Chapter 66 The Lost Dream
The speed of time in the Nightmare game is different from that in reality. Xie Qizhu's "reincarnation" mechanism makes time more chaotic. Although in the dream, I don't know how many weddings have passed, but in reality, only two days have passed.
Qin Yue had already woken up two days ago, this time Yin Luming was actually not sure that he would be able to find Qin Yue.
However, to his surprise, Qin Yue was still in the original ward.
There was a nurse in the ward, Yin Luming directly used the disguise skill of the Deep Sea Creeper to become a nurse this time, and walked back and forth in Qin Yue's ward pretending to be rounds.
Compared to last time, Qin Yue seemed to be in a worse mood, lying on the window looking at the scenery outside, her little face was full of irritability.
Yin Luming frowned slightly, thought for a while, pretended to sweep the floor, and asked the nurse who took care of Yueyue: "Is that little girl feeling unwell?"
The nurse saw that Yin Luming was exactly like the other nurses, and thought that the new colleague had no doubt about him, and sighed, "It's not true, it's just insomnia."
Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.
"Didn't this little girl just wake up from a coma a few days ago? I don't know if it was because she had been in a coma for too long. After waking up, she couldn't fall asleep. She woke up after a while." The nurse whispered, "You are a new Come here? The little girl has a bad temper if she can't sleep well, so be careful not to provoke her."
Yin Luming frowned.
He found an excuse to go to the pantry and summoned the clockwork puppet doll.
"Yueyue is still in the original ward." Yin Luming pointed to the ward, "After the nurse leaves, you can go in and play with Yueyue."
The puppet doll shook off Yin Lumeng's hand with an unhappy face, and immediately waved her arms when she heard the back, staring eagerly at Yueyue's ward.
When the nurse left, the puppet doll rushed in like a puppy that had found its owner.
Yin Luming didn't disturb the two children's happy time, and only called out in a low voice, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Lou's voice sounded at the right time: "What?"
"Yueyue suffers from insomnia." Yin Luming leaned against the wall and lightly tapped the faucet in the tea room with his finger, "I wake up after a short sleep, and have a bad temper when I wake up... sounds familiar."
Shen Lou said: "Same as you."
"You said that my insomnia is because my dreams are gone." Yin Luming withdrew his fingers and said calmly, "Is the same situation with Yueyue?"
"Perhaps." Shen Lou said, "If the dream is lost, then the little girl's amnesia can also explain it. The dream cannot be separated separately, and it must carry the obsession of the dreamer."
Yueyue's obsession is Yangyang, and after her dreams are lost, her memory about Yangyang is also lost.
The cause of all this is undoubtedly Zhou Ziqi who is still stuck in the dreamland of the clockwork fairy tale playground for some reason.
Yin Luming was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "From another perspective... Could it be the same reason as Yueyue's loss of my dreams?"
His performance is very similar to Yueyue's, which made him wonder whether he also became a dreamer in the nightmare game because of some obsession, and then for some reason, his dream was taken away, followed by His obsession and dreams disappeared together with his memory and peaceful sleep.
Shen Lou's voice fell silent.
After a long while, Shen Lou said indifferently: "There is also this possibility—or in other words, this is the only possibility."
Yin Luming heard something unusual: "You knew it a long time ago?"
Shen Lou said: "From the first time you said that you never dream, I guessed it. Only the nightmare game can make your dreams out of your existence, but it will not make you a vegetable without any consciousness."
Yin Luming frowned.
"Don't expect Nightmare Games to help you retrieve your dreams. Now Nightmare Games' detection of dreams is obviously insufficient. Your dreams should be robbed like that little girl's clockwork fairy tale playground. But Nightmare Games only need to detect it. When Tu Mengzhe wakes up, he will break through the level as a dream." Shen Lou said, "It's better to wait for my strength to recover and help you find it."
Yin Luming said: "I remember you said before that you can enter someone's consciousness to find his dreams."
"If your dream is still connected with you." Shen Lou said, "If you have been separated from the dream for too long, the connection will become very weak. I am afraid it will be difficult for my current strength to find a point of resonance."
Yin Luming remained silent.
Ever since he could remember, he had never had a single dream.
If we deduce it in this way, it can be said that shortly after he was born, his dreams were artificially deprived.
"Are you sure my dream is still there?"
"It must still be there." Shen Lou gave an affirmative answer, "Even if you die, your dream may still continue."
"What happens to dreams that are deprived?"
"It's hard to say. The dreamer is not only the creator of the dream, but also the restrainer of the dream. The knowledge, experience, and memory of the dreamer set the direction and boundaries for the development of the dream. The dream that lost the dreamer but still survived may be If the foundation is not solid, it will directly destroy, or it may develop uncontrollably into something unpredictable."
Yin Luming folded his arms, walked to the window and looked out.
Outside the hospital is the city's main road, full of traffic and orderly, pedestrians are walking slowly on the green road, and occasionally there are patients walking outside.
Yin Luming's eyes drooped slightly.
After a while, he suddenly said: "You said last time, the younger the dreamer, the more difficult the dream."
"It's roughly the same rule. The closer to reality, the simpler the dream."
"Grandpa said that I never slept well when he adopted me. At that time, I should have just been born." Yin Luming said, "How difficult would a newborn child's dream be?"
Shen Lou's voice was rarely filled with shock: "The dream of a newborn...it's hard to imagine that it can exist forever, and a dream without any foundation of reality can't exist alone. Because you don't even know what will happen in his dream. Something indescribable happened."
But Yin Luming's dream is indeed not with him.
Yin Luming rubbed the center of his brows: "Then, what exactly is the person who took my dream away from me?"
What was a dream that even Shen Lou couldn't estimate the difficulty of, what was it being used for?
Shen Lou said: "Perhaps we can start with sinking the anchor."
Zhou Ziqi took away Qin Yue's dream, maybe it was the same method as Yin Luming's dream was taken away.
Yin Luming's face darkened slightly.
He had always maintained a passive and vigilant attitude towards Shen Mao before, even if he obtained Shen Mao's information from the system, it was mainly for self-protection.
Now it seems... Shen Ao may be deeply involved with the wishing talisman and him.
The reason why Lei Yingzhe killed Chi Xi was probably not for the wishing talisman, but to let the wishing talisman play its true role and artificially create a double-painted dreamer's dream where life and death are entangled.
It seems that he has to find a way to take the initiative to find trouble with Shen Ancho.
The two chatted for a while, and a shadow appeared on the ground, and a clockwork puppet came out of the shadow.
Yin Luming asked: "Have you played enough with Yueyue?"
The clockwork puppet nodded reluctantly, and returned to the illustrated book with a "whoosh".
Yin Luming went to look for Xie Qizhu again.
Xie Qizhu hugged the blurred chestnut, silently looking at the memory left to her in her dream.
Yin Luming thought for a while, left the chestnuts and memory items with her temporarily, and went home first.
……
The villa area on the third ring road of the city is a well-known gathering place for rich people in this city, and every household is rich and famous.
Yin Luming's car was parked at the door of one of the buildings.
There was a man standing at the entrance of the villa, and when he saw his car approaching, he immediately waved his hands excitedly.
Yin Luming got out of the car and looked at the opposite person with some surprise: "Why are you here?"
Mi Ampere touched his head, "Hehe" smiled and said, "I have something to ask Brother Yin."
He looked back at Yin Luming's villa, and exclaimed, "Is Brother Yin's family so rich?"
Yin Luming said indifferently: "It's just grandpa's assets."
Bringing Mi Anpei into the house, Mi Anpei yelled enviously at the elegant living room: "Hey, the world is still good, much better than the dark place in the underworld..."
Yin Luming poured him a cup of tea: "What do you want from me?"
Mi Ampei waved his hand with some regret: "Hey, I'm a dead person after all, and I can't eat things from the world."
Immediately straightened his face, "Actually, it's not me, it's Chi Xi."
When he stretched out his hand, a faint light was released, which condensed into the appearance of Chi Xi on the sofa beside him.
Yin Luming was startled: "Chi Xi?"
Mi Ampere scratched his head: "After the dream was broken, I put Xiao Chi's soul away, and I was going to take him to reincarnation when I returned to the underworld, but he said he remembered something, so he sent a leave note to his boss coming."
Compared to the solidity in the dream, Chi Xi's soul in reality looks vacuous and fragile, as if it will collapse at any moment.
Mi Ampere urged: "Hurry up, Xiao Chi's soul has been delayed for too long."
Chi Xi shook her head, saw Yin Luming clearly, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Yin, do you remember that we went to visit Qi Xiaobei's family together?"
Yin Luming nodded: "I remember."
After he used the sea pearl to make a wish to improve Qi Xiaobei's family's life, he went with Chi Xi to see if the Qi family's life had really improved.
"After I came back from Qi's family, I saw a small wooden carving made by Qi Xiaobei's parents in a roadside decoration shop." Chi Xi said, "I thought I could give Qi Xiaobei's family more income, so I bought it for Xiaozhu. A pendant."
Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.
"I didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it, that pendant is very similar to the wishing charm!" Chi Xi rubbed her head, "Why didn't I remember it before?"
Yin Luming frowned.
Shen Lou suddenly appeared, frowned and said, "Leaving aside the problem of memory, it may be that the sense of existence has been deliberately reduced."
"Presence?"
Miampe said: "Ah, there is indeed a separate spell or power that makes certain things look like stones and weeds on the side of the road. It does exist, but you can't remember it without deliberately paying attention."
Mi Ampere hesitated for a moment, and continued, "That's really possible. Before reincarnation, you have to filter all the memories of your soul. That's probably why Xiao Chi remembered it."
Yin Luming's lips were drawn into a line.
Mi Ampere and Chi Xi bid farewell to Yin Luming after explaining, "Xiao Chi has to be reincarnated quickly."
Chi Xi responded, smiled at Yin Lumeng, and was taken back by Mi Ampere.
Mi Ampere borrowed the cellar of Yin Luming's house, opened the gate of Yin, and returned to the underworld.
Yin Luming leaned against the cellar door, frowning.
Shen Lou said: "Are you angry?"
Yin Luming glanced at him expressionlessly: "How do you know?"
Shen Lou smiled and said, "Feeling."
Yin Luming did not refute.
He does get a little pissed off.
The point of anger is that the masterminds behind the scenes use the craftsmanship that Qi Xiaobei's parents depend on for a living.
When he and Chi Xi went to visit Qi's family before, they saw the situation of Qi's family with their own eyes - Qi Xiaobei's father has a disabled leg, and his mother sometimes loses consciousness. wood carving.
After using Haizhu to make a wish, under the influence of the Nightmare game, the Qi family's woodcarving sales have improved. Qi Xiaobei's father has more ability to study deeper woodcarving techniques, and the carved decorations have become more and more popular. fine.
Presumably their lives will be more stable in the future.
The people behind the scenes took advantage of this poor couple to promote their own agenda.
Yin Luming tensed his face and went to the living room to make a few phone calls.
After he finished making the phone call, he saw Shen Lou leaning on the sofa drinking tea leisurely.
Shen Lou commented: "The taste of this tea is not bad."
Yin Luming put down his phone and walked over: "Can you drink tea?"
Miampe can't even drink it.
Shen Lou put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Don't compare me with ordinary dead souls."
Then he asked, "Have you found someone to investigate?"
Yin Luming sat on the sofa and let out a "hmm".
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows: "You can arrange this kind of thing with just one phone call, your power is quite good."
Yin Luming said indifferently: "It's just the contacts left by grandpa."
Shen Lou looked around: "Then, your grandfather isn't at home?"
Yin Luming frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Lou smiled and said, "I'm just curious about your family."
Yin Luming was silent for a while: "Grandpa passed away a few years ago."
Shen Lou let out a "huh".
No wonder he couldn't feel the atmosphere of other people in this villa, like a model house with magnificent decoration.
Yin Luming saw that there seemed to be problems with Shen Lou, so he said in a breath: "Now I live alone, I don't think it's troublesome, so I don't hire a servant, I only occasionally call part-time workers to clean up, cook and sleep by myself-Is there any problem? "
Shen Lou twitched his fingers: "There is one more question."
Yin Luming rubbed his eyebrows: "Say."
"Why does your grandpa have a nightmare illustration book?"
Yin Luming found the Nightmare Illustrated Book where Shen Lou was in his grandfather's study, and he had always had this doubt: "You don't know?"
"To be honest, before I was awakened by you, I basically had no perception of the outside world." Shen Lou spread his hands, "I have been sleeping all this time."
Yin Luming frowned for a while, then suddenly raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at Shen Lou: "So it was a lie when you said that you can randomly pick people into the Nightmare game?"
Shen Lou: "..."
Accidentally slipped my tongue.
Yin Luming had already seen the answer from Shen Lou's expression, and sneered with a "huh".
Seeing that she was exposed, Shen Lou didn't hide it anymore, and sighed slightly: "I kind of miss you who were relatively simple at the beginning."
Now Yin Luming is getting harder and harder to fool.
Yin Luming looked up at Shen Lou, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you have a relationship with Grandpa?"
"What does your grandfather look like? If he was a former game player, he might have dealt with him before."
Yin Luming called up a photo of his grandfather on his mobile phone. He was a kind-hearted old man with a white beard.
Shen Lou rubbed his chin: "I have no impression."
Yin Luming put down his phone and unconsciously tapped on the desktop.
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you care about this all of a sudden?"
Yin Luming looked up at him.
From the name "Qihai" to the communication in the last dream, Yin Luming found too many "deja vu" in Shen Lou, but after careful study, he couldn't remember why there was such a strong sense of déjà vu. sense of sight.
Thinking about it carefully, it might not be a coincidence that Shen Lou's Nightmare Illustrated Book appeared in his family's study.
However, most of Shen Lou's memory was lost, and he couldn't answer his doubts.
... No, sometimes it is difficult for Yin Luming to tell if Shen Lou really lost his memory, or if he remembered it and deliberately kept it secret.
Knowing what Shen Lou didn't want to say, he couldn't ask anything, Yin Luming finally just turned his eyes away: "Let's chat casually. It's time to eat."
Mi Ampere's head came out of the door: "Dinner is ready?!"
Yin Luming: "..."
Shen Lou turned to look at him.
Mi Ampere gave a dry laugh: "Xiao Chi has already been reincarnated, I was thinking about taking a leave of absence, so I came to Brother Yin's place for a meal."
Yin Luming said: "Aren't you forbidden to eat human food?"
"As long as I set up an incense stick, I can eat offerings." Mi Ampere looked at Yin Luming eagerly, "I have been in the underworld all year round, and I can hardly eat offerings from the world..."
Yin Luming rubbed the center of his eyebrows and sighed: "Okay."
……
Mi Anpei had a small table to himself, and ate with incense and was very satisfied.
Shen Lou put down his chopsticks and said with great satisfaction, "It tastes good."
Seeing his complacent look, Yin Luming felt a little upset for some reason: "Since the rice wasted for nothing, I washed the dishes."
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand obediently, and went to the kitchen with all the dishes.
Mi Ampere wiped his mouth, and quickly found an excuse to slip away when he saw the situation was bad: "Brother Yin, my vacation is almost over, so I'm going back first."
When Shen Lou came out after washing the dishes, Yin Luming had already gone to the living room, made a pot of hot tea, leaned on the sofa and frowned at the tablet.
"We have found out the suspicious people who handled the woodcarving after they came out of Qi's house." Yin Luming turned the tablet upside down and showed it to Shen Lou, "These people who are in charge of polishing and sterilizing are more suspicious."
Shen Lou glanced at it and pointed his finger: "This is it."
Yin Luming turned around and saw that the photo Shen Lou pointed to was a middle-aged woman in charge of sterilization.
"The lady?"
"It's not her." Shen Lou floated over and tapped the screen, "It's the man behind her."
It was only then that Yin Luming noticed that there was an ordinary-looking man next to him, who couldn't be identified after being thrown into the crowd.
If it wasn't for Shen Lou's reminder, Yin Luming would have even ignored this person.
When Yin Luming realized this, he already understood why Shen Lou was sure that there was something wrong with this person at a glance.
Just like Chi Xi's memory of the woodcarving, people always subconsciously ignore the existence of this person.
Yin Luming dialed the phone again and asked someone to check the person's background.
Soon the person's information was sent.
This man was named Liu San, and it was said that he was a temporary worker hired by the sterilization factory. He was hardworking and capable, and he lived in the sterilization factory.He is not only responsible for the sterilization of these woodcarvings of the Qi family, but also other handicrafts, stone carving decorations, etc. are all sterilized by him.
As for the origin of Liu San himself, no one knows.If it wasn't for Yin Luming's investigation on purpose, most people wouldn't even remember the existence of Liu San.
Yin Luming picked up his coat: "Let's go take a look now."
The police in the real world can't handle this kind of thing, and the Nightmare game hasn't fixed this loophole, so it's better to arrest people directly.
Just as he was about to go out, another call came.
Yin Luming answered the phone, was stunned for a moment, then thanked him, and slowly let go of the doorknob.
Shen Lou vaguely heard the content on the other end of the phone: "Run away?"
Yin Luming's tone was indifferent: "I resigned and left a few minutes ago."
Shen Lou shrugged: "When he was noticed by others, he probably knew that he was exposed."
Yin Luming closed his eyes and was silent for a while. When he opened his eyes again, his emotions had calmed down: "It's not bad news."
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows.
"I thought they didn't have any restrictions on doing this kind of thing, but now it seems that they have run away after hearing the news, which shows that they are afraid and fearful." Yin Luming said lightly, "There must be some person or organization, once exposed, their previous efforts will be wasted .”
Shen Lou was a little surprised, then laughed: "You are calm."
Yin Luming glanced at him: "As I said, my emotional threshold has always been lower than that of ordinary people."
He went back to the sofa and sat down, "Doesn't Nightmare games have a similar protection mechanism?"
Shen Lou said: "Yes."
Yin Luming said calmly: "But you don't remember?"
Shen Loudao: "Actually, I remember, but now I tell you that you can't get in touch—the defense mechanism of the Nightmare game is actually the player. To be precise, it is the ranked player."
Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.
"I can't explain the details to non-ranked players." Shen Lou gestured at his mouth, "If the system punishes you, it will probably fall on you. So you should rush to rank."
"I don't have enough points?"
"The points are enough, but if you want to officially enter the ranking, you have to complete a task." Shen Loudao, "Do you know why there are only one hundred players in the ranking?"
Yin Luming frowned.
Shen Lou smiled and said, "Because there are only one hundred ranking titles - if you want to be on the list, you have to take away other people's titles."
Yin Luming frowned: "Player PK?"
This seems to be contrary to Nightmare Games' consistent protection strategy for players.
Shen Lou said with a smile: "Of course not... Actually, I want you to sneak into the dreams of ranked players and break their dreams."
Yin Luming was startled: "A player's?"
Shen Lou snapped his fingers lightly: "The personal space of the players is their dreamland, you should know that, right?"
Yin Luming nodded.
"In the personal space, players are their own dreamers, and they can create their own dream paradise at will. And the personal space where all desires can be satisfied will eventually make many players addicted to it and unwilling to leave."
Yin Luming understood: "It's the same as the dreamer who is bound by the dream."
It's just that these players are corrupted by personal space and bound by desires.
"The value of ordinary players is not high, but ranked players are experts at breaking through levels. Nightmare Games certainly doesn't want them to become useless." Shen Loudao, "If you want to enter the ranking and upgrade the ranking after entering the ranking, you have to go to the Break the dream of ranked players. When you become a ranked player, you will face the same challenges."
He paused and said intentionally, "Your current points are definitely not the bottom of the ranking. If you want to be stable, you can choose the [-]th place. Of course, you can also choose the highest position that you can challenge with your current points..."
Yin Luming said without hesitation: "Choose the highest position."
Qin Yue had already woken up two days ago, this time Yin Luming was actually not sure that he would be able to find Qin Yue.
However, to his surprise, Qin Yue was still in the original ward.
There was a nurse in the ward, Yin Luming directly used the disguise skill of the Deep Sea Creeper to become a nurse this time, and walked back and forth in Qin Yue's ward pretending to be rounds.
Compared to last time, Qin Yue seemed to be in a worse mood, lying on the window looking at the scenery outside, her little face was full of irritability.
Yin Luming frowned slightly, thought for a while, pretended to sweep the floor, and asked the nurse who took care of Yueyue: "Is that little girl feeling unwell?"
The nurse saw that Yin Luming was exactly like the other nurses, and thought that the new colleague had no doubt about him, and sighed, "It's not true, it's just insomnia."
Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.
"Didn't this little girl just wake up from a coma a few days ago? I don't know if it was because she had been in a coma for too long. After waking up, she couldn't fall asleep. She woke up after a while." The nurse whispered, "You are a new Come here? The little girl has a bad temper if she can't sleep well, so be careful not to provoke her."
Yin Luming frowned.
He found an excuse to go to the pantry and summoned the clockwork puppet doll.
"Yueyue is still in the original ward." Yin Luming pointed to the ward, "After the nurse leaves, you can go in and play with Yueyue."
The puppet doll shook off Yin Lumeng's hand with an unhappy face, and immediately waved her arms when she heard the back, staring eagerly at Yueyue's ward.
When the nurse left, the puppet doll rushed in like a puppy that had found its owner.
Yin Luming didn't disturb the two children's happy time, and only called out in a low voice, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Lou's voice sounded at the right time: "What?"
"Yueyue suffers from insomnia." Yin Luming leaned against the wall and lightly tapped the faucet in the tea room with his finger, "I wake up after a short sleep, and have a bad temper when I wake up... sounds familiar."
Shen Lou said: "Same as you."
"You said that my insomnia is because my dreams are gone." Yin Luming withdrew his fingers and said calmly, "Is the same situation with Yueyue?"
"Perhaps." Shen Lou said, "If the dream is lost, then the little girl's amnesia can also explain it. The dream cannot be separated separately, and it must carry the obsession of the dreamer."
Yueyue's obsession is Yangyang, and after her dreams are lost, her memory about Yangyang is also lost.
The cause of all this is undoubtedly Zhou Ziqi who is still stuck in the dreamland of the clockwork fairy tale playground for some reason.
Yin Luming was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "From another perspective... Could it be the same reason as Yueyue's loss of my dreams?"

Yin Luming remained silent.
Ever since he could remember, he had never had a single dream.
If we deduce it in this way, it can be said that shortly after he was born, his dreams were artificially deprived.
"Are you sure my dream is still there?"
"It must still be there." Shen Lou gave an affirmative answer, "Even if you die, your dream may still continue."
"What happens to dreams that are deprived?"
"It's hard to say. The dreamer is not only the creator of the dream, but also the restrainer of the dream. The knowledge, experience, and memory of the dreamer set the direction and boundaries for the development of the dream.

Yin Luming folded his arms, walked to the window and looked out.
Outside the hospital is the city's main road, full of traffic and orderly, pedestrians are walking slowly on the green road, and occasionally there are patients walking outside.
Yin Luming's eyes drooped slightly.

"It's roughly the same rule. The closer to reality, the simpler the dream."
"Grandpa said that I never slept well when he adopted me. At that time, I should have just been born." Yin Luming said, "How difficult would a newborn child's dream be?"
Shen Lou's voice was rarely filled with shock: "The dream of a newborn...it's hard to imagine that it can exist forever, and a dream without any foundation of reality can't exist alone. Because you don't even know what will happen in his dream. Something indescribable happened."
But Yin Luming's dream is indeed not with him.

The two chatted for a while, and a shadow appeared on the ground, and a clockwork puppet came out of the shadow.
Yin Luming asked: "Have you played enough with Yueyue?"
The clockwork puppet nodded reluctantly, and returned to the illustrated book with a "whoosh".
Yin Luming went to look for Xie Qizhu again.
Xie Qizhu hugged the blurred chestnut, silently looking at the memory left to her in her dream.
Yin Luming thought for a while, left the chestnuts and memory items with her temporarily, and went home first.
……
The villa area on the third ring road of the city is a well-known gathering place for rich people in this city, and every household is rich and famous.
Yin Luming's car was parked at the door of one of the buildings.
There was a man standing at the entrance of the villa, and when he saw his car approaching, he immediately waved his hands excitedly.
Yin Luming got out of the car and looked at the opposite person with some surprise: "Why are you here?"
Mi Ampere touched his head, "Hehe" smiled and said, "I have something to ask Brother Yin."
He looked back at Yin Luming's villa, and exclaimed, "Is Brother Yin's family so rich?"
Yin Luming said indifferently: "It's just grandpa's assets."
Bringing Mi Anpei into the house, Mi Anpei yelled enviously at the elegant living room: "Hey, the world is still good, much better than the dark place in the underworld..."
Yin Luming poured him a cup of tea: "What do you want from me?"
Mi Ampei waved his hand with some regret: "Hey, I'm a dead person after all, and I can't eat things from the world."
Immediately straightened his face, "Actually, it's not me, it's Chi Xi."
When he stretched out his hand, a faint light was released, which condensed into the appearance of Chi Xi on the sofa beside him.
Yin Luming was startled: "Chi Xi?"
Mi Ampere scratched his head: "After the dream was broken, I put Xiao Chi's soul away, and I was going to take him to reincarnation when I returned to the underworld, but he said he remembered something, so he sent a leave note to his boss coming."
Compared to the solidity in the dream, Chi Xi's soul in reality looks vacuous and fragile, as if it will collapse at any moment.
Mi Ampere urged: "Hurry up, Xiao Chi's soul has been delayed for too long."
Chi Xi shook her head, saw Yin Luming clearly, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Yin, do you remember that we went to visit Qi Xiaobei's family together?"
Yin Luming nodded: "I remember."
After he used the sea pearl to make a wish to improve Qi Xiaobei's family's life, he went with Chi Xi to see if the Qi family's life had really improved.
"After I came back from Qi's family, I saw a small wooden carving made by Qi Xiaobei's parents in a roadside decoration shop." Chi Xi said, "I thought I could give Qi Xiaobei's family more income, so I bought it for Xiaozhu. A pendant."
Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.
"I didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it, that pendant is very similar to the wishing charm!" Chi Xi rubbed her head, "Why didn't I remember it before?"
Yin Luming frowned.
Shen Lou suddenly appeared, frowned and said, "Leaving aside the problem of memory, it may be that the sense of existence has been deliberately reduced."
"Presence?"
Miampe said: "Ah, there is indeed a separate spell or power that makes certain things look like stones and weeds on the side of the road. It does exist, but you can't remember it without deliberately paying attention."
Mi Ampere hesitated for a moment, and continued, "That's really possible. Before reincarnation, you have to filter all the memories of your soul. That's probably why Xiao Chi remembered it."
Yin Luming's lips were drawn into a line.
Mi Ampere and Chi Xi bid farewell to Yin Luming after explaining, "Xiao Chi has to be reincarnated quickly."
Chi Xi responded, smiled at Yin Lumeng, and was taken back by Mi Ampere.
Mi Ampere borrowed the cellar of Yin Luming's house, opened the gate of Yin, and returned to the underworld.
Yin Luming leaned against the cellar door, frowning.
Shen Lou said: "Are you angry?"
Yin Luming glanced at him expressionlessly: "How do you know?"
Shen Lou smiled and said, "Feeling."
Yin Luming did not refute.
He does get a little pissed off.
The point of anger is that the masterminds behind the scenes use the craftsmanship that Qi Xiaobei's parents depend on for a living.
When he and Chi Xi went to visit Qi's family before, they saw the situation of Qi's family with their own eyes - Qi Xiaobei's father has a disabled leg, and his mother sometimes loses consciousness. wood carving.
After using Haizhu to make a wish, under the influence of the Nightmare game, the Qi family's woodcarving sales have improved. Qi Xiaobei's father has more ability to study deeper woodcarving techniques, and the carved decorations have become more and more popular. fine.
Presumably their lives will be more stable in the future.
The people behind the scenes took advantage of this poor couple to promote their own agenda.
Yin Luming tensed his face and went to the living room to make a few phone calls.
After he finished making the phone call, he saw Shen Lou leaning on the sofa drinking tea leisurely.
Shen Lou commented: "The taste of this tea is not bad."
Yin Luming put down his phone and walked over: "Can you drink tea?"
Miampe can't even drink it.
Shen Lou put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Don't compare me with ordinary dead souls."
Then he asked, "Have you found someone to investigate?"
Yin Luming sat on the sofa and let out a "hmm".
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows: "You can arrange this kind of thing with just one phone call, your power is quite good."
Yin Luming said indifferently: "It's just the contacts left by grandpa."
Shen Lou looked around: "Then, your grandfather isn't at home?"
Yin Luming frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Lou smiled and said, "I'm just curious about your family."
Yin Luming was silent for a while: "Grandpa passed away a few years ago."
Shen Lou let out a "huh".
No wonder he couldn't feel the atmosphere of other people in this villa, like a model house with magnificent decoration.
Yin Luming saw that there seemed to be problems with Shen Lou, so he said in a breath: "Now I live alone, I don't think it's troublesome, so I don't hire a servant, I only occasionally call part-time workers to clean up, cook and sleep by myself-Is there any problem? "
Shen Lou twitched his fingers: "There is one more question."
Yin Luming rubbed his eyebrows: "Say."
"Why does your grandpa have a nightmare illustration book?"
Yin Luming found the Nightmare Illustrated Book where Shen Lou was in his grandfather's study, and he had always had this doubt: "You don't know?"
"To be honest, before I was awakened by you, I basically had no perception of the outside world." Shen Lou spread his hands, "I have been sleeping all this time."
Yin Luming frowned for a while, then suddenly raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at Shen Lou: "So it was a lie when you said that you can randomly pick people into the Nightmare game?"
Shen Lou: "..."
Accidentally slipped my tongue.
Yin Luming had already seen the answer from Shen Lou's expression, and sneered with a "huh".
Seeing that she was exposed, Shen Lou didn't hide it anymore, and sighed slightly: "I kind of miss you who were relatively simple at the beginning."
Now Yin Luming is getting harder and harder to fool.
Yin Luming looked up at Shen Lou, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you have a relationship with Grandpa?"
"What does your grandfather look like? If he was a former game player, he might have dealt with him before."
Yin Luming called up a photo of his grandfather on his mobile phone. He was a kind-hearted old man with a white beard.
Shen Lou rubbed his chin: "I have no impression."
Yin Luming put down his phone and unconsciously tapped on the desktop.
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you care about this all of a sudden?"
Yin Luming looked up at him.
From the name "Qihai" to the communication in the last dream, Yin Luming found too many "deja vu" in Shen Lou, but after careful study, he couldn't remember why there was such a strong sense of déjà vu. sense of sight.
Thinking about it carefully, it might not be a coincidence that Shen Lou's Nightmare Illustrated Book appeared in his family's study.
However, most of Shen Lou's memory was lost, and he couldn't answer his doubts.
... No, sometimes it is difficult for Yin Luming to tell if Shen Lou really lost his memory, or if he remembered it and deliberately kept it secret.
Knowing what Shen Lou didn't want to say, he couldn't ask anything, Yin Luming finally just turned his eyes away: "Let's chat casually. It's time to eat."
Mi Ampere's head came out of the door: "Dinner is ready?!"
Yin Luming: "..."
Shen Lou turned to look at him.
Mi Ampere gave a dry laugh: "Xiao Chi has already been reincarnated, I was thinking about taking a leave of absence, so I came to Brother Yin's place for a meal."
Yin Luming said: "Aren't you forbidden to eat human food?"
"As long as I set up an incense stick, I can eat offerings." Mi Ampere looked at Yin Luming eagerly, "I have been in the underworld all year round, and I can hardly eat offerings from the world..."
Yin Luming rubbed the center of his eyebrows and sighed: "Okay."
……
Mi Anpei had a small table to himself, and ate with incense and was very satisfied.
Shen Lou put down his chopsticks and said with great satisfaction, "It tastes good."
Seeing his complacent look, Yin Luming felt a little upset for some reason: "Since the rice wasted for nothing, I washed the dishes."
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand obediently, and went to the kitchen with all the dishes.
Mi Ampere wiped his mouth, and quickly found an excuse to slip away when he saw the situation was bad: "Brother Yin, my vacation is almost over, so I'm going back first."
When Shen Lou came out after washing the dishes, Yin Luming had already gone to the living room, made a pot of hot tea, leaned on the sofa and frowned at the tablet.
"We have found out the suspicious people who handled the woodcarving after they came out of Qi's house." Yin Luming turned the tablet upside down and showed it to Shen Lou, "These people who are in charge of polishing and sterilizing are more suspicious."
Shen Lou glanced at it and pointed his finger: "This is it."
Yin Luming turned around and saw that the photo Shen Lou pointed to was a middle-aged woman in charge of sterilization.
"The lady?"
"It's not her." Shen Lou floated over and tapped the screen, "It's the man behind her."
It was only then that Yin Luming noticed that there was an ordinary-looking man next to him, who couldn't be identified after being thrown into the crowd.
If it wasn't for Shen Lou's reminder, Yin Luming would have even ignored this person.
When Yin Luming realized this, he already understood why Shen Lou was sure that there was something wrong with this person at a glance.
Just like Chi Xi's memory of the woodcarving, people always subconsciously ignore the existence of this person.
Yin Luming dialed the phone again and asked someone to check the person's background.
Soon the person's information was sent.
This man was named Liu San, and it was said that he was a temporary worker hired by the sterilization factory. He was hardworking and capable, and he lived in the sterilization factory.He is not only responsible for the sterilization of these woodcarvings of the Qi family, but also other handicrafts, stone carving decorations, etc. are all sterilized by him.
As for the origin of Liu San himself, no one knows.If it wasn't for Yin Luming's investigation on purpose, most people wouldn't even remember the existence of Liu San.
Yin Luming picked up his coat: "Let's go take a look now."
The police in the real world can't handle this kind of thing, and the Nightmare game hasn't fixed this loophole, so it's better to arrest people directly.
Just as he was about to go out, another call came.
Yin Luming answered the phone, was stunned for a moment, then thanked him, and slowly let go of the doorknob.
Shen Lou vaguely heard the content on the other end of the phone: "Run away?"
Yin Luming's tone was indifferent: "I resigned and left a few minutes ago."
Shen Lou shrugged: "When he was noticed by others, he probably knew that he was exposed."
Yin Luming closed his eyes and was silent for a while. When he opened his eyes again, his emotions had calmed down: "It's not bad news."
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows.
"I thought they didn't have any restrictions on doing this kind of thing, but now it seems that they have run away after hearing the news, which shows that they are afraid and fearful." Yin Luming said lightly, "There must be some person or organization, once exposed, their previous efforts will be wasted .”
Shen Lou was a little surprised, then laughed: "You are calm."
Yin Luming glanced at him: "As I said, my emotional threshold has always been lower than that of ordinary people."
He went back to the sofa and sat down, "Doesn't Nightmare games have a similar protection mechanism?"
Shen Lou said: "Yes."
Yin Luming said calmly: "But you don't remember?"
Shen Loudao: "Actually, I remember, but now I tell you that you can't get in touch—the defense mechanism of the Nightmare game is actually the player. To be precise, it is the ranked player."
Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.
"I can't explain the details to non-ranked players." Shen Lou gestured at his mouth, "If the system punishes you, it will probably fall on you. So you should rush to rank."
"I don't have enough points?"
"The points are enough, but if you want to officially enter the ranking, you have to complete a task." Shen Loudao, "Do you know why there are only one hundred players in the ranking?"
Yin Luming frowned.
Shen Lou smiled and said, "Because there are only one hundred ranking titles - if you want to be on the list, you have to take away other people's titles."
Yin Luming frowned: "Player PK?"
This seems to be contrary to Nightmare Games' consistent protection strategy for players.
Shen Lou said with a smile: "Of course not... Actually, I want you to sneak into the dreams of ranked players and break their dreams."
Yin Luming was startled: "A player's?"
Shen Lou snapped his fingers lightly: "The personal space of the players is their dreamland, you should know that, right?"
Yin Luming nodded.
"In the personal space, players are their own dreamers, and they can create their own dream paradise at will. And the personal space where all desires can be satisfied will eventually make many players addicted to it and unwilling to leave."
Yin Luming understood: "It's the same as the dreamer who is bound by the dream."
It's just that these players are corrupted by personal space and bound by desires.
"The value of ordinary players is not high, but ranked players are experts at breaking through levels. Nightmare Games certainly doesn't want them to become useless." Shen Loudao, "If you want to enter the ranking and upgrade the ranking after entering the ranking, you have to go to the Break the dream of ranked players. When you become a ranked player, you will face the same challenges."
He paused and said intentionally, "Your current points are definitely not the bottom of the ranking. If you want to be stable, you can choose the [-]th place. Of course, you can also choose the highest position that you can challenge with your current points..."
Yin Luming said without hesitation: "Choose the highest position."
