Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"let me go!"

In the dark. Blurry images approach from afar. It was as if I was approaching the screen in a movie theater, there was no light other than the projection, and I was the only audience around.

"Tsk, I didn't kill someone on purpose, how many times do I have to say it before you believe me? Let me go!"

The hoarse noise of the police siren pulled the penetrating red light outside the window, and the light turned into a dazzling blue in an instant, forming a series of pictures one after another.

"It was the Core Research Association who framed me! Everything I did was just self-defense, how can I trust me!"

The young man, almost being dragged away by the police, defended sharply. His body blocked the police lights behind him, reflecting the darkness in front of him, making it difficult for me to see the young man's face clearly. The police officer dragged the young man away from the messy living room, and the scene transitioned through overlapping red and blue lights, and came to a crimson ominous sky.

It's a crack in a dream.

A line of text faded into the lower right corner of the screen, "Dream Calendar 98, the time for the 14th Domination War decisive battle".

The camera panned down slowly, and from a distance, a shrunken figure was seen walking in the town until it stood still in front of a thatched cottage.

Switching to the close-up, Lin Yu's face appeared in front of the camera. He opened the broken door curtain, and there were explosive barrels piled up in the thatched cottage, and the ceiling directly above was much weaker than other places.

"As a last resort. An explosion at this location should affect the Xinghai Tavern...Although I feel a little sorry for him, I can only forcefully blow that kid back to reality."

After Lin Yu talked to himself, his frowning eyebrows stretched out, and finally turned into a sigh of helplessness from his mouth.

The cracks in the dream at this time are unusually quiet. Except for the occasional noises made by Lin Yu, there were no other voices to be found.

Lin Yu looked up at the scene above. The only thing in the sky that was still shining brightly was the clock, which was particularly eye-catching.

After all, it was the only light in the breathless crimson.

"If the idiot Lulu is here, he will force me to return to reality, right?"

Reach out to the high-altitude clock, and the light falls into the palm of your hand. Lin Yu held the only light in despair, and a smile appeared on his face for a moment.

"It's still ten minutes before the time we agreed with Su Ruoyang... let's go back!" At this point, Lin Yu's cheeks suddenly showed an imperceptible blush, "It's not that I can't wait to see her."

Lin Yu shook his head quickly, patted his cheeks hard twice, let out a long breath, and closed his eyes.

The scene immediately shifts to an ordinary living room. The text appeared again in the lower right corner, "June 30, Seaside City".

Lin Yu, who was lying on the bed, rubbed his eyes in a daze, stretched his long waist and sat up from the bed.

The fan was shaking his head from side to side, and the airflow that was blowing did not reduce the heat in the slightest. The door of the room was not closed tightly, and it was blown by the fan and was shaking at the crack of the door.

Lin Yu drove away the confusion wrapped in his head, scratched his hair and walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the living room, Lin Yu saw the girl on the sofa, with her arms folded on her chest and her head shrugged.

Lin Yu's cheeks flushed after only one glance at her, and he hurriedly looked away. Because the girl was only wearing a white shirt at this time, and it was a boy's style. The loose size seemed to be simply draped on her body.

Standard boyfriend shirt. The buttons of the clothes were not all buttoned up, and under the brown hair scattered on the shoulders, the white skin on the chest was looming. Although the key parts were well covered by the bra, it was this state of being on the verge of the limit that made Lin Yu's heart itch. The bare legs are slanted, without any cover.

However, Lin Yu's erratic gaze fell back on the tea cat for some reason. The flush on her cheeks gradually faded away. He suddenly plucked up his courage and walked up to the tea cat to get close to her sleeping face.

The tea cat seemed to be struggling with her drowsiness. She raised her head but couldn't help lowering it. She could vaguely see the transparent bubble floating above her.

Lin Yu couldn't help but smiled, and gently brushed the hair hanging from the tea cat's mouth. The tea cat made a displeased "ow" sound, coquettishly warning Lin Yu not to touch it. Like an orange cat whose slumber was disturbed by someone, it was upset but immediately forgot, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Lin Yu picked up the quilt that was put aside, and gently covered the tea cat. The tea cat immediately wobbled and fell down, as if the quilt was so heavy. She turned sideways with the quilt between her legs, and dazedly grasped the quilt to cover her small mouth, and her breathing quickly calmed down.

"At least I'm living in someone else's house, so I should pay more attention to my own image."

Lin Yu complained softly to the tea cat who lacked common sense, but her tone was so gentle that it would melt in the next second. He didn't bother the tea cat any more, his eyes glanced at the vial containing the luminous substance on the table, and he turned to look into another room. The door was not closed, and he could see the scene in the room at a glance, and the figure of another girl came into his eyes.

"Sure enough, Xue Xueer hasn't left yet... But, she doesn't have anywhere else to go?"

Xue Xueer is in charge of three meals a day, and Chamao has to go out to work during the day. Lin Yu heard about the daily arrangement when she returned to reality last time.

"Forget it... let me prepare breakfast today."

Lin Yu stretched back a lot, went back to the bedroom, took the mobile phone by the bed, left a note on the table, and prepared to go out quietly. But before he set off, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the whiteboard at the door, and he stopped.

"Speaking of which, they... are taking turns keeping vigil?"

The picture is zoomed in on the whiteboard, and the ink writing clearly writes something similar to a schedule. The seven days of the week are divided into two parts, and the names of Tea Cat or Xue Xueer are marked to represent who is in charge of that day.

"Dream stealers are still chasing us? These guys... have clearly failed to dominate the war."

Lin Yu closed the door softly and turned on the phone. Although I haven't woken up for several days, the phone's battery is still full.

This made Lin Yu feel confused for a moment, and then immediately showed a look of enlightenment.

The corners of the mouth were drawn to hide pampering, but the eyes betrayed him. Just by seeing his expression, one would sincerely feel that this person must be in a state of happiness.

"It's always said that she doesn't have the common sense of modern people, but it's easy to do this kind of thing."

Lin Yu giggled, stuffed the phone into his pocket, and walked briskly.

"Maybe this guy still has untapped attributes of a wife? In addition, he would rather work by himself than use the money I left for her. The attributes of thrift and housekeeping are extremely rare in today's society! Oops, it's my first choice to continue like this." Fall."

Lin Yu happened to pass the Winter Bridge at this time, he couldn't help but stand still, his eyes went up the stairs, until he fell to the memory of the early summer season.

The cold touch is like melting snow, bringing a slightly sweet wind in the heart.

"I finally understand why some people always say, 'I even figured out the names of the children when I meet my eyes'...I actually think about what it will be like when I step into the marriage hall, I'm not right anymore Bar."

Lin Yu slapped his cheek vigorously, but he still couldn't help but be immersed in the fantasy future, and couldn't extricate himself, and the steps under his feet also became light.

However, the happiness didn't last long before it turned into frustration.

Because it was still early, all the breakfast shops on the street were closed at this time. Until I walked all the way to the vicinity of Rongtan Street, I couldn't find another person on the deserted street, let alone a store that was open.

I have become accustomed to staying in the cracks of Liao's uninhabited dreamland, and I almost forgot to care about whether there are pedestrians on the street.

Lin Yu, who had lost her common sense, suddenly lost the qualification to accuse the tea cat of lacking common sense.

Lin Yu reluctantly dragged his reflection under the street lamp to go home, but just as he turned around, he remembered that Rongtan Street was brightly lit until the wee hours of the morning.

Just about to walk into the alley leading to Rong Tan Street—a street that was deserted just now, suddenly a car drove by.

The wheels moved quietly to Lin Yu's side, and the passengers in the rear rolled down the windows.

"Yo, what a coincidence, we met again just as I was about to look for you."

The man who appeared in the picture raised his hand and leaned on the window sill, and his tone of greeting was erratic, as if pretending to be a sleeping beast waiting for an opportunity. The moment Lin Yu looked at him, he immediately wrinkled his nostrils, as if he could see the maliciousness in the other's eyes, and fled in the opposite direction without thinking.

"I don't care about the pleasantries of old friends. I never thought you would be so rude."

Professor Huan wiped off the dust left by the cuffs leaning against the car window, and snapped his fingers briskly. The body of the car sped away in an instant, and stepped on the accelerator as if receiving an order that could not be violated.

"The president of the Core Research Association is gone, why is this guy still lingering!"

While complaining, Lin Yu turned into an alley where vehicles couldn't get in. Professor Huan was one step behind him and braked on the side of the street, and the people who got out of the car immediately chased after Lin Yu's position. Although these people have different clothes, they all have the characteristics of desperadoes. Just looking at them all makes people feel very bad.

The distance that was finally opened began to shrink without much effort. Lin Yu kicked down the trash can next to him, tried every means to block the chasers, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to make an emergency call, waiting for the police to transfer.

The people behind were chasing after him, and Lin Yu, who was fighting with them blindly, did not expect the glass in front to shatter suddenly.

The crystal fragments flew away, and Lin Yu hurriedly raised his arms, only to find that opposite the broken window, several men jumped out of the building, blocking his way. Two roads surrounded Lin Yu.

At the very moment, Lin Yu quickly lowered his waist and grabbed the fragments on the ground, and jumped in front of the man closest to him, overturning his center of gravity with the force of his pounce, raised his arms and ruthlessly embedded the fragments into the second man's body. The neck, then rushed forward and switched hands to punch the last person in the abdomen, turned around and kicked him with a roundabout kick several meters away, just knocking down the person who was chasing behind.

Lin Yu took advantage of this gap to attach the phone to his ear, and quickly reported his address. Unexpectedly, a gunshot erupted from behind and immediately disrupted Lin Yu's position. He had no time to care whether the bullet was aimed in his direction. He only saw the entrance of the alley close at hand, so he hurried out. The gunshots followed his steps and approached, and the burst of air flow passed him the moment he ran out of the alley and turned the corner.

The alley leads to the boulevard. It was definitely an overwhelming disadvantage to Lin Yu, after all, the other party had a gun in his hand. However, there are two reasons for running here knowing that it is unfavorable. One is that there is indeed a factor of panic; the other is that this is the upper flyover of the Winter Bridge.

Lin Yu rushed to the stairs leading to the bottom, hurriedly quickened his pace, jumped down the dark tunnel three steps at a time, ran across the deserted road, turned a corner and disappeared. The leader had just passed the stairs to the tunnel at this time, knowing that he could not catch up with Lin Yu, he put his ear to the other end of the earphone and began to report the situation.

The screen cuts back to Lin Yu's home. Lin Yu broke into the door in a panic, panting heavily. But as soon as he looked in the direction of the sofa, he found that the house was in a mess. Neither the tea cat nor Xue Xueer disappeared, only the note he left on the table has been removed and replaced with a pink note.

Lin Yu hurried over to tear off the note, and the shaking camera zoomed in on the note, showing the content on it.

"I saw the note you left~ Welcome back. The Dream Thief came to harass you again just now. Anyway, don't worry about us, let us handle it."

Apparently the home had also been attacked. Lin Yu put down the note, turned around and saw the sheets scattered on the ground, covered with overturned water stains. There were signs of fighting in the living room, the windows were open to the outside, and there was still water on the floor that hadn't been wiped off in time.

Suddenly, the area of ​​water poured out a red light outside. Lin Yu immediately noticed the rapid and repeated alarm bells, and leaned over the window to look down, only to see a police car parked downstairs.

The policeman who got out of the car happened to look towards Lin Yu's window. Lin Yu instinctively touched the phone in his pocket, a trace of doubt flashed between his brows.

Although he had called the police, the address he told the other party on the phone was not his home. No matter how panicked he was at the time, Lin Yu didn't think he would make such a mistake.

After hesitating, the police had already gone upstairs and entered Lin Yu's living room. The other party hastily showed the document in his hand, and waved his hand casually to the rear. Undoubtedly, a few policemen approached Lin Yu, swung the handcuffs and blocked his hands. The speed of the action caught Lin Yu by surprise, and he had no time to think about it.

"Wait...! What are you doing?"

"Arrest the suspect in the murder case..." The policeman who came in at first took off his police cap to take care of himself, and suddenly squinted his eyes and looked over, and said with a smile, "Ah, to put it bluntly, you are the criminal. "

"Prisoner? What are you talking about? I didn't kill—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange color flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and the image of him stabbing glass shards into someone's neck flashed for a moment.

The two policemen next to him dragged Lin Yu's body and prepared to take him away without saying a word. Lin Yu hurriedly hooked the legs of the dining table and defended loudly.

"No, that's not the case...! This is self-defense. I called the police! Your call should be recorded, right?"

As if he had expected Lin Yu to say this, the policeman leaning on the door showed his equipment, and the chase in the alley was replayed through the recording, and the noise caused by the running was shaking from side to side in his pocket. Whoever attacked first, only when the end was approaching, Lin Yu reported a string of addresses.

At the end of the recording, the man spread his hands pretending to be helpless, took out a lighter from his chest pocket, and bit the cigarette butt by his mouth.

At this moment, Lin Yu realized that no matter how he explained it, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he couldn't help but relax the tension in his body, and let the two policemen drag him away from the dining table.

"Anyway, come with us. There's no need to go through such a lot of trouble, Mr. Lin Yu."

The man's words suddenly gave Lin Yu goosebumps. He suddenly widened his eyes, and the moment he saw the sly smile on the man's face, he came to his senses, and the consequences of being taken away by the other party exploded in his thoughts. Lin Yu struggled again and hurriedly tugged on the chain, but neither the handcuffs nor the police were bothered.

"Let go of me! You've all been tricked! This guy is an accomplice to the deceased, don't listen to him! Let me go!"

The figure of Lin Yu in the picture is pulled away bit by bit, and the flickering lights reflect into the room to form a natural filter.

The man at the door walked into the room with a smile, made way for the two police officers, and leaned against the wall of the living room.

"I didn't kill anyone intentionally! It was the Core Research Association who framed me. All I did was self-defense. How can I trust me?!"

The figure passed the door and disappeared from the screen as soon as it turned a corner. The remaining police officer exhaled the smoke from his mouth, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and left the scene together.

The alarm bell left with a loud noise, taking away the beam of light that flowed into the room.

The picture still stopped at the current scene, but the dark sky began to turn brighter, and the time came to the morning of that day. The girl with long ice-blue hair rushed into the room in a hurry, with her arm in front of the door, the words she was about to say were suppressed by the mess in front of her eyes. Xue Xueer stood blankly in front of the door, adjusted her chaotic breathing, and finally lost her strength and slowly squatted down, burying her head forward to her knees.

The lone figure seemed extraordinarily lonely at this time. After some time, Xue Xueer's eyes seemed to be attracted by something she saw out of the corner of her eye. She reached out to grab something on the ground and held it in her palm.

The picture turned to her open palm, lying on a cigarette butt. There is nothing special about it itself, just a burnt waste product.

But none of the three people living in this home had the habit of smoking.

In addition, the only thing worthy of attention is the unique imprint on the cigarette butt, which seems to be the logo of the core research association.

The lens gradually focused on the cigarette butt, making everything around it blurry. It was as if the camera had refocused. When clarity is restored, the center of the picture is still the cigarette butt, but the scene is completely different.

Under the scorching sun, the former policeman was still smoking his cigarette as if nothing had happened. Dozens of criminals in prison uniforms stood in front of them.

"Welcome to the land of repentance and repentance. Today [Beijing time, June 30, 2018], you are about to go to the isolated time zone and confess your sins. New bastards, take advantage of this With plenty of time, let’s reform ourselves, shall we?”

As soon as the voice fell, the flickering lights and sound effects replaced the scene in front of him. Under the sleeping music of ASMR, Lin Yu walked into the cell without saying a word, and the flashing red warning light brought the picture to an unknown unknown world. disk stage" line.

"If I told you that the purpose of our war of domination is not to win, my lord, what would you think?"

Lin Yu read these words as if gnashing his teeth. There are scars left by the sharp sword everywhere on the body, and the bright red color flows out continuously.

The girl standing in front of him put away her sword, approached him step by step, and lifted his cheek with her index finger with undeniable strength.

"Really? Everyone who comes here longs for the power to control reality. If so, the three of you are indeed a bit special. However, the people who came here before you all climbed up level by level through legitimate means .You are the first cheaters so far, and you will be the last.”

The screen zooms to the distant view in an instant. The huge clock stands above the sky, different from the clock of the ruler, the clock of the observer has a sacred atmosphere everywhere, watching everything like a heaven. Lin Yu and the girl stood on the edge of the clock, not far away were two unconscious bodies. There are visible scars on the vital parts of Jingshi and Yingzi, and indigo-colored crystal chips float out of the blood.

The girl gently lifted the veil, and a crimson flame appeared in her amber-like eyes, and the moment she met Lin Yu's gaze, the flame pierced into his eyes.

Immediately, Lin Yu's body couldn't move. He opened his mouth wide and looked up at the girl, with a painful groan coming out of his throat. It was as if someone had used pliers to stir into his brain, wantonly flipping through his past.

"Young man, you should be glad you didn't make up a lie to deceive me."

As if he had found the answer from his memory, the girl put down her index finger and kicked Lin Yu away ten or twenty meters away with a random kick. The flying pointer almost brushed the tip of his nose and turned away.

The girl put back her veil, turned around and walked in front of the two unconscious bodies. Lin Yu painfully squeezed out the cough that was stuck in his throat, and dragged his body with his arms to stop him.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt their lives. Instead, I will let the three of you return to reality, and don't pursue what happened today."

"Do you think I still have to thank you for not killing me? Even if I go back, I will just go back to another cage!"

Facing Lin Yu's ungratefulness, the girl didn't feel displeased at all. Instead, she showed an interesting expression and looked sideways at Lin Yu who should have lost consciousness long ago.

"It's impossible for you to kill God." The girl casually pointed out Lin Yu's thoughts, her smiling tone sounded like sarcasm, "After all, you can't even get close to her."

The words that hit the heart directly made Lin Yu's pupils dilate suddenly, and the memory of the past thirty years of struggling began to bombard in turn in the form of flashbacks, gradually distorted and divided into unrecognizable color blocks.

Adjacent pixels are aggregated into one color, and different pictures are divided into three sides.

At first, it played the three groups of Lin Yu inviting me to join the domination war when I was young, Lin Yu sitting in the corner of the cell with a serious expression and lost in thought, and Lin Yu who left in the crowd on the battlefield between Baitu Yayi and Thief Dream King. scene.

As the boundaries of the three are always rotating in the same area like the hands of a clock, the screens are constantly switching one after another, passing Lin Yu and witnessing the gradually blurred figure of himself in the future. He said, "I will do my best in the next life. Deny the future you said," and skimming over the scene where Lin Yu and Charte were chasing each other in an unfamiliar town, he said, "No one can decide my future, not even my future self."

In the end countless pictures were pieced together. Lin Yu stared at the tea cat's trembling eyes, and suddenly smiled.

"Since you have lost the qualification to participate in the domination war, I will fulfill your selfishness and find the truth behind it instead of you."

A warm and soft light flashed across Tea Mao's eyes, and she tilted her cheeks with a smile.

"Hey, do you want to win?"

All the pixels gather together, as if different colors of paint blend with each other, turning into a piece of pure darkness. Only Lin Yu's voice resounded through the darkness.

"It will definitely win."
