Volume Two, Chapter Sixteen, Awakening from a Midnight Dream
Lu Sheng was startled. He opened his eyes violently, and the face that came into view almost caused his soul to fly out of his body.
Xiao Wu's face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lu Sheng stared at Xiao Wu in front of him, and fear instantly attacked every cell in his body. Has he turned into a ghost? Lu Sheng didn't believe this at first, but the face in front of him made Lu Sheng
Sheng began to have random thoughts.
In a panic, he held the sofa back with his hands, moved his body back hurriedly, pushed hard on the sofa and bent his legs. At this time, his body was in the shape of an M, and he entered an obvious state of self-protection.
Xiao Wu did not move, but his face kept facing Lu Sheng's direction.
"Xiao Wu, that was, that was an accident, I, I didn't mean it..." The sound coming from Lu Sheng's throat became more and more serious.
In the dark environment, black completely replaced Xiao Wu's original skin color. Looking at it this way, his expression seemed even more unfathomable. Maybe there was no expression at all, just a face that had no soul.
Xiao Wu did not speak, but kept covering his head with his right hand. His eyes, which were originally full of determination, were now dim, staring directly at Lu Sheng, who was almost curled up into a ball.
Lu Sheng looked at the motionless Xiao Wu, especially the position of his eyes, which looked more like a pair of round black holes, like black holes that could swallow everything, and there were two of them.
Lu Sheng took a breath and wanted to escape from the death-like gaze, but unable to dodge, he inadvertently looked at the hole like an abyss again. The black hole was greedily sucking in all the prey on the edge of the darkness, together with
The light in Lu Sheng's eyes was slowly disappearing.
…
"Master..."
The ethereal voice gradually became full of curses, and Lu Sheng woke up again, but he didn't want to open his eyes now, because through that familiar voice, he knew that there would still be that familiar face next to him.
Lu Sheng covered his ears with his hands, not wanting to hear that "Master" again. He almost begged and said, "Xiao Wu, what do you want to do?"
In the empty environment, his words turned into short and desperate sounds. Lu Sheng regretted that he had just called out, because then, in the darkness, he would know that Xiao Wu would know that he was afraid.
There was no response, and the air seemed to suddenly become quiet. Perhaps the collision between air molecules would break the death-like silence, so the air solidified instantly.
After a long time, Lu Sheng still didn't hear any other sounds except his own rapid breathing. He tentatively opened his eyes slowly.
Xiao Wu's hand covering his head moved away slowly and mechanically. Only then did Lu Sheng realize that what Xiao Wu had been covering was the spot where he was shot in the head.
Everything in front of him made Lu Sheng's pupils dilate to the limit. He wanted to escape, but the fear had made his body surrender and he could not move.
The liquid with an unclear color began to seep out from where his palm left, flowed to his face, and then to his chin. Gradually, it flowed more and more, and finally dripped onto the sofa. Slowly, the entire sofa was covered.
It was soaked in wet liquid and exuded a strong smell of blood.
Perhaps out of reluctance, or because of pain, Xiao Wu's face began to become severely distorted, and it was almost no longer a human face!
Lu Sheng was completely frightened. On what could be called Xiao Wu's face, he could only recognize a pair of eyes, and these eyes actually emitted two dazzling beams of light at this moment...
…
A strong beam of light shone on Lu Sheng's face. Although his eyes were closed tightly and his hands were quickly put in front of his eyes to block them due to conditioned reflex, his protected eyes couldn't help but want to open them.
The truth.
The sofa was located just below the lamp in the living room, and the light shone unreservedly on Lu Sheng's body, stimulating his eyes that were accustomed to the dark night.
"Master, Master, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhu had already walked back from the light switch in the living room and was standing bent over the sofa, asking worriedly.
Seeing this face again, Lu Sheng shouted in panic, "What the hell are you going to do? Is it a human or a ghost!"
Xiao Zhu heard what Lu Sheng had just said repeatedly about Xiao Wu, so he hurriedly comforted him and said, "Master, it's me, I'm Xiao Zhu, Zhu Ren!"
After hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Lu Sheng looked around again and immediately realized the gaffe he had just made. He quickly explained, "It's okay, it's just a dream, a nightmare!"
Xiao Zhu asked with concern, "Master, I heard you talk about Xiao Wu many times in my dreams and dreams. Who is this Xiao Wu?"
Lu Sheng is also confused now, yes, Xiao Wu, who are you? Lu Sheng thought back, from the parting with Xiaoqing at the bus stop to what happened just now, was it a dream? Is it reality? Or was it a memory?
It's a dream, but it's so realistic, it's reality, but it's so unreal!
"Perhaps, he is a person who is very similar to you." Lu Sheng was lying on his side on the sofa. He did not look at Xiao Zhu and said thoughtfully.
"It's very similar?" Xiao Zhu repeated Lu Sheng's words with an expectant look, waiting for more words from him.
Lu Sheng glanced at Xiao Zhu and saw his expectant expression, but Lu Sheng had no intention of continuing, "Let's talk about it later when we have time. It's too late, so go to bed first!"
"Oh," Xiao Zhu stood up with some disappointment. Just as he turned to leave, he asked again, "Do you need to turn off the light?"
"I'll go to lock you up later. You can go back to the house and rest first."
Lu Sheng had completely lost his sleepiness, and his body lying on his side curled up into a ball. He did not turn off the light. Now, only the light would bring him some sense of security. He did not want to face the deathly darkness again.
That deathly silence.
In the night sky outside the window, layers of thin clouds in the sky covered all the stars. The moon was no longer visible from where Lu Sheng was lying. Countless pictures began to appear randomly under the night, like watching other people's stories, or like
Lu Sheng’s own memories.
Lu Sheng just looked out the window. The thin clouds gradually dispersed, the stars gradually disappeared, and the sky began to increase in brightness until the horizon became as white as a fish belly, until the sun lazily began to climb above the horizon.
Xiao Zhu had already dressed, walked out of the bedroom, looked at Lu Sheng and whispered, "Master, let's go have breakfast."
Lu Sheng felt deeply sleepy at this moment. The bright sky made him completely let go of his guard. Xiao Zhu's voice became weaker and weaker, and Lu Sheng finally fell asleep again.
