nightmare exec

In a seaside lighthouse of eternal night, the topic of ayahuasca is still going on.

"Well, little butterfly...have you used up the ayahuasca I gave you?" Alexander threw a straight ball abruptly: "How is it? What's your gain?"

"Uh..." Song Yin knew that a temporary lie could easily be exposed, so he nodded frankly: "It was used, and I saw some past events. But in the end, I found another locked door, and it was also locked by the second door." The dog was caught and trained."

"There is still a door?!" Alexander conveyed his shock with an exaggerated expression, "Then how about I give you another tube of water, and you can use it with Team Fen."

"With Foehn?" Song Yin thought to himself that this thing is not an adult toy, how could he bring Qi Zhengnan to play together.

Alexander suddenly showed an expression of "you don't know that".

"Ayahuasca can of course be used by multiple people! The so-called 'opening the door', to put it bluntly, is to quietly bypass the Aksha system and forcibly open an illegal dungeon in your safe house. People who enter this dungeon are equivalent to smuggling It can be an intruder or an observer and a rescuer. It’s very different from listening to someone else’s oral recollection of the past!"

Although he doesn't fully understand Alexander's theory, Song Yin already has a good understanding of the difference between "personal experience" and "listening to memories".

Before that, Qi Zhengnan took him into the locked room, led him to experience countless absurd worlds, and finally came to his parents' old safe house.Although the scene after scene is extremely real and shocking, the most critical cause and effect still needs to be told by Qi Zhengnan himself.

However, after that, Song Yin used ayahuasca to open the door of her safe house, but she saw her "live" parents behind the door, and heard them say those precious messages in person.

In the simplest terms, ayahuasca can allow the experiencer to enter the dusty memory and re-experience the true feelings at that moment as vividly as in a dream.

I have to say, this is indeed a very big temptation.

Song Yin had to admit that she had at least that momentary heartbeat.However, in the next second, Alexander's words woke him up again.

"But you also have to be careful. Just like the executive who fails to evacuate the nightmare dungeon in time will be swallowed by the dream master, if Foehn doesn't leave your dream before the effect of ayahuasca ends, the consequences may also be very serious .”

"I think it's better to forget it." Song Yin shook his head resolutely, "I can't let Ergou worry about it for me anymore. And the origin of this thing is too strange, like ivory shark's fin, I don't want to I like it so much."

"Oh, how can you make such a comparison?! Of course it's different from ivory shark's fin."

Alexander covered his heart with one hand and made signs of injury: "Ivory shark fins are a business that kills animals and harms nature! Ayahuasca is different. In order to extract ayahuasca, it is indeed necessary to allow stowaways to infect humans. But that does not mean that people must be infected. Death! Burning forests and fields, and draining rivers to catch fish are the principles that everyone understands. Besides, human life is much more valuable than those gold that have lost birds and fish. It has already been encircled and suppressed countless times..."

"Isn't that similar to taking bear bile? That's cruel too!" Song Yin still couldn't accept it, "The value obtained by torturing creatures is all stained with blood!"

"Okay, you are beautiful and kind, and everything you say makes sense."

Alexander no longer forced himself: "But let's talk about it, there must be a rationale for its existence. It is not ten or twenty years since the birth of ayahuasca. Have you ever heard of the soul-returning incense of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? The emperor thought What I saw was the woman I love, but in fact it was just a part of my own demons. If the system came out and determined that ayahuasca is not a banned drug, wouldn't your impression of it change?"

Song Yin became more and more confused by him, and simply started to play tricks: "Am I here to take a philosophical speculation class at Beacon University? Can we stop asking these inexplicable questions? Is there any food in your house? Say you're hungry!"

Perhaps because he felt that the summer worm was beyond words, Alexander did not bring up any topics related to ayahuasca.The two of them went back downstairs for a quick bite to eat, and then Alexander made a new proposal: "Do you want to go up to the top of the tower to have a look?"

Anyway, idle is idle, Song Yin followed Alexander and circled up the iron ladder, and it took five or six minutes to reach the top of the lighthouse.However, to his surprise, the room where the light source was placed on the top of the lighthouse could not be opened.

"This is a door locked by myself. If you want to know what's hidden inside, just spray ayahuasca on me."

Alexander was joking like this, while leading Song Yin to the viewing corridor outside the house.

From here, Song Yin saw what Alexander called "the whole world" - including a large barren reef plain and a wider ocean.

The singing voices of the assistant officers who turned into mermaids were still being blown by the sea breeze intermittently.Although Song Yin really wanted to meet them and ask them if they regretted their original choice, but seeing the stormy sea crashing against the shore, she finally gave up the idea.

Before leaving, he asked Alexander bluntly: "May I tell Foehn about my visit to you today?"

"My personal suggestion is that even among family members, some small secrets should be kept properly."

Alexander leaned against the locked door, shook his head solemnly at first, and then laughed again: "However, can I say that these are useful?"

Song Yin also laughed: "Anyway, before you invited me, you must have considered my relationship with Foehn."

These words obviously hit the point—Alexander pouted, and stopped dwelling on this issue.

"As you please." He said softly, "Anyway, the Burning Team doesn't look like the kind of villain who likes to inform everywhere."

"He's definitely not." Otherwise, your life would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now—— Song Yin curled the corners of her lips, and then her heart started to itch again: "Can I ask a question that is a bit gossip? You and that executive named Mu Hui Officer, did you know him well before?"

"Didn't you say it? We met through that young couple. Relationship, we occasionally sit together and read books. But he is not like me, an ignorant, lazy trash." Same—he is the famous and specially selected executive officer, the future hope of the Yugutai team, who is loved by thousands of people, but he doesn't know it. It's like a cold moon hanging high in the cold sky, out of reach .”

When he said these words, Alexander cast his gaze into the depths of the distant sea, as if a bright moon might rise there at any time.

"It sounds like you adore him a little bit?" Song Yin truthfully expressed his sour feelings.

"It should be said to be envy and jealousy." Alexander shook his head, "But I still can't understand why he longs for the warmth of others and a secular life so much. With his aptitude, he should be closer than anyone else." The realm of the gods. But he wants to turn himself into a mortal. Alas, the moon shines in the ditch!"

"There's nothing wrong with longing for the secular world." Song Yin understands this very well, "People have different lifestyles, and some people just think that gold ten thousand taels is nothing compared to a small hot pot meal at home...ah..."

Having said that, he suddenly slapped his head and remembered something very important.

"Yu Gutai's copy is probably over soon, I have to go back quickly! I promised Brother Nan yesterday that I will give him hot pot today!"

"I'll see you off." Alexander didn't hold back, "I'm glad that it's rare to be able to talk so much with others."

----

Leaving from Alexander's "world" and returning to the amusement park, Song Yin moved her neck and limbs when she walked out of the tent, and took a few deep breaths, as if she wanted to take all the cold air absorbed in that dark world just now from her body. disperse out.

Although it was close to dusk at four or five in the afternoon, the feeling of the slanting warm sun falling on the body was still refreshing.

Song Yin closed her eyes and felt for a while, then suddenly recalled the scene when the beam of light from the lighthouse by the sea shrouded her body a few hours ago.

If according to Alexander's theory, light is only a tool created to monitor prisoners, then why do humans still like the feeling of being shrouded in sunlight from the bottom of their hearts?

"...It's over, am I going to be brainwashed by him too?"

Dispelling all kinds of philosophical propositions circling in his mind, Song Yin stood quietly at the fork in front of the carousel for a few seconds, and his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a series of message notification bells.

He just remembered that after entering Alexander's "world", the mobile phone had been in a strange state of "no signal", and it seemed that it had finally recovered.

He reached into his pocket, but before touching the phone, his fingertips first touched a small, thin, short cylinder with a cold and smooth surface.

Song Yin's heart skipped a beat -- he didn't need to take it out, he already guessed what it was.

----

Two hours later, the Yugutai team's emergency reinforcement mission ended.Unlike the relaxed and joyful days when work was over in the past, today's combat preparation room is extraordinarily quiet.Even the most noisy pika has died down, and the circles of its eyes are even a little red.

Maybe it's because what just happened in the dungeon has made people physically and mentally exhausted, and there is no follow-up discussion. Everyone tidied up and did everything in silence.

As the captain, Qi Zhengnan is always the last one to leave the battle preparation room, and today is no exception.

Logically speaking, he should go straight back to Song Yin's safe house - during the Chinese New Year period, he slept in Song Yin's bed almost every night.But right now, he doesn't want to bring the negative emotions from work back into his life, not to mention that it is necessary to go back to his safe house occasionally, and get some more clothes by the way.

As his assistant officer, Er Hu was supposed to go with him.It's just that the little cat has been obsessed with being with the two dogs these days, and immediately ran away without a trace as soon as the dungeon was over-so Qi Zhengnan returned to the safe house alone.

But just as he stepped onto the path at the gate of the yard, he saw a little golden-red light shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant covered by pink flowers.

He frowned, walked over quickly, and stepped directly on the lawn to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Through a layer of glass, he saw a few candles burning in the dining room.There is a copper stove hot pot on the dining table, and all kinds of clean vegetables are piled up beside the pot.

And the person who prepared all these, with his back to the window, carefully placed all kinds of dipping materials on the small trolley beside him.Qi Zhengnan knocked on the window glass abruptly, which gave him a huge shock.

"Why did you come here without me? You didn't tell me in advance." Qi Zhengnan walked in through the side door, put his arms around his lover's waist, and exchanged a light kiss naturally, "Why does it smell like peanuts?"

"Didn't you see that I was busy?" Song Yin licked the peanut butter on his fingers, and smiled: "Anyway, even if I don't tell you, you will find me, isn't that right?"

After a brief conversation, Qi Zhengnan ran to wash his hands.When I came back, the clear soup in the hot pot had just boiled, and a white mist rose in the restaurant like a small rain cloud.

After preparing the seasoning according to personal taste, Song Yin first sat down and prepared to eat.At this time, Qi Zhengnan took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.

"Have a drink with me." He took two glasses and walked to the table, filled them both, without clinking glasses, and took a few swigs first.

"How is today?" Song Yin distributed some of the mutton he cooked to Qi Zhengnan, and asked by the way.

"...It's okay." Qi Zhengnan paused for a moment on his wrist, and put the hot gluten into Song Yin's bowl.

Song Yin was still talking about the housework like a normal person: "I heard that during the New Year, the on-duty is three times the work points and the reward, is it true?"

"Yes." Qi Zhengnan nodded, "Three times."

"..." Song Yin scalded a handful of coriander and threw it into Qi Zhengnan's bowl, then frowned and watched Qi Zhengnan eat it all in his mouth without saying a word.

"You are abnormal." He asked with concern, "Did something happen in the dungeon?"

The chopsticks in Qi Zhengnan's hand stopped, and then he sighed softly: "Obviously?"

"You're trying hard to cover it up. Most people shouldn't be able to see it, but I can." Song Yin gently pressed his hand on the back of Qi Zhengnan's hand, and said in a persuasive manner, "What's wrong? Could it be that the dream master has not been rescued?"

"Seriously injured, I'm being rescued." Qi Zhengnan nodded with great difficulty, and finally told the truth that made him feel stuck in his throat.

"The owner of that dream... is... a Persian leopard."

The author has something to say: Alexander: I really envy Qi Zhengnan, who is talented and promising, loved by thousands of people, and is a close friend of the official announcement system.As for me, I have nothing but disturbing parents.

Qi Zhengnan: I still have cats, two cats

Alexander: Look at my mouth shape: Gewuen!

----

Alexander is in the ditch, his heart is toward the bright moon.

Qi Zhengnan's body is like a bright moon, but he only wants to eat hot pot.

I'm sorry for the Persian leopard, but the name of this endangered animal was originally considered
