amazing stories

Chapter 33 The End (2)

This is indeed a very strange story, which started very abruptly, like a snake whose head was cut off, and I saw the snake directly from the severed place.

Why did such a strange thing happen to Xiaoxuan?I can't figure it out.But I know things won't be that simple, otherwise Xiaoxuan wouldn't be what she is now.

"And then something happened, didn't it, Xiaoxuan?" I asked.

"You guessed it right. God won't let me go that easily. Just when I finished washing my face and was about to wipe it, I noticed something was wrong with my hands and face."

After washing my face, of course there will be water on my face and hands, but this water is different-they are a lot of paste on my hands and face, um, like wearing a pair of glue gloves and a glue mask.

I was terrified and thought there was something wrong with the tap water, so I rushed to get a towel to wipe it off.Soon, I knew it wasn't the water, it was me.Once outside, I could clearly feel the steam rushing towards my bare skin, a constant rush.I became a sponge, or a humanoid water absorber.

I'm just going crazy.Only then did I realize that the dust on my body in the past year was actually absorbed by my body. Last year I was a vacuum cleaner, and this year I became a water aspirator again.God only gave me one day of vacation a year-this is the rule I summed up later.

Hehe, he is really tolerant, and he didn't let me live in nightmares 365 days a year.The next morning, my nightmare will start all over again.

Now I understand why Xiaoxuan is so happy today.It turned out that today is her "New Year's Day holiday".

I'm a man, and I'm not too timid, but after hearing Xiaoxuan's story, I did tremble a little.Is this disease contagious?Especially the storyteller Xiaoxuan is sitting in front of me right now.

I believe what Xiaoxuan said is true. If such a bizarre thing happened to a normal person, I would certainly not believe it, but I have followed Xiaoxuan for nearly a year, and I have seen her weirdness for the past year with my own eyes. On the contrary, I felt that the story Xiaoxuan told couldn't be more true.

Only then did I realize that it is useless to be bold, there are always some things that you are afraid of from the bottom of your heart.This is not the fear of seeing bloody scenes, but the deep fear of the unknown.You can't see it, but you know it's there, but you don't know when it will find you.

"And then, Xiaoxuan? I know that this year will be difficult for you." I feel sorry for this girl.Perhaps because I am an older unmarried young man who has experienced many blows from lovelorn and betrayal, and my career is not considered successful, I subconsciously hope to find a girl who shares the same disease.Facing a girl with too good conditions, I would actually feel inferior.

"Many girls clamor to add moisture to the skin, but do you know what it looks like if you add too much moisture? Forget it, you don't want to know." Xiaoxuan replied.

After being silent for a while, Xiaoxuan continued: "You know that the air is very polluted now, and the water vapor in the air is extremely dirty. There is everything in it, especially in summer. I was really afraid that I would become a monster, so I had to quit my job again. Job, wait until the fall when the weather is dry to find another job.

"In order to deal with the moisture in the air, do you know how I deal with my house? I covered the floor with desiccant, and the room can suck people dry, so I can barely sleep peacefully. Do you think there are still people in the world? Someone worse than me?"

I wanted to say something to comfort Xiaoxuan, but I couldn't think of what to say, so I just kept silent.

In the third year, on the same day again, I switched to another absorbency.This time it's the human mind.

You also find it strange, right? I thought so too at the time.I thought I would absorb something else in the third year, but it turned out to be human thoughts.Thoughts or thoughts are not entities, how could they be absorbed by me?
At the beginning, I thought that this year would be easier, but I was wrong, because there is no entity, it does not mean that it is less tormenting to people.

I don't think you have tried the taste of insomnia for a month. Although I have covered my body tightly, I still absorb a lot of thoughts every day.There are those who have conflicts in the company and think about how to poach the wall; some are envious and jealous of other people's beauty; ; Some are thinking about how to go to the front desk for a while to open a room; some are thinking about why the boss doesn’t break his leg just so that he doesn’t have to work overtime on weekends; some are thinking about whether to buy two eggs to boil or three eggs to scramble after work with food.In short, everything you can think of, and everything you can't think of, is in my head. Every day, it rumbles like a train passing through a cave, until dawn.

"It keeps ringing until dawn?" I didn't understand. "How is this possible? You should live alone. How could you absorb other people's thoughts at night?"

"It's true, you forget that dreaming is also a human idea. And the strange thing is that maybe because of the dead of night, or because my absorption ability has increased, I can absorb the dreams of neighbors up, down, left, and right. In this way, others may only dream at night. One dream, but I want to have ten or eight dreams, and these dreams are twisted and tangled together. The dream of sitting in the car rushing down a steep hill, the dream of the boss who can't finish the work and scolds you to get out, The dream of quarreling and fighting with others and being unable to run, the dream of constantly picking up money on the road—it’s still one or two yuan, never more than ten yuan. Dreaming that I can fly, but I can’t fly high enough to leave The ground... In short, it is full of strange things.

"I saw another world, but this world was distorted so badly that it caused me great pain. I even thought, is my one year equivalent to others' ten years, and will I age prematurely?"

"You have been struggling like this for a year?" I felt my heart twitch and hurt because of this poor girl.

"No." Xiaoxuan replied with a relaxed tone, although her facial expression was still icy.This relieved me too.

Xiaoxuan continued: "I left the company soon. Hehe, you can't think of it, I used my ability to learn some business secrets of the company, and I made some money. With that money, I will resign immediately , did not waste a moment, and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion. If I persisted for a few more days, I might earn ten years of living expenses, but I really don’t want to stay in the company for a day. What I thought at the time was , I took the money to leave some for my parents, bought a large amount of insurance, and committed suicide when the rest of the money was spent. In such a day, life may not be happier than death.

"This is the only time I have lived happily in five years. I understand the true meaning of the phrase 'other people are hell'. I couldn't bear to die again. Only then did I realize how difficult it is to die, so I continued to live on. "
