Seizing Dreams [B1]

Ch 50 - Battle of Wits

If Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng didn't enter the dreamscape in time when the owner fell asleep, then they would still be dragged into the owner's conscious world when they next entered the dream. No matter what kind of events had taken place in that conscious world.

It also meant that if Chen Yekai's conscious world was destroyed in their absence, and the owner fell into his subconscious, when Yu Hao enters the dream again, he would be forcibly pulled into the subconsciousness of the previous dreamscape.

"It seems a bit dire." Yu Hao muttered.

Zhou Sheng, "That depends on whether our Chen Laoshi would get KO-ed by Ryuusei after he rushes over to Ryuusei without our help."

"What'll happen if he gets KO-ed?" Yu Hao asked again, but he could vaguely guess even without Zhou Sheng's answer. The situation in Chen Yekai's conscious world was quite critical now: the rainforest outside Chichén Itzá was on fire, and his conscious world had almost completely disintegrated. However, he had never encountered such a situation.

"Mental breakdown." Zhou Sheng said, "Through destroying his consciousness himself. Let's get up and wait ba. Good night."

The time zone difference was tortuous. Yu Hao suggested, "Let's go out for an all-nighter?"

The dormitory wasn't closed yet. Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng went to the Internet café outside their college for an all-nighter. Zhou Sheng watched a soccer match as he bitterly complained, "Why the hell are you still working on your English Listening Comprehension during an all-nighter? Could you not be so annoying?!"

Yu Hao said, "But it's not like I know how to play online games! What do you want me to do?!"

So Zhou Sheng could only ignore him. He took a short nap on the sofa later in the night. Half an hour later, he got up, "He hasn't slept yet."

The two of them stayed up until 7am before yawning as they returned to their dormitory. Zhou Sheng said, "Just hold on a little longer."

"What if Fu Liqun returns in the afternoon?" Yu Hao was concerned about being woken up by Fu Liqun.

Zhou Sheng, "I sent him a message saying that we did an all-nighter, and asked him to be quiet when he comes back."

Yu Hao could tell that he wasn't very lucid anymore. It was hard for him to stay up until 9am.

"I can't......" Yu Hao said, "I'm so damn sleepy, I don't care anymore......"

But when they entered the dream again, they were still standing in front of the Golden Crow Wheel.

Zhou Sheng, "He's still not asleep? That kid can really hold out, huh."

Yu Hao sat on the bridge railings and looked at Zhou Sheng with an utterly listless expression. Zhou Sheng said, "We're already in the dream! We're not sleepy anymore!"

"But I'm still really sleepy......" Yu Hao only wanted to lie down on the bridge. He didn't know why the sleepiness from reality had followed him into the dream.

Zhou Sheng, "Don't sleep, I don't know how to wake up someone who falls asleep in a dream!!"

Yu Hao rallied and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise.

"Fu Liqun is back." Yu Hao said, "I'll go open the door."

"Didn't I tell him to keep it down?" Zhou Sheng said.

Yu Hao felt muddleheaded and thought, what's going on? He forced himself to open his eyes. His eyes were painfully dry, and someone was knocking on the door.
