Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

On the open space not far from the gift shop, the white snow flakes piled up like a piece of freshly baked cream cake, and their van was completely embedded in it.

Yu Haohuai stood in front of the van in a daze, he couldn't believe what he saw, the rest of the people jumped out from under the viewing car, and then they were all as shocked as Yu Haohuai, speechless.

Xu Minglang struggled to help Zhou Xuerong out of the car. The intact van in front of him reminded him of a brand new white van parked by the side of the road when the base was burned down that night. As if ready for them.

The rebuilt van is telling them: "The journey isn't over yet."

Xu Minglang was the first to get into the car with Zhou Xuerong in his arms. He just pushed Zhou Xuerong into the back seat, and before his legs stepped up, Ye Jiawen blocked the seat: "Brother Lang, you can't go up, it's too abnormal. Danger......"

Xu Minglang was already very tired, he patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "I have no choice."

Ye Jiawen looked back around with horror on her face, and found that the faces of other people were also full of the same tiredness.She looked up at the sky, and saw the snow falling slowly but continuously, which should have been a romantic and beautiful scene, but it made her feel desperate.

She finally realized that if they didn't get in this car, where would they go?From the moment they received the invitation, they had no choice.

This time, no one said much, but got into the van one by one.

Driving around the fountain, the brass door carved with antique carvings not far away was wide open, and behind the door was the dawn they were longing for.Xu Minglang leaned against Zhou Xuerong, and the two of them lay sprawled in the back seat. The feeling of being able to straighten his legs made him feel comfortable. At the same time, he inevitably remembered that on the way here, there were three people sitting in the back seat. And extra crowded feeling.

I hope that in the next journey, the number of people in the car will not decrease.

"Ah! Look!" Miao Fang lay prone on the glass with a trembling voice, pulling Xu Minglang, who was about to fall asleep, back to reality.He looked out the window through which Miao Fang looked, and saw the neon signboard of Binhai Summer Kingdom and the towering artificial palm trees on both sides, like a frame of watercolor painting swaying in the wind, becoming distorted and distorted, and then from The gigantic clown sculpture turned into a shell like a cicada's slough, and it shattered when the wind crushed it. The huge amusement park disappeared in just a dozen seconds under the numb eyes of everyone who was amazed.

......

...

Hearing this, Professor Kang with white hair pushed his glasses and closed the notebook in front of him for recording.He looked at the young man on the opposite side, and saw that this thin young man with a slightly crazy expression seemed to be two completely different people from the "Xu Minglang" in the story he told.

According to the evidence and witnesses available to the police, this dejected young man in front of him is undoubtedly the "Rubik's Cube Killer" who committed nearly ten vicious murders.At this time, anyone with enough IQ should know that doing a psychiatric evaluation means that they have to face only two choices: one, admit that they are mentally normal and face the death penalty.Second, try to prove that you are mentally ill, and try to pretend to be mentally ill to avoid the death penalty.

Professor Kang has been engaged in psychiatric appraisal for more than 20 years. He has seen too many criminal suspects who tried to confuse the appraiser in various ways.

It's just like the one in front of me...it's the first time Professor Kang has met a suspect who spent so much effort to tell a useless story. In fact, he prefers to understand this story as a guilt.

Among the suspects he had identified in the past, several of them suffered from hysteria due to the excessive psychological pressure after the murder, and even made up a lie to deceive others and themselves, in order to prove: "I did not commit a crime."

"It's a very interesting story. It can be seen that you are a very philosophical young man." There was a gentle smile in Professor Kang's voice, but his expression was very serious, "Can you talk to me about your views on fantasy and reality? "

Xu Minglang turned a deaf ear, turning his head towards the ceiling like a child. He may be trying to find a place to escape, or he may be simply bored.

Professor Kang smiled silently.

The short police officer sitting near the glass tapped on the notebook in a show of dignity.

Only then did Xu Minglang regain his senses in a daze, and Professor Kang asked, "What are you looking for?"

"different."

"What's the difference?"

"A bottle of Coca-Cola without gas, dried bean curd with a strange taste, carp living in seawater...as long as I can find the 'difference', I can go out from here." Xu Minglang's voice was like a mosquito chirping , It’s all for myself.

"So you think that the world you are talking about is not the same as the world we are in now?"

Xu Minglang looked at Professor Kang with the eyes of a fool.

Professor Kang nodded. The young man in front of him believes his story so firmly. This is a typical delusional personality, but this kind of personality usually does not have excessive behavior and will not cause any harm to society.Through Xu Minglang's explanation, he can feel that the self-expectation of the other party is more inclined to the side with a "strong sense of morality", which also explains the basic conditions for Xu Minglang not to agree with the anti-social personality.

On the contrary, the Zhou Xuerong he was talking about sounded more like a person with a personality disorder.

"You said at the beginning that you found out that someone was following you a long time ago? Who is that person? Why is he following you?"

Xu Minglang was stunned for a moment, the short moment was captured by Professor Kang, and it was also the most valuable moment in his entire recording process.For the first time, he saw a hole in Xu Minglang's "shell", revealing the pink flesh inside.

Professor Kang adjusted his sitting posture quite confidently.

"You think you're smart." Xu Minglang said.

Professor Kang thought he heard it wrong, because the tone and expression of Xu Minglang's words were not arrogant, but compassionate.

"Oh? I don't know what I did to make you think this way?"

"You think I'm a fantasy fanatic, and the stories I tell are fabricated based on my dissatisfaction with the real world. More importantly, my emotions are stable and my logic is good. Every point makes you more sure of your judgment: I'm not mentally ill."

Professor Kang smiled: "It's too arbitrary to say so now, and you shouldn't have too strong resistance. After all, this is my job."

"The truth? Hahahahaha..." Xu Minglang laughed so hard that the handcuffs hit the table with a "click".

"Seriously!" shouted the police officer in charge of recording.

Xu Minglang stopped laughing, but kept panting, as if he was still immersed in the aftertaste of joy.

Professor Kang waited for Xu Minglang to raise his head. The young man's neck was flushed with laughter, his lips were glistening with saliva, and then he said word by word: "The truth is that you are no different from us, we are all in the 'dream' , in this huge 'magic cube'."

The sky outside the window had turned pale. Professor Kang looked at his watch and asked, "Tell me about what happened later. What did you do after Cao Jing died?"

"Under extreme conditions, people's moral sense will become extremely weak. I used to think that such words were used to deceive people in suspense novels." Xu Minglang fiddled with his bangs, which was an unconfident gesture. , he really didn't want to talk.After a few seconds, he continued: "Cao Jing's death gave us more shock than sentimentality. We were all afraid that we would be next. And I realized at the time that what Miao Fang said at the beginning was probably right. Yeah, we were brought together because of something in common, but I was so tired at the time, the first thing we had to do was find a clinic, find gauze iodine or something."

"Did you find it?"

Xu Minglang shook his head: "Same as when we left the supermarket, we didn't see a clinic along the way, but we found a restaurant."

......

...

The road is covered with a thick layer of snow, the van is driving slowly like a shovel, the windshield wipers are moving quickly, and there is a soft snoring sound from the car as the catkins fly in the sky outside the window.

The van that appeared out of thin air was exactly the same as the one that was crashed before. Under the back seat was the black backpack they took from the supermarket, and there were still three crispy sharks, a bottle of Nutrition Express, and the same food they had eaten before. Same amount left.

Xu Minglang put two crispy sharks in his pocket, opened the nutrition express line again, supported Zhou Xuerong's head to feed a few mouthfuls, took two mouthfuls himself, and passed the rest to the front seat.

He took out the phone and unlocked it, but the screen went black because of no battery. He asked Zhao Dongxiang who was driving: "What time is it? Is there anything wrong on the side of the road?"

"It's still early, you go to bed first, I will call you if there is a situation."

Xu Minglang let out a "hmm" and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was awakened by the sound of arguing.

Yu Haohuai: "It was you when you were outside the supermarket. When you saw the food, you couldn't walk. You had to get out of the car. As a result, we all suffered together."

"Why are you unreasonable? You asked Miao Fang to judge. We haven't eaten for a long time. Now we finally see a restaurant. Even if no one cooks, we can drink some water and go in to keep warm." Zhao Dongxiang said .

"Of course you said it lightly. It's not you who rushes forward every time!"

Xu Minglang was in a daze, when there was a sudden light on his shoulders, it was Zhou Xuerong who got up.

"What's the noise?" Zhou Xuerong's voice was dry and hoarse.Miao Fang explained: "I saw a noodle shop on the side of the road. Zhao Dongxiang suggested to go down to find something to eat. Yu Haohuai suspected it was fraudulent and didn't want to go down."

Zhou Xuerong squinted and looked out the window, and opened the car door at the same time.The cold wind blowing against his face made Xu Minglang tremble, Zhou Xuerong held Xu Minglang's upper body, dragged him out of the car, and walked towards the noodle shop in the aisle.Xu Minglang woke up after taking two steps. He removed his weight from the opponent's body. He felt Zhou Xuerong's hand was terribly hot, and said in his ear with a trembling voice: "You are hungry, you can eat soon." It's getting hot."

There was the sound of closing the car door twice behind him, and Miao Fang and Ye Jiawen chased after them calling their names.

Open the oil-stained plastic roller shutter, and you can see the small cash register when you look up. On the wall is the typical red-and-yellow menu of the fly restaurant. It made those who hadn't had a good meal in two days swallow their saliva.The curtain behind him was lifted again, and both Police Officer Yu and Zhao Dongxiang looked unhappy.

There are two rows of tables and chairs on both sides of the road, and a narrow aisle is left in the middle, leading directly to the inner room on the left.Hunger did not go to their heads, Xu Minglang wanted to go in, but was stopped by Zhou Xuerong, Yu Haohuai who was behind him couldn't help but picked up the glass bottle of soybean milk on the ground, and walked in.
