When the time came, Zhang Fanyu disappeared out of thin air in front of several people.

He was forcibly brought into the dream state when he was asleep, and when the time came, he would naturally return to his original place.

Xiang Ya took Xiao Fang's hand and walked at the end. She watched Qin Sanqi and the others walk out of the room, and the state of the paper people was completely relieved.

Qin Sanqi is a muscular man with a short head. With a determined face, he said to several people with a loud smile, "Goodbye by fate."

Li Feichi has a baby face and looks extremely immature. The rising boy voice said: "Hey, brother Qin, wait for me, I want to go with you."

Luo Yanping wiped the long knife in her hand. She has handsome short hair, heroic facial features, and wears a black vest. The muscles of her arms are thin and smooth, and she looks very cool.

Seeing Xiangya looking over curiously, she pulled her out of the room with a smile.

The moment he left the safe room, each part of Xiangya's body gradually returned to its original state.

A little girl wearing a gray hooded sweater and light-colored sports trousers appeared in front of her, but Xiao Fang, who was holding her hand, disappeared.

Xiang Ya was absent-minded for a moment, but soon his expression returned to peace, spread out his palms, and said, "Xiao Fang has become a pocket watch prop."

She opened the pocket watch with a "click", and there was a small picture in the lid of a girl with a soft appearance.

The girl looked gentle and smiled.

Luo Yanping hugged Xiang Ya and rubbed her face happily.

"congratulations."

After speaking, he grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and said half in disgust and half seriously: "Xiang Ya, why don't you come to my martial arts hall to practice martial arts, your small body is too weak."

"Call me."

Xiangya pursed her lips and smiled, gave her the phone, and quickly added Luo Yanping's contact information.

Luo Yanping finished paying off the phone, looked at Xiangya for a while, and patted her head by taking advantage of her height as if in a dream.

"You still have to work hard in the future and stick to your own path."

She leaned over and looked at Xiangya seriously, and smiled softly.

"I haven't officially introduced it yet. My name is Luo Yanping. I'm 30 years old. You can call me Sister Luo. You are a newcomer in the same period. My points are temporarily ranked second in the same period."

"Xiang Ya, we will see you in the top ten of the newcomer list."

Luo Yanping's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, Xiangya finger hooked up the silver chain, and put it down abruptly, the black pocket watch swayed slightly in the air.

She took out a fist-sized crystal ball from her pocket. The crystal ball was extremely light, and there was a clockwork behind the base.

There is a fairy-tale-style building in the center of the exquisite inner world. The cute and beautiful Thumbelina, wearing a tattered skirt, is standing in front of the building on one leg, and the bottom is covered with silver shredded paper.

She closed her eyes and smiled peacefully, as if the most beautiful thing in the world was her smile.

"Ding, congratulations to the sleeper for getting the fairy tale crystal ball." A familiar female voice sounded in his head.

"Fairy tales seem to be beautiful, but the other side of beauty is darkness. In the dark, Thumbelina is forced to join forces, and the grievances after death have polluted the fairy tale world into hell, so are you ready to enter hell..."

"Fairy tale crystal ball, immediately twisting the clockwork, while Thumbelina spins and jumps alone, grants a blessing effect, restores 50% of the user's health, refills the stamina, and increases the movement speed by 100%.

(Warm reminder: This is a new function that Thumbelina specially added to Xiangya, but unfortunately, Xiangya is still physically scum after accelerating it~)”

"While standing upside down, twist the clockwork and switch to dark mode. After the user silently recites 'transform, beautiful girl', Thumbelina will be divided into two parts. During the music playing, non-human creatures within 100 meters will be attacked indiscriminately. ."

"Her goal is to create a new hell!"

"The fairy tale crystal ball can be used 5 times a day, please arrange it reasonably."

"Before using it for the first time, you need to fulfill Thumbelina's unfulfilled wish, find her corpse, and put on a beautiful tutu for her."

After the system finished reciting the introduction of the props, it disappeared quickly.

Xiangya stared at the crystal ball for a long time and sighed.

"Anyway, tell me where your body is buried, and you have to do detective work again."

"Officer Zhang said that the abduction case happened in Zhizhou City, where the Tianxing Hotel is located. According to the environment of Red Coffin Mountain, it should be in a mountain far from the city center, so we have to hurry up and take a look."

She walked around, put the crystal ball in her pocket with one hand, and shook her pocket watch, her eyes never leaving the photo.

When Xiao Fang disappeared just now, the system sounded the prompt sound of the item reward in his mind.

The suspended second hand of the pocket watch is walking on the ground. If the mainspring is twisted upside down, it can turn back time; if it is twisted forward, it can speed up the passage of time, and the number of twists before and after should not exceed 2.

It means that once used, she can change to the buds within 2 hours before and after.

Manager Li of Ami Hotel said before that the passage of time in a dream cannot be changed, but the current time pocket watch seems to violate the principle and can change the running of time.

However, after thinking about it seriously, Xiang Ya figured out the key, and she recalled every word of the prop description.

In fact, when the clockwork is twisted, the pocket watch can create a small parallel space, and she and other things that exist in the original space are transferred to the new space.

This space is equivalent to - painting.

In the painting, she can change the time, but if she uses a prop at 3 and returns to 1, the flow of time in the painting will speed up until a certain moment, when the inside and outside of the painting are synchronized, the painting will disappear, and she will return to the original time and space;

If she uses a prop at 3 o'clock and reaches 5 o'clock, the flow speed in the painting slows down. Similarly, after the time inside and outside the painting is synchronized, the painting disappears and she returns to the original time and space.

In other words, it's a simple catch-up problem.

Xiang Ya knew that the bigger the time span inside and outside the painting, the bigger the danger.

Although this prop can't really interfere with the passage of time in the dream, and there are other potential dangers, but it is very against the sky, even if it can only be used once a day, Xiang Ya believes that the pocket watch can help her in times of crisis.

He shook his hand to Ya, threw up his pocket watch and picked it up, clasping it around his neck.

The pocket watch and backpack pendant were stacked on her chest, making a crisp tinkling sound all the way.

...

When Xiangya walked out of the hotel, she saw Yan Li driving her ordinary white car not far away, rolling the window, and waving at her with a smile.

Not far from Yan Li, a few people bowed their heads and chatted, and got into a taxi together.

The sound of the second hand of the pocket watch suddenly increased, and she glanced at the few people at Ya, until the taxi left before she walked towards Yan Li.

"Little cute, are you happy to see me? I can accompany you again."

Xiang Ya skillfully got into the co-pilot, and his cheek was pinched again.

Yan Li rubbed her face and sat up reluctantly.

Xiang Ya was used to rubbing her red face.

Yan Li picked up a box of ladies' cigarettes from the front of the steering wheel and asked Xiang Ya with a smile, "Do you mind smoking?"

Xiang Ya shook his head quietly, "I don't mind."

Yan Li laughed lightly, and pressed the lighter with a click, and the flames ignited the cigarette butt in an instant.

She took a deep breath, her head resting heavily on the back of the chair.

Xiang Ya didn't care about her dejected state, picked up her phone, and concentrated on writing down the taxi license plate number she just saw in the memo.

Yan Li looked at her sideways, suddenly sat up straight with interest, and said with great interest, "Xiang Ya, can you guess why I'm here?"

Xiang Ya Ximei frowned slightly. After confirming that she remembered the number correctly, she put down her phone and turned her head to look at Yan Li.

"Because there is no conclusion about what you have investigated before, or it has something to do with the dream I experienced this time."

She handed over the phone to Yan Li to check.

"This is the license plate I wrote down. A few people left in this car just now. The props on my body reminded me that these people are most likely the people in the picture who replaced the tester's core."

"Brother Qin said that in the security room, the testers are protected, their colleagues cannot commit suicide, and the strength of those 19 people is unknown, we can only investigate privately after coming out..."

The playful expression on Yan Li's face gradually became solemn.

Tang Zhong had already contacted her privately about this dream and told her one by one.

But she didn't even sense just now that the few people passing by no longer had the peculiar aura of the staff of Ancheng.com.

This means that the identities of those people as sleep testers have been wiped out.

"I didn't receive any urgent contact from you in the dungeon. My companions all said that the difficulty of the dungeon was upgraded to S-level. 50 sleepers entered the dream dungeon, and 39 people died."

Speaking of this incident, Xiang Ya didn't see how angry she was. She seemed to have long adapted to Yan Li's unreliability.

No, it should be said that she should have seen Yan Li's intentions clearly.

"Yan Li, did you already know that this book will be upgraded?"

Yan Li took a breath, and two mists spewed out of her high nose.

Sigh: "What a smart kid."

"Yes, I deliberately let you enter this book, because I felt the breath of that person when I sent it up for review in the dream."

She narrowed her eyes, raised her hand and waved, and the environment in the car instantly changed to a coffee shop.

Xiangya looked around in surprise.

Yan Li explained: "It's just a few points, but it can get us back to the safest place."

"Who is that person? Is it related to Zhu Qing, the person in the painting who escaped this time?" Xiang Ya quickly returned to the topic.

Yan Li raised his legs, leaned on the wooden chair, and nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"That person, in An Cheng, is an unspeakable existence."

At the same time, Lu Hua said the same thing to Zhang Fanyu.

Time went back to Zhang Fanyu waking up in his dream, he rubbed his swollen head, turned his head and saw the window sill he was familiar with, the sun had already shone on the gray curtains, reflecting beautiful light marks.

The experience in the dream was so real that he was in a trance, and it was hard for him to believe that what he experienced last night was a dream.

"That girl named Xiang Ya really appeared in the dream?" He whispered.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Who will knock on his door in the morning?

Zhang Fanyu was full of doubts, got up and opened the door.

A handsome young man stood in front of the door with some trepidation.

Zhang Fanyu frowned, the more he looked, the more familiar he looked, and finally confirmed his identity after a few seconds.

"Are you the manager, Lu Hua?"

Lu Hua replied softly, yes, he seemed to be very afraid of contact with people, and he never dared to make eye contact with Zhang Fanyu.

"Come in." Zhang Fanyu's tone returned to calm, and he gave way to Lu Hua to come in.

"How did you find me here? Is it also the ability of Anchengwang?"

Lu Hua took the warm water and took a sip, with a look of satisfaction leaking from the corners of his eyes.

Sensing Zhang Fanyu's gaze, he immediately put down the water glass and opened his mouth to explain.

"It was Yan Li, the manager of Ya, who gave the privilege to let me down."

"It's Yan Li again..." Zhang Fanyu raised his eyebrows.

This name appeared together with Xiang Ya in the Shirwan Hotel murder case. Qin Sanqi mentioned it once before in Room 421. At that time, she did not expect that she had such a relationship with Xiang Ya.

It seems that Yan Li is involved with many people.

Lu Hua didn't know what the man opposite him was thinking. He continued, "Because among the new managers, I am the only one who knows the past best, so she asked me to be your manager."

"She wants you to protect Xiang Ya."

"The reason." Zhang Fanyu said coldly.

Lu Hua scratched his head, then subconsciously looked around, putting on a defensive expression.

"Ancheng.com was attacked by an unknown program, and many of the fierce dream commissions received were implanted with someone's information."

"Who is someone?"

"That person cannot be said to exist in An Cheng." Lu Hua rubbed his hands nervously.

"Eight years ago, I ranked first in the total points list of sleep testers. In the last dream experience, I was deliberately polluted by ghosts and transformed into a manager. It took 3 years to climb to the top of the manager points list."

"Gui Chi."

"He was also exiled with Yan Li."

The author has something to say:

The society is afraid that Lu Hua will return to the world nervously: Ah, I will be responsible for the explanation part again.

The author himself: Ah, I am very happy to see you drinking boiled water~

Lu Hua cried: Who made my points so low that I couldn't even buy plain water...

Yan Li: Hmph, I see you are very happy spending my points

(Hey, like to write about the main story the most, want a big boss, want a great villain, and then be defeated by a more awesome protagonist, hee hee~)

By the way, I want to ask the little cuties whether they want the third copy to be lighter or more heavy and scary, I can't make up my mind (scratching my head)
