Alien Dust

Chapter 272 Intersecting Dreams
The "Yu Yu" in front of him widened his round eyes, and his little face was filled with shock!
"You...I..." Yu Yu spoke incoherently, as if trying hard to defend herself. However, when she thought that she must be a mute, the words could not come out of her mouth.

Soon, Yu Yu's cheeks turned red, and her neck also turned pink. What's interesting is that very fine feathers appeared on her red skin due to fear and embarrassment. The feathers were as white as jade and snow, covering her cheeks and neck.

"So who are you, and why did you create such a scene and pretend to be my sister?"

"No, strictly speaking, you are not pretending to be my sister. You are casting a spell similar to an illusion on my mind, allowing me to see the scenes in my memory, and at the same time tampering with the events in my memory..."

"You have to know that people's memories are not a complete recording of the scene at that time. It is more of a result of the neurons in their brain filling in the blanks through the most impressive scenes at that time. So when people recall a certain period of time in the past, it is mostly from a third-person perspective. Similarly, my sister can talk and make such a pretentious voice like an anime girl. This is also a result of my memory. Are you reading my memory and weaving an illusion?"

Wu Hen stood in front of this "Yu Yu" and described all this with clear logic.

Seeing that Wu Hen could tell all this so clearly, Yu Yu couldn't help but sigh. The clear and pure girlish look in her eyes was gone, and turned into a pool of cold snow water.

"Did you see through it the moment you opened your eyes?" Yu Yu asked.

"That's not the case. The bright morning light and the bustling atmosphere of the old street made me doubt for a few moments. I suspected that I was still trapped in a virtual game called Alien Desert. This was actually a certain expectation in my heart. I hoped that everything that happened after the moment I put on the virtual helmet was actually the content of the virtual game. This virtual game is so real that it simulates all the characters and scenes in reality and reverses them to create a magnificent story that makes me immersed in it and unable to wake up... But the human brain actually has a strong recognition ability, including everyone's thinking. In fact, there is no essential difference between the real and the false. The difference lies in which one is more 'irrational'." Wu Hen explained.

Unreasonable more...

Yu Yu lowered his head and began to think.

She was actually reflecting on what was so unreasonable about all the things she had created.

"Okay, you are a sober traveler, so why are you lost?" Yu Yu asked.

"First tell me what you are and what are all this that I see?" Wu Hen looked at Licheng, which seemed to have gone back in time.

"If I were to give it a name in your language, I would call it the Ancient Dream Demon." said Yu Yu, who called himself a dream demon.

"Dream demon? Are you making dreams for me?" Wu Hen said with some surprise.

"Yes, you have stepped into a desolate land. There shouldn't be any life wandering here, but there are always some lost travelers who stray into it. They get lost here... A life is in pain before and after being lost, and will release a smell similar to that of bitter lotus seeds. We have been here for a long time, and we don't want any lost people to end up in such pain. So we will capture the memories in their minds and weave a dream for them before they are completely lost. This dream is the day they most want to return to in their hearts." Yu Yu replied.

"It sounds great, I hope you really have no ill intentions." Wu Hen said.

"We don't have the concept of good and evil. We also feed on dreams. We are also immortal in other people's dreams." Yu Yu said.

"Yes, we are the ones to judge what is good and what is evil. For now, let's regard you as a kind and simple dream elf. But I don't really need to rely on dreams to support me to move forward. I appreciate your kindness." Wu Hen said.

"You can walk around and see for me if there are any loopholes in this dream I created. Not every traveler in the Otherworldly Desert has the courage to face everything like you. Their spiritual pillars are no longer in this world. I hope that when they really come to the dream I carefully prepared for them, they will not have so many doubts, which will affect their experience." Yu Yu said.

"Sorry, I have other things to do. Since you can absorb my memory, you should know that my sister is waiting for me ahead. I don't know whether the alien immortal who took her away is good or evil. Even if he is good, it is a generous good, or the kind of strong good that will annihilate personal thoughts. You can tear off the dream cloth. I need to explore more bizarre areas in the alien wasteland and gain higher-level perception." Wu Hen said.

"Well, you are really a very rational traveler. After you leave the dream, please walk towards the rain. It should be able to guide you out of this desolate area." Yu Yu said.

Wu Hen nodded and looked towards the familiar Licheng. To be honest, the world created by the ancient dream demon was nothing but a virtual world that was terrifying to think about. If he kept falling down like this, one day when he raised his head, the light in the world above his head where he originally lived would become smaller and dimmer.

Dream fog began to appear around me, blurring everything around me: the rising sun in the sky, the mountains in the distance, the old city streets in front of me, the old buildings nearby, the bright girl in front of me...

Suddenly, Wu Hen remembered something!

He hurriedly grabbed the slender arm of the girl in front of him and said anxiously: "Wait a moment, wait a moment."

Yu Yu raised his head blankly, with a hint of joy in his eyes, thinking that this calm traveler had finally changed his mind and actually wanted to wander in this dream.

"It is a very pleasant thing for a person who can control dreams. This is a dream, so you can also do anything you have dared to think of but not do. Since you clearly realize that this is a dream, why not stay for a while, just as a tour." Yu Yu smiled.

"You misunderstood. I woke up with my classmates. If I landed on the body of a traveler who was on the verge of losing his way, and this traveler was captured by you and turned into your dream nest for you to live in, then what about them? Are they in the same situation as me, also captured by your dream demon companions, and are they dreaming a great dream of the Spring and Autumn Period?" Wu Hen asked.

"You mean, you are actually the awakeners, not the original souls of the lost?" The Dark Ancient Dream Demon suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that her dream was so bad, but a lost person saw through it at a glance. If that was true, she would not be able to raise her head in front of other dream demon sisters in the future. "Well, I woke up in tandem with them. Since I landed on the edge of the wasteland where you Dark Ancient Dream Demons roam, they should be nearby. Please help me find them. They may not have the clear cognition that I do. They may be trapped in the body of the lost person by you, and then they will never wake up again." Wu Hen said.

"But they don't want to wake up. Doesn't it mean that the world they yearn for in their hearts is this? They are also tired and want to rest. Not everyone has clear cognition, firm direction, and indomitable spiritual will like you. They just want to live this life comfortably, happily and without any waves." Yu Yu said puzzled.

"I promised them that I would take good care of them," said Wu Hen.

"But they may be smiling happily. They don't need your protection. Your kindness is forced." Yu Yu said.

"I didn't say I'm a good person. What does it have to do with me whether they are happy or not? But as aspiring young people, if they are addicted to Internet cafes and don't study hard, as a classmate I will also slap them a few times." Wu Hen said.

“…” Yu Yu was speechless.

"Where are they?" Wu Hen asked.

"Like you, I am also on the edge of the wasteland, and should also be in the dream woven by my fellow tribesmen." Yu Yu said.

"Then please ask your fellow tribesmen to stop dreaming about them. We have other things to do." Wu Hen said.

“I can’t do this, but…but there are actually no barriers between the dreams we create. If your classmates have similar dreams to you, then your dream worlds will slowly merge, and you can also meet in your dreams.” Yu Yu said.

Will dreams merge with each other?
According to inherent cognition, everyone's dream should be an independent world, which is infinite and non-cyclical, and is parallel to other people's dreams.

But the dream demon said that their dreams would intersect.

"Then don't let me wake up yet. I'll go to school to look for them and see if they are NPCs in the dream, or if they are awakened people like me." Wu Hen said.

"Well, you can go and take a look. I have to accompany you. Since you are a lucid dreamer, you will question everything in the dream. Your questioning will cause everyone around you to be hostile to you. After all, you are trying to erase this world. My companionship with you will alleviate this hostility and can also cover for you." Yu Yu said.

"Okay, I hope they don't do anything out of line." Wu Hen said.

"It's hard to say. Some people who dream while awake often do things in their dreams that are disgusting," said Yu Yu.

The corner of Wu Hen's mouth twitched. It seemed that this ancient dream demon had witnessed the diversity of human beings.

……

Everything in Licheng was normal. Wu Hen passed through the old city and arrived at the junction of the new city and the old city. The school gate also appeared in front of him.

There is a security guard at the door.

His eyes were sharp as he looked Wu Hen up and down.

"Didn't you drop out of school? If you dropped out, why are you coming to school so early in the morning?" The security guard showed strong hostility and had no intention of letting Wu Hen enter the school.

Wu Hen frowned. He had already felt the "hostility" that Meng Yao mentioned.

"I forgot to take something, so I came here to get it and say goodbye to my classmates who I have been with for two and a half years." Wu Hen explained.

"Whatever it is, tell me and I'll get it for you. As for saying goodbye, there's no need. They're about to take the college entrance exam, and there's no need to disturb their studies." The security guard was full of malice and even intended to stop him.

Wu Hen was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

I am Lord Wu Hen, a man who has saved the world, who can block the sun, moon and stars above and kill high-dimensional insects below. I am the peerless supreme and only strong man in the universe who was selected from billions of people. How could I be stopped by you, an arrogant and domineering security guard at the school gate? ?
