Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Xu Minglang trembled all over, and before he could back up in time, there was another sound from the bottom of the bed.

"Brother Xu, it's me!"

This familiar voice...

Xu Minglang stood there dumbfounded, watching a hairy head pop out, and raised a young and beautiful smiling face.

It's Ye Jiawen.

Xu Minglang went up to help her, and asked why she appeared here.

"After you fell, Zhou Xuerong thought you were dead, and for some reason wanted to kill me. I took the elevator and ran out of the hotel. When I walked down the street, I found that something was wrong. There was a road ahead, but I walked anyway. If you don’t get out, it’s like you’ve hit an invisible wall, and then the surroundings change, and I’m back in the suite that trapped me.”

"The oil painting is still in front of me. By the way, I saw you appearing in the oil painting. I know it's really strange to say this, but the painting can move. I also saw you flipping through the bookcase, and there was a video playing on the screen. Other people's videos..." Ye Jiawen became more and more excited as she spoke, and was forcibly calmed down by Xu Minglang's shoulder.

"Let's not talk about this for now. It's too dangerous here, and that homeless man is here too." Xu Minglang pulled her to go outside, Ye Jiawen's face suddenly became frightened, and asked: "The homeless man did all this to us person?"

Xu Minglang nodded.

Ye Jiawen took a deep breath before saying, "I saw it in the painting, that tramp stole my money... so much happened later..."

"I really don't understand, why would he do this?"

Xu Minglang turned his head: "Maybe it's because I've lived too long, and I've become abnormal in loneliness."

The two walked through the corridor, but Xu Minglang didn't rush upstairs, but fiddled with the utensils on the long table, looking around.

"Aren't we going to meet Big Brother Zhou?" Ye Jiawen asked:

"No hurry, let him sleep for a while."

Ye Jiawen had no choice but to follow behind Xu Minglang blankly.

Xu Minglang suddenly gestured at the carpet and the stairs, and said to the girl, "Do you feel this place is very familiar?"

Ye Jiawen was taken aback for a moment.

"You mean haunted house?"

"Yeah." Xu Minglang walked into the arch, looked at the spacious and luxurious ballroom and said, "Do you still remember this place? When you went to find Cao Jing in the haunted house, you passed through a dance floor full of dancing puppets. What do you think? What does it mean?"

Ye Jiawen's face was full of confusion: "One is a medieval mansion, and the other is a haunted house. How can there be any connection?"

"It's a haunted house, but it's also a chessboard designed by someone behind the scenes, who can create anything he wants."

"So?" Ye Jiawen looked a little impatient.

"If you think about every game carefully, is there always something that can trigger people's memories. It's like when you were in the supermarket, what reminded you of the past?"

"Uh, it's the dummies. The dummies are looking at me. Reminds me of being stared at and laughed at in the hallway."

"That's it." Seeing Ye Jiawen, Xu Minglang still had doubts on his face, "He knows the past of each of us, so in the game settings, he can always add some details that only the authorities understand to trigger the mechanism. But why would he Stuffed in details that have nothing to do with us? Like the dance hall here, which has nothing to do with any of our pasts."

Ye Jiawen helped her forehead: "I'm really tired..."

"Because those are his memories." Xu Minglang walked towards Ye Jiawen, "It's not unreasonable to say that you are a pervert in loneliness. A person who has lived for so long and peeked at other people's past all day long has nowhere to vent his past. No People know him, no one cares about him. How do you think he will prove his existence?"

Ye Jiawen stepped back step by step: "Brother, you scared me..."

"He will use various methods to show his existence to us, because he is too lonely, he can't help it, he thinks that no one will find out, while enjoying this pleasure, at the same time, he longs for someone to do it. Discover his secret."

After finishing speaking, Ye Jiawen was forced to the edge of the wall, her knees were facing the chair, she sat down, looked up at Xu Minglang and asked, "You should save these words for the homeless, he did everything." ghost."

"If the identity of the person behind the scenes is really a tramp," Xu Minglang looked into Ye Jiawen's eyes, "do you think we will still appear in a medieval castle?"

Ye Jiawen's light brown eyes kept rolling.

"Who is the real culprit behind that scene?"

"You should ask yourself this question." Xu Minglang caught Ye Jiawen's throat with his hand unexpectedly, and slammed her against the wall with all his strength, squeezing her out of breath, "Maybe I should call you, Olivia? "

'Ye Jiawen' squeezed out a smile, her disheveled black hair began to fade from the roots, her limbs also slowly shrank, and finally turned into a little girl with fair skin.

She raised her hand to touch Xu Minglang's arm, and Xu Minglang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, so painful that he had to let go of his hand.

"Since when did you find out?"

Xu Minglang stood up, looking at this girl who was waist taller than him, what he felt was confusion, not fear.

"When I saw your portrait, a kind of intuition."

Olivia shrugged and asked again: "Then how did you find out that I don't belong to Ye Jiawen?"

"She never called me 'Brother Xu'."

Olivia whimpered coquettishly and covered her face. If she didn't know what she was doing, she would think she was a very cute girl.

"Where is Ye Jiawen?"

"Relax, I'm not dead." She looked at Xu Minglang with blue eyes through her fingers, with a smile that couldn't be concealed in her tone: "Do you know? You are really, really interesting." After that, She jumped onto the chair and looked directly at Xu Minglang.

"You are one of the few people who can understand me. What do you humans call this relationship? Friends?"

"So that's how you treat your friends?" Xu Minglang brushed his hair and pointed to the surroundings, "Make a crazy game and fill it with friends like pawns."

"If you are like me, have lived for so long, and still have endless abilities, maybe you will be crazier than me..."

"I do not know."

"Oh?"

"The way to relieve loneliness is never killing. Everything is your excuse. Don't try to use the status of 'god' to whitewash yourself." Xu Minglang's eyes were fierce, and his tone was stern. "Say, what is your identity? Why do you pretend to be a tramp?"

Olivia didn't seem to be listening at all, she just lowered her head and fiddled with the skirt, trying to turn the skirt into a circle.

This nonchalant attitude angered Xu Minglang, he grabbed Olivia's wrist, but the delicate touch suddenly disappeared, making him lose his mind.However, when he turned around, he realized that he was in a colorful ball.

The shock hit him like a blunt blow, so that he could hear the music only after a few seconds.The people on the dance floor are all distinguished. The women are wearing thick lace dresses, and the men are all wearing tuxedos. They are laughing and dancing, spinning and turning the skirts into flowers, filling up the space at once. The originally empty venue.

Xu Minglang squeezed out from the crowd, and the crowd continued talking and laughing as if they couldn't see him.He walked through the archway, and the corridor was also full of guests and pagemen.Relying on his English listening ability at the fourth grade of the university, it was difficult for him to hear "Miss Olivia is upstairs" from the English-accented waiter, so he ran up the stairs.

Passing by the maids, he rushed to the room where the door was not closed, and saw a pair of overlapping and shaking calves through the crack of the door, so he walked in.

The bright room has a soft plush rug, and dollhouses and building blocks are piled on the floor.Olivia turned her back to him, raised her little feet, revealing a pair of snow-white calves from under the white lace dress.When Xu Minglang walked around in front of her, she was not surprised either.

"My dolls are beautiful."

Xu Minglang glanced at the cupboard full of ceramic dolls, they opened their eyes and smiled indifferently, reminding him of the puppet figures that appeared frequently in the game.From then on, everything hints at what it is today.He was humiliated and terrified.

With a loud clatter, Olivia knocked down the tower of building blocks she had carefully piled up, and sighed: "The boring Middle Ages. The streets are full of excrement and urine, even if you are sitting in a carriage, you just need to get off the ground and turn around. Waiting for countless bacteria. Girls are born as a subsidiary of patriarchy, a talking womb, and are forced by their families to learn this and that, just to find a man with the right family at the age of 14, and then be a well-decorated man for the rest of their lives. wallet. You should be glad you live in the modern age."

"You're not showing me this just to complain about life in the Middle Ages."

Olivia rolled on the ground, got up and stretched and said: "When I was a little girl, I mean real biological age... I was tired of my life, I change many sets of clothes every day, drink strong and bitter tea, dance parties day and night. Everyone is looking forward to me growing up so that I can find a good son-in-law and consolidate the family assets."

"My father is a duke, my mother is also a duke, and I have two brothers above me. The eldest brother got married before I was born. I don't like him. He is too serious and always says I shouldn't play around all the time. Baby, let me learn more French. And my second brother is very cute, he has a more handsome face, and he is also smart and treats me well. Even if I get into trouble, he will keep it secret for me. More importantly, he is very good at drawing Painting." Olivia looked up a little proudly, "The portrait you saw was also painted for me. He really brought me to life. I dare say he is not inferior to any well-known painter."

Xu Minglang frowned and said, "But he didn't live forever, did he?"

Olivia lowered her head and fiddled with her hair, seemingly sad.

"why?"

"Because he discovered my secret, but this time he refused to keep it secret for me."

Before Xu Minglang asked what the secret was, Olivia snapped her fingers, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, then the door was opened, and a handsome blue-eyed boy ran in, and went straight to Oli Via.

Olivia winked playfully at Xu Minglang, as if she wanted to show off her skills, then she turned her head and said to the boy, "Brother William, why are you here?"

"If I don't come, you'll have to play with your toys all day."

"If you are also here to let me read those useless books, then you can leave now and go to your ball, Mr. Nosy." Olivia said in a spoiled tone, not looking at her second brother At a glance, it is obviously a habit.

And William caressed Olivia's hair, with a serious face, and when Olivia turned around, he pretended to be relaxed, but Olivia still noticed something strange.

"Why are you so troubled, brother William?"

The blue-eyed boy pondered for a while, then said, "Olivia, my lovely sister, you swear you will never hurt others, right?"

Xu Minglang stood aside, confused.

"Then you also have to swear that you will never tell anyone that I am a 'witch'." Olivia eagerly touched William's cheek with her fingertips, "You should know that if this news gets out, What will happen to me."

William hugged Olivia tightly.

"I will never. I will never let them hurt you."
