After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

"If he is me, he shouldn't die so easily. Let's try your luck."

You Yu said lightly, but his anxious steps were not the case. He returned to the rain. Chi Nan remembered that this direction was leading to the ruined cliff behind the dawn base building.

You Yu said that it was a place in the base to dispose of energy waste. No one knew how deep it was, and no one knew where it could go.

As You Yu approached, Chi Nan saw a huge black shadow appearing on the endless plain. Because there was no light source nearby, Chi Nan couldn't see what the uplift was. It stretched on the horizon like a black mountain range. The strong smell of decay spreads in the rain.

Until a cluster of firelight appeared in the dark rain, forming a dazzling red arc and falling to the bottom of the cliff, instantly attracting people's eyes like a signal from the bottom of the abyss.

Chi Nan could see clearly through the light of the fire that the black shadows are the silhouettes of thousands of corpses stacked. The fire light was emitted by the burnt man standing on the edge of the cliff. He held a special waterproof torch to inspect the corpses. Ignite and throw it under the ruined cliff.

The ruined cliff at this point in time was completely reduced to a mass grave where corpses were piled up. In a sense, the corpses can also be classified as waste energy.

Chi Nan recalled the night of the first snow at the dawn base. He saw countless people with torches standing on the other side of the cliff, waiting for him like a sculpture, calling his name.

Those ghosts holding torches are the humans who died in the curse of Dream City hundreds of years ago. Their bodies were stacked and discarded on the edge of the ruins and cliffs. Their souls and grievances were projected like a mirage hundreds of years later. The dawn base first snow night.

Looking at the corpses piled up like a mountain, rotting and swelling in the rain, Chi Nan felt long-lost sadness in his heart.

You Yu has always been very good at hiding his deeds, but unfortunately this corpse burner is also a keen guy. He grabbed a piece of human bone and threw it in the direction of Yu Yu, but his voice was not the slightest flustered: "I can still be here now. It's really rare to see alive people in the city."

"With each other," You Yu cleverly avoided the tossed human bones. He stood in the shadow of the overlap of fire and rain. The other party could just see his green right eye, "Whose corpse are you looking for?"

The corpse-burning man with the torch turned his face now, the fire light illuminates his face, Chi Nan captured the changes on his face from shock to confusion, to surprise, and also saw that the outline of the facial features became more and more obvious. Distinct faces.

The corpse burner was exactly the number 9 they were looking for, and it seemed that he had grown into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

No. 9 was stunned for a moment, and looked over in an unbelievable way: "You... are you back?"

He remembers this green right eye, such an eye can be remembered for a lifetime after seeing it once, and it is impossible to forget it.

"Sorry, I left without saying goodbye last time." Now You Yu is obviously calmer and crazier than he used to be. He quickly looked at No. 9 again, and slightly complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

Relying on You Yu's understanding of "self", this guy who is not afraid of death, since he has agreed to his trading conditions, has a high probability of not leaving before the completion of the transaction.

In addition, on the 9th, he met Chi Nan, who was still the **** of dreams. The other party told him that he was born in the city of dreams and couldn't leave. The poor guy who didn't know was still waiting for the second meeting.

Moreover, for You Yu, staying in this kind of abandoned city will not only be clean and free and undisturbed, but can also search for valuables from the dead, which will kill two birds with one stone, making it much more comfortable to get along with the living.

Because it is ‘self’, You Yu can easily guess the choice and decision of No. 9 and it is not difficult to find him.

No. 9 put the torch into the pile of corpses and shrugged: "You're here early, I haven't finished our deal yet."

"It's okay, you don't guarantee that you will do it, this matter can be put on hold for the time being." I don't know if it is out of so-called jealousy or some evil taste, You Yu did not tell the truth to himself, he seems to be more willing to go. I was kept in the dark.

No. 9 omitted the boring greeting: "Do you know I'm looking for someone?"

You Yu said confidently: "Well, I still know who you are looking for."

After a pause, You Yu raised his lips slightly: "It's the one I like, right?"

The air was silent for a moment, and No. 9 admitted simply: "Yes, what else do you know?"

You Yu: "You can't find him in these corpses."

No. 9 breathed a sigh of relief, squinted slightly and looked over: "Do you know who he is?"

"He told you that his name is Chi Nan, right?" You Yu also bluntly threw the answer over.

In the light of the fire, No. 9's pupils were obviously enlarged, and the laziness in her voice instantly disappeared: "Do you know Chi Nan?"

You Yu was very satisfied with the reaction of'self', and something triumphant flashed in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed: "I and Chi Nan are more than just acquaintances."

The corners of No. 9's lips were strained, and the two faced each other for a while in the rain, and the air was filled with a sense of rattling swords that Chi Nan couldn't understand.

"How can I find him?" No. 9 opened his mouth first, and his always indifferent face rarely showed anger and unwillingness to admit defeat.

No. 9's reaction was exactly what You Yu expected. He confirmed the time and said, "We'll make another deal and use the pocket watch he gave you in exchange."

No. 9 subconsciously grabbed the pocket watch in his pocket and looked at it questioningly: "Do you know this too?"

He had an illusion that was almost terrifying, and the mysterious guy standing opposite knew everything about him.

You Yu seemed to have guessed his thoughts: "I know everything about you and him better than you."

No. 9: "..." He swallowed the phrase ‘Who are you?’ He asked the same question several years ago. Since the other party refused to give a clear answer, he didn’t like to ask it again.

You Yu continued: "You lend me your pocket watch. I will tell you when you can see Chi Nan and how you can see him."

Seeing No. 9 with her lips stretched and not speaking, You Yu added, "I just borrowed the pocket watch for a period of time. I will return it to you in the future, I promise."

"What do you want this pocket watch for?" No.9 looked over in confusion.

You Yu has reached out to him: "Completing a very important task is related to whether you can meet Chi Nan again in the future."

No. 9's heartbeat and blood clotted for a moment. For a moment, he took out his pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to You Yu's open hand: "Now you can tell me."

You Yu got his wish and ‘lied’ to the pocket watch, folded his fingers and smiled at him and said, “It’s very simple, just wait and he will show up in front of you.”

No. 9: "...that's it?"

You Yu shrugged: "Otherwise, what do you think? Maybe wait a few hundred years."

There was a fire in No. 9's dark eyes, and he dashed forward to **** the pocket watch that had been ‘lied’ off, but You Yu had already avoided his **** first.

"Hey, don't be so impatient. When I complete the task, Chi Nan will be sent to you."

No. 9's skill is still far below You Yu. He robbed several times to no avail. He was soaked in the rain and calmed down and returned a little. He suppressed the anger in his eyes, and fixedly looked at You Yu: "Where are you from? Where did you come from?"

You Yu smiled at him: "A very distant future."

No. 9's movements stopped, even her breathing didn't stop consciously.

These words looked as unreliable as the guy in front of him, but No.9 felt that the other party had told the biggest truth since they met each other.

"Besides waiting, is there anything else I can do?" No.9 chose to trust his instincts.

You Yu thought for a while: "I know you are not afraid of death, but if you want to wait for someone, first you have to live. In less than 2 hours, this dawn tower will be destroyed, and the whole dream city will suffer. You should hurry and leave. here."

"After that, save enough money to find a forbidden painting called "The Crying Boy" and buy it, and then save it well until you die."

No. 9 looked into the depths of You Yu's eyes: "That's it?"

You Yuxiao: "It's not easy to do this well. Just wait, be patient, you will see Chi Nan."

As he said, he shook the pocket watch he had ‘robbed’, "This thing will come back to you one day."

After speaking, You Yu turned and walked into the rain, walking towards the towering dawn tower.

"Hey," No. 9 did not catch up, and said to You Yu's back, "What is the relationship between you and me?"

You Yu paused but didn't look back: "Well, I don't want to tell you now."

No.9:"…"

You Yu said again: "But I can tell you clearly that you and Chi Nan are..."

"Physical relationship."

No.9:"…!"

…

"You really want to pit yourself." Witnessing everything that happened on Youyu and 9th, Chi Nan concluded.

"You can't lose," You Yu laughed: "And I have no pitfalls, every sentence I say is the truth."

Chi Nan: "..." In a sense, it really cannot be refuted.

You Yu pointed his pocket watch at the recognition area at the entrance of the Dawn Tower, just like in the first-level dream, with the sound of a "drop", the closed doors of the Dawn Tower opened to both sides.

The inside of the tower was pitch black, there was no sound in silence, and the breathing and heartbeat of You Yu were multiplied in the dead silence.

"Can you find the location of the original 2906 office?" Chi Nan asked.

According to the system's prompts and the verification of the pocket watch symbolizing "time", the clues of this layer of dreams and the first layer are the same, so the place where they opened the ghost tunnel should not change.

"no problem."

The structure inside the tower is the same as that of the Liming Base office building. Youyu itself has a strong sense of direction. Moreover, no one is more familiar with the office building. Even in the dark, he can quickly identify the direction, directly along the stairs of the emergency passage. Walk towards the 2906 office.

After climbing up to the 29th floor on foot, Yu Yu met a little pant, countless open rooms sank in the dark lacquered corridor, only the white door of room 2906 was closed tightly, and the yellow light leaked from the crack of the door and spilled on the red carpet.

The "9" of 2906 also fell off the door, and the number on the house plate became "2+06".

All the scenes are exactly the same as those presented in the first dream, even giving the two the illusion of time confusion.

In other words, the flow of time in this world is not the way people are accustomed to.

You Yu stopped outside the door, and the motion of holding the doorknob stopped. He was a little worried—

"Brother Nan, you..."

"I'm ready."

Chi Nan was sure that he was ready to meet his past self.
