Chapter 7 Looking for someone, looking for something
This night was extremely long for Chen Xian.
Because in that long sleep, he returned to that strange and psychedelic nightmare.
In the haze, Chen Xian once again came to the vast and unknown deep sea. Like a homeless ghost, he drifted alone in the endless depths of the ocean, and surrounded by thousands of deep-sea fish, he His body slowly sank, and he gradually saw the ancient square that had long since decayed. It also allowed him to see the unforgettable and fresh-
The blood-colored giant tree that was rotting on the bottom of the sea.
The dream this time was far more real than the last time, and the picture became much clearer.
Accompanied by the invisible and turbulent undercurrent on the seabed, Chen Xian drifted uncontrollably to the root of the sky-reaching blood tree. At this distance, he could clearly see that there were countless human heads on the trunk like a scarlet mountain. Inlaid in the bark like gems... Of course, Chen Xian couldn't tell in his dream whether those heads belonged to human beings, because the size of each head was about three times that of a normal human.
Those heads lost their skin, and the blood-red muscle tissue exposed in the sea looked terrifying like a nightmare. Even under the deep sea, Chen Xian could still feel the bloody smell from them.
They don't seem to be dead, even if they are detained in this strange blood tree, they are doing their best to show the power of life, constantly breathing in the sea water with their mouths open and closed.
Because there is no skin tissue on their faces as a cover, their eyes look extremely terrifying, each eyeball protrudes fiercely, and the whites of the eyes are also occupied by cobweb-like bloodshots.
Perhaps they noticed that an outsider had come here, and all the heads began to wriggle wildly, struggling desperately, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the bark, and there was a chilling hostility in their eyes. The way a hunter looks at his prey...
Standing in front of the blood-colored giant tree covered with human heads, Chen Xian silently watched these terrifying pictures without feeling the slightest fear, because he knew that he was dreaming.
Compared with the previous nightmare, this nightmare seems to have a lot more details. From a certain point of view, it should be that this dream is more complete, the information that can be obtained has also increased, and of course there are also reduced parts. Like... the scream heard in dream last time.
"Why do I have this dream..."
Standing under the rotten giant tree with scarlet stench, Chen Xian raised his head and looked at the countless human heads, his face was so calm that he could not see any expression, and his clear consciousness made him start to analyze continuously.
He is not a person who likes to dream, and the dreams he has had in the past are not much different from the dreams of normal people.
But this nightmare made him clearly realize that this scene... may have some strange connection with him.
Although this kind of analysis and speculation is baseless, his intuition tells him thatββ
This place is not unfamiliar. It seems that have been here at some point, but can't remember it.
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Chen Xian's mind.
The voice was calling his name, and his consciousness began to gradually blur until he got out of this nightmare...
"Chen~ Xian~"
Mu He was sitting next to Chen Xian, holding his arm and shaking it constantly. Seeing that it was bright outside for a while, Mu He seemed more anxious because she hadn't had breakfast yet.
If you don't eat breakfast, you will get stomach problems. If you have stomach problems, you will not be able to eat. If you can't eat, you will starve to death like the old man next door.
This is what Chen Xian taught her yesterday, and she remembers it very deeply.
"Chen Xian...get up..."
Listening to her soft and glutinous shout, it doesn't seem like a wake-up call, it's more like a kitten coquettish, so soft that it has no power to wake people up, but the strength in her hands is not small... .. is about to break Chen Xian's body to pieces.
"Don't." Like a corpse, Chen Xian suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her, "Don't shake it."
Seeing that Chen Xian was awake, Mu He jumped into his arms very happily, his soft hair kept rubbing against Chen Xian's chest, and he urged him to get up and cook quickly or he would die.
"Death?" Chen Xian looked at the girl in confusion, "Who told you that he would die?"
Mu He raised his head, and poked Chen Xian's face with his pink and tender little finger: "You said...you will die..."
"When did I say...wait a minute...I seem to remember."
Chen Xian sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and gave a long yawn.
This dream is really long...I wonder if dream about it next time...Will something else happen again?
Beneath the unknown deep sea, the dilapidated ancient square, and the sky-reaching blood tree covered with human heads.
Have you ever seen them before? Have you seen relevant records on the Internet or in books? So you unconsciously dream of those pictures?
"Chen Xian~"
"Don't rush, I'll cook now."
Chen Xian yawned again, put on his slippers and walked out of the bedroom.
Today is not like a rainy season, the sun is just right in the sky, the yard is starting to dry, and it seems that even the air has become warm.
In this kind of good weather, Chen Xian's mood was rarely alive, and the mood that had been destroyed by Xu Sanhan was much better.
Grocery shopping, cooking.
Chen Xian was like the most standard housewife and man, and he always took care of the little girl Mu He.
In private, Chen Xian also thought about it, maybe the feeling of taking care of children is to take care of Mu He... I'm really tired!
"Muhe."
"Ok?"
"I was wondering... should you change your clothes..."
Chen Xian silently looked at the girl, from head to toe.
Mu He is very beautiful, and her figure is just right, but... wearing a masculine outfit, no matter how she looks, she always feels strange.
"It's still early today. I'll take you to the mall and buy you some clothes to wash."
Chen Xian got up and cleaned up the tableware. He spoke in a tone that felt like a parent talking to a child, with a vague sense of relief.
In the past few days, Mu He has made great progress, at least from the appearance that his intelligence is not very sound, he has gradually become normal.
Among them, changing clothes was the most troublesome thing for Chen Xian. This big problem has been solved by Mu He. Chen Xian expressed his sympathy for this, and he finally didn't have to worry about that kind of embarrassing thing.
"Bang! Bang!"
Hearing this extremely abrupt knock on the door, Chen Xian, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously thought of Fatty Huo, who had just come to the door yesterday to ask for a job.
Without waiting for Chen Xian to think about it, the people outside knocked on the door a few times.
The voice is a little loud, and it sounds a little anxious.
It doesn't seem to be Fatty Huo and the others.
"Who?" Chen Xian asked, rubbing his hands and walking out.
The people outside the door didn't answer, they kept knocking on the door, and they didn't stop as if they were calling for orders.
When Chen Xian walked to the door, his action of opening the door suddenly froze for a second, because he felt that there was more than one person outside the door. Judging from the smell...there should be eleven people.
"You go back to the living room first, I won't tell you not to come out." Chen Xian said without looking back.
Mu He was still staring at Chen Xian in the yard in a daze, but when he heard this, he got up very experienced, and trotted to hide in the living room.
At this moment, Chen Xiancai slowly opened the door of the old house.
As he had judged before, there were eleven people standing in the alley outside the door.
Ten of them were all dressed the same, all wearing a neat black suit, and the similarity in age was also very high, probably around 30 to 40 years old.
The only thing that stood out was a woman.
It was a very young woman, as old as Chen Xian.
According to the aesthetics of normal people, this woman can definitely be called a goddess.
She looks only slightly shorter than Chen Xian, but her tall figure is not thin, she has a very dazzling healthy beauty, and the plump curves that bulge forward and backward are also full of sexy characters. The legs are especially slender, and they look very eye-catching in the sun, and there is an unspeakable intellectual beauty in the sexy.
"Who?"
Chen Xian's eyes only glanced at the woman, and he didn't stop there.
"Xu Sanhan died here?" The woman suddenly said, her voice as clear as an oriole.
"Who?" Chen Xian asked this question for the second time, but did not answer the woman's words.
At this time, a man standing beside the woman spoke, with a strong sense of oppression in his tone.
"If I ask you anything, you answer it, understand?"
"Who?"
Chen Xian asked for the last time, and his tone had become a little impatient. After all, there are still chopsticks and spoons in the sink that have not been washed. For a cleanliness madman like him, the dirty tableware is left there and not washed... ...it's nothing short of torture.
Seeing that the person outside the door did not answer, Chen Xian took the initiative to take a step forward and blocked the door.
"Or...you're here to look for something?"
