Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 124 Dream Interpretation

In front of the dining table is a family of three from Gongsun's family.Their looks are different from now, maintaining the appearance of nearly ten years ago.

Gongsun Ce's mother was only in her early 30s at this time, and she still looked young, sobbing softly while hugging him.His father had just turned 35 years old, wearing square glasses, with a very serious expression on his face, and his brows were tightly knit.

The young Gongsun Ce was sitting on a chair, hugged by his mother, with a dazed and empty expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, child." Mom couldn't help wiping away tears, "Mom shouldn't have looked at you like that, Mom was just a little surprised. We've always loved you...forgive Mom, please?"

The child on the seat replied blankly: "Mom? I'm not sad, why are you crying..."

Gongsun Ce struck the clock, the hands trembled slightly, and all activities in the room stopped.He picked up a building block from the small square table and looked at it in his hands.

He remembered when this happened.This scene happened when Gongsun Ce turned ten years old, at the end of the fourth month after the turn of the century.At the beginning of that year, the disaster in the sky came to the empire, and people in Yongguang were panicked.Soon after, a phenomenon known as the outbreak of supernatural powers appeared, and children with supernatural abilities appeared all over the world.

The young man put down the building blocks, looked at the three people who were motionless, and spoke slowly.

"I was the first batch of children who awakened to superpowers. I was very smart since I was a child, really, but I didn't think too much about it at the time. I thought I could control things and fly, so I wanted to show my mother look."

"My mother just came back to watch me take off the toy, and she was so scared that the handbag fell to the ground. Her eyes were quite scary..." He shrugged, "But my mother is a simple and kind office worker. The kind of dragon disaster that you dare not even mention the word dragon. Which ordinary person would not be frightened when he sees his own child living like this when he returns home?"

"You're hurt," Elandia pointed out.

"I was quite hurt at the time." Gongsun Ce corrected, "But after that, my mother hugged me and cried, so I forgave her."

It wasn't until he grew up that he realized why his mother had such panicked eyes at that time.She was afraid that the child would become a monster, but she was even more afraid that her son would stay away from her.

Gongsun Ce took off his glasses, closed his eyes hard, and moved the pointer again.

"Look at what happens next."

Another half an hour passed, and this time it was Gongsun's father who spoke.

"We have to go with Ah Ce." Father's words were firm.

"He's only less than ten years old!" The mother was still crying when she spoke, "How could they have the heart..."

"It can't be helped. Children with special abilities appeared in the short time after the disaster in the sky, and no country can sit idly by." The father sighed again and again, "We don't have much time."

"We have to think about what to bring there, who knows how many years we will live here, and parents also..."

"I heard that the children will be managed centrally until the city is initially built. I don't know if we parents can accompany us all the way..."

Gongsun Ce's parents were too anxious. They should let the children avoid these discussions first, but they dare not let the children who have just awakened their abilities out of their sight.

The young Gongsun Ce sat on a stool and listened to his parents discussing the matter of moving.Listening to them talking about work, houses, deposits, mortgages, parents in their hometown, current policies, possible security issues... The always gentle mother even suggested to find a way to buy some weapons to carry with her, but the prudent father rarely said a word be opposed to……

Parents' conversations became more dull, and they didn't ask their children's opinions.Gongsun Ce's parents were traditional imperial commoners, and they thought they had to follow along to take care of their children.This is a fundamental matter of principle that cannot be compromised as a parent.

The young Gongsun Ce listened for a long time, blinking his eyes.

"Mom and Dad, you can't come with me."

The child said in a childish voice.

"You have other things to do yourself, and besides, it must be a lot of trouble if it's all children like me. It's too dangerous to go to the sky."

The parents stared blankly at their children, who smiled vigorously.

"You heard me right. I'm smart!"

Everything in the room stopped again.The real Gongsun Ce rubbed his hair and said in a low voice, "You know, I've never been stupid."

Elandia was noncommittal.

"Did your parents heed your advice?"

"How is it possible. Your parents would listen to you when you were ten years old... Oh, I was not yet ten years old at that time, anyway, I was a primary school student. Will your parents listen to your advice when you were in elementary school?"

"will not."

So Gongsun Ce turned the pointer again, and the time fast forwarded to the moment when he was taken away.

This time, events are recreated in the room without sound, only motion.

Big and small bags of luggage were piled up by the door, and Gongsun's parents stayed in the living room. They were clearly ready to go, but they stood there motionless.

The father was full of anger, and the mother burst into tears.The black-haired child stood at the door, carrying a small schoolbag, with an ugly smile on his face, waving to his parents.

"Neither did my parents, so I used super powers to fix my parents."

Gongsun Ce said with some embarrassment: "When the government people come to escort me, I will tell them that I promise not to mess around on the road, but you have to sign a document and promise me not to let my parents follow me."

"They agreed."

"It's great, and it saves them trouble. There are not many children who are willing to cooperate like me." Gongsun Ce sat on the sofa and whispered, "My father scolded me for being an unfilial son, and my mother begged me to remove my ability... I don't want to say any more, that's all."

Looking back now, Gongsun Ce believes that this is the most correct decision he has made in his life, and it is probably not one of them.At the beginning, the Vault of Heaven was a garbage place, and his parents, who were ordinary people, had little chance of surviving. Even he himself almost died several times.

Rationality can be rational, emotion can be emotional.No matter how correct it seems in hindsight, it will not alleviate the pain at the time.Gongsun Ce remembered crying all the way after he left, and the older brother who escorted him couldn't help but say that he was a very good boy.He said go away, you bastard, I'm fine, will you let me go.

The "bad thing" naturally wouldn't let him go, and he knew that he wasn't bad, but he was the one who was really bad.

Gongsun Ce withdrew from his past memories and found that his parents had disappeared unknowingly.When he was a child, he didn't leave, but looked up at himself who had grown up.

The dark-haired child looked sad.

"I wish I wasn't here."

The black-haired young man Diao Erlang replied, "Indeed. You made your parents sad and tired, and you caused troubles for the country and society. You made everyone unhappy on the boat, and you didn't do anything good for a long time after you arrived in the capital of the sky. "

"It's too bad..." The child muttered a few words, and then asked with a hint of expectation, "But if I really die, will my parents be sad?"

Gongsun Ce replied seriously.

"Definitely. 100%. Heartbreaking."

The child rubbed his hair like he is now, and said a little embarrassedly.

"That can't make them sad, can it? I have to do something for them when I have the chance."

"I still... can't die."

The young Gongsun Ce disappeared, and a little dancing light appeared where he was standing.

This light floated to the cover of the wordless book and melted into the book, so that the book finally had its name.

——"Self-loathing".

Gongsun Ce flipped through the book again, and unsurprisingly found that the pages were still blank.He shrugged and put the book away.

There was an overwhelmed sound from all around, and the old apartment building began to shake.The wall skin peeled off, exposing the bricks and tiles behind it, and the dust fell one after another, covering the furniture with a layer of gray.

The building was about to collapse, but Gongsun Ce was in no hurry to leave.He knows it won't endanger him.A scene in a dream can be understood only by sensation, and that sensation is evidence of trust.

The silver-haired Elandia stood beside him.Gongsun Ce patted the hardcover book with the title, and asked, "Is this my aura? It's true, but... I thought it would be a bigger scene, such as when we were in Superbia."

"What is aura?" Dawn Knight asked back.

"Spirituality born from the heart is used to activate the power of impermanence."

Yan Qi also taught some ancient metaphysics, but he said that those things didn't make much sense, and Gongsun Ce thought so too.

"Aura is power, and it is also the wisdom and intelligence unique to human beings. It is consistent with nature but contrary to it, like a mind with two sides in one body."

In the living room of the collapse, the Dawn Knight stated: "On the day when you awakened your superpowers, you discovered your true nature for the first time. You loathed yourself and despaired of meaningless life."

"But you didn't blindly succumb to the urge to self-hate and self-destruct, but for the first time you made a decision with your own thinking—you decided to protect your parents and deal with the suffering alone."

Elandia reached out to him: "This is the moment when you light up your aura."

"……Oh."

Gongsun Ce was a little embarrassed.

He shook his slender hand lightly, then quickly let go, looking sideways: "Thank you."

"Don't mind, Ce." Dawn Knight looked at the top of his head, "I'm here to get my hat back."

If the degree of embarrassment reaches the upper limit, it can make the strength stronger, then Gongsun Ce should have completed three super transformations at this moment.He hastily took off his deerstalker hat and put it back into the woman's hand.

Then the old apartment building collapsed completely.Gongsun Ce's vision blurred, and he found himself standing in an endless darkness.

Elandia still hadn't left, she asked: "How will you interpret the dream now?"

Gongsun Ce held his aura and found that his emotions were no longer as intense as in the room.He seems to be gradually returning to his usual state, and he has become the self who can make wisecracks and nonsense.

Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses and said with a smile, "You want to hear it? Why don't we exchange it, and after I finish speaking, you can also help me interpret a dream."

"can."

Gongsun Ce took out the book "Self-Loathing" and said with a relaxed expression: "This book is empty, symbolizing a meaningless life; the title of the book is Self-Loathing, which is my negative aura; but—" He changed the topic, "Different from the pages without words, the appearance of this book is beautifully made, and the layers of protective cover are also decent. These all symbolize what I have outside my nature and what I have acquired since the day after tomorrow. Things. Such as wisdom, character, ability, goals, or other meanings..."

"I just dressed up a pile of blank paper like this. It seems that I am very good at self-torture." He concluded, "And I will continue to go on with such contradictions."

Elandia commented: "A reasonable guess."

This is again a reasonable but not correct conjecture.Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows, but he didn't ask, but smiled like a rogue and said, "I'm done, can you help me interpret my dream?"

"Please say."

The black-haired young man walked around the woman twice, shook his head and said, "Miss Elandia, I dreamed that the dawn knight was sitting in my childhood room, leading me to find the spiritual light. This room looks like..."

He finished describing his childhood bedroom in detail and asked, "Can you tell me the meaning of this dream?"

The Dawn Knight put on his hat, and began to interpret his dreams in a calm manner.This time, it was rare for her to speak at length.

"The depth of your dream is the childhood room, which symbolizes your homesickness and nostalgia for the past; you put me in the most private room, which symbolizes that you trust me as you trust yourself."

He got the reason for Elandia's appearance.Of course, Gongsun Ce thought with a wry smile, who else could open that door except himself.

"I am dressed in the same outfit as when I went out to investigate, which symbolizes that you expect me to answer your puzzles. I am sitting at your desk, freely flipping through your nature that has turned into a book, which symbolizes that you expect me to know more about you."

At this moment, the more Gongsun Ce listened, the more he felt that the situation was not good, while Elandia was still talking calmly.

"Finally, the desk is very close to your bed. You sat on the bed most of the time and hinted that I was close to you several times, which symbolized that you had sex with me..."

Gongsun Ce's face was red, and he jumped up and shouted: "Stop! You have no evidence, it's all speculation!"

Elandia laughed again.

"Yes, it's just speculation."

She stood face to face with Gongsun Ce, reaching out to caress the young man's face.

"There are countless reasonable speculations about dream symbolism, and the only reliable evidence is your feelings. Remember, only you can determine the correct interpretation."

Dawn Knight turned his back and walked into the darkness, leaving only a brief farewell.

"See you next time, Ce."

Gongsun Ce stared at her back until the other party had completely disappeared before speaking softly.

"Goodbye, Elandia."

·
Now it's time for him to get down to business and complete the final steps of this dream.

Gongsun Ce held the book in his hands.The book in the deepest part of the dream gave off a warm light, and the outer cover and inner pages melted into a beam of indeterminate light.

The found spiritual light rose from his hands, changing the appearance of the dark heart.Gongsun Ce recited the mantra silently, trying to manipulate the light.

He found it very simple, just like he usually controls telekinesis.

"There are common principles in the world, but the heart is impermanent. The nature is solid, but the aura is obscure. The unity of the soul and spirit is the original heart."

The spiritual light flickered more and more, illuminating a small area under his feet.With a thought in Gongsun Ce's mind, a formation that he had seen before was formed under his feet: seven curved lines centered on a hollow circle, with a unique symbol at each end, symbolizing the seven phases of impermanence: ji·empty·ling· Van, Huang, Disaster, Qi.

This is the formation method Yan Qi used to determine his aptitude, and it is also the general outline of all impermanent magicians when they get started.

"Spiritual photos break through the illusion, and you can see the true nature. Knowing my mysteries, you can set your heart..."

Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and recited a series of ancient texts, and only opened his eyes when he finally chose the part of his mind.

"The impermanence of the mind is divided into seven phases"

The aura fell into the center of the hollow circle and turned into a sword-like symbol, which was the rune that symbolized the aspect of silence.

"Extinct illusions, pure and comfortable. The heart returns to the stillness, breaks the boundary and seeks nothing."

The impermanence array is brightly lit, and one of the curves expands rapidly, transforming into a spacious and flat dark road.The tip of the sharp sword rune was facing this direction, making Gongsun Ce understand that this was the path he was going to take.

He looked around and found that the other six curves had also turned into roads. Among them, more than halfway were broken, more than ones were white, and more were dark and deep. The most conspicuous was a blue road: this road was paved with a soft The carpet, extending from the vast depths to the intersection, almost invites him to step into it.

Gongsun Ce glanced at the magic circle under his feet, and was quite sure that the carpet road came from Huang Xiang's direction.

"Uh, no, thank you warmly but I'm not going to leave, it looks scary."

Gongsun Ce muttered a few words to himself, thinking that he had finally entered the Spiritual Illumination Realm, but it was time to leave.

...how should he leave?

Gongsun Ce scratched his hair.He confirmed that Yan Qi had taught him, but at this moment he couldn't remember it.He thought logically, thinking that he should find a way to get out.

Right now there are seven paths.Both Yan Qi and Elandia said that he had to take the lonely form...and that path looked easy...

The road was tailor-made for him.

Gongsun Ce is very convinced that he should take this path. All his experiences from birth to the present are for this moment.The thought cheered him up, and gave him the solemn thought of a martyr.He should go deep, even if his body is smashed to pieces!
"Yes." Gongsun Ce became more and more convinced of his thoughts, "I have to go to the lonely form."

It may take some time and effort to go this way.But anyway, he is not in a hurry to rest, and it doesn't matter if he works hard.

Gongsun Ce was about to take a step towards the path of the lonely phase, when he faintly heard someone else's voice.

"...No..."

real world.

Yan Qi was holding a brush in his hand, ready to fight, even he showed a serious expression at this moment.

"Spiritual photo was successful. Get ready!"

Shi Yulian was also very nervous.Beginners after lighting up the aura are very likely to stray into the road by mistake. Stepping into the road blindly without preparation is almost equivalent to a vicious runaway.

Gongsun Ce's talent is Jixiang-15, and his super affinity with Jixiang makes it a certain accident that he strayed into the road.Now, they, as facilitators, have to find a way from the outside...?
The young man in a suit couldn't hide his surprise: "Gongsun, are you awake?"

The gray-haired young man snorted twice, his eyelids trembled a few times, and he woke up by himself at this moment.

"I remember... what happened... It seems that someone advised me not to make too much trouble..."

He yawned: "Yes, I promised not to give up on myself. Then I woke up when I remembered."

Yan Qi rolled his eyes, squeezed his chin and said, "Try him!"

Shi Yulian asked tentatively, "Where do you put your...sick manga?"

"I enlarged my brother's house, have you changed your mind? If you want to see, you can go to him to make a copy, and I promise not to tell Caldesia."

The young man in the suit heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that it was his friend himself.

Gongsun Ce took out his pocket watch, the time is now one o'clock in the afternoon.

"I slept for 13 hours?! You two have been watching?"

The painter sneered.

"What do you think?"

"Oh my God."

This time was much longer than he thought.Gongsun Ce thinks that he needs to do a lot of things. He needs to make a phone call with his family, which can make him feel more at ease now; The lady said... But now, he has something that must be done immediately.

"Thank you, Master Shi Yu." Gongsun Ce put on his glasses, "Thank you, Master Yan Qi."

Yan Qi's hand holding the writing brush trembled, staring at his two big eyes, he shouted at the top of his voice:

"Grass! This idiot is obsessed!!"

"There's something wrong with your brain, right?!" Gongsun Ce yelled back angrily.

Shi Yulian went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes without saying a word, thinking that this time it seems that there is really no problem.
