Dream Guide

Dreams are a multi-dimensional space created by consciousness. What dimensions appear depends on the memory that constructs the dream and the spiritual energy of the consciousness itself. Therefore, human dreams appear to be three-dimensional, but in essence they are a multi-dimensional space in which time and space are superimposed. However, Aoki's powerful mental power allows him to dismantle and change the rules of dreams from the perspective of his spiritual body.

The place where Aoki and Crow are now is a dimensionless zero-dimensional space. There is no exchange of matter and energy, and there is no time. No matter how long they felt here, it was just a feeling, time had no meaning here.

Zhao Pengcheng may be secretly proud of his dream at this time, or he may be slowly recovering his mental power. When his mental power recovers to a certain level, he can leave the dream.

At that time, he will wake up, and Aoki's consciousness across the table in the interview room will still be trapped in the zero space. He will look like a vegetative state who suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. The person is alive, but he will never wake up. .

"Then we can never go back?" Crow asked.

Aoki said: "Zhao Pengcheng is not in the same time and space as us now. He and we will not have any influence on each other in terms of space or time. Maybe we feel that a hundred years have passed, but he only spent one day there, or maybe he We served thirty or forty years in prison, but we only exchanged a few words."

"Fuck me!" The crow jumped and screamed, "Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, fuck... This is so scary! In the time it took us to say a few words, he spent decades in prison? Then I My elbows are getting hairy! Oh no, after decades of braised elbows... and... and Ruhua, haven't they already become an old woman? Oh, and... and you and me, we are here Where? Guagua, I mean where are our bodies now?"

"It's hard to say." Aoki said with a smile, "Maybe I have been cremated, and you... I don't know whether you will be made into a specimen or made into soup..."

The crow shook its head desperately, croaked, and sobbed: "I don't want to be cooked...quack...I'm still young...I'm still a virgin..."

It croaked, and suddenly thought of something, looked down at Qingmu and said: "Why are you looking for me? You don't just want to find a back support, let me stay here with you for centuries, until Ruhua finds a veterinarian to give me an injection Bar... Gua Gua!"

Aoki said: "I came to you because I wanted to go out."

The crow said: "How to get out? If you can get out, why don't you get out? Why are you looking for me?"

Aoki said: "Dreams cannot be closed. There is always a zero-dimensional space connected around them. Otherwise, we would not be able to enter other people's dreams so easily. I don't know what method they used to use this corridor, which is equivalent to This zero-dimensional space is visualized, or there is such a trap-like zero-dimensional space naturally. So when Zhao Pengcheng disconnected the dreamland from this zero-dimensional corridor, he thought I would be trapped here, but he didn't expect me And a bird as capable as you..."

"Quack, yes, you are right. This is the most correct sentence you have ever said in your life. I am very capable, quack!" The crow cried happily, "But... what can I do?"

Aoki said: "Have you forgotten your own abilities?"

The crow thought for a moment and said, "Besides the fact that I can find your consciousness no matter where it is, what else is there?"

Aoki said: "That's it. It shows that you can ignore spatial distance."

Crow still didn't understand: "What's the use?"

Aoki said: "My mental power cannot go out from an independent zero-dimensional space, unless this zero-dimensional space happens to float near someone's dream space, but the probability of that is higher than the probability of winning all the lottery tickets in the world. Be low. But you can, because you don’t care about the distance. Although you may not be able to accurately find another space without conscious coordinate positioning, you can travel in the nearby zero-dimensional space.”

Crow said: "You don't want me to fly around like a headless fly with you until you hit a zero-dimensional space connected to the dream of that person named Zhao Pengcheng, do you?"

Aoki said: "Well, that's pretty much what it means."

"I think it's more reliable to wait for the boss lady to take me for an injection, although it will -" Crow's butt shrank and his tail feathers trembled twice, "It hurts!"

Aoki said: "If you are in a normal dream, of course it can wake you up. But you are now in a zero-dimensional space where time does not exist, and the confusion of time and space may make this induction invalid. Moreover, you are in a zero-dimensional space where time does not exist. You can't bring my consciousness directly to the real world, and we are not in the same place. I have to return to myself from a dream."

Crow said: "But if we search through zero-dimensional spaces one by one, how long will it take to find it?"

Aoki said: "Theoretically, it may take infinite time, because you may fly farther and farther. But it doesn't matter, we have plenty of time, and here, we live the same life as the universe."

"Oh, crazy! crazy!" cried the crow.

Aoki said with a smile: "Actually, it won't take that long, because Zhao Pengcheng's dream was once connected to this place, and it will definitely leave clues. You can definitely find it as long as you pay attention. Maybe you feel that you will find it in a few hundred years."

"Quack...hundreds of years..." Crow still felt that Qingmu was crazy, "At that time, Zhao Pengcheng's tombstone would have turned into ashes. Do we have to crawl out of his tomb? So what if we get out, our own bodies will also be gone. Not even the dregs are left!"

Aoki said: "No, it won't. As long as we go back, the two time and space will be superimposed again, and the superimposed moments will affect each other, and his time will return to the moment when I left. Therefore, he must find me and leave him That place in the dream.”

"Oh, okay, okay, I hope you are right." The crow stopped talking nonsense, croaked, grabbed Aoki's hair with its claws and flew up, flying along the end of the corridor at a very fast speed.

The green wood hangs under the giant bird's claws, like a thin piece of black paper cutout, floating in the endless void.

…

Zhao Pengcheng laughed for a while in front of the mirror, then relaxed and sat down on the bench in the dressing room to rest. The scalpel fell on the edge of the bench, looking dull and losing its sharpness.

He bent down to pick up the knife, put it in the palm of his hand, and rubbed it gently with the fingers of his other hand. The blade gradually became brighter, and the thin blade regained its sharpness. After a while, the blade slowly turned red, as if it was absorbing all the surrounding light and warmth into it.

The entire dream space is getting darker, but the knife is getting brighter and brighter.

When the blade turned into a rich wine-like purple-red, the red color began to flow to Zhao Pengcheng's palm, along the visible bulging veins, and back to his heart.

The room became darker and darker, the color of the knife gradually dimmed after reaching its peak, and all the light returned to Zhao Pengcheng. His spirit returned to its original state, and his entire face was filled with confidence.

As the dream space collapsed, Zhao Pengcheng's figure also disappeared into the darkness.

Then the light returned and he woke up.

He saw sunlight shining in through the skylight of the prison interview room. Aoki, who was sitting across the table from him, had dull eyes and remained motionless, as if he had lost his soul.

The prison guard next to them was looking at them with a strange look...
