nightmare exec

With two unfinished cans of beer and full of apprehension and excitement, Song Yin put on her hat and sunglasses again, obediently followed Qi Zhengnan and walked back along Qingyang Street.

Along the way, Qi Zhengnan held his hand tightly all the time, his five fingers squeezed the thin skin on Song Yin's wrist with some force.

Song Yin felt a blood vessel throbbing on the back of his hand, but he couldn't figure out whose heart beat it was.

Passing through the portal at the end of the street, the two soon came to the safe house belonging to Qi Zhengnan.On the green lawn that no longer needs to be trimmed and tidied, those pink four-flowered flowers stand by the French windows, shining a little out of season.

Qi Zhengnan walked ahead as always, ready to open the door of the safe house.However, before taking two steps, Song Yin hugged him from behind, and pressed her cheek against his back.

After a long period of time, the two did not have any communication.But two hearts are close to each other at the shortest distance, which is better than thousands of words.

In the end, Qi Zhengnan patted Song Yinhuan's hand on his waist lightly: "...Don't be afraid. Whether you accept it or not, I will always be with you."

Erhu, who is always used to camping in the living room, was temporarily arranged to go to Song Yin's safe house to be with Ergou.The two went straight up the stairs to the second floor, and stood side by side in front of Song Yin's bedroom door.

It was a door that only Qi Zhengnan could open.

"All my secrets are locked behind this door." Qi Zhengnan whispered to Song Yin, "You are the only one who can share this secret with me. But it is a bit heavy, you are ready ?"

"...Wait a little longer, let me catch my breath."

Song Yin understood that it would be too unpleasant if there were repetitions at this time.But in the face of an important decision that might change his life in the future, he really couldn't be decisive.

"Don't be afraid."

Qi Zhengnan stood behind Song Yin, comforting him again.Then, using her tall and solid body as a pillar, she took his hand and held the round doorknob with him.

Accompanied by the crisp clicking sound of the copper core of the door lock, the door shaft began to rotate.

The off-white door panel was pushed open a thin gap first, and then gradually more silver-blue light came in.

"Is this... the sea?"

Song Yin could hardly believe the scene in front of him—the wooden door was not his bedroom, but a boundless, deep ocean with no sky above and bottomless.

Although the wooden door was completely open, the sea water did not pour out towards the corridor outside the door, and only refracted faint light on the floor and walls of the corridor.

It looks more like a giant piece of blue jelly, an aquarium tank... or just a blue dream.

"This is indeed a sea, or more precisely, a world with only seas."

Qi Zhengnan answered the doubts in Song Yin's eyes: "This wooden door connects countless memory worlds that are independent of each other. Every time you open it, you will face a different scene. Even I can't tell. Which one will it be when?"

As he said that, he took a step forward and walked into the deep sea world like nothing.

"..." The terrible experience of being put into a liquid jar by Sisyphus last time made Song Yin hesitate.

Aware of this, Qi Zhengnan turned around, stretched out one hand towards Song Yin, and stretched out the other as a gesture of greeting.

"Trust me, it's okay. Come to me."

Under the pull of the warm and powerful right hand, Song Yin took a deep breath, lowered his head and plunged into the door.

In the next second, he fell firmly into Qi Zhengnan's arms.

The feeling of entering the ocean... doesn't seem to be much.

There is no pain of suffocation, and no strong water pressure and resistance from overhead.Song Yin could feel everything, but the world in front of him was covered with a layer of mysterious blue.

He can even stand in the seemingly empty sea water, ignoring gravity, buoyancy, and all other natural laws that are accustomed to on earth.

"Let's go." Qi Zhengnan whispered in his ear, "We still have a long way to go."

After that, Qi Zhengnan took Song Yin's hand and descended to the bottom of the ocean along a series of invisible ramps.

There is a winding path paved with soft white gravel.Every grain of sand emits bright or dark dots of blue light.From a distance, the entire seabed looks like an upside-down galaxy, bright and gorgeous.

Song Yin, who was immersed in great shock, couldn't help but hugged Qi Zhengnan's arm tightly.But before he had time to ask, a huge black shadow suddenly flew over his head.

It was a giant sea creature comparable in size to a blue whale.There are countless criss-crossing soft branches all over the body.These coral tree-like branches are colorful, and when they collide with each other, they even make a crisp sound like wind chimes.

Song Yin watched those beautiful creatures go away with a dull expression, and was suddenly dragged by Qi Zhengnan to dodge a few steps to the right.

In the next second, some huge creatures that looked like oarfishes swam over from the dark sea in the distance, and their translucent fins beat beautiful waves, gently brushing against Song Yin's shoulder.

After walking a few more steps, a fish eye bigger than a wheel suddenly approached, and disappeared into the deep sea in a flash.

"What's that sound..."

Song Yin tugged at Qi Zhengnan's sleeve, reminding him to pay attention to the thunderous rumble not far away.

Qi Zhengnan didn't answer, but turned a corner with Song Yin.Wisps of green liquid suddenly floated ahead, accompanied by broken "coral" branches.

It was the two sea beasts they saw just now, fighting fiercely in the deep sea, biting each other's vitals.Blood of different colors and stumps drifted in all directions, which was shocking.

Song Yin's whole body tensed up to the extreme, although everything in front of him was so miraculous, but the uneasiness and vigilance of being in a strange place made him in no mood to observe these wonders.

At this moment, the only thing that could comfort him was Qi Zhengnan's hand.He still held Song Yin's wrist firmly, like a strong safety rope, entrusting all his trust and expectations.

After walking for another two or three minutes, Qi Zhengnan suddenly stopped - in front of him, in the depths of the dark seabed, there was a wooden door.

With the opening of the wooden door, Song Yin was suddenly brought into another magical world.

This time it was the desert.

Golden, boundless, open desert.Huge undulating sand dunes stretched from their feet all the way to the end of the horizon.

However, the sky above the dunes is not a cloudless sky. There is a layer of hexagonal mesh resembling the compound eyes of a fly, and each mesh reflects another desert, as well as another figure of him and Qi Zhengnan. .

Just when Song Yin looked up at the tens of thousands of "self-reflection", the ground under his feet began to shake again - a sandworm bigger than a subway train came from the sand only four or five meters away from him. drilled out.

In the hot air, the hideous, monstrous bug dried its shriveled wings.Hearing a loud "buzz", it soared into the sky, and the membrane wings set off huge waves of dust, which made people unable to open their eyes.

The sandworm flew higher and higher, and finally reached one of the countless hexagonal structures in the sky.I saw it stabbing upwards with its powerful mouthparts, and the reflection of the desert immediately flowed down like honey and landed on the ground.

"Don't worry." Qi Zhengnan gently squeezed Song Yin's shoulders.

"Don't forget, this is also part of my safe house. They are all my memories, and they can't hurt you."

Song Yin was startled because of his reassurance: "But when did you experience this? Are they all nightmares?"

"No, they all really exist, they just don't belong to the earth."

Qi Zhengnan gave an almost unimaginable answer, "They are other worlds, distant places unknown to human beings."

While speaking, he opened another door on the sand dune.Inside the door this time is a red "jungle", and some "fruits" that look like blood beads hang from the pink flocculent "trees".The ground was still slowly wriggling like a wet lump of meat.

After that, Qi Zhengnan opened several doors one after another, and the world behind the doors became more and more crazy.

Slowly, this kind of madness began to invade Song Yin's consciousness - he felt that these scenes far beyond his cognition hurt his eyeballs, crowded his brain, and oppressed him so that he couldn't breathe.

At this moment, the only thing he wants to do is to escape back to the normal world that belongs to him regardless of everything.Even if he stayed for a second longer, he doubted that he would immediately fall into madness.

Fortunately, as if sympathizing with Song Yin's extreme discomfort, Qi Zhengnan opened the door this time, and there was a friendly blue sky, green grass, flowers and familiar scenery.

No longer needing Qi Zhengnan's guidance, Song Yin almost scrambled and rushed into the door, then her knees gave way, and she slumped on the soft grass, indulging herself in smelling the moist fragrance of the grass.

It took a full half a minute before he regained his composure and spread his attention around.

At this moment, he and Qi Zhengnan were in a small and exquisite garden.There are colorful pansies, lemongrass, mint, rosemary and other herbaceous plants growing on the ground.

At the back of the garden is a small two-story wooden building. Through the bright blue glass windows on the first floor, you can vaguely see the plants placed inside and the butterfly specimens in the mirror frame.

"here it is……"

Song Yin turned her head to look at Qi Zhengnan, her lips trembling slightly in astonishment, "Is it my home back then?"

"No." Qi Zhengnan ruled out the wrong answer for him: "Look carefully, is that really your home?"

How could it not be? !——Song Yin opened his mouth and was about to refute, but he thought about it carefully, and suddenly frowning tightly, he froze.

There was indeed something wrong - the house in front of him was obviously newer, brighter and more beautiful than the small house in his memory.

The home in the resort was constrained by various conditions, but it was actually cobbled together with many discarded materials.

For example, the row of glass specimen bottles hanging under the eaves at the moment-the house in the resort actually has them, but they are just light bulbs and jars tied with twine.

As for the stairs leading to the second floor, here is a light and beautiful black iron staircase, but in the resort, it is a bulky substitute made of bricks and planks.

"Yes...a substitute..." Song Yin muttered to himself, his home in the resort looked like a poor substitute for the cottage in front of him!

But why?

He once again sent his eyes to Qi Zhengnan for help.

And Qi Zhengnan once again gave him an unbelievable answer.

"Xiaoyin, in fact, your parents used to be executive officers. Before they settled in the resort, they worked in purgatory just like you now. This is their safe house. The home you are familiar with, Just a crude imitation of this safehouse."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then threw out another fact: "And I used to be their teammate. My code name at that time was Twilight."

"... Mu Hui? That Mu Hui?!"

Of course Song Yin remembered this legendary figure that Su Tie talked about.But before he had time to digest such a huge amount of information, he remained calm and slow.

"So...you are the original owner of that bottle of wine? That's why you redeemed it from Boss Nightingale?...No...No, no! That's not the point..."

He shuddered, and finally recovered his strength: "But Su Tie clearly mentioned that Mu Hui is dead, and he is still..."

"And still died in the copy of the Stargate."

Qi Zhengnan completed the second half of the sentence for him: "That's right, that dungeon back then did change my fate. But I didn't die, but encountered something more terrifying than death itself."

Speaking of this, he asked Song Yin: "How much do you know about Star Gate?"

"...not much."

Song Yin admits that he is not a person who likes to study.It's just that when I was at the Nightingale Cafe last time, I heard that the star gate is almost a super wormhole that appears in dreams, and can transport all kinds of stowaways into the dream.Therefore, the scale of the Stargate dungeon is much larger than that of the super dungeon.

"Yes, the scale is much larger."

Qi Zhengnan nodded and affirmed this one: "The copy of the Stargate that year was a large-scale epidemic that infected thousands of people in the real world. With the efforts of the human execution force, all patients were concentrated in the East Coast. Several islands. Saving their lives requires not only complicated surgery, but us, the executives, entering their nightmares and getting rid of the stowaways."

After careful calculation, it was already a copy more than 20 years ago.But referring to the unbearable past, Qi Zhengnan still had a negative expression called "pain" on his face.

The author has something to say: Qi Zhengnan: I am Foehn, and I am also Twilight

Song Yin: So you kept the wine yourself? ?

Qi Zhengnan: Can you stop worrying about that broken bottle of wine?Take care of me! ! !

------

Anyone guess the world behind the door?Hehe, it doesn't seem to be there, but it's better to send out all the red envelopes once, just to celebrate that Brother Nan finally said the stone that was in his heart.

I finally wrote the world at the door, and I find it enjoyable, I just like to write this kind of nervous and san-worth crazy scenes.

Cthulhu hair candy! !

Note that the original safe house of Song Yin’s parents does not have a lake blue sofa! !
