"You lied to me..." Cheng Ye looked at Liu Ning, feeling as heartbroken as Ling Chi.
He was not infected at all, and there was no way Wang Gaojie would have the chance to tell him what he had dreamed about.
First of all, it took a lot of effort for him to know what the nightmare was. He didn't remember the dream at first.
This nightmare is full of malicious intent, and it has no hope that the person who created it will remember its contents.
Secondly, since Wang Gaojie died the next day, where was the opportunity to tell Liu Ning what he had dreamed about?
Liu Ning saw the similarities between Wang Gaojie and him through his performance, and deduced what he might have discovered that night.
Liu Ning was just deceiving him.
But he believed it.
Cheng Ye looked at his roommate Liu Ning in front of him sadly.
Liu Ning actually took advantage of his feelings for his brother.
Taking advantage of his anxiety in facing the possible death of his second brother, he urged him to tell him the truth when he was not completely ready.
"Don't you know what this means?" Cheng Ye was angry.
The voice roared like a wild beast that had lost its mind.
His chest rose and fell, and veins popped out on his forehead, like a beast ready to bite its prey at any time.
This kind of anger is not only helpless about the unpredictable events tonight, but also heartbreaking for Liu Ning's irresponsible behavior.
Did he know that this meant death.
Liu Ning did not refute, he lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
The arms he held were still exposed, and the purple color looked so dazzling at the moment.
The bruises were drawn by himself through memory based on the marks on Wang Gaojie's body and the marks on Cheng Ye's neck that day.
It took him a lot of effort to restore it successfully.
As for his other arm, there were two large bruises on it due to the incorrect angle.
He went to great lengths to deceive Cheng Ye.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
The already quiet classroom seemed even more silent.
After a while.
Liu Ning stared at the notebook where Cheng Ye was writing and drawing, and said easily: "Junjun, I see what you have analyzed just now. I feel that we are not in a desperate situation now. Why don't you share it with me?"
Cheng Ye said nothing.
Liu Ning's tone became more relaxed: "Look, you have to tell me so that I can get through tonight better..."
Cheng Ye couldn't help it anymore. He clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and the corners of his eyes were sore. He couldn't help but curse angrily: "Why on earth do you have to put yourself in danger?"
Liu Ning didn't have to be in such danger.
He wouldn't have been involved.
It's all my fault that I said it without thinking clearly, and it's all my fault that I was confused because I cared.
Cheng Ye punched the table angrily and hard.
He didn't want anyone to die in his place.
This matter happened because of him, so he just wanted to take responsibility for it himself.
Liu Ning looked at Cheng Ye, with a relaxed expression, and said with relief: "I have come in, and now I should think about how to solve the problem."
A long wind blew from far away, blowing across the vast land and into the green and bright school. It passed by the small classroom and touched the two people inside, as if to soothe Cheng Ye's angry mood. There were bursts of low chuckles coming from the classroom next door.
Cheng Ye sighed, his eyes turned red, he tightened his pen and started writing on the paper.
"I discovered the connection between shadows and nightmares..."
Liu Ning stood next to Cheng Ye and listened to him quietly.
Cheng Ye's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of bitterness that couldn't be concealed: "You must try hard to remember that you are dreaming tonight, and you must remember what you dreamed about..."
Cheng Ye recalled how he escaped the nightmare when he was awake: "As long as you control Su Ru'er, the dream will collapse on its own."
"So you must remember that you are dreaming. The first time Su Ru'er attacks you, control her..."
"...I judge that the black shadow will slowly appear and restrict your activities after you are attacked a few times."
"My shadow hasn't turned black yet." Liu Ning stared at their two shadows and compared the colors.
Cheng Ye recalled Wang Gaojie that day: "Wang Gaojie didn't either, the infection process is slow..."
"Is there an incubation period?" Liu Ning analyzed.
"Yes, it should be passed on for a period of time, and slowly be completely infected?" Cheng Ye did not see Wang Gaojie's state that night, so he could only guess.
Liu Ning saw the word "telephone" written on the paper and pointed at it: "What is the phone number?"
"I'm going home tonight." Cheng Ye sighed: "This is a guess of mine. I'm going to try it tonight."
"The phone is the breakthrough?" Liu Ning was very keen.
Cheng Ye nodded and told what happened that night when he was woken up by a phone call and escaped.
"...But I'm not sure, because I was not prepared that day, and I didn't know what happened in the nightmare."
Liu Ning: "You didn't remember that dream."
Cheng Ye: "Yes, my judgment that it was a dream was just based on my strong intuition."
Liu Ning: "Because the bruise when you woke up that time was exactly the same as the bruise when you woke up after remembering that dream."
Cheng Ye: "Yes, that's why I judged that the bruise was Su Ru'er's attack."
Liu Ning nodded: "Let me sum it up. 1. Nightmares are contagious, 2. Shadows can restrict movement, 3. Nightmares do not want us to remember them, we have to work hard to remember them, 4. The attacks in dreams will appear in real life. In reality, death in dreams is also death in reality, 5, the female ghost has demands."
Cheng Ye nodded: "Yes, these are the only conclusions that can be drawn at present."
Liu Ning smiled: "See you tomorrow, brother."
Cheng Ye looked at Liu Ning deeply: "You must be careful."
Liu Ning was very calm. He suddenly stopped and walked back: "Junjun, the four of us came to the same dormitory because of fate. We all know what kind of people each other is."
"It's possible that this is the last time we see each other, so I want to say a few more words."
"As you said, this nightmare has no solution for the time being. We can only find ways to find more clues or solve the female ghost's demands."
"But now, we don't know what our appeal is? We don't understand the origin of the nightmare. We can only fight with our own lives."
"I believe that if this nightmare expands, it will be a nightmare for all mankind."
"But we must be willing to sacrifice for this."
"This is my choice, you must not feel guilty about it."
"None of us will tell anyone about this nightmare in order to survive. It will probably find me tonight, and I will try my best to find relevant clues."
"We fought one after another and risked our lives. I believe that this matter will definitely end between you and me."
After speaking, Liu Ning smiled. There was no fear of life or death on his face. He calmly put his hand on Cheng Ye's shoulder, as if he wanted to give Cheng Ye strength.
"work hard together!"
…
PS: It was us who worked hard to stop this infection.
