The sound of the alarm clock woke up Qin Shi who was sleeping, and she seemed to hear the familiar voice again: "Wake up." The voice was indistinct, as if it had come from outside the world.

Qin Shi opened her eyes and saw the ceiling of her bedroom, and she realized that she had returned home from the mental sanatorium.

Even if there is no homicide, there is always the crime of intentional wounding.

As a result, Dr. Jia issued her a certificate of severe mental illness, which, combined with the efforts of her mother's company executives, led her to be taken home after admitting that she had behaved erratically.

But is she really sober?

Her mother arranged for someone to take care of Qin Shi at home, and her mobile phone was also taken away, seemingly deliberately cutting off all contact between her and the outside world.

Why did the mother do this? What exactly is she avoiding it?

The seemingly peaceful life was not enough to dispel all kinds of strange thoughts in Qin Shi's heart, and she still couldn't believe that Gu Yi was the man in the photo. Something must have gone wrong.

Taking advantage of her mother's hurried departure from the country, Qin Shi escaped from the cage-like home. With her vague memory, she found the apartment where Gu Yi lived.

The door was opened, and the man standing at the door took half a step back, staring at Qin Shi vigilantly: "You... What's the matter with coming to me? ”

Qin Shi rubbed her eyes, and what she saw was still the face that made her resentful, but everything in this room was very familiar to her. The bottle of red wine in the cupboard was like a meeting gift to Gu Yi when she first came.

"You... Is it really Gu Yi? That's impossible! Qin Shi held her head in pain, her facial features became even more distorted, and she rushed down the stairs as if she was running for her life, rushing into the surging crowd on the street.

In the blurred vision of tears, a strange-looking woman appeared, and a pair of shrewd eyes were watching her on her face with slightly protruding cheekbones.

Qin Shi was uncomfortable by this woman, and Qin Shi, who was not wearing a mask, felt ashamed every second as if she had been stripped naked. She walked forward with her head down, directionless, like a headless fly into an alley.

The familiar bar, she seemed to have walked here subconsciously. Pushing the door in, the people inside cast complicated eyes, some surprised, afraid, disdainful, but also sympathy and regret.

Qin Shi found a corner and hid himself in the dim light.

From time to time, her eyes looked at the door of the bar, as if she was worried that she would be followed, and suddenly she felt the gaze again.

The woman was sitting not far from Qin Shi, and she had never seen this person enter the door. A ghostly woman.

She looked at Qin Shi with unconcealed eyes, and looked at Qin Shi in a dignified manner. A trace of anger burned into a cluster of flames in his chest, Qin Shi stood up and walked out of the shadows.

"Are you sick in the head?" She asked angrily at the woman.

For Qin Shi's scathing tone, the woman didn't laugh angrily: "Qin Shi, haven't you realized it yet?" ”

"Do you recognize me?" Qin Shi tugged at the corners of her mouth, which was tilted even more severely.

"You are the center of this world, and those people exist because of you." The woman gestured to the crowd at the bar.

"What are you talking about? The brain is really broken..."Qin Shi suddenly realized that everyone's eyes in the bar were focused on him at this moment, and every face showed the same expression.

There was no surprise, fear or disdain, all polite smiles, Qin Shi was seen to stand on end.

"You can try and let time stand still." The woman said seductively.

Qin Shi concentrated her thoughts and closed her eyes slightly, of course she couldn't do this woman's nonsense, she just wanted to prove that her brain was indeed abnormal.

However, when she opened her eyes again, everyone appeared in front of her in a fixed posture, as if they were frozen by a strange external force.

"Look, what am I talking about?" The woman clapped her hands, her eyes slightly triumphant.

"Who the hell are you?" Qin Shi looked at the only woman in this bar who behaved "normally" in disbelief, and her mind was in a mess.

"I'm the administrator of the Good Dreams system, and we met two months ago."

As the words fell, the scene around him suddenly changed, and the still bar disappeared. Beside her appeared a desk, a bookcase, a coffee table, and a working sofa.

"What is this place?" Qin Shi looked around blankly.

The woman sitting behind the desk replied word for word, "This is the center of the Good Dreams Building." ”

"The Good Dream System... What does this have to do with me? Qin Shi felt extremely puzzled.

"The whole idea of the good dream system is to continue life indefinitely, without any memory of death," the woman explained to her.

"When humanity suffers from an incurable disease, it will sign a contract with us. When they face death, they will be frozen, and we will thaw them when they can be cured one day in the future. ”

"I don't understand what you mean." Qin Shi shook his head.

"Not only that, but we also provide other services," the woman continued, "such as 'lucid dreaming,' where you can enjoy the dreams that the system creates in the brain while you are freezing." In dreams, you will only feel happiness, no worries, and no trace of the passage of time. ”

"'Lucid dream'..."Some fragments suddenly appeared in Qin Shi's mind, and she seemed to remember that she had once stepped into this office, and even signed her name on a document.

"You signed this contract with us after you left the bar heartbroken," the woman said, placing a document on the table, "You suffered from severe depression because of your disfigurement, and not long before you committed suicide by swallowing drugs at home." ”

Qin Shi pinched the document, her hands trembling, and listened to the woman continue to narrate: "Before your nerve cells died, we froze you and created a dream for you according to the content of the contract. ”

"You mean... Gu Yi came back to me, and the repair surgery was successful, all of which happened in a dream? Qin Shi pondered, trying to find the loopholes in it,

"But if it's a man-made dream, how can it be a nightmare?"

"Logically speaking, this is not the case. But your subconscious mind strongly reminds you that you are in a dream, so the system has set up some problems for the person you have constructed. ”

"The character design constructed..."Qin Shi felt a cold sweat, "You mean, Gu Yi doesn't exist at all?" ”

At this moment, the door of the office was slammed open from the outside, and Dr. Jia blushed and stopped loudly: "Qin Shi, don't believe what she said!" ”
