Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"Kangdang—"

The heavy impact hit the back unstoppably, and the internal organs seemed to hit the throat at the same time, blocking the breath. Immediately, dense wooden thorns pierced into the flesh and blood again. It's like thousands of ants climbing up the body and biting the skin.

The broken chair fell down with me and hit the ground, and I fell to my knees in pain. The knee hit the ground heavily, feeling as if it was about to shatter, and it was generally uncontrollable.

Strange to say, what I care about at this time is not the pain I have suffered, but the faint memories that entangle my consciousness.

The sense of sight is clamoring to me, and this scene is not the first time I see it.

"Tell me how you woke up from the dream."

From a distance came the professor's voice without emotion but with a passionate tone.

I clenched my fists to support my body, and with great effort broke a broken plank against the base of my thigh and threw it aside.

And the back of the chair still binds me, wrapping around my hands.

I don't understand how the professor has such abnormal power. But in my heart I still resist answering his question.

Maybe I want to use the answer as a bargaining chip to allow us to escape, or maybe I simply don't want to put myself in a too passive and dominated position.

If everything is obeyed by the professor, I don't know how I will be tortured by him in the future.

At least retain some of your own dominance in order to negotiate with him.

However, Lin Yu's actions exceeded my expectations——

"Okay... I'd be happy to reveal the answer for you."

Lin Yu put on a nonchalant expression, apparently intending to tell the professor the answer to this question.

"It's actually very simple. As long as you are shaken strongly or have obsession with waking up, you can wake up easily."

I stared at Lin Yu who was pushed against the wall by the professor with wide eyes in disbelief.

Thought he was the same as me, thought he wouldn't compromise so easily. I was disappointed and knew that there was nothing I could do, so I had no choice but to lower my stubborn gaze.

"That's right..."

The enthusiasm on the professor's face faded little by little, and gradually turned into supreme joy. He let go of Lin Yu, laughed and opened his arms. As if bathed in the grace of the Holy Light.

"I see! Five of the twelve honored guests mentioned the war of domination in their dreams all day long, and they didn't resist or struggle too much when they were tied here...It turns out that they no longer have any hope of reality. Hope, just let yourself go and imprison yourself in a dream!"

I don't know if it's the sequelae of the domination war, but when I hear the number "12", my eyes will vibrate instinctively. I have a vague suspicion that there is a clock in the cracks in the dream, and the 12 rulers of the clock are all imprisoned in this place on this side of reality... and the more I think about it, the more likely it becomes.

"It's not a problem with my facilities at all!! The "Dream Image Recording System" is a perfect experiment, and it can be pushed to a finished product!! It really made me worry for nothing, and those sisters are too naive , Even this kind of information is hidden from me, and you want to use this kind of thing as a bargaining chip in the negotiation, it’s too much to fool me.”

Inadvertently, I felt that the professor was implying that I had thought the same way, warning me that it was useless to do so.

"Professor... Now, what should we do with them?"

"'Disposal'?!" The professor's mood became angry in an instant, and he lowered his arms, "Damn! This kind of word...you are simply insulting my distinguished guest!"

"..."

As if they didn't know how to answer, or maybe they were too lazy to cooperate with his acting, the men in suits couldn't help but looked at each other, and finally responded with silence.

"Stop staring blankly! My God! Don't you see that the sky is almost dawn? Why don't you send the distinguished guests back quickly? Mr. Lin Yu, what do you think?"

Lin Yu nodded politely when he heard this, and then the rope between his hands and the strange girl was cut off, freeing him from the bondage. Lin Yu couldn't help moving his hands and turning his wrists. After a few seconds, I was roughly picked up. As the rope was disconnected, it was pulled down feebly, and the back of the chair fell heavily to the ground.

The men standing on both sides of me dragged me to the door, and Lin Yu who was next to me hurriedly supported me who almost fell to the ground.

"Remember. Never enter the room later."

Lin Yu wrapped my arms around his neck, giving me support to stand up, and whispered to me and the girl next to me.

I suddenly opened my eyes wide and looked at him in confusion, but he looked at the front with a smile on his face as if nothing had happened, making one wonder if he really said what he just said. I realized he must have a reason for saying that. So I secretly made preparations in my heart. But at this moment, the professor stopped us.

"Ah, yes...Miss Xue Xueer, please stay here first, I have some things I left before and haven't finished talking to you yet."

I noticed that Lin Yu's expression suddenly changed, but fortunately, his back was facing the professor. He frowned, but seemed to have made up his mind. He exchanged a glance with Xue Xueer, and then met the professor's gaze and helped me out of the room. Six men in suits followed us closely in two groups, for fear that we would have the idea of ​​fleeing.

During the seven long years, if the black cat and Xiao Lulu wanted to escape, they would definitely find a gap. Maybe there were other constraints that forced them to stay here. And "this heavy bondage" they haven't had time to attach to us, but it will definitely be our turn soon... So if you want to escape, you must take advantage of this time.

All the way to the door of Lin Yu's room, he gently let go of my arm, his eyes clearly implying that I should not forget what he said just now.

I froze for a moment, and responded to him with my eyes, so I endured the pain and stood firm, and walked towards my room step by step.

Now I can only trust Lin Yu, believe that he will not be the type to compromise with others casually, and believe that he has his own reasons for his actions just now.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go in?!"

After a while, a stern reprimand sounded from behind Lin Yu. And at this time I have come to the door of my room. I gritted my teeth and mustered up the courage to stop at the door.

"Hey, do you really treat yourself as VIPs and think we won't do anything?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud noise like an explosion outside the door. The huge waves in the air brought thick smoke and dust into the hall outside the corridor. This time, the two groups of people standing behind me and Lin Yu finally noticed the abnormality. They all looked towards the entrance of the corridor with vigilance almost at the same time, and pointed the guns in their hands at the same time.

After a brief silence, a young girl's voice sounded at the right time, as if the footsteps containing terrifying courage stopped at the corner.

"Idiot~ of course it's delaying time, is there another reason?"

"Tsk..."

The leading man immediately gave instructions to the people beside him, and stepped forward cautiously. As a result, the moment he just walked to the entrance of the corridor, a sharp kick hit his chest fiercely, the long blond hair spread out in the air after turning around, and the man's figure was pushed away by an unbelievable force Looking towards the wall more than ten meters away, I vaguely felt him brushing past me from behind, and finally hit the wall at the end hard, and fell to the ground with a muffled "Ah" in his mouth.

Perhaps this scene was too unbelievable, the guards were slow to react to the threat. Everyone's guns were trying to aim at the girl who was rushing over, but the pulled trigger did not trigger the deflagrating bullets, as if the bullets disappeared out of thin air. A smile flickered across the corner of the girl's mouth, and she swiftly dodged the dagger that was swung at her, but the palm of her hand hit the man's chest and sent him flying.

"it's your turn."

The girl dropped those words abruptly from her mouth. The leading man suddenly understood something, his eyes turned away from the girl running towards me, and turned to the entrance of the corridor in an instant. But even so, it was too late, and another figure that appeared at an unknown time had already launched an offensive.

The brown-haired girl quickly raised her knees, slammed the leading man's face, and then easily threw him towards the wall. The moment her feet hit the ground, she squatted down again, and whipped her leg towards Lin Yu's back. The man's back knee swept across and knocked him down.

"I said... didn't you say that you can't exert your power to control reality around here?"

"Hey, but I never said I wouldn't come to save you~ I'm still waiting for your return gift~"

The tea cat tilted its head slightly, revealing a pair of bright and charming eyes. For some reason, Lin Yu's expression suddenly became uneasy. The tea cat completely ignored Lin Yu's unnaturalness, grabbed Lin Yu's arm intimately, and led him to escape to the corridor. The man thrown to the ground by the tea cat wanted to stop them, but Lin Yu immediately raised his foot and stepped on his face with all his weight.

"The bullet is your fault, right? If we leave, what about Su Ruoyang, Xiao Lulu and the others?"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lulu and the others...there's really nothing we can do now. But Su Ruoyang, don't worry~ The person who saved him has passed away, hasn't he?"

The sound gradually faded away, and their figures had disappeared around the corner. But the commanding man still didn't give up. He stood up with difficulty while leaning on the wall, clutching his chest and coughing hard.

"Cough...!! Go find backup to stop them, we must not let that guy take away the professor's experimenter!"

"You, do you still have the energy to care about that side?"

The ethereal voice seemed to ring in my ears. I suddenly turned around, only to see Su Huilin tilting her head in confusion.

Probably deceived by her harmless appearance, the man was stunned for a moment, but in the next second Su Huilin raised his elbow and hit the opponent's cheek neatly, and the opponent had no room to resist at all, directly following the direction He slammed into the wall with force. Su Huilin chased after him, jumped up and stepped on his chest, this blow immediately drove away his flesh and blood, and penetrated his chest. The man immediately slid along the wall and fell to the ground.

"This guy...!"

Gunshots erupted with the words. It seems that due to the departure of the tea cat, the missing bullets have recovered. The reflection from the muzzle of the gun flashed across the air in an instant, approaching Su Huilin at an unstoppable speed. On the contrary, Su Huilin stepped forward to close the distance, dodged the bullets in an extremely dangerous position, and then continued to move forward, and he was in front of the opponent in an instant.

At the same time, the man pulled the trigger again, and a dazzling spark exploded from the muzzle of the gun, which exploded almost close to her cheek, passing through her hair, and finally embedded in the wall behind.

The joy of success flitted over the corner of Su Erin's mouth, as if she was enjoying it, she clenched her fist and smashed it neatly at the other's chest.

It was a posture of piercing the heart, tearing out the flesh and blood and piercing through the chest. The fact is indeed the case, that unbelievable strange force destroyed the opponent's body and disappeared.

Without half a second of hesitation, Su Huilin took a few steps forward and approached the next target. The force of the feet that stepped on the ground left spider web-like cracks. She easily staggered the bullets as if playing dodgeball, so she grabbed the next person's cheek with her outstretched hand, fear fainted in that person's eyes, and the more intensified force announced his death sentence in advance, the sound of bones cracking Accompanied by his shattered jaw.

The scary thing is that this may actually only happen in microseconds. Her speed was so fast that those people didn't have time to react in just a few seconds.

Perhaps in order to change the situation, two people launched an assault from the rear, which only increased Su Huilin's power by dozens of levels, and only made the death of the person she restrained with one hand even more distorted. She turned to the rear at a speed that I couldn't catch at all, smashing the explosion-proof shield in front of her with one palm.

When she realized it again, her two white and slender hands had pinched the necks of the two of them respectively, and lifted them up in the air with a strange force. In the end, she simply stepped up her strength, directly cut off their necks, and threw them to the sides. The man fell hard on the sensor door, making a "bang" sound.

Immediately afterwards, there were chaotic footsteps in the distance.

It should be the backup that the commander mentioned just now among them, with guns in their hands. Su Huilin turned around to face the heavily armed guards, and then approached them briskly and with ease.

For some reason the guards delayed shooting at her, as if waiting for an opportunity. When Su Huilin approached them to a certain distance, several of them suddenly pulled away the tough iron chains, ran to both sides of Su Huilin to form a circle, and then quickly tightened the iron chains to bind Su Huilin's body.

It seemed that he wanted to capture her alive. They clung tightly to the chains, seemingly flawlessly embedded in her body, and they should be able to sink into her skin, but Su Erin's body has not had any scars for a long time. I don't know where Su Huilin's strength came from. She seemed to have sensed their intentions and didn't care at all. She easily stretched her slender arms and broke the chain with one fell swoop, while the guards stepped on them with all their might. Touching the ground, he tightened his strength more and more, but was only unilaterally suppressed by the girl's strength, pushing the ground to get closer to her in an instant.

Unexpectedly, they did not have the slightest advantage in this tug-of-war of power, and the shackles formed by the iron chain gradually loosened. In the end, Su Huilin just grabbed the iron chain lightly, and yanked it back fiercely. Pulling the iron chain and all the guards away from the spot in an instant and dragging them into the air, Su Huilin dragged them closer to her. Immediately afterwards, she broke the iron chain and grabbed both ends and flung it forward, instead using this to bind the guards in the cage formed by her arms and the iron chain.

She put her elbows on the neck of the man closest to her, and took a step back with her jade feet to drive the iron chain for strength. The moment a coquettish sound came out of his mouth, the violent force directly locked everyone's throats with chains, and the strange force under his feet directly crushed the ground. The guards were holding on to the chain tightly, struggling to release their breath, but she suddenly handed over the two sections of the chain, the strength in her hand followed her mouth with another coquettish cry, and the chain, which could not bear the heavy load, instantly It snapped with a snap, and at the same time choked out the breathing of all those bound within it.

What's even more inconceivable is that her whole body seemed to burst out with an extremely superb internal force, breaking down the seemingly indestructible walls around her in an instant. All the objects half a meter away from her were instantly involved in that internal force and disappeared.

Su Huilin let go of her hand lightly, and the guards who were ejected by the strange force fell powerlessly to the ground. The three guards who didn't join them just now seemed to shoot indiscriminately out of fear, but Su Huilin approached them in the next second. I didn't see her movements clearly with my naked eyes, only that she slapped her first. Smashing one person's jaw, smashing his fully armed body to pieces, and then grabbing the second person's hair, pushing his knee up and hitting his cheek, and she threw him to the wall, just like that Throw it into the wall and embed it.

The last person was pushed to the wall step by step by her, Su Huilin pinched his head and directly stepped him into the ground with brute force.

During this period, the man standing behind me kept pulling me back until I reached the end. So far, he was the only one left.

Facing Su Huilin who approached with absolute oppression, he smacked his tongue in extreme pain, and he had no other choice, so he suddenly put the gun on the back of my head, "You... If you dare If I come here, I will...!!"

The man then strangled my neck severely. His threat obviously had an effect, Su Erin's pace stopped in place, but her eyes became more and more cold.

The atmosphere of stalemate fell silently between us. I could clearly hear the sound of the man swallowing his saliva, and I could feel his hand holding the gun trembling constantly, and the muzzle of the gun was still trembling against my hair. When I faced this situation for the first time, I inevitably lost my voice and response for a short time.

Right now. In the room next to us, the sensor door was suddenly gently pushed open, revealing a dark crack in the door. The faint voice seemed to penetrate the hearts of everyone, breaking the silence at this moment——

"It's been a long time since it's so lively~ It just happens to be my free time~"

"You witch... don't disturb me again—"

Before the man could finish his words, she kicked open the iron sensor door, knocking him hard against the wall. The pistol was also knocked to the ground by this. Su Huilin took advantage of this moment and immediately rushed towards the man, the anger in her eyes obviously wanted to kill him. She stopped not far in front of him, swung her right leg sharply, as if she was about to kick his head, but unexpectedly, the black cat who had just rescued stopped in front of the man, squatted down and blocked it with her arm This hit.

Kicking and kicking the black cat's body made her retreat several meters, but she didn't fall to the ground. The situation where no one could parry Su Huilin's blow just now was broken by the black cat.

But the black cat just blocked the blow. She stood up with some difficulty, her hanging arms seemed to tremble slightly, and she obviously didn't seem to be okay.

It seemed to be the sound of bones breaking.

"Um, can you please stop hindering me?"

Su Huilin's tone was still very cold, as if she was suppressing her anger. But the black cat didn't mean to compromise. Instead, she asked Su Huilin with deep meaning with her trademark strange smile.

"You can already escape, so there is no need to kill them all?"

As if he didn't expect the black cat to say this, the fierce light in Su Huilin's eyes disappeared a lot. And I finally recovered from the strong shock.

"Li... Xiao Rin... why are you here?"

"I should ask you that, right?"

Su Huilin's answer took me by surprise. I took a closer look and found that her expression was not as usual, even though she lost her fierce light, her eyes were still too cold, which made me feel palpitations.

"Why didn't you tell me and get involved in such a dangerous thing? As I said, you should discuss with me about anything, at least tell me."

I suddenly understood why Su Huilin was so brooding. After all, I didn't tell her about my participation in the domination war before. She also warned me to tell her about any dangerous things in the future.

Although I briefly told her about the collective nightmare this time, but——

"This time it was really an accident...!"

Before I could finish my words, Su Erin took a few steps closer and pushed me against the wall. Her lavender pupils reflected disappointment, and her eyes fell on my face coldly. A few strands of messy hair hung down her cheeks, and the bloodstains that hadn't dried up remained on her snow-white skin, making her look particularly conspicuous. The scene at this moment is as familiar as a memory reappearance.

"Is that your excuse?"

"No... Listen, we were just staying outside to observe the situation, but I don't know why they found us... It was really an accident."

I understood that she was far more angry this time than last time, so I tried my best to make her understand the actual situation and told her a lot. Fortunately, she carried out her usual style and would listen to all my explanations no matter what. I briefly explained the reason as quickly as possible, Su Huilin stared straight at my eyes and was stunned for a moment, the coldness in his eyes finally dissipated a lot, revealing the worry hidden behind the cold disguise.

"Is...is that so?"

I nodded my head and looked her in the eyes. The black cat on the side leaned against the wall, opened one eye, and looked at us playfully.

"Hey, you should leave here as soon as possible, right?"

"That's right. Thank you for today."

Su Erin didn't seem to ask me any more because of her words, she hurriedly held my hand and was about to leave, but I was concerned about one thing.

"Wait——that, Black Cat, why don't you take this opportunity and come with us!"

As soon as the words finished, the black cat's expression froze for a few seconds, and then there seemed to be gentle water flowing in her eyes, and the pool of water trembled after hearing these words. Then, the bright sunlight reflected the water in her eyes again. But in the end she leaned forward and walked into her room. Noticed that her left hand was hanging by her side, as if she still couldn't move freely.

"No. The curse that binds me has not yet been lifted, and escaping like this will only drag you down."

The black cat turned its back to me, politely declined my offer, and shook the handcuff on its right hand, making it make a crisp sound.

"But you and Xiao Lulu..."

"Don't worry~ I'll figure it out on my own. Besides, I've been imprisoned for seven years, so it won't matter if I wait a little longer~ right?"

This time I don't know how to answer, I just leave the throbbing pain in my heart. The black cat then gently closed the door.

I sighed, turned around and ran outside with Su Huilin.

"Hey, Rin, I asked you a long time ago..."

Su Huilin froze for a moment, her slender hair covered her profile.

"What did you ask?"

"When did you learn martial arts, and why are you so good at it? It's even so strong that it makes me feel a little unreasonable?"

The scene just now really baffled me. I have only seen such scenes in martial arts novels. But Su Erin somehow avoided my gaze, she clenched her fist lightly.

"Is it common sense?" Su Erin repeated the word, and looked at me again, "You actually asked me when...?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but this smile seemed a little insincere in her eyes.

"You don't even remember this kind of thing, do you?" Su Huilin sank her head, and then said lightly, "We used to learn together, but you are not interested, so you quit first."

"Learned together? Then why didn't I know?"

I couldn't help being stunned for a while, could this also be related to the past that I had forgotten?

"Anyway...you quit after only learning a few corners, because you're not interested. I can't explain the rest. As for the reason why I'm at this level...you might not believe me if you tell me."

The ground outside the corridor was full of broken marks, and the collapsed ceiling seemed about to fall down at any time. Shards of glass were everywhere.

"It started when I had a dream."

"In the dream, someone claimed to be the creator of this world... She said, all of these are gifts for me. However, obviously this gift can only work in reality. Here, it seems to be incomplete Reality seems to be biased towards the dream world, maybe it is the junction of the two. Therefore, I am unable to exert all the effects that the creator bestowed upon me..."

Gift? Creator? What does this all mean?

But Su Huilin didn't seem to be teasing me, but was very serious. And the "only works in reality" in her mouth reminds me of Su Erin's encounter with the Dark Knight in her dream not long ago, and she was at a disadvantage when fighting against him. I always feel that her unilateral suppression at that time is inseparable from what she said now. It's just that she said that she can't give full play now, so I really can't imagine how terrible her prime state is.

"Anyway, I'm much stronger than you imagined. Your sister may not be as gentle as you imagined."

Su Huilin smiled wryly, the color in her eyes made me feel a little inexplicably distressed for some reason.

Suddenly, she remembered when she was still in junior high school. For a while, she often went out to fight, and sometimes there were bloodstains on her clothes when she came back. At the time I thought it was her own blood, but now that I think about it it might not be. In connection with the incident of the origin of the title of "bad girl" in high school, perhaps the rumored things are not completely fictional.

Noticing Su Huilin's sad eyes, I just wanted to continue to ask, but I noticed a familiar figure at the elevator door, leading many people in dark trench coats into it. This made me stop involuntarily, temporarily put this topic aside, and switched to more important topics.

"Little Rin, did you come with Dad?"

Su Huilin's gaze suddenly became a little hesitant, and his expression seemed even more embarrassed. When she is asked to do something by others, she will show this strange expression.

"Yes, it is."

Her answer made my heart skip a beat. In an instant, many voices that concerned me reverberated in my mind——

That day in front of the TV, I had an inadvertent conversation with my dad...

"Core Research Association... what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just thought I had a friend there."

Also, not long ago, Dad said to me in Su Huilin's room:

"Su Luoyang... I don't want you to have anything to do with the person in your dream."

At this moment, I suddenly understood something, and wanted to turn around and follow up in the direction of the elevator, but Su Erin held my hand tightly and shook her head at me with a pleading look.

"Come with me... It's dangerous to stay here!"

"Hey... Su Eirin," I couldn't help showing a helpless smile, "You're really not good at deceiving people."

Su Huilin naturally didn't expect me to say that, her face was full of astonishment after being seen through.

"This place should be safe for the time being. If it's dangerous, then it's impossible for you to stay here patiently and persuade me...you will definitely drag me out without saying anything."

When I said this, I only paused for a short while, and then I translated everything that came to my mind into words——

"When Dad advised us to draw a line between dreams and dreams that day, I started to care about it... plus the fact that the Taoyuan Bar he used to go to was the Xinghai Tavern in the Dream World, and now he is familiar with you Come here to save me... How could I ignore all this easily! Ah, let me guess, did he still ask you to take me away immediately after saving me?"

Apparently I hit the target accurately, Su Erin's hand trembled suddenly, and lost a lot of strength in holding my hand hesitantly. Gradually, her eyes became somewhat helpless.

"Su Luoyang, why do you want to remember your past so much?"

"Then I ask you—can I be irresponsible for past mistakes because I can't remember something?"

What I said made Su Huilin startled again, she bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes moved me a little, but I know that I must not compromise with her now. She finally let go of my hand.

"I'll wait for you here." As she spoke, she turned around and leaned against the wall, making the iconic stance with her right foot stepped back on the wall, "but don't I ask about your past. I won't stop you, but I won't tell you anything either."

I nodded, expressing my gratitude silently, turned around and pressed the button to enter the elevator. The feeling of weightlessness makes me feel that everything that happened is a little unreal. Sometimes reality is even more absurd than dreams, which is unbelievable. Unknowingly, there was a "ding" sound, and the door was pulled open to both sides, and a pair of eyes as clear as the blue sea came into view.

"You're still here. I know Su Erin can't stop you."

Xia Yinci's voice sounded weak. She folded her arms and looked at me quietly. Pulling open the elevator door and intending to close it, I quickly stretched out my hand to stick to the edge of the door, blocking the obstructing door.

"Are you waiting for me here just to convince me to give up everything I remember?"

"Yes~ I have always wanted to prevent you from accessing the memories of the past. I have always been the one who least wants you to remember. But..."

As she spoke, she took a step closer to me, hung her half-clenched little hand in front of my forehead, and suddenly stretched out her index finger to flick my forehead. I couldn't help but leaned back and covered my forehead.

"I'm also the one I want you to remember the most. It's contradictory~ I think so too."

After saying these unclear words, with a mysterious smile on her face, she suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the elevator. Following this force, I gradually approached her, looked at Xia Yinci who was sincerely raising her eyebrows in disbelief, and was finally hugged tightly by her. I put my hands in the air, feeling a little at a loss.

"Thank you. Although I ran to such a dangerous place to save me, thank you~"

I widened my eyes, and couldn't help but flicker left and right. Xia Yinci didn't know if it was intentional, her small face was pressed against my chest, like a little girl rubbing against a doll.

"No... I was brought here by them, and there are many other people involved in the collective nightmare, so I didn't come here specially for you!"

"Oh, is that so?" Xia Yinci raised her head and smiled at me. It's like I've seen through what's going on in my mind. My throat was a little itchy, and I couldn't speak when I watched her. She stopped looking at me, but gently sent me away, said "Let's go", and walked forward along the corridor. I inexplicably had the idea of ​​holding her hand, but Xia Yinci took my hand before I could do it, and the two walked forward one after the other.

"Hey...if something weird happens to me later, whatever it is...it wasn't my intention."

"It fits your style of words again—it's far-fetched and refuses to explain at all."

What I saw was Xia Yinci's back, she didn't look back because of my words... Under the coolness from her palm, she pressed my tiger's mouth with her thumb.

"Yeah......"

"However, even though you won't say anything, I will do my best to believe you."

Xia Yinci still didn't respond, but just walked forward with a sullen head, holding my hand a little harder. After walking for some time, Xia Yinci stopped.

Not far away is the only room with a door, a plain brown wooden door. Two men in suits stood on either side of the door. As soon as Xia Yinci pulled me over and walked over, the man standing on the right side with a plunging head recognized me and stopped me with suspicious eyes.

"You kid... I remember the professor told you to go back just now. I didn't receive any instructions from him to ask you to come here..."

While speaking, Dabei put his hand on my shoulder. I couldn't help clenching my fists anxiously because of this, I didn't expect to be targeted by them here. But suddenly I found that Xia Yinci let go of my hand. At the same time, I vaguely heard Xia Yinci murmured Qianyan's name beside me, and I quickly looked at her sharply, but she seemed to be a different person, and returned my cold eyes.

"If something strange happens to me later..."

The voice in my head is echoing——

Xia Yinci suddenly took a step forward, stretched out her palm and pressed it against the chest of the man who came closer. In the next second, the man was pushed ten meters away by a huge force, and fell to the ground hard.

"...No matter what happened, it was not my intention."

"Hey! What are you doing—"

The red-haired man on the left stepped forward quickly, but before he could touch Xia Yinci, he was pushed towards the wall by a terrifying force. However, everything was not over yet, his body continued to squeeze back, and finally made a loud noise, and he was embedded in the wall behind him. From the beginning to the end, Xia Yinci just waved her arm back, such a simple action, that's all.

"Tsk. Xia Yinci's body and strength are too difficult to control."

"Xia Yinci" with strangely cold eyes seemed to have noticed my gaze, and looked at me playfully.

Probably because she thought my strange expression was very interesting, she stretched out her slender index finger and slid across my cheek provocatively, her fingertip paused briefly on my chin, and then gently put her hand down.

At this time, the hoarse coughing sound attracted my attention—the big back lying in the distance tried to get up with his head on the ground, but he didn't expect bright red blood to spurt out of his mouth suddenly. He also lost his strength in an instant, and fell down stiffly, staining the pure white floor with a bright red color. I looked at "Xia Yinci" who was silently watching in disbelief, and suddenly her eyes reminded me of another person.

"You're not Xia Yinci..."

"Then who am I?"

The other party took my words freely, and slowly moved his face closer, staring at me lazily with bright eyes. I swallowed in horror.

"You are... Qianyan..."

"Yeah. You still recognize me. Should I tell you that I'm touched at a time like this?"

Although Qianyan said so, she seemed too lazy to talk to me at all. She stretched out Xia Yinci's right hand and looked carefully, then met my gaze and walked towards the man embedded in the wall just now.

"Hey. Let me experiment with you."

After explaining the unknown situation to the other party, she grabbed his shoulder without saying a word. As if she wanted to try the limits of what she could do with Xia Yinci's body, she frowned and clenched her fists tightly, and the bones collided with each other and made a sound, which suddenly cut through the man's remaining calm, and he couldn't help but lose his voice shouted out.

"Shut up."

Probably Qianyan didn't want to attract attention, so she quickly waved her hand and slapped him. But then the man's head turned to one side at a strange angle, almost on the verge of separation.

"Sure enough, it's hard to control her strength. She must not have exercised normally, and it's hard to control her strength."

The almost distorted appearance of the man stuck in the wall made his stomach feel sick. I hurriedly staggered my gaze, and at the same time asked Qianyan:

"Hey! Why are you in Xia Yinci's body?!"

"You're troublesome. You think I'm willing to help you?"

Qianyan turned her head slightly, and glanced at me as if she felt troublesome. Fortunately, she didn't do anything to me like before.

Seeing me staring at her unwillingly, she sighed softly and complained feebly:

"Forget it. If she doesn't say anything, I will be troubled if you misunderstand me. Tsk. I am obviously very concerned about being misunderstood by you, troublesome guy."

Having said that, she shook her index finger helplessly, and put on an expression of "I'll just say it once, if you don't hear it, you will blame yourself".

"It was Xia Yinci who begged me in the morning. Let me help you in times of danger."

"Why?"

Qianyan sighed again, and turned to the man in disgust. She carefully used the opponent's body to conduct "research" and answered me:

"On the stage the other day. I used her body to say a series of things like 'If you don't want to die now, I advise you to get out immediately'. She asked me to help you as compensation to her, and I happened to be fine. "

"So once in a dream, Xia Yinci also said something that didn't fit Lin Yu's style... Was it you that time too?"

"Oh yes."

He answered me rather casually. But at least it's not like Xia Yinci who doesn't want to tell me anything, at most she is hated by Qianyan a little more.

"Do you share the same body with Xia Yinci?"

"no."

"Then can you see what Xia Yinci sees in reality? You can manipulate her body at any time?"

"Occasionally see it. Rarely can manipulate it. Are you done asking?"

Qian Yan finally looked directly at me, but she curled her lips, her eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. Or the only emotion that can be read is full impatience.

"The last question... When will you return your body to Xia Yinci?"

"It's annoying. Pay it back now."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Yinci's body seemed to lose its support and fell backwards. I quickly took a step forward and used my weak body to catch her, the scar on my back throbbed.

Xia Yinci then slowly opened her eyes, and retreated my arm without knowing why. After standing up and seeing the situation in front of her, her expression suddenly became astonished, and she turned her head after a while, staring at my eyes with great concern, and took a step closer to me.

"Su Huohuo...well, I...did I tell you anything just now?"

Xia Yinci's actions made me instinctively put my hands on my chest, and Qianyan's vague explanation just now made me a little dazed, so I was stunned for a long time before I nodded stupidly.

"Then you know that... I didn't do this?"

Naturally, I knew that what she said by "these" was referring to the tragic situation of these two people. I scratched the back of my head and nodded to her. Xia Yinci breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. Realizing that there was still something to be done, she walked slowly to the door of the room, put her little hand on the door and listened carefully to the movement in the room.

But when I saw that the door didn't burst open, I believed that Qianyan had already left, and I couldn't help but gasped.

"Hey, don't you want to know what your dad is doing?"

Seeing that I was still in a daze, Xia Yinci frowned and looked at me, reminding me in a low voice. After waking up, I hurriedly yelled at her twice, followed her example and leaned my ear to the door. From the other end of the door came the professor's voice, and there was some flattery in the passionate tone——

"My dear Su Guokai... In any case, you were once a scholar of the Core Research Association, and many people regard you as a respected senior. Now you are threatening us with the "Holy Mother's Name", which is too cruel Are you sympathetic? What's more, these cultists who believe in the "Madman of Dreams" will kick you away at any time because of their ridiculous teachings."

Hearing him mention my father's name, I couldn't help but want to break into the room and see what my father looked like. As for the religious organization he mentioned that believes in the "Madman of Dreams" in reality, I can understand it. In my eyes, the so-called "Holy Mother's Name" should be like the Dream Stealer, an organization established by participants who once dominated the war.

"Relentless?! Why didn't you think about this when you kidnapped my son?"

Dad's voice sounded quite unfamiliar, which made my heart tremble suddenly. He was far from his usual glib, joking tone now.

"Using the word 'tied' may not be appropriate. I just invite the person I am interested in as a distinguished guest. You also know that I treat you without discrimination. How can you find out whose son it is."

Someone in the room slapped the table vigorously, and someone stood up and dragged the chair back, causing harsh friction.

"Don't do this with me!! Feng Chenghuan, listen to me, I won't interfere in your affairs, and you don't want to trouble my son, or believe it or not, I will destroy "that device" when I go back? "

"That can't be done! How about this...you give me the device, and I promise you will never trouble your son in the future. We can also never communicate with each other from now on."

"It's impossible to hand it over to you, don't even think about it—! Everyone knows what you're thinking. If you take away the device and then kidnap my son, I don't even have the capital to negotiate with you. Of course you don't have to believe it." contacts!"

The professor also seemed a little impatient, and smacked his lips irritably. The tone of voice is no longer the tone of acting, maybe at this time he revealed his true nature.

"I'll open up and tell you, I don't care about your son's life or death! It's not that your son is wandering around, do you think I will find him on purpose?"

"Ridiculous! Didn't my son wander around because of the basket you poked out? I have also experienced collective nightmares. It is impossible to trap people in dreams unless someone deliberately intervenes! You are deliberately trying to trap the collective nightmares. What is the purpose of being in the dream? Don’t you think there are not enough dreamers who can’t wake up?!”

The words "collective nightmare" made me suddenly sensitive, but for some reason, the room suddenly fell silent, and it took a long time before the professor's voice full of doubts came.

"No...? Trapping people in dreams, I admit that I have done it before... I am indeed investigating collective nightmares. But using collective nightmares to make people unable to wake up has nothing to do with me relation!"

"I know better than anyone else what the president is thinking!! There will be collective nightmares every 7 years, and every time there are rumors of collective nightmares, they will disappear inexplicably in the end! You didn't intervene secretly, tell me who can have such great ability ?!"

"Is it necessary to hide from you what I did?? We did block the news of the collective nightmare. That's because we wanted to investigate secretly and didn't want people to pay attention to this matter. I Let me tell you this - those who were trapped in the collective nightmare were not locked here at all! That matter is not in my hands at all! And our association definitely did not do it!"

Being refuted by such an affirmative tone, Dad was also stunned. The brief silence made his ears tingle. About four or five seconds later, a third person's voice appeared in the room. That person didn't speak, but laughed hysterically and clapped his hands vigorously. Dad seemed to suddenly realize it, and there was still some disbelief in his voice:

"So... the matter of the collective nightmare—could it be that even the collective nightmare itself was created by you!?"

"Hey... Su Guokai~ Don't be so impulsive and put everything on Feng Chenghuan! You see, I blamed poor Feng Chenghuan before I could explain it to you. Ah, although he deserved it— —”

Before the words fell, the speaker seemed to be lifted up violently by someone, and hit the wall with a dull sound.

"You fucking want to see us quarreling and just say it!! What kind of dirty tricks are you playing? Do you think Su Guokai will hand over the device to you?"

"I don't want your device? I'm just here to get back what was taken from me."

As soon as the voice fell, the speaker seemed to wave the things on his hands lightly, making a crisp collision sound. Immediately afterwards, something fell from the sky, throwing the professor who had just strangled him flying. Then, with a whoosh, a sharp object shattered the glass above and fell to the ground like hailstones, playing a chaotic symphony together with the sound of gunfire. Then someone's boot hits the wall.

"Damn...! Is this what you said was taken away by them? But what is the collective nightmare for!!"

"Our "Holy Mother's Name" has always been only to respond to the call of the dream madman, and the same is true for creating collective nightmares. You also know that after all, the power of the dream madman to control all things comes from the fanatical beliefs of our believers, and the believers are also in the madness of the people. Survive on with merciful forgiveness. Rather, it’s all for the sake of the ‘Doctrine’.”

A very strange feeling hit me - she said that the power of the dream madman came from the belief of the "believers". Since the gods lost people's lives, they were gradually forgotten by people, and thus lost their power... Could it be that they tried their best to achieve the status of dream madmen, but their power actually came from ordinary people who believed in religion in reality?

"Su Guokai, don't look at me like that. You can't save your son without me. Moreover, because of the excess "urban resources" we collected in previous domination wars, this collective nightmare ended last night By the way, only 132 people fell into a deep sleep this time. Oh, by the way, I also want to thank you Core Research Association for helping us quell the messy rumors for so many years, it really helped a lot.”

"Are you kidding!! How did I help you?!"

The professor yelled furiously, but it made the other party's laughter even more insane, and the room fell into chaos.

At this moment, Xia Yinci next to me tugged at my clothes, and I couldn't help turning my head slowly, my face must be a little absent-minded.

"Let's go...it will be troublesome if they find out."

Xia Yinci's pretentiously clear voice made my heart tremble. I took a deep breath, nodded my head, and followed her in the opposite direction from when I came. The corridors and elevators were empty, as if they were not affected by the explosion at all. Now that room alone may be overcrowded, implicated by the "aftermath of the explosion".

In order to investigate the collective nightmare, we even got into such a big trouble, but in the end all of this had no direct connection with the Core Research Association, and the matter ended inexplicably... We couldn't stop anything, and there was no bad luck caused by the collective nightmare Happens to anyone around us. Lin Yu must be quite disappointed when he finds out about this fact.

There was a "ding" sound, and the elevator door was gently opened. After getting out of the elevator, Su Erin leaned against the wall and waited for us, unable to blend in with the surrounding tragedy.

"Let's go...let's...go home."

On the way back, we were just like the usual three of us returning home from school, as if nothing had happened, but everything left a deep mark on my heart.

When I got home, my father and mother were not there. According to Su Huilin, it was planned that when the explosion happened, my mother and some other people needed to rush upstairs to take the opportunity to control the professor. After that, the tea cat told us that another person was talking to the professor, so the plan changed to control Stop the professor and let that person go. So now she should be with daddy.

However, they didn't come back until late at night, and only received a text message from their father, saying that they needed to go abroad for some temporary errands. Both Su Huilin and I knew that they were going to solve matters related to the Core Research Association, but we tacitly neither mentioned it, and each returned to our own room after saying good night to each other.

...

Unexpectedly, this nightmare of the world, to me, is actually a joke that no matter what I do, I can't do anything about it. In the end, Xia Yinci was not involved in the collective nightmare incident, and because of the end of this incident, she recovered her normal lucid dream ability. In fact, whether I have intervened in this matter or not, the result is the same.

In addition - even if Xia Yinci and Su Huilin no longer prevented me from retrieving my memory, I still couldn't grasp the fragments that kept rising into the air. But. What I couldn't have predicted at this time was that this experience would become a key to the future in the near future...
