Chapter 31 An answer that is not an answer

Many things will gradually fade away as time goes by, or be selectively forgotten.

For example, Chu Yu became a doomed star.

Six years ago, after graduating from high school, I received a call and rushed back to my hometown. Within a month, my entire family was wiped out!

After those accidents happened, Chu Yu had a very strange feeling for a long time.

Logically speaking, anyone who encounters such a thing will collapse. Even if they don't collapse, they will at least doubt their life or be sad for a while.

But Chu Yu really couldn't feel sad.

It was as if those relatives and those childhood memories about them were forcibly implanted into his brain by someone. Even if he wanted to be sad, he couldn't feel sad. It was as if he was coldly watching the life trajectory of others.

As time passed, Chu Yu gradually stopped worrying about this matter.

As human beings, we should always look forward.

When he saw Chu Fugui, those past events came to his mind again, especially the fact that the other party knew that he had a nightmare some time ago and that he was being chased in the nightmare.

But then, Chu Yu quickly accepted this fact.

It seemed normal that the second uncle knew his secret, and he was not surprised at all.

Having lived for more than 20 years, he has met many different kinds of people, but if he were to ask who is the most bizarre one among them, the second uncle Chu Fugui would definitely be the first.

For many years, Chu Yu has always had a question in his mind, that is, why his second uncle is going further and further on the road to death.

It would be understandable if other people had such strange behavior, but his second uncle was not an ordinary person, let alone a social idler. You have to know that Chu Fugui is a senior talent with the title of physicist professor, and it is said that he had rejected the invitation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Chu Yu's youth was also the period when he had the most contact with Chu Fugui.

The first time he smoked, the first time he visited the red-light district, the first time he cheated his mother of money, the first time he fought, etc., were almost all instigated by Chu Fugui.

Even though Chu Fugui is so unreliable, Chu Yu still believes that Chu Fugui is the smartest person he has ever met, no doubt about it.

What's more, Chu Fugui just revealed his "secret".

You have to know that he only mentioned the nightmare to Meng Yong briefly, and the latter might not believe it.

Chu Fugui still had that nonchalant look on his face, with his legs crossed and swaying, taking a puff of cigarette from time to time, looking at Chu Yu with a half-smile, a sense of meanness in his meanness, and a bit of meanness in his meanness. This kind of mean and mean temperament was natural, and he would easily get beaten if he went out.

Chu Yu's heart was no longer calm, his chest began to rise and fall. After taking a deep breath, he sat down opposite Chu Fugui, lit a cigarette as well, took a deep breath, frowned, and spoke slowly.

"Second uncle, have you... eaten?"

Chu Fugui was stunned for a moment, then started cursing.

"Fuck, I thought you were going to ask me some fucking question. It's already this late, and so many things have happened, and you asked me if I had eaten first when you saw me?"

Chu Yu looked helpless.

He does have a lot of problems.

Why did the other person come back to life, and why did he know that he had been having nightmares, including the accidents that happened to his relatives two years ago, and so on.

But when the question came to his lips, he swallowed it back.

Because he knew Chu Fugui too well.

No one in this world can force this old guy to do something he doesn't want to do.

If the other person wants to say something, he or she will say it even if you don't ask.

If Chu Fugui keeps silent, it will be useless even if a knife is placed on his neck.

What's more, he could see Chu Fugui's anxiety, even though the other party hid it well.

Perhaps everything will have a final answer today.

Although Chu Yu was used to and accepted the mysterious deaths of his relatives six years ago, he never thought it was an accident or a coincidence, and he didn't believe that his nightmares were without reason.

Seeing that Chu Yu stopped talking, Chu Fugui smiled.

"That's fine. The more you know, the more confused you become. No matter how hard you struggle, it's meaningless to this universe."

Chu Yu curled his lips and said nothing.

Since childhood, Chu Fugui always said things that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, or in other words, crazy things.

Chu Fugui put out his cigarette, yawned, and said calmly, "You'd better keep a low profile in the future, and don't let NH company target you 'in advance'."

"NH Company?!" Chu Yu's expression changed drastically. "Are you talking about the NH Company that caused the world to become doomsday in my nightmare?"

Chu Fugui reached into his bosom, took out a small black booklet, and threw it to Chu Yu, "Blacklist, take a look for yourself."

Chu Yu opened the small black book with a confused look on his face.

The notebook was filled with names, densely packed, from China and abroad. A quick glance showed nearly a hundred names.

There is only a name, no other information, not even an indication of gender.

When he turned to the last page, Chu Yu's eyes widened. "Wang Fan, Fang Musheng? How could their names be there?"

"What do you think?"

Chu Yu slowly raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "Are these names, like Wang Fan and Fang Musheng, related to supernatural events?"

"Hehe, you're not that stupid." Chu Fugui laughed , "Freak, lunatic, humanoid creatures, energy life forms, anyway, anything mentioned above is related to supernatural events."

After Chu Fugui finished speaking, he paused and looked at Chu Yu deeply with his cloudy eyes, "Find them and kill them all. If you don't kill them, they will help NH Company to kill us!"

Chu Yu was shocked. "Second uncle, please don't joke with me. You suddenly showed up and gave me a broken book, and then asked me to kill someone. This is ridiculous."

"Nonsense?" Chu Fugui sneered, "If you don't kill them, they will kill you. You won't be able to rest in peace for the next thirty years. If that time comes, don't say I didn't warn you. I will kill you countless times in my dreams and you will wake up, but in reality, you will die once you die. There is no resurrection, and you won't wake up in bed after shouting "Oh my God". There is no so-called law of conservation of energy. Everything disappears from the body to the soul. Do you understand?"

Chu Yu was stunned. After a moment, he took a breath and looked at the small black notebook.

"You mean, I was killed by these people in my dream?"

Chu Fugui nodded.

"No way, it's scary enough that they killed me in my dream, but they're going to kill me in reality too?" Chu Yu couldn't accept it for a moment. "Second uncle, don't be ridiculous. Those...those are just dreams, right? Will the world really become the end of the world in thirty years?"

It’s not that Chu Yu couldn’t accept it, but that he didn’t dare to believe it.

Because the end of the world in the dream was so terrifying.

Chu Fugui cursed angrily like a string of cannonballs, "I worked so hard to come back from... from a faraway place, and injected you with serum and antibodies, and hid your whereabouts. I also made a prototype memory machine for you, just to make you adapt to the crises you will face in the future. And you thought those were just ordinary nightmares?"

Ever since Chu Fugui started speaking, the amount of information he brought was so overwhelming that Chu Yu was completely confused.

Serum, antibodies, memory prototype, hiding one's whereabouts, etc. He had no idea what these meant.

After being stunned for a moment, Chu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Can you explain it in one sentence? Preferably within 100 words."

"What a complete idiot!" Chu Fugui said angrily, "In thirty years, the world will be doomed. The population explosion has led to a shortage of resources, which has ignited the fuse for the world-destroying war. Anyway, this fucked-up world will become more and more devastated and out of control..."

Chu Fugui paused halfway through his speech and looked at Chu Yu suspiciously, "That's not right. You must have seen these scenes in your dreams. Could it be that the data of the memory prototype is missing?"

Chu Yu smiled bitterly. Of course he remembered the scene in his dream, and he remembered it very clearly.

There is also a mature world structure in dreams. As Chu Fugui said, it is indeed a very fucked up world.

The concept of the nation has become blurred, and there is no boundary between morality and law. After several major world crises, the population has dropped by more than 90%. In a nutshell, the world in the dream is a wasteland apocalypse.

Chu Yu raised his head and looked at Chu Fugui, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

If the future apocalypse is reflected in one's own dreams, then this means that in thirty years, the real world will gradually collapse and eventually become the apocalypse irreversibly?

Chu Fugui stood up, with a complex look in his eyes, "For a long time, the reason why you couldn't see the darkness was not because there was no darkness, but because someone tried their best to block the darkness in a place you couldn't see. What happens next can only depend on you."

Chu Fugui's words were very profound, at least Chu Yu didn't understand them.

Chu Fugui opened his mouth but didn't say anything else. He sighed and said, "I can only help you one last time. You must be clean and efficient in the future. Don't rely on luck. If you die, there will be no hope for this world."

"Clean and neat?" Chu Yu suddenly said, "It was you, you attacked Fang Musheng, right!"

Since the second uncle knew the content of his nightmare, the cause of the nightmare was very likely related to Chu Fugui. If we infer further, then the other party must know how to cause locked-in syndrome!

"Nonsense, if I don't attack him, he will definitely mention you to NH Company." Chu Fugui turned his head to look at the clock behind him, waved his hand and said , "Time is running out, you can check it yourself. If there is no big deviation in the history, NH Company will target you in a month. Be careful. Remember, those on the blacklist must be killed without mercy!"

"Then you shouldn't look for me. It would be better to look for our unit. Our unit specializes in dealing with supernatural incidents."

"Your unit?" Chu Fugui, who was about to leave, turned around and said with a hint of disdain on his face, "They are the only ones who can handle supernatural events? The establishment of the Public Affairs Safety Supervisory Commission is just to protect you. Don't think too highly of these people. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself!"

Seeing that the old guy was about to leave, Chu Yu was not willing to let him go, so he quickly followed him out. As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw two patrol cars driving up to the entrance of the corridor. As for Chu Fugui, he sneaked along the wall, like a thief, and sneaked out of the community with his back hunched.

Seeing the patrolman coming over, Chu Yu was unable to chase Chu Fugui and stood at the door, confused.

"Hello, we are from the West Street Security Office." The patrolman stood in front of Chu Yu and took out a photo. "Have you seen this person?"

Chu Yu glanced at the photo and cursed in his heart.

The old man in the photo is undoubtedly Chu Fugui.

"No...never seen him. Is this old guy a wanted criminal?"

"Several electric bikes were lost in the neighborhood next door. We found the suspect through surveillance investigation." After the policeman put away the photos, he handed Chu Yu a business card and continued, "If you see this person, please contact me. Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll let you know after I see that old bastard." Chu Yu was full of disappointment. He would have accepted Chu Fugui as a wanted criminal, but it turned out to be because of stealing batteries. Isn't this too cheap?

"Okay then. Goodbye."

Chu Yu cursed his mother again, and after returning to the house, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

No wonder Chu Fugui said that time was running out, it turned out that the police came to his door.

If anyone else, even an elementary school student, told him that the world would be destroyed in thirty years, Chu Yu would probably believe it.

But Chu Yu really couldn't accept what an old rascal who stole electric bikes said to him.

Back in the house, Chu Yu picked up the small black book again, looked at the densely packed names on it, and frowned deeply.
