The gray fog enveloped the mailbox and dissipated from Su Wu's field of vision.
Two parallel walls facing forward sandwiched Su Wu and continued to extend forward.
Su Wu looked at the layers of 'Missing Person Notices' posted on the blue brick wall. His eyes searched the gaps between the writings, and finally confirmed that among the 'Missing Person Notices' on the surrounding walls, there were no such ones.
'Zhang Shuangguo' usually made him familiar with him.
He stepped forward.
The dark sky pressed down.
A full moon with large black spots hung in front of Su Wu, in the center of the lane.
Although the tangled hair was no longer in the sky, the gloomy and gloomy feeling still enveloped the sky and never disappeared.
"Meow--"
Just as Su Wu was striding forward, a cat meowed suddenly in the darkness.
The cat's meow seemed particularly abrupt in this silent environment!
The moment the cat meowed, a black cat with messy fur, clumps of hair tangled in its hair, and a terrifying, gloomy and eerie sound silently landed on the high earthen wall.
It moved its four hooves and ran forward quickly, pulling the hair all over its body and following behind it, meandering forward with its figure!
Su Wu looked at the black cat, his pupils twitching slightly.
That black cat once appeared in ‘Lao Lang’s Drug Store’!
At that time, the black-shirted person on the wicker chair was caressing the hair on the black cat's back - combing out the tangled hair on the black cat's back!
What's the connection between this cat and Fanggui?!
What does it have to do with ‘Ghost Doctor’?!
As Su Wu's thoughts flashed, he suddenly moved - taking advantage of the shadow cast by the moon in the sky around the alley, he instantly stepped onto the high wall and chased after the trotting black cat!
"Meow!"
The black cat sensed his pursuit and suddenly turned back to look at him.
Under the clumps of black hair surrounding the cat's head, a pale, wrinkled face of an old woman appeared.
The old woman looked at Su Wu with a smile on her face. She grinned, revealing her shaky yellow teeth: "Your eyes are really bright..."
Eyes bright?
What's the meaning?
Su Wu's thoughts were spinning, and his body movements were not affected at all. He quickly approached the black cat with the help of the shadow. After the black cat spoke, he turned back and continued to trot on the high wall.
It neither speeds up nor slows down.
But even though Su Wu kept speeding up, he still kept the same distance from it.
In fact, the distance is getting wider and wider!
Seeing the black cat trotting towards the end of the high wall, Su Wu suddenly understood - although the cat's speed did not change, the wall under his and the black cat's feet was constantly lengthening -
This thought flashed out for a moment, and the high wall under Su Wu's feet was like a loose rubber band - suddenly shortened!
The black cat trotted to the end of the high wall, and the distance between it and Su Wu quickly shortened!
In the end, there was only one step between Su Wu and Black Cat!
"Meow!"
The black cat jumped up in an instant and jumped into the darkness ahead!
Su Wu suddenly jumped out and grabbed the black cat's tail - he then jumped into the darkness, and the cat's tail that he was about to catch, swept it a few times out of boredom, and completely disappeared from his sight!
He missed it!
Landed in a pool of black water!
The dark sky reflected the pool into pitch black, and the cold pool water was submerged up to Su Wu's waist.
Su Wu recognized the surrounding environment, held the 'Black Ksitigarbha' in hand, and waded into the water.
"Du-da-da-da-"
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, trumpets, suonas, gongs and drums sounded from all directions, making a mess in Su Wu's ears!
A series of colorful paper figures, blowing paper trumpets and beating paper gongs and drums, gathered towards Su Wu from all directions. They gathered into two teams more than ten feet away from Su Wu. The two teams of paper figures kept interlacing and approached towards Su Wu.
Su Wu——
Su Wu held up the 'Black Ksitigarbha', and the eight-foot seedling knife split into countless white bone sickle blades, sweeping through the two groups of approaching paper figurines like a python - one after another, the paper figurines were cut into two parts by the Black Ksitigarbha.
, fell behind Su Wu, swayed in the water for a while, then blew the paper trumpet and beat the paper gongs and drums and went away!
Black Jizo chopped off each paper figurine!
But it only cuts them off and has no effect on them at all!
what on earth is it?!
Watching the two teams of paper figures playing and jumping away from him, Su Wu's eyes twitched and he suddenly grabbed a paper figure at the end of the team——
He grabbed the paper man by the neck and lifted it out of the water.
There are two groups of dark blush on the pink face of the paper man.
At this moment, she looked at him with a playful smile.
He frowned, but before he made any move, the playful paper figure in his hand looked like paper that had been soaked in water - the watercolor filled the air and turned into a colorful mess!
Su Wu suddenly pushed the 'paper figure' in his hand into the water, trying to wash away the 'unclean' watercolors!
The paper figure was washed under the water, and when he lifted it out, it turned into a piece of white paper.
He threw the white paper into the water and washed it.
A series of writings appeared on the white paper: "The analysis of dreams - the boundary between reality and dreams."
Welcome everyone to watch the "Interpretation of Dreams" column!
‘The Boundary between Reality and Dreams’ is the first issue of this column.
In this issue, this newspaper will focus on discussing with you where the boundary between 'dream' and 'reality' lies. I wonder if you have ever had a similar feeling when dreaming - someone in the dream
Some scenes and some people seem to have never been encountered by us in reality, but in dreams, we are so familiar with that environment and those people?
Is this some causal connection?
Or is it because the dream made a brief prediction about the 'real future'.
Or is it that we are familiar with certain scenes and people in dreams just because the ‘dream’ itself makes us familiar and gives us the ability to be familiar with these environments and people?
Exploring this seemingly unfounded sense of familiarity and investigating its causes is actually enough to distinguish the boundary between 'dream' and 'reality'.
Here, we first make a statement - when we fall into deep sleep, we are undefended from the outside world, or in other words, our defense against the outside world at this time is at a minimum.
When we sleep, we are not on guard against the outside world.
When we fall into a dream, we will naturally 'believe' this dream.
'Believe' that everything you see before you is real, and 'believe' in the various relationships between yourself and the people in your dreams. This 'belief' shatters our logical thinking in reality.
‘Believe’ makes dreams and reality have no boundaries...
So friends, do you believe that you are dreaming now?
You believe that dreams are reality.
Don’t you believe it, there is always a boundary between dreams and reality.”
"Believe, believe..." Su Wu lowered his head and whispered to himself.
He crumpled up the paper in his hand and threw it into the puddle.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were shining.
——He now believes that he is indeed in a dream.
In the pool, the waist-deep water gradually receded to Su Wu's feet, and mist gradually rose all around.
A bright sun hung in the sky, reflecting the mist all around in various colors.
Su Wu walked out of this potholed area step by step, passed through a wild forest, and saw graves and mountains scattered in the green mist.
There was a strong man sitting on a pile of graves, pulling out the three candles stuck on the rice, holding the bowl of rice and eating deliciously.
The writing on the tombstone in front of the tomb where the strong man is sitting has long been mottled and blurred, and the specific content on it cannot be clearly seen.
Su Wu walked past the tomb, took a few steps, and then fell back.
"Excuse me for disturbing you." He walked to the foot of the tomb and saluted the strong man sitting high on the tomb with a big mouthful of uncooked rice.
The strong man put one hand on his knees, holding his rice bowl, and scratched his head with the other hand. He looked at Su Wu and said nothing.
The smile on Su Wu's face did not change, and he continued to ask the strong man: "Sir, I have traveled a long way to get here. I don't know the specific time now, so I take the liberty of disturbing you. May I ask, what time is it now?"
Hearing Su Wu's question, the strong man was stunned.
He untied the long braid around his neck, wiped his mouth, and looked at Su Wu with eyes full of doubts and surprise: "Can you see me?
Are you a local like us?"
"Shiba is joking." Su Wu smiled and shook his head and said, "Shiba is sitting here. I'm not blind. Isn't it normal to be able to see Shiba?
I walked over from Hongfa Pawnshop, which is seven or eight miles away, not far from here - I shouldn't be considered a foreigner, right?"
Su Wu had an inexplicable smile on his face.
He gradually understood some of the 'rules' operating in this world.
The unknown existence in the dark has been leading him into the deepest part of the world. The 'old man in black shirt who gave the black cat' and the 'black cat with an old woman's face' that Su Wu met along the way went to Lao Lang's drugstore to find...
The "invisible patient" who prescribed the medicine, "Wang Qingping's two-story mansion", and even the strong man sitting on the graveyard eating at the moment may all be some kind of "guidance" left to him by an unknown existence.
Now he wanted to see what the unknown existence in the dark wanted to do?
Solving this mystery - Jiang Yingying, Grandpa Jiang, and even other mysteries such as "Zhang Shuangguo's Memory Missing Notice" may all be solved!
When Su Wu mentioned "Hongfa Pawnshop seven or eight miles away," the strong man's eyes changed slightly. He looked Su Wu up and down and said, "Since you have been to Hongfa Pawnshop, you should know that the pawnshop is slanted."
Opposite, is there a red brick western-style building?"
"I've seen it before." Su Wu nodded.
"That red brick western-style building - it's so scary!" The strong man jumped down from the tombstone, squatted on the tombstone with the porcelain bowl in his hand, touched his leather and felt apron with both hands, and asked Su
Wu cupped his hands and saluted, "I thought you couldn't see me, so I kept silent. What's the point of neglect? Please bear with me!"
"It's me who's bothering me, how can I blame me for being lazy?
That's too polite of you." Su Wu also responded with a hand.
"Hehe..." The strong man grinned, looking left and right. He suddenly picked up the bowl of uncooked rice squatting on the tombstone and handed it to Su Wu, "Have you eaten? Do you want some food?"
