What was standing in front of him was really just a "figure".
Just like the mysterious man in black in Conan, he has no facial features, no clothes, and only the outline of a human figure can be seen.
Judging from its slender and graceful curves, this figure seems to be a female.
Her approach made Jinyun feel cold all over.
His throat rolled with difficulty, and he asked a question in a dry voice:
"Who are you?"
Chapter 110 Jingliu? Yunxi? Fighting? (4K)
The black shadow stood there blankly. Although she had no facial features, Jinyun could feel that she was "looking" at him carefully with that eyeless face.
What is going on? Where exactly is this place? Is this my dream, or something else?
Who is she? Why can I feel...
Attachment?
Everything in front of him was far beyond Jinyun's understanding. He took a deep breath and tried to see if he could communicate with the other party.
However, just when he was about to speak, the black shadow in front of him suddenly changed his previous calmness and pounced on him like a hungry beast!
Jinyun's attention had always been focused on the other party. He had long been prepared to quickly escape if the other party made any unusual movement. Therefore, the moment the other party pounced on him, he instinctively dodged to the side, then spread his legs and ran wildly in the opposite direction.
However, not long after he started running, Jinyun felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion. His legs felt as if they were filled with lead, and every step he took seemed extremely strenuous!
He had only run about a hundred meters when he began to feel out of breath. His eyes turned black and white, as if countless small white dots were jumping in his sight. His chest was rising and falling rapidly, and he greedily inhaled air into his lungs, but no matter how he breathed, the feeling of lack of oxygen still lingered.
This place, it seems, is really my dream, right?
When people run in their dreams, the motor control system, that is, the cerebellum, which constrains and controls the body's movements and provides feedback, is blocked by the brainstem. The cerebellum sends signals to tell your legs to move, but because you are sleeping, you should not move, so the brainstem blocks this movement command.
The leg muscles and sensory nerves cannot receive instructions from the cerebellum and naturally will not give corresponding movement feedback.
The combined result of this series of phenomena is that people will feel that they cannot run no matter how hard they try in their dreams.
Jinyun's heart was beating wildly, and even his temples and forehead seemed to beat along with it, making his head dizzy and painful.
Apart from the sound of my own heartbeat, my ears could no longer hear any sound from the outside world. It was as if I were thrown into the sea, with only a drowning buzzing sound between my eardrums.
His physical strength was being exhausted faster than he had imagined. Jinyun knew that he would not be able to escape the opponent's clutches if he continued like this, and he had to find a place to hide.
But this place is empty, there is nothing, where can we hide?
The moment this thought flashed through Jinyun's mind, he suddenly saw an elevator appear out of nowhere not far in front of him!
The elevator looked like the fence elevators used in old residential buildings in Hong Kong, very much in the style of Hong Kong dramas and some horror films of the last century.
Jinyun had no idea how this elevator appeared or where it led to. In a hurry, he had no choice but to rush in.
The moment he rushed into the elevator, he almost pounced on the elevator buttons and slammed the up button with his trembling hands.
Then he looked outside the elevator. As the fence slowly closed, the woman's silhouette stood quietly less than ten meters away from him, as if watching him leave.
The elevator slowly moved upwards, and the roar of the suspension device seemed particularly clear in this dead and gloomy environment.
Jinyun leaned against the corner of the elevator, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
He touched his cheek, his flushed skin was warm like a fever. The fear brought by his previous experiences made it difficult for him to calm down. He covered his violently beating heart and thought about his current situation.
He really couldn't figure out what the identity of that thing was.
Two minutes later, Jinyun, who had gradually calmed down, finally realized that something was wrong.
This elevator has been rising for several minutes and has not stopped yet.
I just got in without thinking much and didn't have time to think about the destination of the elevator.
Where will it take me? Will it take me to a safe place?
While he was thinking, the elevator suddenly slowed down. With a crackling sound of cable friction, the old elevator finally stopped in front of a rolling door.
The fence slowly opened, and Jinyun looked at the rolling door in front of him and felt that it looked very familiar.
I have definitely seen this door somewhere, but I can't remember where it is at the moment.
With nowhere else to go right now, Jinyun's only choice was to follow his intuition.
He clasped his hands under the rolling door, gathered all his strength, and lifted the door. A faint smell of disinfectant immediately entered his nostrils, which lifted his spirits.
Looking around, the scene in front of me was exactly as I imagined. This was Sister Xi's clinic.
This dream is getting more and more bizarre!
Jinyun swallowed his saliva and mustered up the courage to enter the clinic. The incandescent light flickered, and the classic thriller shots and atmosphere from horror movies enveloped this deadly space, making Jinyun nervous every moment.
There was no place for him to hide in the small clinic. Jinyun's eyes fell on the door of the lounge at the back. He had just come into this damn place through that door. Could he go back through it now?
Thinking of this, Jinyun quickly took two steps forward and walked to the door.
However, just as he was about to reach out to open the door, a large amount of ice chips seeped out from the gap in the door.
The ice debris spread out in all directions like vines, and the solidified frost crystals covered the entire door with a thick ice wall centered on the door handle.
Jinyun widened his eyes and stepped back instinctively, at the same time a sharp and biting chill quietly struck him.
He turned around quickly and saw the endless fog outside the clinic door wriggling and churning in the darkness. The pitch-black figure slowly walked out, as if it were a physical entity materialized from the fog.
She approached Jinyun step by step. Her pace was slow, elegant and calm, as if she knew Jinyun had no way to retreat.
Jinyun's mood, which had just calmed down, rose to his throat again. He really couldn't figure out what kind of blood feud he had with this black shadow in the dream that seemed to be chasing him...
The black shadow completely blocked Jinyun's retreat and approached the opponent step by step.
There was less than one meter between the two, and the distance was getting closer.
In the end, the black shadow almost fell on Jinyun.
Jinyun lowered his head, suppressed the fear in his heart, and carefully observed the other party's movements.
This mysterious black shadow did not start killing people on the spot as he had imagined after catching up with him. Instead, it made a rather affectionate gesture.
For example, like reaching out to yourself.
The strange thing was that after her hand touched her skin, it went straight through it like a mirage.
Jinyun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
When the other party's palm passed through his body just now, he clearly felt the extremely cold place where it was passed through.
He thought back to the moment he left the clinic yesterday afternoon. At that moment he felt a chilling feeling as if a soul was entering and exiting his body. It was exactly the same feeling as now.
It's impossible that what I encountered yesterday was the same as what I am experiencing now?
While thinking, Jinyun noticed that the dark shadow in front of him lowered his head, staring blankly at her hand that passed through Jinyun's cheek.
Looking at that expression, Jinyun seemed to be able to feel the shock and disappointment on the other person's face.
But just as he had this thought, the black shadow suddenly hugged his head, as if enduring some unspeakable pain, and almost fell to the ground and rolled over.
Jinyun couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw this scene. Although he didn't understand the situation, this was his only chance to escape from the other party's pursuit!
Thinking of this, he immediately spread his legs and ran out the door.
However, before he could run to the door, a wall of ice suddenly rose up again, blocking his way.
Jinyun braked suddenly and almost hit the ice wall. He slammed the wall helplessly, turned around and glared at the black shadow with a resentful look:
"who are you!?"
"What is your purpose in pestering me?"
"Are you a wandering ghost around here? Do you have some grievance that needs redress, so you came to me in a dream?"
Jinyun didn't care about anything and asked all his guesses.
Compared to his previous panic, he is now much calmer.
Jinyun had a vague sense in his heart that the other party couldn't touch his body, which meant that he couldn't cause any effective harm to him. As long as he knew this, there was no need to be afraid of the other party anymore.
I don't know if the black shadow was stimulated by what I said. She held her head and her body shook violently like a sieve. She looked extremely painful.
However, the next second, she suddenly dropped her hands and pounced towards Jinyun like crazy.
"Stop it!!"
Then, something even weirder happened.
Following Jinyun's roar, the crazy black shadow actually stopped on the spot, as if it was under a spell of immobilization.
Seeing this scene, Jinyun swallowed several times, and the heart that had just been lifted up finally calmed down.
Fortunately it worked.
As expected, since this was his dream, he should be the one to control the things in the dream.
Just like the old-fashioned elevator that appeared out of nowhere just now, I just thought about where to hide one second ago, and the elevator appeared the next second.
There is also Sister Xi's clinic. The reason why there is a clinic after the elevator door opens is because Jinyun wanted to go to a safe place before.
It seems that in his subconscious, Yun Xi's clinic is one of the few places that can give him a sense of security.
Now comes the biggest question. Even if I know that this is a dream, how can I wake up?
While thinking about this question, Jinyun did not forget to pay attention to the movements of the black shadow. She was completely frozen in place, her whole body seemed to be frozen and unable to move at all.
The identity of this black shadow also makes people pay attention. Jinyun remembers that this is not the first time she has appeared in his dreams.
It seems that the last time I dreamed of her, it was outside that digital white wall.
He saw the other party break free from the digital white wall like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
As for that digital white wall... maybe it has something to do with the game?
When I think about it carefully, I have these strange dreams, which all occurred after playing "Sustaining Humanity".
He had searched for the answer online before, and the result was: dreams are an objective reflection of people's subjective consciousness.
What you have experienced in reality and what you desire in your subjective consciousness will be reflected in your subconscious mind in your dreams.
Just like a person plays games for several days in a row or watches several movies in a short period of time, he will dream about related elements afterwards. Jinyun's dream is also a phenomenon based on a similar mechanism.
Whether this phenomenon is good or bad, it is naturally difficult to answer.
“Click, click.”
Suddenly, Jinyun noticed that the black shadow in front of him seemed to be wrong.
Her frozen limbs were trembling slightly, as if she was trying hard to break free from the restraints. Although her whole body was filled with deep darkness, Jinyun seemed to still be able to see her tense muscles and twisted joints.
The soft curves and outstretched limbs were like those of an extremely elegant ballerina. Her trembling body tried hard to resist Jinyun's will, and the silence was almost deafening.
Jinyun clearly felt that he was no longer in control of the dream, and his sense of existence seemed to be taken away bit by bit until the two reached a level where they were completely equal.
"Woo, woo woo..."
The sudden sound of a woman sobbing in his ears made Jinyun's heart tremble.
He felt the shadow in front of him staring at him, and the sobbing sound was as faint as a mosquito, painful, lost, and desperate...
There is also resentment and anger.
Accompanied by her increasingly heavy breathing.
A storm of shock suddenly arose in Jinyun's heart!
This feeling.....
This black shadow, could she be...
Mirror flow?
