After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle - Chapter 118
You Yu’s eyes were half drooping, his lips collapsed into a straight line, and the sickly paleness on his face made him look like a living person.
The suffocating thoughts and choices, even the sound of heartbeat was drowned by the rain.
You Yu doesn’t think that Chi Nan is just a painting spirit of forbidden painting.
Compared with the painting spirit who can bring disaster to people, judging from the clues in the past, he believes more in his original judgment——
Chi Nan is the dream maker, or part of the dream maker.
Although there are doubts in many aspects of this assumption, You Yu has always stubbornly believed in his intuition.
This nightmare also gave a very clear reminder. The Dream City is equivalent to the dream world in his perception. The Dawn Tower is relative to the Dawn Base Office Building, and the gods who live in the tower can realize the wishes of people are undoubtedly made Dream Lord.
If Chi Nan is substituted into the hypothesis of the dream maker, his existence is long before the birth of “The Crying Boy” because he was sealed in the painting for some reason.
In a sense, the painting is the prison where Chi Nan was imprisoned.
But without “The Crying Boy”, he might never have an intersection with Chi Nan…
He knows that the disappearance of a painting can bring about a change in the timeline, and he also knows what it means. This is a choice.
You Yu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze moved to No. 9’s hands hanging on his legs. These hands were so thin that only a thin layer of skin was left covered with bones, the veins were exposed, and the knuckles of the fingers were covered with calluses.
If you want to destroy the painting, you need to kill No.9, while keeping the painting is the opposite.
“You Yu, I want “The Crying Boy” to be born.” Chi Nan said calmly as usual.
You Yu’s expression paused and did not speak.
Chi Nan continued: “Two choices, we know what will happen in the timeline of the painting’s birth, the other choice is completely unknown and the risk is too great.”
You Yu was silent for a moment before speaking, “Isn’t it boring to be sealed in the painting for so long?”
“Boring,” Chi Nan has always been honest, “but it’s also safe.”
You Yu’s drooping eyes flashed with complicated emotions that were not suitable for his age: “Brother Nan, you don’t seem to be afraid of the unknown and risks.”
Chi Nan: “Well, but the painting brings everything now…”
After a pause, he continued to say calmly, “I don’t want to lose this experience of getting along with you.”
You Yu was stunned for a moment: “Is it worth it to be bored for so many years?”
Chi Nan didn’t hesitate: “Yes.”
You Yu seemed to smile softly: “You can say such imaginative things so calmly, Brother Nan, you are very foul.”
“Really?” Chi Nan’s voice did not fluctuate. “That’s sorry.”
“I just can’t bear it.”
Chi Nan didn’t know that his honesty was the most foul.
“I can understand it as, are you responding to my confession?” You Yu asked shamelessly.
Chi Nan choked: “Please.”
You Yu clasped her right hand with her left hand and clasped her fingers.
“Okay, I see,” he raised his eyes to 9th, “how about we make a deal?”
No. 9 looked at this little young master who often talked to himself strangely, but inexplicably made him feel familiar and kind: “What deal?”
The young master’s left eye is dark and heavy, which always makes people unable to see his true thoughts, while his right eye is clear and green, so clean without a trace of impurities.
The contradictory and opposite beauty is perfectly presented on this pale face, making it difficult to look away.
“I can promise you to survive the sacrifice, but relatively, you have to promise me one thing.” You Yu said.
No. 9 looked directly at these bewitching eyes, and curled his lips unmoved: “But I am not afraid of dying.”
“…Oh,” You Yu responded unhurriedly, he is best at dealing with children who are not afraid of death, “I used to think so too.”
No. 9 looked at him suspiciously: “A young master like you won’t understand.”
In his cognition, the young masters of wealthy families were grown up watered by the love of their families, and would not understand the embarrassment and hopelessness of struggling to survive in the quagmire, let alone ignore death.
You Yu shrugged: “This is not the first time I have been selected as a sacrifice. The last time I was sacrificed was my mother.”
“Why?” No. 9 looked at him, frowning.
You Yu smiled indifferently: “Like your mother, using me as the capital of the transaction, she can get the benefits.”
“That’s a pity,” Number 9 shook the iron chain in his hand. “Now your mind has changed?”
You Yu nodded: “Because you have encountered the greatest good thing.”
He recalled Chi Nan’s response to him just now, and the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably.
No. 9: “I can’t be so lucky.”
“Don’t speak so absolutely. Believe it or not, I will foresee and see that if you survive, you will encounter very interesting things.”
No. 9 is still a child after all, and he really aroused a little interest: “Interesting things? Can you tell me more specifically?”
You Yu nodded, he could easily understand everyone’s inner desires: “You will draw works that everyone will remember.”
He played the word game very cunningly, and did not tell the other party. On a certain timeline, everyone would remember the painting, but no one knew the author of the painting.
No. 9’s eyes flashed: “You didn’t lie to me?”
“I use my most important thing to assure you that I didn’t lie to you,” his sincerity is hard to refuse, “and if you live on this kind of thing, how do you think you are not wrong, right? Why don’t you try?”
On the 9th, he was completely moved by him: “What do you want me to promise?”
You Yu looked at the dawn tower shrouded in rain: “Draw a portrait of the **** in the tower.”
“Are you serious?” No. 9 twisted his eyebrows in disbelief.
You Yu nodded: “This is my condition, it’s easy.”
No. 9: “…” Feeling on the thief ship.
Finally he pressed his lips helplessly: “Okay, I don’t guarantee that I can do it. After all, no one has seen the gods in the tower with their own eyes. You can save me as much as you like.”
You Yuxiao: “Okay, deal.”
After speaking, he complained to Chi Nan lowly: “What a ugly kid.”
Chi Nan: “I feel a lot like you.”
You Yu: “It was so difficult when I was a kid?”
Chi Nan: “It’s also now.”
You Yu: “…”
Chi Nan: “If No. 9 can’t get close to the Dawn Tower, is there any backup plan?”
You Yu thought for a while and said, “I can get started by myself.”
Chi Nan: “…”
You Yu: “I am not necessarily worse than him. If it weren’t for respecting the rules of the system, I would really paint by myself.”
Chi Nan: “That’s okay.”
You Yu smiled gently: “To be honest, I am really jealous of this kid.”
Chi Nan: “Why?”
“Brother Nan, he knew you in the painting before me, can’t I be jealous?” You Yu said halfly and half jokingly, and I don’t know whether he used a joke to cover up his seriousness or deliberately bullied Chi Nan.
Chi Nan didn’t plan to talk to him when he didn’t understand the intention of the other party.
…
The carriage drove along the fork road, the road became narrower and narrower, and the carriage bumped more and more severely.
You Yu looked at the wet road and wasteland behind the barbed wire. Through his eyes, Chi Nan noticed obvious cracks in the scattered sculptures on both sides of the road.
The deeper the fork, the more broken the sculpture.
When twilight fell, almost all the sculptures passing by the carriage were obviously defective.
“It seems to be caused by man-made destruction.” Chi Nan said while looking at the statue of the deity with missing arms and legs.
You Yu agreed: “It seems that not everyone is a believer of the gods.”
Finally, the carriage stopped outside a small-scale abandoned amusement park.
It seems that in order to welcome their arrival, the neon signs of poor contact in the amusement park lit up in the wet night, twinkling weird and unreal.
The bizarre lights were cut to pieces by barbed wire and reflected on the damp carriage floor.
You Yu and No. 9 quickly exchanged their sights, neither of them looked scared.
“To sacrifice in an abandoned amusement park, this wizard organization’s style is quite unique.” You Yu even joked casually.
No.9:”……”
The ‘click’ of the boots stepping into the mud approached, and a black shadow appeared outside the wire fence, followed by the sound of the key twisting the iron lock.
“We don’t need your evaluation,” Sombra said to the two children, looking into the carriage, “Stop talking nonsense.”
You Yu quickly looked at the person wrapped in the black robe, and through the flickering neon lights of the playground, he noticed the blue flame snake tattoo on the neck of the black robe.
He twisted his brows slightly, and when the ghost tunnel appeared on “Road 404”, the system popped up this blue totem.
When the Zicheng encounters a serious bug, the system will crash completely after the flame snake symbol appears.
Dreamers have always believed that this is a bug warning sign set by the system.
Is there any connection between the wizarding organization of this timeline and the bug of the system?
Before the other party noticed the strangeness, You Yu had already retracted his gaze, acting like a well-behaved and polite young master: “Excuse me, why did you bring us to the amusement park?”
The black-robed man unfastened his and No. 9’s fetters, and he did not hesitate to explain to him: “Because our customers like to eat buffet.”
The man just wanted to grab his arm. You Yu dexterously avoided his movements, and consciously jumped out of the carriage: “Thank you, I’ll just do it myself.”
He stepped on the puddle and splashed all over the black robe, so he blinked and said pitifully, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
Even the devil could hardly refuse such a look and tone.
The black-robed man: “…I don’t care about these little things with the sacrifice.”
You Yu: “Uncle, will your customers eat us?”
The black-robed man did not speak, and You Yu continued to ask, “Can you understand where the ‘person’ who eats us comes from?”
The black-robed man gave him a cold look: “Only customers have the right to know the source of food, food does not have this right.”
“Oh, it’s a pity,” You Yu pursed her lips with regret, and lifted the shackles on her hands. “Since the guests like the buffet, can you untie the handcuffs for me? Maybe it can bring more to the guests. fun of.”
The black-robed man’s tone became cold: “Stop dreaming, get out of here!”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it quickly dampened Yu Yu’s hair. He walked in the mud for a few steps, and his shoes and socks were soaked.
He and Chi Nan noticed that in addition to them and the carriage number 9, several more carriages came one after another, and two children about the same age as them were driven off in each carriage.
Without exception, they all showed expressions of nervousness, horror and even despair.
The last thirteen children in handcuffs stood side by side in front of the open gate of the amusement park. The other eleven children sobbed and trembled. Youyu and No.9 stood among them, their calm and boring expressions seemed out of place.
Through the rain curtain, You Yu looked towards the shabby playground exuding the strong smell of rust and moss: “This place is different from the ordinary nightmare book. It is a real timeline. It seems that we have no death rules to speculate.”
Reality means that there are no rules and restrictions set by the dream maker, and it is full of possibilities and freedoms.
“It seems that the only way to clear customs is violent.” You Yu tut.
Chi Nan understood what he meant: “Okay.”
