Encounter

Xia Yuming had a nightmare, in which he was locked in a strange room without windows.

It was a small room that looked more like a utility room, with no paint around it, and the walls still had the texture of grey, coarse-grained cement.A light bulb hangs in the center of the ceiling of the room, and the light bulb emits yellow light, enveloping the entire closed room under a dim yellow light.The wires hanging from the light bulb all the way down the ceiling to a dirty white switch, the underside of the switch

There was a pile of sundries, and dirty bedding was placed beside the sundries. It seemed that someone often slept there.

In the dream, the line of sight trembled a few times, and the line of sight started to look up, but when it reached a certain height, it dropped suddenly.After going back and forth several times, Xia Yuming understood that "I" seemed to be going over, but it seemed that there was something wrong with my feet. I tried to stand a few times but fell down and couldn't stand up.

After a few times, the "self" in the dream also realized this problem, so he stretched out his hand and crawled over the ground bit by bit.

When his hand appeared in front of his eyes, Xia Yuming felt goose bumps all over his body.

Xia Yuming has never seen such a pair of hands. It can be seen that the hands were originally a pair of beautiful hands, but now they have been injured so much that they can only vaguely distinguish the shape of their slender fingers.Most of the manicures on the fingernails are worn out, and the original traces can no longer be seen.

The position of the ring finger of one hand was empty, replaced by a festering wound, black and purple, and thick liquid continuously flowed out.

Climbing from one corner to the other, the body rubbed against the rough concrete floor and made dull, slow sounds, which made the listener extremely uncomfortable.After crawling all the way, I finally got to the front of the mat. When I turned over, I seemed to bump into something, and the sound of countless glass beads scattering came from my ears.

He tried hard to get up but reached the bead with one hand, and accidentally slid back, a mess of black hair suddenly fell in front of his eyes.

Xia Yuming woke up suddenly and sat up, hearing the soft, hallucinatory sound of beads falling to the ground.

"what happened?"

Shen Mo beside him suddenly made a sound, Xia Yuming was startled unpreparedly, almost hit him, regained his senses on the way and withdrew his hand.

"I had a nightmare."

As soon as the words fell, there was a chill in the ears, and someone chuckled lightly from a very close place.

"Ah"

Xia Yuming didn't dare to move now, and didn't dare to turn his head. After a while, he lay down anxiously when there was no more movement.

After being disturbed like this, Xia Yuming's drowsiness completely disappeared, his eyes were closed, and his mind was very clear.

It was the middle of the night at that time, and there were not many people returning to school. The world was dead silent, except for the occasional howling north wind that would beat the windows, and the glass would vibrate and make a slight buzzing sound.

After lying down for an unknown amount of time, a sudden click came from the door, breaking the silent night.

In an instant, the street lights outside the dormitory suddenly disappeared, and the whole dormitory was dark, with no light at all.

Xia Yuming's heart rose to his throat, and he heard the sound of something crawling against the ground from the dormitory.First there was the sound of something hitting the ground heavily, followed by a long dragging sound.The thing crawled very slowly, pausing every time it climbed.

Xia Yuming leaned back, Shen Mo's warm body temperature did not give him any comfort.

"hehe"

With a creak, the iron ladder shared between the two beds made a short and piercing sound in the dark and lightless bedroom.Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, a slight shaking spread from the bed to the bed.

Xia Yuming shrank his feet in fright, but everything stopped after that loud bang. After a long time, there was no other sound in the dormitory except breathing.

Is it over?Xia Yuming didn't dare to move, he gritted his teeth and maintained this strenuous posture. Could the thing that ran in be related to what he dreamed about before?

The same is true for the "self" in the dream. His legs can no longer exert strength, and he can only keep crawling forward with his injured hands.

Just as he was thinking about a sudden bang from behind the bed, that sound was louder and closer than the previous one.

Xia Yuming became tense again, he held his breath, and heard something slamming past the bed curtain and making a continuous slight thumping sound.

"Ah"

A clear and abrupt laughter sounded from behind his feet.

Xia Yuming swallowed, is it Bian's family?

He knew that the Bian family wanted to kill him, and he might not live long, so it would be useless to resist.

Shen Mo didn't intend to make a move, and it seemed that he didn't intend to save him this time either.

That's all.

Although the fear was extreme, but after thinking about it rationally, he forced himself to close his eyes in order to reduce the fear of death.

If tonight is the end, what else can be done, so be it, it doesn't matter, he gave up, he gave up a long time ago.

"Ayu, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Mo's voice suddenly sounded, with the coldness of the first meeting, nice and calming.

Xia Yuming's whole body tensed up and he didn't answer.

It wasn't until Shen Mo asked the second time that he relaxed and opened his eyes.

The dormitory is still dark, but it's different from before. The street lights outside are very bright, and if it leaks into the dormitory, people can vaguely see something, so it won't be completely dark.

Did Shen Mo make a move?Is it over?

Xia Yuming breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he dare to straighten his legs.

But as soon as he stretched out his legs, something cold and slippery grabbed his ankles and dragged him backwards.
