Shen Zhihe opened the door with a blank expression, walked slowly to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and then began to instinctively observe the surrounding environment.

The main components of this living room basically come from the residence he lived before he was thirty-four years old, and about 10% come from his childhood residence. Finally, there are a few that come from some places that have no meaning.

The TV and table were nearly 90% similar to what he remembered, and there were also a few familiar and beautiful potted plants huddled in the corners of the house. In reality, they should have always been placed on the balcony, and there were a few that he had never seen before.

The origin of the chairs can no longer be traced by any living creature, but their unique style still left a deep enough impression on him.

The brown clock was not hung on the wall like a memory, but was thrown on the corner of the table as softly as a rag. The second hand and hour hand both transformed into several curves as it deformed. This scene was spontaneous.

Based on the works of a certain surrealist painter, and following the memory, it penetrates into the world where Shen Zhihe lives.

In the two corners behind Shen Zhihe, there were two strangers standing there respectively. One was a young male member of the Salvation Alliance who betrayed them not long ago, and the other was Shen Zhihe who was a few years ago.

He had seen a face on the street years ago, but the face of the woman standing in the house was somewhat unclear - just like his memory of it.

The man among them just stared ahead with a dull face, like a mentally ill person imprisoned. Although the woman's face could not be seen clearly, Shen Zhihe always felt that her eyes were falling on him.

seem……

Is there anything unusual?

He showed some vigilance, and as his brain thought hard and slowly, some thoughts were constantly emerging and flowing in his mind.

Tomorrow's breakfast, violet, unreasonable, 52, unreal, hyena...

I no longer live here!

Suddenly Shen Zhihe's expression became nervous, and alertness occupied all of his eyes. Then he instinctively used his own skills to fight against the enemy as if seeing a tiger of the same kind, and a groggy feeling suddenly rushed into his chest.

in his mind, but the idea of ​​waking up had already arisen in his heart.

Crunch.

At this moment, the sound of the door being opened came from behind him, which temporarily defeated all Shen Zhi and Gang's thoughts and drew his attention to the position behind him.

Shen Zhihe stood up, turned around and looked at the door that was pushed inwards. There was a reassuring rustling sound inside, which made his guard down a bit again. Then he stood there and tried to put his

The thinking is a little "clearer".

But suddenly there was a roar of wild beasts coming from inside the door. Hearing the deepness of the sound, he rushed towards the bedroom door that opened inward without hesitation.

Shen Zhihe opened the door completely in a panic, and then a warm scene came into his eyes. A ten-year-old girl was lying on the bed, holding a watercolor pen in her hand and describing the imaginary world.

He breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

She was safe - this thought instantly made all his wariness and vigilance disappear.

Shen Zhihe raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, walked quietly behind his daughter, and said in a gentle voice:

"Xiao Ling?"

"Dad!" The girl turned around in surprise, and then happily threw herself into his arms.

Shen Zhihe gently picked up his daughter, and at the same time a slight guilt surged into his heart, as if he was still in the afternoon when he suddenly returned home.

He suddenly remembered that he had not seen his daughter for a long time. He had been busy with work these days, and due to its special nature, although he was not short of money at all, he had no way to ask for leave.

He can't quit.

"Baby." He touched his daughter's hair, then put her down gently, "What are you doing?"

The girl did not answer his question immediately, but said expectantly:

"Dad, how long can you stay when you come back this time..."

After hearing this, Shen Zhihe opened his mouth with some guilt, but still overcame the difficulty and said:

"It should only be today. Our work is progressing to an important level. I am passing by here temporarily to see you, but I promise that I will have a long vacation before long. I have already made an agreement with my boss. She is

A reasonable lady.”

The girl nodded a little disappointedly at first, but after hearing the second half, she laughed happily, as if she was looking forward to the happy time she would have with her father soon:

"Dad, by the way, let me show you this."

Shen Zhihe watched her child running and jumping back to the bed with a doting look on her face, then took the drawing board she had just painted on and handed it to her father, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Until then, everything was still basically the same as in his memory.

Shen Zhihe lowered his head and looked at the pictures on the drawing book. There were several little figures drawn with different colored pencils. The second one on the right was himself. The little figure had the casual clothes he usually wears at home, and his left hand

She also tightly held the short-haired little girl on the far right - her daughter.

A few steps in the air to his left, stood a young woman with tied up hair, followed by two other people behind her. The man looked a little old, while the woman was dressed very smartly. They looked

It’s also normal…

But on the far left of the drawing paper, there is something that looks like a humanoid standing there. His body composition is simpler than the others, with just a few ordinary black lines, and his face is blocked by messy black lines.

, and these seemingly graffiti lines faintly formed two "horns" on his head, making him look like some kind of terrifying monster.

Shen Zhihe bent down and asked his daughter in a gentle tone:

"The two people you drew are me and you, right?"

The girl nodded heavily, feeling particularly happy that her father could figure out what it was:

"Well! This is me and dad."

He did not reveal his worries, but pointed to several other people and asked curiously:

"Who are these?"

The girl said happily:

"It's those uncles and sisters who have been to our house."

Shen Zhihe asked with some confusion:

"What uncle and sister?"

Snapped.

The girl suddenly grabbed him and pulled him outside.

Shen Zhihe cooperated very well and allowed his daughter to lead him forward.

There was no resistance.

They returned to the living room. The girl raised her arm and pointed at the three people who didn't exist just now and said:

"That's them."

Shen Zhihe looked at her finger.

Standing at the front was Qin Lan, while Feng Shaoying and Tao He stood half a step behind her, looking calmly ahead, as if they were talking to someone.

"It turns out it's them." Shen Zhihe nodded, "Baby, do you know who they are?"

The girl looked serious and thoughtful:

"Dad's friend?"

He nodded and said:

"Yes, and they are also my father's colleagues. These uncles and sisters are very good people. If you encounter any problems, you can ask them for help."

The girl asked puzzledly:

"Can't I just go to Dad?"

He reached out and touched the girl's head:

"Silly boy, you might not be able to find me. What if I'm at work?"

He was in a dangerous war and could die at any time. What put him in danger was not the terrible world outside. There was nothing worth fighting for, but he still couldn't bear the price of defeat.

The girl nodded in understanding:

"Well, I remember it!"

Shen Zhihe pointed to the little man with his face cut off and asked:

"Then who is this?"

The girl showed a confused look after hearing the question, and then said doubtfully:

"I remember it was an uncle named Ma En, but I couldn't remember what he looked like.

"Dad, do you remember?"

When this question was raised by the girl, an eighth person quietly appeared in the room, and the two people standing in the corner also looked at where Ma En appeared.

A man dressed very ordinary appeared in the house.

But the place on his face was empty.

No eyes, no nose, no eyebrows, no mouth, no ears.

Luna's eyes revealed long-awaited surprise. In her original expectation, Ma En's face should have basically taken shape at this time. She should be able to use Shen Zhihe as a springboard to close the distance between herself and Ma En, and as long as

After doing this a few times, you can try to invade his mind.

But now she has encountered obstacles blocking her way, and they are not the kind that can be easily overcome.
