Ten Days End

"What's going on...?"

His forehead was covered with sweat, and then he closed his eyes again.

He abandoned all his "beliefs" and told himself over and over again that it was just a dream, everything was fake, he just had a nightmare, and he could return to the real world as soon as he opened his eyes.

But no matter how many times he opened his eyes, he saw the blood-red city in front of him.

Every building in the city was beating, and the eyeballs in the sky were staring at him. Even if the situation was so weird...but it was still real.

Yes, all this was too real, so real that it couldn't cut off his beliefs at all.

"Damn..." Xiao Cheng stood up tremblingly, looking around blankly, "It's just a dream...let me out..."

He tried his best to shake his beliefs, but his brain was completely out of control. If there was anything that was the most helpless thing in the world, it was that he knew he was in a "nightmare", but he had no way to wake up from it.

Xiao Cheng stood there for a while with his eyes flickering, and a thought quietly emerged in his mind-

It's not that there is no way out at this time, there is only one way out.

Perhaps... only by helping Qi Xia rebuild his psychological defenses can there be a small chance of getting out of this unscathed...

Xiao Cheng could only comfort himself in his heart, maybe the city itself is not like this, it is just ruined because of the damage from the outside world.

As long as the "source" can be found, maybe everything can be saved.

But such a big city... where can I find Qi Xia?

What kind of memories is he experiencing in this dream?

Xiao Cheng slowly raised his head and suddenly found that things were extremely difficult, but easier than he thought.

In the house built with flesh and blood not far away, there was a window with a faint light on. The rest of the windows of the building were all dark, like a black hole dug out of flesh and blood, but only a window on the fourth floor was lit.

It seemed that someone was moving inside.

All the people here seemed not to move, so it must be Qi Xia himself who was moving.

Xiao Cheng calmed down and walked slowly towards the house.

The people on both sides of the road always stood still, their faces facing in all directions. No matter how Xiao Cheng moved, there were always a few people facing him.

Although those people had no eyes, Xiao Cheng could feel countless eyes on him.

The pupils in the sky were also staring at Xiao Cheng's steps. He felt that every step he took was like a performance.

All the "people" in this world were the audience of this performance. They were motionless and focused on their steps.

This feeling made Xiao Cheng feel cold all over, as if he would be pounced on and killed by a group of people immediately if he did something wrong.

Under the "gaze" of countless people, Xiao Cheng walked forward tremblingly. Although it was only a distance of more than 100 meters, he felt that he had used up all his strength.

Stepping on this slightly elastic, constantly beating ground, Xiao Cheng's legs were always out of control. After finally arriving in front of the residential building, he quickly reached out to hold the door frame of the unit building to rest for a while, but the moment he touched it, he immediately retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

It was really weird, these flesh and blood really had temperature.

Xiao Cheng's cold hands felt a burst of warmth as soon as they touched the wall, which once again greatly impacted his spirit.

Is the building alive... or is the city alive?

He slowly took a step back and looked up at the unit door in front of him. This unit door was completely made of crimson flesh and blood, like the bloody mouth of some monster, and it was quietly waiting for prey to walk in.

If Xiao Cheng had any other choice, he would never walk into this door, but the owner of this horrible dream was in the door, and he was the source of all problems.

Xiao Cheng took a deep breath and walked straight in. The temperature of the air around him suddenly rose a few degrees, but Xiao Cheng's back was still wet with cold sweat.

He remembered that the faint light came from the north room on the fourth floor of the building, so he walked up the stairs based on his memory.

The stairs felt even stranger. Xiao Cheng felt his scalp tingling after just a few steps.

Although the stairs were also made of flesh and blood, in order to shape the stairs, it seemed to have bones inside. Every step was like stepping on a piece of raw meat ribs, making a constant "crunch, crunch" sound that made it impossible to even think.

Xiao Cheng resisted the nausea and fear in his heart and finally stood at the door of the room on the fourth floor.

OnlyLooking at the security door in front of him, Xiao Cheng had countless questions in his mind.

Unlike the warm, sticky flesh and blood around it, this is a common iron security door, and there are even spots of rust left over the years.

This iron door seems to grow in the flesh and blood.

Is this place... any different from other places?

Xiao Cheng calmed down, stretched out his trembling hand and knocked on the iron door, but he forgot that this was in someone else's dream, and the knocked iron door did not make a sound.

As he said, he is not the master of this dream, and it is difficult to affect everything in the dream.

Now he can't even do the simplest knock on the door.

"Hey!" Xiao Cheng had no choice but to change his way and shouted, "Is anyone there?!"

Qi Xia, the owner of this dream, is the master of this area, but based on past experience, the owner of a dream often cannot hear or see himself. Perhaps he is not good enough at controlling "entering the dream", or perhaps his "belief" is not strong enough, so it is even more difficult to influence them.

Just as Xiao Cheng was hesitating, a strange sound of footsteps came from behind him. He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly looked back.

But he saw a young girl in white clothes carrying a plastic bag, stepping on the flesh and blood under her feet and walking up step by step. She was different from all the pedestrians on the street. Not only did she have delicate and exquisite facial features, but her expression also looked a little tired.

Although Xiao Cheng looked puzzled, he was also very sensible to step aside.

The girl did not look at him. She went straight to the door of the fourth floor, took out the key from her handbag, and then opened the door.

"Xia, I'm back." The girl asked.

She didn't close the door, and walked straight into the house with a few plastic bags.

Seeing the security door about to close, Xiao Cheng quickly reached out and pulled it, but suddenly remembered that he was in the other person's dream at this time, and he couldn't even complete the subconscious action of opening the door. The closing security door seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't pull it at all.

So he quickly dodged and got into the door when the security door was about to close.
