My Youth Began With Him

“Master, how’s the preparation going?”

“It’s almost done.” With that, Master Wu looked out of the window.

“The moment the sun sets, we will begin. I will send you in… After you enter, you will definitely attract the attention of the four dream creators. After all, in their eyes, you are a fish that escaped the net. After you return to the dream world, you will be hunted down by them… But the good thing is that you can also successfully divert their attention so that they will not attack your friends immediately.”

“That’s great.” Su Yu smiled.

“Stupid donkey,” he said. “You’re being hunted and you’re still laughing.”

“But I can buy more time for everyone. This means that my return is meaningful.”

“Sigh…”

Upon hearing what Su Yu said, Master Wu sighed and didn’t know what else to say.

“By the way, Master, there are two things I want to know before I enter the dream.” Su Yu thought about the questions in his heart.

“Sure.”

“The first question is, if Zeng Rou, who is the woman inside, hypnotizes everyone into a dream, you mean that she would need to have the chance to drug everyone before entering the dream, right?”

Master Wu nodded.

“But what if the people she hasn’t interacted with are also in the dream? Does that mean those people are made up? Or were they transformed from the dream creators?” Su Yu actually wanted to ask why Qiao Fei, Lu Yan, and the professor were all in the dream even though they were unrelated to Zeng Rou.

Master Wu explained, “Let me give you an example. For example, in a village, something happened and someone saw it. Then, that someone slowly spread it and told everyone. Eventually, it will spread like wildfire, you got it?”

“Oh… Master, are you saying that the medicine can spread… Even if Zeng Rou has never come into contact with someone directly, as long as the person she came into contact with is in contact with others, they will still be affected?”

“Smart.” This was the first time Master Wu praised Su Yu because he realized that Su Yu’s logical thinking was actually very strong.

“Then I understand…”

Su Yu realized that Zeng Rou might have drugged Huo Mian the most. Huo Mian believed in this fact and treated the dream as reality. Naturally, when reality and the dream came together, she would bring in Lu Yan and Qiao Fei, with whom she had the most contact. Lu Yan and Qiao Fei had the chance to get in touch with the professor, so it made sense for the professor to fall into the dream.

“Master, let me ask the second question. A dream creator can change into anyone’s appearance. So after I enter the dream, should I treat everyone as a suspect and eliminate them one by one?”

“You could think that.”

“But with so many people, it’s hard to eliminate them. How can I find four dream creators in such a short period of time?”

This was what worried Su Yu the most. It didn’t matter if he died, what he feared the most was if he sacrificed himself and still couldn’t save everyone, wouldn’t he have sacrificed himself for nothing?

“To be honest, there are no shortcuts to this… You can only observe it yourself. How should I put it? No matter how good a dream creator is, no matter how good they are at creating something, there will still be flaws. You have to observe carefully… Didn’t you tell me about the roast duck before? In the dream, you could sense that something was wrong. The taste of the roast duck wasn’t right, and it was tasteless. So, this is actually a way. You have to look at some small details and find out if this person is different from before. If there’s something strange about him, then he must be a dream creator.” Master Wu tried to explain everything in detail so that Su Yu could immediately understand.
