Chapter 485 Death Game Part 2 (19)
The air here is filled with the smell of food mixed with the smell of swill.
With the roar, the huge black silhouette of the plane passed by in the sky. Zhang Chunfa leaned on the guardrail of the dim corridor, and various noisy voices appeared in his ears. Some were beating and scolding children, and some were shouting. There is music on the TV, although it is noisy, but it makes people feel at ease and nostalgic.
But the strange thing is that there is no one in the corridor except him. Whether it is a grocery store or a dentist's office, there is no one around, as if the sounds and smells are all illusions.
“Dream?” Zhang Chunfa felt very clearly at this time that he was not in reality, but in a nostalgic dream. He got up and went to the empty canteen, took a candy and opened it. He put it in his mouth and said to himself: "It's not bad to have such a dream..."
The vaguely familiar taste that had been so long ago melted in his mouth. The sweet feeling made Zhang Chunfa's eyes narrow. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Speaking of which, he has not had such a clear dream for a long time.
Zhang Chunfa walked along the intricate corridors. It was like a maze. There were always unknown paths and passages that he discovered. Then he went round and round and returned to a familiar place. Every time he walked there, A new place, he can hear and see the sounds and smells of that place. For example, he could smell the smell of meat when passing by a butcher's shop, and he could also hear the sound of mahjong playing when passing by a house.
He walked for a long time, but he just couldn't get out of this place, so he finally returned to the patio and looked up at the sky.
At this time, a voice came.
"Aren't you curious about what's outside?"
Zhang Chunfa looked in the direction of the sound. It was still the shack. Qian Xiaoyi was sitting on it, with a cigarette in his mouth. There is a curl of green smoke.
It seems that because he was in a dream, after seeing Qian Xiaoyi, Zhang Chunfa did not feel strange that he would appear here. He just replied: "Maybe I was curious before, but now I feel that it is just right here. , there are not so many messy things, neighbors are neighbors, everyone helps each other, just for the next meal, it’s simple and straightforward.”
“But now they have left,” Qian Xiaoyi said. You're alone here, aren't you lonely?"
Zhang Chunfa smiled and said, "What can I do? I'm trapped here and can't get out."
"I think it's not that you can't get out, you are escaping." Qian Xiaoyi said: "Escape from what has happened outside. What is it that scares you so much? You don't seem to be such a timid man."
"This is none of your business." Zhang Chunfa was a little tough, but the next second, he seemed to realize that his tone was a little too strong, and then said: "I'm sorry...that was all in the past. I don’t want to mention it again. Do you have any cigarettes?”
“Just this one, it may not suit your taste.”
"Just smoke if you can." Zhang Chunfa said.
So Qian Xiaoyi flicked his fingers and threw the cigarette in his hand towards Zhang Chunfa. The red dot turned into a parabola in the air and was caught by Zhang Chunfa's raised hand.
Zhang Chunfa sniffed the cigarette and said, "This cigarette smells very strange. What brand is it?"
"I rolled it myself." Qian Xiaoyi shrugged and said, "Isn't it okay to smoke some?" It’s up to you whether you want to smoke or not, but if you don’t smoke, just give it back to me~”
Zhang Chun smiled and started puffing away, and the smoke around him suddenly became filled with smoke. At this time, Qian Xiaoyi said: "You really don't want to go out and take a look? See the truth?"
"I told you, I can't get out of this place." Zhang Chunfa said, He had forgotten that this place was a dream, and just said impatiently: "I can't find a way out."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "If that's the case, just follow the smoke."
"Follow the smoke?" Zhang Chunfa doubtfully dispersed the surrounding smoke. When he looked up, Qian Xiaoyi's figure had disappeared. Gone.
He looked around and discovered a very interesting sight.
——The smoke from the cigarette in his hand seemed to be blown by the breeze and drifted towards an unseen narrow passage.
Zhang Chunfa looked at the cigarette in his hand, then looked at the passage, and finally decided to follow. He was also a little curious about where this cigarette would take him.
The buildings in the walled city were so intricate that Zhang Chunfa himself couldn't even remember the locations of the hidden passages, but the wisp of smoke always led him to find the hidden passages. Just like this, Zhang Chunfa finally found the hidden passages in the smoke. Under the guidance, I saw the exit here. The golden light shone directly from the gap into the dim corridor, making it look somewhat holy.
Zhang Chunfa swallowed his saliva. When he was young, he was not as nervous as he was now when he went to kill someone for the first time. It seemed as if something terrible was waiting for him in front of him. He calmed down and finally defeated. Hesitating in his heart, he walked into the golden light.
When his eyes gradually adapted to the light in front of him, Zhang Chunfa could clearly see the scenery here. The golden light turned out to be not the rising sun, but the lights in the casino!
Countless undead with withered faces are sitting in front of various gambling equipment, concentrating on the game, their eyes are full of desire, and their ears are filled with endless screams and machine sound effects.
The smoke from the cigarette in his hand drifted into his eyes, and he couldn't help but blink. In just a moment, he saw clearly the true face of those gambling tables and gambling machines! They were ugly monsters one after another, with their mouths wide open and their tongues lolling, waiting for the gamblers to stick their heads into their mouths.
Zhang Chunfa's mouth opened slightly, and he seemed to notice something at this time. His eyes turned downward, and then he saw that he also had a big mouth with sharp teeth.
——He is also one of these monsters!
Zhang Chunfa sat up in shock from his dream. His wife beside him was still sleeping soundly. In the dim room, a familiar fragrance came from the side. He turned around and saw that in the incense burner beside the bed, A stick of incense has been burned to the end, and the dim red dot exudes the last bit of smoke.
This is the soothing incense that Qian Xiaoyi gave him before he left after visiting Qian Xiaoyi. He said it would help him not be troubled by nightmares and keep his true nature.
Zhang Chunfa rubbed his temples, his mind a little confused. It was obviously an Anshenxiang, but it gave him nightmares, and said it could dispel nightmares...
A thunder exploded in Zhang Chunfa's mind, and dust-laden memories came flooding back.
He had always thought that he seldom dreamed. He could only remember a handful of dreams over the past twenty years, and he slept well every night. But now he seemed to remember that it was not that he did not dream, but It's because I only have the same dream every day and then forget it the next day.
And this dream was of him wandering alone in the city of his childhood, peaceful and comfortable.
“Wait a minute!” Zhang Chunfa suddenly thought: “Qian Xiaoyi’s master is very powerful. He is a real master. I believe his level is not bad. If he didn’t lie to me, this Requiem Fragrance The effect is really to drive away nightmares..."
He thought of a terrifying possibility: Could it be that the city that made him feel at ease was the nightmare, and that casino and those monsters were the truth!
