Chapter 205 Shared Dreams

  Dark night, silent city, hurried footsteps and panting.

   Zhou Yang madly ran forward, and didn't even dare to look back, for fear that when he looked back, he saw that the street lights also went out madly, and the darkness instantly caught up and devoured him. His fear completely overwhelmed his rationality.

After running until he lost his strength, the untrained college student stopped. Although he didn't run very far, he felt that his lungs were already burning, and his legs were as heavy as lead. , and finally leaned on his knees and gasped heavily on the side of the road.

   While breathing heavily, he looked back at the street over there, only to see that it was pitch black and all the street lights had been turned off.

  Quietly...

   seems to have nothing...

   - it seems.

His heart was pounding, but he didn't have the courage to go back and have a look. He could only grit his teeth and pray that his best friend would not have any problems... No, maybe there is no need to worry about that guy at all, this situation is more likely It's because I hit the evil by myself, and I fell into some strange situation by myself.

   So what was going on and why it became like this, he clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and looked around helplessly.

Although Zhou Yang may be more mature and stable compared to his peers, but only a few, so when faced with such a treacherous situation, he also does not know what to do, even if he keeps telling himself that he must calm down...be calm...

   How calm is this, and even if he is calm, he still doesn't know how to deal with this situation, or how to solve it.

It seems that the surrounding streets are still in the old city. He seems to have run out to the main road of the city in one breath. The street lights here are emitting a soft dim yellow light. He is now standing directly under a street lamp, which seems to be brightly reflecting When it's dark all around, you can feel a little bit of security.

   may not necessarily be useful, but at least the street lights on this street are continuous, and even if the horrible situation happened before, he can still have time to react.

  Frightened and apprehensive paying attention to the surrounding situation, Zhou Yang tried to identify the direction.

However, the scenery reflected in his eyes was a strange and chaotic scene under the dim light of the street lamps. In the relatively dim environment, although he could only vaguely recognize some outlines, he could still see some The old buildings are brand new, as if they were just built...

But there are also some dilapidated tiled houses that don't know where they came from. They look blurry and distorted. There are piles of firewood on the edge, or tattered wooden carts. At first glance, they look like scenes from the last century or earlier. It also horrified him.

   He took a hard sip of saliva, slowly raised his head and looked into the distance along the main road in front of him, taking in the panoramic view of the city in his eyes, and his mouth could not help but open little by little, getting bigger and bigger——

  The asphalt road and the muddy loess road are intertwined... At the end of the road in the distance, there is a dark shadow of an old tree with luxuriant branches standing for some reason...

  There are thick dark clouds in the sky, and the round moon is quietly reflected in the night sky... Behind the outlines of buildings lined up at the end of the city, the invisible sky behind is faintly thundering, and lightning flashes from time to time...

This seems to be a dark world with no logic and laws. Both the time and space and the scenery are completely dislocated. There is no pattern, and what appears is an unparalleled chaotic mapping, which makes him full of panic, his face pale, but He subconsciously stared at the thundercloud in the distance.

   It was completely pitch black.

   Even a short-lived thunder light cannot penetrate the darkness as heavy as lead. It seems that the city has been cut off from the outside world here, and it has fallen into the demon world.

"Here... where is it, who will help me..." The panic in his heart turned into a weak whisper, and he picked up the phone tremblingly, hoping to catch the last straw, but the result was naturally disappointing Yes, there is no signal at all here.

   tried to make a few calls, and the result was naturally no response.

boom……

There was a muffled sound in the distance, and the ground seemed to vibrate slightly. Zhou Yang's body suddenly froze. He was already in a state of panic. Naturally, he subconsciously looked at the one who just escaped. that street.

  The street lights are all off, only darkness is shrouded, but it is still quiet.

   It seems that the movement is not coming from there, but from a farther place, as if it is the movement of something very heavy and huge moving, and every step shakes the ground.

boom! boom!

Zhou Yang was full of tremors. He subconsciously remembered a movie he once saw, about the resurrection of dinosaurs. The man in it was sitting alone in a car parked on a forest path. He heard the ground shaking and felt the behemoth gradually approaching. Time……

   Do you also feel like yourself now? As if being strangled by the throat, the suffocation of being caught in the stomach is uncomfortable.

I don't know if the voice was approaching, but he felt that he couldn't stay here. Although leaving the range of the light seemed to make him feel frightened, he hoped to stay here until dawn, but the situation seemed to not allow it. Greater terror is looming...

   gritted his teeth to identify the source of the sound, and he was forced to start trembling forward in the opposite direction.

Although he was frightened along the way, nothing seemed to happen. He tried hard to walk in the light of the street lights, and he didn't want to step into the darkness at all. For the gloomy streets and alleys by the road, the yellow mud road that extended out, it was a sight to see. Don't look at it, don't look sideways, for fear of seeing something you shouldn't look at.

   But the road ahead is that gloomy tree...

   Zhou Yang looked around and found that there was absolutely no way to detour.

Unless he is willing to walk on those yellow dirt roads that look even weirder, or those dark and gloomy alleys next to them, or those gray fogs, I don't know what is in the fog, but they are gray and rolling. , can't see anything clearly.

The dull sound behind him is approaching step by step, and the rumbling vibration seems to be getting closer... His previous thoughts and decisions are correct, something is really moving this way, and if it stays in place, it will not be. Know what the consequences will be.

   Hearing the original heavy sound approaching gradually, Zhou Yang, who didn't want to know what it was at all, bit his head and moved forward step by step, he slowly walked into the shadow of the big tree.

The old trees are very dense, covering a large area, and there seems to be an unknown coldness invading. He feels the cold air all over his body and his scalp is numb. He can only move forward little by little, while repeating in his heart over and over again And, reminding myself that this is nothing, this tree has nothing...

   He looked outside carefully and saw clearly.

   But at this moment, there seemed to be a gloomy wind blowing, and the leaves were rustling.

His mind was blank, and his whole body was rigidly fixed in place, because he suddenly felt that something was slamming against the back of his head as the wind blew... And what was mixed in the wind was the rope tightening the object. , a screeching sound...

   He didn't know what he was thinking, or just instinctively turned around slowly and looked behind him.

   A pair of red embroidered shoes are floating in the air...

   This is his last consciousness. The shock was too violent, and the backlog of fear completely exceeded the threshold, causing his whole body to shake a few times and fall directly backwards.

  …………

  I don't know how long it has passed, feeling that someone was slapping his face, Zhou Yang opened his eyes in a daze.

   "Awake?" A faint voice came.

With a sudden jolt, the rest of the college student's sleepiness disappeared. He sat up all of a sudden, glanced around subconsciously, and then found that he did not know when he had returned to the bright street lamp, the big tree not far away. The tree still stands there quietly.

   The fear before he passed out overwhelmingly flooded his heart, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably, and he looked to the side with his teeth chattering.

It was a tall man, wearing a slightly old-fashioned tunic suit, holding a black umbrella in his hand and a strange white lantern in the other hand. There was not much on his face with a sense of vicissitudes. His expression, but with a scrutiny in his eyes, looked at him condescendingly.

   "Yes...you saved me? Thank you..."

   His body was trembling, and Zhou Yang stammered, feeling like the rest of his life.

   "Are you an ordinary person? How did you enter the land of dreams?" The man nodded disapprovingly and asked, still looking at Zhou Yang up and down.

"I... I don't know, and I don't know how I got here, just... I just went out and found the street was empty..." Zhou Yang stammered as he explained. , He also wanted to know why he fell into this ghost place.

   "Suddenly? It seems that you are awakened..." The man nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.

   Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Boss, do you know what's going on?"

   After being baptized by various shocks and fears before, he no longer doubts this, and believes that he has definitely come into contact with the other side of the unknown world.

"This is the land of dreams, the sea of ​​deep consciousness of all living beings, the common dream of all human beings..." The man said, "It is certainly not the first time you have come here, and some of the dreams in this area may also be through you. It's mapped out from memory, but it's the first time you've fallen into a lucid dream."

   "A total of... dreams?" Zhou Yang looked around subconsciously.

   He had such a strange feeling before. He always felt that this was a bizarre and dislocated world, with no rules and no logic. Many things of different ages and styles were inexplicably piled up and merged together, like an unreasonable... dream.

   "It's like this, everyone's dreams come together, and when they merge with each other, there will definitely be distortions. Even for the same thing, everyone's memory mapping may have some differences, and the distortions come from this..."

  The man explained that he was not used to it and said:

"Dream is also divided into many layers. For example, a room with overlapping seven or eight layers of different boundaries may be different residents in the past, and the memory maps of different periods overlap and overlap, which eventually leads to the situation, which also makes the land of dreams. It's very complicated, in the deepest dreams, I don't know how long ago memories are deposited..."
