The second night after Bai Liu fell into a coma, it was still Tang Erda who stayed behind to keep watch.

Originally, Fang Dian was going to stay and keep watch. She didn't mind the difference between men and women at all. When Bai Liu was in high school, she and Lu Yizhang took turns keeping watch. But she had to go to work the next day. At Tang Er's stiff request, Fang Dian laughed and said, "Okay, I'll leave Bai Liu to you."

Mu Ke went home to deal with the handover of the Sunshine Real Estate. Liu Jiayi was taken away. Mu Sicheng wanted to stay, but -

“Damn it, I have a make-up exam the next day?!” Mu Sicheng opened the group chat and was devastated to find the make-up exam schedule sent to him by his counselor. “I haven’t finished reviewing for this subject yet!”

The counselor also tactfully said, "Student Mu Sicheng, your absenteeism rate this semester is a little too high. If you don't want to continue to prepare for the make-up exam next semester, I suggest that you play less games and attend classes well."

Mu Sicheng hugged his head in agony, screamed, and went back to review.

One o'clock in the morning.

Tang Erda breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the nurse come and remove Bai Liu's IV drip, but soon he frowned and looked at the small white scar in the center of Bai Liu's collarbone under her slightly open collar.

The mark of the marker had not yet disappeared, so the scar was not noticeable at all under the cover of the black marker, and Tang Erda discovered it by accident.

He looked solemnly at the white scar in the center of the black inverted cross - it was obviously the burn mark left by the hot bullet that had just been fired and hit the skin.

Bai Liu is not the kind of person who would lose consciousness after a minor injury. He hasn't woken up yet. Tang Erda now suspects that when Bai Liu fired the first shot at Bai Liu, the bullet grazed Bai Liu's heart, leaving this scar.

If Nishen and Heitao had not arrived in time to block the attack, Bai Liu would most likely have been hit directly by the bullet.

But the Soul Crushing Gun... even if it just touches you a little, the impact it brings is immeasurable.

...Bai Liu, please don't get into any trouble.

Tang Er rubbed his temples, with one hand on the hospital bed and the other on the edge of the chair. He leaned tiredly against the bedside table, his eyes half-closed.

Bai Liu was breathing weakly on the hospital bed. He lay on the quilt with his right hand, which was covered with purple needle holes on the back. Suddenly, it was held by a cold, translucent hand. Looking up along the direction of the translucent hand, he saw the translucent Spade standing at the head of his bed with no expression on his face, staring at Bai Liu without moving his eyes.

Bai Liu's right hand fingers moved slightly.

But Tang Erda, who was on guard and not asleep at all, did not seem to notice the sudden appearance of Hei Tao in ghostly state, and he did not open his eyes.

The one who opened his eyes was Bai Liu who was lying on the hospital bed. With droopy eyelids, he looked back at Hei Tao with his fingers curled up, as if he wanted to shake hands again, but his clenched fingers passed through Hei Tao's translucent palm and he could only grasp a phantom.

Hei Tao bent down and placed his head on the inverted cross on Bai Liu's chest. He rubbed it left and right, then closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Bai Liu heard Heitao mumbling to himself, "Is this what Bai Yi meant by human dreaming?"

"So this is what dreaming is like. I can even dream about Bai Liu..."

Spade closed his eyes:

“Then I want to keep dreaming.”

Hei Tao's body emitted a faint fluorescence, which then went out as his eyelids closed. His ghostly body, which was hugging Bai Liu, became increasingly transparent, almost disappearing into the air.

"No." Bai Liu answered Heitao in a hoarse voice. Tears were falling from his eyes, but his expression was still calm. "I hate people sleeping in front of me."

"So wake up and see me, Spade."

Heitao opened his dark eyes, looked at Bai Liu, and said seriously, "Okay."

His transparent body solidified in an instant, and a cold wind-like vortex surrounded Spade's body in the ward. Tang Erda woke up suddenly, and after the vortex of wind dissipated, Spade's ghost disappeared in the middle of the vortex.

Tang Er raised his gun and looked around vigilantly. Finally, his sight suddenly paused, and then he looked with a blank expression at Bai Liu who had sat up on the bed at some point.

Bai Liu still looked a little weak. He smiled and looked at Tang Erda: "Good evening, Captain Tang."

Tang Erda slowly put down the gun in his hand, he took a long breath and laughed: "It's not a good night, you woke up too late."

"Really?" Bai Liu glanced at the place where the translucent Spade had just stood beside his bed, and suddenly chuckled, "Maybe it's because I just had a beautiful dream that took a lot of time."

Killer Sequence Warehouse.

Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu, who were poking the frozen spades, seemed to suddenly realize something.

Bai Jiamu squinted at Bai Yi and said, "Didn't Liao Ke tell us not to let anyone get close to Heitao?"

"Yeah." Bai Yi poked at the ice chips on Heitao's shoulder in boredom. "If we don't guard it, how can we stop others from approaching?"

Veins popped out on Bojiamu's forehead. He took a deep breath and said, "I mean, aren't we human beings? Should we also keep a distance from Spades?"

Bai Yi suddenly realized and stopped: "Yes!"

But the next second they knew it was too late.

A fierce cold air emanated from Hei Tao, and frost blew wildly in the surroundings from his body like a storm. Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu were blown directly into the sky, and they held on to the warehouse door tightly to avoid being blown against the wall.

The hurricane-force wind that poured into Bai Yi's mouth blew it into a shaking, wavy pocket-shaped opening, and he was still trembling: "Fuck~ It's so~ cold~!"

Bo Jiamu gritted his teeth, leaned against the wall, squinted his eyes and used one hand to block the blowing frost, looking at Hei Tao who was standing in the center of the blizzard and slowly standing up.

He could hear the clear sound of the ice shell on Spade's body cracking and falling to the ground.

When Bai Yi felt that his face had been blown up to more than ten degrees and then frozen, the wind finally stopped. He shook off the ice chips and his blown facial features on his face, then looked curiously at Hei Tao who was standing in the center.

Bai Jiamu patted the broken ice on his shoulders, pulled Bai Yi who was about to go over there, and called out to Heitao who had his back to them: "Heitao?"

Heitao turned around with a normal expression, but he said, "Bai Yi, I just had a dream."

Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu were both startled. One was the jumping topic opening, and the other was——

"——Heitao, you actually dreamed?!" Bai Yi was shocked, "How can a lizard like you dream?!"

Bai Jiamu rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Sometimes, Bai Jiamu would be so rebellious as to doubt whether Bai Yi really had the basic intelligence of an adult.

——In the entire killer sequence, the only person who truly believed that Spade was really a lizard in transformation was Bai Yi.

But Bai Jiamu did feel a little strange about Hei Tao's dream, because he vaguely realized that Hei Tao's identity was special. Unlike players like them, Hei Tao was more like a player formed by monsters. He had no background, no origin or destination, and could not enter reality.

Spade played games with them for two years, and there was a period of time when he slept with his eyes wide open. Sometimes, when Bo Jiamu woke up in the middle of the night and saw Spade staring at something with his eyes wide open, he would be scared to death, thinking that a monster was attacking.

Later I found out that this guy doesn’t sleep with his eyes closed!

Bai Jiamu was really shocked at that time.

It took Spade a long time to learn how to sleep with his eyes closed, but from time to time his eyelids would open automatically while he was sleeping, and he would continue to sleep with his eyes staring at a certain place. It was really creepy to watch. Later, Spade learned to sleep face down, so that it didn't matter whether his eyelids were open or not.

For a guy who has to learn even how to sleep, it's natural that he has no idea about more advanced activities like "dreaming".

One time, they were playing some game that was related to dreams and monsters. They all entered a dream and were chased half to death by monsters. Spade couldn't dream, so he couldn't log in. He could only watch over them carefully, watching their bodies with all kinds of ferocious expressions as they were chased by the monsters in the dream.

Finally, Spade came to a conclusion - people look ugly when they dream.

So when Heitao said he was dreaming, Bai Jiamu and Bai Yi's first reaction was disbelief.

Bai Yi first inquired about Heitao's physical condition. After confirming that nothing serious happened, he narrowed his eyes. As the human being who was evaluated by Heitao as having the ugliest dreaming posture, he took the lead in making a sharp attack: "Dreaming is very difficult. It is an activity of the higher consciousness level of human beings. You are just a lizard. If you want to dream, you are really dreaming!"

At this point, Bai Yi sneered: "Tell me what you dreamed about first?"

Heitao recalled: "I dreamed that Bai Liu was lying in front of me wearing very loose clothes with his collar open. Then I held his hand and he also held mine. I lay on him and he hugged me and smiled at me. Then I buried my head in his shoulder..."

Bai Yi calmly interrupted Heitao's narration: "Alright, you must be dreaming. We have minors here, please stop for a moment."

The author has something to say:

Please give a simple and fair evaluation of how humans dream:

Spade: Others dream, ugly

Spade: White Willow dreams, beautiful
