Mercury Dream

I like the night very much.

I really like to enjoy this quiet time leisurely under this thick night with slow steps.

The whispers from the woods, the naughty pranks brought by the wind, and the sleeping songs sung by the waves, all made me intoxicated in it and couldn't extricate myself for a long time.

Although at night, you can't find the flying figures of birds, and you can't hear their unique singing, just relax and slowly close your eyes, you can inadvertently find a hilarious festival.

The sound of the cat's footsteps.

The symphony of the insect.

The chuckle of the wind.

Also, there are also the sky hanging high in the thick night sky, and the silver light is like the moonlight on the ground.

Stepping on the road covered with fallen leaves, waves of squeaking sounds lingering beside you.

Occasionally, when you walk to a deeper shade, you often find that you will suddenly lose the light not far away. Although the moonlight in the sky has not receded, when you look up, you are covered by the leaves that cannot find color, so that what you see will change into a deep darkness.

There is nothing to find, but it is not a darkness with nothing.

I can't see anything clearly, but it's not the darkness of the void.

The hazy, hazy dark color, although there was a vague light at the distance, there was no idea of ​​moving the pace at this time, but he did not intend to stop his own pace. Instead, he raised his head and looked around him with a slightly leisurely mood.

Nothing can be found, nothing can be seen.

You can find everything and see everything.

Some are contradictory, but some are novel, because everything reflected in the eyes at this moment is completely different from the daytime.

It's like entering another world.

Chi.

Suddenly he laughed, surrounding this quiet night.

Naturally leaning against the big tree behind me, when I raised my head, what I saw was no longer the scenery of the night sky I just saw, but instead it was a curtain made of branches and leaves. Although the moonlight can be found in the gaps, it is still difficult to explore the entire night.

It's really a shame to not see the stars. If you were filming a TV series, you would definitely not be selected here, do you know?

He still raised his head and looked at the branches and leaves that could not see the night view at all. His small face could not see any expression, but the water-blue eyes had a faint smile, exploring the first scenery revealed between the gaps of the branches and leaves.

The small fingers tapped gently after wave, and the bag that was carrying it was like a melody that only you knew.

Such leisurely daydreaming has been my favorite for a long time. Although I have gradually gotten used to the time around everyone, occasionally, as I am alone, I enjoy the faint passage of time, and there is also a unique beauty.

He is really greedy, and he is truly a so-called nouveau riche.

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz--!!

The sound is not loud, but at the moment when there is no sound, you can naturally find it immediately.

Although he was in a daze and dazed, when he noticed the familiar sound, he completely subconsciously stopped his fingers, which were still rhythmic, and then he took out the portable phone emitting dazzling blue light from the opening of his bag...

...Like the sea waves reflected by the moonlight, the deep blue fluorescent light swayed slightly, as if it brought the surroundings into the deep underwater world, making everything look so quiet and deep.

This is not the color you set, but the setting that Ai Li must complete. In her words, it seems that such a color is very close to the image you give to others.

It's really incomprehensible.

Although I am a little concerned about why this color is close to my own image, this is not the focus now, but the big letter logo flashing on the screen at this time, which is the real focus.

This is an email, and it is clear at a glance.

The person who sent this email was either someone else, or Ai Li, who just watched TV shows together.

It seemed to be worried about whether she would go home safely, but it was no wonder. After all, she insisted on sending her off in person at the beginning, but was stopped in the end. After all, Athena was quite busy tonight, so she couldn't make things worse and get more busy.

Of course, the elder sister was very dissatisfied with such a statement. Even when she left, her mouth was still pouting.

I really love to worry, and I say I'm fine.

Although he was talking about complaining, the angle was slightly revealed at the corner of his mouth, but he successfully betrayed the mood expressed in his heart.

Although I was staring blankly on the roadside at this time, I still didn't plan to say it in detail. After all, if I say it, I'm afraid that the sister Ailixu would immediately rush out of the door and use an evil spirit.

I was thinking about how to reply to the content of the email, and slowly read the content of the second half of the email.

Well, probably not.

Shaking his head, throwing his original idea behind his head.

How is that possible? It’s not Sister Lan Hua.

－－Do you still remember the content of the special program just now? －－

I smiled a little bitterly. The show I watched together just now was actually not very nutritious, but it was just a special collection of soul horror, which compiled the legends from some places and the long-standing strange stories in the city. Overall, the content of this ninety-minute program seems to be less than the atmosphere of the soundtrack that seems to be there.

Thinking of this, he laughed softly again.

－－－ At that time, I just remembered that there was a very surprising information, and this was the news I just bought!!!－－

Three exclamation marks were used in a row to express the importance of this message.

Although it is a little unclear, I still don’t think that Sister Ai Lixu will find some boring things to do. After thinking about it, she raised her hand and slightly tamped with the falling ends of her hair, and then continued to read...

...But, this tiny movement was frozen halfway and still moving.

That, that...

The voice trembled slightly, not because of fear or fear, but because of the inability to understand the surprise and deep surprise of the things that appeared in front of you.

...Then, what is that?

It was completely incomprehensible that the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

It was supposed to be pitch black and there was no space of color, but suddenly I found a road that stretched to the other end under my feet at some point.

The dark gray stone slabs, one after another, are clearly visible between them.

This is not the original color of this road, and this answer naturally jumped out.

But this is that again!?

What is this road!?

The more I looked at the bizarre road under my feet, the more questions that appeared in my heart were getting more and more.

Slowly, his eyes looked towards the end little by little.

Slowly, the scene came into the eyes inch by inch.

---elder.---

The old man bent over, lowered his head, and supported a wooden crutch.

It's very ordinary, and it's also very ordinary, and there's no weirdness at all.

It's like the streets in the afternoon, people can be seen everywhere shopping, that's all.

... Come out and stroll.

As if he was deliberately, he moved his eyes away from the figure, and at the same time he raised his head, as if he wanted to find where the sudden light source came from.

But just like what I saw not long ago, it is still the shadow of the tree.

No...No, no!

Even the silver light among the branches and leaves, the moonlight from the half-day sky, quietly disappeared without a trace.

Moonless night.

Night without stars.

Gulu.

He swallowed, his body shrank, and his eyes fell slightly for granted.

See, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see...

...The old man in the distance leaned over even more.

The movements and postures remained completely unchanged, and they were still facing each other, but the distance between the two sides changed from a distant distance to just a distance of one intersection. The original strange aura that seemed to be there suddenly began to become extremely rich, making people not have time to breathe.

The breath in my chest became tighter and thinner. This was not a difficulty in breathing, but wanted to minimize my breathing and avoid the breath that made me feel a little uneasy. Although I knew that as long as I opened my mouth, I could get the so-called answer, but I found several times that when I wanted to open my mouth, the slight collision between the teeth made the sound breathing extremely difficult.

What are you doing?

What are you afraid of?

All of this cannot be understood at all. The only thing that can be determined is that the contact with the back against the tree is the only support point at this moment.

Just now, the email...

The sounds that came out of your mouth were completely messy, and you could only let yourself hear the meaning clearly. However, whether it was correct or not seemed to be so important. I saw that I was still holding the small hand with the phone, and I was tremblingly trying to raise it up slowly so that I could divert my attention.

His eyes moved slightly.

The vision swayed immediately.

The old man, who was obviously a distance, was right in front of him, and was less than a few steps away from him. Even the dead grass-like white hair could be clearly visible.
To be continued...
