C229 (1/2)
Chapter 229 - amnesia
With the mindset of not disturbing others, I left right after my injuries recovered.
Because... I didn't know where my home was, and I didn't know where I was supposed to go, so I took a random job.
After all — I'm alone, and I want to live my life first.
It was pitch black all around, the branches were dancing in the wind, the crow was squatting on the tree branch, its eyes bloodshot, occasionally it would let out a few wails.
There was a stone bridge not far in front of him. On the other side of the stone bridge hung a black coffin.
For some reason, my body couldn't control itself as I walked towards the stone bridge. Beneath the stone bridge, scarlet blood was flowing.
”Ga Ga”, her bare feet were suddenly grabbed. She lowered her head and saw a damaged skeleton hand with only a few strands of blood left. The owner of the skeleton hand was looking at her with a pair of empty eyes.
Suddenly, it grinned.
”Ah …” I screamed as I woke up from my dream and abruptly sat up on the bed. Cold sweat flowed down my body as I surveyed my surroundings. Only then did I realize that I was actually unharmed and lying on my bed at home.
He breathed heavily and his hands and feet became extremely cold. That dream was too real!
It was unknown since when he had been repeating a dream. Inside the dream, there was a black coffin lying in the middle of a lake that had been piled with blood.
Every time he wanted to investigate, there would be a skeleton blocking him. Then, the dream would be interrupted.
In the beginning — every time I woke up, I couldn't remember what had happened in the dream.
However … In the recent days, for some reason, the things he dreamt became clearer and clearer.
”Who?” There seemed to be something moving outside the window through the curtain.
”What are you doing? Nothing.” Pulling open the curtains, he couldn't help mumbling to himself when he saw that there was nothing at all.
He lay back on the bed. It was just a dream. What was there to be afraid of? He still had to go to work tomorrow.
He had finally found a job and didn't want to lose it.
Creak! Creak! Creak …
On the balcony, shockingly, a skeletal hand appeared. It was the exact same as the skeleton in my dreams.
”You couldn't have been a thief yesterday, right?” When going to work, Yu Yan looked at my thick and dark circles under my eyes and couldn't help but ask.
”I just didn't sleep well at night. I always have the same dream. I can't remember anything when I dream.” As I spoke, I couldn't help yawning.
Seeing that I was not in a good mood, Yu Yan suggested that they go find her grandmother.
After work, I went to Yu Yan's house. When Grandma Yu Yan saw me, her expression slightly changed.
”Grandma, I brought a friend here for a reason.” After listening to my description, Grandma came up to me and touched the top of my head.
”I can help you see what you dream about, or I can help you stay awake in your dreams and find out, but... ”I can only open the altar when my Yin Qi is at its heaviest. Now I have to go prepare something, you guys can sit for a while.” I wanted to ask if there was anything I could help with, but just as I was about to go in, I was stopped by Yu Yan.
”My grandma will prepare those by herself.” Sitting in the chair, I had a feeling that something was wrong.
