Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Xu Minglang didn't react for a moment, and even when he saw the pink banknotes, he was still thinking "Where did you get the money?", recalling the self-introductions made by everyone when they first met, including the things everyone lost , and Ye Jiawen lost 5000 yuan.

Xu Minglang couldn't figure it out. If they were really playing the so-called "game" that person said in this fucking world, then Ye Jiawen should be the winner. She passed the test and won the reward, so why hasn't she responded? To the original world?

Seeing that Xu Minglang understood what she meant, Ye Jiawen pulled up her pocket, and continued, "Actually, I made the worst guess, I might never go back..."

"How is it possible, don't think too much." Xu Minglang interrupted the girl and comforted her.

Ye Jiawen shook her head, pulled the messy hair around her mouth behind her ears, and continued, "Actually, there are a lot of things I haven't said. I'm afraid I'll be ashamed, but I'm willing to believe you because you're a good person..."

After being issued a good person card by a pretty girl, Xu Minglang smiled wryly.

Ye Jiawen didn't know what a good person card was. She said without changing her face: "My family treats me very badly, and my classmates always bully me. My greatest wish is to be admitted to university and then stay far away from home... My family won't allow me to leave marina, but if I do stay, I'll just face hell and my life will be ruined... Anyway, I need some money to pay for college, I've already saved up from work Yes! But then it was stolen...The college entrance examination is coming soon, I don't have so much time to save money from scratch..." The girl raised her eyes to see Xu Minglang's reaction when she said this.

Xu Minglang was already a little sleepy at this time, but his eyes were clear and determined, and he didn't show any resentment at all.He pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that the other party could continue.

"...I did some disgraceful things, made a lot of money in a short time, and then I was found out. The school and my family knew about it, I was expelled from school, and my family felt ashamed of me " Ye Jiawen made a relaxed smile, "This is the end, I can no longer live the life I want, but at least I still have the money, as long as I have money, I can leave Binhai and go to a brand new place, start over."

"It turns out that this money is so important to you."

"Well. But what I really want to say is that the fears I encountered in that space were all based on my experience, and the nightmares I was most afraid of facing. I was really scared to death. Describe my fear, which I never got over until the end..."

"Don't think too much about it. It's all over. It's normal for people to be afraid."

"No." The girl denied with some excitement, "This is too abnormal. If I haven't overcome my fear in the end, how can I pass the test? Remember what I said, when the voice asked me to tell You conveyed 'his' words, I think Zhou Xuerong was right, the only reason I survived was to spread fear to you, to make you afraid."

Xu Minglang frowned, recalling whether Zhou Xuerong had said these words, and why he didn't talk much, but he could get to the point every time.

Ye Jiawen murmured a little choked up from the opposite side: "I have known since I was a child that I have to fight for everything by myself, but I always feel that I may be unlucky, otherwise how could it be... No matter how hard I work..."

Ye Jiawen looked at Xu Minglang with shining eyes, her nose was red from crying, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like her last pride.

Xu Minglang couldn't fully understand how a young girl could be in such pain. In comparison, his life was so lucky. However, he had the love of his parents and the company of his childhood sweetheart since he was a child, and he was also clever. The school always exists like a pistachio, and there are friends wherever he goes. There has never been a moment of despair in his life. Even in the current situation, he firmly believes that he can overcome everything, find Xue Yingying, and return to the original place together. world go.

Xu Minglang twirled the ring on his middle finger, then raised the back of his hand and shook it, and said to the girl, "This ring was originally a pair. I bought it for my girlfriend's engagement ring."

Ye Jiawen opened her eyes slightly.

"It's not silver, it's platinum. The women's model is not as plain as the one I have. There's a big diamond on it. It's a thief."

Xu Minglang clarified pretending to be serious, which made the girl smile through tears.

Xu Minglang said in a slow tone: "On the night my girlfriend disappeared, she even cooked a table of dishes for me, but the person who turned around disappeared. It was a disappearance in various senses. Except for me, everyone I don't remember her anymore, the things she used, the photos of her, all disappeared... So I must win her back, we will return to the original world together, and I will put a ring on her with my own hands. Although some words are vulgar, they are rough and reasonable. As long as people are alive, there is hope. There is nothing you can't achieve with hard work. If this one doesn't work, there will be another one. Don't think too pessimistically about things, everything will be fine of."

"Then have you ever thought about it, if you really can't save your girlfriend..."

Xu Minglang withdrew his numb hand from the back of his head, changed to face up and said, "I never thought about such a thing, I have confidence."

The summer kingdom logo is printed in ink on the roof of the cabin. The cartoon clown smiles stiffly in the dim light. The white part is treated with fluorescent light, and the whites of the eyes and teeth reflect a faint green.

Xu Minglang closed his eyes in disgust.

***

In the dark night, Miao Fang was walking through the forest alone. In order to cover up his footprints, he would rather get his coat wet in the snow and his cheeks scratched by dead branches in the woods.He had an old disease in his left leg, and he was destined to be unable to run as fast as a normal person, so he decided to hide in a secret place and stay until everything was over.

Relying on his memory, Miao Fang remembered that there was a river in the "Magic Forest", and there was a gondola project there. The bridge hole and the cabin would be natural shelters, and no one would think that he was hiding there.

Five minutes ago, Miao Fang told the middle-aged man with a big belly this idea, hoping that the two of them could go there together, but Zhao Dongxiang felt that it was too far away, and instead thought that the most dangerous places were often safer.Zhao Dongxiang wanted to go around the intersection from the top of the hill and walk in the direction of the van. There was a gift shop there, which could not only keep warm but also facilitate hiding.

Both Miao Fang and Zhao Dongxiang felt that the other was suicidal, so they broke up immediately, and each tried to survive.

The road to the gondola was longer than expected, and Miao Fang thought it was the price he paid for going around the mountain.Fortunately, the hill he was standing on was high enough for him to have a glimpse of the scenery below. A long river ran through the two play areas, and the warm lights sprinkled finely on the river surface, like sugar crystals about to melt on a donut.

"London Bridge is falling, falling, falling. London Bridge is falling, my fair lady."

"Did you hear...it's the sound of a pickup truck..." Cao Jing whispered.It was dark around her, and there was a faint sweet smell, like the fragrance used in the lobby of a hotel.

In the dark, a man grabbed her hand and said to her, "What pickup truck? It's just you and me here. You have a fever, and all you hear is hallucinations. Shhh—don't talk, it's not safe here."

Cao Jing's whole body was sore and weak, and her joints were even more sore and swollen. Coupled with the cold, she let out an unbearable groan.She knew it was time to find her son, but her body would not allow her to do so.She could only shake those hands behind her back and say, "Please, take me to find Lele, okay?"

Yu Haohuai was already exhausted, but the woman's begging made him even more irritable. In order to make the woman shut up, he perfunctoryly said, "Okay, okay, but not now..."

Cao Jing began to sob.

"Hush—" Yu Haohuai covered Cao Jing's mouth, looking out the window vigilantly.The mist blurred the glass, making the outside world look strange.

They had just escaped danger 10 minutes ago. Cao Jing had a high fever and couldn't take care of herself, and she was clamoring to find her son. Yu Haohuai agreed in a moment of resignation.But in fact, he couldn't take an adult woman with him in such a situation, so Yu Haohuai decided to help Cao Jing go back to the car first.

However, when he finally walked back to the original point, he saw only two cars squeezed together, one of which was the float he saw just now.

He searched the van, but there was no one in it, which meant that the other people were not dead yet, they must have encountered something when they disappeared together, and the crisis had come.

Yu Haohuai resisted Cao Jing all the way and hid in the nearest store. His keenness as a policeman made him dare not act rashly. Before they knew what was going on outside, their best choice was to hide. As for finding the child , still have to wait until other people join forces to search.

"Squeak—" There was a long dragging sound in the darkness.It came from the door.

Yu Haohuai hurriedly groped, hoping to be lucky enough to find a crowbar, but he only found a jar of candy, which was fortunately in a glass box.

He ducked under the table opposite the door, waiting for a full blow.

The door was closed, and a man walked in, his footsteps were swollen and sloppy, and he was obviously very tired.Yu Haohuai asked himself that he was confident that he could knock down such a person, so he held his breath until the person passed by the table, he stretched out his foot to kick the person, and before the person had time to get out, he heard a familiar call... ...

"Old Zhao?"

Zhao Dongxiang rolled in pain, and stepped back, repeating his begging for mercy, but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was Yu Haohuai.

"What the hell happened? Where did everyone else go?"

Zhao Dongxiang told Yu Haohuai what happened just now, and after hearing this, Yu Haohuai sighed in confusion, pointed at the calf exposed under the counter, and told Zhao Dongxiang about Cao Jing's high fever.

The middle-aged man, Cup Bow Snake Shadow, who clutched his calf and groaned, was startled by the woman's leg, and fell silent after learning that Cao Jing had a fever and was unable to move.

The countdown has passed, and the clown is not outside now. He is obviously heading towards the path that most people are taking, and his choice is correct.Now that she has another teammate and helper, it seems that Cao Jing's existence is extraordinarily redundant.

Zhao Dongxiang said directly: "Officer Yu, you know how urgent the situation is now. Cao Jing is already like this, so it's inconvenient to take her with you."

"Things haven't reached that point yet." Yu Haohuai replied.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was not firm, Zhao Dongxiang persuaded: "We have to plan in advance. You see, we didn't mean to make trouble. If she is awake and can act normally, it will be no problem for us to take her. But the key is that we are now alone It's hard to guarantee, if there is danger in the future and we need to go to another place, what will Cao Jing do? Take it or not?"

Yu Haohuai didn't answer, Zhao Dongxiang's words made him a little shaken, and in the face of reality, the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility that had just surged were extinguished.Zhao Dongxiang is right, some things need to be planned in advance.

But asking him to abandon a seriously ill single mother would not only disturb his conscience, but also make him ashamed of his police badge.

"Don't worry about it, I'll take her with me then, okay."

"Oh, okay, but you see she has such a severe fever now, and there is no medicine here, so she will have to..."

The figure that suddenly passed by outside the window made the man shut up, and the two of them looked at each other, not daring to breathe.The black shadow stayed in front of the window for a few seconds, seeming to be peeping into the house. With sharp laughter, the shadow moved out of the window.

For as long as 2 minutes, Yu Haohuai and Zhao Dongxiang curled up like ice sculptures, stiff from hair to toes, they looked at each other until they confirmed that the clown had really left, then stretched their limbs and relaxed.

Fear swept away the sleepiness and hunger, and Yu Hao moved his body, only to find that his arms were convulsed due to excessive tension, and his muscles were tangled.

Yu Haohuai once read a sentence in a book when he was young, which said "the greatest fear of human beings is the unknown". He only thought that this sentence was false, but now he fully understands the meaning of this sentence. The shadow and the sharp laughter have already made him imagine a hideous clown image.It's hard to imagine that there will be such a clown killer in the amusement park at night. They are like a predator and a prey. Who would know the antelope's psychology when they try their best to escape?Fearless or terrified.

This feeling of waiting to die makes Yu Haohuai even more difficult. He proposes to take the initiative, and the cooperation of the two can have a great chance to kill the clown.Unexpectedly, Zhao Dongxiang waved his hands desperately: "You were not here just now, you didn't see how fast that clown moved, Zhou Xuerong slashed him several times and failed to hit him, let alone we don't even have a knife, what can we do to deal with him?"

The other party's words revealed affirmation of Zhou Xuerong's skill, and even compared him with Zhou Xuerong, which made Yu Haohuai very upset. He didn't speak, Zhao Dongxiang continued: "We will hide here until dawn, just like today Sooner or later, the gate will open by itself."

Recalling the scene when he left the supermarket early in the morning, Yu Haohuai felt incredible.At that time, he didn't want to leave early, but accidentally found that the roller shutter of the exit was wide open, and the lock on the door was missing.While overjoyed, the anxiety of waiting for his companions became unbearable. He thought that the others would not survive. Just as he was about to leave, Miao Fang ran out and asked them to help save others.

He didn't save people.

Life was right in front of him, he just chose the road that everyone would choose, he persuaded Miao Fang to give up saving people, and then they drove away from this ghost place together.

What happened later exceeded everyone's expectations. The world became a fake of the uncanny valley effect, a cage built for them, and they could not escape.It's just that Yu Haohuai couldn't understand, who opened the roller blind, and when did it open?Will the gates be opened tonight for them as well?

A pair of colorful upturned leather shoes landed lightly on the welcome carpet outside the house. The owner of the shoes was painted white, with a big mouth grinning under a red nose, and the corners of the mouth were pulled stiffly to the sides, tearing out a silent laugh.

"Yeah——" the door of the gift shop was pushed open.
