this infinite world

Comfortable.

It feels as comfortable as a fish in water.

Yang Yun felt himself surrounded by a deep sense of peace, as if he had returned to his childhood, to his mother's loving and warm embrace.

The gentle power was like an invisible care, surrounding every inch of his skin. All the burdens seemed to melt away with this warmth. He had never felt so at ease before.

No need to think, no need to worry, no need to worry about life or death, and no need to consider those miscellaneous troubles. The soul seems to be purified, all the pressure and distractions are gone with the wind, leaving only the purest self and tranquility.

(host……)
"Yang..."

——So noisy.

However, I still hear a lot of confusing and unclear noises.

Yang Yun couldn't help but frown, as if he was disturbed in a beautiful dream, and a thought instantly came to his mind while he was sleeping soundly.

——It’s not time to go to bed yet.

I heard my own voice and the voice of the outside world. Although my mind was still craving for that warm embrace, my body had already taken the necessary actions.

Consciousness slowly rose from the bottom of the mind, and the sounds that sounded noisy, incoherent and sentences became closer.

(host……)
"Yang Yun... Yang Yun!"

One voice gradually faded away, while another, louder and more powerful voice gradually became clearer, leading Yang Yun to gradually wake up from the deepest slumber.

Thoughts began to flow, fingers began to move, eyelids began to tremble, consciousness was about to return to the body, and then -

"Get up!!!"

"Snapped!"

As a man's roar broke the silence, Yang Yun suddenly felt a violent impact on his cheek. The burning pain instantly activated all his nerves and made him jump up from his seat.

"Fuck! Zheng Zha, what are you doing!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Yang Yun cursed out a classic Chinese curse before he even opened his eyes: "Do you know how exhausted I was to pay my taxes last night? I..."

"……what?"

As soon as the words came out, Yang Yun's slightly slow mind realized that something was wrong, and he quickly closed his mouth. What came to him was Zheng Zha's stunned, surprised, and embarrassed look.

"Ahem... Um, Yang Yun. Sorry, it's my fault."

Hearing Yang Yun blurt out these words, Zheng Zha's slap suddenly froze in mid-air. He never dreamed that Yang Yun's first words after being woken up would be this: "Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't know what you were doing last night... No, when did you create a human being?"

"Ah? I didn't create a human being?" Looking at Zheng Zha's slightly embarrassed face, Yang Yun was also stunned: "What do you mean by creating a human being?"

"Then what do you mean by paying public taxes..."

Looking at Yang Yun's slightly confused expression, Zheng Zha took a deep breath, and then seemed to think of something. He first glanced at Zhao Yingkong on the other side, then patted Yang Yun's shoulder with a little pity and said: "Yang Yun, I know you are under a lot of pressure on weekdays, so you start to have that kind of dream."

"But I tell you, this kind of thing can be done in private. It's a bit too exaggerated to blow yourself up in front of everyone..."

"...I was just confused just now." Looking at Zheng Zha's gloating expression, Yang Yun took a deep breath, looked around and said seriously: "So, can you please forget everything you just heard?"

"Hey! Wait!"

……

“…This is a misunderstanding.”

After a period of chaos, Yang Yun finally regained his usual calm and sat in his seat, saying with a heavy face.

"...I understand." Zheng Zha said with a heavy face.

——No, you understand nothing... Damn it, this may be the dark history of my life.

Yang Yun rubbed his temple and sighed.

At this time, Yang Yun was in a high-speed bus. Apart from the people from the Zhongzhou team, there were no other passengers on the bus, not even a driver... Although it was very strange, for now, the bus was indeed still traveling at a high speed. I don't know how a car without a driver can drive normally on the road without any traffic accidents.

The view outside the car window was that the sun was about to set and sink into the night. The window was shrouded in a white mist, and visibility was very poor, much worse than the smog in the imperial capital.

--silent Hill.

This was the name of the world that the Zhongzhou team entered before Yang Yun fell into a deep sleep. And the destination of this driverless bus was exactly the town with two worlds, the inner and outer worlds.

"You finally woke up... I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I tried. If the Lord's protective shield hadn't disappeared, I would have thought the mission had already begun."

When Yang Yun withdrew his gaze from the outside world, Zheng Zha, who was sitting behind him, grabbed the back of his chair like a naughty student, and lowered his voice mysteriously and said: "What's wrong with you? Did you really dream about something exciting?"

"……roll."

Yang Yun sighed and stared at Zheng Zha behind him with contempt: "Can you be more serious? Although it hasn't officially started yet, this is a movie about the inner demons. Aren't you worried at all?"

As he spoke, Yang Yun pointed to the fog outside and said, "From the current situation, we are already in Silent Hill. This abnormal fog is not something that can be found in ordinary places."

"What are you afraid of? We can fight back when the enemy comes. Even though the inner demon is scary, when I think of your self-explosion just now, I feel that it has become your new inner demon..."

Zheng Zha laughed, and then as if he had thought of something, he suddenly said: "Come to think of it, don't you think this scene is a bit similar? It's also in a bus, and it's similar to the opening of Final Destination."

As soon as Zheng Zha said this, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and several members of the Zhongzhou team on the bus looked at him with strange eyes.

"...Can you please stop talking?"

Yang Yun took a deep breath, wishing he could sew Zheng Zha's mouth shut. He had known Zheng Zha for such a long time, but this was the first time he knew that this guy actually had the attribute of a big mouth. "Even if you were joking to liven up the atmosphere, this joke is not funny at all."

"Oh yeah, I forgot."

Zheng Zha scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, then turned back and said to the back row: "Sorry, Zhang Jie, I didn't mean to expose your scars..."

"……what?"

Hearing this, Yang Yun immediately looked at Zheng Zha with a strange look. Then, as if he had thought of something, he glanced around and looked at the scarred man who was smoking in the back seat with a melancholy look in disbelief...

"Wait, Zhang Jie... Aren't you staying in the Death Comes world?" (End of this chapter)
