Plague Doctor

With a rare one-week holiday, Wu Shiyu chose to return to his hometown in Shenhai City to rest.

It was already night. In the spacious bedroom, she was lying on the bed and watching the TV hanging on the wall in front of her. The bedside table was filled with various snacks and a black "lucid dreaming eye mask".

This thing is a copycat version she made based on the principle of the bureau's "dream eye mask". It is also combined with a circuit that monitors eye movement and a microcontroller. It can detect the rapid eye movement of the user during sleep, and then Flashing LED lights send signals to stimulate the user's consciousness and help them enter a lucid dream.

Over the past six months, Wu Shiyu has mastered lucid dreaming, but this is just a springboard.

Although the Bureau does not agree with her view, her real goal is the Dreamland. She has learned a lot from the Angel School and is planning to give it a try this holiday...

I received a second silent call. The number seemed to be different, but it was probably the same person. She originally wanted to hang up and report the call to the bureau if the call continued, because the situation was quite strange, but there seemed to be another strange feeling that told her not to hang up, so she let it go.

There was still a very faint sound of breathing coming from the phone, but she gradually felt a sense of familiarity.

This familiarity... seemed to be the breathing of her only partner sitting next to her when she was focusing on a certain sound out of thousands of sounds during global training.

And she had been in a trance just now, and she suddenly felt a salty smell, and then a pain, like holding the blade of a scalpel in her hand.

She realized that the strange feeling that had stopped her before was composed of these.

what's the situation? Wu Shiyu pressed the remote control with one hand to turn down the TV volume, and picked up the phone with the other hand and put it to his ear. The other party still did not speak, and his breathing did not change.

"Xian Jun?" She asked what was in her heart, "Is it you?"

The breathing on the other end suddenly became heavier!

Wu Shiyu immediately turned off the TV and rolled on the bed. His heart was beating hard and his breathing was getting heavier. It was him, so salty! That's how salty it is.

Xian Jun is not dead, really not dead, he is back!

But why don't you speak? Is he unable to speak in his current situation?

But those feelings just now... Wu Shiyu suddenly realized, was Xian Jun engaging in teleportation? She immediately closed her eyes and felt, absorbing from the darkness...

A rabbit? She had no reason to think of this, a cartoon white rabbit with long ears and a mean expression.

Looks familiar... isn't this the bunny from the movie "The Secret Life of Pets"?

"You turned into a rabbit?" Wu Shiyu asked in surprise. It smelled of salty rabbit meat, he heard some children's voices singing, and he saw a rainbow in front of his eyes.

But she could tell that these belonged to her synesthesia.

If she turned into a rabbit, no wonder she would be speechless, but she continued to sense, why did it seem that there was a kangaroo? mouse? grouse? quail?

Normally at times like this, just let it go, she had a zoo in her mind for more than a day or two.

But this time she couldn't just let it happen... Suddenly she thought of "Toy Story" again. The two movies seemed to have one thing in common...

It's a secret! Don't let humans know that toys and pets have their own thoughts, societies and lives. Does Xian Jun mean to act secretly now?

He's still alive, but he doesn't want anyone to know.

Wu Shiyu somewhat understood that if his cell phone was being monitored, then the secret would be exposed. He could not be forced to admit it, and he would have to counter-monitor...

"Look at me." She rolled her eyes and sighed deliberately: "It turns out that I haven't fallen asleep yet... I thought Xian Jun had told me a dream. I have been living too comfortably recently and I have eaten too much. Yes. But sometimes it’s good to talk to strangers. Some things are hard to say to acquaintances. Hey, listen, I miss Xianjun."

As she spoke, she didn't stop listening to the soft breathing on the other end, feeling the message from him.

No smoking sign...Pocket Monster's Kirby, sleeping with its belly raised...

What does this mean? Wu Shiyu didn't know whether this was Gu Junchuan's image or his own synaesthetic deformation.

Ban Kirby? Sleeping is prohibited. She thought of this meaning, why? I opened my eyes slightly and glanced at the lucid dreaming eye mask on the bedside table, prohibiting dreaming? Don't want to go to Dreamland? Hey, he guessed it? Now that he is back, you will definitely not be able to find him if you go to Dreamland now, so he said not to go.

"Get ready to sleep." Wu Shiyu tried to say, "I hope I won't have any dreams tonight, and I won't have any vague dreams tonight. I want to have a good sleep."

She must have guessed correctly, because then she remembered the KFC logo for no reason.

An old man with a nice smile, if he smiles, he is happy, don’t fall asleep.

Wu Shiyu continued to sense, trying to say to him in his heart: Is there anything else, where are you, how can I find you?

An old woman who wants to cross the road... Well, the point is not the old woman, but the traffic light is on red... Waiting, waiting for him to contact you again?

The breathing was a bit heavy, and the feeling of connection was getting weaker and weaker. She thought that Xian Jun's mental strength might not be able to hold on, because even she herself felt a little dizzy, and the transmitter always worked harder than the receiver. She could only say: "That's it, let's talk next time?"

The smile of Grandpa KFC appeared in her heart again, and this time the smile seemed even brighter.

She also worked hard to send this smile back to him.

Not sure if it was successful or not, the phone beeped and the phone was hung up.

Wu Shiyu

I opened my eyes and looked at the mobile phone in my hand, feeling a little reluctant and dreamy. That just now... was really Xianjun, wasn't it?

She got up and pressed her phone to check the two caller numbers. She checked again and found that they were both calling from Australia.

No wonder Tong felt a kangaroo, but how did he get there? Maybe instead of a rabbit, he was reincarnated as a kangaroo?

"Alas." Wu Shiyu was a little heartbroken. No matter whether he was reincarnated or came back in some way, whether he was a rabbit or a kangaroo, he had become an animal and his life must have been very difficult. From the beginning to now where I can make phone calls, I really don’t know how much suffering I have endured.

Thinking of something, she immediately checked again and found out that kangaroos in Australia can be killed for meat, and Xian Jun was still in danger!

This guy is really stupid. If he wants to be an animal, wouldn't it be safe to reincarnate as a panda?

"But maybe he is still a human being?" This thought made her feel much better, and she was not so anxious. Xian Jun didn't speak because he wanted to keep it secret. He thought there must be a reason why he needed to keep it secret. Why? Even if he comes back as a kangaroo, he won't be sliced ​​up for study, right? He's a hero with the Medal of Secrets... Or will he?

This night, Wu Shiyu thought a lot.

Not to mention falling asleep, she didn't fall asleep at all. She had more chaotic thoughts than the potato chips she had eaten, but there was always a place where she felt at ease in her heart.

Early the next morning, she received another call on her cell phone. She was a little disappointed that the name of the caller displayed on the screen was not Xian Jun.

As soon as she answered the call, she heard the other party saying excitedly:

"Shigure, Jun may still be alive! He sent us a distress signal, a very clear signal!"

Love the Plague Doctor.
