Chapter 1 Dream World(1/3)

"Li Yang, do you know what execution is?"

"Aren't you very smart during the interview? Why is it so difficult to do something now?"

"If you don't change this form tonight, don't think about going home!"

Li Yang was wearing a slightly messy suit and sat at his desk with expressionless face.

There were still a pile of scattered paper on the table, with dense data and charts on it.

Li Yang took a deep breath, drank a cup of coffee that had been cold on the table, and forced himself to cheer up and operated the computer in front of him.

At this time, the office was already pitch black, and only a small group of light in the corner was flashing constantly.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, after finally getting the boss's approval, Li Yang dragged his tired body and left the office building.

I looked up at the sky, and the dim starry sky could not even be found.

Riding on an electric car that was about to run out of power, Li Yang returned home staggeringly.

"Recently, the number of suicides in our city has increased. Experts analyzed that the current employment pressure and the increase in life pressure..."

When he opened the door, the TV in the living room was still playing evening news, and Li Yang's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, his father was still sitting on the sofa. His father crossed his hands in front of his chest, watching the TV with a serious face.

"Dad, I'm back..."

The father, who was sitting on the sofa, turned his head slightly and looked at Li Yang: "Why are you back so late? Have you worked overtime?"

"Well, something hasn't been done, I've worked overtime..."

"I worked over a while? It's past ten o'clock! I told you not to quit, not to quit, but to join a company, wouldn't it be better to stay in the company? Now I'm home at around nine o'clock every day! I only get so much money in a month! You've been working for three years!" My father's tone was full of sternness, and he said word by word: "You can't find a girlfriend now! Look at you, you're still living with your parents at such an old age! Do you have any prospects!"

Li Yang lowered his head, silently put down his bag, took off his suit, and went into the bathroom to wash.

"What are you doing? I haven't finished talking yet! My ability has not increased, but my temper has grown day by day! I'm against you!" The angry father stood up suddenly and pointed at Li Yang and shouted.

"You don't scold him like this every day when your son is so old..." The mother said with a frown in her pajamas, wearing her pajamas, opening the bedroom door.

"Can you do not scold him? You have been taught like this! I work hard outside every day, and you can't even teach a son!"

"What did I teach you? Forget it if you haven't cared about your son. Now you have the shame to put the blame on me!" The mother looked at her father in the living room and cursed without showing any weakness.

Li Yang listened to the quarrel in the room, and turned around and left the door without expression.

Tonight, let me purify it tonight.

Li Yang arrived at the barbecue stall downstairs, and was silently eating barbecue and drinking wine.

Yes, after three years of graduation, why did you become like this?

When he first graduated, he was very proud. Although he graduated from an unknown university, he still felt that he could make a fortune. However, his irritable and arbitrary father directly stuffed him into a public institution through his friends. He was young and ignorant and felt that his work was boring, and he was like a frog in warm water, slowly suffering.

So he resolutely resigned and came to a company, determined to hone his skills and abilities.

Then he understood what a detour was.

I have been in the company for a few months, but I haven't learned any skills, and I have learned a lot when I take advantage of the situation. I am angry every day, do some miscellaneous work, and basically have no rest. Even if I do well, the company's leaders may not be very good. I originally wanted to learn the skills and go out to work with my friends, but after understanding the market, I found that there is no one, no money, and it's just a dead end. At this moment, he missed his "iron rice bowl" very much.

But what's the use of regret?

Li Yang poured a bottle of beer hard, picked up the skewers in his hand and took a bite. The picture in front of him began to blur.

At least, tonight, let me have a good sleep.

Li Yang was confused and seemed to see a hotel next to him. He stumbled into it, drove a room, fell down and lay on the bed of the hotel. He didn't take off his clothes. He fell asleep in a short while, and he didn't even hear the constant beeping of his cell phone beside him.

The blue sky and white clouds are so beautiful... But how could they be so close to me? Li Yang opened his eyes wide and looked at everything around him. Between the clouds and mist, is the baby with white wings an angel? Li Yang seemed to have heard the chant, and his whole body was surrounded by a sense of holiness.

Suddenly, the angels seemed to have discovered Li Yang's existence. They waved their wings and flew around Li Yang, and kept making "giggling" laughs from their mouths.

Am I... in a dream?

Li Yang enjoyed the feeling of floating and couldn't help but think of it.

Suddenly, a strong sense of weightlessness came, and Li Yang fell directly to the ground. As he danced, Li Yang screamed in horror.

How tall is this?

Li Yang quickly recalled high school physics in his mind. Although it was a mess, one thing was certain - he would definitely be thrown into a pool of mud!

Is this a dream? But this wind, this feeling... is so real! If I fell in the dream, I would have woken up long ago!

Wake up quickly, wake up quickly...

Li Yang kept silently reciting, his eyes afraid to glance at the ground getting closer and closer.

Just when I felt like I was about to hit the ground, Li Yang stopped. Yes, that's right, I stopped like this, without inertia, without gravity, and completely stopped without following the physical laws.

Li Yang looked at the busy streets on the ground and the towering buildings, a trace of living gratitude gradually spread in his heart.

Then his eyes turned dark and he rolled up like a roller coaster. Then he stood on the ground.

What the hell?!

Then, he found that there were a few people who were in similar states and were also in shock. They formed a circle, each facing the circle.

Then, a ray of light appeared on the ground, and then a few lines of words slowly emerged from the ground.

Dear dreamers, welcome to the Dream World, the novice level!

The mission objective of this world: Find and confirm all suspects suspected of killing Yuegui within 12 hours

Complete Reward: 100 Dream Points

Punishment of failure: no joining the dream world

Note: In a detective dream, if you are caught in a police station and do not leave within 24 hours, it is deemed to be dead

The mission will start in 10 minutes

Li Yang slowly looked at the words on the ground. He knew each word, and it made him a little blurred. After reading it again, the words on the ground slowly disappeared, replaced by the countdown number, "10:00, 9:59..."

While counting down, the group of people standing also began to react slowly.

"What is this? Am I in my dream?" A girl who looked like a high school student looked at the people around her in panic and murmured to herself.

"I think we should be in a dream." said a man next to Li Yang, who was wearing a suit, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looking over forty-something.

"How did you make sure?" Li Yang gradually recovered from the shock and asked strangely.

"You have seen Dream Inception," the man raised his head, looked at the people around him, and said: "When the girl in the movie first entered a dream, the hero asked her a question when she believed she was in a dream..."

"How did you come here!" Li Yang's heart tightened and he said.

The man glanced at it, nodded and said, "Yes, dreams always happen in the middle. You can never remember the beginning of a dream. If someone questioned it now, think about how you came here?"

The people around him suddenly had a contemplative expression, and a woman opposite Wang Jian showed disdain and said, "Why are you still so complicated? Just pinch yourself?"

"The dream is very real, and you will only feel blurred and can't remember it afterwards." The man seemed to have thought of someone asking this, "If you believe that this is not a dream, you will feel pain when you pinch yourself. It's just that you are deceiving yourself. Only by awakening your rationality can you truly understand that you are in a dream. But in the dream space, Adrian found himself in a dream, her dream collapsed and immediately woke up. We are now in a very strange state. I feel that you are not the characters I imagined in my dream. Weird words appeared on the ground again. I don't know what's going on..."

"I think I have a guess..." Li Yang said with a hint of nervousness and a hint of excitement, "Are we in infinite space?"

"Infinite Space? What is that?" The man and the woman looked at Li Yang strangely with confusion.

"Is it similar to the world in killing the city or infinite horror..." a fat male high school student whispered.

"That's right! The dream world... should be the name of this world! Similar to infinite horror, you can experience one world again and again, complete tasks, and get rewards!" Li Yang felt that he was about to burn. He dreamed countless times that could escape from that boring life, but he didn't expect it to come true?

"I think it shouldn't be that simple..." The man seemed to understand what Li Yang said, and sneered, "But don't waste time now. Although I don't know what will happen after the countdown, I think we should unite in case of facing something bad. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Wang Jian."

"My name is Li Yang, I am an office worker." Li Yang then raised his hand and said.

"Tan Wei." The woman who refuted Wang Jian said coldly, staring at Wang Jian at the same time, as if she had a lot of thoughts about him.

"My name is Li Tang, I am a senior high school student..." said the fat boy, looking a little shy.

At this time, everyone looked at the last person, which was a girl with a frightened expression on her face. When she noticed that others were looking at her, she hurriedly said: "My surname is Liang...I am in the second year of Chenghai High School in S City...I...I..."

"Okay, okay, I feel like you're about to cry." Tan Wei walked to her, patted her gently, and said, "We are all as panicked and uneasy as you, so slowly calm down..."

Li Yang turned to Wang Jian at this time. He felt that the man in front of him should be a more reliable person: "Uncle Wang..." He was in his forties, so he could call him uncle, right?

"Just call me Wang Jian. Don't talk about etiquette or something in such an inexplicable place." Wang Jian saw Li Yang's embarrassment at a glance and said bluntly.

"Uh, okay, Wang Jian." Li Yang scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I don't know if you have read such novels before. Now we should work together..."

Wang Jian raised his hand and signaled Li Yang to stop: "I haven't seen it before. But I understand the truth, don't worry, since we are all in this strange place, we must unite and help each other."

Li Yang smiled and felt that the man in front of him had a high temperament, but he also felt that he could be approachable at any time. This made him wonder, he must be managing many people in daily life, right?

Wang Jian turned around and wanted to walk out, but found an invisible barrier blocking his face, like hard glass.

"It's useless." Tan Wei on the other side walked over, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said, "I just tried it, we were trapped in a circle of unknown things."

Li Yang looked at this woman who felt a little arrogant and swallowed.

Tan Wei is estimated to be 1.7 meters tall, and with a pair of high heels on her feet, she can be called tall. At the same time, the delicate but not strong makeup on her face, delicate short hair, and a simple and jeans that highlight her figure make her very attractive. To be honest, Li Yang has lived for more than 20 years, and except for TV, she has not seen such a stunning woman.

"I think it should have something to do with the countdown over there..." Wang Jian looked at the number that was still counting down on the ground, and it has only been three minutes now.

"If it is an infinite world, it will be explained." Li Yang expressed his opinion. "In the infinite world, each world sets tasks for participants, just like a game. Before the game starts, there is usually a loading process, or preparation time. Now that the countdown is not over, the game has not begun. Look, the people and items around us are in a state of static. After the countdown is over, we should be able to enter this world and complete our tasks."

Wang Jian nodded: "You are right. But the statement of this game really makes people feel uncomfortable. Even if we are in a dream, we are forced into this world and perform some weird tasks, which is actually the same thing as a game. It is really unpleasant."

Li Yang did not feel anything unpleasant at all. Such a bizarre thing was really novel and fun for him. He recalled the mission goal on the ground with great enthusiasm, and suddenly felt it was very strange.
To be continued...
