[Online Games] The world is your enemy

How to wake up from the dream?

This is a nonsensical question, because it is common sense to wake up when you realize you are dreaming.

However, Xue Pei has been having nightmares for several days in a row. He clearly knows that he is dreaming, but he just can't get out of it.Those things that troubled him were played over and over again in the dream, and finally became a limp mess.

The so-called thinking day by day and dreaming at night... In fact, in the final analysis, it was because he couldn't let go.

How can I wake up from my dream?

A strange idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

——Or... pinch your own face?

When this idea came up, he was taken aback by himself.

The action of "pinching face" comes from an unpopular RPG game called "Dream Diary".He downloaded that game a long time ago but was not keen on it, because the game itself was too depressing.

Xue Pei kept the game on his hard drive for a few days, and finally deleted it because he couldn't stand the overall atmosphere.Later, the only thing I remembered most clearly was the setting of "you can wake up by pinching your face"...

It seems unreliable to imitate this setting, but Xue Pei still tried.

He raised his hand and pinched his cheek.

In the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes from reality.

"call……"

He sat up, panting heavily.

As a result, the door was quickly pushed open, and Xue's mother's voice came from outside: "Why are you awake? It's only six o'clock."

"It's okay, I had a nightmare." He turned his head and shouted.

Because of "physical problems that require recuperation", he is often ordered to return home these days instead of staying in the dormitory.

Xue Pei opened the curtains and took a look, and found that the sun hadn't fully come out yet, and the sky outside was still as bright as in the early morning.

He heaved a long sigh.

"This fake face pinching method is really effective..." He muttered in a low voice, thinking that he couldn't think of any other way to get out of the dream, so he tried it, but he didn't expect that the things he learned in this game were really good. useful...

and many more……

Dreamland... a game?

Xue Pei jumped up suddenly, feeling as if he had captured something important.

I seem to be able to control my dreams to some extent...

Every nightmare is so real and clear that it drives him crazy, and he can always maintain a clear self-awareness in the dream... And he can also get the exact effect by using the gesture of pinching his face.

This mode of using thoughts to issue commands and then receiving effects...

——Isn't this exactly the same as when he was asking for team formation and dialogue in the game world?

During deep sleep and dreaming, his consciousness -- or something like his soul -- is also out of his body.When he transmigrated into the game world, the outside body was in a deep coma state of unconsciousness.Isn't this similar to dreaming?

He felt his breathing quicken.

According to this logic, if he continues to push his dream in a certain direction... Will he be able to pass through his dream—from then on to travel between reality and the wilderness?

this afternoon.

A message popped up from Shui Tian Zhi Lan's screen.

[I'm a vest]: Long time no see... I want to ask you for a favor.

[Shui Tian Zhi Lan]: Who?

This private chat message came from a new account just registered today, using the strange name "I am a vest".So he sent a message to ask the other party's origin, but he was surprised to find that this was the Xue Pei who had disappeared for a long time...

That guy...has come back again?Shui Tianzhilan soon heard the other party's request, saying that he hoped to find someone to go to a certain designated coordinate at a certain time.

It's not difficult—at least it's not difficult for Shuitian Zhilan, because it happens to be his dear sister's favorite game content.To be honest, even Shui Tianzhilan doesn't know why his cousin is so keen on jumping off cliffs and running around. He has been tossed by this special hobby for a long time, and he already regrets that he brought his cousin to play games.

As soon as my cousin heard him tell what happened, she immediately became excited.She snatched Shui Tianzhilan's keyboard, and then started talking to the "I am you know"——

[Shui Tian Zhi Lan]: You are Xue Pei, right?Where are you little Pepe?Why did you change your number?

[Shui Tian Zhi Lan]: And your master who is also very researched on cliff jumping... He has not appeared for a long time just like you. O(>﹏<) o

[Shui Tian Zhi Lan]: What's the matter?Where do you want me to wait?You can just say it, if it is the strange coordinates you just discovered, I will definitely agree.Hurry up, just say it~~~~

There was silence for a long time, and then they replied... "You are the end of Qingping, right?"

[I'm a vest]: ... I knew you were stealing your brother's number again.

Xue Pei sat in the Internet cafe and looked at the computer screen, and said to the girl Qingping who had an account of Shuitianzhilan.

Just like before, every time Shuitian Zhilan suddenly changed into the voice of a brain-damaged girl full of wavy lines and emojis, he must have been snatched away by Qingping Zhimo.

He touched the keyboard subconsciously.

Some people say that in the online world, the friendship between netizens is calculated in seconds.

Qingping Zhimo didn't know him very well, and after he disappeared for more than 20 days, this little girl actually started showing cuteness to him without saying a word... To be honest, this is not easy.

He sat in front of the computer, thinking that his ups and downs were all related to Internet cafes.

A few days ago, it seemed that I had cyberphobia and didn't touch the computer no matter what...it came back today.

The reason for coming back is...he made it.

Yes, it worked.

He tried to make himself dream of the real wilderness world, but the first few times it didn't work as expected... He had all kinds of strange scenes in his dreams, so he immediately pinched his face, woke up, and went back to sleep again.

After repeating this several times, he found that he was tossing himself so hard that he couldn't fall asleep.In the end, he swallowed two sleeping pills for himself before re-entering the dreamland.Then he continued to work hard, trying to find a way to find the feeling of returning to the game world, subconsciously trying to control his dreams.

After such a morning, Xue Pei almost let himself sleep until he was sick.As a result, after many efforts, he finally received results.

When he entered the dream world for the last time, he saw that strange data space.

There are scene models distorted into slices, or disturbing blips and characters everywhere...

——This was the last sight he saw before he was kicked out of the game world.

He stood motionless on the spot, and after a while, a clearer scene floated up little by little.Trees and rocks appeared around him... It was as if the process of what happened the day he disappeared was reversed, and he returned to the wild world through that strange space.

"So it's considered...successful?" He whispered to himself.

Looking at the surrounding scene, Xue Pei knew that this time he was the completely abnormal little ghost Xue Pei again... He tried to think of the idea of ​​"depending on his attributes", so the attribute panel before leaving appeared on his screen again. before.

School: Taixuguan.

Then there is the set of three-line skills exclusive to Yujizi.

Everything is business as usual.

He blinked his eyes very slowly, then resolutely raised his hands and squeezed his face to return to reality.

Xue Pei was not dazzled by his success.

He knew that there was actually another possibility—maybe he didn't have any superpowers to control dreams at all, and it was all because he thought too much and had hallucinations.Maybe just like what his classmates worried about him, maybe he really has a mental problem?

So in order to eliminate this possibility, he had to prove that his dream walking ability really existed - that's why he went to the Internet cafe and registered a new account to ask Qingping Mo for help.

As long as he travels to the Great Desolate World in his dream, he can still see him at the end of Qingping... that proves that this is not an illusion caused by his mental problems.

"So... help me verify it?" That's why he ran back to the Internet cafe, opened a new account and chatted privately with Shuitian Zhilan and Qingpingzhimo to ask for help.To be honest, even if he didn't get in touch with these two people, he would find a way to hire a passerby to help him.

Please help verify it.

Then I can go back...to find that person.

The author has something to say: Xue Pei’s two real golden fingers have finally been thrown out...Special Ability 1: Dream Walk...Special Ability 2: Squeeze Face...Okay, I admit to transplanting from "Dream Diary" It's a bit embarrassing to pinch my face here, but I don't know why I wrote it very happily...
