Howling wolf?
Yu Sheng's first reaction was that he was a little confused, but then he associated the wolf howl with what he had experienced recently. He did not doubt whether he was hearing hallucinations - because less than a few seconds later, there was another sound.
An unsettling howl came from the distance, sounding clearer than the last time.
What's more, he felt that there was no such thing as "auditory hallucinations" in dreams.
Yu Sheng frowned and immediately went to the direction where the howling sound came from - in this waking dream, he only took a few steps, and then he crossed a long distance with a thought in his mind, and came to him in the blink of an eye.
Something "feels" wrong.
He saw the howling wolf.
It is a stiff and illusory shadow, floating over the grass, and like a poorly contacted projection screen, it flashes every few seconds. Every time it flashes, this stiff shadow changes its posture, giving people the impression that it is a stiff and illusory shadow.
It seems to be a surveillance screen with severe lag, refreshing the image of the surveillance target every few seconds.
Yu Sheng looked at the projection that appeared in his dream with astonishment and curiosity. He saw it flicker again. The wolf turned its head in the next "refreshed" posture. It seemed to have seen the uninvited guest approaching, and headed this way.
Cast a watching gaze.
But it is just a "shadow". Apart from casting a line of sight, the wolf seems to be unable to do more.
The initial nervousness in Yu Sheng's heart gradually faded away, and he began to look at the "wolf" in front of him curiously. For some reason, he always felt that the wolf's eyes looked... a bit familiar.
And then, a strange thought came to his mind - this wolf cannot be eaten.
Because there is humanity in its eyes.
human nature?
Yu Sheng suddenly became excited and recalled the source of that familiar feeling. Then he hesitantly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the projection floating on the grass.
A slightly cold feeling came from his fingertips, and he felt as if he had touched a layer of illusory fog. The wolf was still looking at him quietly, but suddenly, it disappeared in the next "flicker"
Already.
However, many messy and broken memory fragments that did not belong to him suddenly appeared in Yu Sheng's mind.
He saw a yellowed and faded scene, a series of flashback scenes, and he saw a vague shadow standing among a group of similarly vague-faced figures. They were surrounding a small bed, as if
Seeing off silently.
The next second, he saw someone the shadow seemed to be arguing with. The person arguing with it was a taller figure. Although his face could not be seen clearly, Yu Sheng felt an inexplicable warmth from the "memory"
And miss her, that seems to be a very important person - but now, the owner of the memory is arguing with her, and the content of the argument is intermittently:
"...Why do you have to go to school? You won't grow up anyway!"
"... like an ordinary child... go to school, make friends, study, play, worry, be happy... no matter how short it is, you have to experience it..."
In the brief memory fragment, Yu Sheng subconsciously took a few steps forward, but suddenly, a new picture appeared in front of his eyes.
He saw that figure standing together with many other figures. Everyone formed a circle and seemed to be applauding under the leadership of someone. A voice came from the side: "...Welcome Teacher Su, she will teach the younger brothers and sisters in the future..."
Teacher Zhang is sick and will not come here anymore..."
All the shadows disappeared again, and the figure stood alone in a bush. She looked smaller. Suddenly, another more vague wolf appeared in front of her. The wolf lowered its head and let out a vague whimper.
Sound - the little figure bent down and stretched out his hand. He looked scared and nervous, but he still had the courage to touch the wolf's head: "You... must be obedient..."
The wolf disappeared, and Yu Sheng saw the figure walking alone on a path.
Now, she has become even shorter, even as short as a child of only five or six years old. She is walking on the path, crying as she walks. There are dim street lights flashing on both sides of the road. Beyond the light and shadow of the street lights, there are shadows everywhere.
The dense forest is filled with howlings and omnipresent malice, as if countless hungry predators are waiting for their prey.
The short figure suddenly stopped on the path and looked up at the darkness beyond the path, as if something appeared in the darkness, attracting her attention.
Don't go there——
This idea suddenly popped into Yu Sheng's mind, but the next second, he saw the figure leaving the path without hesitation and walking straight into the depths of the black forest filled with evil intentions.
Yu Sheng knew that this was just an illusion from the past, and it was an illusion that did not belong to him, but he still subconsciously wanted to block this scene - he came to the little figure almost instantly, stretched out his hand to block her, but
The figure passed directly through Yu Sheng and continued to walk into the darkness.
Yu Sheng turned around in shock and saw her running faster and faster, rushing toward two phantoms with blurred faces.
"Mom and Dad!"
Yu Sheng was stunned on the spot.
He finally knew what Little Red Riding Hood saw on that path many years ago.
Perhaps no matter how many times she came again, the six-year-old would pounce into the depths of darkness without hesitation.
Every child does it.
The sound of chewing came from the darkness, and a bright red filled the shadows, like a dazzling red cloak.
All illusions disappeared, whether it was the short figure or the boundless dark forest, they disappeared in a gust of hollow wind.
Yu Sheng subconsciously took two steps back and saw that he was standing in the dark and boundless wilderness again, but this time, the illusory and flickering wolf was missing in the wilderness, only a girl wearing a red coat.
, was standing not far away with some confusion.
Yu Sheng was startled for a moment and then walked towards the other party. The latter seemed to suddenly "wake up" and turned his head to look this way hesitantly.
After a while, the girl in red suddenly spoke: "Have you seen everything?"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment. He thought that what he saw was just another illusion, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually "here". However, he quickly realized it and nodded lightly: "I didn't mean to see it.
"
"Ah..." Little Red Riding Hood scratched her hair hard, looking helpless and unhappy, "So you adults like to look into other people's privacy! Why are you so curious?"
"I said I didn't mean it..." Yu Sheng scratched his cheek, not knowing how to relieve the embarrassment for a moment, "And I didn't take the initiative to bring you here."
Little Red Riding Hood suddenly stopped grabbing her hair, raised her head slightly and cast a non-deterrent look from the gap in her bangs: "I was just about to ask! Where is this?"
Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment: "Well, it's my dream."
The moment he said these words, he felt that the second half of his sentence was no longer convincing.
As expected, Little Red Riding Hood immediately stared: "Then you still said you didn't mean it!"
"It's my instinct..." Yu Sheng explained without confidence, "Hu Li has been here before. It seems that anyone who has established a blood connection with me may fall in, but I don't know the principle behind it.
."
Little Red Riding Hood looked here suspiciously, looked Yu Sheng up and down several times, as if to confirm whether he was lying, and finally confirmed again: "Really?"
Yu Shengte nodded sincerely, with a firm expression on his face.
The girl in red finally looked back suspiciously, as if she didn't intend to delve into it for the time being.
But only a few seconds later, she suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, I'm surprised, normal people dream like this! You can still pull people into this fixed space, and you can still chat with people after you pull them over!"
"I don't know either," Yu Sheng looked even more helpless than Little Red Riding Hood, "It's not like you don't know about my situation. I can't even figure out my own affairs..."
Little Red Riding Hood stared at him for a while, then finally waved her hands, took a deep breath, turned around, and sat on the grass.
Yu Sheng also walked over, and after hesitating for a moment, he sat next to him.
"Why are you dreaming in broad daylight?" he asked curiously.
"I fell asleep in chemistry class," the girl said in a muffled voice.
Then two seconds later, she suddenly added: "I usually don't sleep in class, and I haven't slept very much recently, but I don't know why, but I felt sleepy today, and I fell asleep after wandering away."
"Sleeping in class is a normal part of a student's life," Yu Sheng said casually, not knowing what he was talking about. "As you grow older, it's better to sleep more."
"I'm almost eighteen, not eight." Little Red Riding Hood raised her head and glanced here, but her eyes under her bangs seemed to be smiling, "...Hey, to be honest, wasn't I pretty stupid when I was a kid? I was actually
I have never seen what my parents look like, but at that time I felt like I had met them..."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, and after a while he suddenly said calmly: "I am going to kill Black Forest and the things behind Black Forest."
"...You suddenly have an idea?"
"I went to the Secret Service today to find some clues," Yu Sheng said slowly, "The first step is to find the 'hunter' in the black forest... He may know where the road to the back of the forest is.
."
"Why do you say that?"
"The 'Hunter' may be a member of the deep-diving team that entered the depths of the fairy tale seventy years ago and failed to return, or it may be all of them."
Little Red Riding Hood suddenly froze. She kept looking at Yu Sheng blankly. After a long time, she suddenly blinked.
But just when she was about to say something, Yu Sheng interrupted her: "As long as you know, don't contact the 'hunter' casually."
"Why?"
