8. White Cat

"This page of PPT appears as a blind, and it takes a long time to appear. You need to switch in advance..."

On the other side, the dream world.

At Jiang Yanche's home, he sat in front of the computer and browsed the presentation that Liu Minsheng would use in the afternoon. Although he was an assistant teacher, his task was to sit next to Liu Minsheng, help him switch presentations, and do some trivial things like pouring water.

After reading all the more than 30 PPTs, Jiang Yanche stretched his waist. He had an inexplicable illusion of returning to ordinary life. Fortunately, the beautiful mountains and rivers that appeared and disappeared in front of him reminded him that this was still an unknown dream world!

Almost...

In the dream world, he would not feel hungry. The nutrient solution that Company X continuously supplied to them offset the body's metabolism, and the excrement would be cleaned up regularly.

It can be said that Company X helped them solve all physiological problems, and they only needed to focus on finding the core of the dream.

Jiang Yanche smacked his lips, closed the computer, prepared for a while, and left the room and walked towards the lecture venue.

This time, he completely played the role of a student - this is also his truest identity. Along the way, the pedestrians around him seemed to ignore him and did not show any hostility.

Now that he was truly safe, Jiang Yanche's mind became active again.

If [Xingxing] had not helped him before, what would have been his ending? Wake up? Or...

Death? !

Thinking of this, his face became much gloomier. Perhaps because of the continuous nightmares for more than ten days, Jiang Yanche's expression was not rich. He walked on the road with his head down all the time.

When a pedestrian asked him for directions, he just shook his head and left without saying a word.

The lecture was held in his university lecture hall. Standing at the entrance of the university, Jiang Yanche was stunned by the familiar and unfamiliar plaque.

What was familiar was the form and composition of the plaque; what was unfamiliar was the text on it.

Yuwang University.

The originally antique door was like the gate of hell in Jiang Yanche's eyes.

In a trance, he seemed to understand something. Why he was so silent was also a certain factor, which was the alienation in his heart.

Around him was a familiar city, familiar yet strange.

Things and people have changed, and the city has changed its name. Being in it, Jiang Yanche is incompatible with society, just like in reality.

Leftovers, redundant people...

Loneliness, I don't know when, has become their fate.

When Jiang Yanche had such a thought in his mind, his skin suddenly felt like it was pricked by needles.

This familiar feeling...

His pupils shrank, and he looked around. Passers-by who were passing by stopped at the same time, and their eyes gathered on him like searchlights.

Damn, this is too sensitive!

[Star] seemed to feel something and trembled again. This time Jiang Yanche learned it and took [Star] out of his pocket.

When exposed to the air, its ability seemed to be amplified, the starlight flashed more frequently, and the isolation ability reappeared.

But Jiang Yanche still couldn't master the power of [Star]. After it took effect this time, it was obvious that the color on the front of the tarot card was much dimmer.

When the tarot card really lost its luster, it could no longer automatically deploy defense. If Jiang Yanche couldn't find a way to truly master [Star] before that, this card in his hand would be no different from waste paper.

Of course, there is another way. Jiang Yanche tried to enter a deep acting state to reduce the number of times the tarot card was triggered.

After the pedestrians who were eyeing him left, Jiang Yanche was relieved, took back the [Star], walked into the campus, and walked towards the lecture hall. There was still half an hour before the lecture started. He and Professor Liu Minsheng agreed to meet at the door of the lecture hall.

This time, Jiang Yanche forcibly diverted his attention and began to recall the content of the lecture PPT. Through that just now, he was sure that when there was a gap in his heart, a sense of disobedience would naturally emerge on the outside.

This sense of disharmony may be very slight, but it can still be detected by the dream, so as to counter him.

Buzz!

Jiang Yanche silently summarized the rules he had just discovered in his heart. Suddenly, the [Star] that had been silent in his pocket actually flashed again.

Hmm?

Jiang Yanche frowned. He had not exceeded the standard in both behavior and psychology just now. Around him, pedestrians came and went, and no one looked at him.

"Tsk..."

Shaking his head, he no longer paid attention to the tremor of [Star]. Fortunately, [Star] returned to calm, and he also approached the lecture hall building.

...

Jiang Yanche did not notice that less than 500 meters away from where he just stood, a group of students holding notebooks surrounded a person.

These students looked very strange, staring at a boy in the middle. Their appearance was exactly the same as those who found Jiang Yanche abnormal!

"Fuck, I just said 'This dream is too real', what's wrong with you guys?"

Being stared at by so many people at the same time, the boy felt uncomfortable and lowered his head. He wanted to break out of the crowd. But he was hit by a thin girl, and he gasped.

The collision was very short, but the girl's body was like a steel plate, rooted in the ground, and she took the boy's impact head-on, and she didn't even shake!

If Jiang Yanche was here, he would definitely recognize that this panicked boy was Luo Wuyou, who was also in the dream!

He is a medical undergraduate student who happened to study at this university. From a certain perspective, Jiang Yanche is still his senior.

Look, he went to the laboratory with his classmates. On the way, he muttered to himself and fell into such a predicament.

I will die...

After a palpitation, this was his only thought.

The encirclement gradually narrowed, and the sky seemed to be a reflection of Luo Wuyou's heart. The clouds blocked the light and left a shadow on his face.

"Why are you standing there? Let's go!"

Suddenly, a voice came into his ears. Luo Wuyou was stunned. He looked up. In front of him, a classmate adjusted his glasses and looked at Luo Wuyou with a puzzled look.

"Tsk, you are sweating so much in this weather, Wuyou, are you suffering from kidney deficiency?"

Luo Wuyou stared at the people in front of him, turned his head, and a roommate looked at him jokingly.

"Ah... I'm fine, I'm fine."

Luo Wuyou chuckled, and the tight string in his heart loosened. He followed others and continued to walk towards the laboratory.

But this time, he slowed down and fell behind the team.

What happened...?

Why did the crisis suddenly resolve again?

Meow~

The cat's cry came suddenly, interrupting Luo Wuyou's thoughts.

He came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound. A white cat was lying on the lawn, staring at him. Its eyes were like emeralds, but now they were as blue as the sky.

Everything that happened just now, silently, cast a shadow in Luo Wuyou's heart.

He didn't dare to face the white cat's gaze again, turned his head, and followed the footsteps of other students.

Cats appearing on university campuses... well... it's normal!
