Dream Guide

Su Huilan was really a little panicked this time. She looked at Situ blankly, not knowing how to answer the question.

He is not human! He is a devil!

This was the first thought that came to her mind.

She remembered that when her father mentioned this man to her, he only said that he was the youngest genius in the alliance and the only one who could succeed or even surpass Master Nanke. However, her father never told her his name or where he came from.

My father didn't seem to care about that man's age. Logically speaking, they were contemporaries. One was Master Nanke's assistant, and that man was Master Nanke's successor. His father was already very old when he died. Didn't he think that That man deserves to grow old, so why should he reappear in his daughter's dream and let her find him?

The only explanation is that my father knew that he would not grow old.

When Su Huilan thought about it now, she suddenly felt a chill. She thought of John Oldman in "The Man from Earth" - the caveman who lived for fourteen thousand years. He will never grow old or die. In different eras, he appears in front of people with the same young face and different identities. If he doesn't tell it himself, no one will know his past.

The successor of the alliance whom Su Huilan's father met seventy years ago, the young scientist who designed the cesium atomic clock with Ethan Parry at the National Physical Laboratory in the 1950s, the Asian genius who rose to prominence at Princeton in the 1980s and was a flash in the pan, the new century At first, Mr. Leicester was obsessed with finding the successor... These people are actually the same face - the person Su Huilan saw in front of him - he has never changed.

Even if he spends most of his time hiding in the twisted space and using the effects of relativity to escape the aging brought about by time, he can't always be this young, right? Space can be distorted, scale can shrink, and time can even flow backwards, but human cells will not grow in the opposite direction.

This is not the scariest thing. The most terrifying thing is that Situ seems to know everything, even her dreams.

In front of him, Su Huilan felt like a naked baby, without any covering or strength. As long as the other party moved his fingers, he could strangle herself to death at any time. She suddenly longed for a pair of big hands that could protect her fragile body.

The people who stretched out these big hands in her mind were her father and... Aoki.

"How come you know everything!" Su Huilan tried her best to hide her panic and looked at Situ warily.

"No, I don't know everything." Situ said.

"For example, what is the origin of the universe? How many hairs does God have?" Su Huilan teased.

Situ laughed: "Every scientist has a hypothesis about the origin of the universe, and God--has no hair!"

Su Huilan chewed on the meaning of his words - is it because God has no hair because he only has a brain but no body? However, she did not continue with this question that was unlikely to have an answer, but asked: "You even know about God's hair, so what else don't you know?"

Situ said: "For example... you asked me my age just now, can you tell me how old Aoki is?"

"Qingmu..." Su Huilan suddenly realized that her knowledge of Qingmu was very limited. "I have seen his passport. It seems that he is... born in the 1990s?"

"Do you believe it?" Situ asked with a smile.

"Why don't you believe it?" Su Huilan asked.

"I also have passports, and there are more than one." Situ said, "Whether it is a passport or an ID card, they can be faked, but people's mental power cannot be faked, just like the annual rings of a tree."

"So you saw his growth rings?"

"Yes, I saw them, but I didn't count them clearly."

Su Huilan didn't know if Situ's words were a joke or if they were true. It is not difficult to count the annual rings of a tree. People with good eyesight and mental arithmetic can count them at a glance. Especially those who are awakened can remember them at a glance. They can also bring up the memory pictures in their dreams and slowly count them. Unless the tree is really old, the annual rings are dense and difficult to distinguish, and it may even be impossible to see clearly.

"He is a dreamless person. What do you think of his mental power?"

"Even if he can dream, I can't hypnotize him. To observe mental power, you don't have to enter his dream, just like you don't have to fight with him to see how strong a person is."

"You are right, but with his mental strength, even if he is watching from the side, he will be easily discovered, right? So... you are still better than him!"

Situ thought thoughtfully: "No, maybe he is just too lazy to know who is next to him."

"That's true!" Su Huilan felt the same, "Tell me about the alliance!"

"Didn't your father tell you?"

"Ever since I was sensible, he has been depressed, addicted to alcohol and hungover. All I know is in dreams, only in dreams he is awake. I saw fragments of his life, but he didn't help me Sorting out these memories has allowed me to guess what has been a mystery for decades. He reproduced your appearance in my dream, saying that you are the only person who can bring dawn to the alliance, but he did not tell me who you are."

Su Huilan stared at Situ unblinkingly, hoping to find some clues and answers from his face. Unfortunately, Situ had been as calm as a marble sculpture and could not see any inner turmoil.

"My father said before he died, 'It's too late, the ark has fallen into the abyss, and God will abandon the sinking mankind.' I don't know what those last words mean. Does it mean that mankind has fallen into a deeper dream?"

Situ did not answer Su Huilan's question, but simply said: "Your father has some difficult reasons."

Su Huilan was about to ask what the reason was, when she suddenly felt the whole island tremble. She was startled, thinking there was going to be an earthquake, but then she discovered that it was an hallucination caused by mental shock.

She raised her head and saw that the little sun in the sky had completely crawled out from behind the big sun, and the two suns had joined together to form a gourd. The gourd spits out a flame, like a fire dragon, flying in the sky.

Shengran, who had been dozing quietly, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and twisted his body uneasily.

Su Huilan vaguely saw the shadows of some leaves and branches swaying in the void high above. She rubbed her eyes and knew that it was not an optical illusion, but a mental hallucination. There was a faint fluctuation in the spiritual force field in the distance, like an invisible wind.

Situ glanced at the sky and then in the direction of the enemy camp opposite, with an incredible look on his face.

"I know what you want to ask. We can talk about this topic later." He stood up and walked towards the high slope in front of the camp. "Now, I have to go see what Aoki did."

"Qingmu?" Su Huilan vaguely guessed what happened.

Just as Situ took two steps, he suddenly turned around and tapped the cat in Su Huilan's arms with his scepter.

With a loud meow, he arched his back, his hair exploded, and he looked at the scepter in Situ's hand as if facing a formidable enemy. He raised one of his front paws, and the sharp claw tip had been opened, stopping just short of the front end of the scepter. Ten centimeters away, a low roar came from his throat.

Situ just nodded weakly, without giving the cat a chance to paw, he put away the scepter and said:

"How did you get into the body of this little yellow cat? This is not like the behavior of your old lady Cuan. She likes to be clean and will never fall in love with this fat body and yellow hair."
