I didn't know what to say, so I drove forward aimlessly.

Meng Xiaoshuai was alert: "Boss Zhou, it's been more than an hour, why haven't you left the city yet?"

I saw Qiu's resort again and said listlessly: "Let's go ahead and stay..."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Why?"

I said, "We're going around in circles."

Bai Xinxin sat up straight: "Why did you drive the car? Let me drive it!"

I ignored him, drove into the resort, parked, and then turned around and said to them: "I drove from the eastern suburbs to the western suburbs, and I didn't turn around, and then drove from the western suburbs to the eastern suburbs..."

Meng Xiaoshuai widened his eyes: "Haunted!"

I said, "Let's stay here and discuss countermeasures together. My mind is now in a mess. Bai Xinxin, if you don't believe me, you can try driving by yourself."

He stopped talking.

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Then let's live first...Boss Zhou, you want a big house, let's live together, I'm afraid..."

I said, "Yeah."

Five of us parked our car, moved our luggage again, and walked into the hotel lobby.

A girl was on duty and she was checking in for a fat man. Two security guards were walking around with batons. Their skin was very dark and they both looked quite kind.

I looked at the fat man's back and thought: He should be from another place, otherwise he would not live in a hotel. So, is he a real person or a fake person?

I walked to the front desk and waited for the fat man to finish the work, and asked the girl: "May I ask, are there 5 rooms?"

The girl checked on the computer and said, "Yes, it's on the third floor."

I said, "Let's register one."

At this time the phone rang, and the girl said to me: "Wait a minute." Then she answered the phone: "Hello, I am the front desk... Are you booking a meeting? OK, 21 people... 3 days... no problem..."

I stared at her face and felt scared again - since Wu Cheng is fake, this girl is fake, but her performance is too realistic!

If I wasn't standing in front of her at this time, I was driving to find the way out of the city. Will she still call here?

As I thought about it, my goosebumps were all rising.

After calling, the girl checked my ID card, collected a deposit, and handed me the key... Finally, she smiled and said, "I hope you have a good time."

I walked up to Meng Xiaoshuai and the others, picked up my luggage, and said, "Go."

The room was big, but it seemed crowded after 5 beds.

We sat scatteredly beside the bed, without talking.

The sky outside the window was still so blue, as blue as a huge canvas.

Guo Mei spoke first and broke the silence: "Let's call the police..."

I said: "Wucheng does not exist, but we found its information and maps online, so... the network we use is actually fake."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I said, the internet speed is so fast..."

I said, "I have posted on Weibo, and many readers have left messages. Now it seems that they are all fake."

Bai Xinxin said: "Why do you always think it is fake? Maybe it is an artificial conspiracy."

I glanced at him.

Only he was lying on the bed beside the window, without taking off his shoes, the sheets under his feet were kicked to a wrinkle and dirty.

I said, "Sit up, or you will take off your shoes."

He didn't move and said scoundrelly: "Since they are all fake, are you still afraid of getting the bed sheets dirty?"

I really don't want to pay attention to him.

Meng Xiaoshuai thought about it and said, "Boss Zhou, yes, will anyone harm us behind the scenes?"

I said, "No one has such great power."

After stopping, Wu Min said: "So, it's also fake to talk to our home on the phone?"

I said, "If we could go out and ask your family after you get home, they must have never received your call."

Guo Mei suddenly said: "Call the police!"

I said, "Wu Cheng is fake, and the police are fake."

I suddenly felt that my tone was so cold.

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "That chapter answers him..."

I said, "What the hell knows where he got it."

Guo Mei said: "If everything is fake, then what we eat must be fake. We have been in Wucheng for so many days and should have starved to death."

I said, "We may just be...a moment in Wucheng."

Guo Mei looked at me blankly.

I said, "I mean, the time here is fake."

Guo Mei said: "If you say so, the first and second floors are also fake. We are on the third floor, why didn't we fall down?"

I said, "We are not on the third floor. The space is also fake."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou, I really scared me this time..."

Wu Min suddenly said viciously: "Let's go and get explosives and blow this place up!"

I said, "The explosives are also fake."

Wu Min was discouraged: "What should I do!"

Bai Xinxin spoke again: "If it really doesn't work, I will stay here. I'm very happy to pick up a girl and get married and have children..."

I said, "The women here are all fake, and they are fake after giving birth to children."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou, will we... be fake?"

I looked at her and said with great certainty: "We are real."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Can't we even walk?"

I said, "I think I can go out, but we will go back to Lop Nur again and continue to be trapped."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "What the hell is going on?"

I said, "There is a mysterious power. Since we entered Lop Nur, I have felt its existence, and I believe you have also felt it. Now, I think we have entered its brain, or, in its imagination."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I am simple-minded and don't understand your words, please be more specific."

I thought about it and suddenly said, "Illusion."

Everyone looks at me.

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Illusion?"

I said, "I can't explain a few words clearly. Next, we can only wait and use calmness to stop."

At night, Bai Xinxin was lying on the bed by the window. The second bed was Wu Min, the third bed was Meng Xiaoshuai, the fourth bed was Guo Mei, and the fifth bed was me.

Everyone did not take off their clothes and lay down with their clothes.

After turning off the lights, Bai Xinxin went to the toilet. This person was very unpolite and heard the sound of "wagging" peeing. Everyone didn't speak.

After he came out, he lay on the bed, flipping around, causing the bed board to squeak.

The moon is beautiful, reminding me of the song "Half Moon Climbs Up" by Wang Luobin, the king of Western singers. When he was alive, I interviewed him in Xi'an. I wonder if he would have thought that the "half Moon" in his song also shines on this non-existent city.

Bai Xinxin was the first to fall asleep. I heard him grinding his teeth, "Crack..." sounded very fierce.

I hate it alone, and I hate it even when I fall asleep.

I told myself in my heart: You must be generous, and grinding teeth cannot be controlled by him...

Before I knew it, I fell asleep too.

On this night, I actually dreamed of someone, someone I unexpectedly thought of—

Before I set out for Lop Nur, I had the same dream for three consecutive days: a large area of ​​water, surrounded by sand, there was a woman wearing golden flowers on her body, and she was waving to me with a smile...

Three times I woke up from my dream.

After entering Lop Nur, I asked everyone, have you ever had a dream about sand and water before coming to Lop Nur?

Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaoshuai, Bubu, Bai Xinxin, Wei Zao, Zhanghui, Xu Erge... all had this dream! It was just similar.

At that time, I felt that it was fate that we came to Lop Nur...

Yes, that night, the woman wearing golden flowers appeared in my dream again.

I saw the large area of ​​water again, surrounded by sand. She stood in the middle of the green water and waved to me with a smile.

I was a little scared and looked at her from afar.

She walked towards me from the water lightly.
