Restricted Doomsday Syndrome Chapter 10: Black Dream

The danger has not gone away. I don't intend to sleep deeply, but the dual fatigue of the body and spirit has overwhelmingly defeated vigilance. I fell into the abyss of perception, my body seemed to be an endless sea, and my soul was wrapped in the cold water, pushing and rushing towards a certain shore.

　　 I fell asleep——

　　 I knew I was asleep, which is a very strange thing.

　　 No matter how hard you try to wake up, you can’t do it. The fallen soul can’t help it. It’s like a bug embedded in amber. It can’t speak or move. The only thing that can be controlled is thinking, and thinking is being Corroded by fear from a deeper nature.

　　 This is a dream, but it's not like a dream.

　　 I seem to hear a voice:

　　The real name of...... West...

Who is 　　? Calling me?

　　 I opened my eyes vigorously, bouncing my waist and sitting up. The curtain of darkness hides in front of my eyes, making me unable to tell whether it is in a dream or reality.

　　 is so quiet, the sound of breathing and heartbeat beating in my ears, I was sweating, and my back was wet and cold. I breathed heavily and sat there quietly, and there was a faint low howl from outside.

　　 When his eyes got used to the darkness, Tomoe woke up for some time. She didn't get up, her opened eyes were as bright as a cat's in the dark shadow, with a strange beauty. Only then did I realize that I was still holding her hand, and the soft touch felt like an electric current penetrated into the palm of my hand. I reflexively earned a bit.

　　 did not break free.

　　 "What time is it?" I asked.

　　 She let go of my hand and fetched the alarm clock next to her. I turned on the flashlight, adjusted the light to the weakest, and moved up. The light diffused on the glass surface of the alarm clock, and we seemed to shrink in a faint cocoon of light, feeling at ease.

　　 It's just one o'clock in the morning. It seemed that it took a long time, but in fact I slept for less than four hours.

　　 I rubbed my face and put my fingers in my hair to straighten it out, finally awakening my ignorant head. I wanted Fu Jiang to continue to sleep, but she had already sat up, and she didn't seem to be drowsy anymore. I felt that I had a nightmare that awakened her, and I felt a little ashamed.

　　 She just shook her head.

　　 "A terrible nightmare?"

　　 "...probably."

　　 I still remember the dream and the calling in the dream, but I don’t know what it is. Only darkness, imprisonment, and erosion accompany me in my dream, just like being trapped on a execution stand in hell. Is this dream meaningful? If the answer is yes, that would be too bad.

　　 In the same environment, Fu Jiang’s mood seemed much more stable than mine. When I asked her if she had a dream, she said she did. So out of worry, I offered to exchange dream content, but she refused.

　　 In the faint light of the flashlight, Tomoe squeezed his chin and laughed to himself, a little creepy.

　　 In that case, I didn’t force it. I also made a few speculations about why I had such a dream. In addition to the orthodox theory of dream analysis, there are also reasons closer to fantasy, involving hell, doomsday, and greystone.

　　 Maybe we who eat the greystone are mutating, who knows?

　　 There was a sudden violent sound of rubbing and breaking of branches and leaves in the courtyard. It sounded like a heavy object broke the treetops. It was so obtrusive that we all knew for the first time that something had happened.

　　 As expected. We are not naive enough to think that we can spend the night in peace.

　　 I turned off the flashlight for the first time, looked at Fu Jiang, and came to the window with tacitly relaxed hands and feet. Fu Jiang carefully opened the corner of the curtain, and my heart thumped.

　　The objects in the courtyard are silhouetted in the night shadow, and the one near the left does not match the impression. The wind was not strong, but a tree near the wall shook like a drunkard, and the carefully cut treetop seemed to have been gnawed by a dog and became a bit hideous.

　　 Something came in. I saw the same answer in Fu Jiang's eyes.

　　 Except for the first sound, it made no other sounds, as secretive as a fairy in the dark.

　　 This is a monster accustomed to hunting in the dark. Even without wisdom, its latent instinct is more cunning than the ghost dog.

　　 Fujiang put down the curtains and we sat back to our original positions.

　　 I rechecked the arrows and bullets, put the pistol away, and picked up the crossbow. Fu Jiang's fingers rubbed the axe blade, and the sharp touch seemed to run along his arm straight to his eyes.

　　 There was a crash above our heads, and we immediately lowered our breaths.

　　 judged by the sound to be on the fourth floor, it touched the warning trap we set up in the corridor. The empty can that was involved made a dull and hollow sound, and there were some knocking sounds of objects pushing away, but no sound of its footsteps was heard.

　　 Fu Jiang and I didn't see what it looked like at all, but the hollow sound resounding in the corridors and stairways seemed to be a chain, confirming its approach. With one sound, two sounds, we walked across the corridor, climbed down the stairs, and crossed the obstacles we set with ease.

　　 stopped and walked around again. Like a lion wandering on the grassland, squinting for food. Did it find us?

　　When I get used to the darkness, the night shadow is no longer enough to block my sight, just like a hazy veil.

　　 Fu Jiang and I looked at each other and found that she was also a little nervous, her knuckles were tightly clasped to the handle of the axe, and then slightly loosened, and so on.

　　 Fu Jiang suddenly walked towards the door, and I quickly grabbed her. She looked back at me, her fighting spirit and murderous eyes seemed to say:

　　 go out and kill it!

　　 Why? I also used my eyes to express my doubts~IndoMTL.com~We don't need to provoke it, as long as it is hidden in the room, it may not be found. Even if it is found, it can rely on geographical advantages to win.

　　 I dare not speak out, for fear of being noticed by it. It can move sensitively in the dark, its senses must be very keen, and it looks like it jumped in from the outside, and its motor function is very good. The ghost dog can use the wall to jump around and even climb to the ceiling. Now this monster who doesn't know what it is must do better.

　　 There are obstacles in the corridor, which is a disadvantage for us who can only run on the ground.

　　The strategy at the time was to stick to this stronghold.

　　 go out to meet the enemy? Are you kidding me? I squirmed my lips and told her silently that the odds of winning outside were lower.

　　Fujie tilted her head to stare at me, expressionless, unable to see what she was thinking, the flashing things in her eyes made me feel uneasy.

　　 She grinned, not a mockery, but a stronger and more stubborn impulse.

　　 "I'll kill it, you stay here." She leaned close to my ear and said softly.

　　 The will in his tone is very firm.

　　 "Don't do stupid things!" Despite saying that, I know I can't stop her.

　　 "I have to go, otherwise there will be big troubles later."

　　 "How do you know?"

　　 "Intuition."

　　Intuition! ? I looked at her incredulously, speechless.

　　 Fu Jiang gently opened the door, and the glow of light splashed on her vigorous figure like running water. I don't want to go out at all, but I can't let her face the terrifying monster alone. When she closed the door, I walked up and held the door.

　　, meeting Fu Jiang's inquiring gaze, I said, let's go together.
