Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 169 Tracking
This handsome little fat boy is Lu Nanxing.

He lost contact with his leader Shi Zichen yesterday.

According to the agreement, they must contact each other every two hours and send some trash messages to ensure each other's safety.

The trashier the trash talk, the better the condition.

At first, the fat boy Lu Nanxing found it difficult to accept trash talking to his leader, and he felt embarrassed. But over time, he became addicted.

After all, you can say to your boss, "Did you eat it, you idiot?" "Which idiot made this decision? It can't be you, right?"

It’s so fucking enjoyable!
So much so that his enthusiasm for trash talking has increased a lot!
Lu Nanxing talked trash, so Shi Zichen naturally talked trash as well.

Of course, Shi Zichen was not to be outdone, and his trash talk in return was equally sharp:
"My stupid subordinates, come to the meeting..."

"Pigs are not as lazy as you..."

As for why they contacted each other in this way, Shi Zichen simply said that if the contact was serious, it would mean that the other party was under control.

Sometimes in dreams, I am distorted by the dreams without even realizing it.

The worst case scenario is that the windbreaker man Shi Zichen is missing.

Before losing contact, Shi Zichen only told him that he met Shi Fei while eating in a noodle restaurant. Shi Fei said that he had diabetes, and he suspected that there was something wrong with Shi Fei's identity.

The hospital was so noisy, would Shi Fei be able to hear him even if he spoke in a low voice?
What a joke!
So he was suspicious of Shi Fei. Unfortunately, he had something on his mind, and when Shi Fei came up to talk to him, he was too alert. When he reacted and wanted to make good friends, Shi Fei noticed.

All this was caused by the sudden diagnosis of diabetes, which made him panic.

Shi Fei's appearance and information were given to Lu Nanxing by Shi Zichen.

Maybe Shi Fei is also a clue to understanding the Dream City.

The last message and photo Shi Zichen sent to Lu Nanxing was of a six-story building and Shi Fei standing at the door of the building!

Everything, all the key clues point to Shi Fei and the mysterious six-story building.

That mysterious six-story building was most likely where Shi Zichen disappeared. He only looked at it from a distance but did not dare to approach.

In order to find out Shi Fei's background, Lu Nan used all the resources he could mobilize. He investigated Shi Fei's company and its business, and even spent a whole day secretly observing Shi Fei.

However, he found that Shi Fei seemed to be just an ordinary "dream man".

Anyone who has ever had a dream knows that strange people will appear in the dream, and faces will also appear for a moment. After the dream ends, are those people still there? Have those people never appeared before?
No one can tell.

The City of Dreams is a dream itself.

In this city, there are both "outsiders" like Lu Nanxing who entered the dream from the real world, and "locals" who were born and raised in the dream.

It is these "locals" who make up the flesh and blood of the Dream City, making it seem more real.

The "locals" are also called "dream people" by outsiders like Lu Nanxing.

Shi Fei is like this, just like an NPC in the game.

He seemed to appear out of nowhere in a small company, working hard and going to work and leaving get off work on schedule every day.

His past, experiences, and emotions all seem vague.

Because for the entire Dream City, these are not important!
What’s important is that the City of Dreams needs such a person to exist.

Shi Zichen's disappearance put Lu Nanxing in a dangerous situation.

As a partner, Shi Zichen's disappearance may mean that some kind of threat is approaching, and may even affect Lu Nanxing himself. From a safety perspective, Lu Nanxing should immediately exit the dream and escape from this place of trouble.

but……

However, the colleague who entered the dream with him disappeared. If he does nothing and just escapes in disgrace, will his conscience let him go for the rest of his life?

After much deliberation, Lu Nanxing finally decided to take the risk and contact Shi Fei.

If they do nothing, take no risks, and retreat when faced with danger, then when will they be able to crack the secret of the Dream City?

From the moment they stepped into the Dream City, they were already in the adventure!
Shi Fei is just an ordinary "dream man". Based on past experience, there should be no problem in contacting him.

At least, that's what Lu Nanxing thought.

"Yesterday?" Shi Fei thought for a moment and said, "Didn't I see it yesterday?"

"When was the last time you saw him?" Lu Nanxing asked politely.

"Hmm?" Shi Fei felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, and asked back: "Are you a policeman? You need to report a missing person!"

Lu Nanxing sighed inwardly and said, "He is my colleague, so he can also be considered a family member!"

How could he and Shi Zichen not have a good relationship if they could come together as partners to the Dream City? Besides, Shi Zichen always took on the heaviest and most dangerous work and took good care of him.

"The last time was at the noodle shop the day before yesterday at noon." Shi Fei said with a softened heart when he saw Lu Nanxing's expression.

He thought Lu Nanxing was a relative of Shi Zichen.

Maybe it was just a casual remark to him, but to Lu Nanxing it might be a clue to finding his relatives.

Lu Nanxing suddenly spoke up and said sincerely: "My name is Lu Nanxing. Can you please let me in and tell me what you know about him?"

"Uh..." Shi Fei hesitated, but finally nodded and said, "Then come in!"

After entering the house, Lu Nanxing quickly looked around and found that it was an ordinary house with simple furnishings and nothing special about it.

He took a deep breath and said, "In return, I will tell you a truth about the world."

"The truth of the world?" Shi Fei felt puzzled. What truth could there be in the world?
"Yes! Please tell me what you know about him!" Lu Nanxing still said politely.

Hearing Lu Nanxing being so polite, Shi Fei started to talk a lot, such as he had seen the man in the windbreaker in the morning, and he had met him by chance in the hospital.

"If it weren't for the windbreaker he was wearing, I wouldn't have noticed him." Shi Fei shrugged and said, "It's really strange to wear such a thick windbreaker in this weather."

In Shi Fei's eyes, wearing a windbreaker in August was really strange.

"So..." Lu Nanxing asked seriously, "What month do you think it is now?"

"August!" Shi Fei said as a matter of course: "August 20th."

"What about last month?" Lu Nanxing asked again.

Shi Fei found it a little funny: "Of course it's July."

"In your memory, is August particularly long, or..." Lu Nanxing stared at Shi Fei and said, "It's always August!"

"You must be joking..." Shi Fei couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't your question too outrageous?"

What an endless August!
