Linxiang City, in the duplex building of a rental apartment. Twenty-five minutes after Zhou Baiyu entered the dream......

Zhou Baiyu had blood from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose......

He dreamed of a long, narrow passage, and at the end of it, he saw ...... wrapped in a myriad of black substances Cocoon.

As if it were tentacles, as if it were black mist.

But there is no doubt that once that kind of thing is touched, ordinary people will immediately feel strong negative emotions.

He had seen this kind of thing in the Gu Tower.

However, the scene in this dream seems simple, but it does not reach the end at all.

Although there was only a narrow road in the dream, although he guessed, Zhang Haoyun was trapped in a black cocoon at the end of the road......

But that end is really unreachable.

In this life, Zhou Baiyu cares about many people, and there are many people who care about Zhou Baiyu.

There is indeed another side to his personality, that side, coquettish, jumpy, and even a little evil. But more often than not, he is kind-hearted.

As the world has said, it seems that to reach the black cocoon sac, there is only one way to be truly ruthless, not to love anyone, and not to be loved by anyone.

Zhou Baiyu actually collapsed earlier than those legendary forerunners.

Ke Chongye lasted for an hour, Guancanghai also lasted for an hour, and the world insisted for 90 minutes......

Zhou Baiyu is different, this winner of the Love Saint achievement, ten minutes after falling asleep, began to have violent convulsions, and felt great torture in the dream.

At twenty-five minutes, Ling Hanshu couldn't care about everything, and used all his strength to wake him up.

Brother Zhou, who was crying, pulled Zhou Baiyu out of the dream.

"Whew...... ...... "Zhou Baiyu is like everyone who wakes up from a nightmare, with a frightened expression and breathing heavily.

"Zhou ...... Brother Zhou, the way you look now, you look so scary...... What kind of dream is that? ”

Zhou Baiyu did not answer this question immediately, but said after nearly a minute:

"I don't know if the strikingly impermanence predecessor is still alive......"

"This is a dream that reverses your past memories, of course, entering the Black Lotus, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a dream."

"There is a passage in the dream, and with each step, it seems that many days will pass, and these days, all the good memories of your past, all the people you meet that you are grateful for, will become distorted."

"They'll do everything they can to torment you...... My mother...... In this dream, it looks very terrifying, it is simply a corrupt monster. ”

"As you move forward, your appearance in your dreams changes, you grow, but you suffer more and more ......"

"First parents, then friends, all the people you come into contact with......

Ling Hanshu suddenly found that Brother Zhou was a little sad.

She didn't know the relationship between Zhou Baiyu and the corrupt species, she just felt it...... Brother Zhou's eyes and tone were a little dark.

"In the end...... What kind of monster is it...... Could there be such a painful field? ”

Ling Hanshu's problem is also Zhou Baiyu's problem.

He thought silently, how uncomfortable should she be when she took Zhang Haoyun to watch that movie?

In her memory, did her parents turn out to be such twisted monsters?

That was supposed to be ...... Who loves you the most in the world?

It is true that corruption amplifies resentment and amplifies negative emotions, but even so, parents are too scary in dreams.

"It's so good, my parents are not very good to me, and I have a younger brother who always robs me of things."

How on earth did she say that?

Zhou Baiyu's fists clenched.

Inside, you're already preparing for the worst.

"I have to get in touch with the cocoon, at least I need to know if there's anything hidden in the cocoon."

Ling Hanshu listened to Zhou Baiyu's words, and became even more worried:

"But, it's just a dream, Brother Zhou, you can't take your life because of a dream, right?"

"Besides, there is the only president in the world, and there is also the president of the light and dust...... They, they should be able to do it, right? They are the legendary pioneers...... Just, we're not that good, and that's okay. “

Ling Hanshu cared about Zhou Baiyu in the end, and his words were a little selfish, but in essence, he hoped that Zhou Baiyu would give up this behavior that was almost self-torturous.

Zhou Baiyu shook his head.

It seems that Zhang Haoyun's matter is his business. He grabbed a handful of sleeping pills:

"This time...... Don't wake me up! If I'm in pain, just keep whispering in my ear that it's all fake. ”

This sounds like an arbitrary decision, and it's not a strategy.

Ling Hanshu was a little puzzled, and said anxiously:

"Brother Zhou...... Why do you want to do this! ”

Zhou Baiyu smiled:

"You know what's the most uncomfortable? It is you who give people false hope. ”

False hope is not just about telling a person to do the impossible. Rather, you shouldn't give up halfway.

Whether it was the MLM victim who committed suicide by jumping off a building and smashing his body in front of Zhou Baiyu.

Or the one who committed suicide and was saved by him, but later committed suicide again.

In Zhou Baiyu's view, both are the same, but the former is a deception that he doesn't even believe.

The latter is that you really promise someone, but you just promise, but you don't accompany him to do it.

Zhou Baiyu didn't want to make such a mistake for the third time in his life.

"I can't leave her behind, life will get better and better, I can't leave her in a place like that."

Zhou Baiyu didn't say anything more, and poured a handful of sleeping pills in his hand directly.

He knew very well that he couldn't die with this dose, and what he needed now was not to wake up, but to not be able to wake up.

He didn't even know if the dream of waking up and dreaming impermanently would take effect a second time. But this is already the safest way to explore the Black Lotus area, relatively speaking.

The medicinal properties quickly took effect, and after a moment of grogginess, he entered the dream again.

……

……

A long passage appears.

The sky was gray, as if the sunlight was cut off by the black lotus, leaving only the remnants of light seedlings, making the darkness less absolute.

The passage is like a lonely bridge.

On both sides of the bridge, there was a tumbling thick black fog that could not be penetrated by the gaze at all.

After taking a step, Zhou Baiyu saw the memory of being five years old.

It was supposed to be a day when Ms. Wang Shufen and Mr. Zhou Zeshui took him to Linxiang City Amusement Park to play.

He was very happy that day, the carousel that best represents his childhood, bumper cars, he played for a long time, not like other children, he tasted it and stopped, he really played until the sky was dusk before going back.

He has not been particularly wealthy since he was a child, but other people's children have, and Zhou Zeshui and Wang Shufen have never been left behind.

But in this dream, the merry-go-round turned into a hideous beast, and the children who drove in the parking lot with rubber tires were also hateful, with a smile that made people's backs tingle, vicious, and resentful.

The most important thing is that Wang Shufen's image will be extremely weird from now on-

In the abdomen, there is a huge sarcoma connected to the heart, and the sarcoma even has a face, laughing mockingly.

The corrupt seed that was transformed from his mother, but he has long been unable to distinguish, his whole body is covered with "fragments".

Shards of glass, like a beer bottle shattering.

Zhou Baiyu did not stop.

He didn't know how long he had held out. It seems that it has just entered the dream realm, and it seems that a long time has passed.

He began to walk forward frantically, and the sound from Ling Hanshu echoed in his ears.

But at this time, he still didn't really listen. He had gone from being five years old to fifteen.

The little girl was scared silly, but she still remembered one sentence - whatever Brother Zhou said, she would follow.

The so-called dream realm is actually very easily affected by external forces.

When people are dreaming, it is even possible to have a conversation with a waking person in a deep dream.

Ling Hanshu kept repeating: Brother Zhou, this is just a dream, all this is just a dream!

She didn't know whether to wake up Brother Zhou, but it seemed to be ...... Instinctively, she still believed in this man.

In the dream, Zhou Baiyu kept moving forward.

Father Zhou Zeshui's laughter turned from the sky, and sharp wine bottles kept falling from the sky, bang!

Every time a wine bottle is broken, there will be a brief memory of Zhang Haoyun.

From these memories, Zhou Baiyu knew that this girl, who had never been loved, had so many sad pasts.

Shortly after leaving the village, she sent her brother a sum of money that she had worked so hard to save, but she sent it anyway because of her mother's words.

The day after she sent the money, she met her father, and when she thought she could finally get a little affirmation, her father mentioned a marriage and hoped to sell her to a man in a neighboring county for 1,500 yuan.

Her father smiled at her that day, but that smile was more uncomfortable than a beer bottle on her head.

It's not the first time she's realized a problem, but it's the first time she's tried to change it with her own values.

But at that moment, in Zhang Haoyun's mind, there was only one voice-

"They...... Don't love me. ”

Since then, she has been frantically trying to escape, but she can't get rid of that life.

Desperation made Zhou Baiyu's footsteps feel like a thousand pounds.

The sound of those shattering was endless, and he was hurt by his own memory, those distorted relatives and friends, and Zhang Haoyun's memory, those painful pasts.

But despair also made Zhou Baiyu more confident. He began to run frantically towards the front.

It seems that the instinct of survival, the nerves of the brain, all think that this is an almost suicidal behavior, and at this moment, all of Zhou Baiyu's senses are magnified.

It's like a flashback.

But also because of this...... He heard!

Heard Ling Hanshu's hint - all this was just a dream!

And once a person realizes that he is dreaming, then this dream is about to collapse!

The dim world becomes pitch black, and the black cocoon sac also changes irregularly from an oval shape!

But because of this, Zhou Baiyu was blessed by misfortune, he and those monsters distorted into people in his memory, under the fluctuation of spatial distance, there was a short respite!

Once the dream is about to wake up, people will always think, since this is a dream, can I do whatever I want?

Obviously, he couldn't, he couldn't erase those monsters, and he didn't know that he was a guest in his dreams.

After all, he was just an away from home in a dream.

However, Ling Hanshu's hint had greatly destroyed the stability of this dream.

The space around it began to fall apart...... The originally long passage was shattered into countless boulders, and the originally single route became diversified.

And when you have more complex options, you have more room for flexibility. Among the countless broken boulders, Zhou Baiyu kept jumping, and in his dreams, he seemed to be the only one who could change...... It's himself.

Although it was only a small change, it at least allowed him to move in the shattered boulder, getting closer to the black cocoon sac a little bit.

It's like the protagonist of a side-scrolling game, jumping through the floating air, looking for a place to stay, and then getting closer and closer to the end to beat the level!

Zhou Baiyu has finally come to the end!

He uttered a cry that resounded through the night:

"Zhang Haoyun! Don't give up! It doesn't matter what you've been through! That's none of your future! ”

These are his sincere words, and he really hopes that this woman can come out of the shadows of the past.

But it was all in vain, even if his words could really evoke that little bit of hope......

It's just a dream.

In the depths of the Black Lotus......

Zhang Haoyun is still a cocoon wrapped in endless black tentacles and black mist.

In the dream, the pitch-black cocoon sac fluctuates irregularly...... It really made Zhou Baiyu's shout penetrate the endless black fog and come to Zhang Haoyun's body.

"Annoying and bad life is always the same, and bad luck will only keep happening, one after another, Zhou Baiyu, don't come near me."

"We are fundamentally people from two different worlds! Give me...... Get back! ”

The moment he touched the black cocoon sac, Zhou Baiyu only felt all the negative emotions in his heart, fear, anger, and sadness...... And the resentment of the world, all growing like crazy!

He finally realized what an inexplicable situation it was.

"The passage in front of it, compared to the black cocoon sac, is pediatrics at all, and only people who really don't love anyone and are not loved by anyone can come here......"

"But such a person must have a huge character flaw or an extremely antisocial personality at all......"

"And these black cocoon sacs ...... It's a corruption thing! Once such a person touches the black cocoon sac, he will immediately be overwhelmed by huge negative emotions and become corrupt! ”

This is Zhou Baiyu's last sanity, after touching the cocoon, he was swallowed up by endless negative emotions.

Fortunately, his body was also pushed away by a huge force.

……

……

Woke up.

Zhou Baiyu, who finally touched the finish line, woke up miraculously in medicine.

Ling Hanshu was so frightened that he didn't expect to take so many sleeping pills...... But you can wake up suddenly.

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu really looks like a corrupt seed, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his eyes are a little scarlet because of bloodshots.

He didn't gasp violently, just clutched his head, looking in pain.

"If that thing is allowed to spread...... Not to mention what level of monster will appear after the cocoon hatches...... The diffusion itself alone will have a huge impact on Linxiang City. ”

"This field must be completely eliminated, and Zhang Haoyun must be rescued from the cocoon."

Zhou Baiyu's gaze was extremely firm, even to the point of being a little crazy.

Ling Hanshu didn't know who Zhang Haoyun was, but in her opinion...... The name Zhang Haoyun was probably explored by Brother Zhou in his dream?

"So...... Brother Zhou, do you have a way? Have you found a way to get rid of that black lotus? ”

Zhou Baiyu shook his head:

"I can't help it, I'm afraid there is no one in the world, and the light and dust, they can't ......"

Although there was no way, Ling Hanshu found that Brother Zhou's eyes were getting more and more crazy, and he didn't know when there was an extra tube of blue injections in his hand.

After all conceivable solutions were rejected, after realizing that the real Black Lotus District would only be more dangerous than dreams......

Zhou Baiyu is like a gambler who is willing to give up everything and prepare for stud, a complete madman:

"I can't help it, but I know a word......"

"Only corruption can fight corruption!"
