You Yu half-drooped his eyelids, and the knife in his hand glowed dangerously cold as he played with it.
The air froze instantly, and the bonfire crackled in the airless silence.
"Who wants to be the first to experience it?" You Yu seemed to smile.
His voice was low, but it was enough to make everyone's scalp tingle with nervousness. For the time being, no one dared to act rashly, waiting for others to test the bottom line of this arrogant and terrifying guy.
Hei Cha had an idea and immediately warned everyone: "This guy is a crazy dream maker. I have seen his perverted methods several times, and we can't afford it..."
After all, in the eyes of sleepwalkers, dreammakers are the privileged class that can decide their life and death, the maintainers and enforcers of the rules of the entire nightmare world, and the existence they cannot question and resist.
The bald man just looked at You Yu from top to bottom again: "Are you really a dream maker?"
Before You Yu spoke, Pei Mo, who had been standing by the side to watch the battle, said with a trembling voice: "It's true... I happened to meet him in the last instance before I died... The method is really terrible... Don't provoke it..."
The bald man stared at the shadow stretched by the bonfire on the ground and was silent for a moment, then suddenly stared straight at You Yu and said, "Dream maker, so what?"
Hearing the bald head's arrogant tone, Pei Mo suddenly felt bad, and silently moved aside to avoid being affected.
"As far as I know, we were pulled back into the ruined sub-city because the dream-making system collapsed due to a serious bug. When the system is paralyzed, what is the difference between the dream-making and us?" The bald man squinted slightly. Raising his eyes, the corners of his lips raised a mocking smile, "Now you are just a system lackey who has lost his combat effectiveness and has been abandoned, am I right?"
Everyone looked at the bald head in disbelief. Although his words made the people who were oppressed by the dream-makers feel relieved, the situation was not yet clear, and they would never dare to provoke the dream-makers easily.
Unexpectedly, You Yu, who was scolded as a lackey, tutted his tut tut, "Sir, please pay attention to your words—"
The bald man didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and flew out towards You Yu in a fierce and mighty manner.
He despised this dream-maker who looked gentle, had no combat skills, and seemed to only use system privileges to play with them. Relying on his being a trainer in the real world, he wanted to put them on the ground for a long time. A beating to loosen the muscles and bones to relieve the breath.
Now that the system is broken, the authority of the dream maker must be greatly restricted, otherwise the other party will not be able to threaten the hunter to find clues to break the game.
Since everyone is equal now, it is better to take this opportunity to teach each other a lesson and clear up old and new hatreds.
The bald man used all his strength, barely giving the other party any time to react, and kicked towards You Yu swiftly and cunningly.
You Yu stood in place and put on his gloves in an orderly manner. Chi Nan looked at his half-shaded face, and saw a little impatience in his quiet expression.
Seeing that the bald man was about to kick You Yu, Yu Yu, who was standing still, not only dodged and avoided, but at the same time used gloves to restrain the bald shoulder, and with all his strength, he kicked the back of his kneecap with all his strength. .
One was caught off guard, the bald man jumped in the air, and was easily kicked to the ground by You Yu. At the same time, both his shoulders and hand bones were also broken by You Yu.
He struggled a few times to continue fighting, but unfortunately You Yu was far ahead of him in both skill and strength, and soon broke several of his ribs and ankles.
The screams echoed through the narrow shelter, making the scalp tingle.
Everyone stared at the bald head paralyzed on the ground, with tears and snot running down his face in pain. A layer of cold sweat appeared on the backs of the sleepwalkers who had previously shouted to kill Chi Nan, and their voices were stuck in their throats and could no longer come out. .
Chi Nan looked at Ruirui and Ruirui's mother who was stunned in place, and covered her eyes with her hands to signal. Ruirui's mother immediately reacted and hugged her daughter to block her eyes, preventing her from continuing to watch the bloody and violent scene.
You Yu disliked the noise of the bald man's scream, and took off his gloves and stuffed it directly into the guy's mouth.
He looked down at the bald man who was twitching in pain, and said in a low voice, "What? When you're full, you have the strength to beat people?"
Naturally, the bald-headed man couldn't answer him, only his chest heaved violently and his face was covered in water and pain.
You Yu looked at him with disdain, only smiled slightly and raised his eyes to look at the crowd: "Who wants to try it?"
No one dared to make a sound anymore. Hei Cha felt that 229 was terrifying, but also relieved Chi Nan.
Although this perverted dream maker is crazy, he can see that he is really good to Chi Nan.
"This is just an appetizer," You Yu continued calmly, "If you still want to experience the main meal and dessert, I will accompany you to the end."
Everyone: "… "
"After all, you are the customers of Dream World, and I serve the system and should meet all the needs of customers. After the system returns to normal order, I can bring you more surprises," You Yu put on another pair of clean Gloves, walked to Chi Nan and held his hand, "So, don't be polite to me."
Chi Nan's hand was held by him: "Thank you."
You Yu showed him a different gentle smile than before: "I said it, you're welcome."
"Let's go." You Yu dragged Chi Nan towards the safe passage of the shelter.
They are no longer suitable to stay in the sanctuary, and You Yu wants to take his 'lord god' away.
After all, staying with monsters and evil spirits is much safer than this group of humans.
Although monsters don't think so...
"Chi Nan, I'm with you," Hei Cha knew that the two were not deserters, but returned to the ground to find a way to break the game other than killing the Lord God, and hurriedly chased after him, "I can take care of it if there is any danger..."
Chi Nan: "It's okay, we can handle it, you'll be safer in the shelter."
Hei Cha shook his head: "No, you can't take risks every time, I..."
You Yu turned around and said, "Are you coming over to be a light bulb?"
Black Tea: "..." He was stunned and cracked open, speechless.
Although he knew that 229 said so, he obeyed Chi Nan's wishes and considered his safety.
Chi Nan instructed: "If there are monsters trying to invade, the liquid in your kettle can handle it."
Hei Cha scratched his neck in confusion: "Then... is there anything else I can do?"
You Yu: "Be optimistic about the people here, don't make trouble for us, and wait for our news."
Hei Cha moved his lips, and finally swallowed his worries back into his stomach and nodded.
"Chi Nan, if I can successfully wake up this time, I hope... No... I'll try my best not to forget you again."
Black Tea said in a hurry, and stuttered.
Now that he has the memory of returning to reality, he knows that in another sober world, he once completely forgot about Chi Nanche.
Everything is going smoothly, life is flat and moving forward as wished, only occasionally when I wake up from a late night dream, I feel inexplicably lost, as if I have forgotten a very important friend.
He knew all too well that feeling of powerlessness over memory.
Chi Nan turned his head, but his calm look and tone gave him the power to comfort him: "It's okay, I'll find you."
His promise is the same as his own, light, but it won't make people feel perfunctory.
"I'll fix it too."
Chi Nan said, some other emotions flashed across the green eyes.
Black Tea nodded vigorously: "I believe you."
…
The temperature on the ground dropped a lot again.
The green moonlight shrouded the ruined Zicheng. There were neither hunting teams nor monsters around. Only the thin snow drifted down from the night sky, and the entire Doomsday City seemed quieter under the thin snow.
Not knowing when the snow fell, Chi Nan stretched out his hand towards Xuexu, unexpectedly not feeling cold.
The snow flakes melted into a small pool of water in the palm of his hand, dyed by the moonlight into an unreal-looking green.
Soon, Chi Nan felt that the backs of his hands, shoulders, and cheeks were all wet from falling snow.
You Yu looked at him through the fine snow and the moonlight, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Why are you crying?" You Yu asked Chi Nan, his voice was a little heavy, and was instantly stirred by the wind mixed with snow, which didn't sound very real.
"Huh?" Chi Nan blinked his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream, and suddenly found that his upper and lower eyelashes were sticking wetly.
He raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. He didn't remember what he was thinking just now, and he didn't know how the tears flowed. Some kind of unspeakable emotion was suppressed in his chest. He thought, this is probably what people call sadness.
But what is he upset about? he does not know.
"What's the matter...?" Chi Nan murmured, seemingly overwhelmed by the uncontrollable tears.
You Yu had already taken out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away his tears.
"Is the bug in Zicheng related to me?" Chi Nan looked at You Yu with wet eyes, his voice was a little hoarse, like someone who just woke up from a dream.
You Yu's movements stopped slightly: "Right now, I can't answer this question."
At that time, he decided to let Pei Mo use the Apocalypse. In addition to wanting to quickly determine the way to break the game, he was also selfish.
As a dream maker, you need to closely monitor sleepwalkers that cause serious bugs in the system, and take emergency measures if necessary to prevent the existence of possible threats, such as obliterating sleepwalkers who can create bugs.
What 207 didn't say when he was at the dawn base, You Yu clearly understood it.
It is no coincidence that the moon has the same color as Chi Nan's eyes after entering the sub-city that was destroyed by a bug.
Why was Chi Nan sealed in "The Crying Boy"? Why does the main system keep concealing the existence of this painting? What is Chi Nan's real identity? If the system really wants to erase "The Crying Boy", why did it pull Chi Nan into the dream world again
These self-contradictory questions may be answered in this bug.
The task of the surviving sleepwalkers is to "kill the main god". The so-called main god is full of hints and metaphors. Youyu must find the truth of the identity of the "main god".
Although he was inexplicably afraid of this truth, he was never one to run away because of fear.
Only by knowing the truth can a solution be found. You Yu believes this.
Moreover, he is now trapped in the collapsed Zicheng and has completely lost contact with the outside world. Even if he really finds something at this moment, other sleepwalkers, including the main system, will not be able to detect it. This is an excellent opportunity.
Chi Nan's tears have been stopped: "According to your understanding of the system, what will be the rules for the selection of the Lord God?"
"Since it's a bug, there are no rules to speak of." You Yu looked down, Chi Nan couldn't see his expression clearly.
"That's it, bad luck..." Chi Nan looked up at the fine snow in the green sky, as if he could see where they came from. "After coming out of the ghost tunnel, it seems that something is different."
His voice was not quite the same as before, and there was a little exhaustion in the calm.
"Are you tired?" You Yu asked him.
Chi Nan shook his head: "It's just a little sad, but I don't know where this emotion comes from."
You Yu suddenly raised his eyes: "That day at Dawn Base, what were you thinking when it snowed?"
Chi Nan didn't know why You Yu suddenly asked such a question, so he just answered truthfully, "I was thinking, it would be nice if it could snow at Liming Base."
"Why?" You Yu frowned.
Chi Nan: "I just remembered that when I was a child, you said you wanted to play in the snow."
You Yu's expression froze, he looked at Chi Nan for a moment, and smiled for a moment: "Thank you."
He has almost confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
Chi Nan didn't know why You Yu wanted to thank him, after all, the snow was just a coincidence.
"Brother Nan, where do you want to go most now?" You Yu asked Chi Nan, looking at the deserted Zicheng in the darkness.
Chi Nan thought about it seriously, and answered in accordance with his heart: "North 3rd District, Building 57, 206."
"Okay, let's go."
