2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

It was already 3 o'clock in the morning when I got home.

Yan Muyun lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Suddenly he turned over and sat up, picked up the black helmet on the table next to him, and put it on his head.

Close your eyes and open them, you are already under a starry night sky.

The moonlight was like water, the breeze blew through the green grass, and the intermittent chirping of insects came from the distance.

"This way."

Hearing a familiar voice from behind, Yan Muyun turned his head and saw a young man in his twenties with soft facial features who looked very friendly, sitting on the lawn and waving to him.

"Dabao, why are you still up so late?"

A young woman in a white dress floated down from the sky and slowly landed next to him. She smiled brightly and said, "How about it, is mom pretty? Does she look like a fairy?"

"Like, you are so beautiful. I don't know how my father caught you in the first place." Yan Muyun gave a thumbs up.

The young man not far away was unhappy: "I was a popular figure in college, one of the top ten singers on campus, and the president of the campus newspaper..."

"There are too many girls chasing you." Yan Muyun directly completed the second half of the sentence for his father.

"Hey." Young Yan Guocheng grinned.

Yan Muyun walked over, sat next to his father, and then lay down on the lawn.

"So, why are you still up so late?" Li Hui came over and sat on the other side of her son, repeating the question just now.

"I suddenly missed you." Yan Muyun said with a silly smile.

Yan Guocheng and Li Hui looked at each other, and their appearance suddenly began to age at the same time, eventually returning to the fifty-year-old appearance that Yan Muyun was most familiar with.

"How about we sleep here tonight." Yan Guocheng patted his son on the shoulder.

"Will carrying electronic devices for too long be harmful to the brain?" Li Hui was a little worried.

Yan Guocheng looked at his wife helplessly: "Not many young people wear helmets every day, and there are no problems."

"You know so much, you are amazing." Li Hui glanced back without any sign of weakness.

"Shh, Dabao seems to be falling asleep."

Under the starry night sky, Yan Muyun was lying on the lawn, his eyes gently closed.

...

"Mom...Mom? Where are you?"

...

"Mom!" Yan Muyun suddenly sat up suddenly, breathing heavily and looking pale, as if he had just experienced something extremely terrible.

"What's wrong?"

A familiar voice came from beside him. He turned his head and looked over. Li Huizheng was looking at him anxiously and worriedly.

"That's great." Yan Muyun rushed over to hug her and buried his head in his mother's arms.

Li Hui was startled by him, but quickly reacted and reached out to gently stroke his back.

"Are you having a nightmare?" Yan Guocheng asked in confusion.

Yan Muyun recovered from his brief gaffe, straightened up, and showed an embarrassed smile: "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."

"Like a child." Li Hui smiled.

However, Yan Guocheng still frowned, sensing something was wrong: "Did something happen outside?"

"It's okay, it's okay, everything is fine."

Yan Muyun smiled reluctantly, then thought of something and subconsciously asked, "What time is it now?"

"Eight in the morning."

Li Hui responded, and then asked with some concern: "You didn't sleep for long last night, and your mental state is not very good. Do you want to take a day off?"

After hearing the time, Yan Muyun looked at his mother carefully again, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, I'd better go to work."

"Okay, then go ahead." Yan Guocheng patted him on the shoulder: "Now you are a responsible adult."

"hey-hey."

Yan Muyun grinned, waved goodbye to his parents at last, and logged out.

...

After taking off the helmet, my forehead and back were completely soaked with cold sweat. I could feel the faint moisture when I put my hand on the pillow.

Yan Muyun put his helmet aside and stretched out his hand to rub his forehead.

In the virtual space, he pretended to be relaxed and nothing happened, but in fact, his inner worries and fears had almost reached their peak.

Lying in bed last night, his heart was beating so fast that he couldn't sleep no matter what. He regretted countless times and wanted to call Tang Wuling to stop the operation, but in the end he was restrained by reason.

He decided to let Black Umbrella help tonight, firstly because of his trust in Tang Wuling, and secondly because he didn't want to see his nephew make another mistake. But it is undeniable that he also had some impulsive factors in making this decision.

If impulsiveness leads to irreversible consequences, he really doesn't know how he will get out of his future grief.

Yan Muyun was so scared that the hollow feeling he felt when he woke up and learned that his parents had passed away was still imprinted in the deepest part of his memory.

He couldn't imagine, and didn't want to imagine, his mother leaving him for the second time.

It is now 8:12 in the morning, and nothing abnormal has occurred in the virtual space for the time being.

Yan Muyun adjusted his mentality, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then set off to work with Yan Long.

...

Haicang District Special Branch Bureau, Yan Muyun felt that the atmosphere was a little different from the past the moment he entered the office.

Han Yinzhu was as restless as ever. As soon as he saw him, he jumped up and waved and asked, "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, is Su Tianyu dead?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Yan Muyun forced a smile on his face and nodded.

"I heard from Captain Wei that the punisher killed him, and you successfully installed a biological information tracking device on the punisher's body." Han Jinyu licked his lips, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Yes, it's me too." Yan Muyun nodded.

"If you tell me what you did during your time in the Special Branch Bureau, no one will believe that you are an intern. They will all think that you are our ace commissioner."

Zhong Xiaoxiao looked cheerful as always, and raised the potato chips in his hand: "Would you like to eat?"

"Thank you, Sister Xiao Xiao. I just had breakfast." Yan Muyun rubbed his stomach and declined politely.

The door of the office inside opened. Wei Jun walked out, looked around the office, and nodded when he saw everyone was here: "Let's go to the conference room and make a plan to arrest the punisher."

"good."

Everyone packed up their things and got up and walked out of the office. Zhong Xiaoxiao took the elevator alone, and everyone else took the stairs.

The meeting lasted until about ten o'clock, and they generally used the video on Jieke and the information currently available to the police and the Special Branch to make reasonable guesses about the powers of the punisher and formulate an arrest plan.

Yan Muyun was a little absent-minded throughout the meeting, but fortunately he was just an intern and had made great achievements last night. Wei Jun, who noticed something strange about him, chose to turn a blind eye.

At 10:07, Yan Muyun suddenly received a message. A message from a person with the note "Serious" popped up in the upper right corner of the frame:

{Yan Muyun, what happened? Why did your mother suddenly disappear? }

This news was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yan Muyun's heart hard, making his vision darken for a moment, and his body was shaking and almost falling to the ground.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the side to hold his shoulder. It was Yan Long who was sitting next to him.

Yan Muyun raised his head with some difficulty and saw the other party's pale face, which was also filled with fear and uneasiness.
