Chapter 3: Moon City
"How do you know you're back in the same Moon City? Could it be exactly the same many Moon Cities together? What is the reference? Zhou Yu threw out a series of questions.
"The reference is the Moon Pillar, which is the core of the Moon City...... Taibai didn't have time to finish his words, and hurriedly squatted, avoiding a tentacle thrown in from outside the door.
The thick tentacles full of suction cups "snapped" against the wall and continued to stretch into the room, blocking the door and slamming indiscriminately.
Zhou Yu shrank into the corner of the wall again, judging from the sound of the hit, the power of this tentacle was very strong, and it should be able to smash him flat.
This time, even Taibai was a little struggling, she pulled out countless cuts on her tentacles, and cut off the tips of her tentacles many times, but no matter what kind of injuries she suffered, the tentacles recovered quickly.
Narrowly avoided a few swings, Taibai frowned, retracted the scythe, moved to the door, raised his hand and slapped the tentacle, and the place where she touched caught fire caught fire.
The fire spread rapidly, and within seconds, the entire tentacle was burning.
She leaned against the door, hooked her finger at Zhou Yu, and said, "Prepare to leave, the flames won't burn you, as long as you don't get hit." ”
What Zhou Yu is afraid of is being hit, and if he is really on fire, he can go out to get drenched in the rain, but there is indeed a relatively safe area next to the door, and it will be finished sooner or later, but after the fire, the tentacles will be overclocked, and the "whirring" will sound directly, and the attack range will be larger and the power will be more sufficient.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, bent his waist, waited patiently, calmly observed for more than twenty seconds, seized the opportunity when the tentacles attacked, jumped out of the tentacles with a support wall, rolled on the spot, got up and stood next to Taibai against the wall, her movements were far less handsome than when she went out before, but it was very smooth.
Seeing Taibai's somewhat surprised eyes, Zhou Yu was a little proud, pretending not to care and continuing to ask: "The core refers to the geographical location, right?" ”
Taibai nodded: "The Moon Pillar is the place where the people in the Moon City are focused, it is recommended that you go to the Moon Pillar as soon as you wake up in the future, and you don't have to worry about nightmares when you get there, knowing that we can't leave the Moon City, because no matter how many times you go out of the city, when you return to the Moon Pillar, you will still see those people who have been staying in the Moon Pillar, and there is not much difference from when you left, for them, you just leave from one direction and come back from the other direction." ”
"I see." When Zhou Yu heard this, she suddenly thought of a question - with her skills, she could easily take herself to the Moon Pillar, why did she always have to stay in these unsafe houses? Wouldn't it be better to explain it again when it comes to the safe moon pillar?
I only heard Taibai continue: "Another reason why the Moon Pillar is the core of Moon City is that there is a tree called 'Moon God' in the Moon Pillar, and we can enter other people's dreams through the rattan hanging down from the tree, that is, 'rattan dreams', which is the most important means for us to improve our zero force, the higher the zero force, the longer we will stay in Moon City." ”
"Entering into someone else's ...... Dreamland? Zhou Yu's eyes widened again, showing a high degree of interest in this matter.
The tentacles gradually burned out, and the part that blocked the door also shrank back, Taibai said "go", and when he ran outside the door first, Zhou Yu immediately followed, followed her for a long time, and came to a position two kilometers away from the moon pillar, and entered a room again.
Sitting down against the wall facing the door, Taibai said: "Not anyone's dreams can enter, the only dreams that can be entered are special dreams that the dreamweaver - that is, the dreamer - cannot wake up, this kind of dream is usually very real, there will be no drastic changes, what we have to do is to wake up the dreamweaver, this act is called 'dream hunting', and the people in the moon city are also called dream hunters." ”
"Thinking day and night, we have a legitimate reason to enter other people's dreams, can't we peep into other people's privacy in a bright light?" Zhou Yu smiled, although he didn't say it, but what he thought of now was those pink dreams.
Taibai guessed what he was thinking, and gave him a blank look: "It's said that it's a special dream, how can that kind of ...... happen Forget it, let's continue to talk about dreams, dreams that can be entered through rattan, even if the dreamweaver realizes that he is dreaming, he can't affect the dream, can't wake up, and the characters in the dream have independent thoughts and consciousness, that dream is equivalent to a real world, when entering the dream, we can get a simple hint on how to wake up the dreamer, and we can achieve the goal by doing it, leave the dream, and increase zero strength; If you fail, you will be able to leave the dream, but it will cause zero energy to decrease. ”
"That zero force is a bit like the experience value of the game, improve the zero force, live here, and constantly enter the dream realm to wake up the dream weaver, and you can increase the zero force and increase the chance of survival...... It's a system of its own, and it's interesting. Zhou Yu nodded slowly, and thought of an important question: "By the way, what happens if you die in someone else's dream?" What happens if you die in Moon City? ”
"It doesn't matter if the Dream Hunter dies in someone else's dream, it's just that the mission fails and loses zero strength, but if the Dream Weaver dies, he will never wake up again, and you will also be trapped in that dream; If you die in Moontown, you will never be able to wake up in the real world again, and become a vegetative person whose cause cannot be traced by any medical means. As soon as Taibai's voice fell, a white cloth like a handkerchief immediately appeared in front of her, and the cloth appeared suddenly, indicating that this was her fifth ability.
She asked Zhou Yu to press on the white cloth, the white cloth disappeared and reappeared in front of her, she drew a big triangle on it with her fingers, and drew an inverted small triangle in the middle of the big triangle, and finally drew a few simple lines near the small triangle, closed her eyes, and the handkerchief disappeared in place again.
Hearing the word "vegetative person", Zhou Yu's face turned a little pale: "In other words, if I hadn't touched you just now, I would have been killed by that nightmare and would never be able to wake up in the real world again?" ”
Taibai nodded: "Yes, but that nightmare came to me, it was you who made a noise to attract its attention, your zero power is still very low, you can't attract nightmares of that level, there is a problem to pay attention to, the location where you wake up in Moon City in the future is random, you may be far away from the Moon Pillar, and it is easy to encounter powerful nightmares that are difficult to deal with, so when you wake up, you must go to the Moon Pillar immediately." ”
"This is very important, I remember, I will run to the moon pillar as soon as I wake up in the future." Zhou Yu nodded sincerely.
Taibai smiled: "I can't go to the Moon Pillar for some reason, so I called a familiar person to take you there, let him tell you about the Dream Fu and the Moon Pillar, you can still ask some questions before he comes, what else do you not understand about what you just said?" ”
"I've always had a question to ask." Zhou Yu said seriously: "Did you fall in love with me at first sight?" ”
"Huh?" Taibai was stunned: "Who fell in love with you at first sight, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
"You think, although that strong man-like nightmare is here for you, but you can't blame it, you can leave immediately after killing the nightmare, but you didn't leave, but took me all the way, and spent time in a dangerous environment to introduce me to so much knowledge, my appearance, you can't plan anything except fresh meat, you can only explain it with love at first sight." Zhou Yu pointed to his inner stuff with the index fingers of both hands and said.
"You're in your twenties, aren't you? It's still fresh meat...... Taibai laughed: "I just looked at you like this, I knew that you were a newcomer, and I was almost killed by the nightmare that came because of me, so I just helped you, who made me kind-hearted?" Ask serious questions, and I'll be too lazy to talk to you if you're messing around any more. ”
"You see, if you don't say leave, you just don't bother to talk to me, which means that you will stay here to protect me, and you are really a good person." Zhou Yu patted his ass, lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "I want to ask a question about the timeline, you just said that the higher the zero force, the longer you stay here, so the time to settle in Moon City should not correspond to the time in the real world, right?" ”
Taibai raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect him to really throw out a very serious question, and nodded: "Few people can think of the timeline so quickly, can you satisfy my curiosity first and tell you what you do in the real world?" Before you say that, I have to tell you a rule, that is, you can't reveal your identity in reality in Moon City, where there are people, there are conflicts, and some people will find a way to retaliate in the real world if they can't please in Moon City, so everyone doesn't reveal their identities, and it's not very rude to ask others this kind of question, which is also the reason for choosing another name, if you don't want to say that I won't be reluctant, I won't say it anyway. ”
Zhou Yu smiled very calmly: "You said so many important things, how can I still hide them from you?" I am a male, a 21-year-old woman who works in a coffee shop in Qingji City. ”
"Part-time job? Coffee shop? It's not like that. Taibai's face was incredulous, judging from Zhou Yu's way of thinking and ability to act, he didn't look like a worker in a coffee shop.
"Really, I work full-time, I haven't even signed a contract, but the salary is not bad, and when I save enough money, I will travel the world and become a novelist, this is my dream in the future, I have a big brain, and it is a waste not to write novels." After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he asked again: "Even if you don't reveal the information of the real world, you can always see something from your appearance, right?" At least if you know what kind of person it is, and then draw a portrait, won't you be able to find the person? ”
Taibai shook his head and said: "When you wake up in the real world, you will remember what happened in Yuecheng and the rattan dream, and remember what others said, but you can't recall that person's appearance, voice, and physical characteristics, so you don't have to worry about this problem, and it doesn't matter if you say things like nationality, you won't reveal your identity." ”
Zhou Yu nodded: "I see, is there anything else you want to know about me?" ”
Taibai thought for a while and said, "Let's ask later, I'll answer your question first." ”
