Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

Chapter 120 Episode 8 It's time to wake up from the dream

Little Mei had a dream.

In the dream, the grown-up self was running alone in the empty city, and the flowing mercury stretched under her feet, turning into modern streets and high-rise buildings with the footprints she stepped on.

She watched as she climbed up to the [-]th floor of the building and stepped on the edge of the floor alone.

The strong wind swept up from the ground, whistling and blowing away the long silver hair on the shoulders.There was a voice shouting behind her, speaking loudly to her, but the sentences were torn apart by the strong wind, and the words that came into her ears became fragmented.

Xiao Meiyi wanted to turn her head to look at the person behind her, but in her dream, she stepped into the air and jumped down from the [-]th floor.

The wind whistled in her ears, and one, two, three figures of different heights appeared beside her one after another.

The boy calling her name, the young man in a white coat, the pregnant woman...

They wanted to hold her back, but they were smashed into pieces by the black blade that attacked the next moment.

Don't, don't!

She shook her head, trying to grab the fragments, but the fragments turned into light spots and escaped from her fingers. No matter how hard she tried, her hands were still empty.

The gloomy sky was reflected in her eyes, and the hanging crescent moon was like the mocking arc of the lips of a god.

Just when she was about to be engulfed by the engulfing darkness, a big hand stretched out, five fingers wearing black gloves inserted between her fingers, and the ten fingers interlocked, clasping her palm tightly.

A brown-haired figure loomed above her.

【Don't be afraid】

The young man's sigh-like murmur came to his ears gently and clearly.

He stretched out his arm, put his palm on the back of her head, and pressed the dream self into his arms.

The moment the body temperature sticker came, the suffocating weightlessness disappeared, and even the cold wind stopped whistling.

The girl in the dream embraced the young man, buried her face in the other's chest, and let out a reassuring sigh——

so warm...

……

"—!!"

Late at night, the silver-haired girl opened her eyes in a familiar bedroom.

She sat up from the bed, looked down at her right hand and was lost in thought.

The touch of the young man's clothes in the dream was too real, the reassuring warmth seemed to remain in the palm of his hand, Xiao Mei slowly clenched his palm.

At three o'clock in the morning, people are still in deep sleep.

The street was extremely quiet, only unknown crisp echoes came from afar from time to time, giving Xiao Mei the illusion that she was still in an empty city in a dream.

Qingling's moonlight sprinkled into the room, shining on the girl's pensive side face.

Since the birthday party, Mei has had a strange dream almost every day.

The dream kept repeating the same scene—the empty strange city, the disappearing companions, and that red-haired young man.

The most bizarre thing is him.

Sometimes it's a big ocher cat, sometimes it's human form.

"Could it be that this dream is reminding me—to raise an orange cat demon that can only change into a human?"

Zhishang Xiaomei rested her chin with her fingers, talking to herself thoughtfully.

But having said that, compared to the appearance of a young man, a big cat is better, the fluffy belly is also warm, and the tail is also...

wait wait wait!Don't make up weird things!It will become perverted!

Little Mei, who was frightened by her own weird thoughts, hugged her head in horror, and shook her head vigorously, trying to shake some thoughts out of her brain.

But having said that, I always feel like I have seen the city in my dream before...

Is the modern architectural structure similar to mercury material the technological background in the game?But several of the buildings don't look like...

The silver-haired girl thought for a moment, then suddenly got up and turned on the desk lamp, took out a pencil that was not put away, and sketched the building in her dream on the homework book.

As the girl's brushstrokes unfold, five chimney-like buildings gradually appear on the blank page.

On the front of the tallest building is a round cake-shaped Ferris wheel, and on the left back is a triangular rice ball representing Mount Fuji.

Sure enough, it looks familiar... Where did I see it?

Xiao Mei supported her cheek with one hand, poking the homework with the tip of the pencil bit by bit.

Without a clue, a voice suddenly came from the ceiling——

"This, isn't Yokohama?"

Yokohama?where?Is there a place for this in the city?

The silver-haired girl was taken aback for a moment, and was about to ask in detail, when she suddenly reacted.

wrong!Why, why is there someone talking on the ceiling!

Xiao Meiyi felt a chill down her spine, and her neck was blocked.

In an instant, some classic bridges that I have seen before flashed wildly in my mind like a revolving lantern - such as the bloody handprints printed on the ceiling, the eyeless boy walking on the beam...

Well, speaking of it this way, it seems that since just now, there has been a chilly wind blowing over my head hahahahahahaha.

A certain coward became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and his face gradually turned blue.

Just when she was about to rush out the door with a scream, a cylindrical jar was thrown from above, hitting the girl's forehead, and falling on the table with a soft "dang" sound.

"It hurts!"

This sneak attack came unexpectedly.

Xiao Mei covered her forehead reflexively, half-opened her eyes and looked tremblingly at the table. A can of coffee with the capital Black printed on it rolled past her eyes.

black coffee?Wait, the only one who would drink this bitter juice in the middle of the night at home is...

The silver-haired girl withdrew from the horror on her face, raised her head with drooping eyelids and looked up——

Sure enough, through the slanted window in the ceiling, Xiao Mei met a pair of ruby-colored pupils.

Zhishang House is a standard Japanese-style self-built house design. Xiao Mei lives in the room on the top floor. In order for her daughter to see the beautiful starry sky, Zhishang's mother specially installed a slanted window on the ceiling, leading directly to the roof.

Chishang's mother called it "the romance of the night sky".

Xiao Mei couldn't understand this weird romance, but because it was Chishang's mother who held the financial power in the family, this sloping roof window has been preserved to this day.

Then, years later, this window finally came in handy.

"Brother smelly, don't sleep and drink coffee in the middle of the night, be careful of alopecia areata."

The silver-haired girl carried her homework and climbed up to the roof along the handle of the slanted window.

The white-haired boy ignored her, and sat on the eaves by himself, looking at the distant street with his hands propped up, not knowing what he was thinking.

The other party's cozy back caused a subtle imbalance to a certain silver-haired girl who was sleepless most of the night.

While the other party wasn't paying attention, she secretly took out the empty coffee can hidden behind her back, weighed it in her hand, and pointed it at the back of a certain white-haired brother's head.

Ding--

The empty can was thrown straight at the back of Shinichiro's head, and as a matter of course, it was bounced away by the opponent's reflex ability.

The white-haired boy waved his hand without looking back.

The coffee can drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then fell into the trash can outside the street without any mistakes. The can fell to the bottom, making a very familiar clanging sound.

The corner of Xiaoyayi's mouth twitched.

It's easy to solve the case. It turns out that you are the culprit who disturbed people's lucid dreams.

"This is my line..." The white-haired boy sitting on the roof held a coffee can in his mouth, looked at the puffy little Mei, "Are you bungee jumping in a dream, you shouted the whole street I will wake you up."

Xiao Mei who really dreamed of jumping off the building: "..."

"Hey, please don't blame me, I can sleep peacefully in my dreams, and I won't even wake up the ants."

The silver-haired girl said stiffly, firmly refusing to admit it.

Shinichiro glanced at Mei Xiao from the corner of his eyes and said nothing, but the silver-haired girl saw the drawings under the piles of canned coffee at a glance.

The brushstrokes depicted above are clean and neat, and one can see at a glance the tall buildings in the painting and the spiral blades of wind power generation that can be seen everywhere. It seems that it should be a city that uses wind power as its main energy source.

wait, this is...

Xiao Meiyi stared at the drawing for a moment.

She stretched out her hand, brushed the coffee can aside, and carefully pulled out the blueprint pressed on the base cloth.

The movement of the silver-haired girl attracted the attention of the white-haired brother.

Shinichiro: "What?"

"Shh."

The girl beckoned her brother to be quiet, and when the strange city on the blueprint was fully displayed, Xiao Mei stared at the building on the blueprint for a while, and then tentatively stacked it on the homework she had sketched.

Two pictures with very different painting styles are superimposed together, which are obviously far apart in composition, but a certain building in the picture is superimposed together wonderfully.

The location is unbiased and not bad at all.

The air on the roof was suddenly quiet for a second.

Xiao Yayi raised her head, her golden pupils looked straight at her elder brother, and the other's red pupils also stared at her without blinking.

Neither of them spoke, but they had already found the answer from the sudden silence on their faces.

"I'll come first."

In the silence where a needle could be heard, the silver-haired girl spoke slowly.

"The first time I saw the phantom was when I was attacked by a killer in the alley. The phantom was a knife and a man with ochre-haired hair. Then I heard a lot of voices at the party a few days ago, people, cats, and more. There are... like intelligent AI."

When he heard the words "smart AI", the white-haired boy's heart moved, and he unconsciously raised his hand to hold the side of his neck.

There was obviously nothing there, but he had an intuition that there should be something around it, with a switch-like button attached.

"I saw a brown-haired kid."

Shinichiro picked up on Mei's words and narrated the phantoms of the past few days.

His voice sounded a little hoarse, not like that of a nine-year-old boy, but this feeling of disobedience only appeared for a moment, and soon disappeared.

Phantoms, dreams, strange cities of repeated dreams.

One person can be said to be an accident, but what about two people?

It can't be that they all have some family genetic disease, right?

Xiao Meiyi raised the corners of her mouth stiffly, but she couldn't laugh no matter what.

There are more doubts than these, for example, how did those killers appear?Why did their bodies disappear?

Now that I think about it, the time she spent entangled with Shinichiro and the killer has far exceeded the time for the two children to go home. Why don't parents have any doubts about this?

In a familiar and safe environment, human beings always subconsciously ignore many details.

But once doubts arose, those unreasonable places and illogical anomalies continued to emerge like spring water.

The mind may deceive the memory, but the emotions hidden in the blood cannot lie.

Some grotesque truth has come to the lips.

The two stopped talking, but it was rare to sit together quietly, looking at the street in the distance.

The ideal world is really beautiful, but unfortunately, whether it is her or this guy beside her, there are important people waiting for them to go back.

At the end of the dark blue night, a fish-belly white gradually appeared.

Should wake up from the dream.

Chishang Mei crossed her arms and stretched her waist towards the sky. She turned her head and said to the white-haired child beside her, "Hey, I think that compared to having an elder brother, I have a fierce one who likes to sleep in the middle of the night. The younger brother who hides on the roof drinking coffee is more suitable, what do you think?"

The white-haired child with red eyes squinted, following his gaze, the last empty coffee can suddenly flew up, and hit Mei's forehead with a thud.

"It hurts!" Mei covered her second-injured forehead.

The child's fragile body made her eyes burst into tears.

One party Accelerator remained unmoved, with a cold face the whole time: "Are you awake? When you wake up, get down to business."

Mei: "Tch."

Tomosami Mei, after failing to deceive a certain AI Xiao Ranpo, her ambition to become the eldest sister was shattered again.

Although the method of breaking the dream is still unknown, there is already a ready-made clue in front of their eyes.

The two of them turned their gazes to the overlapping drawings.

There, the Ferris wheel outlined by Mei coincided with the one drawn by Accelerator, and the coordinates pointed behind it almost handed them the three big characters "come here" in front of them.

Zhishang Mei turned on the phone, zoomed in on the map of the city where she was located, and then tapped her fingertips to circle the overlapping position of the two drawings.

The two children looked at the icons on the map, and the silver-haired girl's smile gradually became rampant, "Well, just right, tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll leave it to you..."

Yai slapped Accelerator on the shoulder, and said with a smile on her face, "Imps under the age of ten can't pass the security check. For our great future, let's go to my mother to cash in the reward, brother——"

"Be sure to act like a baby, about wanting to go to the fried chicken theme amusement park on weekends."

Accelerator's face darkened.
