"Yes, my vision is still pretty good."

My heart moved and I was distracted for a moment. In my memory, Tongtong didn't seem to be such a lively person. She was very quiet and gentle. She liked to lean on my arms and didn't speak. She just stretched out her little hand and gently touched the tip of my nose.

Perhaps, if Tongtong was just an ordinary human being, she would be such a lively and lovely girl.

I thought about it and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. Since it was just a dream, I didn't need to be so restrained. I took a step forward, and in Tongtong's somewhat surprised eyes, I reached out and put my arms around her slender waist again.

Holding her soft and fragrant body in my arms, I had no evil thoughts at all. I just held her quietly. However, Tongtong's reaction was once again different from the one I remembered.

Tongtong's face turned slightly red, but she used her little hands to push me away. She was quite cute and spoke with difficulty.

"no……"

"If we don't leave, it will be too late."

I didn’t understand what Tongtong was saying, but then Tongtong grabbed my hand, pulled me out of the room.

"Let's go. If you go too late, they will be off work."

I followed Tongtong out of the room in a daze, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"What do you mean by off duty? What are we going to do?"

Tongtong stopped when she heard that, rolled her eyes at me, then took out two IDs from her pocket and sighed.

"Have you forgotten that we have to register today?"

Register? What is that?

My brain became a little dull. I always felt that I should know this thing, but no matter what, I just couldn't remember it.

But when I followed Tongtong all the way downstairs and opened the door, a scene that made me even more confused came upon me.

In the sunshine, the crisp green plants are trimmed neatly and beautifully, the yellow flowers are swaying in the wind, and countless people are walking in front of us in groups of three or five, talking and laughing.

There are young women pushing strollers, students walking with their heads down holding their cell phones, and bored passers-by sitting on benches in the community waiting for someone.

To me, all this is so strange and so incredible.

A normal human civilized society...?

This dream is really too perfect.

I stared blankly at everything in front of me. It was beautiful, but I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

When I came to my senses, Tongtong and I were already sitting in the back seat of the taxi.

Tongtong looked very excited. She held my right hand tightly and couldn't calm down at all. I couldn't calm down either.

The streets are bustling with traffic, with cars flowing together like a river, but in my eyes, it is like the stroboscopic sound of radio waves. As my vision flickers, the streets in front of me sometimes appear desolate and piled with bones, and sometimes return to their original state, noisy and lively.

I rubbed my eyes and then shifted my gaze back to the taxi. It was such a beautiful dream, so I should not think about those unhappy things.

Sitting in the car, looking at Tongtong's excited and expectant expression, my heart softened. I gently held her little hand and asked in a low voice.

"Tongtong, let me ask you something."

"Do you remember how we got together?"

I want to know, at least in this beautiful dream, what the story between Tongtong and me is.

Tongtong smiled when she heard that, leaned her little head over to me, rubbed my shoulder affectionately, and spoke slowly.

"remember."

"I was out walking at night and ran into some drunk hooligans and I got scared."

"So I just ran and ran, but I didn't run very far before I fell down."

"Just at this moment, you appeared and stood in front of me."

"Then, you were beaten black and blue by those drunken hooligans."

Hearing this, I smiled, squinted my eyes, and spoke softly.

"Why is it the old-fashioned drama of a hero saving a beautiful girl?"

Tongtong curled her lips and immediately retorted.

"No, I took off my shoes and used the soles of my shoes to beat those hooligans away."

"..."

"Afterwards, I felt sorry for you, so I took you back to my house and bandaged your wounds."

"After a while, it just happened in a muddled way."

Damn it, why can’t I have a romantic story even in my dreams?

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kept shaking my head, but Tongtong turned her head and spoke softly.

“Very handsome.”

"It was the first time I saw a stranger who would not back down even if he was beaten black and blue for my sake."

“This is really cool.”

I was stunned when I heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, I realized that this is indeed my style, but the evaluation I received before was not like this. I couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"That's just stupid."

Tongtong suddenly squeezed my palm, turned sideways, looked at me tenderly, put her mouth close to my ear, and whispered softly.

"I……"

“I would never think it was stupid.”

The warm breath gently hits my earlobe, it's itchy but not uncomfortable. Instead, it feels like two hearts are very close at this moment.

Time, please go slower. Let this beautiful dream last a little longer. It would be best if I never wake up.

After a long time, the taxi stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Tongtong and I walked out slowly. I still couldn't adapt to the endless stream of people.

Whenever I pass by a stranger, I can't help but reach into my pocket, where there should be a pistol.

Such a dense crowd always reminds me of the zombies all over the streets, and I can't calm down.

Tongtong pulled me, who was a little stiff, and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau step by step, still talking with a smile.

"As for your honeymoon, have you decided where to go?"

My eyes flickered and I blurted out.

"Let's go to the beach. Let's go to the beach."

When Tongtong heard this, she stopped and asked me with some confusion.

“Why the seaside?”

I was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and in the end I could only speak softly.

"Because I promised you."

There was a hint of doubt in Tongtong's eyes, and she said with some confusion.

"Why don't I remember? Besides, there's nothing to go to at the beach."

My body trembled, and I looked at Tongtong in front of me, and finally I realized. I couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Tongtong's face, whispering to myself.

"Sure enough, they are not the same person."

A dream is just a dream after all. No matter how real it is, it is just an illusion and cannot be touched.

She is not the Tongtong who has experienced hundreds of reincarnations with me, nor is she the Tongtong I want to see.

It's just my pathetic dream, an unrealistic fantasy, a fake.

Fake, everything is fake.

I didn’t say anything else and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau with Tongtong. Even if it was a false dream, let it go on to the end.

There were two staff members sitting at the counter of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Tongtong and I walked slowly up and sat in front of the counter.

The counter staff were two female employees. They took the identity documents handed over by Tongtong with a smile on their faces. When they were about to say something, something strange happened.

But, in an instant, time stopped flowing and the entire dream fell into dead silence.

I sat in front of the counter, looking at the two staff members, squinting my eyes slightly. I saw that under my gaze, the two female staff members became blurred and turned into two nebula-like substances.

From one of the nebulas, countless overlapping sounds came into my ears.

"Why do you think all this is fake?"

I didn't answer this question directly, but looked at the two nebulae and spoke softly.

"I remember Cangwu said that you can't contact me directly."

As soon as the words were spoken, one of the nebulae gave the answer.

"Everything has changed. Our previous actions have disrupted the balance of this gamble, so we are qualified to contact you directly."

"At the same time, in exchange, he intervened."

"Your immortal body already has a natural enemy."

I don’t know which of the two nebulae is speaking, but their voices seem to be ringing directly in my head.

"Let's make a deal, Su Li."

Hearing this, I felt a strong sense of disgust in my heart. These two nebulae were the initiators of everything. They ruined Cangwu's life and also ruined my life.

Why can they offer me a deal so comfortably?

I lowered my brows and looked at the ID card on the counter. The name on it was clearly written as Su Li.

Has this pseudonym finally become my real name?

"What deal do you want to make with me?"

"The content of the deal is simple. In order to resolve this deadlock, you must give us your body, and we will take care of the rest."

"And in exchange, you can stay in this dream forever. We can promise you that when you wake up again, everything will be over and you can live the life you have always wanted."

I looked at the two nebulae and wanted to say something, but the corners of my mouth moved and I laughed silently.

Gradually, I laughed louder and louder, and finally I had to pound the counter with my fists to suppress my urge to laugh.

After laughing wildly, I looked at the two nebulae and whispered.

"That was your plan from the beginning, to contact me frequently and indirectly, and finally get the chance to get out directly."

"The guidance of the memory fragments, the acquisition of the mimicry ability, and the Cangwu you placed in advance are all for this purpose."

"You never placed your hopes on me, but instead wanted to take over my body and do it yourself."

The two nebulae did not deny this, but continued.

"This deal is beneficial to you and harmless. Aren't you fed up with this kind of life?"

"Staying here is not something unacceptable to you."

"Your lover, your parents, and whoever you want to be here will be here."

"We will make this illusion as real as reality, so that you won't be able to tell the difference."

I nodded slightly, leaned back, and spoke slowly.

“This is really a great place.”

"But...I can't accept it."

My eyes gradually turned cold. If there were other people present, they would be able to see my ferocious facial features and my undisguised hatred.

"Don't... treat me like a toy, you two bastards."

"I'm not a child anymore. I won't indulge in dreams."

"And I hate you!"

"I hate you!"

"Do you understand, you two bastards?"

The two nebulae flickered slightly, and I don't know if it represents their emotional fluctuations, but I think that beings like this should not have emotional fluctuations because of such things.

"We won't force you, but at least let us know."

"Is there anything about this illusion that you are not satisfied with?"
