Chapter XVII. Reality

I suddenly felt like I was lying on top of something, it was...... It's like waking up after a good night's sleep. The gentle pressure on my body and the feeling of softness all over my body told me: I was in bed. I didn't really just have a dream...... Isn't all this ridiculous?!

I felt my eyelids were heavy and I couldn't seem to open them. Since I can't open my eyes, I'll do it. My hands fumbled under the covers. Hey? What does my left hand look like? It seems to be a person. Then came my mother's voice! "Son! Are you awake?! Son! ”

"My son is awake?!" This is Dad's voice. I tried to open my mouth, but I still couldn't speak. I tried to open my eyes, and their eyelids didn't seem to be so heavy. I slowly opened my eyes, and I saw the faces of my father and mother.

"Oops, son, you're finally awake! You're scared your mom and dad to death. "Mom hugged me. That's when I saw my surroundings, and this was ...... Hospital?! What's wrong with me? Immediately, Yun Feiyu rushed in, huh? I couldn't help but have a huge question mark in my mind. followed closely by Ye Fenglan and Xia Mengyou.

"Dad, Mom. What's wrong with me? "I can finally speak.

"Don't ask, I'll go through the discharge procedures for you first, and then I'll go home." Dad got up and walked out the door.

"Auntie, you can go with your uncle, it just so happens that we can also talk to Liu Yaoxi." Yun Feiyu spoke. What to talk about? I can't really just be dreaming, am I?! But I have a hunch: this dream is not simple.

Mom's tears seemed to be coming out. wiped his eyes and said, "Okay, you can also talk to Yaoxi more." After speaking, he turned to me, "Mom will be back in a while, you can talk to your classmates for a while." Seeing my mother walk out, they suddenly gathered around.

I was about to ask, but Yun Feiyu spoke first: "Don't ask, I know what your question is, it must be the same as when we just woke up." Hear us out. I was stunned, then nodded sneeringly.

"As you can see, we did all have a dream. We have just woken up, and our parents are also going through the discharge procedures. It seems that you have talked a lot with your future self, and it took so long to wake up. Yes, we all see our future selves, and our dreams are all different, only the first level is the same. "Then the initial anomaly of the three of them can also be explained.

"We've all told us not to talk about it after we're done. I believe that you see your future self as you are, but their purpose is still not told to us. The three of us all communicated our dreams to each other before you woke up, so we've probably guessed what you've been through. The amount of information that Yun Feiyu said in one breath was really a bit large. I paused, then nodded slowly.

"We should be discharged in a minute." Ye Fenglan said.

"Then how are we in the hospital?" I asked the most basic question at hand.

"It seems that the four of us didn't wake up at the same time the night before yesterday, and we were immediately sent to the hospital." Xia Mengyou replied, "But there is no problem with checking a few times, I don't know ...... we sleep" Xia Mengyou paused again, "The reason for the coma." ”

"Oh, needless to say, we're going to do it in the future." I have a general understanding of this matter.

"Yes, and not only is this not over, but I think this is just the beginning." Yun Feiyu said in a mysterious whisper. I couldn't agree more.

"Discharge first. After that, in a few days, we will find a time to come out and get together and take a good look at the ins and outs of this matter. Not long after Ye Fenglan's words fell, the parents of the four of us ran in one after another. Then came the greetings of the routine. The four of us were taken back to our respective homes, after all, we had been in a coma for three or four days.

My dad drove the car, my mom sat in the passenger seat, and I sat in the back. For some reason, they didn't speak.

Finally, my mother spoke first: "Son, what's the matter with you, why did you suddenly ......" I quickly motioned her to stop: "Mom, I also want to know why." But...... Don't talk about it, okay. I don't want to discuss this anymore. "As we said in the future, we're going to have to keep it a secret. I pretended to be a little in pain.

"I agree with my son. Don't discuss it, forget about it. Dad said, glancing at me from the roof mirror.

Mom looked at Dad, her eyes full of puzzlement; He looked at me again, and his eyes were full of pity. I had to give up.

The next few days were predictably grounded. Every day, my friends still visit me one after another, and my mother must have told them that no one asked me why I was in a coma.

I've heard my parents push a group of reporters out in the bedroom, is it all so big? Not really, right? Well...... Thinking about it, it seems that you can understand the reason why they came to the door, and the four people who were alive suddenly didn't wake up, and they couldn't find out the reason anyway, it seems to be a thing worth reporting.

Through QQ, I found out that the original couple was not much better: under Yun Feiyu's arguments, his parents still did not agree with him to go out; Not to mention those two girls, don't think about it when you come out for a walk. It seems that if you want to come out and get together, you will have to wait. It's very messy and troublesome to chat on QQ, but it's more convenient to be face-to-face.

We've all been grounded for three days. The four of us also complain on QQ every day. Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, Yun Feiyu finally got the consent of his parents - he could go out; I also used the excuse that I had been staying at home for three days to get my parents' consent; Ye Fenglan's side was also very smooth, and she was able to come out.

Only Xia Mengyou is not good, we have also heard that Xia Mengyou's parents really raise her as a princess, but fortunately, Xia Mengyou is not a stupid daughter of a landlord's family. After deliberation, we decided to go to Xia Mengyou's house on the afternoon of the fourth day after we woke up, and since she couldn't come out, we had to go to her house.

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

I was the first to arrive, and in order to avoid embarrassment, I deliberately left late. Xia Mengyou wasn't surprised to see me, and she didn't show any strange emotions. Thinking about it again, it was in a dream, it was all under their control, and now she ...... Not sure yet.

"Come in."

"Hmm." I walked in the door and began to look around Xia Mengyou's home. Very ordinary home, just bigger. I sat down on the couch as I observed, and the moment I continued to do it, I was reminded of the future me sitting on the couch and talking face to face, reminiscing about ......

"Don't mind, it's a little small here." Xia Mengyou came over with a glass of water and put the paper cup on the coffee table in front of me.

"Thank you." I said politely, "You are also modest, this is still small?" I looked at the house and said. At least it's bigger than my house. I thought to myself.

After a while, Ye Fenglan also arrived. Xia Mengyou was very happy to see that Ye Fenglan was like an old friend she hadn't seen for a few years, and hugged her. I looked at them, took a sip of water, and didn't speak.

"Yo, Liu Yaoxi, it's early." Ye Fenglan said with a smile when she saw me.

"It's okay, it's you guys who are too late." I smiled back.

"It's not too late, besides, isn't there Yun Feiyu at the bottom?" Ye Fenglan said with a smile, and then sat down as well.

"That's right." I smiled too. As soon as I finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao." Xia Mengyou smiled and went to open the door for him. At the door, Yun Feiyu was bent over, holding his hand on the doorrail and panting. "As for me, isn't my house only on the third floor?" Xia Mengyou said with a smile.

"Come in and say." As soon as Yun Feiyu sat down, Xia Mengyou hurriedly brought a glass of water, and Yun Feiyu drank it directly. "Ye Fenglan." Yun Feiyu was still panting, "Why don't you reply to me?" ”

"Huh?" Ye Fenglan looked puzzled.

"I just saw you at that intersection and chased after you, who knew you were walking so fast. As soon as I chased it, I chased it to my destination. ”

"Haha." Ye Fenglan laughed when she heard this, "Blame me for my long legs." ”

"Alright, let's cut to the chase." Xia Mengyou also sat down and said.

"Is the content of the next few levels the same?" I asked.

"Hmm. We talked to each other before you woke up. Yun Feiyu answered my question.

"Since we woke up at about the same time, the order in which the four of us disappeared in our respective dreams should also be different." I analyzed.

"Yes, the three of us have already communicated with each other." Ye Fenglan said, "In my dream, you were the first to disappear. She pointed at me, "Then Xia Mengyou, and finally Yun Feiyu." ”

"The first thing in my dream is Yun Feiyu." Xia Mengyou spoke, "Then Ye Fenglan, and finally Liu Yaoxi." "Yo, I actually ...... Hehe, I'm a little happy in my heart.

"I am here first Xia Mengyou, then Liu Yaoxi, and finally Ye Fenglan." Yun Feiyu is also rare serious.

"It seems that they are very calculating. You should have guessed my order. The three of them nodded as I finished. I wonder if we're all under their watchful eye now. ”

"To be honest, I think the answer is yes." Ye Fenglan said. Then Yun Feiyu and Xia Mengyou also replied: "Plus one." "I think so, too."

"In fact, apart from sitting here and analyzing, it seems that all we can do is wait for them to come to the door." Xia Mengyou exhaled a long breath as she spoke.

"Oh, that's right." I suddenly remembered something very important, "Did you see a fifth person in your dreams?" ”

"Nope." "Why do you think that?" They all shook their heads. "I remember you said at the first level, still holding on?" Yun Feiyu said.

"Just wanted to see if there was anything different in your dreams." I waved my hand, pretending to give up on the idea. But I can't give up, this mysterious fifth person is the biggest and biggest doubt I have in this whole thing so far.

"In terms of time, the time we are in a coma is when we have our first dream." Yun Feiyu said.

"After analyzing it like this, we can't seem to analyze anything." Ye Fenglan was a little deflated when she said this.

"We also had a dream within a dream." I jokingly said nonsense.

"Heck, we're still getting too little. There is no understanding of them at all. Xia Mengyou frowned.

I suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, they're 23 now. ”

"So small?!" They spoke almost in unison.

"23 years old?! How is it possible to do this?! Yun Feiyu shouted, "Completely control our dreams and all our senses, completely make us feel like we're in reality." ”

"I'm also confused, and when I hear this, I think it's incredible." I said, "So it's only been six or seven years, and the technology is so advanced?" ”

"Definitely. And I'm almost certain that their strength and purpose are beyond our imagination. "Xia Mengyou's opinion is actually the same as mine.

"That's what I thought too." I pointed at Xia Mengyou and said.

"Gee, it doesn't seem useful to know their age." Yun Feiyu sighed and collapsed on the sofa suddenly.

"Oh, for their purposes." I spoke, "They said it was a test for the four of us. ”

"Testing?" "Oh?" "I didn't mention the future." They all said they had not received the news.

"They didn't say what the test was. That's where my question comes. "I'm ready to throw questions." Since it's a test for us, why don't we just have one dream by connecting the four of us together, so that our performance is more realistic? Four more dreams were designed. ”

"Maybe it's more difficult to get the thoughts of four people to appear in a dream. Maybe they just want us all to stay last and see what we can do that surprises them. Xia Mengyou answered.

"Okay." I sighed, "Do you have any other clues you can provide?" ”

"Ah, wait." Yun Feiyu suddenly sat up straight, "Liu Yaoxi, do you know how to cook?" ”

"How do you know?" I didn't react yet, I remember I didn't tell him I could cook...... "Wait!" Yun Feiyu and I smiled.

"Xia Mengyou, you can also cook." I changed my mind.

"That's right." Xia Mengyu looked at the two of us suspiciously.

Ye Fenglan also looked at the two of us puzzled: "Why are you talking about cooking?" ”

"Well, it looks like they're still not that good." Yun Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"You two should explain." Xia Mengyou said anxiously.

"Xia Mengyou, do you remember what we talked about after the second level? That is, the next night. I began to explain.

"What? I forgot. ”

"Ye Fenglan, do you remember?" I asked Ye Fenglan again.

"Isn't our dream just the same as the first level?" Ye Fenglan said suspiciously, "Useful?" ”

"It works." I smiled and said, "Just a hint, Xia Mengyou said that we only ate bread and milk for those two days. ”

"Oh!" Xia Mengyou made an expression of sudden realization.

"What do you mean?" Ye Fenglan hadn't reacted yet.

"In my dream, on the night when Yun Feiyu disappeared, I said that if there was a pot, I would show you a hand."

"Oh! I remember. You said that in my dreams. Ye Fenglan shouted. Then he asked, "What's the use?" ”

"In my dream, it was the night after Ye Fenglan disappeared, Xia Mengyou said so." I spoke again, "I also said I would cook too." ”

"In my dream, because Xia Mengyou disappeared that time, Liu Yaoxi said that he would cook." Yun Feiyu also spoke.

"And what does that mean?" Ye Fenglan still didn't understand.

I had no choice but to explain it directly: "This shows that although we seem to be dreaming separately, we are all connected." The other three people they 'replicated' in our respective dreams after separating us were still the same as the four of us, but in a different order. They 'copy' and they 'copy' on the basis of our character, etc. In this way, we all know what we do to each other. In fact, it is equivalent to the four of us having the same dream, but they forcibly changed the order of disappearance, so that we are still dreaming separately. ”

"Oh. This means that they do not yet have the ability to directly create a person's thoughts and stuff them into our heads. Ye Fenglan nodded.

"Yes." Yun Feiyu spoke again, "So what we did in our dreams or saw others do may have been done in other people's dreams. ”

"The two of us still have a tacit understanding." I laughed and high-fived Yun Feiyu. "Not bad." Yun Feiyu also smiled.

"Then their strength is still within our understanding." Xia Mengyou nodded to the point.

"Uh...... Not really. I shook my head again, "We're still not sure if they couldn't do it or if they did it on purpose." "But we know what we've done to each other in our dreams. I thought to myself. Wait a minute! That...... Summer Dream ...... No...... I pretended to look around, and when I swept Xia Mengyou, I could still see a trace of something wrong in her eyes, and that feeling of something wrong was...... Shy. Don't? I couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

There are also the sounds of some children playing in the community, and occasionally the shouts of adults, most of them are to call their own children. At this turn of spring and summer, wind is always essential. Even though it's May, there are still a few kites fluttering in the sky. Everyone is happy, such a world is very good, and the bad will be quickly washed away. What happens in dreams won't affect reality anymore.
