Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 154 Interlaced Dreams (7)

This time, Gongsun Ce first heard the girl humming.

"I'm sure you've never spoken at the same time."

"If you be nice to it, it will make the clock do what you say."

"As long as you like, you can make the clock stop, as long as it likes, the hands can still jump!"

This ballad has been changed a lot compared to the original, but Gongsun Ce still recognized it: another element of "Alice in Wonderland", the crazy words of the mad hatter.

"Mad Hatter...it's time for a tea party, isn't it?"

Gongsun Ce muttered gloomily, looking at the new scene.

He saw an extra wide and extra long table, which was as big as a giant's furniture, and there were stools on both sides that were also more than one size bigger.Xiao Yuling was carrying a basket of snacks, hugging her kitten, jumping up and down on the snow-white tablecloth, and the rabbit in a white robe walked in front of him and led the way.

"Who do you want to see today, Miss Zero?"

"This table is too big! Let me look at the map." Shi Yuling took out a hand-painted map from the basket, which was exactly the same as the one he saw at Shi Yu Research Institute, "Let's go to Xiao Shiqi first. Right! She has a good relationship with me."

She jumped up and down to the stool corresponding to "17", and Shiyu Shiqi was indeed sitting there.Her stool was dirty and broken, and smelled like someone spilled tea and milk and ran away without cleaning it up.

"Sister!" Shi Yu Shiqi called out in surprise.Xiao Yuling came to her sister, hugged the kitten and talked to her. "Little Seventeen, look at the snacks I brought you~"

They talked eagerly, like real sisters.Shi Yuling told her stories in fairy tale books, about the beautiful furniture in the bungalow, about the programs on the TV... about the gifts her father bought for her, and about how kind he was to her.

"But, sister." Shi Yushiqi whispered, "Father has never been that kind to me."

"Father has too many children, but too little money, he can only give his love to the best one!" Xiao Yuling puffed out his chest proudly.She was very proud when she said this, with a sense of superiority towards her sisters in her eyes.Seeing that Shiqi was getting more and more sad, she hurriedly said, "But you still have a sister! You see, although you are not as good as me, I still take care of you. Let me show you an interesting trick!"

Shi Yuling held her cat up again, and Dana was grinning. "Chop off your head!" Xiao Yuling shouted, raising his hand to pat the kitten's neck.

"Meow!" Dana's chubby cat face rolled down like a ball and landed on the big stool, but she was still smiling. "Look, it won't die even if its head is beheaded." Shi Yu Shiqi smiled happily, "It's amazing!"

Gongsun Ce stood behind the girl, watching all this quietly.Until the girl and sister finished chatting, ready to go to the next sibling.

"Enough." He walked up to Xiao Yuling, "Stop, let's stop here."

Hour Rain Zero acted as if he couldn't see him.The gray-haired youth squatted down and looked directly into the girl's eyes.

"I know what time it is now, August 8th, between 27:10 and 30:3. Why do you have the current personality, what have you experienced at this point, I completely understand..."

Gongsun Ce said softly: "So there is no need to continue, don't have this dream that tortures you and me."

Xiao Yuling no longer laughed.

Her gaze became sharp, as if she had grown up.She stared at the young man and said coldly: "No."

The scene in the dream changed at a dizzying speed, and the institute changed back to a cozy bungalow in less than a second.This time, there were no clocks, no calendars in the bungalow, and nothing that would allow him to confirm the time.Shi Yuling was sitting on the sofa, and Shi Yu Genmi was beside her, holding a book of fairy tales in his hand, and recited the sentences in it for her.

["I don't want to be among madmen," Alice answered.

"Oh, that can't be helped," said the Cat. "We're all crazy here, and I'm crazy, and you're crazy too."

"How do you know I'm crazy?" Alice asked.

"Sure," said the cat, "otherwise you wouldn't have come here!"]

Shi Yu Genmi vividly imitated the tone of the characters in the book, and spoke absurd dialogues, which made Xiao Yuling giggle.She laughed for a long time, nearly shedding tears, and finally noticed the gray-haired young man standing in the living room.

"Stop." Hour Rain Ling said.

So time stopped obediently, and only she and Gongsun Ce could move.She jumped off the sofa, raised her little face proudly, and looked at the gloomy Gongsun Ce.

"What do you understand? You don't understand anything! I have my father, I have gifts, I have wonderful candies from Wonderland, and my life is beautiful, happy like a hero in a fairy tale!"

Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He wanted to say that you were right, that you were a spoiled little girl who grew up in a wonderful family.But he can't.Not only because he needs to interpret the dream and escape from it, but also because everyone should face the truth, no matter how cruel or sad it may be.

You are always right, Elandia.He remembered the silver-haired woman's advice and smiled bitterly.

"Okay, it's time for the long-lost deciphering time. It's time to reveal the reality of the dream. Where do we start? It's all the same. Why don't you talk about your magical cat first."

Gongsun Ce walked into the girl's bedroom, lifted the quilt, and the blue-haired cat was lying on the bed.It smiled like a human, with a big smile on its chubby face.

"Daina, your cat. You gave it the name of a kitten in the book, and it behaves like a Cheshire cat, it's blue, it laughs, it won't die if you cut its head off...it's amazing, isn't it Is it?" The superhuman shook his head, "But there is no such cat in reality."

Xiao Yuling argued: "Dana is a creature in Wonderland!"

"Is there any cat that will nest in the quilt obediently, and is not struggling when you take it around? What's even more strange is that I have never seen Dana walking around by herself. It will always have two expressions, either you Cuddle in your arms, or lie alone in the same place... The answer is ready to come out. It's very simple, and it has nothing to do with impermanence." Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses, "Your pet is a toy cat, but you treat it as a toy cat. Really."

When these words were spoken, Dana's appearance changed immediately, her face lost all life, her expression became false, and she became a plush toy—a little doll that could twist its head off.

"..."

After Xiao Yuling stopped talking, Gongsun Ce walked to the mirror.

"The talking magic mirror is amazing." He knelt down, groped behind the mirror for a long time, and took out a tape recorder, "It's actually a brainwashing tool for machines. Through repetition day after day, concepts are engraved into you. In my heart, it is really something to deceive children."

The gray-haired youth put the tape recorder aside: "Come on, let's watch the highlight, your magical little snack."

He walked into the kitchen with Xiao Yuling and took out the "eat me" snack and the "drink me" bottle.

"Drink me. In fairy tales, it's a drink that makes people shrink. What about in reality? Of course, it's the same..." Gongsun Ce crushed the bottle.He already knew the answer, didn't he?
As Shi Yu-jun told him before, the law of impermanence should be cultivated from childhood.Because children's dreams are simple, their hearts are pure, and they are easy to practice.

"This bottle is filled with growth-inhibiting drugs. It will make your body grow almost stagnant, and thus affect the appearance of your mind. So your past appearance does not match your present appearance, so Shiyu Seventeen is still the same now. Looks like a junior high school student!"

Fragments of the glass bottle pierced his palm, and blood dripped to the ground.The superpower doesn't realize it, he has to do this to suppress his anger.He grabbed the "eat me" snack.

"This, in fairy tales, is a prop to make Alice bigger. I couldn't figure it out at first, what it represented in reality, they didn't make you bigger or older. After I changed my mind , everything suddenly became clear. Alice can only enter Wonderland after eating it, and so will you."

What happened after Xiao Yuling ate this thing?Flowers and plants have grown in the environment, the hour hand of the clock is distorted, and it seems to be flying when walking... Hidden under the fairyland-like surface is the malice and viciousness in reality.

"This is also a drug! It makes you have bizarre hallucinations. In the hallucination, you see all the tragedies of Shigure Research Institute as beautiful, and it makes your sense of time go wrong. It is convenient for Shigure to continue his shameful Research!"

Gongsun Ce threw the jar aside, and the fudge rolled all over the floor, no one cared.

"Why did Shigure make these disguises so painstakingly? Why did he create an illusion of happiness for you? Why did he give you false love and let you contact other Shigures with illusions? Because all of this It's part of the artificial biphasic method experiment!"

Shigure Rei had a good relationship with his younger siblings.Shigure Rei's personality changed drastically once.Alice Adar, who often uses freesia, is an adventurer longing for freedom; Shigure Rei, who looks at the narcissus in the mirror, is a villain who only loves himself.Biphasic practice can easily collapse into a monster.Shigure Zero is a dual-phase Dharma Envoy.Shigure Ling's Brahman Aspect talent is even better, but Shigure Genmi decided to focus on cultivating her Aura...

He should have thought of it a long time ago, and he didn't even need this dream to come to this conclusion.

Gongsun Ce slammed his hammer on the table: "He is afraid of your talent! He is worried that he will cultivate a truly powerful person, a Brahma Prime Minister who is full of malice towards them and wants to kill you quickly! So Shi Yu Genmi will cultivate Focusing on the method of spirituality, he carefully designed this new set of experiments-you spend half of the time in the research institute every week to practice Brahmanism, and the other half of the time to live with Shiyu Genmi. The ubiquitous hints that you have been deliberately cultivated to be suitable for the character traits of the spirit physiognomy, and your love for his father!"

On August 8, Shigure Ling took drugs in the mansion.One day before, on August 27th, Shigure Ling had his memory cleaned in the research institute.This kind of identity switching is happening every week, and the time passes day by day, and the cultivation of dual-phase magicians is gradually maturing...

"The sense of time confusion created by memory cleaning technology and psychedelic drugs makes you unable to distinguish your true self no matter where you are. But the experiment is flawed after all. As time goes by, you find a sense of incongruity that is hard to ignore .Your week went by too fast! So one day, you asked Shi Yulian for help...on the day he acted, you discovered the truth."

Gongsun Ce didn't dare to look at the girl's expression anymore.Gongsun Ce forced himself to look at the little girl.

"This is the truth, Shi Yuling. The truth beyond the fairyland."

"No." Xiao Yuling cried, "No, no, no...no!!!"

The girl ran up to the gray-haired young man, beating his body desperately.

"You lie! My father loves me so much! He buys me presents!! He tells me stories from books!!"

Gongsun Ce really wanted to deny his reasoning, it was because he thought too much, in fact, they used to be close father and daughter, if there was such a time, how wonderful it would be...!
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

"You like to read books, but you don't even have a bookshelf in your room. I haven't found a book in this room that children can read, except "Alice in Wonderland"! This book is your New Year's gift, but now It's already the end of August..."

"For more than half a year, Shi Yugenmi didn't even give you a new book!"

Hour Rain Zero let go of his hand.

She stared blankly at the gray-haired young man, with tears in her eyes.

"No..." she said desperately, "No."

Everything loses its color.The dreamlike illusion, shattered.
