Chapter 23: Deep in a nightmare
The two are already in a nightmare?
This guess made Xu Cheng feel heavy, but he was not panicked.
The strong light filled the field of vision gradually disappeared, and what appeared before the two of them was a living room and a living room room.
The small living room was filled with debris, and an old dining table was placed in the middle, with leftovers and a bottle of white wine with only a few bites left.
There are two people in the living room, one and one, three, obviously, a family of three.
The drunk father pulled his mother's long hair with one hand and kept slamming her face with the other hand, making her skin burst.
The mother let out a shrill scream, her hands were unable to block in front of her.
There was also a young girl of five or six years old who was huddled in the corner of the living room, her eyes were filled with tears and her face was pale.
Obviously, this is a domestic violence incident.
"This is……"
Qi Minghui was stunned. Not only did he suddenly appear, he was a family of three, but he also had the sunlight shining in from the window.
The clock hanging on the wall shows that it is now 12 noon, and when they pushed the door open, it was still dark outside.
Apart from one door, it is turned upside down day and night.
Qi Minghui turned his head in shock and looked at Xu Cheng, seeing Xu Cheng's calm face.
"Don't be nervous, we may be dreaming, and it's normal for whatever to happen."
Xu Cheng reminded him that after he realized that the two of them had fallen into a nightmare, he was mentally prepared. Even if Qi Minghui was dancing in a naked apron in front of him, he would not be surprised.
Xu Cheng's calmness infected Qi Minghui, which made him suppress his panic and hesitated: "You mean, we are asleep like those unconscious women?"
"Or what power do you think can make us run from night to day all at once?"
Xu Cheng pointed at the family of three in front of him: "They didn't even notice us."
Only then did Qi Minghui notice that the drunken bride was still beating his mother fiercely, and his daughter hid timidly in the corner. The family of three did not notice that there were two more people in the family.
It turns out that I'm just dreaming!
Qi Minghui didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or worry.
Xu Cheng looked back and saw that the door where the two of them had disappeared. There was a wall behind him, and there was a calendar book on it.
The calendar book shows the time on September 3, 15 years ago, which makes Xu Cheng confirm that this place is in a nightmare.
But, whose nightmare is it?
Xu Cheng is very sure that he has never experienced or seen such a scene before, and neither does Qi Minghui seem to have.
Then, as usual...
Xu Cheng's eyes fell on the little girl with a terrified face.
The cruel beating continued, and the drunkard spit out all kinds of dirty words that were unpleasant from his ears.
Qi Minghui couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stop it, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Xu Cheng with an inquiring look.
Xu Cheng, who was thinking, noticed his gaze and nodded.
"Try it."
The reason why I agreed to Qi Minghui take action was to see if the two of them could change the content of the nightmare.
Qi Minghui, who had agreed, was excited and picked up his kitchen suit - a sharp knife, and a shield spliced with two plastic cutting boards.
"Stop it!!"
Qi Minghui shouted loudly, raised his leg and kicked the drunkard hard.
As a result, he kicked in the air and his feet penetrated directly through the drunkard. He lost his balance because he tried too hard and a split fell to the ground.
"Fuck!"
Accompanied by the sound of the fabric tearing, Qi Minghui covered his crotch-opener pants with both hands and screamed in pain, almost rolling on the ground.
Xu Cheng is full of black lines. Can you not play awkwardly in such a serious occasion?
He ignored the unlucky Qi Minghui and quickly walked around the dining table toward the door, trying to open the door, but he couldn't touch the door handle and could not go through the door.
It seems that the two are trapped in this place and are bystanders who cannot change the content of the nightmare.
In this case, why didn’t you see other women who are sleepy?
Xu Cheng couldn't guess the answer for a while, so he turned his head to look at Qi Minghui who was humming: "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay."
Qi Minghui got up from the ground with a bitter face and pointed to the scene of violence in front of him: "Brother Cheng, what should I do now?"
"What else can I do? Let's take a look first."
Xu Cheng replied, focusing on his mind, the nightmare prompt was still +1, and it had accumulated to 7 o'clock.
According to previous experience, as long as you accumulate to 100 points, you can copy the ability of nightmare.
But there was still a long time before the accumulation of 100 points. Xu Cheng touched the cross hanging around his neck and resisted the urge to take it out.
The cross cannot be used multiple times. It is a restricted trump card and must be used at the most dangerous and critical moments.
With the two of them watching, the violence finally ended.
The woman was beaten to death and fell to the ground motionless. The drunkard continued to sit at the table and drank the remaining few sips of wine.
The little girl huddled in the corner was frightened. She wanted to see her mother, but she didn't dare to move, for fear of being beaten.
The calendar book on the wall began to change, time flowed forward day by day, and the windows alternated day and night.
The girl grew up, and the drunkard kept torturing his wife in different ways. Seeing Xu Cheng and Qi Minghui were furious and their fists were hard.
If this drunkard really appears in front of the two, his legs will be broken 100%.
Time flies in the blink of an eye. The 9-year-old girl came home from school. As soon as she entered the house, she saw two feet shaking gently in the air in the living room.
Her mother finally couldn't stand the torture and committed suicide.
The little girl looked up at her mother hanging in the living room fan, her eyes widened, and her little face turned pale, deeply engraved in Xu Cheng and Qi Minghui's minds.
Time continues to flow forward, and the object of the drunkard torture becomes a little girl.
The scenes that made Qi Minghui soared his blood pressure made him so angry that he cursed and shouted.
Xu Cheng also felt a lot of pressure. The atrocities that happened in front of him could not be stopped and he was suffering in his heart.
At the same time, he also found that his and Qi Minghui's emotions were affected by nightmare and became difficult to stabilize.
The surrounding environment has finally changed, no longer a small and compact living room, but a bright and spacious school classroom.
The teacher was not there, and the students were gathered together. The little girl sat in the middle, with long bangs covering her forehead and eyes, only showing her delicate nose and lips, and holding her hands uneasily.
A boy flashed into the crowd, and laughter resounded throughout the classroom.
Qi Minghui was so angry that he subconsciously reached out to grab the boy, but he grabbed it in a hurry and realized that this was just a nightmare.
The little girl lowered her head, hugged her shoulders with her hands and shivered.
The experiences from childhood to adulthood make the little girl not know how to resist and will only bury her head like an ostrich.
Xu Cheng stared at the trembling little girl, and had already guessed her identity in his heart.
Time continued to flow, and the little girl went to junior high school and had to take care of her for a long time at home. The whole world seemed to be full of malice towards her.
