Chapter 409: Preseason
On the second night of Bai Liu's coma, Tang Er stayed behind to keep watch.
Originally Fang Dian was going to stay for the night watch, she didn't mind the gender difference at all, she and Lu Yizhan took turns in Bai Liu's high school, but she had to work the next day, and at Tang Er's stiff request, Fang Dian laughed and said okay, Bai Liu will be yours.
Mu Ke went home to take care of the handover at Sunshine, Liu Jiayi was picked up, Mu Sicheng wanted to stay, but--
"Shit, I have a make-up test the next day?!" Mu Sicheng opens up the group and crashes to find the schedule of make-up exams sent to him by the counselor, "I haven't finished reviewing this subject ah fuck!"
The counselor also politely said, Mu Sicheng students, your absenteeism rate this semester also has some slightly high, if you do not want to continue to make up for the exam next semester, suggest that you play fewer games lately, and attend class properly.
Mu Sicheng clutched his head in agony and went back to his studies with a scream.
One o'clock in the morning.
Tang Er breathed a sigh of relief when the nurse came to remove Bai Liu's IV, but soon frowned at the small white scar in the center of his collarbone under Bai Liu's open neckline.
The markers have not yet faded, so this scar is not at all noticeable under the cover of the black marker, Tang Er hit also found by chance.
He frowned at the little white scar in the center of the black reverse cross - it was clearly a burn mark from the head of a freshly discharged rolling bullet that had touched his skin.
Bai Liu is not the kind of light injury will be unconscious people, are still not awake, Tang Er hit now suspect that may be Bai Liu to Bai Liu fired the first sniper shot, the bullet grazed Bai Liu's heart, leaving this scar.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Reverse God and Spades came in time to force his way out of the way, Bai Liu would have probably been directly hit by the sniper's bullets.
But the impact of even just a little graze on the soul shattering gun ...... thing is immeasurable.
...... Bai Liu, don't let anything happen.
Tang Er Rubbing his temples, one hand on the hospital bed and one on the side of the chair, Tang Er leaned wearily against the nightstand, his eyes half-squinted in shallow obscurity.
Bai Liu on the hospital bed is breathing weakly, his right hand on the quilt, the back of his hand is pierced with all the blue and purple needle holes is suddenly held by a cold, translucent hand, follow this translucent hand to look upward, translucent Spades face without any expression stood at the head of the bed, his eyes do not move a bit to look at Bai Liu.
The fingers of Bai Liu's right hand moved very slightly.
But Tang Er, who was on guard and not sleeping at all, didn't seem to notice this sudden appearance of this ghostly Spades, and he didn't open his eyes.
Opening his eyes is Bai Liu in his hospital bed, his eyelids drooping as he looks back at Spades, his fingers curled up as if he's trying to return the grip, but the clenched fingers pass through Spades' translucent palm and can only catch the vapors.
Spades bowed down, his head resting against Bai Liu's heart where the reverse cross had been, rubbing from side to side before closing his eyes in contentment.
Bai Liu heard Spades say to himself, "Is this what Bai Yi meant by human dreaming?"
"So this is what dreaming is like, so you can dream about Bai Liu ......"
Spades closed his eyes:
"Then I want to keep dreaming."
Spades' body emits a faint fluorescent glow, then as his eyelids close and go out, his ghostly body encircling Bai Liu becomes more and more transparent, almost disappearing into thin air.
"No." Bai Liu replied to Spades in a breathy, hoarse whisper, tears slipping from the corners of his eyes, but his demeanor remained calm, "I hate it when people sleep in front of me all the time."
"So wake up and meet me, Spades."
Spades opened his dark eyes, he looked at Bai Liu and said seriously, "Good."
His transparent body solidifies for a moment, and a cold, windy vortex swirls around Spades' body in the hospital room. Tang Er strikes with a start, and as the vortex of wind drifts away, the ghost of Spades disappears in the center of the vortex.
Tang Er hit the gun raised alertly looked around, and finally the line of sight jerked, and then expression blankly looked to the hospital bed at some time already sat up Bai Liu.
Bai Liu, his face still a bit weak, smiled as he looked over at Tang Er and fought, "Good evening, Captain Tang."
Tang Er hit slowly lowered the gun in his hand, he let out a long breath and smiled, "Not a good night, you woke up really late. "
"Is that so?" Bai Liu swept the rest of his eyes to where the just translucent Spades stood beside his bed, and suddenly let out a soft laugh, "Maybe it's because I just had a bit of a time-consuming beautiful dream."
Killer Sequence Warehouse.
Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu, who were poking the frozen Spades one by one, seemed to realize something.
Bai Jiamu squinted at Bai Yi: "Didn't Liao Ke tell us never to let anyone near Spades?"
"Right." Bai Yi boredly poked at the slush on Spades shoulder, "How are we going to stop people from getting close if we don't guard?"
Bai Jiamu, veins popping out on his forehead, took a deep breath, "I mean, aren't we human? Shouldn't we distance ourselves from Spades too?"
Bai Yi stopped moving out of realization, "Right!"
But the next moment they knew it was too late.
Spades' body emits an intense cold aura, and frost blows wildly from his body in the form of a storm in all directions, Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu are blown straight up into the air, pulling themselves against the warehouse door to avoid being blown against the wall.
Bai Yi's mouth was directly blown into a shaking, wavy pocket opening by the incoming hurricane wind, and he was still emitting a trilling voice: "F*ck~ So~ Cold~ Ah~!"
Bai Jiamu grits his teeth and sidles up against the wall, squinting to block the blowing frost with one hand as he looks over to the slowly rising Spades standing in the center of the blizzard.
He could hear the crisp rattle of Spades' ice shell clearly cracking and falling to the ground.
By the time Bai Yi felt his face drifting a dozen degrees before freezing on, the wind finally stopped, and he violently shook off his ice-covered face and blown features before looking curiously at Spades, who stood in the center.
Bai Jiamu patted the crushed ice on his shoulder and pulled Bai Yi, who was about to head that way, and called out warily to Spades, who had his back to them : "Spades?"
Spades turned around with a normal expression and spoke, "Bai Yi, I just had a dream."
Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu are both baffled, one by this jump start to the conversation, and one by--
"-- Spades you actually dreamed?!" Bai Yi was shocked, "How can you, a lizard, dream?!"
Bai Jiamu rolled his eyes breathlessly.
Sometimes Bai Jiamu wonders if Bai Yi really has the basic intelligence of an adult.
--In the entire Slayer sequence, the only person who honestly believes that Spades is really a lizard is Bai Yi.
But Bai Jiamu did feel a little strange about Spades' dreaming, because he vaguely sensed that Spades' identity was special, and that unlike human-formed players like them, Spades was more akin to a monster-formed player, with no background, no origin, no place to come from, and no way to land in reality.
Spades has been playing games with them for two years, and for a while he slept with his eyes wide open, Bai Jiamu sometimes woke up in the middle of the night and saw Spades next to him with his eyes wide open staring at a certain place, he would be scared to death, thinking that some kind of monster was attacking him.
It was only later that I realized this guy couldn't actually sleep with his eyes closed!
Bai Jiamu was really shocked at that time.
It took Spades a long time to learn how to sleep with his eyes closed, but every now and then he would fall asleep with his eyelids open, staring straight at a certain place, which was really creepy, and then Spades learned to sleep face down, so it didn't matter if his eyelids were open or not.
For such a guy who needed to learn to sleep, it was natural that he was completely incapable of more advanced activities like [Dreaming].
Once they didn't know what kind of game they were playing, and the monsters were dream-related, and a few of them all logged into the dream world and were chased half to death by the monsters, and then Spades didn't know how to dream, and couldn't log in, so he could only stand by earnestly guarding their bodies that were revealing all kinds of grimaces while they were being chased by the monsters in their dreams.
In the end, Spades came to the conclusion that people are ugly when they dream.
So when Spades says he had a dream, Bai Jiamu and Bai Yi's first reaction is disbelief.
Bai Yi first inquired about Spades' physical condition, and after determining that there was nothing serious, his eyes narrowed, and as the human with the ugliest dreaming gesture evaluated by Spades, he was the first to strike sharply, "Dreaming is difficult, it is a human's higher level of consciousness, and for a lizard like you to want to dream, you're really dreaming! "
Speaking of this, Bai Yi let out a laugh, "Let's start with what you dreamed of."
Spades recalls, "I dreamed that Bai Liu was lying in front of me in very loose clothes with the neckline open, then I held his hand and he held mine, and I was lying on top of him, and he hugged me and smiled at me, and then I buried my head in his shoulder ...... "
Bai Yi calmly interrupts Spades' narration, "That's fine, you should be dreaming this one, we have minors here, you pause."
