my dream space

Chapter 487 The three of us, leave here together
……

……

……

I don't know how long time has passed, maybe a day, a month, or even a year.

Xia Kun finally woke up from his long sleep.

His mental consciousness was blurred, countless thoughts were intertwined and mixed together, mixed with fragmented memories, there was no logic at all before and after these memories, and Xia Kun's own thinking ability seemed to have stagnated, he struggled to get out of the sand. He got up and stared blankly at the desert in his sight.

What am I... doing here?
Xia Kun forgot his mission, but he could faintly feel that something was wrong here.

This is not his destination.

There was long yellow sand on all sides, and Xia Kun, who didn't know where to go, decided to head in one direction.

The scorching sun scorched the yellow sandy land, and Xia Kun, who was thirsty, could clearly feel that his life was continuously transpiring.

Xia Kun finally collapsed due to exhaustion.

He lay prone in the hot desert, gradually lost consciousness, and his body was gradually buried by the yellow sand.

What did I come here for...

Xia Kun's clenched fist finally slowly loosened, and the thing in his hand fluttered with the heat wave, covering Xia Kun's cheek.

This is……

Xia Kun, who was originally unconscious, experienced a soft touch from the object.

It gently brushed Xia Kun's cheeks, exuding a strong familiar smell.

That is……

A strand of blue hair.

He didn't scorched and curled up because of the scorching sun, nor was he taken to other places by the heat wave, but kept gently stroking Xia Kun's cheeks, as if he had his own spirituality.

Xia Kun stretched out his hand tremblingly, tightly grasping the blue hair sticking to his face.

Just like the endless spinning top in the movie "Inception";
Xia Kun covered the blue silk in his hand over his chest,

Just like Qingsi, who was always by his side, the fragmented memories were gradually pieced together into complete fragments under Qingsi's awakening.

But... I haven't rescued the real Qingsi yet,

this is me...

The only reason I'm here-

Xia Kun opened his eyes again.

This time, the world in front of his eyes was a city of ruins, and the surrounding buildings were submerged in a vast ocean, only a corner or half corner was exposed, and the overgrown moss showed the sense of age.

This place... since when did it exist?
Xia Kun unconsciously had such doubts.

He held Qingsi tightly in his hand and continued to walk forward.

As we walked, the surrounding environment gradually changed.

Creatures like ghosts or ghosts began to loom around Xia Kun.

There are three openings on their faces, and each opening is like a scribbled and twisted ball of sketch. Just looking at these balls of thread will make people get lost in it unconsciously.

These people... are all creatures trapped here, right?

The related memory of endless space suddenly appeared in Xia Kun's mind.

Speaking of which... what kind of place is Endless Space?

Before the dream-making space existed, it seemed to exist in this world.

The surrounding scene seemed to become more distorted.

Looking far away, Xia Kun saw all kinds of strange things floating on the sea level on both sides: the castle on Xu Fukong Island, the huge octopus with countless tentacles, a tricycle used by giants, and half a smooth mechanical sphere .

It is as if the past, present and future overlap.

Being in the group of ghost creatures, Xia Kun's consciousness became trance again, his eyelids kept sinking, and even the hand that was holding Qingsi tightly was about to loosen involuntarily.

He seemed to hear the ancient god whispering in his ear,
"Sleep, sleep... In endless dreams, you will gain peace of mind and eternal life of soul..."

Just as Xia Kun's eyelids were about to close, an arm suddenly stretched out from the group of ghosts, grabbing Xia Kun's hand tightly.

"Don't fall asleep! Otherwise you will become like them!"

Xia Kun was awakened by this warning.

When he opened his eyes again, everything around him changed again.

Now he is in a classroom again.

Wooden desks, old podiums, red slogans.

A classroom full of age.

At this time, Xia Kun sat next to a girl.

With fluttering short hair, she pursed her lips and looked at Xia Kun with a smile, giving people a refreshing, capable and energetic feeling.

A young girl full of youth.

Xia Kun stared at the girl for a long time, and the memories in his mind automatically pieced together into a complete paragraph again.

"Yi... Aunt Yi Ling?"

"Hey, do you know me?" The girl whom Xia Kun called Yi Ling was slightly taken aback, "However, since you call me, a lovely beautiful girl, Auntie... If you are not of the same generation as my daughter I can't forgive you..."

In fact, Xia Kun has used the dream space to meet Yi Ling many times, even getting intimate with Yi Ling through Ji Hongkai's body. He does not feel strange to her at all, but feels very close to her.

But this was also the first official meeting between him and Yi Ling, and Xia Kun didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that Xia Kun was a little shy, Yi Ling smiled and stepped forward, gently patted Xia Kun's cheek.

"The reason why I saved you is because you smell like my daughter, just like the girl I saved some time ago..."

"Qingsi! Have you... seen Qingsi?"

Noticing the strand of black hair tightly clutched in Xia Kun's hand, Yi Ling immediately realized the reason, "You don't intend to save her back, do you? Well...it seems to be the case."

Yi Ling clapped her hands slightly, and the two of them arrived at a house in an instant. Xia Kun looked around at the decoration in the house, and couldn't help but froze, "This is the setting of Xiaoxuan's house..."

"Huh? Have you been to my house... Has the layout not changed for so many years? Wait... Is your relationship with my daughter so good? She doesn't usually play with her peers. I didn't expect that there would be Oh my friend……"

"Actually..." Xia Kun paused, "Your daughter and I are lovers... She even asked me to say hello to you and say hello to you."

"What?" Yi Ling had an unbelievable expression on her face, "You and my daughter are lovers? Then who is this Qingsi? Your long-lost sister?"

"Eh..." It was extremely painful for Xia Kun to explain his relationship with Zhao Linji and the others to someone who didn't know the reason, but Xia Kun still bit the bullet and explained the situation briefly.

"What, you brat is quite fickle... I knew I would not save you, how could my daughter like a heartless person like you..."

Yi Ling thumped Xia Kun's chest fiercely, and she spoke in a carefree female style. There was no way to connect her with Ji Xiaoxuan, and that world-renowned scholar.

"However... the man my daughter likes, you should have something special."

Yi Ling's palm touched Xia Kun's chest, as if she was feeling Xia Kun's heartbeat, "It's a shame you could do it... commit suicide to save your lover."

Yi Ling led Xia Kun to the attic on the second floor. The girl with blue hair that Xia Kun had been dreaming of day and night put her hands on her belly and fell asleep peacefully.

Although the current her looks almost the same as the one in the dream-making space, after suddenly seeing Qingsi whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Xia Kun walked up quickly, stroking Qingsi's cheek tremblingly.

There is a fundamental difference from the dream space, and that is her body temperature.

Just as hot as when she sticks to Xia Kun's side.

Not a cold body.

"You're still alive... as expected..."

"Fortunately I'm here..."

"That's what you said wrong. If I hadn't saved her, she would have been the same as the group of lonely ghosts outside." Yi Ling resentfully broke Xia Kun's brewing, touching reunion atmosphere.

"Those out there are—"

"People who died in a dream," Yi Ling tilted her head and said, "You don't know this, how did you learn cognitive science?"

Xia Kun shook his head, "Actually, I didn't come here with the help of the theory of cognitive science..."

It is a very long story to tell everything that happened in the past, but Xia Kun knew there would be this link before meeting Yi Ling, so he and Xiaoxuan prepared a set of explanations.

Although Xia Kun forgot part of the experience at first, the more he communicated with Yi Ling, the faster his memory recovered.

After listening to Xia Kun's story of all the encounters so far, Yi Ling also sighed. It took her a long time to recover from Xia Kun's story.

"But... at least judging from the current ending, your plan is going well, isn't it?"

Yi Ling slapped Xia Kun on the shoulder vigorously, "You guys are too outrageous to open and hang, a dream-making space where everything can be realized... How can I embarrass the research theory that I have worked hard for nearly ten years? Huh? Boy. "

"Auntie, don't, this is not the time to joke..." Xia Kun hugged Yi Linghai's head, "Qingsi...why didn't she wake up like me?"

"Because you haven't studied cognitive science well at all, which makes it a little troublesome for me to explain..."

Yi Ling paused, "Didn't I say it before, people who live here are people who died in dreams. This death has two meanings, one is that we are killed by the spiritual energy in the dream like us. existence; the other is the normal meaning, people who died in dreams."

"It may be someone who had a nightmare and was killed in the dream; it may also be a person who died suddenly in the dream and could not sleep forever; and... was killed in the dream, and even the soul could not return to the original place, I can only come to this world."

"You mean, we were killed in a waking state, so we can still maintain consciousness when we come to the dream, but it is impossible to recover the consciousness that was originally in a chaotic state in the dream, right? "

Yi Ling looked at Xia Kun in surprise, "Have you ever learned cognitive science? Tell me the truth! Or... just a reasoning process? Wow... It really is my daughter with an IQ of 200." The man above is really interesting."

"But a clear consciousness does not mean that you can stay awake like you... If you are affected by the endless space, you may also become them..."

"Okay, okay, that's what it means. The endless space is equivalent to the hell in the dream. If you want to stay awake in this world, you need a spiritual support. Of course... it can also be called obsession."

"Before you met me, you must have gone through a lot of trials, right?" Yi Ling said softly, "You should have come here with your obsession to save Qingsi and your strong mental strength..."

"Of course, this child is the same..."

Yi Ling gently stroked the back of Qingsi's hand, "When I found her, her consciousness had already become chaotic, but she kept chanting someone's name——Your name is Xia Kun, right? So What she was talking about was Ah Kun..."

"Then... is there any way to wake her up, Aunt Yi Ling?"

"If you ask someone else, it's really okay, but standing in front of you is the former dean of the Department of Psychology of Imperial Normal University, visiting professor of Brain and Cognitive Psychology at Stanford, executive director of the World Psychological Association, etc. , and most importantly, the founder of the cognitive theory, and... the guardian of the endless space."

This Aunt Yi Ling's temper is too naughty!
However, what she just mentioned made Xia Kun quite concerned.

"Endless space... a guardian?"

"Haha, I don't care about my self-proclaimed identity." Yi Ling smiled and patted Xia Kun on the shoulder, "It's just that I have been here for almost 100 years, and I still know the rules and some mechanisms of this place... "

"More than 100 years?"

Yi Ling nodded, "I set the time. According to the calendar, it has indeed been more than 100 years since I was killed by the Empathy Society. Looking at your age, it seems that there should be a time of 1:10 between endless space and the real world. The look of the interval..."

Xia Kun had been in a hurry to rescue Qingsi before, and he shouldn't have thought about other things.

But Aunt Yi Ling's understatement shocked him.

"Staying alone in the same place for more than 100 years...don't you feel lonely?"

"How can I not be lonely, of course I will be lonely..." Yi Ling smiled and patted Xia Kun's shoulder, "But loneliness is loneliness, I don't want to be like those ghosts, it's too boring. Look at me now How nice, you can conjure anything you want here, it is completely like a dream master, and it is almost the same as the ability to create a dream space you just mentioned, isn't it?"

Yi Ling still said these words to Xia Kun with a smile.

Xia Kun didn't know how Xiaoxuan's mother survived alone during the more than 100 years of exile...

He didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't imagine it.

"Then... Aunt Yi Ling, have you ever thought about leaving here?"

Xia Kun said seriously, "Although you have lost your body now, you can live in someone's dream like Senior Meng Li... If you want, you can also live in my dream space, where You can also with your daughter—”

"Well, I know why there are so many girls like you. After you have captured one, you will attack the next one. Seeing your mother-in-law's young and beautiful appearance, you are anxious to capture me, right? It's just that you can't choose what to eat! I'm An old woman who has lived for more than 100 years, you'd better think carefully before speaking..."

"I'm not joking with you, Aunt Yi Ling..." Xia Kun said seriously, "Even if you are not Xiaoxuan's mother, for your kindness to me and Qingsi, I should—"

"Don't say what you shouldn't, don't you know that you don't say thank you for your kindness?" Yi Ling pinched Xia Kun's cheek, "Besides, you should consider two issues before you speak big words. First, can you wake Qingsi up?" , this is still unknown; second, your mother-in-law, if I had a way to get out, I would have escaped long ago. You should come one by one, first resolve the matter of awakening Qingsi, and then consider the matter of leaving here—— After all, in a sense, both of you are already dead..."

"I see." Xia Kun nodded, "Wake up Qingsi first, and then we leave here together, the three of us."

The determined expression on Xia Kun's face did not seem to be joking.

Inexplicably, Yi Ling also felt that he would definitely be able to do it.
