The bathroom lighting is an ambiguous yellow.
Chi Nan clearly saw You Yu's body in the mirror through the polished shower glass and You Yu's eyes.
You Yu deliberately looked at himself in the mirror with a scrutinizing gaze.
He knew that Chi Nan had to synchronize his gaze under the control of 'sensory sharing'.
"Does it look good?" You Yu didn't even hold back, the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"Very good." At this moment, Chi Nan was still very honest, even a little out of place.
However, You Yu refused to let such a good opportunity easily, and continued to ask: "What's the difference with the body you used?"
Chi Nan looked at the mirror and thought seriously: "Muscle lines are clearer, shoulders are wider, and then..."
He paused, and finally thought of the appropriate wording, "More aggressive."
You Yu was stunned by his remarks, and then smiled: "Thank you for your evaluation."
"You're welcome."
But Chi Nan obviously said it was too early, because the next second You Yu continued to play tricks: "Want to give it a try?"
This time Chi Nan finally reacted, and after being silent for a few seconds, he learned from the system's inorganic voice and said, "...it's forbidden to play hooligans to the system."
"Unfortunately, there is no negative option for this question."
You Yu turned on the shower switch, and warm water poured down his shoulders.
The familiar shower gel is mixed with warm water vapour rushing into the nostrils, leaving a warm, moist touch under the skin.
The strong sense of smell and touch activated Chi Nan's long-sleep senses.
Fresh, intense, everywhere, this is living.
The sound of water splashed down, and the white tiles in the bathroom splashed countless tiny water splashes, and the sound of swimming was melted into the sound of water.
"Can you read my thoughts at this moment?" You Yu asked.
Chi Nan: "No, the system only provides me with sensory sharing, and cannot read your brain."
You Yu clicked his tongue: "That's really a pity."
Chi Nan:
"Brother Nan, I have confirmed one thing since you disappeared for more than half a year." You Yu raised his face, letting the water wash away and blur the expression on his face.
Chi Nan: "Can you tell me?"
"Of course, it's about you," You Yu paused, "Brother Nan, I really like you and will continue to do so."
Chi Nan was silent for a while: "Okay, I see."
…
After taking a shower, You Yu, who had never dried her hair before, obediently picked up the hairdryer and took care of her wet hair.
"I have always had a question," Chi Nan quickly regained his ability to think, "If my existence is completely erased from the dream world and the real world, why do you spend the favor points on "permanent use rights"? Haven't come back yet? Is the system missing? "
You Yu shook his head: "I haven't been able to find any relevant clues about this. It stands to reason that the favor system is the core system of the dream world. It is impossible for such a stupid mistake to happen."
"The only possibility is that there was a bug when erasing you, so that the goodwill consumed by the "permanent use right" could not be returned," You Yu frowned, "or some kind of hint. "
Chi Nan: "Maybe we didn't get out of Zicheng's bug?"
You Yu's face turned pale, he shook his head and did not speak, Chi Nan did not continue this disappointing topic, he followed You Yu's corner of the light to look at the paintings on the 206 wall: "These are the "Crying" "Youth"?"
You Yu's tense face finally relaxed, and his eyes stayed on the countless paintings, so that Chi Nan could see "The Crying Boy" more clearly.
"I'm right, cuter than me."
He still remembered Chi Nan once asked what he looked like in "The Crying Boy".
The answer he gave at that time was that he was cuter than him.
Chi Nan didn't answer his nasty question, looked at the painting for a while and said, "Have you learned painting before?"
You Yu pouted and joked sarcastically, "Don't forget, dream makers are omnipotent."
The painting is very detailed, Chi Nan asked: "But you have only seen this painting once, can you remember the details?"
You Yu is very sure: "Well, I remember every detail clearly."
"Then... Can you paint a picture now?" Chi Nan wanted to share the feeling of "The Crying Boy" being born from his own hands through sensory sharing.
You Yu understood Chi Nan's expectations: "Okay."
He didn't delay, grabbed a pen and paper, and began to paint the familiar paintings as usual.
In fact, You Yu himself is a little incredible. He only saw "The Crying Boy" when he entered the ghost tunnel for the first time, but in the days that followed, this painting seemed to be carved into his memory... To be precise, As it grew from his memory, all the details emerged clearly.
So that as long as he picks up the pen, he can easily restore the painting, as if he has been facing the painting for many years.
But as a child, he obviously couldn't see anything.
Chi Nan follows You Yu's senses, witnessing a new "self" gradually taking shape and birth on the white paper, a vague sense of familiarity descends, but this feeling is about to emerge, but it is fleeting.
It was as if he had seen this scene a long, long time ago, someone holding a paintbrush, his eyes lingered on him and the drawing paper, the paper made a rustling sound, and his appearance gradually emerged on the white paper.
It seemed to be such a cloudy and rainy weather, and the humid rain smell lingered in the air.
This feeling made Chi Nan feel nostalgic and sad.
I don't know if it is because of sharing You Yu's body that his perception of emotions is clearer and more specific.
You Yu noticed Chi Nan's mood swings in his consciousness and put down his brush: "What's wrong?"
Chi Nan: "A little sleepy."
You Yu put the newly completed painting on the table: "Then let's sleep."
Chi Nan has some concerns: "But..."
"I'm sleepy too, it's a coincidence." Said, You Yu had turned off the light, rolled over and lay on the soft bed, barely yawned and closed his eyes.
Although Chi Nan's new life made him so happy that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights, it didn't prevent him from closing his eyes and breathing lightly, laying motionless on the bed and letting Chi Nan in his body get a good night's sleep.
Chi Nan can't hear the voice in his head, he can lie down and think about many things, such as Chi Nan wakes up later and goes to the cake shop to get a bigger red velvet cake, and how to eat so many sweets , his teeth are guaranteed not to decay.
He is ready for Chi Nan to live in his body for a long time and share his senses. These are all things that need to be carefully considered in 'cohabitation'.
Chi Nan fell asleep within five minutes of lying down as he did before.
Although You Yu couldn't see it, he was sure that Chi Nan was asleep, so he let his breathing lighter.
The rain outside the window started again, and it was getting heavier and louder, banging against the window.
Since coming out of the ghost tunnel for the second time, the rain in the dream world has always been continuous.
Why is this so
Originally, he thought that with Chi Nan's return, the rain would stop, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
One rain after another, what does it imply
You Yu was reluctant to open his eyes, and the familiar "Crying Boy" appeared in his mind again. Behind Chi Nan in the painting, there is also such an endless rain curtain...
What does the endless rain have to do with Chi Nan
You Yu allows his thoughts to float in the wet night, while feeling the existence of Chi Nan with all his senses.
Although it is invisible, the presence in the body is clear and strong, which is enough.
Unknowingly, You Yu also fell asleep with absolute peace of mind.
What woke them up was the ringing of the communication device.
The bell was in a hurry, and the system sounded an alarm—
[Dreammaker 229, please pay attention, there is an emergency call request from the dawn base]
[Dreammaker 229 please connect immediately...]
"Go and answer the phone." Chi Nan had already woken up, his voice a little hoarse.
You Yu has never been so irritable as at this moment. He took the communicator and saw that it was a call application from 207. He pressed down a little impatiently and rubbed his temples, straight to the topic: "What's wrong?"
There was a heavy and rapid breathing sound from the end of the communicator: "Something happened."
"It started to rain in all the Nightmare dungeons... Without any setting changes," 207's voice trembled as never before, "The sleepwalkers in the dungeons also disappeared one by one."
You Yu's impatience instantly vanished, and his expression froze: "Disappeared? Do you mean being sent directly back to Dawn Base?"
"No, it disappeared directly from the dream world. What's worse is that the sleepwalkers in the Dawn base also began to disappear one after another."
You Yu quickly jumped up from the bed to change clothes, confirmed that there was no danger or bug in his system, and hurriedly asked: "How long ago?"
207 hoarsely said, "It's been two hours, and I haven't been able to contact you during this time."
You Yu confirmed his communicator again, and there was no other application other than this call request.
Everything happens in ignorance.
"What about the Dream Makers?" You Yu asked.
"Dreammakers in the base are urgently looking for bugs, but they haven't been able to find the specific reason. We suspect—"
207 stopped abruptly when he said that, You Yu frowned: "What's the matter? You continue."
207's voice began to be blurred: "Disappeared... 301, 811, 731, 101... The dream-makers also began to disappear! How could they be standing beside me just now...!"
"Hello? What's wrong?"
207's voice stopped, and the end of the communicator was dead silent.
You Yu, who couldn't get any response, began to try to make a call request with other dreammakers, but no one responded to him, and there was no bug notification when he checked the system again.
"Let's go back to Dawn Base as soon as possible." Chi Nan said.
You Yu's movements seemed to pause, and then quickly activated the main system emergency channel to transmit back to the dawn base.
…
The towering base building was shrouded in viscous rain, and the brightly lit base was so silent that only the sound of rain remained.
Through You Yu's eyes, Chi Nan clearly saw that the originally dry base was covered with moss, and the walls of the building were also covered with mildew.
"Unlike the bug in Zicheng, the Dawn base and the main system are still running, indicating that the energy to maintain the operation of the dream world has not been cut off," You Yu looked at the base that seemed to be larger because of the absolute silence, "The only exception is that Everyone in this world has disappeared, only me and you are left."
Chi Nan watched the world from You Yu's pupils.
"Maybe we are already in the nightmare copy," Chi Nan said. "There is a guess that we have been in a nightmare. From the second time we entered the ghost tunnel, we have already fallen into a dream."
