A flash of morning light illuminated the city-state of Plande, which had been sleeping all night, and the sun, locked by the double rune ring, slowly rose in the sky like a burning wheel, and under the powerful power of Vision 001, the night's non-earthly things finally began to fade.

The shadows in the alleys, the whispers in no man's land, the murmur in the waves along the coast, the void sight in the depths of the alleys, and the haunting dreams.

Shirley opened her eyes.

She looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, saw the sunlight shining through the window next to her, the low cabinet at the head of the bed, and the desk nearby, the clean and tidy cottage was plain, but still much better than where she lived.

She smelled the aroma of food, heard a slight noise in the direction of the kitchen, and she saw Nina falling asleep on all fours in bed, today was a day off, and the girl could sleep as much as she wanted, because she had an "uncle" to rely on, and when she woke up, she had a ready-made breakfast.

Shirley sat up in a trance, and reacted for a few seconds before she fully remembered why she was here, and what she had experienced in her sleep.

Then she pushed Nina next to her: "Nina, get up...... I got up and washed up and had breakfast. ”

Nina replied in a daze, "I'm so sleepy...... I'll sleep a little longer......"

Shirley was a little stunned for a moment, she didn't know what to do next.

Because she had been away from this life for so long, so long that there had been a ravine for eleven years—but she still vaguely remembered that she had been like this and could have been like this.

She slowly climbed out of bed, changed into her clothes, and listened to the movement outside, reminding herself that this was not some peaceful and peaceful nest - it was essentially a lair, and that it was dressed up as such by a subspace shadow and his family......

But this nest feels more "home" than where she and Ah Dog live.

Shirley was a little distracted, but at this moment, Nina's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts: "Wow! It's already this time?! ”

Shirley turned around and saw Nina, whose hair was messy, sitting on the bed with her eyes disheveled, the latter looked up at the window, and then noticed Shirley standing next to her, her head shaking: "Shirley? How did you...... Oh yes, you slept in my house yesterday......"

Then she jumped out of bed, babbling, "Ah, don't say it, I have to make breakfast......"

She was just halfway through her breath when she heard the movement of the kitchen, smelled the aroma of food, and was stunned for a moment before she seemed to wake up to the future: "Oh, my uncle is cooking breakfast today...... Yes, my uncle has been getting better recently...... Oh no! School! Be late for school! ”

Before the words fell, Nina rushed to her desk to pack her things, but she suddenly reacted as soon as she rushed out two steps, and glanced up at the calendar on the bedside table: "Oh no, today seems to be a day off......

Then she spun around in a circle and stuck her head on the pillow again: "Then I'll sleep for two more minutes......

Shirley watched the whole time with a blank face, watching Nina jump out of bed after a series of dazzling operations, and finally returned to the original point as if nothing had happened, and she didn't find a place to interject in the middle, until Nina threw herself on the bed again before she hesitated to lean over, but before she could speak, she saw Nina "Teng" suddenly bounced up again, and the latter stretched her waist hard: "Ah, I woke up." ”

Shirley: "......? ”

"Shirley, what's wrong with you?" Nina turned her head and looked at Shirley energetically, "What's this expression?" ”

Shirley: "...... Waking up like this every morning? ”

Nina was blindfolded: "Huh? How? ”

"That's it......" Shirley gestured, as if she didn't know how to explain to the other person, "you jump up first, then this, then this, and then this and that......"

"Oh, I'm confused when I wake up in the morning," Nina said nodding her head as she went to change her clothes, nodding her head as she went to change her clothes, "but I'm fully awake now!" Oh yes, Shirley, did you sleep well last night? I don't sleep honestly, it doesn't affect you, does it? ”

"I ......," said Shirley, when a flurry of memories came flooding back, of the closed cabin, of the morning, of the departing footsteps and the locked door, and of the ghostly hounds that broke in...... But after that, it was an incredible adventure, a bold exploration.

It's a little spooky and a little scary, but ...... It's pretty impressive.

"I slept well," she smiled, "Actually, I'm pretty dishonest when I sleep, and Dog always says that sooner or later I'll fall asleep and tear my bed apart." ”

"Uncle used to say the same about me," Nina changed her clothes, yawned at the end, and stepped forward to take Shirley's hand and walked to the door, "Let's go, let's eat first, I'm a little hungry." ”

Shirley was dragged out the door in such a daze, and then saw Duncan coming out of the kitchen, who was wiping his hands on his apron, apparently just finished cooking.

"Mr. Duncan......" Shirley was subconsciously a little nervous again, although she saw it with her own eyes, but thinking of such an existence cooking in the kitchen just now, she always felt that this thing was unusual, but soon, she suppressed this disobedience, and honestly bowed her head to say hello, "Good morning." ”

Just like the big guy commanded, treat this place as an ordinary place, and then be a guest here like a normal person.

Although she herself had no idea what it would be like to be a guest at someone's house normally, it was always right to say hello in the morning.

"What do you eat in the morning?" Nina was already walking towards the kitchen, poking her head behind Duncan as she went, "It smells so good!" ”

"I fried some sausages, I bought them when I came back yesterday," Duncan said casually, then pressed Nina's head and forced her in the direction of the bathroom, "Wash your hands first!" ”

Then he glanced at Shirley again, and inserted his waist: "You too, don't stand stupidly, wash your hands together, and wash your face by the way!" ”

Shirley was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed Nina to wash her hands and face, and then returned to Duncan after washing first, and opened her hand: "...... Washed clean. ”

She was embarrassed, and suddenly felt a little silly: as a person who was about to become an adult, after washing her hands in the morning, she showed the adults like this, not so much seventeen as a seven-year-old child—she didn't know why her brain suddenly twitched.

But Duncan didn't care about this, he just nodded, and as he turned and walked towards the kitchen, he asked as if casually, "How did you sleep?" ”

Shirley lowered her head: "Well, it's okay...... Better than before. ”

"Did the injuries you suffered in the dream affect reality?" Duncan asked again.

Shirley was stunned, and then suddenly remembered that she seemed to have been whipped by that strange attacker in her dream, and she quickly raised her left arm, only to see a faint scar!

Due to the strong self-healing ability, the scar had almost healed at this time, and he didn't even feel anything, but there was no doubt that when he was injured in the dream last night, his body in reality was definitely injured in the same way!

And she was trapped in a dream at the time, so even if her body was injured in the real world, she couldn't wake up.

Duncan saw the marks on Shirley's arm, his gaze froze slightly, and then nodded slightly.

The phenomenon that is not common sense, but it is not beyond expectations.

That weird dream...... It couldn't have been a dream.

"It seems that being injured in that dream will also affect reality at the same time," he said to Shirley very seriously, "In the future, if you don't have my company, don't explore that dream on your own, your combat power is very strong, but for that monster that will split, the effect is not good." ”

Shirley nodded hurriedly: "Well, I know." ”

Duncan thought for a moment and added, "Also, if you are trapped in that nightmare again, you can call me directly." ”

Shirley was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't react a little: "Calling you?" ”

"Call me by name, the full name I told you in my dreams," Duncan said lightly, "or, call the Lost Country—preferably next to a medium with mirrored properties, such as glass or mirror, so that I can hear more clearly." ”

Shirley listened, suddenly reacting to something, and at the same time, through the spiritual connection with Ah Gou, she also heard a burst of nervous emotions from Ah Gou's side.

"Are you...... Do you want me to be your dependent? She raised her eyelids and asked nervously and tangledly.

"I don't know what a family member is, and I don't ask you to give anything, but you're a friend of Nina's and you're working with me right now—just take care of it."

Shirley took a breath, but didn't dare to answer rashly, and at this moment, Nina's cheerful voice suddenly sounded from the kitchen door: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Don't answer me now," Duncan whispered to Shirley, then glanced up at Nina, "Why did it take so long to wash your hands?" ”

"The eye droppings in the corners of the eyes can't be cleaned," Nina rubbed her eyes, "it hurts a little bit......"

"Drink more water these two days," Duncan glanced at the girl helplessly, and then asked, as if inadvertently, "By the way, did you have that dream again last night?" It's the dream of standing on a high place overlooking the fire. ”

"No," Nina thought for a moment and shook her head, "I dreamed last night that I had a horse in my belly, and then a cow, but it sank...... Uncle, why did you suddenly ask this? ”

"It's nothing, just remembering that the psychiatrist is coming to visit today," Duncan shook his head, putting away a moment of thought, "Let's eat." ”
