Chapter 25 : You're Dreaming
A night passed.
Ye Lan did not find Kong Yubai and Shu Yao, nor even Mo Tu.
Seeing that the time to wake from the dream was approaching, she could only return to the Night Watchers' headquarters to obtain the collected information from the Leader.
Compared to the previous time, Ye Lan found that the data collected by the Night Watchers this time was clearly much less, likely having reached saturation.
However, this information did not have any decisive role, only helping them explore this dream.
To obtain information about the Star Eclipse's true form, more in-depth research would be needed.
As the sound of a flute echoed through the air.
The moment of awakening had arrived.
Everyone in the dream fell into slumber, with only Ye Lan remaining awake, finally witnessing the entire dream disintegrating.
In that instant of darkness, Ye Lan vaguely saw two figures, the two Star Eclipses she had seen upon first entering.
Perhaps at the moment of awakening, they also lost their qualification to remain in such a dream, only appearing in the dreams woven by everyone.
But after the dream shattered?
Where would they go?
If they could only exist in dreams, unable to appear in reality, it suddenly became somewhat contradictory.
Of course, these were just Ye Lan's momentary speculations. No one could be certain what secrets they held.
Ye Lan would not proactively contact them either.
That was how it was.
Back to reality.
"Hmm."
Ye Lan opened her eyes, looking at the already bright sky outside the window.
A whole night had passed like this.
She stood up and stretched, and after moving her body, walked to the side to open the theater door, taking the information recorded by Ye Xing.
Although the information found by the Night Watchers today was very little, adding it to the previous information was not insignificant.
Next, they only needed to find decisive information.
This might require finding the [Dream Narrator] who wove the dream, then making contact to obtain certain information.
However, this carried a certain level of danger.
The Night Watchers did not know the personality of that Star Eclipse, nor did they know its purpose.
Without the power to resist, making contact would be a life-risking gamble.
The risk was not ordinary.
However, this was not something Ye Lan could decide. It depended on what the Leader thought.
Her role in this incident was only that of an information courier.
Yes, in the case of not making wishes.
After sending the information obtained from Ye Xing to the Leader, Ye Lan began preparing to wash up.
Next, she needed to prepare for breakfast, and bring a portion for Ye Xing as well.
The feeling of hunger was not pleasant.
Meanwhile.
In the theater.
Ye Xing let out a light breath.
Although she hadn't slept all night, she didn't feel a hint of drowsiness.
She even felt she could stay up for several more nights, feeling extremely energetic.
But thinking was one thing; she would still take a short nap later.
Sleeping in the theater was quite nice.
At this time, the theater door suddenly opened.
The figures of Kong Yubai and Shu Yao appeared in the theater, looking as if they had had a good sleep.
Ye Xing blinked and asked, "Did you dream?"
"I don't know, it feels like maybe we did." Kong Yubai's expression was uncertain.
Shu Yao's expression was also slightly confused.
"It seems like some memories have disappeared."
"Then you must have entered."
Since their memories were blurred, they must have entered that strange dream.
Even though Shu Yao possessed immense mental power, and Kong Yubai held a sub-supernova Star Eclipse, they still could not avoid having their memories of the dream erased.
It seemed only Ye Xing Lan was the bug in the dream; others could not exploit loopholes.
Yes, her status was more advanced!
After learning the result from Ye Xing, Kong Yubai and Shu Yao asked, "Did we find you? Or did you find us?"
Since their memories of the dream had disappeared, they didn't know if they had found Ye Lan.
Ye Xing shook her head and let out a light sigh.
"I didn't find you at all. Who knows where you were... If you had lingered near headquarters, I might have been able to find you."
Kong Yubai laughed.
"There's nothing we can do about that. Although I've been to the capital before for performances, I'm not familiar with the environment there. I don't even know where the Night Watchers' headquarters is."
If even Kong Yubai was like this, then Shu Yao probably didn't need to be mentioned.
Ye Xing looked at Shu Yao and saw her shaking her head as well.
"In my long life before, I might have been to the capital, but times change quickly. It might have become an unfamiliar place now."
Well, it seemed they were like people visiting the capital for the first time.
To set a meeting point with them now, they would need to become a bit more familiar with the capital's structure.
Otherwise, Kong Yubai and Shu Yao could only rely on luck to find Ye Lan in the dream.
"Well, I'll have Ye Lan secretly take you around the capital later. Just get a bit familiar with it using a map, and we shouldn't be discovered. Then we can set a meeting point, so we won't have to worry about not finding each other in the dream."
Shu Yao and Kong Yubai nodded lightly.
The matter was settled.
Just as Ye Xing was preparing to leave the theater for the rest room at headquarters to wash up and have breakfast, a certain fluctuation appeared in the theater.
Ye Xing turned to look and found it was actually Mo Tutu the Announcer!
"Shocking! Why are you here?"
"Huh? I'm the Announcer, why can't I be here?"
"Hmm... let me think, you entered the dream yesterday too, right?"
"Yes, and I even saw the true form of the Star Eclipse weaving the dream. It seemed quite troublesome."
"I see, your luck is quite good."
Ye Xing pondered for a moment, suddenly realizing something, her expression freezing.
"Wait, can you remember things from the dream?! Are you a bug too?!"
Mo Tutu shook her head.
"I don't remember. I'm not a bug either."
"Ah, then how do you know you encountered the Star Eclipse in the dream?"
Mo Tutu raised her head slightly, trying to put on a relaxed and cool expression, but only cuteness could be seen on her face.
"Heh~ Is this difficult? I just need to do a little divination to know. Even if my memories were interfered with, I can analyze the outcome of events from the fragmented information obtained through divination. That's all."
"I see. Did you interact with that Star Eclipse?"
"I did have a simple interaction, but there was no in-depth communication. That guy didn't seem to want to talk to me. He can't take the game at all."
When saying this, Mo Tutu sighed in disappointment, seemingly truly frustrated.
Ye Xing was a bit stunned.
"Are you two naturally incompatible? Why do I feel like you seem to have the upper hand?"
"Upper hand? Not really. He's just not interested in me, but I'm quite interested in him. I can only take it slow."
Hearing Mo Tutu say this, Ye Xing's eyes lit up.
"So you're saying I can completely lay flat? You're confident you can end it by tomorrow, right?"
"You're dreaming."
"Okay then."
