The sun shines through the window into the room.

Chen Xing, who was sleeping on the sofa, frowned and gradually woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around blankly.

What you see is the familiar room, the wallpaper with flying cherry blossom petals, the tripod piano beside the bed, the light green floral curtain, small round tables and chairs, cheap printed oil paintings hanging on the wall, antique plywood wall clocks... …

The dream last night was so real that after he woke up, he still couldn't distinguish between the dream and the reality. He even suspected that the self in the dream was the real self, and now, it was just a dream of him.

He sat on the sofa, staring at the small building outside the window in a daze. A middle-aged woman in pajamas was drying her clothes on the rooftop, with a cigarette in her mouth, and her movements were casual and somewhat unruly.

Over time, the dull mind gradually recovered. He grabbed his hair, thought for a long time, and finally cleared his thoughts.

Last night, he dreamed of himself in the past. But the memory is very vague, as if everything in the dream is covered with a layer of mist, only the outline can be seen clearly, and the vague voice can be heard.

After waking up, there are only two pieces of information that can be clearly remembered.

The fire in Crow City, the time in the black watch.

Dr2616-3-12, that was the second year he joined the Leiguang Group, and his place should be a bar in a post town.

Strangely, he has no deep memory of the fire in Crow City. He is just a low-level mercenary, with no relatives, no friends, and no related interests in Crow City. For him, it was just a piece of news that he had accidentally seen many years ago, and he would not care about it at all.

But he remembered it, and after many years, he could still dream clearly, which is a bit beyond common sense. But then again, things that involve the subconscious are difficult even for science to explain.

Under normal circumstances, there are two types of memory. One is "conscious memory", in which humans actively remember something or something through subjective consciousness; the other is "unconscious memory", also known as "subconscious memory". "Memory" refers to the inactive and unconscious memory of human beings. For example, children learning language is an inactive and instinctive memory. In addition, there are lifestyle habits, interpersonal interactions, etc., which all produce unconscious memories.

The only explanation at the moment is that he accidentally wrote down relevant information and returned in the form of a dream many years later.

Subsequently, the memory of the fire in Crow City, like a key, unlocked other related memories.

He recalled that Su Xuefei once said to him that the reason why their mother and daughter left Crow City was because of a sudden fire, which burned down the industry they had accumulated for many years.

She said that their mother and daughter were very lucky to escape. Millions of people died in the fire and were burnt to coke. Most of the crow city was burned down and reduced to rubble.

Then Chen Xing remembered that the crow city in later generations was not called this name, but "crow market".

As the memory opened, a new doubt gradually surfaced.

There is no cause of the fire in his memory. It stands to reason that this was an event that shocked Hongguo, and it was one of the four major cities of the Red Dragon Principality, but his brain was aching, and he didn't think of any relevant clues.

It's as if this fire was unprovoked. Or in other words, everyone chose to remain silent.

He thought for a while, and didn't have a clue, he didn't think about it anymore.

Although dreaming of such a thing is a bit weird, but after all, it has nothing to do with him. Although he is now in Crow City, the fire is three years later. Three years later, he probably has enjoyed life in Qianfan Port, or died in a corner.

He grabbed his hair and wanted to get up to wash, but at this moment, he noticed that there was an abnormal movement in Linghai, and he immediately gathered his mind and sank his thoughts into Linghai.

The personal domain is the projection of psionic energy in consciousness, which is closely related to the ontology. Any slight change will be immediately noticed.

So, what is the personal realm, and how is it formed?

To explain this problem, one must first explain the psionic energy and the spiritual body.

Psionic energy was interpreted by the scholars of Ivory City as "a special biological energy". In a broad sense, it is the same as electrical energy and thermal energy. It is a kind of energy, and it exists in the void in large quantities.

In a narrow sense, psychic energy is fundamentally different from electrical energy and thermal energy. It is a kind of biological energy, closely related to life. Any creature, flowers, plants, trees, snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and beasts, will produce psionic energy from the beginning of life.

Psionic energy is the carrier of biological spirit, and the body is the carrier of psychic energy. Its form is close to what people call "soul", but it is not exactly.

In the process of biosynthesizing psionic energy, the life imprint of the body will be branded. When life ends, these parts of psychic energy will be attracted to each other because of the common imprint of life, forming an aggregate, which scholars call "spiritual body".

Tend to be more powerful creatures

, The psionic aggregate will be stronger.

But the spirit body is not the soul, and it cannot develop continuously. Because after the end of life, it is no longer possible to synthesize new psionic energy with the imprint of life. This process is like the hematopoietic function of mammals, losing the supplementary spiritual body, and can only gradually dissipate into the void, turning into pure psychic energy with the imprint of inanimate life.

When the spiritual energy in the body reaches a certain density, humans can "see" their own spiritual body. This is the personal realm.

Chen Xing's consciousness entered the Linghai, and soon discovered that there was a seventh rune suspended in the sky. It is translucent, looming, with a weak sense of existence.

Upon contact, a large amount of information flooded into his mind, and Chen Xing immediately understood its role.

He named this ability "memory backtracking". Under the traction of a certain opportunity, the memory in the subconscious will reappear in the dream.

This rune is located on the back side of the "danger perception" and is placed very close to each other, like two playing cards, which seems to be an extended ability of danger perception.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Xing fell into a new round of contemplation.

If memory backtracking is an extended ability to perceive danger, it means that the appearance of dreams indicates danger.

In his previous life, he had read a lot of information related to danger perception to understand his own abilities.

The ability to perceive danger is classified as "prophecy." By perceiving the law of operation of everything, predict the short future of a certain time and a certain space, so as to avoid danger.

If it weren't for this ability, Chen Xing, who had low attributes and a high-risk career as a mercenary, would have difficulty living in this cruel world for fifteen years.

So, what is the direct or indirect relationship between the fire in Crow City and him?

This question was too big to think about. Chen Xing thought about it for ten minutes before giving up completely.

That's it, life and death are determined by the destiny...

He was a man for three generations. Although he had always cherished his life, he never felt how precious he was or how he should be.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing happily went into the bathroom to wash, and then went to eat breakfast.
