Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Xu Minglang took out one of the iron boxes, and tremblingly removed the lid, his heartbeat seemed to jump out of his throat.Just as he was about to put the film into the projector, the rollers of the projector suddenly started to move by themselves, and then a plainly decorated living room appeared on the curtain. The picture finally freezes in front of a table.For some reason, a middle-aged woman in a floral dress, one second she was gentle and gentle, the next second she suddenly pulled her face nervously, and said something terrifying to herself.

He was still thinking about who this person was, when suddenly he heard a small sniffing sound from the video, which made him stunned.

There was another person present...Zhou Xuerong was also there! !

Looking carefully at the face of the woman in the flower skirt, the nose and chin look a bit like Zhou Xuerong's.

Could it be that this woman is Zhou Xuerong's crazy mother?

Isn't she dead?How could it appear here?

Xu Minglang was so absorbed that he didn't notice that someone behind him was slowly approaching him...

"Are you so fascinated?"

"Ah!" Xu Minglang jumped up from the sofa in fright, and when he saw who it was, he was even blocked from breathing...

This man was a disheveled bum!

It took Xu Minglang a long time to pick up his vocal cords.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you here?"

The homeless man just laughed and approached him slowly, forcing him to sit back.

The homeless man was sitting next to him, not in a hurry to answer the question, but turned his head to look at the rummaged cabinet and said, "Are you satisfied with my collection?"

"who are you?"

"Why are you all so obsessed with this question?" The tramp shook his head and sighed, "Even you are so boring."

"You told Yu Haohuai that you were a god from another world. But God loves the world and would never commit such evil deeds."

"It's the loneliness that you don't understand God." The homeless man crossed his legs on the sofa and adjusted to a comfortable position. "If there are some of you like me who have endless lives and the ability to control everything in the universe. I believe you I also want to play something."

"So we are just toys in your eyes." It wasn't even a question.

"You're kind of smart."

Xu Minglang clenched his fists: "Why us? There are so many people in the world, why are there seven of us?"

The homeless man smacked his lips: "It's not seven of you. It's two of you."

Xu Minglang widened his eyes, looked at the homeless man and pointed to a cabinet and said, "Haven't you seen all the films in the cabinet? You don't want to know why only you and Zhou Xuerong have 63 boxes of films, and everyone else has [-] boxes of films." There's only one box, and you haven't even heard the names of most of them...."

Beads of sweat had already covered Xu Minglang's back, and he could feel the uneasiness in his heart becoming more and more vivid, like a distant scream from the other side of the mountain.

"Every box here is a revolving lantern video of one person. Tell me, why do you two have 63 boxes?"

"You're talking nonsense!!" Xu Minglang yelled and interrupted him, "If I really participated so many times, how could I not remember anything..."

Speaking of this, even he himself felt guilty. Since this tramp is omnipotent, erasing a person's memory is not difficult at all.

He thought of Zhou Xuerong's various weird behaviors, sometimes he could predict the future, but he always covered it up, saying that something terrible would happen.

"...Zhou Xuerong remembers everything, right?"

"Bingo~"

"You bastard!!! Why are you doing this?! Why are you doing this to him! He is already very unfortunate, why are you all bullying him!!"

"That's what you should ask yourself."

"What do you mean?"

The homeless man stretched out his dirty index finger and tapped on his forehead: "Look for yourself."

Xu Minglang suddenly had a splitting headache, and many strange images flooded into his head.

There were many he had seen in his dreams.The scene where he and Zhou Xuerong grew up, how they kissed, quarreled, and cried.He remembered Xue Yingying's death, and everything was salvaged from the deep well of memory and presented before his eyes.

"So those dreams were real..."

"Don't you really want to know why I chose you?"

Xu Minglang slumped to the ground.

"Because you are all regretful people, praying that your miserable life can be restarted. Whether it is Cao Jing who lost her beloved son, Yu Haohuai who killed a hostage by mistake, or Ye Jiawen who was expelled, each of them is very happy. Depressed."

"except you."

"The first time we met was on the flyover. You played the piano and sang every day, and I slept next to me, watching the mediocre mortals walking non-stop."

"But one day, you stopped coming suddenly. After that, you didn't come for a while, until one afternoon, you appeared again, looking very happy, singing as soon as you opened the piano case, after singing , you told me that you were hired by a record company, today is the last time you will sing here, and you are about to realize your dream."

"Your joy will be sprinkled on me. You told me that as long as you persevere with hope, life will eventually be rewarding. But I ask you, do you believe that there is insurmountable pain in this world, and there is no escape? Fate?"

The homeless man stroked his messy hair: "Guess how you answered?"

Xu Minglang's lips trembled.

"You said you believed in hope." The homeless man laughed, "You are more innocent than a child."

"You are a liar full of lies!" Xu Minglang wiped his face, stood up, his eyes bursting with anger, "You keep saying that we are all losers who long for a new life. But you are the one who caused all this Instigator!"

The tramp puts on the appearance of "willing to hear more about it".

"I've seen their video tapes. Ye Jiawen is still alive, so there is no tape. But it doesn't matter, because she told me everything."

"In everyone's past, there was a homeless man. It was this homeless man who stole the money Ye Jiawen used to go to college, and caused Cao Jing's son to be hit and killed by a car. He ran over to death, snatched Miao Fang's USB flash drive, and caused Yu Haohuai to kill the hostage with a single shot..."

"And Zhou Xuerong...I don't know how you did it, but you must have burned Grandpa Zhou to death, so that Zhou Xuerong lost the chance to have another family again!"

"As for me...you think that if you let Zhou Xuerong leave my world, I will go on another path and fall in love with the neighbor's childhood sweetheart, Xue Yingying."

"You messed up the fate of each of us and told us 'you deserved it' by the neck."

"It was you who changed our fate and imposed those sins on us."

"You can't fool me."

The homeless man applauds and changes the subject.

"Do you know a very interesting toy called 'Rubik's Cube'? In our time, this kind of toy had not been invented yet. The first time I played with it, I felt it was very fresh. In the long time, a total of 4325 billion I have tried all the combination methods. Then I discovered that the fate of people is the same. Sometimes even a small choice may change a person's life."

"Do you like the alternative life I created for you?"

"You fucking pervert!!! I'm going to kill you!" The killing intent made Xu Minglang's eyes turn red. He rushed forward regardless, but found that no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't get close to the homeless man. .It's as if a wall of air is constantly building up between them.

"I've said it before, I can manipulate everything, you better save it."

"Besides, if you kill me, your Xiaoxue will say goodbye to you too." The homeless man turned his head to look at the screen.It was only then that Xu Minglang realized that he turned his head and saw that the close-up of Zhou Xuerong was shown on the screen. His lower lip was trembling slightly, and his eyelids were still moist.

"Give me back Xiaoxue!!" Xu Minglang gritted his teeth and rushed forward, but the homeless man disappeared out of thin air. No matter how he searched, there was no sign of the homeless man in the room.

He could only look at the screen and shout: "Xiaoxue!! Can you hear me?"

The dark-haired young man on the screen is like the leading actor in a movie, with joys and sorrows that go with everyone's wishes.

Xu Minglang clenched his fists.

"This time, it's my turn to save you."

******

Zhou Mi's previous tenderness disappeared, her eyes were empty, and looking at Zhou Xuerong was like looking at a stranger.

The muscle on her necrotic side twitched unconsciously, and the frown muscle raised, Zhou Xuerong was very familiar with this expression.When I was a child, Zhou Mi would always make this expression before going crazy.

At this time, he couldn't hide, otherwise Zhou Mi would smash his door like crazy, drag him out from under the bed or table, and slap him harder.

But now, Zhou Xuerong was as tall as a small tree, and Zhou Mi couldn't reach his chin in front of him, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Zhou Mi kicked away the stool behind him, and Zhou Xuerong instinctively tensed up.

She is slowly approaching him.

Zhou Xuerong told himself not to move, Zhou Mi couldn't hurt him at all, but when Zhou Mi was one step away from him, he still couldn't help taking a step back.

This step symbolized his dignity and bottom line, which was easily drawn away again.

Zhou Mi didn't even look at him, but walked around him and walked out the door.After a while, there was a door opening in the next room.

Zhou Xuerong followed out, but instead of going to Zhou Mi's bedroom, he walked towards the door, wanting to leave.

Not surprisingly, the gate is gone.

He looked at the living room, and all the windows disappeared, and the entire space was sealed off.He quietly looked at Zhou Mi's bedroom through the crack of the door, even the windows in her room were gone.

Zhou Mi was just like when she was a child, sitting in front of her dressing mirror, playing with those bottles and cans, touching her face in front of the mirror.

Zhou Xuerong stared at it for a while, then pushed open the door.

"I'm leaving."

Zhou Mi stopped, looked at Zhou Xuerong's figure in the mirror, and asked in a strange tone: "Where are you going?"

"I want to go back to my world." Zhou Xuerong looked at Zhou Mi's mutilated face, the wound on it had become old, "I said, you are already dead."

"Really?" Zhou Mi slowly turned to him, "If I were in your heart, I would really be dead. I wouldn't be here."

Zhou Xuerong fanned her eyelashes slightly.

"Since you don't like me being too gentle to you..." Zhou Mi was playing with the glass bottle of lotion on the table, and suddenly threw it at Zhou Xuerong's head in the next second.

He blocked it with his arm, but his vision was blinded. When he noticed Zhou Mi rushing up, he had already fallen to the ground.

Still that familiar face, and a familiar smell.

Now that ferocious and broken face was entrenched on his head, and the raging hatred in his eyes seemed to burn him to death.

"You bastard! Beast! You little pervert who looks exactly like him!! How could I have given birth to you bastard!" Zhou Mi spoke the most vicious language in the world, and kept beating Zhou Xuerong's exposed parts, but he had already When he grew up, this crazy woman could no longer hurt him, so she used her teeth to bite Zhou Xuerong's ear again.

In an instant, the burning pain spread from the ears to the neck, and he pinched Zhou Mi's neck before removing her from his body.

He looked at Zhou Mi's eyes that were so chaotic that they couldn't focus, and wanted to say something, but he could only say "Don't do this" with a different tone.

The corners of Zhou Mi's mouth salivated, biting the air like a mad dog, as if he hated his own flesh and blood.

He lowered his head not to look at her, he was all too familiar with this scene.

Whenever this happened when he was a child, he would shrink into a ball and let her beat and scold him until he regained his composure.But now that he has grown up, he can easily suppress Zhou Mi, but his heart cannot resist the damage.Especially when he knew how gentle Zhou Mi would be if he hadn't encountered all that. The strong contrast intensified his pain and catalyzed his guilt.

He even started to think, is his existence a mistake as Zhou Mi said?

After a while, Zhou Xuerong felt that the strength of the struggle became weaker, and the rapid panting gradually weakened.

"...Did mom hurt you?" Zhou Mi's eyes were full of sadness. When she looked at him with such regret, she gently rubbed his ear, "I'm sorry, mom didn't mean it. Mom rubbed it for you." Knead it, okay..."

Zhou Xuerong's heart ached, his masseter muscles were tense, and he let Zhou Mi hold him, stroking his hair and back with the palm of his beating hand.For a moment, he felt that he was back when he was a child, he was still the boy who longed for a hug even if he was beaten by his mother.
