Chapter 184: Hide and Seek of 350,000 People
When he was looking at Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu also noticed his gaze. The air between the two suddenly smelled of gunpowder.
"You'd better be more sober."
Realizing the problem, Xia Ren warned.
"That's a dream, and I didn't do that in reality."
The anger in his heart could not be calmed easily, so his tone of speaking was somewhat threatening.
Liu Xiuxiu turned her head and said softly: "Sorry."
Then he patted his body and stood up from the floor, not sure if he really figured it out.
Seeing him like this, Xia Ren didn't care too much about him, and turned around to check Qin Yun's situation.
What surprised Xia Ren was that when he walked towards Qin Yun, the other party was frightened and took a step back.
He looked angry for a moment, but then he thought of something, took a deep breath and stopped approaching.
When Qin Yun realized how inappropriate her behavior was, it was too late. She was a little panicked and quickly remedyed her and said, "I'm sorry Xia Ren, I didn't mean it, I just... I just haven't adapted yet."
"It's okay, don't mind too much."
Xia Ren smiled and said, "I don't know what happened to you in your dreams, but it seems that it's all related to me..."
The feeling of separation caused by suddenly returning to reality has also deeply affected Xia Ren. This sequelae is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, so it is understandable that they will have such a reaction.
After a pause, Xia Ren continued: "But although I am not a good person, I am definitely not a scumbag who abuses women."
Lily returned to the shape of a ball, she was always by her side, and she also noticed the subtle atmosphere between the three, but she had consumed her enormous energy to maintain their vital signs just now, and now she doesn't even want to move.
"Thanks a lot."
Xia Ren stepped forward and picked her up, put her on the sofa, and gently stroked her twice.
"I'm still me..."
He said to Lily, but it seemed like this was a reminder of himself.
Not very relieved, he turned his head and looked at the wall, without a clock.
"I want to go upstairs to see. You all calm down here first. It is best to forget everything that happens in the dream."
Xia Ren stood up and said to Qin Yun and Liu Xiuxiu.
The two nodded, and Xia Ren nodded to them, then opened the door, looked at the dusty stairs, and walked up.
During the process, his face became increasingly ugly. Until he finally stood in front of Huang Qiuyuan's door, he could hardly suppress his anger.
The door was locked, but a mere door lock could not make any obstacles at all. He twisted off the door handle and pushed open the door.
What comes into view is a clean living room, sofa, coffee table, old TV. Apart from that, there is no extra furniture, and there is not even a pair of slippers at the door.
Xia Ren walked into the door and his breathing gradually became heavier.
The layout of this house is similar to the opposite door. He and Liu Xiuxiu had entered, and the little feet he saw under the curtains still remembered them vividly. However, at that time he could not understand why he could not detect the polluted atmosphere. Now it seems that it was all Huang Qiuyuan's fault. What the two of them experienced in the house was just a nightmare and there was no such little boy.
Turning his head, seven people were roughly drawn with a black brush on the back of the door, but the heads were crossed out by messy lines.
He just took a look, and did not focus too much on the door and went straight to the bedroom.
There was only a big bed inside, not even a quilt. When I walked in and found that there was a note at the head of the bed.
Xia Ren carefully observed the surroundings and confirmed that there was nothing else suspicious before picking up the note. The four words were neatly written with a black water pen:
"Good luck."
"Sher!"
Xia Ren's eyes were red and he angrily tore the note apart!
...
...
"What is he doing?"
After a few minutes of rest, Liu Xiuxiu had almost dispelled the impact of the dream, asked.
"I don't know either."
Qin Yun looked at the ceiling, holding the listless Lily in her arms, and the unconcealed worry in her eyes.
There was a "rumbling" sound coming from the upper floor, as if a construction team was demolishing on it, and the sound of smashing the wall was endless. There were also a few depressing roars in the middle. It was Xia Ren's voice.
He must have experienced something in his dream and needs to vent.
Qin Yun recalled the bloody look and anxious look when he entered his dream, and was very worried about his condition.
"I don't know how much effort he has put in to save me, but I..."
She remembered the half step she had just taken back, and felt that Xia Ren's smile was like a heavy stone blocking her heart, which was so uncomfortable.
"What did you encounter in your dream?"
She asked Liu Xiuxiu.
“Some…bad things.”
Liu Xiuxiu frowned and didn't want to recall it.
This incident made him redefine the word nightmare. It turned out that the real nightmare was so...suffocating.
But after calming down, he unconsciously recalled the scene when Xia Ren rushed into his dream.
That scene was so familiar, would it be a coincidence?
And why I am, I can't remember who the man I saved two years ago was.
In a trance, the blood-soaked metal corridor and the burning living room were difficult to distinguish, and the two tall figures gradually overlapped.
Finally, he came over
He raised his head and it turned out to be Xia Ren's face.
The moment he saw this face, his mind was dazed, and his body seemed to have lost its gravity and floated in the void.
No, this is not the void, this is the sound of... the surging waves.
It's like being on the deep and dark seabed, the vast seabed is split into pieces, countless smoke columns rolling upwards, and the crimson magma slowly flows in the huge cracks, and clusters of mucus are squirming in the sea water, changing into various strange shapes, pushing the sand on the seabed to bury the cracks.
Above them, terrifying creatures with five-pointed star-shaped heads stretched out their touch limbs, as if they were issuing some complex command...
"Xiuxiu?"
The heart was pounding, and Liu Xiuxiu came to her senses and saw Qin Yun looking at her with a puzzled look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
He asked in panic by covering his chest with his hands.
Qin Yun looked at him suspiciously and said, "You seemed to be distracted just now."
"No, it's okay, it's just..."
Liu Xiuxiu lowered her head and covered her slightly swollen head with her hands. She couldn't figure out whether the picture she just saw was an illusion or something.
"that is?"
Qin Yun felt that he was hiding himself.
"Are you all restored?"
Xia Ren opened the door and said.
His clothes were a little messy, and he glanced around the two of them, including Lily, who was held in Qin Yun's arms. It seemed that Lily, who was not involved in the dream, was the biggest impact in this incident.
As for why Huang Qiuyuan didn't attack her, Xia Ren guessed that the other party probably couldn't understand Xiu Ges' thinking.
Qin Yun's head was spinning faster and asked, "Does it have anything to do with Huang Qiuyuan?"
After she said this, Liu Xiuxiu's attention immediately shifted to this aspect, and she had no time to worry about her situation.
Xia Ren showed a fierce smile on his lips, and said with hatred: "It's more than just a matter of relationship."
He seemed unwilling to waste too much time on this matter, and then changed the topic and said: "Since it's all right, it's the best. Let's get back to the topic. The clues of ghouls have not been found yet. Next, we will first look for unemployed vagrant Chen Qiwei or Jupiter City Councilman Zhao Tianliang."
"If you want to talk about the topic, it is obviously Huang Qiuyuan is more important now!" Liu Xiuxiu was unwilling to suffer a big loss in vain and asked afterwards.
Xia Ren said indifferently: "He has left. If you can find him, I would be happy to run over and beat him up."
“…”
Seeing that Xia Ren didn't plan to say more, Liu Xiuxiu could only feel sulky.
Qin Yun's focus has been on Xia Ren. Seeing that he was in a messy manner, he recalled the movements upstairs he had just heard, and it was not difficult to guess what he had done on it.
After hesitating, she asked with concern: "What did you see in your dream?"
"I was beaten up."
Xia Ren paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Xiu'er is unsure of her mind, let's go and find her dear Lord Congressman first."
Qin Yun looked at his face and always felt that his smile was extremely reluctant.
...
...
"Since you want to save them so much, I'll give you a chance."
Huang Qiuyuan raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The destroyed buildings around him were restored to their original state, and the figures of the ancients and Xiu Ges disappeared.
"This is a new dream, with a diameter of 50 kilometers, covering one-third of the urban area of Jupiter City, and there are about 350,000 people living there. Let's play hide-and-seek."
"One of these 350,000 people has one person with the 'key' and you only have half an hour to find it."
Huang Qiuyuan then remembered something and added: "By the way, unfortunately, your sister, your friends, and the one in your family are also among these 350,000 people."
"So, good luck."
