catch the dream

Yu Hao made a mark in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and asked Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai to stand in their positions. Through the glass window, they saw a small, ancient bungalow in the ancient city in the distance. quite far.

"The Hive Palace is where his totem is, and it was taken over later." Yu Hao took out a black pen, and directly marked the opposite scenery on the floor-to-ceiling glass window, explaining, "He used to think that this bungalow area was his new home. Part of the beginning of the journey, so there is a good chance that the..."

"Let's go." Chen Yekai immediately turned around and walked out of the tower. Before Zhou Sheng left, he and Yu Hao glanced at the rented house. The photos clipped on the rope, many photos related only to Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng were faded and blurred, making it difficult to identify clearly. .Only the photo of Fu Liqun, the two of them, Chen Yekai, Huang Ting, and Ou Qihang on the backstage sofa on the night of the college celebration was still there.

Yu Hao: "It's been a long time."

"Yeah." Zhou Sheng tore off the photo, put it in his trouser pocket, and quickly walked down the tower after the two of them.

The wind and sand are still all over the sky, and it is more violent than before coming in last night, and the environment has become hotter, and the hatching nests of bugs have covered most of the ancient city.

"Hurry up, I always feel that this place won't last long!" Zhou Sheng walked forward against the wind and sand, and the three of them chose the sheltered place behind the house to move forward slowly.

Yu Hao guided the two of them based on his memory, and was always on the lookout for black shadows flying around.There are more and more flying mosquitoes, and they are still patrolling. Fortunately, after a while, the sandstorm gradually subsides, the sun covered by the wind and sand goes down, and the world gradually returns to tranquility.

Under the star river, the bungalows not far away were nearly half buried by the wind and sand.

"Are you sure it's here?" Zhou Sheng said.

Yu Hao stepped forward and looked around suspiciously, but now he was not quite sure.Chen Yekai walked around the bungalow and said, "This is not like a residential one, but like a... grave."

There was a strange stone tablet standing in front of the group of bungalows. Zhou Sheng kicked the stone tablet, and the stone tablet became loose, and gravel fell down in a rustle. On the stone tablet were engraved three big characters "End of the play".

Yu Hao: "..."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Chen Yekai: "What is this?"

"The self-suggestion of a guy who likes watching dramas..." Yu Hao replied.

There was a small gap in the stone door, and Zhou Sheng stretched his golden cudgel into the door to pry open the gap that allowed one person to pass through. Chen Yekai got in first, Yu Hao followed, and Zhou Sheng was in the rear.

Inside the door was a dark, bottomless staircase. The dagger in Yu Hao's hand was floating and shimmering, and the three of them walked down carefully.The underground space is very spacious, after walking for a while, Yu Hao passed their university dormitory room, and then went down, there was another glass door at the bottom.

Yu Hao came to cut the ribbon and recognized that it was a gym. Zhou Sheng stepped forward and pushed the door, but the door didn't open.

Chen Yekai couldn't push it open either, and said, "Look for the key."

"Let me try." Yu Hao held the floating luminous dagger in his left hand, and gently pushed the door with his right hand, and the door opened.

Chen Yekai wondered, "Why?"

"Because I am the shareholder of this gym." Yu Hao said.

There was a slight gasp from the underground space. Fitness equipment was thrown in a mess, leaflets and waste paper were everywhere, as if it had been ransacked.On the more than ten TVs hanging beside the treadmill, some are flashing snowflake signals, and some are playing American dramas.

This scene was like a weird horror movie, Yu Hao felt his heart tremble when he watched it, and made a booing gesture to Zhou Sheng.

The three of them stood quietly when they heard the sound of heavy breathing coming from the depths of the gym.

Yu Hao: "!!!"

Yu Hao was about to step forward quickly, but Zhou Sheng pulled him behind him and walked slowly. The white light from the dagger illuminated the end of the gym. Before the mirror, they finally saw Fu Liqun.

Fu Liqun's hands were cut behind his back, he was only wearing a pair of basketball pants, and his muscles were reddened by the ropes. He was fixed on a chair, wearing a blindfold, and stuffed his mouth with a cloth, as if he was kidnapped or waiting to be trained so-so.

Three people: "..."

He curled up slightly in pain, his body was covered with sweat, one drop after another, dripping on the ground, his bare chest rose and fell with his breathing, and there were whip marks and wounds drawn out on his waist and abdominal muscles.

"elder brother!"

Yu Hao immediately cut the rope for him with a dagger in his hand, Zhou Sheng strode up, took off his blindfold, and slapped him in the face, while Chen Yekai stood guard with a gun.

"Brother!" Zhou Sheng shouted anxiously, Yu Hao swung the dagger away, cutting off the strings on his wrists and ankles, Zhou Sheng tore off the cloth stuffed in his mouth.Fu Liqun's eyebrows and hair were covered with sweat, and he opened his eyes slightly.

"There are enemies!" Chen Yekai shouted.

Yu Hao only felt a gust of wind behind him. Zhou Sheng immediately kicked the chair, kicking Yu Hao and Fu Liqun away together. He turned around and was about to swing the golden cudgel in his hand when the black snake-like rope suddenly wrapped around his neck. , took him up to the ground, threw him onto the treadmill, and made a loud crash!

Chen Yekai fired, and the sound reverberated in the gym. A figure in the darkness came to him in an instant and stuck to him.

"Don't do it..." a soft voice said.

Chen Ye stood up flatly, kicked the enemy flying with a roundabout kick, and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, my sexual orientation is wrong."

Immediately after a scream, the enemy was kicked flying, Zhou Sheng got up and shouted: "Lighting!"

Yu Hao waved his hand, a dagger flew away in a whirl, nailed to the ceiling, the light was bright, Zhou Sheng could see clearly that the enemy was a banshee with a good figure and a beautiful face!

"Sister-in-law?!" Zhou Sheng said in disbelief.

"It's not sister-in-law!" Yu Hao said, "It's just that she looks like her! I know who she is!"

"Who is it?" Chen Yekai asked suspiciously.

Yu Hao shouted: "I don't understand the explanation, take him away first!"

The beautiful banshee was wearing a long dress from the Western Regions, holding a long whip, and flicked it in the air, making a loud noise.

"Wake him up!" Zhou Sheng shouted.

Yu Hao cast spells in his hands to heal Fu Liqun.Zhou Sheng shook the golden cudgel away, and threw it at the banshee when he picked something. The banshee shook the black long whip in her hand, and instantly shook the shadow of the whip, shaking the barbell, treadmill, stretching machine, and exercise bike. Scattering, the explosive power is simply terrifying.Yu Hao hugged Fu Liqun, dragged him to a corner, and tried his best to wake him up with his healing power.

"Brother! Wake up!" Yu Hao shouted anxiously.

Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai went up together, but they were not the opponent of the banshee. The whip shadow came and went, and the banshee screamed pitifully. "With a sound of spinning, he was swept by the long whip, rolled around his ankle, and his body flew into the air, hitting the wall!

Zhou Sheng shouted: "Let's go!"

Yu Hao struggled to pick up Fu Liqun's arm, half dragging and half hugging him to take him away, while Zhou Sheng held his shield against the violent whip, Chen Yekai staggered to his feet, and shot at the banshee.

"Yu Hao..." Fu Liqun finally woke up, grabbed Yu Hao's arm, and stared at him blankly.

"Brother!" Yu Hao said, "Great! Hurry up! No... What should we do now?"

"Ask him what this monster is afraid of!" Chen Yekai's words awakened the dreamer, Yu Hao immediately showed Fu Liqun the banshee, and asked, "What is that girl afraid of the most?"

Fu Liqun's eyes were distracted, and he said to himself: "I...I won't go...I...the last...a little thing...is gone."

"I'm going to die!" Zhou Sheng roared, the voice actually startled the banshee, "Why are you afraid of this thing! Sober up!"

Chen Yekai and Zhou Sheng tried their best, but they could only fight to a draw with the banshee. Zhou Sheng was about to retreat with his shield on his shoulders, when Chen Yekai rushed towards Yu Hao and Fu Liqun. Suddenly, the banshee screamed with all her strength, and the entire gym floor began to Booming and moving, it became a treadmill conveyor belt, and moved them deeper.

Chen Yekai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted: "Afraid of the weighing scale! Must be afraid of the weighing scale!"

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Yu Hao staggered to his feet and glanced into the corner, only to see a round weighing scale being delivered to the corner by a conveyor belt. Zhou Sheng shouted, "It's too far away! I can't get it!"

Yu Hao led Fu Liqun to run hard on the conveyor belt on the ground, and with a backhand move, the dagger fixed on the ceiling flew to the corner, nailing the weighing scale, Yu Hao retracted his five fingers again, and flung the weighing scale over.

Chen Yekai ran with his body bent, spread his arms, raised his hand chicly and shot, hit the weighing scale, and the scale whirled and flew towards Zhou Sheng.

"If you don't lose weight in May...you will be sad in June!" Zhou Sheng jumped up in the air, leaned against the golden cudgel with his back, spun in place, hit the weighing scale, and shouted, "Beauty! Let's learn about swimming and fitness!"

The weighing scale flew towards the banshee like a shooting star, and with a loud "bang", it hit the banshee's face, and amidst the screams, the transmission on the ground stopped.

Zhou Sheng shouted loudly: "Go!"

Yu Hao and Chen Yekai each took one arm of Fu Liqun, dragged him, ran desperately, and climbed the steps. Zhou Sheng closed the door, rushed to the end of the steps, and squeezed out the stone door.

In the safe haven, the three were exhausted and put Fu Liqun down. The wound on Fu Liqun's body had healed, but he was powerless. He lay on the floor in the living room of the shared room, closed his eyes, and murmured: "Water...water..."

Chen Yekai opened the refrigerator. The refrigerator was full of mineral water. He unscrewed a bottle and poured it on Fu Liqun's face, but Fu Liqun didn't move.

Yu Hao: "..."

Zhou Sheng knelt beside Fu Liqun, patted his face with his head down, and shouted, "Brother!"

Fu Liqun just closed his eyes and said, "Water."

Zhou Sheng took the mineral water bottle and fed it into Fu Liqun's mouth, but he couldn't pour it in.

Chen Yekai was in a state of embarrassment, he stroked his hair on his forehead, and his brows were deeply furrowed.Zhou Sheng roared angrily: "Brother!"

Yu Hao suddenly remembered what Fu Liqun said.

"I feel like walking in a desert. I don't know how long I have to walk to find an oasis... I thought your sister-in-law was my oasis. I walked for a long time, looking for some water to drink, but no matter where I went, It's all a mirage."

"It's useless, Zhou Sheng." Yu Hao also sat down on the ground beside him, and said, "He can't wake up, he has to drink water, and he can only drink it if someone feeds him."

Zhou Sheng looked at Fu Liqun quietly, his face full of hostility.

"We must find the sister-in-law in his dream." Yu Hao said, "There is no other way."

"I still have to find Cen Shan." Chen Yekai said, "Put him in a safe haven and set off as soon as possible, time is running out."

Zhou Sheng knelt beside the unconscious Fu Liqun, staring at his tightly closed eyes. There was silence in the safe haven, and the flow of time gradually slowed down in the rental house where they had countless common memories, and then almost stopped completely.

Yu Hao walked up to Zhou Sheng and knelt down on one knee. Zhou Sheng glanced at Yu Hao with anger in his eyes.

"Brother, in your world, only love can save you, hey." Zhou Sheng said to himself, and then laughed, "I just don't believe it."

Yu Hao: "..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Sheng's whole body was ignited with golden fire!

Just like that day, when he lit the beacon for Yu Hao on the Great Wall and lit the fire in Liang Jinmin's world, his hair and clothes emitted golden flames, and his whole body exploded in the dim environment fire!

Yu Hao and Chen Yekai raised their hands to cover their eyes for a moment, Zhou Sheng was burning in the golden fire like a blazing sun.

Zhou Sheng gently lifted his middle index finger, holding Fu Liqun's memories with them for a photo.In an instant, the photo exploded into a spark, flying in the air on his finger.

"Get up!" Zhou Sheng shouted in shock, hugged Fu Liqun with one hand, covered his brows with the other hand, then bowed suddenly, and hugged him tightly!The fire spread from his body to Fu Liqun's body, erupted suddenly, and then spread to Yu Hao's body.

Zhou Sheng, Yu Hao, and Fu Liqun, who was in a coma, flew around countless photo-like scenes, flying around them—they were the countless days they spent with Fu Liqun, the companionship in the dormitory, running on the basketball court, Those who jumped outside the teaching building, and those who chipped in to buy snacks at the ice cream stand outside the school... Countless memory fragments shone with strong light, like a flowing river of light.

In an instant, the golden river of light fell silent again, turning into boundless blue light, like a calm river, and then moved towards Fu Liqun.

Fu Liqun opened his eyes.

"Brother!" Yu Hao shouted in surprise.

Zhou Sheng let go of Fu Liqun, let out a long breath, and looked at Fu Liqun in a daze. Fu Liqun was lying in Zhou Sheng's arms with a dazed expression on his face. Then, Zhou Sheng poured the rest of the water in the bottle and poured it all on Fu Liqun's face.

Fu Liqun suddenly yelled, his head was poured with cold water, he tried his best to get up, and looked at Zhou Sheng with a puzzled face, Zhou Sheng got up, took Yu Hao's hand, and sat down on the sofa.

Chen Yekai laughed, and Yu Hao also laughed.

"There is no more love." Zhou Sheng said to Fu Liqun seriously, "You still have us. Look, don't you also believe in this in your heart?"

Yu Hao said, "That's right, you see that Zhou Sheng also loves you very much."

"Don't be nasty!" Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, and then signaled Chen Yekai with his eyes, don't tell Fu Liqun what happened just now.

Fu Liqun looked puzzled, so he looked around and said, "Where am I?"

"Drink." Chen Yekai took another bottle of water and handed it to Fu Liqun. Fu Liqun was still at a loss. He looked down at his attire, and it took him a while to recover. He looked at them sadly and smiled.

"I really can't bear to wake up." Fu Liqun said, "When the sun comes out, there will be nothing left."

"Where are you?" Zhou Sheng said, "What's the name of the company?"

Fu Liqun didn't answer, but turned his head, opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and looked out the window in a daze.

Zhou Sheng said: "Time, brother, hurry up!"

Fu Liqun sighed and stood lonely.Zhou Sheng said again: "The body is well trained, this gym is not in vain."

Chen Yekai motioned for him to come, and Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao sat at the dining table. Yu Hao hadn't been back to this house for a long time, and he kind of missed the place where the three of them lived together.

"Liqun." Chen Yekai said, "We have received your call for help."

Fu Liqun drew the curtains, as if he didn't want to see the scene outside, turned his head to look at Chen Yekai, and sat down on the sofa.

Yu Hao looked at Fu Liqun worriedly at the dining table from time to time, and said, "How much longer?"

"I can't estimate it." Zhou Sheng said, "The timing of the dream is random, but it will be easy to find someone."

Yu Hao said, "Do you want to tell brother?"

Zhou Sheng said: "It's not important, he is struggling right now."

Yu Hao: "What are you struggling with?" Immediately, he suddenly realized that Fu Liqun himself was also in a state of confusion, and his will might be about to give in.

Chen Yekai said to Fu Liqun, "You have to think clearly, Liqun."

With confusion in his eyes, Fu Liqun said to himself: "No more, I failed, I must admit defeat..."

Chen Yekai said, "It was you who sent the distress signal."

Fu Liqun nodded and said, "Yes."

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng stared at Fu Liqun, and Yu Hao found that this dream seemed to be significantly different from the dreams he had entered before - as the master of the dream, Fu Liqun himself was also very confused.

Maybe it was Zhou Sheng who fed him water instead of Cen Shan.In Cen Shan's words, maybe Fu Liqun would wake up soon.

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng looked at each other, as if they both thought of this question.

At the same time, Chen Yekai was trying to persuade Fu Liqun to become more sober in his dream, but Fu Liqun's thinking was still a little confused.

After a while, Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, "Let me use the clothes fork."

Yu Hao: "???"

Yu Hao put the two daggers together and turned them into a clothes fork. The strange thing was that the scalpel appeared out of thin air again and fell out of nowhere.Zhou Sheng took the clothes fork and passed by in a gust of wind. Chen Yekai was still trying to wake Fu Liqun up, but Zhou Sheng didn't want to wait any longer and picked up the clothes fork.

"You idiot!" Zhou Sheng roared angrily.

After finishing speaking, he swiped at Fu Liqun with a fork!

Yu Hao: "!!!"

Yu Hao hurriedly stood up, and Chen Yekai stood up immediately, dodging the whirlwind attack.Fu Liqun was whipped and screamed, got up and fled, Zhou Sheng held the clothes fork, Fu Liqun shouted: "Stop hitting! Master! Stop hitting!"

"I'll let you torment!" Zhou Sheng chased Fu Liqun, making the clothespin twitch its back and legs, and Fu Liqun shouted again: "Stop beating! I'm sorry for you!" Fu Liqun turned around and begged for mercy. A fork hit him sideways, and Fu Liqun fell to the ground immediately, knocking over the TV in the room.

Chen Yekai: "Be careful not to wake him up!"

Fu Liqun couldn't help panting, suddenly realized something, and murmured: "Master?"

Zhou Sheng put away the clothes fork, handed it to Yu Hao, sat down at the dining table, and said to Fu Liqun, "Is MLM fun? I think it's very fun! I came all the way to rescue you, can you be more confident?"

Fu Liqun said: "Is this not a dream?"

Fu Liqun's expression made him doubt his life. Yu Hao saw Zhou Sheng's mastery for the second time, and he couldn't help remembering that they were still arguing before they set off, who knew Fu Liqun better.

Now he was convinced that Zhou Sheng was the one who knew Fu Liqun best.

"Wait." Fu Liqun said, "I'm dreaming, how could you... come into my dream?"

Chen Yekai said, "Let me explain."

Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao looked at each other again, with a smile in their eyes.Chen Yekai explained to Fu Liqun that Fu Liqun's eyes were full of confusion for the second time, and he looked at Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao at the dining table from time to time.

"Are you convinced?" Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao.

"Submit." Yu Hao was completely convinced by Zhou Sheng's divine manipulation.

"Impossible." Fu Liqun said frantically, "This is impossible!"

"You tell us where you are now." Chen Yekai said, "We will know if it is possible."

"Hurry up." Zhou Sheng said, "I'm still waiting to go back to celebrate the New Year! What are you talking about?!"

Yu Hao said: "That's right, go home for the New Year, brother."

Fu Liqun scratched his head and said, "But I don't know where I am."

Zhou Sheng almost fell off his chair, Chen Yekai immediately asked, "What's the name of the company?"

"Langhui Biology." Fu Liqun said, "It's in the Economic Development Zone... Wait, is this true? I mean..."

He walked towards the dining table, stretched out his hand to pinch Yu Hao's face, Zhou Sheng said, "Hey! I don't know you well!"

Yu Hao said: "Pinch not mine, pinch your own!"

Fu Liqun stretched out his hand to pinch his own face, and pinched Zhou Sheng's nose.

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Chen Yekai came over and sat down. The four of them sat at the dining table. Fu Liqun said, "So you... always lie down. Is this the reason?"

Zhou Sheng said: "We never lie down when we have nothing to do, it is you who always lie down."

Yu Hao: "..."

Chen Yekai said: "Tell me about the process, reminisce about the past when we meet again, establish a group, hurry up."

Fu Liqun looked suspiciously at Zhou Sheng, then at Yu Hao, Yu Hao said, "Just treat it as if you were talking in a dream, it's not a big deal, is it?"

Fu Liqun nodded and said, "I remember that I did call you."

"Twice." Yu Hao said, "We have already received your message."

Fu Liqun added: "At first I didn't think it was a pyramid scheme, and I thought that Yangming would never lie to me..."

"When I catch him, I'll make him eat shit." Zhou Sheng said, "Really eat it, just wait and see."

Fu Liqun hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for him..."

"Stop talking about nothing!" Yu Hao roared angrily, "Say it quickly! It's dawn!"

Compared to Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai, Fu Liqun is obviously more afraid of Yu Hao getting angry, Yu Hao almost never loses his temper, because of this, getting angry is especially deterrent.He then began to recall his series of experiences from closing the gym to arriving in Southland—it was exactly as they guessed.In the second half of December last year, after the two partners had left, Li Yangming, who had originally come to work in Nanlu, returned to Ying City to accompany Fu Liqun, who was already on the street, to settle accounts.

It was said that it was a liquidation, but there was not much to settle. Fu Liqun hung up the gym, and someone came to talk about taking it over. It took about ten days.After the end, Li Yangming left first, and Fu Liqun packed his things. On New Year's Eve, he stayed in the gym for the last few hours to finish watching the New Year's Eve party.On New Year's Day, I went south to meet Li Yangming.

Li Yangming arranged for him to stay in a hotel, and everything would be reimbursed by the company. Fu Liqun was a little uneasy, and took him to participate in the team building of colleagues in the company the next day, and went out to sea by boat. The boss began to brainwash them and give lectures on the boat.

If he hadn't failed in his first venture, Fu Liqun might have discovered that it was a pyramid scheme soon, but at that time he was at the bottom of his life, his three views were all destroyed and rebuilt, and he was being tortured and questioned from his heart every day. When the boss built his self-confidence, it was like grasping a life-saving straw.

"They're all like this." Yu Hao said, "When we first met, they helped you build up your self-confidence, and they flattered you indiscriminately."

Fu Liqun nodded and said: "I was hit so hard, the boss even asked me to speak, and asked me about the whole process of my failure in starting a business, and my colleagues in the team helped me analyze it. What is the reason why I didn't do it well..."

Zhou Sheng just looked at Fu Liqun quietly.

Fu Liqun sighed, and said: "Maybe for a long time, I haven't built real self-confidence. When it comes to love, Shanshan is too good, and I am too far behind her; when it comes to friends, it goes without saying that Kaikai , you two are so radiant...Although it is shameless to say that, deep down in my heart, I have always longed for others to praise me, say that I am good, and tell me that I can do well."

Zhou Sheng made an unprecedented comment on Fu Liqun's feelings.

"The way you get along is wrong." Zhou Sheng said, "A healthy relationship is between lovers who admire each other and can discover and help each other to develop their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses."

Yu Hao said, "You can't blame sister-in-law..."

Zhou Sheng: "I don't blame my sister-in-law. It's just that you don't always find the responsibility on yourself. Some people always like to push the responsibility for their failures to the external environment, and some people like to blame the reasons for their failures on themselves. It’s not okay to plant too much.”

Yu Hao said: "Yes, communication is for both parties, but there are some things that you have to think about first, especially when it comes to work and career."

"Then you said the gym wasn't open," Zhou Sheng said, "Is it because he didn't think clearly?"

Yu Hao said, "That's not what I meant!"

Fu Liqun hurriedly said: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, I believe you are not dreaming now." He continued: "I was really touched at that time..."

On the day when Fu Liqun joined the team building with everyone on the boat, he really felt touched for a long time. Many words of the boss and his colleagues could be said in his heart, including many people's self-confidence almost collapsed before entering this company. Finally, with the help of each other, it was slowly re-established.

Chicken soup is like this, it can make people escape the pain of reality and create an illusion.Fu Liqun's will, which was depressed due to the failure of his business, was re-established in front of the bright future described by his boss and colleagues. He understood that failure is not shameful, and he was ready to regain his strength and devote himself to work.

But after signing the contract and reporting to work, he started a three-month training, and he began to realize that something was wrong.This company will always use anti-intellectual remarks to incite employees. Wolf culture and the like are considered trivial. All kinds of storytelling and brainwashing. Indeed, many high-level executives have also made money by developing downlines layer by layer. The car came to work.
