Chapter 292

Tang Yi had been dreaming a lot recently.

In his dreams, there were no Shen family members who suddenly appeared like heroes to pull him out of the abyss. He also did not manage to successfully take his mother away.

He was alone, maneuvering around his demon-like father, but was still discovered in the final step, leading to the complete failure of his original plan. He also lost the last bit of warmth, and could only kill that man.

After that man died, he became obsessed with the feeling of killing.

Step by step luring prey into traps he designed, strangling them until they were completely dead, feeling the warmth of the blood flowing out, it seemed as if doing so could fill the void in his heart.

Later on, afraid that he would end up killing his last two relatives, he voluntarily walked into the world's most special prison.

Flightless Bird.

He was not a prisoner, but an officially hired staff member of Flightless Bird.

He had two tasks. One was to take turns with the other guard in charge of opening the doors according to the cycles, to guard and open the doors. The other was to be a good ruler of Building No.4, managing those extremely evil people.

If Building No.1 was the source of value, Building No.2 was value protection, and Building No.3 was absolute neutrality, then Building No.4 was chaotic neutrality.

Chaotic neutrality could sometimes determine the overall situation, and if this building was controlled by the prison, it would be equivalent to secretly controlling the distribution of internal forces within the entire Flightless Bird.

What Tang Yi had to do was this.

To assist the prison in intervening in the distribution of power when necessary from the dark.

Tang Yi quite enjoyed this job. As long as it was under the banner of handling abnormalities for the prison, he could deal with everyone in any way.

In any form.

In his dreams, Tang Yi saw himself enjoying such a dull life with occasional warmth brought by blood.

Until that day.

During his routine door guard duty, he met a particularly interesting person.

With just a light, fluttering sentence, his heart that had already gone silent could come alive again, without needing the warmth of blood. This person was the most vibrant color that had suddenly appeared in his world that had already turned grey.

He wanted to catch him, but Shen Yue did not let him get close. In order to get close to the color he wanted, he could only plot schemes.

In the end, he did get his wish, but also gave up his life because of it.

But he did not regret it.

His life was already a mess, the dull colors constantly made him feel tired, so he had to catch that touch of color no matter what, even if it meant death.

What he did not expect was that Shen Yue really kept his dead self by his side.

Tang Yi had never believed in souls in this world, until he himself became a lingering soul, inexplicably shackled to Shen Yue's side, and only then did he realize that perhaps he had already obtained what he wanted.

Following Shen Yue, he also learned the conditions for time regression.

If he could really go back in time, wouldn't he be able to firmly keep what he wanted to possess and wanted to protect by his side this time?

At the end of the dream, Shen Yue fell in a pool of blood, and a white light flashed by, freezing everything.

...

Tang Yi opened his eyes, slightly disoriented at first, but quickly understood the current situation.

According to the development in the dream, the world he was in now should be the one that had been reset.

This time, before he could make a move, Shen Yue found him first, saving him from becoming a murderer, and also allowing him to keep his last bit of warmth.

Logically, this was the case.

The reason Tang Yi made such a judgment was based on his extremely rational mind, as well as some dark and cruel thoughts that would pop up from time to time.

He could be certain that if he was not in his current situation of providing for his family, he would definitely become like he was in the dream, without a doubt.

He still remembered the information he obtained in the dream, memory transfer.

Wasn't that what he had now? Memory transfer?

Although according to Shen Yue and Si Chengyou in the dream, memory transfer would generally regress back to the limits of one's brain capacity, such as Si Chengyou starting from 10 years old.

Whereas he now received the memories from age 23, he didn't know if it was related to the fact that he was already dead during the regression.

But after sorting through all the information in the dream, Tang Yi was quite glad that he received the memories at 23.

If he had seen his own definite death ending like Si Chengyou did at 10 years old, he would not have believed it either. He would have just taken it as a nightmare, then gotten over it after it passed.

But now, it was the turning points in his own experiences that allowed him to infer that everything in the dream was true.

Thinking of this, Tang Yi suddenly wanted to know what Shen Yue's thoughts about him were.

Although he knew that he now was not the Tang Yi with only greyness left in Flightless Bird in the dream, and Shen Yue was also not the Shen Yue who used himself as a bargaining chip.

They both had calmer lives that belonged to themselves.

Especially Shen Yue, who now had that person by his side.

Thinking of Si Chengyou, Tang Yi frowned.

After carefully comparing his current impression of Si Chengyou with Si Chengyou's image in the dream, question marks slowly floated over Tang Yi's head.

Using his clever brain, he carried out some theoretical reasoning and decided to contact Shen Yue without revealing that he had the memories, behind Si Chengyou's back.

Before leaving, Tang Yi called over his younger brother, who had become much better behaved under Shen Wu. He instructed: "I probably won't be back for dinner tonight. Remember to put the rice in the rice cooker at 4pm this afternoon, so mom can eat as soon as she gets home."

The gloom on the teenage boy's face had faded quite a bit. Hearing Tang Yi's words, he nodded: "We really won't be getting a chef to cook anymore?"

As Tang Yi put on his shoes, he answered without hesitation: "No, from now on there will only be four people in this family."

The boy was very disappointed, but still did not say more.

By now, Tang Yi had already changed and was taking his keys to go out the door.

Previously, because he worked at the Shen family, he was worried that his mother would not be properly taken care of, so he specially hired aunties to come to the house. As a result, the two young ones made trouble, nearly taking a life.

Even afterwards when he only hired a chef to simply cook, the chef nearly lost his hands.

After that, Tang Yi gave up on the idea of hiring others to look after the kids at home, and instead had them learn to take care of others.

If they didn't want to learn, they could go to Shen Wu.

Tang Yi drove straight to the Shen house.

He was now also considered a confidant of the Shen family. For the things with his younger siblings, he frequented the Shen house a lot, so the Shen gatekeeper also recognized him and even joked with him: "Boss Tang, have your siblings caused trouble again?"

Tang Yi smiled amiably and explained, "No, today I came to ask if Miss Shen Yue is home?"

"Alright, please wait a moment while I call to ask."

The gatekeeper turned around and went into the control room to make a call.

Soon, there was an answer: "Miss Shen Yue is inside. Please go on in."

Yes, this crappy little novel has signed a physical book publishing contract, so I'm starting to write bonus stories hahahahahaha
