Chapter 158 Denial
As expected, the situation of the other four people was not much better. Circles of dream shadows completely surrounded the four people, making it impossible to see what was happening to the people inside.
The brothers all got out of the car and hid behind Qi Rong and Yuan Lai, staring nervously ahead. Xiao He whispered, "Are they okay? Why didn't I hear Second Brother's voice? Maybe they fainted from shock?" Hao Hao echoed, "That's possible!" However, his younger brother said optimistically, "With Third Brother and Tong Brother here, we'll be fine."
Qi Rong took out his jade ring and cautiously approached the strange dream shadow. The others followed closely behind him, moving forward step by step, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.
The dream shadow was absorbed by the jade ring and actually let out a faint scream. Yuan Lai's ears were so painful from the scream that she immediately covered her ears with her hands.
Qi Rong frowned and sped up his absorption of the dream shadow. The encirclement gradually narrowed, revealing four people inside who were already in a trance.
Unexpectedly, the child was squatting at the innermost part of the circle.
The others ran over and helped the four people up, asking what happened, "How are you? Are you not scared to death?"
The second brother let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I almost lost my life!"
The little boy didn't seem to be affected at all. He smiled and said, "I'm fine. My second and third brothers and Yuan'er surrounded me so quickly that I didn't even see what was happening."
Yuan'er still covered her eyes, and her other hand was groping around. When she touched Xiao He's clothes, she let go of her hand and bravely opened her eyes to look around.
"This is the fastest I've ever run in my life, bar none. If there were a post-production, they would definitely be able to see my afterimage."
He remained silent while working on the farm, his eyes fixed on the back of his hands, as if he could see flowers on them.
"Gengyun, say something! Stop staring at the back of your hand. What's so interesting about that?" The second brother anxiously stepped forward and looked at Gengyun with concern. However, when his eyes fell on the back of Gengyun's hand, he couldn't help but gasp. There was a deep tooth mark on the back of Gengyun's hand, and blood was slowly seeping out.
"Who bit me?" the second brother asked in surprise, his face full of worry and confusion.
Gengyun finally raised his head slowly, shook his hands gently, looked at his second brother helplessly, and said, "Who else could it be but you? You suddenly jumped on my feet, and I didn't say anything. Did you chew my hand like a pig's hoof?" After saying that, Gengyun couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Hearing this, the others gathered around and looked at Gengyun's left hand curiously.
"Brother Lu, you and Yuan'er each grabbed one side of my pants tightly. Look, the belt is broken." The little boy was not willing to be outdone. He pulled out the broken belt and showed it to everyone, causing laughter.
"Hahaha, you two are so destructive, hahaha."
Shaoxi and his brother covered their faces, "Don't say you two are from Room 1 anymore. You can't afford to lose face!"
"It's okay, little boy. Our company will use public funds to buy you a new belt. It has to be sturdy and durable!"
Haohao's suggestion really aroused Shaoxi's envy, "Brother, I also need a belt, why don't the company buy one for me too!"
"Okay, no problem. I'll give you two on YiBo and XiaoHe's birthdays. No money required."
"Ah!" Shaoxi wailed, "It's not fair, it's not fair..."
At this time, Dundun came over, patted Shaoxi on the shoulder and said, "Don't shout, the company is in its early stages, so save as much as you can!"
"That's right, Shaoxi, just be content!" said the younger brother with a smile.
"Hmph, you just know how to bully me!" Shaoxi turned his head away pretending to be angry, but was attracted by another scene.
Seeing that Qi Rong hadn't taken back the jade ring, Yuan Lai stepped forward and stood directly between Qi Rong and Xiao Fei. "What is this? A mutated dream shadow?"
Right in front of Qi Rong, a distorted dream figure was struggling desperately, and it looked exactly like the one in Yuan Lai's dream.
"The uncanny valley has struck!" Shaoxi took a few steps back and hid behind his brothers.
Qi Rong, listening to the fish monologue gradually appearing on the horizon, said affirmatively, "Wait a little longer, it will be fine when the sun comes out."
Yuan Lai, Xiao Fei and ten brothers sat together on the long stone at the door, waiting to see what this final dream would turn out to be.
Haohao sat next to Yuan Lai, holding his phone. "Why can I take a picture of him? Isn't this a ghost?"
Yuan Lai's eyes were fixed on the distorted, hideous face on Haohao's phone screen. A sense of familiarity washed over her. She frowned, trying to recall if she had ever seen such an expression or a similar scene before. Countless images flashed through her mind, but she couldn't pinpoint the specific source of the memory.
A forgotten dream will surely never be remembered again.
"Brother Hao, this isn't a ghost, it's a dream shadow. It's the things you forgot in your dreams that have accumulated over the years to form this thing. I can't explain it in detail, so let Qi Rong explain it to you in detail."
Haohao left disappointed, and Shaoxi sat down next to Yuan Lai. "Hey, sister, am I right to call you that? I've been thinking about it over and over again, and my performance at the back gate was pretty good. Please don't tell Boss Qi about me!"
Yuan Lai turned around and pointed at himself, "Am I that kind of person?"
"You were so naughty at the back gate, it's hard to explain." Shaoxi mumbled a lot, but Yuan Lai didn't hear a word.
"What did you say?"
"No, no, no," Shaoxi lowered his voice, as if afraid that others would hear him. However, he didn't know that his younger brother and Xiao He had already put their heads close to him, listening attentively with their ears perked up.
"If you can transform from a cat into a human, then can Red Envelope, Little Wolf, Zhuangzhuang, and Xiaobai also transform into humans? Then can you please communicate with the egrets in my pond? We're all brothers, so don't leave me to my own devices."
Yuan Lai sighed. They were determined to treat her like a monster! She wanted to, too! But she was really just an ordinary person, with no superpowers, no magic, and no animal language. Oh, she had that last one when she was a cat, but it was gone now.
"Brother Xi, the only answer I can give you is that having a rich imagination is a good thing, really."
"What the hell," Shao Xi was extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Lai's answer. "If you're not a monster, how can you see these strange things? How did you appear at the back gate for no reason? And now you're following us. Denial won't solve the problem. I saw at the time that you were no ordinary creature. How could a cat be as smart as you? Hey, can you tell fortunes? Tell me where I can get rich in the future."
Yuan Lai looked up at the sky, silently praying that by the time he reached his senior year, he wouldn't be driven crazy by his thesis like Shaoxi. Shaoxi had already shown some signs of success while working in the fields, and now, he was even more impressive.
