Dream Guide

Mei Ziqing watched the big bird swooping over. Before she could hide, the big bird penetrated her body.

She knew very well that this was not true and that it was a function of the spirit, but she was completely unable to resist. This spiritual power was so powerful that it was beyond the reach of human beings.

A huge force pulled her out of her body.

She watched helplessly as she left her body, the space around her distorted, and strange lights appeared.

At that moment, she remembered the legend about the Holy Land.

When the last light disappeared, it was like the taillight of a spaceship traveling away at the speed of light, and she was abandoned in the depths of the universe.

Mei Ziqing soon fell into deep fear. She didn't know where she was, surrounded by endless darkness, darker than the depths of the universe. There was no light, no particles or dust, not even darkness.

She could feel her presence, but other than that, there was nothing.

This kind of fear and confusion can make people go crazy, but she can't go crazy because she has no body. Yes, although she exists, she has no body and nothing to rely on, even if she just wants to hold herself tightly with both hands.

She is just a consciousness, floating in a space without space.

There is no time here either, just eternal deathly silence.

Am I dead?

She wanted to shout.

But other than this thought, she couldn't make a sound. There are no vocal organs and no medium for sound transmission.

Floating like this, maybe for tens of thousands of years, maybe for a moment, when she finally became numb from fear and forgot about fear, she saw the faint light in the distance.

The dead heart is suddenly ignited, hope is revived, and fear is resurrected.

She struggled to run toward the light, as if she was running through an endless tunnel without lights. The light at the exit was right there, but she could never reach it.

She remembered the "Road to the Holy Land" mentioned in her father's notes, which some in the alliance also called the "Dream Corridor."

These corridors once connected all holy places, forming a spiritual network. But later, I don’t know why, this net disappeared. Those roads either disappeared or became dead ends, as if they had gone through a protracted war, leaving only devastation.

If this is a dead end, then she will never get out of this dimensionless space.

But the light ahead undoubtedly gave her hope. Because there is light, which means there is an exit.

There seemed to be countless faces flashing in the light, waiting for her, just like when she was a child, her father opened his arms in the distance, and she staggered towards her father.

The road is so long and so anxious.

"Odosan..." she called into the distance.

The father's face flickered and disappeared, replaced by the mother's, and then by someone else.

Those familiar faces flashed past one by one, and finally settled on one face.

"Professor!" she shouted softly.

As she shouted, some inexplicable connection appeared between her consciousness and the distance. She saw a bright light and the exit of the tunnel was right in front of her.

She was ecstatic and ran out.

In the dazzling white light, Mei Ziqing saw Mei Yiqiu holding a pipe and looking at her with a smile.

"Professor, are you waiting for me?" she asked.

"Follow me." The professor turned and walked away.

Mei Ziqing followed him.

Surrounded by a white world, there is nothing but white. When everything is white, there is no difference between white and black.

She seemed to be back to the time when she was looking for a way out in the endless dark void, but now with the professor leading the way, she was no longer afraid.

"Professor, where are we going?"

"You found the light from the darkness, now we are from the light, returning to the darkness."

"Why return to darkness?"

"Light and darkness are one. Without darkness, light is also darkness."

The two of them are like two shadows on a white paper, walking in a two-dimensional world.

After an unknown amount of time, a black light appeared in front of them. The black light darkened the white world and shone on them.

Mei Ziqing saw a long white figure dragging out from behind the professor.

Then, black and white merged, blurry gradients of light and shadow flowed in the space, and some three-dimensional things appeared, like someone making an ink painting on paper.

Mountains and water make up the earth, clouds and the moon smudge the sky, and under the moon are patches of woods, with gurgling water in the woods.

The running water made a tinkling sound, fish were swimming in the water, crickets were chirping in the grass, and wild flowers were laughing in their chirps.

A little bird flew across the sky, leaving behind the sound of its wings in the wind.

The sound of the wind stirred the piano hidden somewhere, and played the music of nature.

Mei Ziqing walked up the mountain, with cold stone steps covered with moss at her feet.

She had never breathed such fresh air, never felt such comfort and comfort.

"Professor, where is this?" she asked.

"This is my dream." Mei Yiqiu said.

"Your dream..." Mei Ziqing suddenly understood, "This is the dream guide. This is your world that you built in the dream guide. It turns out that your dream is so beautiful!"

"Everyone's dream is beautiful."

"What about nightmares?"

"Nightmares, those are the sins of the human heart!" The professor said, "People without sins will not have nightmares."

"Is there such a person in the world? Except you."

"Me? No, I also have sins hidden deep in my heart."

"But your dreams are so beautiful!"

"That's just what you see."

"What about what I didn't see?"

"over there--"

The mountain road came to an end and they came to the top of the mountain. The professor pointed to the back of the mountain and said.

Mei Ziqing saw that the place was crowded with dark clouds, and lightning was like a white snake crawling in the dark clouds.

A bridge composed of iron cables and wooden planks stretches out from the cliff on the top of the mountain and goes deep into the clouds. It is unknown where it leads.

"Want to take a look?" Mei Yiqiu turned around and asked as she stepped onto the bridge.

Curiosity drove Mei Ziqing, burrowing into her consciousness like a bug. She had long wanted to peek into the professor's dream, but she had never succeeded.

"Okay, what could be there?"

She followed the professor onto the overpass and walked tremblingly into the dark clouds.

Soon, dark clouds enveloped her body and lightning crawled around her.

She saw a towering castle ahead, with a chain bridge leading to the castle tower.

The moment they stepped onto the tower, the dark clouds disappeared, the sky became clear again, and the bridge behind them disappeared.

A lonely castle floating between heaven and earth.

Looking from the tower, you can see countless wonders and wonders. She couldn't even describe them.

Those bizarre worlds seem to be connected into a whole, and each one seems to be independent.

She can see every detail clearly and see the owner of each independent small world.

So, she saw Bian Ziyuan and Cronus.

"I understand, this is not your nightmare, Professor, this is the center of the Dream Guide - the area that I have always wanted to open but could not." Mei Ziqing suddenly said.

"Yes, this is the Core of Dreams. But you may not know that it also has a name." Mei Yiqiu paused, the pipe in his mouth suddenly lit up with sparks, and a wisp of white smoke overflowed from the corner of his mouth. .

"It's called Sin City."
