You Yu looked towards the back seat, and the remaining three sleepwalkers shook their heads blankly.
207 looked at him and frowned thoughtfully: "229, what's the matter with you? This nightmare was originally only three sleepwalkers involved, who is Chi Nan you're talking about?"
You Yu didn't have the time to answer, and quickly opened the system that had returned to normal operation to check the copy data.
He found that not only the copy of "Route 404", but also "Dream of Travelling", "Twilight Cruise", "Candleman Festival" and "School 229" could not find any trace of Chi Nan.
Chi Nan was deleted from the sleepwalker data and completely disappeared from the dream world.
In You Yu's mind, the image of "The Crying Boy" falling into a sea of flames in a ghost tunnel and being burned silently...
The ghost tunnel is a time-space tunnel, and everything he sees has really happened.
For some reason, the past was changed.
In other words, he came to the timeline of Chi Nan's 'non-existence'.
"Let me drive, you can rest for a while," 207 suggested that the situation was not right, "I have reported the occurrence of the ghost tunnel to the main system, and the system will repair it."
You Yu didn't refuse. He got down from the driver's seat and sat on the co-pilot. The 207 quickly started the car and drove to the Dawn base at a speed of 120km/h.
The endless gray wilderness outside the window quickly retreated from You Yu's line of sight. You Yu turned his head and stared at himself on the window glass that was splashed with traces of rain.
The 'self' with green eyes and two tear moles disappeared.
You Yu rolled the car window, and the howling wind poured into the car, just like the moment he jumped from the 206 infinite loop apartment.
…
He was never one to be swayed by emotions.
After returning to the Dawn base, You Yu began to investigate the main system.
He found that the bug record of the "Ghost Tunnel" was preserved this time, and the collapse of the sub-city that he experienced before did not happen, and the dream-making world was running in an orderly and stable manner.
And Chi Nan, like "The Crying Boy", completely disappeared from people's memory, and the entire dream-making world did not leave any memory of him.
With the exception of You Yu, everything about Chi Nan was completely preserved in his memory.
Even the pocket watch that had been handed over to Chi Nan for safekeeping returned to him. You Yu opened the cover of the pocket watch, rubbed his fingers on the frozen 12:20, and something flashed in his eyes.
He closed the lid again and put the cold pocket watch in his pocket.
He walked out of the towering building of the Dawn Base, and the entire base fell into a rain curtain.
The rain drenched the lights on the ground into a wet and endless night.
Since the ghost tunnel came out, the weather at Dawn Base is no longer always sunny. It is often like now. It has been raining for more than half a month. Water stains and mildew have covered the walls of the base building. Breathless suffocation.
But apart from Yu Yu, no one was surprised by the weather changes at Dawn Base.
It seems that in their cognition, the dawn base has always been this ghostly appearance, endless night and endless rain.
Only You Yu's cognition is incompatible with everyone, this dream world is a strange existence to him.
The deviation of memory and the deviation from everyone's cognition can easily make people fall into endless self-doubt, and self-doubt that goes deep into the bone marrow breeds a sense of nihilism, and nihility can quickly overwhelm human beings.
But this is not important to You Yu, everything in the outside world can be ignored.
He is convinced of Chi Nan's existence, and firmly believes that his memory is the proof of Chi Nan's existence, and he is also trying to find more traces of Chi Nan's existence.
You Yu never doubted this.
He came to Ruin Cliff again along the path he once walked with Chi Nan. It was a night when the first snow fell on the dawn base, and it was as wet and quiet as now.
The ruined cliff was bottomless, and no one knew where it could lead. The wind swept up from the bottom of the cliff with rainwater, blowing on You Yu's face like a knife had been slashed.
Soon, You Yu's body was soaked by the rain.
He wiped off the water stains on his eyelashes and called the main system: "Can you arrange for me to meet the dream maker?"
[Sorry to inform you that the dream maker cannot meet the dream maker]
The system rejected him again with an inorganic voice.
You Yu smiled unsurprisingly: "If I remember correctly, this is the hundredth time you have rejected me."
[Dream maker 229, please understand that you do not have the authority to meet with the dream maker, no matter how many times the system will reject your application]
"Is that so..." You Yu still smiled, "Can't you give me any sweetness? I am the most experienced dream maker in this world."
The system didn't seem to know how to answer and went down.
You Yu continued to playfully say: "Always reject me, isn't the dream maker afraid that I will quit my job in a fit of rage?"
The system went down again, but it didn't take long before it finally answered in a colder voice—
[Once you lose your status as a dream maker, you will no longer be able to stay in the dream world, I hope you know]
You Yu clicked his tongue: "It's really ruthless."
"But I can also tell you clearly, it's a joke, it's impossible for me to resign voluntarily," You Yu put away his laugh and said seriously and stubbornly, "I won't do such a stupid thing, I need to be a dreamer. privilege."
In the next two months, You encountered day and night weaving nightmares, and quickly accumulated enough vacation and favor points. After signing a non-disclosure agreement, he left the dream world and entered reality for a two-day reality trip. .
When the system asked him to choose the vest he needed for travel, You Yu refused all of them, and he chose to use his original appearance to appear in the real world.
It happened to be the hottest night in midsummer, dragonflies were flying low in the yard with weeds over the knees, and the humid air seemed to be brewing a heavy rain.
You Yu wakes up from a dark ruin.
A familiar voice came from downstairs—
"Twelve years have passed since the tragedy of Bai Yingzhi's fire. Twelve years ago, in this house, Bai Yingzhi, a popular female artist, and her whole family were buried in the fire, including her eight-year-old son. The accident was tragic and no one survived. The cause of the fire Unknown, fourteen corpses burned beyond recognition were found in the rubble after the accident..."
"I saw the barrage saying that I came here last year. That's right, because the response was very good at the time, so this year I decided to bring you guys to Bai Yingzhi's accident house to find out more..."
It is the sound of black tea.
You Yu quickly learns that, since he re-enters the ghost tunnel, a timeline change causes things to go in the other direction.
In the reality he was in now, Xiao Youyu had already died in the fire twelve years ago, and Chi Nan had never survived in his body.
Footsteps came from the dilapidated stairs: "Now we are heading to the second floor, the bedroom where Bai Yingzhi's only son traveled."
"This deceased young master was born blind, with an extremely yin constitution. He was possessed by evil spirits before he was born. The accident happened on the Ghost Festival when the young master was eight years old..."
A beam of flashlight passed through the corridor and shone in the corner of the young master's bedroom. The beam swept back and forth around the room a few times, and finally landed on You Yu's face.
The camera in Hei Cha's hand was aimed at You Yu's cold and white face, and the whole person was so frightened that his breathing stagnated and he froze in place, and the live broadcast barrage exploded directly.
[Fuck, is that a human or a ghost? ! ! ]
[Whether it's a human or a ghost, it's so beautiful, my mom! ! ]
Hei Cha finally recovered from the huge fear, and accidentally fell while escaping backwards. The flashlight and shooting equipment were dropped on the ground, so he hurriedly took out the talisman he carried with him and put it on You Yu. Sa Go: "Hey, don't come here, I'm the one who disturbed you when I trespassed in your house, I'm sorry I'm sorry... Eh, why are you not afraid of this..."
You Yu directly picked up the talisman that had been spilled on the ground: "Borrow a fire."
The black tea dominated by fear was blinded, and shivered, he took out the lighter and handed it to You Yu.
You Yu took it, lit the talismans one by one to illuminate the ruined old house, and pouted: "Your talisman is still not good as always."
Black Tea's 'professional skills' were complained about, and his dissatisfaction immediately overcame his fear. He stood up from the ground and patted the ashes on his body, and decided to look at You Yu: "It's not that I can't do it, you are a person, right? "
He finally calmed down and began to squat on the ground to pick up his shooting equipment, only to find that the phone was broken and the live broadcast was interrupted long ago.
Hei Cha picked up the phone in distress and rubbed a few times in his heart. He looked at You Yu again: "Are you also here to explore?"
Looking at the stranger who suddenly appeared again, Hei Cha suddenly felt a little panic in his heart, some kind of inexplicable familiarity and sadness mixed together, endless, like the heavy rain in winter drenched his mood. through.
Hei Cha's lips trembled, and a certain name was about to come out, but before he could make a sound, his memory quickly ebbed.
It feels so uncomfortable.
"I'm here to find something." You Yu said.
Hei Cha scratched his neck: "Looking for something? This place has been abandoned for many years, and there is no valuable thing."
You Yu raised the corner of his lips imperceptibly: "It's a boyfriend's thing."
"Ah?" The black tea was dazed, and after a brief stunned, he said something mysteriously, "Well, although it's strange to ask, do I know your boyfriend?"
You Yu looked over sharply: "What do you remember?"
Hei Cha was stunned for a second, something flashed in his eyes, and for a moment he shook his head in a daze: "What the hell am I talking about... It's inexplicable..."
"Sorry, I said something strange," Dark Tea apologized to You Yu for his strange reaction, "but everything in this room is clean, you shouldn't find what you're looking for."
"That's it," You Yu pouted regretfully, "Thank you for letting me know."
It seems that it is not only the dream world, but also everything about Chi Nan in reality.
Hei Cha stood at the entrance of the stairs and saw this strange boy going downstairs, walking around the ruined house, and finally walked out through the gate.
Hei Cha suddenly had an inexplicable impulse in his heart. He chased the stranger out of the house, but it was only a few seconds later, and the stranger had disappeared into the barren garden.
Only the cold white moonlight fell on the waist-high weeds.
A layer of white sweat floated behind the black tea, and he had to reconsider... Is the other party a human or a ghost
What scares him even more is that the live video that night disappeared with the departure of the strange man, and this live broadcast accident has become the most widely circulated unsolved mystery on the paranormal forum.
…
This is the sixth time Tang Yu has successfully cleared the nightmare dungeon. She has accumulated enough favorability to realize her wish, and has truly become a girl.
She could have returned to reality directly from Dawn Base after redeeming her wish, but Tang Yu chose to return to Zicheng to spend the last two days of her dream world.
Tang Yu lives in Apartment 207, Building 57. In her memory, she is the only one in the entire Beisan District.
But this trip back, the 206 window next door revealed warm yellow light.
Finally have neighbors
Tang Yu stepped upstairs quickly, and soon she found that the new neighbor had planted mint on the balcony, and the green mint leaves were still stained with water droplets, and he looked like he was being taken care of.
It seems that the other party is a very gentle person who loves life, Tang Yu thought.
So she knocked gently on 206's door.
Almost less than two seconds later, the sound of fiery footsteps came from the door, and the door was quickly opened.
"Hello, I'm Tang Yu who lives next door at 207."
She greeted her new neighbors very friendly, but she was overwhelmed that the moment the other party saw her, the brilliance and hope in his eyes faded, and finally turned into bottomless darkness.
It was as if in an instant, the other party waited for the long-awaited hope, but experienced a huge disillusionment.
"Hello," You Yu quickly regained his emotional stability, "My name is Chi Nan."
The expression on Tang Yu's face also solidified for a moment, and a sense of familiarity also came to her, but the truth was fleeting, she soon completely forgot her trance, and said to You Yu with a smile: "The next In the next two days, please give me more advice."
She looked over You Yu's shoulder and accidentally saw the same portrait hanging on the wall of Room 206.
The young man in the painting has a pair of green eyes and two tear moles around the corners of his eyes, and his face has an indescribable, solemn and calm deity.
The background of the portrait is endless rain and night, like the whole dream world.
There is never a sunrise, the rain is always falling, and gloomy weather can easily make people unhappy.
"That's my boyfriend." You Yuchao introduced Tang Yu.
Tang Yu made a low 'ah' sound after realizing it, and immediately apologized for his rudeness after regaining his senses: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't look at your room so rudely."
You Yu smiled: "It doesn't matter, he won't mind."
Tang Yu found that the boy next door, who was embarrassed to look at him, seemed to like sweets. Tang Yu met him several times in the corridor, and every time he held various desserts in his hand.
On February 28th, which was Tang Yu's last day in the dream world, she drew a full stop on the calendar, and the thin calendar paper soaked with ink was printed on the 29th below.
Dreamworld's date rules are strange, every February has twenty-nine days.
It just happened to be her birthday, strangely.
But does February 29 have any special meaning to the world
Tang Yu thought for a while, her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sound of thunder outside the window. She glanced at the dark sky, and it seemed that a heavy rain was inevitable.
Although she was in a dream world, Tang Yu still kept her living habits in reality. She pushed open the door and went to the corridor to collect her clothes, and happened to bump into a neighbor who came back from outside with a red umbrella.
"Did you just come back from shopping?" Tang Yu asked politely, and quickly noticed that the other party was holding a huge red velvet cake in his hand, "Eh? Does anyone have a birthday?"
You Yu nodded with a smile on his lips: "Tomorrow, it's my boyfriend and I's birthday."
