The last person I want to meet at this moment is Qingniao.
The dream hypothesis described by Ren Sai and the memory loss that occurred in my own consciousness have shaken me slightly. If it were just like this, I would not doubt the reality, but I was already doubting it long before I met Ren Sai.
It's not reality that makes you doubt yourself, but a precognitive dream.
To make matters worse, as I continued to look back, I found that I was missing more and more memories.
I know that I am nineteen years old and a college student, but what university did I go to? Where did I study before going to college? Many things that I take for granted are full of holes inside.
If you think about it, it will fall apart.
Assume that I am really dreaming, and the blue bird is what Ren Sai said, the monitor of dreams...
Where does this almost realistic dream come from, and what is the mission of the monitor?
Qingniao spoke first, and her voice rescued me from thoughts that even I thought were absurd.
"I've seen your information, you must be Li Duo." She said as if she were a stranger, "What are you doing here?"
"That's my question, why are you here?" I asked.
"I'm asking you now. But that's right, for reasons of emotion and reason, I must introduce myself first." At this point, she suddenly summoned the thunder sword and pointed the tip of the sword at me. "I am a national first-level demon hunter.
"Jade Bird", someone reported to the Wumingshan Police Station that you were holding illegal weapons. It was also clear from the surveillance inside the train that what you were holding was the "Siren Blade". But you should be a criminal.
A person who lives an ordinary life, where did you pick up this weapon?"
It turns out that this is the reason why she is here. She followed the footsteps of me, a "dangerous element", up the mountain.
But is this reason still a bit far-fetched? How did ordinary law enforcement officers quickly identify the ax as the Siren Blade through surveillance video and contact the Blue Bird? Why did the Blue Bird meet me in the mountains by such a coincidence?
A collision? Although it is not completely impossible to defend, once you have doubts in your heart, everything you look at will be suspicious.
I really don't want to believe that I'm living in a dream, but I can't treat Ren Sai's words as if I haven't heard them.
Perhaps the most rational way is to present your doubts on the table in the most direct way, and then use the answer from the blue bird to clear all your doubts.
Seeing Qingniao pointing the lightning sword at me, I felt indescribably depressed. At the same time, I made up my mind to say what I wanted to say, "You should know the memory before going back."
"Back before?" She frowned.
"Besides, this is all just a dream." I deliberately said with a confident tone.
"What topic are you talking about?" she asked.
"Last time you made a joke to me and mentioned the love letter incident on my front desk, saying that the love letter might have been written by the front desk himself. But I recalled it before. I didn't tell you about the love letter incident last time, I just said
"The incident of the love letter did not occur in the process of retrospection, nor is it important." I thought that if she really didn't remember the memory before the retrospection, what I said was a chicken-and-duck talk.
I feel very embarrassed when I think about it, but even if there is that possibility, I still want to express my doubts face to face, "Frankly speaking, although I told you about that incident in my previous retrospective, after I finished talking about it,
I regretted it soon. Because instead of laughing at me, you encouraged me. This made me feel that I had been given unnecessary sympathy, and I felt unhappy."
"Although you said so many strange things, I'm sorry, this is the first time I've met you." She said, "Answer my question first, what are you doing here?"
Sure enough, saying that would not get any results, but I already had a plan in my mind. I said: "I came here to find the young girl who disappeared in the mountains a month ago."
"What?" She looked surprised.
"Besides, I know you are also investigating this incident." This is what Qingniao mentioned when he first met me. I continued my testing, "But do you know what the name of the young girl is? You can't possibly know.
, because this is my dream. If I don’t know a person’s name, it means I haven’t made it up yet, and you have no way of knowing it.”
"Listen up, I don't know if you came up with these ideas yourself, or someone else instilled them in you..." she said, "These are so ridiculous, you first tell me where the weapons in your hands come from.
Did someone give it to you? And instilled these ridiculous thoughts into you?"
I did not answer her question. Assuming that she was the so-called monitor, I could never tell her who told me these things. Because that would be equivalent to exposing my own intelligence details, which would give her ideas for weaving her explanation.
.
But I hope she isn't, so I also hope she can be indifferent to what I say next.
"I have thought of a way to prove it, which is to make up a name for the little girl now and confirm it later. Although I can't leave Wuming Mountain now, it doesn't matter if I wait until the next time I go back and find someone who knows her to confirm it."
I raised the ax slightly, "For example... this ax is called 'Siren Blade', then I might be able to name her 'Ren Sai', or something else... if
If it is confirmed that her name is consistent with mine, then it means that this place is really my dream."
This is my last test. Suppose I am the monitor and Jade Bird is the dreamer; and I have the intervention power of "adding new settings to the dream characters that are not inconsistent with the old settings" as described by Ren Sai, but I do not want Jade Bird to
If you can prove that you are dreaming, then you will make up a new name for the little girl, tell it to the other person, and then let the other person confirm it.
Judging from what Ren Sai said, the monitors were unable to detect our conversation here, and they probably didn't know that the young girl already had a name.
This is already the best strategy that I can think of after racking my brains. I can only leave it to fate to how far it can be achieved. In the end, I don’t understand the details of the so-called monitor’s abilities at all. Maybe this
The method is just trying to be clever.
Or maybe the theory of dreams was a highly completed prank from the beginning.
When I finished speaking, Qingniao was silent for a moment. I waited quietly for her response, but her words made my heart sink into silence.
"Although I don't know why you are looking for 'Qiao Licorice'..." She said a name I had never heard of, "but you'd better not have any wrong ideas."
I took a few deep breaths to sort out the mixed emotions, and then said, "Follow me."
"Where are you going?" She chased after him.
I came to the place where the young girl was hiding and picked her up from the tree. When the blue bird saw this scene, its expression changed significantly.
"Tell this sister, what is your name?" I said.
The young girl said cautiously: "Hello, sister. My name is Ren Sai."
The blue bird fell into a long silence.
"So..." I looked straight at her, "Am I really dreaming?"
After a long time, her shoulders lost their strength.
"Yes." She said, "This world, this nameless mountain... are all phantoms constructed within your consciousness. They are your dreams."
After receiving her personal confirmation, my thoughts seemed to be frozen, or broken into pieces by a heavy hammer, scattered all over the floor.
What Ren Sai said is actually true... No, there are other possibilities, such as Ren Sai and Jade Bird teaming up to deceive me... What is the motive? How to explain my lack of memory? Could it really be Ren Sai?
Some force of consciousness erased parts of my memory...but...
"Did the outsider tell you that? She is now separated from the role of the missing young girl?" Qingniao said complicatedly, "I have been tracking her, but I have never seen her face even once. She also said to you
What? You have to be careful, she may be the culprit that makes this dream so dangerous."
"You haven't seen her?" I forced myself to think, "She said that her spirit body was seriously injured. Wasn't that caused by you?"
"Severely injured? Is she injured? Who did it?" She was confused at first, then said, "Compared to this, the demon hasn't come here yet... How did you avoid the demon's induction? The secret talisman I gave you should
Has it been traced back?"
She no longer hides her memories of the past.
"It was backtracked. So now I use the method of erasing the aura to avoid the induction." I answered.
"How can the method of erasing the aura avoid the Demon's induction?" She said with confusion, "Even the amulet I gave you can't avoid it. It was specially made by me to target the Demon's induction. Ah...
…”
She seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly covered her mouth.
But it's too late.
The sound of the demon's unabashed footsteps, like a cannonball falling to the ground, could be heard in the distance, and those footsteps were approaching at an extremely fast speed.
I realized: It turns out that the reason why the demon didn't notice me was not because I killed my own aura, but because as a dreamer, I thought it would be useful, and that's all.
But now, this "magic" has lost its effectiveness!
"Wait a minute, I'll give you the amulet right away!" Qingniao hurriedly dug into his pockets, and at the same time, he actually worried about the little girl beside him, "Your name is Ren Sai, right? Hurry up and hide! Ah, it's too late, get on my back first
!”
"No, it's not necessary." I immediately carried the little girl on my back, grabbed the blue bird's hand, and ran quickly away from the demon.
If this place is really just my dream, then I should be able to break through this mountain forest.
Why did I get mysteriously lost when I climbed the unknown mountain? Why could I never leave once I entered the mountain forest? Now I seem to have found the truth. Because this mountain forest is embodied in my memories. I have a deep understanding of this mountain forest.
Lin's memories are of such a place as "a place you can never go back to after you regain your senses."
But is it really impossible to turn back? Not so. Because I was eventually rescued by the search and rescue team. While running fast, I closed my eyes and recalled the feelings at that time.
A light like a searchlight appeared vaguely at the end, and I could see it even with my eyes closed. I ran towards the place where the light was. The light became bigger and bigger, and when the entire field of vision was occupied by the light, I opened my eyes involuntarily.
.
Looking around, we have returned to the normal mountain road. But the time is not day, but night. The previous light has disappeared like an illusion.
"I'm actually back..." Qingniao sighed beside me.
Another fact that can prove that this is my dream... I silently let go of her hand, and then said: "I still have many things to ask you, will you answer me?"
She looked at her hands, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes."
We returned to the scenic spot at the foot of the mountain.
To be continued...
