The memory jumped back to a short time ago. She dreamed of Xiao Luan on the first day she woke up in the future, and she dreamed of Xiao Luan and Xiao Hong on the second day. She couldn't hear Xiao Luan speak, but Xiao Hong's voice could reach her ears, and she didn't dream about people and events in the real world after that.
Until she decided to stay in the future, she dreamed of Sheng Ming being killed at noon that day. It was precisely because of this dream that she changed her mind and insisted on coming back.
Judging from the timeline, it is estimated that Xiao Luan discovered that she had entered the nightmare realm and tried to awaken her with Xiao Hong, but failed.
Sheng Ming came out on the third day. Xiao Luan had discussed it with him. He had to avoid the mutant monsters and also had to deal with Xiao Luan, so he delayed the plan until the end.
Lu Anru told his guess, but Sheng Ming shook his head.
"No, An Ru. I have tried many times with Qingluan and the fox demon, but we have failed to establish communication with you. Qingluan told me that you must have a strong concern for this world to establish it."
The delicate eyes of the inherited mother flashed with desolation and loneliness. Lu Anru focused all her attention on Sheng Ming's face. When she caught it, her heart ached slightly.
Blunt didn't notice the subtle changes in the expressions of the two people, and complained about his grievances: "Yes, team leader, you don't know, that little Luan has to use the communication technique next to Duan. Three times, we were almost surrounded by mutant monsters. Die. Even if the president insists on waiting for Xiao Luan to finish trying, the president’s hands are contaminated with cold poison due to his frequent use of advanced ice spells.”
Lu Anru heard the deep meaning in Blunt's words and hinted her to explain to Sheng Ming.
In fact, she understands that no matter how trusting the relationship is, some scars still need to be healed by exposing the facts.
Biting his lower lip, he picked out the appropriate content and said: "Xiao Ming, I met another man in the nightmare realm. He had a very unfortunate life. I also learned some bad things, so I stayed longer. Specific details, etc. The mission is over, I’ll tell you slowly.”
"Yes." Sheng Ming agreed in a deep voice, "Let's go to Duan. The only way to save Ella and the others is through the method given by the hat."
Blunt said dumbfounded, "Huh," and followed Lu Anru, lowering his voice and praising: "Awesome, you can defeat the president with just two sentences."
Lu Anru glanced at the man who was not too concerned about the excitement, and slapped his arm that was flailing.
"I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth."
It seemed like she was whispering, but her tone was loud enough for Sheng Ming to hear.
Blunt gave Lu Anru a wink and said, 'I understand, I understand, no need to hide it'.
Lu Anru made a disdainful sound and hugged Sheng Ming's arm.
"By the way, Xiao Ming, where's the mouse spirit?" She just couldn't find the mouse spirit in her bag.
When she once tortured the mouse spirit, the mouse spirit replied in a sinister tone that his boss was a friend of her father. But Lu Anru came to the conclusion based on his insulting words about his father and the fact that he was the trigger for several dangers. His boss was probably his father's nemesis.
"I let him go."
Sheng Ming's casual answer shocked Lu Anru, who almost stumbled. He regained his composure and asked, "Why?"
"His body can quickly move through the monsters. I asked him to guard several scenes where he might land in the nightmare realm, and put the powder bag on you in time. I am afraid that I will miss the first scene when you come back. You have no powder. Bao will be in danger. I left a promise-keeping spell and a single-target tracking spell on him, and he must complete the task before leaving. In addition, we need someone to explore the way and prepare in advance for leaving after the mission."
Lu Anru's mood changed several times as he spoke, and he began to be moved, and gradually came to admire Sheng Ming's thoughtfulness.
"Well, just let it go. Just catch it next time."
Holding Sheng Ming's arm tightly, the three of them chatted and arrived in front of Duan.
No matter how many times he saw Duan, Lu Anru could never find its facial features.
Sheng Ming bowed deeply to Chao Duan. Before Lu Anru could realize what was going on, Blunt followed and bowed 90%.
When everyone is doing the same thing, someone who stands out will seem particularly weird and unsociable.
Due to the urgent need to save people, Lu Anru suppressed his resistance and bowed.
If she kept bowing for a long time, her legs would get sore. Just when she couldn't stand it any longer, a distant voice appeared in the heads of the three of them at the same time.
"You don't need me. I have informed you of the rules. Gouchen's compensation of hundreds of years of cultivation in exchange for ten days is considered an exception. There will be no next time."
Sheng Ming straightened up and pulled Lu Anru up.
He looked at Duan calmly and said calmly: "I bow just to thank you for your kindness in not killing me, nothing else. As for the equal exchange method you talked about with Gou Chen last time, we agree."
"Huh?" Duan asked with interest: "Are you going to give up your hard-earned qualifications and risk being trapped to return to someone's nightmare, just to pull him out?"
Sheng Ming said seriously: "Yes."
Lu Anru nodded, she would always support Sheng Ming's decision. In fact, it is not difficult to guess the basis for Sheng Ming's decision. To maintain the solidity of the ice wall, subzero temperatures are first needed. Even if Sheng Ming has the physical strength and magic power to do this, whether their bodies can bear it is another matter.
Thinking about it from another angle, if the three people advanced recklessly, let alone saving Zhuque or killing Nanke, there was a high chance that they would be imprisoned to accompany Suzaku.
She asked about the situation deep in Sheng Ming's cell and learned that Nanke would rely on the energy of highly evolved life forms to recover and would not take the lives of Suzaku and the others for the time being.
There was silence for a long time, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Blunt glanced at Sheng Ming, and after receiving a nod, he bravely said, "You told Mr. Gou Chen before that if we can rescue an equal number of people, you will set everyone free."
Blount paused, smiled bitterly, and added: "Of course, we know that all opportunities are wasted by useless people. We only have one chance to choose and sacrifice. If we don't succeed, we will die."
Deliberately belittling oneself and promoting the other, describing the team members as "useless people".
Lu Anru frowned. She was still wondering how she could have rejected her, but she let go at this moment. The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. The word "sacrifice" embodied everything.
Allowing the passage of rules has nothing to do with tolerance and kindness. It means not wanting to miss a piece of spiritual fertilizer.
Lu Anru sighed wildly in her heart. The help she applied for was completely different from what she was talking about at the moment.
The help she envisioned was, at best, a challenge in the future world. After completing the challenge, everyone left the nightmare realm together.
After all, she was naive, and the price was beyond her imagination. However, if Sheng Ming could agree, he must have given it careful consideration.
"allow."
With a reply, the three people left the underground cell and stood in the darkness again.
"Eh? Are we in a certain team member's nightmare world?"
Blount turned on the lighting method and turned to look around curiously.
The next second, he screamed like a slaughtering pig: "What the hell, something suddenly fell down, I was scared to death."
Suddenly, many faces appeared in front of the three people, with no bodies, no hair, just faces.
The eyes of each face are slightly closed, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, and the smile is full of happiness. But without the face connected to the body, Lu Anru only felt that the happiness was very scary, eerie and weird.
"I found Charlie's face!" Blount shouted with joy.
Sheng Ming quickly came to Blunt's side, swatted away his hand that had been stretched out in front of his face, and warned sternly: "Don't touch it."
"But President, that's the brother I've been worried about for a long time!" Blunt felt complicated.
Sheng Ming grabbed Blount's arm with one hand to stop him from acting arrogantly, and moved toward Lu Anru with the other hand.
Lu Anru ducked down to avoid the faces, trotted to Sheng Ming's side, and summed up.
"I also recognized many people's faces, including April, Wu Hao, Brother Gu, the three Hakka brothers, and Ella. I guess, we are allowed to choose whose nightmare we enter."
"Yes." Sheng Ming agreed: "After we enter, we only have one chance to wake up the other party, so we must choose carefully."
"That's right. If we enter Charlie's dream, Blunt, are you completely sure about the knowledge of rigidity and distortion?"
Lu Anru saw that Blount was not willing to give in, so he made a follow-up shot in time.
Blunt then thought of his brother's obsession with the ancient culture of the Xia Kingdom and his misunderstanding of idioms. His confidence immediately dropped and he shook his head dejectedly.
The dream was completely created by the original owner. He was not afraid that Charlie would call a deer a horse, but he was afraid that Charlie would call a deer a donkey.
Imagine that the three of them worked hard to enter, and within five minutes it was announced that the rescue had failed and the sacrifice had been successful.
From then on, they accompanied Charlie in the world of nonsense, until their energy and energy were completely drained, and they got goosebumps all over just thinking about it.
"You should have discovered that the real nightmare is not to scare people, but to make the original owner live in illusion forever, forgetting his true heart and self-worth."
As soon as Lu Anru came to the conclusion, Blount nodded repeatedly and responded: "Yes, the president and I were teleported into a strange battle. There were many enemies. Thanks to my invincible magic power, I killed more than half of them instantly. Successfully protected Feng Meng and the team members and became a great hero in people's hearts."
Lu Anru glanced at the smug man with disdain and asked, knowingly: "How did you wake up later?"
Blunt scratched his head, looked at Sheng Ming with admiration, and replied affectionately: "Thanks to the president, he woke up first and dragged his crippled leg to tell me that the real world is very cruel, but we must face it bravely and still be brave. There are people we care about waiting for us to save. Being a hero in the real world is the real hero.”
Sheng Ming ignored Blount's affectionate gaze and looked sideways at Lu Anru. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, with a tacit understanding without revealing the key details.
"Taking it all together, there will be situations where multiple people enter the same dream. We need to analyze each person's circle of close friends and select the most suitable lucky person."
Lu Anru attaches great importance to the word "lucky one". At this moment, the choice must be based on metaphysics. It is best to have a lucky bonus.
Just three seconds after Blount's "hmm" voice of agreement faded, he changed his mind and strongly rejected it: "No, you can't analyze it from the circle of friends. You see, the president and I have nothing to do with each other. I heard him yelling at you at that time. , recalling his powerful image, we ended up getting together. "
"This is trouble."
Lu An's head is as big as a bucket, so it's rare for him to have any clues to dig deeper. Once it has been overturned, it is difficult to find commonalities.
Sheng Ming raised her hand to rub away her frown, and said calmly: "Blunt has entered my nightmare realm. Let's make it simple and find the original owner of the dream. Usually people with strong energy fields or rich imaginations can easily Become the original owner.”
Lu Anru and Blunt looked at Charlie's face together, and shook their heads quickly together, putting Charlie as the last choice.
The three of them pondered for a moment, and then came up with new options one after another.
"Ning Guang."
"April."
"Vice President Wu."
Just after Lu Anru finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck.
Turning his head to meet Sheng Ming's gloomy gaze, he patiently explained: "I think Ning Guang is the crown prince of Xia after all. He has more hopes in reality, so we can find an entry point."
"Ning Guang is out and is not available for selection." The respected president of the Blount Gang replied thoughtfully.
Lu Anru was confused: "The people here are all people who have been eliminated. What's the difference?"
Blunt was momentarily at a loss for words and thought 'uh', thinking how to explain the difference.
Sheng Ming replied in a deep voice: "Ning Guang, Li Mo and you were transported to the same dream. You broke away from the dream. They were lost in the dream and refused to leave, so they were eliminated."
Lu Anru once again caught the loneliness in the other person's eyes. She finally understood why Sheng Ming was feeling uncomfortable. Her bratty brother misunderstood that she was obsessed with the world of Ning Guang alone.
"Xiao Ming, believe me, I didn't know that Ning Guang and I were in the same dream. I dreamed about the future, and I spend most of my time with you, but you still drag me out to say a word."
For fear that Sheng Ming's suspicion would deepen, he could only reveal some more information that would not affect his state of mind: "He asked me to tell you, don't make big mistakes just because you can't bear it. Only you can give happiness to the one you love with your own hands."
"Does my future self say that?"
Sheng Ming stared deeply at the petite person, trying to find the look on her face that was hiding the secret, but her face was full of openness and calmness.
She responded with a heavy 'hmm' and pursed her lips to answer: "Originally he planned to tell me a big secret, but when he learned that I was going back, he said he had no more secrets and asked me to convey this to you. Xiao Ming, do you have any What secrets are you hiding from me?"
Seeing the girl's angry expression, Sheng Ming's gloom was swept away and he laughed for the first time. He raised his hand and scraped off the tip of the girl's nose, promising.
"When the mission is over, I will tell you slowly, and you will tell me slowly what happened in your dream."
"Okay." Lu Anru agreed readily, "Then let's choose one from Wu Hao and Yue Yue. Both of them are leaders in the literary and comprehensive society, so they should be easy to persuade."
Sheng Ming didn't choose and asked, "Do you hate Wu Hao?"
"Yeah, annoying."
The answer came out of her mouth, and she couldn't let go of Wu Hao's harm to Yun Fengmeng. Secondly, Wu Hao is very petty and caressing, which is very unpleasant.
"Then choose him."
Sheng Ming held Lu Anru's hand and walked towards Wu Hao's face.
Lu Anru stood firm, pulled Sheng Ming hard, and shouted: "Wait a minute, why did you choose Wu Hao just because you hate him?"
"Don't you know the reason?" Sheng Ming looked back at her with a smile in his eyes.
reason? Lu Anru thought about Wu Hao's words and deeds, and instantly understood that if they saw too many stains or secrets about Wu Hao, the narrow-minded Haozi would definitely stay away from them.
"Don't choose Wu Hao, choose April."
She remembered Future Sheng Ming's reminder that Wu Hao completely betrayed the academy because of something. It's better to be careful and don't turn Xiao Haozi into Emperor Xuantian's right-hand man.
"good."
Sheng Ming agreed, holding her hand and touching April's little cheek together.
In the blink of an eye, the scene in front of the three people changed, and the festive sound of blowing and beating sounded in their ears.
"Dong Dong Qiang Qiang, welcome to the world of Milota~"
