On July 13, after leaving Longcheng for 12 days, the four finally arrived at the high-speed rail station. But this time, it's no longer about going home, because it's gone. They had to go to Night City to stay for a long time, but the thought of seeing that General Lin Jingfeng again, Ye Ning felt a little nervous in his heart.

The four of them bought tickets and quickly got on the high-speed train. At this time, there were not many people on the high-speed train, just like they used to go back to Dragon City. In the city on the edge of the beast tide, there are very few people who want to go, and every time you go back to the city, you don't need to buy a ticket in advance, which is also a beautiful thing.

The four of them didn't talk about anything in the car, and when they thought that they were going to the front line next, except for Ma Jiao, who was a little excited, the other three had their own thoughts. But Ma Jiao gradually became sleepy because he cleared the stand-alone game all night last night, and fell asleep in the car first.

Ye Ning turned on his mobile phone, and at this moment he could be regarded as having a signal and could see the message. There are really a lot of missed messages during this time. Teacher Li Yin has already sent him many messages:

"Well, okay, remember me to reply to my message when you're done with the matter. July 4, 14:27. ”

"Why haven't you heard from you for a few days, have you forgotten? If you see it, please reply. July 10, 18:57"

"Ye Ning, you were scared of me, hurry up and reply when you get the news. July 11, 16:42"

After Ye Ning saw it, he knew that he had worried the teacher, so he hurriedly replied: "I'm fine, there was no signal on my mobile phone in those days, I'm sorry to worry about you>< now I just have a signal, and I have already taken the car to Night City to prepare for my life." ”

As soon as Ye Ning's message was sent, within a few seconds, Li Yin replied: "It's okay, I've been busy in Night City recently, you can go back to recover with peace of mind, just follow the command." When we have some free time, we can make an appointment to meet. ”

"Uh-huh." After Ye Ning read the news, he continued to scroll through the news, and as soon as he saw the news of General Lin Jingfeng, he felt inexplicably disgusted in his heart.

"After returning, the military camp near the deserted city in the south of Night City was restored to life in the small bungalow at the gate of the barracks. July 5, 20:49"

After flipping through the news, Ye Ning began to think about some things. The three of them were still in good spirits, each thinking about their own thoughts. But drowsiness is contagious, and gradually the three of them also gradually yawned, and the thoughts in their minds became more and more rotten, and drowsiness gradually came to the hearts of the three of them.

Just when the three of them were sleepy and confused, Ma Jiao suddenly woke up from his seat, his face was panicked, his pupils dilated, he was constantly panting, he was emotional, and his two hands slapped on the armrest next to him, and there was a violent sound on this empty and quiet high-speed train.

The three of them were awakened by Ma Jiao's whole action, and the sleepiness in their hearts dissipated instantly, and the whole person was in a state of mental tension. Sitting in front, Ye Ning and Yang Ling also looked back at Ma Jiao, looked at Ma Jiao's appearance and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"I, I had a weird dream." Ma Jiao spoke panting, his face was still flustered and unnatural, this was the first time several people had seen Ma Jiao's embarrassment since they knew Ma Jiao.

"It's a nightmare to look at you like this, right?" Yang Ling asked sweetly with a smile on his face.

Ma Jiao's expression still did not ease, but he quickly shook his head and denied it, and said in a nervous voice: "No, it's not a nightmare, but this dream makes me feel a sense of fear, and goosebumps keep getting all over my body." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Jiao slowly swallowed his saliva: "And this dream seems to be continuous, every time I sleep, I will quickly dream of this scene." It's been like this since you did that ability fusion experiment, haven't you had that experience? ”

The three of them shook their heads, their sleep was very sound. Instead, Zhou Chen raised a key question: "Do you have this dream every time?" Can you remember the details? ”

"Yes, I remember it clearly, every detail is like engraved in my mind, and I can't shake it off." Ma Jiao continued to gasp and responded.

That's weird. Logically speaking, dreams are due to incomplete inhibition processes in the brain during sleep, and various illusions appear in the consciousness. It is a manifestation of the subconscious in the depths of the human heart, but after the dream wakes up, it will become blurry, and only some fragments can be remembered, and the best case is to remember the whole general process, and as for remembering every detail clearly, it is no different from nonsense.

However, judging from Ma Jiao's current performance, it didn't seem to be, so Ye Ning asked with interest: "Anyway, what kind of dream did you have that can scare you like this." ”

Ma Jiao took a long breath, calmed down, and slowly spoke: "In my dream, I was flying in the air. With no wings and no technological equipment, he walks there completely by his own strength, and can even use the air as a step, walking up and down at will, just like normal walking. ”

"And I, I'm in a fiery red space, and as long as I can see everywhere, it's all fiery red. Directly below me, there was a sea of magma, emitting a wave of boiling heat, and I could feel the heat in the middle of the air. Ma Jiao said this, and when he looked closely, there were really some sweat drops on his forehead, and he didn't know if it was a sweat caused by fear, or if he really felt the heat in his dream.

Ma Jiao continued: "I'm not where this is, I want to go out, so I keep walking in the direction of going up (probably like going up the stairs). But this place seems to have no borders, and in my dreams several times, I can't seem to walk to the end, and it didn't take long for me to have a headache, and then I woke up instantly. ”

"Then I felt that I would never be able to get out of this space, that there should be no end to it. I made a bold attempt, and in my dream, I condensed my abilities, gathered thunder, and unleashed one of my strongest lightning strikes in the sky, but I felt like I didn't have anything in the thunder. ”

"Then, the void responded to me with a thunderbolt, and the thunder was very thin, without stirring up any waves, and it looked like it was not murderous. I summoned my defenses to resist, but in an instant I collapsed, the thunder was definitely the strongest move I had ever seen, and in one move, a large hole appeared in my chest, and I just watched my flesh fly, and then came to my senses. ”

Saying this, everyone seemed to remember that when Ma Jiao was sleeping in a dream a few days ago, he suddenly got up quickly and violently, panting. The movement was very loud, and the three of them who had undergone survival training did not sleep deeply, so they woke up easily, and after watching Ma Jiao take a breath, he lay down again, thinking that it was a nightmare, and continued to sleep without paying attention. I guess the scene I'm talking about now is the dream of that day.

"Then I went in a different direction, and I mustered up the courage to try to walk under the lava. It was smooth at first, but the deeper I went, the more difficult the heat became, and the closer I got to the lava, the more unbearable it became, and it took me many times before I came into contact with it. ”

"When I got used to the heat and completely submerged my body in it, I realized that there was no cave under the lava. Instead of a dark red patch, there are colorful spots of color, wrapped in red lava, and as the lava continues to flow, the whole lava is under the scene. ”

"I looked down and there was a strange sphere in the deepest part of the lava, a mixture of colors, and I wanted to go deeper and see what it was. Then I remembered a crisp but emotionless female voice next to my ear. ”

"She said, 'Help me.'

Saying this, Ma Jiao stopped, because as he spoke, the female voice sounded again in the depths of his mind: "Don't say it!" ”

This voice came from the depths of Ma Jiao's mind, which means that all the dreams he had were subconscious, just like what he wanted to tell him in the depths of his own brain. Ma Jiao felt that since his subconscious didn't let him continue, then he wouldn't talk about it, and it was estimated that there would be a definite answer in his dream tonight.

"And then?" Ye Ning continued to ask curiously.

"And then I woke up!" Ma Jiao replied confidently.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"I don't know, but I just got goosebumps when I heard these words, and I didn't know why I was scared. In hindsight, it doesn't seem so scary. It's weird. Ma Jiao said boredly, yawned and continued, "I'm still sleepy, continue to sleep." ”

After the three of them heard it, they also turned around helplessly and continued to turn back and prepare for sleep.

And Ma Jiao's remaining dream is also very simple, Ma Jiao felt that the colorful ball trapped a girl, so he tried to attack the colorful ball with lightning, the lightning was melted by the lava, and Ma Jiao's colorful spots sent out lightning, and Ma Jiao's flesh and blood flew again.

Ma Jiao also didn't know why his subconscious didn't let him talk about this experience. Maybe this experience makes it easy to reason about something? But no matter what, Ma Jiao didn't speak, trying to communicate with his subconscious along the way. But it was clear that he could not succeed.

Soon, the high-speed train arrived in Night City. When the four of them got out of the car, they directly took a taxi and walked to the address mentioned in the text message sent to them by Lin Jingfeng. The small bungalow owned by Lin Jingfeng is really obvious, isn't that a large-sized, security room with accommodation!

The four of them nodded to each other and walked slowly towards the security room, faintly hearing some noise in the security room, but the sound was not very loud, and they couldn't hear it clearly. He was about to continue walking forward and knocking on the door, when he heard a deep shout: "Lin Jingfeng!" Can you listen to Lao Tzu?! ”
