Chapter 258: After Awakening
"I actually use honorifics appropriately, and I really implement the principle of service first everywhere...... It turns out that hell is also a service industry? β
After complaining about the Japanese on the display screen, Tang Juyi looked down at Chizuki, who was still unconscious, and planned to wake up the big brother first.
But as soon as his eyes swept away, the thousand orange wood that had been lying beside Tang Juyi disappeared, leaving Tang Juyi alone in the same place.
"What's the situation? I only took my eyes off for a few seconds......"
A chill surged up his back, and before Tang Juyi could think about it carefully, he heard a familiar call:
"Wake up ......"
"It's time to wake up......"
Immediately after the sound became clearer, the surrounding environment quickly dimmed and began to be enveloped by a strange drowsiness.
Tang Juyi stood on the ground in a daze, looking at the constant changes around him, and couldn't help but say:
"Wouldn't it? Is this the setting? β
The next moment, Tang Juyi's eyes "opened" again.
As he had realized a few seconds earlier, he had been asleep until the call came and he really woke up.
The person who woke up Tang Juyi was the thousand orange wood in front of him.
At this time, Qian Tangerine Mu was also sitting on the ground, holding Tang Juyi's collar, constantly shaking his body, until he saw Tang Juyi's eyes open, and then he breathed a sigh of relief:
"You're finally awake......"
Tang Juyi's vision was still a little blurry, and it took a while to get used to the environment in front of him, and he asked while rubbing his eyes:
"Even though it would seem like I'm mentally retarded to ask that, I still want to know - what just happened?"
Chitakari glanced at the elevator next to him, and seemed to be apprehensive:
"I don't know, I just woke up, just a few minutes before you...... By the time I was awake, we were already lying outside the elevator. β
Looking along the line of sight of the orange wood, what Tang Juyi saw was the floor marked on the elevator: 7
The surrounding scenery was exactly the same as in the dream just now, and there was almost no change, so it also surprised Tang Juyi even more.
At this time, thinking of what Qiantangamu had just said, Tang Juyi once again discovered the problem:
"You just woke up, too? Slow down...... I have to ask first, did you have a dream before you woke up? What is the content? β
Faced with this question, Chizuki shuddered:
"I did have a nightmare...... In the dream we got into this elevator, andβ"
"And then under the control of a woman in yellow who will suddenly turn into a plastic model, go on a thrilling hellish sightseeing performance?"
Tang Juyi said the next content, and showed a look of understanding:
"Got it, it looks like we're having the same dream...... No, that's not very appropriate, it's right to say that we are in the same dream. β
Qiantangmu, who had had this experience, immediately understood what Tang Juyi meant:
"You mean- we just experienced a dream connection?"
Tang Juyi stood up against the wall and patted the dust behind him:
"It seems so. According to my guess, this dream must have started as soon as we walked into the elevator, and it was not until I escaped from the elevator with you in the dream that the dream ended, and thus triggered our awakening. β
Qiantangmu was still sitting on the ground, and after listening to Tang Juyi's words, he looked a little confused:
"This ...... What does that mean? You escaped the elevator with me in your dream? But how did we get out? Isn't this reality? β
Tang Juyi took a deep breath and explained as patiently as possible:
"First of all, in the nightmare just now, you passed out very shamelessly, leaving me to deal with this mess, and then I found a way to survive with my amazing willpower and strong thinking ability, and put it into practice. It's disgusting that you've been lying on the ground like a dead dog all the time. β
As soon as Qiantangi Mu wanted to explain, Tang Juyi directly raised his hand to interrupt his words, and continued:
"Of course, none of the above matters, because I didn't expect anything from you, so I didn't think about you being reliable at such a critical moment from the beginning. The point is that after that, I dragged you out of the elevator space in the dream, that is, away from the main body of the dream, so we had a chance to wake up. β
Speaking of this, Tang Juyi stretched out his hand and pointed to the elevator door next to him, with a serious expression:
"As for why we left in reality...... This involves a terrible thing. β
Qian Tangerine was still recalling the previous process, and when he heard Tang Juyi's words at this time, he couldn't help asking:
"What's the matter?"
Tang Juyi pressed his index finger against his temple and lowered his voice:
"Dream invasion, dream invasion in another sense."
Seeing Qiantangu's expression, Tang Juyi knew that this brother couldn't understand what he meant, so he could only sigh and explain specifically:
"Unlike the previous dream invasions, this time the object of the invasion is not the brain, but the reality! From the moment we enter the elevator, this dream directly interferes with reality, enveloping us. In the process, dreams and reality are intertwined, so that what we experience in it is both present and non-existent...... So that's why we're outside the elevator. β
At this time, Tang Juyi's expression gradually became solemn:
"Remember the graffiti symbols on the walls of Taifang Prison? In that dream just now, I saw some identical characters, so I have reason to believe that the reason for this nightmare is inseparable from the existence behind the Taifang Prison disaster! β
With that, Chikan roughly understood:
"You mean, the dream invasion has become more complicated? Already a direct invasion of the real world? β
Tang Juyi nodded very heavily:
"I'm afraid that's exactly what happened. The previous indescribable existences could only control people's actions by invading spirits, but this time, they can directly invade the real world to manipulate us...... The hellish places you used to have had could think of as dreams, but they could also be seen as reality. β
Qiantangmu, who originally roughly understood the situation, was once again dazed by Tang Juyi:
"No, you say those places are both dreams and reality? What does this mean exactly? β
Tang Juyi organized his language a little, as if he was worried that an overly cumbersome description would seriously overload Chitangari's brain:
"To put it simply, there is something that creates a dream and allows us to enter into it. But that thing has reached an incomprehensible level, and the dreams it weaves are almost equivalent to reality. β
"So, this time it's not our spirit that's going through the dream, it's also our body."
After a pause, Tang Juyi's tone also became gloomy:
"To put it more simply, we just went around the gates of hell."
