Chapter 221 189. The Bridge of Dreams (please order the full version)
"...I have already said that your decision is not reliable."

Noticing Li Dang's gaze, Shan Shi raised his eyebrows, raised the pistol in his hand, pointed it at everyone present, and then took a step back.

"Whether you want to continue killing or not doesn't matter, but I have a proposal."

"This woman said that activating the time machine can take us back to the beginning of time. I was still outside and entered the underground later. In other words, the time when the door's spell was activated was when the time and space were reversed. After the earliest possible time point.”

"Do you understand what I'm saying? Re-flip time and space and escape from here before everything starts. This is the best way."

"...In that case, where is Rinlu?!"

Liuli yelled hysterically at these words.

"Rinlu will come back to life again and will be trapped here again! Me too! I will never do this, even if you all die here, I won't do this! You want me to continue to watch my fellow sisters suffer in thousands Ten thousand times, I can’t do it anymore!”

In response to Liuli's roar, Shanshi responded coldly.

"Do you have the right to choose? The next time you wake up, if the time is not at that moment, I guarantee that your sister will regret it. It will be more painful than thousands of deaths and make her regret Knowing a sister like you, this kind of technique is necessary."

"Ultimately..." Liuli paused, "Ultimately, you won't have any memory next time! This is just a one-in-a-hundred-thousandth mistake. In so much history, you are all just corpses! "

"I will remember it." Shanshi said categorically, "Believe it or not, I will definitely remember it. Remember that because of your lack of cooperation, I lost the chance to escape... remember this betrayal. And pay it back a hundredfold to your sisters!”

The two were still arguing, but Li Dang became a little drowsy. In a trance, he saw a virtual image, which seemed to be...

ending?

……

[Ignoring Liuli’s pleas, everyone who chose to let time flow again felt that the world began to become dark and distorted. 】

[Another reincarnation, they seemed to remember, but after crawling in the blood for hundreds of thousands of times, their dazed consciousness heard a sobbing sound that seemed to be coming from the water. 】

"...drive me."

"……Please do not leave me."

"……please do not forget me--"

[When I woke up again, everything was exactly the same as at the beginning. The Tsing Yi doll could not speak, and its dark eyes just stared at them sadly. 】

[Why do we retain memories?Perhaps it was their desire and obsession to escape as Shanshi said. There were footsteps outside the north door, and they immediately understood that it was the sound of Shanshi rushing into the corridor to get the magnetic card from the administrative office. 】

"...Don't...why do you want me to wake up again! Liuli, Liuli!"

[Everyone heard Maria's almost crazy voice coming from the reception room, followed by a muffled sound of something hitting the wall. 】

[The ropes on the hands and feet were untied with the weapons in the warehouse, and everyone came to the reception room. Although there was no movement, the feeling of sadness was already pouring out. 】

[Opening the door, they saw Maria who was tightly handcuffed and her head was hit hard on the foot of the sofa. Dark red blood flowed across her desperate and twisted face. 】

……

After coming back to his senses from the illusion, Li Ming found that his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at the rocks in front of him, his eyes filled with inexplicable hatred.

This was the first time he felt sad about what happened to someone else.

"Okay, everyone, please stop doing this." Jiang Wenkan tidied up his clothes that were covered with black mucus, and showed a very friendly smile, "I know, in fact, I am the one who is most suitable for sacrifice. People."

"My goal has been achieved, so I have no regrets in this world... Why do I say it a bit like my last words? We will see you soon."

Jiang Wenkan smiled bitterly, then walked to the reception room, wrapped the black robe around himself, and stood independently in the red magic circle that had mostly been painted.

As if he had predicted the outcome, the resurrection ticket in his hand suddenly burned, turned into ashes, and floated in the air.

As the body wrapped in black robe shook violently, bright red flowers scattered on Jiang Wenkan's chest, and the dark red light on the magic circle under his feet flickered again.

The cold smile on his face seemed to be filled with some expectation, and his eyes flashed with passionate madness. Finally, where those round eyes were looking, was the exhibition hall. south wall.

In the past, Jiang Wenkan's sanity had long since disappeared.

"Ahhh..." What leaked out softly was Mizuno's wandering sigh, "I too...can finally..."

Liuli's puppet broke into two halves with the strange stream of light, and everything soon returned to silence, with only the ticking sound still indicating its presence.

At the same time, everyone also discovered that Jiang Wenkan's heart, which should have stopped moving and turned cold, was still beating weakly.

Tick, tick.

The strange sound like a clock suddenly sped up.

If the door's spell is not completed quickly, everyone will be killed here.

Everyone arranged the magic circle in a hurry but in an orderly manner. After hearing the sound of the front door opening, Shanshi ran out first. After Li Ming complained, he subconsciously held Kurosawa Mika's hand and left together. Yuan Qingyu covered Hoshino Katsura, who was still looking at Jiang Wenkan, and followed him.

There was a bit of light at the top of the stairs, and the fresh wind blew away the stinky heat wave around them. As if to follow that bit of light, they ran as hard as they could.

Li Ming turned around and saw the scene on the blood-stained corridor for the last time——

The forget-me-nots bloomed on the torn white robe, as bright azure as the sea. Finally, the corpses of the women leaning on each other disappeared in front of Li Ming's eyes as he climbed the steps.

"...drive me."

It's a female voice.

It was a voice that was hoarse from crying, tired and frantic.

I don’t know why this voice lingers in everyone’s minds like a distant memory.

"……do not leave Me."

"……Please do not leave me."

"please do not forget me--"

As if escaping from the bottomless darkness, they ran forward desperately.

The exit was part of the facilities of the Institute of Folklore Affiliated to Shangying University that they had seen before. "Hurry up! Go this way!" Shanshi yelled and started running towards the glass door of the exit.

It was autumn dusk outside, and there was an untimely drizzle of rain. Everyone pulled out the glass door and ran panting on the wet ground.

Then, there seemed to be a vibration deep underground.

About half a second later, the muffled explosion reached their eardrums. The pattering rain wet the tops of their heads, and the clouds covered up the golden glory of the West.

……

"The following is a piece of news. After the police intervened in the investigation of the major explosion that occurred at the independent facility of the School of Folklore Affiliated to Shangying University recently, they found nothing in the ruins. There were no bodies, no man-made tools left behind, only some strange machinery. The parts appear to be intact.”

"The president of the B&B Association, Mitsuru Takei, is currently missing. If citizens have any clues or have witnessed a stranger who looks similar but whose identity is unknown, please call the police station at any time. Thank you for your cooperation."

……

It rained harder and harder.

Among the ruins, Jiang Wenkan exhaled a breath of turbid air, his chest rose and fell slowly and heavily, and rainwater flowed down his face.

The sound of rustling footsteps was heard not far away, and the crisp sound of bullet casings falling to the ground became a strange prelude. The man clutched the pistol and walked briskly to Jiang Wenkan's side.

"After-sales service."

As if he sensed the intention, although he was wearing a hood and couldn't see the man's face clearly, his tone was full of smiles.

"Big client Jiang Wenkan...right? So how do you feel about this Baimeng experience?"

"No..." Jiang Wenkan made a weak voice.

"Not bad, right? Thank you very much for your feedback."

The man squatted down, took out two black coupons from the young man's pocket, then took out another one from his pocket and waved it towards the young man.

"First of all, I'm very sorry for the neglect of our subordinates, but I heard about your transaction records from my subordinates. You actually loaned us such a generous amount of Dream Points, which provided us with enough money for our work. help.

To express our gratitude, we have been choosing among some gifts for a long time, and finally exchanged a ticket for you to build a white dream, because I think this is what you need most at the moment, so now I would like to thank you again for your support of our work. support. "

"You..." Jiang Wenkan coughed a few times, but couldn't continue to speak.

"No need to thank us, you deserve this." The man then took out a notebook from his pocket and recorded something on it, "Although you have provided enough help for our work, a loan is a loan, believe me Your subordinate has told you the deadline for your repayment, which is just one month from now. I look forward to your keeping your word."

"So at the end of this service, I sincerely wish you can survive in your white dream."

The man was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something. He took out a coupon from Jiang Wenkan's pocket with great interest.

"Sorry, I forgot. In your current state, you cannot take the initiative to punish the tickets. Let me help you properly and give you a sense of ceremony."

The man raised his head and shook off his hood. What was exposed to the sun was a familiar face. He squinted and held the ticket in the air. Black flames ignited from his fingertips, and everything around him sank into the abyss with it. .

"Then let me, Shanshi Yangxiang, start the second white dream. Well... let me see, the second one is a bridge to dreams."

……

In a daze, the surrounding environment changed again. The few people led by Li Ming had gradually adapted to Bai Meng's switch from being displaced. They stood indifferently and looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyebrows.

"Recently, there have been many sudden deaths in sleep in Tokyo. The deceased were completely unrelated. The official explanation given by the police was that the deceased died of cardiac paralysis during sleep. More experts have called for advocating maintaining a healthy routine and early morning sleep. Go to bed early and get up early to reduce the load on the heart. If you find anything unusual, please go to the local hospital for timely treatment."

Such a sound came from the old TV, and the people sitting next to the TV opened their eyes as if they had just woken up from a dream.

As before, memories came flooding back.

"I said... will the cause of cardiac paralysis really convince the public?" Yuan Qingyu had already entered the state. He looked at the people around him and asked with some curiosity.

"This is just news released to appease the people. There is no need to consider the authenticity. If they felt something strange, they would have made a big fuss long ago." Li Ming stood up and adjusted his clothes, "So this time Is Bai Meng investigating another case?"

Li Ming was asking Jiang Wenkan, the young man who was slumped in the depths of the sofa. He looked a little decadent at the moment, not as crazy and lively as before.

"I don't know."

Jiang Wenkan said softly, as if he still hadn't recovered from the white dream before, he pursed his lips.

"Actually, to be honest, after the white dream just ended... I wanted to stop all this, but the arrow had to be fired. This is the sin I planted, but I still want you to taste the bitter fruit with me... …I really……"

"This is what it means to be blinded by hatred. We will face it with you no matter what." Li Ming hugged his hands and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"I hope I can continue to face it."

Jiang Wenkan said softly in an almost inaudible voice. When he thought of that deadline, his heart was filled with even more sadness.

——But no one noticed anything strange about him.

What is the situation now...

Although everyone, including most police officers, believed that these sudden death cases seemed to have a more secret connection, Metal still chose to handle them as ordinary sudden death cases and transferred most of the police force to track down the serial murderers that appeared nearby. commit.

However, because of the previous high-intensity investigation and the final closure of the case, the senior police officers seemed to have given everyone a holiday and hoped that they could take a break. However, for them, they just didn't have to take special leave to attend appointments.

Going to an appointment?

Yes, they received an invitation from a woman from Zecheng Aki, who asked them to help investigate the case together.

In their memories, Zecheng was a friend they had not seen for many years.

The general content of the letter was that she hoped to help her investigate the cause of her cousin's suicide, and agreed to meet at a coffee shop near Kamei University in Ikebukuro at ten o'clock tomorrow.

As for the multiple disappearances...

Li Dang opened the computer in the police station office unceremoniously and searched on it before leaving——

Zecheng found that many supernatural community channels were talking about a hot topic. That topic was related to a well-known ghost talk radio announcer Ube. Because the announcer looked handsome and had a very nice voice, he had a large fan base. His sudden death It also sparked heated discussions online.
