377.The shadow of the old house
After Aisha left the old bungalow, Gu Zhuo couldn't bear the waves of fatigue in his body and walked straight towards the bed that looked as hard as marble.
He walked to the stone bed and sat sideways on it.
He originally thought that sitting on this stone bed would be very hard, maybe like sitting on a stone. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Gu Zhuo sat down, the slate bed sensed his movements and automatically bent in an arc.
The force-bearing area formed by this arc is the category that makes him feel the most comfortable, because Gu Zhuo unexpectedly discovered that this seemingly hard slate bed was actually more comfortable than any sofa he had ever sat on before. Or the mat should be comfortable.
Gu Zhuo marveled in his heart, and then lay down on the stone bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down on the stone bed, he felt himself being pulled into a pile of soft cotton wool. A soft, warm feeling, like animal fur, gently enveloped him.
Even though he was separated by a layer of war machines, he could clearly feel this sense of comfort.
Gu Zhuo originally just wanted to lie down for a while, but now that he fell into this softness, the accumulated fatigue in his body swept over him involuntarily, and the attack was even more fierce than before.
Soon, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.
Gu Zhuoqiang held on for a while, not daring to fall asleep. But the longer he lay there, the more tired he became.
Finally, he decided to take a nap.
He put the war machine's helmet back on, and then closed his eyes.
Soon, Gu Zhuo fell into a deep sleep.
After falling asleep, he had a nightmare that he hadn't had in a long time.
Gu Zhuo first dreamed that there were a bunch of monsters standing in front of him - monsters transformed by himself, Chaoying, Jia Sheng and Akashi. The monsters saw him and rushed towards him. Gu Zhuogang wanted to fight back, but found that he did not carry any weapons. The war machine is also missing, and the doomsday fortress vehicle is nowhere to be found.
Helpless, he had to turn around and run away.
The monsters were chasing him from behind, and he kept running as hard as he could in front. Until he ran into a dark hole, the monster behind him suddenly became silent.
He stopped and looked back, seeing that the monsters had disappeared.
But what was missing was not only the group of monsters, but also the receding scenery around him and everything he was familiar with.
Even among the backwards things, he saw a familiar figure. That figure belongs to the person he misses day and night:
Morning shadow.
"Asakage!"
Gu Zhuo yelled and grabbed for the thing that kept regressing, like a river moving backwards, but in the end he only caught a piece of blankness and nothingness. Time and love are like sand, slipping away and drifting away from the gaps between his fingers.
Gu Zhuo watched helplessly as he lost everything. The feeling of heartache swept over him. He fell to his knees, completely unable to face the tragic reality.
Everything around him became silent again, the boundless silence, boundless wilderness, boundless loneliness and boundless fear, pulling him down little by little.
He knew that he had been relying on Chaoying and Sam for support, but now there was nothing here.
He wasn't familiar with anyone, not Elsa, not V, or old Jack who had heard the whole story himself.
For Gu Zhuo, they are all strange and distant existences, so illusory and unreal.
And at the moment when Gu Zhuo fell into despair and confusion, something happened.
This incident was so bizarre that even Gu Zhuo was not sure whether it was a dream or something that really happened.
He first heard a strange movement.
The movement was like a "click" sound made by the flow of electricity, a crackling sound, which seemed so harsh in the silence of the night.
Gu Zhuo noticed the movement. He stood up from the ground, but found that the sound did not seem to come from his dream, but seemed to come from the inside of the old house.
This discovery caused him to quickly open his eyes and almost jump out of bed.
He was alert for a moment, looking around everything in the old house, trying to find where the sound was coming from.
He originally thought that there might be a leak somewhere, or some furniture that was in disrepair and malfunctioned, which was why there was such a noise.
But soon, as Gu Zhuo searched, he discovered that the sound of electricity did not come from a specific place. It came from all directions, under the house, around the house, and on the ceiling. The sound was everywhere.
"Who is it? Come out!"
Gu Zhuo stretched out two knives from his arm armor, stood there, and shouted into the empty house.
No one responded to him, only the sound of electric current resounded continuously.
Then, Gu Zhuo saw it. On one wall of the old house, a shadow flashed past quickly.
The shadow flashed past very quickly, but it looked like a person running quickly. In short, this shadow reveals a strong sense of weirdness, like a ghost existing in the dark night.
But Gu Zhuo would not believe that there are ghosts in the world.
He quickly jumped towards the shadow and made a scratch on the wall with his knife. The hand knife scratched the wall, making a harsh sound, and even caused a burst of sparks because it was too fast.
But he didn't catch anything, and the shadow disappeared directly.
It just left a very strange "feeling" in the original place.
Yes, Gu Zhuo's senses are definitely not wrong.
It wasn't any taste, touch, or sound.
It's a subtle "feeling".
He now stood there, his whole body beginning to tremble. But it's not because of fear or cold, but a wonderful feeling of being oppressed. It seemed that time had turned into a tangible river, crashing down on him overwhelmingly.
He was suddenly burdened with millions of years of time.
He "sees" the beginning and end of time, "touches" the collapse and collapse of space, and "hears" the silent cry from the universe.
There is only one word that can best describe his current feeling:
Gu Zhuo is psychic.
This wonderful feeling and trembling lasted for more than half a minute.
After half a minute, the feeling finally faded away, and Gu Zhuo seemed to have lost all his strength. He walked to the bed in a daze, fell down, closed his already heavy eyes, and fell asleep again.
He slept until early morning, when his bracelet vibrated violently, waking Gu Zhuo up.
Gu Zhuo opened his eyes drowsily and saw that it was six o'clock in the morning. His bracelet vibrated because Aisha called him.
And he recalled the dream he had at night about the shadow of the old house. The shadow lingering on the wall, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
