Welcome to Dream Town!
The red bus was driving in this dark forest, and the ferocious wolves were nowhere to be seen.
The smell of sadness permeated everyone again.
They began to wonder what was the difference between them, who were trying to survive at all costs, and Wu Muyi. Those people in the school and the wolves in the castle also just wanted to survive.
From their perspective, Qi Jing and his group were the bad guys, the bad guys who prevented them from living. But when the perspective changed again, they became the bad guys again, the complete bad guys who did all kinds of evil.
"Do you know?" Dada, who had quietly sat down in the driver's seat, was leaning lazily on the back of the chair.
She was holding a half-smoked cigarette in her hand. In the dim carriage, only a shabby little chandelier was glowing.
She looked at them through the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Xi Lefu and Wu Muyi are not really bad people. They just want to survive.
Because a heart is needed, Xi Lefu will put all those who cannot provide a body to Wu Muyi in the secret room on the fourth floor after obtaining the heart.
There are many corpses stored there, and anyone who goes in to see them will find that some of them are well preserved, as if they were asleep.
She slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, which drifted to everyone in the narrow carriage. "Do you know why he always has to drink mutton soup?"
Lin Nuan waved her hand to brush away the smell of cigarette smoke. She looked at Dada, who was obviously not as strong as before, and said, "Is it to nourish his heart?"
Dada looked at Ershier with his legs crossed. The scene outside the car gradually became clearer and brighter. She looked at Lin Nuan through the rearview mirror. "A heart needs blood to nourish it. He just wanted to find a perfect heart and didn't want to drink the blood or eat the flesh of those people. So Wu Muyi found him a food that could replace those things - mutton soup!"
"A food that reeks of blood, yet nourishes the heart. Whenever he can't resist the urge to eat someone, his servants will give him a bowl of this, along with some strong liquor. He can then spend another day in a daze, until he finds a heart that doesn't need blood. Only then can he truly break free from the temptation of blood and become a living person, not a monster."
The car stopped by the roadside, all the windows were opened, and she got out.
Her hands were shaking as she said, "This is the last leg of your journey. You have to walk on your own. Don't speak to anyone you see along the way. If someone calls you, don't respond. Just watch."
"Next time we meet, I will try my best to kill you."
After saying this, she disappeared, as quietly as she had come.
A gust of wind blew, making the curtains inside the car rustle. Her somewhat hollow voice rang out again in the car: "They released the water, did you know?"
"That person didn't lie to them. There really is someone who can be the perfect heart and body for both of them."
Who is it?
The eight people in the car seemed to know what was going on.
Do they really have good luck?
Or is this a desperate struggle for countless people?
I don’t know how many days it has been, but the red bus has been driving smoothly on the road.
There are mountains, seas and many people here.
"No matter who you see on the street, don't make a sound or respond, just watch."
A loud voice echoed in everyone's mind, "Be quiet, don't respond."
"Don't make a sound...don't respond..."
On the winding road, a large group of people were leaning on the railings, raising their arms and calling out to them. Everyone here looked familiar and strange until someone called out their names.
"Qi Jing, I'm Liu Qi! Don't you recognize me? Qi Jing!"
"Wang Shitou, I told you that as long as we become students that day, we can return to normal life. Don't you still believe me?" Liu Chao shouted at Wang Shitou, who was sitting by the window. He said, "Come down quickly, I'll take you back. Just follow me, and I will definitely take you home."
"Don't you trust us?"
"Wang Shitou!"
"You don't believe us?" Liu Chao pretended to be very sad. He climbed on other people's bodies and followed the car strangely. His tone was full of resentment, and he roared like crazy: "Qi Jing, why don't you believe us!"
"Why!"
“Why!!!”
Anyone who believed him was a fool. A man who climbed on others and could run at the same speed as a bus, could you believe he was a normal person?
They have mental problems, but they are not idiots!
"Lin Nuan."
Lin Nuan heard someone calling her and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Zhang Keyi. She was still dressed as usual, with her twin ponytails draped quietly across her chest, looking adorable.
There was a girl standing next to her. That was Qingqing, whom Zhang Keyi often mentioned to her. She had seen her photo in the pocket watch hanging around Zhang Keyi's neck.
Zhang Keyi's voice entered her ears: "Lin Nuan, look, I found my Qingqing. I was right, wasn't I? I will definitely find her."
"Lin Nuan, didn't we agree to leave here together? Why are you taking the car alone without me?"
"Lin Nuan, come down, let's go together, okay?"
"Lin Nuan...Lin..."
“Bang!”
Annoyed by the noise, Lin Nuan angrily closed the car window and pulled the curtains together.
She felt that these people were like crazy, yelling all the time!
I don’t know how to pick up good things!
Even after all the window curtains in the car were closed, the sound was still heard inside the car.
They are like ghosts, haunting them and not letting go.
Listening carefully to the source of the sound, I found that it came from the watches on their wrists.
Wang Shitou took off his watch and threw it away: "You must kill me, right? You're chasing me and killing me."
I don’t know if it hit anyone, but the shouting outside was getting louder and louder.
"Wang Shitou~"
"Lin Nuan~"
"Liu Hanshui~"
"Qi Jing, come out and see me. Didn't you say you would take Liu Qi with you? Didn't you promise me?"
Wang Shitou took the lead and threw all the watches down, but he still couldn't block out the voices of those outside: "Come down!"
"Come down~"
This road is called Wanjing Road. Anyone who passes by this road will see the deceased at the railing. These people will try to seduce people on the bus, tricking them into getting off the bus and exchanging their lives for their own. If one person on the bus is successfully tricked, then everyone on the bus will become a scapegoat.
Wanjing Road is the only way to Dream Town. The people here never leave because they dream of what they want.
Everyone here dreams, and their dreams are connected, as if they are all dreaming the same dream.
The car continued to rumble forward, and listening to the noise it made, it felt like it was about to fall apart.
Fortunately, the car was safe and sound after arriving in the town.
After getting off the bus, they saw a very beautiful little village. There was the sea in front of the village, a mountain behind it, and a large conical match pile in the middle.
Next to the town's plaque is a notice board decorated with shells and starfish, which reads:
"Welcome, stranger! Our Dream Town has the following unwritten rules:
1. There are many children in the town, and each of them wears a pendant with a yellow small sea fish on it. If you meet them, you can just ignore them.
Second, if you encounter a child wearing a blue fish pendant, don't ignore them. If they ask you for something, find a way to fulfill it. If necessary, ask for help from the one wearing a red shell pendant; they'll help you out.
Third, every outsider who comes here must go into the sea to catch a colorful fish every day, no matter how big or small.
Fourth, it won't rain here. If it rains, please stay in your room and don't come out or talk to any townspeople.
5. If a small turtle appears in your room when it rains, please give it to the second resident who knocks on the door.
6. If there are two people outside the door after you open it, please close the door and reopen it again until the person who appears at the door is wearing the starfish pendant.
7. If the pyre in the center of town catches fire, please refer back to the rules.
8. Outsiders don’t dream. If you do, please don’t go fishing that day.”
This village-like town doesn't look very big from the outside, but when you step in, it becomes a closed world and the entrance disappears.
Qi Jing and eight other people just stood there. They were wearing long sleeves and long pants, which did not fit in at all with the townspeople here.
Lin Nuan tugged at her collar, shielding her eyes from the sun, and asked, "Do you feel the heat?"
Several people who had been standing here since they came in wiped their faces with their hands and said in unison: "Yeah."
Lin Nuan turned her head to look at them, curled her lips and said, "You're really good at pretending."
Ma Liangchen's clothes were soaked through by the heat, and he felt that if he continued to be exposed to the sun like this, he would get heatstroke.
"No, there's no one to greet us. I'm dying of heat."
The tall man squatted behind Lin Nuan, his head buried between his arms, almost burrowing into the ground.
Lin Nuan, who was forced to become a parasol, asked him: "Are you human? Let me block the sun for you."
Ma Liangchen was too hot to even want to refute. Wang Shitou beside him also couldn't stand the heat. He rested his head on Shi Yuncheng's back and felt like he was going to faint.
Liu Hanshui pulled at her shirt to fan herself and complained, "My name has the character 'water' in it, but I'm not a kettle. Are you trying to make me boil over by being so hot?"
Qi Jing was also feeling dizzy from the heat. He reached out and grabbed Shu Yan's arm, and asked weakly, "Am I confused because of the heat? Why did I see a piece of cloth floating towards us?"
In fact, to be precise, there was a person wearing a piece of cloth walking towards them.
When the man in the cloth approached them, the dizzy people came back to life all of a sudden, just like stranded fish dying of thirst being put into water.
"Oh my God, I almost died of heat." Ma Liangchen finally breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the cool air.
The man in front of me was dressed coolly. His entire outfit, including his underwear, probably only used three pieces of cloth.
The light blue fabric, like the ripples of the sea, looks just like the real thing when blown by the wind.
It’s so beautiful!
"Hello, I'm the mayor of Duomeng Town, my name is Ji Xiaoyu."
Ji Xiaoyu looked at them with a smile and extended her hand to Shu Yan who was standing in the front.
