CHAPTER 4
This world is too dangerous! God, please let me go back!
Sheng Qing, still in shock, lay on the bed, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
An hour ago, Sheng Qing and Meng Yunxi reunited with the others before 3 a.m. without any major incidents and shared information. They then went their separate ways and returned to their respective rooms.
"Mommy, you smell different, I don't like it," the little girl complained, but buried her nose in Sheng Qing's neck and sniffed deeply.
Oh, is this little girl born in the Year of the Dog? Her nose is so sensitive!
It might be some unknown substance that got on it while I was out, but I've already washed it. Can I still smell it?
Sheng Qing gently pried open the little girl's head, pretending to be angry: "Your father smells nice, go find him."
Then she recalled Meng Yunxi's strange, hesitant expression as she walked towards the little girl's room after taking a bath. What did that mean?
"No, I want my mommy," the little girl pleaded, her voice trembling with tears.
"Okay, okay, Jiajia, let's go to sleep now." Sheng Qing yawned, her eyelids grew heavy, and she instantly fell asleep.
"Jiajia, loosen up a bit." Sheng Qing felt like she was suffocating. Her eyelids twitched slightly, and she reached out to try to move the arm in front of her away.
The next second I was jolted awake. This was no little girl's arm; it clearly belonged to an adult.
"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Meng Yunxi's muffled, still-unconscious voice came from beside me.
What the hell? Sheng Qing hurriedly threw off the covers and found herself lying in Meng Yunxi's arms!
Struggling to get up, Meng Yunxi refused to let go of her arms.
"Let go!" Sheng Qing couldn't help but wonder if this person had schizophrenia.
How come they are completely different people during the day and at night?
"Qingqing, you've been so cold to me lately. Is it because of Jiajia?" Meng Yunxi's tone was aggrieved.
"What happened to Jiajia?" Sheng Qing asked, puzzled. "Also, I clearly remember sleeping with Jiajia last night, so how did I end up here when I woke up?"
"I don't remember either. You were right next to me when I opened my eyes." Meng Yunxi seemed to be unaware of the reason either. She sighed and continued to explain, "As for Jiajia's matter, come with me."
Sheng Qing was still unable to calm down. He looked away from the accident investigation report in disbelief and stared at Meng Yunxi with astonishment.
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Sheng Qing's voice trembled.
"No, I know it must be hard for you to accept." Sheng Qing pushed away Meng Yunxi's hand, which she was trying to comfort.
"Impossible." The report slipped from Sheng Qing's hand and landed lightly on the ground.
How could the little girl who was sleeping with him last night, clinging tightly to him, have died in an accident three days ago?
"Jiajia's death is too heavy for you, and I have never been able to bear to shatter your illusions." Meng Yunxi said with a pained expression, stubbornly pulling Sheng Qing into her arms.
"Impossible!" Sheng Qing pushed Meng Yunxi aside and staggered towards the little girl's room. A doll lay alone on the bed, in the spot that originally belonged to the little girl.
Sheng Qing blinked, but all she saw was the doll. A cold sweat broke out on her back.
Was it really just a hallucination?
Sheng Qing recalled the suspicious looks and strange behavior of her neighbors when she went out yesterday.
However, the image of the little girl snuggling in his arms, acting spoiled and making a fuss, is still vivid in his mind.
Something's wrong with this world, something's very wrong!
If the little girl is an illusion, is the Meng Yunxi in front of us real, or could she also be an illusion?
Sheng Qing hugged his arms tightly, took a half step back, and looked at Meng Yunxi warily.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I'm here with you." Meng Yunxi's eyes were full of affection, but in Sheng Qing's eyes they appeared particularly cold and terrifying.
"Stay away from me," Sheng Qing said coldly. Then, after a moment's thought, regardless of whether it was true or not, she couldn't afford to clash with the person in front of her right now. So, her tone softened a bit, "Could you let me have some peace and quiet first?"
“Okay, I’ll be in the living room. Call me anytime if you need anything.” Meng Yunxi turned around.
"Wait a minute." Sheng Qing pointed to the doll on the bed. "Take it with you too." No matter how bold Sheng Qing was, she dared not share a room with the doll again.
Meng Yunxi took the doll off the bed and gently closed the door, leaving Sheng Qing alone in the dark room.
Sheng Qing sat on the edge of the bed, quickly reviewing the entire incident in her mind.
Was it just a simple hallucination?
A flash of inspiration struck Sheng Qing, who paused for a moment, trying to grasp it but it quickly vanished without a trace.
As Sheng Qing moved his body, the feeling of lightness and strength disappeared.
Then, he focused his attention on trying to draw out a cluster of flames, but the process, which he had mastered, suddenly went awry.
The magic has vanished?
Was everything last night just an illusion?
Perhaps everything we are experiencing right now is just an illusion?
In reality, his penis was still lying obediently on the hard bed in the dormitory.
Sheng Qing frantically rubbed her face, "God, please let me go!"
Half an hour later, with messy hair and a long face, Sheng Qing went out the door.
"Let's go outside and take a look." Whether it's a human or a ghost, we have to go and see what's in that white mist today.
"Do you want to go to the place where Jiajia had the accident?" Meng Yunxi asked with heartache, carefully smoothing Sheng Qing's hair.
"Yes." If this supposed accident site is real, Sheng Qing wouldn't mind taking a look. "Where is Jiajia buried?"
"I'll take you to see them all."
Meng Yunxi prepared her things methodically, and the two went out.
Sheng Qing began to suspect that this world was programmed, otherwise how could she have run into Xiang Wan and the other person again as soon as she stepped out?
"Qingqing, where are you going?" Xiang Wan warmly took Sheng Qing's arm and nodded to Meng Yunxi in greeting.
"Let's go out for a walk with Qingqing to help her relax," Meng Yunxi replied politely.
"Did you tell her?" Xiang Wan's husband gave Meng Yunxi a look and asked in a low voice.
Meng Yunxi nodded with a wry smile.
My condolences.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Sheng Qing walked straight towards the white mist outside the door without hesitation.
It was as if I had passed through a curtain of light as water, and the next second I arrived in a strange and vast place.
All sorts of strange-looking creatures, which Sheng Qing couldn't quite describe, suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"..." Sheng Qing froze on the spot, opened his mouth, but his throat tightened and he could not make a sound.
Something bumped into her back, and Sheng Qing barely managed to stand up. When she turned around, she found that Meng Yunxi had bumped into her.
Seemingly having encountered an obstacle, Meng Yunxi mechanically changed direction and continued forward.
"..." Sheng Qing grabbed Meng Yunxi, wanting to ask what happened, but forgot that he couldn't speak.
Sheng Qing observed carefully and saw that after Meng Yunxi was pulled, she obediently stood still, with a dazed expression. She also pulled Xiang Wan with her other hand, with the same dazed expression.
Sheng Qing was about to pull Xiang Wan's husband away when suddenly two huge black objects descended from the sky, precisely picking up a strangely shaped thing not far away, and then slowly sending it into a container that suddenly appeared in the sky and trembled like a black hole.
"Delicious." A strange voice echoed in his mind, followed by a murmur from every creature in the area.
"Delicious," came the exclamation from Meng Yunxi and the others.
So those creatures were saying it tasted good?
Before Sheng Qing could react, the black behemoth fell from the sky again, snatched a creature away, and put it into the black hole.
So we've been teleported to some monster's dining table? And those are chopsticks and a mouth?
The monsters began to eat faster, another creature met with misfortune, and once again, various ambiguous voices filled the arena.
"tasty."
"tasty!"
"Delicious!"
Even faster!
Sheng Qing's mind was filled with various ambiguous voices, and his eardrums were buzzing as if they were about to explode.
"Escape!" A sudden voice rang in Sheng Qing's mind. At the same time, he vaguely sensed a faint, cold, and sticky aura.
Sheng Qing snapped back to reality and carefully moved in the direction Meng Yunxi and Xiang Wanchao had come from.
"Huh?" A questioning voice appeared in my mind, and at the same time, a series of absent-minded voices echoed throughout the room.
Suddenly, two red eyes appeared in the sky, as dazzlingly red as the sun. Then, two dark clouds pressed down, scooping up the creatures on the ground like mischievous children playing with sand, and then dumping them into the pitch-black cave.
Once again, dark clouds loomed down. In the corner of her eye, Sheng Qing caught a glimpse of a man struggling between the monster's fingers. The stranger who was with Xiang Wan fell into the monster's gaping maw without any suspense the next second.
"Run!" The sudden voice rang in his mind again.
"Huh?"
The voice was ambiguous.
Sheng Qing could no longer care about anything else and pulled the two of them to sprint back the way they came.
"Bang!" Sheng Qing crashed headfirst into the glass door of the building entrance, and the familiar white mist appeared behind him.
They escaped!
"Qingqing! Are you alright?" Meng Yunxi's anxious voice came from beside her. Sheng Qing turned her head and saw Xiang Wan on her right.
fortunately!
"I'm sorry I couldn't save your husband." Sheng Qing rubbed her temples and looked at Xiang Wan apologetically.
"What are you talking about?" Xiang Wan asked, looking puzzled, and glanced at Meng Yunxi. "Where did I get a husband? Qingqing, are you dizzy from hitting your head?"
"Isn't he your husband?" Sheng Qing immediately showed a surprised expression, turned to look at Meng Yunxi on her left, who was looking at her with a worried expression.
"Who? I've always been alone." Xiang Wan's expression became even more puzzled.
"Qingqing, you must be mistaken." Meng Yunxi gently touched Sheng Qing's forehead where she had been bumped. "Let's go back and apply some medicine."
"Don't you remember what just happened?" Sheng Qing tried to evoke their memories. "That terrible, huge monster tried to eat us. Your husband was eaten by it."
"What on earth are you doing?" Xiang Wan's face showed anger.
"Miss Xiang, I'm so sorry, Qingqing may not have accepted Jiajia's situation yet, which is why she said some strange things," Meng Yunxi explained patiently.
"It's alright, I'll head back now." Xiang Wan's anger subsided, replaced by a sympathetic expression, as she said goodbye and left.
They don't remember anything? What kind of bizarre world have I come to?
Sheng Qing tried to remain calm, but the rapid beating of his heart and the involuntary chattering of his teeth entered his mind with unusual clarity.
A flash of white light appeared before my eyes, and then I fell straight to the ground.
