17 Ghosts in the Sun
When I was a child, I was afraid of walking at night, especially when I was afraid of walking in places where the lights were invisible. Therefore, whenever I encountered a street light, I would walk over quickly. It seemed that there was a game rule invisibly in the real world: where the street lights were exposed, it was a safety circle, and evil spirits could not enter.
This is the light of street lights, and even more so is the sun. I believe that evil spirits are more afraid of sunlight than afraid of lights.
But I had watched such a horror movie a long time ago. I forgot the title and specific content, but I could still tell the beginning and end. The plot is that the protagonist is trapped in a haunted house at night. After going through a lot of hardships, he finally escaped from the haunted house at the end of the movie and returned to the sunny day. However, the last scene of the movie is that the evil spirits that should have been eliminated appeared on the streets full of sunshine. Even the bright sunshine could not suppress the gloomy sunshine.
的气场.除了主角谁都看不见那恶灵,周围人群的交谈声和走路声逐渐淡去,背景音乐也不知何时停止了,画面里只有逐渐拉近的缓缓抬起脸的恶灵.最终恶灵的面部占据了画面的全部,电影随着主角的尖叫声结束了.那时我就忍不住感想,恐怖故事里最恐怖的不是在深夜狭窄的地方撞到恶灵,而是恶灵居然现身在阳光下.
In the eyes of some people who recognize me, I am probably similar to the evil spirits wandering in the sun.
It has been several days since the Security Bureau was released. Logically, I should return to society and live an ordinary life under the supervision of the law enforcement warlock appointed by the Security Bureau. But now, I have thrown away the law enforcement warlocks responsible for supervising myself, and even the positioning device I originally wore on my body was left in the city and went to the suburbs alone.
My destination is the nameless mountain located on the outskirts of Liucheng.
Liucheng is not a virtual city that exists only in my dreams. Of course, Wuming Mountain is not a virtual place to come out. I grew up in Liucheng since I was a child, and my parents also worked and lived in Liucheng. When I was arrested by the Security Bureau, I happened to be near this familiar city. It has to be said that it was also a fate. It also made it easier for me to get rid of the supervisor and go to Wuming Mountain immediately. As for what to do there? What to say is nothing more than following the urge to "want to go back to the place where I met it". In other words, it is "revisiting the old place again."
It's just such a simple reason. It's just for this reason. I guess the supervisor will be stunned by this. But she is also a tough guy to me. I have been decoupled from normal life for too long. When I met "it", I was still a student, and I have never experienced the social life of adults. Now I want me to return to society, where can I return? No matter where I go, I only have the feeling of rootless duckweed in my heart.
In order to avoid being blocked by mobile phone signals or taking public transportation, I threw away my phone and walked to the Unknown Mountains. When I arrived, it was already afternoon. I was strolling on the mountain path, but I felt particularly wonderful.
In my dream, I also walked on the mountain path, and then I was lost in the mountains without realizing it. If I continued to walk like now, would I suddenly be lost at a certain moment and had already entered the dark forest when I came to my senses?
The mountain path in the dream is probably based on my memories of junior high school. Five years have passed, and this mountain path is still almost the same. As I walked around, I felt like I couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. The self-conceived real world is actually a false dream - the bizarre sense of shock still echoed strongly in my inner world, making me feel uneasy about whether I was in the real world at this moment.
In order to get myself out of this feeling, I focused on climbing mountains. Sometimes, I would hear illusory murmurs. The murmurs that always accompanied my ears, as if guiding me in the darkness. I climbed up the steps step by step, and the past few days flashed back in my mind.
----
After the Security Bureau declared me acquitted, the Bluebird appeared before me again and led me to the Security Bureau's exit.
Let’s first introduce the Security Bureau. The full name of this organization is “National Secret Security Bureau”.
I don’t know much about the Security Bureau, but just like the Bluebird explained in my dream, the "Security Bureau" and "Standard Enforcement Warlock" are actually departments and roles responsible for handling various secret events in China, just like the "Witch Hunter Department" and "Witch Hunter" in the dream. Needless to say, this kind of organization has branches all over the country, and the one who detains me is the Security Bureau Branch in Liucheng.
And "warlock", as the name suggests, is a person who can cast spells.
I am going to expose my ignorance here again. I don’t really know warlocks very well. Because I have never been seriously involved in the circle of warlocks, nor have I formally learned spells. In the eyes of warlocks, I am just a wild way. My understanding of their knowledge and my understanding of demon hunters in my dreams is fifty steps and a hundred steps.
The blue bird seems to be quite popular here. When she is leading the way for me, some passing staff wearing white house uniforms will take the initiative to say hello to her, and a young woman with a ponytail praised her for her new hair accessories.
"Thank you." Bluebird smiled and nodded.
I felt that she looked familiar to her, so I asked her, "Have I seen you somewhere?"
She was stunned, then smiled and asked, "You haven't forgotten everything in your dreams, right?"
"Of course not, I remember it all. I mean a little longer ago..." I said, recalling, "...I remembered that the team that attacked me, you should be in there too."
"Yes," she said, "Do you hate me?"
I have no hatred for the Bluebirds and others.
Since "it" was killed, I felt free from a twisted vortex. The crazy and corrupt soul in the past seemed to disappear from my body without a trace. Just like floating from the endless sea of dreams to the surface, my soul finally belonged to me again. Now, I may be closer to the me in the dream in my logic.
But even in the past, I wouldn't think of taking revenge on the Security Bureau. I do have deep feelings for "it", but at the same time, I also hold this idea from beginning to end - since I have eaten so many people, it would be natural to be killed one day. And this idea is the same with myself, it is impossible for me to not be retribution. However, I was acquitted without any mistakes.
I should find a place to break myself.
Although this way of ending is completely inconsistent with my aesthetic concept, since others don’t do it, they should do it themselves.
While making up my mind, I inevitably had this idea: I wanted to see "it" again before ending everything.
However, "it" has become a corpse. It has been so long since I was afraid I can no longer see my true appearance. What is the point of seeing such a corpse apart from disillusioning yourself? Or maybe I should be disillusioned and end my life with this disillusionment feeling?
While ridiculing myself ruthlessly, I went to observe the blue bird again. Two days ago, her left arm was still broken, but now it seems to be connected, and she has turned back to the intact blue bird again.
Is it a prosthetic limb? It doesn't feel like it is a normal arm no matter how you look at it.
"How did you heal the wound caused by the Siren Blade?" I asked curiously.
"The wound caused by the Siren Blade usually cannot heal...so I used a less usual method," she said. "I didn't expect it at first, but the teacher thought of it. Since the wound cannot be cured, don't need this wound."
This sentence is a bit difficult to understand, but I soon realized it. Her method is very simple, just to have a little more amputation and use ordinary new wounds to cover the incurable old wounds. It sounds quite painful, but as long as anesthesia is applied and combined with the healing spell, it can fill in the missing flesh and bones and connect the original arm again.
I couldn't help but feel happy for her when I thought she could be free from disability.
But then, I was ashamed of my happiness. I just had some friendship with her in my dream, but I regarded myself as a friend's mentality. This was really a self-indulgent. Moreover, she knew the clear and innocent me in the dream, not the current me with a bad record. If I knew that I looked at her from the perspective of a friend, she would be so disgusting.
In fact, from my own perspective, I don’t mean to separate myself from the self in my dreams. Just as I said to Blue Bird in my dreams, whether in reality or in my dreams, I am Li Du. It’s just that I have eliminated some illusions and illusions and remembered some things again. In the past two days, I even have some illusions. Is it because of the reality of the demon Li Du dreaming in the security bureau and becoming a college student Li Du in the dream? Or is it that the college student Li Du dozed off on the train to the unknown mountain, dreaming that he became a demon Li Du in another world?
But from the perspective of others, this is definitely not the case. It seems that I am the same person as myself in my dream, but I am shamelessly playing a kind person.
After leaving the Security Bureau, Bluebird stood in front of the gate and said to me: "Although the bureau has acquitted you, you have done so many things before, and you have a body transformed by the Siren... The bureau is also worried that you will have some psychological problems and cause trouble outside, so you still have to be equipped with a supervisor."
Of course I have no objection, "Who is the supervisor?"
"It's me." She pointed to herself.
This person is my monitor in dreams and my supervisor in reality? Although I am speechless, it doesn’t matter who is my supervisor. I have decided to end it today.
"It's not just that you are a supervisor, but you have to meet me regularly and report your current life. Also, in order to help you return to society, the bureau also plans to arrange a relatively simple job for you, but it has not decided where to arrange you. Before that, you still need living expenses and living expenses... The living expenses are all in this card, and the password is recorded in the memo on your phone. As for living..." She handed me the brand new mobile phone and card, and said, "Are you planning to go home to live with your parents, or to live in a temporary residence that the bureau can assist?"
I took the new phone and card and replied in a silly manner, "The latter one."
"Okay." She nodded, "I will go to work first and then help you with your accommodation. You can go out first. I will call you in the evening and have dinner together. After dinner, I will take you to your accommodation."
Of course, Bluebird's job is not just to be my supervisor. She is the main level law enforcement warlock of the Security Bureau. Since she is the main force, there must be a lot of other things to be busy with.
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Compared with the dream, her attitude was obviously distant. Even if she smiled, it was more like wearing a mask. Of course, she would be kind and gentle to me in the dream, and would even sacrifice her arms without hesitation, because I was not a sinful demon in the dream. But even with this kind of self-consciousness, I could not help but be depressed, and I pressed this depression into my heart and pretended to be unchanged.
Then I left here too.
The address of Liucheng Security Bureau is divided into different regions from my previous home, but because the district is close, it is still a distance that can be reached by hiking. Unlike the dream in summer, in reality, in a few days, the Frost Descent solar term will be in the future, and the weather will be cooler. When I left the gate of the Security Bureau, it was noon, and I walked forward in the city until the afternoon, and then came to the familiar street that I had been away from for five years.
A strong feeling of change of things emerged from my heart. I walked and looked around, and unknowingly, I walked into the community where I was.
This is an old community, and the security is not so strict, so I casually got in. Soon, I came downstairs of the sixth-story old residential building that looked very familiar, but hesitated. Five years have passed, and the old residential building has been replaced with advanced electronic doors. But the reason why I hesitated was not that I couldn't get in, but that when I walked here, my timid mood became even deeper. When I thought of bumping into my parents, I felt very scared.
Although the Security Bureau visited my parents to investigate my affairs, as a secret organization, it must have not told them about my whereabouts and actions over the years. If they suddenly saw their son who had been missing for five years, they would have been very shocked. Even if they knew how scum his son had become, they would have been shocked.
My relationship with my parents has never been good. During the Wumingshan Love Letter Storm, it was because I had a cold war with my parents and I was in a very bad mood. Then I broke up with her when I deliberately ridiculed me at the front desk. But on the other hand, the reason why I was so depressed was because they occupied a very important position in my heart.
At this time, the electronic door of the residential building opened and a figure came out from it. I didn't even have the courage to check what the person who came out looked like, so I left in a mess.
Looking back, today is not a day off, my parents should still be working, and it is impossible for them to come out of it, but I can’t care about so many things. I didn’t dare to return after leaving. When it was late, many schools were over, and students in sportswear were walking on the way home with schoolbags. This scene made me slow down.
Suddenly, I felt someone hitting my body behind me. Looking back, I saw a child in school uniform. It seemed that he didn't look at the road while running, and after hitting me, he fell to the ground.
There was an old man carrying a schoolbag behind him rushing here, shouting, "I told you not to run, I told you not to run... I saw you fall..."
I took the initiative to stretch out my hand and wanted to hold the child up, "Are you okay?"
The child was about to grab my hand, when the old man who ran behind him suddenly grabbed the child's collar and pulled him to his side. Not only did he pull him up from the ground and stand up, but he also took him behind him.
Anyone who saw it would think it was the old man's violence and had no understanding of the children. I thought so in an instant, but then I realized that it was not. The old man stared at me with a look of alert that his muscles were about to cramp, and slowly took the children backed back.
This is because I have tried too hard to warn strangers. The intuition I have developed over the years that I have come to the conclusion.
He recognized me, the evil spirit wandering in the sun.
