After confirming that there were no mutant creatures in the hospital, Xiang Kun quietly left the hospital, took the electric car back, put away the empty food box, and prepared to go home.

But before riding the electric bike, he sensed the pair of chopsticks given to Lao Xia, and he didn't expect to directly perceive the dream.

Lao Xia, this is just after eating supper, she went to the duty room and went to sleep after closing the door?

I don’t know if I still hiccup after falling asleep...

Although Xiangkun’s current brain processing ability, even if he perceives Lao Xia’s dream while riding an electric bike, there is no problem at all, but he has a lot of expectations for Lao Xia’s dream tonight, so he still needs to be more focused on perception. .

So Xiang Kun pushed the electric car to the side of the road, leaned on the electric car, looked down at the phone, and made the appearance of waiting for someone to swipe the phone.

...

Perceiving Lao Xia's dream again, she didn't see the enclosed room that Xiang Kun was looking forward to seeing, but walked down the aisle of a restaurant.

Through Lao Xia's perspective in her dreams, Xiang Kun discovered that she was very short, and the arm held by the adult next to her was also very small. Obviously when she was still young, she might not have gone to elementary school.

Holding her hand is a young lady with a bit of expensive clothes and a bit of bookishness. On the other side of her, there is a woman with glasses who also looks like a scholar and a technical person. Young man, Xiang Kun guessed that these two might be Lao Xia's parents.

It seems that when Lao Xia was a child, her parents took her to dinner?

In the front, the waiter in the uniform of the restaurant who took the two of them to the place was unexpectedly short, and even shorter than the current Xiao Lao Xia from sight.

Although only the back can be seen, but from this back and the feeling of emotion injected into the projection, Xiang Kun also knows that the little girl in front of the COS restaurant waiter is Liu Shiling—or rather, the emotion injected into the chopsticks. The projection in the dream.

After sitting down at the table, the food was served soon. The speed of the food was obviously because in the dream, it was incredibly fast.Moreover, "Waiter Liu Shiling" seemed to be teleporting. After two dishes were served, two more dishes were served in the next second.

But most of the dishes on the table look a little vague, and I can’t see clearly, I can only vaguely judge what kind of dish it is. Only one of the dishes closest to Lao Xia can be seen clearly by Xiang Kun. Crispy pork knuckle.

"Come on, Xiaobing, try this'Golden Pork Knuckle'. It's the shop's signature. It's delicious..." The bookish lady took a piece of crispy pork knuckle and placed it in the bowl in front of Lao Xia. But before she finished her words, Lao Xia didn't use utensils, and grabbed the pork knuckle with her hands and ate it.

In the dream, Lao Xia's emotions were very strong, it was obvious hunger and possessive desire for food.

"Slow down, Xiaobing, take some soup..."

"Taste something else."

"Eat slowly, there are more."

Both suspected Lao Xia's parents were persuading, but after Lao Xia finished eating the crispy pork knuckle in her hand, she got up and stretched out his hand to take a piece by herself, and continued to eat.

It is conceivable that the food is not very elegant, or even a little crazy, just like the last time I ate the toast in the closed small room in my dream.

The voices of the two adults next to him gradually became a little fuzzy, and Lao Xia's attention was focused on food in the dream.

Just when Xiang Kun wondered why Lao Xia had such a strong feeling for food, all emotions disappeared like a low tide, replaced by calmness and rationality.

At the next moment, Xiang Kun found that Lao Xia's eyes began to rise, she stood up, and she got higher and higher, which was obviously higher than the height at which her kid stood up just now, and she did not stand on the chair either.

Then, wherever his eyes were swept, all kinds of originally vague details began to become clear, but the two young men and women sitting on the left and right became much older, like 50 or 60 years old, but their clothes became It is more modern and fashionable, and the look they look at Lao Xia is still very gentle.

Xiang Kun knew that Lao Xia had "woke up" in her dream as expected.

And as soon as she "waked up", she immediately became an adult, and the two people who were suspected of her parents also became old, which should correspond to her real-time memory in reality.

Of course, the "Waiter Liu Shiling" not far from the table, like the last dream, became what she had in mind.

Xiang Kun's spirit was lifted and his attention was highly concentrated. He wanted to see what plans Lao Xia would have in her lucid dream this time after the last experience.

Hope this time after she "wakes up", the dream will last a little longer.

Lao Xia looked down at the half of crispy pork knuckle in her bowl. The next moment, the half-eaten crispy pork knuckle suddenly recovered.

Or in other words, it was not the one she took off the dining table before, because it was obviously different from the appearance and size.

Lao Xia sat down, still using no utensils, reached out and picked up the crispy pork knuckle, opened her mouth wide, and took a bite slowly.

After the meat entered the mouth, there was no feeling for the first moment, neither the taste nor the taste, as if taking a bite of air.But soon, the taste and taste appeared quickly.

And this taste and taste are completely different from the time when Xiao Lao Xia ate the crispy pork knuckle in the dream before, and the details should be more rich and specific.

This taste...this taste...and this appearance. Xiang Kun soon realized that the "true crispy pork knuckle" that Lao Xia had "waked up" in her dream was made by him.

It seems that Lao Xia likes the dish "crispy pork knuckle" so much, and it should be related to her eating it in a special state when she was a child.But now for her, it is obvious that the specific taste and related memories of this dish come from the "crispy pork knuckle" made by Xiang Kun.

And when he started to chew the pork knuckle, his original calm and rational state changed again, and there was a little bit of satisfaction and enjoyment when eating, which was different from the "crazy eating" feeling in the previous dream.

Lao Xia quickly got rid of the "crispy pork knuckle", and then satisfactorily picked up the tissue next to her and wiped her mouth.

The next moment, she flipped her left hand, and three coins lay on the palm of her hand.

As soon as he saw the three coins, Xiang Kun immediately felt that he had a vague connection with them.He immediately discovered that the three coins in the dream were not simply Lao Xia's imagination based on her memory. They seemed to have a real relationship with the three coins that he gave Lao Xia to establish a "super-sensual connection." Associated.

In her dream, Lao Xia held three coins in her hand, constantly rubbing them to make them collide with each other, and then wandered around in the restaurant.

She observed the environment in the restaurant, just like last time, where she looked at, and started to fill in the details according to her memory.

Xiang Kun was a little worried that the dream would soon disintegrate as last time, and Lao Xia woke up.

But what I didn't expect was that after strolling around in the restaurant, Lao Xia returned to the table and sat down. This dream still existed. Although she remained "awake", she still did not wake up.

Next, all kinds of Chinese dishes on the table disappeared, and then a Napoleon cake appeared.

This Napoleon cake is not big, only for one person.

Lao Xia stared at the piece of cake for a while, and then the cake slowly grew bigger as if being blown, and soon it was as big as a main computer box.

The next moment, the cake changed back again and returned to its original size.

Then the cake began to deform and became a rabbit, and then it continued to change, becoming a goose.

Looking at the cake that was changing big and small, Xiang Kunxin felt that the three coins in Lao Xia's hand were missing, and the cake replaced the three coins and established a certain connection with him.

Xiang Kun realized that Lao Xia didn't know what method to use to visualize the projection of three coins in her dream. This projection was probably related to their "super-sensual connection" in reality, and thus connected to Xiang Kun.

That cake is the three coins.

Lao Xia is like Liu Shiling and Little Apple, applying for "invoking" his abilities through Xiang Kun's "super-sense connection" items-and still in the dreamland guided by "emotional injection" items!

The change is not just the cake. Xiang Kun quickly discovered that his perception angle is no longer limited to Lao Xia's subjective perspective, but now he can switch to the perspective of the emotional projection "Waiter Liu Shiling" in the dream.

He immediately thought of the dream made by Liu Shiling, a little fat girl, on the way back to the jasper. Although he felt it through the "emotional injection of objects", it was a dream of halfway intervention. In that dream, his The perspective is the "chopsticks" used as magic wand in Liu Shiling's hands.

This means that Liu Shiling's dream at that time, and Lao Xia's dream now, the foundation established is no longer just "emotional injection of objects" into Kun, so it is no longer necessary to maintain the fit between him and the owner of the dream.

As for the basis for the maintenance of dreams now?Xiang Kun also had a guess, and there was a high probability that those three coins, or the three coins' ability to "call" from him through the "super-sense connection".

Next, Xiang Kun saw Lao Xia in her dream, constantly changing the shape and size of the "Napoleon cake". Later, she even turned it into a large piece of crispy pork knuckle, and then made the pork knuckle. The flesh continues to change shape...but it's more crippled.

Can you imagine a laptop made of crispy fried pork skin and pork except for the screen. It looks like it can be used or eaten directly, and it still emits a fragrance?

Is this cyberpunk or Cthulhu style?

When Xiang Kun was a little bit dumbfounded by Lao Xia's dream imagination, Lao Xia's "lucid dream", which was obviously much longer than last time, also ended.

...

In the duty room, Xia Libing suddenly sat up from the hard bed.

She looked at her left hand for the first time, loosened the fist that was clenched even in the dream, and lay three stacked one-yuan coins in her hand.

She recalled the situation in her dream, then clenched her left hand again and closed her eyes.

As time passed, the duty room was very quiet, and only the sound of the second hand on the wall could be heard moving.

When she opened her eyes again and looked at the right hand that did not hold the coin, her right hand, which was empty, was actually holding a small piece of Napoleon cake!

But she only blinked once, and the cake "missed" and disappeared without a trace, as if it hadn't appeared just now, but she was dazzled.

But she knew that she was not dazzled.

She raised her right hand and sniffed it at the end of her nose. There was no smell left by the Napoleon cake. After licking it, there was no remaining smell of the cake.

Xia Libing rubbed the three coins with her left hand, sat on the bed and kept thinking. After a while, she looked back at the small wooden box with chopsticks on the head of the bed, as if she had realized something, then put on her shoes and got out of bed. .

Xia Libing walked to the table with a coin in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, staring at a medical reference material on the table. After ten seconds, a small piece of Napoleon cake suddenly appeared on the reference material.

There was no change in Xia Libing's expression. He quickly picked up the phone with his right hand, turned on the camera, and pressed the video recording button.

But before she pressed it, the quick cake disappeared, as if it appeared out of thin air, there was no trace at all, as if it had been "edited" off.

Xia Libing reopened the video recording function of the mobile phone, adjusted the angle, put it on a corner of the desk with a few books, and then looked at it within the recording range, trying to "make" the Napoleon cake again.

But she tried for a few minutes, and on the winter night when it was only 4 or 5 degrees Celsius, after sweating on her forehead, she still couldn't make the cake reappear.

Not discouraged, Xia Libing picked up the phone and turned off the video recording function.

Then he continued to stare at the table, a few seconds later, the Napoleon cake appeared again.

Xia Libing nodded thoughtfully. She reached out and picked up the cake on the table. The cake had a substantial touch, but compared to the real Napoleon cake, it seemed to be a little "fantastical" in hand, and the weight seemed inaccurate.

She took the cake carefully to her mouth and smelled the sweet cream, then slowly opened her mouth and bit it down...

But the moment she bit it, the cake disappeared.

Xia Libing seemed to have expected this scene. Not surprisingly, she continued to rub the coin in her left hand and glanced at the clock on the wall.

Well, it's almost time for a routine round at night.

She took her mobile phone, put on her coat, and then put on a white coat, went out of the duty room and went downstairs.

Seeing Xia Libing at the door of the duty room, the two female nurses downstairs were a bit strange. Their rounds at a fixed o'clock in the middle of the night were carried out by the nurses. If there is a situation, the doctor on duty will be notified.

"I can't sleep, come and round up with you." Xia Libing explained briefly.

So the three of them checked the ward in their ward together, determined the rest of the patients, and then returned to the duty room.

"Are you hungry? My friend sent me some supper before, and there are some, do you want to eat?" Xia Libing said suddenly before leaving.

The two female nurses were a little surprised, and even felt a little flattered.You should know that when Xia Libing first arrived at their hospital, she was extremely popular. Not only was she tall and beautiful, but she was also said to be relatives with the leaders of the hospital. Whether he was of the same sex or the opposite sex, he wanted to have a good relationship with her. Inviting her to dinner, but basically received polite but simple and resolute rejection. Dr. Xia always feels indifferent and rejecting people thousands of miles away. Gradually, everyone even inexplicably feels awe of her.

Taking the initiative to invite people to eat, this is the first time Xia Libing has been to the Third Hospital for a few months!

So the two of them pushed half-situ and Xia Libing upstairs, went to the duty room where she was, and used the microwave oven over there to heat up the supper that Xiang Kun had brought before.

When one of the nurses was carrying the hot dishes and was preparing to put them on the desk in the duty room, they suddenly found that a piece of cake that looked very high-end appeared on the table, and it was not packaged or placed in a plate. On the table.

"Hey? I didn't seem to have this piece of cake just now?" the nurse said in surprise.

At this time, another nurse who also took the hot food and turned and walked over subconsciously said, "What cake?"

"It's not right at the table..." The nurse at the beginning looked at the empty left side for a second, then reached out and touched the place where she just saw the cake, and said in doubt: "Weird... It's clearly there, why blink of an eye? It's gone..."

Behind her, Xia Libing came over with a disposable table and chopsticks, her expression unchanged: "Do you want to eat cake?"

"Oh, no, no, I just got dazzled." The nurse who saw the "cake" smiled and shook her head. She thought she should be dazzled, just like the sound of rolling balls she heard earlier. Too tired to work night shifts during this period?

Although Xiang Kun’s dishes are adjusted to the taste of Xia Libing, they are based on "deliciousness". Even if they are heated again, they still taste good.

Both nurses couldn't help but praise, thinking that Dr. Xia's friend should have bought it from the restaurant.

Almost eating, a nurse wanted to take the phone on the table to check the time, still holding the disposable chopsticks in her right hand, so she lifted the left hand that was originally on her thigh.

But as soon as she raised her hand, she suddenly realized that since she "holds" a piece of pork knuckle that was fried into crispy and golden skin!

She was taken aback and shook her left hand subconsciously, but nothing fell from her hand.

Her weird movements also attracted the attention of another nurse and Xia Libing: "What's wrong?"

She took a close look at her left hand by the light in the room, and it was clean and there was no strange thing on it, and she looked down at the ground again, there was also no foreign matter.

"It's nothing, I just seemed... as if I saw a piece of meat in my hand...?" She said uncertainly, "It seems to be dazzled."

"What kind of meat?" Xia Libing asked calmly.

"Uh, nothing, I should have read it wrong." She shook her head.

Another nurse said in surprise: "No, you have hallucinations too? I just saw a piece of cake, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"I seem to see... pork knuckle? Well, it seems to be fried or grilled."

"Our building is a little weird at night, Doctor Xia, have you heard the sound of rolling beads before?"

Xia Libing said: "The sound of the rolling beads should be the expansion and contraction of the reinforced concrete." Then she asked the nurse who saw the pig's feet: "You said you hold it, there is a feeling in your hand. ?"

"Hands? It seems...no. No. No, it seems to have, like cotton...Uh, maybe not, I'm not sure." The nurse frowned and recalled.

"My duty room has some problems with the lighting. Have you noticed that because of the location of the cabinet, most of the room is covered by the shadow of the cabinet, causing a visual disturbance." Xia Libing said. The nurse who saw the cake said, "Sister Lu, when you just heated up the food, you should have been staring at the position of the microwave oven? Then suddenly turned your gaze and landed on the table with the afterimages of the past. Being affected by ambient light and shadow can make you think you have seen something, such as a cake."

She said to the nurse who saw the "pig's feet" again: "Sister Chen, where you are sitting, half of it is in the shadow of the cabinet. Do you quickly raise your hand to try? Didn’t find it, when your hand was raised After you pass the waist, you will enter the shadows. If you lift up quickly, you will feel as if you are holding something in your hand due to the effect of the contrast between light and dark. And because I just mentioned to you that my friend makes crispy pigs The elbow is delicious, so you are affected and imagined the appearance of'crispy pork knuckle'. Recall that what you saw was'crispy pork knuckle'?"

Xia Libing's voice was gentle, speaking slowly, and it sounded extremely convincing, which made people feel convincing involuntarily.

Nurse Chen nodded subconsciously: "Indeed, I seem to see a piece of pork knuckle with crispy skin."

The two nurses who had received the explanation relaxed slightly. After eating, they helped Xia Libing to clean up briefly, and then went downstairs to his duty room.

But in the corridor downstairs, Nurse Lu couldn't help but said to her companion: "I always think...tonight is a bit weird."

Nurse Chen also felt a chill inexplicably. She looked back at the wards where the concierge was closed, lifted the collar, and whispered: "Don't scare yourself, this is a big Chinese New Year."

Upstairs, the duty room with the door closed.

Xia Libing sits at the table with his elbows on the table, holding three coins in his left hand, holding his left fist in his right hand, supporting his chin with both hands together, looking at a piece of Napoleon cake on the table, thinking Information obtained.

Before her eyes, the cake disappeared after a few seconds and turned into a crispy pork knuckle, then disappeared again after a second and turned into a cake.

After going back and forth several times in this way, Xia Libing suddenly fell forward, lying on the table with her face, and fainted.
