Chapter 13: Enter the City of Dreams
Ye Tingbai sat behind Li Xiaoxiao, this hand was embarrassing, there was a big iron can behind her before, and this hugging was also said in the past, but now it is not right to think about hugging people's waists.
Ye Tingbai: "By the way, what about Johnson?" ”
Li Xiaoxiao: "I'm working as a coolie for Grandpa Xie." ”
Ye Tingbai snorted and didn't know what to say, the two of them were so embarrassed all the way, and after getting out of the car, Li Xiaoxiao said a good night's sleep and turned his head and left.
Ye Tingbai looked up and saw that the light in his house was still on, and he walked home while strolling, and it was strange that the deputy personality took the initiative to speak today.
"You seem to be panicking?"
Ye Tingbai didn't know how to answer, he was very emotionally complicated now, emotionally he wanted to talk to his mother about the bad things he had encountered these days, but reason told him that he couldn't say it.
In any way, these things are not suitable to talk to Chen Lan, and is this woman real?
Ye Tingbai: "There are some of them." ”
"I can sense that you want to talk to that woman, why should you resist yourself?"
Ye Tingbai laughed self-deprecatingly, even the deputy personality was better than himself, so what was he struggling with, Ye Tingbai bought a set of futons downstairs and went upstairs, and when he opened the door, he saw Chen Lan sitting at the dining table, stunned by the meal that had cooled.
"Mom, what are you doing, why don't you watch TV?"
Chen Lan woke up suddenly, and quickly walked in front of Ye Tingbai to take the quilt.
"I can't fix that thing, you're too late from work today, I'll give you a hot meal."
Looking at the busy woman, Ye Tingbai felt inexplicably a lot more steady, the house was cleaned up, and all the dirty clothes were washed.
Chen Lan returned to the table after finishing the dishes, and she stared at Ye Tingbai's face.
"Son, you seem to have changed a lot."
"Where has changed?"
Chen Lan: "I am more assertive than before, and I have the confidence to speak." ”
Ye Tingbai smiled, confidence is directly related to people's strength, Ye Tingbai's strength is growing now, and his vision and knowledge have improved to a considerable extent, it would be strange if there was no change.
Chen Lan: "I seem to have forgotten something, I didn't remember how I came here after thinking about it for a long time during the day, and your father didn't have anything to eat at home." ”
Ye Tingbai: "You, I had a car accident before, and I just took you into the city for treatment, and now it's December, and you have been in a coma for a month, and I guess I have forgotten a lot of things." ”
Chen Lan's frowning brows suddenly relaxed.
"That's the case, no wonder I can't remember anything, I don't feel like a problem now, when can you send me back."
Ye Tingbai could only smile bitterly, now the home in his memory was already the shelter of Yi Demon, and he couldn't enter it at all now.
After eating, Ye Tingbai and Chen Lan sat on the sofa and chatted for a long time, most of them were Ye Tingbai making up some beautiful life experiences like Chen Lan, although he knew that all this was fake, and even the woman in front of him could be fake, but he was very comfortable.
Chatting and chatting Ye Tingbai fell asleep, he slept very well this night, when he woke up in the morning, Chen Lan had already started making breakfast, Ye Tingbai ate casually and went out, today is the day when the dream city invited him.
When Ye Tingbai walked downstairs, he saw a particularly conspicuous black beetle parked at the entrance of the community, the driver was a tall and thin Caucasian with a delicate back, he beckoned to Ye Tingbai, and immediately ran down from the car.
He bowed slightly in front of Ye Tingbai.
"Hello, I'm a member of the staff of Dream City, are you still satisfied with the gift?"
Ye Tingbai: "You call her a gift?" ”
The man immediately apologized: "It was my mistake, I shouldn't have said that, Dream City cordially invites you to go, where any of your dreams can come true." ”
Ye Tingbai shook his head.
"I don't have any dreams, but I'm fine now."
The man was stunned, as if he hadn't expected this answer, and he continued to explain patiently.
"The City of Dreams opens every ten years, and one lucky winner is chosen to fulfill any of his dreams, and after the dreams are realized, you can choose to leave, or stay there and continue to live."
Ye Tingbai said impatiently: "I said, I don't have any dreams, let this opportunity be given to others." ”
The man pouted.
"If you give up this opportunity, she will disappear completely, and she will not be able to appear in this world in the future."
Ye Tingbai suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's neck and pinched him.
"What are you doing?"
The man was pinched by Ye Tingbai and had no power to resist, but he didn't struggle, as if he was bent on dying, Ye Tingbai helplessly put down his arm and got into the car by himself.
At least now he didn't want Chen Lan to disappear, and he also wanted to see what this so-called Dream City was.
After the car started and drove about a hundred meters, the scenery outside the window became blurred, and he himself did not feel any discomfort, after the surrounding scenery was clear, he had already arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.
A medieval-style mixed city, with red bricks and green tiles, courtyard houses, and small villas in European and American style, the streets are quite lively, and most of the things sold by these people are food, and the fruits look very fresh and delicious.
The man explained as he drove.
"The City of Dreams has a history of tens of thousands of years, and it is home to different humans from all eras with different living habits, so it is not surprising to see any gentlemen here."
Ye Tingbai muttered in a low voice.
"Ten thousand years?"
"According to your understanding, sir, the appearance of the City of Dreams has probably started in the Second Age, and this is the place where everyone dreams, and you will not regret it."
Passing through the bustling town, the Beetle arrives at a castle in the center of the city, about four or five stories high, covering an area about the size of a football field, surrounded by a moat, where modern technology is particularly rare.
Under the leadership of the staff, Ye Tingbai was brought into the hall, and when he entered the door, he was attracted by four other people dressed similarly to him, with confused eyes and breath, they were definitely not local residents here.
"A few of you can chat first, and I'll go and ask the city lord to come over."
The four people, two men and two women, didn't see anything special, they were ordinary people, Ye Tingbai also took the initiative to communicate with them, these people seemed to be very happy, so they answered Ye Tingbai's questions as well.
It seems that they have also been brainwashed by the so-called gifts.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the things that are not priced are the most expensive, so expensive that you may not be able to pay them back.
The previous occupations of these four people were police officers, unemployed otaku, pharmaceutical factory workers, and a researcher.
The male policeman is physically strong, his name is Fulang, he is a cheerful Caucasians, he is very enthusiastic about Ye Tingbai, and he took the initiative to tell him a lot of things.
