After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle - Chapter 104

“Chi Nan? Where are you going?”

Jiang Yu saw that Chi Nan suddenly walked towards the end of the corridor silently, and asked inexplicably.

Chi Nan made a’hush’ gesture towards her, stopped by the glass door at the end of the corridor, and tried to twist the doorknob locked by the Dreamer.

Just hearing a ‘pump’, the door unlocked unexpectedly and easily.

“Chi Nan?” Jiang Yu lowered his voice, suddenly worried.

Chi Nan seemed a little absent-minded: “I’ll go out and check.”

He opened the door, the cold wind poured in, and the fine snow fell on his face.

Illuminated by the snow, the dawn base seemed to brighten up suddenly.

Chi Nan walked out of the building braved the wind and snow, and stepped on the fine snow, with a faint sound of snow flakes being crushed under his feet.

The voice calling his name became clearer and clearer, but it still gave people a remote feeling.

He walked forward following the sound, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the whiteness covered his vision.

Chi Nan turned his head and found that the towering base building had disappeared from behind, leaving only the boundless snow and unseen wilderness.

Chi Nan’s footsteps stopped, and he had already lost his direction.

Now I can only follow the direction of the voice calling him.

After walking for about five or six minutes, Chi Nan’s limbs stiffened from the cold, and finally saw many people standing on the horizon, holding torches, waiting for him quietly like statues in the snowstorm.

Chi Nan, Chi Nan…The sound seemed to be made by many people at the same time, the distant calls were overlapping, and the densely lingering in the ears seemed to be a constant whispering curse.

He wanted to find out, but didn’t stop because of this, and speeded up his steps toward the torches of the crowd, until the voice of You Yu sounded behind him——

“Brother Nan, don’t go forward.”

At the same time, You Yu’s hand grasped Chi Nan’s wrist through the sleeve, with some force.

Chi Nan was stunned for a moment, and when he returned to his senses, he found that the curse-like sound had stopped, and there was a cliff two steps away from him.

The cliff is bottomless, and the cold wind with snow flakes surging from the bottom of the cliff, like an ice knife on Chi Nan’s face.

“This is the ruined cliff for processing the energy waste of the dawn base. No one knows how deep it is, and no one knows where it can lead.” After You Yu explained, he looked at Chi Nan deeply, “If I fall down, I You may not be found.”

Chi Nan turned his head and found that the base building that had disappeared in the heavy snow had reappeared. The huge outline of the dazzling lights was so eye-catching that no amount of snow could swallow it.

“Go back to the house, it’s too cold outside.” You Yu pulled him back.

Chi Nan looked back again. There was no crowd with torches on the opposite side of the ruined cliff, only the outlines of countless tall buildings sank in the night.

What happened just now?

You Yu turned his head to look at Chi Nan from time to time. Until he confirmed that his eyes were gradually focusing, he asked casually like a small chat: “What happened just now?”

“I heard people call my name all the time, as if from far away.” Chi Nan said truthfully, he didn’t intend to conceal You Yu.

You Yu stepped in for a while: “Is it a familiar voice?”

Chi Nan shook his head: “It seems that the voices of many people are stacked together, and they are not like the sounds that humans can make.”

He unreservedly described with You Yu what he had just experienced, “I wanted to see what was going on, and I came out unknowingly, sorry.”

You Yu frowned for a moment, and suddenly asked relaxedly: “Why do you apologize?”

“Dawn base does not allow dream tourists to walk around at will?” Chi Nan said, after all, this is not a tourist attraction.

You Yu smiled, did not speak, and the two continued to walk into the building.

Chi Nan didn’t expect that it was just a moment of daze, and he had already walked so far.

Xue didn’t know when it stopped, but You Yu grasped his hand but didn’t let go.

Chi Nan looked up at the dark night sky, unabashedly regret: “It’s a pity that the snow has stopped, otherwise I can stay with you in the snow for a while.”

You Yu paused slightly: “Brother Nan, do you remember?”

Chi Nan: “Huh?”

You Yu looked at him with a faint smile: “When I was a kid, I said to myself to myself, when I am free, I want you to play in the snow.”

After a moment of silence, Chi Nan murmured, “You know.”

In a positive tone, he was certain that You Yu knew that he was the evil spirit in “The Crying Boy”.

You Yu smiled and answered him in silence. Chi Nan digested it for a moment and then asked, “When did you know?”

“When I came out of the ghost tunnel,” You Yu said truthfully, “I went back to the old house more than ten years ago and saw your painting on the wall, because here—”

He gestured to the corner of his eye and pupils, “I know it’s you.”

Chi Nan blinked: “That’s it…”

After a pause, he raised his eyelids and asked seriously, “What am I like?”

You Yu thought for a while, curled his lips slightly: “Cuteer than me.”

Chi Nan: “…oh.”

He doesn’t know how to catch the opponent’s evaluation.

“Brother Nan, how much do you remember about this painting?” You Yu smiled, rarely asking seriously.

Chi Nan shook his head: “I only remember my name, and everyone said that I am an ominous ban on painting, which will bring disaster and misfortune to people around me.”

Looking at the shallow footprints on the snow, Chi Nan said in a low voice, “I seem to have caused you too.”

He has always felt that the misfortune that Xiao Youyu has encountered has been more or less affected by his own ‘curse’ and influence.

“Is that so?” You Yu took a deep look at him, and said casually, “I think the best thing Bai Yingzhi has done in her life is to buy the painting and hang it in my bedroom. inside.”

Chi Nan looked over with a bit of puzzlement, but You Yu didn’t intend to explain clearly. Some things were boring to say.

“Before you entered the dream world, did you hear anything about this world?”

Although the dreaming system cleans up the memories of the dreamers who have left, all kinds of coincidences, which are not coincidental, give him reason to suspect that Chi Nan is related to the entire dreaming system.

Chi Nan shook his head: “No.”

“So…” You Yu frowned thoughtfully.

“What’s wrong?” Chi Nan keenly discovered that You Yu was a little different from before.

You Yu: “When I first became a dream maker, I tried to change my wish to find your painting, but the system rejected me.”

He paused, he looked at Chi Nan and continued, “The reason is that the system cannot find things that never existed.”

Chi Nan: “So the system thinks that’I’ does not exist?”

“At least it is so perfunctory to me,” You Yu said, “So before entering the ghost tunnel, I am not sure of your real existence.”

It’s actually difficult to define or verify the existence of this kind of thing. It is difficult to find the answer in this world built with dreams as to what is imaginary and what is real.

“I was almost fooled by the system.” You Yu curled his lips.

Chi Nan: “But why does the system do this?”

You Yu: “The possibility I can think of is that the system conceals your existence in a negative way, perhaps because you have some kind of close connection with the world.”

He is the world’s most senior dream maker, and the beginning of his consciousness awakening is exactly the beginning of the birth of the dream world.

Too many coincidences are no coincidences.

While the two talked, they walked back to the building where the opinion calculation was conducted. Jiang Yu and 207 wanted to smoke in the corridor. Seeing Chi Nan and the others walking, the two women asked inquiringly at the same time.

“What’s the matter?” 207 glanced from Chi Nan to the glass door that was locked all the year round, “How did you get out?”

Before Chi Nan spoke, You Yu said calmly: “Sorry, I forgot to lock the door before.”

Chi Nan knew no more nonsense and left it to You Yu to play.

207 raised his eyebrows with suspicion: “Do you still make such low-level mistakes?”

You Yu shrugged: “I am not a program set by the system.”

207 glanced at him, and asked very wittyly.

When the group headed to Liming Station, You Yu suddenly called Chi Nan to stop: “Should you consider staying at Liming Base?”

Chi Nan couldn’t react at once: “What?”

You Yu seemed to hold back a smile: “If you feel uncomfortable with living, just forget it, you and I can go back to Zicheng.”

He threw the choice to Chi Nan.

Chi Nan was seriously silent for a moment, and concluded: “Because of the binding function of the special props, do you have to stay with me?”

He thinks this is the answer he can infer the closest to the truth.

Who knew that You Yu smiled: “Of course not.”

Chi Nan: “…?”

“Brother Nan, because I am chasing you.”

At this moment, there was a train coming into the station, and the sound of “Dang Dang Dang Dang” roared from far and near.

But Chi Nan still heard You Yu’s words clearly, and then stunned firmly in the sound of the train crushing the rails.

Knowing that he heard it, You Yu looked at him deliberately for a moment, leaving him nowhere to hide.

After a long while, the train stopped.

Chi Nan blinked slowly: “But I have not been chased.”

“It’s a coincidence, I haven’t chased anyone.” You Yu said.

Chi Nan: “Oh.”

You Yuxiao: “Then trouble you, adjust to it?”

Finally, You Yu and Chi Nan jumped on the train bound for Zicheng.

…

For Chi Nan, this train journey is different from any time before.

But he couldn’t tell the difference.

There is a constant iron cold smell in the carriage, and the sound of the friction between the carriage and the railroad tracks circulates endlessly, monotonous as usual.

But Chi Nan didn’t want to sleep or go to the dining car area to have a meal. He just sat quietly in his seat, looking straight out of the window in a daze, looking a little nervous.

You Yu sat opposite him and looked at him with interest: “Brother Nan?”

Chi Nan returned to his senses: “Huh?”

You Yuxiao: “Don’t be nervous.”

“Well,” Chi Nan turned his gaze to the boundless wilderness again, and the night covered everything. After a while, he pursed his lips and said quietly, “I’m still adjusting.”

In the end, Chi Nan probably got used to it a little, and he fell asleep in the seat.

You Yu didn’t alarm him either, and only gently put a piece of clothing on him.

When Chi Nan woke up, the speed of the train had slowed down, and Chi Nan knew that this was coming into the station quickly.

He wrapped his clothes tightly and looked out the window as usual.

For a moment, most of the sleepiness on Chi Nan’s face disappeared. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking out the window unbelievably.

But except for the darkness, he could see nothing.

The original sub-city was illuminated like the day, and the eternal night’s railroad tracks were filled with a sunrise that never fell, but now…

The lights of Zicheng completely disappeared, sinking into a wilderness-like night.

Until the train drew into the platform, there was no light on, and it was as silent as a beast waiting for an opportunity to catch its prey.

And You Yu, who was sitting on the opposite side, disappeared.
