catch the dream

"Long Sheng? Are you there? Is this your home?" Yu Hao looked around, the room was empty.

"Yes, this is our home in Manhattan." Nakagawa Ryusheng's voice said, "It's also the 'afterlife' that Nikcy promised."

After finishing speaking, Long Sheng walked over from the living room.

Yu Hao immediately got off the bed, and said in surprise, "Long Sheng, you can talk? Why didn't you speak just now?"

Long Sheng nodded a bit restrained, and said: "I can't speak when I leave here. I can only speak when I'm at home. I know you are Yu Hao. Shall I... make you a cup of coffee? Please sit down. "

Yu Hao only felt that all this completely and thoroughly carried out the rules of dreams, it was too unreal, one moment he was still in Chichen Itza, and the next moment he had traveled to Chen Yekai's home in New York.

Yu Hao looked at the ceiling, there was no crack in the ceiling, how could he get out?

"I don't have any friends." Long Sheng said, "You are welcome to be our guest."

Long Sheng's Chinese seemed a bit strange. Yu Hao noticed that he was wearing a black Japanese high school uniform with his white shirt inside. UCC instant coffee.

"Did you buy the house?" Yu Hao's attention was distracted, "The house in Manhattan, Mr. Chen is really rich."

"Yes." Long Sheng simply replied.

"Why would I care about this?" Yu Hao couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "I'm sorry I'm so vulgar."

Long Sheng and Chen Yekai's house didn't have a door, Yu Hao tried to open the curtains that were illuminated by the sun, and there was a wall behind him, that is to say, he couldn't leave here through conventional means.

Long Sheng was carrying a wooden tray, on which were coffee, sugar, milk, and a small Napoleon cake. Yu Hao took a sip, the coffee was very fragrant.

"Nikcy likes it." Long Sheng said with a flat expression, "I hope you like it too. I only have this dessert at home. I brought it to Nikcy, but he hasn't eaten it."

"Thank you." Yu Hao said, "I like it very much."

The two were sitting at the dining table. Yu Hao wanted to say something, but he was more thinking about how to get out, whether Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai had arrived at the mouth of the well in Chichen Itza, and what would happen next. Thinking of what happened before the fall, the dark dragon at the mouth of the well had been indirectly shot dead by the bright dragon. Maybe they were also looking for themselves when they arrived?

Yu Hao was full of thoughts, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment. The two just looked at the tablecloth. For some reason, Yu Hao always felt that when getting along with this Long Sheng, there was a kind of peaceful understanding between the two of them without saying much.

At the end, Long Sheng spoke suddenly.

Long Sheng: "When we were together with Nikcy before, we could sit quietly like this for a whole day. He just sat in your place and read a book."

"What about you?" Yu Hao asked.

"I'll see him." Long Sheng replied.

His hair is a bit long, but his eyes are bright, as if as long as he is around, the whole world will be quiet.

"Are you here to save him?" Long Sheng said.

Yu Hao and Long Sheng looked at each other, and put down their cups in unison.

Yu Hao nodded, and asked suspiciously: "What exactly does your existence represent? Is this a safe haven?"

That sentence was asked by Yu Hao to himself, and he didn't expect to get an answer. In fact, he tried to chat with the NPC in his dream, but the answers he got were always specious.

But Long Sheng asked back: "What do you think?"

In an instant, a thought flashed through Yu Hao's mind: "Are you his totem?"

Zhongchuan Longsheng: "Yes."

Yu Hao: "!!!"

Yu Hao's first thought was that if Zhou Sheng was here, he might yell "Totem has become a spirit, my mother!" Not very impressed.

At that time, he said: "It is possible that the totem is in the well, or the dragon is the totem." As a result, both of them may be right!It was a prophecy of God!

"But..." Yu Hao said, "Outside the well, who is that you who attacked us?"

"Let's start from the beginning." Long Sheng said, "I should have left a long time ago, but Nicky has been reluctant to part with me all this time, locked me in the hotel and refused to let me leave."

"Where are you going?" Yu Hao frowned, thinking that this world is all in Chen Yekai's heart, so where can Long Sheng go?

"Come here." Long Sheng pointed at the dining table, "This is the afterlife we ​​agreed upon, but he refused."

"He said that he would often come to see me in the hotel, and I will live in the hotel like this until the day when this dress disappears from my body." He said as he opened the jacket of the student's suit, letting Yu Hao look at the white dress inside him. shirt, said, "I think maybe it's time, so I decided to come out to find him, and come to my inevitable destination."

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao remembered that he had borrowed Chen Yekai's white shirt the night before the academy's celebration performance, and suddenly felt guilty.

"I understand." Yu Hao murmured, "So it's because of me."

outside the well.

After the Dark Dragon was resurrected, a thick dark fog swept across the entire courtyard of Chichen Itza, and Chen Yekai could no longer see anything else.Zhou Sheng looked at everything here vigilantly, especially the nearly five-meter-high Feathered Serpent sculpture, beware of it coming alive at any time.

"Nikcy." Darkness Longsheng spoke in the crazily rolling darkness, "Are you guilty?"

Chen Yekai choked up and said, "I'm sorry, Long Sheng, I'm sorry...this is what I've always wanted to say."

"This is not your real confession." Dark Longsheng yelled almost crazily, "To this day, are you still unwilling to face me?!"

"...Your arrogance and pride have ruined yourself." Long Sheng's voice was low, like a devil conceived from the darkness, "You stand on the commanding heights of this relationship, thinking you love me, It's a reward for me! It's your sympathy for me!"

Chen Yekai's expression suddenly became peaceful, and he held back his tears: "Yes, Long Sheng, I already understand."

There was a trace of surprise in the dark dragon's voice: "What do you understand?"

Chen Yekai: "I understand your love for me."

The dense fog that had shrouded the courtyard before gradually dispersed, and the figures of Chen Yekai and Dark Longsheng appeared. Zhou Sheng thought to himself, well done!Long Sheng's dark power seemed to be gradually receding in front of Chen Yekai, gathering into the area near the mouth of the well.

Chen Yekai: "I also understand what you said to me every day we were together."

Dark Longsheng walked slowly towards Chen Yekai, and looked at him across the well.

"I understand your anxiety." Chen Yekai said, "Your eyes that hesitate to speak, and your fear of losing me, but you don't understand! I love you the same! Longsheng!"

Chen Yekai almost yelled out at the end, causing Darkness Longsheng to take a step back.

Chen Yekai said sadly: "I am also learning how to love someone! Learning how to get along with you! I don't know how to manage our marriage. I don't know how to give you what you want. I want to be with you I want to get married and want to spend my whole life with you! I know that I have too many choices in my life, but you only have me."

Having said that, Chen Yekai let out a long sigh, and the sound of water came from all directions, and Zhou Sheng immediately turned his head to look.Drops of water began to drip from the ceiling, seeping into the room, suppressed in his heart for four years, pooling into tears of Iguazu Falls.

in the hotel.

Tears oozed from the corners of Chen Yekai's eyes, slid down the side of his face, and soaked on the pillow.

Yu Hao tilted his head subconsciously, while Zhou Sheng raised his arm in his sleep, letting Yu Hao rest on his shoulder.

Bottom of the well: afterlife.

"No." Long Sheng said seriously, "Please don't blame yourself, I just want him to live a happy life. My original intention of doing this was not to punish him, but to hope that he would no longer face so many choices, go Accept the pain of choice."

"But, everything can be done again." Yu Hao said seriously, "The only thing he can't bear is losing you."

Speaking of this, Yu Hao suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the person in front of him was not the Longsheng in Chen Yekai's consciousness, but the soul of the real Longsheng who traveled through time and space.

Ryusheng Nakagawa got up, walked to the record player, played a song, and the music started, it was "Perfect" sung by ED and Beyoncé.

"Cause we were just kids when we fell in love."

"Not knowing what it was—"

"Everyone thinks that death may be very painful." Long Sheng said calmly, "But for patients with depression, death is a kind of relief. Why can't it be regarded as a predestined parting? We have spent together The best of times, and I'm sick, a genetic incurable disease, and it's better to be tortured in my last days..."

Yu Hao began to understand Long Sheng's last thoughts a little bit.

"It's better to cherish every day, every minute, every second when we are still together." Yu Hao said softly.

"Yes." Long Sheng said, "This is indeed the case for me. I know very well that my disease is inherited from my family, and I am destined to be incurable. I have no regrets when I was with him ……Thinking about it this way, do you understand it?”

Yu Hao remembered that in the chapter about cognitive behavioral therapy in the professional class, he mentioned that the cause of depression is not completely clear, but at least for now, it has a very complicated relationship with genetics, endocrine, nerve function and regeneration, and more Multiple chromosomes are clearly linked to major depressive disorder.

According to unofficial surveys, depression has reached nearly 3% in China. This is not a mental illness that can be solved by letting patients "think about it".Once diagnosed, medication must be taken on time. For patients with severe depression, even if they recover temporarily, the recurrence rate after recovery is as high as 60%, and many patients need to take medication for life.

However, in China, depression is still on the surface of a mental disorder, and little attention has been paid to it.

"In the civilization of the Mayans, death is not the end, but the beginning of a new journey. Life is gorgeous but short, just like a flower. It will bloom again after it withers. We keep going back and forth in the cycle of reincarnation, and we can meet again eventually. That's not a farewell...let's talk about it." Long Sheng explained amidst the flowing music, "So, I went back to Chichen Itza and walked towards the well."

Yu Hao said: "He locked you in his heart in the hotel, maybe it's because he doesn't want you to leave, he doesn't want to let go, he doesn't want to let go, and he doesn't want you to go to reincarnation just now."

Zhongchuan Longsheng stared at Yu Hao, and replied very lightly: "Yes, you are right."

Yu Hao suddenly figured out a series of causes and consequences in Chen Yekai's conscious world. Long Sheng, who died and remained in his heart, hoped to go to Chichen Itza, to the so-called "afterlife" to wait for Chen Yekai, but Chen Yekai still could not accept it. Longsheng left.

So in his dream, Longsheng, as a totem, always stayed in the hotel where "the beginning is the end".

"Just when I was hoping to go to the next life, I met Teacher Lin at the mouth of the well in Chichen Itza." Long Sheng said, "He polluted me and separated me in two, taking away part of me, those dark I don't want this matter to end like this, so I ask for your help, Yu Hao."

"He is excellent." Long Sheng said, "but I think, I am just a short-lived passer-by in his life. What he gave me in this life, to be precise, is not love, but sympathy. Teacher Lin The half that was taken away is my only obsession with Nikcy in this relationship."

Yu Hao: "No, that's not the case, Long Sheng."

Zhongchuan Longsheng raised his eyes and looked at Yu Hao, who showed a sad smile.

"Your existence is the proof of his love for you." Yu Hao said with expectant eyes, "I believe that in his previous world, the totem was not what you looked like. Since you came, you have become His only totem."

There was a little surprise in Zhongchuan Longsheng's eyes, and Yu Hao said again: "Everyone's totem means his meaning, his persistence, and the self he hopes to become. Longsheng, come back with me. Go back to him, only you can do it, you can give him the courage to come back to the sun."

"I remember, you wrote him a letter."

Long Sheng: "I remember it too. However, I think he also gave you one thing before. It is necessary to defeat Mr. Lin."

Yu Hao's heart shuddered: "What is it?"

Long Sheng shook his head slowly.

outside the well.

"They told me that everyone has a totem in their hearts, which is the symbol I care most about. If I get it back, I can become myself..." Chen Yekai said word by word, "Longsheng, I think, if The totem really exists in my heart, so... it should look like you."

Dark Longsheng stood there in a daze, unable to answer for a moment.

Chen Yekai: "I ruined you and myself, but I am sure that I love you. Until now, I am absolutely convinced of this. Until today, four years later, I still remember the most beautiful thing in our life. I don’t want you to leave just like that.”

"It seems that as long as you don't open that letter and say goodbye to you, we will never be separated, whether it is this life or the next life."

"Liar...you liar..." Dark Dragon trembled, "I'm going to kill you!"

Zhou Sheng said suddenly: "Longsheng! You left a letter for Nikcy, didn't you?! What did you say in the letter? Have you forgiven him, or do you want him to die with you?"

In an instant, the central area fell silent. Dark Longsheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Chen Yekai, unable to answer for a while.

Chen Yekai said slowly: "Long Sheng, in the past, even if you hurt yourself, you would never let me suffer any pain... Long Sheng?" Suddenly, Chen Yekai seemed to realize something, and said in a trembling voice: "Is that what you really think? Why..."

"Long Sheng!" Chen Yekai suddenly said, "This is not you! Who confused you?!"

Under these words, the dark dragon uttered a painful cry, and Chen Yekai's cognition seemed to have a strong impact, causing the black smoke all over his body to fly backwards, revealing his hideous eyes.

Chen Yekai: "..."

Zhou Sheng: "That's not him! Kaikai! That's a disguise! Shoot!"

The dark dragon roared wildly and rushed towards Chen Yekai. Before Zhou Sheng could get out the golden cudgel, Chen Yekai suddenly drew his gun. After a short hesitation, Longsheng's face changed strangely. Hesitating, pointed the gun at "Longsheng" and pulled the trigger!

A gunshot caused severe pain in Zhou Sheng's eardrums. The bullet left the muzzle, spun, and flew towards Longsheng with a whistling sound. However, the sculpture of the Feathered Serpent God instantly moved, and flew past Longsheng's body, blocking the shot. !

The Feathered Serpent flew away, and Lin Xun appeared behind him.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Hahaha……"

Lin Xun laughed ferociously, and said coldly: "Nikcy, it seems...you have finally decided to abandon Longsheng! It's worth my effort to separate you two."

Zhou Sheng instantly realized a serious problem: "No way, the boss is you?!"

In an instant, the walls of the entire patio area collapsed, the iron netting above the head spread out, and a huge platform rose up.Under the dark sky, Chichen Itza disintegrates!The hurricane swept countless boulders and tiles, and swept away in all directions. This huge pyramid disintegrated layer by layer, only the platform rose to the sky.

The sky is cloudy, thunder and lightning are everywhere, and the conscious world has turned into a sea of ​​flames. As Lin Xun roared, black fire burst out from his body, the grand platform rose to a high place, and the bricks and tiles fell, leaving only Chichen Itza in front of the well. The ground of the throne extended into a square of nearly [-] square meters. Lin Xun turned around and sat on the throne. The sculpture of Feathered Serpent God behind him was revived and began to wander.

Chen Yekai's voice was hoarse: "Teacher, why... did you do this! Why—!"

Lin Xun said coldly: "There is nothing wrong with listening to the teacher. Why do you have to entangle so much with a depressed boy? I have worked hard and used so many methods to let Longsheng leave you. A bright future awaits You, you will become a better person than you imagined, Nicky. Don't take my kindness as wind on your ears..."

"You have kept this secret for four years!" Chen Yekai was filled with grief and indignation for a moment, holding guns in both hands, pointed at Lin Xun, and shouted, "I should have killed you a long time ago!"

Lin Xun said coldly: "The cause of his death has long been planted. Even if I am good at psychological intervention, it is impossible to persuade him to commit suicide. If you did not ignore him, how could Longsheng die?"

Under the dark sky, the entire conscious world has turned into a sea of ​​flames, flames are everywhere on the ground, ashes are transpiring, rising to the sky, the dark sky is shaking with thunder and lightning, and the Feathered Serpent God is rushing forward. At that moment, a dodge, holding a shield in front of Chen Yekai!

The shield expanded in an instant, and collided with the Feathered Serpent with a sound of "Dang", and the Feathered Serpent made a sound of gold and iron, soared into the air and fanned the wind.
