[Rat Cat] Eternal Night

When Bai Yutang returned to the bedroom, Zhan Zhao hadn't returned yet.He took off his coat, pulled off his boots, threw himself on the bed, and organized his thoughts while no one was around.

Dreams are notoriously difficult to control.

Facing the huge amount of intricate information, the novice dream catcher has no way to start. He can only let himself be swallowed by the dream, and after waking up, he can't remember that he had dreamed at all.This requires the guidance and care of the Overseer. For this reason, the Overwatch Council has compiled a set of relatively safe training models to help novice dream catchers exercise their control ability.

But after a period of training, they can only keep calm in the dream and realize that they are in the dream.You must know that even experienced and skilled dream catchers can hardly completely control the direction of their dreams, let alone get something from them.

This shows how powerful Bai Yutang is. He is a rare dream catcher with a strong talent. He can swim in the sea of ​​dreams since he was six years old, and he can achieve something in dreams when he was eight years old.The stability and continuity of his dreams are almost unmatched, and he can modify the speed of the dreams according to his own preferences.

However, the other side of stability is singleness. His dreams have a single plot, and there are rarely multiple characters with distinctive personalities. Therefore, the dream crystals he can get are also relatively small, and the radiation ability is limited.

Although Bai Yutang was not distressed about this kind of thing, he was not very satisfied either.He has always hoped to outline the appearance of his family, how could a single flat dream provide such a possibility?

Fortunately, there is Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao is the first full-bodied figure that appears in his dream, and he brings out the extremely beautiful part of Bai Yutang's dream.Because of Zhan Zhao, he has a family, a partner, and even unprecedented faith—he finally has the opportunity to touch everything he once longed for.

After breaking through the bottleneck, his harvest can be so great.It's only been a few days, and his experience in the dream is so rich.Although the passage of time in the dream was not so exaggerated, it was far faster than the real world, and the unexpected surprises in the dream were enough to make him addicted.

Although the latent dream this time was expected, it was also a bit hasty.I thought it would take two days to get in touch with the new supervisor, so Bai Yutang didn't report the new work plan. Of course, he didn't need to worry about these things before—Liu Qing still has advantages—now, Pang Xiaodie has just finished it after all. In terms of training, there are many places that need to be pointed out.Alas, now I just hope she can take good care of her body.

"Yutang, you're back, how is your lord?" Zhan Zhao came back quickly, followed by Gongsun Ce, who was still holding a pot of soup in his hand, and he could still smell the smell of medicine from a long distance away.

"I heard Xiao Zhan said that you have a fever, so I made a medicine, and you drink it while it's hot." Gongsun Ce handed the tray to Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang hurriedly jumped up: "Cat, Mr. Gongsun, I'm already cured, I don't need to take medicine anymore!"

"Oh? Didn't you still have a fever just now? Mister's medicine is a bit bitter, but good medicine is good for the disease." Zhan Zhao approached with the medicine cup in his hand, "Yutang, don't hide your illness from medicine."

What is tabooing diseases and avoiding medicine? That monster scholar just wants to torture me to death.Seeing Gongsun Ce's optimistic face, Bai Yutang knew the crux of the problem, and put his palms together in a gesture of forgiveness: "Please, cat, I'm so good, just let me go." If I had known, I shouldn't have To tease this thin-skinned cat, if you want to tease, you will not tease it in this cat's nest, and there is no one to help him.

But Fifth Master Bai, even if we go to the empty island, there are still more people who help Zhan Zhao than help you. Have you forgotten the Ding Shuangxias who are eyeing the next door Mohua Village~

"Let's put the medicine on hold for now, and drink it later." Probably seeing someone's displeasure, Zhan Zhao smiled, put the tray on the table, and invited Mr. Gongsun to take a seat. If there is something to do, please trouble Yutang to sit with Mr. Gongsun for a while."

He smiled apologetically, turned and left, and closed the door behind him.

Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun Ce in a little surprise. In his impression, the head secretary of the Kaifeng Mansion was even more difficult to please than Mr. Bao.

"Bai Yishi, I have something to ask." Gongsun Ce cupped his hands.

"Mr. Gongsun, but it's okay. If there is anything that can help, Bai is obliged." Bai Yutang hurriedly stood up and turned sideways to avoid it.Just a joke, even if it wasn't for Zhan Zhao, would he dare to accept this gift?

"Okay, I hope you can always remember this sentence." Gongsun Ce sat down at the table and gave each other a cup of tea, "The fate of all of us is in the hands of you, Bai Yishi, right?"

Bai Yutang smiled uncomfortably: "This...Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Bai doesn't understand what you mean..." What should I do? !This is something he has never encountered in Qianmeng for many years. The person in the dream actually touched the essence of the dream? !And more than one person!

Thinking of this, the small hut suddenly shook violently, and the tip of his nose seemed to be able to smell the salty smell of the tide.

"Xiao Zhan and I know where Bai Yishi came from." Gongsun Ce pushed the tea in front of Bai Yutang, "Drink some tea and relax. Kaifeng Mansion will not do despicable things, and Xiao Zhan will not betray you." A friend." He looked up at the unhappy young man, curled his lips, "Oh, and I won't betray my sweetheart."

"Uh... I'd like to borrow your words from Mister." Bai Yutang picked up the teacup as he said, and took a sip slowly.Well, Gongsun Ce is right, Zhan Zhao won't harm him, so he has nothing to worry about.

"So, Gongsun Ce will be blunt." Seeing that he was so thick-skinned, Gongsun Ce didn't want to talk around anymore, "Have you ever heard of Pang Tong?"

"Pang Tong?" Bai Yutang frowned and compared the characters in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't find who this person was.

"Maybe in your world, he doesn't have that name." Gongsun Ce quickly added, "In your world, he might have changed his name."

Or it should be said that in the dream, that person did not use the same name.

Not everyone would be as proud as Bai Yutang, who would not even change their name, even in a dream.

"Huh? Isn't he the same person as you?" Bai Yutang was a little surprised, but the dreams of every dream catcher are closed and independent. The character in his dream, Gongsun Ce, can actually know people outside the dream?

Wait, think of Gongsun Ce's ability to freely switch age images, it is not impossible to travel through dreams.

"Well, try a different look." Bai Yutang said hesitantly, "This name you know is useless, what about the other you? Maybe there are other clues."

"It makes sense!" The middle-aged uncle Mei suddenly realized when he heard the words, and quickly closed his eyes.Hua Guang grew from his feet, revealing a handsome face after the hair crown was removed.The young man didn't open his eyes, but tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. After a while, he slowly uttered a name: "Pang... Yuanying, have you heard of it?"

"Pang Yuanying?!" Bai Yutang stood up abruptly, knocking down the round stool in surprise, "The person you are looking for is Pang Yuanying?!"

The handsome young man also got up in surprise: "You know him?!"

know? !How could you not know... He was once the greatest hero in their world.

Pang Yuanying, or Pang Tong, is a long-renowned dream catcher and the only dream catcher recruited by the military because of a stable supply. Every military camp has at least one of his crystals.Today, when the development of science and technology has stagnated or even regressed due to literature and art, the crystallization of dreams can affect people's emotions, allowing human beings to retain their humanity and prevent them from becoming beasts.The more powerful the dream catcher, the more powerful the influence of the dream crystallization created.

Different from Bai Yutang's small dream, Pang Tong's dream is grand and magnificent. Only one dream crystallization can ensure the emotional stability of a legion, while others need at least ten.On the battlefield, Pang Tong can lift the spirits and boost morale-this is the magic weapon of the army.

Pang Tong is the highest-ranking dream catcher, and his dream crystallization once controlled the emotions of several people around him.This made the military ecstatic. If it could be used to create an iron-blooded army that is not afraid of life and death, what a great achievement it would be.

Of course, this was before the "dream terror", after which all the sweet dreams turned into nightmares.

Even the most powerful dream catcher cannot always retain the ability to hide dreams. Most dream catchers will gradually lose the ability to create dream crystals, and become slightly better than ordinary people who can dream.They were born in the dream, grew up in the dream, and finally passed away peacefully in the dream.

Jingmeng is different. Dreamcatchers of Jingmeng will lose their ability. Not only can they no longer hide their dreams, they can't even get close to their own dream crystallization. The explosion caused by the resonance between them.

Pang Tong's situation was even worse. His dream crystallization changed drastically after the startling dream——

"What change?" Gongsun Ce has already calmed down, and he seems to have an inexplicable...sadness after turning back into a middle-aged handsome uncle.

"I don't know, the military has sealed up all the news." Bai Yutang was a little frustrated, "But Pang Yuanying is fine, he is still under strict protection." It's right... in the nursing home near the orphanage... four Brother often takes him to the nursing home where he lives...

"Protection?" Gongsun Ce sneered as if he had heard something funny, "They will still protect Pang Tong, so what value can be squeezed out of him?"

This... Bai Yutang frowned. Gongsun Ce obviously knew something, maybe his subconscious knew something, but he forgot it later.

"Mr. Gongsun, is there something wrong with Pang Yuanying?" Bai Yutang asked tentatively. He never touches the edge of the dream. If Gongsun Ce is really a manifestation of his subconscious mind, "he has something to do with Yan Chasan ?!"

"Thank you for telling me his whereabouts." Gongsun Ce smiled, but that smile was uglier than crying.He picked up the medicine cup on the table and stood up slowly, "Bai Yutang, you are really, very lucky."

Lucky?What does this mean?Bai Yutang scratched the back of his head: "Can you stop being sloppy?" Why do one or two talk in circles...

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it here." Gongsun Ce looked up slightly out of the window, "This is your world, but it's not completely under your control. Go to Pang Tong and tell him about Yan Chasan. .and for me..."

There was a flash of water in Gongsun Ce's eyes, he twitched the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and poured the medicine cup over: "Sorry..."

"Hey, Mr. Gongsun, what are you doing?!" Bai Yutang couldn't dodge before he was splashed, and in an instant, the scene in front of him rippled and became unreal.

It's a sign of rising!

How is it possible, there are still a few days, why are you leaving now? !

In the shaking mirror image, he saw Zhan Zhao pushing the door and entering, his expression was both surprised and clear.The man reached out and tore off the hair tie, and stuffed it into his palm together with the jade on the belt.

"Cat! What's going on?!" Bai Yutang couldn't stand anymore, and the two people who were equally sad collapsed before his eyes. Immediately afterwards, a huge wave of several feet hit him head-on!

"Say it for me, say it, say it... I... I love..."

Whose voice passed through the water curtain, spread into the vast ocean, and finally disappeared without a trace.

"Cat—!" Bai Yutang took a deep breath and sat up suddenly from the bed. Immediately, he heard the sound of something being brought down by his ears, and the back of his hand ached.

"Bai Yutang, you're awake! Ah! Why are you so careless!" Pang Xiaodie ran in bouncingly, seeing Bai Yutang's drip, hurried over to do emergency treatment.

Bai Yutang panted violently, and looked at his uninjured left hand - there was a soft and warm thing there.

Zhan Zhao...

"Oh, why did you pick it up!" Pang Xiaodie finished treating the wound, and then came to deal with the newborn dream crystal.Seeing her carefully holding the dream crystal into the test box, Bai Yutang couldn't help but tremble.

At that moment, he almost felt an impulse to hold Zhan Zhao in his arms.If he hugs that most precious treasure and doesn't let go, can he, can he bring warmth back to this cold world?

No, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't afford to gamble.

He was afraid that the man would turn into a lifeless dream crystal in the test chamber, never to be with him again.Bai Yutang has never been so clearly aware that he and Zhan Zhao live in two worlds, and it is impossible to live together in his world.

Bai Yutang thumped the bed hard, causing Pang Xiaodie to jump.

The little girl who was an inspector for the first time ran over again to help him check his body: "Bai Yutang, what are you doing? Why don't you cherish yourself so much!"

"Pang Xiaodie!" Bai Yutang held her hand and said in a deep voice, "Help me, I want to see your brother."

The author has something to say: both "Young Bao Qingtian" and "Bao Qingtian" have Gongsun Ce, so it is set that he is a very special person, even more special than Mr. Mao.
