Chapter 182: Lonely Echo: Do you want to move in together? ...
The Third Nightmare
The same dream begins.
As soon as Yun Fuyu entered the dream, he pinched his arm hard to force himself to stay awake.
The good news is that his mental power in the dream can reach thousands of miles in an instant and is extremely powerful.
When spiritual power touches the animals migrating on the plains, it can even achieve a wonderful mutual understanding with them, eliminating the trouble of communication.
So, Yun Fuyu commanded the animals to deploy their troops and resist pollution, just like they did in the command class.
But there are too many.
The enemy is endless and extremely powerful.
What's more, these little creatures are quite weak and have limited abilities.
The mutants could even sense the roots of the World Tree and rushed to bite it.
Yun Fuyu knelt on the cliff, sweating profusely, his whole body filled with tearing pain.
…to stand up.
But I was already dizzy.
Protect them.
want......
Yun Fuyu turned his head away, covered in cold sweat.
The mutant's tentacles attacked like sharp swords, hitting him right in the face!
The dream ends.
*
"Nightmare?"
Xie Huaiyan frowned and sat behind the large desk, browsing Yun Fuyu's latest test report.
"From the data from the wearable monitor... I can't find any abnormalities."
What's more, Yun Fuyu himself could not recall the specific content of the nightmare.
Xie Huaiyan speculated, "Is it because of what I said that you're stressed out? I'm 100% sure I can resolve the Xie family's problems, so Xiaoyun, don't worry at all. Just live your life as usual. Or...would you like to take some time off?"
Yun Fuyu refused.
He is very busy and cannot miss his classes.
*
The Fourth Nightmare
Yun Fuyu tried to explore the "exit" of the high cliff in his dream.
To no avail.
The land in the dream did not seem to exist in reality. It had no edges and no shelter to hide in.
Even if these small creatures can escape, the World Tree cannot escape.
The Fifth Nightmare
Yun Fuyu began to suspect that perhaps this was not a dream, but a scene constructed by some kind of mental power?
Just like the illusion of Xie family’s spiritual body?
Yun Fuyu had nightmares for several days in a row, and even accidentally let his mental power overflow a few times, almost tearing down the room. Fortunately, Adrian woke him up in time.
In the end, even Chao Zhao and Chao Hui knew about it.
The guild hall was on high alert, and everything Yun Fuyu came into contact with, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, was strictly inspected.
At night, Adrian was guarding the door of Yun Fuyu's room, Chao Zhao was guarding outside the window, and the newly installed monitoring equipment in the room was also started.
But it turned out that Yun Fuyu did not suffer any ambush.
This is just a pure nightmare.
The Sixth Nightmare
Yun Fuyu tried to protect himself and ran as far as possible.
However, the mutant was clearly tearing apart the World Tree, so why did he also feel pain?
fail.
The Seventh Nightmare
......
The Eighth Nightmare
"Xie Huaiyan...who am I?"
The nightmares of the past few days were so disturbing that Yun Fuyu felt listless and had no energy.
Yun Fuyu’s face was pale, and her long eyelashes were like tired butterfly wings.
He looked at Xie Huaiyan's back in a trance and murmured:
"I always feel like something is going to happen. Why don't you just tell me who I am? It's enough to keep you on your toes, afraid that your identity will be revealed..."
There was a sudden sharp pain in my head, as if a nail was hammering into it.
Fine beads of cold sweat instantly seeped out of Yun Fuyu's forehead, like condensed water mist on delicate white porcelain.
"...Who am I? The Zong family... The Zong family? Why do I have the sinner's mark..."
He spoke incoherently and couldn't help but hold up his forehead and tap his temples with the base of his palms.
But the pain in his forehead grew, so he pushed harder and harder—
Xie Huaiyan suddenly grabbed his wrist to prevent him from hurting himself.
"Xiaoyun!"
Yun Fuyu struggled to break free from Xie Huaiyan.
But Xie Huaiyan held his wrist tightly, like strangling a reed blown to and fro by the wind.
In an instant, Yun Fuyu's mental power seemed to have broken a hole and slashed out uncontrollably!
Xie Huaiyan was hit in the chest and groaned.
He let Yun Fuyu punch and kick him, but he held Yun Fuyu's wrist tightly and refused to let go.
Yun Fuyu kicked him hard, with tears in her eyes.
"Don't touch me! Xie Huaiyan! Why didn't you say anything! Don't lie to me..."
Yun Fuyu's mental power began to become uncontrollable again, with signs of a restless period.
The broad palm rested against the cool, delicate cheek.
Yun Fuyu's face was so cold that even Xie Huaiyan, who had a low body temperature, could warm her with his palms.
Xie Huaiyan held Yun Fuyu's face and slowly massaged his throbbing temples, keeping his voice very low.
"Shh... shhh. Don't think about those things, Xiaoyun, listen to me, don't think about anything now. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax... Yes, that's it, take a deep breath."
Yun Fuyu frowned, breathed rapidly, and his eyelashes trembled nervously. The butterfly wings caught in the trap were struggling desperately.
Xie Huaiyan's powerful palms firmly supported Yun Fuyu's temples and the back of his head. His figure blocked the dazzling white light in the laboratory, and his inner arms protected Yun Fuyu's shoulders.
In his arms, Yun Fuyu found a safe haven.
The kiss was like a cool drizzle, falling densely on Yun Fuyu's forehead, eyelashes, and nose tip, like animals licking each other's fur for comfort.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyun. Now think about your teammates, think about Seraphina, Zhou Bai, Lin Chaosheng... Think about your journey to their hometown. What did you eat, the new friends you met... Think about the snowman, the fallen leaves and the sunshine, the bonfire..."
Yun Fuyu was like a small animal that was frightened and frozen by unknown fear.
Following Xie Huaiyan's guidance, his attention was slowly diverted, and his tense shoulders and neck slowly relaxed and were slowly massaged open.
Xie Huaiyan patted his back gently, one by one.
After a long time, Yun Fuyu slowly exhaled the breath that was held in his chest, like a whimper.
Seeing Yun Fuyu gradually calm down, Xie Huaiyan let go of his hand and hugged him.
"Be good, trust me. Don't think about these things for now. Overthinking the memories suppressed by the chip may put you in danger... Let's not rush, okay? I promise, I will make sure you leave safely."
*
The Fifteenth Nightmare
Observing from a high cliff, the pollution first broke out on the north side of the plain.
West, east, south.
The last and most severe outbreak occurred in the center of the plain.
After countless deaths, Yun Fuyu changed his strategy.
He personally went against the pollution and rushed towards the World Tree!
But just when he arrived at the roots of the World Tree, Yun Fuyu was shocked to find that just below the roots of the World Tree, the pollution was so dense that it almost condensed into a solid, and the darkness was bottomless.
——Under the World Tree is where the most serious pollution is suppressed!
When he realized this, Yun Fuyu failed again and was kicked out of the dream.
*
After waking up, all memories of the dream disappeared again.
Yun Fuyu stumbled to the window with cold sweat on his forehead and pushed it open with all his strength.
What did he dream about?
What's in the dream?
The answer is obvious.
But once Yun Fuyu thought about it carefully, he found that there was something like a big net, tightly holding his memory and not allowing him to think divergently.
If you force yourself to think about it, you will only get a severe headache.
The cold sea breeze at night took away his body temperature in an instant, making Yun Fuyu shiver with cold.
But the sea breeze is fresh and slightly salty.
The moonlight hits my face.
Yun Fuyu rested his elbows on the windowsill, staring blankly at the sparkling silver sea.
After a while, the arm that was numb due to the nightmare gradually regained its strength.
Yun Fu Yu climbed onto the windowsill, jumped down, and landed lightly on the ground.
Only after his feet were hit by the rough ground did he remember that he had forgotten to wear shoes.
But he didn't have time to think about it, he just wanted to run to the beach as quickly as possible.
The moonlight turned everything silver, whether it was the swaying sea, the undulating beach, or the figures running on the beach in white pajamas.
The wind blew up the black hair on her forehead, and her skin was reflected with a white and soft halo.
Like the brightest shadow in the moonlight falling to the ground.
Yun Fuyu ran to the beach and stood in front of the waves.
He wanted to talk to someone.
But it’s late now, and sending messages will only disturb others.
Yun Fu Yu slowly walked towards the sea and sat down on the edge of the dry beach.
He hugged his knees, said nothing, and let the cold sea water caress his toes.
Perhaps because the night was too lonely, Yun Fuyu couldn't help but call out to that familiar existence in his mind.
"system?"
After a while, the system responded.
"Huh? Why are you here in the middle of the night? Aren't you cold?"
The system's voice was the same as before, and the tone was no different, brisk and lively.
Its data was blocked by Xie Huaiyan, and the program may have been changed.
As long as the program is set up, it will not know what dependence is, what betrayal is, what guilt is, and what apology is.
There is only moonlight and waves between heaven and earth, unchanging and extremely lonely.
Yun Fuyu looked quietly at the blurry sky, and for the first time he clearly realized that the system was lifeless.
It cannot sense Yun Fu Yu's loneliness.
Therefore, Yun Fu Yu's loneliness became even lonelier, emitting an empty echo between heaven and earth, with no one responding.
In this unfair loneliness, Yun Fuyu did not continue speaking.
He just sat there quietly, hugging his knees.
The night tide rose higher and higher, and the cold sea water washed over the toes, flowed over the instep, and slapped the ankles.
Yun Fuyu was about to be swallowed by the waves, but still didn't want to move.
He just lay on his knees, looking down at the white foam on the edge of the waves.
In the past, Yun Fuyu would also be afraid when he couldn’t beat others.
But now he is the head of the school, and he doesn't even remember what he is afraid of.
He was a little confused.
Before the waves soaked his pajamas, the sound of something falling was heard from the direction of the hall.
The footsteps of that thing were more frequent than those of humans, and it made a rustling sound as it ran quickly on the sand.
It seemed like he made these noises on purpose so that Yun Fuyu would notice him and avoid scaring him.
Yun Fuyu didn't look back.
After a while, warm and furry heat pressed against Yun Fuyu's back.
The black wolf lowered its head and gently nudged Yun Fuyu's arm with its wet nose, pushing him away from the sea.
Yun Fuyu raised her head, her black eyes were reflected brightly in the moonlight, and her long eyelashes fluttered.
To the Black Wolf, this seemed like a trap that was hard to refuse.
The black wolf's animal instinct took over, and it moved its nose forward to nudge Yun Fuyu's cheek.
But it was afraid of making Yun Fuyu angry, so it didn't dare to lick Yun Fuyu's cheek, nor did it dare to pull his clothes back with its mouth.
The man's footsteps came closer and he stopped beside Yun Fuyu.
Adrien said nothing.
After a while, he sat down silently in the ankle-deep cold sea water.
The pajamas on my body were soaked in an instant.
But he seemed not to notice, his expression was calm, and he even supported one knee with an unusually relaxed posture.
It doesn't feel like sitting in the sea at high tide at night, but rather like lying leisurely in the shade of a beach umbrella on a sunny afternoon, enjoying the scenery.
He didn't consider what to do if his clothes got wet, didn't consider whether it was troublesome to take a shower in the middle of the night, and didn't consider whether Yun Fu Yu would catch a cold by doing this.
Just accompany Yun Fuyu.
The black wolf sat on the other side of Yun Fuyu, looking down at the sea water wetting the fur on his belly.
It patted the sea water with its claws, and the cool water light splashed far away under the moonlight.
The lone echo hit the claw and was slapped back by it.
The two men and the wolf just sat quietly in the sea water, no one spoke.
Between heaven and earth, there was only the quiet sound of waves surging.
Adrian didn't speak until the rising tide reached Yun Fuyu's waist.
"Having a nightmare again?"
Yun Fuyu hugged her knees, wrapped her arms in front of her body, and scooped up the clear sea water with her white palms.
With the bright moonlight shining, even at night, the sea water is still a strange blue, like a dream.
Yun Fuyu nodded.
Adrien whispered, "What did you dream about?"
Adrian didn't wait for Yun Fuyu's reply and looked at him quietly for a while.
"Want to swim?"
Yun Fuyu shook his head.
Adrian stood up from the sea, supported Yun Fuyu's back with one hand, and held his knees with the other hand, slowly picking him up.
Yun Fuyu was very light, and the clothes below her chest were already wet with sea water.
The black wolf ran away, shook its fur quickly, and trotted back.
As he ran, his body grew bigger, and finally he stopped in front of Yun Fuyu at the wall.
Adrian: "Do you want to go for a ride?"
Adrian put Yun Fu Yu on the black wolf's back.
The black wolf had a very high body temperature, and once its back touched, the warm temperature dispelled the coldness on Yun Fuyu's body.
Just like running in the mountains and forests of a border town.
Heilang brought Yun Fuyu with him, and Adrian followed beside him.
It was very late now, and in the residential area of the main island of the military academy, only a few window panes showed warm lights.
The black wolf ran along the periphery of the main island, and took off lightly with Yun Fuyu, leaping in a graceful arc in the air, then landed its front paws steadily, and then retracted its hind paws.
It was extremely stable, and Yun Fuyu, lying on the black wolf's back, could hardly feel any vibration.
Another leap.
Run from the beach to the brick and stone ground, and from the flat trail to the cobblestone path.
The shadows of the trees on the street blurred into black shadows as they moved quickly, while the sea in the distance always remained the same, with shimmering waves in the night, carrying a refreshing sea breeze that washed away all the panic and anxiety in my heart.
It's almost like a sightseeing bus on the main island.
After running a lap, Yun Fuyu's pants, which were soaked by sea water, were almost dried by the black wolf's body temperature.
Yun Fuyu got off it, hesitated, and patted the black wolf's head.
"Thanks."
The black wolf took advantage of the situation and nudged Yun Fuyu's hand.
*
[The Second Nightmare]
As soon as they met, Seraphina was shocked by Yun Fuyu's tired face.
"What's going on?"
Yun Fuyu has always had very good skin, fair and translucent, and she doesn't have dark circles even after training for several days and nights.
But now, there were faint shadows under his eyes and his lips were frighteningly white, as if he had low blood sugar.
Zhou Bai was also worried.
He rummaged through the bag, took out a strawberry-flavored energy bar, opened the package and handed it to Yun Fuyu's mouth.
Although energy bars are not as efficient as nutrient solution, at least they taste good.
Yun Fuyu lay on the table with a gloomy look on his face, like a kitten refusing a cat's strips, and whispered:
"...I'm sleepy and don't want to eat."
Lin Chaosheng tested the temperature of Yun Fuyu's forehead.
"How long have you been asleep?"
Yun Fuyu moved his head, letting Lin Chaosheng touch his head, and said vaguely:
"I slept...but had nightmares."
Several people looked at each other and asked him what he dreamed about, but Yun Fuyu himself had no recollection of it at all, and the confusion in his expression did not seem fake.
Yun Fuyu nudged Lin Chaosheng's hand, and her voice sounded particularly soft because of sleepiness.
"I now have the rights to an apartment in Area A. Do you want to move in together?"
After the Holy Day, the military academy rankings were settled, and Yun Fuyu successfully obtained the right to live in a large apartment in Area A.
Yun Fuyu wants to move in with her friends.
He had thought about it for a long time, and had been planning it secretly since he looked at the back of the top ten.
The apartment is large with lots of rooms.
Friends can go and take a look first, choose the bedroom they like, and move their things from the small dormitory in Area C.
There is a spacious study in the apartment, enough to accommodate Lin Chaosheng's mountain of books.
There is also a gym. Although it is not as good as the battle field, it is still suitable for Zhou Bai and Seraphina to warm up in it.
The open kitchen island is fully functional, and Zhou Bai can finally cook the local specialties given by their parents.
There is also a balcony where you can plant Yun Fuyu’s favorite flowers.
If someone returns to the main island late at night after completing a mission, they don't have to trudge back to the cramped little dormitory to fill their stomachs with nutrient solution.
In the living room, there will be warm lights to welcome people who come home late.
Then we can have a midnight snack together.
Every morning when classes start, his friends no longer have to run outside the hall to wait for him.
As long as Yun Fuyu opens the bedroom door, she can greet her friends.
When you have a nightmare, familiar people are only separated by a wall.
In this way, Yun Fuyu will no longer be afraid of sleeping.
Serafina was careless and didn't think much about it:
"Whether to move or not, aren't we quite close now? Besides, we'll be going on missions frequently in the future, so it's not necessarily—"
Just then, she saw Lin Chaosheng winking at her frantically.
Moving her eyes to the side, she saw Zhou Bai waving one hand at her quickly, while the other hand was touching Yun Fuyu's head motionlessly.
Following the direction of the hand...she saw Yun Fuyu lying listlessly on the table.
Seraphina's alarm bells rang, and she abruptly changed the subject on the tip of her tongue.
"—But, uh, then again, I think moving in together would be a good idea. It's so convenient. Even when we're on a mission, we still have to maintain our quality of life, right? When are we moving?"
The wilted little animal regained some spirit and looked at his teammates with moist eyes.
