Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Wei Yuan felt himself retreating into a corner.

Zhang Tingyun lifted Wenwen in front of him. The little girl's face was only ten centimeters away from his, and her big eyes suddenly turned into two black holes.

"Dad, Daddy..."

Her face suddenly dried up, her mouth turned into a black hole, and her whole body turned into a terrifying little mummy.

He felt like his heartbeat was going to burst his chest.

Suddenly, the little girl's head disappeared, and the next moment, a string of red fountains rose in front of her eyes, and her brother's face loomed behind, with a cold light shining in her hand.

His brother chopped off the heads of that little girl and Zhang Tingyun——

"what--"

He woke up screaming.

The eyes suddenly brightened.

"What is the ghost called?"

Wei Yuan was still in shock, covered in cold sweat and gasping for breath. After a while, he realized that he was sitting on the sofa of his brother's house. His brother stood by the sofa and lifted the quilt on him. He felt that the harsh light was the headlight in his brother's living room.

"Fuck!" He wiped his sweat, "I just had a terrible dream!"

Wei Chi asked, "What did you dream about?"

He told Wei Chi about the dream, and for some reason, he saw a trace of disappointment on his brother's expressionless face.

"Get up and get dressed." Wei Chi hugged the quilt to the bedroom, "Come out with me."

Wei Yuan glanced at the wall clock in the living room, it was not yet five o'clock, and asked while getting dressed, "Where are you going?"

Wei Chi said, "Go and find my mother."

"Auntie?" Wei Yuan said, "Didn't she go to see Uncle Xu?"

Wei Chi: "She lied."

Wei Yuan: "What?"

"Hurry up and wash up." Wei Chi threw a facekerchief and a new toothbrush to Wei Yuan, "They have already broken up."

Before going to bed, Wei Chi thought something was wrong, and sent a message to the fucking intern Zhou Ying, and learned that Dr. Xu was indeed on duty last night, and just relieved, Zhou Ying said something more, he felt that something was wrong, and asked After a few sentences, I realized that Zhou Yingchun had broken up with Dr. Xu. Dr. Xu seemed to be hit hard, and sang sad love songs on the hospital rooftop for three days. This was known to the whole hospital.

Wei Yuan quickly tidied himself up, followed Wei Chi out the door, hopped on one foot while walking, and asked, "Then where can we find it?"

Wei Chi didn't speak, but buried his face in his collar and walked forward, leaving a trail of white air in the cold night.

They went to the No. 10 Municipal Hospital first—they lived in the family building of the No. [-] Municipal No. [-] Hospital. The hospital was less than [-] minutes' walk away from their home. Zhou Yingchun's office was locked, and it was dark inside, and there was no one there.

For some reason, Wei Yuan felt that he was quite courageous at ordinary times, but when he walked in the quiet corridor of the hospital, he felt the fear of chills down his back, as if, as if... had experienced such a thing before.

As a school health worker, he also practiced in the hospital for a long time, and he did check the room at night, but he felt strangely that he didn't seem to have this chilly fear before...

Afterwards, Wei Chi took him to the KFC downstairs, walked around, but found no one, but found him on the second floor of McDonald's 20 meters away.Zhou Yingchun slept on a table in the corner, ordered a cup of milk tea, it was already completely cold.

Wei Chi and Wei Yuan walked to that table, Wei Yuan glanced at Zhou Yingchun, then at Wei Chi, hesitated and whispered: "Brother..."

Wei Chi interrupted him with a gesture, and picked up a notebook from under the clothes on the bench next to Zhou Yingchun. When she left, he saw her holding it. He thought this notebook was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he read it. Been there, but he seemed to know what it was the moment he saw a corner of it—it was a fucking notepad, written from front to back about work, from back to front about life, fucking weekdays A career-oriented strong woman will draw ugly love on it.

He opened that notebook, and everything was the same as his feeling that it did not come from "memory". It was indeed a notebook, with work in the front and life in the back. , the characters are also cute and round, with many little hearts.

Wei Chi took out a pen from his mother's pocket, wrote a line of words on it, and drew a little turtle on the back, then spread the book in front of his mother, covered his body with the clothes, dragged Follow Wei Yuan to leave.

Wei Yuan followed him downstairs before asking, "Why did you leave?"

"I'm afraid she's afraid of us." Wei Chi said, "We'll wait outside, I'll let her wake up and look for us."

Wei Yuan wanted to ask us what is there to be afraid of?Suddenly he thought of the woman and little girl in his dream again, swallowed his saliva, and followed his brother out of McDonald's without saying anything.They walked half a street and found a small supermarket with lights on. Wei Chi went in and came out quickly, buying a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Wei Yuan was a little surprised: "Brother, do you smoke?"

Wei Chi lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Occasionally."

The cold night was cold and silent, Wei Yuan thought about the orange flame flickering on Wei Chi's face just now, and suddenly understood Ji Jingzhe a little bit.

He thought for a while and said, "Give me one."

Wei Chi threw the whole pack of cigarettes and lighter to him.

Then the two walked back to McDonald's and sat down on the stone pier across the street.

Wei Yuan lit the second cigarette, exhaled, and said, "Brother...what do you think is going on?"

Wei Chi didn't even smoke half of the first cigarette, his eyes narrowed slightly in a blur in the smoke, and he didn't answer.

Wei Yuan babbled: "You said that I woke up with a wife and children, should I say it or not... Zhang Tingyun is quite beautiful, the type I like, and the little girl is also cute, you don't know, we are here When I found her in the square, she sat there obediently, wearing a goose yellow down jacket, short and fat like a ball, so cute, I think it’s okay if she is my daughter...My parents, Grandpa and grandma, other than this, they are all normal, it seems, as long as I admit that something is wrong with my brain, there is nothing wrong... I, I skip a lot of steps at once, my wife and children are hot The kang is on the verge... I used to read some novels, who wouldn't be obsessed with having a beautiful and gentle wife when she wakes up? The successful career type □□ big sister is very popular, career, experience, life, how is she better than me, And taking a cute little girl in one step, isn't this a good thing in a dream? But this thing really happened to me, why am I... so afraid?" He also finished his second cigarette, Wiping his face vigorously, he turned to Wei Chi, "Brother—you say they are orphans and widows, and I'm an old man, what can they do to me? Why am I just... so afraid?"

Wei Chi suddenly asked: "Do you remember the 'Second City Hospital'?"

Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his mind suddenly paused and split into two halves. One half said, "I'm too familiar with the Second City Hospital, didn't I grow up on this street since I was a child? I also practiced there." The other half somehow realizes that "my brother seems to be referring to a certain day, something, and I know, I just can't remember it".

Wei Chi asked again: "What about the 'library'?"

In fact, Wei Chi didn't make it clear, but the glorious palace of the Provincial Library suddenly appeared in Wei Yuan's mind. "Curator's Photo" and the corner of the bag depository.He subconsciously asked back: "Is it the provincial library?"

Wei Chi raised his eyebrows: "How much do you remember?"

Wei Yuan himself was also confused, shaking his head: "I don't know..."

Wei Chi asked again: "What do you remember?"

Wei Yuan held his head and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of anything, and that strange feeling came again - he seemed to know what else he should know, and he also knew what Wei Chi was referring to, that's the kind, if it is judgment He can do the correct questions or multiple-choice questions, but if he is asked to write silently, his mind will go blank.

Wei Chi asked: "Board game hall?"

Wei Yuan subconsciously continued: "Avalon?"

Wei Chi: "Airport?"

Wei Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head.

Wei Chi: "Where's the subway?"

Wei Yuan shook his head again.

Wei Chi: "Magritte?"

Wei Yuan: "What is that?"

Wei Chi paused for a while, seemed to be thinking, and asked again: "Science and Technology Museum?"

Wei Yuan felt an inexplicable and sudden sadness.He had a sore nose, and vaguely realized that he seemed to have lost something there, something very important.

He wiped his face again, and found his voice trembling when he spoke: "...Brother, what is going on?"

Wei Chi finally finished smoking that cigarette, stamped out the cigarette butt on the bottom of his feet, and then slowly said: "I'm not sure, I just had some dreams last night... The pictures are very fragmented, some are continuous, and some have no logic ...I might need a little more time to sort it out."

Wei Yuan: "Did you just dream about... the places you just mentioned?"

"Yeah." Wei Chi said, "There are some more, I can't remember clearly."

Wei Yuan was actually quite spiritual when the situation was complicated, and he blurted out and asked, "Then... what is the most important and clearest thing you remember?"

Wei Chi was silent for a while, and then said: "Ji Jingzhe is back, I'm with him. And..." He paused, looked at Wei Yuan, "You don't seem surprised?"

Wei Yuan: "Why should I be surprised?"

Wei Chi: "So you know that Ji Jingzhe and I are together."

Wei Yuan was also a little confused for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It should be."

Wei Chi squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, nodded, and was about to continue, Wei Yuan said: "No, why do you look relieved?"

Wei Chi: "You're not sad at all."

Wei Yuan leaned back: "Why am I sad? Brother, although we have a good relationship, I'm very straight and don't want to intervene between you two, of course I don't discriminate against homosexuals..."

Wei Chi: "They said that Ji Jingzhe committed suicide."

"What?" Wei Yuan stood up in shock, "Suicide? Ji Jingzhe? How is it possible? He won't commit suicide even if I commit suicide, okay?"

Wei Chi: "So I'm sure, there must be something wrong, and it's not that the two of us are crazy - after this is confirmed, the next thing will make sense."

"Oh..." Wei Yuan admired his brother's brain circuit as always, thought about the topic just now, and asked, "And then? You just mentioned that you are together, what else?"

"Also..." Wei Chi raised his head and looked opposite, "I seem to have lost my mother."

Wei Yuan followed his gaze and saw Zhou Yingchun standing by the French windows on the second floor of McDonald's, looking at them.
