Chapter 263 Coral Dream
“Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding ding!!”

The alarm clock rang in his ears, tearing the boundary between dreams and reality. Xia Shou slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.

"call--"

I dreamed about high school again, and also dreamed about Su Weiyu.

When Wei Yu suddenly said that she wanted to choose him as her dance partner, it was like she had suddenly won the jackpot, but it was interrupted at the critical moment.

"What you think about during the day, you dream about at night..."

I feel a little lost for some reason.

But if they really met in that situation, it certainly wouldn't have turned out that way.

Not to mention anything else, just that appearance was basically a dimensionality reduction attack if it were a student.

"Let's go find Wei Yu for breakfast." Xia Shou intended to use this method to calm his melancholy mood and alleviate the feeling of unreachable distance between himself and Su Wei Yu in his dream.

Xia Shou took out his cell phone and called Su Weiyu, who picked up the call immediately.

"Hey?"

"Wei Yu, are you up? Let's go have breakfast together."

"Um...you eat by yourself today, I have something to do." Su Weiyu hesitated and rejected Xia Shou's invitation.

Xia Shou frowned slightly: "What are you busy with?"

"It's nothing, eat more breakfast! I'll come to see you at noon!"

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone directly.

Xia Shou sighed heavily, his already low mood became even worse. Although he had a good dream last night, after waking up he felt even more depressed when he thought about his terrible job and the daily life of a corporate slave.

"Forget it, let's go to work."

In the dormitory next door, Su Weiyu got up earlier than Xia Shou. As soon as she woke up, she went to the library's archive self-service machine to look up information. She searched with keywords such as coral, thirsty teeth, and invasion of dreams, looking for information related to the coral crown.

When she encountered a banned item that she wanted to use but had no instruction manual, Su Weiyu realized firsthand the hard work of the researchers at the Control Bureau.

In order to test out the specific usage rules of a forbidden object, the research department has to spend a lot of effort. She now really hopes that she has an ability to see through the forbidden object directly, so that she can directly present the usage details and taboos of the forbidden object in the form of an instruction manual in detail.

Su Weiyu bit her nails, slid her fingers quickly across the touch screen, and searched back and forth on the introduction entries containing the keywords.

From time to time, she would click on a related entry, quickly browse the specific content, and when she found that the content did not meet her expectations, she would immediately close it. Even when she received Xia Shou's invitation to have breakfast, she hesitated and refused.

Eating together is no longer enough to satisfy her, she wants to prolong her dream!
"Ah! This!"

Su Weiyu suddenly pressed the sliding screen and locked her eyes on a file titled "Coral Dream".

【Coral Dream】

[Introduction: A unit story recorded in an unknown ancient book. From the content of the ancient book, it can be judged that the author believed in the Thirst Fang. Based on some story fragments, it can be determined that this ancient book is extremely old, and some stories are confirmed to be quite credible. ]

[Specific content: This article tells the story of the Beast Prince and the Mermaid (Let me translate this "Prince" in this way. The Beast Prince here should not be understood as the prince of wild beasts or wild animals, nor should it be regarded as the anthropomorphic form of wild beasts. In most chapters of this book, beasts do not only refer to unintelligent beasts, but more to creatures that respect their instincts.)]

Then, the real story begins.

[In the third year after the Beast King ate the thousandth mountain, he fell into a temporary sleep. In order to prepare drinking water for his father after he woke up, the Beast Prince took his teeth and grew into a kettle. He headed westward to fill the sea into the kettle.

The Beast Prince trudged to the seaside on foot and sank the tooth pot into the sea. The sea level began to drop, and waves and tsunamis surged in and were filled into the tooth pot.

On the first day, the sea level dropped, and countless crabs, fish, and turtles were stranded on the shallows. The tooth pot could no longer draw in more sea water. He said, "This won't do. This alone won't be enough to quench my father's thirst after he wakes up."

So the Beast Prince set out alone with firm steps towards the depths of the ocean. He came to a reef that was no longer covered by sea water and put the tooth pot into the water again. The sea water began to sink, and the swordfish and ■■ and ■■ all floated to the surface of the sea, begging the Beast Prince to stop this behavior.

"Please, Your Highness, you can't continue to pour water. The bird god is sleeping peacefully. Don't disturb him."

"What is a bird god? When my father wakes up, he will swallow the entire ocean!"

The Beast Prince opened his mouth wide and swallowed all the fish that came to persuade him.

The sea level continued to drop, and the huge whale was stranded on the cold and hard reef. When the Beast Prince opened his mouth to it, it said that it was not worried about being eaten because it would swim into the Beast Prince's dream.

On the third day, the sea level had dropped to a place deeper than the highest mountain on land. Countless dead jellyfish formed a sticky road. The Beast Prince looked at the bottomless abyss, encouraged himself in his heart, and continued on his way with the tooth pot, heading deeper into the sea.

The road was long, and he kept walking towards the dry deep sea. The light above his head had disappeared, so he used the light from the head of the dead lantern fish to illuminate the way ahead. The sound of non-existent birdsong intermittently rang in his ears, but the Beast Prince gradually became fearless.

He filled the tooth pot with seawater as he walked forward. The road under his feet was no longer filled with corpses, but with corals. The ghosts of dead sea beasts and fish entangled him all the way, their complaints became clearer, and exhaustion penetrated deep into his bones. "I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore. I need to rest." The Beast Prince murmured, looking for a suitable place to rest.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, a coral sofa (combined with the following text, this should be a resting device for sitting or lying down, so it will be temporarily translated as a sofa) appeared in the Beast Prince's field of vision. He cheered, sat on it immediately, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep and sweet dream.

In his dream, he saw a mermaid, and the mermaid was so beautiful...】

Su Wei Yu kept scrolling down, and the text, which was nearly two thousand words, described the beauty of the mermaid in various ways.

The ancients used words such as "sinking fish and falling geese" and "the moon and flowers are ashamed" to describe the beauty of mermaids. This story also uses the self-sacrifice of marine creatures to highlight the beauty and kindness of mermaids. The whales asked the killer whales to take out their own whale bones so that they could build a palace for the mermaids. No matter how the mermaids refused, the three thousand whales finally donated all their whale bones.

Pale ribs formed the beams of the palace, and starfish held hands to form a roof.

The sea serpent squeezed out venom from its teeth and asked the bird god to make it into a unique perfume. The clam spirit that had lived for ten thousand years opened its big mouth to become a soft bed for her to rest. All the creatures in the ocean worked together and fed the mermaid as if they were dizzy.

Then the mermaid turned around and fell in love with the Beast Prince!
"This is too bitchy." Seeing this, Su Weiyu couldn't help but frown slightly and complain.

This beast prince came to your house with the artifact and burned, killed and looted, slaughtering all your marine compatriots, eating those who could be eaten and using the corpses that could not be eaten as carpets. But when he came to you, you were tempted!

Love-sick and ungrateful, this mermaid is really not suitable to be the heroine of the story.

And this Beast Prince is also a weirdo. He also fell in love with the mermaid at first sight, but his confession line was to ask the mermaid to eat him!

The text also uses thousands of words to describe how the Beast Prince describes his own "deliciousness", saying how good and fragrant his body tastes, and that he hopes the mermaid will not kill him when she eats him.

Of course, this request was rejected by the mermaid, and Su Weiyu almost lost her patience when she saw this.

This fantasy story with illogical plot development didn't seem to contain what she wanted to know.

But just as she was about to close the text, she saw what she wanted to see. The story finally mentioned dreams!
The mermaid told the Beast Prince that the place where he was sleeping now was exactly where the Dream Picker Bird had briefly landed when it flew. That beautiful coral would lead the sleeper into the deepest dream, where there was no difference between dreams and reality, and no boundaries between wakefulness and sleep.

He was dreaming at the moment and could not wake up from the dream.

Because the Dream Picker Bird dominates the dreams of all things, he will eventually die in his sleep.

The mermaid said: "Drink my blood, as long as you are in the sea, I can bear all the pain for you."

"No! No! I don't want to drink your blood. Since I must die, just eat me." The Beast Prince begged bitterly.

Mermaid: “This is a dream.”

The Beast Prince was desperate. In the dream, the other party could not eat his real body.

"Drink my blood, wake up, and come to me." said the mermaid emotionally.

So, the Beast Prince drank the other's blood.

He died after suffering a thousand tortures in his dream, but woke up in the rising sea water.

The tooth pot placed beside him had fallen over, and the surging sea water kept gushing out from the mouth of the pot, but the bird singing far away in the abyss was still clear. The Beast Prince understood that it was the last tolerance and warning. He did not pick up the tooth pot, but still used his surging brute force to pull up the coral bed under the warning of the Dream Picker Bird.

He carried the coral bed on his back and walked along the path he had walked before, returned to the land, and when he looked back, the ocean had returned to its original state.

At the end of the story, many years later, Lady Scissors was lying on this coral bed and dreamed of the story of the Beast Prince and the Mermaid. So Lady Scissors took a piece of the coral bed and made it into a princess crown to commemorate the mermaid in the story.

"That's right! This is it!" Su Weiyu's eyes sparkled, she was sure it wasn't wrong.

In this way, perhaps you can directly find the specific instructions for the coral crown without having to guess blindly.

At the end of the document, there is a personal note from the translator:

[It is true that Lady Scissors took coral blocks from the coral bed to make a crown. The Control Bureau found corresponding historical evidence on the murals inside the Egyptian pyramids, but what is strange is that the special anomalies left on this ancient book prove that the book was written much earlier than Egyptian civilization.

So it was this ancient book that predicted the behavior of the named "Lady of the Golden Scissors" who was born in ancient Egypt.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Lady Golden Scissors took the initiative to complete the prophecy in the ancient books.

To this day, this coral crown has appeared in the dreams of many people, but its whereabouts in reality is still unknown. 】

Below this sentence, there were also 3D color models and stereoscopic perspective images of the coral crowns that people had imagined in their dreams. Although there were huge differences in the details, Su Weiyu still recognized that this was the one she had fished out from the sea of ​​thirst and indulgence.

Su Weiyu frowned, feeling disappointed.

In the end, the control bureau didn't study this crown.

It seems that she can only rely on herself to study the specific usage methods.
