Chapter 235 Deep Water
In the moment before the door closed, the fat man subconsciously wanted to call the doctor, but a sudden chill interrupted everything.
The fat man's hand, which had just been raised, stopped in mid-air.
Intentionally or unintentionally, some bits and pieces of the mission emerged from his memories.
He still remembered that when he was walking on the beach with the doctor, the doctor leaned over and stared at the circles of white waves, and said after a moment: "This sea seems to be empty."
It was precisely because this sentence shocked him so much that he ignored the doctor's next sentence.
Staring at the waves that surged up and retreated, the doctor slowly said: "There is also a problem with the tide here."
It turned out that the problem was not the tide, but the island.
The heartbeat that was like a burst in the deep water finally had a source.
Fear, madness, confusion and hesitation, in just a few seconds, too many emotions flashed in the fat man's eyes.
Compared with the doctor, he is a person with richer emotions, but when it comes to managing and suppressing emotions, he is much worse than the doctor.
He began to feel chest tightness, as if someone had pressed him to the ground, and then pressed pieces of bluestone on his chest.
His chest was squeezed, and so were his lungs. He squatted on the ground, holding his head, and gasping for air.
Is this still the world he knew?
Did the weird invade this world, or did he accidentally peek into the truth behind this world while the curtain was not closed?
Perhaps the world behind the door is also real.
And it is not as the doctor predicted. Everything they have in the world inside the door is just a repetition of past history.
No matter what they do, they can't change the course of history.
But he can be sure that the door has begun to change them, at least changed himself!
Because the fat man grabbed his hair with one hand and controlled the other hand to tremble and raise it in front of him.
He stared at this hand, and a strange feeling he had never had before slowly rose from his heart.
The next second, it spread to his whole body.
Lying flat on the mattress, the quilt covered his chin obediently, Jiang Cheng breathed steadily, as if nothing had happened.
With his hands flat on his chest, the quilt rose and fell slightly, and his eyes stared at the ceiling, as if there was a person hanging upside down on it.
If there was, that person must have a face exactly like Chen Ran’s.
"Brother Hao, don't think too much. I just have a hunch, and my hunches are never reliable."
"Just like this building, it feels alive to me. Being inside it feels like being in the belly of a monster, and it's suffocating me."
"The knife is in your hand, and you have a feast like me to enjoy. Don't you really want to try it?"
"Opportunities don't always come. Believe me, take advantage of it while it's still in your hand."
Every word that man said passed by Jiang Cheng's ears one after another.
And his micro-expressions when he said these.
The grinning mouth, revealing the white teeth.
He is conceited and extremely confident.
Especially the look in his eyes when he stared at himself.
Jiang Cheng always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
Maybe it wasn't him, but just another person who was very similar to him.
But who was it?
And why was he staring at himself with that look.
There were constant pains coming from the depths of his mind, and the darkness gradually Gradually blinded his eyes.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Jiangzhou.
Late at night.
A secluded private house on the Fuhan River in the south of the city.
Near the tall closed iron gate, a middle-aged man sitting in the duty room was bored and swiping his phone.
An old dog was lying beside him.
The old dog was quite human and knew that the owner who lived in this house liked quietness and didn't like noise.
So he didn't say a word at night.
Unless he encountered some special circumstances.
Like now.
It stood up immediately from its nap, its ears stood up, and its hair trembled all over its body.
But the next second, someone hit the dog's head with a rolled-up magazine.
"That's enough," the middle-aged man who was the night security guard of the private house didn't even look at the old dog. He swiped his phone with one hand and said in a scolding and threatening tone: "Last time I believed your lies, and I rashly went over and got scolded by the housekeeper. Do you want to deceive me this time? "
"Be careful or I'll eat your dog food with rice!" the middle-aged man said with a groan.
He was very satisfied with this job. The owner had little housework and the salary was good. Who wouldn't like to work for such a person?
If this dog ruined his good job, he would be screwed.
"Woof! Woof! "The old dog rushed over, stood up its front legs, and put them on the door, pulling it non-stop.
This frightened the middle-aged man, and he ran over quickly, trying to control it, or at least shut it up.
But the old dog seemed to be crazy, baring its teeth and drooling.
It was the same last time.
But last time he had no experience, and thought there was a thief in the house, so he let the dog out, holding a baton, and chased after the dog.
But when he got to the place, he saw that the old dog was lying on the steps in front of the owner's house, barking non-stop at the inside.
Finally, the housekeeper was called in, and he scolded the dog and him.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the middle-aged man also felt a very strange smell.
No, it's not a smell.
It's a subconscious judgment.
He felt that the building in front of him was a little different from the previous one.
But he looked for a long time and didn't find it.
The housekeeper said that if this happened again, he would pack up and leave.
Finally, the owner in light-colored sportswear appeared.
She was a very delicate woman, not tall, not old, and a girl of a middle age.
I heard that the woman's parents died a long time ago, but fortunately they left a very rich family.
I heard from a colleague with more experience that the woman also has a younger brother, but he is said to have brain problems, so he is rarely brought out.
On weekdays, the brother and sister rarely go out, so over time, some harsh rumors have even spread.
The woman looked as cold as ever, and didn't say much, but just told the housekeeper to deal with the matter as soon as possible and not to delay her brother's rest.
But it was not until the man left and returned to the duty room that he suddenly realized that it was 1 o'clock in the morning.
But the woman was wearing a sports suit.
Is she doing any exercise?
Alone?
So strange
Maybe this is the lifestyle of rich people. He turned around and closed the door. Just as he was about to teach the troublesome old dog a lesson, he suddenly found that the old dog had wilted. Not only did it stop barking, but it also retreated under the bed.
A unique smell of stench came from under the bed.
