Chapter 1: Wake up
Lying in the rain, Zhou Yu understood a truth - it is impossible for people to know when they fell asleep.
He was still sleeping in his bed just now, looking at the familiar ceiling and ceiling lamp, and the next moment he was in this pouring rain, soaking wet, and he was not spared even his buttocks.
It's a dream, of course.
The question is, do dreams feel so real? He could clearly feel the coldness of the rain, the raindrops lapping on his face and body, the hardness of the ground, the itching on the tip of his nose, and the sourness of his eyes after entering the water.
It is said that the sensation in the dream is a stress response of the body, and if this is the case, then I must have experienced the worst bedwetting in human history - even the forehead felt that half of the room must have been flooded.
"With such a big bladder, I'm going to be a firefighter." Zhou Yu sat up, spit out the rain in his mouth, wiped his face, and saw that he was naked, and he was only wearing an underwear, which was exactly what he wore when he slept on weekdays.
This is either an extremely real dream, or an extremely successful trick, those guys around me have this ability, and they also have such a bad taste, the question is will Sister Su agree?
If you don't agree, it's definitely not a trick.
He stood up, lifted the heavy load, and looked around.
There were thick dark clouds in the sky, and there was always a flash of white light in the clouds, but there was no thunder, and when the light was lit, the raindrops the size of beans were illuminated like stars.
It was a very large city, like an intact ancient city, with buildings generally short, the highest being about ten meters, as if it was made of yellow, seeping sand, but it was very strong, a bit like the boxy turrets of the past, closely arranged and chaotic, each building had a small door, but there were no windows.
A few thousand meters away, in the center of the city, there is an extremely tall building standing between heaven and earth, towering into the sky, which is impossible with the current industrial level of mankind and the load-bearing capacity of the earth's crust.
"A sense of extraterrestrial civilization." Zhou Yu was on the roof of a "turret", there was no creature nearby, and there was no passage down the roof, so he had to come to the edge of the roof and squat down.
Less than ten meters above the ground, it doesn't sound high, and in the novel it is half a step away from a miscellaneous soldier, but in the real world, this is already a three-story height, and since this dream is so real, it is very likely that you will break your leg if you jump.
But staying on the roof in the rain is not a solution, you have to go down and shop, dreams are related to imagination, there are so many houses, maybe there are so many girls.
Holding the edge of the roof, Zhou Yu hung against the wall, adjusted his posture, let go of his fingers and slid down, feeling that he was almost to the ground, so he pushed the wall.
There is shallow water on the ground, and when it lands, it makes a soft "pop" sound, the sound is not loud, but it seems abrupt, like inserting an allegro performance in "The Blue Danube".
Although the movement is small, it attracts the attention of some kind of being.
In the next room, a tall figure in the darkness looked at the door, with bright yellow iris and elongated pupils like olive cores.
Zhou Yu didn't know anything about this, looked up at the triangular prism building, walked in that direction, and just a few steps out, a tall figure walked out of the house and followed him.
The sound of the rain drowned out the footsteps, and the two figures got closer and closer, and at a certain moment, the huge palm grabbed Zhou Yu's head violently, as if it was about to pinch his head.
Zhou Yu turned around suddenly, turned his head to avoid the giant palm he caught, grabbed the opponent's arm, and sent it forward, while kicking it sideways and backwards.
The purpose of sending is to let the other party catch up, so that the kick is stronger; The position of the kick is the lower abdomen, which can defeat the enemy with one move without leaving too serious sequelae.
It's a pity that the difference in weight made Zhou Yu unable to pull the other party, and the difference in height caused the foot he kicked out to touch the opponent's thigh when the strength was exhausted, and even the skin could not be broken.
When he saw the thing clearly, he screamed in fright and turned to run, but the big hand grabbed his arm with a flip of his wrist.
It was a monster, about two meters tall, with large shoulders and a round waist, covered with black bristles, revealing only its palms and face, two eyes and a slightly bulging nose huddled together, and a huge mouth underneath, full of messy, interlaced fangs, transparent liquid flowing out between the teeth, mixed with rain, dripping.
It feels like this monster is an orangutan, but its body shape and facial features are the same as those of humans, only the pupils are different, Zhou Yu doesn't think that this monster looks terrible, but a trace of fear rises in his heart.
Grabbing Zhou Yu's arm, the corners of the monster's mouth were slightly upturned, very proud, a greedy look appeared in his eyes, more liquid gushed between his teeth, it slowly dragged Zhou Yu in front of him, looked down at him, grabbed Zhou Yu's other arm, and slowly pulled it on both sides, obviously to tear off one of his arms.
Zhou Yu's eyes were so painful that his eyes were full of stars, and he kept screaming "wake up and wake up", but unfortunately it was useless, he couldn't leave the dream.
The skin on the shoulders and neck stretched to the limit, and it was so red that it seemed like blood beads were oozing out, and at this moment, a huge blade suddenly stretched out from the side, and lay across the monster's neck, faintly shining with cold light.
The monster's smug smile remained on its face, but its pupils narrowed to the thinness of a hair's hair.
The giant blade pulled back, silently cut off the monster's head, rolled into the distance, black smoke spurted out of the monster's neck like blood, and without a head, it fell backwards, and the two big hands still grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, not only did not let go, but also shook it extremely hard when the head was cut off.
Hearing the strange "click" sound of the shoulder joint, Zhou Yu screamed, and was pulled forward by the monster and fell, his face hit the monster's stomach, the hard abdomen almost broke the bridge of his nose, and the black bristles almost blinded his eyes.
After struggling for a while, pulling his arms out of the monster's hands that were so painful that he could barely lift them, Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at his savior.
It was a very beautiful woman, with soaked clothes clinging to her body, outlining her bumpy figure, barefoot, her feet were white and immature, and it was not the blade or the blade of a sword that cut off the head of the monster, but the scythe of a war scythe.
The scythe is two meters tall when erected, and it is white throughout.
She carried the scythe on her shoulders, her brows frowned slightly, her facial features were delicate and beautiful, as if she was wearing a light makeup, and the raindrops kept flowing down her cheeks, making her look like she had just come out of the bathroom, and she was incomparably beautiful.
Zhou Yu felt that she was a little familiar, and she couldn't remember where she had seen it, so before he could say thank you, she raised her left hand, stretched out her index finger and put it in front of her lips, leaning over to pull him up, but she saw his naked body, and she didn't know where to start.
After hesitating for a moment, the woman retracted her hand and made a serious silent gesture again, making sure that Zhou Yu understood and nodded, then grabbed his ankle and dragged him forward, very fast.
Zhou Yu was startled, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, so as not to call out himself, the stagnant water on the ground reduced the friction, but it kept hitting his crotch and pouring it into his nostrils.
She was very fast, there was no sound when she ran, and the hand holding her ankle was extremely powerful, just like another monster, Zhou Yu was afraid that she would attract more monsters as soon as she opened her mouth, so she had to be a quiet dragged person.
Turning through several buildings, the two entered a room.
She sat by the door with her knees folded, her scythe in her elbow, standing at her side, bowing her head and saying, "Before you ask a question, tell me the first words that come to mind." ”
The sound is pleasant to the ear.
"Bento." Zhou Yu blurted out.
"Bento?" She was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Interesting name, my name is Taibai." ”
Looking at her suffocatingly beautiful smile, Zhou Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened violently: "Eh? Wait a minute...... Name? ”
He just happened to be thinking, "I almost got the bento just now", and the word "bento" is the point, so he said it, who knew that he was taking a name.
"That's how we all got our names, anyway, it's just a code name, and you'll be called Bento in the future, Bento." She was still smiling, a hint of mischievous flashing in her eyes.
Zhou Yu looked at her with a bitter face, and after a while, he sighed: "Okay, the bento is the bento, people in the past liked to give their children cheap names, easy to feed, bento at least better than dog leftovers, dung and eggs, your name is Taibai, you won't be reciting Tang poems when you choose the name, right?" ”
She shook her head: "My name has nothing to do with Li Taibai, it has other meanings, you can think of Tang poems from Taibai, it should be a Chinese person, right?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Yu frowned: "Haven't we been speaking Chinese?" ”
Taibai gently tapped his temple: "In this place, we communicate through consciousness, and we can't judge nationality by language, although the expression of communication is still speaking, but no matter what country people are, no matter what language they speak, there is no communication barrier, ah!" Forgot to say, welcome to Moon City. ”
"Consciousness exchange? Moon City? Zhou Yu frowned, this "dream" seemed to be developing in a strange direction.
Taibai was amused by his appearance again and asked, "What?" Do you think you've crossed over? ”
"Isn't it a dream?" Zhou Yu really didn't expect to cross, but now that I think about it, the crossing in the novel seems to be such a scene.
Taibai smiled and explained: "Strictly speaking, you are indeed dreaming, but this dream is very special, our dream is connected by this city, from now on you will wake up here after falling asleep in the real world, and you will wake up in the real world after falling asleep here, that is, you will not have other dreams, just like us, your 'dream' is also trapped in Moon City." ”
