Chapter 91: Slowly, It’s Getting Dark

The Half-Life GhostcatcherChapter 91

Chen Ranlu drive, I pointed the way, drove about half an hour's time, came to the memory of the street above.

Standing in the doorway of the bar, my face is a little pale, looking at the morning research dew said: "Impossible ah, I also came here last night, how can ……"

The street here, and yesterday's appearance is exactly the same, there is no other changes, but only that bar. But the only bar is the one above the door curtains, being hung with a notice that is all dusty.

Suspension of business, opening time to be determined.

Chen Yanlu frowned and said, "Homi, you're not seeing ghosts, are you?"

I shook my head and said, "How could that be, that person is Xia Bing's friend, you saw him during Xia Bing's funeral."

Chen Yanlu continued to frown as I walked to the door of the bar, then tapped on the door. It stirred up a large cloud of dust.

There was no movement through the door for half a day.

Chen Yanlu said, "Let's go, go back."

I shook my head and said, "Impossible, how can it be? I immediately gave Chen Yanlu said, "Go, let's go to Xia Bing's home."

When I came to Xia Bing's home neighborhood and knocked on the door, there was still no response for half a day.

I don't believe it muttered to myself, said, "Impossible, I obviously gave him the key, he is not here, then where will it be?"

Chen Yanlu suddenly said, "The mausoleum!"

I raised my head violently, and walked quickly towards the downstairs, Chen Yanlu followed behind me, and kept saying slow down.

Came to the mausoleum when, the sky in the pattering of the rain went down again, Chen Ranlu with clothes to me to cover the rain, the two of us just walked into the Xia Bing grave of that area when, far away when I saw a black umbrella.

Under the umbrella, Zhang Yu is standing in front of Xia Bing's grave, I walked over quickly, panting, said: "Finally found you."

Zhang Ye looked at me calmly and said, "You're willing to drink that glass of wine now?"

My brows furrowed as I said, "When I went to that street, why was there a closed sign posted in front of the bar?"

I looked closely into Zhang Yu's eyes, and if he had the slightest hint of dodging, he was able to be detected by me.

Zhang Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, I'll take you back."

Just at this time, Chen Yanlu walked to my side, then spoke, "The person who wants to drink, is me."

Zhang Yu looked at me, then looked at Chen Yanlu and said, "Are you sure?"

Chen Yanlu frowned and nodded, saying, "Am I not able to drink?"

Zhang Yu said, "Of course not, but I don't know if you can stand that cup of wine."

Chen Yanlu said with some chills in her voice, "Then what do you mean by giving it to Homi to drink?"

Zhang Yu said, "You have too many secrets in your heart, so if a dream comes out inside, you might not wake up."

I looked at Zhang Yu with some doubts, he was able to see what was in Chen Yanlu's heart? When I first saw Zhang Yu, I did have a feeling of being seen through, did he really have this ability?

Chen Yanlu snorted coldly, Zhang Ye smiled and put away his umbrella, then walked ahead of us.

Zhang Yu took the lead and walked out of the mausoleum, and I quickly followed him. Chen Yanlu walked behind me in silence.

After getting into the car, Zhang Yu sat in the back seat and Chen Yanlu drove.

Zhang Ye should not be a ghost, where there is a ghost with an ID card.

The light rain hit the car's front-view mirror glass, I was a little cold, thinking of that day when we entered the Yellow Springs Road.

Zhang language did not speak, morning research Lu silent driving, slowly, dark.

The distance from the bar to the mausoleum, only half an hour time, I looked at the cell phone, the time now, but suddenly to 8 pm.

I was surprised and looked at Chen Yanlu, Chen Yanlu suddenly stepped on the brakes.

Zhang Yu said, "It's here."

I winced and looked up, realizing that we had indeed arrived on top of the street where the bar was located.

My eyelids fluttered a little, and the New Wine Bar, where the entrance was, was lit up with a faint fluorescent light. It was completely unlike the one I saw during the daytime when Chen Yanlu and I came here.

Zhang Yu said, "Let's go, let's go in."

I was getting a little weak in the knees. Now at this time of the day, how could it be possible to run so fast, just after noon, after walking through the mausoleum, it was eight o'clock in the evening?

And that notice on the door of the bar, which I had clearly seen during the day, had been sitting there for at least years.

Otherwise there wouldn't be so much dust, especially since it was still above the street. It's hard to build up dust when it's windy every day.

Chen Yanlu made a reassuring face at me, then turned off the engine and pulled out the car keys.

I opened the car door and stepped down, and Zhang Yu was already waiting for us outside the car.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Yu nodded at us, then made a gesture to invite us in.

Chen Yanlu, pulling my hand, walked ahead.

Everything inside the bar was the same as yesterday. But today there were two extra customers, lying on top of the bar, sleeping.

I looked at them with some surprise and said to Zhang Ye, "They are?"

Zhang Ye nodded and said, "Guests."

I shrugged my shoulders and looked at the woman with white hair, I didn't look at her carefully yesterday, but now I look at her, her features are very iconic, just like those beauties inside the theater, the only drawback, is that the makeup is too thick.

Chen Yanlu sat beside me, then said to the woman, "I want new wine."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Give him a glass."

The woman nodded and started mixing the wine. The light green colored liquid was poured from a delicate little porcelain bottle into a glass wine glass, the woman shook the glass twice, and there seemed to be something else extra inside the liquor.

I rubbed my eyes, not seeing clearly what the woman had just done.

Chen Yanyulu's eyes, however, were mesmerized down, exactly the same as that look I had yesterday. Then he took the drink that the woman handed him and was about to drink it.

I could not help but feel a feeling in my heart, and in one fell swoop grabbed Chen Yanlu's glass of wine. A mouthful of all into his mouth.

Chen Yanlu's eyes, immediately restored clarity, looked at the woman who mixed the drinks dead on, a little blood in his eyes.

The flavor of the liquor, was a little strange, slightly sweet, but in the midst of the sweetness was a kind of bitterness, without the slightest sensation of a spicy throat.

I frowned as I looked at Zhang Ye and just wanted to speak, but Zhang Ye smiled at me.

I didn't have any reason for my eyelids to be a burst of swelling, and then slowly slumped down on top of the bar. The last thing I saw was the somewhat flustered face of Chen Yanlu.

When I woke up, I was lying in my own home.

I rubbed my eyes and looked at my room somewhat blankly.

That's right, it was my room, exactly the same as when I left it, without any changes.

What's going on? Wasn't I inside Zhang Yu's bar? My brain was a bit swollen, then I rubbed my temples. Thinking about what happened earlier.

I grabbed Morning Research Dew's new wine and drank it. Zhang Ye said earlier that this would be able to make people dream, maybe it was the most heartfelt secret of a person, or maybe it was the thing she needed the most.

My dream that is home? Was this something I needed, or was it my secret?

I walked out of bed, then went to the dresser and looked at the slightly youthful face in it, wondering even more.

This me, now, was the me that had just turned fifteen, the way I looked at that time.

I looked at myself inside the mirror with some bewilderment.

Is this one a dream? Isn't it said that people who dream don't realize that they are dreaming, and are only able to recall what happened inside the dream after waking up.

Could it be that the current me is the real one, and everything else is actually my dream?

I'm only fifteen years old now, and all the things that have happened haven't happened, I'm inside a dream, seven years have passed.

Just at this time, there came a knock on the door. I said, "Come in."

After I said that, I froze, would it be too rusty for me to say that word now that I was inside my home? It seemed that it really was that dream, it was so long that I was now a little confused as to whether I was now fifteen, or twenty-two.

A middle-aged woman, wearing a flowery cloth apron, walked in. Then said to me, "Homi, Xia Bing is here to see you again, remember to come back for dinner then."

I nodded, this woman, was my mom, although she was now middle-aged, and the years had left quite a few marks on her, but it also added some charm belonging to a mature woman that was not present in a young woman.

The mom inside the dream, seems to be the same way, there is no change, I took a deep breath and said to her, "Is Xia Bing waiting for me at the door?"

When I said Xia Bing, my memory was surprisingly a little fuzzy, I couldn't remember what Xia Bing looked like now.

Seven years of dreams, too long, too real, so real that I have no way to distinguish.

Mom looked at me with some doubt and said, "You're talking so strangely today, how could I let Xia Bing wait for you outside? Right now she's inside the living room. You go quickly."

"Oh ……" I agreed and walked out of the room.

Everything inside the house was incomparably familiar to me, but amidst the familiarity was a pang of strangeness, as if I hadn't seen them in many, many years.

In the living room, a girl with a long ponytail was sitting quietly on top of the sofa.

I was a bit bewildered, Xia Bing's appearance, all of a sudden clear. But I don't know why, but it's always inside my dream, Xia Bing gave me that everything is life above that fragment.

"Homi, you finally came out!" Xia Bing stood up, her delicate face had the same childishness. I nodded and said, "What brings you here?"

I haven't been able to, completely wake up from inside the dream, my brain is still heavy, inadvertently, it seems like I forgot something, how can't remember it.

Xia Bing looked at me with some dissatisfaction and said, "Didn't I tell you, there is a person who wants to ask me out today, I don't want to go, so I came to find you as a companion."

I couldn't recall this matter, I could only nod my head and said, "Then you'll eat at my home today?"

Xia Bing lived here alone, following her grandfather, when she went back to her old home. It was her grandfather who passed away.

I had never seen Xia Bing's parents before, except after Xia Bing died.

I shook my head hard, always mixing things that happened in the two worlds completely together inside my head.

Xia Bing said suspiciously, "Homi what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Well, then I'll stay with you at your house today."

I nodded and then sat next to Xia Bing.

Xia Bing's beauty seemed to have started when she was a teenager.

The saying that the older a woman gets, the more she changes, the better she looks, was applied to Xia Bing's body without a single mistake at all.

Although my memories were a little fuzzy, I was relieved when I looked at Xia Bing sitting well by my side.

That horrible dream, Chen Yanlu, Liu Ke, and Shen Chong, so many things, and ghosts, and mutants ……

Finally woke up. However, what I didn't know is that I forgot the most important thing, only when I just opened my eyes, I remembered that I drank the new wine.

Now, I have completely forgotten this matter.

I looked at Xia Bing and said, "You're really a vixen, so young, and you've already started to have men circling around your garnet skirt."

Xia Bing looked at me with a bitter face and said, "Where is it, how do I know what kind of things those people are thinking about. How old are we now, you say, are they out of their minds."

I let out a giggle and said, "That's right, they definitely have problems, all of them have problems."

Xia Bing suddenly looked at me with a smile and said, "I seem to have found someone's side, I don't know when there are two more people Oh ~"

I looked at Xia Bing in surprise and said, "Who are they?"

Xia Bing looked at me with an unbelievable face and said, "Good you Homi, deliberately washing me is not it? Morning Research Lu and Liu Ke, don't you think I didn't see oh."

I froze, just at this time, mom suddenly walked into the living room with a large plate of fruits in her hand.

"If you two aren't going out, have some fruit first, I'll go make dinner now."

I nodded, then said to Xia Bing, "Vixen will eat here today."

Xia Bing hummed. My mom shook her head and somewhat helplessly left the living room.

Ever since I was little, my mom and dad haven't been particularly harsh on me, for one thing, my grades have never been something they've worried about. And for one, I didn't have anyone to come after.

That's right, at fifteen years old, I wasn't pretty, I wasn't ugly, and when I stood with Xia Bing, I became a leaf.

Of course no one would see my existence, but there were quite a few people who would pass through my hands and send love letters to Xia Bing.

Of course, every love letter was read by both Xia Bing and I together.

Then while reading it, Xia Bing also asked me how this person was. After I made my comment, she would despise and tear off the piece of letter paper that was most likely someone else who had painstakingly written it all night.

I ate a piece of apple, then suddenly said to Xia Bing, "Xia Bing, I want to learn photography so that I can shoot movies in the future."

Because the Xia Bing inside that dream was working inside the theater crew.

Xia Bing frowned and said, "Why are you suddenly thinking about this? I've watched several serials in the past two days, and those detectives inside are so handsome."

After a pause, Xia Bing said with a righteous face, "I must be a detective and then catch all the bad guys under the sky ……"

I froze, why would Xia Bing want to be a detective? I looked at Xia Bing blankly, my mind started to get confused again.

Real, now that's real.

I bit the back of my hand, a stinging pain.

Xia Bing screamed, "Homi are you crazy? Biting yourself?"

I covered her mouth and said, "Keep it down, I'm just checking to see if it hurts."

Xia Bing rolled her eyes and said, "You're not daydreaming, are you."

I pounded Xia Bing's waist, causing her to laugh, then the two of them fought together.

Panting and lying on top of the sofa, I said to Xia Bing, "I'm telling the truth, I really want to learn photography, let's learn together."

"I don't want it, I want to be a detective, by then all the beautiful women in the world, will worship me."

I glared at Xia Bing and said, "Shouldn't it be a handsome man?"

Xia Bing hummed and said, "Those men are all flowery words on their mouths, women are the most real."

Just at this time, my mom came out, carrying a plate of food, while saying, "At a young age, how do you know what it means to be real, eat."

We laughed and then sat on top of the table.
