Chapter Ten: The Dream Continues

  （1）

  For those who are meticulous and sensitive in their thoughts, the gap between dreams and reality is not an absurd statement. Especially when they have stayed in the dream world for too long, so the deterioration of the body in the real world, the brain's rejection of sleep, and the impossibility of perfect dreams are all indispensable factors that they can discover clues.

  So, Ge Tianyu would feel suppressed in the space where You Zhi Meng existed, and would have a feeling of being peeped at. While outside, facing pedestrians composed of program codes, she would have an irrepressible desire to vomit.

  "That's how it is." Ge Tianyu described his recent feelings, "I think they may have found out already. I've been hiding like this every day."

  Yu Jian didn't mind, "It's okay, as long as we go along with what they want." He glanced at the girl's terrified expression and reached out to grab her right hand, looking at her gently. "Remember Du Qiu, the prosecutor from 'Pursuit'? We're in a similar situation now. Let's pretend to take the ax medicine and put on an act of being crazy. There's nothing to be afraid of, just go along with their plan for now."

  The only thing to remember is to stop at the end.

  Ge Tianyu thought for a moment, and his heart suddenly felt a bit lighter, and his thoughts returned to his mind. "I'm worried that if they find out, they'll re-implant our dreams again. If we're really re-implanted with dreams, then we might not remember anything at all, just like Zhen Tianqi, who has been dead in my memory for a long time."

  For the dreamer who planted the dream, she is almost unaware of it. The only thing she knows is that the dreamer can't just plant one dream, but can simultaneously plant many dreams, which is a dream within a dream. These dreams have very ordinary dreams and also dreams that can replace original memories - like the dream they are in now. They completely forget whether the people and events in the real world are the same as those in the dream world, but it's clear that many of them are different, such as Zhen Tianqi who has already died.

  Yu Chen's dream was initially composed of three overlapping dreams, and now it seems she is still trapped in the dream, so there are four layers of nested dreams. The first two dreams targeting Yu Chen have stopped participating, leaving only the current dream that traps her and Yu Mei, which means the mother can still have plenty of space to implant new dreams in this dream to achieve their goals.

  "Dreamweaving is easy for them, but also has its limitations. Through Yu Chen's dream, we can see that they can re-enter the dream within a dream, which is what people call 'dream within a dream'. I've observed for a long time, and every day at 2:30 am, there will be dreamweavers coming to our side, this should be one of their settings, in order to determine whether or not they need to plant new dreams for those already in the dream. Yu Jiansong opened his hand, pulled out a notebook from his pocket and flipped it open for Ge Tianyu to see, 'But I've thought about it, if there are only two dreamweavers now, they shouldn't have the energy to plant dreams within our dreams.'"

  Yu Chen's dream sequence appeared with three linked dreams - let's assume it was three, because this is what we saw and participated in. This is because in his initial dream sequence, there was no requirement for a dream planter to appear. The tall trees and Ou Zhiyu that appeared in his dream sequence should have just been program code.

  "The day before yesterday, I made an appointment with Qiaomu to verify my inference. There was a kind of oppressive feeling, like what you said. I believe you have also seen them and obtained evidence from your feelings. In this way, Yu Chen's first dream does not need the direct participation of the dream planter. Except for the performance of your 'long-dead' sister. But that time was very short and would not disturb the daily life of the dream planter."

  "As for the second dream, only your mother appears occasionally and not as the main character, so she only needs to spend a small part of her time entering the dream to be sufficient. And your sister does not appear, indicating that she is controlling the dream in the real world and taking care of your mother's body."

  "Then there's Yu Chen and what we thought was the so-called real dream, which still only involves your mother's participation. And you also said that her work is very busy, and you can't see her often. Maybe it's because Zhen Tianqi can't control the dream for a long time alone, so she must return to the real world for a certain period of time every day."

  Yu Jian looked up and glanced at the girl, seeing a smile on her face, and was satisfied with the corners of his mouth. "So you should understand why even if they sensed the difference between you and me, they didn't implant dreams in our dreams."

  "Uh-huh." Ge Tianyu nodded, "If the dream within a dream must be completed by Zhen Tiange, and she needs to enter our dreams to modify our memories, then in the real world, she must fall asleep. And since Aunt Zhen also needs to enter the dream to investigate, there will be a phenomenon where no one controls the dream in reality."

  Yu Jing nodded, "Yes, the double dream requires at least one of the lucid dreamers in the real world to be awake, and once both enter the dream, the dream will unravel and our consciousness will return to the real world."

  "So we don't need to rush, the dream walkers are not just two, it's just that there are only two people controlling our dreams for now. What we need to do is follow their thoughts and at least not let them summon other dream walkers to implant new dreams in us." Yu Yan stood up, "Just observe the changes quietly."

  "Xiao Yu, I think you should interact with Lawyer Yu more. After all, he has recovered very well, but your body is getting worse and worse." Zhen Yi stroked Ge Tianyu's head and said, "Look at how thin you've become in the past few days, it's like you're not even yourself anymore."

  Ge Tianyu smiled and said, "It's not that serious, mom. I just had a bit of gastroenteritis and couldn't eat for the past few days, but I'm fine now."

  "That's good, you've always made me worry, I'm often not at home, and your father leaves early, no one takes care of you." Aunt Zhen said with a choked voice, "I think Yu Jian is a good kid, he has achievements, and he's polite. You're already quite old, it won't hurt to interact with him more."

  "'Others are still studying,' Ge Tianyu glared at Zhen Niang with a hint of annoyance, 'and you're already thinking about these things.'"

  Auntie Zhen couldn't help but smile, "Silly child, you're still young, already 23."

  "Don't listen, don't listen! I won't stay at home and hear how you're going to marry me off!" The girl stamped her foot, grabbed her school bag, and ran out like the wind.

  Zhen Yi watched as Ge Tianyu ran out of the unit door, turned around and put a note that had already been prepared on the dinner table, then her figure flickered and disappeared into the house.

  "Mom, why are you back now?" Zhen Tianqi looked at Aunt Zhen sitting up straight from the bed, very surprised. "It's just past three in the afternoon."

  "Xiao Yu has left." Zhen's aunt put on her shoes and socks, sat down beside Zhen Tianqi, "Is there any change in the brain waves?"

  "No, it's been pretty stable except for a bit of fluctuation the other day." The girl's handsome face was pale, as if she hadn't been out in the sun for a long time. "Sister shouldn't have suspected anything yet, and I haven't found anything unusual when I enter the dream to explore every day."

  "Uh-huh." Aunt Zhen nodded "It's time to get ready, Yu Chen will wake up soon too."

  "When is it set?" Zhen Tianqi asked. "According to sister's dream time, there are still two weeks left."

  "How long is it in the dream?"

  "Two years."

  "That's enough." Zhen Yi stood up and walked towards the storage room, "Then set Yu Chen's time to 15 days."

  The door to the storage room was pushed open, and the dark interior was illuminated. Zhen Ni gazed coldly at Ge Tianyu, who was half-lying on the ground, sinking into a daze, with an eerie sense of pleasure in her expression. "It's almost time for you to return to the real world, my dear daughter. How delightful."

  The phone suddenly rang, and Aunt Zhen closed the door and walked into the living room.

  "Sister, I heard that your family's Xiao Yu is getting engaged?" On the phone was Ge Tianyu's aunt. "With whom? How so soon?"

  "Yes." Zhen's aunt smiled and replied, "It is Yu Jia's young master, called Yu Chen."

  "Oh dear, that's really good fortune! The young master of the Yu family is said to be quite excellent, and with a wealthy family to boot. This time you'll all have a great life ahead of you!"

  "It's not like that, and besides, Madam Yu has passed away for some time now. Even if Xiaoyu gets married, she won't have to worry about pleasing her mother-in-law, I'm so delighted just thinking about it."

  Auntie Zhen hung up the phone and turned to her daughter, saying, "In two more days, find someone to give Xiaoyu some more nutrient injections. She's about to return to reality and get married soon, so she should at least look a bit presentable."

  There are still seven days left.
