Dream of Death (VII)
[(August 16 morning) I dreamed of a deserted village last night, and when I woke up I found...]
(Something bad happened, someone died)
(Those people died. How did they die?)
(Several people died. One was frightened to death. Another had strangulation marks on his neck, but his family was watching him.
You guys just say this is weird or not?)
(Demons and ghosts, please leave now)
(I'm not saying this, this is really fucking [no science can be talked about anymore])
(Will the post be blocked?)
(It’s OK. Our country is not so strict about this anymore. We were allowed to chat until now, but it’s 404 long ago.)
The next afternoon, Shanzha called Youyi.
"I already have a clue about what you are talking about."
Hawthorn said, "How are your relatives who got into trouble?"
Youyi leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling, "Still playing Sleeping Beauty."
Shanzha asked again, "Who is he to you?"
You Yi sat up straight, "What's wrong? Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Shanzha tapped the old book on his knees with his fingers. "I saw on the Internet that more and more people are dying. You must be worried. The person who got into trouble must be an important relative of yours, right?"
You Yi was silent for a while, "He's my uncle."
"So you want to save people in a dream?" said Hawthorn.
"Yes." You Yi did not deny it.
Shanzha was silent for a while, "Don't mess around, I'll help you."
You Yi smiled in surprise, "I thought you would advise me not to commit suicide."
"You...old people, who can stop you when you get stubborn?" Shanzha sighed, seeming to be very worried. "It's too late for me to go to City A now, and it's hard to say what will happen to my mother."
You Yi, who was almost 17 years old but was already an elder, sighed with a pained look on his face, "Thank you so much, we have a hot spring hotel here, if this matter can be resolved smoothly, I will take you guys here to have some fun, just in time for the end of summer vacation."
Shanzha turned to the night outside the window and said, "Let's wait until the matter is really resolved!"
The battle hasn't even started yet, but the celebration banquet has already been prepared.
"I already understand what you told me, and I also looked through the old book my grandfather left me. It's a pity that I can't go to City A to confirm it myself, but it's almost certain. The one who can control people's dreams on such a large scale must be a dream ghost."
You Yi asked, "What is a dream ghost? I have never heard of it before. Let me tell you something about it."
"It's a legendary monster that is close to extinction." Shanzha lowered his head and flipped through the book. "It can tamper with and control people's dreams, and likes to feed on dreams. It can bring people good dreams, but it can also bring people nightmares. Logically speaking, its talent is to control dreams, but it can't be so lethal."
While Hawthorn was explaining, he himself fell into deep thought.
You Yi said, "If dreams can be controlled, if a person dreams that he is killed, will he die in real life?"
Shanzha shook his head subconsciously, "If it were that easy, many people would have died from nightmares and contributed to family planning."
You Yi tapped the table with one hand, "We are behind the times, now the country has allowed for second births.
It's definitely not that easy to die in a normal nightmare, but for ghosts, killing people in a dream should be easy, right?"
Shanzha thought for a moment and said, "Dream ghosts can indeed achieve what you said by exerting telekinesis in dreams, but with so many people and for such a long time, a single dream ghost cannot do it."
"You mean, they are out in groups, or are there people who know the business manipulating them in secret?"
You Yi curled his lips sarcastically, "Look at what a sin a person has committed. Even ghosts can't stand it."
"It's hard to say." Shanzha's face was tense. He was always worried about issues that were beyond his age, but he had gotten used to it over time.
"I think it's more likely that someone knowledgeable is manipulating it. This is also a clue. If a person has long-term contact with a dream ghost, there will definitely be something abnormal. And the icon does not use magic, but technology."
You Yi said, "I have sent people to investigate, and the police must have done the same, but I think it's too late."
Yes, people have already started dying, the prelude to death has begun, and there is no chance of an easy end. This is revenge, but also punishment.
As he was talking, You Yi was sitting at his desk, watching a message pop up on his computer screen. "The media has uncovered the commonalities among all the victims. Now the victims are going to go to the family of the girl who committed suicide to beg for mercy, or to cause trouble."
"Shouldn't the police keep this kind of thing confidential?" Hawthorn pursed his lips, not very happy.
"It's hard to stop some people from digging deeper." You Yi understood very well, "There are many experts among the people, and there must be hackers who are proficient in this area. If some people pay a little attention to this information, it will not be a secret.
And once the water is muddy, the people behind the scenes may become restless. I just wonder what this girl’s family will think?”
Hawthorn had never expressed any opinion on the matter from beginning to end, and now he just said, "I'll make a list for you, and when you get the things ready, we'll get started."
Because he knows that the injustice in the world cannot be solved by just a few sighs, so he pays more attention to practical operations.
After ending the call with Youyi, Shanzha hesitated whether to call Heguang, but when he thought that the man had strong fighting ability but did not know as much about magic as he did, he temporarily suppressed the idea.

Late at night, some people have fallen asleep, some cannot fall asleep, and some are struggling in their dreams.
Nan Zhou looked at Youyi standing at the window and frowned deeply.
"Do you also want to enter the dream to save people?"
His tone was full of disapproval. "I'm not trying to discourage you. My uncle and the police went in with the intention of saving people, but they either failed or they never woke up. What can you do in there? What about if something happens to you, what will happen to your aunt and the others?"
You Yi was fiddling with his phone absentmindedly, obviously not listening. "If I fail, my aunt will be your aunt from now on. Take good care of her."
Nan Zhou didn't know whether he was serious or joking, so he said unhappily, "You Yi!"
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, You Yi waved his hands with a smile, "I will not fight a battle without preparation. I have contacted an expert remotely before. Even if I fail to save the person, he can still get him out."
Nan Zhou looked at him suspiciously, "You're not going to make up an excuse to lie to me, are you?"
You Yi was amused. "You are usually as innocent as a naive heroine, why are you so suspicious now? I know how to write the four words 'overestimating one's own abilities', really."
Nan Zhou thought for a moment and said, "It's okay as long as you have it in mind. I'm not kidding you. Think about your aunt. She doesn't have many relatives. What would she do if she lost you and your uncle?"
"Okay, I know." You Yi patted his shoulder, "Come on, escort me. If everything goes well, maybe it can be resolved in one night."
Nan Zhou couldn't be as optimistic as him, but he couldn't stop his good friend. He could only do his best to help him and secretly pray that the master he mentioned was more reliable than You Yi himself.
Youyi decorated his room according to Shanzha's instructions. He tied the red rope he had bought specially and pasted yellow talisman papers everywhere. After looking around, he felt that the whole room was full of the style of shamanism.
Shanzha had no idea of what he was thinking, she just kept observing the layout of the house through the video and corrected his mistakes in placement.
Nan Zhou was helping from the side. Seeing that this expert was so young, he felt dizzy in front of his eyes.
It would be better for him to suffocate the bastard You Yi with a pillow, so that when he falls asleep, he won't have to keep watch over him in fear to prevent him from dying suddenly.
Youyi seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "I know this master looks a little younger."
Nan Zhou stared at him. Younger? Is this younger?
It’s 100 million points!
You Yi continued under his glare, "But it is definitely more reliable than those vendors on the street who registered some Feng Shui company. I'm not a three-year-old child. He saved me before, so he definitely makes a living with his real ability."
Nan Zhou went to see Shanzha again, and only then did he notice that even though he was looking into the child's eyes through a screen, it felt like being locked in a refrigerator, and the cold was biting.
He felt a little cold and subconsciously looked away.
Seeing that Youyi was almost ready, Shanzha also started to work on perfecting the layout of his room, "Didn't you tell Sister Heguang and the others about what you are doing now?"
“No.” You Yi was stunned and sat on the bed. “No matter how good He Guang is at fighting, the things in the dream cannot be solved by fighting. I will brag to them after I am done.”
Shanzha felt that it was better for He Guang to handle the matter than for a complete layman to do so. Moreover, this group of people seemed to have a problem: they liked to handle everything on their own when they encountered any problems.
But he just said, "When you are ready, lie down on the bed and sleep as usual. Don't be too nervous. The formation I taught you to set up is a kind of protection, and it can also be regarded as a road. You just need to follow this road and you can easily come back. Remember, when you go in this time, don't rush to find someone, and pay more attention to your own safety.
Once we understand the situation, we can plan the next steps.”
Shanzha had told him these things before, and Youyi promised that he would not do anything rash. He saw that Shanzha was even more nervous than he was.

[(August 16 evening) I dreamed of a deserted village last night, and when I woke up I found...]
(Fuck, big news today, did you know? The police have clues, all the people who are now unconscious have left comments under this video
Link…)
(Does this video have a cursed power?)
(Isn’t this the time when that girl committed suicide… should I say that it’s a matter of fate?)
(Will I get scolded if I say I deserve it? Slip away.)
(Scary, is that girl coming back for revenge?)
(Fuck, go check if that old beast is dead. If not, let him kill himself and don’t implicate innocent people.)
(The girl is not to blame, the police haven’t investigated the truth yet, don’t talk nonsense)
(Sisters, be careful with your words and actions. If you are possessed by a dream of death, even the gods cannot save you.)
