Welcome to the world of strange dreams

"My lord is so worried about you."

After entering the room, Lu Dachui stretched out a finger and gently tapped Fu Minghui's forehead.

I added a long paragraph of thoughts in my mind: It's far beyond my colleagues and subordinates, right? He didn't realize it himself, but fortunately there was no one else in the corridor, otherwise this secret would have been discovered by other places. You two, if you don't prepare yourself in advance, you may be in trouble in the future.

Fu Minghui ignored him and just looked around.

There is a sofa in the middle of the room that looks very comfortable, and there are many instruments around it. There are also paintings that look pleasant and soothing.

"I'll electrocute you." Lu Dachui did it skillfully.

But Fu Minghui knew he was joking, so she was not afraid. "The instrument makes me feel safe," she said softly.

She was just nervous, but also vaguely looking forward to it.

Her life seemed incomplete, maybe this would make it complete?

"Don't worry." Lu Dachui said seriously for once, "I and the equipment will monitor your physical condition in time. If your brain is overloaded, I will stop immediately."

He paused and continued, "But there is a soft ball, and you hold it in your hand. If the memory scares you, you can squeeze it immediately. On my side, it will end immediately."

"I fell asleep, how could I remember these in my dream?" Fu Minghui wondered.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a ball being stuffed into her hand, soft as if she were holding a cloud. But at the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, causing her to cry out.

"It's really electric current, used to strengthen the mind." Lu Dachui said lightly.

Fu Minghui found a red mark on his wrist, as if he was burned, but the pain before that was far greater than the pain of the injury itself.

This pain seems to be really imprinted in the brain.

This made her feel that not only was she sleeping, but it was an abnormally light sleep under hypnosis. Even if she was unconscious, she could still remember the pain and associate it with the corresponding actions.

Science can sometimes be really scary and can indeed influence people's instinctive consciousness.

"But why do you say that? Why do I feel fear when I'm looking for my memories? Why can't I be happy? Happy?" she asked curiously.

If she could go back to the past, when her parents were still alive and her Rourou was still alive, wouldn't that be the happiest time of her life?

"Humans are a strange race." Lu Dachui laughed bitterly. "Fear seems to be innate, far surpassing other emotions. In dreams, fear will be magnified. Even if it is a beautiful memory, the flaws in it will become a ghost chasing you. Moreover, the fear of loss is engraved in the bones and will not disappear in dreams. The pain of loss is the greatest evil ghost, but believe me, we can face it together."

He had never been so serious and gentle before, which inexplicably made Fu Minghui calm down a little.

She hid in the sofa recliner, which was indeed so comfortable that it made her want to sigh. Then she realized that from this half-lying angle, she could see the ceiling.

There are some quite abstract designs on the roof, which are quite beautiful in various colors.

Then, Lu Dachui asked her to put on headphones, from which soothing music came. There was also an inexplicable buzzing sound in the background, like white noise, or as if someone was whispering in the distance.

"Are you ready?" asked Lu Dachui.

Fu Minghui nodded.

"Don't be afraid, let's start." Lu Dachui said again.

This sentence, the voice seemed to merge with the voice in the distance.

And overhead, the abstract paintings began to flow.

What a beautiful kaleidoscope, it reminded her of the first toy her father made for her.

A snap of fingers sounded, both far and near.

Fu Minghui only felt that he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already in another place.

I am asleep.

This is not a border.

Two thoughts naturally came to her mind.

This feeling is actually somewhat magical. I was clearly hypnotized, but I don't know how it was done.

In the movies, don’t the hypnotist always hold a pendant or something and wave it in front of the hypnotized person’s eyes?

But Lu Dachui had none of that.

It seemed like I was still talking, lying comfortably, listening to white noise, and watching kaleidoscopes in the last second. The next second, I was asleep.

The important thing is that she knows that she is in a hypnotic state, not reality, and she will not confuse reality with dreams.

At least for the time being.

Is it a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness? She seemed to remember Lu Dachui saying: This state can stimulate the cerebral cortex and bioelectricity more deeply...

She calmed herself down and looked at everything in front of her.

It was as if there was a line between heaven and earth, dividing the two scenes.

The place where she stood was an empty place.

Outside, it was dry and bright, but there was nothing.

But not far in front of her, there was darkness, as if the sunlight was blocked by something, or there was a high cliff in the distance, completely refracting it into a shadowy place.

With just one step forward, she could instantly go from empty light to complex darkness.

She looked down at her left hand, and the soft ball was still there. If she squeezed it, Lu Dachui would pull her back. But if she did that, she would never see the secrets of the past.

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her fear of the unknown and the inexplicable excitement of solving the mystery, and stepped in.

Small street, small street at night.

There were extremely high buildings on both sides, flattening the alley in the middle into a long strip. It was like a black snake, twisting and winding, extending forward.

There were no street lights, and there were no lights in the tall buildings on both sides. It was pitch black everywhere. It seemed like it had just rained lightly, and only the wet ground reflected a faint light from somewhere.

There seemed to be "people" standing not far away, in groups of three or four, all with their heads down, as if they were chatting about something.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Fu Minghui found himself standing at the end of the road.

There was a fork in the road, a crossroads divided into two alleys by three buildings. There was not even a traffic light at the intersection, and there was no way to go back.

Coward Fu Minghui tried it, because she suddenly felt scared and instinctively wanted to go back to the light. But when she turned around, she found that the light had disappeared.

The moment you walk into the darkness, the light is gone, as if it had never appeared.

There was no choice but to grit her teeth and move forward.

Whether to go left or right, she hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the right first.

Tap-tap-tap, her footsteps sounded terrifying, as if they were knocking on his heart.

As we went deeper into the alley, we were getting closer and closer to the people leaning against the tall buildings on both sides.

Was it someone she remembered, someone she later forgot?

She tried to open her eyes wide, trying to see their faces clearly. She didn't know if this was a memory related to the black shadow creature, but she couldn't see it clearly at all.

Should you take the initiative to approach them and talk to them?

This is the second update today.

The following is still to be updated.
