Chapter 6 WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THI
The moment he opened his eyes, Toby completely lost his ability to judge. It was clear that a few seconds ago it was a dark and quiet barn setting, but now it was dazzling with lights. joyous.There was still a pair of hands intertwined with his fingers, but not so sharp and slender—he found himself embracing and dancing with an Asian girl.This face and this scene seemed familiar.
It's really terrible, but I just lost my mind during filming. What's the situation?I don't know what's going on with the opponent...
Thinking of that one reminded him that they played together many years ago—just like him and the girl in front of him.
This is the set of MrNobody!
——The film that made him suspect that his age is inversely proportional to his scale...
No, to be precise, this is not a set, everyone is naturally playing themselves, except him...
He quickly and reluctantly confirms that he has arrived in the world of the movie he was in as a teenager, taking over the shell of his character.The owner of this body is called Nemo, if he remembers correctly.
There was a small gap in the crowd, and he felt the eyes of the girl in the blue skirt who was hugging the tall man on the other side—another character who might have entanglements with him in the play.
So I vaguely recalled that this dance seemed to be able to lead to three branches of Nemo's life, and there were three choices in front of him, none of which had a happy ending...
Toby himself has seen the movies he acted in, and he also thinks that he is still a thinking person.But he has never been able to understand what kind of ability Nemo has, and what good deeds he has done to experience so many versions of a miserable life? (The only one who passed away smoothly without his participation...) Are those fantasies, reality in parallel time and space, or memories accumulated from life to life?
"Let's rest for a while before dancing, and have some drinks over there." He accidentally stepped on the foot of his partner, and he smiled shyly in return, and pushed him to the side.
According to the plot, the dead child Nemo has probably decided to marry the first girl to dance with him at this time, and the other two possibilities are related to the girl in the blue skirt.
He is not Nemo, he has other choices; but he is not Nemo, he cannot choose more, and he has no chance to rewind.
After all, what good did he do?
He doesn't want to choose, he just wants to go back.
Go back and honestly finish filming the tricks, honestly squat at home, and never hold other people's hands casually anymore!
Thinking fiercely, the fragile glass in his hand shattered without warning, and under the cover of the surrounding noise, it hardly stirred up the slightest waves.
"Nemo, are you alright? Nemo?" The girl in the yellow skirt called in his ear somewhat flusteredly.
He held up his hand to look at it under the light, his fingers covered with glass shards were intact, and he never touched the palm of the cup, but there was a scratch where the flesh was turned out, and the blood was dry but painful—this was not the special effect makeup he put on before. ?Why does it seem to be cut on the hand.
Through the gap between his fingers, suddenly, he met a pair of eyes.The owner of the eyes has deep outlines and sharp edges and corners, and a few strands of blond hair float under the brim of the black hoodie.A few minutes ago they were...
Mr Bower? !He almost cried out.
So he's here too?What role is he playing?But I don't remember that there was such a person in the crew at that time?Never be an irrelevant nobody...
"Nemo, what are you looking at? There's no one there..." The girl moved closer, "Ah—your hand hurt!"
nobody!Could it be that only he can see it?In any case, you have to ask him first, maybe you can find a way out?
"It's okay... But I may have to go home first... I'm really sorry!"
Having made up his mind, Toby stood up and tried his best to push through the crowd. Through the swaying figures, he found that the guy had companions—a hot and beautiful girl and a handsome and fit boy were holding down a man whose face could not be seen clearly. , and then that Mr Bower simply slashed across with a knife without any psychological pressure...
As soon as God walked in, there was no one left.
It was really just an illusion... Toby didn't know how he floated out of the ballroom.
When the cool night wind was blowing on his face, he realized that he had nowhere to go—movies were just some fragments of this world, and the whole world was completely foreign to him—he didn’t even know Nemo’s Where is home, need to ride a motorcycle, it seems quite far.Maybe I should have stayed with that girl just now, at least I could have a place to stay tonight.
Looking back, he thought it should be the prom, but he didn't expect that the ballroom had such a weird name as Pandemonium Club—it wasn't like a place Nemo would go to.
Leaving the bustling bar street, the road is pitch black, and the lights of the houses are mostly off.Turning another street corner, among a row of beautiful little houses, there was finally a window that was still lit.Toby thought that maybe he could find a family to stay overnight first, and then make plans tomorrow. This generation seems to be at least a decent family.
Just as he was thinking this way, the window exploded...
Toby was dumbfounded.
The lights dimmed all of a sudden, followed by the sound of hasty footsteps, the lights downstairs turned on, and with a crackling sound, the lights downstairs turned off.A girl with a delicate face protruded from the dark window frame, but her face was covered with blood and a viscous black liquid, giving people a very bad feeling.The girl threw a card in front of him involuntarily.
"Go on! Get out of here! Run as far as you can! Please..." The long red hair hung down lifelessly.
Toby felt that, as a good citizen, he should at least call the police for help or something, if possible.But instinctively, he thought maybe it was better to listen to the girl and run quickly.He picked up the card and turned around before he could take a closer look, but it was too late...
A monster that looked like a giant octopus squeezed out from the broken window frame, and slapped him stickily with blood-stained tentacles, blinking close to its throat.
He hurriedly retreated and dodged to the side, and before he even stepped on his foot, he was hooked by another tentacle that came one after another. The spike easily tore off the leg of his trousers and pierced into the flesh, and he fell to the ground immediately.
Fortunately, it was the grass by the side of the road... Such a self-defeating thought flashed in my mind... Anyway, it's going to be a lot!
...what on earth did I do?Obviously I haven't done anything yet!
Several terrifying tentacles slapped it head on with the whistling sound of wind.
Then the next second, there was a sudden silence.
alright?This is dead?
Turning his head, the monster suddenly dissipated like smoke, only the tall and slender man in black was cleaning a crystal-clear sharp blade calmly, like a shadow under the moonlight.
This is……?
He simply slumped on the ground in embarrassment, glanced at the man secretly, watching the man lift his hat casually, and stroked the unruly blond hair on his forehead.
Isn't this Mr Bower who was filming with him not long ago?But what's going on with stabbing people at the bar and the calm and breezy cloud just fighting monsters...
Toby thought, whether it is or not, even though he just saved him, it is better not to speak indiscriminately.Suddenly, I really hope to have Nemo's ability, whether it is multi-directional choice, predicting the future or going back to the past.
Now, he chooses to lie on his stomach and continue to pretend to be dead...
