Although the process was not pleasant, the result was good.

The liquid nitrogen essence obediently fused the other three lumps of liquid nitrogen essence, and the cold air in the morgue finally began to slowly dissipate.

Yin Luming put away the illustration book, walked to the place where the liquid nitrogen essence appeared just now, raised his head and looked up.

There's a place on it that looks like a vent.

Yin Luming pondered for a while, and stabbed upwards with the spear in his hand, smashing the windshield.

Then kicked off the wall and climbed into the vent.

……

Chi Xi stared nervously at the monitor screen.

Xie Qizhu was restrained on the operating bed with a restraint belt, her eyes were tightly closed, and only the back of her hand, which was convulsed to the point of showing blue veins, showed the pain she was enduring.

Chi Xi bit her lower lip tightly, wishing she could replace it.

"Clang clang."

Suddenly there was some movement from outside, which forced Chi Xi to raise her head.

"Chestnuts?" He mumbled, walked to the door with the tablet, opened the door and was about to go out.

A fat brown cat lay behind the door and scratched the door dissatisfied.

Chi Xi subconsciously said: "Don't make trouble, I'm busy now..."

His words stopped suddenly.

——If the chestnuts are here, who is the movement outside?

"Clang!"

There was another loud bang, and then there was a "clinking" sound, as if something fell down and knocked over the tea cups and pots on the coffee table.

Chi Xi glanced at Xie Qizhu on the operating table in the surveillance video, pursed her lips, picked up a broom from behind the door, and walked out slowly.

Yin Luming got down from the coffee table and straightened several knocked down cups: "Sorry, I couldn't find a foothold."

Chi Xi's eyes widened in shock, and it took a while before she let out a breath. She didn't know whether she had expected it or smiled wryly, "Brother Yin, it really is you."

He knew that Yin Luming must have moved after he broke the surveillance system - but he didn't expect Yin Luming to touch here.

Yin Luming looked around.

The style here is quite different from the hospital outside.

The beige wallpaper is printed with light cartoon patterns, the light-colored leather sofa is covered with a soft carpet, the remote control is placed on the armrest of the sofa, and there are a few pots of green plants in the corner.

Cozy home renovation.

Chi Xi clenched the mop in her hand: "Brother Yin, how did you find this place?"

Yin Luming saw Chi Xi's resistance, took a step back, sat on the sofa calmly, and signaled Chi Xi not to be nervous: "He came from the morgue."

Chi Xi was startled - "Where is the mortuary?"

Yin Luming narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't know there is a morgue?"

Chi Xi shook her head, feeling a little dazed.

Yin Luming understood why there were two symmetrical exit doors in the elevator shaft, and there was no monitoring in the mortuary.

He said flatly: "It seems that she didn't tell you what kind of environment she created for you."

Chi Xi raised her head and looked at the place where Yin Lumen fell, a little enlightened, but also a little puzzled: "Why?"

Yin Luming pointed to the sofa next to him: "Talk?"

Chi Xi pursed her lips, and after a while, she slowly sat down on the sofa.

The fat brown cat lazily paced over, crawled into Chi Xi's arms, and signaled to the shit-shoveling officer that it was time to groom it.

Chi Xi subconsciously picked up the small comb next to it and combed the fat cat's hair carefully.

Yin Luming saw it, and said calmly: "Is this the life you dreamed of?"

Warm and peaceful two-person living, raising a lazy cat, and a plain and warm married life.

Chi Xi bit her lip, nodded, and smiled wryly: "Although I know there is no chance, but since it's a dream, I still want to satisfy myself."

"Do you know what Xie Qizhu is doing?"

"I know." Chi Xi couldn't help but raised her head, "Brother Yin, I know you have the ability to break this dream, but can you give us a little more time?"

Yin Luming looked at him for a moment: "Aren't you worried that Xie Qizhu's body can't bear it in reality?"

"Xiaozhu knows it well." Chi Xi exhaled and murmured, "Actually, Xiaozhu's experiment doesn't have to have new players coming in... I mean, when new players come in, we can know this group of players What day is the time point, so as to judge how long Xiaozhu has been in a coma."

Yin Luming raised his eyebrows, remembering that he had to fill in the time on the medical record card he had filled out when he first entered the hospital.

"Even if you don't come, Xiaozhu will end the dream before her real body is approaching irreversible damage." Chi Xi bit her lower lip, "So, can you let us go?"

Yin Luming stared at Chi Xi and slowly frowned.

Chi Xi looked at Yin Luming with some anxiety: "Brother Yin?"

"If I say no, are you going to reset the dream?"

Chi Xi's spine stiffened, she acquiesced.

Yin Luming said: "I originally thought that you and Xie Qizhu were connected, but now it seems that this is not the case."

Chi Xi was stunned for a while, with a look of surprise and displeasure on her face, she pursed her lips, and endured it.

Yin Luming said: "Do you think there is no conflict between you?"

"Of course." Chi Xi said, "I have nothing to hide from Xiao Zhu, and she has nothing to hide from me."

"Concealment and communication are two different things." Yin Luming pointed to the top, "For example, the mortuary that you don't know about."

Chi Xi was taken aback.

"Judging from the layout of the bamboo forest and the hospital, Xie Qizhu is a slightly obsessive-compulsive, rigorous, rational, and even unreasonable person." Yin Luming picked up a cup, went to the water dispenser to get some water, and started again. Sit back, "The real Xie Qizhu should be doing medical research."

Chi Xi nodded.

"Knowing that she was in a dream and saw her dead boyfriend, Xie Qizhu's materialism was shocked - but the shock was not big enough to reshape her values, it just made her calmly consider what benefits the dream could bring her .So she thought of an experiment that has not been completed in reality, which can just be tried in a virtual dream.”

Chi Xi was silent.

"In the real world, of course, human experiments are not allowed, but in the dream world." Yin Luming put down his teacup and pointed to himself, "There is just one problem - although Xie Qizhu can remember what he researched, but he can't restore it 100% A completely realistic human body. Therefore, after she knew the existence of the nightmare game, her target turned to the players who came to break through the level."

Chi Xi whispered: "Before the players leave the dreamland, Xiaozhu will restore their bodies."

"Do you know how it was restored?"

Chi Xi was a little dazed: "Xiaozhu is the controller of this dream, as long as you think about it, it's fine."

Yin Luming shook his head: "No, Xie Qizhu is an absolutely rational person, she will not do things that rely on imagination to make something happen-her method is to copy the player's body data from the beginning, before the player leaves the dreamland Bring it back."

Looking at Chi Xi's expression, Yin Luming knew that Chi Xi didn't know about it at all.

"I came from the morgue just now, and there are many duplicate bodies of past players inside." Yin Luming said, "On the one hand, it is used as a sample of experimental data, and on the other hand, it is the environment that Xie Qizhu wants to prepare for you."

Chi Xi was startled again: "What kind of environment?"

Yin Luming's eyes drooped slightly, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xie Qizhu knows that you are dead."

Chi Xi's expression dimmed instantly - Shun: "I know."

"For the dead, death is the pain of death; for the living, death is farewell and reluctance." Yin Luming said, "Even rational people cannot accept the death of the person they care about-the same And I can’t face people who have died but reappeared like before.”

Chi Xi pursed her lips: "Xiaozhu... I—I thought she would be afraid of me at first, but she wasn't."

Yin Luming said: "She is not afraid of you."

Chi Xi raised her eyes.

"She's afraid of losing you again."

Chi Xi was stunned.

"Descriptions of the dead in the real world vary according to different folk customs and mythological systems. The same thing is that the dead can't stay in this world for a long time, and they don't adapt to the world of the living." Yin Luming said, "So Xie Qizhu made your home and the mortuary put it together."

Even an absolutely rational person like Xie Qizhu, when it comes to the existence of Chi Xi, even began to "prefer to believe in what is, not to believe in what is not".

The morgue is the closest place to death in the hospital. Xie Qizhu didn't know if Chi Xi would like it, but she tried.

The same is true for the bamboo forest. Xie Qizhu didn't want Chi Xi to endure the pain of death reincarnation repeatedly, so he modified the terrain of the bamboo forest and asked the patient to go for a walk every day to share Chi Xi's pain.

After understanding Yin Luming's words, Chi Xi was stunned for a long time, with a strange expression on her face, and muttered, "But why didn't she ask me?"

As a dreamer, he is completely different from those ghosts in reality and rumors.

"Maybe she was worried that you would disappear." Yin Luming said, "As the folklore goes, when the dead soul realizes that he is dead and eliminates his obsession, he will really die."

Therefore, when Yin Luming talked to Chi Xi last time, Xie Qizhu directly reset the dream.

She wasn't worried that Yin Luming would ask about this dream, but that Yin Luming would unlock Chi Xi's obsession and make Chi Xi disappear completely!

After that, Xie Qizhu began to treat Yin Luming as an enemy, and wanted to drive Yin Luming out of this dream as soon as possible.

Chi Xi showed an expression that seemed to be crying but not smiling.

He stood up abruptly, wanting to go back to the bedroom to get the tablet - but when he saw Yin Lumeng, he calmed down a little.

The cat in his arms "meowed" with some dissatisfaction.

Chi Xi bit her lips: "Brother Yin, what do you want to do when you tell me this? You know that it's even more impossible for me to betray Xiaozhu."

Yin Luming looked at Chi Xi's resolute, even death-defying expression, and suddenly smiled: "This expression of yours should be photographed for Xie Qizhu to see."

Then Yin Luming's expression became cold again, "You made the same mistake as her."

"What?" Chi Xi retorted without thinking, "I didn't hide anything from Xiaozhu."

Yin Luming stood up: "Follow me."

Chi Xi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and followed the cat with her arms in her arms.

……

Going out from Chi Xi's house and turning left is the elevator, Yin Lumeng pressed the up button and waited for the elevator to come down.

After the elevator on the left came down first and opened the door, Chi Xi was about to go in when Yin Luming stopped him: "Wait a minute."

He randomly pressed a floor inside and came out again, watched the elevator go up, and then pressed it again to go up.

Then the second elevator came down slowly.

Chi Xi didn't understand: "Why do you want to sit in this seat?"

Yin Luming said indifferently: "The destination is different."

After entering, Yin Lumeng glanced at the elevator buttons - after Chi Xi entered, the B1 and B2 buttons that he hadn't seen when he was riding appeared.

The two walked into the elevator, and Yin Luming asked Chi Xi to go to the third floor.

Chi Xi pressed the button with a half understanding.

After the elevator stopped again and opened the door, it was a deserted and quiet corridor on the third floor.

Chi Xi bit her lips and said, "Brother Yin, what do you want to show me?"

Yin Luming said, "Go and see me."

Yin Luming came to the ward where he lived before, opened the door, walked in, and turned on the light with a "snap".

Chi Xi followed in without knowing why, and then opened her mouth in shock.

There were people lying on the four beds in the ward.

The two on the right lay an old man and a pregnant woman respectively, who seem to be Liu Dingguo and Wang Ju; while the two on the left are more familiar faces.

One of them was standing next to the hospital bed, looking down at this patient who was exactly like him.

All the patients were as quiet and motionless as corpses.

Chi Xi murmured, "What is this?"

"This is probably the 'data' that Xie Qizhu backed up when we entered the hospital." Yin Luming walked to his backup side, took his arm and glanced at it, and read, "Backup No. 67, Bed 1."

Note that there will be backups in different situations at different times.

There are rumors among patients that if you take the elevator on the right at midnight, you will see ghosts, and you can even see your dead self. It is probably because you entered the third floor here as a backup data by mistake.

Yin Luming turned to look at Chi Xi: "You don't know at all?"

Chi Xi seemed to have the feeling of going through the level with Yin Luming back then, and shook her head: "I don't know."

Yin Luming looked at him, and asked in a calm tone: "There are two elevators in the hospital, usually only one is useful, and the other one has sealed off so many floors, are you not curious?"

Chi Xi gave a wry smile in embarrassment—"I don't know much about Xiaozhu's experiments and dreams, so I thought she had a special purpose..."

Yin Luming nodded: "This is your problem - you did not hide it from her, but you never asked her."

One is used to handling everything independently, and the other is used to silently looking up at the back of another person.

In a sense, Chi Xi and Xie Qizhu are indeed a match made in heaven—yes.

They will not have conflicts in this way, but the exchange of information will always stop on the surface.

Two perfectly matching gears can go on spinning tacitly forever, but only mismatched gears can rub against each other to produce strong sparks.

Chi Xi stood at the door of the ward, looking like a sculpture. She didn't even pay attention to the cat in her arms "meowing" several times, wanting the excrement officer to scratch its back.

After a while, Chi Xi gave a wry smile, her brows and eyes full of despair: "Brother Yin is right...it's because I don't know Xiao Zhu well enough."

He took a deep breath and laughed at himself, "Fortunately, after this dream is over, it doesn't matter anymore."

Yin Luming said indifferently: "Whether it is important or not is up to the person concerned to decide."

Chi Xi pursed her lips again.

There was a sudden silence between the two of them.

After a while, Chi Xi whispered, "Brother Yin, why are you telling me this?"

Yin Luming sighed silently, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes were a little calmer: "Chi Xi, I—I told you from the beginning—I just want to know what obsessions you still have, and how I can help you do what."

Chi Xi opened her mouth, but said nothing.

"You and Xie Qizhu are both the dreamers of this dream. Although we broke the campus with flowers and scorched earth together, maybe you still don't know... To achieve this kind of dream where two dreams are entangled, two dreamers need to be in a certain— There is the same obsession."

Chi Xi was taken aback.

Yin Luming said: "If neither you nor Xie Qizhu had any obsessions, then this dream would not have happened—so, do you know why you are unwilling to compose this dream?"

Chi Xi lowered her head, loosened her hands, and the fat cat in her arms fell to the ground.

The fat cat scratched him dissatisfied, but Chi Xi didn't feel any pain.

After a while, he raised his head, turned around and ran away suddenly.

Yin Luming stopped where he was, leaning against the wall with his usual expression.

Shen Lou floated out slowly: "Aren't you chasing after?"

Yin Luming said: "Their emotional problems will ultimately have to be resolved by themselves."

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows: "What if they decide to continue to maintain this dream after communicating their hearts?"

Yin Luming was silent, and after a while he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't break through."

"No more rewards?"

"It's just a three-star reward." Yin Luming said, "Just brush it again."

Shen Lou crossed his arms and looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "I don't see that you can still be a relationship mentor, it seems that you have a lot of experience?"

Yin Luming looked up at him—for a while, and said in a cold tone, "Speak well."

Shen Lou spread out his hands: "I just care about my contractor's love life."

Yin Luming had a strange feeling—I don't know whether this strange feeling came from Shen Lou's question or his displeasure with this question, and said flatly: "My mother is single."

Shen Lou looked at him sideways for a while, then suddenly laughed, and changed the subject: "What are you still doing here, don't you plan to go back to sleep?"

Yin Luming pointed to the replica lying on the bed with his chin: "You don't want it?"

Shen Lou glanced at "Yin Lumeng" on the bed, and instantly understood Yin Lumeng's meaning: "You want to give this body to me?"

Yin Luming said: "Didn't you complain that you didn't use your body a few times? It's rare to have one."

Shen Lou rubbed his chin, a little strange: "Seeing that I use the same body as yours, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"What's the matter?" Yin Luming became impatient, "Hurry up and take it back to sleep."

Shen Lou closed his mouth and submerged into the body of "Yin Lumeng" on the bed.

"Yin Luming" sat up, moved his hands and feet, and then showed some dissatisfaction: "It doesn't work."

Yin Luming said: "You didn't feel disgusted when you used my body."

"Yin Luming" said: "Your body is much easier to use than this fake."

He suddenly fell down weakly, Shen Lou got out of his body, and said reservedly: "I won't want a body that isn't perfect."

Yin Luming looked at him expressionlessly.

According to the law of this dream, the player's body copied by Xie Qizhu should be 100% copied, otherwise there would be no meaning of restoring and keeping it as a specimen.

But Shen Lou showed a long-lost arrogant expression, which meant "you don't believe me, try it yourself".

Yin Luming didn't have the ability of Shen Lou to leave his body, so he couldn't verify whether what Shen Lou said was true or not.

He and Shen Lou looked at each other for a moment, then looked away: "It's up to you."

Yin Luming walked out.

Shen Lou looked back at Yin Luming's duplicate body on the bed, shook his head with some pity, and then disappeared into the air.

……

Chi Xi ran wildly all the way to the operating room on the top floor.

He left his monitoring tablet at home, and without thinking too much, he just ran to the door of the operating room.

After stopping, Chi Xi felt that she seemed a little too excited.

What Yin Luming said were all Yin Luming's guesses, and it was uncertain how much of it was true.

But during the time Chi Xi and Yin Luming knew each other, Yin Luming's analysis in the dream was almost complete, which made him subconsciously feel that his analysis of Xie Qizhu must be correct.

He considered himself Xie Qizhu's boyfriend, and felt that he respected Xie Qizhu by only asking about Xie Qizhu's affairs, but he didn't realize the difference between respect and treating each other like a guest.

The door of the operating room opened.

Chi Xi was taken aback.

The nurse inside fell to the ground, every neck was covered with bite marks, stumbling around like a broken doll.

It's just that these nurses are not living people, so there is no blood flowing out, so it doesn't look so scary.

Xie Qizhu was sitting on the operating table, slowly adjusting his collar.

Chi Xi looked over carefully, and met a pair of lavender but cloudy eyes.

Xie Qizhu got off the operating table and slowly approached him.

A chilling sense of danger emanated from her body, even scarier than what Chi Xi had seen in the flower-scorched campus—the whole class of zombies.

Chi Xi didn't flinch, she took the initiative to meet her.

Xie Qizhu was about the same height as him, and the two of them could just look at each other.

Xie Qizhu stretched out his hand, caressing Chi Xi's cheek lightly as if lovingly.If ordinary people saw it, they might think that Xie Qizhu was flirting with Chi Xi.

But Chi Xi, who was very familiar with Xie Qizhu, knew that the current Xie Qizhu had completely lost his mind and was swallowed by the zombie virus.

On the other hand, this also means that Xie Qizhu's experimental direction has failed.

Chi Xi gently hugged Xie Qizhu, and murmured: "Xiaozhu... sorry, I'm too self-righteous."

He murmured in a low voice, "Maybe I've always felt inferior in front of you, thinking that you are too good, and I can't do anything other than support you in life. Although it may be too late now, but At least for the last time we are together, I want to try—to see if I can understand you better and give you what you want."

A sudden sharp pain exploded in his neck.

Chi Xi was so painful that she couldn't open her eyes, she hugged Xie Qizhu's hand tightly, then loosened it as much as possible, and said intermittently: "Next, I, I may be different from before, maybe not so obedient, obedient - but that doesn't mean I will betray you, it just means I love you more."

He closed his eyes.

- A thick darkness bloomed from Chi Xi's body, spreading to the entire dream in an instant.

……

Yin Luming stood at the entrance of the outpatient department with a stinky face.

As soon as he went back to lie down, before he even had time to close his eyes, the dream reset.

If I had known, he wouldn't have had a heart-to-heart talk with Chi Xi in the middle of the night. Wouldn't it be good to talk about it when I woke up?

Several newcomers looked at the pink piggy pajamas on Yin Luming's body, and they all showed weird expressions, as if they didn't expect such a powerful boss to like to wear such pink pajamas.

Zhao Xiuxiu's face was pale, and she seemed to be in a daze. Seeing the scene in front of her clearly, she let out a scream, and crawled to hide behind Nie Jun, holding Nie Jun's arm and trembling.

Nie Jun was a little confused and comforted, "Don't be afraid, he doesn't dare to do anything to you..."

Then Nie Jun frowned.

The direction of Zhao Xiuxiu's fear...doesn't seem to be Shi Kaiyuan?

She followed Zhao Xiuxiu's gaze and saw the high school girl named Ye Qingqing chatting beside Yin Lumeng.

——Afraid of Ye Qingqing?
