Yan Jin was shocked when he heard Yan Nian's words, his hand trembled slightly, and the water in the teacup in his hand instantly spilled out, flowing down the back of his hand to the table in front of him. Yan Jin shook off the water on his hand, then wiped the tea left on the back of his hand with his sleeve, laughed dryly, and said, "Ah Nian, when did you learn to joke, don't lie to me, how can I still be doing ......" Before he finished speaking, Yan Jin suddenly stopped, only to see his eyes wide, staring at his hand without blinking, the back of the hand that had just been sprinkled with tea was already red at this time, and even slightly swollen, it can be seen that the tea in the cup just now must be very hot, but at this time he didn't feel any pain at all, as if the hand in front of him was not his own, and the water was only sprinkled on someone else's hand.

Yan Jin panicked all of a sudden, he looked around, and suddenly raised his hand and pinched his face, Xu was a little anxious, the strength of his hand couldn't help but be greater, and the place on his cheek where he pinched instantly turned red, but he still didn't feel any pain at all.

"Childe ......" Yan Nian looked at Yan Jin's appearance, a little distressed and worried.

"Ah Nian, what the hell is this...... What the hell is going on? Why am I still in a dream, when I woke up just now? ”

Yan Nian said, "Childe, I don't know the specifics, I only know that all of us are still in a dream now, and all of this is just a dream." ”

"What do you mean......" Yan Jin glanced around and said in disbelief, "You mean that these people are indeed the real people in this Autumn Water City, and they are all in my dreams now." ”

Yan Nian said, "They are indeed in a dream, but not in your dream, but in their own dream. ”

Yan Jin listened to the noisy voices on the street, the people here are as usual, sunrise and sunset, three meals a day, all year round, no matter how you look at it, you can see the slightest abnormality, "That...... Do they themselves know that they are in a dream now? ”

"The life trajectory of these people in the dream is exactly the same as their usual life, so they don't know, it's just ......", looking at Yan Jin's frowning brows, Yan Nian paused, but quickly continued, "It's just that although they are all in a dream, the level of entering the dream is different." ”

Now that everything is clear, Yan Jin muttered, "It turns out that everything here is just a patchwork of each of us's dreams, we live our usual life in our dreams, and no one knows that it is just a dream. Although they are all in dreams, everyone enters the dream at a different level, and no matter which level of the dream they are in, their lives are very comfortable. But if we don't wake up from our dreams quickly, then we will all be trapped in our dreams and eventually die slowly. Yan Jin's last sentence was his own guess, because he didn't think it would be a good thing that they had been trapped in a dream.

Yan Nian nodded and said, "Childe, there is indeed something strange here, if you continue to sleep without eating or drinking like this, these people in reality should die soon." ”

At this time, Yan Jin suddenly remembered the scene in Fang Cai's dream, and hurriedly said, "The stars are ......, Ah Nian, I met the stars in the dream just now, they must have also come to this Qiushui City, and then accidentally fell into the dream." I just woke up from a dream, which means that they are still in the previous dream, and they must not know what is happening now, no, I am going back to find them. With that, Yan Jin got up and was about to go out, and halfway through, he suddenly stopped, because he found that he didn't know how to find the night stars and them at all, did he want him to lie down and sleep and dream immediately?

Yan Nian followed behind Yan Jin, grabbed him, and said, "Childe, Yegongzi, they shouldn't be in any danger for the time being, our top priority is to find a way to make everyone wake up from their dreams as soon as possible." ”

"The way to wake up, the way to wake up, the way to wake up......" Yan Jin kept repeating this sentence in his mouth as he walked out, and his mind was quickly thinking of a way.

Suddenly, Yan Jin remembered how he woke up in a dream just now, the first time he was almost kicked by a horse, and the second time he was almost hacked to death with a knife, "By the way, you must be very frightened, or you must die in a dream, so that you will wake up, and this is how it is played in movies." ”

Yan Jin decided that he had found a way, he looked around, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and crashed into a carriage speeding down the street.

Yan Nianyan quickly grabbed him, then pulled him aside, and said anxiously, "Childe, what are you going to do?" ”

"Ah Nian, don't pull me, that's how I woke up just now!" Yan Jin watched as the carriage passed by them, and the old wooden wheels made a "squeak, squeak......" sound.

"Childe, it's too dangerous for you to do this, in case... In case of an accident......" At this time, Yan Nian's face was pale, and his eyes were already wet, he was especially afraid that Yan Jin would leave him again, and he didn't know how many years he would have to wait alone this time.

At this time, Yan Jin realized that his actions just now might have frightened Yan Nian, touched his head, and was about to open his mouth to comfort.

At this time, the curtain behind the carriage that had just passed in front of them was lifted from the inside, and a small head poked out of the window, still wearing a cute tiger head hat on its head, and its black eyes were rolling in its sockets, and the five finger prints on one side of the red face were already swollen high, and he seemed to see Yan Jin at this time, and grinned.

Yan Jin saw that although the slap marks on the child's face had not faded, he was finally safe and sound, which was already very good, and his heart finally relaxed.

But then, Yan Jin finally found the place where he had always felt something was wrong in his heart, he frowned, his heart rolled like a stormy wave, a terrible thought lingered in his mind no matter what, he pulled the words beside him, pointed to the carriage, and said hurriedly, "Ah Nian, keep up, that kid is weird." The child in front of him is the only one who has been appearing in every layer of Yan Jin's dreams, and from the very beginning of the dream when Yan Jin saw him eating pig's trotters to the greasy smell of pig's trotters on his face and hands in the previous dream, and then to now he has the slap prints he received when Yan Jin had a dream on the previous layer, which shows that although this child exists in different levels of dreams, it is not as chaotic as Yan Jin, but they are all connected, that is to say, he is not controlled by this dream.

The two chased all the way, and they were about to catch up, but after turning a street corner, the carriage suddenly disappeared, Yan Jin looked around carefully, and the carriage did disappear out of thin air.

Yan Jin said, "Ah Nian, I suspect that everything that happened here is related to that child, and to solve the problem, we must find a way to find that child." ”

Yan Nian also noticed just now, although the child's appearance is no different from ordinary people, but Yan Nian does not see a soul in his body, let alone life, he gives people a very ethereal feeling, this child is more like originally existed in this illusory dream, maybe his existence itself is a dream.

"Ah Nian, let's go separately, you go over there, I'll go over there." Yan Jin pointed to a fork in the road in front of him and made a division of labor.

Yan Nian was not at ease, and hesitated, "Childe, I ......"

Yan Jin didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then interrupted, "Ah Nian, it's okay, you can rest assured, I have a sense of proportion." After speaking, he patted Yan Nian's shoulder and took the lead in walking towards one of the roads.

Yan Jin walked all the way, seeing that the shops and pedestrians on both sides of the road were gradually becoming scarce, but she still didn't see the carriage and the child just now. And at this time, Yan Jin also noticed that at some point, the sky had become gloomy, and there was a fog all around, everything around, if you looked closely, he could only see a rough shadow, and it was not until this time that Yan Jin finally had a sense of unreality in a dream.

At this time, Yan Jin saw that a little light not far in front of him was gradually approaching him, and this light flickered regularly and seemed to rise and fall with someone's movement. Slowly, a small figure gradually became clear in front of Yan Jin's eyes, goose-yellow clothes, cute tiger head hat, it was the child he had been looking for, Yan Jin found that the bright light was coming from this child.

I don't know what the child is wearing on his chest, although through his clothes, it still reveals a bright white light, and the sky is gloomy, and it is very eye-catching in the darkness.

When the child approached, Yan Jin asked, "Little doll, who are you?" ”

The child stared at Yan Jin carefully for a long time, and replied childishly, "I don't know, A-Niang used to call me Xiaobao. ”

"Xiaobao, where is your aunt? Where is she? Yan Jin continued to ask following the child's words.

At the mention of A-Niang, the child suddenly became very aggrieved, looking like he was about to cry, and said, "A-Niang? A-Niang used to come to play with Xiaobao, but, I don't know why, A-Niang hasn't been here for a long time, and I don't know where she is. ”

The more the child talked, the more sad he became, making people feel that he would cry "wow" in the next second, Yan Jin was a little overwhelmed, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "Xiaobao, did you do everything here?" ”

The child sniffled, nodded, and replied disappreciatively, "Yes! ”

Looking at the innocent child in front of him, he didn't seem to know that there was anything wrong with everything he was doing, Yan Jin said earnestly, "Xiaobao, why are you trapping everyone in a dream? You will do so... Will ......" Yan Jin hesitated for a long time, he still couldn't tell a six or seven-year-old child the fact that he would kill people like this.
