Qing Yan put the bed sheet back on the man.

The man's pupils were out of focus, and he could only murmur, "I'm sorry...kill me..."

Han Che frowned and asked, "Did you get anything out of his mouth?"

"No." Qing Yan spread his hands, "I read his memory directly, and the information is very fragmentary... To be honest, this person is basically crazy. His wounds have never healed, and I hang him, Let him not die from blood loss. But the pain will not be relieved. And not only because he was skinned, but also because his wife and daughter were involved because of him."

Yin Luming frowned: "Where's his family?"

"They're all dead." Qing Yan sighed, "Dead in the true sense."

Shen Loudao: "This happens to be my question—why does the death in this dream affect the real world?"

Qing Yan frowned: "This is also the place I'm researching now. It is preliminarily speculated that someone did something in the real world of Treadmao Paradise, and it is connected with the dream."

Yin Luming glanced at the man.

His eyes were absent-minded, the corners of his eyes kept twitching because of the pain, and the saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, still as if unknown, and he could only repeat those two sentences over and over in his mouth.

Losing his family because of him, this man who can dissect live cats is bitten by pain and regret.

Yin Luming turned around in this room, and saw a blood-stained suit hanging in the corner, with a business card in the jacket pocket.

I took it out and saw that it was the business card of the owner of the cat park, with the head of the man in a suit and leather shoes printed on it, with the name "Qin Fenjin" hanging next to it, and a line of small characters below:

——Come to Step on Cat Paradise to release all your pressure.

Yin Luming put the business card back, turned his eyes away, and asked Qing Yan: "What are you going to do?"

Qing Yan tugged at the shofar braids again, and wrinkled his face in confusion: "Actually, I'm not very good at using my brain to break through levels... Shen Lou chose me at the beginning because I was more reliable and I was a technician."

Yin Luming glanced at Qing Yan in surprise: "Shen Lou chose you?"

Qing Yan said unexpectedly: "What, you don't know?"

"I heard that you were chosen by zero."

"Who said that?"

Yin Luming stopped talking.

Qing Yan already guessed: "Shen Anchor? When you reincarnated into the real world, Shen Lou recreated a new system in order not to revert back to the system, and then handed over part of the system permissions to me, allowing me to continue to maintain and Perfect the system of Nightmare game."

Yin Luming understood - no wonder, as the leader of the Observer Association, Qing Yan has been in this dream for so long and still hasn't solved it.

He said: "I'll break through."

Qing Yan immediately said: "Then leave it to you."

Han Che said, "I'm with you..."

"You stay." Qing Yan interrupted him, "Cheng Ming went to investigate the wishing talisman, I need an assistant to analyze dreams."

Han Che frowned coldly: "I don't understand."

"Just follow my command." Qing Yan said, "After finishing this wave, I will directly give your little boyfriend a ranking."

Han Che immediately changed his words: "No problem."

Qing Yan instructed Yin Luming again: "Go out through the door on the right, there are fewer mice there... By the way, it's troublesome for you to walk like this."

She pointed at the lollipop in her hand, and a pair of shoes appeared in front of Yin Luming.

Qing Yan ignored Shen Lou's dissatisfied gaze, and said with a smile: "These shoes don't get muddy."

……

Yin Luming stood beside the underground river, groaning silently.

It was early morning, and there was a faint light shining in from above.

Through the small gaps, the fence above and the staff wearing cat paw prints can be vaguely seen.

The light shone on the dim underground river, and the dust flew into the Tyndall effect, blocking Yin Luming.

Yin Luming lightly tapped the wall with his finger.

There are traces of paint left on the walls.It's just that the trace is also dark gray.

Shen Lou blocked the light for a while: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering whose dream is the underground world." Yin Luming looked at the dirt on his fingertips, pondered for a moment and said, "Basically, you can only see three colors of black, white and gray in the underground, and occasionally some blue-green."

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows, and instantly understood Yin Luming's meaning: "The world from a cat's perspective."

The cat's retina has a different perception of color than humans, and basically cannot perceive other colors except blue and green.

"I thought it was because of the night, but it's still the same when it's daytime." Yin Luming stretched his fingers into the light shining in from above, "Even the sunlight is light gray."

Shen Lou said: "Here I will provide you with another option."

Yin Luming looked up.

Shen Loudao: "This is the handover with the real world."

Yin Luming's eyes moved slightly: "Are you sure?"

"As I said, I will be greatly restricted in the real world." Shen Loudao, "I felt the same restriction when I first entered the ground, and the longer I stayed, the more obvious the restriction."

If it wasn't because of too much restraint of power, Yin Luming would have killed all the rats as early as when Yin Luming was harassed by the rats.

Yin Luming nodded thoughtfully: "Han Che said that he appeared directly in the basement after eleven o'clock. If the person who was involved appeared in this dream without the staff uniform, he would also appear here at eleven o'clock."

Shen Lou said: "If they were killed here, they would indeed die together in reality. But Li Meili said that those people all died on the ground floor."

"So something with the nature of the underground layer is attached to those people."

Yin Luming lowered his eyes to look at the underground river, and opened his lips——

"mouse."

"mouse."

Shen Lou said at the same time.

The two looked at each other.

"Ordinary people may find it difficult to resist such a tide of rats. It is quite normal to be bitten once or twice." Yin Luming knocked on the wall, "Even if they were not bitten, they would be dismembered and thrown into the garbage dump."

At night, a large wave of rats will attack the garbage dump, biting and eating everything in sight.

Shen Lou finally concluded: "The basement is a slaughterhouse for people involved in the real world."

Innocent people died here, and resentment made the dream further expand, drawing more people in.In the end, this dream continued to multiply like cancer cells, forming a behemoth between the real world and the nightmare game.

Even though Qing Yan said that the nightmare world would never be separated from the real world, Yin Luming still felt something was wrong.

He pointed to the skylight above: "Go back to the ground first."

……

"Oh, dear Mingming, why did you make such a stinky body!" Qin Bao yelled in a fuss, and pulled him towards the staff lounge, "Hurry up, take a shower, or we will be smelly!" What about the cute little ones!"

Yin Luming was dragged by him to the shower room.

"Do you want me to rub your back for you?" Qin Bao teased a few words, fearing that Yin Lumen would misunderstand, he hurriedly added, "I'm just joking haha!"

Who knew that Yin Luming nodded with a smile: "Then trouble Brother Baobao."

Qin Bao opened his mouth, unaware of Yin Lumeng's answer, his expression froze.

Yin Luming pulled him in, smiled and said, "Brother Baobao, won't you take off your clothes?"

Qin Bao's body stiffened for a moment: "This, you don't need to take it off, right?"

Yin Luming deliberately said: "What if the staff uniform gets wet? It will make the guests unhappy."

Qin Bao opened his mouth, his gaze fell on Yin Luming, and he straightened up suddenly: "Mingming, why don't you take it off first?"

Yin Lumeng nodded, and pulled the shower curtain to block it, and pulled it away a second later, and it had changed into a mode of only wearing a bath towel.

Qin Bao: "..."

He gave a dry laugh, "Obviously, you undress pretty quickly."

Yin Luming looked at him with a smile.

Qin Bao slowly unbuttoned the first button under Yin Luming's gaze, and then suddenly "remembered": "Ah, I forgot, the boss also told me something, why don't you wash it yourself?"

Just when he was about to turn around and go out, someone clicked the latch outside.

Qin Bao's mouth twitched.

Yin Luming took a step towards him, with a gentle smile on his face: "Hey, let me see."

Qin Bao covered his chest in horror, and said pitifully, "Obviously, don't be like this, he's still an idiot..."

"Hey!"

Yin Luming has already unbuttoned his collar.

Qin Bao's employees didn't wear other clothes under their uniforms, revealing a piece of hideous, shriveled white flesh.

Like an ugly scar that has healed after being skinned.

Qin Bao closed his neckline in a panic, and said with a dry smile, "I was injured when I was young..."

Yin Luming narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said, "Mr. Shen."

A blue halo bloomed from outside, covering Yin Luming and Qin Bao.

Yin Luming had put on his clothes again, and a mass of dark mucus was coming off his body and returning to the illustrated book.

He fiddled with those blue lights with his fingers, and said gently: "No one will know the content of our communication now."

The smile on Qin Bao's face was stiff, and his eyes rolled wildly.

Yin Luming said: "Qin Bao, what is your relationship with Qin Fenjin?"

Qin Bao moved his lips, carefully observed Yin Luming for a while, and suddenly smiled wryly: "He is my cousin."

Yin Luming slightly raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing in the cat paradise?"

"Waiter." Qin Bao had a gloomy expression on his face, "My cousin didn't think much of my poor relatives in the countryside, so he asked me to be a waiter."

Yin Luming looked at the hands behind his back, holding an opened bottle of venom in his hand, and continued to ask: "Do you know what the trampling cat park is for?"

A look of fear flashed across Qin Bao's face: "I know."

"Then are you still doing there?"

Qin Bao's face twitched a little: "I'm not working there, how can I make money? Although my cousin looks down on me, at least he has a relationship with me. The salary he pays me is not low, and the work is not too tiring. My mother is sick at home. , if it weren't for this salary, what would you give the old lady to live on?"

Yin Luming was silent.

After a while, he asked, "Do you know what's going on here?"

"The goblin's revenge." Qin Bao's face was a little numb, "Hey, it's okay... When my uncle recruited me, he forced me to skin a cat, and now it's just retaliation. Although the skinning hurts like hell, but the pain will pass.”

Yin Luming glanced at Qin Bao's scar that had not been completely covered up.

Compared with Qin Fenjin's peeling wound that could never heal, Qin Bao's wound has basically healed.

Apparently, the person who controlled the dream on the ground didn't have a strong resentment towards Qin Bao.

Qin Bao suddenly raised his head and stared at Yin Luming's chest.

A blue hand blocked his front, followed by Shen Lou's unfriendly smile: "I'll be jealous if I stare at my boyfriend like this."

Qin Bao looked at the translucent Shen Lou in surprise, and then a little flame lit up in his eyes: "Are you from outside?"

"how do you know?"

"Before there were new employees who suddenly appeared and said that they applied for the job, and they had employee suits just like you." Qin Bao gritted his teeth, "But they don't live as long as you do, and they basically die within a day or two."

Yin Luming and Shen Lou looked at each other.

Qin Bao clenched his fist and asked hopefully, "Can you rescue us?"

Yin Luming was silent for a moment, then said, "I will try my best, but I can't guarantee it."

Qin Bao wiped his face: "Even if I'm at fault, it's fine to leave me here. Can you save my mother first?"

"Your mother is now..."

"I saw her here a few days ago." Qin Bao clenched his teeth a little bit, "The old lady is so old, she can't bear this torture, so I went all out and hid her."

Yin Luming was a little surprised, staring at him: "Where is it?"

Qin Bao hesitated for a while, and then there was a hint of determination to hold on to life-saving straws. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you can promise to take my mother out, I will take you to see her."

Yin Luming glanced at him: "Are you afraid that I will lie to you?"

Qin Bao laughed numbly: "What's the use of lying to me, what's the use if I don't believe it? Anyway, they are all dead, at least it would be good to send the old lady out."

Yin Luming and Shen Lou looked at each other again: "Go and see first."

……

Qin Bao took Yin Luming to the furthest room of the suite on the second floor.

He knocked on the door three times, and then there was a soft "meow" from inside.Qin Bao pushed open the door, glanced cautiously, and beckoned Yin Luming to pass.

After Yin Luming entered the door, he saw a thin, gray-haired old lady lying on the bed and seemed to be asleep, and beside the bed lay a patterned earth cat.

Qin Bao went to the bedside and poked his head: "Is the old lady okay?"

The earth cat let out a lazily "meow".

Qin Bao stretched out his hand to touch it: "Well done, Xiao Hua."

Before the hand touched the earth cat, it was slapped off mercilessly by the earth cat.

Qin Bao smiled wryly, turned his head and said to Yin Luming: "Xiaohua is my mother's cat in her hometown. She has raised it for many years. Ever since my father passed away, she has been with my mother... My mother appeared in the cat paradise and almost missed her." Scared me of a heart attack, I thought about risking my life to protect the old lady, and took both the old lady and Xiaohua to this room to hide. I didn't expect it!"

Qin Bao's expression became brighter, "At night, the human and the cat were switched, Xiaohua yawned and let the old lady continue to lie down and sleep! It's not for nothing!"

Yin Luming said indifferently: "Very good."

"After coming, Xiaohua won't let me touch him." Qin Bao stretched out his hand and looked at himself, with a bitter smile on his face, "I can't help it, I'm also an accomplice after all."

Yin Luming pondered for a moment.

Regardless of Qin Bao's home, Qin Bao's mother can hide here safely, which shows that even foreign cats can still affect the rules of dreams within a certain range.

Yin Luming happened to have a chestnut.

He didn't intend to ask Lizi to help before, because Lizi was left to him by Chi Xi and Xie Qizhu. If he was injured in this dream, even if it could be cured, Yin Luming felt that it was inappropriate.

Looking at Qin Bao's description of Xiao Hua, it seems that Xiao Hua has been hiding in this room and has not been injured?

Yin Luming pondered for a while, then released the chestnut, and asked the chestnut to communicate with Xiaohua.

The two cats "meowed" together for a while, Li Zi walked back slowly, jumped into Yin Luming's arms, and flicked his tail.

Shen Lou's expression moved slightly, and then returned to normal: "According to what this cat said, it would feel the scene change twice a day, one time when it felt that it could command the old lady on the bed to do anything at any time; My perspective switched to the old lady."

Yin Luming frowned slightly.

Qin Bao didn't quite understand, so he could only try to touch Xiao Hua while looking at Yin Luming eagerly.

Yin Luming said: "There is a place that can lead to the real world, but it may be dangerous. I will make sure it is feasible before I come to you."

Qin Bao suddenly nodded in surprise: "No problem!"

……

After entering the shower room again, Shen Lou floated out of the illustrated book again.

This time, Yin Luming put the chestnuts on the curtain rack to ensure that he was within the sight range of the chestnuts, and at the same time, the water would not splash on the chestnuts.

He unbuttons it.

That invisible bondage came over again.

Chestnut gave a soft "meow".

The bondage suddenly loosened.

Yin Luming smiled at Lizi: "Thank you."

After speaking, he took off the staff uniform that he had worn for two or three days with confidence.

Shen Lou floated out of the illustrated book, watching Yin Luming wash the dirty clothes.

Yin Luming said without raising his head, "Speak."

Shen Lou laughed and said, "Nothing can be hidden from my boyfriend."

Yin Luming let out a "huh".

Shen Lou straightened his expression: "That cat and Lizi said an interesting thing."

"what's up?"

"Qin Bao is not Qin Bao." Shen Lou laughed playfully, "The real Qin Bao is dead. The current Qin Bao is just an unknown creature wrapped in Qin Bao's human skin."

Yin Luming paused, then raised his head.

He pinched the employee uniform on his body: "Is he pretending to be Qin Bao, or is he taking himself as Qin Bao?"

"From the feeling of that cat, it probably regards itself as Qin Bao."

Yin Luming pondered for a moment: "I probably guess who this Qin Bao is."

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows.

"The cat that was skinned by Qin Bao."

Yin Luming said, "Do you still remember the cat we asked about before we met Gu Hui?"

The cat named Fluffy told Lizi that it was a human being.

Shen Loudao: "If you put on human skin, you are a human, but if you take off the human skin, you are a cat? Then these people who have turned into cats are quite cruel to their own kind."

The cats in the night mode control humans to self-mutilate. If those cats are not animals that are tortured and resented, but people who have experienced the same experience, they can cruelly inflict pain on their own kind...

"People have always been cruel enough to their own kind." Yin Luming said plainly, "But there should be another reason in this dream."

Shen Lou floated a little closer.

Yin Luming rubbed his fingers on his employee uniform: "There is another question: If the cats in the cat paradise are skinned people, where are the real cats?"

Now the only one who is sure that it is a real cat is Xiaohua, and Xiaohua came in from the outside.

Yin Luming originally thought that the foundation of this dream was the cat's revenge on humans, but now it seems that the core of this dream is probably humans and humans, and the cat's resentment is just a tool used by Shen Mao.

The only options left are the waiters.

At night they turn into half-cat, half-human monsters, presiding over Catland, watching grimly as the torments of this den are inflicted on the humans who were once its owners and guests.

Shen Lou floated a little closer again.

While thinking, Yin Luming unscrewed the shower and tested the temperature with his fingers.

After taking off the staff uniform, Yin Luming only had a T-shirt, shorts, and socks left.Although these didn't get much dirt in the basement, they were still wet with sweat after wearing them for two days, so I just washed them together.

His eyes suddenly fell on Shen Lou, and he frowned slightly, "What are you doing?"

Shen Lou pulled up Yin Luming's T-shirt, smiled and said, "Help you take a shower."

Yin Luming slapped his hand away: "No need."

Shen Lou blinked, and said with a smile in his tone: "My dear, you asked Qin Bao to rub your back for you, and you don't want me to rub it for you?"

Yin Luming: "...don't be joking."

He just said casually, can that be the same?

"Can you bear being so dirty in the basement?"

Yin Luming really couldn't bear it, so he planned to take a bath.

Just can't wash in front of Shen Lou.

Although they have maintained a somewhat intimate and distant state since they confirmed their relationship, Yin Luming is not a fool, and he can clearly see the meaning in Shen Lou's eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Lou intentionally made a somewhat aggrieved look: "I think it's time for our relationship to take a step further."

Yin Luming sighed silently: "Don't you have no body? You also have the desire of the body?"

"Just because I don't have a body doesn't mean I can't do certain things." Shen Lou smiled and nodded his chest, "Besides, the desire for you doesn't come from the body, but from the soul."

Yin Luming stopped talking.

After a while, he said: "This is not the right place. Do you want to perform for others?"

The anchor sinker could be watching him at all times.

Shen Lou clapped his hands: "So, you agree?"

Yin Luming was speechless: "...you don't understand what I'm saying?"

"It's rare to be confused." Shen Lou approached with a smile, looked at Yin Luming's expression, and changed his words instantly, "Well, even if we don't make it to the end, we should give something sweet."

He raised his hand, and a blue light shield surrounded them.

Yin Luming looked at Shen Lou's face close at hand and the anticipation on his face, and suddenly reached out and poked Shen Lou's shoulder lightly.

What the fingertips touched was not the usual soft touch, but a hard shock that made his fingertips slightly numb.

Yin Luming raised his eyebrows: "You are nervous."

A declarative sentence is used.

Shen Lou touched his chin unconsciously: "How can you tell?"

"Your colors are much darker."

Shen Lou couldn't help laughing: "Can you save some face for your boyfriend? It's also my first time."

The corners of Yin Luming's lips curled up.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Lou's collar, pulling him closer.

Shen Lou leaned over obediently, blinked: "Want to play forced play?"

"To shut up."

Yin Luming cursed in a low voice, then moved his face closer.

Shen Lou laughed softly: "It's too late to regret now."

He wrapped Yin Luming's waist with one hand, and pressed the back of Yin Luming's head with the other, deepening the kiss.

The shower head was turned on, and the warm water poured down, bringing up clouds of water mist, blurring the figures of the two people.
