"That's right, but if we stay here, we will die!" Su Xiaoyun screamed, "Even if I know this is a dream!"

"What?" Shi Yitong looked at Su Xiaoyun in surprise, "What did you just say? Dreaming?"

"That's right, we're dreaming!" I shouted while trying to keep my body still, "It's impossible to bump into ghosts on such a wide road in broad daylight, and it's impossible for the fog to fall with the rain. Not to mention there are so many ghosts of unknown origin!"

"But but but, if we die in our dreams, what will happen in reality?" Shi Yitong yelled out in horror.

"Will you wake up in reality!" A skeleton hand reached out to Su Xiaoyun, and she screamed in fright with a cry.

"But there is also a saying that if you die in a dream, you will never wake up in reality again!" I shouted loudly.

Even if we don't move at all, those foul-smelling zombies are still approaching us step by step, and some even stretched out their sharp bony hands in an attempt to scratch our skin.

"I don't know!" Su Xiaoyun screamed in a broken voice, "But we should have no choice now! Die or die!"

Countless ghosts and zombies attacked us with their terrifying ghost hands. Amidst the screams, they pierced our hearts and swarmed up to eat our corpses...

"ah!!!"

I woke up from my sleep, or rather... I was woken up by Su Xiaoyun's scream. The queen deserves to be the queen, and the decibels of her screams are also the scariest. Even Gulu, who was in her arms, was startled by her sudden sound, and quickly jumped under the seat with a "meow".

I blinked, only to realize that the three of us were still sitting in the last row of the bus, and the bus was moving forward slowly, and because of Su Xiaoyun's scream just now, everyone in the front row turned their heads to stare at us. Looking at us, some people secretly scolded us, "Why are young people nowadays so impolite?"

Su Xiaoyun panted, and it took several seconds to realize where she was, and then awkwardly apologized to the passengers in the car, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I had a nightmare, I'm sorry..."

I quickly took out a napkin from my pocket and handed it to Su Xiaoyun, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Su Xiaoyun couldn't even speak, so she took the tissue and shook her head, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Shi Yitong was the last to wake up, so I don't know if it has something to do with his noodle-length reflex arc. As soon as he woke up, he started screaming. Fortunately, I covered his mouth in time, and then he looked at me with eyes as big as copper bells, and it took a long time before he returned to reality.

"Are we still on the bus?" He asked, pushing my hand away.

"Yes. And it seems that I haven't arrived at the station yet." I nodded and looked out the window. The bus was driving smoothly on the road. There were neither dark clouds nor thick fog outside the window. The sky was blue and white, and it was not at all weird as in the previous dream.

He glanced down at his watch. At 10:05, the bus was about to arrive.

"So what we just experienced was really a dream?" Shi Yitong showed an incredulous expression, "But how could it be possible for three people to have a dream at the same time?"

"I don't know. But I have a bad feeling." I whispered.

"Yancheng University has arrived. Passengers who want to get off, please line up and get off through the back door." The electronic female voice on the bus said without emotion, the bus stopped slowly, the door opened, and we walked along the flow of people got out of the car.

Outside is the Yanda Station that we are familiar with, the weather is fine, and there is no strange fog around. Everything is normal, and vehicles and pedestrians are passing by us, but for some reason, the weird premonition in my heart still hasn't disappeared.

"Okay, since it's just a dream, don't worry about it." Shi Yitong didn't seem to care at all, "Let's go back to school quickly. If we go back late, the teacher in our class will definitely be nagging again."

"That's right." Su Xiaoyun forced a smile, "Let's go back quickly."

I nodded too, and reached out to hail a taxi. Although the content of that dream was really weird, we also had to temporarily suppress this feeling to the bottom of our hearts and return to the normal rhythm of life.

"Master, go to Yancheng University." I sat in the passenger seat of the taxi and said.

"Yancheng University?" The driver was a teacher in his forties, he seemed very strange, and asked uncertainly, "Are you talking about the old Yancheng University?"

"Yancheng University is Yancheng University." Su Xiaoyun asked strangely, "Is there a second university in Yancheng?"

"Uh... that's gone."

"Let's go then." I urged.

The driver master didn't ask any more questions, started the car and drove to the destination. Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong were still discussing courses and teachers in the back row, as if everything was back on track.

"... You must have very little homework in your major. You don't know that we majored in engineering. In addition to handing in homework every day, we also had to draw design drawings. I was not good at art since I was a child. Every time I drew design drawings, I was very bad. Then we The design teacher always scolded me badly." Shi Yitong said with a sad face, "To be honest, I really don't want to go back and see him."

"What are you? We have a lot of homework in our class. And the homework is nothing. The worst thing is to memorize texts and concepts every day. But I can do it." Su Xiaoyun glanced at me proudly, "Because every day Every time, Gu Yu put me at the bottom."

"Hey, it's not as exaggerated as being at the bottom!" I turned around dissatisfied, which made the two of them laugh.

Not long after, the taxi stopped, and the driver turned his head at me, "Here we are."

I froze for a moment, then turned to look out the window. There is no university gate at all outside the window, but a mess of rocks and old abandoned buildings, standing alone, and the walls are covered with some parasitic vines.

"It's here? No, I'm talking about Yancheng University." I said strangely.

"That's why I asked you again. If you said Yancheng University, then it is right here." The driver felt even more strange, "That's why I said, maybe you made a mistake."

"No, we didn't make a mistake!" I asked in surprise, "We are going to Yancheng University, that is a university, not an abandoned building."

"But this is the old site of Yancheng University." The master scratched his hair, "There is indeed only such a university in Yancheng... But it has long been abandoned."

"Gu Yu, wait." Su Xiaoyun interrupted me with a trembling voice, "I think... this might really be Yancheng University."

"What did you say?" Shi Yitong was taken aback.

We jumped out of the taxi and ran to the ruins to have a look.

What Su Xiaoyun said is true, the location of the school is still here, but the school gate is dilapidated, and the ruined buildings inside that are about to collapse can barely recognize that it is the teaching building of Yanda University. Judging from the damage of the building, it should have been abandoned for at least five years.

"This is impossible!" Shi Yitong turned around and asked the taxi driver, "Master, what time is it?"

"Uh, uh... Eleven o'clock in the morning." The driver was taken aback and replied tremblingly.

"No, what year did I ask?" Shi Yitong grabbed the window of the taxi and asked, "What year is it now?"

"What year? Uh, uh... 2016." The driver replied inexplicably.

"The time hasn't changed." Shi Yitong murmured, "But, but how is this possible? We were still studying here four days ago!"

The driver looked at us with crazy eyes, "You were still going to school here four days ago, there must be something wrong with your brains! Yan University was abandoned six or seven years ago!"

We stared blankly at the driver, but the driver seemed to really regard us as unreasonable lunatics, hurriedly shrank into the car and rolled up the windows, and drove away from here without even asking for the fare.

"I, I don't understand!" Shi Yitong scratched his hair in a bit of a breakdown, "Now we are not dreaming! Why, what happened? 2016, this year is 2016! Or, how many times before us Is Yue's college life a dream?"

"Shi Yitong! Can you calm down!" Su Xiaoyun slapped Shi Yitong on the back of the head unceremoniously.

"How can you tell me to calm down in this situation!" Shi Yitong said frantically.

"If you can't calm down, you have to calm down!" I yelled, which scared the other two people, and they all looked at me in silence.

Compared with what happened to the school, I am more concerned about what happened to the old house on the mountain behind the school.

Is Wen Jiubai still there? If he was at school, how could something like this happen here? No, no, if this school never existed, how could I come here to go to school? How could it be possible to meet Wen Jiubai

The worst-case scenario is... Wen Jiubai doesn't exist at all, the encounter between me and him is just a dream...

no! Impossible, stop thinking about it! I know more than anyone else that Wen Jiubai really exists!

"Shi Yitong, Su Xiaoyun, can I trouble you to go inside the school? Maybe you can find some clues!" I took a deep breath and begged, "I have to go to the back mountain to take a look, I don't know what happened to Wen Jiubai .”

"Okay, no problem." Su Xiaoyun seemed to have calmed down, she nodded and agreed, "Shi Yitong and I will go to the school to have a look, maybe we can find someone who knows the situation and ask. You go to the old house, But be careful. If anything goes wrong, give us a call!"

"Okay, no problem. Thank you." I shook the phone in my pocket and said sincerely.

"Okay, stop talking, let's go!" Shi Yitong patted me, I nodded, and ran towards the back hill of the school at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
