With a rare one-week holiday, Wu Shiyu chose to return to her old home at Shen Hai City to rest.
It was already night. Inside the spacious bedroom, she leaned against the bed and watched the television that hung on the wall. The table beside the bed was filled with snacks and a black 'lucid dream mask'.
This was a knock-off version that she came up with based on Phecda's' dream mask '. It was made up of a circuit that monitored eye movement and a microcontroller. It could detect the user's REM during sleep and then send out a signal with a blinking LED light to stimulate the user's consciousness and help them enter a lucid dream state.
Over the past half a year, Wu Shiyu had mastered lucid dreams but that was just a stepping stone.
Even though Phecda disagreed with her, her real goal was the Dreamlands. She had learned quite a bit from Angell's Academy and she planned to give it a try during this holiday …
She received a second silent call. The number appeared to be different but it was probably the same person. She wanted to hang up and report it to the police station if it called again, because the situation was quite strange. However, there seemed to be another strange feeling telling her not to hang up, so she let it be for now.
She could hear the weak breathing coming from the phone but a sense of familiarity crept over her.
This familiarity … reminded her of the breathing of her only partner who sat next to her when she was trying to focus on one of the hundreds of different sounds during GPS training.
Furthermore, for a few moments earlier, she suddenly felt a saltiness and then a pain. It felt like she was holding a scalpel in her hand.
She sensed that the strange feeling that had stopped her earlier was due to this.
'What's going on? ' Wu Shiyu pressed the remote to lower the volume of the television with one hand and held the phone to her ear with the other. The person on the other side still did not speak and the breathing did not change.
"Dirty-minded Jun?" She voiced the question that popped up in her mind, "Is that you?"
The breathing on the other end suddenly became heavier!
Wu Shiyu immediately switched off the television. She rolled around on the bed. Her heart was pounding and her breathing was heavy. 'It's him, it's salty! It's this saltiness.
Dirty-minded Jun is not dead, he's really not dead, he's back!
But why is he not talking? Is he unable to speak in his current condition?
But that feeling earlier … Wu Shiyu suddenly realized, 'Is Dirty-minded Jun doing some kind of teleportation?' She immediately closed her eyes to feel it and received it from the darkness …
A rabbit? She couldn't help but think of this. A white cartoon rabbit with long ears and a cheap expression.
It looks a little familiar … Isn't this the rabbit from the movie Pet Secrets?
"You turned into a rabbit?" Wu Shiyu exclaimed. There was the smell of salted rabbit meat, and he could hear some children singing. He could also see a rainbow in front of him.
But she could tell that these were her own synaesthesia.
If it had turned into a rabbit, it was no wonder that it couldn't speak. However, she continued to sense it. Why did it feel like there was a kangaroo? Rats? Grouse? Quail?
Usually, at times like this, she would just leave it to fate. It wasn't the first or second day that her mind had opened up a zoo.
This time, she couldn't leave it to fate … Suddenly, she thought of Toy Story. The two movies seemed to have something in common …
It was a secret! To prevent humans from knowing that the toys and pets had their own thoughts, society and lives, Dirty-minded Jun meant that they were going to act in secret?
He was alive, but he didn't want anyone to know.
Wu Shiyu understood a little. If his phone was being monitored, then he would be exposed. He couldn't force him to admit it, and he would have to be monitored instead …
"Sigh, look at me." She rolled her eyes and purposely sighed. "So I haven't fallen asleep yet … I thought Dirty-minded Jun was telling me about my dreams. His life had been too comfortable recently, and he had eaten too much. But sometimes, it's good to talk to a stranger. Some things are better left unsaid to an acquaintance. Hey, listen, I miss Dirty-minded Jun. "
As she spoke, she didn't stop listening to the faint breathing sounds on the other end, feeling the information he was transmitting.
A "No Smoking" sign … Pokemon's Kabi was sleeping soundly with its belly propped up …
What did that mean? Wu Shiyu did not know if this was the image sent by Gu Jun, or if it was his own synaesthesia.
Ban the Kabi Beasts? Sleeping is prohibited. She thought of this meaning. Why? Widening his eyes slightly, he glanced at the lucid dream mask on the table beside his bed. Don't go to the Dreamlands? Hmm, he guessed it? Now that he had returned, she would not be able to find him at the Dreamlands. That was why he said no.
"Time to sleep." Wu Siyu said tentatively, "I hope I won't have any dreams tonight. Don't dream anything that's clear or fuzzy. I want to have a good sleep."
She was probably right because the KFC logo popped up in her mind.
An old man with a smile on his face. If he was smiling, then he was happy. Don't dream.
Wu Shiyu continued to sense him. Internally, she tried to ask, 'Is there anything else? Where are you? How do I find you?
An old lady who was crossing the road … Hmm, the main point is not the old lady, the traffic light is red … Wait, wait for him to contact me again? '
The breathing sound was heavy and the connection was weakening. She believed Dirty-minded Jun's mental power might not be able to hold on much longer because even she felt her head swell. The transmitter was always more exhausted than the receiver. She could only say, "Then that's it. We'll talk again next time?"
The smile of the KFC old man appeared in her heart again, but this time it appeared brighter.
She tried her best to send the smile back to him.
She had no idea whether she succeeded or not. With a beep, the phone was disconnected.
Wu Shiyu opened her eyes to look at the phone in her hand. Her heart was filled with longing and dreamy. 'Was that … really Dirty-minded Jun?'
She crawled up from the bed and checked the two numbers. She realized they were both from Australia.
No wonder she could sense a kangaroo. But how did he end up there? Maybe he wasn't a rabbit. Was he a kangaroo?
"Sigh." Wu Shiyu's heart ached. No matter how he came back, whether he was a rabbit or a kangaroo, he must have had a hard life as an animal. From the beginning until now, he could call her, who knew how much suffering he had gone through.
Suddenly reminded of something, she did some research. Kangaroos in Australia could be slaughtered and eaten, so Dirty-minded Jun was still in danger!
'This guy is so dumb. If he wanted to be an animal, wouldn't he be safe as a panda? '
'But perhaps he's still a human? ' The thought made her feel much better. Dirty-minded Jun did not say anything because he wanted to keep this a secret. He believed there had to be a reason for it. But why? Even if he returned as a kangaroo, he wouldn't be dissected and studied. After all, he was a hero with a Phecda Medal … Would he?
That night, Wu Shiyu thought about many things.
She did not fall asleep at all. Her thoughts were more jumbled than the number of chips she had eaten but there was a place in her heart that had settled down.
Early the next morning, her phone rang again. She was quite disappointed. The caller's name was not Dirty-minded Jun.
Once she accepted the call, she could hear the excited voice on the other end.
"Shi Yu, Ah Jun might still be alive! He has sent us a distress signal, a very clear one! "
