catch the dream

Yu Hao approached Ou Qihang cautiously, just as his hand touched his forearm, Ou Qihang raised his head and woke up.

"What quarter is it?" Ou Qihang asked, and immediately realized something, "Oh, it was in a dream."

"Did you fall asleep in your dream?"

At this moment, Zhou Sheng's surprise was not about Ou Qihang's injury, but about asking him about sleeping in a dream, as if he was very puzzled.

"Hmm..." Ou Qihang's spirit was not very good, Yu Hao took the initiative to sit beside him, and untied the bandage, revealing deep tooth marks on it.

Chen Yekai said: "Qihang was bitten to protect me."

"It's nothing." Ou Qihang said wearily.

"I want to kick you." Zhou Sheng said, "Why can't you wait for so long?"

Yu Hao glanced at Zhou Sheng, and Ou Qihang said, "I thought you were already here, but you were trapped outside and didn't enter my safe haven. I was afraid that something might happen, so I came out to look for you."

Ou Qihang's white chest was bare, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, and he obviously exercised regularly on weekdays. He had a body like that of a sports student, thin but with not exaggerated muscles.Yu Hao thought to himself that Xiao Yujun often teased him as a puppy, but Ou Qihang is the puppy.

Zhou Sheng: "What do you dream of when you fall asleep in a dream?"

Ou Qihang was very at a loss: "I can't tell. I dreamed of the Dunhuang murals. Many impressions began to appear very clear, and then gradually turned into lines..."

"Zhou Sheng." Yu Hao reminded, meaning now is not the time to mention this.

Zhou Sheng went to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look outside, and there were densely packed zombies outside the greenhouse coffee, blocked by the glass of the outer wall, with hideous faces pasted on the glass, which looked very funny on the contrary.

Chen Yekai said: "When I entered his dream, I appeared in the hospital. After I came out, I ran into him not far away. I ran into a very big one with a hammer. I used a flying knife to kill him. Its head was cut off, Qihang helped me guard my back, and it was bitten."

Chen Yekai's tone was very calm, but Ou Qihang said: "I was not careful."

Zhou Sheng stared at the piles of zombies outside, while Yu Hao gathered his strength beside him, his hands glowed with silvery white light, he pressed on Ou Qihang's wound in a virtual way, and looked at him seriously.

The wound began to heal, but Ou Qihang's complexion did not improve.In a short while, the bruised black shoulders and back returned to normal, and the complexion returned to fair.

Yu Hao tried his forehead - Ou Qihang had a fever, his forehead was hot.

"I can heal his wounds." Yu Hao said, "But after being bitten by a zombie, his wounds are still there. Qihang, you have to change the impression in your heart..."

Ou Qihang shook his head vigorously and said, "I'm feeling better, shall we go now?"

Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai, and said, "Once he turns into a zombie, what will happen?"

Zhou Sheng didn't answer, while Chen Yekai looked serious.

Yu Hao didn't think too seriously at first. In fact, ever since he entered Ou Qihang's dream and followed Zhou Sheng, he always regarded it as a game. After all, Zhou Sheng was so good at it, it was as if he was playing, all the way to the greenhouse Coffee, I didn't expect such a serious problem to happen.

If he, Yu Hao, Zhou Sheng or even Chen Yekai were bitten, they could still use the method of sending out dreams to ease the situation.But now the person infected by the zombies is Ou Qihang, the owner of the dream.

In other words, even if the three of them leave now, Ou Qihang will still stay in the dream and continue to be infected... At this moment, a reminder from the Golden Crow Wheel suddenly appeared in Yu Hao's mind.

What would happen if Ou Qihang was left alone?

They will be infected by psychological hints, lose control over the spiritual world, lead to the collapse of superficial consciousness, and gradually fall into the subconscious.

This impression was like a question and answer in Yu Hao's heart, and he grasped the word "psychological suggestion" keenly.

He immediately turned to Ou Qihang and said, "Have you ever thought that one day, you will become one of them?"

There was a little blankness in Ou Qihang's eyes, Yu Hao said, "This is the psychological hint you gave yourself."

"Yes." Ou Qihang admitted it readily, and replied: "I have really thought about whether I will become the same person as them after stepping into society."

Yu Hao explained to Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai again: "The psychological suggestion has been formed, and the result of being bitten by zombies is doomed. It is the vague 'hope' in his heart."

"What will be the result?" Chen Yekai asked.

"When he turns into a zombie," Yu Hao said, "the dream will be destroyed, and he will enter the subconscious just like Teacher Liang. But as long as he regains the totem, everything will return to how it was. We have to do it as soon as possible."

Zhou Sheng said, "Did the Golden Crow Wheel tell you?"

Yu Hao nodded, he didn't know why he got the reminder from Jin Wulun at this moment.

Zhou Sheng said, "Hurry up and let's go."

Ou Qihang said, "I can last for a while."

Zhou Sheng threw the gun to Yu Hao, and the two divided their weapons. Chen Yekai took out a silver pistol and twirled it between his fingers, indicating that his weapon was a gun. When he was about to help him, Ou Qihang cheered up and got up by himself. .

"I'm fine, you see, it's all right." Ou Qihang put on his coat, picked up his gun, "I'll open the way for you."

Chen Yekai: "Follow me! Stop being impulsive!"

Chen Yekai's tone was full of majesty, and Ou Qihang immediately said, "Okay, teacher."

The atmosphere instantly relaxed, and Yu Hao couldn't help being amused.With Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao in front and Chen Yekai in the back, Ou Qihang suddenly said, "Brother Ting isn't here."

"He doesn't know." Yu Hao explained.

Chen Yekai said again: "Don't ask, behave yourself."

Ou Qihang had no choice but to follow behind Yu Hao obediently. Yu Hao turned his head, glanced at Ou Qihang, and smiled. Anyone was like a student in front of Chen Yekai, so he couldn't accept it.

There was no way to go outside, the shopping plaza was full of zombies, Zhou Sheng entered the basement floor from the first floor of the mall, took off the emergency flashlight on the platform, and observed the subway lines.Ou Qihang said: "My home is in a neighborhood next to the subway station, and we can walk along this line."

Yu Hao said, "Do you take the subway?"

Zhou Sheng took a photo towards the end of the dark track and said, "Don't be afraid, there should be no zombies here."

The surrounding area was eerily quiet, Zhou Sheng led the way and walked in the tunnel.Yu Hao was still thinking, this was the first time he felt so clearly the prompts from the Golden Crow Wheel, he had only a hazy impression before.Why did he specifically remind himself instead of Zhou Sheng?

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Sheng said, "Sing a song and listen to it?"

Yu Hao said: "Don't make trouble, I'm thinking about Jin Wulun's consciousness exchange."

Zhou Sheng said: "Sometimes it will appear suddenly, remind me, and then disappear suddenly."

Yu Hao frowned deeply, and said, "Maybe it's because of authority? Once Qihang can't be cured, it will fall into the subconscious. According to Kaikai's analysis, the subconscious world is my management area..."

"Well." Zhou Sheng replied, "It's like the deepest ruins of Teacher Liang's consciousness. Kaikai and I are helpless, only your spirit is not affected, and you have become the only luminous celestial body in the absolutely dark area, that is, the moon. .”

Double star system, does it refer to the sun and the moon?The more Yu Hao thought about it, the more he felt that the truth was vaguely emerging from the water, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"I asked him if he was dreaming in a dream," Zhou Sheng said, "It's also for this reason, usually very few people fall asleep in a dream, once they leave the surface dream consciousness, and then go down..." Zhou Sheng said Pointing to his feet, he explained: "It is possible to get close to the subconscious mind."

Yu Hao originally wanted to say that he had also had a dream within a dream. In fact, the world of the dream within the dream still exists. It is also mentioned that dreams have many layers, and the last layer is the subconscious world.

But if you think about it carefully, the surface dream is the clearest, the easiest to remember after waking up, and the easiest to control the world of self-consciousness. Once you enter the dream again in the surface dream, the consciousness will become more and more blurred, and the world will become more and more blurred. More abstract and messier.

In this way, the birth of a dream within a dream is indeed the establishment of a channel approaching the subconscious area layer by layer.

Yu Hao was holding a flashlight, Zhou Sheng was wearing infrared goggles, and walked in the front, Zhou Sheng said casually, "So if we master the technique, we can also enter the subconscious world without collapsing the superficial dream?"

Yu Hao thought to himself that this could be a solution... But it might be even more difficult to dream in a dream.

Chen Yekai walked last, always paying attention to Ou Qihang's movements, Ou Qihang was a little panting, Chen Yekai said: "If the situation is not right, just speak up, don't hold on."

Ou Qihang replied: "I'm fine."

There was a long silence in the tunnel, and the sound of footsteps came from the front, talking softly with Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng.

"What are we going to do now?" Ou Qihang asked Chen Yekai, "Save my own dream world?"

"Find your totem, something you held on to but thought you had lost." Chen Yekai asked back, "Did Zhou Sheng tell you?"

Ou Qihang was a little dazed, with his heavy panting, his footsteps were always staggering.

"What could that be?" Ou Qihang asked again.

Chen Yekai spread his hands slightly: "You have to ask yourself."

These words were originally supposed to be spoken by Zhou Sheng to Ou Qihang, but for some reason, Zhou Sheng rarely communicated with Ou Qihang about the details of the dream world, perhaps too many people know about it now.

Ou Qihang couldn't help but asked again: "Are you guys real, or are you the image in my dream?"

Chen Yekai said, "I thought you already had the answer."

Ou Qihang said: "I don't know why, I feel more and more that all this is unreal."

"If you believe that all this is true, then it is true." Chen Yekai said casually, "And vice versa, sometimes even the memory we believe to be true may not be true."

"Yes, yes!" Ou Qihang cheered up again, and said to Chen Yekai, "I have seen it in many science fiction novels... Sometimes I even feel that the whole world is false, and everyone is just a part of my imagination ...they all exist because of me..."

"It also includes me standing here." Chen Yekai said, "So, this is the key to everything."

Ou Qihang stopped and looked at Chen Yekai inexplicably. Chen Yekai stopped not far in front of him. At the end of the dark tunnel, a little light appeared, and the light reflected his back.

He turned his head slightly, like the handsome Lyra bard Orpheus who extradited the late Yulidai from the underworld, but he still didn't take another look at Ou Qihang.

"Since the whole world was born for you and died because of you," Chen Yekai said, "then it should be what you want, why do you still have to give in?"

Ou Qihang stood straight, at this moment, a gunshot sounded from a distance, and the two of them ran quickly at the same time, rushing to the end of the tunnel.

Yu Hao held the gun, Zhou Sheng said, "You're too nervous! It's just a cat! You murdered your husband!"

"How would I know!" Yu Hao said in a frenzy, "It suddenly rushed over from the roof of the car just now! I'm afraid you'll be caught!"

There were two subway cars parked in front of him. Zhou Sheng was about to climb up, but a cat jumped down from the roof. Yu Hao was already very nervous, but when he saw a black thing, he immediately shot him in the head, scaring Zhou Sheng. Jump.

Chen Yekai said: "Let's go from the side, if something happens to the side, you can draw your gun."

There are two parallel tracks in this tunnel, and the narrow space allows only one person to pass through. Zhou Sheng wanted to walk along the roof of the car, but it really couldn't. Passing between the two cars is the best choice.

Zhou Sheng pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and Chen Yekai said, "I'm coming to the queen."

One by one, they walked into the gap between the two subways and walked a few steps. Seeing that the subway lights were on, Yu Hao glanced into the door.There was a pale light in the carriage. What I saw in the tunnel earlier was a faint light cast from the carriage.

"Don't shoot." Zhou Sheng urged, "Put the gun away."

Yu Hao retracted his gun, Zhou Sheng carried the golden cudgel, and led Yu Hao forward with one hand, while Ou Qihang walked behind Yu Hao.

It was eerily quiet all around.

Yu Hao whispered: "Look ahead, leave the surroundings to me."

Zhou Sheng said, "Just pay attention to the top of your head."

Behind him, neither Ou Qihang nor Chen Yekai spoke, Yu Hao turned his head to check on Ou Qihang's situation, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a severed hand hanging in the air, grasping the iron rod, in the car door.

Yu Hao: "..."

The next moment, a zombie slammed into the subway window with a "bang"!

Yu Hao's heart almost stopped beating, Ou Qihang turned his head suddenly, controlled himself not to shout, his back bumped against the door of another car, Chen Yekai said: "There are also behind! Don't come close!"

Zhou Sheng immediately said: "Calm down! They can't come out! Quicken your pace!"

The hundreds of zombies in the carriage were all frying pans, and densely packed towards them from both sides, dragging their rotting bodies, blood plasma and yellow-white unknown liquid stained the car windows.Zhou Sheng opened the way first, but it was Chen Yekai who said, "Don't be nervous! Keep going!"

Ou Qihang couldn't help panting, Yu Hao immediately locked his wrist, and dragged him to follow Zhou Sheng to speed up his pace.Chen Yekai kept turning his head while running, and drew out his pistol.

The next moment, the window glass shattered with a "wow", and hundreds of zombies squeezed out of the window, crowded in the gap between the two subway cars and chased after them. Chen Yekai said, "Hurry up!"

"Shoot!" Zhou Sheng ordered.

The gun rang, and Chen Yekai's gun was like a laser, and it could blow off the heads of four or five zombies with one shot. Ou Qihang turned around to help, but was dragged by Yu Hao and ran at full speed. Yu Hao said to Ou Qihang: "You are a dream Master! You must go first!"

Yu Hao successfully pushed Ou Qihang out, Chen Yekai was entangled by zombies, Yu Hao drew out two daggers, and shouted: "Low your head!"

Chen Yekai leaned back violently, and the dagger flew towards his side, Zhou Sheng shouted again: "You two get down!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Hao grabbed Chen Yekai's arm and pressed him to the ground. The golden cudgel suddenly stretched out, and pierced through dozens of zombies with one stick, piercing them like candied haws.Yu Hao carried Chen Yekai away from the gap in the subway, Ou Qihang threw a grenade into it, everyone jumped onto the platform, and quickly ran to the exit of the subway station.

There was an explosion sound from below, and the front of the subway car was blown out of shape. Zhou Sheng knocked on the first fire gate with a stick, and the iron door slammed down. The four of them sat on the steps panting for breath.

Chen Yekai's left hand was bitten bloody by the zombies, Yu Hao immediately knelt down on one knee, his hands radiated light to heal his wounds.

Zhou Sheng said, "These two are infected."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Yekai said, "We still have time. If we can't, it's up to you to kick me out of the dream. What about you? How's the situation?"

Yu Hao checked Chen Yekai, he was more injured than Ou Qihang, Ou Qihang's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was breathing more heavily.

Ou Qihang nodded, Yu Hao checked his pupils, there were signs of dilation.

"Let's go." Chen Yekai said, "The end is coming soon."

Zhou Sheng looked up at the exit and said, "I don't know if it's the end."

What Zhou Sheng originally asked was whether Ou Qihang's father had ever left him the key to "conquer himself", just like Yu Hao's chess set that turned into soldiers or the shield that closed his heart.Ou Qihang thinks maybe it exists in his home.Then it means that the totem and the boss are waiting at his house.

Yu Hao stood at the exit and said, "I think this is the end."

Not far from the exit of the subway station, under the dark night, a neighborhood is covered with viscous biological tissue. There is a twisted tall building in the middle, with black strange runes floating on the roof, and a dark mist emanates from the runes, covering the entire area. The whole sky.

"Here we come." A deep voice said.

Ou Qihang had fallen into a state of insanity, but when he heard this voice, he instantly woke up.

"dad?"

"Come on." Ou Weihong's voice echoed in the sky, "Qihang, you said you would listen to Dad."

The other three listened quietly, Ou Qihang said tremblingly: "No, no."

Chen Yekai said, "Remember what I said."

Ou Qihang immediately recalled, panting, "This is my world, Dad."

Zhou Sheng loaded the magazine, looked up at the sky, there were dark clouds and it was raining.Yu Hao reached out to catch the rain, the rain was scarlet.

In front of the castle where Ou Qihang lived, a strange and shining flower appeared.

"What is that?" Zhou Sheng asked.

"It's the place where my dad jumped off the building and fell to the ground." Ou Qihang said, "When I got home that day, the downstairs was covered in his blood."

This huge flower took root in the earth and spread the zombie virus to the entire city of Ying.Chen Yekai said, "Let's get started, Zhou Sheng."

"Without the sun, it's a bit difficult to fight." Zhou Sheng murmured, but still whistled, and somersaulting clouds appeared, Yu Hao spread his wings, and the two of them flew to the top platform of the castle with Ou Qihang and Chen Yekai .

A door appeared at the end of the platform, and it stood wide open.

"There is no gatekeeper?" Yu Hao asked.

Zhou Sheng pulled the safety catch of the gun and said, "The gatekeeper has already been killed in reality. After entering, Ou Qihang summoned the totem, and we entangled him."

Yu Hao instantly understood why it was Ou Qihang's father who was waiting here!Not long ago, the officials fell one after another, which in a sense solved the first knot in Ou Qihang's heart.But the death of his father was still a shadow in his life that he couldn't face.

This psychological shadow does not lie in his father's accepting bribes, but in Ou Qihang's belief that Ou Weihong accepted the money for his only son!

Zhou Sheng: "Let's entangle the boss, Kaikai protects Qihang to seize the totem! Let's do it!"
