List of strange talismans

Chapter 30 Mom, I'm Melting

Why can ordinary people keep their normal thinking alive, rarely have hallucinations, and rarely get trapped in dreams?
Because most people stay in a remote corner in their lifelong exploration of the boundless world.

With their crude and scarce experience, they try to prove the truth of the entire vast world, believing that the place they live in is full of laws and is a creation built by objective truth.

The resulting cognitions are undoubtedly absurd, but strangely stable, never conflicting.

But Gu Xiuya couldn't do it.

He has seen the reality of the world, and knows that there are countless unknown dangerous knowledge outside the high walls of reason.

And when you know something exists, you can no longer avoid encountering it.

This is knowledge itself's reward to the seeker, but also its hidden curse.

……

I am dreaming? ! !

since when?
Gu Xiuya had never had such a real dream, and he couldn't tell anything that seemed wrong in it.

If it weren't for the information in front of him, he might not be able to discover the clues until a long, long time later.

He felt like he was going crazy if he went on like this.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the calm and calm world will always be divided in front of him.

First a hallucination, now a dream.

He seemed to be walking on a single-plank bridge, with an abyss under his feet, and the bridge was full of traps.

As long as one is not paying attention at any time, he will fall into a false dream and cannot extricate himself from it.

"Oh, you seem to understand."

The little girl stopped chasing and stood on the shoulder of the monster.The delicate face was a little frustrated: "I've obviously been playing the role very seriously, why was I still found out?"

Gu Xiuya ignored her.

The most frightening part of the dream is that it is difficult to know when he is in it. Now that he wakes up, he is dreaming, and the dream is about to wake up.

Thinking like this, he meditated in his heart to wake up, close his eyes, and open them again.Then I saw... the face of the little girl.

Gu Xiuya was taken aback, and an indescribable panic surged in his heart.

Why didn't you wake up?

Why are you still here?
Am I not dreaming?
No, no, I must be dreaming!Otherwise, the power of the stupid boa constrictor will not fail.

Then why didn't I wake up?

Gu Xiuya felt that he had a cognitive obstacle, his logic was bogged down, and his mind was in chaos.

He kept closing his eyes and opening them, closing them and opening them again, but the repeated attempts did not bring about any change. He still stood where he was, with the face of the little girl getting closer and closer in front of him.

Is it a dream? ! !
Intense fear overwhelmed reason, as if there were two voices roaring in his head, one told him that he was dreaming, and the other told him that this was reality!
The little girl giggled: "I lied to you just now, why did you still believe me?"

"Ah! You don't really think you're dreaming, do you?"

Gu Xiuya did not speak.

He staggered and grabbed the back of the chair next to him, his face was pale, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his pupils were trembling.

Really... can't tell.

……

10 minutes ago.

The little loli with a schoolbag was sitting by the window of the coffee shop, holding a big glass of milkshake and sucking it, whimpering contentedly from time to time.

Outside the window, dozens of investigators from the Department of Disorders rushed over with solemn faces, and led by a young woman, they rushed into the National Library... and then brought out three stretchers.

Followed by the librarian, surrounded by a group of investigators, he was sweating profusely explaining something.

Ding!
Jemink put down his coffee cup gracefully, and winked at Olina.

"For dessert's sake, translate?"

Olina looked out of the window, her eyes seemed to cross the long street and reach the people of the Investigation Bureau.

After a while, she said: "Elton's hounds came too fast, and they awakened the other two nodes. Now, only the son of the oracle is still dreaming."

She turned her head and looked at Jeminke: "You should speed up."

"Be patient, Olina. A person soaked in embers can never leave the group dream. When he sees me, the end is sealed."

Jemink took a sip of his coffee slowly, with a relaxed look on his hands.

He smiled at Olina... only to get a cold face.

"Don't make me repeat it a second time."

Little Lolita said indifferently, her eyes were cold and piercing.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it."

Jemink leaned on the back of the chair helplessly, and hastily closed his eyes.

There was a hole in the back of his head, and slippery tentacles poured out one after another, flowing all over the ground.

The strange thing is that the people around seem to be unable to see this horrible scene, and they are still doing their own things.

Olina bit her straw, pressed her pink children's watch, and set an alarm for 10 minutes.

This is the longest Jemink has ever intruded into the group dream.

Time flew by and the alarm clock rang soon.

"Have you got his subconscious..."

Olina turned her head to ask, before she finished speaking, she suddenly found that Jeminke's head was shaking.

It was the first time she saw Jeminke being affected by a group dream, and her face changed slightly: "Hey! What's wrong with you?"

Jemink didn't speak, his head twitched like a doll stuck in a clockwork.

This weird convulsion quickly spread to his body, making his whole body start to tremble crazily like an electric shock.

The wriggling and entangled tentacles at the back of his head also stiffened in twitching, crackling and falling to the ground, turning into black ash and disappearing.

Embers... dying?

An unbelievable panic surged in Olina's heart. She stretched out her hand to push away Jeminke's eyelids, only to see the pupils that had begun to slacken.

"What happened to you? Tell me! Say it!!"

Olina shook Jemink like crazy, screaming loudly.

Jemink's lips moved, but no sound came out.

But Olina understood Jeminke's meaning by virtue of her own ability.

"mama."

He is calling mom.

When people are most desperate, they will irresistibly recall the beauty brought by the mother's body.No matter how heartless and cold-blooded this person is on weekdays.

Olina couldn't guess what kind of despair it was that made Jeminke think of his mother who was killed by him.

She stared at Jeminke's eyeballs, not daring to blink her eyelids, and finally at the last moment, she learned of his dying words.

"Mom...I'm melting."

Bang!
Jeminke's head exploded suddenly, splashing red and white all over Olina.

The gentleman who was elegant and calm 10 minutes ago died in the group dream in the way he was most familiar with.

……

Affiliated Hospital of the Bureau of Investigation.

Gu Xiuya opened his eyes and saw Zhou Cheng's big face.

"Thank goodness, you're awake."

Zhou Cheng exhaled a long breath, and his tense expression slowly relaxed.

The medical staff standing around the hospital bed moved quickly, divided the work to check the various functional indicators, hung up a lot of nutrient solution, and then gave up their positions.

A short-haired woman in the uniform of the Bureau of Investigation came forward and put two fingers on Gu Xiuya's forehead.

After closing her eyes for a moment, she opened them, her pupils spinning endlessly like a spinning top.

"Not too bad."
