sunk in yesterday

During the night, Xia Zhuo's light meter turned on countless times.Falling asleep in Guan Yuzhou's arms seemed to be easy. Xia Zhuo didn't check the points he had so far until he woke up the next day.

"Wow."

He couldn't help but sigh, sincerely.

"How much?" Guan Yuzhou asked.

"It's 30 now, and it should only be 10 minutes before going to bed last night."

I got 20 points alive, which is comparable to the basic points of two and a half dreams.In other words, that "monster" tried to murder Yu Ziang ten times in the middle of the night.

ten times!What an indomitable spirit!Haven't met yet, Xia Zhuo said that he has already paid great respect to it.

The door was knocked, and Chu Jin's hoarse but excited voice came through the door.

"Hello——Xia Mingming? Are you up yet?"

Guan Yuzhou unlocked the door, and Chu Jin pulled Yu Ziang in and rushed in: "Do you know that the jar looks like it has a soul last night? Roll around, I haven't slept for 48 hours in a row!"

Xia Zhuo walked over slowly: "Aren't you in good spirits?"

"Huh? Am I in good spirits?...Anyway, shall we go down for dinner together?"

"You came here just to call us for dinner?"

"Isn't this a sign of your safety!"

Not sleeping here will not cause harm to the essence of the human body, but it will persecute the human mind a little bit.A poster once tried to stay awake in a dream for five consecutive days, and found that although he would not become manic, he would have hallucinations in front of his eyes.

Someone asked the poster, what does hallucination mean?

The poster's reply was only a short sentence: I killed the monster that looked at me motionlessly in front of me with a knife, and it made my companion's voice when it screamed.

This person didn't make it very clear, but everyone can understand the deep meaning.Participants must take regular breaks in the dream state, which is a truth that everyone knows.

The four went to have breakfast together, Yu Ziang thanked the two of them, and took Chu Jin back to catch up on sleep.

There are all vases beside the stairs, Xia Zhuo didn't dare to lean on the handrail, and stood below and asked Guan Yuzhou: "Will there be no accidents on their side during the day?"

"Well, 'it' will only be active at night, and there should be no accidents during the day."

"Why is it only active at night... It's strange, is it as sensitive to light as a vampire?"

"Guess it?"

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhuo understood: "You know again, so you came here to embarrass me, right?"

Guan Yuzhou smiled faintly: "Is this embarrassing?"

Xia Zhuo felt that this man's smiling appearance really deserved a beating.He snorted unwillingly: "Then I will reluctantly tell you the standard answer."

Guan Yuzhou frowned slightly: "All ears."

Xia Zhuo has always regarded the monsters entering the rooms at night as unrelated people in this dream.

What is an irrelevant person?It's like those flash ghosts in the game that are sent to exaggerate the horror atmosphere and make the players in front of the computer caught off guard. In fact, they often only appear once at a certain stage, and have nothing to do with the general plot.But once this monster is connected with the plot, in fact, it may be hooked up with his "good girlfriend".

"Boyle mentioned before that Shelley doesn't want my 'good friend' to see her now. Is it because she is ugly that she doesn't want me to see her?"

Guan Yuzhou hummed: "It should be."

"Then why on earth is she ugly? Boyle can't love her, so she's disfigured?"

"The reason for becoming ugly is not necessarily disfigurement." Guan Yuzhou corrected him, "You still can't connect the clues together."

Xia Zhuo frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the second half of his sentence, and seemed to be reflecting on the meaning of his words, "Since the bride can have a participant and an aboriginal, will other identities also be able to match the original?" Residents coexist?"

"It's not impossible, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the probability is not high, almost zero."

"Why? What if the thing was lingering in the vase?"

"You think it's too complicated, and its identity is actually not so difficult to guess." Guan Yuzhou shook his head, and then asked him: "When will people be in a hurry to find a substitute? Luan Yingxue's note has already written It's clear—the bride and her candidate will only survive one."

His reminder ends here, and he hopes Xia Zhuo can figure out the rest.

When does a person need a substitute?They just encountered this problem in the last dream - when they are about to die, people will be eager to find someone to take their lives.

This is like the reason that those who transfer bad luck to paper money or treasures, and then throw them in front of strangers, waiting for others to pick up the bad luck things, can resolve the disaster from themselves.

"She knew she was dying, that's why she left such a note for help."

Xia Zhuo thought about the vase full of blood a few times, and thought of the traces that seemed to be dragged and crawled, including the pool of blood that appeared in room 304, which was enough to cause an adult to die of excessive blood loss.

"So that monster running around in the night is actually Shelley?"

Guan Yuzhou nodded slightly.

Xia Zhuo understood: "The hands and feet in those vessels were indeed cut off from her. She was injured and could not travel, and had to rely on Boyle to continue her life... We guessed before that Shelley was forced to have a relationship with Boyle. Marriage? She probably just wanted to coax Boyer to take care of her funeral. She didn't mean it sincerely. After agreeing, she has been looking for a suitable opportunity to escape. Didn't you say you don't know the reason why the richest man was killed? Isn't it just Because Shelley still wanted to live together with him? But Boyle killed someone for her, and he was desperate, so he simply cut off her limbs and locked her up until the day when the wedding actually took place..."

"Hmm." Guan Yuzhou reached out and unfolded the piece of paper with the distress signal written on it.

Xia Zhuo walked upstairs with him with a headache, "I want to save him, but how can I save him?"

Guan Yuzhou didn't answer for a while, and didn't speak again until he went back to the room and sat down: "We don't have enough clues in our hands. If they don't fall into the hands of others, they are still on the fourth floor."

Xia Zhuo was puzzled: "Why can't all the participants sit down calmly and have a meeting? Isn't it more powerful than a group of people? Thinking with a group of people is much better than thinking separately with two or three people?"

"It's useless."

Guan Yuzhou shook his head, "Between life and death, pros and cons, the trust between people has long been polished away. We all meet by chance and don't know the depth, who knows what kind of thoughts the people around us have? Framed or exploited It's a very sharp blade. You know... this is just a personal battle game with huge rewards in the end, and everyone who comes in has already put all their eggs in one basket, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."

Xia Zhuo stared at him for a while.

When Guan Yuzhou spoke, he never took his eyes off him, his brows were flat and his tone was light, as if he had seen through the cruelty of the world.

This appearance made Xia Zhuo inexplicably feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help asking: "Including you?"

Will he do whatever it takes to achieve his goals?

Guan Yuzhou's lips were tightly drawn into a line, and the corners of his mouth were sunken, and he answered decisively without hesitation: "Yes, I am also one of them."

Xia Zhuo was not surprised by his answer.

Guan Yuzhou felt very gentle to him, but he realized that this kind of gentleness did not come from the other party's character.He was sure in his heart that Guan Yuzhou was not as harmless as he seemed on the surface, but he never felt the danger subconsciously.

Xia Zhuo thought, maybe this is a fledgling plot. After he came here, the No. 1 person he met, who protected him, and was kind to him was Guan Yuzhou, so he couldn't have any resistance to the other party. Just trust it completely.

Even if Guan Yuzhou didn't tell him to believe it, he would believe it.

"That includes me too?"

Guan Yuzhou still looked at him intently, his lips slightly loosened, "As long as you need, then I will be your means."

Xia Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, but soon after realizing it, he laughed out loud: "Student Guan, are you practicing love words with me?"

"No."

Xia Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"I mean seriously, I—"

"But you teased me, which makes me want to kiss you so much now." Xia Zhuo didn't wait for Guan Yuzhou to refute, he sealed Guan Yuzhou's unfinished words, as if forcefully labeling that line as a love story.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became a little ambiguous.

The two looked at each other, one with no expression, and the other with a wanton smile.

"But unfortunately, I can't do this right now." Xia Zhuo shrugged, regardless of whether Guan Yuzhou was willing to accept his teasing, the light outside the window made his eyes brighter than usual, " So, can you kiss me while I'm asleep?"

Guan Yuzhou suddenly felt his throat dry.

The young man in front of him was tempting him, and he just threw out the bait hook for teasing on a whim, not knowing how bad his behavior was.

He has known for a long time that even if this person loses his memory, the nature engraved in his soul is still difficult to replace.

However, he simply refuses to be incompetent.

He could never refuse Xia Zhuo.

Whether it is a request or a request.

He wanted to answer, wanted to say hello.But Xia Zhuo shook his legs again, and said first: "I'm just kidding, look at your face."

Guan Yuzhou: "..."

Yes, Xia Zhuo is always joking.

He lowered his eyes and parted his lips slightly.As if he didn't know how to answer the question for a while, he just changed the subject back: "In short, I won't harm you. Don't trust anyone here...except me."

When Guan Yuzhou said this last time, Xia Zhuo smiled disapprovingly, but now he laughed habitually again, not knowing what was in his heart.

There are two kinds of thinking seeds that are most likely to take root in the world, one is the liking of lonely people, and the other is the suspicion of restless people.Instead of letting others draw their knives secretly, it is better to let yourself dig a hole first. This is the current normal state of maintenance among dream participants.

"I know, I believe you."

Guan Yuzhou's complexion did not improve because of his words, and he was still tense.

"I didn't understand why I believed you so much." Xia Zhuo supported the mattress and asked him with slightly curved eyes: "Do you know the reason?"

Guan Yuzhou's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't answer for a long time.

"Then what about you? While telling me that you can't believe it, but at the same time obeying my words unconditionally." Xia Zhuo didn't want to let him go here, and then said: "I have been asked to listen to the movement outside the door many times, but there has never been one. But if I tell a lie, you may die... You should know this better than me. So, why do you believe me so much?"

Guan Yuzhou turned his face to the side and sighed softly.He said: "There is no reason for some things. If a person wants to lie and cover up something, then others can't do anything about it. What's more...it's not a matter of murder and arson for me to you, or you to me , how can there be so many clues to make people ask why."

"I don't understand your words." Xia Zhuo shook his head, "You and I are not talking about the same thing——"

"It's the same thing." Guan Yuzhou interrupted him, "You just need to know that I trust you unconditionally, and that's enough for you to do the same to me."

Xia Zhuo pursed her lips, watched Guan Yuzhou raise his head again, and looked at him squarely.

He really likes this person's skin, and he has had an idea since the first time he saw it.And those eyes, which were as dark as the bottomless deep sea, were looking at him intently, which made his heart feel hot, and he became a little more nervous for no reason.

After a while, he blinked, trying to shake off the strange feeling caused by looking at each other, "So, I am special to you?"

"If I say no, I'm afraid I won't even believe it myself."

"How special?" Xia Zhuo's heart beat faster, and his eyes quickly skipped the ring mark on his empty ring finger, and asked, "More special than the owner of the other half of your ring?"

Guan Yuzhou was stunned for a rare moment, with disbelief flashing across his eyes, as well as the pain like a scar being uncovered, like the lightning that split the sky in the dark night, it was fleeting, but it was unforgettable.

Xia Zhuo was also a little annoyed, he shouldn't ask this kind of question, it's meaningless.It's like drinking to the head, talking without thinking, and now calm and sober, but I can't take back the words.

He quickly moved out of the previous routine: "I'm just kidding—"

"You have to know, there's no comparison." This was the second time Guan Yuzhou rushed to speak today, interrupting his word "joke" again.

"Xia Zhuo," he called his name, pointed to his heart, and finished the rest of the sentence: "You can have doubts, but I still have to say. There is no comparison, you...you are just as special."
