Chapter 255: Building
That driver earlier... was Qin Dongguo. The man who had gone missing. Plus, the car that they just exited from. Based on what Pi Wan said, the car was still in police impound. How could it be on the road? Was it a coincidence?
Fatty’s teeth chattered. Everything that happened earlier was scarier than the nightmare simply because... they were in the real world. This was the world that belonged to them!
This was not the world that would only appear after they fell asleep and pushed open the black iron door. He had a strange feeling that the barrier between the nightmare realm and the real world was slowly being corroded. The boundary between the two blurred. If the boundary were not restored, those things in the nightmare would one day descend on the real world. Just like what just happened.
He couldn’t imagine that... No, he forced himself not to imagine that.
If the Doctor didn’t tell the driver to stop and allowed Qin Dongguo to keep driving, where would they end up? Would there be a black door at their destination? Or would it be a location beyond their comprehension?
He remembered how he felt when he was in the car. It was like he was inside a coffin. Even the sun couldn’t warm his skin. That feeling didn’t belong in the real world.
The words the middle-aged man told the Doctor suddenly appeared in Fatty’s brain. It stuck into his brain like a needle. It was clear and sharp, as if the middle-aged man was standing before them. “There is a minority of people,” The middle-aged man said, “They will be selected by Deep Red.” He leaned forward, “To infiltrate this world.”
Fatty’s throat moved, and his lips opened. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth.
Fatty astutely kept his mouth shut. He knew the Doctor was not in a good mood. He had almost never seen the Doctor like this before. Especially since he knew who the Doctor called. It was the middle-aged man.
Xia Meng looked even more intrigued. Just as her eyes curled into crescents, Jiang Cheng’s voice came from the front. Ever since he got in the car, he hadn’t said a word. It was the same for the middle-aged man. The two were as silent as wooden logs.
“Those who targeted you,” Jiang Cheng said, “Have found me too.”
The joking expression on Xia Meng’s face disappeared. She turned to Jiang Cheng. She never looked as serious as she did then. After a long time, she asked, “What did you say?”
“You heard me,” Jiang Cheng said coolly. The middle-aged man was silent. Actually, he had already guessed this when he received Jiang Cheng’s call.
After Jiang Cheng described the situation, the atmosphere in the car dropped. Xia Meng’s eyes glowed. She wanted to say something, but before she could, she felt a gaze on her. She looked up and met Uncle Gong’s eyes that had just wandered away.
“They are moving faster than I thought.” The middle-aged man began. Fatty frowned. He turned the steering wheel. The car entered a narrow path. It was clear that people rarely used this path. The car bounced nonstop from the bad road conditions.
They drove for a while longer until they encountered a few sandbags on the road. The bags were bulging and looked like they were filled with pebbles. It was undeniable that they were there as roadblocks.
As expected, when they stopped, a few youngsters came out of the nearby trees. Without saying anything, they removed the sandbags. The car continued to move forward. Before them, a tall building appeared.
