nightmare exec

Qi Zhengnan has a "talent" that has never been mentioned to anyone, which is not considered a talent-he is a "dream lucid".

In other words, when he dreams, he knows he is dreaming.

But he hadn't had a dream for many, many years.

This time the dream came very suddenly - he didn't remember when he fell asleep, nor did he know where the dream started.

In short, when he came back to his senses, he found himself in a long, bright white corridor.

His body was moving, but not in a self-walking manner—he found himself confined in a strange torture device that was almost a mummy inner coffin, and the body below the head was covered by a thin metal shell.

Inside the metal shell, his hands were bound by straps in a crossed posture over his chest, and his calves were also tightly bound together.If you feel it carefully, there are several belts around the waist and abdomen, which must be directly fixed to the metal shell.

He was completely immobile, like a mummy that had just been unearthed, and was tilted on a mobile device with hubs, advancing towards the depths of the seemingly endless white corridor.

But he is by no means alone.

Qi Zhengnan soon noticed that on his left and right sides, there were four other "men in white clothes" following suit.

It may be inappropriate to call them "humans".Because each of them has a terrifying height of nearly three meters, and their thin and long bodies are covered with white burqas, like four walking white candles.

Qi Zhengnan tried his best to look up, and the heads of the four men in white were all wearing crow's head masks made of silver. Their beaks were as sharp as machetes and gleamed coldly. Just looking at them from a distance is creepy.

This kind of attire is easily reminiscent of the medieval plague doctor, but when black becomes white and crows become white doves, the feeling of weirdness and ominousness has not diminished in the slightest.

Although Qi Zhengnan knew that he was dreaming, he couldn't remember whether he had encountered these white monsters in reality.To be more precise, at this moment his mind is almost blank.

Unwilling to sit still, he began to test his body, wanting to confirm whether he still had the strength to struggle and resist.

But it never occurred to him that this was a wrong decision.

At first, he just tried to flex and stretch the five fingers of his right hand.However, along with the pulling of the muscles, a subtle restlessness began to spread from the fingertips to the palm, and exploded in the palm; after the conflict reverberated a few times, it began to rush to the wrist again, and went straight to the arm.

It's like... blood.

Although there is no direct evidence, the mutation happened in Qi Zhengnan's own body after all.He had every reason to believe that it was his own blood that suddenly became frenzied, swelling all the way in the direction of his heart.An invisible red tsunami rolled up.

But the bad thing is far more than this one——

Where the blood flows, the muscles also start to frenzy.Lactic acid piled up to a peak in an instant, filling the body with a maddeningly huge soreness.

Immediately afterwards, the neurosensory system was also abnormal.The mild white light in the corridor became bright and dazzling, and the place where the clothing touched the skin was rubbed with hot pain.

He can even clearly hear the rotation of the wheel hub, the impact of the belt buckle, the beating of his own heart, and even the sound of blood surging in the blood vessels...

The brain was the last organ to get out of control, but it drove Qi Zhengnan completely into a frenzy.

The dizziness hit overwhelmingly, followed by all kinds of messy emotions - ecstasy, surprise, fear, disgust, doubt...all of these spewed out, spiraled and entangled again, forming a terrible tornado.

Even in the most difficult dungeon at the legendary level, Qi Zhengnan had never encountered such terrible mental torture.

And just when he was about to resist with all his strength, a white pigeon man suddenly bent down and put the huge beak close to his ear.

"Don't move, don't think, don't resist, forget about yourself."

Accompanied by these few thirteen words, Qi Zhengnan felt a sharp pain in his lower back and spine, as if he had been stabbed hard by a needle.

After another five or six seconds, the injection began to work.The lights softened again, the skin stopped aching, and the brain and heart slowly slid off their peak of euphoria.

But soon, he found that he was sliding from one extreme to another—sight and hearing continued to decline without limit, and his consciousness became hazy and lax.His sweaty body was completely limp, like a mass of raw meat waiting to be dismembered.

The bright world is rapidly shrinking, and just before the darkness swallows everything, Qi Zhengnan heard a series of light but hasty footsteps running towards him.

The next moment, a ginger-colored tabby cat jumped up from behind, and jumped onto the metal shell restraining Qi Zhengnan.It clawed twice with its hind legs, and its front paws firmly hooked the edge of the shell, struggling like this while facing Qi Zhengnan.

"I... will definitely rescue you!"

The tabby cat opened and closed its small mouth, and said, "I will definitely find a way to get you out of this damn place!!!"

Before Qi Zhengnan could respond, he saw a big pale and slender hand descending from mid-air, and the white pigeon man grabbed the yellow tabby cat by the nape of its neck.

The sturdy adult male cat fell into the hands of the giant, and suddenly it was as small as a kitten.But it still struggled stubbornly, its soft body twisted flexibly, and finally managed to escape from the white pigeon man's fingers.When it landed, it turned into a handsome young man with a sad expression.

How could it be Song Yin? !

"Yunshi—!!" Song Yin called out anxiously, but Qi Zhengnan's name was not what he called out.

Qi Zhengnan's lips moved twice, and before he could make a sound, he felt his body suddenly lighten.

An incredible scene happened - he actually saw a phantom that was exactly the same as "Yun Shi" separated from his body and flew towards Song Yin.

Immediately afterwards, the two hugged each other desperately, and disappeared together in Qi Zhengnan's astonished vision.

"Xiao Yin——!!!"

Qi Zhengnan gasped suddenly, struggling almost crazily.

Under his relentless struggle, the whole dream quickly distorted and collapsed, and finally returned to nothingness.

As in the past 700 nights, after waking up, Qi Zhengnan found himself lying on his back on the big bed in the safe house.

It was almost morning, and the light in the unlit room was dim, but there was an indescribable sense of peace of mind.

"...two tigers."

Raising his right arm to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, Qi Zhengnan softly summoned his assistant.

The arrival of the tabby orange cat was so light that there was no sound at all.Until Qi Zhengnan felt a fluffy, warm little thing jump onto the bed, and squatted by his hand with its tail crossed.

"I had a dream, a long-lost nightmare." Qi Zhengnan stroked the cat's glossy fur, silently calming down the lingering fear.

"This is the first dream you've had since you came to Purgatory." The assistant officer has always faithfully recorded this, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Have you encountered any special excitement recently?"

"……No."

Although he said no, Qi Zhengnan knew it very well in his heart - probably because he went to Song Yin's magical little house a while ago, which stirred up the dark memories in his subconscious.

In fact, since that night in the amusement park, Qi Zhengnan clearly felt that something was slowly becoming wrong with him.The most obvious point is that the quality of sleep has deteriorated.

But he didn't intend to tell his assistant officer about these things.

"It's nothing." He rubbed the cat's ears: "Maybe it's because of meeting acquaintances, just get used to it."

"You mean Morpho? I can help you block all information about him."

"No need." Qi Zhengnan let go of his hands and flicked his ears back, "Don't meddle in your own business."

"Or I can also provide you with some drugs to calm the nerves and help you sleep. At the same time, you can properly adjust your daily diet structure and physical exercise plan." The furry assistant continued to give professional advice: "...I also heard that you are in the mall I bought a set of disguise projection device."

"I've bought it. What's the matter?" Qi Zhengnan didn't deny that things like purchase records in the mall couldn't be kept secret from the assistant officer.

"I'm in big trouble." Kitty replied worryingly: "According to the analysis of big data, in the past ten years, this kind of virtual identity device has caused at least 130 cases of split personality among executives around the world. In some extreme cases, the split personality will even backfire on the executive's main personality, causing both sides to suffer."

"……understood."

Qi Zhengnan had to admit that Erhu's words immediately reminded him of the dream just now.

That Yun Shi, who had split from his body alive, disappeared from sight side by side with Song Yin hand in hand.The unspeakable depressive emotion spread out from the dream, forcing him to suffocate.

He pushed the cat away gently, then raised his arms and stared at his palms.

In the dim morning light, he saw the pair of butterfly tattoos still resting on his palm.

It is clearly such a light creation that entrusts the metaphor of the human soul, but it is motionless, like two stiff corpses soaked in water.

Subconsciously, Qi Zhengnan began to repeat a movement - at first he bent his four fingers, and then stretched them again.Once and then again.

And when he realized that he was trying to "resurrect" the butterfly in his palm, Qi Zhengnan immediately clenched his fists gloomily, and sat up from the bed without hesitation.

Two 10 minutes later.

When Qi Zhengnan finished washing and walked into the dining room, a refreshing breakfast ordered by the assistant officer Erhu had been accurately served by the catering department of Purgatory Supermarket, and it was airborne on the dining table.

Qi Zhengnan put his mobile phone on the table stand, slid his finger lightly, and the screen was immediately projected on the clear water wall in front of the dining table.

Before I knew it, three days had passed since the amusement park night.During these three days, Yu Gutai's team handled a relatively difficult high-level case.Not counting the work of investigation and preparation in advance, it took nearly ten hours just to enter the dungeon to carry out the arrest.

After finishing the dungeon, Qi Zhengnan was hired to do publicity for an armor manufacturer, and accepted a pre-appointed interview with the entertainment section of Purgatory Daily.

Then came today's morning of "nothing to worry about" - reminded by the nightmare just now, Qi Zhengnan finally had enough free time to see if Song Yin had provoked any other moths in the past few days.

He switched the system ID from Foehn to Yunshi, and the phone interface immediately popped up email reminders that kept rising.

The number of emails was finally fixed at 23, and all the messages were sent by "Motorfly", some of which were daily greetings and casual thoughts, and the rest were team invitations for dungeons.

By the way—Qi Zhengnan just now recalled that after the breakfast meeting that day, Song Yin did throw an olive branch to him.

Qi Zhengnan confirmed the time of the emails, and the latest one was sent at eleven o'clock last night.The content is only one sentence: "It's so good, why are you ignoring me?"

This sour tone is clearly capitalized two words - "sorrow".

Undoubtedly, Song Yin, who had been "hanging out" for two days for no reason, must be feeling very anxious and suspicious at the moment.

Qi Zhengnan read these twelve characters over and over several times, and couldn't help but feel very good.

He thought for a while, but did not reply immediately, but went back to the account interface and set Song Yin as a "special contact".In this way, even if he logs in to the system in the name of "Fehn", he can immediately accept any information sent to "Yunshi" by "Momori".

After finishing the system settings, he deliberately turned on the "stealth mode" and "creeped" to Song Yin's personal homepage.

It was a coincidence that Song Yin was doing a live broadcast again in such an early morning.And this dungeon also has a gimmick to a bit vulgar title——

[When the peaches are ripe!Technology flow brother online double flight]

When peaches () are ripe?That kid still knows those little movies from the early days?

And Shuangfei?Could it be the meaning of a double copy?

Qi Zhengnan's mood that had just risen suddenly became strange again.

Why were you still sending plaintive emails last night, and started a two-person live broadcast with someone early this morning, with such an explicit title?Doesn't the serious assistant officer of his family care about it?

The more Qi Zhengnan thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he was about to click in to see what Song Yin was going crazy again.However, just as he pressed his finger, the assistant cat sitting on the table beside him suddenly shook his ears and began to read the message he just received——

"Attention all executive officers, an urgent notice is issued now. The Aksha system has just released a super dungeon solicitation order. The situation is urgent, and the solicitation time is 12 hours!"

The author has something to say: When the peach is ripe—these five words cannot be typed together, the shielding words are really varied

-

Song Yin: Yesterday you touched my cheek to listen to my comfort, but today you pretend to be offline and leave me alone!

Qi Zhengnan: Yun Shi is such an unreliable man!

Song Yin: You are reliable, so don't quarrel with me as soon as you meet

Qi Zhengnan: ...Forget it, let Yun Shi live for a while...
