Because of a terrible nightmare, the octopus did not sleep all night. It was not that he couldn't sleep, but that he did not dare to sleep anymore. He really didn't want to experience the suffocating fear in the nightmare again.

Relying on his youthful health and the foundation laid by exercise, not sleeping all night is not a difficult task for the octopus. However, after enduring the night of insomnia due to nightmares, he felt unprecedented fatigue, which was a kind of fatigue that originated from the depths of his soul. When he worked during the day, he was lazy all day as if he was sleepwalking, and he was haggard like a hemiplegia patient who had been in bed for many years. Even so, he forced himself to hold on for the whole day without closing his eyes.

Although Octopus' colleagues were very surprised by the changes that had happened to him, they didn't care after asking twice. Octopus was in good health and never found any problems in the physical examination. Everyone thought he had not had a good rest. The day passed, and it was night again, and Octopus was lying on the bed in the dormitory and tossed and turned.

He didn't want to sleep, for fear of having that terrible nightmare again, but the extreme feeling of fatigue came, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

The octopus found himself in a strange place, as if he was in the deserted mountains, and he was walking on a rugged path. There was a rich blue smoke around the path, making it impossible to see what was on both sides of the road. He walked in a daze, mechanically walking along the path, walking. He had no idea why he appeared here, nor did he understand why he had to keep walking.

I don't know how long I walked, the octopus suddenly heard someone crying, and a faint crying sound came out of the fog intermittently. He walked slowly along the sound and found that a little girl in red was squatting on the ground crying. The little girl's face was hidden in the fog, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly. Her shoulders were twitching, and she looked very sad to cry.

"Little sister, why are you crying? Why are your adults in your family not caring about you?" Octopus asked gently.

The little girl just lowered her head and cried, not paying attention to the octopus at all. He stood aside and waited quietly for a while. Seeing that the little girl had no intention of speaking, she had to sit next to her and comfort her in a low voice: "Little sister, don't cry. Are there any sad things? Can you tell me if I can help you?"

The little girl reluctantly stopped sobbing and said without raising her head: "Are you really willing to help me?"

Her voice was strange, not as crisp as an ordinary little girl, but somewhat similar to an old lady in her seventies and eighties. The octopus was startled by her voice, and after coming back to her senses, she said affirmatively: "Of course I am willing, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help. Tell me, what is so sad?"

The little girl raised her head and the octopus saw her blue and white face. Her black pupils almost covered her entire eye sockets, and there was no white eye at all. She said to the octopus expressionlessly: "Since this is the case, I am very hot and painful, so you can take me for a while."

The octopus didn't know what the little girl meant, so he asked in confusion: "Why is it hot and painful? How do I want to do it for you?"

A stiff smile appeared on the little girl's face, and then the skin on her face began to fall off, and then the flesh on her body began to fall down piece by piece, revealing pale bones. Her lower jaw without flesh was still talking one by one: "Come on, come on for me and you will know."

The octopus was frightened by the little girl's strange and terrifying appearance, and his whole body was trembling like a sieve. He stuttered: "You...you...you...you are not human, you are a ghost!"

"Sizi..."

This strange sound rang around, and then the octopus felt a spontaneous. When he regained his consciousness, he found himself sitting in an iron basin. The iron basin was very large, with half a basin of water inside. The temperature of the water was a little low. He soaked in the water and felt cold all over. He tried to crawl out of the water, but after moving his hands and feet, he suddenly realized that he had become a dentist baby! His hands and feet were short and fat, and despite his hard work, it was impossible to crawl out of the basin.

The octopus was very frightened by the changes that happened to him. He opened his mouth to speak, but the sound from his mouth was a babbling voice, and he couldn't understand what he was saying. However, when he heard the movement of his tossing water basin, an adult's face appeared outside the basin, a carefree woman.

The woman frowned and touched the octopus's little head, muttering, "Baby, what are you talking about? Mom can't understand you."

The octopus waved his arms hard, trying to attract the woman's attention. He slapped the cold water in the basin hard, and the splashed water hit the woman's face. The woman suddenly realized her mind and said in surprise: "Oh, my baby thinks the water is too cold? The baby is so good and smart! He also knows to complain to his mother. Haha, don't make trouble, baby, you heard from the mother that the water heater is broken. Mom lights a charcoal fire under the basin, and the water will get hot in a while. When the water is hot, mom will give you a bath. Don't be in a hurry, okay?"

The octopus screamed anxiously, but the woman smiled and shook her head, touched his little head and turned away. The octopus closed his mouth helplessly, looked around, hoping to find something that would help him. The iron basin was very big and was hung up in the air. The octopus' head could barely be exposed from the iron basin, and his vision could not cross the edge of the iron basin. He tried to stand up while holding the edge of the basin, but after working hard for a long time, his hands and feet were not obedient at all. After struggling in the water for a long time, the octopus was tired. He was now a baby who couldn't stand up, and he was pitiful. The little baby's sleepiness came quickly, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

In a daze, the octopus seemed to hear the woman talking, and he woke up with a tremor. The woman answered the phone and seemed to be quarreling with people on the phone. He mentioned words such as vixen and mistress many times in his words. After a while, the woman threw the phone to the ground with a snap, and then she heard the sound of her snatching the door. After the door rang, the room became quiet.

Based on the experience of the octopus, he could judge that the woman must have received a call from her husband that she would not go home. She ran out so anxiously, and probably caught the adulterer. However, she went out in such a panic and threw her child into the basin, which shows how careless the woman was. Thinking of this, the octopus suddenly felt something was wrong. When the woman went out, she would be the only one left in the house?

The baby who could not stand up was placed in an iron basin, filled with water. As the woman said just now, there was a charcoal fire under the iron basin?

The octopus felt creepy all over his body! If things were really like what he thought, wouldn’t it be like a huge tragedy? It turned out that he would come whatever he thought. As soon as he thought of the worst result, he immediately felt that the water temperature was rising. The temperature of the water was rising little by little. It was a bit cold, but now it was warm and comfortable.

The octopus really hoped that the water temperature would remain cold. He would rather be frozen than let the water heat up. But things went against his wishes. The temperature of the water kept rising. Although it was slow, it was very stable. He began to struggle hard, and he used all his strength to crash into the iron basin, but the iron basin did not move at all. It seemed that the reinforcement measures were taken.

After struggling for a long time, there was no effect. At this time, the octopus felt that the temperature of the water had begun to get a little hot. His face was full of anxiety and a shrill scream came from his mouth, but only his echo was in the quiet room.

The water gets hotter and hotter, that is the temperature of death.

The octopus felt a sense of despair and fear. He still wanted to climb out of the basin hard, but the iron basin was already burned. His little hands were pressed on it and immediately became very hot. He sat in the basin and felt a burst of pain on his butt. He was whispering hard in the water, screaming constantly, but it had no effect.

The temperature of the water was still rising, and no one came in the room. The careless woman didn't know where she went, and seemed to have forgotten the baby in the basin.

The water was already burned and splashed with water. What the octopus felt was unprecedented pain at this time. Is there anything more painful in the world than this? His skin began to bulge piece by piece, and then the bulging water bubbles broke under his painful scratch, and the skin on his body was scratched and sucked. His flesh began to turn white, which was cooked white, and the flesh began to melt, and the bones inside could be seen clearly.

His voice began to hoarsely, and his movements became smaller and smaller. Until the end, he gradually disappeared, and only the water in the iron basin was still splashing with water.

After a long time, the charcoal fire under the iron basin seemed to burn out, and the water in the iron basin gradually cooled down. However, the little life in it could never stand up.

The door of the room was kicked open with a bang, and the carefree woman rushed in. She hurriedly walked to the edge of the iron basin and took a look, then sat down to the ground, and shouted in a daze, "My baby daughter, what's wrong with you?"

As she looked over, she saw pieces of bones floating in the big iron basin, as well as some oily things, as if they were internal organs. The baby in the iron basin was actually cooked and melted. All the flesh was boiled into oil, leaving only small bones floating in the iron basin.
