Chu Yunsheng rarely dreamed, and he was also afraid of dreaming. Because after the Great Darkness, his dreams were always nightmares.
Because he rarely dreamed, every time he had a dream, he could clearly remember the nightmare in his dream.
He didn't know if it was because he was stimulated by the conversation with Wen Luo at noon, but tonight, he had a dream again.
The content of the dream was very erratic, very absurd, colorful, and unpredictable. One moment, he felt that he was still in the node reincarnation, it was a clean reincarnation, and the next moment, he felt that he had returned to the age of light, nothing had happened yet, it was like the seventh era.
He didn't know which one it was exactly. In short, they were all mixed up together.
The beginning of the dream was not precise, it was very vague, but soon he seemed to see Wen Luo. He was still the small staff member of the company, sitting behind the crowd in the big conference room, pretending to hold a notebook and a pen, listening to Wen Luo talking to several leaders in the conference room. He didn't know where they were talking about, but in the blink of an eye, they were talking about him. He didn't know why, but Wen Luo was criticizing him. Manager Zhao was next to him, and from time to time, he would defend him. But he was so nervous that he didn't dare to say anything. He just wanted to endure it as soon as possible so that the leaders wouldn't think that he didn't listen to their criticism and lose his job.
Then he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the small staff member he used to be. Why would he still listen to their criticism!? Why would he still listen to their criticism!?
Just when he was about to leave, the meeting was over. He just got off work in a daze. Carrying his bag, he squeezed into the subway, and followed the crowd. As he walked, he thought, 'I'm no longer a small staff member, then who am I? Why can't I remember? '
In a trance, he felt that he should be very powerful in the past. His power shocked the world, and he also killed a lot of people. His hands and feet were covered with blood, and he was surrounded by twisted human bones and corpses. His ears were filled with miserable screams. It was as if he was in hell.
The cold wind that carried the smell of blood incessantly trembled his body, and the ghostly cries constantly drilled into his head, twining around him like a ghost that would not disperse. He could not shake it off no matter how hard he tried.
His head began to hurt, as if there was a blender constantly roaring in it, crushing and stirring. He became more and more eager to know who he was!?
He thought hard and wandered aimlessly on the street, watching all kinds of people pass by him in a hurry. He looked at the unfamiliar faces and guessed the stories and lives behind these strangers whom he had crossed paths with in an instant. It was the strange stories and lives that he could not see and never knew, all intertwined in this one encounter. There were even more people that he did not even know existed, living under the same sky as him, playing out the lives that he did not know. Thus, the whole world became exciting and ever-changing.
The sky gradually darkened. Looking up at the dark sky, he seemed to have found some parts of himself that he had lost and remembered some things that belonged to him. Every time he thought of something, the smell of blood in his nostrils would weaken a little, and the wailing and howling in his ears would lessen a little, and his eyes would become colder.
After wandering for a while, he felt very tired, very tired, and wanted to to go, and wanted to go to go home.
"I'm in the supermarket. I bought your favorite food and a bottle of red wine … Come back early tonight …"
The voice on the phone was very familiar, as if it had never changed in his memory. It was still so warm, so happy.
But he could hear that the voice was a little different from the past. It seemed to be mixed with a trace of excitement, happiness, and worry.
He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. His heart was filled with extreme fear, as if the person on the other side of the phone would never see him again after he said those words. He would never, ever see her again …
He ran in the direction of the supermarket in his memory like a madman. He wanted to stop the fear and all the bad premonitions in his heart, even if he had to pay with his life.
His shoes fell off and his clothes were messed up. He ran without a care for anything else. All kinds of memories came flooding in like a tide, flashing past both sides of his eyes. There were all kinds of faces. Some were sneering, some were crying, some were shouting, and some were silent. They were all looking at him, staring at him, trying to grab him and hold him back.
More and more things came to his mind, and his footsteps became faster and faster. He seemed to have known that as long as he was a little slower, he would never see the person on the other side of the phone again.
He loved that person too much.
Finally, he arrived at the supermarket. The person had just come out of the door with a shopping cart. She was wearing a light pink and white dress, like a cherry blossom that had just bloomed. She smiled and looked at him with some surprise.
But she did not speak.
He rushed up and hugged the owner of the dress tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear. He buried his head in her hair and smelled the familiar scent. His tears flowed down and he called out in a hoarse and trembling voice.
"Li, is that you?"
…
In the lounge of the speedboat.
Ashe came to Chu Yunsheng's bed nervously, and her mind was in a mess. But when she was suddenly hugged tightly by Chu Yunsheng, she was shocked but did not dare to struggle. She just let Chu Yunsheng's hands tightly hold her naked body in his arms.
She believed that Chu Yunsheng was awake. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to hug her. So, the king actually wanted her. Then, she had no reason to hesitate, she could only obey.
It was true that she did have a serious obsession with cleanliness, and she hated anything in that regard. But at least she was the first woman since her lord "woke up", so she was much cleaner. Therefore, she always had a reason to convince herself.
She was born to be the sacrifice of the king. She was the king's woman, so she naturally had to do what she had to do.
Just when she was thinking about this, she suddenly felt a slight coldness on her shoulder, like a drop of water falling on her skin.
She looked back and found that it was tears, it was her lord's.
Ashe was stunned. She didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know what to do. But she clearly heard that Wang called out a name in a trembling voice – Li.
"Li, is that you?"
Ashe really couldn't understand this awkward-sounding Eastern language, but when the king hugged her tightly, his body trembled slightly, and he repeated this sentence over and over again from the bottom of his heart with deep affection and extreme sadness, she understood.
Her lord was calling a woman's name, a name that was enough to break her lord's heart.
Ashe's heart trembled. She couldn't imagine that the Undead King, who usually didn't like to smile and was not very strict but absolutely murderous, could actually show such a tender and fragile side for a woman's name.
Looking at her lord's affectionate face, listening to her lord's whispering, and feeling her lord's arms tightly holding her, as if he was afraid that she would fly away, she couldn't imagine what kind of woman could make the undead king so sad and miss her so intensely!
Ashe even felt a little jealous, a woman's inherent jealousy towards another woman.
At the same time, as the shadow of another woman, being held in her lord's arms, she also felt that her current situation was very ridiculous and sad.
Her lord was still talking nonsense, looking up, gently stroking her face, his eyes were misty,
"Li, you are pregnant, why didn't you tell me?"
"Li, is it really you?"
…
"You don't seem to be the same as before. Has it been too long? I can't believe I forgot what you look like … "
"Why don't you speak? Do you still hate me?"
"I'm useless, I couldn't save your daughter, I'm sorry."
"I'm really useless, I can't save anyone, I can't even get your body back …"
"I'm so tired, take me away, we will never come back."
…
Ashe couldn't understand a word, she could only sadly cooperate with Chu Yunsheng's every move. Although she had never really come into contact with the relationship between a man and a woman, this was the information age. It was enough to make her understand that if her lord woke up at this moment, there would only be two possibilities. One was that her lord would fall into extreme pain, and the other was that her lord would be furious on the spot.
In fact, the situation was more complicated than she thought. At the moment when Chu Yunsheng touched Ashe's smooth skin, the third force hidden in the zero-dimensional space became restless. However, as soon as it appeared, it was destroyed by his strong yearning and deep self-reproach. He didn't even feel anything.
The abnormal movement of the third force touched the other two forces. The consciousness carried by the Wuzi Fragment immediately calmed Chu Yunsheng down quickly, and the black gas also spiraled down from the depths of the vortex, invading his limbs and bones.
Looking at Chu Yunsheng's gradually clear eyes, Ashe was shocked. She realized that something was wrong. Just as she was about to explain, Chu Yunsheng suddenly pushed her away and said in an extremely cold tone, "You are not Li, who are you!?"
His tone was cold, but his eyes were filled with extreme disappointment, even disgust and hatred. Looking at such eyes and listening to such a tone, Ashe, who was mercilessly pushed to the cold and wet warehouse floor, felt more sad than nervous at the moment. If she could still be regarded as a shadow just now, now she was not even a shadow.
"I, I —" Ashe wrapped her naked body with the sheet and didn't know what to say.
Chu Yunsheng pulled out the long sword on the armor next to him, pointed the tip of the sword at the tip of her nose, and asked sternly, "Where did you take her!?"
At this time, Buterne, who heard the sound of the sword outside the door, was worried that there might be an assassination, so she hurriedly rushed in. However, when she looked up, she saw Chu Yunsheng looking at her coldly and said with hatred, "Are you Realm Messenger Ge? Where did you take Li? "
He was still speaking Chinese, so Buterne didn't dare to move because she couldn't understand.
At this moment, the movement was even louder. The vampires next door were all alarmed, and they all became alert. Wen Luo, who was standing on the side of the cabin door, asked, "What happened?"
It was a woman's voice, and she was speaking in Chinese. So when Chu Yunsheng, who was not fully awake, heard it, he immediately had more reasons to not wake up. He would rather stay in the dream.
He left Ashe and Buterne, rushed out, and shouted in a low voice, "Li, where are you? Don't go, take me with you! "
Ashe couldn't understand what Chu Yunsheng said, but Wen Luo could. When Chu Yunsheng shouted Li's name again and again, holding her shoulders tightly, and finally moved away from her face with extreme disappointment, she finally knew that if there was a previous life, the person Chu Yunsheng came to was not her, but another woman, a woman named "Li".
All the vampires on the ship were awakened, and they gathered in the cabin hall, whispering to each other, but in the end, no one dared to approach Chu Yunsheng on the deck outside the ship.
At this moment, in the eyes of vampires, the king was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, and no one wanted to touch this bad luck.
From Wen Luo, Buterne roughly figured out what Chu Yunsheng was talking about just now. She glanced at Ashe, who was extremely embarrassed, sympathetically. Before, her worries finally came true. There was indeed a person in the king's heart, not Wen Luo, but a strange woman named "Li".
…
The rain flowed along Chu Yunsheng's hair and clothes. In the heavy rain, his consciousness had completely returned to calmness and sobriety, and he returned to reality from the dream.
But he didn't want to go back to the cabin, he just wanted to stand quietly in the rain like this.
He didn't know when it started, probably since the first time he was trapped in the zero-dimensional space, this torturous sense of loneliness had always existed. No matter how he tried to integrate into the world at that time, he seemed to be out of place, and he was constantly rejected by the surroundings. It was just like the warning he heard when the ghost soldiers passed by in the Pseudo-Monolith — you are already dead, and you are just lingering in the human world …
He didn't smile bitterly, nor was he sad, nor was he excited. He just silently looked at the ocean-like flood, lonely and without saying a word.
He didn't expect that he could still remember the last call Liu Li gave him, and the "last words" that would last for more than 30 years.
At this moment, he also vaguely remembered that he didn't "go back earlier" that day, but because of a project that he had long forgotten, he didn't see Liu Li again. At that time, he thought that she was angry and threw a tantrum, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Until later … he didn't expect that he would see her again more than 30 years later.
And now, he could only dream of her in his dreams.
Today, for the first time, he desperately wanted to leave the earth as soon as possible. Whether it was the Sixth Era or the Seventh Era, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, leave this place that once made him sad and desperate, and perhaps, never come back again.
