The sound emerged from the chaos and darkness, as if the continent was slowly rising from the bottom of the sea, gradually condensing into reality at Lin Sanjiu's feet.
She blinked blankly, and in her field of vision was Nuwa's face hanging in a haze.
"I..." She then realized that her body was sore and stiff, and whispered: "Yes, I just entered their dream..."
Lin Sanjiu's face felt wet, and she wiped it away with her hand. She slowly got up from the ground and sat down.
"You experienced the dreams of five people."
Nuwa whispered, "The longer you stay in a dream, the harder it will be to realize that you are in a dream. In order to prevent your mind from getting lost, you need to wake up and take a breath."
"Five people?"
Lin Sanjiu was startled and regained consciousness. She frowned and recalled carefully for a while. "Ah, yes... Yu Yuan, Bohemia, Nu Yue, Han Suiping... and Pina just now."
The dreams of others will turn out to be like your own dreams. Even if you recall them over and over again after waking up, all you can grasp are fragments shaken by the waves.
She vaguely remembered that Yu Yuan in Black Mountain Town was still very young, and there seemed to be a warm finger touch behind her ears; she also remembered the moment when Bohemia jumped off the high wall, and her long hair was fluttering in the dark night.
Feiyang - I may not be able to remember the experience clearly, but my soul is still trembling and throbbing.
She couldn't tell whether Nu Yue and Han Suiping's dreams were dreams of their own, or whether their dreams were connected because they both dreamed of the modern world.
They were sitting in a auditorium, which was packed with people. The debate was very fierce. The affirmative said that one must first protect oneself, and one can only protect oneself. One cannot naively leave one's fate to others, even if it costs other people's lives.
; The counter-argument is that since there is the best of both worlds and a way to survive, why must we take a life-and-death path?
Lin Sanjiu had forgotten exactly what issue they were arguing over.
The opposition ended in a disastrous defeat; she remembered that it seemed to be a vote. According to the results of the vote, a new law would soon begin to be implemented in the modern world - what was it?
That law seemed to be called "Pac Man", but Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember the specific reason.
"We can't really let them implement the new rules," Han Suiping whispered, "otherwise... not only the opponents will die, but countless people will lose their lives in the future."
"How to stop it? There is no way to stop it."
Nuyue's rhetorical question was not a genuine question - her face was as cold as iron, and when she looked at the people in the venue, there was a hint of sharp and clear disgust.
"If you ask me, let them implement it. They hope to survive at the expense of others. This is their choice, let them do it. If they die because of this, they will reap the consequences. I would like to see,
In the end, what would a world full of people like this look like?"
Han Suiping always listened to her words, but now he shook his head vigorously. "No, if we let people like that gain power... the more solid this world is like an iron house, the harder it will be for us to get out!"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember what happened next. The differences between Han Suiping and Nu Yue were both major and minor. Han Suiping took them undercover to investigate and secretly investigate, trying to find a way to stop the entire incident.
The key point is that Nuyue has never been interested in helping.
How did it end later?
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and desperately searched for the fragments in her mind.
She only remembered that in the final scene of the dream, the three of them were standing on the roof of a skyscraper, with the night wind howling and occupying the world. The city below them was brightly lit; behind them was a huge signal-transmitting micro-satellite tower.
——It is also a special item.
"Are you crazy?"
Nuyue shouted angrily, "Don't you know what the cost of using this item is? Your ability has not evolved to that level at all. If you forcefully activate it, you will even risk your own life - just for the sake of those below.
people?"
One of Han Suiping's arms had turned into an iron-green shell-armor claw. The wind hit the shell-armor, making a metal-like reverberation. He lowered his head and, amidst Nuyue's roar, bit by bit, lifted it.
Exploded into the signal tower.
"No,"
When Nu Yue finished her last words, he suddenly raised his head, looked back and forth between Nu Yue and Lin Sanjiu and said, "It's not for those people."
"Why is that?" Nuyue could no longer hold back her tears and pressed her eyes heavily with the heel of her hand, as if this would stop her from crying.
"I no longer have any nostalgia for this so-called home world."
Han Suiping said slowly: "After I left the modern world, it was like escaping from a nightmare. When I opened my eyes, I found that the outside world is so big and there are so many ways for people to live... It turns out that people don't necessarily have to live a life that is perfect.
Humble and dark, twisted and straight; it turns out that people can be free."
The night wind on the top floor seemed to have blown away all the sounds in the world. Only Han Suiping slowly fed himself into the signal tower under the night cover, speaking sometimes clearly and sometimes vaguely in the strong wind.
"I'm like a monster who grew up in the cracks, a mixture of fragments of two worlds. I'm no longer a resident of the modern world, but I'm not a free man in the doomsday world either. While I'm eager to move forward,
I can't help but look back. You are like light, illuminating the outside world and allowing me to see myself clearly... I know that I will always have this feeling of being out of place throughout my life, unable to find my home.
"But, I'm still grateful."
Han Suiping turned his head and glanced at the city under the night sky.
"Even if it's just a brief moment of freedom...it's all worth it.
"So I think that in this world we have fought together, there may be more of me, waiting for more of you in the future."
He sighed lowly and said: "If I don't give it a try, how will you leave this world? You are the only one who should not be buried with this world. If my life can add to your freedom,
A little weight is fine too.”
What happened next?
Lin Sanjiu thought in a daze, yes, and then Nuyue took a few steps forward and gently hugged Han Suiping.
After the long night wind that seemed to never stop, just as Nuyue judged, Han Suiping had already exhausted his life before he could succeed.
They sat side by side in the dark night, looking at a quiet and lonely body lying under the signal tower a few steps away.
"I am just an ordinary evolver. I have never thought about freedom or not." Nuyue stood up gently and said, "I just like to live in a muddle and do whatever I want.
Do it, and when the time comes, I will die."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized what she was going to do.
"I don't like to weigh and calculate gains and losses, or, like him, stuff righteousness and ideals into my head. No matter what I do, I only follow my heart. Maybe it's because from the beginning, I knew that ordinary evolvers like me
, it’s impossible to live long, so it’s better to live happily.”
Nuyue walked up to Han Suiping and gently stroked his hair.
"I don't care at all whether people in the modern world live or die. Their fate is their own fault... I only care about you. I hope you can live, I hope you can go, I hope Han Suiping's wish can come true. Now I can
I am the only one who can fulfill his wish, right?"
Nuyue put a hand on top of his head and looked up at Lin Sanjiu. She looked so young and soft, as if she was just a handful of delicate sand that had not had time to condense into a hard material.
He was thrown into the torrent and had to resist the surging yellow water.
"I have 'inherited' Han Suiping's abilities. Let me finish what he has not finished."
After that, she didn't remember anything.
Han Suiping and Nu Yue disappeared into the darkness after the closing ceremony.
Lin Sanjiu sat on the ground in a daze, slowly thinking of Pina.
Nuwa was right; the longer she stayed in the dream, the less she felt it was a dream.
When she entered Pina's dream, she thought she had just had a nightmare, dreaming that both Han Suiping and Nu Yue were dead. She couldn't control herself for a moment and fell to the floor in the corridor outside the medical cabin - Pina heard sobbing.
He limped out with a panicked look on his face, threw his crutches to the ground with a clang, and sat down to comfort her for a long time.
"Don't be sad, they are all fine on the boat," Pina said softly. "It's strange, you have always been a very sober and rational person...how could you cry like this over a dream?"
After she finished speaking, she reacted and hurriedly waved her hands and explained: "Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you shouldn't cry, or that you're not sober and rational right now... Since you have such emotions, express them,
It's best to vent it out. I'm just a little weird..."
Pina was afraid that Lin Sanjiu would think too much about that sentence, and she was anxious and at a loss for words. She tried to explain back and forth, as if she was almost making herself uncomfortable.
"I understand." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but temporarily let go of the pain of saying goodbye in her dream, and in turn explained to her: "I didn't think much about it, you were just worried about me."
"Yes," Pina nodded in embarrassment, and then thought for a while. "Your emotional reaction is so strong, it makes me worried. I don't know what the source of your dream is..."
As if being stabbed deeply by the memory, Lin Sanjiu suddenly trembled and jumped up from the ground.
She looked at Nuwa and opened and closed her lips several times before forming a sound.
"Pi, does Pina know? She knew two days ago... that Fu Xiro was going to kill everyone tonight?"
Nuwa nodded slowly.
"Pina used [Tracing to the Origin] on me!" Lin Sanjiu salvaged the memories and spliced the fragments together to form an answer that even she couldn't believe. "She entered my consciousness and tracked Han Suiping.
The dream with Nuyue goes all the way back to the source...that is, two days later, tonight? But is this possible? How could she use her abilities in the dream? "
Nuwa's expression did not change at all.
"When you are desperately trying to run in your dream, your sleeping feet will occasionally move, right? It's normal." She smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Even if Pina learned in her dream that Fu Siro was between them.
The next night, I will kill everyone and even forget about it when I wake up."
Nuwa slowly exhaled, tilted her head, and stretched her neck; the bones clicked softly inside her body, as if her body was a squeezed and deformed mountain and continent.
"This also saves me a lot of work...I don't have to design the shape and outline of the dream, she just met the same multiple-choice question as you."
I was chatting before and said that I wanted to read a comic book about wits, so I read a book called Abyss of Gambling. After the first gambling game was over and the progress was 34%, I deleted the comic... cheating is no longer pure.
It’s a battle of wits, but the problem is that even after the cheat is played, you still have to rely on luck to maintain a 50-50 chance of winning or losing. Is this cheat coming out to bully me for my poor brain!
PS: The anti-theft bomb actually brought out salty soy milk and rice milk. I have never drank either. I am hungry and want to eat steamed buns (sweet), soy milk and fried dough sticks...
