Chen Nian glanced at the social media app and saw that no one had sent him a message yet, so he took out his stylus and continued to finish the painting he was working on.

During the half-month coma, Fu Tianhe had a strange dream.

Chen Ci recorded the content of the dream, sent it to him, and asked if he could draw a little bit of it.

The pink lake and the huge jungle-like crystal cluster are actually not very difficult to deal with. The difficulty lies in the woman that Fu Tianhe saw in the middle of the lake.

After waking up from the dream, Fu Tianhe had no memory of what the other person looked like. He only knew that she was very beautiful, with a silver vertical line between her eyebrows.

There are so many beautiful people in the world, pure, charming, elegant, cute, hot... Chen Nian is not sure what type Fu Tianhe saw.

Chen Nian tried to start painting, but found that he seemed to have already made a plan in his subconscious mind. He couldn't imagine it accurately, but in the process of painting, he sketched out her appearance stroke by stroke.

When Chen Nian came to his senses during the first draft, he found that he had been drawing for nearly nine hours in one go. His bent fingers were so stiff from holding the pen for so long that he could hardly stretch them out.

The face of the woman in the canvas gradually becomes clearer; she is gentle and calm, like a moon lying in still water.

Chen Nian didn't know her at all.

He just felt that his condition was very strange, and in confusion, he went to ask Gui Zhiqi, who had more experience, for advice.

Gui Zhiqi said that he had entered a state called "flow".

I put my whole mind into painting and forgot everything around me. The resulting work is likely to be beyond the existing level, and even I myself will not be able to understand it after looking at it.

Really? This was the first time Chen Nian had ever been so completely focused.

In addition to sex, there are other things that can give him an excited and fulfilled feeling.

Chen Nian sat by the window, feeling the misty breeze, and finally modified the details, adjusted the relationship between light and dark, and exported the picture to send to Fu Tianhe.

Chen Nian drew three pictures in total. The first two chapters are the concepts of the scenes, a rushing purple river mixed with human body fragments, a crystal jungle and a pink lake, and a sticky sky with a diamond-shaped wound torn open.

The last photo is of the woman, she is floating on the water at an angle, the slightly swaying pink lake surface submerged at her chest. She is wearing a gorgeous dress, the style of which is not what ordinary people of this era would wear, but it does not seem out of place.

Her calm face was delicate and inhuman, her long hair as light as the moonlight was scattered in the water, like a galaxy falling into the tide. There was a silver vertical line in the center of her heart, her eyes were tightly closed, as if they would open in the next second.

——survive.

The moment Fu Tianhe saw the picture sent by Chen Nian, he was stunned.

Alike, very similar indeed.

The memories that had quickly faded away after waking up suddenly came flooding back and perfectly overlapped with the image before my eyes.

The woman who had been shattered into pieces seemed to come back together piece by piece, existing vaguely in an alien dimension, with her long, shiny hair flowing towards an unknown distance.

Fu Tianhe was amazed at how Chen Nian could perfectly reproduce the scene based on his extremely abstract description, and typed excitedly:

[This is amazing! The painting is exactly the same as what I saw in my dream! Yes! The woman I saw looked like this. How did you know? ]

How do I know?

Chen Nian couldn't explain it clearly. The strange feeling in his heart became even stronger after seeing Fu Tianhe's reply.

If I had to explain it, there could only be one explanation: he had actually seen this woman before, but he had forgotten it, so he could only accurately draw her appearance in his subconscious.

But what kind of existence could appear in Fu Tianhe’s dream and leave an impression on him?

It was the first time for both him and Fu Tianhe to see this woman.

Chen Nian: [I just drew it based on my feelings. Ask Chen Ci if she looks familiar to you. I also think she looks weird. It’s like I already know what she should look like.]

Chen Nian put down his phone and realized it was getting dark. He had originally planned to add a few more strokes, but he had spent another three or four hours painting. He didn't even have lunch and was starving.

He quickly changed his clothes and went to the restaurant to get food.

"September?"

Fu Tianhe called out to Chen Ci who was standing by the window, looking at the sky outside.

"Chen Nian has finished the painting." He showed the virtual screen to Chen Ci and praised, "Your brother is so amazing. The painting looks exactly like what I dreamed of."

Chen Ci: "He has only been learning painting for a few months. He lived in the underground city before and had no chance to develop his hobbies."

"Is that so? He can paint so well in just a few months." Fu Tianhe was surprised. "I'm ready to attend his exhibition in the future."

Chen Ci looked at the three pictures carefully, and a sense of chaos and weirdness came over him. Although the colors were obviously warmer, they were so depressing that it made him feel suffocated.

In the third photo, he stared at the woman's face with a frown on his face.

Fu Tianhe observed Chen Ci's expression. It was like seeing a very familiar person on the street but not being able to remember who the person was.

Chen Ci thought about it for half a minute and gave up because he believed that he had never seen the woman in the painting.

It just feels familiar for some unknown reason.

Chen Ci: "Is this picture the same as in your dream?"

Fu Tianhe nodded: "Yes, that's why I was surprised. When I described her to you at the beginning, I should have just said that she was very beautiful. I have forgotten what she looked like in detail."

Chen Ci: "Yes, I did pass it on to Chen Nian in this way."

Fu Tianhe analyzed: "In other words, this is a person that the three of us feel a little familiar with. Does he have any unusual relationship with us?"

In Chen Ci's 18 years of life, there were very few women who had relationships with him.

Several managers of Baita, his personal maid Agnes, the person in charge of extracting biological factors in the research institute, the kind-hearted Zhuomacuo on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and his young apprentice An An, and that’s all.

He felt familiar with this person...

Could it be his and Chen Nian's mother? But according to the clues we know so far, his and Chen Nian's mother should not be human, so how could she appear in the dream of Fu Tianhe and Ashes' confrontation?

Chen Ci couldn't think of a reasonable answer for the time being.

Shafley returned at seven in the evening. He walked into the restaurant and saw Chen Nian enjoying dessert after dinner.

"How's it going? Any news from Laggio?"

Shafulai sat down, and immediately a waiter served dinner to the eldest prince.

"Not yet. It's been a few hours and there's not even a call. I asked him in the group but he didn't answer."

Chen Nian paused for a moment and then said, "I just checked the forum and it seems that there is no news from people from other guilds who joined Moonlight either. Could something have happened to them?"

Shafulai said as he ate, "It's unlikely. Even if you encounter an unexpected situation in the game, you will definitely be able to send messages after exiting, unless there is some special restriction."

Chen Nian nodded and just assumed that they were busy playing the game and had no time to chat.

"By the way, I drew the scene from Fu Tianhe's dream and sent it to him. He said it was exactly the same."

Chen Nian sent the painting to Shafley, of course, hoping to hear praise from Alpha.

During this period, he made great progress. It was the first time he painted a picture with strong colors and a strong sense of atmosphere, and the final result was surprisingly good.

After looking at the three pictures, Shafley was about to praise Chen Nian for his rapid progress when he suddenly noticed the woman in the picture.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and there was a vertical silver gap between her eyebrows.

The compliment that was about to come out of his mouth was replaced by Shafulai, who looked carefully and raised his eyes to ask, "Is this the woman that Fu Tianhe saw in his dream?"

Chen Nian: “Yes.”

Shafulai stared at the vertical line between her eyebrows and murmured, "She looks like..."

"Like what?" Chen Nian perked up when she heard this. Could it be that Shafulai also felt that she was familiar?

"The beacon's core program will be presented in a concrete form to facilitate the maintainer to communicate with them. Generally speaking, in order to make the maintainer feel familiar, they will imitate human appearance."

"They are anthropomorphic, male and female, old and young, but without exception, they all have an eye growing vertically in the center of their eyebrows."

"That is the symbol of the beacon's all-seeing power. All images captured by the surveillance become what that eye sees."

Chen Nian: “Ah?”

Shafley's words led all speculations to an extremely bizarre direction.

The woman that Fu Tianhe saw in his dream... could it be Moonlight?!

No wonder he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He was able to describe her specific appearance with just a vague sentence.

Since he and Chen Ci were born in the moonlight, it is very likely that they have seen the embodiment of moonlight and have related memories in their subconscious.

Just like when he was in a coma, he saw the blue-eyed monster taking care of him and Chen Ci when they were still embryos.

If she was really the moonlight, then why did Fu Tianhe dream about her?

Fu Tianhe grew up in Sanshui, and later wandered between the major beacons, having nothing to do with the Moonlight that had long since collapsed.

Half a month ago, the four of them went to the Greenland Ice and Snow Plateau. There is no doubt that it was the first time that Fu Tianhe saw the sixth beacon in his life.

So... is it because of Ahes?

It was quite possible, after all his whole dream was concerned with amethyst.

Chen Nian could not wait to share the news with Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe. The four of them had a small group, which they created after the meeting at the top level of Sanshui. Anything would be discussed directly in the group so that everyone could see it.

Shafla also lowered his head to check the chat software. However, after Chen Nian sent the message, a message tagged all members, allowing Afanasy's group to occupy the top position.

It’s Caigeou.

Laigo: [Damn! Something terrible has happened! Can any of you see this message I sent? ? ? ]

Ten dollars for three: [Of course I saw it. ]

Fried chicken forced me to eat it: [What's wrong? ]

Taoqi Wulong: [Is your internet connection bad? ]

Cai Geou: [What about the one just now? ]

Gua: [Just now?]

No disease, no illness: [What just now? Didn’t you just tag all members in the message? ]

Caigeou: [No, I sent another one! Oops, several of my messages were blocked. What the hell? Do you want to scare me like this?]

I'm so sleepy, let me sleep: [? ]

I thanked you: [What? ]

Clang Clang: [What is going on? ]

When the group was in chaos, Laigo chatted privately with Shafulai: [Laobeng, are you in Cinnabar? ]

Bengshemailu: [Yes, what's the situation over there? ]

Caigeou: [There is news that cannot be sent out no matter what! You can see that the forum is also calm, right? It’s because all our messages have been blocked! This is too outrageous, and this is the first time I have seen such an outrageous thing in my life! ]

Bengshemailu: [Blocked? ]

Shafley realized something was wrong and asked, "Did this happen after you entered the moonlight?"

Laigo: [Yes, I can't even mention that word now. If I say anything related to it, I will be blocked immediately. I have already tried it just now, and it doesn't work even when I make a phone call. The person on the other end can't hear anything.]

[It should be possible to talk to him face to face. Three grams of oil is also in cinnabar. When do you have time to meet him? I can tell you face to face.]

Bengshemailu: [Okay, I'll contact him and arrange a meeting place.]

Chen Nian came over and saw the conversation between the two.

"Are you going to have three grams of oil noodles?"

Shafley nodded. "I don't know what went wrong that prevented Laigeau from even sending out messages. It would be better for me to go there in person."

Chen Nian guessed, "Only beacons can control information to this extent, right?"

Shafulai hummed and said, "I don't know what it's doing. Let's go together. I'll ask San Keyou where he lives first."

Sankeyou had just come out of the game, and Shafulai asked and got an answer immediately.

San Keyou lived in Chensha's water supply station, so Shafulai made an appointment with him at a cafe in the water supply station.

Shafulai was so busy sending messages to Sankeyou that he couldn't even eat for a while and wished he had two more hands.

Chen Nian simply sat down next to him, picked up the cutlery and fed him: "If you go over like this, won't San Ke Oil know that you are the eldest prince? Ah——"

Shaflay opened his mouth and was fed half a piece of goose liver.

"Disguise yourself for a while." Shafulai didn't want to reveal his identity. With his fame in the fantasy kingdom, if the news leaked out, basically everyone in the world would know that the eldest prince was not doing his job properly.

Although Shafley did not miss anything because of playing games.

Chen Nian: "Then wear a hat, a mask and cosmetic contact lenses, and then say you have chickenpox on your face and can't be exposed to the wind."

Shafley: “Okay.”

Alpha sent a message to Sankeyou and opened his mouth to accept the food from Omega, but stopped when he tasted the vegetables.

As if knowing his reaction in advance, Chen Nian's voice came at the right time: "Don't be picky about food, didn't you teach me that?"

Shafulai: “…………”

He was silent for two seconds, but finally ate the rotten carrot.

Chen Nian was very satisfied, so he helped the busy Shafulai finish his dinner and said, "Let's make an appointment. I'll ask Chen Ci if he's willing to go with us."

Seeing the news in the group, Fu Tianhe couldn't help but join in the fun: "I want to go too."

He was really bored in the hospital. For insurance reasons, the doctors did not allow him to walk in the corridor. He stayed in his intensive care unit every day and was almost bored to death.

Chen Ci: "You should stay in the hospital and take good care of yourself for the next two days. You can go out again after your eyes are healed."

Fu Tianhe sighed: "Okay."

Fu Tianhe originally wanted Chen Ci to come back as soon as possible, but he also felt that he could not restrict Chen Ci's social life and life. In the end, he said nothing and obediently accepted the arrangement.

"Okay, Chen Ci, come with us." Chen Nian stood up, stretched his waist, and said lazily, "Let's go back and rest."

Shafley looked up at him and asked, "Do we have to do something else tonight?"

Chen Nian's eyes lit up, thinking of the agreement with Shafulai to "clean up at night": "When——"

Shafley: "Come on, change your clothes and go jogging with me."

Chen Nian: “……………………”

His expression suddenly fell: "How heartless. You even asked me to run. You haven't had a spare moment all day. Aren't you tired?"

"It's okay. I've been so busy all the time. I'm used to it." Shafley patted him on the back. "Exercise. Didn't you say so?"

Chen Nian changed into sportswear, ran with Shafley to warm up, went swimming, and finally went to the gym to stretch. By the time she returned to the bedroom, she was so tired that she had the strength only to lie down.

Shafulai turned Chen Nian over. The Omega boy stared at Shafulai, who was still able to move freely, and realized that something was wrong: "I suspect you are deliberately wasting my energy."

It is true that there is a natural physical difference between Alpha and Omega, but this is mainly because Shaflay has been trained according to the most stringent standards since he was a child.

It is impossible for a person who can be busy from the moment he opens his eyes in the morning until he closes his eyes at night to have poor physical fitness.

Chen Nian sometimes suspected that Shafley worked several more hours a day than the average person.

Otherwise, how can we take care of so many things at the same time?

"Nothing." Shafulai certainly couldn't admit it. He was just taking Chen Nian for daily physical exercise, and this was the result of him taking it easy because he had special activities in the evening.

"Come on, take care of me."

Chen Nian: “………………”

He felt his dignity was challenged.

He struggled to get up, held Shaflay's shoulders, and pushed the Alpha down like a hungry tiger, biting his face.

Shafulai did not struggle, allowing Chen Nian to consume his already limited physical strength.

It's a long battle tonight.

The next morning, Shafley drove to the hospital to pick up Chen Ci.

Half an hour later, the three of them sat in the car together and began to dress up.

Shaflay wore brown contact lenses to cover her all-too-recognizable violet eyes, and used temporary hair dye spray to dye her platinum-blond hair black.

Combined with the mask and hat, no one can recognize who he is.

Chen Ci and Chen Nian don't need to dress up, and so far, few people know their true identities.

Chen Ci only wore a mask. Donald was dead, and no one would look for him like a mad dog anymore.

Chen Ci: "The woman who appeared in Fu Tianhe's dream is most likely Moonlight?"

Shafulai: "Yes, Cinnabar also has such a line between his eyebrows, and so does Sanshui. As for the other beacons, although I have never seen them, my father said they all have them."

Chen Ci nodded. Now the fate of the four of them was closely related to the collapsed beacon on the distant snowfield: "Fu Tianhe has almost recovered. We will go there again in a few days."

Chen Nian said in surprise, "He has almost recovered? Is that true? He was injured so badly at that time."

"Really." He didn't know about other Chen Ci, but at least he had just experienced it himself. Apart from the new scars on his body, Fu Tianhe was full of energy and looked like a completely normal person. Now he stayed in the ward all day, so bored that he didn't know what to do.

Shafley: "Then let the doctor give him a detailed physical examination tomorrow. If there is nothing wrong, we will make plans."

"OK."

While they were talking, the three of them took the central elevator to the water supply station. Their highest-level pass allowed them to pass through unimpeded, and no one noticed that they were anything but ordinary.

Arriving at the agreed coffee shop, Chen Nian looked around, looking for San Keyou.

Five minutes ago, San Keyou sent a message saying that he had arrived.

San Ke You: [Are those three people at the door you? I’m wearing blue clothes, and I’m just opposite.]

Shafley's eyes swept across, and finally turned back to fix on a young girl in a blue casual suit in the corner.

The two looked at each other, and the girl immediately stood up and waved to them.

Chen Nian was surprised. He came to the table and sat down opposite her: "I thought you were a boy."

San Keyou is a handsome young man in the game. Every time when everyone makes some erotic jokes, she is always very relaxed. With this game ID, Chen Nian has a preconceived impression of her.

San Keyou smiled and said, "You are Mono, right? It's hard for me to connect you with that two-meter-tall fool."

"I'm not a fool." Chen Nian said, "Then why don't you guess that I'm running away?"

"The vice president speaks more calmly, so he's easy to recognize." San Keyou cast his eyes towards Chen Ci who was standing next to Chen Nian, "Who is this..."

Chen Nian: "It's my brother. We just happened to hang out together."

San Keyou nodded and didn't ask any more questions. They had known each other in the game for so long, and now that they were meeting in person, they didn't feel awkward: "It may take a long time to talk about it, how about you buy us a drink, Vice President?"

Shafley: "You can drink or eat anything you want. Just order whatever you want."

"Then I won't be polite." San Keyou ordered a drink and some desserts. Chen Ci and Chen Nian ordered the same thing. The two brothers looked exactly the same without their masks. San Keyou couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It's really nice and pleasing to the eyes.

Seeing that Shafulai had no intention of ordering anything, San Keyou asked, "Vice President, don't you want to drink something? It's so embarrassing for only the three of us."

"I have chickenpox on my face, so it's hard to take off the mask, so I don't need to—"

Before Shafulai could finish his words, Chen Ci took out a pair of small scissors from his pocket and cut a slit at the mouth of his mask with a click.

"Okay." Chen Ci slowly retracted the scissors.

Shafulai: “………………”

Three grams of oil: "Puff."

Chen Nian: “Hahahahahahaha!”

Chen Ci's expression was calm, as if he was not the one who made the joke just now. Shafley controlled the twitching corners of his lips, finally succumbed to reality and ordered a flat white.
