The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 996 Stealing Concepts
Gao Yang always believed that he had fallen into a powerful illusion or dream from the moment he opened the door.

The only way to break the situation is to find the flaw!
Miss Pu stopped and turned around slowly: "What's wrong?"

"It was 01 just now, why is it now 05? How long have we been gone? It can't be so fast. There must be a lot of dates skipped in the middle." Gao Yang was determined.

"Yes." Miss Pu showed a persuasive smile: "You finally discovered it."

"This is the flaw in the dream!" Gao Yang repeated.

"You are indeed still in your dream." Miss Pu blinked.

"Don't do this with me, I'm talking about you, and everything now is just a dream!"

Miss Pu sighed softly: "If the truth is as you said, then you have found the flaw, why don't you wake up from the dream?"

Gao Yang was speechless.

Miss Pu continued walking, and Gao Yang's wheelchair followed automatically.

Half a minute later, Miss Pu stopped in front of a hotel room on the left: "Please take a look."

Gao Yang looked up and saw that the number on the door of this hotel was "April 06, 4".

Gao Yang was stunned. He was very familiar with this date.

"Mr. Liu, I will open this room for you now, okay?"

Gao Yang stared at the door and said nothing.

"Mr. Liu, you think this is all just a dream, so what do you have to be afraid of? No matter what is in the room, it is all fake, isn't it?"

Gao Yang was still speechless.

"Sometimes, it is very painful to accept reality, especially when a person gets love in a dream." Miss Pu sighed softly: "From an idealistic point of view, it is not bad to die in a dream."

"But Mr. Liu, you are different. You have been doubting and seeking the truth, so you can reach this point. At this moment, you feel conflicted, afraid, and want to escape because you are about to wake up. You On the road to recovery, humans always say that they feel tired because they are going uphill.”

Gao Yang sneered: "I don't want you to open the door because I know what's in the room. I don't want to face that memory now. It will shake my belief and make me weak. I don't believe a word you say, sir." It's useless for me to secretly exchange concepts with me."

"The most difficult and critical step for any mental illness is to accept the fact that you are sick." Miss Pu nodded:
"I am just an AI that has served countless travelers on Jupiter. My words are indeed not convincing. Mr. Liu, don't be too hasty. If you can complete the first 99 steps, you will naturally be able to complete this last step. I believe that reality and time are the most important factors. Good doctor."

Miss Pu gently raised her hand and opened the hotel door named "April 06, 4".

The room is a "small world".

It was the orphanage in Gao Yang's memory. The old and messy dormitory was dimly lit, and the dormitory aunt and a dozen children sat around a wooden table.

Gao Yang, who had just turned six, was sitting next to his aunt, the dormitory caretaker. He wore a birthday hat made of cardboard from a cigarette box on his head. There was a cupcake on the table at the same level as his chest, with a lit candle on it.

The little boy clasped his hands together, his malnourished face flushed red by the candlelight, his eyes closed, his lips pursed, and he made a wish devoutly.

Outside the door, Gao Yang in the wheelchair stared blankly at his six-year-old self. He knew exactly what the orphan was wishing for and remembered every word clearly.

Soon, the little boy opened his eyes, stars twinkling in his eyes.

"call--"

He puffed his mouth and blew out the candle with all his strength, and the dormitory suddenly became dark.

"Great!"

"oh oh!"

The children clapped and shouted.

The dormitory aunt immediately got up and pulled the light cord, and a dim light bulb lit up above her head, like a magic umbrella in the dark forest, covering all the children with its golden and warm power. "Happy birthday to you!" The dormitory aunt happily held Gao Yang in her arms and took the lead in singing.

"Happy Birthday……"

The children sang along.

After singing the song, everyone was noisy again.

"Okay, okay, although the cake is very small, we still have candies to eat." The dormitory aunt took out a handful of cheap chocolate-filled candies from her pocket and gave one to every child here.

The children jumped for joy, as if they had got some treasure.

The dormitory aunt took off the candle and held up the cupcake: "Liu Li, eat it quickly."

"Ok!"

Gao Yang happily took a big bite, and immediately only half of the cupcake was left.

"Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Gao Yang bulged his mouth, feeling unprecedentedly happy. He said loudly: "Auntie! You eat too!"

The aunt freed up a hand and gently wiped the corner of Gao Yang's mouth: "Auntie doesn't eat sweets and needs to lose weight, otherwise she won't be able to get married in the future."

"When I grow up, I want to marry my aunt!" a little boy shouted.

"I want to marry my aunt too!" said another little boy.

"I want to marry my aunt!" said a little girl.

"I want it too! I want it too!" The children rushed over.

"Hahaha, when you grow up, Auntie will become an old woman."

"boom."

The hotel door closed, and all the memories of the night of his sixth birthday were sealed again in the room named "April 06, 4."

Gao Yang's face was expressionless, and a tear fell silently down his face.

He quickly turned his face away, wiped it with the back of his hand, and then took a long breath: "If you have any other tricks, just use them."

Miss Pu continued to move forward, and the wheelchair followed automatically.

"What the Thousand Dreams Corridor displays are fragments of your dreams, not real every minute and every second, so there are not so many rooms."

Gao Yang was silent.

"The foggy world is just your dream. The boundary of the foggy world is essentially the boundary of your cognition."

"The Jupiter virus crazily squeezes your brain, allowing it to construct a perfect dream. All the information, memories, experiences stored in your brain, your self, cognition, concepts, emotions, and six desires, etc., all of which make up the world of mist Brick by brick, grass and tree.”

"The information shows that you were indeed an orphan before, named Liu Li. When you were six years old, you were adopted by the Gao family and renamed Gao Yang. The family members include grandma, father, mother and sister."

"This Thousand Dreams Corridor stores everything in your dreams. In fact, strictly speaking, this is no longer your dream territory. You can understand that we have built a transfer station in your subconscious, in order to allow you to travel in the real world. There is a buffer before you wake up, so that you won’t have a nervous breakdown the moment you wake up.”

"We didn't develop this technology until two years ago. The impact suffered by patients who woke up before that was unimaginable. Most patients had forgotten the real world, but they created a perfect world based on the real world. Dream world..."

"I'll tell you the rest." Gao Yang interrupted impatiently.
