Rebirth of Tokyo, open the wrong plug-in

Chapter 546 Dream Boy

A hand-drawn portrait of a man was placed in front of Kiryu Roshi.

He is bald, has a thin face, a strange expression, and an air of horror in his eyes.

"Are you sure you all dreamed about this person?" Kiryu asked, pointing his index finger at the photo.

"Yes! But he didn't harm me in the dream." A member of the club immediately nodded in affirmation: "He taught me a lot of things in the dream, but because it was a dream, I forgot everything after I woke up.

The only thing I can remember is... that he was pretty good."

"But I was chased by him in my dream!" Someone else immediately retorted.

Everyone dreams about this person to varying degrees, and apart from the fact that they look exactly the same, there is no difference.

And everyone’s dreams are diverse.

"No, it's not that there is no connection at all."

Kiryu's first finger tapped lightly on the table.

Judging from the information that has been obtained, in addition to having a completely fixed face, the man in this dream has different personalities. He may be a relative or an enemy.

Everyone's dreaming time is also long or short. Some people's dreams only last for a few minutes, while others dream for several months. It's like a dream that doesn't appear for a year, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes, because it never appears.

According to their feedback, the passage of time in dreams feels exactly the same as in the real world. Some people who have spent three months in dreams even feel as if they have been separated from another world after waking up.

"Common connections and strange stories!"

The main content of everyone's dreams may be creepy or terrifying, but they are all related to strange stories.

"He probably doesn't want to hurt anyone." Kiryu Yiyi made a judgment, and then he comforted the others and said: "This person, of course, does not rule out that he has no ability to harm anyone now, so he chose not to do anything. It is already dark outside.

Okay, let’s end the club activities here.”

No one raised any objections. After experiencing the horrific collective dream incident, they just wanted to leave the club as soon as possible, go home and hide in bed and shiver wantonly for a while.

"Senior" Nanami picked up her bag and looked at Kiryu Yishi who had not left yet: "Is it really okay?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely be fine." Kiryu Yiyi said calmly and calmly, "I have already guessed who this guy is."

"Then, be careful..."

Nanami, who knew Kiryu's first-class skills, did not force him to stay, but turned around and left obediently.

Kiryu Yiyi closed his eyes.

After about ten minutes, he opened his eyes.

It was still an empty classroom, and the lights began to flicker restlessly. There was something dirty that was affecting the operation of the circuit.

"It's so late and you're still not leaving?"

A man with a bald head and a strange face, but who gave Kiryu a strangely familiar feeling appeared.

Although he couldn't remember the other party's name, Kiryu Yiyi nodded and said, "You're leaving right away. Do you want to go home together?"

It seemed like he was very used to making this invitation.

The other party also nodded in a familiar manner: "I'm just on my way."

The two of them left the school together and walked home side by side on the road illuminated by street lights.

However, when passing a phone booth, Kiryu suddenly stopped.

"Have you ever heard of that urban legend?" he asked.

The bald man turned his head and looked at Kiryu Yiyi with an expressionless face. His big, weird and horrifying eyes seemed to want to see through Kiryu Yiyi's heart and soul.

"What weird story?" the other party asked.

"There is a man who often appears in other people's dreams. After communicating with each other, many people find that they have dreamed about the other person."

The bald man replied: "Maybe they received some kind of hint in real life, so the brain automatically formed that image in the dream."

"It's not really a weird story if you just dream about people who look the same," Kiryu continued: "However, according to legend, in many countries on the other side of the ocean, people who don't speak the same language, or even people who have never met each other in their lives, will also dream about it in their dreams.

The image of that man.”

"Really? It's really scary." The bald man nodded, but his expression remained unchanged when he spoke.

Kiryu Yishi continued: "Abroad, he is called ThieMan, but in this country, he is generally called Yumeo."

"I've never heard of this strange story." The bald man shook his head.

"Yeah?"

Kiryu Yiichi raised his hand and slapped the opponent's head open.

However, after the opponent's head exploded, his body spread out like chocolate beans and rolled all over the floor.

The street lights were dim, and figures appeared around Kiryu Yishi, surrounding him. They all had the same "dream boy" image. Looking up, the bald head reflecting the streetlight light had completely occupied Kiryu Yishi's field of vision.

With a uniform appearance, their horrifying eyes were all staring at Kiryu Ichijo.

Watched by millions of people.

Overhead, on buildings, on street lights.

He lowered his head and his head even popped out from under the road.

There is no visual blind spot, Kiryu Yishi is stared at by countless "dream boys", completely placed in the center of the strange circle.

"Sure enough, I'm just dreaming," Kiryu said with certainty.

"How are you determined?" The dream boys all spoke together, but judging from their tone of voice alone, it was impossible to tell whether their emotions had changed.

Kiryu Yiyi grinned, raised his hand and slapped himself on the head. At the same time, he thought to himself: "Do I have to tell you that I found out that the plug-in is gone?"

Open your eyes.

The lights in the club were on, and he was still sitting in the chair, maintaining the position in which he fell asleep before.

"It's easy to deal with if I know what you are, but...Kaitan has disappeared. Could it be that even Kaitan can force them into dreams?"

Kiryu Yiichi chose to remove the skin from the slit girl.

"Ah!! Help!!"

"Meow! Meow!"

"Hair wax! Hair wax! Hair wax!! Ahhhh!!"

Screams came from a distance, as well as the scream of a cat's fur exploding.

Kiryu Yiyi simply chose to go out through the window, and saw Sumimi Touko and other missing people running away towards him in embarrassment. Behind him, the crazed girl was waving scissors and kept asking: "I'm beautiful

Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful?”

Touko Sumimi screamed "pomade" at a high decibel level. There was no smell of pomade that the slit girl hated. Just shouting the name of the pomade was useless.

After seeing Kiryu Yishi, they seemed to have seen a savior.

But someone still accidentally said "Ouch" and fell to the ground. It was the girl from the Kyudo Club.

"I'm done!" The girl's face changed drastically.

However, the pain and fear she imagined did not come. The girl turned her head in confusion, but there was no figure of the slit girl behind her.

"Pomade?" She tried shouting, but there was really no problem!

"call!"

In fact, it was Kiryu Yishou who put a skin on the gaping girl again, making her invisible.

Kiryu Yiyi stepped forward and asked, "Where were you just now?"

I also have certain information in my heart. Although Yumenan can fall into dreams, he cannot force people to immerse themselves in dreams and not wake up. Compared with the ghost story "Freddy" in the movie far away across the ocean, it is still a lot worse.

"I suddenly felt very sleepy. I closed my eyes for a moment, and then I felt as if I had had a long dream." Touko Sumimi said, "I remember the content of the dream very clearly, but I suddenly felt very dangerous just now, so I woke up.

, and then I saw the out-of-control Rift Girl."

"That's right, nya!" Nekomaru nodded in agreement.

"Ah!! Cat! Cat! The cat has spoken!" The archery club girl who had just climbed up had her eyes widened. She probably made more expressions this afternoon than she did in the previous year.

The culprit of everything can be determined, but how to deal with the dream boy is a big problem. If the other person has been hiding in the dream, or if the other person only exists because of the dream, there is no way to deal with it and you can only get used to the other person's existence.

The only person who can solve the Yumeno incident now is the recognized "expert", Kiryu.

"I'll go back and do an experiment."

After dismissing everyone, Kiryu Yiyi left with Kaitan.

After moving temporarily, the apartment they rented was also very spacious.

Hanako entered the bathroom with ease, while the slit girl walked around the kitchen with scissors in hand.

"Slit-Kou Nu-san!" Black Feather saw the Slit-Kou Nu-san and happily flapped her wings and flew over: "Slit-Kuuch Nu-san! You're back? It's really great!"

The cracked girl tilted her head and looked at the Crow Tengu maid Kuroha.

It is a slit girl and a fantasy monster, one of the most widely circulated urban ghost stories in the world, but it is not the original slit girl and has no memory of living here at all.

The reason why the image is embodied is because people's fantasy about it forces its image to be created.

"Slit Girl-san?" Kuroyu didn't know the relationship between this. She flew in front of the Slit Girl: "Slit Girl-san, your mask doesn't match. You didn't use the heart-shaped mask I made before. Wait.

Wait, I'll get you a new mask."

The cracked girl watched blankly as the little one flapped its wings and flew away from her. The other person was not afraid of her face, but instead brought a mask with cute patterns.

"Pah~" Kuroyu clapped his hands with satisfaction and looked at the slit girl: "Hmm~ This is much cuter!"

The cracked girl asked stiffly: "Am I... beautiful?"

Black Feather nodded, and in the posture of a maid, she energetically gestured to her breasts and shouted: "It's so beautiful!"

What happened behind him did not affect Kiryu Yishi at all. He dialed Kirizaki Suimei's phone number, intending to find some reliable and useful information from the folklore expert.

But as soon as he said a few words, Kirizaki Suimei asked: "Yumeo?"

"Mr. Kirizaki, you also..."

"Well, Mamiya and I also dreamed about Yumeo."

"It's really all-pervasive," Kiryu said helplessly.

"This is a foreign legend. I just investigated specifically and found out that a female Internet celebrity deliberately compiled Yumeboy in order to popularize the topic, so that Yumeboy, who was slowly forgotten by everyone, reappeared in Japan."

"Are you saying that Yumeno is just a fantasy monster and an urban ghost story?"

If the dream boy is a fantasy monster, it will be the worst situation. Although there is no danger, it is not a good thing to always dream about a scary person and live in the dream for a long time.

"I have just investigated and found that Yumeo's situation is not limited to us. There are patients in Shibuya Hospital who have encountered the same situation and are being treated there. I recommend you go there and take a look. Maybe you can figure out the whole story.

"

"Shall I go?" Kiryu Ichizu was a little surprised. Usually, Kirizaki Suimei and Mamiya Yuka are the most active in such bizarre incidents.

"It is said that it is a contagious dream. If ordinary people approach it at will, they are likely to be infected."

"...infection? I understand."

One night, Kiryu Yiichi had another dream. In the dream, Yumeno seemed to be an old acquaintance, trying to teach him something. However, since he blew Yumeno's head in the last dream, Kiryu Yiyi realized that he was very awake.

Lucid dreams are the most painful, and what's even more painful is that this dream lasted for a month. It seemed like he had really spent a month, and there was always a scary, weird and unkillable bald man following him.

It's a nightmare!

Early the next morning, Kiryu Ichiro got up and went to the hospital mentioned by Kirizaki Suimei. Before entering the hospital, he felt a strong aura.

It doesn't look like a demon, but it has a strong deterrent effect. Even Kiryu Yishi is not sure whether the thing that releases this aura is a living thing or something else.

With Kirisaki Suimei saying hello in advance, Kiryu Ichizu was treated as a folklore college student who came to investigate and write a report.

The attending doctor led the way: "...he came to our hospital a month ago. At that time, he said that he would have dreams, and the dreams were very real, so real that he couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams."

"What exactly will he dream about?" Kiryu asked.

"Dream whatever you want"

The doctor said: "Sometimes he would dream that he was being chased by someone, and after waking up, he would start running away... Sometimes he would dream that he had become a murderer, and he would take the nurse as a hostage, and even sometimes he would dream that he was a murderer.

Once he thought the patient in the next ward was his girlfriend who shared weal and woe."

"It's really pitiful" Kiryu's first difficult comment.

It is impossible to distinguish between reality and dreams. If the "Dream Boy Incident" becomes more and more serious, all those who are "infected" will most likely end up with the same fate.

If it were a sweet dream, the acceptance level would be higher, but so far, all the people affected by the "Dream Boy Incident" have had urban ghost stories appear in their dreams, which also indicates that as time goes by, they are destined to fall into endless horrific nightmares.

.

"That's right." The doctor nodded: "He spends more and more time in his dreams. Recently, more than ten years have passed during his sleep during the night. Maybe for him, the real world is just a dream."

Kiryu, who has experienced long lucid dreams, cannot imagine how torturous dreaming for four to five years, or even longer, is.

While they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the ward.

The doctor took out a gas mask from the disinfection cabinet in front of the ward. He relied on a small oxygen tank to breathe, completely isolating himself from the outside world and avoiding contact.

"This is?"

"Infection!" the doctor said: "His body will secrete something that makes people dream. Some medical staff have been infected and have also fallen into strange dreams. The difference is that their condition is not serious, and the time in the dream is the longest.

It only takes a year.”

"That's long enough!" Kiryu Yiyi immediately put on the gas mask.

The two pushed the door open and entered a ward that looked like a dust-free workshop in a factory.

A patient with a haggard face, sunken eye sockets, a head as big as a bucket, and slender limbs lay motionless on the hospital bed.

If it weren't for the electrocardiogram detection equipment on the side, Kiryu Yiyi might have guessed that the other party was dead.

"ah!!"

Unexpectedly, before the two of them got close, the patient jumped up and roared. It was hard to imagine why the ET-like body was so flexible. He grabbed the pillow behind him and threw it at Kiryu and the other two: "You want to kill me? Hahahaha."

, stop dreaming, hahahaha!”

"You're awake, you're already awake!" The doctor quickly stepped forward, raising his hands slightly to comfort the patient.

"Are you awake, really?" the patient asked in disbelief.

"I'm awake, really!" The doctor nodded affirmatively.

Unexpectedly, the patient covered his face and cried: "I...wuwuwu..."

Kiryu Yiyi asked: "How long have you been in the dream this time?"

The patient raised his right hand, made a fist, and then raised his chicken claw-like index finger and thumb.

"8 years?"

"80 years"

"Eighty years?!" Kiryu Yiyi's heart twitched, a number that can make people despair.

An ordinary person's dream lasts only 80 years, but he only needs one night to dream, and it is a nightmare that lasts for 80 years.

"Yeah, I can't tell clearly which side is a dream and which side is reality." The patient's condition seemed to be very bad. He turned around and looked at Kiryu Yishi: "I dreamed about you. Before this, we probably didn't."

Have you met?"

"I haven't seen it before." Kiryu nodded.

"It's really a strange dream." The patient struggled to smile: "In the dream, we seemed to be good brothers who talked about everything, but you betrayed me in the end."

"Then I apologize to you on behalf of myself in the dream." Kiryu walked toward the patient. He could see that the patient was in a very bad state. Although it was just a dream, it had already tortured the patient into a human form.

He decided to go straight to the point: "People near me have started to have frequent dreams recently, so I wanted to come to you to ask a few questions."

Thank you "Hellingknigh" for the 100 starting coin reward.
