My heart was a little numb from the sound of scratching, and I instinctively reached for the backpack behind me with one hand, and touched the phone on the table with the other.

The backpack was gone, but I felt a table in front of me.

But the moment I touched the tabletop, I first stiffened, and then my heart almost didn't pop out of my throat, and the person almost slipped down the chair to the ground.

I felt a hand on the table, a hand with no flesh and skin, only bones!

My remaining drunkenness was completely frightened in an instant, and I retracted my hand like an electric shock and stood up sharply.

Due to the excessive movement, the chair behind him tripped over "clang", and the desktop in front of him was pushed up, and there was an immediate "screech", "click", and "boom...... There are several sounds that cannot be described concretely!

My cranial nerves tensed to the limit, but instinctively I didn't make any other moves. He just squinted his eyes slowly, trying to adjust to the darkness as quickly as possible.

But soon, I realized that it was futile.

Because, no matter how hard I tried, I could only keep my eyes on the position where I raised my hand in front of my eyes near the tip of my nose, so that I could faintly see a silhouette.

My first instinct was to pull myself back, to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

But just as my hand was about to pinch my ass, suddenly, a hand grabbed my wrist violently!

"Holy!"

I was almost frightened out of my mind, instinctively trying to shake this hand off.

Just when I wanted to exert my strength, a hurried voice came from beside me: "Xiaofu! ”

My body shook: "You ......"

"Little Blessing...... It's you...... It's really your ......."

The woman was already crying, and as she whispered, she groped her way up my arm until she touched my face.

I felt a little warm fingertips touch my face in the cold, and my heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Mom!" I blurted out subconsciously.

"Xiaofu!" The woman hugged me.

"Mom......" My nose was sour, but I didn't know how to move.

"Woo woo woo ......" The woman seemed to be terrified, hugged me, and trembled with crying in her throat.

After a while, her body shook obviously, and she felt my hand, held it tightly, and said in a voice that trembled spontaneously but was unusually firm:

"Xiaofu, don't be afraid, there is a mother, don't be afraid."

"Gollum...... I almost used up the remaining strength of my body to swallow my saliva, and at the same time raised my hand to wipe the damp heat from the corners of my eyes.

"Crunch...... Crunch...... Crunch ......"

The terrifying scratching sound only paused for a moment, and then it sounded again.

"Little Blessing...... Don't be afraid......" The woman said as she gritted her teeth as she held my hand tightly.

I could feel her limp, supported by a force of faith.

I reacted quickly, gritted my teeth, held her hand, and took two deep breaths in a row: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Little Blessing ......"

"Don't speak, follow me, I'll get you out of here."

My brain was so confused that I couldn't tell what kind of environment I was in.

But one thing is for sure, whether it's reality or dreams, I've never experienced this kind of atmosphere.

I wanted to close my eyes hard, even if I bit my tongue, and when I woke up in pain, I would open my eyes and find that it was nothing more than a nightmare.

But my intuition tells me that it must be futile......

The sound of scratching in the corners continued, seemingly unaffected by the conversation between the two in the dark.

I took another deep breath and groped my way to the table in front of me, and swept it back and forth on the astringent tabletop twice, pulling the woman's hand into the sweeping position.

"Stand here, hold on to the table, don't speak, don't move." I whispered.

The woman didn't say anything, and in the absolute darkness I couldn't see her, but I could feel her nodding hard.

I rubbed the back of her hand and put her hand on the edge of the table.

In the darkness, I nodded at her, turned around, and walked forward with one hand on the edge of the table.

I didn't take two steps forward before I felt an obstacle under my feet.

A little harder, there was a "bang" sound, and there seemed to be the sound of the cloth tearing.

"Click......"

Taking another step forward, the soles of my feet clicked, and there was a crisp sound under my feet.

"Goodo......"

I swallowed again, gritted my teeth, and continued walking along the edge of the table......

Finally groped for a flesh-and-blood hand again.

My heart hanging in my throat let go a little.

While holding the hand, although he couldn't see it, he still tilted his face to the corner where the scratching sound came from.

"Xiaofu, what the hell is going on?" The woman in my arms finally couldn't help but cry and asked.

I put my arm around her shoulders and tightened: "It's okay, I'm ...... with me"

Before the words fell, the scratching of the door in the corner stopped abruptly.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

Before he could react, he heard a sharp cry of a baby suddenly come from that corner......

"Wow......"

"Hey, hey, hey...... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......"

At the same time, not far behind me, there was a burst of laughter that looked like that of a child, but it was more like the strange clamor of a night owl.

"Little Blessing ......"

"I said I don't have to be afraid." I wiped the cold sweat from my head, gritted my teeth to keep the trembling of my body from intensifying in the darkness, "I know what you want to say, I know ......"

I'm a little incoherent.

The fact is that in a strange environment, where mother and son get along alone, I have too many things to say that I can't and dare not say in reality.

But in this situation, all I have to do is to do my best to control my will and go in the direction I originally determined. Rather than being swayed by side factors.

Absolute darkness......

Nightmares that can't seem to wake up......

Everything is so real.

If I stay in the dark, I don't know what will happen next.

So, what I'm going to do......

"Let's go!"

I let out a low growl in my throat, took the woman tightly in my arms, and strode in the direction where the baby's cry came from.

As the two moved forward, the crying stopped.

I subconsciously stopped, and I didn't care about feeling the situation around me, so I resolutely reached out and touched the front of me.

I breathed a sigh of relief at the coldness of the metal at the touch of my fingertips.

Instead of rushing to turn the doorknob I was holding, I turned my face and 'looked' at what was close at hand without seeing the slightest sign of it...... Mother.

"Mom, my son has grown up. I...... I will live well. ”

However, the woman who had been close to me at this moment slowly moved away and let go of my hand.

Although I knew the weirdness of the situation, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss.

"Mom......"

In the darkness, there was no more response.

I nodded subconsciously, nodded vigorously, raised my hand to wipe my eyes, and turned the doorknob with a force with my left hand......
