Lao Yu gave Chi Nan a complicated look and shook his head: "Your question is beyond the scope, I've never heard of such a situation."
Chi Nan: "…"
"Dreammakers and sleepwalkers have never existed in the same class. They are the leaders and rulers. We are just the prey they play with. Now that we know the truth, there is no need to be too persistent." Chi Nan's potential, worried that his performance in the nightmare world would be interfered with by other factors, reminded him.
Chi Nan nodded, but said, "Really? I thought they were the service staff and we were the guests."
Customers are God, Chi Nan remembers that human society has always preached this.
The corners of Lao Yu's lips twitched and he smiled: "Tell the dream maker as a service staff, you really think the nightmare world is a haunted house."
Chi Nan thought to himself, didn't he? It’s still free to eat and drink for free. The only disadvantage is that it is really dangerous.
"But if you really want to see the dream maker, you can ask the system to give it a try."
Chi Nan's expression paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Lao Yu.
"But first of all, you have to brush up your favorability. In Nightmare World, favorability is equivalent to circulating currency. A little more service staff will give you admiration, right? And I feel..." Lao Yu paused, revealing a secret smile, "The dream maker is also very interested in you."
Chi Nan lowered his eyelashes and moved his lips, but at that moment the driverless train just entered the station, and the scattered wind completely covered his words.
On the train, after five days of terrifying journeys, everyone finally relaxed and gathered to eat, drink and chat.
Dysonson held the pistol he used to end his companion's life, and said nothing from beginning to end, while Xia Wei rolled up his sleeves and applied hand cream to his lost arm, cherishing it very much.
Lao Yu took the cigarette to the smoking area. He was not such a particular person before, but now there is Rui Rui in the carriage, and he is embarrassed to not obey the rules and smoke in front of the little girl.
"I'm really curious, what happened to your mother and daughter, can you tell us in detail if you don't mind?" Xia Wei gossips and asks the mother and daughter.
Ruirui looked at her mother: "can I tell this brother?"
Her mother is now different from when she first entered the dungeon. She smiled gently and calmly: "You can make your own decisions when you grow up."
Ruirui smiled: "Thank you mom."
"On my mother's birthday, it rained a lot. My father ordered a cake and a restaurant to surprise my mother. After get off work, he came to school to pick me up and go to the restaurant to wait for my mother."
"My father and I were involved in a car accident on the way. It was a big cement truck that hit us. My father died on the spot. Because I was sitting in the back row, I was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment..." Ruirui lowered her eyes and put the The big red velvet cake went in the trash.
On the day of the car accident, my father ordered a big double-layer strawberry cream cake, which was placed in the passenger seat. At the moment of the car accident, Rui Rui saw with her own eyes that the cake box was scratched, and her father's blood was soaked in the snow-white cream, which read " "Happy Birthday to Wife" was folded in half, half fell to the ground, and half was submerged in the blood-red cream.
Blood dripped and melted butter dripped in the badly damaged carriages, the sweet red covering the cold, sharp iron.
The sound of rain outside the car fell, and the strange sweet and fishy smell shrouded her most feared memory, and she never wanted to see the cake again.
"I knew that my father was gone. Although I was in a coma at the time, my consciousness was unexpectedly clear. On the way from the ambulance to be carried into the emergency room, I made a wish that my father would survive, and my father and I would give my mother a good life. Birthday."
Rui Rui blinked her eyes and lowered her voice, but shrugged her shoulders pretending to be relaxed, "But I also died. Later, it was my mother who made a wish at my funeral and came to this world to resurrect me."
"My mother made an additional wish when she resurrected me. She didn't want to remember the days when I left, so she forgot the process of resurrecting me. In order to protect her, it was only natural that I would inherit her previous memory and experience. I am determined to protect my mother, and then continue to fulfill my wish to resurrect my father."
Ruirui said, and raised a bright smile at her mother who was wiping her tears: "Mom, happy birthday, I will have the opportunity to tell you this personally when you think of it."
The young mother rubbed Ruirui into her arms: "thank you Ruirui, our family will be reunited soon."
After listening to the story of Ruirui's family of three entering the book, Xia Wei began to sob and cry again. Now Lao Yu had finished smoking and walked back to the carriage, sneering: "Why are you crying again?"
Xia Wei pressed the corner of his eyes with a tissue and said in a hoarse voice, "I have low tears and strong empathy."
Lao Yu: "..." He looked around, but couldn't find Chi Nan, "Where did Chi Nan go?"
Xia Wei: "It seems to be hiding in the soft sleeper carriage next door to sleep."
Chi Nan, who was lying on the upper bunk of the soft sleeper, slept drowsy for a few times, and then woke up drowsy.
He didn't open his eyes, and in his ears was the monotonous sound of the train rolling over the rails, which kept repeating.
He covered his ears with a pillow and felt a little noisy.
Since he came to the nightmare world, he hadn't really been alone. At first, it was the black tea that was chatting in his ear all the time. Later, he met Ye Chang. Although Ye Chang didn't talk much, he was by his side, even if they were silent. Being silent also made him feel peaceful and lively.
Chi Nan finally realized this, and was curious and lost at his incomprehension.
Unconsciously, he seemed to get used to the people around him, but these people disappeared from his side again at this moment, and only the sound of the train clack and clack remained.
Chi Nan couldn't sleep.
He walked from the soft sleeper to the dining car to eat something to cushion his stomach, and when he just walked around the car, he saw Rui Rui waving at him.
"Brother, thank you." Ruirui understood the whole process of breaking the dream, and she knew very well that if Chi Nan had not proposed to cut off the light source of the ghost wall and let the shadows starve to death to melt the human wax, she would probably have to go to her mother's side again. Been away for a long time.
Chi Nan squatted in front of the little girl, hesitated for a moment and said, "Excuse me, do you still have that lucky toffee?"
Ruirui nodded: "Yes, does brother need it?"
Chi Nan doesn't get along with ordinary children, so he released his breath to hide his nervousness: "Well, if you can."
"Of course," Rui Rui smiled generously, and took out Chi Nan's familiar toffee from his pocket and put it in his palm, "But isn't brother allergic to sugar?"
Chi Nan lowered his eyes and held the candy in his palm, "No, that brother lied to you before."
"He likes to lie the most..." Chi Nan opened the candy wrapper and put the candy in his mouth.
The rich milky fragrance immediately spread between his lips and teeth, and the sweetness quickly occupied his consciousness.
His green eyes flashed, his eyelashes drooped, and a tear dropped from the corner of his eye with his movements.
"Brother, why are you crying..." Ruirui was no stranger to Xia Wei's tears, but it was the first time she saw Chi Nan's tears.
Chi Nan tried his best to mobilize his facial muscles, and finally raised the corners of his lips: "Thank you, candy is delicious."
The group followed the procedure to the Dawn base to conduct a favorability calculation, and the inorganic voice of the system sounded from the broadcast again—
[First of all, congratulations to all sleepwalkers for successfully clearing the "Candleman Festival", and the following will be the favorability calculation. ]
[Successful completion of the five-day volunteer service work, calculated based on 5 points of favorability per day, and cumulative favorability of five days per person +25]
[Successfully survive and dress up to attend the Candleman Festival, each person's favorability +10]
Xia Wei patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and kept saying 'it's dangerous and dangerous', and almost missed the ten o'clock favor.
[Dormitory members who have won the title of "Excellent Volunteer" will receive +10 favorability per person each time]
Hearing the subtle expressions of everyone here, that is to say, this favor is distributed according to the dormitory members. In the last two nights, Dysonson in Dormitory 109, Lao Yu and Xia Wei in Dormitory 103 were randomly assigned to the title of "Excellent Volunteer", although they used civet cats. The method of changing the prince, and Chi Nanye often changed dormitories, but they still survived and were assigned favorability points.
[Sleepwalker who successfully discovered the rules of shadow alienation for the first time, favorability +10]
[Successfully destroyed the shadow wall of Candleman Town, and worked together to rescue 186 souls trapped in Candleman Festival, collective favorability +20]
Hearing this, Lao Yu whistled in a wonderful mood.
[Each person in the dormitory selected as the candle wick +10 favorability]
[Individuals selected as candle wicks will receive special rewards, favorability +20]
The young mother squatted down with emotion and hugged Rui Rui tightly, while Rui Rui kissed her mother's forehead.
['Candleman Festival' special reward: During the instance, if you successfully kill a companion whose shadow is alienated, you will get 30 points of favorability encouragement]
This should be the task with the highest reward except for the most dangerous candle wick. Everyone looked at Chi Nan enviously, but Chi Nan himself was expressionless.
It turns out that killing Ye Chang with your own hands can earn 30 favorability points.
[This dungeon earns 65 favorability points for Mr. Yu]
[Xia Wei earns 65 favorability points]
[Dysonson earns 65 favorability points]
[Rui Rui earns 85 favorability points]
[Lin Anlu (Rui Rui's mother) earns 65 favorability points]
[Chi Nan earns 115 favorability points]
[The favorability of those who have disappeared from the dream copy is cleared and will not be counted. ]
Chi Nan glanced at his favorability system interface, his negative favorability was finally offset, and his favorability remaining value became +100 after this dungeon.
But his wish to "stop crying" requires 600 favorability points, and 100 favorability points is far from enough.
Because Ruirui and her mother are bound together to fulfill their wishes, their favorability is the same. This copy of "Candleman Festival" adds 150 favorability points to their wish to reunite as a family of three.
Lao Yu came over and rubbed the little girl's head: "Congratulations, it shouldn't take long for your family of three to be reunited."
The nervousness and nervousness on the young mother's face finally disappeared. She stroked her hair and smiled and said, "If there is no accident, we can go out after one more copy."
Saying that, she looked at Chi Nan, who was standing a little far away from the crowd, "You and Mr. Chi are very familiar, right? Our mother and daughter should really thank him this time."
"That child is really not an ordinary person, he just doesn't know about Ye Chang..."
Before Lao Yu could finish speaking, the system that had finished broadcasting the scores suddenly squeaked a few times and then sounded an electric current—
[In this dungeon mission, congratulations to Chi Nan, the sleepwalker, for obtaining dungeon souvenirs: a wax candle and a pair of broken glasses]
Chi Nan: "Do these have any special effects?"
System: [Can be kept as a souvenir, see things and think about people]
Everyone: "… "
Chi Nan: "Okay."
After calculating the integrity sensitivity, the group left from the Dawn base station again.
As Chi Nan expected, he was the only one on the train back to Zicheng this time.
I slept in the dark for several times, and when I woke up, the train had already parked and entered the station.
He dragged his suitcase through the desolate and lively streets and returned to the apartment in Building 57, Beisan District. When he passed 205, Chi Nan paused, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw the post-it note left by Black Tea on the door. —
"Chi Nan and Ye: I've been to Nightmare Book. Let's eat cheese fondue together when I get back. I've already prepared the ingredients, hee hee, wait for me!"
Chi Nan read the short line three or four times, then tore off the post-it note, folded it, and put it in his pocket.
He walked back to the 206 dormitory assigned to him, and stopped when he took out the key to open the door. A small pot of mint on the balcony withered. The original fat mint leaves were shriveled and yellowed. Chi Nan threw the dead mint into the in the trash can.
This is what Ye often brought back from the supermarket and planted on the windowsill. It is said that mint leaves are needed from time to time when bartending and making desserts. It is very convenient to plant a pot on the windowsill.
But Chi Nan felt that growing flowers and grass was very troublesome in itself. No, they left for 5 days, and the mint died.
With the 'click' sound of unlocking, Chi Nan dragged his suitcase back to the dormitory, frowning imperceptibly when he saw the scene in the house.
During the time they left, the house was cleaned up, and with the disappearance of Ye Chang's identity, the traces of his life were also erased.
Chi Nan quickly checked the house.
The bed that belonged to Ye Chang, his clothes in the cabinet, his toothbrush, cup, face towel on the sink, and his exercise book on the bookshelf disappeared completely.
There is no 'physical evidence' of life, and even the memory becomes a little illusory, as if Ye Chang never existed.
Chi Nan took out the post-it note left by the dark tea, pressed it on the desk with Ye Chang's glasses, and put the little candle man aside as a figure.
Then he opened the refrigerator and started to enjoy the cheese lemon cake and the super-large crème brûlée that he hadn't eaten before he left.
Three days later, there were hurried footsteps in the corridor. Chi Nan, who had been sleeping in a daze, just opened his eyes in a daze, and the same anxious slap on the door sounded outside the corridor.
Chi Nan opened the door sleepily, facing the dusty black tea, a moment of undetectable joy flashed in his heart, but his face was as calm as ever.
"Do you want to eat cheese fondue?" he said, rubbing his eyes, "but you may have to wait a while, the pot has not been washed, and the ingredients have to be prepared again."
Hei Cha stood outside the door for half a second, and opened his mouth with undisguised excitement: "Chi Nan - I really miss you guys!"
If he hadn't remembered that Chi Nan had a phobia of touching human limbs, he would have rushed up and hugged Chi Nan to express his longing and joy.
"It's too risky this time, I almost told you..." Hei Cha took off his shoes and entered the house without hesitation, and began to crack down on his life-long experience. Chi Nan listened carefully and quietly, and returned it to Black tea handed cold beer and coke.
Hei Cha said in a screeching manner, and drank half a can of cold beer in one breath. When he raised his head and re-scanned the 206 dormitory, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the emptiness.
"By the way, what about classmate Ye? Did you go shopping?" Dark Tea asked.
Chi Nan's expression paused, and he subconsciously looked at Ye Chang's broken glasses, and said softly, "He didn't come out of the copy."
