01. Crossing

Today is the twelfth year of Gaoyang's crossing.

Before the crossing, Gao Yang was an orphan who had just spent his 6th birthday in an orphanage. That night, he ate the cupcakes that the dormitory manager bought for him, and fell asleep contentedly, before going to bed he made a wish, hoping that he could find his parents, and then fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up, Gao Yang found himself sitting at a dining table with a bowl of steaming noodles in front of it, biting into the noodles in his mouth, half still hanging outside and dangling.

In the hall of the old house, the light was soft in the early morning, and a pair of strange middle-aged men and women sat opposite the dining table, and the upper seat with her back to the door was a kind old woman, and beside her, there was a little girl with big eyes, about four or five years old.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and eat, don't be late for school later." The woman spoke, she was in her thirties, and although she was dressed in plain pajamas and unpowdered, she was very beautiful.

"Son, do you want dad to send it?" asked the man with a toothpick in his mouth, smiling, he was tall and strong, with a slight bulge in his lower abdomen, a slightly high hairline, and a faint glance between his eyebrows.

"Daddy is going to take me to kindergarten!" the little girl shouted angrilyLying on the table and pulling a bowl of millet porridge.

"Hehe, then send my brother first, and then my sister, okay?" the old grandmother smiled kindly, and reached out to touch the little girl's head.

Gao Yang opened his mouth wide, and the noodles fell on the table with a "click".

He was six years old at the time, and he still couldn't understand what "time travel" was, nor did he know what "parallel world" was.

He thought he was still dreaming, but he didn't expect that he had been dreaming for twelve years.

...

Now, Gao Yang has long since adapted to this new world, and has long since become one with the host. He is Gao Yang, 18 years old, a senior in high school, living in a warm family of five, with an amiable grandmother, loving and harmonious parents who occasionally quarrel, and an elf and eccentric sister.

He lived a good life, and like most of his peers, he immersed himself in studying for the college entrance examination, and occasionally imagined what university he would go to, what job he would find, who he would marry, and how many children he would have...

In short, Gao Yang's 6-year-old wish came true, he "found" his parents, and also gave his grandmother and sister.

He lived happily ever after, and wanted nothing else.

Everything changed on his 18th birthday.

After the evening self-study, Gao Yang rode his bicycle home, and when he passed a night road, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the alley and knocked Gao Yang and his bicycle over.

Gao Yang fell, but not much

He grinned and stood up, only to see the person who hit him. Under the dim street lamp, stood a short, middle-aged man, his shape was withered, his face was pale, his expression was frightened, he was wearing a tattered hospital gown, and he was covered in blood.

"Uncle, are you okay..."

"Run!" The man grabbed Gao Yang's shoulders with great strength: "Monsters! There are monsters everywhere! Run! Get out of here!"

There was a desperate smell of blood in the man's voice: "Don't trust anyone..."

"Bang!"

The man wanted to say something, a bullet shot into his temple, pierced his skull, and shot out from the temple on the other side, instantly blooming a blood-colored rose.

"Magnetic—" A thick blood mist mixed with a pungent fishy smell came to my nose.

The hands that grabbed Gao Yang's shoulders slowly let go, the man's frightened look was frozen forever, and his overly protruding eyeballs no longer moved, which were engraved with despair, hesitation and unwillingness.

Two seconds later, the body collapsed.

Gao Yang was blinded.

He froze in place, his feet quickly soaked with the spreading pool of blood, and all he felt was slimy and wet. The slight tinnitus caused by the bullet piercing the man's skull is gradually covered by the sound of a heartbeat in the chest: poof, poof, poof, poof...

"Kid, you're not hurt!"

"Don't be afraid, you're safe now

"Close your eyes and don't look down at ..."

Several policemen rushed up, and one of them took Gao Yang into his arms and covered his eyes.

...

The next day, Gao Yang made local news headlines: "Severely Mentally Ill Patient Killed Two Nurses and Escaped at Night, and Shot Dead on the Spot After Holding High School Students Hostage."

Gao Yang took a day off and rested at home.

He was indeed a little stimulated, witnessing a life being brutally shot at close range, and no ordinary person could stand it. Moreover, the matter of the mentally ill person is also full of suspicions, which makes him feel very weird, and he can't say what weird it is.

That night, Gao Yang took a sleeping pill.

After falling asleep, he dreamed.

The host's memories before the age of 6 had already been digested by Gao Yang, but there were still some vague memories that seemed to have been forgotten.

In the dream, Gao Yang returned to the middle of the night in the summer of his 4-year-old year.

He ate too much watermelon, his bladder was swollen, he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and when he passed by his grandparents' room, he heard a rustling sound.

Gao Yang was a little curious, pricked up his ears, and pressed against the cold door, the voice became more real and strange.

He had never heard such a sound before, like the whimper of a wild beast, or like the wail of a giant whale in the depths, it sounded painful and confused

Combined with a distorted euphoria, and then carefully distinguished, there was a rough and dull biting sound hidden under the sound.

Gao Yang only felt creepy.

At that time, he had just listened to his aunt in kindergarten finish telling the fairy tale of "Little Red Riding Cycle". He wondered if a big bad wolf would sneak into his house and eat his grandparents.

Gao Yang's heart was beating, but he still mustered up the courage to gently push the door open.

Through the crack in the door, he saw something!

He was so frightened that he turned around and ran back to his room, covered his head and got into the quilt, and even forgot to solve his physical problems.

Early the next morning, Gao Yang wetted the bed, and he thought it was just a nightmare. At this moment, the mother pushed the door in and sadly hugged Gao Yang into her arms, she cried and said, "Gao Yang, your grandfather is gone." "

When Gao Yang followed his mother out of the room, his grandfather's body happened to be carried away by medical staff on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth. By the time the funeral was held, Grandpa had been turned into an urn.

From beginning to end, Gao Yang and his sister didn't get to see their grandfather for the last time.

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of doubts.

Grandpa loved Gao Yang and his sister the most before his death, they are close relatives, why can't he see grandpa for the last time?

If the memory is not wrong, the corpse of the grandfather who was covered with a white cloth at that time,

The shape of the upper body is strange, as if one hand is mutilated.

Didn't Grandpa die of a heart attack? Why is there one less hand?

Gao Yang in the dream, looking at the corpse on the white stretcher, was puzzled.

Suddenly, the corpse on the white stretcher sat up!

Under Bai Bula, it turned out to be the neurotic man. His eyes were hollowed out, only two deep blood holes remained, viscous black blood spurted out of his seven orifices, and he stretched out his blood-drenched hands and pinched Gao Yang's shoulders hard.

- Monsters! Monsters everywhere! Run! Get out of here!

- Don't trust anyone!

...

"Ahh

Gao Yang woke up from his dream.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun is just right, the April breeze blows the curtains, and the traffic and city hustle and bustle are outside the window.

"Brother, are you having a nightmare?" the younger sister sat at the head of Gao Yang's bed, tilted her head to look at her, and blinked with a pair of big eyes.

Gao Yang was stunned: "Why are you in my room?"

My sister looked at him with disgust: "The sun is all on your ass, my mother asked me to wake you up!"

"Oh yes, got it. "

My sister walked out of the room.

Gao Yang was still in a trance, and he turned over

Get out of bed and take a big sip of water.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, and Gao Yang clicked on WeChat casually.

"Poof—" he squirted out a mouthful of water
