Chapter 426 Wake up late from nightmare

Chapter 426 Wake up late from nightmare

In a trance, like a dream.

These people... were all people he had seen who died in the fog.

And the moment he saw this scene, Bai Yanliang really went limp and lay down on the ground.

Qi Nian and a group of shadowy figures surrounded him, looking down at him with expressionless faces...

————

I had a dream.

In my dream, I often play with a big boy...

The sky was dim, the streets were old, and an opera that I didn't understand was being sung on the stage.

I sat in the dark auditorium with the older children next to me, staring intently at the stage, and applauded vigorously from time to time.

Until the sky got darker and darker, until I came back to my senses and found that the surroundings were unbelievably quiet, and the stage was also quiet.

The babble that was incomprehensible but still pleasant to the ear before seemed particularly loud now. The older child and I quickly turned around and looked around, and found that the huge auditorium had long been empty, and only me and that person were left. The big boy was still sitting there.

Looking back at the stage, the opera actors were standing on the stage silently, with their heads lowered. The lights did not flicker or dim, but they seemed to have become much colder, and the faces of the actors in the theater troupe cast a pale shadow when they shone on them. In the bright light, the heavy makeup on the actor's face was like tears from a burnt candle, flowing down his cheeks.

At this time, I felt my hands tighten. It turned out that the older child next to me grabbed me and dragged me out quickly.

I don’t know how long I ran, but this old street seemed to have infinite length, stretching forward until I couldn’t run at all and my eyelids dropped from exhaustion, but I still couldn’t run out.

Later, I woke up.

When I woke up again, I was back home.

Only then did I realize that it was the older child who was running back with me on his back.

And this eldest child is my brother, named Bai Yanren.

Our parents passed away early, and we were raised by our grandparents. Before we were fully raised, my grandfather, who had been drinking all year round, also passed away, leaving only an old man with limited mobility and our two brothers, one older and one younger.

After that time, after escaping from the theater troupe, I began to become frail and sickly. From inexplicable nosebleeds to bleeding from the corners of my eyes, ear holes, and mouth, I couldn't find any reason when I was taken to the hospital for examination.

Grandma became more and more anxious, her health became worse and worse, and she finally passed away not long after.

Until she died, grandma was still scolding Bai Yanren, saying that it was entirely his fault that my body became like this.

Speaking of his brother Bai Yanren, he is also a strange person.

I am much younger than my brother, so I have been hearing about his various deeds almost since I was a child.

My brother is very smart. You can tell from the neighbors that he is what everyone calls someone else’s child.

You don't need to study too hard to be at the top. Physical fitness, height and appearance, all aspects are very good.

Only people in the family, before my grandfather passed away, I was still very young, and I only remember a few bits and pieces. My family always called my brother a disaster star.

My brother is indeed very smart, but his intelligence seems to be a taboo thing in the family.

Later, I got a general idea from my grandfather who drank too much.

It turns out that the premature death of his parents was also due to his brother Bai Yanren.

According to my grandpa’s confusing narration after drinking, the situation at that time was somewhat similar to what happened to me.

My brother seems to be born with the ability to sense some strange places, or in other words, he is born to be close to some strange things.

When my brother was still very young and I had not yet been born, he, a four or five-year-old child, left home alone and searched for something on the already urbanized streets. He actually found a mouthful of food that should not have been in the city. The well of existence.

Mom and dad were so anxious that they asked around and made many inquiries before they found his specific location.

When his parents rushed over, his brother was trying to get into the well with his head down.

Mom and dad rushed over, grabbed his feet and pulled him out.

But at this time, the four or five-year-old brother seemed to have something fallen into the well. He kept struggling and stretched his hand towards the well.

Mom and Dad comforted him while looking into the well.

At this glance, there was a big problem.

The two of them were stunned on the spot, as if they had lost their souls, and carried their children back home in a daze.

Since then, their physical conditions deteriorated rapidly. They had the same symptoms as mine. They started with nosebleeds, then developed to bleeding from all the orifices, and finally their bodies began to "fade", turning into a strange grayish-white color, and finally died quietly. . This process lasted for several years.

It was during this period that I was born.

Grandpa's drunken chatter seemed to have happened with his own eyes, and maybe it was true. After all, the child was said to be missing at that time, and many neighbors followed him to look for it. There should be more than just the father and mother present.

In short, because of this incident, my brother's abnormal behavior became a worry for the family.

Under the deliberate observation of his family, many of his brother's behaviors became even more bizarre.

He always stares straight at some empty place for a long time.

He always loves to dive into the darkness. The deeper the darkness, the more he likes it.

He always likes to look at his parents, grandparents, and even everyone he meets with weird eyes...

In the end, the impression my brother left on his family and the impression he left on his neighbors became completely different.

In the eyes of his neighbors, he is a good boy who works hard and achieves excellent results.

In the eyes of his family, he was a weirdo who "seemed to have wisdom", had penetrating eyes, and was taciturn.

Later, I became a little more sensible and tried asking my brother some questions.

"Brother, why do you always stare at some places for a long time? There is obviously nothing..."

"Yes, and there are many."

"Brother, why are you going to a very dark place?"

"Brother is looking for a way."

"Brother, why do you sometimes talk to yourself?"

"Brother is talking to other people."

"..."

So many and so many.

It wasn't until his parents passed away, his grandfather passed away, and his grandmother passed away that my brother gradually became "normal".

But at this time, my physical condition had reached its worst point.

I started bleeding from all my orifices.

And starting from the toes, it is already fading...

I remember that my brother looked at me for a long time that day, and then said to me: "Yanliang, my brother will send you to a place where you will sleep for a while, but after you wake up, your body will be fine, okay?"

"Well! I believe in brother."

"I believe brother!"

"I believe brother..."

"Believe in brother..."

These words echoed in my mind.

Bai Yanliang opened his eyes suddenly, and at the same time, his brain felt a sharp pain.

He could clearly feel that a strong tearing feeling was erupting somewhere in the depths of his mind or soul.

Something strange was emerging in his body.

Along with the pain came the emergence of strange memories.

Bai Yanliang endured the severe pain, and finally there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

In my mind, a child’s voice echoed:

"Big brother? Who are you?"

He woke up.

The original owner of this body was the real Bai Yanliang.

woke up.
