Dreams are the continuation of reality, and reality is the end of dreams.

"Shhhh

Suddenly sat up from the bed, and Xia Ran, who reached out to cover his left eye, gasped hard.

"It hurts, it hurts...... Hiss...... Hiss ......"

The voices are trembling and deformed, and listening to them makes people's hearts tremble. He almost couldn't help but feel like he was going crazy, and while he was desperately gasping for air, he made this suppressed and dull sound.

Because it really hurts, it hurts beyond imagination.

The first stab in the abdomen was secondary, and the one that directly slashed through the entire left eye was the real inhuman pain, and when it reached the brain, his reason almost collapsed directly.

Such pain, such tragedy, of course, it is impossible to say that it is easy to accept.

If it weren't for the fact that he had realized it before, and he exchanged his injuries for his life like crazy, it would probably be difficult for him to ignore his injuries and stab that murderer to death.

As for what the whole process was like, Xia Ran couldn't retell it at all, after all, his brain was blank at that time, and his body was controlled by instinct to act.

The intense pain, the frantic determination, made him have no time to think about anything else, but the mechanical movement repeated the rapid, violent, wild and tyrannical acts, only knowing that the snatched blade stabbed into the body that was suppressed by him like a storm.

The fatal pain not only stimulated his nerves and made him unbearable, and he wanted to pass out immediately, but it also seemed to completely stimulate a certain violence in his heart, he really risked his life at that time, and he must let the other party go to hell.

Even if it was a dream - he had had enough of it!

Facts have proved that the horizontal is afraid of the ruthless, the ruthless is afraid of the crazy, and the crazy are afraid of dying. Although Xia Ran didn't have much experience in life and death struggle at all, his advantage at that time was that he was out of the way, and he was even more afraid of death than the other party.

And although his physical strength is not left, the other party is obviously not very good, after all, in the matter of chasing and escaping, it is not one person who is running, but both sides have to consume energy.

In addition, the other party had already killed a person before, and the victim was not obediently waiting to be killed, so the frantic struggle to resist before dying naturally consumed most of the madman's energy.

Because even if you kill a chicken, the chicken can't be slaughtered quietly, and if you're not careful, you may not be able to catch it, let alone a big living person? - Maybe the murderer was ready to kill with one blow at the right time, but the timing of Xia Ran's break-in into the scene was too good before.

Something went wrong, and it took him a lot of effort to deal with the woman...... Perhaps it is the combination of these reasons that ultimately determines the outcome.

And in Xia Ran's world at that time, there was basically only a very vivid red patch left...... It was hot blood, the blood of the other party, the blood of one's own.

This was the only feeling he could clearly feel at that time, and other than that, there was only the vague feeling that the body that had been suppressed by himself was slowly turning into a corpse under his crazy continuous stabbing.

In the process of blood splashing, the murderer also struggled frantically at the beginning, and then quickly lost his physical strength and life, and gradually no longer had any vomiting blood, screaming or struggling movements.

It's just that Xia Ran didn't stop because of this at that time, until he himself lost consciousness......

- And then, that's what it looks like now.

"Luckily, it's just a dream......"

opened his mouth as if the drowning victim had been rescued ashore, gasping for breath, and finally slowly calmed down, Xia Ran, who realized that he was now in reality, still touched his left eye with palpitations.

Then he touched his abdomen again.

Of course, everything was intact, no blood, no injuries, except for the inhuman pain that stimulated the nerves of the brain...... But the same is rapidly fading, becoming illusory and unreal.

It seems to be a frightening remnant of a dream, no matter how clear it is expressed and how real it is, it is always only the content of the dream.

When he wakes up now and returns to the dimension called "reality", it will all be quickly forgotten.

It's just that......

Xia Ran understood that he could never deny the tragic feeling just now because of this, because it was really a pain that he wished to pass out completely and die immediately.

Finding that the pajamas on his body were already soaked with cold sweat, he let out a long sigh again, and then glanced at the tightly covered curtains, although he couldn't see the night outside, but it should still be dark, right?

Moreover, the fluorescent hour hand of the alarm clock on the desk is pointing to the number "5", which clearly shows the time:

5:50 min......

Around.

It was already close to six o'clock in the morning.

It's probably such a time, after all, it's not a more intuitive digital clock, but an old-fashioned analog dial analog dial hand clock, so for a while, Xia Ran can only see an approximate time.

Because he was already a little short-sighted, although it was not to the level of "hermaphrodites 30 meters away, and people and dogs 50 meters away", it always had some impact.

And I don't know if it's psychological, he always feels that his left eye still has a hot pain.

After sitting on the bed and closing his eyes, he took several deep breaths before he got up and got out of bed and put on his slippers, and then went straight to the bathroom, took a clean shower, and then changed his clothes.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply began to prepare to cook himself breakfast.

One of the very strange things is that he had just encountered such a thrilling and terrible situation, but now he has calmed down extremely quickly, as if he has become accustomed to it.

It's as if it's just a game, no matter how intense and engaged the process is, the end is the end.

……

……

Ten minutes later.

Standing in front of the washing machine and setting the program, Xia Ran listened to some dull sounds reverberating slightly in the room, creating a strange sense of depth.

It's like the atmosphere of a horror movie, and in a big house, it's empty, and he lives alone, which is really easy to make people think like this......

It's just that the current Xia Ran is not in the mood to think about this at all, a very simple truth, a person who has just gone through a thrilling life-and-death battle, there is no reason to expect his mood to be able to get rid of it immediately.

Even if it was just a dream, it was a dream that was crystal clear, as real as it was!

For example, now, in addition to not having the pain of injury, Xia Ran can still recall other feelings very clearly, including the pungent smell of the haze and the hot blood......

As with other dreams in the past, the reality didn't feel like something fake at all.

That's right, as I said before, Xia Ran is not unfamiliar with that situation at all, but is already very familiar with it, and it can even be said that he is proficient, because it is not the first time he has experienced a similar situation.

At a very young age, he was frightened and had a serious illness - although he did not realize it himself, and he could not remember, but he heard it from his elders.

Anyway, this has led to him since he was a child, he has always had a bad foundation, he is often prone to illness, fever and cold are the norm, and he always has some whimsical and bizarre dreams.

This situation has continued until now, and not only has it not improved, but it has ...... How so? In a sense, it should have deteriorated?

Not long ago, the so-called illness came like a mountain, so that he had to take a break from school for nearly a year, which was already weak.

During this period, it seems that the boundary between dream and reality has been broken, and in the ocean of his spiritual consciousness and imagination, a "torn" false world is intertwined......

He had dreams about war, and the whole world was covered in explosions, flames, and chaos, and then it seemed like a bomb exploded around him, and then he woke up before he could even feel the pain......

He had dreams of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the sky was dark, the clouds of dust were condensed, thunder and lightning flashed from time to time, high-rise buildings were toppled into ruins, and ruined cities were in ruins......

He dreamed of a cyberpunk futuristic world, where the city's buildings were made entirely of unknown materials, overhead magnetic tracks connected the city, hovercars flying through the ground, and a large number of spaceships weaving through the air......

——In the two time and space of reality and dream, Xia Ran was almost schizophrenic before adapting.

Night is the day of dreaming, and light is the darkness of dreaming.

Compared with the world that is only built according to the accumulation of "common sense", no matter how it cannot be free from the shackles of physical laws, dreams are truly bizarre, fantastical, weird, full of unknowns and impossibilities.

At first, he thought he had only mastered the key to lucid dreaming, but later he realized that the situation seemed to be subtly different.

Of course, it must have been a dream, he insisted. Because he found that he either didn't dream, but if he did, the scene he dreamed about basically matched some of the information he had received not long ago.

To put it simply, it may be that he read a novel, watched a movie, or even read a historical description in a book, so he couldn't help but think about something more...... It is precisely because of receiving this information that those bizarre dreams will appear later.

This is an important basis for Xia Ran's judgment, thinking about it day and dreaming at night.

And no matter how clear and real the feelings in the dream were, they disappeared after waking up, as if he had just been injured, and he didn't see it continue into reality after waking up.

It can be said that it seems that nothing is left but memories.

The only thing that has a direct impact on reality is that he feels more and more weakened in the midst of repeated torture, death and resurrection, as if his vitality is really being lost......

Of course, there are two sides to everything, and it is right that there are good and bad.

Not knowing what was going on with his illness, the explanation he found seemed to be somewhat plausible, and there seemed to be no hope of a cure, so Xia Ran could only work hard to adapt, accept, and explore......

And then—

He found that this can actually be seen as a kind of golden finger?
