"From now on, this is your room."

These were the words that the people behind the Society of the Dead said to her when she was brought in on the first day of sleep.

"This guy is completely different from other children, he doesn't cry or make trouble, and the gloomy look in his eyes when he sees me is really disgusting......"

"I heard that it was a wild child that the chairman picked up from the garbage heap, no wonder he smells so ......"

"I haven't heard her speak, so she won't still be a dumb person, right?"

"I don't care about this kind of child, who of you cares about it......"

"It doesn't matter, this kind of character problem is just cannon fodder......"

……

Several administrators gathered together and muttered, all looking at the girl with disdain and disgust.

The girl was dressed in tattered clothes covered in stains, and her face was dirty, and the only thing that stood out was the pair of sparkling ruby eyes on her face.

The girl was holding a tattered doll in her arms, and turned a deaf ear to the vicious words of the people over there, but looked up at the house in front of her, and memorized the number '14'.

She knew that this was her home for a long time to come.

The girl was the only one who took the initiative to appear in front of these people, and she used the method of pretending to run away and then being recaptured, so that she could be successfully sent here.

Of course, she knew it was a terrible place, and it wouldn't be a good place to get in, but she also knew that it was the only place in the Cook Islands where she could eat and sleep well without having to starve and freeze every day.

Whatever the future holds, at least for now, she'll be much more comfortable here than wandering outside.

In the days that followed, Mianmian began her closed life in this underground factory.

There are more than 100 children in the same batch as her, and she is always the most active one at meal time every day, and the contrast between her gobbling appearance and her sweet appearance is great, coupled with her withdrawn and cold personality, she gradually becomes a 'weirdo' in the eyes of other children.

"Bang Bang ......"

At the time of dinner that day, the plate she had just served with food was accidentally knocked over by a passing boy.

"I'm sorry, sleepy bug weirdos, you don't have anything to eat today! Hahaha! ”

In the face of the malicious sneers of several little boys, the girl just glanced at them indifferently, and suddenly smashed a punch into the face of the boy in charge, and then threw him to the ground, ignoring the punches and kicks of the other children next to her, and kept scratching the boy's face......

Half an hour later, the girl with a blue nose and swollen face picked up the food that had fallen on the ground one by one, ignored the few little boys next to her who were caught in the face of a flower cat and were all breaking down and crying, sat back at the table, and continued to calmly gnaw on the dusty rice balls.

When she was outside, she had to fight with wild dogs every day, and compared with those wild dogs, these little boys in front of her were too weak, just like those small domestic dogs that could only fight with people, and they were fiercer than anyone else when they barked, and more cowardly than anyone else when they hit.

Since then, no other child dares to provoke her casually, and her title among her peers has also been upgraded from 'Sleepy Bug Monster' to 'Red-Eyed Witch'.

Of course, not everyone is disgusted with her, such as the new arrival next door, Fifteen, a little girl named Louise, who doesn't look at her with colored glasses, and Mianmian doesn't mind releasing some kindness to her.

The coldness was just a disguise for her, because she knew that it would allow her to survive here.

The closed life of the underground factory is simple and boring, except for completing some tasks arranged by the administrator every day, the rest of the time can basically do nothing, which is of course a torture for other children who are free by nature, but it is very convenient for sleep, because she suffers from severe narcolepsy, a rare disease, and needs more than 16 hours of sleep a day.

So when other children are playing, she is sleeping, and when others are doing tasks, she is also touching fish and dozing off, and few people can see her awake every day except when eating.

But what everyone doesn't know is that she also has an innate special ability: she can enter other people's dreams when she is asleep, follow the dream owner from the perspective of a bystander, and experience everything in the dream.

Dreams are always much better than reality, so for her, daily life is just a bad nightmare, and only when she sleeps is the real beginning of her day.

However, I don't know if it's because of the special environment in which she lives, since she entered here, the scope of her dream travel has been greatly limited.

She began to frequent, and in and out of the dreams of several people, especially the dreams of a little girl, and she fell asleep seven or eight times out of ten into the same girl's dreams.

It was a little girl with a bobo, and when I first met her, she was wearing a delicate and gorgeous kimono, and she was led by her parents to walk through the bustling night market, watching the fireworks bloom in the sky.

There are some novelties that have never been seen before, Mianmian followed the girl curiously, following her perspective, but she didn't expect the girl in front of her to be aware of it, and suddenly turned around and showed a bright smile to her.

Mianmian was frightened, in other people's dreams, she was always a spectator, no one could see her, and no one could ever notice her, this was the first time that someone had interacted with her in a dream, and she was so frightened that she ran away.

Since then, she has been repeatedly entering the girl's dreams, and after much observation, she is sure that the girl can indeed see her existence and even talk to her.

After a brief exchange, they knew each other's names, the girl's name was Ye Rumeng, who lived in the Land of Oblivion, and was a fool.

Similar preferences and complementary personalities made them quickly become friends, and the things that they could meet in their dreams every day became a secret shared by the two.

Mianmian would follow Ye Rumeng's dreams every day and experience all kinds of things she encountered during the day.

Ye Rumeng has parents who love her, has a wealthy family condition, and has kind teachers, relatives and friends, so her dreams will be almost the same as reality, because reality is happy enough, and there are not too many wishes that need to be made up for by dreams.

All this makes Mianmian envious and longing, and she sometimes thinks that the two of them are so similar, if their birth environments are reversed, maybe she will become a sunny and cheerful girl like her, instead of being as gloomy and sensitive as now, and even has lost the ability to laugh, and only calculation and survival are left in her head.

'Dream is the self of another world', whenever she thinks about it, Mian Mian will instinctively get a sense of satisfaction, as if all the happy moments experienced by the other party will also be conveyed to her in real time.

In the deep darkness of the underground prison, the dream world is like a light of redemption, illuminating her life.

While the other children were tormented by the repetitive and repressive life to the point of mental breakdown, her mental state was unusually stable.

Four years after that.

The children in the surrounding rooms changed batch after batch, but she was the only one, firmly rooted in Ward 14 like a 'nail household', and began to enjoy life here.

However, as time passed, Mian Mian began to be dissatisfied with just being a spectator in the dream world, she wanted to stand by Mengmeng's side really, wear beautiful clothes like her, and walk in the sun.

Especially recently, Mianmian learned some special news from the dreams of several administrators: the people here seem to have finally lost their patience with her as a 'nail household', and decided to arrange a 'final experiment' for her in the near future.

As an 'old bastard' who has lived here for more than four years, he can also enter the Administrator's dream realm from time to time to peep, and of course Mianmian knows what the 'final experiment' means.

That's the final destination of these children who are locked up here, which is basically equivalent to 'death'.

Of course, Mianmian didn't want to die, and after four years, she had actually already considered a plan to escape: her ability to enter the dream realm was actually not only mentally accessible, but also her body could enter the real dream world, but only if she stayed in the backpack space to sleep.

As for the backpack space, as far as she knew, there was only one in the entire underground factory, just above the Gu pool, there was a storage box, open the box, and the backpack space was connected below.

However, above the Gu Pond was the place where the people behind the scenes lived, and it was also the place where the 'monster' lived, and she didn't usually have a chance to get close to it.

Only when the final experiment is carried out will the child be sent to the high platform, and that is her only chance to escape!

Mianmian secretly planned everything when he escaped, and it can't be said that it was seamless, but the success rate was at least seventy percent.

The question is, where does she go after she does escape?

"Yes...... Take me in? ”

On this day, in the dream world, Mianmian mustered up the courage to ask Mengmeng this question.

"What?" The girl looked at her puzzled.

"I mean...... If I show up in the world, I can ...... Live with you? ”

"Really?" The bobo-headed girl's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hmmm......"

"Absolutely!"

Ye Rumeng nodded hurriedly: "I will definitely explain everything to my parents and let them adopt you too!" My father is a very enlightened man, and he will help you with your identity and certification, don't worry. ”

The girl's answer proved that she was not on a whim, but had thought about something similar for a long time, she was fully aware of the situation of Mianmian, and even secretly consulted her family about it.

The girl's answer made Mianmian relax as well, and she smiled after a long absence.

With all the plans ready, the next day of sleep began to wait for the day of the experiment.

Whenever she thinks that she will be able to leave here soon and start a new life in another world, her heart beats faster, and her heart wells up with infinite anticipation.

And the day came a little sooner than expected.

A few days later, Mian Mian was transferred to the West Side Hospital, where she was placed in a double dormitory, where she was placed with another roommate, another subject who would be working with her for the final experiment.

She didn't care about this, because she was already on running away, and whoever came had nothing to do with her.

As a result, when the door of her room was opened that day, it was a figure she knew very well who was thrown in.

Looking at the little girl on the ground with a bloody head and a bruised face, after being shocked, she suddenly felt unprecedented anger.

She walked to the person behind the curtain at the door, clenched her fists, stared at the figure in front of her tightly, and could no longer control her usual indifferent expression, like a female cat guarding a calf, her face was hideous, and she trembled with anger.

"It's amazing!"

The person behind the curtain also looked at Mianmian in surprise, and his expression quickly changed to an interested smile: "You actually show this kind of feeling?" That's a lot of fun...... It seems that the experiment of 14 groups can be looked forward to a little more! ”

"Smack!"

The door was slammed shut mercilessly.

Mianmian hurriedly ran to the girl behind her to check her injuries.

"Mengmeng, how are you?"

The girl with a blue nose and swollen face in her arms, who was very weak, showed a happy smile to her at this time.

"Mianmian, I finally see you......"

"Do you know what this place is?" Mianmian is so angry and helpless, why can he still laugh at such a time.

"I know, it's a bad place...... But isn't it worth rejoicing that my parents are dead, that I have no one to rely on, and that the only one I have in the world is you, and that they have brought me to you? The girl said with a smile.

Mianmian was silent, and her heart was even more guilty, she knew that she had harmed Mengmeng, a person with the same soul...... She should have thought that who better to be her test subject than Mengmeng? If it weren't for her, Mengmeng wouldn't have been targeted, let alone ruined her family.

"Mengmeng, you run!" Mianmian suddenly said firmly.

"Run?"

"Yes, in a few days we will be thrown into a place, then I will let you inherit my body and abilities, I will turn into a shadow ghost, help you stop the others, you just need to take the opportunity to get into that box, and then try your best to go to sleep, you can escape!" In an instant, Mian Mian transferred the escape method he had planned before to Mengmeng's body.

"And this!"

Mian Mian took out a small bag from the bottom of the bed, and inside was a map fragment shrouded in black gas: "This is what I picked up in the garbage dump, and it is something very important to the fool. The people said they couldn't keep it, because it would attract fools, and I picked it up from the dump. ”

"You take this and go find an organization called the Dragon Group and let them protect you!" Mianmian whispered.

"Dragon...... What is it? The little girl asked blankly.

"I don't know, I overheard them talking in my dream, this organization can make the people of the Undead jealous, give them things, they should have the ability to protect you." Mian Mian said.

This was originally the way she left for herself, but now it was all transferred to the little girl, but she didn't feel distressed. The moment she saw that her subject was a dream, she didn't care about her life or death, and it was more important than everything to get her out of here alive.

"What about you?" Mengmeng didn't forget to sleep.

"I ...... It doesn't matter, this world is less than me and more than me, it's all the same......"

Mianmian smiled bitterly, how dare a person who has stayed in the dark all his life dare to step into the light rashly? Everything I've been looking forward to for so long is just a dream after all.

In order to ensure that Mengmeng could escape, in the next half month, Mianmian repeatedly taught her everything she had planned.

Half a month later, the two of them were finally brought to the top of the Gu Pond, and in front of the person behind the scenes, they were pulled into the shadows of the underground, and fell into a world full of twisted lines.

An indescribable sense of oppression came from all directions, and the two girls fell to the ground in an instant with their heads covered, but the shadows under them seemed to be attractive, gathering each other, and finally connecting between the two.

Both of them were trembling with the pain that came to them, but Mianmian still forced a smile: "Don't be afraid, Mengmeng, I will let you live." No matter what I become later, don't be afraid, even if I become a monster, I will definitely protect you......"

"It's a little painful for me...... Meaning ......"

Mianmian smiled dryly and began to try to absorb the pain in the shadow of the dream and bless herself.

However, she soon discovered that she had not been able to absorb her shadow, but that her shadow was getting shorter, and the pain in her body was rapidly decreasing.

Mianmian looked at the girl opposite in surprise: "Mengmeng, what are you doing?" ”

"So that's the pain you've been suffering, it's me who is so naïve......," the little girl looked at her weakly and squeezed out a dry smile.

"Stop! If we continue like this, we will both die, are you going to waste the opportunity I have created for you? Feeling that the pain on her body continued to decrease, Mianmian suddenly became anxious, and every bit of pain she reduced here would be blessed on the girl opposite.

"...... that won't be wasted"

The girl fell to the ground, her body curled up in pain, but she still forced a smile: "I can't do such a complicated thing...... So, it's better for you to run away......"

“…… Don't be afraid, I'll take all the painful memories with you...... You have to take my memories with you, go to your dreams, and live ......"

With the girl's increasingly weak voice, the shadow under Mianmian began to be quickly withdrawn.

The pain receded like a tide, and she suddenly felt more relaxed than ever, and at the same time, a huge sleepiness came over, and she tried to stay awake, but she still couldn't resist the strong reaction of her body, and gradually closed her eyes......

……

"Amazing, isn't it?"

On the high platform, the person behind the curtain stood above the shadow room, watching the various changes in the two girls in the shadow room, and spoke to the hemp pole man behind him with some excitement.

"These two children, like the same person in a parallel world, one was born to stand in the light and the other was born to stand in the shadow, it is really a combination made in heaven...... I have a hunch that today will be the best work ever produced in our church! ”
