Chapter 75 The Broken Pocket Watch

Gu Shen sighed lightly.

The second hypnosis is inevitable...Zhou Yexin is indeed more sensitive than others, she even captured her own blazing fire.

However, before hypnotizing, he decided to tell Miss Xiaoxin the truth she was searching for.

"That wisp of fire... is the same thing as your pocket watch." Gu Shen said calmly: "There are indeed phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by science... Your experimental research direction is correct, and there is no problem with your thinking. Dreams and the material world There are inextricably linked, the two affect each other, matter will affect the spirit, and the spirit will in turn determine the matter."

"This is one of the reasons why Mr. Tang Qingquan sent me here..."

Gu Shen affirmed Zhou Yexin's experimental direction.

But unexpectedly, she did not show such a relieved and relaxed look.

calm.

It was very peaceful.

Only calm.

Finding the extraordinary in the world of ordinary people is a lonely road full of thorns and wind and snow. From studying in Central Continent to sampling in Dadu, this woman's experiment has suffered a lot along the way.

"I know."

But she just smiled, stared at the pocket watch, and said: "...my experiment is right, I have always known it."

She raised her head, "Mr. Tang is the same person as you?"

"Yes... In a sense, we are all the same people, but there are a small number of guys who are more fortunate."

Gu Shen didn't know what made Miss Xiaoxin so determined.

He suddenly thought of the Awakening Decree, and thought of what Hu Pan Cui Zhongcheng said, that extraordinary awakening can be controlled by humans, and if one day the decree is really promulgated, then everyone has the possibility to become a superhuman.

Perhaps in the future, the secret of the extraordinary will no longer be a secret.

After a moment of silence, he looked into Zhou Yexin's eyes and said seriously: "People like us... are called 'transcendents'."

"Extraordinary..."

Zhou Yexin murmured softly and lowered his eyes, his hair fell down to cover his cheeks.

No one saw that her eyes were slightly moist.

She took a deep breath, wiped her face, and when she raised her head again, the brows of the boy opposite her were blazing again.

"Miss Xiaoxin, thank you for taking care of me these past few days..." Gu Shen said softly, "Now is not the time, please forget all of this."

The flame flickered.

The pocket watch thumped, this time as if he was about to confront Gu Shen.

Zhou Yexin smiled gratifiedly, and she held the pocket watch.

The next moment, as the owner fell asleep, the hands of the pocket watch no longer moved...

"Finally... it's you."

Gu Shen focused his eyes on the faulty pocket watch, his blazing fire flashed out, and came to Zhou Yexin's eyebrows, slowly blending in: "Let me take a good look at your real origin in the dream. "

……

……

The vehicle is speeding.

Sunshine.

Opening his eyes, Gu Shen saw the shadows of cars passing by on the asphalt road, and the roar and noise that suddenly went away swept through his ears.

This is the first time he has entered this kind of bright and warm dreamland. There are no oppressive dark clouds or weird rules. This is like a real afternoon world. He can even feel that his mood is quite cheerful. ...

His original intention was to use this hypnosis to go to Zhou Yexin's dream to investigate the origin of the pocket watch. Although the aura contained in this extraordinary item is weak, it belongs to the category of sealed item after all.

"The first memory about the pocket watch...was childhood?"

Gu Shen lowered his head.

He saw his immature white palm.

Then...he felt himself walking forward slowly. Although his eyes could move freely, his body movements were out of his control.

The owner of this body is Childhood Zhou Yexin.

Although I have come to the dreamland, I am just a spectator, or a ghost living in the body of the owner.

"Be careful."

A broad and powerful palm landed on top of his head.

Gu Shen saw a tall man in a suit holding "myself". The man's voice was very warm, which made people feel inexplicably at ease, but his face was covered by a broken mess...

"This is... Zhou Yexin's father?" Gu Shen was startled, "But... why is his face gone?"

The girl in the dream whispered aggrievedly.

"Dora is missing... I'm going to find her..."

The man squatted down, with countless garbled characters flowing across his face, but his voice was still heart-warming, "Don't cry, Dad will buy you another one."

"But...buy another one...it won't be Dora..."

The girl sobbed and wiped her cheeks vigorously, trying to look across the road, her voice was intermittent: "I lost Dora...I'm going to find her..."

The man who couldn't see his face clearly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on the girl's face.

"Don't cry, it doesn't look good when you cry... Dad will take you to find Dora."

He pulled the girl across the road and then across the lawn.

Gu Shen noticed... the color of this dream suddenly changed, the original warm sunlight began to dissipate, the clouds were covered by lead clouds, there were no noisy cars around, and the whole world became silent and lonely.

It's just that the man holding hands has always walked steadily, giving people a very strong sense of security.

In the end, the two stopped in front of a villa with red bricks and white tiles.

The day is over.

The lead cloud is overwhelming.

The dream at this moment is no longer as warm as it was at the beginning, but reveals great depression in all directions.

"Papa... I saw Dora!"

The girl yelled happily. Under the eaves of the villa, there was a rabbit puppet, a small puppet, whose body was blowing in the wind.

Just after taking a step, the girl's joyful expression froze, and her voice stopped abruptly.

The originally clean little rabbit doll has been pierced through the chest and hollowed out. It is suspended by a red string, dangling and full of dirt.

"We found Dora."

The man said softly: "Xiaoxin, stand here and don't move, Dad will help you bring Dora home."

He walked towards the villa.

A thunderclap resounded in the cloud of lead.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the villa in the dream suddenly exploded, large pieces of glass suddenly burst, raging tides burst out from the back room, and the flames soared to the sky, and the majestic flames instantly engulfed the father's figure——

The girl stood there in a daze, a ferocious sea of ​​scarlet flames reflected in her pupils.

She was standing on the edge of the sea of ​​fire.

The weeds at the feet just gave birth to a small flame, which was immediately doused by the heavy rain.

Thunder and tremors, heavy rain pouring down, the whole world was cold and silent, only the dilapidated villas danced in the flames soaring into the sky, the heat here was like purgatory.

A tall figure, in the core area of ​​the explosion, was hit by a huge impact, was immediately lifted up, and fell heavily to the ground, but he did not die... Instead, he struggled to get up and knelt on the ground , moving slowly, finally he came to the boundary line between the heavy rain and the scorching tide, and with trembling hands, he handed out a doll.

The surface of the puppet rabbit is coated with a light red coating, as if time has flowed back, and it has been restored to its original clean and spotless appearance.

"dad……"

The girl's voice was very low. She took the rabbit and held it tightly in her arms. She recognized the man who had been burned to such an extent.

This time, the man didn't wipe away her tears.

The palm of the hand raised somewhat helplessly, wanting to touch it, but was restrained in the end.

"Xiaoxin...be obedient from now on..."

The man smiled gently, the scarlet flames had engulfed him completely, he looked like a miserable blood man.This is a flame that ordinary people can't understand. It is as dazzling as blood, as if it can swallow everything and burn everything.

The strong wind howled, and the blood-colored flames swayed wantonly in the rainstorm, like evil spirits laughing wildly.

Dad's figure was burned by fire, blown out by wind, and shattered by rain.

This fire wave lasted for a long time. The girl stood in the heavy rain, hugging the rabbit tightly. In the dream world, countless passers-by passed by. They were all unimportant people. Blurred faces.

Finally the siren blew and the ambulance arrived.

Many people gathered in front of this burning sea of ​​flames, they watched, investigated, and collected evidence.

But there is nothing left here.

Not even a single piece of clothing could be found, and all traces that could prove the existence of this man were burned into nothingness.

Only one lone survivor remains...a little girl holding a stuffed bunny.

After a long time, everyone dispersed.

After the fire, there was no sunny day in this dream, it was always cloudy and rainy, and it was dark.

"..."

The little girl felt a hard object inside Dora's body.

"Quack."

"Quack."

In the silent dreamland, this orderly, monotonous beating sound appeared.

The girl took out the inside of the stuffed bunny, the only thing Dad left behind in the fire.

It was a pocket watch.

The pocket watch was badly damaged, the dial was broken, it was impossible to keep time correctly, and the hands were permanently fixed on the 12 o'clock scale.

but.

Still beating.
