Lu Yao opened the map and selected Area C, which was adjacent to Area B, Area M, which was originally adjacent to Area A, and Area E, which was adjacent to Area D. In this way, the six areas of A, B, C, D, E, and M were unlocked.
Bai Ming, Xingzi, Xiaoqie and Qi Chen had already sat down by the window, waiting for Lu Yao.
After she confirmed the new area covered by the live broadcast signal, she also sat down and said, "No need to wait for me, eat now."
At the same time, all cinemas in areas C, E and M that were broadcasting live games had scrolling banner ads directing viewers to the live screening room at Lu Yao Snack Bar.
C Zone C Cake Shop Paradise.
Guard Qing had just come out of the game, still smelling of blood.
Chi ran in from outside holding a water cup, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Qing, our snack bar in Area C also has a live broadcast! The ticket seller just came over and said that there is suddenly an extra screening room in the cinema, and it is broadcasting the snack bar afternoon tea. I was just about to go over there, are you going?"
Chi often skipped work to go to the snack bar, and learned from other diners that the snack bar occasionally broadcast live. The food sold during the live broadcast was different from what was sold in the store, and it looked more luxurious and delicious. He had been envious for a long time.
Qing was originally preparing to take a shower, but after hearing this, he just wiped the blood off his body, changed his clothes, and went to the cinema with Chi.
He has been playing games frequently recently and hasn't been to the snack bar for a while. Chi said that the store would add one or two new items every once in a while, so he couldn't eat them for the time being, so he just looked at them and relaxed.
Chi looked at Qing's silence and felt a little worried.
Qing entered the game too frequently, and each time it was a game with strict rules and high difficulty. When he came out, he was always covered in blood and didn't talk much.
Chi heard that there was a guard in Area D who had the initial symptoms of amnesia just like Qing is now. Half a year later, the guard could no longer work due to amnesia, so he resigned from his guard position and went home to rest.
They all knew that this "rest" would be his rest forever.
Not everyone can go to the land of dreams after death, and those who go to the land of dreams do not necessarily gain eternal life.
They are no longer bound by time and worldly rules, but they will still face their final death one day.
Residents of Dreamland who contract amnesia will die and their souls will be destroyed.
Qing stopped and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
red:"?"
Qing: "Your eyes... are disgusting."
Chi: “…It’s okay.”
The two pushed the door and walked into the screening room, which was full of people, including the ticket seller and ticket inspector, all staring at the screen intently.
There is a light blue sky outside the window, with a bird occasionally flying by.
On the small wooden table, there were several cups of coffee and some brightly colored snacks that looked delicious.
The purple-haired boy carefully scooped up a small piece of mousse with a small spoon, grinned with neat shark teeth and took a sip, holding his face with one hand and squinting his eyes: "It melts in your mouth, fragrant and sweet! Manager, can I eat this again tomorrow?"
With their normal biting force, not to mention such a small piece of cake, even the small metal spoon in the boy's hand could be easily crushed into pieces.
The boy's restrained eating manner made the audience feel that the cake was extremely delicious, which was why he cherished it so much.
Lu Yao felt a pain on his face when he heard this, "... Well, I'll think about it."
Bai Ming tasted the snack and immediately found that it was even more delicious than yesterday's. His red eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of watery light. He bit the spoon without controlling his strength and broke it.
Lu Yao: “…”
Stay calm.
Xingzi held the coffee cup and took small sips. Even though it was extremely bitter, she seemed to be addicted to it, and there was a circle of white cream on her lips.
Qi Chen next to him was much more elegant. He loved eating the cakes of this shop when he was alive. When he ate them again today, he thought they were even more delicious than before.
In the screening room, the sound of sips of saliva could be heard one after another. Someone asked: "The bullet screen said that this store is in Area A. Is that true?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of it. Aren't all snack bars scams?"
"Go check it out! This looks so delicious!"
"Want to go?"
"Go ahead!"
Chi's eyes turned red.
The store hasn't got any new stuff. From what the little purple-haired boy said, he's so jealous that they can eat such delicious food every day.
Qing stood there for a while, then turned and walked out.
Chi called him, "You don't want to watch it anymore?"
Qing said, "Well, I want to enter the game again."
Chi Xin said the situation was not good, and without watching the live broadcast, he quickly chased after her, "You've been working too hard lately. How about taking a day off tomorrow and going to the snack bar together?"
Qing shook his head and refused: "Not these days, you go by yourself."
Chi stood at the door of the cinema, watching Qing walk into the park, and his mood became heavy.

In Area E, there is a sanatorium next to the top amusement park that specializes in accepting patients with amnesia.
Since its establishment, the sanatorium has admitted nearly a thousand patients from all over the thirteen districts of Dreamland, and is dedicated to caring for patients with amnesia and researching treatment methods.
A nurse came out of the ward, looking dead and numb, and reported to the director who was writing a report: "The patients in beds 11 and 13 in ward 7 on the third floor, and beds 6, 7, and 9 in ward 12 on the fourth floor have been confirmed dead."
Shui Ninghua, the director of the sanatorium, raised her head and said, "Five people died? Haven't they been sent to paradise recently?"
The nurse said: "The patients in beds 11, 13 and 6 refused to go to the park. The patients in beds 7 and 9 insisted on going to the park to check in, but their symptoms did not improve significantly. All five patients died during their lunch break at noon today. When we went to check on them in the afternoon, the beds were empty."
When the residents of Dreamland die, their souls dissipate and nothing is left behind.
Shui Ninghua lowered her head, "I see. I remember there is a guard suffering from amnesia in Area D. Now there is a vacant bed, we can take him over."
Nurse: "We have confirmed many times that the guard named Du has resigned from the park and has no intention of coming to the nursing home."
Shui Ninghua closed the file, stood up and said, "I'll go over and take a look myself."
Shui Ninghua took two nurses with her and prepared to go to Area D. At the main entrance of the sanatorium, they met another nurse leading a team of five patients coming out of the cinema. This team of patients was a little different from the previous ones.
Shui Ninghua stood and watched for a while, and it seemed that her eyes were different.
Most of the patients with amnesia looked sleepy and numb, but the eyes of this group of people seemed to be more lively and had a little more light than those of other people in the hospital.
The leading nurse saw Shui Ninghua and ran over to greet her, "Director, are you ready to go out?"
"Well, go pick up a patient." Shui Ninghua was still looking at the group of patients, "Are they feeling better?"
The team leader was about to say this, "Yeah. We watched a different live show today, a very unique food show. They seemed to like it very much and were reluctant to leave after the live show ended."
Shui Ninghua thought that she really needed stimulation. At this moment, she felt that the treatment plan she had formulated was effective. She did not pay attention to the "food show" mentioned by the nurse. She raised her hand to interrupt the leading nurse and said, "I have to go first. I will read your report when I come back. Take them back first."
Qingshan Paradise in Area D.
Chen Jiang, Du An and Du Chen came out of the cinema. Chen Jiang was still thinking about the desserts in the snack bar, his face full of longing. "The owner promised to serve new coffee and snacks for a limited time. I want to go. What about you?"
Duan also wanted to go, but he looked at Du Chen first, "Brother, do you want to go?"
Du Chen nodded: "Go ahead, I want to drink coffee too."
Duan nodded and became happy, "Then we'll do it together tomorrow."
Ever since eating the food at Lu Yao Snack Bar, Du Chen’s amnesia seems to have been cured.
But Duan only dared to secretly observe his brother's condition and never dared to ask.
Amnesia is an incurable terminal illness, and Duan was afraid to ask about it, which instead reminded Du Chen.
My brother is very happy now, and that’s enough.
Halfway through the walk, Du Chen suddenly said, "I have to go to the park for something."
Duane immediately said, "I'm with you."
When Duan woke up in this world, he was with Du Chen. Du Chen said he was his elder brother, so he obediently called him brother.
They have lived here and depended on each other since the Land of Dreams was still a land of nothingness.
It is only in the last few hundred years that subways and airplanes appeared in this world, and later on, theme parks appeared.
After his brother became a guard of the paradise, his personality changed a little. He also contracted amnesia in the paradise. Duan was worried that Du Chen would want to go back to be a guard again.
Du Chen patted his shoulder, his eyes calm: "Don't worry, I'm fine now."
Duane: "So what are you doing in Paradise?"
Du Chen: "We went to a snack bar that day, and there was a very powerful clerk in the store. He used to be a guard at the theme park next door."
Duan looked confused and didn't understand what he meant.
Du Chen simply said it more bluntly: "He became a clerk, which means that the park is now short of a guard."
"Brother, do you want to be a guard at the 99th Floor Paradise?"
"The 99th Floor Paradise is one of the most rigorously assessed parks in the country. I want to give it a try, but I may not be able to transfer there." Du Chen said, but his eyes were shining with determination. "I'm going to ask when the last assessment on the 99th Floor was."
Duan knew he couldn't persuade her, but if it was next to the snack bar, it would make him feel more at ease than anywhere else, so he said, "I'll go with you."
They said goodbye to Chen Jiang, and the two brothers turned and walked towards the paradise.
At the entrance of the paradise, Shui Ninghua was asking the guard about Du Chen's residence.
The guard raised his eyes and saw Du Chen and Du An approaching. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen wrongly, and said hesitantly: "Du Chen, you are back?"
Shui Ninghua turned around and saw Du Chen, whose eyes were clear and in excellent condition. She was puzzled: "Du Chen? Are you the guard who suffered from amnesia?"
The guard at the door straightened his face and said, "This is the guard Du you are looking for. Du Chen, this is the director of the E District Sanatorium."
Du Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "What do you want from me?"
Shui Ninghua immediately explained the purpose of her visit, but Du Chen interrupted her halfway through, "No need, I'm ready now."
"What?" Shui Ninghua was puzzled, and the two caregivers following behind her also looked surprised.
Over the years, they have come into contact with hundreds of patients with amnesia, but so far there has not been a single case of recovery.
However, Du Chen's condition does not look like that of a patient with amnesia. His eyes are bright and his soul power is strong.
Shui Ninghua turned to look at the guard at the door: "Is he really that guard?"
The guard nodded in affirmation, "Yes, it is Du Chen."
Duan poked his head out from behind Du Chen and looked at Shui Ninghua eagerly, "Are you the director of the sanatorium? Can you tell if the patient's symptoms have improved? Is my brother really cured?"
Shui Ninghua looked at Du Chen carefully, "Where did you come from just now?"
Duan: "In the cinema, we watched a live show."
Shui Ninghua chatted with Duan for a few words, all about Du Chen's recent condition, and finally had to accept the fact that he had recovered.
She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Du, would you like to tell me about your recovery process?"
Du Chen thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, I have something to do today. My recovery process is very simple. We are going there tomorrow. If you have time, we can come together."
Shui Ninghua: "Where are you going?"
Du Chen: "A small shop that cured my amnesia."
Shui Ninghua suspected that if there really was such a place, she would have found it long ago.
But there was no other way, so she had to agree to go and take a look: "Okay, what time tomorrow?"
Du Chen agreed with her on the time and meeting place, then took Duan away.
Duan's face was smiling like a flower, his brother's illness was really cured.
The nurse next to Shui Ninghua said, "This guard has a bad temper. He doesn't look like someone who has suffered from amnesia at all. Is he trying to deceive us?"
Another tall and thin nurse said, "If he really has amnesia, his current condition is the best proof. I think it's okay for the director to agree to go and take a look."
Shui Ninghua thought so too. She would know whether it was true or not by going and seeing it, but she didn't hold much hope.
