Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 316: Together with Su Qing on the Myth Highway
Longing for the villa, after dinner, Gu Ran walked alone in the yard.

{Tianhai Villa} is a whole, but if you look at each villa individually, each villa seems to be built in the uninhabited deep mountains and forests.

that is the truth.

The flower beds and trees in the villa yard still retain a little bit of the atmosphere of deep mountains and old forests. They are the "relics" left behind when it was first built. The ferns and mosses exude an ancient flavor.

There is a lawn and a fish pond in the yard, with not-so-bright floor lamps scattered throughout, like a light and dark dream.

As Gu Ran walked in the yard, occasionally turning a corner, he would think he was floating in a forest full of fireflies.

He thought about Liang Qing and his dreams at night.

Suddenly the phone rang.

【Su Qing: Where? 】

Gu Ran took a picture of the extremely tall palm tree in front of him and sent it to her.

Soon, Su Qing, wearing a shirt and jeans, came over. Every time she took a step, Su Xiaoqing beside her would take three or four steps.

"Walking alone, are you worried about something?" Su Qing walked closer with a smile.

Su Xiaoqing stared at the fish in the pond which was only ankle-deep.

"I've been having the same dream recently." Gu Ran talked about the [Mythical Highway].

The two paced in the yard. Su Xiaoqing was reluctant to leave the fish, but finally decided to follow.

After listening, Su Qing didn't say anything else, just said: "It sounds very interesting. I want to go on a road trip with you."

"I'll try." Gu Ran agreed with a smile.

So, that night, the two of them appeared together on the [Mythical Highway].

"Is this the mythical highway?" Su Qing looked around curiously.

"How did they do this?" Gu Ran was puzzled.

He had smelled perfume and hypnotized himself, but he never dreamed of Zhuang Jing. But Su Qing just mentioned it casually, and it actually worked?

Of course, this may not be the Black Dragon Dream.

It could be the Black Dragon Dream, but it’s not the Mythical Highway. The Mythical Highway in front of me is like a school, a cinema, a hiking trail, and a laundry room with only two people.

"Didn't you say that when you woke up from your dream, you saw Hera and Tamamonomae?" Su Qing asked Gu Ran, "Where are they?"

This reminded Gu Ran.

Assuming this is really the [Mythical Highway], then——

"Maybe I just need to fall asleep in the dream, and then I can wake up from it the next time I dream." He guessed.

Su Qing thought about it and said, "Forget it. It's dangerous to fall asleep in a dream."

Ordinary people occasionally have dreams within dreams, and sometimes cannot distinguish between reality and dreams. Lucid dreamers should be more cautious because dreams are more realistic.

There are clear records of lucid dreamers going insane as a result.

"If you want to accomplish something, you have to be a little crazy." Gu Ran sighed.

"Hurry up and turn into a black dragon. I'm going to start my adventure." Su Qing showed excitement and anticipation that she had never shown in reality.

"Here it comes." Gu Ran raised his head.

Su Qing looked up at the sky and saw a black spot rapidly descending and suddenly hitting the ground. The black shadow spread and turned into a black bus.

She looked at Gu Ran.

"Ah?" Gu Ran looked at the bus.

Su Qing withdrew her gaze. It was obvious that she couldn't get anything out of Gu Ran. He was even more surprised than she was.

"Let's go." She walked around and came to the door used by passengers.

This is a twelve-seater bus. There are only two seats in the first row, one for the driver and the other for the co-pilot. There are five rows after that, with two seats in each row.

Gu Ran walked forward, and as if he had the car keys with him, the bus automatically sensed and opened the driver's door.

Gu Ran got in the car and the door closed automatically.

There were no buttons, but when he subconsciously thought of the seat belt and the seat belt was automatically fastened, he knew that the car in front of him did not require any buttons and was completely controlled by his consciousness.

The passenger door opened and Su Qing walked up.

The body of the car is smooth and extremely hard, and it doesn't feel like you are stepping on the body of a bird.

Su Qing sat in the passenger seat and the seat belt automatically extended over her right shoulder, through her chest, and around her left abdomen.

The breasts were very conspicuous, so Gu Ran looked away.

"As lewd as you are." Su Qing raised her hand to adjust the seat belt, but after thinking carefully, what else can she do? So she gave up.

Gu Ran coughed lightly, and then said: "Shepherd, navigate to find 'Tamamonomae'."

"You have already achieved this?" Su Qing showed an interested expression.

"No." Gu Ran laughed.

Just as Su Qing was getting angry and Gu Ran was about to hold the [Cranked Pastor's Crook] in his hand, the bus started by itself.

"what?"

Su Qing knew there was no need to ask anymore.

Although it was an automatic driving car, Gu Ran still kept his hands on the steering wheel. It was a habit, and it was also just in case, and he also wanted to pretend that he was of some use.

From now on, he will firmly resist autonomous driving, just like taxi drivers, online car-hailing drivers, and private drivers.

Although both his boycott and those of the drivers were useless, this is the tide of the times.

"There's no point in finding Hera and the others. It's better to go seek revenge on Zhu Bajie," said Su Qing.

"You just want to see some mythical figures, right?"

"Have you seen 'A Pig Falls from the Sky'?" Su Qing asked him.

"No."

Su Qing didn't introduce what this TV series - she didn't know if it was a TV series - was about, she just hummed to herself: "Bajie, Bajie, you have a good heart; Bajie, Bajie, you are cutely silly; you have a fat head and big ears~"

"I can guarantee you that you will be disappointed when you see Zhu Bajie," said Gu Ran.

He didn't have the habit of swearing, so when he was talking to Su Qing about "Mythical Highway", he didn't repeat Zhu Bajie's "Fuck your mother", but only said that it cursed him.

"But let's go find 'Tamamonomae' first." Gu Ran said.

"Huh?" Su Qing was puzzled.

What seems like simple confusion actually contains the girlfriend's calm observation of her boyfriend.

"I promised it that I would protect it," Gu Ran explained.

"Okay." Su Qing said with a smile.

Under Gu Ran's conscious control, the black bus moved along the straight road.

After the initial excitement, Su Qing felt bored.

"How long will it take?" she asked.

"Shepherd, how long will it take to reach our destination?" Gu Ran also asked.

The control console slowly arched up, revealing a [cranked shepherd's crook]. The [cranked shepherd's crook] was tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, and as the bus moved forward, the angle became larger and larger.

"Turning to 90 degrees means we have reached our destination?" Su Qing said.

"It makes sense." Gu Ran nodded. "When I held the [Cranked Staff], I could vaguely feel the distance between me and the target."

When the angle reached about fifty degrees, a god appeared before my eyes.

Is a goddess.

Wait, after seeing her body shape, it should be said that she is a Valkyrie.

"Who are you?" Gu Ran didn't get out of the car, but just opened the window and asked.

"Valkyrie." The Valkyrie spoke concisely, and every word sounded like a silent, full-strength punch.

Gu Ran rested his left elbow on the window and looked sideways at Su Qing.

Su Qing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know who Valkyrie was.

It was unknown whether she was silent because of herself or because of their reactions, but after a brief silence, Valkyrie explained: "My duty is to collect the souls of those who died heroically in battle."

"You are busy." Gu Ran said.

The bus avoided her and continued on its way.

"Shepherd, please wait a moment." Valkyrie took two steps forward. "I can sense the breath of death ahead. With my speed, it will be too late to get there. Please take me with you!"

"Get in the car." Gu Ran said.

"." Valkyrie had an expression as if she had prepared a jacket, hiking shoes, various energy-replenishing foods, and held two hiking poles, but was told to take the cable car the entire way.

"Thank you." She walked to the car door and it opened automatically.

Su Qing looked at her curiously.

The bus continued to move forward at a speed of 120 km/h.

"Can I ask you a question?" Su Qing asked.

The Valkyrie sat on the left side of the second-to-last row, dressed in simple clothes from the mythological era, and looked like she was going to a film set to act.

She withdrew her gaze from the window and nodded to Su Qing.

"What is the difference between a goddess' body and a human female's body?" Su Qing asked.

"The goddess is the descendant of gods and giants. The first human woman was an elm tree. All subsequent humans, both men and women, are descendants of ash trees and elm trees." said the Valkyrie.

“Can you explain it in a scientific way?”

"I only know facts, not science," said the Valkyrie. So Su Qing gave up.

When the angle of the [Cranked Shepherd's Crook] reached sixty, a battlefield appeared before his eyes.

Six tall dwarves were still fighting a bloody battle with the wolves, and there were countless corpses on the ground.

Sensing the bus approaching, the leader wolf howled toward the sky, and the other three wolves broke away from the battlefield and quickly surrounded the bus.

"Thank you." The Valkyrie stood in front of the car door, ready to get out.

"Do you want to join the battle?" Gu Ran asked.

".I wanted to arrive after the battle was over, but now that I've caught up, I won't back off." Valkyrie said.

Su Qing looked at Gu Ran, and her meaning was very clear: You killed her, and no one else wants to join the battle.

"Please don't misunderstand me." The Valkyrie said, "I'm not afraid of death. I've said before that my duty is to collect the souls of those who died bravely in battle. I can only fulfill my duty while I'm alive. But as a Valkyrie, it's also my job to not back down in the face of battle."

"Um"

"Please don't worry and open the door." The Valkyrie held a wooden shield in her left hand - not the wood escape technique used by Hashirama Senju, but a wooden shield, and a dagger in her right hand.

After thinking about it, Gu Ran asked, "If I help you, what can you do for me?"

"I can only guide the souls of those who died heroically back to the World Tree. If you die, even if you didn't die heroically, I can still guide you."

".Is there anything else?" Gu Ran asked.

The Valkyrie shook her head slightly, "I don't, but if you can save these dwarves, they do."

"What can they do?" Gu Ran had seen several dwarves being killed with his own eyes.

If dwarves are really useful, why are they killed every time and can't they survive like Hera or Tamamonomae?

"Even people from the East should have heard of Thor's hammer. This artifact was made by the dwarves for Thor, the son of the father god Odin." said the Valkyrie.

Although he didn't know where the dwarf got the materials to make the artifact, nor did he know what the artifact was used for in the dream, Gu Ran still agreed.

In fact, if it wasn't for collecting his body, no, the reason of taking him in was too unlucky, even if it was just "I will be your slave in the next life", Gu Ran would have agreed long ago.

"Get out of the car!" he said.

The three got out of the car.

While he was speaking, the only six remaining dwarves did not fall, but they took a visibly big step towards death.

"It's up to you." Gu Ran said to Su Qing.

The black bird turned into a bus, and he is now a waste. Not to mention these wolves that can bite a three-meter-tall dwarf to death, even the white-haired nightmare can beat him like he beat the god of wine.

Amid the roar, the [Heart Wall] descended, Su Qing's shirt and jeans turned into gorgeous clothes, she held a big flag, and rode on the [Dream Beast].

call!call!
Su Qing, who now looks more like a goddess than a goddess, waved a flag and dark clouds appeared in the sky.

As the rain fell, the rain stretched and deformed, turning into shadow trees. The shadow trees took a step forward and walked towards the wolf pack.

The Valkyrie roared and charged into battle with the Shadow Tree.

The leader wolf howled and the pack of wolves charged.

The two sides were like two shovels hitting each other, making people subconsciously close their eyes.

Gu retreated and hid behind goddess Su Qing.

Su Qing couldn't take care of him. Summoning the rain required [mental energy], controlling the shadow tree required [mental energy], and tearing the shadow tree into pieces would consume [mental energy]. How could she have the mind to take care of him?

But Gu Ran is not without effect.

When one dwarf was killed, he did not take action; when the second dwarf died, he still did not take action; when the third dwarf died, he thought that with more than half of the dwarf dead or injured, it was a bit embarrassing.

then.

"Let's put on our white coats."

"Doctor Gu, please take off your clothes."

Nurse AB laughed and reset the time.

"Ah!" The Valkyrie let out a battle cry and rushed forward with the shadow tree.

"You, be careful!" Gu Ran reminded the first dwarf who died, but the dwarf didn't listen and was killed.

"You, you, be careful!"

The second dwarf listened a little bit and instead of being tackled he fell down on his own, but still died.

"You, you, you, be careful!"

The third one avoided it in time.

"Gu Ran!" Su Qing suddenly spoke.

Gu Ran turned his head and saw that the Valkyrie was dead.

"Hehe~" Nurse AB's posture didn't seem like she was waiting for orders, but more like she was waiting for Gu Ran to beg her.

"Ah!" The Valkyrie roared and rushed forward with the shadow tree.

Although Gu Ran did not transform this time, the bus also needs to "consume fuel", so his [mental strength] is not enough to support him to use [Nurse AB] multiple times.

Fortunately, time was reset many times, and Su Qing, who also retained her memory, became more and more skilled. Under her control, the battle was finally ended without any injuries to anyone before Gu Ran's [mental strength] was exhausted.

The six dwarves buried their companion's body.

The Valkyrie chanted an ancient war song, the tomb glowed with light, and it seemed vaguely that souls could be seen flying towards a big tree.

The tree was completely black, lying horizontally in the mud and slowly sinking.

The Valkyrie and the six dwarves stared at the light and shadow of the tree in silence.

After the funeral, the six dwarves knelt in front of Gu Ran. Nothing Gu Ran said was of any use, so they just did whatever they wanted.

"Enough of small talk, what kind of weapons can you make for me?" Gu Ran asked.

A dwarf carefully took off the bag behind him, placed it in front of him, and then slowly opened it. Inside was a stone in the shape of a mountain.

"This is a fragment of the eyelash of Ymir, the ancestor of the giants," the dwarf said. "Father God Odin once used all of Ymir's eyelashes to turn into a giant wall. Inside the giant wall is the human world. With this eyelash, we can imitate the Wall of Sighs and build a wall for you that you can control at will."

"Not bad." Gu Ran nodded.

"But I want to melt this eyelash"

Gu Ran was a little upset. As the Chinese class representative, he couldn't stand the use of the word "lump" to describe "eyelashes".

Also, these are eyelashes!

"We need the sacred fire. Our sacred fire has gone out, and we need you, the shepherd, to provide it." The dwarf continued.

The fire spewed out by the black dragon can melt the [heart wall], I wonder if it can melt this eyelash.

Even if he could, Gu Ran couldn't do it now. His [mental energy] was almost exhausted, and he might not be able to meet them again next time.

"Are there any simple conditions?" he asked.

Another dwarf reluctantly took out a long hair from his arms.

Her long hair flashed the golden color of the wheat fields in late summer, like soft gold, yet full of vitality.

"This is a piece of hair from Thor's wife Sif. It still retains a little divine power. I can make it into two rings. Two people wearing the rings can reach each other in their dreams no matter how far apart they are."

Gu Ran didn't care that he used the word "lump" to describe the "ring".

"What did you say?" He confirmed again, "What is the function of the ring?"

"Reach each other in a dream." The dwarf looked at him as if he was either deaf or stupid.

Su Qing also watched carefully.

"What do you need from me?" Gu Ran took out his hands from his white coat.

"A piece of your hair and a piece of hair from the one you love most. If you are not each other's loved ones, you will have nightmares every night." said the dwarf.

Gu Ran looked at Amelia Su.

"I'm fine." Su Qing looked at him with a smile, as if he had a problem.

"Of course I have no problem with that!" said Gu Ran.

The dwarf wrapped the hair around the little fingers of the two people and chanted a spell while wrapping them.

"Wait a moment, the hair is confirming your intentions. If the spell works, the blonde hair will disappear. If it fails, you will be left with burn marks on your fingers."

The blond hair disappeared.

"Humph." Gu Ran smiled smugly.

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled, with the helpless expression of a wife who was out and about and watched her husband show off.

The six dwarves and the Valkyrie went together, preparing to go to the next battlefield together. The Valkyrie was responsible for the salvation of the heroic spirits, while the dwarves would collect the corpses and see if there was any usable material on them.

Gu Ran and Su Qing got on the bus and did not continue their journey.

I’m almost out of energy.

"Will it work?" Su Qing raised her hand and stared at her little finger.

"There's no time to waste, give me a kiss quickly." Gu Ran pounced on her.

"Well!"

----

《Private Diary》: Friday, October 9, in a dream
I dreamed of driving a black dragon bus with Su Qing, meeting the Valkyrie, saving the dwarves, and she made a ring for us that would allow us to meet each other in our dreams.

Let's call it 'Dream Ring'.

I have confirmed with Su Qing that it is a Black Dragon Dream. I hope the 'Dream Ring' will be useful.

With Su Qing, [Mythical Highway] really became interesting. The Black Dragon bus can seat ten people. I wonder when Aunt Jing and everyone else will be able to get on the bus.
