Chapter 62 Seeing through the real world in the dream
Xiaomai woke up leisurely and yawned. He slept so soundly, but he couldn't help but tremble when he saw the scene around him.
Didn't I just fight a bone dragon in the forbidden area of the Bone Burial Ground? In the end, I picked the soul-nurturing grass. Why am I in the school dormitory now? Could it be that everything that happened before was just a dream.
But didn’t I play games with Dayi at Chaoshen Internet Cafe and got struck by lightning in the end? How could this happen? I became confused.
Xiaomai couldn't help but slap himself twice. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt. Maybe he was really dreaming, but the dream was too long and too real. He probably played too many games.
Xiaomai picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed Dayi's number: "Hey, Dayi, why am I in the dormitory? I wasn't surfing the Internet with you at Chaoshen Internet Cafe last night, and then I was struck by lightning. What happened after that?
I don’t know anymore.”
"Haha, Xiaomai, you finally woke up. I didn't expect you to be so afraid of thunder. The thunder didn't hit you last night. It just hit the street lamp next to the Internet cafe. It scared you and fainted. I even called 120
I was afraid that something would happen to you, but after the doctor finally checked that there was nothing wrong with your health, I sent you back to the dormitory."
"But at that time, I felt that the lightning struck me directly. My body went numb and I didn't know anything."
"You're overthinking. It's really not true. If you were struck by lightning, you would sleep well in the dormitory. If you were struck by lightning, you would be in the hospital. If you don't go out to eat, you won't be able to eat the supper promised to you last night."
When Dayi asked for a meal, Xiaomai immediately agreed, and his stomach also made a growling sound.
"Okay, I'll see you later." Maima agreed.
Although the thoughts in my head are a bit confusing, if I really just did it, this might not be the best result. After all, I don't have to be alone in a different world. I still have my parents and friends in the real world.
Xiaomai freshened up and put on a white sportswear, and went to the Manji food stall near the school entrance.
The boss here, Lao Zhang, is a very nice person. All the dormitory gatherings were held at Lao Zhang’s place during the four years of college. Lao Zhang’s food is very good and the price is cheap, so there are many repeat customers.
"Lao Zhang, you two." Xiaomai greeted Lao Zhang familiarly.
"Okay, Mai, I'm about to graduate. Have you found an internship unit?" Lao Zhang asked.
"Still looking, Lao Zhang, seeing how many customers you have here, why don't you hire someone? How about I help you, and my salary can be anywhere from three to five thousand," Xiaomai said with a smile.
"Don't, don't, don't, you are not overqualified for me here. I won't brag with you. I'll be busy first. Call me after you think of something to eat." After saying this, Lao Zhang walked into the kitchen and got busy.
Wheat took care of himself and took a bottle of Sprite from the refrigerator to drink, and sat alone in his seat waiting for Dayi's arrival.
But when Xiaomai calmed down, he remembered the tavern near Qingfeng College in his dream. The owner was also called Lao Zhang. This scene was so real.
Just when Xiaomai was thinking about it, a big hand patted Xiaomai's shoulder and said, "What are you doing?"
Xiaomai was also startled by Dayi's sudden slap, and quickly responded: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something, and I haven't ordered the dishes yet. Go and order them, so as not to say I'm going to kill you again."
"Okay, I'm going to order food first. Would you like some beer?"
"Whatever you want, I'll accompany you if you want to drink."
After a while, Lao Zhang quickly served all the food and wine, and the two of them chatted while eating.
"Da Yi, I had a very long dream last night. I dreamed that I was transported into a game. I spent a full ten years in the dream. It was so real." Xiaomai said while eating.
"Wheat, are you okay? The lightning didn't hit you last night, so your brain probably wasn't damaged." Dayi said with a smile.
"I'm really telling you this. I traveled through time in a game similar to Zhengtu. Some are similar, some are different. You also traveled through time as well." Xiaomai said seriously.
"I have also traveled through time. What kind of mission did I do? Isn't it awesome?" Dayi asked in return.
"I traveled through time and became a vegetable. At that time, I was trying to think of a way to save you. I went to the restricted area of the Bone Burial Ground to pick soul-nourishing grass, and then I woke up."
Dayi almost spit out the food in his mouth and laughed loudly and said: "I traveled through time and became a vegetable, you can make fun of me."
"I can't tell you anyway, so I won't say it anymore." After saying that, he buried his head in eating.
After drinking and eating, the two of them had nothing to do, so Dayi suggested going online, so the two of them took a walk directly to the Chaoshen Internet Cafe to surf the Internet.
There was no one who was surfing the Internet tonight. The two of them were sitting on the computer where they were surfing the Internet last night, and Xiaomai was still sitting by the window.
Turn on the computer, enter the account and password, log in to the game character, and Xiaomai skillfully operates the game character to complete the task to be done today.
But Xiaomai was not focused on the game at all. Looking at the scenery outside the window and the scene where he was struck by lightning yesterday, he always felt that something was wrong.
No, no, there was thunder yesterday, and the bolt of lightning really struck me. But Dayi said it struck the road next to me.
There is indeed a street light not far from the window, but the street light was also broken and there was no time to repair it.
But wherever Wheat parked his motorcycle last night, there were no street lights at all.
Because Mai always parked his motorcycle in that spot, he knew very well where there were no street lights at all. What was happening with the sudden extra street lights.
At this time, Dayi noticed that Xiaomai was absent-minded and said, "What are you thinking about? Is your brain really broken?"
"You just lost your mind. Did the lightning strike on that street lamp last night?" Maima asked. "Yes, you see it was struck like this by lightning, why didn't you go to repair it?"
"You play first, I'll go to the bathroom." After saying that, Xiaomai left the computer and went to the bathroom.
Xiaomai turned on the faucet and washed some noodles and thought about it carefully. In the past, when this super Internet cafe was even slightly closer, the leakage switch would trip during thunderstorms. This time, it was so close that even the computers in the Internet cafe were not burned out.
There is also no street light outside the Internet cafe. What is going on with this street light that appears out of thin air?
The dream I traveled through last night was so real. After I picked the soul-nourishing grass, I had no time to rush out of the restricted area of the Boneyard and was surrounded by thick fog. I finally passed out and returned to the real world when I woke up.
Now I can't tell whether I'm in the real world or in my dream.
"No, I'm probably trapped in the restricted area of the Boneyard right now. Everything that's happening now is probably just a dream. Da Yi is lying." Xiaomai firmly thought in his heart.
After walking out of the Internet cafe toilet, Xiaomai came up behind Dayi and loudly asked who it was.
"Wheat, are you okay? I'm Dayi, why are you smoking so crazy?" Dayi said doubtfully.
"You are not Dayi. Who are you? The streetlight you said was struck by lightning last night does not exist." Xiaomai shouted loudly. At this time, everyone else in the Internet cafe looked over.
"Are there no street lights outside?" Dayi murmured to himself. Then he showed a strange smile.
Mai asked again: "Who are you?"
I saw Da Yi smiling strangely and saying: "I am your classmate Da Yi. Oh no, who am I? Even I have forgotten. You can call me "Dream Demon"."
Then the surrounding environment changed drastically, revealing the real environment in the restricted area of the Boneyard.
