Chapter 41
Hui Yuan was stunned for a moment, and also looked upward, at the top of the long segmented staircase.

The spaced skylights cast daylight, making the entire theater lounge bright and transparent without any external lighting during the day.The entire lounge uses three colors as the main tone: milky white, transparent color, and wood color.The milky white ones are the floor tiles and the baffle on the left side of the stairs; the transparent ones are the baffles on the right side of the stairs, and the wood color is the side walls and the handrails at the top of the baffles.The entire lounge has a simple and elegant style.

...But, Yumiko Tamaki said, is this the Tower of Babel?
He glanced at Tamaki Yumiko again, trying to make sure she was still normal.

Yumiko Tamaki just frowned, and continued to stare at the big staircase going up: "...that's right, it's this ramp, the ramp I climbed with other miners."

"Our current location should be half a month after departure."

"The tower is so high that the pullers can only be responsible for a certain section of it. The pullers here are responsible for the nearby fifty floors. They take the goods from the pullers below and hand them over to the people above. . They built towns on this level. They gave birth to children and never returned to the earth."

"They converted abandoned carts into wooden frames, filled them with soil, and extended these frames to the edge of the ramp. A large vegetable field in the sky was built."

"There is more sunshine in the sky dozens of miles above the ground. The fruits and vegetables grown in the vegetable garden are larger than those on the ground."

"...Ah, even, what a beautiful lavender field there is."

Hui Yuanchu suddenly turned around and stared at the fully enclosed glass curtain wall beside him.

There is still a gray fog outside the wall.

But he could confirm that in the corner of his eye just now, there was indeed a large lavender field appearing outside the window.

Tamaki Yumiko fell silent suddenly.

Huiyuan didn't say anything either.He was concentrating, carefully observing every subtle change in Tamaki Yumiko's expression. At the same time, he continued to pay attention to the scene outside the glass curtain wall and the environment around the two of them.

This scene suddenly became weird.He could only tighten his nerves and be on guard against any changes that might happen next.

Tamaki Yumiko finally sighed.

"Haihara-kun, don't worry about me. I know that my current state is not normal. I also know that this place is not normal..." She shook her head.

"I have not lost my memory. I clearly remember that we were originally in a theater, but we planned to avoid those terrorists..."

"But... when did I feel that the surroundings had turned into a tower of Babel..." She rubbed her forehead and said to herself, "Haihara-kun, can you tell me again? Now, we What do you see around you?"

Hui Yuanchu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He hesitated for a while, and finally said cautiously and slowly: "...Tamaji, we are not in any tower at all. In front of you is the grand staircase from the first floor to the second floor of the theater."

Tamaki Yumiko's expression fell into a brief confusion: "Then why did I see..."

Then, as if she thought of something, her expression quickly became tense.

"Haihara-kun...the Tower of Babel is my dream." She murmured to herself, "My dream...seeped out."

Hui Yuanchu took a deep breath and looked up at the ordinary ramp again.

He had to admit that although Tamaki Yumiko's words were a bit incoherent, like talking in sleep, they were probably closest to the truth.

Tamaki Yumiko's dream was not just a dream.That is the phenomenon formed during the process when Tamaki Yumiko's spirit is continuously being penetrated and transformed by the true spirit.

In this case, when the true spirit further penetrates into reality, it is not impossible to rewrite the reality around her to look like this.

But - Hui Yuanchu still didn't understand: "Why can't I see it?"

Tamaki Yumiko shook her head vigorously and said: "No! No, it's not that Haibara-kun can't see it, it's just that he can't see it 'yet'... After all, this is my dream."

Huiyuan didn't know how to answer the question and fell silent.He understood what Yumiko Tamaki wanted to say.The true spirit is permeating and dreams are spreading, but this is a process, and there are distances and distances.Tamaki Yumiko is the core of the movement, so she falls into the dream first.As for Huiyuan, he was always with Tamaki Yumiko in the closest place, so he would definitely fall in at the second time, following Tamaki Yumiko.

This second time, no one knows how early or late it is.But it's just "a matter of time".

Moreover, Haiyuan found that the more he thought about it, the more he could not deny Yumiko Tamaki's statement that "this is a dream permeating".

Because it was he who personally verified that the scenes in this theater were all fake... fake like a thin layer of disguise.

What's behind the disguise?It can't be real theater, because that would be pointless.

The only logical conclusion...what Tamaki Yumiko saw was the truth.

Tamaki Yumiko faced the truth.And he was temporarily isolated behind falsehood.

... Hui Yuanchu shook his head, reminding himself not to stray from the core of the matter.

The point is, it seems that Tamaki Yumiko's ascension to the spiritual realm continues to deepen.And once she realizes that she is abnormal, she will naturally become more panicked, and the panic will weaken her spirit, giving the true spirit more opportunities to take advantage of, and further deepen the process of spiritual ascension... This forms a positive feedback.

Is there any other way to interrupt this positive feedback loop?Hui Yuan was thinking - should he break the situation directly with violence?For example, since Yumiko Tamaki is the core of the mutation, what if she is knocked unconscious here and made unconscious?

But while he was thinking, Tamaki Yumiko became nervous again for some reason.She suddenly lowered her head deeply and did not dare to raise it, as if she was afraid of something.

Hui Yuanchu immediately became alert, looked around and asked, "What's wrong? What did you see?"

"Haihara-kun, I just suddenly thought..." Tamaki Yumiko lowered her voice, her voice deformed by fear, "If my dream has come to reality...then, he, he will also come out..."

"Who?"

Tamaki Yumiko covered her face and was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, then raised her pale face and looked at Haihara Chu: "Haihara-kun... let me tell you the ending of the story."

Hui Yuan felt something was wrong at first: "You...remembered?"

Tamaki Yumiko continued speaking by herself: "...I cut open the dome of the heavenly cellar... However, it was water. From the gap, floodwater gushes out."

"But we had anticipated this. So in the tunnels of the Paradise Cellar, we built water gates at regular intervals in advance."

"The water gate was lowered in time. But I couldn't be faster than the flood, which means I was also blocked by the water gate."

"In the water, I was struggling and trying to swim up in a daze. Maybe what I was thinking was that before I drowned, I just wanted to take a look at heaven."

"I don't know how long it took, but I finally surfaced."

"Then what came into my eyes was the familiar desert plain and the Tower of Babel standing on the distant horizon."

"I understood where I was...I returned to the land of Shinar. Above the crypt of heaven is the underground of Shinar. The bottom of the crypt of heaven was dug through, and the water of Shinar poured in through the gap."

...Is this also a cycle? Hearing this, Hui Yuanchu quickly realized it.But while he was still thinking about the profound meaning of this story, Tamaki Yumiko's trembling became more intense.

"Haihara-kun, this is still not the end." She hugged herself tightly and said tremblingly.

"The real ending is that I finally remembered...the story of the Tower of Babel is not my dream. It is just a story in my dream."

"To be precise, my dream was that the man was telling me the story of the Tower of Babel."
