The opposite gaze lasted for a long time, and Chen Zhifei involuntarily scanned his body back and forth, there was nothing strange about it.To say it was strange, that person's eyes were the strangest.

Until now he was still staring at himself.

"What's the matter?" Perhaps this kind of gaze was too clear, and the other party looked at him with a look of disbelief, which rarely aroused Chen Zhifei's interest.

"You..." Ding Bai narrowed his eyes slightly before continuing, "Have you seen me?"

What kind of weird way to strike up a conversation is this?Chen Zhifei couldn't help laughing, and walked towards the trash can beside him without thinking about it, and tore off the film from the cigarette wrapping paper as he walked.

With long and slender fingers, he took out a cigarette and handed it to his mouth, and fumbled to take out a lighter from his bag.

The eyes behind him did not move away, he exhaled a puff of smoke and turned his head to look at the person opposite.

"Aren't you a non-smoker?" Under the surprised eyes of both parties, the person opposite suddenly said this sentence.

"You know?" Chen Zhifei looked at the opposite person strangely, "Are we familiar?"

Ding Bai didn't know why he said such a sentence suddenly. When he first saw this person, he was just surprised why this person looked exactly like the person in his dream.Later, when I saw him smoking a cigarette, I couldn't help but say such a sentence.

As the other party said, are they familiar?

Do we know each other well?Ding Bai felt as if something hit him hard in his heart, and suddenly he felt that he was inexplicably sad.

He always felt that when he saw the other party looking at him like a stranger, he felt empty in his heart.

"Can I have a cigarette?" Ding Bai cheekily stepped forward and asked the stranger for a cigarette.

The other party thought for a while and handed the cigarette case to him, and by the way, he also handed him the lighter in his hand.It's just that the moment he took the lighter, Ding Bai suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.

They were leaning next to the canteen, holding the same type of cigarettes in their hands, and there were people coming and going in front of them. The sensor in the canteen repeated the phrase "Welcome" like background music.

"I've been dreaming all the time recently." Ding Bai stared at the spark in his hand, for some reason he suddenly wanted to tell this stranger his story during this time.

"The story in the dream is very scary. I saw a lot of strange things. I always feel that I am trapped in such fear, as if I can't escape." Ding Bai looked up at the sky, the clouds were very thick, like It's a hidden secret that's been covered up.

"I don't know why I have such a dream, and I don't know whether I am in a dream or in reality." Ding Bai turned to look at the person not far away.

"You want to know?" Chen Zhifei who was standing aside suddenly asked him.

"What do you know? Are you in a dream or in reality?" Ding Bai smiled wryly, he still clearly distinguishes dreams from reality.

"No." Chen Zhifei turned to look at him, "Why are you dreaming? Why are you trapped in fear?"

Ding Bai was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

"Everything happens for a reason, maybe there is an answer in the dream." The other party said, stood up and patted the unnecessary dust, "I will give you the lighter."

After finishing speaking, Ding Bai watched his back gradually go away.

As for why he took a stranger's words to heart, Ding Bai was not very clear about it.He thought of several reasons, perhaps because he had appeared in the dream?Or maybe it's because you want to find a tree hole?Or maybe it was just the cigarette?

Ding Bai smiled embarrassingly, feeling a little strange.

But the other party's words, maybe there is an answer in the dream, is still firmly in his heart.

The night was getting dark, and the moon outside the house was covered tightly by clouds. After drinking a glass of milk, Ding Bai felt that he was ready.

If there is an answer in the dream, then see it in the dream.

The same door still appeared in the living room so abruptly.Ding Bai, who was barefoot, stepped into the door without hesitation this time.

The horror images intertwined in the dream were like repeated horror movies, and he seemed to be deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate himself.

Dreams reappeared again and again, as if tormenting Ding Bai's nerves, but in these recurring images, he finally found something important.

For example, the warm body temperature in the bed, or the words of the same person who always appears, or the hand that always stretches out at critical moments.

These all seem to come from the same person.

So when he heard that similar voice again, Ding Bai finally asked, "Who are you?"

"Who are you?" He stared at this hazy figure and asked the same words over and over again, only to feel that the vision in front of him was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't see the last gleam of light.

He chased after it with all his strength, stumbled and ran towards the darkness ahead, and finally bumped into a man in his arms.

The ear was touched lightly by a warm lip.

"Ding Bai?"

"Ding Bai."

"Ding Bai!"

Countless pictures rushed into his mind in an instant, Ding Bai froze in place, the darkness disappeared, he saw Chen Zhifei and said to him: "You should remember me, you must remember me!"

Then, wake up from the dream!

"Chen Zhifei!" Ding Bai yelled subconsciously, his chin was wet, he stretched out his hand to touch it, tears streaming down his face at some point.

He rushed out of the room without any scruples, ran across the living room, passed the old stairs, and ran into the familiar alley.

But the surrounding was terribly quiet, as if someone had pressed the mute button. He turned his head to look at the bustling canteen on weekdays. There was only that lonely sensor hanging at the door.

The cashier counter was empty, and the familiar cashier boy went somewhere. He walked around the canteen anxiously, but he didn't find a single person.

He turned around and ran out again, but there was still no one around.The old man who walks the dog is not there, the old man who plays chess at the canteen is not there, and the aunts who like to gather together in the yard on weekdays are not there either.

He stood in the deserted field as if he couldn't believe it was real.

"Chen Zhifei!"

"Chen Zhifei? Where are you!" Ding Bai called Chen Zhifei's name and knocked on the doors of every apartment building, praying for someone to stand up.

But all of this seemed to be in vain, every door was tightly closed, as if telling him that there was no one here.

In the end, Ding Bai sat on the ground weakly, recalling everything he had experienced before, as if someone was playing with him.The dream confused his whole nerves and plunged him into boundless fear.

He arranged all those people he had met and contacted in the gambling game by his side, but he couldn't remember who these people were.When the most important person merged into the nightmare, he began to doubt.

So, is this the big ghost game?

A big ghost game that doesn't know how to start and doesn't know how to end.

No wonder Chen Zhifei said that he had never heard of anyone being able to get out of the big ghost game. Even if someone could get this far, he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or a gambling game at this time.

Ding Bai grabbed his hair helplessly, he was wondering since when did he enter the big haunted situation?They obviously didn't find the golden flower card in the previous game, but how did the last game end?

He recalled the old lady who was going to compete with Chen Zhifei, and guessed that maybe when she took out the pair of dice, the big ghost game had already started.

But what about Chen Zhifei?The rules of the previous game clearly stated that only a pair of dealers could get out of the little devil's trap. Since he got out, Chen Zhifei should also get out.

Ding Bai recalled that he did not know whether he had met Chen Zhifei before, when he first noticed something wrong with the surrounding environment, he met Chen Zhifei who came from downstairs, but he didn't know Chen Zhifei at that time.

Secondly, in the dream, many Chen Zhifeis once appeared in the dream.

And then yesterday, Chen Zhifei gave him a cigarette.

But reality and dreams are constantly intertwined. Which time did Chen Zhifei meet the real one?Or, is he still dreaming?

After this terrible conjecture appeared, Ding Bai suddenly felt a little scary. Could it be that he didn't wake up from the dream from the beginning to the end?

He suddenly looked up at the balcony, should he jump again?

Ding Bai stood up and approached the balcony, and with just one glance, he retreated.If it's not in a dream this time, does it mean that he will never get out of this gamble?

All kinds of thoughts were intertwined in his heart, and he felt that he was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn't even imagine what he would do in the next second.

"Ah!" Ding Bai bumped his head against the coffee table twice, trying to use the pain to wake himself up.The moment he lowered his head, he saw the little white pill next to the trash can.

He picked up the pill that fell beside the trash can and looked at it carefully, and suddenly remembered that he got it back from the psychiatrist.

In other words, this thing is real, which means that he has indeed woken up these days.Then he has not been in a dream all the time!

And the appearance of this thing at this point in time also means one thing, that is, he is not in a dream now!

what else?What else can prove that I was awake at the time?

He looked around, the environment confused him, what could prove that he was awake at that time!

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he frantically ran back to the bedroom and found the dress.He reached out and took out a lighter from his bag!

Not a dream!So the Chen Zhifei he met at that time was Chen Zhifei!It was Chen Zhifei who gave him the answer!

It's Chen Zhifei!So he also entered the big ghost game.But the conversation between them confirmed that Chen Zhifei seemed to have no memory of the past just like him, and any memory of the game seemed to have disappeared.

And now, even Chen Zhifei had disappeared.

Ding Bai collapsed a bit, he couldn't remember it at first, but now he remembered everything but all those familiar people disappeared.

What the hell does this mean?How can I get out of this big ghost situation?

I can't figure it out either...
