Just by looking at his back, I recognized him completely. That man is thin!

I lost consciousness all of a sudden, my heartbeat and breathing were disordered.

The thin man is dead...dead? how so!

Although I have long had this suspicion and thought that thin people are more likely to have bad luck, I have always been unwilling to accept this fact.

Even if I could resurrect the thin man and change the fact that the thin man died, the moment I knew that the thin man would die, my brain still went blank.

The elevator door is about to close, and the thin man is about to step out of my sight.

I reacted immediately, rushed to the skinny man and yelled wildly: "Arui! Wait! Arui!"

I reached out my hand to pull the thin man. But my outstretched hand didn't touch the thin man's body.

how so?

I grabbed it a few times with my free hands and passed through the skinny man's body.

I shouted again, but the thin man didn't respond.

The corner is almost here!

"Ye Qing! Ye Qing, stop him!" I turned my head and shouted to the people around me, "Please... you can do it! You can control my abilities!"

Ye Qing is fully capable of doing this. I don't have to worry about him losing control now. He found a food source with a steady stream of ghosts for him to devour.

It was obviously like this, but I didn't get a response when I shouted.

My heart skipped a beat.

I didn't suspect that Ye Qing did it deliberately, but I thought of the previous dream.

That dream about ghost whispers, was it Ye Qing who showed it to me to explain to me what he was doing now, or was it someone else who wanted me to see it?

Qiu Ziyang, who appeared inexplicably in my side-effect vision, had already aroused my suspicion. At this moment, I had such suspicion again.

However, what I further thought about at this moment was not the person who controlled my ability, but Ye Qing's situation.

Ye Qing did not control my dream. He might not have followed me into the dream at all.

In Guiyu's dream, he suddenly discovered me and pushed me out of the dream.

Now, I suddenly jumped from Qi Bai's father's dream to Slender Man's dream...

There is a dangerous enemy lurking around me. Ye Qing may not be able to catch up and protect me...

swish swish...

The leather shoes made a scraping sound on the carpet. The sound was very slight, but it was amplified in my ears.

That Mr. Xu has already walked around the corner and is about to walk to the hotel lobby.

The thin man is slower than him and is about to reach the corner.

I just have to deal with this on my own.

I forced myself to calm down and floated to the thin man.

I still remember that when I first used my abilities, I didn’t understand anything or what I could do, so I could only foolishly try again and again.

"Arui, stop! Arui, I'm Lynch! Do you hear my voice?" I said these words repeatedly and tried to catch the thin man again and again.

The thin man's footsteps suddenly stopped.

I was overjoyed and immediately discovered that the thin man was standing at the corner, standing in the blind spot of the surveillance.

He stood there for a while, as if listening to something.

I was listening too, but heard nothing.

There is no sound.

I didn't hear a sound, and I didn't hear anything from Slender Man's consciousness.

The thin man turned his head and looked through me.

I turned around quickly and saw the wall behind me.

The wallpaper on the wall has a very ordinary frosted pattern. From a literary point of view, it looks like the golden sand dunes of the desert.

The thin man stared at that wall, as if he saw something in it.

What did you see?

I looked through the thin man's field of vision, and all I saw was that wallpaper.

I took a look around, and all the other wallpapers were like this.

The thin man's expression was a little dazed. His consciousness finally loosened, allowing me to see something.

I saw golden sand... no, it was an hourglass.

In the hand-sized hourglass, golden sand gathers into a straight line.

The hourglass turns upside down once for one minute.

The light shines on the hourglass, and the golden sand reflects the light of the stars.

The snake-shaped sculpture on the hourglass stand is also slightly reflective. The light and shadow reflected by the snake scales will make people mistakenly think that the two snakes are twisting.

One minute.

The fine sand in the hourglass drained away.

"What do you see?"

someone asked.

The thin man saw nothing.

Another person next to me replied: "Well, I saw flowers, they seemed to be magnolias and dandelions."

"Magnolia, dandelion. This means separation. It's not a bad thing. Emotionally, you are separated, but your personal life will go further, and your career and studies will develop positively." The previous voice answered.

The thin man sneered inwardly.

"Ah, is there any way to avoid this?"

"There are ways. Some special means can make you grow old together, but this will affect your other fortunes. There are gains and losses. If you forcefully change your destiny, there will be some backlash. Are you willing?"

The voice next to him hesitated, as if he continued to say something.

But the thin man could no longer hear clearly.

The fine sand in the hourglass rises upward strangely, as if time is reversed.

The hourglass itself began to spin.

The two snakes came to life and wrapped themselves around the hourglass. The sharp fangs pierced into the glass, biting it into pieces.

Sand was scattered all over the floor.

The thin man suddenly woke up. He woke up from his memories and stared at the wall in front of him.

The frosted texture on the wallpaper suddenly came to life and began to flow.

I was shocked.

What patterns the wind would create when it blows through the dunes, that's what's happening on the wallpaper right now.

The sand on the wall was blown off and scattered around the corner of the corridor.

The sand is blinding.

The thin man closed his eyes and raised his hands to cover himself.

The sand surrounded the thin man's body.

I hurriedly reached out and caught nothing.

I turned to touch the wall, but again, I couldn't touch anything, and my body passed directly through the wall.

The figure of the thin man was completely surrounded by sand at this time, and the whole person seemed to be trapped in a sandstorm, and he was located in the center of the sandstorm. Although he was not harmed, he could not see anything and could not move.

Another memory emerged in the thin man's consciousness.

"This is the hourglass of Behemoth. Behemoth is the lord of the world in mythology. The whole world is surrounded by Behemoth's body. The two little snakes in this hourglass are the descendants of Behemoth. , was captured by a powerful witch and made into a frame for the hourglass. The sand inside was made from small scales of Behemoth, so this hourglass has the ability to see the future. Turn the hourglass upside down and wait until the sand leaks out. In this minute, you will see your future."

The thin man still remembers his scornful mood when he heard this.

Behemoth is not a snake. Its more familiar translation is Behemoth. The image of the giant snake surrounding the world has appeared in many myths, but none of them have anything to do with "precognition".

This knowledge was acquired by the thin man while playing games. Many games use mythical characters and mythical monsters as templates for game characters.

The designers at the game company are more reliable than the psychic in front of me. At least they are employees of regular companies. Some game companies are quite large and internationally renowned.

But when he saw the serious expression on Qi Bai's face next to him, the thin man could only swallow the complaints that came to his lips.

Forget it, let's play with her.

The thin man thought so at the time.

Later, when the psychic asked for the cost of changing his life, he interrupted and left with Qi Bai.

"This is too fake." After leaving the small shop, the thin man said to Qi Bai and started to complain endlessly.

Qi Bai frowned, "Oh, it's a bit fake. But... I really saw magnolias and dandelions."

The memory is cut off here.

In the dark sandstorm, the thin man saw the dandelions flying in front of him and the white magnolia above his head.

"Bai Bai..." the thin man murmured.
