The switching process back to reality is smoother than before.

To be precise, it's like adding a slow-motion transition animation between pages. No discomfort at all.

The translucent text box is becoming more and more like the perspective mode of VR glasses. It seems to be able to understand Su Ming's meaning and know whether he wants to see the real person or read the text more carefully.

A sweet scent lingers.

"..."

It was somewhat similar to the dream. An Shiyao also put her thighs on Su Ming's belly, but it was much more excessive than An Xiaoxi in the dream... She didn't care where she touched, and even teased him intentionally or unintentionally.

It's really the same underwear.

I just saw it in my dream, and when I saw An Shiyao's again... Both the lace and the front buttoning design are the same.

Maybe the two sisters really bought it together?
"Well."

That doesn't matter.

Su Ming first carefully removed his hand from An Shiyao's baby canteen and went to the bathroom.

His purpose is simple.

First, I don’t plan to tell Xia Ye about this.

Once she knew that she had entered the dream world again, it would not be a good idea for her to trace the cause. She was confident that nothing would happen. It was not a lie.

With this premise.

All Su Ming needs to do is the second point.

Is the person in the nightmare world An Xiaoxi?

Whether it's An Shiyao, Xia Ye or Miao Xue'er, they are all people who truly live in the past, and Su Ming has almost understood it now. He is an alternative time traveler player.

The past is the past.

This time it’s the future.

"beep……"

Only ten minutes.

Su Ming would not simply rely on the phone for everything. He checked the map of Dong City while dialing.

No matter how long ordinary people live in the same place, they will not pay attention to where the power plant is or where the equipment is available unless they have special needs. At most, they know some supermarkets and entertainment areas. Ten out of ten people may not be able to tell where the shelter is after a disaster. Fire drills are mostly just for show to deal with inspections.

I hope the map of 2024 will not be too different from that of 2067.

[Sorry, no one is answering the call you dialed]

【…】

It's early morning.

It's normal that no one answers the call.

Second time.

The third time.

【…】

No way?
Could it be that An Xiaoxi really went to 2067?
Or does it mean that the consciousness goes there and the body remains in 2024?
I called twice more, but still no one answered. If I had to think of a solution, I could call Xia Ye right now... and have her monitor the call.

But that would be putting the cart before the horse.

[After 00.02.19, 'Yes' is selected by default and the final upload operation is performed]

"Buzz."

Just when Su Ming was about to confirm the locations of some material factories and return, he received a call back.

"……Hey?"

But it wasn't An Xiaoxi's voice. It was a girl's.

"Xiao Xi...seems to have gone to the bathroom just now."

"Me? I'm her friend."

"Ah... So you're Xiaoxi's brother-in-law? What's the matter so late?"

"..."

"Huh? She just went to the bathroom."

"We are planning to travel to Xiling. We are on the train now. Didn't Xiaoxi tell you?"

"..."

Su Ming couldn't be sure whether An Xiaoxi had any problems.

But the confession matched.

She was indeed planning to travel and was already on the train.

Is there a problem that has been overlooked?

It seemed that I had never hugged anyone like I was doing now. There were people around me, and there might be interference factors entering the game.

If the consciousness is immersed in 2067... the time difference is huge, and no one will notice the abnormality in a short time. An Shiyao will not do anything harmful to herself.

What if I had to ask An Xiaoxi's friends to wake her up now, and if she was really in the bathroom...

[After 00.01.07, 'Yes' is selected by default and the final upload operation is performed]

Get back into bed.

"No more...don't drink anymore."

You can touch An Shiyao’s as you like.

Not in dreams.

An Shiyao is now his legitimate wife.

An Xiaoxi is her blood-related sister and also her sister-in-law.

Can't do anything risky.

The Dreaming Game has never let me down. The version upgrade... maybe there will be some changes, but they won't be bad changes.

Ten minutes was too little time. Su Ming only roughly confirmed the locations of the more crowded areas in the factory, as well as several common underground shelters and air-raid shelters stipulated by the Snow Country.

Stare at the ceiling.

"call."

Su Ming took a deep breath.

ok.

No matter what, continue with the mission. We will talk about the details after we finish all the tasks in the "nightmare".

'no'.

Feel the warmth of An Shiyao Baby Canteen.

Su Ming unconsciously thought of another thing.

Physiology and psychology are two different things. Just like me now, if I keep staring at the things on the 43999 website, I will also have the same reaction.

If An Shiyao is the sister-in-law, sleeping together now, maintaining the current posture and movements... can you stay stable?
[Entering the dream world again]

The view was completely dark.

The blurry scene in front of me shrank into a dot, then slowly expanded, switching very smoothly.

-

the other side.

Snow Country Western Railway Line.

High-speed train carriage.

An Xiaoxi's best friend couldn't fall asleep after being woken up by the phone call, and kept waiting for An Xiaoxi to come back.

"..."

"so slow."

But after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no reply.

"Xiao Xi?"

She couldn't help it, so she went to the bathroom at the back of the train and knocked on the door. The door lock was red, which meant someone was using the bathroom.

"..."

"Xiao Xi? Are you in there?"

"..."

I called out several times but there was no response.

"Who is it? Don't you see anyone?"

Just as she was about to call for help, the person inside came out with an impatient look on her face. It was an aunt she didn't know.

"Eh? Ah... sorry. I thought it was my friend."

"..."

not there?

Did you go to the restroom in another carriage?

The best friend was a little puzzled, but she could only go back and wait in disappointment.

-

[You have entered the 'nightmare' world]

[Currently given bonus: Philosophical Blade. Publisher's note: If you like reading Nietzsche, this is suitable for you, talk to it more (provided by Star Dream Co., Ltd.)]

[Current mission: Survive 49 days with An Xiaoxi and survive the Heng season]

[New function favorability bar, note, this function is only used as an auxiliary prop for players. 】

I have to say it.

There is really no difference between reality and the 'nightmare' world except for the bed.

An Xiaoxi smells good too.

I didn't notice it before, but now Su Ming has just come back from reality. The faint fragrance is familiar to Su Ming.

perfume.

Is it similar to An Shiyao's scent, maybe a little stronger?
An Xiaoxi is a little shorter. But An Shiyao is 168cm tall and An Xiaoxi is around 163cm tall, which is considered normal for women in Snow Country, right?
"..."

swear.

It was definitely not her own hand that was placed on her drum. After all, her hand was covering it.

To pinch, or not to pinch?

"..."

Huh. Su Ming carefully recalled the topographic map he had just seen. Then he looked at the snow outside the carriage, which seemed to be getting smaller.

Pull your hand out.

Perhaps because the warmth on the drum disappeared, she instinctively twisted slightly. For some reason, a strand of her hair was pressed by Su Ming's face, just at the corner of her mouth.

Too close.

I really don’t want to think too much.

But there is a very critical issue that greatly affects Su Ming's thinking.

That is an auxiliary function that must be available after entering the dream game for the second time.

【Character: An Xiaoxi】

【Favourability: 92】

[Description: I have a high degree of trust in you and like you]

Can it be considered as love brought about by the kindness towards my brother-in-law?

There is no other ambiguity. Even if the value is very high, it is only because the past experience is very unique and they have shared hardships...so the favorability is higher than that of the general sister-in-law and brother-in-law, right?
Rational analysis.

An Xiaoxi's thinking must be more eccentric than that of ordinary people. After all, she once lived in Haidao City for a period of time.

But let’s talk about feelings.

It is definitely impossible to have the same strong and subjective love as An Shiyao.

By the way, should Yao's favorability be within the normal 100 or over 100?

There doesn't seem to be any difference.

Although there is a chance that your emotions may become unstable if the number exceeds 100, it will be fine as long as you understand what An Shiyao needs.

Forget it.

The favorability value of 92 and liking are just general liking. It means that she, like An Shiyao, completely believes her own words, and uses her own judgment to believe that she is the brother-in-law six years ago.

This shouldn't be misinterpreted, and it shouldn't be used to make fun of her relationship.

task.

Survive 49 days?
Spend the constant season?

From the literal meaning, it seems that this is a relatively stable period in 2067. After the Hengji... could there be another chaotic era similar to the Three-Body Problem?
Not impossible.

After all, at first I felt that the sun could easily burn people to death. Now it can freeze people to death.

Tasks are of time length.

Then he really had to rely on the terrain he remembered in reality to explore. He had to find the information he wanted... about his son who worked in his company in 2067 and whom he had never even met. And his three wives.

The sky gradually turned pale.

The howling of the wind and snow outside gradually calmed down. There was hardly any sound of something scraping against the roof of the carriage or any moving metal objects making any noise.

With the light, the temperature also rose, but Su Ming was not sure to what extent.

Su Ming got up first and put on his coat. He took a ticket to clean the stain and drew a simple direction map on it.

"..."

It is one thing that time is tight and I can't be more detailed.

How much the map of the future changes from the past is another matter.

But with so many material factories, there should be something useful, right? If something big happened, there might be people in those shelters. I just don't know how serious the incident was.

"We have to go south first."

“…You can also go and have a look at the water plant.”

"..."

If the Dong City Government Building is still in its original location, why not go and have a look? Maybe you can get some useful information.

"Brother-in-law."

"Ok?"

Glancing sideways, An Xiaoxi had already sat up.

She pursed her lips, and only covered her body with clothes, with her smooth shoulders partially exposed.

She seemed not to have woken up yet.

"You can sleep a little longer. I'll find something nearby and call you back."

"I don't like to stay in bed. I just need to calm down for a while..."

"..."

"Suck……"

"?"

I saw her holding one side of her nose and taking a deep breath.

"It's so cold..."

"..."

This was the method that Su Ming gave An Shiyao to wake up.

"Hehe, this is my sister's way of telling me not to stay in bed. It will wake me up immediately."

"I told her."

"Eh? My brother-in-law gave it to me? Who cares? It's useful anyway."

"..."

"It's still cold, but it seems to be much better than yesterday, right?"

"The temperatures are definitely going up. If we can keep going this way, we'll be much better off."

"..."

"Screw rustle..."

She has the skill of dressing blindly. Even if she is hiding under the quilt, she can put on her clothes quickly.

But there's a problem.

Did she wear leggings yesterday?
"Put this on inside, and then put on your pants, and you won't feel cold at all."

"You... also got a manicure?"

"Yes, at that time my sister said she wanted to get a manicure, and I thought it was interesting so I went with her. But I'm not as diligent as my sister in maintaining it, and now it's not as good-looking as it was at the beginning."

"..."

The color she applied was not bright red like An Shiyao's, but a light pink.

"She's definitely not as pretty as my sister, right? Sometimes I really envy her, really... She has a great figure, she's so pretty, and she has long legs. The key is that she's still very gentle."

"..."

She dressed quickly.

The legs that were wrapped in flesh-colored leggings just now were covered with bulky outer pants in half a minute. Then, when the large boots were stuffed into them, they looked warm.

“Brother-in-law, are you drawing a route map?”

"Can I give advice?"

"..."

"Haha, the most I can do is give people advice to go to higher places. I'm not a survival expert."

"Very hungry."

"I'll boil some water. Is this how you pull the trigger to start the fire?"

"..."

"Listening to music is good for your health. I might be a diva in the future. Every second my brother-in-law listens to music is a bonus."

"..."

She is really energetic.

He is very ordinary. He does what he can and doesn't interfere with what Su Ming does.

The song she hums is very strange.

What is a man who plays rock, now it is natural to play scissors to deceive people. I don't understand... It's a fresh and lively melody. Su Ming rarely listens to this type of music.

“Is this also original?”

"correct."

"what is it call?"

"……rock-paper-scissors?"

"Just thought of that, right?"

"I just wrote the lyrics casually. Do you think they sound good, brother-in-law?"

"It's pretty good. I think it will become a regular song in KTV if it becomes popular."

"Brother-in-law, don't flatter me so much. I would be shy too."

She didn't ask what to do.

I didn't ask when I could go back.

I want to say, don't you worry about whether you will still be on the train in 2024? Even if you say it's your "dream", can you really be so carefree?
But there seemed no need to force questions on her that she could not solve for the time being.

Su Ming took the warm water handed to him by An Xiaoxi and drank it all in one gulp.

"..."

Remove the obstacles blocking the door of the carriage. It is still snowing, but it is much better than yesterday. At least when standing outside, the air you exhale will not feel frozen at the corners of your mouth.

"The weather is fine. Our mission today is to collect as many useful things as possible from the surrounding area. Select those that can be taken away."

"So, you want to leave here?"

"Correct."

"Of course. As long as I don't have to use my brain like my brother-in-law and sister, I can do anything."

An Xiaoxi doesn't seem like the kind of person who would hide his thoughts.

Unlike her sister... can you think like this? That bright smile is indeed the best mission target so far.

"..."

An Xiaoxi walked in front excitedly, carrying a worn-out empty bag. His originally bright expression dimmed after he turned his back to Su Ming.

It's no use.

Even if I muster up the courage to let my brother-in-law put his hand there, he won't be touched. He won't be treated the same way as before when he was mistaken...

Really.

Even in such a 'dream', are you willing to be a younger sister?
If I can't suppress that thought...will I be hated?
I don't want to use the realistic thinking mode to dialectically analyze it.

irritating.

Why was I like this? I deliberately seduced my brother-in-law... I was a complete bitch.

But because it is in a 'dream', can the crime be forgiven?
