Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 61 Finale (Buy with caution)

Marin was sick, and he would fall into a coma from time to time, but when he was awake, even though he was dying, Marin's eyes were still shining.Lin Sheng's colleague said that Ma Lin still wanted to find his mother, and he was hesitant because of this thought.

Everyone said that Marin was afraid that he would die, and it only depends on how many days he can last.The dean was also very sad because of this child, Lin Sheng came to discuss the solution with her.

Lin Sheng was a little anxious, "Is it because the doctor's medical skills were not good last time? How about I go to the town again and see if a better doctor can treat Marin?"

The dean sighed, "You can go as long as you want, but I advise you not to have too much hope, heart disease needs heart medicine."

Seeing that there was something in her words that was related to Ma Lin's life, Lin Sheng asked the dean patiently for the reason.

"Marin is too early, but it is precisely because of this that he has developed to where he is today."

Lin Sheng pondered the meaning of her words. Ma Lin was indeed matured much earlier than children of the same age, but what did the dean mean by heart disease?

"Dean, everyone said that Marin ran away from home several times to find his biological mother. Is this what you mean by heart disease?"

The dean looked up at Lin Sheng, "Then do you know who Marin's biological mother is?"

Lin Sheng remained silent. Although he already had a guess in his mind, Lin Sheng just shook his head because he was worried about revealing the fact that he went to Majia Village to investigate privately last time.

That night, when Lin Sheng came back from the town, Marin took the medicine he bought, and whether it was effective would have to wait until tomorrow.Lin Sheng lay on the bed and looked out the window. The dean said a lot to him today, but he still couldn't understand some words.

It turned out that the dean was a nun before becoming the dean. Her family had a lot of ancestral property and she had a connection with Buddhism, so she spent ten years in the temple. I feel like my life is at a fork in the road again.

But this time she did not choose the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, but chose to join the WTO and become the director of the orphanage.

Buddhists always have a heart of compassion, but the most indispensable thing in the world is suffering, especially in this orphanage.

"There is no child in the orphanage that is not full of disasters. Marin is already luckier than others. He could have spent a normal childhood in the home of his adoptive parents, but that child is not."

"Do you know that the root of all suffering is obsession."

"Marin's mother used to be a doctoral student. She didn't belong here, but she was forced to come here. I can't tell you all about it, but she set a fire in Majia Village and almost wiped out the whole village. , only survived by putting her newborn child in the bathtub, and then she disappeared."

She couldn't bear to lose her child in the fire, but she didn't take him away, but stayed here.I don't know when, looking for his biological mother became Marin's obsession. It is precisely because of this obsession that Marin has been retired three times, and finally returned here.

Speaking of this, the dean sighed. "If he doesn't let go of his obsession, he won't be able to start a new life."

"Lin Sheng, what is your obsession?"

Lin Sheng didn't speak at that time, but he immediately thought of the idea of ​​returning to reality. Is this also an obsession?

Returning to reality is a matter of course in Lin Sheng's eyes, but he still can't understand why obsession becomes the source of pain.

The day after tomorrow, Lin Sheng learned from the woman surnamed Ma that the aunt Marin mentioned came to see him again when he went to the town to seek medical advice.

Lin Shengyi pointed out: "I'm not there every time she comes, what a coincidence."

The woman surnamed Ma was immersed in her own thoughts: "It's a pity, if only she could adopt Marin, she has good character and money, living with such an adoptive mother is not much better than suffering in an orphanage. "

But Marin refused again. Apart from that, he was very cooperative in taking medicine and treating illnesses. Lin Sheng guessed that he wanted to recover soon and continue to look for his mother.

The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts that there will be a torrential rain tonight.

The orphanage is located in a remote place. In order to prevent the heavy rain from washing out the road, Lin Sheng wanted to go to the town to purchase enough supplies before the rainstorm came, and if the road was closed after the rain, the orphanage would not suffer from food shortages.

In the afternoon, after Lin Sheng finished shopping, he looked up and saw that the sky was already covered with overcast clouds.

No, I have to go back quickly.

Lin Sheng rushed back in the rain, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he could hardly see the road ahead, and his feet were slippery, Lin Sheng accidentally fell on the muddy dirt road.

He wiped the rain off his face, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

It turned out that just a few steps ahead of the place where he fell, a deep ditch loomed in front of him. If he hadn't stopped in time just now..., he didn't dare to think about it.

The rain has no intention of stopping for a while, and there is nowhere to take shelter from the rain. Lin Sheng had to take a detour, but it took two hours longer than usual. As he walked, he couldn't help thinking, the rain is so Big, I don't know if everything is alright at the orphanage.

Lin Sheng tried his best and finally returned to the orphanage, but what awaited him was devastated. The heavy rain caused a mountain torrent, which destroyed most of the small building of the orphanage. Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly to find survivors.

Fortunately, Lin Sheng saw some figures from afar. It was the headmaster and a group of children standing on a high ground not far away.They waved their hands this way when they heard Lin Sheng's shout.

The water was gradually coming up, and it was not safe to stand there. Lin Sheng took the thrown rope and tied it to the tree so that they could move to a safe place.

Lin Sheng couldn't wait to confirm: "Are they all there?!"

"It should be all there, the children are all here, let's report the number."

There are five staff members and 43 children in the orphanage, but the dean ordered it twice and one person was missing.

"What's going on here? Who is missing?"

Lin Sheng looked around and tried to name a few names. Suddenly, he remembered something, "It's Marin! Marin is not here!"

The dean showed a terrified expression. The situation was urgent at the time. Although she ordered someone to go to the ward to bring Marin, but everyone was in a hurry and forgot it for a while.

Several staff members were too frightened to move. Although the building not far away was still standing, no one knew when it would collapse. Ma Lin was in a state of desperation for a while, when she saw that Lin Sheng was about to rush towards the orphanage, she immediately stopped him with all her strength.

"Are you crazy!? I can't let you die in vain!"

The flood was raging, and no matter how good the water quality fell into it, it would be impossible to protect itself. It was indeed an unforgivable mistake to omit Marin, but the dean could not let others take another life.

Just when he was at a loss, a dancing light suddenly lit up in the distance. Lin Sheng turned his head and saw that it was the rescue team.

The people beside them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They carried the children into the car one by one. Everyone's hair was already soaked, and the rain dripped down their cheeks without stopping until they boarded the car that was warm and protected from the rain. Fatigue and fear gradually became prominent.

In the orphanage, the young Marin tried his best to climb onto the table. The water level had risen to the level of his stomach. Looking at the dark night outside the window, he gradually understood that no one would come to rescue him.

Marin didn't cry loudly, maybe it was the experience of being abandoned when he was young that made him not so panicked when faced with this situation. He thought of Aunt Qian who always came to see him. Aunt Qian said, when you are at a loss, take a deep breath .

Marin took a deep breath and let it out again, the water level gradually rose to his chest.Tears welled up in his eyes, and for the first time in his life he regretted his decision.

It would have been nice if I followed Aunt Qian back then.

The first time she met Aunt Qian, she happened to meet Marin secretly selling the little wooden horse she made. Aunt Qian didn’t tell the dean, but asked why Marin needed money. Marin told her that she was going to find her mother, Aunt Qian So he bought all his little wooden horses.

Later, Marin heard that Aunt Qian wanted to adopt him, but there will be no further information on this matter. When Aunt Qian came to see him for the last time, she gave him a small package and told him, "If someday you Open this package if you don’t want to find your mother, I can take you away and give you a rich life.”

Marin took a deep breath, then dived to find the package he had hidden under the bed.

Lin Sheng and the dean stayed at the end. They were telling the rescue team about Marin, trying to convince them that they were trying to save the child. At this moment, a white light suddenly lit up, which was in the direction of the orphanage. .

"Something is flashing." Lin Sheng pointed to the light and asked, "Is that Marin?"

The dean took a closer look, and the direction of the light was indeed the room where Marin was.

Marin's eyes were temporarily blinded by the light. In a state of confusion, he could only feel that the water surface was gradually rising above his head. He didn't know if it was too late to open the package now, but he was still dying. last-ditch.

The water level was still rising, squeezing away the last bit of oxygen, but the expected suffocation did not strike. Marin rubbed his eyes, and Aunt Qian stood in front of him impressively.

"Xiao Lin."

Qian Ying came over and touched Marin's head, "You're still here."

Marin's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked around. He was no longer in the orphanage that was destroyed by the flood, and was replaced by a clean, dry and warm room.

"Aunt Qian, where is this?"

Facing this immature child who was [-]% similar to that child in front of her, Qian Ying also had to lament that good fortune tricks others, some people spend all their time and effort, but in the end they make wedding dresses for others.

"Xiaolin, I'm very glad that you finally let go of your obsession. Your mother was forced to give birth to you. Majiacun was a nightmare for her. Although she left you, I hope you don't blame her , This is the real letting go."

"This is the place I want to take you to. This is "Sky Screen". You will live a good life here, but from today onwards, you are no longer the Marin you used to be."

"Aunt Qian needs you to play another little boy, his name is Zhou Muchen."

Ma Lin: "Who is Zhou Muchen?"

"His father was the creator of this place. The child was weak and sick. This place should have been his paradise, but he died. Since then, "Sky Screen" has been haunted by nightmares."

Ma Lin had a half-knowledge, "Why should I play Zhou Muchen? Doesn't his father know that he has already..."

Qian Ying smiled, "Aunt Qian knows that you are smart, don't worry, I will tell you more things in the future, don't be afraid, because sooner or later, "Sky Screen" will become you and me."

Qian Ying and Zhou Muchen (maybe Ma Lin) looked at the electronic clock on the wall in a daze.

"So...he's still gone?"

Ma Lin's voice was a little lonely. He thought that Lin Sheng would stay after going through such a situation. Now that he is gone, there is little hope of seeing him again.

Qian Ying: "Many people think that the nightmare dungeon is called a nightmare because of its difficulty, but it is not the case. Unlike ordinary dungeons, there are no murderous monsters in the nightmare dungeon, only long suffering, but the end of the suffering is not relief, but A reincarnation that never wakes up."

After successfully clearing the nightmare dungeon, the executor’s memory will be deleted, and if the customs clearance fails, the memory will be retained and returned to the “platform”. Therefore, the people in the “platform” are all accidental deaths. They failed to clear the nightmare dungeon, but in Qian Ying It seems that this is another beginning, which makes people reflect on what their life is.

It's a pity that not everyone can jump out. For most people, "returning to reality" has become an instruction deeply imprinted in their minds. They don't know what reality is, but they must go back.

a few minutes ago.

Lin Sheng woke up from the dream, he grabbed it with all his strength, but what he grabbed was the soft bed.

In his residence in "Sky Curtain", Lin Sheng regained his composure.Realizing that he had escaped from that dungeon, he felt mixed feelings for a moment.

Is Marlin dead?Dean, have they reached their destination safely?Everywhere in this dungeon is strange, but it is also unusually real, which made Lin Sheng feel a little dazed for a while.

Angrily, he untied the team red rope on his wrist and threw it on the ground, Qian Ying!I have to ask what happened to Qian Ying!

However, when Lin Sheng opened his mailbox, he saw an unread email from Qian Ying, which arrived just as he had just entered the copy.

"Lin Sheng, when you see this email, you should have returned from the copy. You may be very angry or confused. Regarding everything that happened, I can only say that this is what I want you to know .You are about to return to the nightmare dungeon, and I can't stop it. What I can do for you is to let you know more about the cause and effect. I hope you can wake up from the nightmare as soon as possible."

"Back", "to" nightmare?Is the reality that I want to go back to my heart turned out to be a nightmare?

After reading the email, Lin Sheng wanted to call Qian Ying, but the alarm clock in the house rang.

Everything was as precise as if it had been calculated, Lin Sheng suddenly realized that Qian Ying didn't leave even a second for herself, haha, this woman, he was still played by her after all.

......

He returned to the haunted nightmare with a little awareness of seeing the leopard in the pipe.

Decades later, the aging Lin Sheng was already graying. This life should have been perfect, but unfortunately, because of Qian Ying, his heart was covered with a layer of grayness. If possible, Lin Sheng would rather I have never known all this, just like other people running around without knowing what to do, just like Sisyphus in the myth, as long as the stone still rolls down, he will always have a goal, so as not to get lost in nothingness.
