Chapter 50 (1/2)

Hu Xing doesn't know where she is now. He saw the sewer and grandpa in the sewer, as well as the shadow tangled with Grandpa, but she knew she was not in the sewer. She can see them, but they can't see themselves.

”What the hell is this?” Hu Xing asked.

Aoki shook his head and said, ”I don't know.”

”You say that dreams are created by yourself, so nightmares should also be created by yourself. But why should people create a terrible world to scare themselves?” Hu Xing said: ”just like my grandfather now, why should they create a shadow to kill him in their dreams?”

Aoki said: ”People's nightmares are often stimulated by the outside world. For example, when I burn your toes with a lighter while you are asleep, you will dream of a fire burning your body; when I pour some water on you, you will dream of a torrential flood. Of course, even without such external stimulation, you will have nightmares. That's because you have fear in your heart, which is hidden in your subconscious mind When you dream, the subconscious will visualize your fear by weaving relevant memory materials. The darker the heart, the more nightmares you have. ”

”But I'm sure --” Aoki's face became dignified. ”This shadow was never created by your grandfather. It doesn't belong to the product of your grandfather's consciousness. It's an intruder!”

”Intruder?”

”Yes, intruder,” Aoki said, ”Just like us now, we can also be called the intruder in your grandfather's dream, but we have stayed at his border, not to disturb him, let alone invade him. If you get closer, his conscious space will be disturbed, the space will fluctuate, and the dreams of ordinary people with weak mental power will collapse and he will wake up from bed. If the dreamer's spirit The force is much stronger than you. You may be bound by his space rules and can't escape, or even be attacked by him. ”

”You mean that shadow is another person like us?” Hu Xing asked.

Aoki said, ”not quite. It can disguise as the shadow of your grandfather, which shows that it has a very close relationship with your grandfather. If your grandfather is a schizophrenic, it makes sense.”

Hu Xing thought it was incredible and said, ”impossible! My grandfather has never had a mental problem.”

Aoki said, ”that's very troublesome. The shadow obviously has independent consciousness and knows everything about your grandfather. He can control the light in your grandfather's dream, which shows that he knows the rules and spatial structure in the dream clearly. He even knows what your grandfather's consciousness will do next.”

”It's terrible! Why did he want me to kill my grandfather?”

”To be exact, it's not killing your grandfather, but killing your grandfather's ontological consciousness,” Aoki said.

”What's the difference?” Hu Xing asked.

”If he succeeds, your grandfather's brain and body will be his in the future. That is to say, your grandfather won't die. He eats, drinks and laughs with you every day, but this person is probably not your grandfather, but another person. You can also call it - giving up!”

”Ah, it's terrible!” Hu Xing opened her mouth. ”Aoki, you have to help my grandfather. He's a good man. This family can't do without him. You must have a way to destroy the intruder, at least drive him out of my grandfather's body!”

”I'll try.”

Aoki then took a step forward. Strangely, they had been at the boundary of Xia Wenyuan's dream. They were very far away. When they took this step, they came to Xia Wenyuan as if they had crossed a space-time corridor.

At this time, the long shadow was climbing along the wall of the sewer to Xia Wenyuan's head.

The head of a thin shadow hung upside down from the top of the cave. It opened its mouth and showed its dark teeth. In its mouth was a dark, bottomless hole.

But the arrival of Qingmu obviously disturbed it. The shadow and Xia Wenyuan turned their heads to see them at the same time.

”Who are you?” almost at the same time, Aoki and Xia Wenyuan's shadow asked the same words.
