escape the nightmare

"'Are you also the game up master?'

'Yes yes, I heard you too? '

'Haha yes [Smile], we can cooperate next time we have a chance. '

'my pleasure! '

……

'It's getting late, good night. '

'Ah good!Good night! '"

……

"Sir, sir?" It wasn't until the conductor's voice sounded in Lin Feng's ears that Lin Feng suddenly came back to his senses.

Conductor: "Please show your ID, thank you for your cooperation."

"Oh oh oh... OK." Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly rummaged in his pocket, and handed the ID to the conductor.

While the conductor was checking the ticket, Lin Feng raised his eyes and looked at the LCD screen in the carriage. The screen showed that it was only more than an hour before the departure time.

But for Lin Feng, he felt that this hour passed like a week.

This so-called "tour to the ancient city" was completely different for Lin Feng from the last time. He didn't have any work purpose in the game, and he didn't care about whether he endorsed or not.Back in time to this point, Lin Feng felt that the most important thing for him was to find Jiangzhang again and get to know Jiangzhang, besides finding a way to end the game.

So after parting with Jiangzhang at the gate of the imperial city, Lin Feng didn't know what else he could do in the ancient city, so he simply bought a train ticket back home and left the ancient city overnight.

But Lin Feng knew in his heart that the reason why he chose this way was more because he knew that once the night came and the sun rose again, everything would move forward again, and it didn't make any essential difference to him whether he could leave here or not.

Lin Feng turned on the phone again, and the chat window between him and Jiang Zhang was still on it.Although Lin Feng had already memorized all Jiangzhang's account numbers and contact methods by heart, after he found Jiangzhang again and got to know Jiangzhang, Lin Feng went through the motions and asked Jiangzhang for contact information.

Just after Lin Feng finished adding Jiang Zhang as friends, he started chatting with Jiang Zhang.Lin Feng found that he didn't know when he started, even if he was just typing and talking through the screen with Jiang Zhang, he was already very happy.

Although Lin Feng knew in his heart that after tonight, he and Jiang Zhang would become complete strangers, but he still chose to "do nothing".

Just like he decided to take this train, he knew that even if he didn't buy this return train ticket, the game would soon let him travel directly home.

Lin Feng felt that maybe he did this because he thought it was better to leave voluntarily than to separate passively. Lin Feng felt that he could at least deceive himself a bit, telling himself that it was not the game that forced him to separate from Jiang Zhang, but his own choice to say goodbye. His tactical compromise.

And even if time went backwards, Lin Feng felt that he would have a buffer in his heart.

This is the best option right now.

Lin Feng smiled wryly. He found that even though the previous five games were all about running for his life, he had never felt so embarrassed before.

Even at this point, Lin Feng still has no clue about the sixth game.

He didn't know what this game of running or dying was going to do, and he didn't know when the time would end, he could only helplessly watch everything going back in front of his eyes, looking at his partner I fell into the game with my lover, then lost my memory, and then parted.But he couldn't find any breakthrough.

Lin Feng could only watch helplessly as everyone forgot about him and left him.

Lin Feng feels that his current state is a good example of what it means to be "destroyed". A Jiangzhang is enough to make him mentally exhausted, and he has no time to take care of the situation of Shan Han and Wang Jiang now.

Anyway, Shan Han will not know him sooner or later, and even if Wang Jiang remembers him, he will not remember the existence of "June [-]".

Although Lin Feng was absolutely unwilling to welcome the arrival of a new day, he still couldn't bear his drowsiness after all, and Lin Feng quickly fell asleep on the back of the seat.

When Lin Feng opened his eyes again, he found that everything was exactly as he imagined, and he was taken back to his home by the game for free.But this time the connection of time and space in the game is still as natural as ever. When Lin Feng woke up, he found that the train seat under him had turned into a gaming chair at home, and the sound of the train whizzing by his ears had also become the sound in the earphones. The current sound of the computer standby.

Lin Feng was not surprised by all this.Lin Feng felt that the only thing he could figure out now was the rules of time jumping in this game.

The first time he went back to his hometown, he had a nightmare on the night of the New Year's Eve, and the transition back in time was just after waking up from that nightmare.The second time he was back on the train to Ocean Park, he also had a nightmare on the train.But for the third time, he skipped Lian Na's game and came to the ancient city.

This is because he didn't have a dream before entering Lian Na's game.

So Lin Feng based on the experience he summed up above, he thinks that this time it is definitely going back to before the birthday party game.Because he remembers it very clearly, just like the next few games, he also had a nightmare before the start of the first game.

That's why Lin Feng cherished the time he spent with Jiang Zhang yesterday so much - he didn't know Jiang Zhang on his birthday a year ago, and they were still strangers from the south of the city to the north of the city.It became more difficult for him to find Jiangzhang back.

Because he has to create opportunities for encounters by himself.

Lin Feng sighed, moved the mouse, and waited for the words "[-]" to appear in the barrage, then turned his head and found "[-]" on the bookshelf as he did for the first time.

However, after the screen saver was released, the content on the screen made Lin Feng feel like a thunderbolt.

Lin Feng looked at the mailbox interface on the screen in disbelief. An unread email was displayed on the interface, and this email came from the Horror company that he and Jiang Zhang later blacklisted together.

Lin Feng swallowed, he hesitated for a long time staring at the screen, and finally moved the mouse to the word "check".

Lin Feng felt his fingertips trembling, and he clicked several times before opening the email.

"Game name: "Yingyan Opera"

……

"

When Lin Feng saw the words "Yingyan Opera", he felt his whole body shaking, and even his brain froze for a moment.He subconsciously glanced at the date at the bottom of the screen

—Today is not June thirteenth.

He didn't go back to before the birthday party game this time!

Lin Feng's pupils shook, and the excessive shock made him bounce off the chair, and the chair hit the wall due to the recoil.The huge impact made Lin Feng startled again, but it also calmed him down a bit.

Lin Feng took a few deep breaths, turned around and hurriedly found the phone on the table.He turned on the phone, and the date on the phone stimulated Lin Feng's spirit again.

Whether it is a computer or a mobile phone, the calendar on it clearly tells Lin Feng that today is indeed not the No. 13 of June last year, but the day before he went to the ancient city.

Lin Feng felt that his mind was in a mess, and he felt that the clues he had worked out with great difficulty were wiped out in an instant.Time doesn't go backwards regularly as he imagined, or in other words, it doesn't know when, regularity has become irregular.

Lin Feng softened, and leaned against the desk half-sat.He turned his head and looked at the room where he had lived for several years.

Lin Feng felt a feeling of fear for no reason.He is not afraid of living alone, but afraid of being alone in his life.

But this game is just like good luck, it just likes to tease people, the more Lin Feng is afraid, the more things will happen to him.Lin Feng found that since the time was only reversed to the day before he arrived in the ancient city, the speed of time regressed seemed to change from fast forward to 0.5 times speed.

The transformation of time and space is no longer carried out in a jumping way, but really going backwards day by day.When Lin Feng wakes up every day, he will see that the calendar page that was torn off has returned to the calendar, the withered flowers have reopened in a reverse growth manner, and the original game save point is gradually moving forward. move.

Lin Feng will follow the original historical trajectory at the beginning, trying to ensure that every day is spent according to the memory.But one day is fine, two days are fine, and three days can still hold on.

... But four days, one week, one year?

Even if Lin Feng gritted his teeth and could carry it, his memory couldn't hold it up either.Lin Feng couldn't remember everything he had done in so many ordinary days.

Lin Feng woke up from his nap. He didn't know how many times he had taken the subway from his home to Jiangzhang's home.Maybe it's the 610th time, maybe it's exactly [-] times, or maybe it's more.

Lin Feng has lived a life of going backwards day by day for almost two full years.And even in these nearly two years, he still hasn't found a way to end the game. He feels like he's caught in an endless loop. No matter how hard he struggles, he just can't find any breakthrough. .

But Lin Feng had another intuition, he felt that he seemed to be hovering on the edge of the correct answer all the time, but he just couldn't find it.

That feeling is like the recitation question that was half silent in the Chinese examination room suddenly got stuck, and then I couldn't remember what the next sentence was.

This feeling became the only thing that accompanied Lin Feng through these two years.Lin Feng didn't know how he got here in the past two years. His task every day when he opened his eyes was to check the date on his phone, and then dressed in disappointment, took the subway on time and appeared near Jiangzhang's house, and There is a "chance encounter" in Jiangzhang.

Lin Feng felt that the six words "Hello, my name is Lin Feng" had made his lips cocooned.But Lin Feng still couldn't let it go.As time went by, Lin Feng's confidence in him being able to successfully escape from this game became lower and lower.Sometimes he even felt pessimistically that he might never be able to get out.

So he didn't want to lose Jiangzhang.

Lin Feng reflexively walked out of the car when the subway arrived for the tenth time, turned right, got on the elevator, turned left again, swiped his card, and exited the gate.

Everything has become a mechanical memory and behavior.

After leaving the subway station, Lin Feng walked along the roadside trees towards the direction of Jiangzhang Community. Lin Feng knew that Jiangzhang would basically go downstairs for a morning run at this point.So Lin Feng would pretend to go for a morning run every day, and then became "running friends" with Jiang Zhang.

Just as Lin Feng walked a few steps, he saw Jiang Zhang in sportswear appearing at the gate of the community without exception at the same time.

But Lin Feng stopped today, he didn't run forward to make friends with Jiang Zhang as usual.Standing in the shade, Lin Feng watched Jiang Zhang bend down to tie his shoelaces, then put the towel over his shoulders, got up and ran along the sidewalk.

Until Jiang Zhang's figure disappeared from sight, Lin Feng didn't take another step forward.He watched Jiang Zhang leave like this.

Lin Feng looked away, and he suddenly laughed.He realized that he seemed to be laughing a little loudly, because he couldn't help but glance at him from everyone passing by.

Lin Feng was laughing all the time, and he even found himself crying from laughter.I don't know how long it took, but Lin Feng finally felt a little tired from laughing. He squatted down and squatted next to the root of the tree.
