Facing Ren Ling’s question, Lin Xiaotang glanced at him calmly: “I don’t want to sleep.”
Her voice was light, without any emotional ups and downs. After hearing her words, Ren Ling was stunned for a moment.
In his impression, Lin Xiaotang has always been introverted and well-behaved, and rarely behaves like this. Could this be a period of rebellion…or did something happen to her at school?
Looking at Lin Xiaotang who was silent, Ren Ling rubbed his aching brows, as if he wanted to say something.
But maybe because he was too tired, he moved his lips, and in the end he just sighed and said, “I’m going to bed, you should rest early too.”
Lin Xiaotang didn’t answer. She sat there quietly, like a lifeless puppet.
I don’t know if it was his illusion or the lighting was too dim, Ren Ling always felt that the girl in front of him was a little different.
If the former Lin Xiaotang was simply gloomy and withdrawn, then the current Lin Xiaotang is more suitable to be described as mysterious.
In addition to this mystery, it seems that there are other unknown and more terrifying existences lurking.
If Ren Ling’s mental state was normal, then he must be able to perceive the strangeness in Lin Xiaotang.
It’s a pity that all kinds of things during the day have exhausted Ren Ling, and by night, he really doesn’t have the energy to pay attention to his sister who is behaving strangely.
After pouring her a cup of hot water and placing a plush blanket by her side, Ren Ling dragged his exhausted body and returned to his room.
However, what Ren Ling didn’t realize was that at the moment he closed the door, Lin Xiaotang, who was sitting motionless on the sofa, suddenly moved.
She turned her head and looked at his back quietly. In the darkness, a strange color flowed from her deep eyes.
…
On the other side, after returning to the room, Ren Ling fell heavily on the bed. His face faded from the gentle look just now, revealing a look of tiredness and confusion.
When he was in front of Lin Xiaotang before, he still held on, and he didn’t behave in the slightest. But when no one was there, those painful memories flooded up like a tide.
Three days ago, a bunch of black material about him suddenly broke out on the Internet.
Beating assistants, bullying peers, playing big names, being raised by a rich woman… These contents, coupled with a few vague candid pictures, were instantly uploaded on the Internet.
Faced with these rumors, Ren Ling did not think about clarifying it.
But just yesterday, his best friend in the circle posted a Weibo accusing him of bad behavior.
At the cusp of the storm, the friend’s betrayal was undoubtedly a sharp blade, which stabbed Ren Ling’s heart ruthlessly.
In the face of such “testimony”, Ren Ling, who has a shallow foundation, has no ability to resist.
The endorsement was withdrawn, the fans lost, and he was hacked by the whole network, and was finally abandoned by the company.
In order to prove his innocence, Ren Ling has been running around for these things in recent days.
Facing the indifference and doubts of others, his heart was extremely painful.
He didn’t know what else he could do.
His days of popularity were too short, most of the money was split by the company, and he came from an ordinary family.
In the face of the tens of millions of default fees proposed by the spokesperson, he has almost no ability to repay.
Not to mention, he has a sister.
Lin Xiaotang’s academic performance has always been good, he knows it. She will have a very good future, so he can’t ruin her no matter what.
Ren Ling sometimes even felt that he was standing on the edge of a steep cliff. Just a few more mistakes, and he would fall off the edge of the cliff into an endless abyss.
Maybe the surrounding environment is too quiet, maybe it’s tired during the day. After lying on the bed, it didn’t take long for Ren Ling to fall into a dark dream.
In the dream, he dreamed of the scolding of his former fans, the high-flying face of his manager, and the phone call of his friend who couldn’t get through.
But this time, Ren Ling felt something different. He watched these scenes, not in the pain he always had.
He knew that these pictures were false, and he also knew that he was dreaming. His mind was sober, as if he was still awake.
……How is this going?
Ren Ling stared blankly at the dreams around him, and then moved his gaze to the agent closest to him.
He tried to walk towards the agent, but in the next second, he saw the agent showing an extremely frightened look.
“What are you afraid of?” Ren Ling asked.
The agent in the dream ignored him, but continued to look at him with that horrified look that seemed to see something extremely terrifying.
The fear on his face was so obvious that his eyes widened, and his entire face showed a hideous deformation.
Seeing that he was so frightened by himself, Ren Ling hesitated for a while, but finally let the agent go.
… Ren Ling’s intuition told him that if this continued, the other party might die here because of extreme fear.
He looked away from his agent and looked elsewhere, ready to continue exploring this strange dream.
And while Ren Ling was thinking like this, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind his ears –
“Come to me.”
The voice was faint, like a slight icy wind, passing by his ear.
After hearing this, Ren Ling turned around subconsciously and looked towards the source of sound.
Then, Ren Ling froze in place.
He was surprised to find that there was nothing behind him.
The darkness in front of him was thick and void, as if a huge black hole swallowed everything up.
No sound, no road, no wind, and none of those annoying images.
In the entire dream world, there is only a dark night with crimson stars shining.
And his sister Lin Xiaotang, standing in this huge dark vortex, looked at him quietly.
Countless crimson stars surrounded her, dyeing her dark black eyes with a layer of light.
For some reason, after seeing Lin Xiaotang, Ren Ling, who had always been a little uneasy, suddenly calmed down.
He no longer hesitated, and walked directly towards Lin Xiaotang.
“Xiaotang, where is this place?”
On the way past, Ren Ling looked at the vast sea of crimson light around her, and couldn’t help but ask, “What are these lights?”
“This is the ‘behind the dreamland’.” Lin Xiaotang said.
Her voice was light, showing a sense of emptiness: “These lights are everyone’s dreams, and they are also their most primitive fear.”
“Fear?”
Ren Ling was slightly startled, thinking that the agent was in her dream just now. status in.
The state of being so terrified that he was almost scared to collapse was indeed in line with Lin Xiaotang’s words.
“Fear makes us stronger,” Lin Xiaotang continued, “and inborn nightmares are a source of fear.”
The slender girl stretched out her hand and made a move, and hundreds of flashing crimson dreams flew around her.
Ren Ling only saw Lin Xiaotang lightly tap the light spots with her fingers, and then the light spots fell from the air as if they were freed from some restraint.
Eventually, they fell into the palm of his hand.
The moment he touched these light spots, Ren Ling’s eyes went black, and countless people’s faces flashed.
In these faces, there are friends who have betrayed him, leaders of his company who have given up on him, strangers who have insulted him online, and other artists who have excluded him from the crew…
“I gave their dreams to you.”
Lin Xiaotang’s voice rang in his ears while he was in a daze.
In such an extremely quiet environment, her voice showed a bit of inorganic coldness.
“From now on, the fears of these people will be controlled by you.” The next day, Lin Xiaotang opened her eyes when the alarm rang.
She looked at the time, then looked at Ren Ling’s room, and found that he was still sleeping.
Because she still had to go to school, Lin Xiaotang didn’t dawdle at home.
She changed clothes, ate something, and went out to catch the bus.
She doesn’t know how to use a cell phone, so she doesn’t have one and doesn’t know what happened recently.
But on the bus, through the words of other students, she still learned a lot of news.
“Have you watched the hot search in the morning? Wang Cheng went crazy when he was participating in the show, you know?”
“Look at it, it seems that he dreamed something when he slept? Anyway, people started crying after waking up. He also shouted and said sorry, all of which were recorded by the camera.”
“It is said that Ren Ling’s endorsement was originally intended for him, right? As a result of this incident, I don’t know what will happen…”
Lots of people twitter, discussing the news they just saw.
