Chapter 368 Paradox
It was getting dark.

With his back to the door, Zhu Jue looked out at the fiery clouds that dyed half of the sky red and the airships shuttled through the sky as decorations. The color of the sky farther away was completely dimmed.

There was already a lot of burnt incense on the low table in the living room behind him. After spending most of the day, Zhu Jue's spirit barely returned to normal. With the support of the incense, he seemed to suddenly have trouble reading special books. There is a lot of leeway.

Even so, Zhu Jue still didn't have the desire to read the black octavo, which was his intuition after opening the book last night.

Not yet, at least not yet!

"The situation at the scene is not very good."

Olivia City set out for the ruins this morning. After arriving at the place and conducting a short survey, she contacted Zhu Jue immediately, so that there was still a clearer noise around when the two were talking, which sounded a bit like It's the rumble of an excavator at work.

"Not very good, this description is too general, what specifically makes you feel wrong?"

Fiddled with the wind chimes squatting on the window frame with her fingers, there was still a while before Zhu Jue and the black swan agreed to fall asleep, and she didn't mind chatting with Olivia.

"The entrances to the ruins were all buried due to the previous earthquake. That's all. It took our machine to reopen a road within a few days. The association's detection team found magma rocks after the magma had cooled in the rubble. Quite a few."

On the other end of the phone, Olivia was weighing a fine-textured stone in her hand. A geologist in a brown vest was leading a group of staff to the scene nearby. High-powered searchlights several meters high were surrounding the scene. On the left The Huoshaoyun at the top of the mountain was turning gray, he paused for a few seconds and then said,
"There is no volcano where the ruins are, not even an extinct volcano!"

Without volcanoes, how can there be magmatic rocks?
"It can't be that a volcano is buried under the ground and is about to be buried. If you dig it up now, don't you drill into the crater?"

Thinking about the possibility of what he said casually, Zhu Jue didn't know much about geology.

"Now we have to wait for the machine data to come out before we can make a closer judgment. However, judging from the strength of the orders issued by the Archaeological Association, the underground ruins here should be extraordinary. Even if an archaeological team has been damaged, the Association Still sent a second archaeological team over here. Let alone, I need to help, and I will contact you when I have new discoveries."

Hearing the paging from other support teams, Olivia could only temporarily hang up the phone, throw away the stone, and run over to check the situation.

Irregular stones fell to the ground and piled up with the fine branches and leaves on the valley floor.

For a moment, they all seemed to vibrate briefly, and it seemed like nothing happened.

"Fengling, can you dream?"

Locking the door, Zhu Jue sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a bottle of dream medicine that could lead to Dylas Harbor in his hand.

Zhu Jue used to take the wind chime with him wherever he went, but this potion should be formulated for humans, and he didn't know if the wind chime could be used.

"Or you should stay in the real world, anyway, the time here is only one hour, just treat me as if I fell asleep, and don't let anyone get close to me before I wake up!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Jue decided not to let Feng Ling try it. Firstly, the effectiveness of this potion is not sure about the existence of Feng Ling. If there are any side effects, it will be too late to regret it. The physical body in the real world will enter a deep sleep state. If someone comes to the door, it is really not safe to have no protection around you.

Hey~
The wind chime uttered softly, turned around and fiddled with the quilt next to it. From its point of view, it was normal for Zhu Jue to watch over it when he was sleeping. It had always done this in the past nights, and it naturally wouldn't do it this time. There are exceptions.

"Haha, you're still the most sensible, I'll go to bed first."

After drinking the dream medicine, Zhu Jue lay down on his back, with his right hand casually resting on Feng Ling, and he lost his movement after a while.

Instant dizziness, this feeling is a bit like a person suddenly surfacing after diving.

When Zhu Jue opened his eyes again, his whole body was as relaxed as if a layer of restraint had been removed. This is true in every sense.

Looking down at his naked body, Zhu Jue twitched the corners of his mouth and concentrated his thoughts. It didn't take long before a set of clothes that were exactly the same as the last time he entered the dreamland appeared on his body.But the things that can be realized are limited to this, whether it is the space ring or the wind chime, even if Zhu Jue concentrates more, he still can't realize these two existences.

Regarding this point, Black Swan also said in advance that once you drink the dream medicine, it seems to be a simple way to make people enter the dreamland, but Zhu Jue's current state can actually be more similar to the soul out of the body that the ancient ascetics said, His body and other "mortal things" will remain in reality, and only the spiritual will or soul can enter the dreamland.

Of course, Zhu Jue also thought about sending the space ring and wind chimes into the dreamland through the space crack in advance, so that Zhu Jue can meet them inside, but Zhu Jue has to consider not only himself It's not a question of whether things get lost in transit, but the time overlap between him and the wind chimes.

Because no matter how long he stayed in the dreamland with the help of the dream medicine, he still only passed an hour in the real world, and the wind chime entered with the body, the time spent by the two in the dreamland was exactly the same, but in real life Excessive time is a world of difference.

It stands to reason that there should be some kind of contradiction in this. When Zhu Jue was thinking about this issue, he specifically asked Black Swan about it. After all, the latter used the dream medicine quite a few times.

Regarding Zhu Jue's doubts, the explanation given by Black Swan is that no matter how long his soul stays in the dreamland, when he returns to the real world, he will not be able to use the space at the time corresponding to the existence of the dreamland crack.
To give a simple example, Zhu Jue drinks the dream medicine and enters the dreamland, and stays in it for three days. After he wakes up, since only one hour has passed in the real world, theoretically speaking, he can certainly pass through the space. Rift entered the dreamland again with his body, so is it possible for him to meet himself who is making trouble in the dreamland at this time?
In fact, if he dares to do this, there is only one result. At the moment of entering the dreamland, his soul will return to the position he had just entered the dreamland for an hour three days ago, and his body will immediately Disappeared, everything in the dreamland returned to normal.

Looking back, Zhu Jue, who has lost his body, will never wake up again, and can only stay in the dreamland forever!

This is the rule of the dreamland. It is impossible to have two identical souls in the same world, unless the soul can be completely split. This is the result of the gentleman's trial with many temporary workers, and it cannot be faked!
And this is also one of the reasons why the gentleman strangled them for three days when he took them into the dreamland. He needed time to buffer, after all, he would often use the dream medicine to enter the dreamland.

Correspondingly, if Fengling enters the dreamland after Zhujue falls asleep, it will undoubtedly be able to see Zhujue in the dreamland. Traveling through, it can completely see the vision of the two worlds.

This may involve the theory of parallel worlds, which Zhu Jue didn't understand anyway, and the black swan was almost in a daze when he talked about it.
Then someone may ask, Zhu Jue will know everything that happened to him in the dreamland after waking up in the real world an hour later, so if there is something wrong with him, can Feng Ling help him to correct it?

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!

Because the result of doing so will undoubtedly involve more causes and effects. Without Zhu Jue's side, any decision made by Feng Ling will lead to changes in the established facts, which in turn will lead to changes in Zhu Jue's memory. There is a paradox.

Not to mention that if Zhu Jue had an accident in the fantasy realm, he would never wake up in the real world, and there would be no link to explain the situation to Feng Ling.

"Mr. Fengling, you'd better not try this outrageous behavior. Gentleman has conducted similar experiments over the years, and the result was that all the experimental subjects died without exception. There are not only ordinary humans in the fantasy realm, but some mysterious people. The power of the world does not allow the rules of the world to be provoked!"

This is what Black Swan said to Zhu Jue at the end of the call, and at the same time dispelled all the weird thoughts in the latter's mind.

This is indeed the case, the gentleman is not a fool, he has controlled the space crack for nearly 8 years, and he has tried many ideas that only exist in Zhu Jue's mind.

There is no doubt that failure is the end result of most attempts!
Closer to home.

At this time, Zhu Jue was in his own dream.

To be precise, it was a tall building in the dreamland. He stepped a few steps forward and stood on the edge of the building. The cool wind at dusk was blowing in his face. At this time, Zhu Jue suddenly realized that the surrounding environment turned out to be Shuguang City. His current location should be It was on the roof of a building somewhere in the center of the city. It seemed that after drinking the potion just now, he did not fall asleep, but left the house and came here.

The only thing that could prove that he was in a dream was the hanging parallel stairs in front of him and the wooden door at the end.

"Mr. Fengling, the entrance and exit of this dream medicine in the dreamland is set on the coast of Dilas Port, and there may be some mental shock when entering."

The voice of the black swan sounded from behind, drinking the dream medicine of the same formula, she naturally appeared in Zhu Jue's dream, reminding Zhu Jue who used the dream medicine for the first time.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see what the port looks like in the dreamland."

Seeing that the person had already arrived, Zhu Jue didn't stop, and stepped directly up the stairs, leading to the door leading to the dreamland.

"I think...you might be a little disappointed."

Hearing Zhu Jue's words, Black Swan recalled the appearance of Dilas Harbor with a strange expression.
