to be happy than unhappy?!
Jiang Jingyuan was in a good mood.
…………
However.
A month later.
A young girl was lying lazily on the rocking chair. She was wearing a light dress like spring. The dress was mostly light gray or white, with light purple and light green, and was accessorized with small and exquisite gold ornaments.
In contrast to her bright dress, her face was numb and her eyes were dull.
"I was wrong... I regret it..."
Jiang Jingyuan was desperate.
She thought she had taken a big step forward, and even if she didn't succeed once or twice, or even for a day or two, she would definitely be able to master the ability to shuttle and transform quickly...
Then, a month passed and she still hadn't had that kind of travel experience again.
"If I had known earlier, I should have played more back then..." Jiang Jingyuan thought sadly, "I'm still eating, what am I eating..."
Over the past month, she'd always felt herself about to fall onto that invisible line, only to be suddenly scattered. She'd tried again and again to recreate that feeling, pondering it over and over again, when she suddenly realized something strange, but not a problem—
"At that time, were my eyes open or closed?"
At that time, she fell there in boredom and daze, the scenes in front of her eyes were distorted and changed, and she knew very clearly that she was awake during the whole process and did not experience the hazy confusion of dreams.
Jiang Jingyuan later recalled that he subconsciously thought that his eyes were open at that time, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was not right.
How could she see the scene inside the house so clearly without opening her eyes? But if she did… she couldn't pinpoint what felt strange, she just wondered, wouldn't my eyes feel sore if they were open? Wouldn't I just close them quickly without realizing it?
After hesitating for a moment, she stopped worrying about it - compared to the instant travel in the dream, what was so strange about her having her eyes open or closed at that time?
"Why couldn't I do it later..." Jiang Jingyuan thought worriedly, but he also noticed some key problems.
At that time, she did it completely unintentionally, which means that at that time, she achieved a state of relaxation and dullness, an empty mind, and no obsession or deliberate desire.
Her subsequent attempts were all extremely deliberate and persistent. She was deliberately relaxing and letting go, so that she would always disperse when approaching that line.
Even if you try too hard and too deliberately, it still gives you a headache!
After understanding this, Jiang Jingyuan had been worrying for nearly half a month: "But, how can I achieve not being deliberate and not being obsessed...?"
Jiang Jingyuan fell into the rocking chair and sighed for the umpteenth time.
Suddenly, a familiar fiery red figure appeared in the field of vision.
The little red fox walked over slowly and glanced at her. "Are you still thinking about it?"
Jiang Jingyuan sighed again and said "hmm".
She couldn't tell Jiang Jingjian and the others about these things, and they were even less likely to give any useful advice. She could only tell Sheng Liang.
"Although I haven't seen it," Sheng Liang said, "I know that the key to all of this is the same thing."
Jiang Jingyuan sighed without looking up at it.
Sheng Liang said: "It mostly happens when one is completely disappointed."
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at it.
The little fox looked at her seriously and said, "Because only at this time, people will stop being obsessed and suddenly relax completely. Once they accept it, they will feel relaxed, peaceful and casual."
