Zhang Heng once again saw the pictures he saw in the emergency room.
He didn't know how long these pictures stayed in his mind, and he couldn't understand the meaning behind these pictures, or they didn't have any meaning... just some meaningless sleep talk, and when he opened his eyes again, it was I saw the familiar ceiling.
The fourth round of dreams
Zhang Heng recalled what happened before. He only remembered that he seemed to have been tricked by Hypnos and fell into a coma. What happened after that was out of his memory.
But soon he discovered something different. He unexpectedly saw Han Lu who had been missing in the previous rounds of dreams, lying beside him.
Shen Xixi, who was lying on the stool not far away, also opened his eyes when he heard the movement, rubbed his eyes, and said pleasantly, "You're awake, that's great."
"Where are we?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Han Lu's home." Shen Xixi raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, we have left her dreamland."
"Um?"
"About the third round of dreams, the situation at that time was very bad. Almost the whole city was full of Smith from the Matrix. In order to protect me and retreat, Li Bai sacrificed."
"he died?"
"No, what I mean is that he did die in Han Lu's dream and was transformed by Smith, but for him in the real world, he just retreated from Han Lu's dream, but your situation is rather strange "Shen Xixi said, "Han Lu woke up after the third round, and then we... all woke up, but you were still in a coma. I tried to call your name in your ear, and patted your cheek Cheek, but you still haven’t woken up, for safety’s sake, I didn’t use more drastic techniques, so are you okay now? Do you have any discomfort in your body.”
"Wait, we're in the real world now, and you said Han Lu woke up once?"
"Yes, she is the only one who woke up after being cursed by [Dream of Death], and she seems to be fine at the moment, but she is a bit too sleepy after not sleeping for several days, and the one hour of sleep before was obviously not enough , so we gave her a simple check and let her continue to sleep."
"How did you defeat Hypnos?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Uh, this is actually the question I want to ask you." Shen Xixi said, "In the previous few dreams, there were very serious and abnormal disasters in each round, and we speculate that those disasters may be related to [Dream of Death] , so while looking for Han Lu, I tried to find a way to solve those disasters, but unfortunately there was no progress on our side for the time being, and then I suddenly woke up."
"Where's the rabbit?" Zhang Heng asked.
"After confirming that Han Lu is fine, I asked the two of them to go back first," Shen Xixi said, "Especially Rabbit, she is a senior in high school this year, and she is usually very busy with homework. What's the matter, is there anything you can do with Rabbit?"
"Have you seen her in these rounds of dreams?"
"Yes, we met in the first round of dreams, and when the tsunami happened, I hid in the TV station building with her." Shen Xixi paused, "Why did you ask her?"
"I met Shupnos in the second round. He approached me disguised as a rabbit and wanted me to take him to find Han Lu. I was only slightly suspicious of him at that time, but we met again in the third round. He has a showdown." Zhang Heng said.
"Are you alone?" Shen Xixi raised his eyebrows, "It's too risky. Hypenos is the god of sleep, and dreams are his home field. He will be very difficult to deal with here."
"Sorry, he seems to be able to pretend to be someone else in his dream at will, I don't know what he will look like next time we meet again." Zhang Heng said, "I don't know anyone else who can be trusted, so I can only Choose a quick fight."
"It's understandable. If I were in your position, I'd probably do the same. How did you get him to give up attacking Han Lu?"
"I don't know, we were surrounded by Smith, and then he took out a harmonica. Anyone who heard the melody fell down, including me, so I asked you what happened after that." Zhang Hengdao.
"I haven't met him from the beginning to the end, and the others are the same, unless he was briefly disguised as one of us as you said." Shen Xixi thought for a while and then shook his head. "But this possibility is unlikely, plus We have been together for a while in the experience of the last dungeon, Hypnos thought it would not be so easy to replace one of us without knowing it, so could it be that he gave up by himself? But there has never been such a thing before It happened, otherwise [Dream of Death] wouldn’t make so many people worry.”
Zhang Heng and Shen Xixi have already exchanged information about entering the dream, but the result was disappointing. Not only did they not find out what happened afterwards, but it made more and more mysteries. The two still don't know how Han Lu survived. After the curse, why did Hypnos let them go when he had an absolute advantage.
Zhang Heng glanced at Han Lu who was still sound asleep, and said to Shen Xixi, "Can I ask you something?"
The latter understood without waiting for Zhang Heng to continue, "Don't worry, my people and I will not disclose this matter to others, so that she will not be targeted by other players, and no one will disturb her." she."
Shen Xixi smiled wryly as she spoke, "And it seems that this is an accident. We haven't been able to find a stable solution to the dream of death, and we can't use this method to save other people, so... just pretend nothing happened. Let's go."
"No, thanks to your help this time, if you hadn't contacted me and brought that item, we wouldn't be able to enter Han Lu's dream. She is probably dead like everyone else now." Zhang Heng said .
"You have thanked me more than once." Shen Xixi said, "As I said before, I am just doing what I have been doing..." She paused and said, "I still hope that players can There can be a clearer code of conduct and a self-restraint mechanism in time to gather everyone's strength and protect ordinary people from the threat of supernatural forces. If you are also interested in these, you are welcome to join us at any time."
"I will consider it." Zhang Heng said.
Shen Xixi stood up from the chair, "It's almost dawn, I'll go to school first, you?"
"I'll wait for her to wake up and say goodbye to her before leaving." Zhang Heng said, but he couldn't help but look out of the window. There, the sky was slightly pale. This time, there was indeed no such weird cloud. It also confirmed that he had indeed returned to reality.
"See you at the school." Shen Xixi got up and said.
