[Rat Cat] Eternal Night

Happy days always fly by.

On this day, Bai Yutang, like before, accompanied Zhan Zhao who finally came out of the palace to patrol the streets.It was almost noon, and he was thinking about where to drag the cat to look for food, when the whole world suddenly flashed, and the ground trembled inexplicably.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand violently, grabbed Zhan Zhao's arm to stand firm, and closed his eyes forcefully.He saw tiny air bubbles coming out from between the blue bricks under his feet, rising slowly—a sign of rising!That's right, today is the No.20 seven days of his latent dream, almost the longest time he can control.

"Yutang?" Zhan Zhao supported the knight in white, and sat down at a side stall, "You look bad, is it because you're not feeling well?"

Bai Yutang frowned, and the cold sweat broke out layer by layer.He didn't dare to speak, feeling that he would spit out a wet goldfish as soon as he opened his mouth, so he could only try his best to suppress this feeling of boredom.

Are you leaving?But he still has a lot of things to say to the cat...

Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, then asked softly, "Are you... are you going back to the top?"

Bai Yutang raised his head and stared at Zhan Zhao.He found it incredible, how could the person in the dream know his true origin?

Zhan Zhao smiled gently: "Then...you can go."

No!Bai Yutang shook his head, he still wanted to have dinner with Zhan Zhao, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time!

The water bubbles rising from the ground became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more water bubbles, and the entire Bianliang was submerged in crystal clear bubbles.It's a pity that only he, Bai Yutang, can see this miraculous scene. The sound of rumbling tides can be heard in the distance—the time is coming.

Bai Yutang raised his hand to push away a blister floating on Zhan Zhao's official hat, his face was full of reluctance, why can't it last longer? !

"Go." Zhan Zhao leaned over with a smile, soft lips tapped the corner of Bai Yutang's mouth, "I'll wait for you."

"Pfft!" Bai Yutang's eyes widened in surprise, and he spat out a red and white goldfish. As soon as the fish left, it floated and swam towards Zhan Zhao, wagging its beautiful big tail on his nose.

Stupid, what are you playing, people can't see it!

Bai Yutang only felt that his body became lighter, he was slowly rising, no, it should be said to be floating...

The cat... the young man in white has already floated to the height of the roof, and the surrounding crowd is full of people, and the bustle is still there, but no one has noticed the elegant demeanor of the robe.

"Oh, by the way, you keep this." Zhan Zhao seemed to think of something, found a kit from his body, and threw it into Bai Yutang's arms, "The salary that Zhan just received today, isn't it?" It is your own thing, and it can be used in emergencies."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Bai Yutang's sluggish expression, casually held the goldfish in front of him in his palm, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Leave this with me for now~"

The belated wave smashed hard, Zhan Zhao holding goldfish in his hand, dilapidated food stalls, Suzaku Avenue with people coming and going, and the bustling and lively Bianjing City all went away in an instant, and Bai Yutang, the dream catcher, was acting like usual again. , alone in the ocean of subconscious ups and downs.

What a fragile dream!

Bai Yutang licked the corner of his mouth with endless aftertaste, and then pressed the hard lump in his arms, feeling warm in his heart—no matter what Zhan Zhao knew, and where he knew it from, he would always be on his side, wouldn't he? ?

"Gudu—Gududu——" Tiny bubbles surrounded him and formed the words "-520" in front of Bai Yutang. He smiled knowingly, this time the submerged dream was not too deep, and the depth of 520 was stable enough.It's just... I don't know how long the real world has passed...

There seemed to be a strong light that broke the eyelids and made people dizzy.

"Take it away!" Bai Yutang waved his hand in a daze, as if he had hit something. The glaring thing finally moved away. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, shouting angrily, "What the hell, the eyes are all gone!" I will be blinded by you."

"You finally woke up." Liu Qing's voice was a little tired, "I've been asleep for three days, luckily I didn't go far..."

The drip on the back of the hand was pulled out, an OK bandage was pasted on, and a pair of cold hands walked over Bai Yutang's body, removing the electrode catheters on his body one by one.

Enduring bouts of nausea, Bai Yutang slowly opened his eyes, and a familiar decoration came into view - his own bedroom, it seemed that someone had sent him home.He blinked vigorously, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he had taken a nap in his room, or if he really sneaked into Bianliang and spent some pleasant days with Zhan Zhao.

There seemed to be something heavy, soft and warm shaking on the stomach.Bai Yutang lifted the quilt, and saw a piece of light red "dough" the size of a fist lying limply on his belly.

what is this?

He stretched out a finger and poked something strange—delicate to the touch, it felt so good!

A pair of big hands with plastic gloves reached out, grabbed the light red "dough" and stuffed it into a small metal box.

"According to the regulations, you are not allowed to touch your own work." Liu Qing locked the box and handed over a bottle of nutrient solution, "Drink it."

Bai Yutang took it and drank it down in one gulp. Like many times before, the taste of the nutrient solution is always so touching that people don't want to try it again.

"This is my dream?" He felt his throat was very uncomfortable, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.Bai Yutang closed his eyes and buttoned his button, and smiled slightly: "So this is my dream, it's so cute~"

cute?This doesn't seem like what Bai Yutang would say... Liu Qing trembled, glanced at the small box, and decisively changed the subject: "Are you hungry? Let me go and make you something to eat. What do you want to eat?"

"No need." Bai Yutang put on his clothes, went to the bathroom, and lay on the bed for three days, feeling like he was going to be moldy.

After a while, there was the sound of the shower spraying water inside.

Seeing the light and shadow coming from under the crack of the door, Liu Qing was stunned for a while.He looked at the somewhat messy bed, smiled wryly and turned around to pack his toolbox.He really wanted to help Bai Yutang tidy up the room, and really wanted to touch the quilt that was still warm, but... he didn't dare.

In front of this man who looked like a god, he felt as humble as a speck of dust. He could enjoy the rare benefits when the other party was asleep, but he didn't dare to indulge his love when he was awake.The quarrel three days ago—or his one-sided confession—was already the limit of what he could do.

But Bai Yutang...he...that person...had no reaction, not even a single angry look in his eyes, what does this mean?Liu Qing sighed deeply, he didn't take his outburst seriously at all, he didn't care about him at all!

So what does he care about?

Liu Qing subconsciously looked at the box containing Bai Yutang's dream, did he care about this... care about that person?

The sound of water stopped, and as soon as the door was opened, a burst of lemon fragrance mixed with water vapor came out.Bai Yutang was bare-chested, only wearing a pair of wide-leg trousers.Probably because he had just taken a hot bath, his face was much rosier than before, the water droplets on his hair accumulated, dripped down the ends of his hair to the ground, and gradually fell into Liu Qing's heart...

An inexplicable evil fire rushed into her heart, Liu Qing quickly turned her head and closed her eyes, her heart was already turbulent - such a person!Such an attraction!What does it matter if he cares about me?As long as I care about him!

Bai Yutang didn't seem to notice Liu Qing's strangeness, and took off the clean towel by the door to wipe his hair: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Liu Qing woke up, quietly loosened her clenched fist, and said calmly, "I saw you...haven't eaten yet..."

Bai Yutang glanced at him with raised eyebrows, and said calmly: "I'll go eat later, thank you for sending me back."

Liu Qing was not discouraged by Bai Yutang's estrangement, on the contrary she was a little happy, as long as she had a reaction like now, it was much better to have a reaction than to ignore him.

"Yutang, I know we had some misunderstandings before, and you don't want to pay attention to me, but I still have to tell you something." Liu Qing sat down and held the small box in her arms, "Your latent dream this time is very special, according to common sense, It is impossible to dream while taking drugs."

Bai Yutang tidied up the room on his own. He had asked for a change of inspector before, and the result must come soon.The Overwatch Council has always favored the dream catcher. After the problem is resolved, he and this person will not have any interaction again. Therefore, he doesn't need to pay attention to the last noise.

"When you were dreaming, I checked your medicine box. The medicine the doctor gave you has not been opened. There is also a refrigerator, which is full of coffee, beer and junk food. Yutang, regular diet and following the doctor's advice are the key to cultivating health. A necessary condition for dreams. Your irregular work and rest will cause serious consequences, and the dreams generated will also have serious flaws. So..." Liu Qing raised the small box in his hand, "This little guy needs to undergo a secondary test to avoid carrying deadly germs ..."

"Give it back to me if you don't want it." Bai Yutang's eyes burst into flames, this was the first time Zhan Zhao gave him something, and he didn't expect to suffer from these files.

"This is impossible. The author can't keep his own dream. If the dream of the same source is too close, it will cause an explosion."

"..."

Twenty years ago, a dream catcher created a pair of twin dreams. This was very rare and precious at the time when dreams were extremely scarce. How many people can be comforted by one more dream.However, before people had time to rejoice, the two dreams of the ringing bell began to resonate, and finally...an explosion was triggered, and a tall building was razed to the ground, and no one present was spared.

Since then, the Overwatch Council has made a rule: dream catchers are not allowed to capture unstable dreams, so as to avoid splitting dreams when they float up.In addition, researchers also found that different dreams created by the same dream catcher also have unstable factors, so they should not be placed in the same area.

A dream catcher, as long as he still has the ability to catch dreams, he can't keep his dreams, but if he loses the ability to catch dreams, what's the point of keeping his dreams?Bai Yutang laughed at himself, if he could never see Zhan Zhao again, all the souvenirs would lose their value.

"..."

"You need to rest and have psychological counseling." The other party's silence made Liu Qing more confident, and he said with certainty, "You don't need to worry about these, I will help you make sure." As long as you listen to me That's fine.

"Finish?" Bai Yutang smiled coldly, and opened the door, "Please finish your speech."

"Yutang..." The inspector stood up holding the small box, feeling that something was wrong, "You..."

"go out."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and you have a good rest." Liu Qing's crisp words made Liu Qing not sure what was wrong. He walked out of the room, supported the door that was about to close with one hand, and whispered, "If you really I can't bear to part with this dream, I will find a way to let you watch it again before assigning..."

"No need." Bai Yutang's stern face was as cold as ice, "The idea in your heart will always be just an idea."

? !

"White……"

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut with a bang.

Liu Qing was staring blankly at the closed door, bit her lip, and decided to go back first before making other plans.When he handed the metal box back to the Overwatch Council and entered the work records, he suddenly heard a “ding dong——” sound from the communicator, and a message popped up:

"System information: The application for teaming up with inspector Liu Qing (number: csm914) and dream catcher Bai Yutang (number: asm275) has been approved. The new team will be formed in three days. Please do not dream during this period."

The documents in his hands were scattered all over the place, and Liu Qing's face suddenly became pale as a dead person...

"Bai Yutang...you...you can't treat me like this...it's not fair..."

The author has something to say: Did you startle when you saw the title?Probably not ^_^

Alright, get rid of Liu Qing's dog skin plaster, but...
