After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Chi Nan didn't nod or shook his head, but said faintly, "I'm used to it."

You Yu smiled: "Thank you for staying."

He walked into the bedroom familiarly and laid a mattress on the floor: "Unfortunately, my bed was recycled before. Now I want to sleep on the floor."

As he opened the closet, he tweeted, "They do things quite neatly, and they don’t even have a change of clothes left for me."

Chi Nan opened his closet and handed the washed pajamas to You Yu: "Put on mine."

After a pause, he slightly raised his head to look at You Yu, "...maybe a bit short, don't mind."

You Yu curled his lips: "Thank you."

"By the way," Chi Nan suddenly thought of something, "this height...is your true height?"

You Yu thought for a while: "No."

Chi Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and You Yu continued: "My real height is three centimeters higher than the "doctor". "

Chi Nan: "..." He doesn't want to talk anymore.

You Yu: "If you don't believe me next time, you'll know by comparing it carefully."

Chi Nan: "Why?"

Obviously they are all "You Yu" bodies, why is the original owner half a head taller than him?

You Yu understood what he meant, and thought about it for a while and said: "Probably you are more picky eaters and not taller."

He thought of Chi Nan carefully avoiding the vegetables in the pot when he was eating hot pot, so he wanted to laugh secretly.

Chi Nan: "...you go take a bath."

You Yu obediently took Chi Nan's pajamas and walked to the bathroom. He knew that this little evil spirit was going to open a small stove to eat sweets while he was taking a bath and cry.

Sure enough, You Yu washed it out, and Chi Nan had eaten the desserts he brought back. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the bath utensils and walked into the bathroom.

You Yu was lying on the mattress in Chi Nan's pajamas, and there was a splash of water from the bathroom, and the air smelled of warm, vapor-filled shower gel. He closed his eyes and was unexpectedly calm.

The accidental fall of the horse on February 29 was completely different from the scene he had imagined countless times, and the relationship between the two after the fall was very different from his preset.

He thought that he and Chi Nan would be heading for a more dramatic and tense confrontation, but the reality was completely opposite. After losing their horses, instead of being tense, they had the illusion of...a more peaceful relationship.

The little evil spirit that occupied his body faced the original owner without showing any emotions such as tension, fear, anger, or disgust at all.

He just faintly handed out the cake, faintly wished him a happy birthday, turned his head and faintly promised the wish of "return to the original owner."

Chi Nan's eyes did not have any struggle or desire for control, let alone fear. He was not afraid of losing the body he was forced to possess.

You Yu seemed to have more reason to hold onto "his body," and watched Chi Nan's every move with integrity.

Thinking of this, the corners of You Yu's lips raised ignorantly. He didn't know when he and Chi Nan developed a tacit understanding, as if they should get along like this...

Chi Nan, who came out of the bathroom, used a dry towel to brush his hair, and You Yu turned over and looked at him with interest: "Do you need me to dry it for you?"

Chi Nan's hand paused: "No, thank you."

"I can take care of this body by myself." Chi Nan said, digging out the hair dryer and blowing his hair obediently.

You Yu smiled: "I can see it."

After drying his hair, Chi Nan turned off the light in the house, and You Yu tacitly lit the bedroom night light to illuminate him.

"Why don't I let my exchange item return to the original owner's wish?" Chi Nan turned to ask You Yu after lying in bed.

You Yu looked at him from the bottom up: "If I want to get back to my body, I will do it myself."

Chi Nan: "...oh."

"And this body can be used by you, it is more valuable than being buried in the soil or sent for cremation, isn't it?"

"That's true."

"But... it's not me who refuses your wish. I don't have such high authority." You Yu said helplessly.

Chi Nan twisted his brows imperceptibly, and You Yu continued, "How did you lose your memory?"

Chi Nan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "After waking up from your body, I don't remember it anymore."

He didn't plan to tell You Yu about "The Crying Boy". From fragments of his memory, he saw that Xiao Youyu once regarded him as his only friend.

After his death, he was taken over by his only friend, and Chi Nan thought it was not a pleasant thing.

The lights of Xiaoye were ambiguous, and Chi Nan's green eyes flickered.

You Yu caught his emotional fluctuations, but did not reveal them, and continued: "The person who interferes with your wishes may be the dream maker of this world."

"Have you seen him?"

"No, as far as I know, no dream maker has ever seen him."

"That's it..." Chi Nan's voice became lower and lower, "I thought the dream world was omnipotent. I didn't expect that the wish would be rejected. It was a bit unexpected."

You Yu twisted his brows and said, "This has only happened twice, and you accounted for one of them, which is unfortunate."

Chi Nan: "Whose wish is another time?"

You Yu smiled, but didn't plan to answer his question.

When You Yu first became a dreamer, he tried to change his wish to "find the evil spirit painting that was placed in the bedroom back then", but the main system rejected his request on the grounds that the dream world could not represent his'illusion'. It is even more impossible to find something that never existed.

At that time, You Yu doubted, is it that the evil spirit brother in the painting who used to talk and play with him in his dream and spend his gloomy time with him was just an illusion created by escaping loneliness in his childhood?

It took You Yu for many years to find no clues about the painting, but he couldn't see it back then, nor could he describe or replicate the appearance of the painting.

Even... Later, even he himself was not sure whether there was a painting in the bedroom. The only evil brother in the painting that made him happy in his childhood may be subconsciously invented...

When the trace of existence of something completely disappears, it is no different from an illusion.

"You have to be prepared, maybe... your disappearing memory is related to the whole dream world, so it is so expensive." You Yu answered the question.

Chi Nan nodded: "Thank you for telling me this."

"By the way, let me tell you another very important thing."

The bedroom is not big, the two can reach each other as long as they straighten their hands, because Chi Nan retracted his whole body into the quilt. You Yu hesitated for a moment, let go of his tears and touched the tip of his nose, "Your tears It is a very special and valuable thing. If you encounter difficult evil spirits in the nightmare book next time, you can deal with them with your tears."

Under his touch, Chi Nan shed tears easily. His faint green eyes were wet, like beautiful rocks sinking at the bottom of the river, and Yu Yu raised his lips contentedly, "In the special room of the cruise ship at dusk, I That's how it is done."

Chi Nanmu sniffed his face, and You Yu continued to explain: "Crying you, the evil spirits will retreat when they see your tears."

Chi Nan was dubious: "...Thank you for letting me know."

The two talked for a while, Chi Nan's voice became lower and lower, and his speech rate became too sleepy. Finally, he yawned and said, "You Yu, next time you meet, you will use your own way." , I know it anyway."

You Yu was taken aback, and then smiled: "Okay, let's see each other like this in the nightmare, good night."

"Good night."

Zicheng does not alternate between day and night, and Chi Nan doesn’t know how long he slept. When he woke up, only himself was left in the apartment. The mattresses on the floor in the bedroom were also cleaned up, as if You Yu had never been here. .

Chi Nan sat up from the quilt, only to find that he had an extra pocket watch beside his pillow.

He stunned for a moment, carefully picked up the pocket watch, under the familiar cover is the hour and minute hands that always stop at 12:20.

This is the birthmark of You Yu...

But what does this guy mean by putting his pocket watch next to his pillow?

Chi Nan held his cold pocket watch in a daze for a moment, when the doorbell suddenly rang again. He thought that it was You Yu who turned around and took the dropped watch, so he jumped out of the quilt and hurried to open the door.

"Your watch falls..."

The person standing outside the door was black tea. He was completely awake from the wine at the moment. He scratched his head very embarrassedly and said to Chi Nan, "Sorry... I drank too much last night... Didn't you scare you when you went crazy? "

Chi Nan put You Yu's watch into his pocket: "No, you just kept crying by yourself and didn't do scary things."

Black Tea: "..." This young master is really not soothing.

Black Tea probed into the room and looked left and right, confirming that the hateful dream maker was not in the room, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "I messed up your room last night, you are not good at tidying up, I will..."

"It's already packed." Chi Nan opened the door to let him in, only then did Black Tea discover that the house was completely new.

He blurted out: "Did the dreamer clean it up?"

Chi Nan: "Probably, I'm asleep."

Dark Tea gave him a secretive look: "That guy really stayed here last night?"

Chi Nan nodded truthfully: "What's the matter?"

The corners of Heicha’s lips twitched, but he swallowed it back without saying anything. He snorted for a moment and said, "If that guy bullies you in the future, you must try to tell me, such as dreams...I can teach others. NS."

Chi Nan felt that the black tea friend was righteous and sincere, so he nodded obediently, "Okay, thank you."

After talking about the black tea, he shrugged his head and kept scratching his neck: "Also what I said last night while drunk...I was about to realize my wish and go out...not drunk...maybe it was the matter of the past two days...I asked the system. …It said that the wish can only stay for a week at most after the exchange, so...now there are only two days left."

As he talked, Black Tea's eyes turned red again.

His wish is to be able to support himself as an anchor, so that he can say goodbye to the workplace and leave his status as a social animal forever.

The wish is not too big, and it can be exchanged with a few hundred favorability points. After he goes out, he can live a life on interest. It should be a happy thing, but the most unbearable thing in his life is parting. Once he thinks about it, he will probably never see you again. By the time Chi Nan arrived, he couldn't help crying sadly.

Chi Nan was really happy for him: "Then let's celebrate these two days."

Black Tea curled her mouth to hold back her tears, smiled ugly, and said: "Okay, my barbecue skills are good, this time you and Tang Yu can eat enough..."

After a pause, he scratched his head apologetically and said, "I promise not to drink too much this time."

Therefore, in the next two days, the northern three districts of the uninhabited sub-city were full of life smoke, and the three people almost forgot that they had just come out of the nightmare of a nine-dead life and lived a vacation-like fairy life.

The cooking skills of black tea are getting more and more amazing. Tang Yu silently plans to make a wish that he will not get fat no matter how he eats it, while suggesting that after black tea goes out, he can develop in the direction of food bloggers. After all, the food area is easier to receive ads to earn money Party money.

Black tea sitting on the fence on the rooftop, drinking ice soda, red eyes again thinking about the beautiful days of returning to reality.

"Last time there was an old dream tourist. He told us that after going out from the nightmare world, the memory of this place will be erased." The black tea voice has no ups and downs, as if talking about everyday things, but he squeezed The hand of the soda can was unconsciously straining, "If what he said is true, I may not remember you. What can I do?"

It is like dreaming. It is difficult for us to know when the dream started and where the dream broke. Many times we wake up and vaguely remember that we had a dream, but we can't even remember what we dreamed about.

Tang Yu didn't speak, Chi Nan fiddled with the charcoal fire under the grill: "I will definitely remember, I will find you when the time comes, and then I will tell you."

Black Tea smiled: "You still have a five-digit favorability rating. When can you go out?"

Chi Nan seriously said, "It should be possible within ten years."

The single dog Black Tea muttered: "...really, my kids have grown up at that time."

The three of them fell silent suddenly, only the charcoal fire made a slight crackle occasionally.

Hei Cha suddenly asked: "Chi Nan, do you actually...do not want to go out?"

Chi Nan's expression froze for a moment, then nodded for a moment: "Yeah."

Hei Cha grinned and touched his nose in a bewildered manner: "I always have a feeling that you are different from us, as if...you belong here..."

"It's not... I don't know how to describe..." Hei Cha slapped her hair a little irritably, "Forget it, you guys are looking for someone who has a registered permanent residence in the nightmare world. I dare to expect you to go out."

Chi Nan: "Target? Hukou?"

Dark tea: "Huh."

As soon as he finished humming, the tears came down. He drank the soda in his hand and threw it in the trash can.

He didn't fall asleep this night. He turned out a box of white paper that he had brought back from the convenience store and wrote quickly. He didn't stop writing until the hour hand pointed to six o'clock.

There is no sunrise or sunset in Zicheng, and it will always sink in the deepest part of the night, but Black Tea knows that the next day has come, and it is time for him to leave.

Black Tea gently opened the door of 205 and said silently to 206 and 207: "Goodbye, there will be a period later."

Without any luggage, he waved his hand and turned to leave this absurd city.

When Chi Nan woke up, there was a huge cardboard box outside his door. After unpacking, it was full of handwritten talisman seals. Some of the ink hadn't dried out yet, and his fingertips were stained red when he flipped through it.

He touched the seals left by the black tea one by one, carefully putting them all into the house.

People who left the nightmare world never left a trace. The black tea dormitory was cleaned up, and the door was locked in the morning.

Chi Nan knocked on the door of 205 lightly, and said to the dormitory that had already gone to the building, "Thank you."

On the same day, Chi Nan received a photo sent anonymously. In the photo, it was a highway spreading endlessly in the wilderness.

There is a car driving on the highway with the license plate number "EM00404".

He knew that this was the invitation for the next nightmare.
