I am not human

"...Qing Shu, come here."

"Hurry up... come here."

——It’s so noisy.

A ray of sound indistinctly penetrated into the ear, like a wooden thorn pierced into the flesh, obviously not clear, but still stubbornly existed, no matter how Liao Qingshu shook his head, he couldn't get rid of it.

He stood up staggeringly, but found that he couldn't stand still. When he looked down, he realized that his hands and feet had turned into ferocious animal claws, and his sharp black toes were breaking open little by little. The yellow fur was stretched out, and it was stained with blood stains, which was shocking.

When the sanity is faltering, the pain also becomes thinner.Liao Qingshu grunted foolishly, lying on the ground on all fours, feeling extremely at ease.

"Liao Qingshu!" A somewhat familiar roar came from behind, trembling uncontrollably in the hoarse voice, "Come back to me! Pig head! Idiot! Come back quickly!"

Reason seems to be a beast that has fallen into hibernation. It is excited by this call and barely opens its eyes, but it closes them again in an instant and turns over, isolating all disturbances, and falls into the darkness of its own accord. In his dream, there was only a strong desire left behind, supporting this alienated body to crawl forward little by little.

At the end of that direction, is a tall figure.Long silver-gray hair hangs around the neck and hangs from the shoulders, reminiscent of some kind of lazy reptile, the face is blurred by the backlight, only the faint smile, like a flower blooming with malice, attracts Liao Qingshu dragged her body and walked towards him without looking back.

The bones rattled as they deformed, and every inch of the forcibly stretched body groaned.But Liao Qingshu didn't care, he didn't want to care anymore—trapped in the exorcism shell called "human" for too long, suffocated for too long, scared for too long, now he just wants to breathe every breath of freedom The air releases every inch of itself, like fireworks, like wild dancing, like crazy rotation, like the climax of climbing to the top.

The already blank brain curled up tremblingly in the extreme joy, and the annoying voice behind him sounded again.

"Liao Qingshu, don't go any further..."

"—Just take it as I'm begging you! Come back!"

The nearly collapsed request passed through his mind like an electric current, and the voice was in a low profile that had never been seen before.The sleeping rationality suddenly opened his eyes, Liao Qingshu stopped, and tilted his head hesitantly.

"Jiu...Fang?" - He thought he was talking, but in fact, it was just a meaningless growl from his throat.

go back?Where to go?

With this appearance, where can he go back?

——Obviously, there is no going back.

A burst of intense and inexplicable grief suddenly surged up, and before Liao Qingshu could figure out why, a sonic boom suddenly came from behind her head.Relying on his instinct, he dodged sideways, half of the wings pierced through the skin and grew out from the shoulder bone, stretched out in an instant, blocking the blow from behind.A few pieces of broken feathers were shaken off due to the violent impact, but Liao Qingshu relaxed after recognizing the familiar figure, staring at her blank eyes, and remained motionless, letting the gleaming dagger stab at herself. down.

Even though Jiufang Ziyan used that short sword that had protected him countless times, he stabbed hard towards his heart——

Liao Qingshu suddenly opened his eyes.

Overhead was a clear sky.

"Fall asleep again..." He quickly understood the situation, with a hint of helplessness on his face, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and got up from the ground.The breeze blows over the face, bringing a little bit of coolness, accompanied by the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves.Liao Qingshu took a breath of fresh air contentedly, looked around, and saw a man in a red flying fish suit with his back facing her, squatting by the stream, not knowing what to do.Liao Qingshu called out "Jiufang" and walked towards him, but felt something was wrong as soon as he moved. He looked down and saw that his long clothes were dragging on the floor and his sleeves were stretched out, but he was wearing a green dress from a Beijing opera.

"Isn't it? Flying fish clothes plus Beijing opera? Such a mix and match?" Liao Qingshu felt a little funny, "Jiufang, what's going on?"

"I said you've lost your soul, do you believe me?" The man in the flying fish suit turned his head, wearing a pair of sunglasses abruptly on his face.His hands were wet, he didn't care, he just wiped his clothes casually, and stood up.Even through the sunglasses, Liao Qingshu could feel his idiot-like eyes.

Liao Qingshu shook his head slowly, and the man cut his head: "That's enough, I'm still asking!"

"Dream within a dream..." Liao Qingshu sighed, it seemed that she had "sleeped" again while performing a task.Speaking of which, what was the dream I just had?

He tilted his head and thought for a while, but he didn't think about it, he just remembered that the man in front of him was going to stab himself with a knife.He curled his lips secretly, well, this really seems like something he would do.

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of a strange fish with a fish body and a snake tail flashing past in the water. Liao Qingshu asked strangely, "Where are we now? Dream or the world of mountains and seas?"

"The junction." The man replied, looking up into the sky, "A half-demon strayed into the mountain and sea realm in a dream, and the two overlapped. We are now in his dream."

"What about others?"

"Let Kobayashi send it out."

"Then why are we still here?" Liao Qingshu frowned and looked down at her clothes.The green clothes shaped by other people's dreams are gradually fading, revealing the original white shirt and jeans.

"Return the things." The man replied, his eyes still fixed on the sky.A bald-headed bird with a human face and three legs twittered and flew through the air. Jiufang Ziyan took out a piece of blue jade and threw it upwards vigorously. The bald-headed bird caught it and flew away with its feet.

"Qu Runiao, the boss who prayed to the mountain. Basically all the gold and jade on this mountain belong to him. When the half-monster entered the mountain and sea world, he was cheap and stole a piece. He almost died of anger."

"That's why you came here specially to return it to him." Liao Qingshu nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly noticed that the man was rubbing his knuckles, and her heart skipped a beat: "Wait, that half-demon, you don't know how to beat him, do you? "

The man snorted: "He won't pay it back, what can I do?"

"Then you can't beat people!" Liao Qingshu's voice rose slightly, "What if he wakes up and still remembers what happened in his dream? The mountain management office will be complained! God, I don't want to write an apology letter for you anymore Already!"

"Let's talk again!" The man said impatiently, "Now we're talking about one thing after another. Why didn't I see you come out when we settled the matter just now? How many times have I told you not to sleep in the mountain and sea world! You can't wake up even if you scream. It still takes up space!"

"How much space can I take up just lying there by myself?"

"I said your dream takes up space!" the man said, turning around and stepping into the stream, the big red flying fish suit on his body disappeared and changed into a long navy blue trench coat.

"Let's go!" He turned around and stretched out his hand towards Liao Qingshu, "Let's talk about other things after we go out, let's go back to the mountain to manage it first!"

Liao Qingshu pursed her lips, and was about to reach out her hand, when she glanced at that hand, her movements suddenly stopped.

On the man's hand, there was a thick sword cocoon.

For some reason, he thought of the dagger that was thrusting straight towards his chest in his dream.
