Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver
Chapter 17
When my eyes met the female corpse in the pool, I felt stars flashing before my eyes, as if someone had slapped a sap on the back of my head, and I suddenly fell into darkness, and could no longer feel the existence of my limbs.
"No, that’s the middle of the road! If I fall, it's Dixie's turn next!"I secretly lamented in my heart. I wanted to make amends but it was still too late. In the past, I only knew that the weirdos in the dark world were good at performing this kind of magic. Unexpectedly, a female corpse soaked in mud could also cause such a big damage. The destructive power is really amazing.
However, is that really a dead body? Or is she immortal as a flag mirror master? To put it more clearly, could it be that since 1972, she has just been trapped in the formation? I can't escape from it, but in fact I have never really died?
As I was thinking wildly, my eyes began to become clear, as if a person had just come back from a nap. The eyes that met my eyes were still a pair of big eyes, but That is not a female corpse but a wooden sculpture. The evil god statue with snarling fangs and claws looks like a Buddha, but it has slender arms like vipers and wields various weird weapons.
What kind of ghost place is this? Isn't the Waterfall Apartment the last nightmare? Are there more unknown nightmares?
Soon, I found that my feet were shaking slightly. When I got up to stretch my muscles, I noticed that I was facing a porthole and it was pouring rain outside. At this moment, I was on a bumpy ship. In the cruise ship room, distant thunder can be heard in the ears
"Is this what Dixie calls dull thunder? I frowned, paced around the room, and said to myself:"It is very different from the tin drum beating that I often hear. The former is regular, while the latter comes and goes. It should not be the same kind of noise.""
Soon, I realized that I couldn't do anything in this room, so I simply walked out and looked around to find out where I was. Since I was on the boat, Sister Di must be nearby, so I I have to find her to check.
"We need to see Sister Di immediately before something happens to her."I groaned and opened the door. After walking a few meters, I was not only stopped by my ridiculous behavior. What I said was nice, there was no need to worry about her safety. I was a flying bird who entered the sun to save her. But the reality was her self. I have a stronger sense of protection. I have been killed more than once in the previous nightmares. Do I really need protection from others?
No, I feel more dependent on Sister Di than having her around me, and I am used to getting along with her. To be honest , although she is as beautiful as a flower, I have never had any evil thoughts. Along the way, I can always think of Lin Rui and his godmother of unknown origin, forget-me-not. Now I also have a godmother who is equally worthy of the stage. I suddenly feel mentally balanced. Although both Krys and Cherry hate her, I think Dixie is sincere and kind. She may ignore other people and put on airs, but in her eyes, I She is a child of the same age as her cousin Chuuk, and carries a lost memory.
Therefore, she has a mother's temperament, and she can calmly listen to all my sufferings. When we stare at each other in silence, that kind of feeling The gaze is unique. Suddenly, I understood why I had all kinds of sudden emotions towards her before. In fact, just like Sister Di said, everything has been advanced. All the things that have not happened have been rooted in earlier times. , that’s why I risked my life to break into the fantasy world.
I just hope that after the disaster is over, she can still treat me in this normal way, and not be told by the female soldiers that her behavior is all about public relations.
Through the end Through a porthole, I finally came under the rain curtain. Sure enough, I was on the deck of a cruise ship at this moment. The sea and sky were the same color, and my eyes were filled with dark clouds and ink-like waves. Beyond the horizon, there was an island, as misty as a mirage.. The whistle sounded in my ears, and a high-pitched baritone began to broadcast. Only then did I hear clearly that the name of the cruise ship under my feet was the Chimera, and its destination was this reef called Dragon's Teeth. In an hour, the ship will be docked.
But why do I appear on the ship for no reason? Where will the nightmare lead me? There are more and more idle people around me. They stand in the rain with umbrellas and comment. Among them are French guys. During the messy conversation, I just realized that I was in the waters near Italy at the moment, and this whole boatload of people had been invited to the island to attend a high-level night banquet.
Looking at the men and women in formal clothes in front of me, I couldn't distinguish the specific era. , we can only guess from the makeup on the women’s faces. But no one is wearing gel lip gloss, and there are no perforated belt rings, and the leather bags they are carrying are very large, with traces of sewing exposed, which is obviously not contemporary. And you It had to be said that it was the first half of the century, but it didn’t look like it, because the men smoked cigarettes with cigarette holders, and some people were taking pictures with Nikon cameras.
Soon, I noticed that I was also wearing a banquet dress, and The crowds all around were dressed in the same uniform, and it was hard to figure out who they were. It was very easy to explain this problem. All you had to do was ask a lady five meters away who was applying make-up to borrow a jewelry mirror, and you could tell with just one look. Think of me He began to approach her, nodding and smiling at the men with Baotou around him along the way, trying his best to suppress the panic in his heart. Thinking of me as a loser, standing among a group of young men and ladies, I really looked both inferior and out of place.
Just at this moment, there was a call from behind. When I turned around to look, I saw a black-haired woman I had never seen before standing in front of me.
This person is about 1.7 meters tall, with long black hair, and a very stunning appearance, but he is not my type.
Who is this? Could it be that she is a Dixie? This is impossible. In the first few nightmares, no matter how our identities changed, we saw each other as each other. This is unmistakable. However, who is this strange woman?
However, the expression on her face seemed to be that she was not sure she knew me, but was trying to identify me. After a while, she came back to her senses, stretched out her hand to me, and said with a smile:"We are from the same club, have you forgotten? I didn't expect it, but how could it be you?""
"Well, it looks like I disappointed you."I shrugged, shook hands with her symbolically, and laughed at myself.
"No, it’s just that I didn’t expect that it would be you waiting for me. How could I be disappointed? By the way, no wonder you can't recognize me. The woman was stunned, then raised her brown leather bag to her shoulder and said,"I dyed my hair temporarily. It used to be this color. Do you remember it?""
When she mentioned it like this, some pictures flashed through my mind. The stone steps on the mountain before dawn. The rose-colored warm light shone on the ancient building behind me. The man in front of me was drinking and discussing his own views on time. understanding. Yes, I should remember her, but it is not the real me who has the memories, but the skin I am wearing, this man in the dress.
"Although I am a stranger, I am glad that you are the one accompanying me. You are new here and rarely participate in activities. You and I have only met a few times, but we talk to each other more than anyone else."The woman motioned me not to stand in the rain, and followed her back to the cabin. She took out her handkerchief to wipe the water droplets for me, and talked endlessly about our chance encounter. But I didn't really listen, and I saw a handkerchief inserted sideways in her purse. I picked up this fashion magazine casually. When I unfolded it, I noticed the year in the upper left corner, which read March 1974.
Seeing me flipping through the pages, the woman stood aside with interest. The magazine published a piece of news, Britain and China. Diplomatic relations were upgraded to ambassadorial level. It seems that the era has finally been determined. How long! I was not born at that time. The people around me may be in their seventies or eighties now, but she in front of me is still alive whether she is still alive. question
"I almost forgot the most important thing."Suddenly she seemed to remember something, and she dug hard into her purse. Soon after, she held up two envelopes, handed one of them to me, and said,"Without an invitation letter, you and I can't go to Wulongya Island. Where can I get the invitation from? Have to be sent back somewhere. I came out to find you, I just want to give you this"
"Well, luckily you recognized me in time."I took the envelope, put it in my arms, turned around and walked to the bar, intending to get a glass of fruit wine, sit down and read carefully to learn about the trivial matters before I was born, so as to pass the rest of the time.
"No, wait a minute, don’t wander around." Seeing this, the woman hurriedly stopped her, invited me to follow her to the other side of the cabin, and said in a low tone:"You'd better remember your number, so as not to be asked when you land. rise. Moreover, we have to stagger for a while so that the owner does not attract attention. These two invitations were actually stolen by me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman pointed to a couple leaning in front of the bar in the distance, which was the owner she mentioned. I couldn't help but wonder, since I am on this cruise ship, how could I act like a stowaway? Could it be that she and I are going to start playing spy games again and go to that island in the horizon to plot some shady deeds? Why do I keep being a thief in nightmares when I look so handsome?
However, the so-called owner is very familiar to me, especially She's that courtesan-like lady, I always feel like I've seen her before
"Take care of yourself and stay awayAct involving me."I pushed her hand away and walked straight towards the couple. The strange woman shouted angrily behind her several times, and finally had no choice but to walk away angrily.
Along the way, I quietly opened the envelope and saw the words on the invitation: The six-digit number, 842394, looks so familiar? I clearly remember that it was the number Krys posted on the message board, left by an insider! At first we thought it was the latitude and longitude, and when we drew it with a ruler, it was Maine; then we thought it was Maine; I thought it was a phone number, but it turned out there was no area code; I finally wondered if it was a locker or a house number, but it turned out to be a wild guess. The number in front of me was only missing the last digit. If nothing else, the woman who contacted me had The card must have said 842393! Could it be that?
Seeing that the doubts were gathering, I quickly came to the man and woman, raised my wine glass to the lady, and nodded with a smile.
"You have so many fans, even in foreign countries, you have admirers."The bald man pushed her and said to me with a bright smile:"I didn't expect that we would be recognized so low-key. Your accent sounds French, right? I like France very much."
Then, this man started chatting. He thought I was the kind of person who gets to know people when I meet them, but it turned out that he was more knowledgeable than me. After a few glasses of wine, we had reached the point where we were on the same page. From the bald man He was probably telling such a poignant story. The gorgeous lady in front of him was once a very popular movie star in the 1930s and 1940s. It is impossible for a person like him, who only has a lot of money, to live with his dream. Lovers come together. But this man is very perseverant. He chose to wait for a long time, and finally moved her, and the two of them came together. Although his words were spitting and breathtaking, I couldn't help but feel a shiver in my heart!
The middle-aged and elderly couple in front of me turned out to be Lao Ai’s parents! Oh my god, this world is too small. Even if the nightmare happened in Europe, I would still be tied to the Nutstone Hotel! No wonder I feel familiar. , the side profile photo of the woman in front of me was hanging on the wall of the boss room, and underneath were the words"I will always miss you, my loving mother" affectionately written by the fat man! The stolen invitation originally belonged to any one of them. When we actually arrived at Wulongya Island, we were destined not to land ashore and would go back with the ship. Then the new owners of the envelope were me and the strange woman who replaced them. Based on this calculation, the names mentioned on the message board must not be there. Refers to the former owner of the fruit core, the noble lady who just passed away in the 1990s. So there is only one left, and that is her!
However, there is the most difficult to explain confusion here, the year is wrong! 0514 Guest Disappearance occurred Two years ago in 1972, it stands to reason that the so-called Lien Foster had already acted as a pursuer to live in the fantasy world at that time. How could he be with me on the cruise ship? Could it be that
I, Krys and Fan Pang, Have you been misled by the old newspapers? In fact, that person is not her at all? But then, who is the key to the inquisition soaked under the waterfall? I feel that the nightmare I fell into this time is different from the previous ones. Before and after, I They all have memories, and they obviously want to help me sort them out.Wonderful, go and uncover the dusty doubts!
With a cheer, people in the bar were attracted and swarmed to the deck to watch. I was in no mood, so I avoided the crowd and walked back. I saw a strange woman lying on the back of the boat, blowing in the wind and sulking. How should I test her? It’s hard to say the words that are too straightforward, and I don’t know what to do when I set foot on Wulongya Island. When she was hesitating, she looked back and saw me, and couldn't help but wave her hand.
"I just felt like I knew that woman."After thinking for a long time, I choked out a sentence and reached into my pocket.
"No one would recognize this face, but Xiying has passed away. That's how they are, they don't pay attention to anything when they are in glory, and they rush to find a man to marry when they are old and yellow, so why bother. She was still looking at the waves and said to herself:"I thought about it later and I can't blame you. Men, when they see the porn stars of that year, they can't help themselves." I'm not as bold as you. After all, I broke into their room secretly and I don't know if anyone found out. I always feel a little embarrassed."
My fingers twisted and twisted to take out the cigarette case from the inner pocket. I couldn't help but be startled. Then I opened the lid of the box and took out a long and narrow metal lighter. I couldn't help but be shocked again. Seeing my silence, the strange woman couldn't help but stop complaining and became curious. looking at me
"The lighter is out of gas? She took out the match and handed it over, smiling:"That's why I still like the simple lifestyle.""
"No, no, Camellia Lighter, Blue Gaul. Is it me? Seeing that there happened to be a toilet behind her, I tried my best to suppress my heart from beating wildly, hurriedly pushed her aside and rushed in, stammering in response:"You have an urgent need to urinate, please wait!""
"This can't be true. There is no such coincidence in the world! I can't be that unlucky, God, I'm going crazy!"
When a wet face appeared on the mottled mirror, I felt like the world was spinning, and all my energy seemed to be sucked away by an invisible vacuum cleaner. I sat down on the ground limply. I couldn't believe what I saw with my own eyes!
It was reflected in the mist. The guy hanging on the glass is the person I hate and miss the most in my life, Madeleine. Francois! My father who deserves to be cut to pieces! The ruthless bastard who killed his wife and abandoned his biological son!
"Do you know how long I have been looking for you? Seven whole years! During those countless days and nights, have you ever thought that you were someone's husband or father? I am not a kitten or puppy, but a living person! Why do you have to be so decisive in what you do? What was my life like? He was kicked out of the house one after another. From being timid and cowardly to daring to draw a knife and stab someone at the station, he was sent to a juvenile camp for discipline many times. He kept climbing over the wall to escape, and had his hair pulled and beaten like a wild dog! Even the only way to come to the United States is through Puerto Rican stowaway boats! Are you not ashamed at all? How can you treat your wife and children like this?"When these curses that had been held in my heart for many years really came to my throat, I began to stutter. It seemed that I couldn't remember them all at once. I could only howl from a few throats and cry in my arms!
Suddenly, I remembered My mother was unusual in the week before she died. She stared at me silently for a long time, her mouth twitched, and tears flowed uncontrollably. I was heartless and unwilling to pay attention to her whispers. In fact, I heard her clearly. It was saying: What a pitiful child, what would it be like if he had not been born? He is destined to be in trouble, but I am unable to protect him.
In fact, at that time, she already knew that Madeleine would not come home again. As for the black light, Sobbing at the bedside was not because she missed him, but because she was worried about the great changes that were about to happen to me. Under this torture, she was swallowed up by fear and reached the end of her life!
This nightmare happened in March 1974. If today is earlier than the 16th, then he has not yet gotten involved with my mother. Naturally, I am not a person, so it is reasonable for Madeleine to be out there. However, this extremely real nightmare is revealing a reality. I His father was once involved in the scandal at the Fruit Core Hotel. So, his identity cannot be a civil engineer, but a thief who is inextricably linked to the dark world, the meta-world and the ultra-dark world.
