Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 171 Whisper
Finally... Shi Fei returned to his home in a daze.

"What's wrong? Do you believe what I said?" Lu Nanxing looked at the distraught Shi Fei and smiled slightly.

He has been waiting here for Shi Fei to come back.

Because he knew Shi Fei would definitely come back!

This is Shi Fei’s “home”!
In any sense of the word "home".

If Shi Fei died, another person would soon replace him, go to work and go home like him, eat noodles at the noodle shop at the door, and greet the boss familiarly, as if he had been eating noodles for a long time.

The Dream City needs enough "dreamers", and new "dreamers" will continue to appear, like "refreshing".

"What's the point of being alive?" Shi Fei stood on the balcony, looking at the lawn downstairs, muttering to himself.

Work, salary, house, future...

Everything is a dream, everything is false, everything is meaningless.

He dreams every day, and the world in his dreams is just like the real world. For example, in Tianlong's dream, there is an overseas world with countless ships and sailors.

And now, he was like the sailor in his dream.

No, he is not even as good as the sailors in his dreams. At least they have their own past, relatives and stories.

And he had nothing. No parents, no past, no friends, nothing.

Looking at the lawn downstairs, he even had the urge to jump down.

Maybe if I jump, there won't be so many problems.

Maybe if I jump down, I will wake up from the dream?
To jump or not to jump?
"Since you know the truth of the world and accept the truth of the world, why don't you pursue the 'truth'?" Lu Nanxing's voice sounded from behind him, shocking him all over.

"Is there really a 'real' world?" Shi Fei asked, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, and he turned around suddenly.

"Of course!" Lu Nanxing nodded, "I come from the 'real' world."

"Can someone like me... also go to the real world?" Shi Fei's voice trembled a little.

He is just a person in a dream, how can he reach the real world?

"I'm not sure." Lu Nanxing shook his head. "Some people were originally from the real world, but became 'dream people' for some reason. You may be the same."

"Of course, it is also possible that you are the 'dream person' in the dream city and cannot reach the real world. But... what if?" Lu Nanxing's voice was a little bewitching.

What if he could reach the real world?

What if he was originally a real person, but was trapped here for some reason?
This glimmer of hope was an irresistible temptation for Shi Fei.

Shi Fei couldn't refuse at all.

He wants to try and find the real world!
For a moment, life seemed to have meaning.

Go and pursue the "truth"!
"Okay! What should we do?" Shi Fei asked firmly.

"Tell me everything about Shi Zichen first!" Lu Nanxing looked directly at Shi Fei with a serious tone, "He is my partner, and he came into the dream from the real world with me. Now, he is missing!"

Shi Fei suddenly realized, no wonder the man in the windbreaker always looked so strange.

Maybe in Shi Fei's eyes, it is August now, but for Shi Zichen, the time here may be completely different.

"I've told you everything I know!" Shi Fei said frankly, "I've told you everything I know. There's nothing to hide."

Lu Nanxing frowned.

He did not hear any useful clues about Shi Zichen from Shi Fei's words. "So, what about that mysterious six-story building?" Lu Nanxing finally asked the real purpose of his trip.

Uncovering the truth of the world and winning over Shi Fei are all for the purpose of understanding the secret of that six-story building.

"That place!" Shi Fei thought for a moment and said, "It's quite interesting there, there are many interesting people there..."

He recounted in detail his experiences in the Church of the Supreme God.

Eating at buffets, playing cards, chatting...there is nothing that cannot be talked about.

"Really?" Lu Nanxing was skeptical, frowning.

If that place was really so ordinary, why did Shi Zichen disappear there?

"Of course!" Shi Fei picked up a thin booklet printed on coated paper from the table in the bedroom and handed it to Lu Nanxing, "Look, I still have the promotional materials they printed here. If there really is a problem there, how could I..."

Before he could finish his words, the booklet suddenly flipped automatically and then flew into the air.

A trace of ominous black air seeped out from the booklet, as if something was awakening.

"Huh?" Shi Fei was shocked and had no idea what was going on.

"Run!" Lu Nanxing reacted quickly, grabbed Shi Fei's wrist, and slammed open the door, "Run quickly!"

The two rushed out of the room in a panic. They didn't dare to take the elevator, so they could only run down the stairs.

"What is that!" Shi Fei asked as he ran, with fear in his voice.

"I don't know! It may be some special mechanism of the Dream City!" Lu Nanxing answered panting, "Not too many people here will be allowed to know the truth!"

This was also his guess.

If everyone in the Dream City knew that this was a dream, wouldn't everything be messed up?
While running, Lu Nanxing suddenly stopped and asked, panting, "Isn't your house on the seventh floor?"

For ordinary small high-rise buildings, the second to seventh floors are relatively cheap. Shi Fei's home is on the seventh floor.

Shi Fei also realized that something was wrong - they had been running for a long time, but were still on the stairs, as if they would never reach the end.

"It's broken!" The two realized the seriousness of the problem at the same time.

They looked up at the top of the stairs and saw endless darkness slowly descending, like a huge mouth that swallowed everything, pouncing towards the two of them.

Lu Nanxing knew that he probably couldn't escape this time.

He shouted: "Remember! You can't touch the truth, everything is a dream..."

Shi Fei had no time to respond.

In addition to Lu Nanxing's words, he also heard another voice, low and distant, as if coming from the depths of a dream:
"In a drunken dream, there will be no disasters forever!!!"

The darkness dissipated, and Fang Yuan walked out of it. He looked at Lu Nanxing, who was dissipating like a bubble, and then looked at Shi Fei, who was lying unconscious on the stairs.

He came to Shi Fei and whispered softly: "Life is like a dream, why cling to vanity? Raise your glass, let us meet you in drunkenness. Wine is your gift, and it is the bridge to the dream."

"Praise you, God of Drunkenness, may your dreams last forever, and may our intoxication last forever. In this illusory world, we are with you until the moment of awakening."

"We are with you until the moment you wake up!"

After finishing reading, he carried the unconscious Shi Fei, walked up the stairs, and slowly went upstairs!
