After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

The bathroom lighting is ambiguous yellow.

Through the brightly polished shower glass and through You Yu's eyes, Chi Nan clearly saw You Yu's body in the mirror.

You Yu deliberately looked at herself in the mirror carefully with a gaze.

He knew that Chi Nan had to keep pace with his sight under the **** of ‘sensory sharing’.

"Does it look good?" You Yu didn't even hold back, curling the corners of her lips slightly.

"Very good." At this moment, Chi Nan is still very honest, even out of date.

You Yu refused to let go of such a good opportunity easily, and continued to ask: "What is the difference between the body and the body you used?"

Chi Nan looked at the mirror image and thought seriously: "The muscle lines are clearer, the shoulders are wider, and then..."

He paused, and finally thought of the appropriate wording, "More aggressive."

You Yu was taken aback by his rhetoric, and then smiled: "Thank you for your evaluation."

"You're welcome."

But Chi Nan obviously said it was too early, because in the next second, You Yu continued to spoil him: "Want to try it?"

This time Chi Nan finally reacted. After a few seconds of silence, he learned from the system's inorganic voice and said: "...it is forbidden to play hooliganism on the system."

"It's a pity, there is no negative option for this question."

You Yu turned on the shower switch, and the warm water sprinkled from her shoulders.

Familiar shower gel mixed with warm water vapor poured into the nasal cavity, and the water flow left a warm and moist touch under the skin.

The strong sense of smell and touch activates Chi Nan's long-asleep senses.

Fresh, strong, everywhere, this is living.

The sound of water splashed down, and countless small water splashes were splashed on the white tiles in the bathroom, and the sound of swimming was melted into the sound of water.

"Can you read my thoughts at this moment?" You Yu asked.

Chi Nan: "No, the system only provides me with sensory sharing, and cannot read your brain."

You Yu tut: "That's a pity."

Chi Nan:?

"Brother Nan, you have disappeared for more than half a year, I have confirmed one thing." You Yu raised his face, letting the water wash and blur the expression on his face.

Chi Nan: "Can you tell me?"

"Of course, it's about you," You Yu paused, "Brother Nan, I really like you and will continue to do so."

Chi Nan was silent for a while: "Okay, I see."

...

After the shower, Yu Yu, who had never blown her hair before, obediently picked up the hair dryer and took care of the wet hair little by little.

"I have always had a question," Chi Nan quickly regained his thinking ability. "If my existence is completely erased from the dream world and the real world, why do you consume the goodwill points on the "permanent right of use" Haven't come back yet? Is the system missing? "

You Yu shook his head: "I haven't been able to find any clues about this. It stands to reason that the liking system is the core system in the dream world, and such stupid mistakes cannot happen."

"The only possibility is that there was a bug in erasing you, which caused the "permanent right of use" to consume the goodwill that could not be returned," You Yu frowned, "Or some kind of hint. "

Chi Nan: "Maybe we didn't get out of the bug in Zicheng?"

You Yu's complexion turned pale, he shook his head and did not speak, and Chi Nan did not continue this disappointing topic. Following the light of You Yu, he looked at the paintings on the wall of 206 that were full of dangdang: "These are all "The Crying" "Youth"?"

You Yu's strained face finally relaxed, and his gaze stayed on countless paintings so that Chi Nan could see "The Crying Boy" more clearly.

"I'm right, cuter than me."

He still remembers how Chi Nan once asked what he looked like in "The Crying Boy".

The answer he gave at that time was that he was cuter than him.

Chi Nan didn't answer his tricky question. He looked at painting seriously for a while and said, "Have you learned painting before?"

You Yu curled his lips and made a sarcastic joke: "Don't forget, dreammakers are omnipotent."

The painting is very detailed. Chi Nan asked, "But you have only seen this painting once, can you remember the details?"

You Yu is certain: "Well, I remember every detail clearly."

"Then...can you draw a picture now?" Chi Nan wanted to share the feeling of "The Crying Boy" born from his own hands through sensory sharing.

You Yu understood Chi Nan's expectation: "Good."

He did not delay, fetched pen and paper, and began to paint familiar paintings as usual.

In fact, You Yu himself is also a bit unbelievable. He only saw "The Crying Boy" when he entered the ghost tunnel for the first time, but in the days that followed, this painting seemed to be carved into his memory... to be precise, It grew out of his memory, and all the details emerged clearly.

As long as he picks up the pen, he can easily restore the painting, as if he had been facing this painting for many years.

But when he was a child, he obviously couldn't see anything.

Following the senses of You Yu, Chi Nan witnessed the gradual formation and birth of a brand new "self" on the white paper. A vague sense of familiarity came, but this feeling was about to come out, but it was fleeting.

It was as if he had seen this scene a long, long time ago. Someone was holding a paintbrush and looking at him and the drawing paper. The paper made a small rustle, and his appearance gradually appeared on the white paper.

It seems that it is also such a cloudy and rainy weather, and the smell of humid rain in the air lingers.

This feeling made Chi Nan feel nostalgic and sad.

I don't know if it is because of sharing You Yu's body that his perception of emotions is clearer and more specific.

You Yu noticed Chi Nan's mood swings in his consciousness, and put down his brush: "What's the matter?"

Chi Nan: "Somewhat sleepy."

You Yu put the newly completed painting on the table: "Then let's sleep."

Chi Nan had some concerns: "But..."

"I'm sleepy too, it's a coincidence." With that, You Yu had turned off the light, turned over and lay on the soft bed, barely yawned and closed his eyes.

Although Chi Nan's new life made him happy that he could not sleep for three days and three nights, it did not prevent him from closing his eyes and breathing lightly, lying motionless on the bed so that Chi Nan in his body could sleep well.

Chi Nan couldn't hear the voice in his mind. He could lie down and think about many things, such as later when Chi Nan woke up and came to the cake shop to get a bigger red velvet cake, and how to eat so many sweets. , His teeth can be guaranteed not to decay.

He is ready for Chi Nan to live in his body for a long time and share his senses. These are all things that ‘cohabitation’ needs to be considered.

Chi Nan still fell asleep in the same way as before, less than five minutes after lying down.

Although You Yu couldn't see it, he was sure that Chi Nan was asleep, so he let his breath lighter.

The rain outside the window started again, and it was getting bigger and bigger, pattering on the window.

Since coming out of the ghost tunnel for the second time, the rain in the dream world has always been continuous.

Why is this so?

He originally thought that with Chi Nan's return, the rain would stop, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

What does rain after rain imply?

You Yu was not willing to open his eyes, and the familiar "Crying Boy" appeared in his mind again. Behind Chi Nan in the painting, there is such an endless rain curtain...

What does the endless rain have to do with Chi Nan?

You Yu allows his thoughts to float in the damp night, while using all his senses to feel the existence of Chi Nan.

Although invisible, the sense of presence in the body is clear and strong, which is enough.

Unconsciously, You Yu fell asleep in absolute peace of mind.

It was the ringtone of the communication device that woke them up.

The ringtone was anxious, and the system issued an alarm of its own--

[Dream Maker 229, please pay attention, there is an urgent call request from Liming Base]

[Dreammaker 229, please connect immediately...]

"Go and answer the phone." Chi Nan has woke up, his voice still a little hoarse.

You Yu has never been so irritable at this moment. He took the communicator and saw that it was a 207 call application. He pressed down a little impatiently and rubbed his temples, and cut to the subject: "What's wrong?"

There was a heavy, rapid breathing from the communicator: "Something happened."

"It's starting to rain in all nightmare dungeons...Without any setting changes," 207's voice trembled like never before, "Dream visitors in the dungeon also disappeared one by one."

You Yu's impatience vanished in an instant, and his expression froze: "Disappeared? Does it mean being directly teleported back to the dawn base?"

"No, it disappeared directly from the dream world, and what's worse is that the dream visitors of the dawn base also began to disappear one after another."

You Yu quickly jumped out of the bed to change clothes, confirmed that there was no danger or bug prompt in his system, and asked urgently: "How long ago?"

207 said with a dumb voice: "It has been for two hours, and I have not been able to contact you during this time."

Youyu reconfirmed his communicator and did not apply for anything other than this call request.

Everything happens in ignorance.

"What about the dreamer?" You Yu asked.

"The dream makers in the base are looking for bugs urgently, but have not been able to find the specific reason. We suspect—"

207 stopped half suddenly when he said that, You Yu frowned: "What's the matter? You continue."

207's voice began to be indistinct: "Disappeared...301, 811, 731, 101... Dreammakers also began to disappear! How could they have been standing beside me just now...!"

"Hello? What's the matter?"

The voice of 207 ceased, and the communicator was silent.

Unable to get any response, Youyu began to try to make a call with other dreamers, but no one responded to him, and there was no bug prompt after rechecking the system.

"Let's go back to Liming Base," Chi Nan said.

You Yu's movements seemed to pause, and then quickly activated the main system emergency channel to transmit back to the dawn base.

...

The towering base building was shrouded in thick rain, and the brightly lit base was so quiet that only the sound of rain was left.

Through You Yu's eyes, Chi Nan clearly saw that the originally dry base was covered with moss, and the walls of the building were also covered with mildew.

"Unlike the bug in Zicheng, the dawn base and the main system are still running, indicating that the energy to maintain the dream world is not being cut off," You Yu looked at the base that appeared to be larger because of absolute silence, "the only anomaly is that Everyone in this world has disappeared, only me and you are left."

Chi Nan stared at the world from You Yu's pupils.

"Maybe we are already in the nightmare dungeon," Chi Nan said, "There is a guess, we have been in a nightmare, since the second time we entered the ghost tunnel, we have already fallen into a dream."
