After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Ye Chang glanced at Chi Nan calmly: "Don't worry, I'm an African."

Chi Nan said more calmly than him: "I never draw a lottery."

"Do people with high scores get the right to pardon?" Chi Nan asked the system again.

[Please roll the dice first, and the rules of getting pardon will be announced later]

The system answered without undue frustration. At that time, staff had already brought dice cups and trays.

Everyone: "..." Fairness is a joke, right? It sounds like it's doing insider stuff.

Ye Chang looked at Chi Nan: "Then I first?"

Chi Nan nodded.

So Ye Chang calmly shook the dice cup, and the monotonous sound from the shaking could tell that there was only one dice in the dice cup.

Several onlookers watched Ye Chang's movements for a moment, and they were so nervous that they held their breath unconsciously, especially the dark tea, with fine and dense sweat leaching from their foreheads.

In less than five seconds, Ye Chang stopped the movement in his hand, and the crisp sound of the dice's impact came to a halt.

"Did I drive?" He was asking for Chi Nan's opinion.

"Um."

Ye Chang opened the dice cup and smiled, "Six o'clock."

Hearing this number, Black Tea's eyes were almost black, and I was finished thinking about it.

According to the general rules, it must be a large number of forgiveness. Although he doesn't want Ye Chang to be in trouble, he would still be a little selfish if the other party is Chi Nan who treats him like a younger brother...

Then Chi Nan took the dice cup, shook it twice as he pleased, then stopped, and opened it: "One point."

Then the voice of the system sounded: [Determined by the dream maker, give death immunity to those with low points]

Everyone: "...?" This result is really unexpected, as if the system is watching people play chopsticks.

Ye Chang shrugged: "I said, I am African, congratulations to Brother Nan."

Chi Nan didn't feel happy or lucky. He was silent for a moment and said: "I think this system is not serious."

System: [...] It is controlled by the dreamer and has nothing to say.

Hei Cha suddenly said anxiously: "I have many good feelings, and I am not so eager to realize my wish. Can I transfer my good feelings to both of them? What will Ye Chang do with the 90% probability of death?"

The big wave sighed: "There is no favorable exchange in the nightmare world."

"What can I do with this..."

Unlike the black tea's helplessness, Ye Chang, the party concerned, was so calm that it was incomprehensible: "It's okay. Ninety percent is not 100%. Maybe I'm lucky enough."

Chi Nan glanced at him: "Didn't you say you are African?"

Ye Chang was taken aback, and then smiled: "Isn't there you, Brother Nan? I'll just rub you."

Chi Nan: "...Hmm."

Ye Chang: "I have a hunch that we will be together in the next copy of the nightmare."

"I'm not feeling lucky, but I have a good feeling." He added.

Chi Nan lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "I... will try my best."

He seems to have never tried to promise others or something.

After the calculation of the favorability degree, because no one had exchanged their wishes after this time, the group was quickly sent to the four major cities of Dream World to wait for the next copy.

Only Ye Chang was assigned to Zicheng along with Chi Nan and Black Tea.

Hei Cha has been relieved from the indignation and worry just now. He believes that as long as Chi Nan is there, the people around him can always be put to rest. At this moment, he also relaxes: "We are all in the sub-city, before the arrival of the new copy. During this time I can eat and drink together."

It was the train that looked tattered and swayed forward in the dark.

Black tea chattered about topics along the way, while Chi Nan lay peacefully in the sleeper.

And Ye Chang, like Chi Nan's first time on this train, lay down by the window and looked at the dark wilderness for a long time.

Lights were darkly lit in the train corridor, and Chi Nan's sleeping shadow was reflected on the windowpanes.

"The sky will never be bright in this horrible place, and people tend to be depressed after a long time." Hei Cha put his chin in his hands and muttered thoughtfully.

Ye Chang bends the corners of his lips: "I really like the night."

"Huh? You haven't stayed long enough, you won't feel that way after staying a while." Black Tea said naturally.

"Perhaps," Ye Chang pushed his glasses, "I get sleepy easily during the day."

"I used to think I was a night owl, but when I arrived in the nightmare world, I knew how much I missed the day." Hei Cha sighed.

Ye Chang smiled, did not speak, naturally took out the exercise book from his schoolbag...

Hei Cha looked at Ye Xueba in surprise and swallowed the babbling nonsense, but he was so bored, he shut his mouth for less than ten minutes, and then said: "Yes, I haven't asked you about living in the son." Which district of the city is it? If it's near, let's have a hot pot together after getting off the train."

Ye Chang took out his residence permit from his pocket and glanced at it: "No. 206, Building 57, North Third District."

Black Tea's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Fuck! What a coincidence! Our neighbor, I'm Building 57, 205... Oh wait? What building do you think?"

"Building 57, 206." Ye Chang repeated it again.

Black Tea scratched her hair incredibly: "No, 206 is Chi Nan's room... Is something wrong?"

Ye Chang showed his residence permit to Black Tea: "I don't know, that's how it was written."

Hei Cha saw the address on the residence permit and was even more confused: "But this is too strange..."

"Could it be that there are not enough rooms? So Nan Ge and I are squeezing an apartment?"

"Fart, the least people in Zicheng are people, and the most are empty apartments like unfinished buildings."

"Then... Maybe there is a bug in the system, it binds me and Nan Ge."

Ye Chang glanced at Chi Nan who was asleep, and said quietly, there was no doubt in his tone, the dark tea even tasted a hint of happiness from his eyes hidden behind the lens...

He still remembers that when he first met Ye Chang and introduced himself, he said he was bent...

After all his performances on the cruise ship at dusk, as well as his inadvertent happiness at this moment... Black Tea reasonably suspects that this high school student is a bit interesting to Chi Nan.

"Student Ye, let me gossip, what kind of guy do you like?" Black Tea asked.

Ye Chang didn't even think about it, but blurted out: "It's pretty."

Black Tea subconsciously glanced at Chi Nan, who was very good-looking, and asked, "What else?"

Ye Chang thought for a while now: "There is a mole with tears."

"Huh?" Hei Cha glanced at the two moles of tears under Chi Nan's eyes, and became more sure of her guess, "Then... what about the character? There is not only the standard of appearance, right."

Ye Changxiao: "Probably, it is similar to me."

After a pause, he added, "Actually, the appearance is the same, I am quite narcissistic."

Hearing these words in the mist in the dark tea cloud, a straight man is like him, naturally unable to empathize with gay, but...In his opinion, Ye Chang is a reliable and gentle child. If Chi Nan also likes this type, it would be true. Good thing.

After waking up, Chi Nan knew that Ye Chang was in the same room with him again, but his expression was faint.

"Mind?" When Ye Chang asked Chi Nan, the smile on his face was too lazy to hide, bright.

Although Chi Nan's face was numb, but his lips were inadvertently pursed: "I don't mind very much."

Ye Chang's small movements were caught by Ye Chang: "That's a bit of a mind."

Ye Chang teased him.

Chi Nan raised his eyelids and glanced at him faintly: "Well, you know, I shed tears easily for fear of embarrassment for outsiders."

In the face of such a person who doesn't seem to care about his face, he doesn't mind speaking out.

"If it's because of this, don't mind," Ye Chang looked at him fixedly, "I'm used to it."

The corner of Chi Nan's lips twitched: "...Okay."

In fact, he himself was used to crying, in front of Ye Chang.

Whoever makes this guy have something to do, just touch him physically... Knowing that he would cry because of it...

Frequently as if deliberately...

"Then I'm welcome." Chi Nan added.

The smile on Ye Chang's face expanded: "Please feel free."

The straight man on the side couldn't stand the black tea anymore, so he shivered and sat on the other side in silence...

During the time the two continued to be roommates in Zicheng, Chi Nan was also much more comfortable than before.

He likes to eat sweets, but because sweets can cause the tear ducts to collapse, he used to hide in the room alone to eat.

Now Dream World has bound his roommate to him, Chi Nan, who has no separate space, began to hold the ice cream in front of Ye Chang unscrupulously, sending a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth while streaming tears.

Ye Chang handed Chi Nan the freshly shaved matcha red bean ice: "Is this the sugar allergy you mentioned?"

"I'm afraid you will mind." Chi Nan held the matcha ice unceremoniously and topped it with thick condensed milk.

"Why?" Ye Chang looked away and went back to the exercise book, "I like the way you cry."

His last sentence was very light and light, and before Chi Nan heard it clearly, it was drowned out by the rustle of turning over the exercise book.

Time flies quickly. They stayed in the apartment in Zicheng for a week before the invitation letter for the next copy was delivered.

At this moment, the three of them were happily eating the butter hot pot at 206, when the door suddenly rang.

Everyone's action of picking up food was paused.

"Who?" Black Tea raised the volume in order to conceal his panic.

"Sir, there is your courier." The person outside said.

"Okay, wait a minute." Ye Chang put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and opened the door.

There was no one outside the door, only two letters were inserted on the doorknob. He looked around, took off the envelope and closed the door.

"Are you here?" Hei Cha saw that he walked into the house with the envelope, his face sank suddenly, and he was not in the mood to cook beef.

Ye Chang calmly opened the envelope, frowning, "It's two volunteer application forms."

With that, he handed the volunteer application form to Chi Nan.

"Candleman's Day Volunteer Application Form?"

Chi Nan read the form quickly. It had already filled in the names for him and Ye Chang, and posted a one-inch photo. All they needed to fill in were personal information such as past medical history and medications.

Chi Nan noticed that there is a key option in his personal situation: Is it photophobia?

Does this copy have a lot to do with Hikari?

"It seems that our identity this time is a volunteer for Candleman's Day." Ye Chang took out a pen from his schoolbag and quickly filled out the rest of the volunteer application form.

He also handed the pen to Chi Nan in a tacit understanding.

Black tea is no longer in the mood to eat: "I'll go to 205 to see if there is any express delivery for me."

In less than five minutes, the black tea turned back, and his face became even more frustrated: "It's over, there's no mine."

Chi Nan nodded: "It seems that the three of us are not a nightmare this time."

"Why..." The black tea sat back to its original taste in frustration, looking at the steaming red oil and tumbling beef, picked up the chopsticks and put it down.

Chi Nan picked up the beef slices that were just cooked: "Hurry up and eat it, it will be old later."

Black tea nodded, took two bites of the meat in the bowl and put it down: "I have no appetite."

Chi Nan didn't speak, but Ye Changwen said, "Don't worry, if Brother Nan is here, I will be fine. When we come back, we will continue to cook the hot pot."

Black Tea pouted: "Bah, baah, don't say such things that sound like flags..."

Ye Chang: "Okay, bah bah bah."

The black tea stopped anxiously, and Chi Nan poured fresh beef into the pot again: "Come back and change the bottom of the pot."

"I want to try cheese." He said.

They filled out the volunteer application form that day and pressed it on the table. The form disappeared early the next morning. Instead, they were replaced by two old-fashioned bus tickets with the words "Voucher for taking advantage of the Zicheng public transport gas tram" and the price. The column was crossed out, and a destination-Candleman Town was scribbled.

It really looks decent.

Ye Chang Tucao: "It's been less than half a month since I came to the world of nightmare, and I have taken the ship, train, and bus. I really want to take the plane here if I have a chance."

Chi Nan put the motion sickness medicine that he had not eaten before into the bag. Ye Chang looked in his eyes, his lips bend: "Thank you."

He knew that Chi Nan must have remembered that when he met for the first time, he said that he was motion sickness and asked for motion sickness medicine.

Facts proved that Chi Nan was right. He had never taken such a long bus before and stopped at no other stop. He remembered that he woke up several times while he was full and the car was still driving in a dark wilderness.

In the confusion, Chi Nan had an illusion, as if the car could keep driving until it reached the border of the nightmare world.

Chi Nan remembered that he slept by the window at the beginning, but he bumped down several times, unconsciously resting his head on Ye Chang's shoulder, and this kid was unwilling to move, so he obediently let him sleep on it, even deliberately Sit up straight to make him feel more comfortable...

"I'm sorry." Chi Nan woke up and hurriedly moved his head away.

Ye Chang still looked gentle and well-behaved: "It's okay, you can continue."

"No, I'm full of sleep," Chi Nan rarely slept so well, "hasn't it arrived yet?"

He looked out of the dark window, as if a sandstorm had blown up, and a lot of fine dust was stuck on the window glass.

"Probably soon."

As soon as his voice fell, there was a noise in the car—

"Look! Is there light over there?!"

"Yes, yes! It seems to be inhabited."

"Should it be our mission location? Thank goodness, it's finally here."

Chi Nan followed the sight of everyone in the car and saw that at the end of the horizon where black and black met, countless bright spots of light flickered and swayed.

People are phototaxis, and they have been in the darkness where they can't see their fingers for a long time. The adrenaline will increase as soon as they see the light.

There were a few cheers from the car, and this long and arduous road trip finally came to an end.

Although what awaits them ahead may be a nightmare full of horror and death.

As the bus got closer and closer, a brightly lit town appeared in the desolate wilderness. Everyone in the bus was a little uncomfortable covering their eyes with their hands. Ye Chang also carried the schoolbag he was holding on his back. Get ready to get off the bus.

"Welcome all volunteers to the famous tourist resort of Candleman Town. The annual grand celebration-Candleman's Day, will be held in five days. During this time, volunteers are invited to cooperate with the female workers of the candle factory to complete the final of Candleman's Day. Preparations."

The bus driver introduced to a car of dream tourists who had obtained the status of volunteers: “Candleman’s Day is a world-famous grand carnival, symbolizing light, freedom and hope. I believe this volunteer journey will leave you with an unforgettable and beautiful experience. recall."

The car drove through the brightly lit streets and alleys towards the square in the center of the town.

Along the way, Chi Nan put his face on the windowpane and looked at the town from the car for an instant.

From a distance, I can see that the town of Zhuren is brightly lit, like a city of light rising from the dark.

But once you are in it, you can feel the weirdness everywhere in the town.

There are no street lights here. Instead, candlesticks stick out from the attic on both sides of the street. The candlesticks are filled with colorful candles, crackling to illuminate the night at three in the morning.

It's already three o'clock in the morning, but in every residential house in Zhuren Town, the candles are not extinguished.

Ye Chang also noticed something wrong in the town, and said thoughtfully: "It's no wonder that the volunteer application form specifically confirmed whether it is photophobic."

Chi Nan turned his head and asked the driver: "The candles are always on, don't the residents of the town sleep at night?"

The driver’s tone was full of pride: “Of course you need to sleep, but the darkness can make people have nightmares, so we have a tradition in Candleman Town. Even in the deepest night, the candles are always on until dawn.”
